Chapter 147 The Media's Reading Comprehension Ability Is Always Strong

The audition clip was only 1 and a half minutes long, and it took 5 minutes for each person to finish the audition, including the time for talking and discussing.

20 minutes later, the audition of the 5 leading candidates was over.

Next to the long table, 7 crew members sat in a row.

In the middle, Chen Xiao rubbed his eyebrows.

"In terms of acting skills, the last four can be directly ruled out. They can't carry the team."

According to Yan He, both martial arts and acting skills are lacking. If you work hard to teach them, they can barely do it.

But I always feel that he is a bit impetuous.

Kuang Shaoyi frowned and said, "Director Chen, you have such good acting skills, just play the leading role yourself. Although your martial arts skills are a little weak, it's okay, I will teach you well!"

Sun Li echoed, "I think it's okay, but you don't look mature enough. Go out and get some sun and grow a beard for a few days, and it will definitely be okay."

Chen Xiao waved his hand, "I have to build a company next month, and I have to find a senior management team. There is not enough time."

Now, many domestic and foreign film and television companies are eyeing him and the company he is about to establish.

Domestic companies are okay. Everyone knows that he is backed by the Ministry of Culture, so they dare not do anything to him. But it is not certain about foreign companies.

So he wants to find trustworthy people to serve as executives to prevent problems, such as creative leaks and financial problems.

Unless the executive team can be settled, he will not take on more work.

People have limited energy and time. No matter how much work there is, the quality cannot be guaranteed.

Kuang Shaoyi was surprised and said, "You are still going to set up a company next month? Then the chief director..."

Sun Li looked at Kuang Shaoyi and smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry about the quality. When Director Chen was filming "Interstellar", he was the chief director while doing the soundtrack and post-production. Young people have good physical strength. However, Director Chen's physical strength is indeed better than that of ordinary young people."

Kuang Shaoyi raised his eyebrows, was shocked, and looked at Chen Xiao carefully.

Physical strength and energy are so good?

Could it be that Director Chen is a martial arts wizard like the protagonist?

Sun Li glanced at Chen Xiao and saw that he was not very satisfied with Yan He.

But it is indeed difficult to find actors who are good at acting and martial arts.

Sun Li tentatively said, "Why don't we ask Yan He about his schedule and contract first? We'll keep it as a backup and look for someone else at the same time."

Chen Xiao nodded, "Okay."

...

"Mr. Duo?"

Fang Rong spat out a mouthful of water and asked back.

Beside him, a row of directors and martial arts instructors, including Chen Xiao, were all in disbelief.

Yan He repeated, "40 million. This is my lowest price in history. I'm really sincere."

Fang Rong slowly screwed on the mineral water bottle and wiped his mouth.

"Do you still need actors to shoot idol dramas? If you still need people, Director Chen, I don't want to do it anymore. I want to shoot idol dramas."

The words were a joke, but the surprise was real experience.

He always shoots serious dramas.

Although I heard that traffic stars have extremely high pay, I always thought it was a rumor. Hearing the number of 40 million with my own ears was really shocking.

He had previously shot an anti-Japanese war film, inviting a national first-class actor to play the leading role, and it was broadcast on the TV drama channel. That was a TV series that every family watched.

The lead actor gets 200,000 yuan per episode, and 8 million yuan for a TV series.

This is not him trying to lower the price, it is definitely not low in the feature film industry. Some only pay 100,000 yuan per episode.

This Yan He, he asked for 40 million yuan right away?

Their total budget for actors is only 30 million yuan, and he wants 40 million yuan alone?

Is he crazy?

The agent saw the shock of several directors and hurriedly explained: "Everyone, don't get me wrong. We didn't ask for too much. For example, Mr. Yan He starred in a TV series last year. It was an idol drama. It took three months to prepare and shoot, and the salary was 80 million yuan. This time it also took three months, and there were fight scenes that might cause injuries, so the requirements were higher. But we cut the salary in half, which really showed our sincerity."

Sun Li's face was also a little ugly.

He invited the person here, and the reference data he found was the quotation of Yan He's role in a fight movie three years ago. I didn't expect the quotation to increase so much in the past two years.

He frowned and said:

"Movies and TV series are different. Let me explain it to you."

"TV series are ToB attributes, which means they are aimed at enterprises. The film purchasing director or website executives in the industry decide the purchase price of TV series. They pay great attention to stars when purchasing, and the revenue of the producer is less affected by the market."

"Movies are ToC, facing the audience, and the audience's ticket purchase determines the revenue. So in most cases, the overall pay in the film industry is lower, ranging from 1/20 to 1/5 of a TV series."

"The reason why everyone is willing to act in movies with lower pay is that it can enhance your international status. If you act in movies, many international big names will ask you to endorse them."

Sun Li said a long paragraph, thinking that he could persuade him to lower the price to the million level.

The result...

Yan He fiddled with the ring on his hand and glanced up at Sun Li.

"Then I choose the profit-sharing model. 3% of the producer's revenue, how about it?"

Hearing this, several directors were shocked again.

Is this kid crazy?

Who does he think he is? How irreplaceable is he that he wants the producer to share?

Chen Xiao closed the information in his hand and ordered him to leave.

"Our temple is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you. We will choose someone else. Thank you for your help."

If he can perform at the level of Stephen Chow, let alone 3%, even 30%, or even double it, 60% of the producer's profit, he can give it to him.

But Yan He has to spend a lot of effort to teach him. And he also wants a 3% share.

Isn't this just spending money to find a job for yourself? Do you think he is mentally ill?

Seeing Yan He motionless and looking ugly, Chen Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Picking up the information and standing up, he glanced at Sun Li, "Teacher Sun, please look for a suitable actor again."

"Okay."

After that, Chen Xiao took the information and left the audition room directly and walked towards the lounge.

Other directors also left the audition room.

Fang Rong took two quick steps and caught up with Chen Xiao.

"Let's continue to look for people. Don't be angry with him. You have been in the industry for a short time and don't know much. Some people are just here to make money. They don't care about reputation."

The criticism on the Internet has long been heard by the stars.

But some people's goal is to make money, and they will enjoy themselves after making money. As long as they are not banned, nothing else matters.

It's just a matter between fans and passers-by.

As Sun Li said, the revenue of TV series is less affected by the market. As long as the stars have fans, they can make money.

Chen Xiao sighed lightly, forced a smile and smiled at Fang Rong.

"Director Fang, can you stop nagging like Tang Seng? I'm not angry, I'm just looking at the actress's information."

...

Yan He and his group also left the villa.

Walking on the stone road, the agent snorted coldly.

"Where can they find someone more suitable than you? Don't worry, Chen Xiao is not short of money, and he will definitely find you with money in the end!"

The assistant echoed: "Well, it's true. You can't teach a big martial artist to play a gangster, right?"

The group walked out of the villa area along the path, and a large group of reporters surrounded them as soon as they arrived at the door.

"Teacher Yan, have you chosen?"

"Who are the people who came to choose the male lead today?"

"Have you decided on your salary?"

...

Yan He wore sunglasses, snorted, and didn't speak.

The agent smiled and said:

"There are five candidates in total. We performed the best overall, so we talked a little more later. We are also the best among the first batch of candidates."

"It's a pity that Director Chen has high standards. There is no plan to cooperate for the time being."

"But we believe that he will definitely find a more suitable one. If there is no more suitable one, we are willing to cooperate."

This statement first raised Yan He's status and said that he performed well overall.

It didn't make it final, leaving a way out for cooperation.

However, Yan He walked towards the parking lot before the agent finished speaking.

Leaving behind a group of reporters looking at each other, quickly doing reading comprehension in their minds.

Five minutes later, the media, which acted quickly, directly issued a short news.

"The male lead of Chen Xiao's new film is suspected to have failed in casting, and intends to cast again! "
