My singer girlfriend is super fierce.

Seeing the name of the script, Zheng Qi, who had preconceived that it was a comedy, was embarrassed and thought about how to politely refuse without offending Ye Zhiqiu.

Wang Qiang, who learned that it was an art film, didn't say anything. He took the script and began to read it seriously.

While Wang Qiang was reading the script, agent Zheng Qi took the initiative to find topics to chat with Ye Zhiqiu.

"Director Ye, the nominations for this year's Baihua Award will be out soon."

"I think so."

"The Baihua Award is held every two years. The date for this year has been set, on August 15. Generally, nominations are announced two months in advance, and it is estimated that it will be in these few days."

Zheng Qi analyzed, and then said with admiration: "Director Ye, you must have a lot of nominations for this year's Baihua Award, and you will definitely win the award in the end."

This is not Zheng Qi's compliment. In the past two years, the domestic box office of more than 3 billion movies can be counted on ten fingers, and "I Am Not the God of Medicine" and "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes to the World" related to Ye Zhiqiu account for two of them!

In addition, "The Return of the Great Sage" and "No Man's Land" are also excellent works...

Ye Zhiqiu alone covers the three roles of director, screenwriter, and actor. With the popularity of these works, it is really a high probability that he will win the award...

"Thank you for your good words." Ye Zhiqiu smiled.

Zheng Qi glanced at Wang Qiang, who was still concentrating on reading the script. He was curious about why his face looked so serious. He didn't look like he was watching a comedy at all. He said regretfully, "Qiangzi's situation is not so good."

"The last movie barely recovered its cost, and the ratings were not high. There was definitely no hope of winning an award."

At this point, Zheng Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, Director Ye. Three years ago, we were full of energy and wanted to challenge the domestic actor."

"In the end, we won the Golden Broom Award. We are not good enough as a director. Two years have passed in the past three years, and we haven't won the actor award. We haven't even been nominated once..."

Zheng Qi deliberately mentioned these things during the chat, just to pave the way for Ye Zhiqiu in advance, so that Wang Qiang's refusal after reading the script would not seem so blunt.

Ye Zhiqiu knew what the other party was thinking, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he smiled and said, "In fact, I always think that Brother Wang Qiang's acting skills are underestimated."

"Everyone is impressed by the comedy he played, but ignores his acting skills. If he can meet a good script, I believe Brother Qiang has a good chance of winning another Best Actor Award."

"You think so too?" Zheng Qi looked slightly happy, and then sighed and said, "But it's not easy to meet a good script."

"There have been many scripts that have come to me in the past two years, but most of them are of average quality... Director Ye, your "Detective Chinatown" is the best one."

Zheng Qi flattered him and continued, "Those art films that are looking for awards don't think of us when they look for actors. It's really rare to meet one..."

As he spoke, Zheng Qi glanced at Wang Qiang and became more and more confused.

How come this "comedy" script not only doesn't make him laugh, but his face becomes more and more solemn? But I can't care so much...

After more than half an hour, Wang Qiang took a deep breath and slowly put down the script in his hand.

On the side, Zheng Qi, the agent who was always paying attention to his actions, was about to speak, but Wang Qiang spoke first.

"I'll take this play."

"What?" Zheng Qi thought Wang Qiang was going to refuse, and was about to agree, but the next moment he reacted and was dumbfounded, turning his head and looking at Wang Qiang with incredible eyes.

This is different from what we said before!

"No, Qiangzi, let's not consider it again?" Zheng Qi persuaded hurriedly, and in a place where Ye Zhiqiu couldn't see, he desperately blinked at Wang Qiang.

"No, I want to play this role!" Wang Qiang repeated it firmly.

"..." Zheng Qi was speechless, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"This role is so resonant, that feeling...how to say..." Wang Qiang's tone was excited, and it was obvious that the script he just read had touched him a lot.

"Oh! I'm not good at talking... I can't describe the feeling! To be honest, when I read this script, it's just like watching real life. There was such a person in our village before..."

"No more talking, I can sign the contract anytime!"

As Wang Qiang described, Zheng Qi gradually reacted.

It sounds like this, "Hellow! Mr. Tree" doesn't look like a comedy?

Then, he was even more confused. What kind of script could move Wang Qiang so much that he even had the urge to act in it.

As for Wang Qiang's reaction, Ye Zhiqiu seemed to have expected it. With a calm smile on his face, he said, "Brother Qiang, don't worry about the contract."

"Brothers also have toLet's be clear about the accounts. There are a few points that we should clarify in business. "

Wang Qiang calmed down a little now and nodded to listen.

"First of all, the box office of this movie will not be very high." This was Ye Zhiqiu's first sentence.

In the previous life, "Hello! Mr. Tree" was a drama film written and directed by director Han Jie and starred by Wang Baoqiang.

The film mainly tells the story of a rural youth named "Shu" who gradually collapsed and became abnormal in the face of family tragedy and real difficulties.

The atmosphere of the whole movie is very gloomy and depressing from beginning to end. Even if there are occasional humorous moments, it is just to push the current situation into a more desperate abyss.

In the previous life, this film was a "well-received but not popular" type. It only received a pitiful 2 million box office in China. Although the ratings and word of mouth were very good, it was once unable to make back the cost. It was only after adding various subsequent benefits that it was able to achieve profitability.

"Then, to be honest, I didn't think about making money from this movie. I shot it with the mentality that I might lose money, and the production cost would not be very high. "Ye Zhiqiu continued.

"So, the pay can't be like other commercial films. If you, Brother Qiang, act in it, the pay may be only a dozen or even a few dozen of other films. "

The previous sentence was nothing, but Zheng Qi frowned again when he heard this.

No one can predict the box office, but it's not in accordance with the rules to ask Wang Qiang to reduce his pay so much!

It's not that they are obsessed with money or something, but an actor has a value and level. At Wang Qiang's level, his pay for a movie is about 40 million. There may be a friendship price, but it won't be reduced that much.

Otherwise, if others know about it and say, "I'm your buddy too, why is he acting at this price and not me?" What should I do? Later, I may offend more people invisibly.

However, to Zheng Qi's surprise, Wang Qiang still answered without thinking.

"Okay!"

"This movie is really good, you can decide the pay, just let me act!"

"! ? "Hearing this, Zheng Qi's eyes almost went dark.

What kind of script is this? Is Wang Qiang trying so hard to act it out?
