I want to die every day [entertainment circle]

"Ha Chirp—" Xiyan almost sprayed Tulan with snot all over his face, and quickly took out a tissue to cover it, and apologized to him.

Tulan smiled and said that she didn't mind, and said, "Director Xi should pay attention to his body and keep warm. It's still cold in the north this season, especially when we're going to the mountains."

"Well, thank you." Xiyan smiled kindly.

Looking at the smile on Tulan's mouth, Bian Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Since Qi Ke'er needs to learn about the process of participating in the "Fengya" Global Model Collection Competition, she has to sign up in advance. She can't join the group to participate in the filming these days, and without her, the seven-member team will have no part in acting together. Xi Yan decided to solve Fang Bei and Su Yi, Chai Jimu and Chai Qi's two-two pairing scene and the hero's battle of wits and courage in the mountains and forests.

After arriving at the destination, everyone was busy moving the shed and equipment, adjusting a series of camera equipment and spotlight equipment, and the actors were arranging clothes and touching up makeup, and Xiyan was alone on his exclusive director's seat—the elderly reclining chair flustered.

What is he panicking about?money! The main investor of "Soul Eater" is of course Stellar Entertainment. Stellman will continue to fulfill what Fu Zhichuan ordered him to do, and give him as much money as possible. Supporting the production and distribution of this film, "Soul Eater" has another major capital injection group-Golden Dragon Films, plus Xiyan also pays for it himself, and takes half of the money earned from "Innocent" All proceeds have been invested in, and the budget has reached 6000 million, which is a medium-sized production film.

Generally speaking, the cost of a movie includes the director, screenwriter, camera, actors, scenes, post-production, board and lodging, etc. The cost of the director and actors usually accounts for the bulk of the cost. When Xi Yan was looking for actors, he worked with the producer After careful calculation, after all, the budget is loose and you can't be too presumptuous, because the marketing and publicity costs are also very high after the film is completed.

But now Tulan came and broke the original investment plan.Tu Yingdi's achievements in movies are really high. He is not only an actor, but also the owner of an independent studio. Ji Xiaoxiao's manager Lin Heng signed under the name of his studio, and his good reputation comes from Because of his attainments other than acting, and because his mother is a famous Chinese painter who often goes out to participate in exhibitions on behalf of the country, he has been exposed to many excellent works since he was a child, and has a certain status in the painting circle. His popularity is so high that he is praised as the artist who can catch up with Fu Zhichuan within ten years. Multi-skilled people.

So here comes the question, how much salary is appropriate for Tu Lan?If you give too little, people probably won't bother to ask for it; if you give too much, it will seem like flattery.

He secretly asked the producer, thinking that since you contacted him, the remuneration should have been negotiated, but the producer said: "I contacted his agent, and his agent asked the picture actor and said it was you— ——Xi Yan, to make a new film, Tu Actor agreed without saying a word, I didn't mention the remuneration from the beginning to the end, I wanted to speak up several times but I didn't find a good time, you can talk to him when you have time. "

The producer patted him on the shoulder with an expression of "I believe in you very much, you can definitely do it, you'd better make me a bargain, don't make me lose my pants", the encouragement was beyond words, Xiyan deeply felt that he had a heavy responsibility way far.

"That... Tu Lan King..." While everyone was busy preparing, Xi Yan quietly went over to discuss with Tu Lan alone.

Tulan put down the script, smiled, and said, "Director Xi, you can just call me Tulan, or, in order to make me fit into the character better, you can call me Gu Qingshuang, don't call me the movie king, some It’s just a false name, I’m just an ordinary actor under you now.”

Tsk tsk, look at his level, his ideological consciousness is high, and he doesn't have any airs.Xiyan was stunned secretly, cleared his throat, and said, "It's like this, about your salary..."

"Coincidentally, I was about to talk about that too."

Hearing what he said, Xiyan's heart was full of alarm bells, thinking that he was about to drop a blockbuster, at least a price beyond his imagination, but unexpectedly, he heard a very chic sentence: "Actually, I don't need to be paid. "

For a moment, Xiyan thought that there was something wrong with his ears, so he raised his head suddenly, opened his mouth wide and stared at him blankly: "What are you talking about?" Such things as zero pay seem to only exist in legends, and movie kings don't specialize in it. Charitable, how could it be possible to follow the crew all the way to the northern mountainous area to suffer from the cold, eat boxed lunches, eat steamed buns and live in a B&B, with no pay in the end?It's more terrifying than a knife in the sky.

"Do you remember going to the 798 Art Zone not long ago?" Tu Lan asked with a smile.

Xi Yan tried his best to think back, if he wanted to say "not long ago", it could only be the time when he went to find Gu Cexuan and heard the "bad news" like a bolt from the blue.

"It seems that you still remember such a thing." Tu Lan observed Xiyan's expression, "Then do you remember that gallery?"

Xiyan actually has a pretty good memory, he even remembers the events of his previous life so clearly, it's only been a few months in this life, so it's impossible to forget.The exhibits in the gallery at that time evoked Xiyan's memory of being a student at the Academy of Fine Arts, and he stayed there for a while before he knew it. Every painting he had seen in the gallery could still be clearly presented in front of his eyes.

"In fact, the owner of the gallery is my mother, the old lady you were talking to."

The old lady... that kind old woman in the saffron Tang suit?Xi Xiaoyan was really stunned.

There are so many people in the gallery, Mrs. Tu noticed Xiyan in the crowd at a glance, and communicated with him for a while with a casual chatting attitude, but found that this young man was very good at art. She pretended that she didn't understand anything, and set out more Xiyan's evaluation of the painting. With her old and keen eyes, it was obvious that Xiyan was not only good at appreciation, but also that he himself His hands-on ability should not be bad either.

Nowadays, most young people in the society are impatient and impatient, and it is difficult to find people who can calm down and ponder art. There are really not many people like Xi Yan who have such advanced art concepts and solid foundations of painting skills at a young age.Wouldn't it be a pity to miss such a talent?

After returning home, Mrs. Tu told her son Tulan about this matter, and it was a coincidence that the painting that Xiyan commented in detail at that time was "the best and most regrettable work in this exhibition in the entire gallery" was exactly from Tulan It is still a work that has won awards abroad.

Tulan thought that his level was already very high. After hearing Xiyan's evaluation of his works from Mrs. Tu, he realized that there are still many things that can be improved, and he was inspired a lot.So he has been looking for an opportunity to communicate with Xi Yanduo, and it happened that the producer invited him to join "Soul Eater", and he immediately agreed.

"So..." Xiyan hesitated.He still hasn't fully grasped the emotional basis of Tu Lan's utterance of zero pay. It can't be because he has criticized his paintings, right?Shouldn't the lion open his mouth more in this way?

"So you can use other things instead of salary." Tu Lan said with a smile, "such as your paintings."

"...I'm not very good at drawing." Xiyan has always felt that his painting level has regressed after rebirth, and now he only draws the simplest sketches, doing as he pleases, always making movies and planning Movies, there is no time to buy drawing boards, pens and paints. Although the saying goes that good books do not choose brushes, but for good painters, good tools are still very important. After all, you cannot use pencils to draw bright colors. Oil painting, isn't it?

"It's not up to you to decide whether it's good or not, and I really want to comment on your paintings." Tu Lan blinked.

No matter how many shortcomings of his own work were pointed out by others, Tulan was a little unconvinced deep in his heart, and when he heard that his mother, who had always had a very high vision, valued so much Xiyan, who had only met once, he wanted to Know whether Xiyan has real materials or whether a blind cat ran into a dead mouse.

Xiyan thought about it, anyway, his paintings are not worth much, so I would give them to him, but I still feel a little uneasy: "I can definitely give you some paintings, but the salary..." Sometimes talking about money hurts feelings , Sometimes it is even more unsteady not to talk about money.

Tulan waved his hand smartly and said, "You can see and give it."

Because of his words, whenever he has free time in the following days, except for the time when he misses Fu Zhichuan and Fu Jiuyu, he will always ponder this question, as if he realized that when a boy and girl friend go out to dinner together and one of them says "casual" That awkward atmosphere.

On the first day, I adjusted the equipment, and it was over within two shots. Xi Yan saw that the actor Wu Yan, who played the leading role, looked very bad, so he ended it early and let everyone go to rest.Wu Yan's agent said that Wu Yan grew up in Hainan and had never been to a place as far north as Huaxia. She didn't get used to it for a while, and it might be fine in a few days. Xiyan was relieved for the time being.

In his initial construction, the heroine did not need to appear in the adventure of the seven-member team at all, but when discussing with several screenwriters later, the screenwriters thought that it is best for the heroine to know the hero early, so that The progress of the relationship will not be too abrupt, so they set up the details that the male protagonist always thinks of the female protagonist by his side after entering the mountain.Xi Yan also thought it was a good change, but she didn't expect Wu Yan to suffer.

That night, Xiyan sorted out his picture album, took out all the paintings that depicted Fu Zhichuan in detail, and gave Tulan some landscape pictures.At the beginning, Tulan accepted it politely with a smile. After turning two pages, his expression became serious. He ignored Xiyan who was still standing at the door and slammed the door. Xiyan's snot was scared back. .

After a good night's sleep, everyone got up refreshed and ready to start work the next day, but Wu Yan never came out of the room.Xi Yan and the producer asked Wu Yan's manager for a long time, and the manager was also in a hurry. After listening for a long time, Xi Yan finally understood. It turned out that Wu Yan was vomiting and diarrhea last night. After squinting for a while, when I woke up just now, I found that my whole body had a rash, which was painful and itchy, and I couldn't see anyone unless it was tightly wrapped.

"Need to go to the hospital?"

The manager hesitated and said, "It's just that the environment is not acclimatized..."

Bian Jiang took off the cigarette from his mouth, pointed at the manager and said sarcastically: "If no one dies, it means it's not serious? She'll be dehydrated later, so it's too late to save you and take responsibility?"

"What are you talking about! Am I the kind of agent who doesn't care about her health just to make her earn more money?" The agent flushed with anger.

"What? You seem to be getting angry from embarrassment. Are you not convinced?" Bian Jiang rolled up his sleeves slowly, and said bluntly, "If you are not convinced, fight. I have no rules not to fight with women."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiyan quickly stood between the two of them and persuaded them to stop.Just kidding, think the crew just started work and there is no news, can't you want to create some topics?What a big deal, if you don't agree with each other, you can pay it back!

Bian Jiang smiled nonchalantly, put the cigarette on his ears, turned around and pulled on his slippers to have breakfast, and said as he walked, "Don't look, don't look, why should you go? The steamed buns are really delicious…”

Later, Wu Yan was sent to the hospital. Her unaccustomed condition was so severe that the doctor was terrified. She had to give injections, hang water, take medicine and apply medicine. It took a long time.After Wu Yan woke up, she still had lingering fears about the feeling that she was going to die.

"Director Xi, I'm afraid I won't be able to act... I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."

Xiyan pursed her lips and said, "Do you really not want to persist?"

To be honest, it’s very common for actors to go back and forth on filming. Sometimes it’s easier, but staying in a film studio or indoor studio is sometimes more painful. You need to go deep into the mountains and old forests. Some people have better adaptability and don’t feel much. People feel a little bit and slowly try to overcome it, but there are also people like Wu Yan who are not physically good and not strong enough in will.

Wu Yan shook her head with a pale face, and replied: "I really can't accept the climate and food here. I was quite nervous before I came here, but now..."

Xi Yan thought about the possibility of revising the script for her, but the impromptu revision would not only bring a lot of trouble to other actors—especially Tu Lan, who played with Wu Yan the most, but also make it more difficult for Bian Jiang and him to grasp the whole plot and emotional processing.

Wu Yan's manager sent Xi Yan and his party out, apologized to them, and said that they would bring Wu Yan back to the south as soon as possible.In fact, she really wanted Wu Yan to stand up in her heart. After all, she had to bear the responsibility for breach of contract before she left until the filming started.

The producers and the director team began to worry again, where can they find a suitable actress to replace Wu Yan?

At this time, Tu Lan thought for a while, and said, "I can ask my friend, she should be on vacation like me before, maybe she is willing to come."

With such a high status as the King of Film and Television, his so-called friend will naturally not be an [-]th-tier artist, so Xiyan asked, "Who is it?"

"Anna, Luana."

Luana!The newly-promoted Golden Rose Actress, the most popular actress among the first-line artists recently.

Xiyan stared at him in disbelief, thinking, are you cheating me or helping me? It is enough to have a great god like you, and you need to bring another one?

The producer is very happy. A strong enough cast will greatly improve the film's ability to attract fans. For him, as long as he can make more money, other problems are minor problems.

Luanna is adjusting her mood recently. Since she held Lin Heng and cried once last time, she felt a lot more relaxed, so she took a long vacation for herself and nestled comfortably at home.Although it was Tu Lan Tu actor who personally called to invite her, she didn't agree at first, and asked who the director was, and Tu Lan replied that it was Xi Yan.

"Xi... Yan..." After reading it slowly, she suddenly came to her senses and sat up from the sofa, "Is it Xi Yan, the director of the very popular "Innocent" at the end of the year?" Lu Anna remembered what Lin Heng said in the box that night.

"um, yes."

Luanna thought for two seconds before replying, "Okay, I agree."

With her current popularity, she doesn't need to rely on a new director who has only produced one decent work so far to increase her popularity. She agreed to the invitation entirely because of Lin Heng's recommendation. Lin Heng has a special place in her heart. People no longer have the possibility of sublimating friendship. For her, a recommendation from Lin Heng is more effective than others begging her with money.

A few days later, after seeing Lu Ying rushing to reunite with the crew in such a hurry, everyone was thinking: Fuck, am I really dreaming?

"It seems that you are all conquered by my beauty." Luanna flicked her hair and smiled mischievously. Then everyone was released from the petrified state and silently accepted the fact that "the actress joined the crew".

The lineup of "Soul Eater" actors has not been announced to the public. The outside world is all rumors and has not been officially confirmed. So Xiyan didn't think too much at first, and just made a report with the public relations department.

Unexpectedly, the paparazzi took pictures of the sickly Wu Yan entering and leaving the hospital. It is said that a nurse in the hospital revealed that Wu Yan was originally on the set of "Soul Eater", but she was kicked out for some reason and became ill.

Now that Wu Yan's fans quit, what mistake did my goddess make to become so miserable, the crew of "Soul Eater" must give an explanation.

Stellar Entertainment's public relations department began to act immediately.

"Minister, are you still unplugging the phone line today?" A group of small staff flocked to Hao Ying and asked her for advice.

Hao Ying rolled up a knife and smashed them on the foreheads one by one, and said with a bit of resentment: "You still have to ask me about such a trivial matter? Why do you pull it out, tell the truth!"

Wu Yan was already very guilty that her sudden withdrawal made the crew very difficult to do. Seeing this kind of upside-down news, she immediately asked her agent to shoot a short video to clarify the problem. Xi Yan explained the reason on Weibo and stated that Wu Yan's The character will be replaced by Luana.

With three prongs, Wu Yan's fans finally stopped, and Lu Anna's fans went crazy again.

Posts discussing why Xiyan was so honorable to be able to invite both Tuyingdi and Luyinghou have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

After a small twists and turns, the crew finally started shooting daily.
