Star Volunteer [System]

Not long after, the filming of "blackjack" ended, and Zhou Jiang returned to China to prepare for a new play.

Originally, he didn't need to be so anxious to accept the play, but this play was for Su ye.Su Ye's reputation is gradually rising now, and more and more people are looking for him to film. Although his performance in "The Devil Is Coming" is not as good as the three world-class movie kings, he is still very eye-catching. People recognize his acting skills Therefore, in addition to those idol dramas, there are also some movie scripts that come to the door. This time it is the script of the new generation of domestic director Li Sheng, in which Su Ye will play the leading role.

The script of this gangster drama is really good, Zhou Jiang has also received the script, but with his current status, the dramas that the company accepts for him are all directed by top directors, Li Sheng is good in the new generation, but not well-known. The box office is not very good, and there are no awards. The work with the best performance in the past is actually a micro-movie.

Besides, the script was only good, so it wasn't enough for him to play the leading role.

Li Sheng himself didn't think he could impress Zhou Jiang, and he wasn't too disappointed when he was rejected. Besides, Zhou Jiang's salary is high. If he really hired him, he would have to escape half of the cost, so he turned around and contacted Su Ye first. The leading actor is quite suitable for Su ye.Choosing Su Ye, on the one hand, he is indeed malleable, on the other hand, he is "cheap and good quality", the salary is not high, his acting skills are acceptable, and his popularity is acceptable.He is still hesitant about choosing the second male lead. Although he is only the second male lead, the boss of the gang has high requirements for acting skills, which can be said to be higher than that of the protagonist, and the age setting is also relatively young. If it is really not possible, he can only choose some acting skills An old actor with a strong foundation, he will be relatively older.

Unexpectedly, just two days after he finalized Su Ye as the leading actor, Zhou Jiang contacted him and asked if the second male lead would be cast. The answer was of course no.

So Li Sheng was ecstatic to welcome Zhou Jiang into the film crew. He couldn't figure out why the international actor who declined him two days ago agreed so easily. great.

Of course, Zhou Jiang didn't agree because of the script or Li Sheng's ability. He agreed purely to protect Suye.

It was the first time for Su Ye to star in a movie. It wasn't that Zhou Jiang didn't believe in Su Ye, it was just that Su Ye was a bit reluctant to star in a movie. He could watch it in the past. As long as someone can point it, he can definitely do a good job.

After knowing this, Su Ye was naturally moved, but he also made up his mind to perform well and impress Zhou Jiang - at least not to waste his heart.

Zhou Jiang debuted for several years, and acted in many film and television dramas. Except for "Shu Men", he has never played any villain roles. Even in "Shu Men", the Jiang Li he played is not a pure villain.But in this script, Zhou Jiang will really challenge a "pure villain" role, which is also a transformation in a sense.

It's not the first time he has filmed with Su Ye. Whether it's "Little Youth", "Shumen" or "The Devil Is Coming", the two have collaborated, especially in "Little Youth", the two still play each other's good friends, but After confirming the relationship, this movie will be the first collaboration between the two, and I'm a little nervous when I think about it.

Filming together means that for at least two or three months, they will get along day and night in the same crew, and they will have enough time to get bored.

What Zhou Jiang thought in his heart was that since he was with Su Ye, he really didn't intend to hide it from anyone, but after all, the two of them had special orientations, and even if it was for Su Ye, he couldn't make it public. People in the circle know it, and gradually let the fans understand it in their hearts, and it is the default attitude not to disclose it.So during filming, he didn't intend to hide it from the director.He also noticed that Xue Yonglin might have guessed the truth, but did not expose it, which was beyond his expectation.

Maybe it's because of the renewal?His contract is about to expire, and the company should be in a hurry.

Regarding the issue of the contract, Zhou Jiang has seriously considered it.

Starlight Entertainment is a good company, the boss, manager, and staff are all very good, and his two good friends Xiao Chen and Ye Ziwen are also artists under Starlight Entertainment, his contract salary was not high when he participated in the selection , After winning the Best Actor Award, the company took the initiative to improve several grades; most of the scripts were picked by Zhou Jiang himself, even if it was a niche literary film, he didn't interfere; he didn't like variety shows, so the company rarely accepted some for him. Variety show, even when he was a rookie... In general, Starlight Entertainment is really a good company, but after all, it is a big commercial company, and it always puts commercial interests first, no matter how caring the company is to artists , and there is always something that makes him feel constrained.

Didn't Han Fengjue treat him so well because he wanted him to be the next pillar of Starlight Entertainment?Moreover, as one of the largest entertainment companies in the industry, Starlight Entertainment has sufficient resources and contacts.If he broke away from the company and set up his own studio, even though he is now an international actor, it would still be inconvenient in terms of resources and contacts.

But just staying in Starlight Entertainment, it seems... not very good.

Income is not the point.

Just like the relationship with Su ye this time, no matter how much he doesn't care about the impact of the publicity, he still has to worry about the company's feelings.

Therefore, it seemed the most reasonable choice to follow the system's advice and build a studio affiliated with Starlight Entertainment.

...and the studio can also pull Su ye over.

After having his own studio, he will have a lot of freedom, but he can also enjoy some resources of a big company, which can't be better!

But it is very important to set up a studio, to find someone you can trust.

In terms of law, finance, etc., you need trusted professionals. After setting up a studio, many celebrities like to ask some relatives and friends to help them take care of it. It is true that relatives and friends are more trustworthy, but let outsiders take care of a studio. The result of the studio is definitely not as good as that of a professional, and it may be messed up because the other party is unreliable.

This time he was in such a hurry to return to China, partly because he was busy with filming, and partly because of contract matters, the company should talk to him about contract renewal soon.The system did not insist on his choice, but only gave the suggestion of "establishing a studio affiliated with the company" after listening to his troubles.

Zhou Jiang didn't tell Su ye these things, and there was no need to tell him for the time being to make him worry.
