The bard joins the entertainment industry

You Xiaogang looked at the biography in his hand and listened to Chen Shuo's character analysis, feeling a little surprised.

He thought that even if Chen Shuo had read it, he would only have some understanding of the script, but he didn't expect that he would think so much.

Moreover, his understanding was different from his own setting of the character Fulin.

I regard the relationship between Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E more as the main line of these two characters.

However, Chen Shuo regards the struggle between Shunzhi, Dorgon and Xiaozhuang as the main line, and the emotional line as an extension of this struggle.

He closed the book, pondered for a while and said: "You understand it very well. I can see that you have worked hard. But..."

"Director You, please tell me." Chen Shuo said as if he was listening attentively, "I haven't studied the script very much during this period, so Director You just gave me some pointers."

"Although our play is advertised as a serious drama, it also follows the requirements of a serious drama. But in fact, it is a drama, focusing more on the portrayal of emotions."

The style of a play is determined by the director. As a director, he must have a clear understanding of his own work and cannot have inconsistent styles.

Otherwise, the whole show would seem confusing.

When the crew is promoting, they can say all kinds of big words, but as the director, I can't really believe it.

Chen Shuo pondered for a moment and asked: "In other words, I understood the direction in the wrong direction?"

"That's not wrong. Although we focus on the emotional aspect, we also have the struggle you mentioned and the court battle you want to express.

But it is more reflected in the generation of Xiaozhuang and Dorgon.

Fulin and Boguoer are more like the continuation and reflection of the struggle of their generation. "

"Okay, I understand." Chen Shuo nodded, and then began to ask You Xiaogang for his understanding of the character Fulin.

You Xiaogang's words are actually not difficult to understand. What he means is that this drama should still focus on Xiaozhuang and Dorgon.

The story of Emperor Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E is used to enrich the relationship between the two, mainly serving as a foil.

"director!"

The two were talking when a quiet voice sounded next to them.

Chen Shuo turned around and saw a small girl with delicate features and dark eyes standing not far away.

"Shu Chang is here." You Xiaogang saw her face light up and waved, "Here, let me introduce to you, this is the actor who plays Fulin, Chen Shuo."

Chen Shuo stood up and looked at her walking over. He stood up and nodded and said, "Hello, I'm Chen Shuo. I play the role of the adult Fulin."

"Hello, I'm Shu Chang, the actor who plays Concubine Dong E."

Shu Chang walked over slowly, nodded to Chen Shuo, and said: "I know you, you are Zhu Yunwen who is very popular during this time."

"No, you two will have a lot of scenes together in the future. Get to know each other as soon as possible." You Xiaogang put his hands together in the middle, indicating that he wanted the two of them to get closer.

Then he said to Chen Shuo: "Chen Shuo, we will have plenty of opportunities to discuss characters and plots in the future. Now you go and sign the contract first, and then decide on the look.

It just so happens that we take advantage of today to take some makeup photos.

Time is tight. We will hold a press conference for the film tomorrow, and it will officially start filming the day after tomorrow. "

"Okay, then you are busy, Director You." Chen Shuo nodded to Shu Chang and turned to look for Wu Qi.

When he was talking to You Xiaogang, Wu Qi had already discussed everything about the contract.

"There is nothing wrong with the contract, the main thing is the salary." Wu Qi took the contract and explained it to him one by one, then pointed to the salary and said: "The crew signed you because of your current fame.

As the old saying goes, don't wait until the time comes. I'm going to raise your salary now, to RMB 12,000 per episode.

After all, your film is just a supporting role, so it is difficult to increase your salary.

There are 16 episodes of adult Fulin's scenes, a total of 192,000. "

Chen Shuo didn't care too much about his worth. Naturally, Wu Qi and Shan Xiaolou had to worry about this.

He did a rough calculation and found out that the salary of nearly 200,000 yuan was deducted from the company's commission and personal tax.

In the end, I got about 46,000 yuan, which was less than a quarter of the total salary. This was even if the company's commission was not harsh.

Although actors' remuneration is high, the corresponding taxes and commissions are also high.

If your single income does not exceed RMB 20,000, you must pay 20%, and if your income does not exceed RMB 50,000, you must pay 30%. If you earn more than RMB 50,000, you must pay 40%, or even more.

This tax must be paid as long as a formal contract is signed. Failure to pay it is a crime.

Where actors really make money is through acupoint tours, commercial performances, and the like.

In this way, the single income is small and the tax rate is low. Some even give it directly in cash. No one knows how much is given without signing a contract, and there is no need to pay taxes at all.

A business performance also takes very little time, ranging from a few hours to a day. After ten days and a half, you can earn nearly one million yuan, and you will end up with a lot of money.

During this period, Wu Qi took Yu Bo to many places. Although it was not as exaggerated as his income of one million in half a month, it was still several hundred thousand.

However, the contract for the "Xiaozhuang" crew was already very good to Chen Shuo. He had no objection and went directly to Wu Qi to sign the contract.

After signing the contract, a prompt appeared in front of him:

"The character gets a performance challenge, the blessing of "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang".

Challenge reward: 1000 professional experience points, 1000 drama skill experience points.

Tip: The final result will be based on the final evaluation, and you will receive corresponding experience rewards. "

There are more scenes in 15 episodes than Sang Qiuyu, and the role is not light.

After the contract was signed, Chen Shuo followed the guidance of a stage manager to customize the makeup.

The most distinctive features of Qing palace opera are the Yin and Yang heads and long braids of the Qing Dynasty. In order to wear hair condoms, the head must be shaved.

Of course, if you don’t want to shave off your whole head, then just shave your head with a real yin and yang and add braids.

But Chen Shuo doesn't have that preference. Even if he wears a wig in the drama, it's not embarrassing enough for him to have a male and female head.

After getting acquainted with Yang Junyi and others, and seeing that they all had long hair, Chen Shuo slowly started to grow it, and within a year it had grown to the length of a shawl.

It was a little inconvenient at first, but he gradually got used to it. Now that he had to shave it off, he was really reluctant to do it.

He twirled his hair and sighed: "What a pity, I have had such long hair since last year."

The stylist picked up a lock of hair and asked, "Can I cut it?"

There is also a camera carrying a camera on the side to record all this.

"Cut it." Chen Shuo put down his hand and covered it with a scarf to prevent any stubble of hair from falling on his body.

With a "click", a bunch of hair fell down, and then as if the ceremony had been completed, the stylist directly picked up the clippers and started pushing.

After a while, a smooth, bald head appeared.

Chen Shuo looked at himself in the mirror, touched the smooth top of his head, and said, "I suddenly changed from long hair to bald head. This scalp is really a bit chilly."
