Chapter 90 Pirate Ship
Qiao Ruoxing was surprised. There were rumors that Yao Kexin was the heroine of this drama. Isn't it true?
Tang Xiaoxiao was also puzzled. She saw this news in the work group. At that time, several people forwarded it, saying that Yao Kexin was going to play Li Yan's drama. After a long time of fuss, nothing came of it. Now think about it, it must be this dead woman who made a fuss and hyped it up.
First, set off the atmosphere. When she is not selected, fans can scold the drama party to give themselves popularity.
What a good trick!
Hearing the person recommended by Yu Shanshan, Li Yan pursed his lips, "I have seen her drama."
Yu Shanshan was delighted, "What do you think? If it works, I can contact her now and ask her to come."
Li Yan said lightly, "It's all skills."
Yu Shanshan just thought Li Yan was praising Yao Kexin, and heard the next sentence he said, "There is no emotion. Tears flowed like that, but the eyes are not red at all."
Now, no matter how stupid Yu Shanshan is, she knows that Li Yan is mocking people.
She was a little embarrassed, and another assistant director came out to smooth things over, "Idol dramas are mainly made for fans, and maybe they didn't put in the effort to act."
Li Yan raised his eyelids, "You rely on fans to support you, so you make that kind of rubbish to please your fans?"
The man choked, laughed dryly and stopped talking.
Li Yan is famous for his sharp tongue in the circle, but his dramas are really good, so even though his mouth is easy to offend people, there are still many people willing to work with him.
The two words "Li Yan" are a guarantee of quality, as long as he directs a drama, it will be a hit.
Yu Shanshan is completely different. Her dramas pay more attention to the capital market. Whoever is popular will be cast. During the hot broadcast, she spent a lot of money on marketing, and all the money she harvested was from fans.
People are like this, after making enough money, they start to seek fame.
The dramas shot by Yu Shanshan have a maximum score of no more than five points on a well-known domestic website, and the average score is around 3.5. It can be said that even if she is shooting idol dramas, the quality of her dramas is at the bottom.
So netizens also gave her a title - the queen of bad dramas.
Yu Shanshan was eager to get rid of this label. Her husband spent a lot of money on this drama and got her a position as an assistant director.
She thought that when she arrived at the crew, others would give her some respect and she could still have such a high power in the crew as before.
Unexpectedly, she met Li Yan, who didn't give her any face at all. All her suggestions were directly rejected. Now he made her lose face in front of so many people. Yu Shanshan almost hated him to death.
She said with displeasure, "Since Director Li has made up his mind, why did he ask us to come here?"
The implication was that Li Yan was accused of being arbitrary and arbitrary.
Li Yan glanced at her, "If I don't ask you to come and watch the signing in person, how can I be sure that someone will not use their power to secretly replace my people?"
After this, everyone looked at each other, and Yu Shanshan's face changed a little, pursed her lips and said nothing.
"That's her." Li Yan paused and asked Tang Xiaoxiao, who had been worried beside him, "Are you her agent? Which company?"
Tang Xiaoxiao said, "I'm from Bona, and I'm her agent now."
"Yes?"
Qiao Ruoxing explained, "I haven't signed a contract with an agency yet."
This surprised Li Yan a little, but when he thought about the fact that she and Lao Ye were in the same industry, he understood her situation to some extent.
"Then you can find an assistant yourself. When the time comes to shoot, someone will help run errands on the set. Don't delay the shooting because of this."
Qiao Ruoxing was excited, but she remained calm on the surface and replied in a low voice, "No."
Yu Shanshan didn't want to stay here for a long time. While Qiao Ruoxing was reading the contract, she slammed the door and left.
The other people chatted with Li Yan for a while and left one after another.
Soon, only they, Li Yan and his assistant were left in the meeting room.
This contract is actually a common template in the circle, but it adds two other obligations to Party B.
One is to re-register on Weibo during the contract period and cooperate with the crew's publicity, and the other is that during the publicity period, you are not allowed to engage in other industries.
These two lines are obviously aimed at her previous career.
"Sunset and Stars" is her trump card, and this trump card should not be exposed too early.
Qiao Ruoxing has no opinion on this. Before this, she had not accepted any dubbing roles for nearly half a year.
Qiao Ruoxing was about to sign, and Tang Xiaoxiao pulled her and whispered to her, "Axing, isn't the salary a bit too low?"
The salary in the contract is based on the entire drama, 2 million before tax for one drama, and the shooting cycle is 120 days.
This role has a lot of scenes, and according to the market price, it is indeed too low.
Excluding taxes, plus the need to hire assistants, some necessary expenses in the crew, and even some expenses during publicity, I am afraid that Qiao Ruoxing will not have much money after filming this drama.
Qiao Ruoxing also lowered her voice, "Let's get on his pirate ship first, and I don't expect the salary to last a lifetime. What if this drama makes me famous, will I still worry about not getting a role in the future?"
Li Yan sipped his tea lightly. Do these two people think he is deaf?
The conference room has a sound-gathering effect, and there are only four people here. Even if the two of them lower their voices, they can still be heard.
Tang Xiaoxiao also felt that it made sense and that she should take a long-term view.
So she signed the contract quickly.
Qiao Ruoxing felt relieved and reached out to Li Yan, "Director Li, please give me more advice in the future."
Li Yan shook her hand and said lightly, "We are all on the same boat from now on, so there is no need to be so polite."
Qiao Ruoxing...
She really needs to change her bad habit of mumbling to others in front of her!
The assistant took the contract and handed her the full printed version of the script.
"It's okay to go home, but you'd better read the entire script. This role is crucial to the whole play. If you fail me, don't blame me for speaking harshly."
Qiao Ruoxing nodded.
But in her heart, she was thinking, who can speak as harshly as Gu Jingyan?
After coming out of the office building, Tang Xiaoxiao clamored to buy lottery tickets, saying that her failed dramas could come back and she also changed to a more powerful role. Her luck was simply bursting. She wanted to buy a lottery ticket to share her good luck and maybe win the first prize.
Qiao Ruoxing was also happy, so she went with her.
When the two were choosing numbers, her mobile phone rang. Qiao Ruoxing saw that it was Shen Qingchuan.
She said something to Tang Xiaoxiao and went out to answer the phone.
"Sister-in-law, where did you go so early in the morning?"
"I came out for something," Qiao Ruoxing paused, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but Gu Jingyan is. If you don't come, you may not see him again."
Even though she knew Shen Qingchuan was talking nonsense, she felt nervous and pursed her lips and said, "What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says. Gu Jingyan was beaten by those bastards last night. He is still in critical condition. The doctor said it is serious."
