Chapter 406 Angel Baby

The following days flew by in focused busyness.

An Xiaofang helped find a first-year graduate student from the directing department who was good at drawing and had a solid foundation. He followed Wang Yan every day and helped draw the storyboard.

Wang Muye’s painting skills are average, but he has many ideas, which is a very good supplement.

Young Master Wang simply asked Wang Muye and Yan Xiaoyu to live in the Xiangji Presidential Suite and concentrate on polishing the script.

I go to see Fu Yushi once a day, watch her live performances, study expression techniques, and describe the style of the mirror language system.

Then I came back and continued to draw the storyboards and edit the script.

To be sure, no other crew works in this way.

In the past, the text creation period, director processing period, actor preparation period, crew preparation period, and official shooting period were basically distinct.

Occasionally, different working periods overlap due to some special circumstances, but no one prepares a movie like Wang Yan.

The young man is not short of money, but he is willful and insists on using money to make a good movie.

As a result, Fu Yushi grew up rapidly, and the new actor's discomfort with the camera quickly faded away on her.

There are still many problems in performance, but Wang Yan does not need her to become a movie queen-level actor immediately. She only needs her to perform the film well in a targeted manner.

She had too much time to slowly polish off one shot after another.

Soon, she achieved the minimum required by Wang Yan.

But the young master still felt unsatisfied and hoped that she could show more spirituality.

There are still three months left before the filming starts, so there is absolutely no time. Wang Dashao is looking forward to her final answer.

The script and storyboards have progressed even further.

Wang Yan has seen the finished film, led and coordinated the entire process.

Wang Muye's talent is astonishing, he can find and fill in gaps and do subtraction.

Yan Xiaoyu has good aesthetics and is good at composition. She can perfectly get the needs of the two people when drawing.

Two geniuses + one lubricant, perfect harmony.

By the time An Xiaofang had another meeting with the director team, the shooting scene and venue had been confirmed.

The early exterior scenes were set on the border of Yunnan.

Everyone's common idea is that we should try our best to obscure the nationality of the villain organization.

Simply set up as a large multinational organization.

The BOSS in the first part is the chief scientist of the organization's branch. He speaks Chinese, but his base is located in a neighboring country.

Everyone knows the reason.

The draft competition will be filmed in Star City, and the Mango Terrace Building will be used as the location.

For scenes such as the interior of the base, just find a studio that is large enough. It is quite simple to set up.

When everything was ready, An Xiaofang started looking for actors.

There's not much to say about the starring role of Fu Yushi and the silly and cute best friend Reina Wu who plays a relatively important role in the early stage.

A female scientist needs a seasoned dramatist, preferably someone with a bit of a femme fatale.

An Xiaofang, China Film Digital, and Yida Pictures all made recommendations, and the industry also took notice.

Regardless of the production cost, a total investment of 100 million is not a small number. The Secret doesn't like the female villain, but that doesn't mean others don't.

Strictly speaking, the female scientist can be regarded as one of the female protagonists. She was very brilliant in her performance, and the second part is still bouncing around.

However, this choice gave Wang Yan a headache.

There is a saying that the protagonist’s character is only supported by the villain.

The more powerful the villain's aura, the more awesome the heroine can be.

Otherwise, what's the point of novices pecking each other?

Brother Xiao Ming and Mr. An met at a dinner party a few days ago and expressed that they wanted to make friends with Wang Yan, and then asked about the villain heroine.

When An Xiaofang came back and said it, she almost scared Mr. Wang to the point of peeing.

If you let Da Baobao play the female lead villain, what will the final look be like? !

An evil and savage smile? !

Fortunately, people just asked and didn't take it seriously.

After some serious discussion, everyone finally reached a consensus - Zeng Li, Wang Haiou, and Zhang Yuqi are all suitable.

In fact, there are more good choices for actresses from the Mesozoic generation and those born in the 1970s.

The pay is cheaper, the acting is better, and he can hold his own.

There is really no need to choose a female villain who is still in her prime. Not to mention it is expensive, and there may be additional troubles during filming.

However, Mr. Wang has a deeper plan.

A major goal of the new version of the Witch is to win Xiao Gongju.

It's not a problem for the female villain to be beautiful, it's a problem that she's not beautiful.

How can you get to the top if you don't step on the troubles of beauty?

In terms of appearance, who can we, our young man, be afraid of with a score of 96? !

Well, Yaya and Zhazha definitely can’t do it, they might be self-defeating...

In short, it's all a calculation, but whether they are willing to accept it or not is still a big deal for the time being.

If it goes as expected, there will be three beauties with different styles in the whole film. Their appearance will be enough to attract speculation for a while, which will definitely be good for the box office.

And the young man’s pursuit of good looks has not stopped.

For an action movie that focuses on cool guys, if it doesn’t hire handsome guys and beauties, it’s just a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates, who would be disgusting?

Fast and Furious 7 is the worst vegetarian series in my opinion. Gal Gadot's long legs were so good, but they suddenly disappeared in 7. Bad review!

So when it comes to Wang Yan's own filming, he is determined not to do anything ZZZQ, but to focus on his good looks.

Base security captain, Wang Yan prefers Zhang Jin, a thug in a suit.

He can fight, has aura, and has a masculine look. When he finally appeared, he was chewing gum, wearing a neat suit, and he shot with just raising his hand...

Give benefits to female viewers hehe!

A super-powerful quartet of villains, don't worry about the two who are sour, that's pretty much it.

A man and a woman are two great matches. Firstly, they should be good-looking, and secondly, they should have traffic.

Young Master Wang has not forgotten his plan to divert people, so it is best for the second male lead to hire someone from the top.

The production cost is more than 20 million, and the majority of the actors' salary is basically spent on this position.

However, it’s not easy to invite top-notch people.

There are only two top celebrities with matching temperaments, one is Big Bowl Noodles and the other is Tiaobi Tao.

An Xiaofang went to ask for a quote. She was just a supporting character with a small role. The management team of the former asked for 5,000, while the latter was more reliable, 1,500.

Please make up your own mind.

An Xiaofang was so angry that she didn't care that Fu Yushi was right next to Wang Yan, being blunt and rude.

"The most you can earn from filming "Old Bastard" is 5 million. Who doesn't know that? I am a Bangchui who just entered the industry today?! I see how you lost that Zhang Bilian when it was released..."

An Xiaofang was a little angry during the inquiry. With her status, this kind of situation was rare.

Wang Yan was stunned: "What's going on? The price difference is so big that you don't even give it to Mr. An?"

"They didn't like the script and the characters, let alone Wang Ting Entertainment as the main investor. They are playing hawks with us here!"

An Xiaofang sneered again and again, with an ugly expression.

"As for me, I spend more time in the Hong Kong and Shanghai circles, and I don't have as much exposure as the Beijing circles."

Young Master Wang quickly realized that Dawann Noodles’ management team was not easy to deal with.

The other party is too popular. In the past two years, it has been the most prosperous time. It only needs to give face to a few people.

Just because Guan Hu + Xiaogangpao can take care of others doesn't mean that An Xiaofang + Young Master Wang can do the same.

That outrageous offer was obviously a polite rejection.

An Xiaofang continued: "What I'm most angry about is not the quotation, but that guy didn't read the script at all. He just chatted for a few words and talked nonsense. It's definitely because the management team just glanced at the script and passed it because they thought our project wasn't high enough."

Wang Yan was in a good mood and comforted him with gentle words.

"That's because they are unlucky. I have absolute confidence in the Witch. Although the second male lead doesn't have many roles, his performance is particularly brilliant. If he doesn't play, we'll find someone else."

An Xiaofang glanced at Fu Yushi and smiled meaningfully.

Then he turned back and complained to Wang Yan: "Young Master Wang, don't think everyone is stupid. Obviously, people are not willing to carry the sedan chair for the heroine. It's normal. This kind of traffic is not that easy to borrow..."

Wang Yan was neither surprised nor embarrassed when his plan was seen through, and he shrugged indifferently.

“I don’t intend to give it a try, it’s all mutually beneficial.

Can the audience remember how many characters are established in the film industry in a year?

The black man Bo Bo played in Crazy Stone back then had a small role and a small salary, right?

If it could be remade, it would be a head-turner.

How can there be any good thing about making money and becoming famous in the industry, just taking advantage and not having to pay anything?

Anyway, I firmly believe that this is a good opportunity, and whoever misses it will regret it. "

"As long as you have confidence."

An Xiaofang nodded and refreshed.

"Then come on! Work hard to film The Witch well. When it is released and becomes a big hit, I will pay for it and we will have a huge celebration party! I will say hello to them in person!"

Women are so petty...

Terrible!

But that's exactly what Wang Yan wants to do——

Success, continue to succeed, keep winning, and make those who missed it regret it.

"Can the price at Zitao's place be lowered?" the young master asked casually.

"Have the opportunity."

An Xiaofang nodded: "I'll try again, there's still enough time."

Although Taotao's price quote in the room was not that ridiculous, it was still unbalanced.

The female lead only gets a few hundred thousand, the second female lead, the third female lead plus the first male lead can get up to 4 million, and the second male lead gets 1,500. Isn’t that nonsense?

After filming starts, people ask for corresponding treatment, how do you give it?

Anyway, the total remuneration must be controlled below 10 million, otherwise the series will not match the position.

"If it doesn't work, I can only change the role. Let's pick two more alternatives."

"What's your plan?"

"How can everything go as planned..."

Wang Yan burst into laughter: "As long as the film is good enough and lacks a bit of hype, it won't be a big problem. Wang Muye's level is pretty good, and I'm becoming more and more optimistic about the quality of the finished film. It's no less than a top-notch one."

Now that An Xiaofang knows what's going on, her negotiation strategy will be more calm.

"Okay, I'll handle it. If I don't cut the offer by more than half, I'd be derelict in my duty."

In the entertainment industry, the quotes offered by top players are huge and the market is in chaos.

When he didn't plan to make a movie, Wang Yan felt like a dream when he looked at the salary that could easily reach hundreds of millions.

Now that I have been hanging out with An Xiaofang for a long time, I already know roughly what is going on and no longer take it seriously.

Take "Old Buddy", which is about to be released soon, as an example——

The market price of a large bowl of noodles is 120 million, Fengfeng quoted 80 million, plus the salary of Xiaogang Pao and Guan Hu, as well as a group of actors, the price is at least 20 million.

The total cost is only 60 million!

The big screen is different from TV dramas that are becoming more and more fake and reality shows that are becoming more and more sophisticated. To be on the big screen, the salary for The Secret is only 3 million, which is less than one-tenth of the cost of filming a season of reality shows.

Make a movie to become a celebrity, make a TV series to become famous, make a reality show to grab money, and get endorsements to make a living.

This is how everyone in the entertainment industry works.

So if An Xiaofang has good means, it is really possible to spend millions to hire a top-notch person.

When An Xiaofang retreated, Fu Yushi put down her knife and fork and asked with a hint of worry: "Wang Wang, do you really want to ask Zitao to act with me?"

"Hmm. Why, don't you like it?"

Wang Yan teased her with a wicked smile.

Fu Yushi glanced at her angrily: "Am I qualified to look down on others?"

"Work hard and you will get there sooner or later. I have confidence in you."

Fu Yushi was very moved, but the pressure was even greater.

Young Master Wang is still so relaxed: "Don't just look at the coffee position, you should think like this - among the four people who came back from abroad, you are the worst, so why are you awesome?!"

Fu Yushi laughed out loud: "What's wrong with me? I'm a little worse than my teammates in the same team, but aren't I dozens of times better than me?"

"Where is your strength? The director, screenwriter and producer are your brothers, how dare you argue with me?"

"Bah! Liuli is half a year younger than me, so stop trying to get in touch with your relatives."

Xiao Gongju keenly caught Wang Yan's behavior of taking advantage and corrected it decisively.

Mr. Wang, who was never one to take advantage of his words, held his chin in his hands and said thoughtfully: "I seem to understand... Just now you were implying that my pay was too low, right?"

Fu Yushi's face turned red: "How can I?!"

"You're 500,000, and he's 1,500. Isn't that just a few dozen times? Otherwise, can it be raised to a round number for you?"

"I'm too lazy to care about you."

Fu Yushi calmed down quickly and realized that Wang Yan was making nonsense and reasoning, so she immediately stopped the conversation.

I can't resist but I can't resist, what are you talking about?

Smart kids are never stubborn.

Then she thought about the script carefully and felt that the male lead was impeccable.

Although Tao Tao is the least developed among the four returned children in the house, he happens to be the most in tune with the witch.

It doesn't matter how good his acting skills are, as long as he shows his face, he will naturally have the aura of a naughty, arrogant, and extremely needy kid.

After a crazy meal, the audience must be very relieved.

Thinking of this, Fu Yushi suddenly had a whim.

"Hey, woof woof, when you were writing the script, did you write the villain according to Zitao's temperament?"

Mr. Wang shook his head: "That's not true, but I realized very early that he was suitable for playing the role of a naughty kid..."

"Ah?" Fu Yushi's eyes widened.

"It must have been when I was a freshman in high school. The first time I saw his photo on the desk of a female classmate, I was thinking: Who is this? Why does he look so good?"

"Pfft!"

Fu Yushi was so happy that she almost squirted. Wang Yan glanced at her and continued in a serious manner.

"It wasn't until I saw Fanfan that I suddenly realized: Tao Tao is actually pretty good, but the guy next to him deserves a beating..."

The young man smiled and did the splits.

In fact, Wang Yan was telling the truth.

The four returned boys have been extremely unpopular with boys for a long time, especially when the girl they like likes them.

The poster Wang Yan saw appeared on He Meng's desk.

It's been a long time since things happened, and Wang Yan has become a top young man, and the resentment he once had has turned into a warm mark of growth that he recalls.

But that feeling can still lead to a conclusion - let Tao Tao play a villain who gets beaten, and the men will be very happy to see it.

Female viewers are not the audience for action movies in the first place, they love to be satisfied and dissatisfied.

Moreover, other people's fans will still watch it and make money with blood.

This is how traffic is used. What kind of soldier do you want traffic to play?

It would be weird not to compensate!

Well, when the time comes, two versions of the trailer will be cut. One version will make Tao Tao look ridiculously handsome in the room and attract female fans. The other version will make his face bruised and swollen to attract male viewers...

Thinking of this, Mr. Wang couldn't help but chuckle.

Director Wang, Director Wang, you are so coquettish!

…

Wang Wang was full of motivation and continued to work hard, sleeping only 4 hours a day, until December 20th. With Christmas just around the corner, he finally polished the text version of the script to everyone's satisfaction.

The split-shot script can be drawn slowly, and the rest is to add inspiration at any time during the shooting process.

Everything is going well at work, but I am a little worried about money.

It was almost the end of the month and I still hadn't saved enough money. I stared at the water purifier and couldn't afford it.

Now there is only 30 million in cash after full payment, and the shortfall is as high as 20 million.

Where can I get this money?

He was hesitating whether to give in to He Miaomiao, call him "Your Royal Highness", cheat some money first, and then become a father later, but Chu Hong rescued him.

"Master Wang, there are several friends and businessmen who want to issue you cards. It's not a cooperation between banks, but a personal relationship with me. If you have time, come to Shanghai to help me save face?"

Chu Xing, you are my little angel baby!

Wang Yan was overjoyed and immediately returned to the Demon City.
