Chapter 1056 Manslaughter (2)
"Protagonist?!" Xiao Yang was shocked, "I'm just here to audition for a supporting role. I never thought I could play the leading role, and my level doesn't seem to be high enough."
"An actor who doesn't want to play the protagonist is not a good singer." Luo Quan joked, "Although the actor's level is important, it also depends on the fit with the role. If the fit is high, it doesn't matter if the level is lower."
"Thank you, Director Luo, for thinking so highly of me." Xiao Yang smiled flattered, "But I have never played a leading actor before..."
"You don't need to worry about this. All you have to do now is study the script and figure out the character's psychology."
Luo Quan said and sent the script and the electronic file of the salary contract: "Please take a look at the contract. If you are not satisfied with the salary, you can discuss it. If you are not satisfied, just print it out and sign it."
The maximum film salary for third-level actors is limited to 10 million yuan, excluding box office share.
However, the traffic and acting skills of third-level actors are also different, so very few can reach a salary of 10 million, generally around 5 million.
The salary Luo Quan paid Xiao Yang was 8.2 million, which was a pretty good price.
"It is said that Director Luo's crew is one of the best in the country, and it is indeed well-deserved." Xiao Yang couldn't help but smile after seeing the pay.
He originally expected a salary of 6 million, but he didn't expect Luo Quan to be so generous. No wonder the extras in Hengdian would reflexively give a thumbs up when Luo Quan was mentioned.
So the question is, with such a generous shot, how can the crew control the filming costs?
If Luo Quan knew Xiao Yang's inner doubts, he would definitely smile proudly and say: "The secret to controlling costs is of course to refuse fresh meat from traffic."
In these current dramas, the salary of one streamer is sometimes more than all the actors in other dramas put together. Sometimes a romantic idol drama is made with three or four streams, and the cost can still be controlled at a fraction of a cent.
Therefore, thrift and recycling are all in vain. If you want to reduce costs, the best way is to refuse traffic.
"By the way, Director Luo, you said on Weibo before that the male protagonist has a surprise. What is this surprise?" Xiao Yang asked about it curiously after receiving the script document.
"The surprise is that after this movie is finished, there will be another movie waiting for you. If you are interested, you can continue filming."
Luo Quan's answer made Xiao Yang beam with joy: "Then I'm very interested, but I have to put all my energy into the script at hand first, and then I can finish filming the second part."
"What we need is this awareness. Anyway, keep going. See you in Hengdian in three days." Luo Quan nodded and ended the call.
Xiao Yang looked at the computer desktop and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Finally, he raised his fists in the air and let out an excited cheer.
This time, he might really soar into the sky!
After celebrating, Xiao Yang quickly slapped himself twice, quickly calmed down, and then opened the script sent by Director Luo with slightly trembling fingers. The name of the script was "Manslaughter".
——————————
"The male lead has been found. Now we still need two boys, one girl, two girls, and three girls. If you are interested, please sign up. If you are late, you will be gone."
Luo Quan quickly updated the progress of the casting on Weibo. Finding the leading actor so quickly was beyond the expectations of netizens:
"You were saying just now that no one was looking for you, and it was resolved in less than twenty minutes?"
"Don't just pick a little piece of meat at random. Luo Bao, you have to control the quality of the movie. It's better to have less than too much!"
"Has Luo Bao ever made a bad movie? I think he must have met the right actor."
"Looking forward to it. By the way, what type is the first movie?"
………………
It is Luo Quan's traditional virtue to spoil some irrelevant content to fans, so she quickly replied below: "This is a crime and suspense movie that takes place in a foreign country where everyone speaks Chinese."
As soon as they heard this description, fans couldn't hold back:
"Haha, this speech is really full of desire for survival."
"There's no such thing as a quiet time, but it just failed to pass the review."
"Domestic crime movies are indeed a bit uninteresting, because the bad guy must suffer a just trial, and there is no ending of impunity."
"So there will never be a TV series like Breaking Bad. Let alone a TV series of the same type being released in China, if you want to film it, you have to be invited to have a cup of tea first."
"That's not that exaggerated. Let me tell you the good news. Station B introduced a large number of high-scoring American dramas yesterday, including "Breaking Bad."
"Holy shit!!!!"
"This can pass the trial, my Bilibili is amazing."
"It's better to say Luo Quan is awesome. If it weren't for her, Station B wouldn't have had so many changes."
"Indeed, the user experience of Bilibili is improving every day."
"I don't know anything else. Anyway, I bought the stock on the day Luobao took over Station B, and it has more than doubled now."
"Is it too late to buy now?"
"Luo Quan, aren't these two words enough to make you trust me?"
"all!"
………………
Originally the topic was quite normal, but there were too many netizens and it got distorted as we chatted.
Speaking of which, Bilibili's recent stock price is indeed like riding a rocket. Compared with the lowest point, it has more than doubled.
However, in the past few days, Internet companies across China have been skyrocketing. Many financial media people have said that this is an Internet bull market, and everyone is urged to buy quickly.
Although I don’t know what the reason is, according to the market trend, Internet companies should usher in a period of rising stock prices.
This means that even if Cheng Rui does not sell station B to Luo Quan, the stock of station B will still recover.
Once more people follow the trend and buy, the urgent need caused by the shortage of cash flow will naturally disappear.
If he waits patiently for a while, all problems will be solved.
No one knows how Cheng Rui feels now, regret, relief, joy?
Maybe, but for him, one piece of good news is certain, that is, Station B, which he founded by himself, is finally showing signs of coming back to life.
Although he has no credit for this.
Putting aside Friend B's ridicule and banter towards Cheng Rui, Luo Quan's large purchase plan is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
The objects of purchase are of course excellent and popular overseas movies and TV series. The public will buy whatever they like.
Of course, review and cost-effectiveness also need to be considered.
Although Director He promised to relax the review, he does not allow himself to do whatever he wants. If the scale is too large, he will still be reported and removed from the shelves.
The good news is that Station B now has a youth mode. In this mode, you cannot see any content inappropriate for children.
Even if some parents report or condemn the content in the future because of the large-scale content, she can still use this model to speak out.
The software has a youth mode, and each account needs to be real-name. The platform has already taken all the measures that need to be taken.
If such a situation occurs, it can only be attributed to the parents' lack of supervision. Our platform will not take the blame.
However, the specific situation still needs to be analyzed in detail. If parents of giant babies really report it, there will still be trouble at that time.
Moreover, the malicious competition from peers cannot be ignored. However, Station B has just got on the right track and has not encountered these disgusting things yet, but she cannot be careless because of this.
Therefore, even though Director He said that the review can be relaxed, most of the dramas are still "strictly deleted" before they dare to be put on Bilibili.
Although it is not authentic, at least it will not make mistakes.
Perhaps because his desire for career surpassed his fear of industry bosses, Luo Quan's mailbox soon received a large number of job applications, and the quality of actors also became higher.
Luo Quan carefully selected for half an hour, and the actors for all the main roles were basically confirmed.
The rest is just a matter of going to Hengdian to find a group of high-quality extras with actor certificates. The most important thing about this movie is the acting skills of the actors, and the requirements for props and scenery are not very high.
In a drama movie, people, lines, and performances are the highlights.
At night, Ye Zhining sat on Luo Quan's bedside and looked at her seriously: "Beloved, I am going back to Huanyu.
After being out for so long, memorials have already piled up, and there are a lot of government affairs waiting for me to deal with. "
"Then go back quickly!" Luo Quan patted the bed and almost laughed, "The Holy Tang Dynasty can't survive without you, and the trillions of Dawn people can't survive without you!"
"My dear concubine, you seem to be very happy?" Ye Zhining raised her eyebrows, "Are you eager for me to go back as soon as possible?"
"Of course I'm happy."
Luo Quan saw that he seemed a little too excited and quickly put his arms around Ye Zhining's shoulders: "The reason why I am happy is that since His Majesty has decided to go back, it means that reason has defeated emotion. This is what a wise and virtuous monarch should have. Performance.
Your Majesty, tell me, shouldn’t I be happy? "
"That seems to be the case." Ye Zhining nodded slightly, "But I always feel that my beloved concubine has other thoughts."
"How is it possible? I can just blame it on my conscience!" Luo Quan raised his finger and vowed.
"What you said doesn't count. I want to test it with my own hands." Ye Zhining smiled and gestured to catch it.
Luo Quan was unafraid and looked like he had a clear conscience.
If a boy made such a joke, he would definitely be beaten by Luo Quan.
It's just a girl, so it doesn't matter, she doesn't suffer anyway.
In order to prove that she was telling the truth, she had no intention of hiding.
Ye Zhining was a little surprised when she saw Luo Quan being so open-minded.
I don't know what I was thinking in the end, so I put down my hand: "Haha, since my concubine has sworn, then I believe it.
But I’m ready to leave now, don’t you think my beloved concubine will give it to me? "
"What for?" Luo Quan was surprised.
I originally thought that Ye Zhining suddenly turned into a gentleman and gave up a good opportunity to take advantage of others, but I didn't expect that she wanted more.
"Give me a parting gift. You can't let me go back empty-handed, right?" Ye Zhining stretched out her hand as if it was a matter of course.
"This." Luo Quan breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Ye Zhining was asking for something else.
"But let me think about what is more appropriate to give to Your Majesty. It must be valuable and meaningful." Luo Quan rubbed his chin and said softly.
"Then it's not that troublesome. Just any gift will do, even a lock of your concubine's hair."
Ye Zhining picked up a strand of Luo Quan's golden hair with her fingers, wrapped it around her hand, and said with a smile: "My beloved concubine may not know how popular your golden hair is in the world. It is rare. It is said that only the lucky ones favored by the gods can have such pure and bright hair.
In the past, even a single hair was considered a treasure. "
"It's not a good habit to treat human hair as treasure." Luo Quan heard Ye Zhining's words and thought of what happened to the Native Americans.
Even though she said this, she still pulled up a strand of hair and then chopped it off with a knife.
With her hand speed, she can cut even a wooden board straight, let alone a hair.
"No, I'll give you this one. If you still want it, I'll cut it after it grows out."
Luo Quan handed over the hair in his hand: "But this is the gift His Majesty asked for. The gift I want to give is much more meaningful than the hair."
"Oh, what are you concubine planning to give me?" Ye Zhining put Luo Quan's blond hair into the storage ring and asked happily.
"A song." Luo Quan laughed.
In fact, after thinking for a long time, it didn't know what to give Ye Zhining better.
Although she likes gold, silver jewelry, diamond necklaces, etc., for an emperor, these things are probably piled up like a mountain.
After much deliberation, she finally felt that music was the most suitable.
However, the type of music she wants to send is not a farewell song. After all, Ye Zhining is just going back to deal with government affairs. She can come back anytime she wants.
She wanted to give Ye Zhining a piece of music with an imperial air.
After making the decision, Luo Quan took out a staff sheet from the drawer.
She had written this song a long time ago, and it was also prepared for the Art Olympics.
But Ye Zhining is an alien anyway, so giving it to her will not affect her game on Earth.
"It turns out that my beloved concubine has been ready for a long time." Ye Zhining took the staff in surprise and smiled like a child.
Luo Quan also laughed, but felt a little guilty.
It seems that she was misunderstood by Empress Ye, but there is no need to explain this situation clearly, just treat it as a beautiful misunderstanding.
"King Qin... the joy of breaking the array."
Ye Zhining slowly read out the name of the song, her eyes flashing: "What a domineering name. Is this King of Qin... Qin Shihuang?"
Ye Zhining, who had read Chinese history books, subconsciously thought that this King of Qin was the most famous emperor in history.
"no."
Luo Quan shook his head and explained: "This King of Qin is Li Shimin. Before he became the emperor, his title was King of Qin.
This is an achievement no less than that of Qin Shihuang and the emperor. He personally created the most powerful and prosperous dynasty in Chinese history, the prosperous Tang Dynasty. "
"The prosperous Tang Dynasty..." Ye Zhining suddenly smiled, "That must be a beautiful and powerful country."
