Chapter 148 Selling calendars
The meeting with Wang Zhiwen was arranged at a bar in Houhai. For a big-name actor like this, salary is not a very important factor.
Teacher Wang Zhiwen won’t introduce much. You should all be familiar with it. There are quite a lot of masterpieces. Especially the movie "Enjoyment", until now, it has almost evolved into an idiom.
What Rongguang especially looks up to is the rich love history of teacher Wang Zhiwen. From Lin Fangbing, Pan Jie, Xu Fan, Xu Qing, Jiang Shan, Tian Hairong...? MMP! A goddess harvester!
The one who accompanied Wang Zhiwen today was Jiang Shan. After greeting them both, Rong Guang smiled and spoke in the Shanghainese dialect: "Brother, do me a favor, I am also the son-in-law of a Chinese drama actor, okay?"
Wang Zhiwen was amused, and he also laughed and scolded in Shanghainese dialect: "You are just talking nonsense, Nong Fa is going to do this!"
The two laughed.
Wang Zhiwen is from Modu, and Rong Guang is also from the south of the Yangtze River, and can speak the Shanghainese dialect. The same dialect immediately makes them feel less unfamiliar.
After the joke, Wang Zhiwen listened to the introduction very seriously.
"Brother Zhiwen, the road of art is a solitary one, and similar themes are actually out of date. There are also biopics of many Chinese and foreign artists. But this literary film of mine is different. The crosstalk performance should make people happy, but the tone of the whole film,
It’s just a touch of regret. All crosstalk actors’ pursuits are very vulgar, just to go to the Spring Festival Gala, become famous and make money! But that Gu Tian goes his own way, obsessed with his own artistic ideas, and often becomes neurotic..."
Jiang Shan on the side asked: "Guangzi, is that Gu Tian the kind of person who doesn't appreciate his talent?"
"No, Sister Jiang Shan." Rong Guang smiled and shook his head, "They are the most ordinary group of people in the entertainment industry. They have a certain amount of talent, but they are only a few steps away from success. No matter how hard they work, they will always fail in the end.
Out of reach."
"Then why did you find Zhiwen?" Jiang Shan continued to ask with a smile.
"Sister Jiang Shan, can you teach me, who else can I turn to?" Rong Guang spread his hands helplessly, "When it comes to production, 35 million! A big production like an art film shouldn't have such skill, right? When it comes to remuneration, I can
Throw out a blank check! But what about the performance I need? I need to be handsome, full of talent, flexible, and neurotic cute?"
Rong Guang's words caused a burst of laughter.
Wang Zhiwen also thought for a while: "Guangzi, have the other actors been decided?"
"Double protagonists. The other male protagonist is me. You can rest assured about my acting skills, right?"
"I'm very worried." Wang Zhiwen scolded with a smile, "Who in China doesn't know the bad things you did to Teacher Chang Li? What do you call acting? You're just a shameless crybaby!"
"hehe."
"Give me the script. I'll go back and take a look."
"I understand. Brother, thank you!"
"Little Guitou, help me take pictures, do you understand me?"
…
Actors in this period are still very easy to fool. Generally, as long as they agree, the agency will be a mascot. And when it comes to invitations, relationships are very important, especially if they are fellow actors.
Of course, Rong Guang already has a certain status, and he has provided top-notch resources. He also has a good reputation, has never had a bad movie, and the salary is extremely generous. Otherwise, how could Wang Zhiwen agree to star in an underground film?
Woolen cloth?
"...Qinqin, how could I forget you? I miss you day and night...There is only one role left. It is just a literary film with two male protagonists, and the female protagonist has very few scenes. Are you interested?
...I lied to you? I really wanted to lie to you. But are you an ignorant girl?...You want the heroine of "Er Lang Shen"? That has been given to the Hong Kong circle, they have 12 million investment!...Haha
, I promise, I promise to give you a leading heroine role in the future."
"...Sister Hua, you really have no role. If you don't believe me, go ask Quanquan, even her classmates won't have a chance..."
"...Brother Zheng? There is a supporting role, are you interested?...Okay, the script will be sent to you."
"..."
After the news spread, people from all walks of life came in droves, making Rong Guang anxious.
Surprisingly, the two heroines of "Sparks" have already decided on one, and the one who came to her door was actually Xu Jinglei?
"Spark" also has two female protagonists, but their scenes are quite few. One is Li Deyong's crush. But the relationship ended helplessly before it even started.
Xu Jinglei is also a female literary youth. She didn’t know where she got the script from, suddenly fell into literary youth disease, and found Rongguang to recommend herself?
Of course Rong Guang will not refuse. Wait until next year, and this person will be one of the top four beauties!
In fact, the other heroine is more important. Although she doesn't have many roles, she has a quirky performance. Rong Guang rejected all other recommendations and waited for the one he had in mind to "deliver to his door."
Nowadays, Rong Guang also has his own niche. Of course, he will not choose any ordinary people, let alone any newcomers. He has no idea. Does he help other companies make money by favoring newcomers? So he will only choose the best ones.
Okay, I won't make do with it.
Okay! Forget about that little lion. Guang Shao should be allowed to flirt with girls occasionally!
Therefore, actresses like Gao Yuanyuan are not very suitable now, and their appearance has been lowered. We will have to wait until next year's Olympics for Gao Yuanyuan to become that "clean-mouthed girl."
And newcomers who are inexplicably popular are particularly prone to scandals. MMP! You haven’t eaten the mutton, why are you going to make a fuss?
While waiting patiently, Rong Guang finally got the call: "Is it Director Rong? I'm Li Xiaowan."
"Sister Wan, you're too polite. Call me Guangzi. Haha."
"Then I'm welcome. Photon, I want to ask you, do you have two new projects here?"
"Sister Wan, you have already spoken, how can I still not understand? Bring Zhou Xun over here! The heroine of "Sparks"."
"Ah?" Li Xiaowan never expected that it would go so smoothly.
In fact, Rong Guang was also worried. If there was no call yet, he would have no choice but to take the initiative to invite him. How shameless would that be?
"What? The one selling calendars is out of date?"
"No, no. I'll bring her over right away."
"Haha, by the way, hello, Director Shaohong!"
The person who can act weird and charming must be Rong Xinda's current first sister Zhou Xun.
The signing of the contract went smoothly. It was a mutual consent and we hit it off immediately.
Even when signing the contract, Zhou Xun kept glaring at Rong Guang. In the end, she quietly pulled Rong Guang aside, like an angry cat, and asked through gritted teeth: "You asked me to sell calendars? Humph."
"Little sister, do you want to call you little fox?" Rong Guang teased Zhou Xun seriously, making Zhou Xun almost furious.
When Zhou Xun was a girl, she had taken a lot of calendar and cover photos, and was one of the most popular calendar girls at that time. It happened that she was discovered by director Xie Tieli from a calendar, and that was how Zhou Xun's first movie was made——
"The Ancient Tomb". She played the role of a charming vixen.
From then on, Zhou Xun has always hated "fox spirits". Until "Painted Skin", he once again played the role of a thousand-year-old fox spirit. There is no way, the money you gave me is too much!
Rolling his eyes at Rong Guang, Zhou Xun said angrily: "I'm older than you, little follower! Who was nodding and pretending to be a grandson back then?"
Rong Guang did get along with Rong Xinda's crew, and he did pretend to be a grandson. But he was very thick-skinned: "Have you ever heard of someone who sells calendars, a villain succeeds? Haha."
"Am I afraid of you? Little follower?"
"You don't need to be afraid! Anyway, you, the little fox, fell into my hands. Hahaha."
