Chapter 52: Shooting begins.

Finally, Brother Feng made the decision: "Okay, since everyone has no objection, let's use this script."

Zhou Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and finally his 50,000 fans were worth nothing.

"Ah, how did you think of writing a script based on this subject?" Brother Feng asked curiously.

Everyone was also very curious. How to say that this script is actually very similar to [Central Love Story]. They are both very down-to-earth urban romance films, but [Central Love Story] focuses on office romance, but the gimmick of this drama is that two fat people lose weight for love?

After clearing his throat, Zhou Xing casually said, "Hehe, I have been exercising all the time. That day, I found in the gym that many people come to exercise for weight loss. The gym also specially launched weight loss packages. At that time, I was thinking that there seemed to be more and more fat people around me, and obesity has become a trouble for many people, especially girls who would rather not eat than maintain their figure. After I came back, I started writing this script."

"Oh, so that's it."

Everyone looked like a sudden realization, and the screenwriter even took a selfie secretly. Yes, why didn't he discover such a good subject?

Only Jiang Xue was very dissatisfied: "Hey, reasoning, are you targeting me? I am fat and didn't eat a grain of rice for you."

"You didn't eat a grain of rice from me, but you blocked my phone signal." Zhou Xing replied with a smile.

“Haha~~~”

After laughing and making fun, the script was decided, so the next one would be the actor. Needless to say, the male lead was Zhou Xing.

"The female lead, why don't you ask Su Wen to act?" an assistant director suggested.

Everyone nodded. [Central Love Story] Zeng Suwen's performance was excellent, and that drama left a deep impression on many viewers. TVB had a random street interview program, including ten interviewees, and six of them believed that the image of Zhou Xing and Zeng Suwen's screen couple was perfect.

Undoubtedly, if Zhou Xing and Zeng Suwen can work together again, they will definitely attract many viewers to the theater.

"Don't think about it. Our budget is only more than three million in total. Yuwen's current pay is more than one million. With Axing's pay, how can she film the movie with the remaining amount of money?"

However, Brother Feng poured everyone a basin of cold water from head to toe.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was particularly dull.

"Is this possible? I won't take half of my pay, even if the company owes me half, and half of it is considered that I invested in this movie with the pay, and I made money, and I participated in the share of the money, and lost money. I only took half of the company owed me. If it really doesn't work, I will use my commission to deduct it." Zhou Xing suddenly asked.

Brother Feng's eyes lit up. In fact, similar methods are common in Hollywood. After all, many big-name stars in Hollywood are paid at sky-high prices. In order to ensure that they have enough funds to shoot, generally producers will use this model to operate.

This will protect the interests of both the actors and the crew and stimulate the potential of the actors. After all, the box office will be sold well, and the actors can participate in the sharing of their share. Once the movie loses, their part of the pay will be wasted.

Of course, this model is not the mainstream in Chinese movies. Actors usually use money to film. As for whether the movie is selling well at the box office, they don’t care much. Anyway, they have already obtained their own money.

Anli glared at Zhou Xing fiercely. This model is naturally a good thing for the company. However, the risks that Zhou Xing needs to take are too great. She is Zhou Xing's agent first and then the company's shareholder. This is the minimum professional ethics.

Naturally, everyone had no objection, and they praised Zhou Xing's "loyal" behavior.

Even if the script and the starring actor were decided, the next thing was some very trivial preliminary preparations, so Zhou Xing did not participate.

Zeng Suwen called by Brother Feng himself. This guy was also very generous and agreed. He heard that the crew was short of money and even took the initiative to reduce the pay.

On the other hand, three assistants from the mainland signboard also began to intern with her, and were so busy that they had no relevant work experience. From arranging the itinerary to how to deal with the media, to business negotiations, she had to teach her step by step.

Fortunately, the three little girls are very diligent and serious in doing things. They are always improving day by day. According to Anli's estimate, after three months of training, they can be arranged to return to the mainland to set up the studio shelves.

Brother Feng is quite efficient in his work, and a press conference was held twenty days later.

Zhou Xing and Zeng Suwen joined forces again, and it is undoubtedly very attractive to play a screen couple. There are dozens of media outlets who came to the scene.

Of course, the one who was asked the most was the relationship between Zhou Xing and Zeng Suwen.

In fact, the audience is sometimes quite interesting. Once they think that a man and a woman in a play are very co-starring, they will place all their yearning for love on them, hoping that they can get married immediately and then live a prince-princess-like life from now on.

In response, Zeng Suwen and Zhou Xing just smiled at each other and kept silent in a tacit understanding. Their relationship is a bit similar to that of a buddy. Zeng Suwen himself is also very generous, and Zhou Xing really doesn't regard her as a girl.

However, in the eyes of reporters, their reaction is to "renew the relationship". As for whether there is really a situation, it doesn't matter to them. Anyway, the audience just likes to watch it.

There was basically not much about the entire opening press conference about [slimming men and women], and it was all about the gossip between Zhou Xing and Zeng Suwen. Brother Feng saw that the time was almost done, so he quickly asked the staff to clear the scene, which allowed Zhou Xing and the others to get rid of the reporter's long spears and short cannons.

What’s more interesting is makeup. Among [Slimming Men and Women], Zhou Xing and Zeng Suwen play two fat men with 300 pounds. They definitely can’t do it based on their own conditions. It’s okay to say that they can fill it with sponges. What should I do on my face?

The stylist also has a way to stick it on with silicone, but this is a fine job. It takes nearly three hours to make the whole look.

"Haha~~~ You're so funny."

"You're so embarrassed to say to me? Look at yourself."

Zhou Xing and Zeng Suwen couldn't help laughing wildly when they saw each other. It was so funny, especially Zeng Suwen, who had a fat girl wearing makeup and had a double chin, and almost couldn't recognize her.

"Oh, my ancestors, stop laughing. If you make a comeback after a while, it will be troublesome." The stylist quickly separated them.

However, Zhou Xing and Zeng Suwen couldn't help laughing at each other.

However, when the shooting scene arrived, the two of them were all depressed.

Because everyone was watching them laugh wildly, even Brother Feng, who had always had a stern face, couldn't help laughing.

"Ahem, stop laughing. Do you still want to get off work? Start work quickly."
