Chapter 181 Let Me Tell You a Secret, Don’t Tell Anyone Else

While several big shots were discussing the direction of the entire movie in an air-conditioned room with a great view, other people on the set were not idle either.

At this time, two men and a woman, who looked a little unable to fit into the circle, were leaning against the wall and talking.

"You must seize this opportunity, you know?" Qi Zhang, the manager of Hongyao Company who shamelessly came with him, said to his actress with a cold face, "No matter what role is assigned to you, you must take it seriously. play!"

In order to get a chance to star in a movie, Qi Zhang traveled out of town, invited him to dinner, and applied for a sky-high fitness card. The total cost was close to 200,000.

He just received a notice that the role he got was the "ex-girlfriend of the male protagonist", and the salary was 240,000. Whether it was the casting or the pay, it gave him a big surprise!

Originally, Qi Zhang had no intention of recouping his original investment. He just wanted to borrow Director An's talent to gild his own actors and pave the way for future dramas.

Anyone with a discerning eye in the industry can see that An Zhou, who has continued to accumulate experience and has produced the web series "The Dragon Son Who Protects the Country", is very likely to make another hit movie.

Qi Zhang has not caught up with the popularity of "The Dragon Son Who Protects the Country". Currently, this movie, which has not even been released, is definitely not something he can miss.

Once Anzhou's name is fully established and all of Kuaiguang Group's own actors become famous, it will not be that simple to use money to smoothen relationships.

Think about it, in the work of great director Anzhou Zhengdao, the role played by one of the own actors is the ex-girlfriend of the male protagonist. Although it sounds like she is not one of the protagonists, she is definitely an important supporting role, which is enough to scare people.

With this level of status, it may be easier to take on roles in the future, and the money spent for this can be earned back later.

Of course, all of this must be based on the premise that the actor has a certain level.

After all, this is not an ordinary project for an ordinary company, where employees can fish...

It is easy to tell whether an actor's performance is good or not, and whether his contribution is great or not.

Therefore, Qi Zhang repeatedly urged his actors to perform well.

But who knew that this crew was so generous? They were willing to give a minor role a salary of 240,000 yuan. Not only did they not lose money, they actually made a small profit of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Qi Zhang didn't know that Yang Ruoqian only gave 240,000, not because he only wanted to give 240,000, but because this was the upper limit of the system.

It is impossible to offer a higher salary for a role that can be played by just picking someone up from the street - if it weren't for the fact that someone else got a 120,000 yuan fitness card, the 240,000 yuan salary would probably have been stolen by the system. Determined to be a violation.

"Brother Qi, don't worry!" Seeing that the studio was already urging, the pretty actress said confidently, and then walked towards the filming location.

Watching his actors walking towards the studio covered with green screens, Qi Zhang was worried, but at the same time sighed that the people in Kuaiguang Group were really honest and would really do things as long as they paid them.

Originally, after being rejected by An Zhou and wearing big pants to meet with the leaders of the Kuangguang Group, he had given up all hope and was ready to return without success.

Who knew that things would work out in the end and reap so many benefits.

Should I give Lin Cao a little kickback...

Suddenly, a message popped up at the top of the screen of Qi Zhang's mobile phone. The person who sent the message was a colleague of Qi Zhang who had a fairly good relationship with him in the company.

"How's it going? Have you settled the matter over there? I told you, Anzhou will take off immediately. It's difficult to use money to smoothen this relationship."

Qi Zhang proudly recorded a video at the venue and sent it to his colleagues along with a voice message: "An Zhou didn't get it done, but I know an inside tip. I spent tens of thousands of yuan to treat Director An to dinner." It’s easy to find out, do you want to hear it?”

Inviting An Zhou to dinner was completely nonsense. In the end, the three AA paid for the meal and wine, and An Zhou didn't take advantage of Qi Zhang's half a dime.

But this little episode does not stop Qi Zhang and his colleagues from bragging.

The colleague was completely rude: "Hurry up, I still have work here, don't talk nonsense."

The relationship between the two is that they can borrow money from each other, so it's not that unfamiliar.

If there is first-hand information, they will naturally communicate with each other.

Qi Zhang said mysteriously: "Let me tell you, although the relationship with Director An is not easy to clear up, the Kuaiguang Group has a very strong relationship with him. As long as you clear up the relationship between Kuai Guang, Director An's affairs will be resolved Even if it’s half solved.”

Although the role he got was uncertain, at least he had a role and the pay was not low.

A minute later, a colleague sent a message: "Don't be so secretive!"

Qi Zhang glanced at the actors who had already changed into costumes, and then furtively looked around. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he quietly sent a voice message: "Apply for a card, Kuai Guang Group has a hidden swimming pool project, please do The card price is 126,000, do you understand what I mean?"

"Apply for a card?"

"Yes, it's just about applying for a card... I can't talk about many things. It involves confidentiality. In short, you can just make your own guesses. Don't tell others!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Zhang saw his own actors coming from the studio, their faces full of confusion and confusion.

Qi Zhang, who was originally content with showing off in front of his colleagues, suddenly lost his mind.

Why did you come out of the studio now?

It’s only been less than ten minutes since we entered!

Qi Zhang's heart sank. Could it be that he was kicked out by the director because of his poor performance? !

He walked up quickly and asked nervously: "What's wrong with you? Did you offend the director?"

It would be difficult to offend An Zhou.

"No, no..." the actress was still confused, "The director said I did a good job and can leave."

"What does it mean that the filming is very good and you can go?" Qi Zhang was also confused, "Is this the end of your scene today?"

As the protagonist's ex-girlfriend, there are so few scenes on the first day. Can it be over in a few minutes?

For the sake of confidentiality, none of the actors will get the entire script at once, and because the beginning of the plot was just changed, neither Qi Zhang nor Qi Zhang saw the latest version of the script.

The actress shook her head, the confusion in her eyes not fading at all: "Not today, but everything. The director said that all my scenes have ended, and I can get paid to finish the film."

However, she only filmed a total of ten seconds of the plot...

The entire movie probably lasts less than three minutes, right?

She was directly smashed into pieces by the villain "Sprinter", and then the film was completed?

Qi Zhang was even more confused: "What the hell? Are all the scenes gone?!"

When an actress enters the studio, she doesn't start filming immediately. She has to read the script and wait for other actors' clips. Some clips may even have to be reshot... The scenes that can actually be completed are less than two minutes at most.

For a scene of less than two minutes, you can get a salary of 240,000.

For a small bit player, the pay is calculated by the second?

No, Qi Zhang spent so much effort just to gild his own actors, and use the high exposure of the movie to make everyone pay attention to this bit player.

But the role is only so small, and there is an actor named Qi Zhang in the cast list, but it doesn't have any gilding effect at all!

Other companies are not fools. You can still tell if this actor has some real skills.

But how can such a small number of scenes reflect an actor's ability?

A salary of 240,000 yuan is a small thing, and the small profit of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan is also a small thing. Qi Zhang may not even make this money...but for this role, the more the better.

Otherwise, if the company, the actors, and the agents split this dry twenty- to thirty-thousand yuan, it will have no stamina at all and it won’t make much sense!

Qi Zhang couldn't understand it at all and couldn't accept it. He wanted to have a good argument with the director. It was easy to talk about the remuneration, but could the role be slightly more?

But he just took two steps forward when the security guard from the studio came over and said politely: "You two, please move outside, because the following plot is confidential, please understand."

After saying that, the two "connected households" were politely sent out of the set by the security guards and looked at each other.
