"I didn''t expect that sister He Ying also watched the ensemble program of the women''s League?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
As soon as Xiao Yao talks about giving lessons to girls, He Ying knows it''s for the idol girls'' group. Obviously, Xiao Yao''s preparation for the film project is also known through the group''s comprehensive program.
Xiao Yao was entrusted to a casting studio to take charge of the film''s early casting work. Casting studio helps Xiao Yao choose actors. Naturally, we need to understand the remuneration. This is a low-cost film with a production cost budget of no more than 10 million yuan. There is not much pay for the actors. The casting studio will not consider the actor He Ying.
Xiao Yao wants to do this film project, in addition to several small partners of the film and television company, it is estimated that only a few people, such as sun Tingting''s parents, know about it. In this preparatory stage, there is no need for any media publicity, and these people will not help Xiao Yao publicize everywhere.
It''s not the casting studio, it''s not the relatives and friends around her, so the only way for He Ying to get the news is from Xiao Yao chatting with the girls in the ensemble program last week.
"I really don''t have much interest in idol groups, but I heard that you are a guest, so I looked at it casually." He Ying said with a smile, "who knows that you are unexpectedly preparing a new movie again."
"How''s it going? You haven''t answered my question? " He Ying then asked.
"To tell you the truth," Xiao Yao said, "I can''t afford to hire an actor of your value."
"Come on!" He Ying said with a smile, "in the past year, both of your films have been box office blockbusters, making a lot of money. I''m not worth a lot of money to make movies. How can you not afford to hire me?"
"It doesn''t matter how much money I have," Xiao said. "The budget for the movie has been set! It''s a low-cost film, and the budget for actors'' salaries is not big. "
The film prepared by Xiao Yao is different from the short film "tuner" made a few years ago. Short films don''t take long. Those roles can be finished in a day or two. At that time, when he was young, he did not have much money as a film director for the first time. It looked like fun, so he had the cheek to find a bunch of relatives and friends to film for free. Now Xiao Yao is making long films, and the time and energy required by actors is totally different from that of short films. With Xiao Yao''s current fame, status and wealth, he can no longer do this kind of thing.
Of course, in Xiao Yao''s current situation, it''s not that he really has no money and can''t afford to hire famous star actors. But the reason why he made this film is that sun Tingting is not particularly optimistic about the box office prospects of the film, and he doesn''t have much ambition. He felt that this film did not need any famous star actors, so he set the production cost of the film and the budget of actors'' remuneration relatively low. Since the film''s cost budget and remuneration budget are set at a relatively low level, Xiao Yao naturally takes it as a reason for his refusal.
"If the budget is fixed, it can be increased." He Ying said, "if it''s really because of the lack of budget, I can invest! How about making investment with film payment? If it''s not enough, I can still get the money out! "
"Don''t take my money, give it back to me?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "are you so confident in me?"
"Of course!" He Ying said, "I''ve seen you with my own eyes. Of course I have confidence in you!"
Together with Xiao Yao, He Ying recorded "sound in its place" and helped Xiao Yao dub "Wali". No matter what the outside world says, He Ying has really felt Xiao Yao''s ability.
Xiao Yao''s films and TV works are not many, but his reputation is quite good. Not to mention the early TV series, the short film "tuner" and animated film "Wali" scored more than 8.5 points, close to 9 points, and the starring films "127 Hours" and "Parkour boy" scored more than 7 points. In addition to "127 Hours", the others are all written and directed by Xiao Yao.
He Ying so actively wants to participate in Xiao Yao''s film project, but she is not interested in Xiao Yao''s film profitability, but in Xiao Yao''s ability and reputation.
"Thank you for trusting me," Xiao Yao said, "only..."
When Xiao Yao said this, he suddenly came up with an idea in his heart and said, "if you haven''t read the script, you say you want to cooperate with me. Is your trust a little blind?"
"The script is for sure!" He Ying said, "although I volunteered, I also took the appropriate role as the premise. Even if you think a role is suitable for me, I have to approve it myself. If there is a suitable role, we can talk about it. If there is no suitable one, I will not ask you to arrange me, so you don''t have to have any pressure. "
"All right then!" Xiao Yao said, "I''ll send you the script at noon. After you''ve seen it, we''ll have a face-to-face talk sometime. Now, I''ll go to class first! "
"All right, you can do it first! We''ll get in touch later. " He Ying said, "goodbye!"
He Ying called to find out if there was any possibility of cooperation, and she didn''t expect a call to confirm it. At this point, we have basically achieved our goal.
"Goodbye, sister He Ying!" Xiao Yao put away the phone and hooked his mouth.Xiao Yao didn''t plan to invite big stars to join in. He wanted to reject He Ying directly because He Ying didn''t have a suitable role in the film. But He Ying is so positive, Xiao Yao suddenly has a more interesting idea.
There are only three female characters in the film, among which only the heroine Zhang Yiman is suitable for He Ying. Among the remaining two female roles, Sun Jia, the daughter of the principal, is a little girl, not suitable for He Ying in terms of appearance or age. The other female character is the wife of the coppersmith. She looks ugly, and her language and behavior are quite rude. She is almost the image of a shrew plus a shrew, which is far from the temperament and image of He Ying.
The role of heroine Zhang Yiman has been reserved by sun Tingting. Although in terms of age and image, He Ying seems to be more suitable for the role than sun Tingting, this film is made for sun Tingting, and Xiao Yao will definitely not change the role. On the surface, it seems that there is no suitable role for He Ying in the film, but Xiao Yao suddenly remembers that the actress who plays the blacksmith''s wife is not an ugly woman in the original version of the previous life. In fact, she is very beautiful.
He Ying is a goddess in the hearts of audiences and fans. Even if I have played some roles like the little people at the bottom of society before, I have never played the role of ugly shrew. He Ying, goddess of temperament, plays shrew? Just imagine that picture, Xiao Yao felt very interesting.
Once this idea appeared in his mind, Xiao Yao could not contain his desire to turn it into reality. In contrast, it''s not a matter for Xiao Yao to invite stars to join in, increase the production cost and budget of films.
However, although Xiao Yao has this idea, whether he Ying will agree to play the role of self destructing image or not, Xiao Yao''s heart is quite bottomless.
Both at home and abroad, it is not uncommon for actresses to self destruct their images for the sake of their roles. However, it seems unlikely to happen to He Ying.
First of all, most of the beautiful actresses disguise themselves as ugly to show their acting skills and show their identity as powerful actresses. Although he Ying is beautiful, she is not a vase. She is recognized as a powerful actress in the eyes of the audience who can be invited by the sound of the scene. She does not need such an ugly role image to show her acting skills.
Secondly, many actresses play ugly to win prizes. But this role is the least of the three female roles. Not to mention comparing with the heroine Zhang Yiman, she is much less involved than Sun Jia, the daughter of another female role principal. In terms of awards, of course, He Ying is not a woman in this movie. But with the proportion of this role, no matter how well He Ying plays, she may not even be able to win the best supporting actress.
Xiao Yao is willing to let He Ying, a star actor, try this role, because no matter how well He Ying plays in the film, she can''t take the audience''s attention from the heroine Zhang Yiman played by sun Tingting. But it''s precisely for this reason that Xiao Yao has great doubts about the possibility of He Ying playing this role.
Although the hope may not be great, but this idea is too tempting, Xiao Yao still wants to try his best. Obviously, He Ying can''t be convinced by one or two words on the phone, so Xiao Yao deliberately changed his words and said something about the script. He showed her the script first, and then had a good face-to-face talk with her sometime.
Although Xiao Yao walked away to answer the phone, he just walked away a little and didn''t leave the practice room. The girls of the girls'' group saw that he didn''t come immediately after he put away the phone, but stood there laughing strangely, so they gathered around curiously.
"Senior, whose phone is it?" Lin Yunan took the lead to ask, "look at you laughing like that, is there any good thing?"
"Ah," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "a friend called to ask me about the movie."
"The movie thing? Do you want to play a part in your movie Lin Yunan said, "by the way, have you found all the actors in your movie? Is there a suitable role for us to try? "
In the entertainment industry, actor is a relatively high status, and it is also the direction that many artists want to try to touch. Both at home and abroad, there are a lot of idol stars who are transforming into actors, and they are no exception.
Lin Yunan heard from Wei Yunjing that Xiao Yao invited Zhaodi to play a guest role in the TV series. She knew that Xiao Yao also said that they were welcome to play a guest role in the TV series. She felt that Xiao Yao at least did not exclude letting them get an electric shock in their own film and television projects.
Compared with the TV series invested by Xiao Yao, which is neither directing nor starring, but just making a cameo appearance, the films directed by Xiao Yao are obviously more attractive. Listening to Xiao Yao talking about the movie, Lin Yunan certainly won''t miss this opportunity. Although Xiao Yao said that the heroine of the movie is his girlfriend sun Tingting, there are many roles in a movie, and they don''t expect to play the leading role or supporting role. Even a supporting role has a much greater influence than the role in a TV play.
"Don''t think about it!" Come to recruit Di but pour cold water way to Lin Yu Nan, "I just heard the elder student call He Ying elder sister to the phone, but teacher He Ying is calling the elder student!""What happened to teacher He Ying?" Lin Yunan said, "I''m not trying to fight for the role with teacher He Ying!"
"The heroine of that movie has been decided to be her girlfriend, and it will not be changed, so teacher He Ying can''t play the heroine! The elder just answered the phone and laughed, which means that he didn''t refuse directly. That is to say, teacher He Ying didn''t ask the elder to play the heroine! " Lai Zhaodi said, "if you think about it, even the actors like teacher He Ying call the seniors to ask about the roles in the movie, and they are not the heroines, what kind of actors are the other roles? We like this, even if we go, at most, we are mass actors, to be a background board. "
"What happened to the background board?" Lin Yunan said, "even if it''s a background board, it''s also a particularly beautiful background board!"
"How do you know that teacher He Ying is looking for my role?" Xiao Yao looked at Lai Zhaodi and said with a smile, "just listen to me call a name, so many contents are added in my brain? It''s a girl with a brain hole
"No?" Lin Yunan said happily.
"I said it, didn''t I?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Ah?" Lin Yunan''s face collapsed, "what''s the matter?"
"Teacher He Ying is calling me. It''s my private business! I don''t have to tell you, do I? " As for you, I can only regret to say that there is no suitable role for any of you in this movie. I didn''t have many roles in that movie. There were only three female characters in total, and there were almost no mass actors. So even if I wanted to ask you to be my most beautiful character background, I didn''t have a chance this time. "
"Alas ~" several girls, including Lin Yunan, sighed with disappointment.
"Well," Xiao Yao clapped his hands, "at present you are still members of the idol girls'' group. At least in the future, filming can''t be your development direction and main business. I don''t mind cooperating with you and inviting you to act if I have a chance in the future, but now, we still focus on the main task in front of us! "
"Oh The girls nodded, sorted out their expressions and moods, and stood up again.
"Today is the second collective training." Xiao Yao said, "it''s been a week since the last practice. First of all, I''d like to see the results of your own practice this week and the completion of the tasks assigned last time. "
