Chapter 142: The company shakes, what? You took over the drama of Lord Star?
Master Xing did his work without any delay, and immediately prepared to contact his assistant to sign a contract with Lin Yuan.
Fortunately, Jackie Chan spoke up and said that the matter had been settled anyway, and there was no rush to sign the contract after dinner, so the star sat down again.
As soon as he sat down, Mr. Xing looked at Lin Yuan and asked: "Lin Yuan, when you were performing your first scene just now, weren't you full of emotions? Why did you suddenly withdraw your emotions?
"
Seeing Master Xing's inquiry, Lin Yuan also gave his own understanding of the role: "In the scene of eating chicken, although Liu Xuan's true feelings were revealed, he has been accustomed to wearing a mask to face the society, so in Shan
When Shan wipes his tears, he will quickly realize that there are other people around him, and he cannot express his vulnerable side..."
Listening to Lin Yuan's understanding, Master Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly joined in the discussion about the characters.
This actually made Jackie Chan and Chen Desheng on the side a little helpless. This is the character of Mr. Xing. Once something interests him, he will focus all his attention on it.
Until all the food was served, Mr. Xing was still a little undecided and wished he could drag Lin Yuan to discuss it for a while.
After arriving at the dinner table, Lin Yuan also took the initiative to toast the three of them.
What followed was a relatively normal dinner. The four of them chatted and asked various questions while eating, ranging from talking about recent movies to family issues. The most frequently asked questions were about Lin Yuan's filming.
This meal didn't last long.
Even if Lin Yuan is free, Mr. Xing and his elder brother have a lot of things to do, so how can they still accompany Lin Yuan to chat.
Even after Chen Desheng finished filming "One Man's Martial Arts", he has been very busy these days.
Therefore, Lin Yuan did not stay here longer. After saying goodbye to Master Xing and his eldest brother one by one, Chen Desheng sent him to the hotel that had been arranged in advance.
After signing the contract for the "Mermaid" movie the next day, Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to go back.
Instead, I chose to wander around Hong Kong.
Think of it as giving yourself a day off to relax.
Unfortunately, he was unable to see all the major attractions in Xiangjiang in one day. Lin Yuan had no intention of staying to visit and directly booked a flight back to Shanghai early tomorrow morning.
...
The next day.
Lin Yuan had just gotten off the plane when Sister Xia called her as if she was holding on to time.
"Lin Yuan, have you returned to Shanghai?"
Sister Xia's tone on the other end of the phone was quite normal, and it didn't sound like there was anything important going on.
However, Lin Yuan still asked: "I just got off the plane, what's wrong, Sister Xia, is there something wrong?"
"There is a meeting at the company. You went to Xiangjiang two days ago and you have been putting it off until now."
"Okay, I'll be right over."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan also waited for his assistant to drive over to pick him up.
In the conference room.
Everyone was waiting for Lin Yuan's arrival. As the current pillar of the company, no one showed an unhappy expression, and they all waited patiently.
Just when everyone was waiting, Lin Yuan opened the conference room door and walked in.
As soon as he came in, everyone started to greet him warmly.
"Sorry, there's a bit of a traffic jam on the road." Lin Yuan said politely to everyone's enthusiasm, then took out his seat and sat next to Sister Xia.
Mr. Li didn't pay much attention. After scanning the people in the conference room, he said, "It's okay. Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting."
After speaking, Mr. Li looked at Lin Yuan.
"Lin Yuan, this meeting is mainly to talk to you about the company's next arrangements. Now your two movies have broken box office records and are very popular online. The company also plans to take this opportunity to help you promote your popularity, so
The company has spent a lot of effort to help you get a movie..."
Mr. Li always said that the company treats him well.
In fact, to put it bluntly, I just took advantage of the current popularity and arranged a drama for him.
If it were before, he might not have any objection to the company's arrangement.
But now that he has accepted Xing Ye's play, he doesn't believe that anyone's play is more valuable than Xing Ye's play.
Therefore, after Mr. Li finished speaking, Lin Yuan did not hesitate at all and refused directly: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I have no schedule for the next six months. I'm afraid the company's arrangements will have to be found by someone else.
"
Everyone in the conference room obviously did not expect that Lin Yuan would refuse so decisively.
In their opinion.
Even if Lin Yuan was no longer willing to obey the company's arrangements, he would still have to find a decent excuse to politely refuse.
Who would have thought that Lin Yuan would tell them directly that he would not have time for the next six months, let alone filming with him, and forget about making other arrangements with him.
"Lin Yuan, you have to think about it carefully."
"Yes, your two movies are indeed a hit, but no one can say whether your subsequent movies will be a hit."
"This is the company's arrangement. If you say there is no schedule, do you mean you don't want to listen to the company's arrangement?"
The voices of several department heads came out quietly.
Mr. Li was not angry at all. Instead, he introduced the importance of the film with sincerity: "Lin Yuan, don't be impatient. You haven't read the script yet. Once you do, you will know that the company spent a lot of money to give it to you."
I made it, this is a book tailor-made for you."
The tone of his speech was very sincere, but the atmosphere in the office was somewhat wrong. After all, no matter how awesome you Lin Yuan is, you are only an artist under the company. It is somewhat unreasonable for an artist to not give the vice president face.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Sister Xia also knew that Lin Yuan was putting on some airs this time. Considering that she still wanted to continue working in the company, she quickly came out to smooth things over and asked: "Lin Yuan has taken on many roles before.
You really can’t get away, right Lin Yuan?”
After hearing Sister Xia's words, the contract with Master Xing has been signed anyway. The company will know about this kind of thing in a few days, so Lin Yuan did not hide it and said directly: "Mr. Li, it's not that I don't listen to the company's arrangements, it's
Next, I have to shoot "Tang Detective", and I also have to shoot the new movie that Xing Ye is preparing, so I have no time to divide my time."
When Lin Yuan talked about Detective Tang, everyone was a little disdainful because no one was optimistic about this movie.
Moreover, just such a movie can be shot in three or four months at most, and there are basically no other arrangements for it.
That's why the company took advantage of this time to specially accept a movie for Lin Yuan, with the purpose of bringing out all of Lin Yuan's current value.
But the next second.
When they heard Lin Yuan say, "We still have to film the new movie prepared by Master Xing," the entire conference room suddenly became quiet.
After a while, the sound of discussion filled with incredible tone resounded in the conference room.
In the entire film and television industry, is there anyone else who can be called Mr. Xing?
Apparently not.
Mr. Li, who was originally a little unhappy, now had a complicated expression.
"What?? Mr. Xing's play??"
"Lin Yuan, who is Master Xing you are referring to?"
In an instant, Mr. Li stated his problem.
Lin Yuan was not in a hurry and said calmly: "Zhou Xingchi, Master Xing!"
When it was confirmed that it was Zhou Xingchi, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. They all looked at Lin Yuan in shock, and everyone's brain was somewhat shut down.
You, Lin Yuan, are awesome, everyone knows it.
But not long after you, Lin Yuan, just entered the front line, you were spotted by such a top boss? You even became the starring role in other people’s movies??????
Your riding on a horse can no longer be described as awesome. You are fucking awesome, so awesome!
After realizing this, Mr. Li felt a little embarrassed.
The reason for the embarrassment is simple. He can't let Lin Yuan push away Master Xing's drama, right? If he dares to say such things, I'm afraid he will be kicked out by Xitian Media tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Mr. Li couldn't help but shudder, immediately hammered the table, and then murmured to himself.
"I have been repeatedly emphasizing to the leaders above that artists like Lin Yuan do not need them to join in the fun at all. He can develop a world by himself, but they just don't listen and always want the best for them.
Lin Yuan, but now it seems that they are just a waste of time."
The two-level reversal of attitude made everyone feel that it was not inconsistent, because if it were them, they would do such a thing.
However, Mr. Li is still very smart. He deliberately emphasized that the company wanted to get the best for Lin Yuan. This sentence is enough to prove that he can sit in this position because of his ability.
After cursing and finishing the play, Mr. Li said to everyone: "For a spiritual actor like Lin Yuan, if the company arranges plays, it simply limits his growth!" After saying that, he turned to look at Lin Yuandao.
: "Don't worry, Lin Yuan, I will help you explain this matter clearly in front of the chairman and the others."
After making this guarantee, Mr. Li didn't want to attend the meeting anymore. He hurried out of the meeting room and immediately wanted to report to the board of directors that Lin Yuan had taken over the role of Star Master.
As soon as Mr. Li left, people in the conference room joined in enthusiastically.
Those little leaders who thought Lin Yuan was a little too arrogant before now began to praise him one by one.
"I told Mr. Li before that actors like Lin Yuan lack a stage, and now it seems that is indeed the case."
"Lin Yuan, you see that the two artists under Sister Zhou have always been tepid. How about you help me?"
"..."
The messy scene made some people think it was some sort of commendation meeting. Under such circumstances, the meeting naturally couldn't go on.
Fortunately, Sister Xia understood that it would be embarrassing to stay here at this time, so she immediately helped him cover up, and quickly returned to her office with Lin Yuan, ready to rest for a while.
After the two returned to the room, they looked at each other and smiled, and then Sister Xia said: "You kid, you really became a blockbuster without even saying a word. You accepted the role of Master Xing, and you didn't even tell me about such a big thing!
"
Facing Sister Xia's words, Lin Yuan also smiled and didn't say much.
A few minutes later, Sister Xia answered a phone call and quickly left the lounge. Apparently she was summoned by Mr. Li.
After Sister Xia left, Lin Yuan was left alone in the rest room.
Just when I thought nothing happened, I had just rested for a few minutes when there was a knock on the door.
After opening the door, artists from several companies rushed in.
After these people came in, they first introduced themselves.
They are members of the company's girl group, and they came in for no other reason than to try to please Lin Yuan while he was still in the company. Their managers have already given orders to please Lin Yuan at all costs.
, because as long as you please him, there will be countless benefits for the girl group members, whether in the company or outside.
Therefore, when they came in, after introducing themselves, they immediately began to give Lin Yuan tea and water, and asked Lin Yuan if there was anything he needed help with.
What made Lin Yuan a little embarrassed was that these female artists were very brave and came directly to Lin Yuan.
"Hello Brother Lin Yuan, we are the company's new girl group EOA, please take good care of us in the future."
"Brother Lin Yuan, my name is Ling'er. I have been filming a TV series recently and I always feel that my acting skills are not up to par in some areas. Are you free to teach me tonight?"
The female artist named Ling'er directly took Lin Yuan's hand and placed it on his chest, making a pitiful look.
When other female artists saw this, they were not to be outdone.
He leaned directly over the table and had a happy couple under the influence of the earth's gravity.
The scenery of the northern hemisphere was clearly exposed to Lin Yuan's eyes.
Taking advantage of Lin Yuan's dazed moment, the female artist leaned over and whispered in Lin Yuan's ear: "If Senior Lin Yuan is willing, I would also like to ask you to come to my house to help discuss the plot."
"Ahem."
Lin Yuan coughed twice and quickly adjusted his sitting posture.
Facing so many warblers, he was a little embarrassed for a while.
But then I thought about it, as a senior artist in the company, I naturally have to give people some help.
It's just that with so many people, it's impossible for him to teach them all at once.
Lin Yuan had no choice but to add them to WeChat one by one and discuss acting with them when he had time.
After finally dealing with the female artists in the company, Lin Yuan quickly locked the door.
The moment the door was locked, Sister Xia walked in. After taking a look at the members of the girl group who were dancing excitedly, she walked into the lounge again. Seeing Lin Yuan's embarrassed look, she couldn't help but sit aside and start joking.
: "Why, this hasn't even started yet and you're already out of breath from exhaustion?"
Lin Yuan rolled his eyes at Sister Xia and said angrily: "They are simply trying to eat people. Who can bear this? But Sister Xia, don't you know whether I have good physical strength or not?"
After the simple teasing and bickering, Lin Yuan also rested in the room with his feet up.
While taking a break, I looked at the high-rise buildings outside Xitian Media Company and suddenly remembered my previous preparations to buy a house.
So I turned on the computer at my desk and browsed the Shanghai real estate market.
After scanning several times, Lin Yuan finally set his sights on a villa worth more than 30 million yuan.
There is no doubt that he wants to buy this villa.
However, it is a pity that he currently does not have enough money to buy the villa in full.
He now has almost 20 million in his bank card. Just two days ago, Tang Tan's 8 million salary was paid to the company.
Originally it was 7.9 million, but in the end, Lin Yuan and Wang Baoqiang were given the same salary.
After splitting the money 50-50, I got 3.2 million.
The salary for Mermaid is also 8 million. Although this movie is directed by Star Master, the salary is not as high as expected, but it doesn't matter, why do you need a bicycle?
The eight million film salary is converted into three million yuan. Calculated in this way, there is still seven million short of buying a villa with the full payment.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan suddenly looked at Sister Xia aside and asked: "Sister Xia, is there any way to make quick money?"
As Lin Yuan's manager, when he heard that Lin Yuan was in urgent need of money, he naturally thought that he had something to do: "Why are you in such a hurry for money?"
Lin Yuan told him that he was interested in a villa, but there was still a shortfall of seven million.
Hearing this, Sister Xia was relieved, and then gave Lin Yuan a suggestion: "If you want to make quick money, the best option at the moment is to accept endorsements and advertisements."
With Lin Yuan's current popularity, shooting an advertisement would cost at least two to three million.
And the most important thing is that shooting commercials is not like shooting TV series or movies, which takes too long.
Maybe in less than a day, we can shoot the advertisement that the employer wants.
Lin Yuan thought this was a good idea and started talking immediately.
"Sister Xia, please help me ask if there are any advertisements or endorsements that I can accept recently."
As Lin Yuan's voice fell, Sister Xia directly took out her mobile phone and sent a message to her circle.
[If there is any advertising business, we can discuss it, preferably in the near future, as the filming of a new movie will conflict with the schedule!]
Sister Xia is quite smart and specifically mentioned in the message that Lin Yuan will be filming a movie next.
This is equivalent to telling others that they are going to make a new movie soon. If the new movie becomes popular, and you take advantage of the trend and launch your advertising endorsements, wouldn't this be a waste of popularity?
Just after Sister Xia sent this message, within a few seconds, many people contacted her.
"Sister Xia, I have an advertisement here. The advertising fee is definitely high. Do you want to take a look?"
"Sister Xia, does Lin Yuan have any requirements for advertising?"
"Sister Xia, I have an endorsement here, why don't you consider it?"
In fact, when Charlotte became popular, many advertising endorsements came to her.
It's just that at that time, Lin Yuan was still busy filming "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", and the advertising and endorsement situation was a bit complicated, so Sister Xia had no choice but to reject these ads.
Within a short time, twenty or thirty endorsements and advertisements came to my door.
Sister Xia also screened Lin Yuan first, and in the end only three advertisements and two endorsements were left.
They are the endorsements of Mengniu Zhenguoli and Mogujie, and the advertisements of Metersbonwe, Dove, and Jingtian mineral water.
After Lin Yuan took a look, he picked Dove and Metersbonwe.
The reason why I chose these two advertisements is that, firstly, the advertising fee is not low, and secondly, it is convenient and time-saving.
As a spokesperson, in addition to filming an endorsement, you also have to deal with business interviews.
Lin Yuan couldn't guarantee when the filming of "Tang Detective" would officially start, so naturally it would be best to finish filming the commercial as soon as possible.
After selecting these two advertisements, Sister Xia also sent a message back to the people in charge of Dove and Metersbonwe.
The two advertisements are scheduled for tomorrow afternoon and the day after tomorrow morning respectively.
After setting the time, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, his house was finally settled.
After that, he didn't talk much here. He still had to read more of Tang Tan's script and Mermaid's script in the next time. There was no way he could waste time here.
After saying hello, Lin Yao left.
When I got home, I started to work hard and carefully read the details of the script.
Time passed quickly. On the afternoon of the next day, Metersbonwe sent a car to take Lin Yuan to the studio.
Photographing this kind of print advertisement is quite simple.
Lin Yuan only had to change into their clothes and then pose a few times as the photographer asked.
Excluding the time spent changing clothes, the entire commercial took less than two hours to shoot.
After the shooting, Metersbonwe also selected a copy of all the clothes Lin Yuan shot and gave them to Lin Yuan.
Although Smith Barney has begun to decline in recent years, advertising expenses do not include lakes at all.
The advertising fee of 6 million was paid to the company that night.
Dove's advertising expenses are even higher than those of American Barney, totaling 9 million.
However, there is also a requirement, that is, if Dove shoots an advertisement next, Lin Yuan must give priority to Dove under the premise that the quotation is the same as other advertisements.
This is equivalent to investing in Lin Yuan in advance.
After filming the two commercials, Lin Yuan finally scraped together 30 million to buy a house.
I took the time to spend a day buying a house. After buying the villa I wanted in full, the balance on the card was less than 500,000.
After struggling in the entertainment industry for so long, I just bought a house and went back to before the reform.
Looking at the shrunken wallet, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
He felt that he had to work harder to take on the roles in the future.
