Ye Li's eyes narrowed, he looked up at the sky for a moment, and then immediately lowered his head. The sun in the sky was really too big, and it was really impossible to look at it for a long time.
"Gu~"
Ye Li raised his neck, poured the mineral water in his hand into his mouth, and then let out a long breath.
"This weather is really unbearable for people. It seems that this star is not easy to be a star either."
Ye Li whispered. At this time, there was a group of people moving about a hundred meters in front of him. There were many cameras around those people, and they were wearing ancient costumes. Of course they were filming. Of course Ye Li was not here today.
I came to visit because I had so much free time, but because Yang Youdong's first TV series after his comeback had started filming, and he happened to have nothing to do, so he came to take a look.
However, upon seeing this, Ye Li couldn't help but sigh, knowing that success in every business requires a lot of effort, and that even outsiders cannot understand.
"Mr. Ye, you are here."
More than an hour later, Lin Fangzheng walked over to Ye Li, sweating profusely.
"Ah."
Ye Li nodded and said, "There happens to be nothing to do, so I came to take a look."
Lin Fangzheng pulled a towel, wiped his sweat, and drank a few sips of water before he felt comfortable. He said, "It's really hot in this damn weather, but the things that can be photographed in this weather are really good. It's so hot."
It makes people both love and hate it.”
Bad weather means bad light, and the photos taken will naturally be bad, so people like Lin Fangzheng and others actually quite like this kind of weather where the sun is very strong.
"It's really not easy."
Ye Li pointed to the group of people who were still continuing over there, and continued: "In this weather, if we continue like this, we will probably die from the heat."
"That's right, it's actually not easy to be an actor."
Lin Fangzheng has been working in this industry for too long, and he has a deep understanding of this point, "Don't look at those stars who usually live under the neon lights and are glamorous, but they actually pay a lot, such as
It is common for people to stay in the wilderness for a year and a half in order to make a movie."
"Well, that's true. By the way, Director Lin, how is Yang Youdong doing?"
Ye Li is basically like Yang Youdong's manager now. Naturally, he is here to see Yang Youdong's performance.
"Yes, quite good. He is a real talent. Although he was a little unfamiliar at the beginning, he quickly adapted to it. He is a person with hard skills. There is no way those young actors can compare with him. I
I think he was down a few years ago just because of bad luck."
Speaking of Yang Youdong, Lin Fangzheng admired Ye Li's vision even more. At first, he was unwilling to use Yang Youdong, but Ye Li convinced him. After participating in his own advertising to promote Yang Youdong, Yang Youdong was suddenly known by people.
I got to know each other, so in this new TV series I started, I was immediately recognized by the investors and got an important role.
A week after the actual shooting started, Yang Youdong's performance gradually improved. Based on Lin Fangzheng's experience, Yang Youdong knew that as long as nothing unexpected happened, Yang Youdong would definitely become popular again.
What does all this prove? It proves that Ye Li's vision is indeed extremely vicious!
"Very good, this is all very good. Director Yang Youdong and Lin, please feel free to use it. I control everything."
Ye Li said with a smile.
Lin Fangzheng nodded, thought for a moment and continued: "Don't tell me, I have a friend who makes a movie, and he wants Yang Youdong to make a cameo. What do you think?"
"As long as it doesn't affect Director Lin's filming of your TV series, that's fine."
Ye Li knew that since Yang Youdong said this, it was naturally because that person was his good friend, and he must have hoped that Yang Youdong would go, but in terms of face, Ye Li also had to say this, which was a sign of respect for Lin Fangzheng.
Sure enough, Lin Fangzheng felt quite comfortable after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, this aspect is not a problem. I am the director, so I can just coordinate. The key to the problem is that Yang Youdong may not be paid too much in the movie."
high."
This is the real purpose of Lin Fangzheng and Ye Li talking about this matter. He also knows that the remuneration of the contract signed between Ye Li and Yang Youdong depends on how much money Yang Youdong can earn, so if Yang Youdong's remuneration is too low, it means that Ye Li
Ye Li can't make any money, so Ye Li may disagree with this matter.
"For Yang Youdong now, it is not the time to make money, but the time to invest. As long as there is a chance to show his face, no matter how low or even no reward, I am willing to let him go, not to mention that this matter is Director Lin
You said it, so there is no problem in this regard."
After Lin Fangzheng heard what Ye Li said, his eyes lit up and he deeply admired Ye Li's long-term vision. Most people in such a situation want to make money quickly. He has seen too many people who are slightly famous in this industry.
He was thinking about people who make a lot of money. He originally thought that Ye Li was such a person and would make such a request, but he didn't expect that Ye Li didn't have one at all. Instead, he valued Yang Youdong's opportunity to "show his face" more.
In fact, Ye Li's approach is the real king, because really speaking, Yang Youdong is just starting to become famous again. If he offers a high price now, it will scare away many directors waiting for him.
To get more opportunities to star, this is quite detrimental to Yang Youdong's reputation.
Therefore, the best way is not to be too particular about remuneration at this time, let Yang Youdong take more films, strive for more opportunities to show his face, and really promote his fame. After reaching a certain level, Yang Youdong's reputation will be relatively stable.
At that time, let’s talk about remuneration and everything will fall into place.
The reason for doing this is very simple and everyone understands it, but whether it can actually be done is another matter. Now Ye Li has done it.
"Then I won't be polite, leave this matter to me."
Now that Ye Li said this, Lin Fangzheng was no longer polite, and there was no need to be polite.
"Okay, anyway, Director Lin, you have the final say on this matter. There is no problem with Yang Youdong. I will just go and talk to him now."
"This young man is not an ordinary person."
Watching Ye Li walking towards Yang Youdong, Lin Fangzheng thought to himself. Young people often lack experience and do not have a long-term vision, so they will not be practical when doing things. However, in Lin Fangzheng's view, Ye Li was quite good at handling this matter.
Of course, Lin Fangzheng really likes to work with people like Ye Li - it is always quite pleasant to deal with smart people.
Looking at Yang Youdong who was breathing heavily, Ye Li said with a smile: "How is it? Are you still used to it?"
Nodding and shaking his head, Yang Youdong said: "I haven't been like this for several years. It's really a bit unaccustomed to it, but it's no problem. I can handle it."
Wearing heavy costumes gives people an airtight feeling. In addition, you can sweat profusely without even moving under the scorching sun, let alone walking around or even fighting.
action. Moreover, Yang Youdong himself is not young anymore, and he cannot compare with young people in terms of physical strength. But after several years of depression, Yang Youdong knows that the current opportunity is quite rare for him.
He would fight even if his life was at stake.
"Okay, it's up to you anyway. Opportunities are rare for you now. Whether you can turn around depends on this time. Opportunities are not easy, you have to seize them."
Yang Youdong nodded silently, knowing that Ye Li was right.
"By the way, there is one more thing. Lin Fangzheng told me just now that there is a movie for you to make a guest appearance, but the reward is very small, so I agreed."
"no problem."
Yang Youdong nodded. He understood that his "little life" was now in Ye Li's hands. Ye Li would do whatever he said, and he had no room to object. To put it bluntly, his life was to work for Ye Li now.
.
Seeing Yang Youdong like this, how could Ye Li still not understand what he was thinking? He smiled and said, "Yang Youdong, I am not a mean person. This situation is not caused by me, but by you."
Caused."
Speaking of this incident, Yang Youdong felt even more bitter, because Ye Li was right, the whole incident was indeed caused by himself: first, he thought that he had become famous and could ask for a price, but he blackmailed Ye Li, but he did not expect
Ye Li didn't care about him at all. Then he encountered a lawsuit, and Ye Li promised to help him solve it in exchange for his agreement to sign a more stringent contract.
So, all this is caused by myself, who can I blame?
"Okay, don't be like this. I've paired you with a person. You will be very busy in the future. He can help you deal with some things. I will choose another day and let him contact you. The harder you work, the more famous you will be.
, the better it is for you, the better it is for me. As I said, I am not a mean person. If you work hard, you will live a good life in the future. I said, you can get a bonus.
"
Ye Li said nothing more, stood up and left.
Looking at Ye Li's back, Yang Youdong had a complicated look on his face. He didn't expect that Ye Li would match him. Actors actually have a lot of things to deal with, such as eating, clothing, etc., which will make
Actors are distracted, so those big-name actors have assistants who have to help with these things.
He had one back then, but Yang Youdong also understood that with his current situation, it was impossible to have an assistant, but Ye Li got one for himself.
Yang Youdong suddenly remembered what Ye Li said when he left just now that he could get a bonus, and he suddenly became energetic and full of strength.
What Yang Youdong didn't realize was that he had become submissive to Ye Li without even knowing it.
