Chapter 9 Bearded Director

"Manager He, when will the next batch of funds be available? Once the roles are chosen, I want to start filming as soon as possible. Once the crew starts filming, how much money will it cost?" Although Sun Shupei didn't want to throw cold water on it, he still asked this question. Come out, the crew hasn't turned on the camera yet. It won't cost much, but once it is turned on, it will cost money every day.

At this moment, Sun Shupei also had to worry about expenses. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't accomplish anything without money.

Originally, we planned to invite big names to play My Fair Princess, but in the end we had to find new people to play the part. It's not like we didn't have the money to hire big names.

When it came to money, He Xiuqiong also frowned and said: "It's coming, it's coming. Don't worry, director. I also know your difficulties. Please also understand my situation. The two dramas started shooting almost at the same time. This matter, I always have to run it, worry, I promise I won’t delay your startup. It’s time for Yonghua Film and Television to use it, and you can’t be on camera in vain. Let’s look at the next actor. I heard that there are a few here today. A good seedling.”

In fact, He Xiuqiong has already made up his mind. If the two artists recommended by Yonghua Film and Television are not good, how will he face Yonghua after rejecting them? After all, Yonghua will invest real money.

Fortunately, Ye Ming gave her a surprise, which was very suitable for the character of Er Kang. Now that the actor has been decided, Yonghua Film and Television should at least make some blood.

In the evening, he was originally going to study the script. Although he has watched the TV series Huan Zhu Ge Ge countless times, it is actually impossible not to watch it. Every winter and summer vacation, Mango Channel takes turns bombing Huan Zhu Ge Ge like a chicken blood. .

But Li Dachuan wanted to take Ye Ming to drink, saying he wanted to celebrate.

Unable to shirk it, he found a public phone and called Uncle Liang. The three of them met at a nearby stall and started eating.

Uncle Liang looked at Ye Ming and felt that this kid seemed a bit strange. After returning from training in Hong Kong City, he seemed to have something extra, maturity, which is a kind of experience that young people in the circle lack.

Without enough experience and a lot of painful struggles, it is impossible to have such an experience in this circle.

Uncle Liang could see this kind of maturity and stability in Ye Ming, which was an indispensable advantage in being in the entertainment industry.

At that moment, Uncle Liang said very happily: "Today is a good day. It is a very good thing that Ye Zi can sign a contract with the cast of My Fair Princess, Qiong Yao Opera. Newcomers already have this opportunity in their first year, and in the circle You can count them on one hand. Dachuan, let’s congratulate you, Brother Ming, on your smooth sailing and soaring into the sky.”

Just when they were about to toast, Ye Ming's BP machine rang. Artists don't have to have mobile phones. That thing is very precious now and cannot be bought by ordinary people.

But even if you are a grassroots group performer, as long as the conditions permit and you are not so busy that you can't make a living, you will definitely be equipped with a BP machine.

Because there are more opportunities with the BP machine, otherwise even if the director wants to use you, the capital is so big and there are hundreds of thousands of extras, who can find you, who will bother to find an extra.

Ye Ming made a confession and went to the public phone of a nearby canteen. As soon as the call was connected, Hong Fei's voice immediately rang: "What are you doing? I don't care what you are doing now. Even if you are having fun with horses, you are still there." I'll fly to Room 203 of the Baiyun Hotel next to the Beijing TV station in ten minutes. I don't need to tell you where. If you can't make it within ten minutes, I'll kill you, believe it or not."

After saying that, bang, the phone was hung up. It was really in line with Hong Fei's character. However, Ye Ming was actually used to this kind of thing.

Returning to the jar, he explained the situation in a few words. Uncle Liang immediately guessed that there must be something wrong here, and immediately waved Ye Ming away. What should be done with eating? Seriousness is the most important thing in work, not important work. Hong Fei would not look for Ye Ming at this point.

Out of breath, I found Baiyun Hotel. It was said to be a hotel, but it was actually a small hotel. 203 There were already many handsome men and beautiful women waiting outside.

These handsome men and beautiful women have an extra sense of impulse and hope on their faces. One look at them shows that they have just entered this circle and think that this is the shortcut to the Avenue of Stars.

Seeing this, Ye Ming was also startled. Could it be that it was still an opportunity for an audition? Huanzhugege was filmed as soon as he wanted to do it. Hong Fei wouldn't be so unreliable and accepted another role for him, right?

These handsome men and beautiful women, who are about the same age as Ye Ming, all look young and full of expectations, hoping that they will have a chance to soar into the sky and become a big-name star. However, it is too difficult to find such opportunities in the capital. Thousands of people perform, and only one of them can break out of this bloody road.

It won't be long before these young people, who look forward to it and are full of hope, will leave with their sophistication, smoothness, and even despair wiped away by the cruel reality.

In the expectant and jealous eyes of those handsome men and beautiful women, Ye Ming knocked on the door. At this time, knocking on the door was impossible without a relationship. A competitor with a relationship would be a very big threat. Who wouldn't? I know that survival in this circle depends on relationships.

Therefore, Ye Ming's actions almost aroused everyone's unanimous hatred and hatred.

After knocking on the door a few times and getting no reply, Ye Ming knocked louder and harder twice more.

At this time, the door creaked open, and an impatient voice said: "Who is it? Didn't you say you would have to wait for the interview later?"

A curly, chubby, round head looks like a lion that has just woken up, with narrowed eyes sticking out.

Ye Ming immediately offered a Chinese cigarette, which was left over from the day, expressing his intention of coming.

Curly Hair then looked Ye Ming up and down, his attitude changed slightly and said, "You are Brother Fei who said Ye Ming, come in? Brother Fei and the director are waiting for you,"

After entering, the room was filled with smoke, giving people a suffocating feeling that they couldn't breathe, as if a pair of invisible hands were pinching their throats.

Four people were playing mahjong. At this time, Curly Hair didn't seem to pay attention to Ye Ming at all, shouting: "Batiao, who played Batiao just now, you are not kind, and you didn't wait for me for a while,"

The bearded man sitting at Tianmen said impatiently: "Who told you not to pay attention? Why are you talking nonsense after the cards have been passed? Hurry up, don't waste time."

The person sitting on the right side of the bearded man was Hong Fei. Hong Fei seemed to be listening to the cards at this time, so he had enough time to introduce the situation to Ye Ming.

He first introduced the bearded man and said: "Ye Ming, let me introduce to you. This is the deputy director of the literary and art department of Tianchao TV, Mr. Zhao Yuzhao, the fat curly guy opposite me."

At this time, Curly Hair played out a 30,000 card. Zhao Eucalyptus immediately stretched out his hand in an exaggerated manner and said loudly: "Don't move, don't move, it's blurry. Haha, Curly Hair, I said you have stinky hands, why are you still here?" I don’t believe it, you’ve already fired the cannon three times, thirty thousand west wind is against me, please give me money quickly.”

But at this time, Curly Mao, Hong Fei and others didn't seem to be depressed at all about losing money. On the contrary, they all gave money very frequently.

At this time, Ye Ming suddenly thought of who the fat curly guy with eyes was, Zhang Junyi. This guy was Zhang Junyi, who was very cunning in the entertainment industry.

If it hadn't been for the fact that something happened to Zhang Jun and Zhao Yu went in one after another, causing a sensation in the entertainment industry at the time, maybe Ye Ming really didn't know who the fat man with a sloppy smile in front of him was.

It seemed that after receiving the money, Zhao Yu felt very happy, and then he stopped and said: "Lao Hong, this is Ye Ming you are talking about, the newcomer that your company is highly recommending. Don't say that I don't give Mr. Huang face. I'm here to help out at Jianshitan, the capital, and I can't help you. If you don't sing well, don't blame me for being rude. It's a singing competition no matter what, and it won't work if you don't sing well."

Hong Fei assured with a smile: "Don't worry, Director Zhao. Ye Ming is not an ordinary newcomer. He is a highly praised newcomer by our company. The young master once arranged for him to go to Hong Kong City for training for half a year. No, you also know , when the eldest young master enters the system, the company will be replaced by the second young master. I guarantee that there will be no problem with the quality. Moreover, we have just signed a new drama for Ms. Qiong Yao, and it is estimated that it will be broadcast after the new year."

It seemed that Ms. Qiong Yao's golden sign had also worked. Zhao Yu nodded and said, "That's good. Forget it. I won't say anything else. You sing a song first. Are Curly Mao and Teacher Li here?" , let them all listen. If it really works, then go to participate in the competition tomorrow. I am very busy. I will try to complete the competition within a week. There are so many things waiting in the stage. Who has a kung fu gym and the like? It’s a little competition.”

The most eye-catching thing at that time was the return of Hong Kong City, and everyone was celebrating. As the director of the literary and art department of Tianchao TV, Zhao Yu was naturally a busy man. If he hadn't said that he owed a favor to Jingcheng TV, he would not have come over to direct any singing at this time. of competition.

Even if you come here, it's actually just a name and coordination. The specific details are done by the director of Jingcheng Channel.

Hong Fei nodded, and then said to Ye Ming: "Let me introduce to you, this is Zhang Junyi, Teacher Zhang, a famous lyricist, writer, and party planner. He is a rare all-round master. This person here is No need for me to introduce you."

The man who had been facing Ye Ming turned around at this time. He was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looked very solemn and solemn. He glanced at Ye Ming and said kindly: "Young man, don't do it." If you're nervous, just sing a bel canto song. As long as you sing well in bel canto, other songs usually don't matter. Well, let's listen to a few verses of Teacher Yang Hongji's "The Rolling Waters of the Yangtze River Passing East."

Li Shuangjiang, this is also at the professor level. It seems that the three of them are discussing this competition together.

Ordinary people think that this competition is mysterious. In fact, in China, at least in the twentieth century, these competitions are all about a few people who can take charge of the country and get together to discuss what to do. Do it, and then it becomes a rule.

The Rolling Yangtze River Passes East, this song has been popular all over the country and has become a well-known song after the broadcast of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Teacher Yang Hongji's rich and penetrating singing voice made the whole song so soul-stirring that it lingered around for three days.

Ye Ming was not prepared, but he sang a few lines acapella with all his strength, and it sounded decent.

Zhao Yu then nodded and said, "It still sounds the same. Teacher Li, what do you think of this matter?"

Professionals are professionals after all, and Li Shuangjiang is truly qualified to comment on how good Ye Ming's singing is.

Li Shuangjiang is also a well-rounded person. He knows how to advance and retreat. He saw what Zhao Yu meant and said with a smile: "You are the director. You have the final say. If you see it, then there is no problem. According to professional rules, From a perspective, speaking is something that requires some practice, but no matter how it is, participating in the competition is much better than those outside.
