Chapter 99 (1/2)
Ji Mian was in a meeting when he received Xiao Jiashu's private letter. Several new trainees were waiting for him to work out a development route for them. Lin LeYang came to the company with a strong support and asked to sign a new contract. Yes, he is ready to give up his A-level contract and start with a real newcomer. This decision is undoubtedly difficult for him, but it is also necessary.
”Go back and discuss with your agent and write me a plan.” Ji Mian said to several new people, ”these days, a star is selling people's equipment, but I have to warn you that no matter what people's equipment, you will stick to it. Don't let people's equipment collapse and destroy yourself. If you want to be a singer, you should sing well and act well. Don't set up a perfect image for yourself
Several people quickly agreed to come down, and then follow the agent out.
Ji Mian just looked at Lin LeYang who had been waiting for a long time, ”the contract you signed before still has four years to expire. According to reason, the company can't help you change it.”
”Season General manager, ”Lin LeYang changed his name in time,” I'm willing to give up all my rights and interests and just start from scratch. Please give me another chance. I didn't understand until now that with my current strength, even if you put the A-level contract into my hands, I can't afford it. You have been helping me behind my back... ”
Before he finished, the mobile phone on the desk rang. Ji Mian first glanced at it carelessly, then quickly picked it up and looked at it. His expression changed from pleasure to prudence. He raised his hand, motioned Lin LeYang not to speak, and finally began to reply.
Xiao Jiashu explained the change of the script in detail, and then asked his confusion: [...] Miss Li, as an actor, I should have abided by the contract and finished the trick, but now I am really confused. I don't know if my persistence is meaningful. 】
Ji Mian: [I ask you, have you ever regretted taking over this play? 】
Xiao Jiashu thought about it and said truthfully: ”I regret it every day. 】
[can it meet your expectations after it is shot? 】
[no, it's too far away. 】
[what's the difference? 】The corona continues to guide.
[the plot is poor, but now it has been changed beyond recognition; the actors are poor in acting skills, but they are not dedicated; the director also has problems, unable to integrate the whole crew, and unable to control all the actors. Many scenes are simply deleted because the actors are unwilling to shoot or can't recite a large part of their lines; the use of funds is also unreasonable, the big head is given to the actors, and the rest is used for props and props Clothing, but did not hire a professional special effects team. You know, this is a fairy drama. At least half of the scenes have to be shot with special effects, but the director doesn't care at all. I can almost imagine how crude and perfunctory it is when the series is finished. 】Xiao Jiashu analyzed one by one.
Ji Mian smiles: ”that's right. The plot, actors, directors, teams, special effects and operation methods you just mentioned are originally the core problems that a production team should face and solve. They are the key to making a good TV play. But now you see, all the cores are out of order, but the director doesn't act at all. Instead, he lets himself go. So what else do you insist on? The spirit of contract is indeed very important, but as an actor, his reputation, his style, his belief and his pursuit should not be more important? 】
he recalled for a moment and went on to write: ”when I was young, I was cheated into making a shoddy movie because I had just started my career and had little experience. I began to regret my first day in the group, but because I couldn't afford to pay the penalty, I had to insist on shooting. Later, when the film was released in China, the scores of various websites almost fell below the bottom line, and it became the black history of my whole life, and I was ashamed to mention it. Now I have money, so I often think, if now I go back to the past and pay the penalty, how good? I think a good actor should have style on the outside and pursuit on the inside. He doesn't want to shoot all kinds of plays. No matter how good your acting skills are, if you pick up too many bad movies, you will be named ”box office poison”. It's hard to turn over again. Losing your style means losing your bones and standing up. The inner pursuit is an actor's respect and accomplishment for art. His aesthetic appreciation and his consciousness should be closer to the artistry rather than pay attention to the film reward. 】
[let's not talk about the pay for the first film, I just ask you, what can this series bring you after it's finished? Is it flowers and applause, or a stain? 】
Xiao Jiashu stares at this passage, and suddenly he is in a daze. Maybe the audience will like it when it's playing, but I really can't agree with it. It can't meet my pursuit of performing arts. Teacher, I think well, I decided not to shoot. 】
Ji Mian replied immediately, [then let your agent deal with the termination. Don't lose heart, just be careful next time. 】
[OK, thank you. 】Xiao Jiashu wrote this line sincerely.
Ji Mian stares at his mobile phone, satisfied and sour. Has Xiaoshu changed her trust from Ji Mian to miss li? Fortunately, both of them are him
Lin LeYang had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Ji Mian had stopped typing, he was so stunned with his mobile phone that he hesitated and said, ”Mr. Ji, what I just said...”Ji Mian waved, ”you go to the legal department, they will help you deal with the contract. Lin LeYang, if I firmly disagree with you to sign a low-level contract, you should know what you will face in the next four years, right
”I know.” For Lin LeYang, an A-level contract is equivalent to xuezang. After four years, where can the forgetful audience remember him? Although four years is not long, it is the most precious time for a young artist in his early twenties, which can never be missed.
”So I've done my utmost for you. We don't owe anyone. Do you agree?” Ji Mian stares at each other.
Lin LeYang gritted his teeth and said, ”I agree.”
”Well, you can go.” Ji Mian waved his hand lightly.
Lin LeYang hobbled out of the office, and an idea came to his mind very clearly: it's all over, and the past few years of dependence have been replaced by the next four years. Ji Ge has never owed him. He has given him the past, the present and the future. Now, he is too greedy
-
meanwhile, Huang meixuan, who came to the set in a hurry, was negotiating with the director, ”director Wang, is it too bad for you to make our little tree like this?”
”We can talk about the script.” Wang An said with a smile.
Sitting on one side, Qiu Du spoke slowly, ”is Xiao Jiashu not very satisfied with the ending? I'll just change it back. ”
Huang meixuan glanced at him and sneered, ”don't think I don't know what tricks you are playing. You are deliberately changing the ending of the little tree to that. If he expresses dissatisfaction, you can use this to deal with us, so that we can have the illusion that you have made significant concessions, right? Qiu Du, do you think everyone is a fool and can be manipulated by you? We don't care whether the ending is changed or not. ”
She stared at Wang An and said, ”today I'm not here to talk about the script with you, but about the termination of the contract. Please call your lawyer directly.”
Wang Dao's face immediately changed, ”terminate? Are you making a mountain out of a molehill? Which actor doesn't change the script, you can change it if you are not satisfied. Let's discuss it. ” To be honest, his favorite actor in this group is Xiao Jiashu. He has excellent acting skills, mild temper, courtesy and dedication. As long as his part is made, it will be perfect according to the director's idea. It's really a relief.
He would rather be driven away by Qiu Du than Xiao Jiashu. In fact, he also knows that Xiao Jiashu is the only conscience left by the crew. If he is not here, the situation will be completely chaotic. So he thought about it and threatened, ”half of the play has been filmed. If you leave, the penalty is very high.”
”Who are you fooling? In less than a month, you can shoot half of them? ” Huang meixuan opened the contract and explained one by one, ”there are not many conscientious troupes now. As soon as I heard that Qiu Du is the male and Jiang Bingjie is the female, I expected that this would happen. You can see clearly that when signing the contract, we have clear provisions on Xiaoshu's rights and obligations. First, you can't cut his part; second, you can't damage his character; third, you can't change the script without permission. You must be strictly loyal to the original work. If you change it on the basis of respecting the original work, you can also inform us in writing Which of these terms have you achieved? If you break the contract first, we naturally have the right to cancel it. ”
Wang Dao was forced to retreat by Huang meixuan, so he had to find a lawyer to talk with them.
Waiting for the lawyer to arrive on the set, Huang meixuan pulls the little tree aside and asks, ”do you really decide not to shoot? In fact, we can change the script back as long as you like, but if you break the contract in the middle of the way, there may be rumors that are not good for you and affect your reputation. ”
Xiao Jiashu shook his head. ”Sister meixuan, now it's not about changing the script, but these people have never thought about making a good film. I've been here for almost a month. I've only met Jiang Bingjie twice. There are seven or eight doubles for Qiu Du. He keeps adding and changing plays to himself. The girl can't recite a large part of her lines, so she just crossed out the original lines. She summed up two sentences and said them casually. The director let her. There's another woman who's even more brilliant. She directly uses numbers instead of lines. I have to pick up her words at the right time. I'm almost insane, you know? In this drama group, my biggest achievement is that I learned to play a one-man show. Perfunctory is the norm, but serious efforts have become a different kind, which really subverts my three outlooks. ”
He wiped face, decadent way, ”Mei Xuan elder sister, I really don't plan to shoot again.”
”OK,” Huang meixuan rubbed his head and comforted, ”if you don't want to, we won't shoot.”
