Chapter 15 The Mystery of a Gentleman
The contract is signed.
Niu Lanshan readily "sold" Liu Wei to Lu Beijing's company. The contract period was three years. Within three years, Liu Wei had only one job, which was to film "The Legend of King Wu".
For a movie, this time is a bit long. Especially since Liu Wei has just debuted and is looking for exposure. At this time, spending three years on a movie is a bit too long.
But this is Lu Beijing's movie.
Moreover, Liu Wei is only nineteen years old, still very young. Niu Lanshan thinks that this time can wait. Three years later, Liu Wei will be the heroine of Lu Beijing's new movie on the 21st. Even though she has worked hard for the past three years, she has been filming variety shows every day.
, can you earn the status of a heroine in Lu Beijing's movies? No. Then the account is very clear.
After signing the contract, Liu Wei was packed up and taken away.
Liang Ping said that she would be trained. Because it was an ancient movie, Liu Wei's current dress was a bit too modern, so she needed to be trained in a closed manner.
Niu Lanshan said there was no problem and asked Liu Wei if there was any problem.
What could be wrong with Liu Wei? She now lives in the company's villa and is naked.
She could only say: "I also have a cat..."
Niu Lanshan had just signed a contract for Lu Beijing's movie, and said to Liu Wei as gently as water: "There is a nanny to take care of her, don't worry." He asked Liang Ping, "Can an assistant follow her?"
Liang Ping: "Okay."
Niu Lanshan looked at Ma Fen and Tang Xi. Tang Xi was obviously standing closer to Liu Wei.
He said to Tang Xi: "Xiao Tang? Right? You clean up and go to training with Sisi. Do you want to go home and clean up first and tell your family?"
Tang Xi quickly said: "Mr. Niu, my hometown is in Shandong. My parents are both there. I only went back during the Chinese New Year. I live with Sister Sisi now."
Niu Lanshan smiled and said, "That's okay. You go back, pack your and Sisi's luggage and go with them. Take good care of yourself and Sisi, and if anything happens, just ask Xiao Ma."
Ma Fen nodded immediately: "Okay, Mr. Niu. Xiao Tang, if you have anything, you can call me anytime. My phone is on 24 hours a day."
When Liang Ping came out, he asked Lu Beijing: "Where should I put them?"
It is said that training is required, but what can be trained? Where should the training be conducted?
The production crew is now shut down and there is no place for training.
Lu Beijing was the male lead. At that time, his training consisted of horse riding, swords, guns and sticks. Jiang Ji was a princess, did she need to practice these?
After finding Jiang Ji, Lu Beijing felt relaxed all over his body.
He said: "Everyone has been found, so why rest? Call everyone back and start work."
Liang Ping: "Then what should Jiang Ji practice?"
Lu Beijing: "Let her practice horse riding. By the way, she also needs to try on makeup and walk around in costume every day to get used to it. There is nothing else."
Liang Ping started the car: "Then you signed for three years in one go. This movie will be released in two years with post-production. Why did you sign for so long?"
Lu Beijing: "I'm afraid that their company will ruin people. I'm afraid that they will send people around randomly and let her go to any crew or any show. They will destroy all the good talents."
Liang Ping glanced at him: "You want to sign someone?"
Lu Beijing: "Her temperament is rare. Actresses' puberty is short, and her temperament will disappear at some point."
Liang Ping understood. Lu Beijing really wanted to sign this actress. He was the one who bought the goods if he disliked them. He was looking for faults because he was interested in them and was thinking about how to solve them. He was short of puberty and wanted to take advantage of others' youth while they were still there.
Take advantage of it.
Liang Ping: "She was trained by Excellent Era. The contract must be long, at least twenty years. Liquidated damages will definitely be inevitable. A star like her probably owes the company a lot of training fees. It's not easy for you to rob someone."
Lu Beijing closed his eyes and pondered, and said, "What do you think of her acting in my film "Records of a Cool Summer"?"
Liang Ping: "That anti-trafficking book?"
Another film script Lu Beijing competed for awards was a story about anti-trafficking. Qiao Ye, a college student played by Lu Beijing, discovered on the Internet that there was abduction and trafficking of women somewhere. On the way to investigate, he discovered that a female college student had been abducted. In order to rescue
The female college student who was trafficked died. In the end, because of Qiao Ye's timely call to the police and the information obtained from the preliminary investigation, the police rescued the trafficked female college student in time and arrested the criminal.
Among them, the role of a trafficked female college student is completely a tool, and the entire movie is still a one-man show for the mainland movie star. The script has been completed long ago. After the filming of "The Legend of King Wu" is completed, the investors will make money.
I will not invest in this movie that obviously has no commercial value.
Of course Lu Beijing values the script "Summer" more.
There are no logical loopholes in this script. Except for Lu Beijing, everyone else is a supporting character. The logic of the whole story is also very simple, that is, justice triumphs over evil. In order to create conflicts in the movie and make the whole plot impactful, the death of the male college student played by Lu Beijing is
It is necessary to destroy beauty for people to see. This is one of the aesthetics of movies.
Now Lu Beijing feels that he can add another conflict to the movie and let Liu Wei play the role of a kidnapped female college student. Her beauty is also a huge conflict destroyed by sin.
When Liang Ping thought of Liu Wei's beautiful face appearing in an anti-trafficking movie, his heart as a director immediately boiled!
Liang Ping was immediately moved: "Okay, it's very good. Investors will also be happy, and the movie will sell well."
Lu Beijing himself is very marketable. Adding a beautiful woman to the movie who is abducted is just like Lu Beijing playing a brother-sister relationship in the movie. It has a taboo excitement that will excite the audience and investors.
The ultimate boost to the movie's box office.
Moreover, Liang Ping likes Liu Wei's face. That beautiful face will give people a strong enjoyment when enlarged on the big screen. He has already thought about how to shoot it. Giving that face a three-minute freeze shot will definitely please the screen.
audience and judges.
But the selection of a director for "Summer" has not yet begun, and Lu Beijing may not let him direct. The director of an award-winning film is as important as the actor.
Of course Liang Ping wants to make "Summer". It is very good for him to make an award-winning film, but investors and Lu Beijing may not believe that he can make it well. But if the male and female protagonists of "Summer" are "Summer"
Considering that the male and female protagonists of "The Legend of King Wu" are better to use raw ones than familiar ones, the possibility of him filming "Summer" increases.
As long as Liu Wei can join "Summer", then Liang Ping may also join this project - at least he can persuade Lu Beijing and investors from this direction to hand over this project to him.
Liang Ping's thoughts changed quickly.
Lu Beijing: "However, Excellent Era will definitely charge a high price for the second contract."
Liang Ping: "Ah, that's right. Liu Sisi had already acted in one of your movies at that time. The price of the second movie will definitely go up, and he won't sell it to you easily. It seems like it would be cheaper for someone to sign it.
You can also use her for a few more years."
Lu Beijing sighed: "I hope her characteristics can be retained for a few more years and not disappear so quickly."
Liang Ping said briskly: "Just hurry up and sign the person over. If you get the person long ago, you can use her earlier. Go sign it, I think the little girl will agree immediately."
Lu Beijing rolled his eyes. He was not worried about how to convince Liu Wei. What troubled him was how to get Excellent Era to release him.
If he had known earlier, he should have snatched the person back from Excellent Era before talking about filming "The Legend of King Wu". Now that he has signed the contract for "The Legend of King Wu", it will definitely be harder for Excellent Era to let him go.
In vain, it makes it more difficult for him to poach people, and he digs a hole for himself.
Lu Beijing was in a bad mood.
The project of "The Legend of King Wu" had been suspended for four years, and suddenly it started to work, and everything was amazingly fast.
Liang Ping took Liu Wei's contract back to the company and assembled the crew in the afternoon. Except for Lu Beijing and Liu Wei, it didn't matter who played the other roles. Some people who had left in the past four years were also very important.
There will be a new person soon.
Lu Beijing deliberately wanted to give Liu Wei a closed environment and did not want her to be influenced by the outside world, so he took her directly to Guangxi, where the location was shot.
Guangxi has many mountains and rivers, few people, good scenery and beautiful natural scenery, which is very suitable for shooting.
Lu Beijing bought two villas in Guilin to accommodate the crew members during the filming. Over the past four years, the house prices increased slightly and he made a little money. He originally planned to sell one villa after the filming was completed and use the remaining villa in the future.
You can come and stay here when you are traveling and relaxing.
This time, he sent Liu Wei directly to the villa. In addition to the assistant assigned to her by Excellent Era, he also assigned a nanny and a driver from his company to take good care of the heroine.
When Liang Ping came over with the crew, more than twenty people were crowded into one villa. Hearing that Liu Wei lived alone in another villa, he felt that Lu Beijing was treating them differently.
He had long signed a contract with Lu Beijing's company and was regarded as his domestic director. At this time, he was competing with the heroine for favor.
Liang Ping: "The person is not yours yet, the treatment is just so good."
Lu Beijing: "If you can increase the investment of my movie by 30%, then you will also receive the same treatment."
The "The Legend of King Wu" project was officially launched, and Lu Beijing also began to show "Summer" to investors. He gave Liu Wei's photo to the investors and said that this was the heroine he had chosen. After the investors saw it, they relaxed in their investment.
Mouth, I am willing to invest 30 more than the originally promised amount.
Investors don’t care about awards, but rather how many people can enter the cinema. The reality genre has always been very unpopular. Although Lu Beijing is a box office guarantee, one guarantee is not as good as two guarantees. Of course it is better to add a beautiful woman, and the project will be more
Insurance.
Liang Ping hated that this was an era where faces were judged, and he felt aggrieved: "I only see new people smiling, but I don't hear old people crying."
In Lu Beijing's position, the director always coaxed him, but now that he is the boss, it is him who coaxes the director.
Lu Beijing coaxed the old man: "I am doing this to poach people. I asked Sister Tian to inquire about Excellent Era's contract to see how to recruit this person to save trouble. There are so many people here that it is difficult to inquire, you know."
Liang Ping was not angry when he heard that it was for poaching people. Poaching corners for the company was a serious matter. He came up with an idea: "I will design a few more scenes for you when the filming comes. You can give it a good show and pay more attention in private. No
I’m worried that I won’t be able to dig it out.”
Lu Beijing: "You are afraid that the paparazzi will not take pictures."
Liang Ping: "Is it true that I asked you to do something? Just be a gentleman. Gentlemen talk but don't do anything. It doesn't matter if you say a few cheap words."
Lu Beijing: "Thank you for trusting me."
Liang Ping: "What do you mean? You don't want to be a gentleman anymore?"
