The launch conference of "Insidious" was attended by many stars and big names.

Originally, according to the plan, the crew did not plan to hold a launch press conference, but due to sudden changes, under heavy pressure from the outside world, the press conference was held ahead of schedule.

As a rule, some press conferences are held a week or half a month before the start of production, and some are held two or three days before the start of production. However, most crews do not hold them because the investment scale is small and the cast is simple and cannot be invited.

Able to maintain a decent amount of media.

The crew of "Insidious" originally belonged to the third type, but after the producer invested 80 million, it completely changed the situation.

With the exception of Xu Rong, the main cast of the crew has almost completely changed their cast. Liu Yunlong won the role of Li Ya with his rich qualifications, and veteran actor Li Liqun starred in Wu Jingzhong. As for the role of Lu Qiaoshan, he won the role of Li Ya in "Family with Children".

During the almost face-to-face fight between Gao Yalin and Li Youbin, who are known for the role of "Xia Donghai", Xu Rong stretched out his hand to pull the frame. In the end, Li Youbin had the last laugh. As for the role of Ma Kui, Jiang Wei chose to use the

"Assembly" Zhang Hanyu is a mess.

In terms of actresses, the adjustment was also not small. The first female lead, Wang Cuiping, was finally cast by Gong Li, the second female lead, Zuo Lan, fell into the hands of Zhang Ziyi, and the third female lead was still the original classmate of Xiao Zhang.

The press conference has not yet begun, and reporters from hundreds of media outlets are as if they have been shot. Their faces are red and their necks are thick, and they want to jump up and down.

"Gong Li, it is rumored that you have reduced your salary to star in "Latent", and it is also a TV series. What is the reason?"

Gong Li smiled and said: "Xu Rong is the actor I most want to work with. If he doesn't make a movie, I can only make a TV series..."

"Ring ring ring."

"Ring ring ring."

Xu Rong rubbed his groggy eyes and looked out the window. It was dawn.

The dream was quite beautiful.

After filming the Baiqueling commercial, Xu Rong returned to the capital and sorted out his plans for this year. He was embarrassed by this sort of sorting out.

Because as of now, he only has two projects that he has accepted but have not yet started shooting. One of them will not start filming until after the Chinese New Year next year. The other one is "Latent", and Jiang Wei has been scratching his head recently to find suitable actors.

Ultimately, the problem lies in one word, money.

Jiang Wei's plan was to hire a few actors with superb professional skills, but when people heard the quotation, they immediately shook their heads and refused.

No matter how good the script is, if there is no money to support it, it will inevitably cut corners and meet deadlines, which will ultimately affect the quality of the finished product. After all, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

After all, Jiang Wei's reputation is not as good as Uncle Li's, and he can make big names willingly pay less to star in the film.

Regarding "Latent", Xu Rong had an ideal lineup in mind.

It's hard to think about taking pictures just as he wanted.

Of course, the budget would have to be at least 80 million to be able to afford it.

He could only listen to Jiang Wei's complaints from time to time, and sometimes comfort him. He understood what the other party meant and really tried his best.

"Latent" is scheduled to start shooting in the second half of the year, and this is the only film he has signed this year.

Of the remaining scripts handed over, another one is quite good. Because it failed the review and needs major revision, it will definitely not be able to start filming this year. As for the others, there are obvious irrationalities in the plot logic, and some

It's called a spy war, but it's actually about love between a man and a woman.

In the original plan, he planned to take on three dramas this year, two with good scripts, good directors, and serious shooting, and another one that would make money as a reward for himself. Although it was a reward, it was not out of deception.

Instead, choose the one with the highest pay among relatively good scripts.

Of the 12 million yuan in endorsement fees from Bai Qiling, only 4.32 million was attributed to him. He only took 1.32 million, and the other 3 million was used to repay the company's debts.

He still owes the company 12 million and Li Youbin 1 million.

According to normal assumptions, we will accept one or two more endorsements next year, then three dramas this year, and three dramas next year. Basically, we will be able to repay the debt before the interest-free period.

By this time, he had become more determined not to renew the contract after it expired. The money he was earning now was already worth the company's previous investment in himself, and the contract period was still two and a half years old, which was considered a drop in the bucket.

The grace of Yongquan has been repaid.

When he got up and washed up, Xu Rong glanced at the system again out of habit.

Acting training system

Name: Xu Rong

Expression:A

Lines:A

Limb:B

Eyes: B

Rhythm:A

Overall rating: A-

Experience value: 0/100

Glory value: 0/100

Trait: Baji Grandmaster (not mounted) Baji Introduction (analysis progress: 66%)

After four days of advertising shooting, he didn't gain any experience points, which was helpless. He actually understood that to the current point, every improvement was a qualitative leap.

The only consolation is probably that due to the popularity of "Crossing the Guandong" and the endorsement of Bai Qingling, the glory value has skyrocketed slightly, and the "Baji Beginner" trait analysis progress has reached 66%.

However, the overall evaluation of A- is enough for now. If Tong Zirong is free for a while, we will see if we can study again.

He still has a lot of things to do, such as waiting for Xiao Zhang to finish class in the afternoon and taking her to look at the furniture. The house has been delivered and is being decorated. The two discussed it and finally decided to decorate it in Western style. Looking at

There are quite a lot of rooms, but when the two of them added them together, they realized that there were not enough rooms at all.

At the strong request of Xiao Zhang, one room was installed with a sound insulation layer and reserved for singing. Xu Rong wanted to change one room into a practice room and install a huge mirror on one wall.

Standing in the yard or on the terrace, Xiao Zhang cannot let his dancing skills go to waste.

In addition, a study room and a gym have been reserved. Except for some other necessary items, the rest are reserved as bedrooms, because my grandfather will not be well in the future and he will have to take them over sooner or later. In addition, there is also Xiao Zhang’s father.

Mom may have to move here after she retires, and if she invites an aunt and future children, she will need four or five guest rooms.

For this reason, they could only move the singing room and gym to the basement. The villa only had two floors and only so many rooms. Plus the kitchen, dining room, and bathroom, it was too tight.

Although there is another building next to it, Xu Rong plans to sell that building in four or five years when the price is high enough.

In the morning, he also had to meet with Gao Xixi to dub a few scenes for "The Big Deal" that were mixed with co-track noise during filming.

In addition, he also planned to talk to Gao Xixi about "New Three Kingdoms". The casting process had already begun, but Gao Xixi only said to reassure him that it must be an important role, but he did not reveal anything about which important role it was.

He didn't believe the language arts of these veterans at all. Before he got the script of "Crossing the Guandong", Wang Wenjie deceived him that "Zhu Chuanwen" was the soul figure and the proper male lead. As a result, although

I survived from the first episode to the last episode, but speaking of it, I didn’t appear in too many scenes.

What he was looking forward to was not an "important role", but Cao Cao. He had asked Gao Xixi once on the phone before, but Gao Xixi always laughed and laughed and did not give a clear answer at all.

"Hey, Xiao Xu, your recitation of the lines is a little different from before?" After recording a message, Gao Xixi took off his earphones in surprise and asked.

Xu Rong smiled and said: "People have to make progress, right? We can't always stand still, right?"

Gao Xixi frowned and said, "That's what I say, but your progress is too fast. How about we all use dubbing?"

Xu Rong thought about it for a moment, shook his head, and said: "The few sentences just now are a little gentler. They are basically all skills. If they are all dubbed, there will be no atmosphere at the time, and the emotions of some scenes may not be as high as they were during filming."

Saying this, Xu Rong sighed silently. According to his estimate, he still had a lot of room for improvement in terms of lines. If he continued to learn from Tong Zirong, he would still have to earn more than one million yuan.

Hua, but in addition to dubbing, Tong Zirong also accepted many variety shows. After recording one program, he was able to teach him for half a month.

This is a fairly easy account to calculate clearly.

However, he is not in a hurry. According to Tong Zirong's character, it is estimated that he will be able to spare time in just half a year.

Habits developed over more than sixty years could never be changed, and from what he saw, Tong Zirong had no intention of changing.

After the recording was finished, Xu Rong saw that it was almost noon, so he didn't tell Gao Xixi, so he just sat in the corridor and waited for Gao Xixi to finish his work.

After about ten minutes, Gao Xixi came out from the cleaning room. He stood up and said, "Director Gao, can we have lunch together?"

"You didn't leave?" Gao Xixi looked at him in shock, "Hey, why didn't you say something? I thought you were leaving when you waved at me before."

Xu Rong smiled and said: "I don't have anything important to do. The most important thing is that the play can be screened on time."

"Who are you planning to sell to?"

Gao Xixi said without thinking: "It must be the south, preferably the Magic City. After all, the story is about there. CCTV relies on its large size and keeps prices down too hard. If it relies on connections, it won't make much money at all."

.”

"Yes." Xu Rong nodded and changed the subject, "Director, how are the preparations for the new play going?"

Gao Xixi glanced at Xu Rong, and now she vaguely understood his purpose, and said with a smile: "You, I said you can't just wait for me to eat, so that's just right, I'm about to call you for a chat."

The two of them found a nearby hotel, asked for a private room, and sat down. Xu Rong didn't take it lightly and asked, "Director, I heard that the role of Cao Cao has not been decided yet?"

"Let's order two each and stop drinking. I have to continue to be busy in the afternoon." Gao Xixi pushed the menu in front of Xu Rong and sighed, "I was worried and afraid. It was originally an appointment.

They all regretted it after one night, and some said they would consider it, but as soon as they thought about it, nothing came of it. The only one who has agreed is Chen Jianbin, but he didn't say he was sincere."

Xu Rong casually ordered two dishes, pretending not to care and said, "Director, what do you think of me?"

Gao Xixi glanced at him sideways and said with a smile: "Keep it in your heart, I'll save the role for you. Sun Quan, a proper second male lead, how about it, is it interesting?"

Xu Rong grinned and said: "This role is good, but it's not suitable for me to play Sun Quan, right?"
