Chapter 51 0051: Is It Really that Smooth?
Jiang Ge naturally nodded in agreement, still using the universal excuse: "I wrote it for fun when I was free."
Chen Gan did not delve into the matter, and returned to the topic of "investment". He laughed and said: "Just because you wrote this, this project must be invested!"
Jiang Ge did not get too happy too early. Investments are divided into large and small. What is needed is not the millions of politeness between friends. He tactfully reminded: "I mean an investment of more than eight figures."
Chen Gan smiled and said: "I understand. Recently, I am short of money. I can't invest even if I want to. I will persuade my father to invest."
As he said, he raised three fingers and said: "I can't guarantee how much money you can get, but don't worry, it won't be less than 30 million."
There are differences between friends, especially in their circle, most of them are superficial friends, and Jiang Ge is someone he thinks he can make friends with sincerely. This "Little Fish and Flower" will definitely not lose money, and he doesn't expect to make much money from it. Just think of it as helping a good friend.
The most important thing is that Jiang Ge picked a good time to talk about this. He happened to return to normal life, and his parents were very happy, so it was much easier to talk about various things. In the past, even if it was an investment that was 100% sure to make money, it would be difficult to get even if there was one zero missing, let alone 30 million.
In fact.
Jiang Ge also understood the human relationship.
He never cheated his friends. What he said just now was the truth. This "Little Fish and Flower" can really be compared with that "Jianghu Yeyu Ten Years Sword", and it is really a sure win.
The two chatted for a long time in the office. When they looked at the time, they found that there was only half an hour left before the end of get off work.
"Do you have any plans later?" Jiang Ge asked Chen Gan.
"I have an appointment with my parents to go to the "Fish and Rice Water Village" to eat fish in the evening. I heard that the taste is very good. How about joining us?" Chen Gan made an invitation.
Jiang Ge replied: "This is a gathering of your family, I won't ruin the atmosphere, next time, I will visit uncle and aunt next time."
Chen Gan didn't force it, and said: "Then, you wait for my news tonight."
Jiang Ge smiled and nodded: "Thank you."
When sending Chen Gan back, he happened to meet Mo Lan, who reported a good news to him with a smile on her face. The five actors and one director who had just been decided by several people agreed to take the play "Little Fish and Flowerless" and would come for auditions this week.
Jiang Ge was in a good mood. The script was revised, the investment was raised, and the actors and directors were settled. It was a bit like a triple blossom. The excitement led to excessive dopamine secretion. He was really generous and treated everyone in the company to a big meal after get off work.
It was ten o'clock in the evening when he got home.
After taking a shower, Jiang Ge received a WeChat video from Chen Gan and was told that his father would invest 35 million in the play "Little Fish and Flowerless" in the name of Futian Real Estate Company.
Jiang Ge thanked Chen Gan again, and ended the video chat only when Chen Gan couldn't stand it anymore.
Everything went smoothly. After hanging up the phone, he lost all sleepiness.
He turned on the computer and browsed through the photos and film and television clips of the five actors.
At this time, the psychological "multi-viewing effect" was produced, that is, the more familiar things are, the more they like them. How to look at these actors, how to suit the corresponding roles.
Whether it can surpass the original version is not important. What is important is that these actors can collide with sparks during the filming and perform a "Little Fish and Flower" that belongs to them.
Jiang Ge turned off the computer, lay down on the bed, resting his hands on the back of his head, staring at the ceiling.
Xiao Li has contacted the extras, the costume and props group, and the Hengdian Film and Television City venue. He only needs to wait for the actors to finish the audition and sign the contract before he can officially start filming.
The time is almost the last few days of the deadline, so there is no need to worry about breach of contract and compensation.
And this time, not only do we have to avoid breach of contract and compensation, but we also have to revive martial arts dramas and make a big splash in the summer season next year.
Tonight, Jiang Ge slept soundly. After working for half a month, it was finally worth it.
In the next few days.
The actors were auditioned one after another. The first one to come was director Huang Tao. After chatting for a while, they all felt that the other party was to their liking. The shooting concept was surprisingly consistent. They reached a cooperation on the spot, and they almost cut off the chicken head and burned yellow paper to swear brotherhood.
Several actresses also had no problem and signed the contract smoothly.
It seemed.
Everything was developing in the direction they hoped.
——————
October 24, Friday.
In Hangzhou in late autumn and early winter, rain is still the main theme. Early in the morning, drizzle came.
Huafeng Media has a rain Buff. As long as it rains, there will always be unsatisfactory things happening.
At this time.
In the conference room, Shi Lei, the actor of Hua Wuque, was auditioning, and opposite him were Jiang Ge and Huang Tao.
[Hua Wu Que: I'm sorry, I was bewitched by the master's magic, so I was confused
Tie Xinlan: Then I was also bewitched by Jiang Yuyan's magic when she kissed me in the woods?
Hua Wu Que: She blocked an arrow for me at that time, and I was taking drugs to heal her wounds. ]
…
[Xiao Yu'er: Why didn't you die?
Hua Wu Que: I didn't die. I was cooking just now and came out when I heard someone crying.
Xiao Yu'er: You're cooking? ]
…
[Hua Wu Que: Wu Que's heart has long died with the woman I love! ]
…
"Mr. Shi, that's enough." Jiang Ge didn't let Shi Lei continue to act out the plot, but said, "Can you show me some martial arts poses?"
Shi Lei has acted in action scenes and studied systematically. Although he is not a professional from a martial arts school or a martial arts team, he looks pretty good.
Jiang Ge thought it was OK. He originally estimated that Shi Lei and Hua Wu Que would be 90% compatible. After three scenes, the compatibility has increased to 9.9%. So he asked Huang Tao next to him, "What do you think, Director Huang?"
Huang Tao was not very satisfied with the casting of Hua Wu Que, because he knew that most of Shi Lei's movies and TV series were awful, and his web series would be terrible.
However, after the audition, he had a new understanding of Shi Lei. His acting skills were not that bad. With a little guidance, he would have no problem playing the role of Hua Wu Que.
He nodded and said admiringly, "Director Jiang has a unique vision."
Jiang Ge accepted the compliment, then took out a folder, put it in front of Shi Lei, and said with a smile, "Mr. Shi, this is the contract."
"Are you sure you want me to act?" Shi Lei was a little bit unbelieving.
Since he was labeled as a "box office poison", fewer and fewer people have asked him to act. Even his agent felt that it was meaningless to stick with him and applied to the company to bring in newcomers.
His mentality was on the verge of collapse. When he got the script of "Little Fish and Flowerless", he saw a glimmer of hope. He liked it very much and had the urge to act for the first time.
But his original intention to become a good actor has never changed. He has never taken the path of "playing badly", so he was worried that the other party didn't know his situation.
Little did he know that Jiang Ge understood very well that he must first make a basic understanding when looking for an actor: "Sure, Director Huang and I both think that Mr. Shi is very suitable for the role of Hua Wuque."
Shi Lei hadn't received a play for two years. This sudden beauty made him want to cry a little. He held back his tears and tried to open his mouth. But among the hundreds of words of thanks, he only said: "Thank you!"
Jiang Ge could feel the sincerity in these two words.
Shi Lei's problem is that those directors drew a circle for him, asking him to act like this or like that, which completely constrained his acting skills, resulting in the characters he presented being unnatural, incongruous, and extremely awkward.
To be honest, he is much better than Nicholas Tse, who could only have a "cold expression of facial paralysis" when he was young.
"Welcome to join!"
"Happy cooperation!"
