Chapter 102 The Entertainment Industry is So Small
Chapter 102 The Entertainment Industry is So Small
"Hello, Mr. Huang, I'm Wang Hao!"
Wang Hao called Mr. Huang Lei and explained his intention. He then learned that his female student happened to be attending classes at school. So he made an appointment with her tonight through Mr. Huang and then devoted all his energy to the shooting task at hand.
As the main supporting character in "Fatal Call", Shi Qiang, played by Wang Jingchun, takes on the responsibility of reversing the entire film's plot as soon as he appears on the stage.
Before this, he was a gunman hiding in the dark, a deadly devil, and a crazy killing criminal.
However, when he appeared, the whole story took a shocking turn, explaining why sniping incidents occurred in downtown areas of big cities. It also added a bit of science fiction to the movie "The Call".
There is certainly nothing wrong with Wang Jingchun's performance. He graduated from the Acting Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy and is a veteran actor with a professional background. He started filming in 1998 and later also acted in dramas. His acting skills can be said to be outstanding.
In addition, his appearance and figure are very suitable for the role of Shi Qiang. With his good-and-evil appearance and superb acting skills, he perfectly interprets the image of an experienced, capable and decisive yet unruly old detective.
What's more important is that he is dedicated enough and not famous yet, so after Wang Hao's recent contact with Wang Jingchun, he directly signed a contract with Wang Jingchun for ten plays at one time.
Yes, signing a contract for ten plays at one time is very affordable.
This was a choice he made with reference to the development of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in his previous life.
You know, with the normal development of the movie universe, the value of the actors will inevitably rise.
It’s like when Robert Downey Jr. first starred in “Iron Man” in the future, because of his past criminal record, his salary was only $50.
However, after "Iron Man" became a hit, his salary increased 2 times to 20 million US dollars during the filming of "Iron Man 1000".
Afterwards, due to the core position of the role of Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Robert Downey Jr.'s salary has remained high. When he was filming "The Avengers" in 2012, it even reached 5000 million US dollars, which can be said to be extremely terrifying.
Therefore, Wang Hao prepared for the future and naturally chose to sign long-term contracts with many actors, signing all the movies that the actors might possibly participate in at one time.
This may cost a little more money in the early stage, but it will be more cost-effective in the later stage.
Moreover, in the movie universe, the actors chosen are mostly newcomers or people who are not very famous, so the actors' pay is lower and more cost-effective.
Anyway, Wang Hao has memory of the future and knows which actors will be popular in the future, so signing them in advance is a big advantage.
It was precisely based on this point that Wang Hao signed a contract with Wang Jingchun for ten plays at one time, deeply binding the role of Shi Qiang to him.
After all, this character is also an important character in the novel "The Three-Body Problem". In Wang Hao's design, he runs through the second phase of the entire science fiction movie universe and opens up the content of the third phase. Perhaps his importance is not as great as Iron Man in the Marvel Universe, but he is equivalent to Nick Fury.
After finishing today's scenes in the studio of Qingying Studio, Wang Hao arranged for the executive director to clean up the scene, while he left Qingying Studio and arrived at the Beijing Film Academy canteen at the agreed time.
Originally, he could have solved this kind of thing with just one phone call.
But thinking that the person was so close to the Beijing Film Academy campus, he finally went to the appointment in person to show respect.
On the first floor of the Beijing Film Academy cafeteria, in an inconspicuous corner, two girls were eating.
Suddenly, a young voice came from behind them.
"Excuse me, can I sit here?"
One of the girls couldn't help but frowned when she heard this. You know, since she became famous, even on campus, there are always many boys who like to get close to her and say some weird words to try to attract her attention.
She was really fed up with these uninvited harassments.
However, considering her classmate's status and the influence she had as a celebrity, she couldn't fall out with him and could only try to avoid him every time.
But even though she tried her best to avoid people, she would always encounter this situation.
"Sorry..." The girl's best friend seemed to be accustomed to this kind of thing. She spoke first to help her best friend refuse. However, before she could say anything, two cups of hot stewed pears with rock sugar were already placed in front of them.
"It's so cold, eating alone is not good for your stomach, drink something hot to help digest it!"
Wang Hao placed two cups of pear stewed with rock sugar in front of Liu Yifei and Jiang Yan and said with a smile.
Jiang Yan recognized him almost instantly. After all, she had paid attention to his situation before and even tried to contact him under the name of her best friend.
Of course, that thing did not succeed, but it left a deep impression on Jiang Yan, so as soon as she saw the other person, Jiang Yan recognized him.
In comparison, Liu Yifei's reaction was a beat slower.
"Sorry, classmate, we don't need this."
She did not recognize Wang Hao, the young director who had impressed her on the set of "Buried Alive", and thought that the boy in front of her was the same boy who had approached her before, so she refused him out loud.
Wang Hao laughed, "If you don't accept it, then I can't trouble you. How can I ask someone to do something for me without a gift?"
At this time, Jiang Yan had already leaned close to Liu Yifei's ear and whispered to her the other party's origins.
"Oh, it's Senior Brother Wang. Sorry, I thought..."
Liu Yifei explained somewhat awkwardly, but Wang Hao smiled and waved his hand to show his understanding.
"It's normal, it's normal. When I was young and on campus, there were always girls carrying water to me, which made me have to change clothes several times a day, so I understand your thoughts."
Wang Hao's exaggerated words immediately made the two little girls laugh, and it was not until this time that he explained his purpose.
"Has Teacher Huang told you about my visit?"
Liu Yifei nodded.
“Teacher Huang has told me about this, but I’m sorry, Senior Brother Wang.
It's almost the end of the semester, and I have to focus on my final exams. You know I filmed a lot in the first half of the year, so I don't have much time recently?"
Jiang Yan, who was standing by, was filled with jealousy when she heard what she said and she almost said it out loud.
'You don't have time, but I do, why don't you recommend me?'
However, Wang Hao looked at Liu Yifei in confusion, "No, didn't Teacher Huang explain this to you clearly?"
Seeing Liu Yifei shaking her head, he smiled and said:
"Yifei, you misunderstood, I didn't want to film with you.
I heard that you have a very good relationship with Shu Chang, so I wanted to ask you for her contact information.
Or you can help me contact her and tell her that I want her to make a cameo appearance in the movie's ending credits."
When Liu Yifei heard this, she was embarrassed again.
This afternoon, she heard from Teacher Huang that a senior who was filming a movie wanted to find her, so she naively thought that the other party wanted to find her to film a movie, and even struggled for the whole afternoon on how to politely and decisively refuse the other party.
However, it now seems that people just want her to be a middleman.
