The next day,
In the office, Qi Jiazheng and Chen Yuwen were talking about last night's variety show invitation.
The name of the variety show is "Actors Please Take Your Place", which is a new director casting reality show produced by Tencent.
Unlike traditional celebrity-oriented variety shows, this variety show focuses on the director.
The show uses this format to tell the audience how a script is transformed into a film and television work step by step.
Apart from this,
The rest of the format is similar to most variety shows.
According to the information sent by Chen Yuwen, the directors invited in the first season of the show are,
Er Dongsheng, Chen Shishi, Li Shaohong and Xiao Si.
Among the directors, except Li Shaohong, the other three are men, and many people are familiar with them.
Only Li Shaohong is relatively unfamiliar, but she is also a famous director who has achieved success in both film and television.
In the film industry, when she first entered the industry, she partnered with another famous director Xie Tieli,
and made a very classic critical reality film "Bao's Father and Son". Even if you haven't seen it,
you must have seen that line on Douyin,
"Oh, me too, I also used Stancom."
In TV series, she has directed the 2008 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", "The Song of the Palace", "The Ming Palace" and other excellent works.
Seeing Qi Jia laughing while looking at the list of directors, Chen Yu couldn't help but ask in confusion,
"What are you laughing at?"
Qi Jia smiled and pointed at the name of Director Shi, and said to Chen Yuwen,
"Excuse me, I searched these four on Douyin last night,
and I saw that when selecting the opening ceremony plan of the Olympics,
everyone honestly made a good plan and submitted it, but Director Shi didn't prepare anything.
After everyone finished talking about their plans, he confidently went up and read two lines of poetry, and then was eliminated."
"So, now I want to laugh when I see his name."
Chen Yuwen also heard about this Having said that, she looked at Qi Jia speechlessly and warned,
"Just laugh it off in private, but don't go out and tell everyone about it. Director Shi is a face-conscious person."
"I know," Qi Jia nodded seriously,
Chen Yuwen asked him again, "Do you mean to accept it or not?"
"Ten million per episode, of course!" Qi Jia nodded without hesitation,
The program team offered Qi Jia a price of ten million per episode, for a total of ten episodes,
But since the competition format adopted by the program is a promotion and elimination system, that is to say, how many episodes of appearance fees can he get in the end,
It depends on Qi Jia's acting skills, how long can he survive on the stage?
Chen Yuwen just nodded, Qi Jia suddenly said, "By the way, can you talk to your director friend and include Ruonan in the list? Tencent's variety shows must be popular, and she is now an artist in our studio. With such a good opportunity, let her get more exposure. With me on stage, I can also attract a lot of traffic to her." "You don't need me to tell you." Chen Yuwen rolled his eyes and continued, "I mentioned it to him last night, and he said he wanted to discuss it. He just sent me a message today, saying that it's okay, two million per issue, and if there is no problem, we can sign the contract together." Two million per issue is a very face-giving price for a small transparent person like Zhang Ruonan. Qi Jia didn't think much about it and agreed directly, asking Chen Yuwen to sign a contract with his friend as soon as possible, so as not to let the sponsor run away. Just after talking about the variety show, Qi Jia called again.
This time the call came from an unfamiliar number. Qi Jia thought it was asking him if he wanted a loan.
But after hesitating for a while, he still answered it.
As soon as the call was connected, a familiar Cantonese voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Qi Jia, this is Liu Qingyun, do you remember me?"
"Teacher Liu, of course I remember! It's been a long time since we last met in Hengdian. You taught me a lot~"
Qi Jia was very surprised. He didn't expect to receive a call from Liu Qingyun.
Since they separated in Hengdian last time, they have no contact.
Then, he thought again that Liu Qingyun said he would introduce him to resources. Could it be that this time it was for that matter?
"Hahaha, I was in Hengdian at the time, and I was so sleepy that I forgot to leave your phone number. This time I specifically asked Guoxiang for it.
Are you in Shanghai now? Do you have time to come to Longfenglou for dinner? I'll introduce two friends to you."
Qi Jia agreed without hesitation.
"No problem, Mr. Liu, give me the address and I'll go there now."
Just kidding, the person who can be called a friend by Liu Qingyun can only be an ordinary person. Most likely, he is a big shot in the Hong Kong circle.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yuwen saw Qi Jia's happy face and couldn't help asking curiously,
"Who called you?"
Qi Jia answered while opening the mini program to call a taxi,
"Liu Qingyun, I was in Hengdian before.When I was an extra, I said a few words to him.
He suddenly came to me this time, I guess he has a play to introduce to me. "
After saying that, the car was ready.
Qi Jia hurriedly got up and walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said to Chen Yuwen,
"By the way, sister, please buy me a car when you have time. It should be within one million yuan, for transportation. "
His original private car has been returned to Jiaxing, so now he can only take a taxi to go out.
…
On the other side, in the Longfenglou box,
In addition to Liu Qingyun, there are two other middle-aged men.
One of them has long hair and looks like a band member in Hong Kong in the 80s and 90s.
The other has a short haircut and a square face, which makes people like him at first sight.
The middle-aged man who looks like a band member shook his flowing long hair and said happily,
"Qingyun, I didn't expect that you and Qi Jia actually know each other. Whether you can convince him to participate this time depends on you."
When Liu Qingyun heard this, he waved his hand carelessly,
"Don't worry, Qi Jia is different from the mainland fresh meat you have met before.
Although he is young, he has good acting skills and is dedicated. His character and artistic ethics are absolutely trustworthy.
Let alone the mainland directors, even Guo Xiang praised him non-stop, didn't he?
So, just put your heart at ease. ”
At this time, the square-faced middle-aged man also nodded and spoke up,
"That should be true. I have also heard many mainland directors and actors praise him.
Moreover, the recent hot searches in the domestic entertainment news are almost all related to him, and even the official has supported him.
If he can be invited to participate, it will really help save the market of Hong Kong films in the mainland. ”
After saying that, seeing that the long-haired man still looked uneasy, he smiled again and said,
"At worst, Qingyun and I will ask him together. I hope that he, a young man, can give me some face, haha."
The long-haired man smiled bitterly and bowed to the two of them,
"Then I'll ask you all. The main reason is that the salary is too low. I don't know if he is willing. "
While the three were talking, Qi Jia had already arrived at the Dragon and Phoenix Building.
After telling the room number, the waiter led Qi Jia to the door of the room.
After knocking on the door, he pushed the door open and invited Qi Jia in.
As soon as he entered the door, Qi Jia's eyes stayed on Liu Qingyun's face for only a second,
Then he was attracted by the square-faced middle-aged man. He walked forward with surprise,
and excitedly stretched out his hand to shake the other party's hand.
"Hello, Brother Hua, I didn't expect that the person that Teacher Liu said he wanted to introduce me to on the phone was you. I'm so excited."
Seeing Qi Jia's attitude towards Liu Dehua, it was like a fan seeing an idol.
The long-haired man suddenly felt relieved, and then he was happy again.
"Hey, Qi Jia, this is not okay. You call Dehua brother and call me teacher.
Doesn't that make me look old? No, you have to call me brother in the future. "
Liu Qingyun stood up and made a joke, which was considered to warm up the dinner.
Qi Jia also laughed and replied: "Blame me, blame me, haha, I will punish myself with three cups later."
"Qi Jia, I have been hearing Guo Xiang and Qingyun praising you in Hong Kong.
Today I finally saw the real person. Not bad, very energetic."
Liu Dehua was very satisfied with Qi Jia's polite attitude. He smiled and patted his shoulder vigorously.
"Come on, Qi Jia, let me introduce you to this handsome guy."
Liu Qingyun patted the long-haired man on the shoulder and introduced Qi Jia,
"This is Director Qiu Litao."
