Chapter 26 New Characters
Lu Yuqi came to the company early in the morning, waiting for Director Li to arrive. Director Li was very punctual. Not only did he come himself, he also brought a surprising man.
"Hello, Director Shang." Seeing the man behind Director Li, Liu Jiahe quickly stood up and greeted him.
Lu Yuqi didn't know who it was at first, but when he heard Liu Jiahe calling "Director Shang", he knew who it was.
Director Shangkun particularly likes to make martial arts films. The martial arts films he made can be said to have influenced a generation, but he hasn't had a new film in many years and people thought he had retired.
Lu Yuqi was able to know so much thanks to Xiao Chen. When Xiao Chen and Lu Yuqi came to the new company, he found a lot of information about actors and directors, and he taught Lu Yuqi about them every day. Although Lu Yuqi felt annoyed sometimes, he knew that Xiao Chen was doing it for his own good, so he would listen to what Xiao Chen said in his free time and take note of a lot.
Today, this is just
It reflects the benefits of popular science.
"Hello, Director Li, hello, Director Shang." Lu Yuqi also stood up following Liu Jiahe and greeted the two directors.
"Sit down, sit down. No need to be so formal." Director Li responded with a smile and sat down on the sofa. Director Shang, who was sitting next to him, didn't say anything and also sat next to Director Li.
"Let's not be polite. Let me get straight to the point." Director Li sat down and got straight to the point: "My old friend is going to shoot a new drama. There is a role in it. Now,:: I haven't found a suitable person. I recommend Yuqi. My old friend came here today because he wanted to see the real person."
"Oh, Director Shang is going to shoot a new drama. Is it a martial arts drama?" Liu Jiahe was obviously very interested in Director Shang's new drama.
"Well, a martial arts drama. I've heard and seen your martial arts skills from Director Li, and they're really good. I'm very satisfied with your appearance. I'm also quite satisfied with your appearance, and I think it fits the role very well. Your acting skills, although a little flawed, but I think you've been trained by Director Hong.
It should also make sense to teach. At present, I am quite satisfied with all aspects. ”
When Lu Yuqi heard Director Shang say this, he felt that he seemed to like him in every aspect, but with such a long preparation at the beginning, he always felt that there would be a big twist later.
"This time the role is a eunuch, a handsome eunuch with great martial arts skills and a high position." Director Shang said and looked at Lu Yuqi deeply.
"Um... Is it the villain boss?"
Lu Yuqi's question was a little unexpected to Director Shang. Shangkun thought that young actors or idol actors like Lu Yuqi would be more concerned about the identity of the role.
Shangkun has looked at several young male actors, but either they are not good at fighting scenes or their acting skills are not good enough. There were male actors with good acting skills and whose appearance Shangkun thought was more suitable for the role, but when they heard that they were going to play a eunuch, they all declined with various excuses.
There has been no satisfactory actor for the role of Shang Kun yet, and since he is a relatively important and necessary role in the drama, it is not easy to delete him, as deleting him would make the plot incomplete.
Shang Kun has not filmed for many years. Ever since his last martial arts drama, which hit a record low, the media have said that he has run out of ideas and his films are getting worse and worse. Netizens have also started to say that his films are getting worse and worse.
With various capitals involved, the story was no longer the one he wanted to shoot at the beginning. More internet trolls came into the picture, saying that he was the bully of the crew and that he made martial arts films without caring about the lives of the actors. Shangkun wanted to explain, but no one listened to his explanation. Shangkun couldn't help but feel discouraged.
This time, under the persuasion of his family, he wanted to make a movie in which he had the final say and which he wanted to make. Even if the final result was still not ideal, he would not have any regrets.
Without other investors, Shangkun could be said to have invested all his assets. Funds were limited, and if he didn't find a satisfactory actor or couldn't start filming, there would be an extra layer of variables. Shangkun couldn't help but get anxious and angry, with bubbles coming out of his mouth.
Director Li heard the news that Shangkun was going to prepare for a new drama, but after waiting for a long time, there was no other explanation, so he came to find him. Unexpectedly, what he saw was Shangkun with blisters in his mouth due to being tortured by a role.
After hearing about Shangkun's difficulties, Director Li thought of Lu Yuqi first. Lu Yuqi met Shangkun's requirements in all aspects, so he showed Shangkun the behind-the-scenes footage of Lu Yuqi's fighting scenes and filming clips during her time in Legend of Yunmeng. Director Li also felt that Lu Yuqi would not mind the role as long as the script was good. He just didn't know if there would be any time conflicts.
Director Li is a man of action, and Shangkun is not a person who would hesitate, so the two decided to contact Lu Yuqi directly and brought the script with them. If both parties felt it was okay, then they would decide.
"He's a villain." Director Shang answered honestly.
"Excellent martial arts skills and a high position! I'll take it!" Lu Yuqi felt that this role would definitely be very exciting to film!
"Ahem, ahem." Liu Jiahe interrupted Lu Yuqi, whose eyes were shining with excitement.
"Director Shang, can I take a look at the script first? Also, when do you plan to shoot? If we agree to this role, when do we sign the contract?" As a gold medal agent, Liu Jiahe remained calm at the critical moment.
"Here's the script for you. You can take a look at it first. If you think it's okay, you can sign the contract now. I've brought the contract with me."
Shangkun was well prepared and handed the contract and script directly to Liu Jiahe. Liu Jiahe took it, handed the script to Lu Yuqi, and looked down at the contract carefully.
Lu Yuqi took the script and took a look. It was a simple script with only a few pages, which mainly briefly described the story line and main characters.
The old emperor was terminally ill and in a coma. The entire court is controlled by the prince. As long as the old emperor passes away, the prince will ascend the throne smoothly. The eunuch played by Lu Yuqi can be said to be second only to the emperor. He controls everything in the palace and is highly valued by the old emperor. Everyone in the court knows that he is a knife of the old emperor. When the old emperor was in a coma, he frequently visited the favored Sixth Prince, and thus a rivalry between the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince began in the court.
Although the script is only a few pages long, it is very exciting and addictive to read.
"No problem, let's sign." Liu Jiahe stuffed a pen into Lu Yuqi's hand and asked him to sign. Lu Yuqi, trusting Liu Jiahe, signed his name directly.
"Director Shang, this complete script..."
Shangkun looked at Lu Yuqi's ready signing and suddenly felt relieved. A big problem had been solved!
Then, he was amused by Lu Yuqi's obsession with the script: "I will send the script to your email later. After I have arranged it, I will inform you of the time to join the crew. During this time, you should memorize more lines. One more thing,
I need you to lose weight. Your current figure looks very healthy. What I need is a thinner figure. ”
"Okay, Director Shang, I will arrange for him to lose weight." Liu Jiahe readily took on the task.
