"You can rest assured about this. With such a good reputation, we naturally rejected many temptations in order to produce high-quality products."
Shi Zhen has something to say about this issue of hunger.
It is very common in the entertainment industry to bring money into a group. If the sponsor is willing to support you, there is nothing you can do about it.
However, Shi Zhen still has his own principles on this matter. You can bring money into the group, but the prerequisite is that your acting skills can be recognized by him. In this case, it doesn't matter how much money you are willing to bring into the group.
But if your acting skills are not up to par, sorry, he won't compromise.
"Really? The reason why we were able to successfully resist the temptation is because the capital brought into the team was not enough?" Since they were talking about this, Lu Ziyao couldn't help but smile and tease.
Shi Zhen really thought about it for a moment: "It seems to be true. Generally speaking, when financial sponsors support young artists, they say they bring in money, but this capital is limited. Maybe my standards are too high, and their offer is too low."
Shi Zhen couldn't help but shake his head, then jokingly said seriously, "How come no one is willing to invest hundreds of millions? If so, I would definitely be obedient and do what they say."
"What the hell are you dreaming about!"
Wang Qian laughed when he heard Shi Zhen's words. "If they had that much money, why would they invest in your little drama? There are so many directors who are better than you, okay? What are you worthy of?"
“Tsk.”
Shi Zhen tutted in dissatisfaction, but soon sighed: "That's true, how can I be so worthy of such a thing?"
"Without hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, aren't all the films still high-quality and hits? This shows that ability is more important." Lu Ziyao is still very optimistic about her teacher and still feels that Qian Duoduo has put in a lot of effort this time.
"That's inevitable."
Shi Zhen is humble when he should be humble, and proud when he should be proud. After all, his achievements are there, and it is normal and not excessive to be a little proud.
After some jokes and some off-topic discussions, we returned to the main topic and continued the discussion.
"I understand what you mean. Let's have an open audition, fair competition, and admit the best." Shi Zhen's idea was basically the same as Lu Ziyao's.
If Actor Lu had not joined, he might have considered making an appointment with a popular actor. After all, it is better to have a topic that is popular than a drama with only new actors and no topic or attention at all!
The main reason why we make movies is to attract more people's attention and to attract more people to watch them, so we must definitely consider all aspects of the situation.
It's impossible to really ignore everything and not care whether you watch it or not. That would be just for fun.
But he is not such a person, and there is a reason why every one of his dramas is a masterpiece.
"Can."
Lu Ziyao has no objection to this, and she is not against popular actors, but she wants those with acting skills more.
As long as you have good acting skills, it doesn’t matter whether you have traffic or not.
"Do you want to come to the audition in person?" Everyone had reached a consensus on the selection of actors, and Shi Zhen asked again.
"I trust your judgment. I won't be going to the audition. I'm going to start preparing my costumes and props."
Lu Ziyao was still very confident in her teacher, and she had stated her requirements at the beginning, and she had reached a consensus with her teacher. So basically, there wouldn't be any major problems in the casting of actors.
Lu Ziyao believed this.
"ah?"
They could understand Lu Ziyao saying she was not going, but when she said she still had to prepare costumes and props, that was a bit beyond their expectations.
How to say it?
If this is true, then Lu Ziyao is definitely the busiest original author.
When many novels and comics are adapted into film and television dramas, the original authors do not participate much. Even if they do participate, they will not personally follow up on the costumes, props, etc.
"Are you serious?" Wang Qian looked at Lu Ziyao uncertainly and asked.
"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Lu Ziyao said seriously, "This is my first film or TV adaptation, so I take it very seriously."
"Because it's a comic, I hope that after it's adapted into a film or TV series, the costumes and props will be consistent with my drawings, so naturally I have to do it myself."
Of course, Lu Ziyao knew that her request seemed a bit high. If she asked others, it might be too much trouble for them, so she just did it herself.
"It seems someone is in charge of the costumes and makeup. Have you discussed this with them?"
Shi Zhen couldn't help but remind Lu Ziyao that since Lu Ziyao was not a professional, this part of the content had been contracted to a professional team from the beginning.
Therefore, if Lu Ziyao wants to get involved in the costumes and makeup, she needs to discuss it with them.
Lu Ziyao chuckled and said mysteriously, "Have you read the contract?"
Shi Zhen and Wang Qian couldn't help but glance at each other. "Contract? Is there something wrong with the contract?"
"What's wrong with the contract? Doesn't the contract stipulate that you have the final say on costumes and makeup?"
Wang Qian said this jokingly, but he didn't expect that Lu Ziyao actually nodded.
This shocked Wang Qian and his teacher.
"Yes, it's stipulated in the contract that my opinion on the script and costumes and makeup is final. You guys didn't even read the contract carefully and yet you still dared to sign it? You're really bold!"
Lu Ziyao had naturally done her homework in advance so that she wouldn't encounter any obstacles when she wanted to intervene in this matter, so she had made clear arrangements from the beginning.
"In fact, we have a separate contract with Emperor Entertainment. We don't have a separate contract for each drama."
Wang Qian then explained that they were under Emperor Entertainment and had signed different contracts.
"However, if this is stipulated in the contract between you and the company, then naturally your contract will prevail."
Shi Zhen and Wang Qian once again felt that Lu Ziyao really had someone behind her!
Otherwise, the contract would not have been signed like this. It really gave Lu Ziyao a lot of freedom and rights. But think about it, Lu Ziyao was able to attract actor Lu to perform. This is her ability, and it is only right to give her some benefits.
"If that's the case, there's no problem."
Shi Zhen nodded. He heard Lu Ziyao say that her opinion was the final one for the script. However, when thinking about the script during this period, Lu Ziyao did not act arrogantly or look down on others. Instead, she humbly learned a lot from Wang Qian and made continuous revisions.
Therefore, Lu Ziyao asked for such rights not because she wanted to cover up everything, but because she wanted the drama to develop in a better direction.
Speaking of which, Lu Ziyao also had a difficult time.
