Chapter 991: Brother Fan is still generous!
The guest roles played by Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang were not very many, and the filming was completed in two days.
However, Lin Fan was not stingy with his praise: "It's OK. Your acting skills have improved a lot compared to before. These shots were all done in one take. Even if you go out to film the third or second male lead in a movie in the future, there will be absolutely no problem."
But the male lead still lacks a little bit of momentum.
However, this also depends on the setting of the male protagonist in the script. If the setting of the male protagonist is close to the image and temperament of Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang themselves, then there will be no problem at all for them to act.
Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang are very clear about how good Lin Fan's vision is. Lin Fan said this, which shows that his acting skills have indeed improved a lot.
Lu Bingyang was very happy: "Thank you, Brother Fan, for your kind words! I recently received a movie script and am considering whether to act in it. If Brother Fan thinks my acting skills are acceptable, then I will take it without any worries."
Li Xiaodong also congratulated Lu Bingyang: "That's great, Brother Lu, you've even received a movie script!"
Lin Fan also said: "Do you need me to help you look at the book?"
With all the cheats the system gave him, Lin Fan helped Lu Bingyang to confirm the quality of the script, and there was no problem at all.
Lu Bingyang was not polite, but said: "I only have a small part of the script at the beginning. Can you tell anything from it?"
For people like Lu Bingyang, the scripts they receive are mostly not the entire content, but only part of it. Then there will be a note at the back of the script about the character played by Lu Bingyang, how many scenes there are, how many minutes of footage there are, the general direction of the plot, etc.
In short, if you want to get the complete script, you have to wait until you sign the performance contract.
Compared to Lu Bingyang, Li Xiaodong is much happier. He can read all the scripts of his own company.
Well, of course, Lai Siu-tung had no choice. Lin Fan gave him the script and specifically asked him to act, so he had no choice but to act.
However, Lin Fan would not cheat Lai Siu-tung. The scripts he brought out were very suitable for Lai Siu-tung, both in terms of quality and fit with the characters, so there was no need for Lai Siu-tung to be picky.
Lu Bingyang is different from Li Xiaodong. He has to choose the script carefully. If he accidentally picks a bad movie, it will really ruin the good reputation he has accumulated in the early days.
"It's about the same. Let me take a look first." Lin Fan didn't promise.
With only a part of the script, it is really impossible to determine whether its quality is good or bad. Lin Fan's opinion can only be used as a reference. Whether to accept it in the end depends on what Lu Bingyang thinks.
Lu Bingyang asked his assistant to bring the script over and handed it to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took a look and found that it was really just the first small part, which could be said to be just the beginning. He had no idea what happened afterwards or what plot changes there were.
Lin Fan was helpless now, but: "I can't see anything in your script. But there is another way to help you identify certain problems."
Lu Bingyang also knew that it was really difficult for Lin Fan to judge the quality of the script based on only this small part. He didn't have much hope to begin with, but now that he heard Lin Fan say there was another way, he immediately became energetic again: "Brother Fan, you tell me."
"Go back and ask someone to do a thorough investigation to see if the person in charge of this crew has done anything shady. You can also check the male and female leads they invited and their personal conduct in private. If there is nothing that touches the bottom line, then you can take the job without worry."
Lin Fan said: "As long as there are no such people with no bottom line in the crew, at least the movie will not be too bad. But once you find something wrong, then no matter how good the treatment or how high the configuration, you can't take this movie."
Lu Bingyang listened thoughtfully: "Brother Fan, are you saying..."
“Times have changed.”
Lu Bingyang looked at the script in his hand, was silent for a while, then smiled at Lin Fan: "I'll listen to Brother Fan. I'll turn down this play when I get back."
Lu Bingyang's assistant became even more anxious after hearing this, but he had no right to speak now, so there was no point in being anxious.
Li Xiaodong was surprised: "Is there really something wrong?"
Lu Bingyang lowered his voice and said, "I heard it from someone, but I'm not sure. I'll go back and ask someone to check it out."
Although Lu Bingyang said this, this honest child must have been 80% sure, so he said he wanted to promote this drama.
Lai Xiaodong was a little conflicted: "Hey, it's a rare opportunity, but I feel uncomfortable just thinking about filming with that kind of person..."
Lin Fan couldn't bear to see Li Xiaodong's distressed and reluctant look, so he slapped him on the back and said, "Alright, stop pretending in front of me. Brother Lu, if you really want to turn down this play, I'll make up another one for you later. I have plenty of scripts!"
Li Xiaodong smiled instantly: "Hey, my brother Fan is still generous!"
Lu Bingyang was touched and felt guilty: "Brother Fan, you help me like this..."
Lin Fan waved his hand: "Don't be so shy, you know how much I need people, when you switched jobs here, you helped me a lot!"
The Earthling Studio is really short of artists. Although there are many people who want to sign them now, Yang Hongxia doesn't like them. After much selection, she only signed a few actresses and threw them to Lian Xiaoyu to practice.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There really wasn't a single male actor that Lin Fan liked, which resulted in a lot of scripts that couldn't be filmed due to lack of actors.
Especially after Lin Fan focused on the international market, he had no time to take care of domestic TV drama projects. Yang Hongxia had already recruited a number of deputy directors and assistant directors for Liang Wen, with the aim of filling Lin Fan's vacancies and striving to take charge of both film and TV dramas.
Lin Fan had given Yang Hongxia several web drama scripts early on, all of which were of very good quality, but did not require Lin Fan to personally direct them.
Even Liang Wen doesn't have to do it himself. As long as Liang Wen is there to support, they can find a director with similar skills to shoot the film.
This kind of script is really suitable for Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang to consolidate their popularity and accumulate experience.
However, Lu Bingyang has not been able to terminate the contract with the original company, and the original company has been exploiting Lu Bingyang quite severely. Lin Fan doesn't want to let them get away with it, so he has been waiting for Lu Bingyang to take the initiative to change jobs.
But after waiting for two years, Lu Bingyang, this honest child, still did not change jobs. Lin Fan couldn't wait any longer, so he just said it clearly.
It was only at this time that Lu Bingyang revealed the truth: "In fact, I have already discussed the termination of the contract with the company."
Li Xiaodong slapped his thigh and said, "Oh! This is great news! Brother Lu, are you short of money? I can lend it to you. Are you short of legal staff? I... my brother Fan can lend it to you! The legal staff in our company has nothing to do every day, and they are almost sick from being idle. It is very suitable for them to have a lawsuit to relax their muscles!"
Although Lin Fan didn't say anything, he gave Lu Bingyang an affirmative look.
Lu Bingyang only felt a warm current in his heart: “Brother Fan, Xiaodong, I can do it myself.”
However, being able to make such good friends in this circle, Lu Bingyang sincerely feels that participating in the talent show was the best thing he had ever done in his life.
Terminating the contract with the original company and joining Brother Fan’s company would be the second best thing I have ever done in my life!
