181. Chapter 179 What? A salary for being a figurehead?!



Chapter 179 What? A salary for being a nominal employee?!

The next day, morning.

Yang Ruoqian arrived on the set three minutes early.

Inside the studio, several actors have already started preliminary auditions.

All the actors, including Shang Qianyu, have been dressed up in colorful superhero uniforms, looking quite impressive.

These costumes were specially customized by the crew for the corresponding superheroes. Although the shapes may not be 70% similar, you can tell at a glance which prototype they are "paying tribute to".

The props in everyone's hands are of various kinds, very delicate, and not rough at all. From a distance, they look really realistic.

Especially Shang Qianyu, who had only been a supporting actor before, looked at his appearance in the mirror with stars in his eyes, and was obviously very satisfied.

Although these costumes and props are very exaggerated, they are indeed beautiful! In the films she filmed before, from modern films to costume films, Shang Qianyu played a minor role with a few minutes of appearance time at most. In order not to affect her status as the leading actor, she even had to deliberately use makeup to make herself less conspicuous.

When things get bad, Shang Qianyu can only play the role of one of the corpses...

This is the first time I have had an experience like today.

The actors had never filmed a similar script before and were extremely excited and full of energy; the crew, encouraged by the high salaries, also put in their best efforts.

An Zhou also changed his easy-going and humble appearance in front of Yang Ruoqian, and directed the scene with a serious face. Even the smallest mistake and error could not escape his eyes.

Obviously everyone has high hopes for this movie.

Of course, Yang Ruoqian, who was in charge of the general direction of the script, was not panicked at all.

He deliberately maintained the quality of costumes and special effects at a good level - because if the special effects and plot were too bad, the audience would watch it as a comedy.

However, if the level of special effects is too strong, the audience's requirements for the plot will be lowered accordingly, because they will feel that even if the plot is bad, the special effects alone are worth the price of the ticket.

Yang Ruoqian got out of the car and looked at the busy set, the actors and staff coming and going, and suddenly felt a little apologetic.

Everyone is looking forward to the new movie so much, how disappointed will they be when it flopped at the box office?

How much damage would such disappointment cause them?

Need to pay extra...

"Director An, Mr. Yang is here."

"The boss is here to inspect. Everyone cheer up."

"Landlord, I'm here!"

“…”

Yang Ruoqian didn't want to disturb the filming of the actors and staff too much, so he waved his hand casually, walked to the side, and watched the filming on the set curiously.

This was the first time for him to watch a movie being filmed live at such a close distance.

Yang Ruoqian was also present at the last web drama shoot, but the scale was obviously not comparable to this time's set which had an investment of 100 million yuan.

Suddenly, a cheerful voice came from behind: "Boss Yang, go sit upstairs. It's so hot here and you can't see clearly."

Yang Ruoqian turned around and saw a man in his early thirties, holding two bottles of mineral water and a bag of fermented bean curd peanuts.

"What's your name?" As the financial sponsor, Yang Ruoqian accounts for more than 95% of the expenses here, so he was not polite.

"Cui Qing, you can just call me Little Cui." Cui Qing, who is several years older than Yang Ruoqian, smiled and said, "I'm the deputy producer."

Simply put, the producer of a film is the person who is responsible for all related projects of the entire film, including the director, leading actors, and the selection of various teams during the shooting phase.

It also includes supervising post-production, publicity, distribution, etc.

The associate producer assists the producer.

Originally, the associate producer wanted to give Yang Ruoqian a credit as producer, but Yang Ruoqian flatly refused - because even if it was just a credit, some things could not be avoided.

The two walked all the way to a makeshift room with a good view. Cui Qingcai smiled and said, "I am very grateful to Mr. Yang for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely treat you to a meal next time when I am free."

For the position of associate producer, you can choose someone who can do real work, or you can find someone who is just a figurehead.

And since Yang Ruoqian gave up the figurehead position, there would naturally be someone to do real work and pave the way for his future career.

"Oh, it's okay." Yang Ruoqian shook his head indifferently. He had no interest in being famous. "It doesn't mean much to me to have this name."

Now he just wants to fill his own little treasury.

Cui Qing laughed twice and winked at his assistant: "Everyone says that Mr. Yang is generous. Today I really saw it!"

Yang Ruoqian took the script from his assistant, glanced at it casually, and asked casually, "What's so grand about this?"

Well, I think this script is pretty good...

It basically aligns with Yang Ruoqian's general direction.

Extremely uncomfortable plots like a superhero flying to the top of a skyscraper and doing some indecent actions, and accepting the unspoken rules before becoming a superhero, actually appear in the script.

Not bad, not bad! After the filming of "The Dragon Son-in-law", Chengyu's crew has obviously been more relaxed in the writing of the plot.

In the past, they would never have been able to film such a plot.

Although the work "Dragon Son-in-law" was a success, it led the entire Chengyu crew towards failure. In the long run, it is still a failure!

After Yang Ruoqian comforted himself in this way, he felt much better.

The assistant looked at Yang Ruoqian's nonchalant expression and continued to flatter him, "It's a salary of three hundred thousand. If you say you don't want it, then just don't want it. Isn't that generous?"

"Yeah, that's right..." Yang Ruoqian responded subconsciously, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

What the hell, salary?

Three hundred thousand...

How much? ! Before Yang Ruoqian could ask, Cui Qing immediately frowned and scolded his assistant: "Look at what you are saying. Does Mr. Yang need these hundreds of thousands? Mr. Yang gave us the opportunity with good intentions and wants to cultivate us!"

"Hundreds of thousands, look at your vision, you are so vulgar! Shame on you!"

"Boss Yang, this is a noble act, don't you understand?"

Yang Ruoqian, a complete layman, had no time to deal with the two people's double act of flattery in front of him. The only thing in his mind was that big number.

It turns out that being an associate producer can earn you 300,000 yuan? ! Damn, 300,000 yuan! Yang Ruoqian has been busy with this broken system for so long, but in the end, the money that landed in his wallet was less than 300,000 yuan! Yang Ruoqian once saw a job that could earn him 300,000 yuan, but he didn't know what it was, so he kicked it away...

Is it too late for me to say I regret it now? "No, that's not right."

Yang Ruoqian, who was almost defeated, suddenly calmed down.

"This investment was made by the company. Can I get this salary? Will it violate the system rules?"

Thinking about this, Yang Ruoqian opened the system panel and began to look for relevant regulations in various regulations.
