Chapter 238: Treatment of the company's top lady
In the meeting room.
Gu Pan thought for less than a minute.
He pulled a chair and sat directly opposite Zhang Xiaobo.
In the script, the climax scene is when the three of them sit down for a talk.
Xu Huanshan admitted that he felt sorry for his family and hoped that Gu Jia would come forward to talk to Lin Youyou.
After Gu Pan sat down, he looked at Zhang Xiaobo.
There was no hysteria like that of an ordinary woman after being betrayed.
Except for the slightly red eyes, he looked very calm.
“That’s the taste!”
Zhang Xiaobo's eyes lit up.
I didn’t expect that Gu Pan, who looks like a pretty girl, has such good acting skills.
Zhang Xiaobo said the lines in the script: "Why did you not let Xu Huanshan have dinner and play his favorite football for so many years? Xu Huanshan is not happy at all when he is with you!"
Lin Meishan, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but clench her hands tightly.
If the acting skills are not good enough, it is easy to burst out laughing.
But Gu Pan has an acting skill of 89, comparable to a veteran actor who has been acting for half his life.
Naturally, I would not make such a low-level mistake.
"Where do you get your confidence from? Where do you have the heart to save this man?"
"The man you fell in love with is nothing more than a man I created, a man with my own shadow."
Gu Pan’s dialogue skills are also amazing.
This made several people in the industry present nod their heads frequently.
"Look, all the photos here are of our dinner."
“How many photos, how many nights we spent together.”
Zhang Xiaobo continued to speak Lin Youyou's lines in the script and pushed the phone over.
In the original drama, this scene was also a small climax.
But Gu Pan's performance is still very stable.
Not only his dialogue skills are amazing.
Even the domineering spirit of tearing the mistress apart with bare hands was portrayed vividly.
After watching Gu Pan's performance, Zhang Xiaobo felt overwhelmed.
If Gu Pan performed poorly, there would be nothing to say.
With his relationship with Lemon Film and Television, he can also ensure that Tong Yao's position as the heroine will not be shaken.
But the problem is that Gu Pan’s performance was too amazing.
As a director, his professional ethics tell him so.
Such a good actor should not be rejected.
But in real life, things are not that simple.
"Ahem, Mr. Chen, Miss Gu's performance was indeed good."
"But this time we are shooting a story about the 30-year-old age group."
"I'm worried that Miss Gu's experience may not be suitable for this role."
Zhang Xiaobo gritted his teeth and made up a flimsy excuse.
"Director Zhang, I think Panpan is quite suitable for the role of Gu Jia. Why don't you consider it again?"
Chen Fei saw with her own eyes that Gu Pan's acting skills were indeed capable of playing the leading female role.
Naturally, he would not give Zhang Xiaobo another chance to do him a favor.
After all, this drama is an independent production of Lemon Pictures.
After hearing Chen Fei's words, Zhang Xiaobo had no choice but to listen.
"Ahem, then let's listen to Mr. Chen. The role of Gu Jia will be played by Gu Pan."
Zhang Xiaobo silently apologized to Tong Yao in his heart. It was not his fault.
Who makes the capital behind Gu Pan even more powerful!
Bringing money directly into the group, what the hell is this?
"Boss Lin, let's go upstairs to discuss the details of the cooperation."
"Okay, Panpan, you talk to Director Zhang first."
Before Lin Meishan left, she winked at the two female bodyguards who were accompanying her.
With a female bodyguard around, she naturally didn't worry that Gu Pan would suffer any harm.
…
Upstairs, the president's office.
Chen Fei poured Lin Meishan a cup of coffee and introduced her to the production budget of the drama.
"The current tentative production and promotion costs are 120 million, and we can give Universe Entertainment a one-third investment share."
"Okay, how do you say the ranking?"
Lin Meishan agreed without even thinking about it.
Just 40 million, as long as I can make Gu Pan famous.
With a few endorsements, you can easily make back your investment.
Chen Fei smiled and said, "The first female lead is Jiang Shuying, this has been decided long ago, Mao Xiaotong is the second female lead, and Gu Pan is the third female lead."
Lin Meishan argued, "Jiang Shuying is the female lead, I have no objection, but Mao Xiaotong's role doesn't seem to be as big as Gu Pan's, right?"
Don't think Lin Meishan is being unreasonable.
It is normal for people in the entertainment industry to fight over their ranking.
For example, when promoting, there must be a focus.
As the leading female character, she will definitely get more publicity resources.
Even the second and third female leads have different statuses.
"Then Gu Pan will be second, and Mao Xiaotong will be third."
Chen Fei also didn't want to offend Universe Entertainment.
What's more, Gu Pan brought money into the group.
Having a second female lead is not unacceptable.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Lin Meishan extended her hand with satisfaction and talked about the remuneration with Chen Fei.
Although she is the female lead, Gu Pan is a newcomer and her performance is definitely not that good.
The film's pay was 7 million, which was 8 million less than that of the female lead Jiang Shuying.
Only 2 million more than the third female player Mao Xiaotong.
Even so, it is still because of the second female lead's ranking.
…
Downstairs, Zhang Xiaobo also accepted the reality.
From a rational point of view, Gu Pan joined.
It really helps to raise the popularity of the drama to a higher level.
Gu Pan’s appearance is far better than Tong Yao who was chosen earlier.
As for popularity?
A third line, a newcomer.
The difference is not that much.
"Mr. Lin."
Zhang Xiaobo saw Lin Meishan walk in with a smile and she no longer put on airs like before.
When working in the entertainment industry, the thing you cannot afford to offend the most is capital.
What this circle lacks is good scripts.
Rather than being good at directing.
"Director Zhang, President Xu has already decided that our Panpan will play the role of Gu Jia."
"We at Universe Entertainment will also invest 40 million yuan as a co-producer of this drama."
Lin Meishan and Zhang Xiaobo shook hands.
The information revealed in the words made Zhang Xiaobo secretly shocked.
Spend 40 million to make a newcomer famous.
Who was the last person in the circle to do this?
Oh, Da Tiantian! But it’s different from Da Tiantian not having acting skills.
Gu Pan's performance does not seem like that of a student trained by Beijing Film Academy at all.
It would be easier for Zhang Xiaobo to accept that it came from the Central Academy of Drama, where there are many good actors.
She has acting skills, good looks, a good figure, and people spend money to support her.
This is definitely the next top star!
It's very realistic in the circle, people will surround whoever is popular.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zhang Xiaobo no longer dared to put on airs and continued to talk and laugh with Gu Pan.
Who knows, there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
…
After leaving Lemon Pictures, Gu Pan was still immersed in the surprise of getting the first important role in his life.
"Panpan, your performance in the audition just now was perfect. I really didn't expect you to have such great acting skills."
Lin Meishan's gaze towards Gu Pan was also somewhat fiery.
Although, she has brought out several popular young actresses.
But at best, she is just a second-tier actress.
The Gu Pan in front of us has already displayed all the necessary qualities of a top female star.
Cool temperament, superb acting skills, hot body, superior bone structure, perfect appearance...
If she had such a good talent, she wouldn't be able to make him famous.
She might as well find a piece of tofu and kill herself.
"You're too kind. I still have a lot to learn."
Gu Pan also has great ambitions.
Only if you become the most popular female star in the circle, you are worthy of standing beside Qi Sheng openly.
"I'm completely relieved that you can maintain this humility."
Lin Meishan glanced at her phone and suddenly smiled playfully: "The boss is here."
"Boss?"
Gu Pan almost made a mistake in speaking, but fortunately he corrected himself in time.
"That car is it."
Lin Meishan pointed to the black GMC nanny car not far away.
Just then Qi Sheng rolled down the car window and waved to them with a smile.
Gu Pan got into the nanny car with great surprise. She didn't expect Qi Sheng to come here secretly.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm worried that you'll fail the audition, so I came here to comfort you."
Qi Sheng would never say that he couldn't stand the unbridled exploitation from those women at home.
Compared to Chengdu, there are fewer people in Shanghai.
Apart from Qu Man and Zong Rui, there are Jiang Wanqiu and Gu Pan.
Qi Sheng was not afraid at all when it came to just the four of them.
But in Chengdu, more than a dozen people went into battle together.
Even though Qi Sheng has a 95% physique, he still can't handle it! "Mua, love you!"
Gu Pan kissed Qi Sheng happily.
Only then did I feel like looking at this nanny car.
"Your new nanny car?"
During the time that Gu Pan was in Chengdu, Qi Sheng took him out for walks in different cars.
But this is the first time I’ve seen a nanny car.
"It's not mine, it's your nanny car."
Qi Sheng smiled and waved, saying goodbye to Lin Meishan who was outside the door.
"My baby car?"
Gu Pan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little flattered.
“Isn’t this car expensive?”
"It's not bad, it's only 2 million. You are the top star of Universal Entertainment. It's not good to not have a nanny car."
"This car costs 2 million?"
Gu Pan was stunned. She had heard of a nanny car before.
But the entry-level GL8 seems to be only about 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, right?
Only those first-line stars dare to be so luxurious as to equip themselves with a nanny car of this level.
And she is still a newcomer, but she is directly treated like a first-line star.
I have to say, Qi Sheng really dotes on her.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. After this play is over, I will arrange other resources for you."
"My suggestion is to shoot a few TV series first to build up your popularity."
"When I become popular enough, I will challenge the big screen."
"Yeah, I'll listen to you."
Without Qi Sheng's request, Gu Pan operated the front partition function to isolate the cockpit.
As a female star, she is supported by financial sponsors.
Of course, she knew how to respond to Bao.
Gu Feng was driving in the front with very steady skills.
The nanny car is worth 2 million yuan, and the entire driving experience is top-notch.
Even Gu Feng and the others could only vaguely hear a little bit of the sound.
Waited until we arrived at the Banyan Tree in North Bund.
Qi Sheng and Gu Pan, who was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, got out of the car together.
Although she is not very popular now, she is a stunning beauty.
Just in case, Lin Meishan asked Gu Pan to pay attention to privacy from now on.
"Hello, boss."
Qi Sheng waved his hand, "You guys keep busy."
Holding Gu Pan's little hand, he ran straight to the elevator exclusive to the presidential suite.
After entering the presidential suite, Gu Pan quickly took off his hat and sunglasses.
"Phew, so tiring!"
Before Gu Pan became famous, he had already tasted the troubles of being a star.
Fame is a double-edged sword.
It allows them to make more money.
But privacy is also completely exposed to the public.
"To prevent paparazzi from following you after you become famous, let's try some new moves."
Gu Pan: "Hmm???"
There were two more of her palm prints on the floor-to-ceiling window glass of the presidential suite.
Fortunately, she did not become famous.
If you are really photographed by paparazzi after becoming famous, you can forget about your career in the entertainment industry.
Just go home and prepare to have a baby.
