The "Xiao Xiao" in Zhu Zhuqing's message is Zhang Xiao, 32 years old.
Zhang Xiao has been a child star since childhood, acting in sitcoms, movies, and web dramas. At the age of 18, he passed the art exam and was successfully admitted to the Film and Television Academy.
It is worth mentioning that he did not take on any role during his four years in college, and patiently honed his acting skills.
After graduation, from the age of 22 to 32, Zhang Xiao spent the next decade as a runner-up for Best Actor. Last year, he finally got his wish and was crowned the winner.
In the film and television industry, such a life is that of a truly golden protagonist.
If you have talent, work hard, and can endure loneliness, you will naturally be able to sit on the throne.
The title of Best Actor is well deserved.
Some time ago, Zhang Xiao had intended to take on a role, but hadn't had time to sign the contract. Now that Lu Hao's new movie is out, it's a good opportunity to get the part.
"Got it, I'm filming right now, I'll contact you later."
Zhang Xiao replied.
…
While Zhu Zhuqing was sending the message, the two people who were acting here came to an end.
Lu Hao finished the show and felt like he had just run five kilometers. His whole body was hot. If the air conditioning in the room hadn't been on low, he would probably have been sweating all over.
The best actress, worthy of being the best actress.
Her control over her emotions was so full and terrifying that she suppressed her own roles several times and almost failed to catch up.
Fortunately, I wrote the script myself and had a deep understanding of the character, so I was able to perform smoothly and even had a little aura that pushed back a few waves.
Su Ying was also under a lot of pressure and felt like her brain was over-exerting. She drank a few sips of water before she felt a little better.
"Mr. Lu's acting skills are truly...amazing!"
She gave it a high rating.
This is not flattery, but true admiration.
Under normal circumstances, those who can master both the professions of director and actor are all geniuses.
An actor needs to be completely immersed, especially with his subjective will, in order to bring a character to life.
The director, on the other hand, has a God's perspective, is rational and objective, and examines each character from a high position.
It's too difficult to take care of both at the same time.
"Don't flatter me, I'll get carried away..."
Lu Hao said casually, turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, and said directly: "Sister Zhu, let's talk about the remuneration?"
Things like negotiating film remuneration usually have a mature business process.
However, Lu Hao is the boss, so he can make the final decision himself and there is no need for such trouble.
"Go ahead."
"This is Su Ying's first drama after her comeback, and it's also our first time working together. The remuneration is negotiable."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke beautifully, but of course he had his own plans in mind.
Lu Hao is rich, very rich, not just ordinary rich, so he will definitely not be stingy when spending money.
"I said?"
"It's hard for me to say..."
Lu Hao touched his chin and could see what she was thinking.
To be fair, it is really hard to quote Su Ying's price. She is still a movie queen, but she has not worked for three years. No one can say for sure her commercial value.
Lu Hao is not short of money, he can spend money, but his posture must be beautiful.
"Mr. Lu, how much is the estimated investment for this film?"
"If you want to share the investment, I can help you make some connections."
Seeing that Lu Hao didn't make an offer, Zhu Zhuqing changed the topic lightly to avoid a dull silence.
It is a common practice to share investment in movies, firstly to reduce risks and secondly to develop personal connections.
After all, this industry involves complex interests. It is possible to handle it alone, but it is easy to be tricked.
Zhu Zhuqing knew that several of DreamWorks' previous films were personally invested by Lu Hao, and all of them were big hits.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
If an investment can really be made, the actors' salaries will be a small part of the total.
"Don't do that. If I lose the money, I won't be able to see you again..."
Lu Hao said with a smile, sat down, lit a cigarette calmly, and waited for her to speak.
Zhu Zhuqing: ...
speechless.
She originally thought that even if Lu Hao refused to be invested in, he would definitely express his opinion on the remuneration. Unexpectedly, he ignored it completely.
Is this young man really less than twenty years old?
Don’t you really want to show off in front of a movie queen-level beauty like Su Ying?
He doesn't look like a second-generation rich man at all, but more like a first-generation rich man.
"So what do you think... six million?"
With his mind racing, Zhu Zhuqing quoted a price.
Normally, the salary for a Best Actress fluctuates between 8 million and 15 million, depending on many factors such as investment, cast, popularity, etc.
However, given Su Ying's situation, six million is considered high.
She still left room for bargaining.
Lu Hao flicked the ash off his cigarette, grabbed the water cup and took a sip, looked at her with a half-smile, and stood up.
"That won't do."
"I'll add another two million, eight hundred, to make it a lucky number."
"The extra money will be used as a compliment to Miss Su..."
…
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned.
This young man really knows how to talk and do things.
Although I knew it was his routine, it still made me feel comfortable and I accepted the favor without realizing it.
Looking at Su Ying again, her eyes were also filled with surprise.
When Lu Hao said no, her heart was in her throat and she felt humiliated. But when she heard the next sentence, the dark clouds dissipated.
This Mr. Lu really likes to tease people.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu."
"Really, I don't know what to say."
"From now on, if you like my performance, it's just a matter of a word."
She clasped her hands in front of her chest and bowed deeply to Lu Hao, lowering her proud head in front of her financial sponsor.
