Chapter 214: Turn on the machine and act like a big shot (Part 2)
"The Bad Kids" is set to wrap up on the 21st, and Yu Xiaoshu was originally planning to head to the wrap-up site after finishing filming the second scene of "All Is Well" today.
In any case, "The Bad Kids" is more important at the moment.
After all, the finale will be on the 24th, which is next Wednesday.
Now "The Hidden Corner" can be said to be divided into three groups.
All the way in the editing department of Baiqian Media, Zhu Zhichao is working overtime to edit the last few episodes.
Along the way, the crew was filming the last few scenes of "The Bad Kids".
There is another way. Well, as a screenwriter, Yu Xiaoshu certainly has his own way.
As a result, before Yu Xiaoshu even set off, Cao Rui started to act like a big shot.
"Okay, I get it. Then don't shoot his scenes yet. We can talk about everything after I get there."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently and said, "But Lao Zhang, you can tell Cao Rui's mother that even if she thinks Cao Rui is too popular, she still has to follow the contract. Otherwise, ask her if she can afford the penalty for breach of contract."
After saying that, Yu Xiaoshu hung up the phone.
"Xiaoshu, are you okay?"
At this time, Bao Nan came over and asked with concern.
"Haha, it's okay."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "Something happened to The Hidden Corner, but I was planning to leave in the afternoon."
At this point, Yu Xiaoshu paused and said, "If you don't understand anything during the filming, just communicate with Chen Fang, or you can communicate with me at any time. In this "All Is Well", even if Han Dan is just a foil, you are definitely the leading actress, so keep going."
"Don't worry, I will."
Bao Nan nodded slightly.
Before, Bao Nan always felt that she was missing an opportunity. Now, first, she was cast as the leading female role in "The Rumored Chen Qianqian", and now, needless to say, this script is almost tailor-made for Bao Nan.
Not to mention that even Han Dan is a supporting role.
A common saying in the industry is "Whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk."
Well, Bao Nan proved herself in the sweet costume drama, but that did not require too high acting skills after all, and this time "All Is Well" is a real challenge.
How does the saying go?
It is a good thing to take on a major responsibility, but it is also possible to be crushed by the responsibility.
Not to mention Han Dan, Tang Tian, Tang Henshui and others also have strong acting skills, not to mention some veteran actors.
Quite the contrary, Bao Nan is not feeling pressured, but rather excited and overwhelmed.
At her age, her acting skills have become more mature, and it would be even better if she could compete with these veteran actors.
Besides, in "The Undocumented Crime", Bao Nan never lost to Lin Feiyang, Feng Jie and others, so how could she be afraid of them?
As for Yu Xiaoshu, after chatting with Bao Nan for a few more sentences, he held another meeting with the crew.
Basically, it was just some instructions about the next filming plan for "All Is Well".
In the afternoon, Yu Xiaoshu left the crew of "All Is Well".
In the past two days, the online discussion is still centered around "The Bad Kids". Originally, the media reported on the start of filming of "All Is Well", but then the focus continued to be on "The Bad Kids".
There is no way.
It’s so popular.
After four days of fermentation, the current Douhu score of "The Bad Kids" remains firmly stable at 9.2 points.
There have been many polls online regarding the upcoming finale on the 24th.
Some people think that the finale of "The Bad Kids" will be a failure.
Some people believe that there will definitely be no problems with the finale of "The Bad Kids".
Others believe that the finale of "The Bad Kids" might have some gimmicks.
In short, no matter how everyone discusses it, at least everyone currently thinks that the first six episodes of "The Bad Kids" are worthy of more than 9 points.
With the development of the trend over the past few days, the number of fans of the main actors of "The Bad Kids" has skyrocketed.
Needless to say, Lin Feiyang has already greatly increased his fan base thanks to the two dramas "I Am Yu Huanshui" and "The Undocumented Crime".
Those who really need fans are Han Caier, Gao Suhua, Ning Xinxin, Liu Tian and others. These people are either out of date or have never achieved success, but this time they have regained attention with their wonderful performances in "The Bad Kids".
In addition, the three children are currently the focus of attention in "The Bad Kids".
Zhu Chaoyang, Yan Liang, and Pu Pu.
These three children do not have personal social media platforms yet, but there are many clips of them edited online.
Especially Zhu Chaoyang. In the first 6 episodes, his character has changed the most, and if it is not handled well, the whole drama may collapse.
Therefore, Cao Rui has the highest voice.
Cao Rui became really famous because of his role as Zhu Chaoyang.
This fire is not a small fire, but a big fire.
After all, "The Hidden Corner" has not ended yet. After the finale of "The Hidden Corner" on the 24th, Cao Rui will definitely continue to be popular for a while.
From obscurity to fame.
This is an extreme test to a person's heart.
Of course, Cao Rui himself didn’t care much about it, but Cao Rui’s mother Cao Xiao was different.
In just these few days, she has received numerous contract offers from brokerage companies, and the signing fees are quite high.
Some people even quoted a "signing bonus of tens of millions".
That's right.
A signing bonus of tens of millions.
Why did Cao Xiao always bring Cao Rui into the entertainment industry?
Isn't it just to make Cao Rui famous and then make a lot of money?
Under such circumstances, Cao Xiao became a little inflated in the crew.
When Yu Xiaoshu was on the set before, in order to make Cao Rui in a good state, he directly expelled Cao Xiao.
It can be said that no face was given to Cao Xiao at all.
But after "The Bad Kids" became a huge hit, and Cao Rui's popularity was soaring, when Cao Xiao came to the crew again, others felt embarrassed to stop him.
As for Zhang Yi, on the one hand, he knew Cao Xiao well, and on the other hand, he felt that the filming would only last a few days, so Cao Xiao could just watch from the side.
But who would have thought that Cao Xiao would actually instigate Cao Rui to act like a big shot.
What is this brain thinking???
This time, Cao Rui's salary for "The Bad Kids" was only 50,000 yuan, but this is actually a lot for an unknown child star. You know, some child stars are willing to participate even without a penny.
Because what is this little money???
Opportunity is what matters.
After all, if you can become famous, you might get a million-dollar endorsement in a few minutes, so what are these tens of thousands of dollars? ?
Just like Cao Rui, he may be able to successfully turn around with the role of Zhu Chaoyang. Even if his subsequent development is better, and he has a few more dramas as a foundation, he may be able to become a first-line child star in a few years.
Anyone with a brain knows what to do.
Just like Jia Tao, the agent of Yan Ming, who plays Yan Liang, and Song Yi, the agent of Zou Feng, who plays Pupu. They both privately told the two kids to film with all their heart and not to be afraid of hardship or fatigue, because whether they can soar to success in the future depends entirely on this next step.
What's more, if I can successfully connect with Yu Xiaoshu, there may be more opportunities in the future.
When you think about it this way, Jia Tao and Song Yi are both smart people, so of course they know what to do.
But Cao Xiao is different.
She thinks that our Ruirui is already so famous, and someone has offered him a signing fee of tens of millions, so shouldn’t his subsequent pay increase?
This is not just a matter of brain damage.
This is simply because the hair is too long.
"Cao Xiao, what did you say when you asked me to recommend Cao Rui???"
Zhang Yi looked at Cao Xiao angrily and said, "You said that as long as there is a role, the money doesn't matter. But I think it's not easy for you to get 50,000 yuan for Cao Rui. Do you know how much Yan Ming and Zou Feng were paid together? They only got 20,000 yuan."
"After all, they are supporting roles, while our Ruirui is the main character, and she has a lot of scenes to play, so it's only natural that she gets a high pay. Lao Zhang, of course I'm grateful to you, but you also have to know that our Ruirui is extremely popular right now, and her agency has offered her a signing bonus of tens of millions."
Cao Xiao said without any embarrassment: "Besides, Ruirui has already missed a lot of classes because of filming this drama, so of course he has to catch up quickly."
Zhang Yi was so angry that he laughed: "Cao Xiao, I treat you as a friend, do you treat me as a fool??? When have you ever taken care of your son's homework??? Now this matter has alarmed Teacher Yu, you should think about the pros and cons clearly. Even if Cao Rui really has a signing bonus of 10 million, it does not mean that he can get 10 million right away. Think about it again, if you refuse to shoot, can you afford the penalty for breach of contract from our crew???"
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi really admired Yu Xiaoshu's foresight.
Before the filming, in addition to controlling the film's pay, Yu Xiaoshu also asked the legal department to include high liquidated damages in the contract, especially for the three young actors.
He was not worried about Lin Feiyang and the others.
But Yu Xiaoshu was worried that something might happen to the three young actors.
Another point is that this is the first time these three young actors are working together, so Yu Xiaoshu still needs to be cautious.
After all, for Yu Xiaoshu, the three young actors in this movie "The Hidden Corner" are the top priority.
At that time, he really didn't think that Cao Rui would fail.
After all, if you think normally, it would be best for Cao Rui to finish filming "The Hidden Corner" honestly to maximize his profits.
What's more, if everyone cooperates well, maybe they can continue to cooperate well in the future.
Cao Rui has not signed a contract with an agency yet, but Yu Xiaoshu thinks that Cao Rui still has potential for training.
What’s the result???
There was nothing wrong with Cao Rui, but Cao Rui's mother caused trouble.
Among them, Zhang Yi was the most annoyed.
He introduced Cao Rui.
There had been a problem before.
What is more critical?
What’s more crucial is that Cao Rui was not the final choice for Zhu Chaoyang. Yu Xiaoshu had chosen another young actor at the beginning. However, due to Zhang Yi’s recommendation and the good feeling after the audition, Yu Xiaoshu agreed.
Now that Cao Xiao has done this, where does she put Zhang Yi?
So Zhang Yi couldn't bear it anymore at this time.
"Since Cao Rui doesn't want to play the role in The Bad Kids, then forget it. We can just replace him with someone else. It will just be a little more troublesome."
Zhang Yi said calmly, "We can just change the face when the time comes, but you have to think carefully about the sky-high penalty for breach of contract. I don't believe any agency is willing to pay it, and if they really pay it, then think carefully, will they pay it for nothing?"
After saying this, Zhang Yi prepared to leave.
When the filming is halfway through, if an actor quits, or if the actor cannot be used due to other negative factors, then we can only reshoot the scene or change his face.
There are a few shows on this planet that just have to change faces.
On Yuanxing, because the technology is more advanced, face changing is not a big problem.
It's just a little troublesome.
More importantly, Zhang Yi believed that Cao Xiao would not really dare to quit the role.
He knew Cao Xiao quite well, but what Zhang Yi didn't expect was that Cao Xiao was even more shameless than he imagined.
"Mr. Zhang, why are you so anxious? I didn't say that Ruirui couldn't act."
Seeing Zhang Yi was about to leave, Cao Xiao's expression changed for a moment, and then he quickly said with a smile: "Rui Rui will do her homework later."
The next day, when Yu Xiaoshu arrived, the matter had basically been settled.
Everyone continues to speak up as if nothing happened.
"We won't be wrapping up today."
Yu Xiaoshu said directly after seeing Zhang Yi.
"kindness???"
Zhang Yi was a little stunned: "Teacher Yu, what do you mean?"
"Originally, I thought that the extra episode didn't need to be filmed, and it could be performed live during the celebration banquet."
Yu Xiaoshu said: "But seeing how short-sighted Cao Xiao is, she might not do anything about it later. In that case, let's shoot the extra episode in advance."
Zhang Yi said apologetically: "Teacher Yu, I'm sorry, this is all my fault."
"Why blame you? You didn't expect Cao Xiao to be so stupid???"
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly: "It's okay to act like a big shot, but if you want to act like a big shot before you become famous, that's really courting death. Cao Rui must have owed too much debt in his previous life to have a mother like this."
The spin-off of "The Bad Kids" is "Echoes".
It can be said that this extra episode will explain all the main episodes.
When this "Echo" came out, Zhu Chaoyang had grown taller, and even Pupu had grown taller as well.
That would be a bit out of place.
This time, Yu Xiaoshu plans to shoot "Echo" first.
Yu Xiaoshu wrote the extra chapter.
Then we asked the props team to set up a new scene.
In this way, "The Bad Kids", which was originally scheduled to be completed on the 21st, was delayed until the afternoon of the 23rd.
Of course, at 2 p.m.
With the last scene, when the elderly Zhu Chaoyang fell down in his chair, "The Bad Kids" was officially completed.
"I now declare that The Bad Kids has finished filming."
Zhang Yi shouted loudly with a loudspeaker.
