Hua Xuanhe: "It's okay, I can change your character design."
Shi Xi: ?
Are you really that casual about it?
No wonder there are so many bad scripts; it turns out they were all changed by the big boss on a whim.
"Thank you for coming to me, but I don't think this movie is right for me." Shi Xi closed the script, placed it on the table along with the contract, and pushed it back.
As she pushed, Shi Xi's heart bled.
Is she trying to push the script away?
No!
She's just pushing money away!
Shi Xi wanted to refuse with one hand, but wanted to take the contract back with the other.
Hold on.
Shi Xi grasped the disobedient hand, interlacing her fingers, "If there's nothing else, I'm going to rest."
Then she cried about all the money she missed out on.
Hua Xuan remained calm and composed, saying, "If it's about the salary, I can keep increasing it."
Are you adding more?
Shi Xi felt like she was about to be defeated.
"The script is good, but if the characters are changed, it will lose its original charm." Shi Xi forced a smile and said, "I am not suitable for this script. Please find someone better."
Hua Xuanhe pondered.
Shi Xi didn't urge him, but she was also suffering in her heart.
"Yuan Shao 2" is a film by Kuai Xue, and its final box office revenue is still unknown.
Shi Xi herself was unsure whether "Yuan Shao 2" could achieve the same success as the first installment.
If she loses money, she won't get much money.
However, "Heroic Spirit" is a film produced by state media and Huashi, with fixed salaries, and it is also a major film released during the Spring Festival.
...
“Alright, I’ll leave the script here.” Hua Xuanhe stood up. “There’s still some time before filming starts, so you can think it over carefully whether you want to join the crew.”
"Huh?" Shi Xi was confused.
"Get some rest, goodnight." Hua Xuanhe stood up, very gentlemanly and considerate.
Shi Xi got up to see him off.
When she returned, she saw Zhu Lin holding a cup of tea and asked in confusion, "Where is President Hua?"
"Everyone's gone." Shi Xi picked up a cup of tea, took a big gulp, and tried to clear her head and calm down.
Zhu Lin placed the tea on the table, noticed the documents and script, and asked, "Is this the contract that President Hua gave us? What are the terms?"
Shi Xi: "See for yourself."
Zhu Lin opened the file, "Holy crap!"
Shi Xi glanced at her.
Zhu Lin looked at it more closely and exclaimed in surprise, "This is higher than the salary of a top-tier star!"
Shi Xi sighed, "Yes."
That's why she was conflicted.
“But ‘Yuan Shao 2’ is about to start filming.” Zhu Lin also became conflicted, obviously thinking of the same problem as Shi Xi. “Why don’t we discuss with Brother Han and postpone ‘Yuan Shao 2’ again, and film this one first?”
Zhu Lin immediately came up with a good idea.
“No way.” Shi Xi immediately rejected the idea, saying, “Yuan Shao 2 has already been shelved for several months and cannot be delayed any longer.”
After all, it's a big project.
“That movie…” Zhu Lin said with a reluctant expression.
"I'm not acting anymore, it's not suitable for me anyway." Shi Xi instructed, "Don't mention the salary to Brother Han."
Zhu Lin said expectantly, "Okay."
So much money.
What a pity.
She really wants to act in it.
“But, Brother Han knows that President Hua came to see you, he will definitely ask questions,” Zhu Lin asked. “What if President Hua went to see Brother Han?”
“The script is here, Brother Han won’t agree,” Shi Xi said confidently.
Sports competitions often mean a simple makeup look.
Han Chuan definitely wouldn't want her to take on such a script.
Unless the pay is outrageously high.
Thinking of this, Shi Xi felt sad again.
Damn it.
How come Huashi Films is so rich?
