After Ye Fan and Zhang Meng signed the agreement, he went with Zhang Meng to see the brothers who were hanging out with Zhang Meng. They were the cameramen, screenwriters, stage managers, and so on. They had all gotten to know each other and signed the agreement. These people naturally respected the living God of Wealth who had suddenly fallen from the sky.
Ideals, ideals needed money! Without money to talk about ideals, this was the biggest realization in these people's hearts.
Ye Fan had a general understanding of the production team. Zhang Meng had also discussed with him that the production team needed to expand. Just this number of people was not enough. Ye Fan was a hands-off shopkeeper. He only said that he thought it was suitable. He didn't care about the rest. He just needed to sign it. He let Zhang Meng do whatever he wanted.
The expansion of the production team, the rental of the film and television base, the search for actors, and other matters were all handled by Zhang Meng. The most important thing was to find actors. Before this, Zhang Meng had already contacted many actors. Most of them were students who had just graduated from art schools or old actors who had been playing minor roles for thousands of years. These people had no problems. After all, to them, earning cash was more important. As for Director Fan, they might not have the chance to work with him in their lifetime. Naturally, they would shoot whatever they could.
However, there was still a mistake in the end. The female lead that was originally decided on was not going to be filmed. This actress had the highest pay among all the actors Zhang Meng had hired. Because she was an A-list celebrity, her pay was as high as 12 million yuan. The actress also expressed her stance.
As long as Ye Fan did not act as the male lead, she could come over and act!
It was obvious that she was afraid of offending Director Fan. After all, she had made a name for herself and was different from those who were not afraid of anything.
Without the female lead, Zhang Meng was in a difficult position. He could only look for Ye Fan to discuss it. After Ye Fan found out about this, he was also a little worried. The female lead role could not be decided casually. After all, it might affect the box office of the entire movie.
"Let's ask Livingstone." Ye Fan wanted to ask Liying if there were any actresses she knew who could come and act in this movie. As soon as the call was made, the person who picked up was actually Li Ying's manager. Through the conversation with the manager, Ye Fan found out that Li Ying hadn't been doing well recently.
The reason why Ye Fan didn't ask Liying to act in this movie was because he had heard from Liying that she had a lot of shows recently and her schedule was full. It was a huge gamble for him to film here. There was no need for her to reject other scenes and come over to gamble with him. However, ever since he went to meet Director Fan, he had not only banned Ye Fan but also Liying. This was something that Ye Fan did not know. The few production teams that were related to Liying had all terminated their contracts with her. In the words of her manager, if Liying did not have any jobs within a month, she would quit.
Because of offending Director Fan, the number of female artistes who had been buried in the entertainment industry since then was estimated to be no less than two digits. This was the reality of the entertainment industry. Otherwise, everyone knew that the unspoken rules were bad, so why would they have to succumb to the unspoken rules?
After Ye Fan found out about this, he said to Li Ying's manager,"Binhai Pictures is shooting a movie recently and is short of a female lead. Ask her if she's willing to come. The pay is 15 million.”
"What did you say?" The manager seemed to be shocked by this news. Liying had worked in movies before, but she had only played a small supporting role. She had never acted as the main lead, and she had never received such a high salary. Her agent was also a little confused.
Soon, the phone was in Liying's hands.
Brother Ye, you were looking for me?" Liying replied, her voice a little haggard.
"Yeah, did your manager tell you about the movie?" Ye Fan said.”
"Ye-ge, don't tease her. She hasn't been doing very well recently and is under more pressure than me.”Liying said gently.
Ye Fan smiled and said,"Am I someone who would joke around?" It's true. I'll send you the contract later. If it's okay, come over and sign it.”
Liying was stunned. She finally understood that this was not a joke. It was true.
"Don't be too happy. It's easy to hurt your body when you're sad or happy. "Ye Fan said considerately.
"I understand, Ye-ge, thank you.”Liying's voice sounded a little choked. Although she didn't know that Ye Fan was the behind-the-scenes boss, she could guess from Ye Fan's words that this female lead opportunity must have been fought for by Ye Fan.
"Didn't I promise you that I would help you? Now, the big star is here to help you as promised. How are you going to thank me?" Ye Fan deliberately teased.
Li Ying knew that Ye Fan was just like how he forced a kiss on her in the car before. He was often frivolous. She knew that he was teasing her, so she said,"I'll treat you to a meal."
"Not good. You've already treated me. Give me something new.”Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Why don't I devote myself to you?" Liying smiled through her tears.
"Alright, this is good. It's new.”Ye Fan laughed.
"Hmph, in your dreams." Liying pouted.
