"This movie doesn't need any young hunks. We can either find some capable actors or discover some new people.”
Lu Ping hesitated for a moment before continuing,"By the way, how much are you paid?”
Luo Ya was an A-list celebrity. Although her salary could not be compared to that of a young hunk, it was at least in the tens of millions.
"My pay…don't worry about it.”
Luo Ya smiled freely." Slapping Yang Han's face was what I wanted to do. Plus, didn't you promise to give me a song? Take that as your remuneration!"
A good song would cost at most hundreds of thousands.
However, there was no supply in this market.
It had been a long time since she had a good work. Lu Ping had helped her a lot this time. Moreover, Lu Ping's personality was also to her liking. When it came to favors, there had to be a return.
In fact, when she first agreed to Lu Ping's role in " A Chinese Oath to the West," Luo Ya was already prepared to pay for it.
What if Lu Ping really created another miracle?
"No, friendship is friendship. We can talk about it one step at a time.”
Lu Ping pondered for a moment." Why don't we do this? We won't give you any remuneration for the time being. We'll just treat it as a share of the profits. When the box office results come out, we'll split the profits. We definitely won't let you lose money!"”
Luo Ya smiled." Alright, then it's settled." Right, do you still remember Song Lan, the judge for King of Masked Singers? She's also planning to join our production team. What do you think?”
"Song Lan? Not bad!"
Lu Ping's eyes lit up, but then he hesitated.
"Then her pay…"
Luo Ya said cleanly," Don't worry. Who knew you could get an investor yesterday? She was willing to contact me at that time, which means that we can definitely talk about the remuneration!"”
……
It was busy outside the studio.
The staff under Luo Ya were all extremely busy, making phone calls one by one.
However, when they heard that it was Lu Ping's movie, those celebrities either had their schedules filled up or directly rejected it. After half a day, they actually could not find a suitable candidate!
At this time, Luo Ya pushed open the door and walked out. She clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention.
"Stop fighting. The investment has been prepared. As for the actors, try to pick some old actors with good acting skills or newcomers with potential. As for young hunks…we won't invite them for this movie!”
The staff was stunned.
"Not inviting young hunks? The investor agreed?"
"Yeah, the investors aren't idiots. It's fine if the director is a newcomer, but the actors are also some outdated celebrities. Which financial backer would agree to it?”
Luo Ya's gaze swept across the crowd and said without a doubt,"This is the investor's request. Everyone, hurry up and start filming as soon as possible!”
……
On the other side, Lu Ping was also in front of his computer. He opened a document and began to think of a suitable candidate.
Who should he look for?
Currently, he had Joker and Violetglow. Song Lan would be given Bai Jingjing for the audition if the results were good.
After all, she was the first celebrity to take the initiative to join the production team, so she had to give her better treatment.
With just the three of them, they were already famous, and the popularity of the show was quite good. If there were no suitable veteran actors willing to take on the remaining roles, it was not a bad idea to give the newcomers a chance.
Most importantly…
Lu Ping was preparing to film the two parts of A Chinese Oath to the West together.
In the first movie, it was actually very difficult to choose a suitable candidate for the role of the second-in-command.
There weren't many suitable candidates in the current entertainment industry who wanted to bring out that cheap taste.
Lu Ping had put in a lot of effort into this matter. After all, it was his first movie.
After thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision. He got the number from Luo Ya's manager and dialed the first number.
Wu Peiran was an artist from the older generation and a skit actor. She was active in the Spring Festival Gala all year round and basically played the role of a clown. There was no need to mention her acting skills, but she had never acted in a movie before.
Beep beep beep…
Soon, the call went through.
"Hello?"
Wu Peiran picked up the phone. It was very quiet on the other end. It sounded like she was alone at home." Hello, who is it?”
"I'm Lu Ping."
Lu Ping tried his best to sound sincere." You must be Teacher Wu.”
"Lu Ping?" After a while, Wu Peiran finally reacted." Oh, oh, I know you. You sang 'Red Sun' and 'Open Sky,' right? It had been a long time since he had heard such a good song!”
"It's just so-so," Lu Ping said. Teacher Wu, do you have time recently?”
Wu Peiran's voice sounded very surprised." Yes, why are you looking for me?”
"It's just that I've been preparing for a movie recently and I want to invite you out. There's a role in the script that's very picky about acting skills. I've thought for a long time that you might be the only suitable actor in the entire entertainment industry.”
Wu Peiran declined." I've never acted in a movie before. You're looking for the wrong person. Why don't you take a look again?"”
Wu Peiran admitted that Lu Ping could sing well, but he suddenly went to film a movie…Wasn't this a mess?!
"No, no, no." Lu Ping quickly said,"How about this? Why don't I show you the script first? If you think it's suitable, we can talk about it. If it's not suitable, I'll give up. How about that?"”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll leak your plot?”
"How can I? I still have this bit of trust."
Wu Peiran was speechless.
"Alright, since you've said so much, I'll take a look first.”
Lu Ping smiled." Alright, then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance!”
