Yang Mi 'er was very efficient. That night, Chen Juan called Su Cheng.
Out of the five directors, Yang Mi 'er had deleted two directors with bad reviews, leaving only one four-star director available.
His name was Wu Zhuo Xin.
Su Cheng learned from Chen Juan that this Wu Zhuoxin was very unlucky.
He was originally a five-star director, but after shooting three spy films in a row, his reputation and ratings were all terrible. He lost more than 100 million to the investment company behind him, and his rating dropped from the peak of five-star to four-star. The key was that no one asked him to act anymore.
Su Cheng had seen Wu Zhuoxin's spy movies before. His level was definitely not below any five-star director. It was even comparable to a six-star director. The main problem was that the plot was too bad. It was simply insulting the audience's intelligence.
Wu Zhuoxin had the skill, and the price was not expensive. He also had an S-rated script like "Lurker", so it could be said to be a match made in heaven.
Hence, he immediately called Wu Zhuoxin.
The next day, Su Cheng met Wu Zhuoxin in a teahouse in Yan City.
"Director Wu, I don't like to beat around the bush. This is the script for "Lurk" that I wrote. You can take a look at it. If you think it's good, you can be the director, and I'll be the investor and lead actor. Let's work together.”Su Cheng placed the script in front of Wu Zhuoxin and said straightforwardly.
Wu Zhuoxin was a little confused by Su Cheng's actions. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said,""Alright."
Wu Zhuoxin picked up the script for "Lurker" and started reading it.
It took him two whole hours.
The more Wu Zhuoxin read, the more shocked he became. The plot of "Lurker" was simply too good. It was more than a notch better than his representative work.
Su Cheng wasn't in a hurry. He sipped his tea and played with his phone.
It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the afternoon that he said,""Director Wu, shouldn't we talk about it?”
Wu Zhuoxin came back to his senses and said excitedly,"Mr. Su, I'm willing to film this 'Lurk'. Even if you don't pay."
Wu Zhuoxin had already confirmed that "Lurker" would be his comeback. It might very well be his last life-saving straw. No matter how much he had to pay, he had to grab hold of it.
"Although I'm also a pauper, I still have to give the money I deserve." The salary of a four-star director is between 50,000 and 150,000 per episode. I can give you the best 150,000. However, it would depend on the viewership ratings of 'Lurk'.”
In the entertainment industry of Xia country, film investors could postpone the payment of the director's salary in order to spend money on production.
However, this method was very risky for the director.
If the work earned a lot of money, everything would naturally be fine.
On the contrary, if the director did not make any money or even lost money, although he did not have to pay for it, it was very likely that he would not get a single cent.
With Wu Zhuoxin's current situation, he had no choice at all. He agreed without hesitation.
"Mr. Su, if you're playing the main character, Yu Zecheng, what about the other actors? Are you sure? Wu Zhuoxin asked.
"No." Su Cheng shook his head. This "Lurker" was a group drama, so they had to find actors with outstanding acting skills.”
"Director Wu, you are very knowledgeable and know many actors. You can decide on the candidates. I will be in charge of the final checks.”
"I only have one request. We can't let a rat shit ruin our whole pot of porridge.”
Wu Zhuoxin said happily,"That's great." The main characters in "Lurker" are very distinct, and I have many suitable actors in mind. I can give you a name list tonight.”
"Alright," Su Cheng said. However, I want actors who are cost-effective. We only have 30 million yuan, so it's best not to look for actors who are too popular.”
"I understand," Wu Zhuoxin said.”
At this moment, Su Cheng's phone suddenly rang.
He opened it and saw that it was a call from Yang Mi 'er.
"Yang Xiao…No, Beauty Yang, what instructions do you have?”
"Su Cheng, I want to invest in 'Lurk'.”
"I knew you wouldn't be able to resist investing." Su Cheng smiled. No problem, 20%."
"I want to play Wang Cuiping," said Yang Mi 'er.”
"Forget it!"
Su Cheng refused without hesitation."You look like this and you still want to play Wang Cuiping? Dream on. Look at your temperament. Which part of you is like the simple and bold Wang Cuiping?”
Yang Mi 'er was furious and said,"An actor is about turning the impossible into the possible. I can play the role of Wang Cuiping with my acting skills. Why not?"
"First of all, you're too expensive. The crew can't afford your salary." Secondly, you have to make an album. You won't be able to free up your schedule in two months. Third, your image is seriously inconsistent with Wang Cuiping's. Just based on these three conditions, I can reject you.”
