Chapter 366: Such an Audition, Even Wu Jing Was Shocked (1, Guaranteed)

Yu Bo has two courtyard houses in Beijing, one next to Lama Temple and one in Shichahai. However, the price of courtyard houses in Beijing is not that exaggerated now. Huang Xiaoming, who may be the richest actor on the scene, glanced at his brother Kun, who had high eyebrows and low eyes. What does it mean?

Let us write our own salary, so we will get as much as we write?

Or, if we are selected, the salary will be based on what we write. If we write less, it will be a big loss!

Or, if we write too high, will it be considered as asking too much and be rejected directly?

But Wang Quan also said that we should not deliberately write low, but reflect our own value.

The question Wang Quan asked was like a psychological test question, which made the ten candidates start to make their own calculations in their hearts.

They need to write two numbers. The salary for the first film now means their value in the circle at this time, and the salary for the sixth film about ten years later will test their potential.

Huang Xiaoming's current salary is about 2 million. The salary for the first film was 2 million, and the salary for the sixth film was simply multiplied by six, 12 million.

His salary is already relatively high. Chen Kun also wrote 2 million for the first film and 10 million for the sixth film. He feels that 10 million is already a figure that he can hardly imagine. If it is higher, he will feel that he is not worthy of it.

However, there are some who are higher than Huang Xiaoming. Zhao Wenzhuo's salary for the first film was 1 million, and 20 million for the sixth film. Wu Jing's salary for the first film was 500,000, and 15 million for the sixth film.

Both of them have been in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and know how terrible the salary of Hong Kong action stars is. Let alone Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, just take Zhen Zidan's current salary for starring in "Ip Man 2" as an astonishing 30 million. If they starred in Wang Quan's movie and the first five Ghost Blows Out the Light, they should be about the same, not to mention exceeding Zhen Zidan. This is already a big underestimate.

But they were not the most exaggerated. The one with the highest number was Deng Chao, who got 1 million for the first movie and 30 million for the sixth movie, the highest among the ten people present.

Wang Quan couldn't help asking Deng Chao, "Teacher Deng Chao, the salary you wrote is very high."

Deng Chao's forehead immediately broke out in sweat. He thought he was the highest, and you guys were too hypocritical. He was about to say that he wrote an extra zero, but Wang Quan asked again, "Can you tell me what you thought about writing like this?"

Deng Chao hurriedly stood up to answer, and Wang Quan pressed his hand, "Sit down and talk."

"Director, this is what I think. If our movie can be made to the sixth movie, it will be so successful. Maybe it will have gone global. Moreover, I am optimistic about our mainland film market. In the future, there will definitely be movies with a box office of tens of billions, and the salary of top actors may exceed 100 million. So the number I wrote is based on the judgment of the film market ten years later."

The implication is that in the future, the salary of top actors will exceed 100 million, and I only want 30 million. Isn't it very generous?

Wang Quan nodded. Actually, the number Deng Chao wrote had not touched his heart. There was no exorbitant amount of money. People of this generation really could not imagine the prosperity of the market and the high pay in ten years. Their imagination was not open.

Moreover, in the blockbuster series, the actors and the characters are deeply bound together, so the pay cannot be saved too much. Robert Downey Jr.'s pay for the first and last time he played Iron Man increased by 150 times.

Rather than being stingy with the pay and causing disunity, it is better to pay enough at the beginning, so that the actors can devote themselves to the creation of the characters and reduce worries.

If Xu Zheng could be more generous to Wang Baoqiang in the future, perhaps the囧 series would not have reached a dead end, and the Tang Tan series would not have had the opportunity to rise.

Seeing that Deng Chao, who usually laughed and joked, was obviously nervous, Wang Quan comforted him, "In fact, high pay is sometimes a kind of protection for actors, allowing actors to focus more on their acting career, rather than doing something else for a higher level of enjoyment, which will not only distract their attention, but also sometimes lead them astray."

Chen Kun looked at his Xiao Ming. Oh, why is his face red?

Xiao Ming: Radiant!

Actually, it was because he had the most side jobs among them, because he felt that acting was incomparable to the money earned from business. He just bought some Huayi stocks, and now it has increased dozens of times, earning more than 100 million. How many plays can earn so much!

Wang Quan said again, "Of course, high pay and high risk are relative. If we can cooperate this time, the liquidated damages in the contract are also very high. I hope everyone can understand."

For example, our crew has prepared everything, and we can make hundreds of millions of dollars after the release, but you were banned because of violating laws and disciplines. Sorry, you need to bear the risk yourself.

However, he believed that these people in front of him would not have such a thing, otherwise Wang Quan would not let them go to the audition round.

Wang Quan used a small test to liven up the atmosphere and asked everyone to drink some water. At this time, others were curiously staring at Deng Chao, asking how much money you wrote. Let the director ask it alone. When we ask for a higher pay in the future, we can't be higher than you.

Then Clara handed out a "Ghost Blowing Light Professional Level 10 Exam" test paper to everyone. It was jointly prepared by Tianxia Bachang and the company's Dengsi'er. There were 20 questions in total, fill-in-the-blank and multiple choice, with a total of 100 points.

Everyone was very confident. Since Wang Quan announced the new film plan a month ago, these actors who had ideas about the male lead have read the first part of Ghost Blowing Light, and some have even read the entire series.

However, the first question stumped many people.

"1. What is Hu Bayi's date of birth?"

We know that it is August 1st, but not everyone knows the specific year.

"2. Who are the four factions of the Thief Sect?"

This is simple. Wait a minute, how do you write xie in xieling?

"3. What is Hu Bayi's education level? A primary school, B junior high school, C high school, D technical secondary school."...

Huang Jianxin reminded, "Don't whisper to each other and don't peek at other people's answers. Maybe they are wrong."

Wu Jing scratched his head after hearing this. Just now he was looking at Gu Zhixin's answer. The young man answered quickly.

Wang Quan gave them half an hour. After the papers were collected, Chen Chuling was responsible for judging them. Wang Quan took the opportunity to chat with them, "Don't worry, everyone, this is just a small test. It's not a big deal."

Chen Chuling finished reading the paper quickly, and Wang Quan read the results, "From low to high, Zhao Wenzhuo scored 45 points, Gu Zhixin scored 50 points..."

Wu Jing glanced at Xiaogu: Damn, it turns out you are not as good as me!

Gu Zhixin: But I was the first to hand in the paper!

"Wu Jing scored 60 points, Qin Hao scored 60 points, and Chen Kun scored 70 points."

Wu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and passed! Long live passing!

After reading these five, Wang Quan paused and said, "Zhu Yawen scored 75 points, Yu Bo scored 80 points, Liu Ye scored 85 points, Huang Xiaoming scored 90 points, and Deng Chao scored 95 points. Congratulations to Teacher Deng Chao. He is indeed the man who proposed a salary of 30 million. You deserve it for your hard work.”

Wang Quan was telling the truth, but Deng Chao thought that Wang Quan was deliberately shaming him, and his face turned red. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, with disbelief in his eyes, as if to say: You are too dare to ask for it. Come on, you are crazy!

Especially Huang Xiaoming, as if he was looking at a fool, who is the first brother of Huayi? I only want 12 million, you are finished, you will definitely be out of business, I tell you.

Wang Quan continued, "In addition to Deng Chao, I would also like to congratulate the top five teachers."

Hearing this, Chen Kun, Wu Jing and others felt their hearts tremble. Could it be that they have been eliminated? Is this exam so important?

However, Wang Quan asks everyone to follow him next, and it seems that he is not going to be eliminated directly.

A bus downstairs picked them up, but when they got on the bus, everyone's eyes had to be blindfolded. Wang Quan also reminded, "Without eyes and ears, everyone pays attention to the surrounding environment along the way."

Liu Ye: Oh my god, is it so exciting? It’s just an audition!

Chen Kun: This is definitely the most unforgettable audition in my life. It feels like an agent joint.

Wu Jing: Where are they taking us? Isn't it some military base?

Zhu Yawen: It’s fun, it’s really fun!

Qin Hao: Humph, you are trying to be mysterious, what is there to hear on this road? By the way, you can probably analyze the route by listening to the sound of the bus announcing its stop!

After being taken to the place, the top five were taken away first and asked to change into a new outfit. The bottom five could only wait slowly with blindfolds on. The test just now was for the purpose of distinguishing between them.

About an hour later, the five people came back and took off their blindfolds, and the other five people were taken away again.

Zhu Yawen asked about his doubts along the way, "Director, why did you ask us to listen to the sounds outside on the road? It seems to be of no use."

Wang Quan, "It's really useless. It's just to give you something to do and save you from thinking."

Zhu Yawen and the other five:...

Liu Ye asked again, "Then are there any differences between the top five and the bottom five?"

Wang Quan pointed at the clothes on his body, "You have a look, which makes you more immersed, but they don't."

Five Liu Ye people:...

Wang Quan, "Don't underestimate this makeup. With them, the shooting effect will be better, and I will ultimately decide on Hu Bayi based on your performance just now."

The five people immediately became happy, saying that the top five is really useful.

This is actually an escape room store, opened by a high school classmate of Wang Quan, and it is also the first one in Beijing. The escape room they just took them to experience is a recently designed tomb robbing themed escape room, and it has not been made public yet. They are the first batch to experience it. .

Wang Quan put each of them in for ten minutes and asked them to decipher the identity of Hu Bayi, and there were always three photographers and five fixed lenses around him to follow and record.

The most important thing Wang Quan wanted to see was whether the actor and the costume would be coordinated in a tomb, and whether there would be any violation or discomfort. It was equivalent to a short test shoot.

While waiting, Wang Quan and Zhu Yawen changed their clothes and went downstairs to play a game of three-on-three basketball. Wang Quan felt that his skills had greatly improved and he often intercepted the ball while walking. Although the throw was as inaccurate as ever, But he became the top scorer in the game.

After breaking out in a sweat, the other five actors returned.

Ten people had arrived and the afternoon had passed. Wang Quan smiled and said, "I'm very happy to meet you all today. Seeing you makes me see the future of Chinese-language films. I don't know if you have time tonight. I'll invite you to a banquet at Mei Mansion." Have a meal.”

"I have time!" Zhu Yawen was the first to respond. He had never been to that valuable place. He and Qin Hao should be the poor ones here.

Several of these ten people had been to the Meifu Banquet. They used to want to meet Wang Quan, but now they were invited by Wang Quan. This has a very different meaning. Naturally, everyone raised their hands in agreement.

On the bus back, everyone was in a daze. The audition ended like this. It was too hasty. Everyone was reflecting on whether they did not perform well in the secret room just now.

Wang Quan told them, "I will personally edit your performance in the secret room into a short film, which will be a small gift for the losers."

This small gift cheered up most of the depressed people. Wang Quan has only made a few short films, and the last one won an Oscar. Now he wants to make a short film for himself. Even if he can't play his role, it's worth it!

Then Wu Jing began to beat his chest and stamp his feet, "I was confused when I went in. I didn't know where to start. It took me five minutes to get into the state. I guess the material is not good."

Then they began to discuss what clues they found in the secret room and how many tests they passed.

It is definitely impossible to pass the secret room in the first ten minutes. The dumber ones may not even find a clue. This is the case for the four people including Wu Jing. Although some people did not successfully decipher the secret, their performance was not bad at all, and they acted very Hu Bayi.

The most successful one is Liu Ye. He really played in it and solved three clues. If he is given another 20 minutes, he will probably be able to get out by himself.

When they arrived at the Mei Mansion Banquet, the private room had been prepared for them. Huang Jianxin and Chen Chuling arrived first and did not see Mei Yanqiu because they were still in Los Angeles taking care of a pregnant woman.

During the meal, Wang Quan told them, "I will wait for Shirley Yang's role to be auditioned, and then decide on the candidate based on the compatibility of the two roles."

The day after tomorrow, the actresses will be auditioned. The two male and female protagonists actually affect each other. For example, if Zhu Yawen is chosen, the actress must be a young post-80s. If Li Bingbing is chosen as the actress, then Zhu Yawen, who was born in 1984, will be eliminated first.

Wang Quan added, "After making a decision, if you are selected, I will call to notify you personally. If you are unfortunately not selected, I will send a text message. Please remember my mobile phone number."

Qin Hao, Gu Zhixin and others were delighted. Even if they were not selected, they could get Wang Quan's private number, which meant that they had connections in the film industry.

After the show, Deng Chao immediately called Sun Li back and told her about his embarrassing experience today.

Liu Ye hurried home to tell his pregnant wife Anna about his experience today.

Chen Kun also called Zhou Xun to talk about this novel audition experience.

Huang Xiaoming called Zhao V, but the other party was on the phone, and kept on the phone...

Single Wu Jing had no one to talk to, so he thought of Xie Nan, the female host of "Best Scene", and couldn't help but smile. But the other party didn't seem to like him very much, and her attitude was a bit evasive. Did she dislike my age or dislike that I didn't take a shower?

Just thinking about it, a somewhat unexpected call came, "Brother Jing, are you in Beijing?"

The caller was Lu Jingshan, the heroine of Wu Jing's first directorial work "Wolf Tooth". It was also Lu Jingshan's debut film. Although it was not a very successful work, it was very meaningful to both of them.

"Shanshan, I'm in Beijing, what's the matter?"

"I came to Beijing to participate in an audition. I'll invite you to dinner."

"Okay, I'll decide the place and I'll definitely arrange it for you. By the way, what play are you auditioning for? Do you want me to say hello for you?"

Saying hello doesn't mean that I can help her get the role, but just to ensure that she won't be bullied.

"Ah, really? That's great. Then Brother Jing, can you say hello to Director Wang Quan?"

Wu Jing, "..."
