Chapter 39
*The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber*, 20 million investment.
Both sides of the strait and three places.
2001.
Li Luo's eyes were shrouded in smoke, his gaze flickering constantly.
*The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber* could also be considered a household name in martial arts novels, so it had been remade into quite a few film and television dramas. The only one that could fit the above points was Su Youpeng's version.
He didn't expect Wu Dun to be the investor hiding behind the scenes.
That drama could be described as having beauties like clouds.
Jia Jingwen, Gao Yuanyuan, Guo Feili, and others all appeared in the drama, so it left a very deep impression on him.
It started airing in early 2003.
So it had to start filming in 2002. Counting the time backward.
It was currently in the preparation stage.
Being approached by the other party should be the effect of the lucky cola. However, Li Luo muttered in his heart. He knew that when filming this kind of martial arts drama, the male and female leads were often the first to be decided.
Which meant Su Youpeng was definitely on the other party's list.
Something must have happened to make Wu Dun give up on Su Youpeng, or rather, Su Youpeng gave up on Wu Dun.
That was why he approached him.
The situation was definitely not as Wu Dun said, that this drama was created just to sign him.
Su Youpeng was currently very popular.
If he had a choice, Wu Dun definitely wouldn't have set his sights on him.
In other words.
Biting the cigar and taking a deep breath, Li Luo's eyes carried a hint of a smile.
This guy, in all likelihood, had no choice!
"How about it?"
Wu Dun flicked the ash and said with a smile: "Wu Ge treats you well, right? Not everyone can get this kind of condition."
This expression.
Was exactly like an old fox.
"Indeed."
Li Luo let out a long breath, his eyes reddening with gratitude: "I didn't expect that after so long, Wu Ge still remembers me. It's really nothing to say."
Decided, gamble on it.
If it succeeds, it's great, eat chicken at night.
If it doesn't succeed, it doesn't matter. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, no need to tie himself to death!
"Thank you for Wu Ge's kindness."
He shook his head slowly and said shamefully: "But I've always been free and loose, I really don't want to sign any talent agency, and I just started school during this period, I feel I need to calm down."
"Study well for a while before talking."
A few simple sentences made Wu Dun's heart beat half a beat slower.
He thought the other party would bow down immediately.
Didn't expect such a thing, study for a while, study my ass!
You kid study, what about my male lead.
Don't think there are many actors in the circle.
Needing a look and temperament suitable for being a lead, similar age, having certain acting skills and martial arts skills, and also having a suitable schedule—combining these conditions and shrinking them, there were very few.
The main thing was.
Wu Dun was from the Jianghu after all, so he would believe in some things.
When he was unlucky, he happened to see Li Luo appear handsomely on TV. In his opinion, this was heaven giving him guidance!
"Xiao Luo."
Wu Dun's fingers trembled, and he hurriedly grabbed Li Luo's hand: "Listen to me."
"President Wu."
Li Luo's heart jumped, shaking his head and sighing: "You listen to me first. I'm really free and loose. My dad used to beat me with a stick when I was a kid, but no way, I'm just this kind of person."
The old fox is anxious.
There's a door.
The point isn't studying, it's being free and loose.
The steps have already been given.
Hurry up and take them!
Grabbing Wu Dun's hand in return, he put on a difficult posture.
A businessman for many years, how could he not hear it.
Not only that.
Li Luo's acting skills were solid, but he was facing a thousand-year-old fox after all. Wu Dun saw that he had the intention to loosen up, first feeling happy, then quickly feeling a trace of something wrong.
The two held hands, looking at each other.
Their expressions were weird.
The bespectacled man moved his body unnaturally, feeling a few crows flying over in the air.
"You kid."
Flicking his palm, Wu Dun said angrily: "Playing mind games with me, right?"
"My Wu Ge." Li Luo didn't pretend anymore, spreading his hands openly: "I really don't want to sign a talent agency, I'm not targeting you, I treat everyone equally."
"During this period, it's not like no talent agencies have looked for me, I pushed them all away."
Taking out his Nokia, he directly showed the evidence.
The names of the talent agencies noted on the call logs left Wu Dun completely speechless.
When to pretend, you must pretend; when to be honest, you must be honest.
There were many people who were rejected.
Not one less than you.
If Li Luo had made things clear from the start, Wu Dun would definitely have felt awkward in his heart, but now that the two had circled around a few times and then laid out their cards, the old Jianghu felt much better.
At least he felt this kid was still quite honest.
"Fine."
Wu Dun sighed regretfully and cheered up again: "If you don't sign, you don't sign, but I'm serious about that drama. Do you want to take this lead?"
"Zhang Wuji?"
"That's right."
"How much is the pay?"
Li Luo asked unceremoniously. Since they had laid it out, he would be straightforward.
"This number."
Wu Dun held out his palm and said seriously: "After all, you are a newcomer actor, this number is already very good, but if you are willing to sign with my company, I can give you more!"
He didn't forget to add a hook at the end.
Although actors can make a drama, more often than not, dramas make actors famous.
Since he wasn't one of his own.
Then the pay must be kept low.
But Li Luo wasn't stupid either.
So what if he gave more, it would still be deducted.
"A bit low."
Li Luo looked troubled and said tangledly: "It's not that I want to bargain, but I'm the male lead after all. Getting so little money, I'd be laughed to death if I told anyone!"
Playing Lin Pingzhi, he got more than 40,000.
Now playing Zhang Wuji, he only got 50,000. He felt awkward in his heart.
Although he could be the male lead and expand his influence and popularity quickly after the drama became popular, Li Luo still felt the money was too little. After all, he had Lin Pingzhi as a base.
Raising it by 10,000 or 20,000 wasn't excessive.
"Fine."
Wu Dun thought for a moment, feeling it made sense, and held up a gesture of six: "Then 600,000, no more, and Zhang Cuishan must also be played by you, no problem?"
Looking at the two fingers raised at the ends.
Li Luo gulped.
He really thought the price the other party offered just now was 50,000. After all, on such a big investment drama, he wasn't willing to sign the other party's company, and he was a newcomer, so the pay would definitely be pressed very low.
Using pay to exchange for popularity and influence.
He thought it was still worth it.
But he never expected that the compressed pay was still 600,000. He just grinded a sentence, and it rose by another 100,000!!!
Now the average price of a new house in the Third Ring Road is about 5,000 yuan per square meter.
Although it's not cheap.
But compared to later generations, it's simply cabbage price!
Which means this wave directly bought more than half a house in the Third Ring Road of the capital.
As long as you can make it in this industry.
It's really fucking profitable!
It seems he needs to ask Xu Qing more about the industry's pay. He can never talk about prices so rashly again in the future.
He should also ask about the price for those who ask him to film.
Still rejecting it in a few sentences like before, it's easy to suffer a dark loss without knowing it.
He wore a full face of smiles and gripped Wu Dun's hand hard: "Wu Ge, you are really an honest person. Don't worry, I'll take this job!"
