Chapter 483: Solving the actor

Among the complaints of a group of new actors, Ma Mingqi's silence seemed very abrupt.

In the past, whenever something happened in the crew, he was the first to rush to express his opinions, wanting to highlight his "excellence" anytime, anywhere.

Wang Hongdou and Ma Mingqi were used to bickering. The two couldn't look at each other and couldn't do anything about each other.

Seeing Ma Mingqi not speaking, Wang Hongdou spoke straightforwardly as usual: "Ma Mingqi, did you sign the contract?"

Ma Mingqi hung his head to think about things, the chopsticks in his hand kept poking the broccoli on the plate, and his expression was a bit dull.

Wang Hongdou asked him for the first time, and he didn't react.

The person beside him heard it and pushed Ma Mingqi.

"Mingqi, Hongdou just asked you a question. She asked if you signed the supplementary contract."

Ma Mingqi came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "No, the company is strict, I haven't signed yet."

"The company is strict?" Wang Hongdou was a bit puzzled, "Isn't your company the same company as Dahua? Dahua got the manager's permission to sign, and you haven't got permission?"

Liu Dahua and Ma Mingqi are in the same company, both are second-tier small companies, with some resources in the circle, but not many.

However, Liu Dahua's appearance conditions are not as outstanding as Ma Mingqi's, and her figure is a bit fat. The company signed her because they took a fancy to her comedy talent, thinking she could be a comedian in the future.

Even if she couldn't act in comedy, she could show her face in variety shows, as long as she was likable.

Now variety shows are diverse. Not every variety show needs all beauties and all handsome guys. Occasionally, some "ugly men" and "ugly women" are needed to adjust the atmosphere.

How did that sentence go? As long as you have a sense of humor, or have enough talent, appearance doesn't matter.

Liu Dahua was sitting opposite Ma Mingqi. Hearing this, she asked curiously: "Has Brother Luo replied to you yet? He said this kind of contract is very normal, but the liquidated damages set by the 'Mediocre' crew will be higher, the terms are stricter, as long as your own conduct has no problems, you can sign."

Wang Hongdou asked: "Brother Luo? Are you and Ma Mingqi the same manager?"

Liu Dahua nodded: "Right, Brother Luo brought me and Brother Ma to participate in the interview, and we were both chosen by the director together."

Ma Mingqi's mouth pulled out a smile, "Has Brother Luo replied to us? I was busy before and didn't pay attention to WeChat. I'll go see it later."

After eating in a hurry, Ma Mingqi made an excuse to go to the bathroom and left the canteen first.

Others didn't feel strange, but Wang Hongdou, who had been bickering with Ma Mingqi, had a flash of thought in her eyes.

Strange, very strange.

Ma Mingqi is a bit abnormal today.

On the other side, Ma Mingqi ran back to the homestay, took out the supplementary contract from his bag, and read it over and over again, always feeling that some points mentioned in it were specifically supplemented for him.

"Actors cannot have any illegal or criminal behavior, including owing huge loans, damaged credit..."

Ma Mingqi bit his lip. He even wanted to borrow a million from relatives yesterday!

Originally, he wasn't prepared to write an IOU, but his father called him last night. If he didn't write an IOU, relatives wouldn't lend him money, so he had to write an IOU.

But investment has risks. Once the investment fails, if he doesn't hide in time, he is very likely to be chased by relatives for debt.

And besides borrowing from relatives, he has always been borrowing from loan software, and one of them can't be paid back. They called to threaten him that if he didn't repay the loan, his credit would be damaged.

Ma Mingqi ignored it. Damaged credit doesn't affect his work. As long as he doesn't buy a house, everything else is easy to say.

But Ye Dao happened to write in the contract that he would check the credit of every actor. Once it is damaged, it will be regarded as a breach of contract.

Ma Mingqi didn't want to go to this step. If it was found out by the director during the filming process, it would be too shameful.

How would other actors look at him then?

He hesitated, opened WeChat, clicked on the chat interface of manager Brother Luo, and wanted to say something.

He typed a large paragraph of text, but finally, not knowing what he thought of, he deleted all the text and simply called.

"Hey, Mingqi, what's the matter? Did you sign the supplementary contract for your crew? You can sign it. If you don't sign it, you can't film." Brother Luo's voice came.

Ma Mingqi said stammeringly: "Brother Luo, I took a picture of the contract and sent it to you. Have you read it?"

"I read it. No problem. Now the crew is very strict about the actor's personal conduct. Don't say whether there is a record of illegal or criminal behavior. Even if there isn't, but the actor says inappropriate words and makes some inappropriate behaviors and is detained, it will affect the release of the crew."

Brother Luo said earnestly: "The crew doing this is also wanting to add an insurance. As an actor, you must also cherish your feathers.

I have a feeling that this play 'Mediocre' will explode once it goes online. You are the third male lead in the play. Once you have some fame, you can take endorsements. The conduct terms set in those advertising contracts will be even stricter than the crew..."

Ma Mingqi interrupted his words and said: "Brother Luo, it's not this matter. I have something here, that is, that is, my credit might have some problems..."

Jin Li didn't know if there was anything wrong with Ma Mingqi, and what Ye Dao's consideration was. She only knew that when the crew started filming in the afternoon, Ma Mingqi had already signed the contract and was filming normally in the crew.

The afternoon scene was to continue painting the wall. There was nothing to say about this. Just roll up your sleeves and continue to work.

After painting the wall for an afternoon under the winter sun, everyone's face was dirty, all stained by paint and wall dust.

Their clothes were basically not clean and tidy, all stained with paint.

"Ma Mingqi, come here." Ye Dao hadn't finished packing things, so he called Ma Mingqi.

The two went to a private place alone to chat.

Jin Li didn't stay, went straight to the canteen, Driver Xiao Cheng followed on the side, but Chen Qin stayed to inquire about the news.

She had talked to Sister Fang last night. Sister Fang said this was a key observation object, and the crew might explode because of Ma Mingqi!

It didn't matter if she wasn't in the crew, but since she was in the crew, she must grasp the first-hand news.

"Stayed inside for a long time, I calculated, a full hour and a half, the sky was completely dark, and the two of them came out."

At night, Chen Qin returned to the homestay, and before she could even eat dinner, she couldn't wait to share the melon she saw.

Jin Li asked with a smile: "You stared at them straight, wouldn't they think you are very strange?"

Chen Qin giggled: "Shouldn't think it's strange. I wore a black down jacket, and my pants were also black. At that time, the crew was already empty, everyone had dispersed. I saw them come out, so I immediately turned off the phone screen. They shouldn't have seen me."

She paused and said in a small voice: "But I could see the light emitted from their phone screens, and quietly followed them all the way behind."

Jin Li asked strangely: "I remember there are street lights in that area. Didn't they turn on the street lights?"

Chen Qin shook her head: "It's not time to turn on yet, it's still half an hour away."

Jin Li didn't know whether to say Chen Qin's luck was good, or she had the potential to be a paparazzi.

How could she follow someone all the way so powerfully without being discovered.

Driver Xiao Cheng asked curiously: "Sister Chen Qin, don't sell the key, what did they say?"

Chen Qin: "Actually, I didn't hear it very clearly. Ye Dao has been educating Ma Mingqi, saying that people shouldn't slap their faces to make themselves fat, that a person's life is only once, don't die for face and suffer, and also said that it's better for people to cry poor. If you cry poor, no one will borrow money from you, saving a lot of trouble..."

Jin Li thought for a while, "Ye Dao's words to him can be considered as heart-to-heart."

Now it has been filmed for half a month. If they can not change people, it is definitely the best.

Ma Mingqi dared to sign that contract, and Ye Dao had no reason to resign him. Otherwise, with Ma Mingqi's personality, green tea, and revenge, it wouldn't look good if it was made a fuss.

But no matter what, he was still very worried that he would explode, so he communicated with him alone.

Jin Li thought: "Ye Dao probably didn't just talk to Ma Mingqi so simply, but would also find Ma Mingqi's company. No matter what, the company has the obligation to restrain artists.

Don't think that if an artist has an accident, the company can't escape the relationship. They should pay as they should, unless that company doesn't want to mix anymore."

It might be that Ye Weijie really has some metaphysics. He listened to the words he said to the village chief.

After that, the village chief felt that Ma Mingqi was too young, and he refused his investment because he refused to verify capital.

In addition, Ma Mingqi's manager also appeared in the crew on the third day after signing the supplementary contract, letting Ma Mingqi ask for an afternoon off to talk well.

If others ask for leave, Ye Weijie will definitely not pay attention.

But as soon as Ma Mingqi asked for leave, he approved it immediately.

Because it was approved too quickly, there was a rumor in the crew—"Ye Dao thinks highly of Ma Mingqi!"

When Ye Weijie knew this rumor, his face turned green.

Forget it, saying he thinks highly of him is not bad, but it's not the fourth tone of "think highly of," but the first tone of "watch."

Watching Ma Mingqi well, not letting him make trouble, is what Ye Weijie has to do besides filming.

The internet-famous check-in painting wall is finally done!

On the day of completion, Yuan Xiaoxia asked all cadres to take pictures, send them out through various official channels, and also called on villagers to take pictures and send them to Moments.

This wind of wall painting in Chitang Village didn't blow tourists here, but instead blew the villagers of other villages here.

The villagers of these villages all saw the Moments of the villagers of Chitang Village and came to Chitang Village specifically to see.

They also saw those young village officials and were all jealous.

"Why didn't our village have college student village officials assigned? Look at how flexible these college students' brains are. With them helping to do publicity, why worry that the village won't flourish?"

"Right, Chitang Village has also been made quite decent. Even the roads have been repaired, and the monument of merit has been set up!"

"Why don't we dig them over? Our village is much richer than Chitang Village. As long as they are willing to be attentive to our village, the welfare benefits are easy to say?!"

The villagers of Chitang Village were also admiring the wall painting. This beautiful landscape was very rare for the villagers of the village. If someone touched it, they would be accused by other villagers:

"What are you touching? If you touch it, you draw it?"

When these villagers heard that people from other villages actually wanted to poach, they immediately turned their faces and shouted loudly:

"At the beginning, four village officials were assigned. All the villages near us held meetings to discuss who would receive them. It was your village that didn't want them, so they were assigned to our village. Now you want to dig the wall corner, is it reasonable?"

People from other villages also shouted back loudly: "Then how good is your Chitang Village? You didn't want them at the time, so you agreed to draw lots. Whoever caught the turtle received the village official.

It was your Chitang Village's bad luck to catch it. Now that you see these village officials are quite good, you don't want to admit your original dislike?"

The villagers of the two sides made a fuss, and the scene was very lively.

Ye Weijie laughed while filming. He only set three lines for the villagers for this scene, and they were all very short, all perfected and said by the villagers themselves.

Letting the villagers improvise, the effect is good.

Seeing that the deputy director didn't film, Jin Li asked: "Where did Ye Dao find the villagers? I seem to have never seen these villagers playing people from other villages."

Only the elderly were left in Chitang Village. There were only a few who were selected by the crew to film. They met every day, even if they didn't have much contact, just looking at their faces was familiar.

The deputy director said with joy: "The director was worried that asking people from the same village wouldn't make a fuss, so these performers from other villages were invited from other villages!"

Jin Li laughed.

She thought it was acting, but now it seems that this scolding is also quite true.

People from other villages are indeed jealous of Chitang Village. No wonder the scolding is so real, even with dissatisfaction and scolding together.

Ye Dao filmed and filmed, feeling that the local villagers and people from other villages were going to fight. The heat was almost there, so he immediately let the village officials appear.

Yuan Xiaoxia, played by Jin Li, took the lead to smooth things over, and also presented some methods to improve the village's conditions, and persuaded the villagers from other villages to leave.

When Jin Li was filming, Qi Guan Mingzhu and Ji Qinglian were also busy running announcements.

This time they stayed abroad for three days. After returning to China, they immediately rushed to the company to prepare for a new joint activity.

This joint name is not a milk tea joint name, but a game task figure joint name. A certain game character launched a figure that combines the personal characteristics of Qi Guan Mingzhu and Ji Qinglian.

Qi Guan Mingzhu's exclusive figure specifically designed a beautiful pearl hair accessory for the anime character, wearing a pearl-buttoned cheongsam, like a delicate and soft human wealth flower.

And the figure designed for Ji Qinglian is that the anime character has a red lotus mark on the center of the eyebrows, green Lingbo water sleeves, and sits cross-legged on the green lotus platform, which is a cool and sassy chivalrous woman.

They got the joint samples in the company and couldn't help but feel surprised.

As a senior anime enthusiast, Qi Guan Mingzhu looked at the figure with a critical eye and nodded: "It's done quite well."

Ji Qinglian said with satisfaction: "Just looking at them, I feel pleasing to the eye. It's a pity that I often go out to run announcements and don't use the studio much, otherwise I want to put her on the studio."

Zhang Guang sat in the office and smiled when he heard this: "The game company attaches great importance to this joint figure. The milk tea that sold out before gave them strong confidence, and the standards for every item of the mold are very high."

Qi Guan Mingzhu asked: "How much inventory do they plan to release in the first batch."

Zhang Guang: "200,000 pieces each."

Qi Guan Mingzhu pondered for a while and shook her head: "I'm afraid it's far from enough."

Zhang Guang smiled: "Selling alone is not enough, so it needs to be combined with opening a monthly card to sell, or buying related game character skins.

The game company told me that if the figure's money-sucking situation is good, they want to customize character skins in the game for you separately." ===== CHAPTER 484 =====
