Entertainment: Top players who started out as trainees

Chapter 608: Transfer of Film Remuneration to Investment & Meeting

In the evening, Ning Luo dressed up in disguise and sneaked out with the chubby girl and the makeup artist sister to eat a bullfrog hotpot. It was so enjoyable that his scalp was tingling and his lungs were spitting fire.

After dinner, the three of them strolled on the street for a while and felt the atmosphere of the city of Jiangcheng.

This is not his first time to Jiangcheng, but it is his first time to film here.

Apart from being cold, I didn't feel anything at all.

Moreover, the coldness here is completely different from that in Ning Luo’s hometown island city, as well as the capital and Liao Province.

The average temperature was not too low, but there were gusts of wind that kept blowing through the seams of people's clothes.

What he couldn't accept the most was that there was no heating here!
Can you live without heating?

Tsk~
What’s even more difficult is that the plot of “Life Events” takes place in the summer.

This means that for the next three months, Ning Luo will need to wear short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and at most a thin jacket when filming.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

But he had nothing to complain about.

In fact, according to the original plan, the crew did want to shoot in spring and summer. The reason why it was finally decided to start shooting in December was entirely to accommodate his schedule.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Ning Luo’s schedule is too full, and this is the only time period he is free.

Can't we change the protagonist?

This is the Goddess of Luo River!

It was not easy to climb up here. Even if all the crew members were replaced, Luo Shen would have to stay here!

However, situations like shooting a summer scene in winter are actually quite common in film and television productions, so you just have to endure a little bit of suffering.

The only thing that made Ning Luo feel relieved was that the daytime temperature was still acceptable and he could get through it by gritting his teeth.

The next morning, Ning Luo rushed to the hotel conference room downstairs to attend a crew meeting.

In fact, a few days ago, when he was still rolling in the snow, most of the main actors in the crew had already arrived here in advance to participate in the script reading session and adapt to life.

However, although they did not meet offline, Ning Luo has always maintained good communication with the director, screenwriter and others, and discussed a lot about the character's personality and plot.

Moreover, during the preparations for the concert, he also held several video conferences with the director and several main actors, so he could be considered to have gotten to know them a little.

In the conference room.

Most of the main creative members have arrived and are chatting with each other in low voices. There is also a little girl laughing, so it’s not too noisy and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

As Ning Luo walked into the conference room, the laughter in the room suddenly stopped. Director Han Yan, who was in charge of the production, had his eyes light up and stood up to greet him with a smile.

Looking at the "comrade-in-arms" smile on the other person's face, Ning Luo also forced a warm smile, but he was actually a little resistant in his heart.

Wang Kai is a fellow of Director Han.

He had no intention of joining the "same path" with the two of them.

Half a point!

After chatting with Director Han, Ning Luo then greeted the two producers who came specially for the event in a familiar manner.

One of these two producers is his "good brother", Chen Yingjie, a senior executive of Xinli Media, and he has a deeply intertwined interest relationship with him.

Ning Luo previously starred in "Celebrating More Than Years" and "The Daily Life of a Lady", both of which were produced by him. After he decided to take on this drama, several companies such as Xinli Media and Penguin Films also got involved.

In fact, for the project of "Life Events", Ning Luo himself only received a small amount of remuneration, converted the bulk of it into investment shares, and invested an additional sum to participate in the dividends.

This method of using actors' pay to invest in projects is nothing new.

Not many, but quite a few first-line and top actors do this.

This method not only deepens the cooperation with the producers, but also enables more profits to be obtained on the basis of basic pay, greatly enhancing the imagination space of the actors' pay, while also making the actual income more invisible.

However, the amount of this extra income depends on the project itself and the actor's vision, and it is not as stable as direct film pay.

Ning Luo is quite confident in himself and this project.

The main reason is that the cost is low, and if the movie does a little bit of box office success, it will be much higher than the fixed salary he gets.

Of course, this is under the premise that he strictly abides by the "salary cap order".

For those stars who have ideas and various channels to circumvent the salary cap order, they really don't need to go through so much trouble like him.

The other producer came from Lianrui Pictures and had served as the producer of "Little Red Flower". He was an acquaintance of Ning Luo.

It is worth mentioning that this company has a good investment vision. Films such as "Eight Hundred", "Little Red Flower", "Hello, Li Huanying", and "My Sister" all have the shadow of this company.

He chatted with a few older brothers and director and screenwriter Liu Jiangjiang, nodded to a few main actors, and blinked at the young Nezha who was hugging his mother's thigh, staring at him curiously with his big eyes. Then he forced a humble smile, walked towards the only old man still sitting on the chair, bowed and greeted him.

This old man is called Luo Jingmin. He is a golden supporting actor who started out as a serious drama actor. He is a real veteran in the circle and has many classic screen images.

For example, "Xu Sanduo"'s father.

There are even many viewers who call him "China's Morgan Freeman".

Moreover, the old man is not only an actor in dramas, movies and TV series, but also a voice actor.

As of today, the old man has dubbed more than 20 TV series and more than movies.

Two words.

profession.

After saying hello, Ning Luo was finally able to sit down. He turned his head to look at the "young version of Nezha" who was sitting next to him, looking up at him intently with his little face tilted.

This little girl with two pigtails is named Yang Enyou. She is just nine years old this year and plays the role of the heroine Xiaowen.

But seriously speaking, Ning Luo still has to call her senior.

In 17, Yang Enyou, who was only four years old, went with her mother to visit her sister who was three years older than her. She was discovered by the director and embarked on the path of an actor. She has participated in four or five dramas so far.

The little Lolita looks very similar to Wen Qi, with a round face, big eyes, and slightly wide-set eyes. She looks childish yet stubborn, and has an inexplicable sense of recklessness.

A very contradictory little face.

People in the circle call it the "movie face" with dragon-like appearance.

For some reason, looking at her eyes, Ning Luo always had the illusion that she was going to jump up and hit his knee in the next second.

"What's wrong, Sister Wen, don't you recognize me~" Ning Luo narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to rub her round little head.

Although this was the first time the two met offline, in the previous video conferences, this girl was quite friendly to him and called him "Third Brother" all the time. Why did she change her attitude when they met offline?

　I coded for more than three hours.

　　The next chapter will be around 12 o'clock, godfathers.
