"Menjie, I was able to spend 10 million to hire you to star in a movie. It was definitely the most suitable deal I've ever made in my life!"

Just when Menjie fully demonstrated his strong strength, his A+ level acting skills, and the fourth top temperament among all Chinese movie stars, all his strength after integrating high-end temperament was displayed in front of director Li An

After that, Li An would often say this to Men Jie.

Indeed!

If we combine all of Menjie's acting skills, popularity, temperament and ability, and add that Menjie's own temperament is very suitable for the male protagonist Mr. Yi in the movie "Lust, Caution", director Li An gives a very clear explanation of Menjie.

evaluate.

Menjie's overall quality is definitely worth 25 million soft girl coins for the movie "Lust, Caution"!

A salary of 25 million yuan corresponds to the top actor with S-level acting skills and popularity in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Of course, not counting Tony Leung, actors like Li Lianjie are infinitely close to the top actor.

At this level, as long as the movie "Lust, Caution" is officially released and everyone sees Menjie's strength, Menjie's net worth will skyrocket.

However, before the movie "Lust, Caution" was released, people did not know what Menjie's true strength was. Therefore, no matter whether he was shooting any movie, Menjie could only get a salary of more than 10 million at most, which was definitely a loss.

Buy and sell.

But it doesn't matter. In fact, before the movie "Lust, Caution" was released, Menjie had no intention of going out to take roles.

It was Menjie's idea to participate in his own company's movie "Certificate of Investment". After all, it is a work of his own company, and all the money he makes is his own, so there is no problem of overpaying or underpaying.

Even after a little thought, Menjie directly offered himself a salary of 16 million soft girl coins.

When Menjie participated in the movie "Lust, Caution" with his A-level acting skills, he already earned about 10 million yuan. After that, even if Menjie's acting breakthrough, temperament breakthrough and many other factors are not taken into account, people are very

It is clear that Menjie's popularity is terrifying. Given 16 million soft girl coins, it is equivalent to the price of an ordinary top actor with S-level acting skills, which is considered normal.

This price is the same as the salary given to Andy Lau in the movie "The Proposal". If the price is higher than this price, Andy Lau's face will not look good, so Menjie decided.

While Menjie was thinking about it, the phone suddenly rang. After taking a look at the caller, Menjie quickly showed a look of surprise, "Hello? Director Chen? I'm Menjie!"

The caller turned out to be Chen Kexin, another top director in China. He has directed the movies "A Tale of Two Cities", "The Three Heroes", "Golden Leaves 2", "Sweet Honey" and many other films, and supervised the production.

I don’t know how many great film directors there are.

After Menjie notified the cast and crew of Wan Tongtong's movie "The Call to Action", Wan Tongtong began to prepare.

After all, it is the first film produced by a celebrity film and television company, and it is a crucial step in entering the film industry. Naturally, Wan Tongtong attaches great importance to it.

Sure enough, not long after, Chen Kexin called Menjie.

"Hello, I'm Chen Kexin! I previously received a script called "The Investment Certificate" from your company's general manager Wan Tongtong. I think this script is very good. I would like to ask about the investment in this movie.

Actors and other issues. Also, if I direct this movie, how much autonomy will I have!"

This is also Chen Kexin's worry. Although Menjie is an insider and a quite extraordinary actor, he is also a well-known and wealthy Chinese man.

Such a young man might feel good about himself when it is his first movie to be shot by a company, and he might make comments during the filming. If this happens, it is obviously impossible for Chen Kexin to agree to direct the movie "The Famous Film".

.

"Director Chen, you are China's top director. Since I want to ask you to direct the movie "Tou Mingzhuang", I will never give too much advice!"

After thinking for a while, Menjie said directly and simply, "My idea is this, if you come to direct this movie, you have absolute power in the initial casting. Of course, the company only has

The right to make suggestions. We do not have the right to directly order you, and during the entire process of filming, the company will never dictate. You are definitely the one who has the final say among the crew!"

"As for film investment... it's also up to you to decide. The upper limit is 200 million soft girl coins. As long as you think you can recover the cost and make a small profit, we will definitely have no problem here!"

Although Menjie already had a rough idea in his mind, in order to successfully invite Chen Kexin to direct the movie "The Letter of Contribution", Menjie still gave all the power directly.

Menjie thinks about it, even if the company does not have any power on the surface, there should be no problem if the male protagonist is changed from Li Lianjie to Menjie himself. After all, he is also the chairman of the company, and his own level is quite high.

Extraordinary!

"Oh? I have the final say?"

After listening to Menjie's words, even Chen Kexin was a little surprised, but after thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed, "If this is the case, I am willing to join the movie "The Famous Man"!"

"Haha, Director Chen, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

After a few polite words, Chen Kexin hesitated and said directly to Menjie, "Menjie, I would like to ask, what are your thoughts on the casting of this movie?"

Coming!

With a thought in his heart, Men Jie's face straightened, and he hurriedly said, "Director Chen, I haven't actually considered this issue well. You also know that I have always been an ordinary little actor, and the job of casting has really never been done before.

I’ve done it before, but I don’t know what Director Chen’s thoughts are…”

This little guy!

After hearing Menjie's words, Chen Kexin felt helpless.

Although it is true that Menjie has not participated in the casting of movies, everyone in the entire Chinese entertainment industry knows that the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", "The Rumored Seven Princesses", "Nineteen-Year-Old" produced by Celebrity Film and Television Company

All the casting choices for "Innocent Love" and the TV series "Struggle" that have not yet been officially aired were finalized by Menjie.

Even those directors who are not very famous only have the right to decide some small roles that Menjie is too lazy to care about. Although they only have the position of producer, Menjie is definitely the person who has the most say in the entire crew!

What's surprising is that the selection of these roles is also quite suitable, and many of the actors are already very popular. This has also made many people in the entertainment industry very convinced of Menjie's vision, and feel that as long as

If he is selected by Menjie, there is a possibility of success.

A person with such a precise vision actually says that he doesn’t know how to cast? This is simply crazy!

Chen Kexin also knew that Menjie wanted to hear his opinion about the character in the film first.

"Actually, I just got the script not long ago, so I don't know much about the other characters yet, but I do have some ideas about the three male protagonists and one female protagonist in the movie!"

"The heroine of the movie "Tou Mingzhuang" is not very outstanding, and there is no need to invite some big-name actors. However, the three male protagonists must have strong strength. If the heroine is just a vase, it will not work. It will affect

Based on the whole film, I think Xu Jinglei is a very good choice!"

Xu Jinglei?!

Sure enough, she is the heroine from the original movie "The Name of the People"!

After listening to Chen Kexin's words, Men Jie didn't even hesitate, "Haha, Director Chen and I really thought of it together. The heroine I thought of before was Xu Jinglei, okay, since we both think she is very suitable.

That must be Xu Jinglei!"

ah?

Chen Kexin was a little surprised after hearing what Men Jie said.

We didn't even need an audition, and we decided on the role directly? Just like the rumors, for the four TV series created by Celebrity Film and Television Company, only a few actors were selected through auditions, and the main roles were decided by Menjie himself!

But then...

The efficiency is really high!

"Since both of us think Xu Jinglei is very suitable, then it's her, and there's no need for an audition!"

Nodding slightly. Chen Kexin also agreed, "As for the remaining three male protagonists, they are obviously the core of the entire movie. They all need good acting skills, and preferably actors with very personal charm. As for the number one male protagonist

, I think it’s best to choose an actor who is good at fighting scenes!”

"I have thought about this issue before. I think it is more appropriate to choose Jin Chengwu as the third male lead, and Liu Dehua as the second male lead. As for..."

"Director Chen!"

Men Jie on the other end of the phone couldn't help but chuckle, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Jin Chengwu, right?"

Menjie's simple words instantly solidified the atmosphere between the two.

When Chen Kexin thought about it, Menjie was saying that he wanted to use power for personal gain and invited Jin Chengwu to come and act.

Indeed, there may be some personal reasons for this, but as a top Chinese director, he still has considerable professional ethics. To a greater extent, Chen Kexin felt that Jin Chengwu was very suitable to play the third male lead in the movie.

When Menjie said this, Chen Kexin couldn't help but become a little annoyed. What's going on? Don't you believe yourself? Then why did you give yourself so much autonomy before!

He was about to question Men Jie, but in the next second, Men Jie's voice came out again, "Then inviting Jin Chengwu and Liu Dehua to their work will cause trouble for Director Chen, haha! I also thought that they were two

It suits the characters in the movie very well, and I’m worried that I’m too shy to invite the two of them over!”

Uh, what's going on?!

Chen Kexin, who was just about to get angry, suddenly froze again and realized that she seemed to have misunderstood. It was not that Menjie didn't trust her, but that he had also decided to cast these two actors as the second and third male actors in the movie "The Call to Action".

main character!

This speed is too fast, right?

"As for the salary of the two of them..."

"You don't have to worry about this. Since I have left the task of inviting them two to me, I will definitely satisfy you. Haha, I also want to save some salary and invest in film production to create an excellent work.

Woolen cloth!"

After laughing, Chen Kexin said directly to Menjie.

Menjie was so decisive just now. He only mentioned three names, but Menjie finalized them with thunderous force, reciprocating the favor. Chen Kexin also planned to come forward to invite a few of them.

With Chen Kexin's reputation, I'm afraid it won't cost Menjie too much money to star in the movie "The Call to Fame", right?!

"As for the choice of the number one male lead... my first choice is Li Lianjie!"

Afterwards, Chen Kexin hesitated for a moment and then spoke directly. Men Jie on the other end of the phone couldn't help but fell silent for a long time before speaking softly.
To be continued...
