Xiao Yunhai wasn't a procrastinator. He stretched out two fingers and said, "One million isn't a problem, but I have two conditions."
"Please speak." He Jin's expression turned serious. He knew that the key to getting this novel was coming up.
"First, after you find the actor to play Chu Liuxiang, I want to personally check it out. Chu Liuxiang's role is crucial for this novel to be perfectly presented on the TV screen. The actor to play him must have a natural and unrestrained temperament. If Chu Liuxiang chooses the right actor, this movie will be half successful. It's not that I don't trust Teacher He, but as my child, I don't want it to be imperfect. "
He Jin nodded and revealed an 'as expected' expression. He winked at his assistant and said with a smile, "I knew there would be this problem. In fact, I've already found an actor for this role before I came here. What do you think of him? "
He Jin placed the small notebook that his assistant handed over on the table and pushed it to Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai focused his eyes and saw a young man who looked like Qiu Guan from his previous life. He was wearing a blue gown and was holding an ancient book. He stood there with a graceful bearing. He had a pair of eyes that seemed to be constantly flashing with the light of wisdom. His eyebrows were thick and long, with a sense of unswerving determination. It had to be said that purely in terms of appearance, this person's appearance was more outstanding than the actors from his previous life. He was also more suitable for the elegant and quick-witted Chu Liuxiang.
"It seems that Teacher He came prepared this time. This actor is indeed very suitable for this role. "Xiao Yunhai said with a smile.
He Jin laughed and said, "I was afraid that you wouldn't be satisfied. This person's name is Qin Yunyi. He graduated from Shanghai Film and Television Academy three years ago. He's also a very famous actor in the film and television industry. However, he lacks a truly outstanding work, so he hasn't become popular. Speaking of which, he's also a bit related to me. He came to me as soon as he left the school. However, I have to make it clear that I'm not nepotism. I just feel that his temperament is very compatible with Chu Liuxiang. "
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said with confidence, "When he finishes filming this movie, he'll definitely become popular."
When He Jin heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "This sentence is to my liking."
Xiao Yunhai had some understanding of He Jin's temperament. He was an old urchin full of heroic spirit. Perhaps it was because of this that he could make a lot of good martial arts movies.
"The second condition is that I want to play a role."
He Jin was pouring a cup of tea into his mouth. When he heard this, he almost spat out the tea in his mouth. He widened his eyes and said, "You want to act? What's the role? "
As a director, what he was most afraid of was giving the wrong role to the wrong person. It was fine if it was just a small role, but if it was a big role, then it would be over. This was also the reason why the director often had conflicts with the producers.
Because of some special connections, the producers tried their best to squeeze people into the crew, and the director hoped to pick the most suitable actor for his own needs. If Fang Sai's people met the director's requirements, then everything would be fine. But if there was a conflict, then a big battle was inevitable. As for who would win and who would lose, that would depend on their respective skills.
Xiao Yunhai said quietly, "I want to play A Little Red of the Central Plains."
"No."
As soon as Xiao Yunhai's condition came out, He Jin flatly refused.
He Jin, who had watched Chu Liuxiang countless times, knew the importance of A Little Red of the Central Plains to the whole movie.
Speaking of which, he was not a top master in the book. His martial arts were only at the first-class level. He was far from Chu Liuxiang, Xue Yiren, Jellyfish Yinji, and other masters.
But he was extremely eye-catching.
A Little Red of the Central Plains was originally a cold and ruthless killer. Under the influence of Chu Liuxiang and Qu Wurong, he gradually became more humane. Especially the love between him and Qu Wurong, which was undying, moved many fans of the book.
His character changed from indifferent to passionate. Once such a Little Red of the Central Plains was played, he would definitely be the highlight of the whole movie except for Chu Liuxiang. He Jin was also prepared to deeply modify this character.
He would not allow such a character to have the slightest flaw. Not to mention that Xiao Yunhai's temperament was far from A Little Red of the Central Plains.
Xiao Yunhai was not surprised by He Jin's reaction. If He Jin agreed to such a role so easily, then Xiao Yunhai would have to think about whether it was appropriate for him to give He Jin "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".
"Director He, you may not know, but I am a student of the Yenching Film Institute. There is absolutely no problem with my acting. Moreover, I am the person who created A Little Red of the Central Plains. I believe that no one can understand him better than me. "
"Understanding is one thing, but whether or not you can act is another. At the very least, I don't see any similarities between you and A Little Red of the Central Plains. "
"Director He, do you want to do this?"
As soon as Xiao Yunhai finished speaking, his temperament instantly changed, from a calm and handsome young man to a cold and arrogant assassin in the blink of an eye, his entire body emitting an aura that prevented strangers from getting close. Especially those eyes. They were as sharp as a sword, cold and emotionless. They looked at human lives like ants.
In his previous life, Xiao Yunhai had acted who knows how many assassins, triad bosses and the like. His grasp of them was not inferior to even heavenly king level actors. Playing a Little Red of the Central Plains was a piece of cake.
Xiao Yunhai's change shocked everyone, including He Jin. Zhang Liye looked at Xiao Yunhai's cold and fierce eyes. He was so scared that his whole body trembled. A sense of fear spread from the depths of his heart to his whole body.
The assistant who came with He Jin was also a little scared. He did not dare to look at Xiao Yunhai and looked elsewhere.
Only the eyes of the great director, He Jin, lit up as if he had seen a piece of unpolished jade. Xiao Yunhai's rapid change in temperament was something that He Jin could only see in the performances of A-list actors. This meant that the young writer in front of him had the ability of an A-list actor. This was too surprising for He Jin.
Xiao Yunhai felt that it was about time. He closed his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, the aura had disappeared without a trace. It was as if it had never been there.
He smiled and asked He Jin, "Is this okay?"
He Jin smiled bitterly and said, "With your acting skills, you can be called the best among the younger generation. You should appear on the big screen. You don't need to play such a role. "
Xiao Yunhai picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He said, "Rice has to be eaten one bite at a time. The road has to be taken one step at a time. Director He, just give me a straightforward answer. Is it okay or not? "
He Jin smiled and said, "There definitely won't be any problems."
"Good, then we can sign the contract."
Director He motioned for his assistant to take out a laptop from his bag and start typing. Xiao Yunhai and the other two started chatting.
Soon, He Jin's assistant finished the contract and showed it to Xiao Yunhai and He Jin. After seeing the two nodding, he immediately went out to print two contracts. Xiao Yunhai and He Jin both signed and stamped their fingerprints. The contract was considered legally valid.
They talked for a while, and He Jin left with satisfaction. Before leaving, he told Xiao Yunhai that the script of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" would be revised in early September. He hoped that he could see if there was anything that needed to be changed. Xiao Yunhai naturally nodded and agreed.
On the way, He Jin's assistant suddenly patted his head and shouted, "Oh, I know who he is!"
He Jin was originally resting with his eyes closed, but his sleepiness was completely dispelled by him. He was so angry that he wanted to die. He reprimanded, "Little Li, can you not be so flustered?"
Xiao Li smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Teacher He. I just remembered the identity of Xiao Yunhai. I was so excited that I disturbed you. "
He Jin asked in confusion, "Identity? What identity? "
Xiao Li said, "This Xiao Yunhai is a celebrity. Your favorite songs, 'Borrow from the Heavens for 500 Years' and 'Big Man', were written by him. However, after this guy became famous, he lived in seclusion and didn't show up for more than half a month. Many reporters wanted to interview him but couldn't. I didn't expect him to be a writer. "
He Jin suddenly realized and said, "So it's him. That's why I thought his name sounded familiar. This guy is really a genius. "
