Chapter 118 Movie Starting Ceremony

Su Hao was shocked when he heard Xia Youyou's words. Lin Qiuni, a well-known female singer, majored in acting, but she debuted as a singer! ! This is really a cool operation!

At this moment, Qiao Yixuan came to the stage with the main creators.

"Yuyou, the power-on ceremony will begin soon. You should come over too."

Shen Yuefei said quickly.

"Okay, I'll go there first."

Xia Youyou hurried over.

"They are all newcomers."

Su Hao took a look and found that most of the leading actors were newcomers. After all, Qiao Yixuan was not well-known, and the production funds were also very limited.

Shen Yuefei nodded and said, "Yes, but these newcomers are also excellent undergraduates."

"Isn't there a familiar face?"

Su Hao felt a little pity, such a good script.

Shen Yuefei explained: "That's not true. I heard from my aunt that for the first scene, we invited two third-tier actors. They are the on-screen couple who have become popular in online dramas recently. They were asked to play the seniors."

"Web series?"

"Well, it seems that the girl's name is Xu Xiaoxi and the boy's name is Zhu Chenghan."

Su Hao was stunned. The male and female protagonists of a recent popular time-travel web drama were exactly these two people.

Niu Shaojie also recommended this drama to himself, but he has not watched it.

Because the script of "18 Again" was revised by Su Hao himself, he knew that there was a scene in it where the male and female protagonists met when they were taking wedding photos on the campus of their senior.

The seniors were once lovers on campus and got married, so they decided to take a group of wedding photos at school.

However, there are not many scenes for the seniors, and they disappeared after the wedding photo shoot.

After a while, the movie opening ceremony officially began.

Qiao Yixuan and the main creators began to light incense, then lifted the red cloth on the camera, announced the start of the camera, and released several fireworks tubes.

Finally, Qiao Yixuan, on behalf of the crew, sent red envelopes to the main creators. Such red envelopes are usually not big, just for good luck.

Shen Yuefei held up her mobile phone to take photos and record them.

After finishing, the crew started working on the scenery, props, photography, etc., preparing to shoot the first scene.

Su Hao and Shen Yuefei then walked over and expressed their congratulations.

"Su Hao, I'd better say thank you. If you hadn't helped me revise the script, I wouldn't have been able to get investment."

Qiao Yixuan said gratefully.

Su Hao smiled and said, "You have already thanked me before, so don't be polite."

Shen Yuefei said: "Auntie, this is your first time directing. I think you are quite familiar with your work."

"I have worked abroad with the crew before, but the most important thing is that Eastern Media arranged for me to have some experienced assistant directors, Lao Cheng, to assist me."

Qiao Yixuan said and pointed to the middle-aged man directing the crew in front.

At this moment, the assistant director Lao Cheng came over.

"Director Xiao Qiao, our set is almost ready, but the two actors Xu Xiaoxi and Zhu Chenghan haven't changed their costumes yet."

Lao Cheng looked helpless.

Qiao Yixuan was stunned and said, "Didn't the two of them arrive long ago? Are they not in the lounge?"

"In the lounge, the costume team and makeup team also went to invite them, but they said they wanted to meet the director first, why don't you go and have a look?"

"Old Cheng, what's going on?"

Qiao Yixuan's face looked wrong from Laocheng.

"Hey, Director Xiao Qiao, you'd better go talk to them two."

Lao Cheng shook his head helplessly.

"good!"

Qiao Yixuan immediately walked towards the lounge.

Su Hao and Shen Yuefei were at the side and listened in confusion.

At this moment, Xia Youyou ran over, pulled the two of them, and said, "Let's go, cousin, brother-in-law, I will take you to see the stars! They are in the lounge."

So Su Hao and Shen Yuefei also came to the lounge.

I saw a man and a woman sitting on the sofa in the lounge, wearing very fashionable clothes. It was Xu Xiaoxi and Zhu Chenghan, the on-screen couple who became popular because of the online drama.

Both of them also brought an assistant.

At this time, Zhu Chenghan was playing mobile games on his mobile phone, while Xu Xiaoxi was looking in the mirror.

Qiao Yixuan walked into the lounge and said pleasantly: "Xiao Xi, Cheng Han, our first scene is about to start, and we need you to change your costumes."

Zhu Chenghan raised his head and looked at Xu Xiaoxi. Xu Xiaoxi smiled and said: "Director, don't worry, we have one more request to make."

"Huh? What's the request? Tell me."

Qiao Yixuan looked shocked.

Xu Xiaoxi said: "We have some different opinions on the remuneration we negotiated before."

"Remuneration? Different opinions? What do you mean?"

Qiao Yixuan was stunned.

Zhu Chenghan directly closed the mobile game and said with an arrogant look: "Director, let me tell you more frankly. We feel that the salary you gave us before was too small, and we want to increase the salary."

At this time, Su Hao, Shen Yuefei, and Xia Youyou happened to walk into the lounge and heard these words.

"More pay?"

Xia Youyou instantly became full of anger.

Shen Yuefei also frowned.

Su Hao raised his eyes. In the entertainment industry, it is not uncommon for actors to temporarily increase their remuneration before filming starts.

But he didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen in Qiao Yixuan's crew.

The key point is that these two are still third-tier artists. Are these two misunderstandings about their status?

Qiao Yixuan immediately became unhappy and said, "Xiao Xi, Cheng Han, haven't we already negotiated the remuneration before? We've already signed the contract, how can you change your mind at the last minute?"

"Director, the recent online drama played by the two of us has exceeded 100 million views. Considering that our current popularity and salary do not match, we have to increase our salary."

Xu Xiaoxi said shamelessly.

"Xiao Xi, under our previous contract, you were on the set for two hours of filming, and each person was paid 100,000 yuan. This is already very high, okay?"

Qiao Yixuan was speechless.

Shen Yuefei was a little angry when she heard what her aunt said. Earning 100,000 yuan in two hours, this kind of salary is not enough? !

You must know that many office workers earn less than 100,000 yuan a year.

Zhu Chenghan snorted coldly and said angrily: "100,000 is still high? Director, if you don't give us a salary increase today, we won't participate in the show."

"That's right. Anyway, if we break the contract, the penalty will be 10,000 yuan."

Xu Xiaoxi echoed.

Qiao Yixuan almost vomited blood. When she invited these two to participate in the show, in order to express her sincerity and friendliness, she deliberately lowered their liquidated damages.

Unexpectedly, sincerity and friendliness have now become a bargaining chip for these two people to threaten themselves.

In film shooting, directors generally pay more attention to the first scene. After all, the crew also pays attention to a good start when shooting.

No one wants to end up in trouble on their first scene.

Moreover, if Qiao Yixuan refuses directly and goes to find actors temporarily, the entire crew's preparations will be in vain, which is a human and material cost.

Qiao Yixuan gritted her teeth and said, "How much do you two want to raise?"
