Chapter four hundred and eighteen: persuade to quit (and make up again)
Perhaps it is because of physiological factors, or perhaps it is because of environmental factors. For many people, they can think about problems more at night than during the day.
Duane is the same, now he is thinking about a question.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong"
Someone knocked on the door, and the voice woke Duane, who was sitting on the sofa and thinking about problems.
He looked out the door and saw a man standing at the door of his room and the door was not closed. The man was standing outside and stretching out his hand to knock on the door, which was very polite.
"Director Du."
The man greeted him, not sure what to say next.
Duane quickly stood up and let him in, "Come in. Come in, don't stand outside, come in and talk."
After letting the man in, Duane asked him to sit down on the sofa. He poured two glasses of water and put them on the coffee table. Then he sat down on the sofa on the other side and looked at the man.
This is a man in his fifties, with nothing outstanding in appearance. His expression was a little nervous at the moment. When he picked up the water Duan pushed over, he stretched out his hands to pick it up. Duan also saw that he had only a small butt sitting on the sofa. Could this guy have been in a government unit?
Duane really doesn't know.
The old man is named Wei Yongxi, and he is an actor in the crew. He plays the role of the big oss Lu Wa in the Taoyuan Island studio.
Like Wang Tong, this man's acting skills are OK. Du An thinks he is competent for this role, which is nonsense. If he thinks Wei Yongxi is not good, he will not be recruited into the crew.
But the problem is that that was Duane’s past thoughts, and now the situation has changed.
"Brother Wei,"
Du An spoke, breaking the embarrassment between the two. As soon as he said that, Wei Yongxi hurriedly said, "No, no, director! Just call me Xiaowei!"
OK, what he said made Duane feel more and more that he had been in the government.
"Xiao Wei is too exaggerated. It's not suitable for this age... In this way, I'll call you Lao Wei."
This time, he didn't wait for Wei Yongxi to object again, Du An directly followed up his topic.
"How are you watching the script?"
After Duan's topic changed, Wei Yongxi couldn't stop talking about the title anymore, and answered his question: "I have read it dozens of times. To be honest, the character Lu Wa has become one with the whole person. The effect will definitely satisfy you at that time, so you can rest assured director!"
It can be seen that Wei Yongxi is very interested.
Duane then saw him look at him and asked hesitantly: "How about, director, I'll give you a paragraph now?"
As he said that, he stood up without waiting for Duan to reply. Not to mention that his half-sitting position of his butt is really suitable for getting up, which is very convenient and quick.
"No, no!"
Du An waved his hand repeatedly and signaled him to sit down quickly.
After Wei Yongxi sat down, Du An was going to talk about what he was going to say today and he just couldn't get out of his words.
Du An is usually very polite. Although he doesn't like to talk, he speaks one by one when something happens. However, when he encounters his conscience, his mouth will not work. Now this is the case.
Du An didn't speak, and Wei Yongxi didn't dare to speak, so the two of them sat opposite each other.
In the end, Duane spoke.
"Old Wei..."
He dragged the ending tone long, and finally stopped and said the following sentence, "You probably can't play the role of Luva..."
As soon as he said that, Du An cursed in his heart: What's the fuck? He just said this to Song Zhen two days ago, and today he said this to another actor, and the scene this time was even more awkward.
It's okay for Song Zhen, after all, everyone knows each other. Du An knows that even if he doesn't let Song Zhen go this time, he will have more opportunities to give Song Zhen in the future. However, Wei Yongxi is different from him and Wei Yongxi, but he has no social relationships with Wei Yongxi. After kicking him out of the crew this time, the two will no longer have any social relationships in the future and will not have any compensation. It means that he has deprived Wei Yongxi of a good opportunity to become famous and cut off the prospects that others may have.
The most uncomfortable thing is not that there is no hope, but that after giving you hope, he cruelly extinguishes this hope. Duane is doing this now.
After Du An said this, the smile on Wei Yongxi's face froze, and his body solidified like a wooden carving and remained motionless.
"Of course, I was not considering this kind of thing carefully. The responsibility lies with me, so I will assume all the responsibilities. According to the contract, the amount of compensation will not be reduced to you. Don't worry about this..."
Duan tried his best to make compensation, but these things didn't seem important to Wei Yongxi.
Yes, although Wei Yongxi is not very famous, he has played supporting roles in many TV series movies, and is not embarrassed in terms of money. The reason why he is so excited and so cautious about this movie whose pay is only industry price is because the director of this movie is Du An, who is interested in not the pay, but in Du An's movie, which gives him the opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop.
Now Duane wants to kick him out of the crew, even if he pays twice the penalty, it will not make him happy, because what he loses is an opportunity to become famous and his career pursuit.
"…this is all I can compensate you. I hope you can accept it."
Du An could probably understand Wei Yongxi’s thoughts, but he had no choice.
Wei Yongxi is getting older. He is not as scared as many young people like many young people. He soon has to accept this fact. Then he smiles bitterly on his face and looks bitter. He looks a little unconscious and murmured: "Oh, I understand..."
Duane saw that he came back to his senses and finally could say the next thing, "In addition, after I breached the contract we signed before, I need to sign another confidentiality contract with you. This is also for the sake of confidentiality of the movie. I hope you don't mind. In this new contract, you don't have to do anything, you just need to achieve the confidentiality clauses in the previous contract, and then you can get another sum of money, 30,000."
When Wei Yongxi heard this, hesitated and opened his mouth, "Actually... you don't have to do this, director..."
Duane's words sounded right from a reasonable point of view, but Duane actually didn't pay for the money.
With Du An's current status in the circle and sufficient compensation for liquidated damages, will Wei Yongxi dare to speak nonsense even if he leaves the group? As long as Du An pursues the matter, he will not have to mess around in the circle in the future. He will not dare to lend Wei Yongxi ten courage.
But he raised this point himself, he was really honest.
Du An smiled and guessed that Wei Yongxi was thinking about what he said. This guy was not honest and smart.
Wei Yongxi said this, probably because he wanted to leave him a good impression of being sincere and honest. Even if the cooperation fails this time and he has such a good impression, then Duan will have a higher chance of thinking about him next time.
However, Du An also understands his colorful intestines. It is obvious that it is impossible for you to make Wei Yongxi, a man in his fifties, go straight like Song Zhen.
"No need to say anything, we will leave according to the contract and everyone will be relieved."
Wei Yongxi refused a few more times and accepted Du An's proposal.
After the chat, there was nothing wrong, and Wei Yongxi could leave, but he didn't leave for a long time. Instead, he asked again after the chat: "Director... can I know who is here to take over my role?"
He immediately laughed at himself again and said, "Look at me, I have lived for so many years in vain and I don't understand any rules at all. Director, just pretend I haven't asked."
Obviously, he was still a little unwilling to let this opportunity slip away in vain. He wanted to die to understand if a big shot came to take it, then he would probably feel more comfortable if he died.
Duane thought about it and decided to tell him.
"It's me."
As soon as he said this, Wei Yongxi was stunned for a while, and then said, "This...this character is an old man..."
He originally thought that the actors who were strong and strong in the country would come, so Duan couldn't wait to kick him away, but he didn't expect that Duan would want to go on.
Duane smiled bitterly, "I have no choice... Anyway, the woman has acted, so it's not too late to be an old man, it's a challenge for herself."
He really has no choice this time.
Why did he kick Wei Yongxi away? It was because Du An's actions took a step further after changing the production plan.
This kid changed the script!
After the change of script, the role of Lu Wa's role has increased greatly, almost forming a two-hero model with Truman. He felt that Wei Yongxi could not handle the acting skills and could not withstand Zhou Xingchi, so he had to kick Wei Yongxi away. (To be continued.)
