Chapter 323: Arrogant Student
Chapter 323: Arrogant Student
Dai Manwen, who just signed with the company, feels very good about herself.
Yixing is a well-known domestic agency. When signing the contract, they came to her with money and the highest salary, and they also attached great importance to her after the contract was successfully signed.
She also knows many seniors. Who could get such treatment before graduation?
But she deserves all this. With both good looks and abilities, an actress like her should be at the top of the pyramid as soon as she debuts.
She is very proud of herself for getting such good resources before graduating and even the top stars can only play supporting roles for her.
But she didn't expect to be criticized by the director during her first filming. She thought that the director was a newcomer and would make such a mistake.
The whole crew was watching the heroine arguing with the director. There was already not enough time, and they had to explain the heroine's mistakes in her performance, which was a waste of time.
Ning Ruifeng didn't realize this girl was so stubborn during the audition. He explained the reasons for the filming and the camera angles, but she still insisted on her own opinion.
Ning Ruifeng rubbed his temple and called Yu Jiang, "Why don't you teach her?"
Yu Jiang realized that Dai Manwen was not insisting on her own performance, but wanted to show that she was professional, so he didn't want to waste time with her.
"Brother Ning, I think what you teach is what I want. There is nothing new for me to teach you."
In fact, Dai Manwen’s acting skills are good, but she has to contradict Ning Ruifeng on some details.
Time was tight and the task was heavy. This scene was not very important. Ning Ruifeng was too lazy to continue wasting time with her. As soon as she got the OK note, he let her go.
Ning Ruifeng simply performed the following scenes for her first, or asked Yu Jiang to perform them for her, and it would be fine as long as she could replicate them.
Dai Manwen was very dissatisfied with this as she had no room to perform. She believed that this way of directing only reflected the director's unprofessionalism.
In the RV, she complained to her agent indignantly: "What's wrong with this Ning Ruifeng? Does he have a dream of becoming an actor? Does he really think he's such a good actor?"
The agent received instructions from the top management and knew the next plan, so of course he went along with what she said.
"That's right. With Man Wen's strength and image, she would be the leading actress in any group. You are being wronged here just to save his face. You really think you are a piece of cake!"
Dai Manwen was happy to hear this, but she still drank some ice water with a sad face, "Alas, if I had known he was so unprofessional, I would not have signed a contract with him."
The agent patted his chest and said, "Manwen, I fully support you. If you have any ideas, just go for it boldly. I will always stand by you!"
"What's the point of you standing by my side?" Dai Manwen rolled her eyes at him. "I would like to change teams. I don't have the ability to pay the penalty!"
"Is liquidated damages a big deal?" The agent said confidently, "You know how much our company values you. I'll pass it on to my superiors, and the company will pay this small amount."
Although Dai Manwen was tempted, she still had a bit of professional ethics, "We've already filmed so many scenes, it's not a good idea to leave now, right?"
"What's wrong with that?!" The agent was indignant, looking even angrier than she was. "It's the director's fault! Which actor can tolerate him like this?!"
"Then...how about I tell the director?" Dai Manwen actually believed his nonsense.
The agent threw out a stack of contracts and said, "What's there to say? I'm waiting for you to choose the script! I'm different from those little actors. I have plenty of places to go!"
Although Dai Manwen is conceited, she still has some rationality.
She wanted to use her own irreplaceability to threaten the director into giving her space to perform.
She thinks she has more and better choices, but she also knows that it will be difficult for her to find a top star to play a supporting role with her in a short period of time.
"Forget it, I'll observe him for a few more days. If he continues like this, it won't be too late for me to leave."
The agent was a little disappointed when he heard this. Only if the artist took the initiative to ask to leave, then the agency could use clauses to sever ties with the artist and even let her bear the company's penalty for breach of contract.
It’s not easy for the company now. The seizure of resources by Yuxiao Agency has seriously affected the job opportunities of the company’s artists.
There is no obvious problem at the moment, but the follow-up work of each artist is not well connected.
Fortunately, the boss is rich and can spend money to buy resources for top artists.
But in this situation, money becomes particularly important. Not to mention helping Dai Manwen pay the crew's penalty for breach of contract, even if she wants to leave, she will have to be squeezed dry to get all her value.
Ideals are full and reality is very skinny. Dai Manwen had no idea what the company that seemed to value her so much was planning behind her back.
In fact, it is easy for a student like her who has been excellent since childhood to have this kind of conceited mentality.
If she works hard in society or meets a good person to guide her, a talented person like her will have a good future.
But when he first took on the role, he was signed to the company as a bargaining chip. If he makes a mistake, it will be difficult for him to have such a good opportunity again.
During the period when she had not made up her mind, Dai Manwen was still filming normally in the crew. During this period, her agent did not stop his temptation and kept instilling in her the idea that there were better places to go.
Recently, leaked photos of "Jiang Shan Tan" have appeared on the Internet, and the heroine's face and makeup are clearly captured.
Ning Ruifeng's confidentiality work was in vain. He couldn't understand how a photographer could be hiding in such a vast prairie.
Yu Jiang doesn't understand either. After the "Female Eagle" proxy photography incident, the top three scorers in the proxy photography industry all learned a lesson. How come there are still people who dare to take risks?
In fact, the so-called lesson is that the top scorer will be fined and detained for a few days, and the second and third place scorers will be criticized and educated, which has little impact on them.
If the account is lost, the worst that can happen is that the photos are sold to paparazzi. The money can be earned back with one photo. No amount of fines can stop the huge profits.
This time the photographers got a good job, as people in the circle wanted to buy their photos.
Ning Ruifeng is a photography director in the film industry. This is his first foray into the small screen market, and those who make TV dramas are paying attention to him.
I want to see who catches his eye and gets the leading role, and I also want to see his filming methods and process.
They are not afraid that he will make a bad film, but they are afraid that he will make it too good. If it raises the audience's aesthetic taste and the standard of TV dramas, they will not be able to slack off in the future.
Therefore, the paparazzi are like undercover spies, secretly lurking around the crew and recording the crew's movements at all times.
Paparazzi are different from them. Entertainment reporters are also journalists and they want the truth.
After getting the heroine's photo, they went back to their desk work.
Investigate Dai Manwen's identity, integrate her information during her school years, and write and publish news.
