Chapter 1044 Both Parties Are Gambling on Face and Life! (Please Subscribe and Vote)

In this world of strange stories, perhaps natives of other professions have no way of knowing how much start-up capital the person in charge will give to the director.

But people who are also directors must know that the more powerful the director is, the more he understands these things.

Zhang Yangqing waited here for a long time just to wait for this director who wears the same hat as himself.

The director's face is gently wrapped by a circle of thick beards. This beard is not messy, but carefully trimmed, and each beard reveals the owner's extraordinary taste and artistic temperament.

His appearance reminds Zhang Yangqing of an old saying, that is, "no hair on the mouth, no firm work".

Indeed, from the dress of this director, he doesn't look like a novice.

The receptionist at the front desk saw that he was a newcomer at a glance, probably because of this observation.

The bearded director has a slightly round figure, but when he gestures and speaks, his confidence and passion are like a magnetic field, attracting the attention of everyone around him.

He is not talking to Zhang Yangqing. A young and beautiful actress stands next to the bearded director.

The actress's figure is graceful, like a willow branch swaying in the wind, and every little movement exudes endless elegance and charm.

Her slender waist is even more beautiful under the outline of the tight dress.

Her appearance is impeccable, her delicate facial features are as three-dimensional as sculptures, and her eyes are as bright as stars.

The bright red on her lips makes her look even more charming.

Although she is not as beautiful as the female star Zhang Yangqing just met, she is also very beautiful.

The two people seem to be talking about the next play to be filmed. The bearded director talks endlessly, and the beautiful actress listens carefully.

Seeing this, the audience realized that Zhang Tianshi wanted to get information from the bearded director.

But many people don't understand, there is no clue to suggest that you can meet a fellow director here, how did Zhang Tianshi think of it.

Hu Liuqi, whose leg was broken, began to explain: Because this is a movie city, there are more than just the Chosen Ones who want to film, and don't forget Rule 4. If the Chosen Ones go to occupy the place where others want to film in advance, they may be able to get some information here.

Hu Liuqi was particularly serious today, because he was supposed to go with Zhang Yangqing, but because of his leg delay, he could only analyze crazily in front of the big screen.

But what he said was right, but it was only in theory.

Because the bearded director was talking to the beautiful actress about the character creation, he didn't reveal too much plot information, so Zhang Yangqing didn't know where they needed to rent for filming.

The bearded director was going to the 30th floor, and when he took the actress out, Zhang Yangqing followed him out.

When he arrived at the door of the person in charge of the film company, the bearded director glanced at Zhang Yangqing, and the expression seemed to say: Do you want you to go in first?

I have to say that the bearded director was quite polite.

Because he was walking in front, Zhang Yangqing made a "please" gesture and let him go in first.

The bearded director nodded and walked into the room with the beautiful actress.

This scene was incomprehensible to the audience, because they thought Zhang Yangqing would definitely ask the director for information, but Zhang Yangqing didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Could it be that Zhang Tianshi did this for other purposes?

In fact, the audience was wrong. Zhang Yangqing had already obtained the information he wanted.

As a new director with no experience, if he asked for information directly, then according to the rules of the world of ghost stories, the bearded director would let him complete the task, or ask for something.

Otherwise, how could he give Zhang Yangqing information for free.

So Zhang Yangqing could only observe.

What needs to be observed here must be those directors who come in from the 1st floor and go to the 30th floor.

Because most of these directors come to the person in charge to ask for start-up funds.

As for how they get the start-up funds, isn't it obvious?

It's not about the costumes or the temperament, but about having more outstanding actors around.

The person in charge of the film company probably gives the initial funds based on the combined strength of the director and the main actors.

This is the hidden rule that Zhang Yangqing observed. Otherwise, why would the bearded director take the actress to see the person in charge of the film company?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yangqing went downstairs to contact some actors.

This is not difficult to find. There are many actors in the lobby and corridor on the first floor.

Zhang Yangqing observed that those outstanding actors have agents and bodyguards around them, which is a symbol of status.

And ordinary actors are more polite when they see the director.

After a general understanding, these actors also have so-called levels.

They are first-line actors, second-line actors, third-line actors and extras.

First-line actors are like the glamorous actress Zhang Yangqing met when he first entered the door of the film company.

To get the title of first-line actress, you must have three works that reach 80 points, and they are the male and female protagonists in the movie.

The appearance fee of this type of actor is very high, and most directors can't afford it.

Having such works is enough to show their acting skills and strength.

Second-line actors are the kind of actresses around the bearded director.

This type of actor requires three works that reach 70 points, and they must also be the male and female protagonists in the movie.

Relatively speaking, they will look for some more powerful directors and try to break through 80 points.

As long as the third-tier actors have three works that reach 60 points, they still have to be the male and female protagonists in the movie.

There are not so many requirements for the so-called extras. Many of them have never acted before. Like the Chosen Ones, they have just reported here.

After hearing this information, Zhang Yangqing understood the general structure of this ghost talk.

The goal of extras is to become first-tier actors, but they cannot be the leading actors under normal circumstances.

So the best way is to kill the leading actors, so that they will become the leading actors of the movie while their roles remain unchanged.

For example, at the shooting scene that the Chosen Ones encountered at the beginning, the actor who played the neighbor murderer killed other characters.

Then this movie, which was supposed to bring the murderer to justice, became a documentary about the murderer.

At this clue, Zhang Yangqing suddenly understood something.

No wonder the male protagonist did not go to practice at the end of "Rural Love: Human-Demon Love", but took the exam to become an official.

I guess the director designed it this way because he was afraid that the male protagonist would be beaten to death by the villain.

Or maybe the male lead found out that the supporting actor wanted to kill him and then take over, so he changed the script himself.

In any case, judging from the results, the film was very successful.

When they contacted these actors, they needed Zhang Yangqing to provide information about their representative works.

When they heard that Zhang Yangqing was a director without any works, almost all the actors were not interested in him.

Zhang Yangqing estimated that some rules for actors were actually similar to those for directors.

For example, if the director's work scored below 50 points, he would die directly.

Actors probably also have evaluations, and they would die directly if their scores were below a certain point.

So any actor with a little fame would not discuss cooperation with a director like the Chosen One who had no representative works.

If they met a worse director, wouldn't they be killed?

Only minor actors might follow the Chosen One to gamble on face, or life.
