Chapter 12: Seals
Hearing that Dream Country is going to use newcomers to shoot a new TV series, Li Jisheng suddenly felt extremely depressed and very confused, it is said that Dream Country not only uses newcomer actors, but also lets group actors audition, and runs to the film and television shooting base to find the starring role.
What is Dream Country doing?
Chen Chuan is an old actor who has very high requirements for actors, if he is just good-looking, but no acting actor, he will definitely not use it.
As we all know, most of the group actors in the film and television shooting base have never played the leading role, how can they be the leading actors if they have no experience.
There is a saying in the entertainment industry in this world that those who often play the leading role must be able to play a good supporting role, but those who often play a supporting role may not be able to play the leading role well.
Although some big stars also came out of the film and television shooting base back then, most of them were able to become popular because of the good performance of a supporting role, and not everyone can play the leading role.
And with the progress of the times, basically most companies have their own artist training plans, even a slightly important supporting role will not be given to extras, and now there are fewer and fewer group performances that can become popular from film and television shooting bases.
Although he doesn't understand the behavior of the dream country, Li Jisheng still maintains a declining attitude, he was kicked out of the dream country back then, so he is very happy to see the TV series invested by the dream country go down the drain and become a bad movie.
There is also another company that is not optimistic about the new drama of Dream Country, that is, Sheng Ying.
Dream Country focuses on filming film and television dramas, investing in film and television dramas, and their investments are all invested by their own companies, which has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that the profits earned are exclusive to their own company, and the disadvantage is that when they lose, they also lose their own family, and no one shares the losses.
In the past few years, the dream country has been mixed, and its market value has even caught up with Sheng Ying, but it is a pity that in the past two years, because of the market downturn, there are too many homogeneous TV series and movies, and most of the new dramas they have invested in are basically cold, plus they don't have a few artists under them, and they have to pay sky-high salaries every time they invite actors, which has led to their losses every year in recent years.
And Sheng Ying saw that the business situation of Dream Country was not good, and he had already moved his mind to buy them, even if Dream Country recently asked Chen Chuan to direct several TV series, but these TV series can only keep their return to their original costs at most, if they continue to lose money, Dream Country will acquire them sooner or later, or go bankrupt.
That TV series was the last straw that overwhelmed the dream country, and Sheng Ying was looking forward to it.
The most anticipated is Liu Weiming, when he learned that the dream country was so poor that he ran to the extras to find the leading role, he instantly laughed in the office.
Liu Weiming is the same as Li Jisheng, originally both of them were from the Dream Country, but unlike Li Jisheng, Liu Weiming is one of the founders of the Dream Country, although he has now run to Shengying.
A few years ago, Dream Country was on the rise, and most of the TV series and movies people watched were from Dream Country, and the price of actors at that time was very low, even only a few hundred yuan a day.
At that time, Liu Weiming was not immersed in the short-lived prosperous dream of the dream country, he foresaw that the price of actors would rise in the future, and if his company did not pay attention to cultivating artists, he would suffer sooner or later in the future.
So Liu Weiming cultivated a large number of artists, however, the group of people on the board of directors thought that Liu Weiming wasted a lot of money on unnecessary places, and when these artists were not playing, they were wasting the company's resources, and since then, Liu Weiming has gradually been marginalized by the board of directors.
Liu Weiming left the dream country in a fit of anger and came to Shengying with his ideas, Sheng Ying not only welcomed him very much, but also made him a major shareholder of Sheng Ying, and Liu Weiming's ideas were also implemented in Sheng Ying.
In the past two years, the star economy has been greatly developed, and the rise of variety shows has also strengthened the connection between fans and stars.
On the other hand, on the side of the dream country, it is getting worse and worse year by year, and the directors who forced Liu Weiming away in the first place have also begun to run away.
For the script of "The Barbarian Princess", Liu Weiming also planned to buy it at the beginning, but the other screenwriter ignored him from the beginning, which made him very incomprehensible.
The people who post scripts on the script online are generally rookie screenwriters, and Liu Weiming thought that the price of 551 episodes could attract this rookie screenwriter, but the other party did not reply to him with a single message.
But fortunately, although this script didn't get it, this script fell into the hands of Dream Country, and it is a question of whether they can shoot it well.
......
On the other hand, the audition for the heroine of "The Savage Princess" has begun, and Lu Chen also ran into the shed to watch, he wanted to see if Shi Yin, a guy who wanted to be a big star, had the potential to be a big star.
To be honest, Shiyin looks a little bit like a princess when she changes into a costume.
The audition process is not very long, there are only a few shots, Chen Chuan is an experienced person, he can't do it alone, he can see a few lines and a few actions.
The auditioners passed one after another, and when it was Shiyin's turn, everyone was surprised, she read the lines as if she was acting in her true colors, and it didn't look like she was reading the lines at all.
This made Chen Chuan and Cheng Ming seriously suspect that Lu Chen wrote the script according to the character of Shiyin.
In order to further test Shiyin, Chen Chuan temporarily added a trial play, he took a loudspeaker and shouted to Shiyin not far away: "Little girl, try crying." ”
As soon as the words fell, Shi Yin's tears flowed down, and then he cried loudly, crying heartbreakingly.
......
This scene stunned everyone.
This is too good at acting.
Chen Chuan said again at this time: "Then try to laugh again." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Yin put his hands on his waist and laughed.
Looking at this scene, Lu Chen touched his chin with his hand.
With such a fast conversion speed between crying and laughing, even some old actors who have acted in a lot of dramas can't do it, this guy is simply a natural drama spirit.
In the end, the audition took a day, and in the evening, Chen Chuan and Cheng Ming called the auditioners together, and then prepared to announce the list of actors, including a heroine and several supporting actresses.
Seeing a large crowd in front of him, Shi Yin asked, "Lu Chen, how do you see me acting today?"
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "General." ”
To be honest, Lu Chen actually thinks that the role of Situ Jing, the heroine, is very suitable for Shi Yin, but it is better not to say this kind of thing, and Shi Yin's tail can reach the sky when he says it.
Obviously, Shi Yin was a little dissatisfied with Lu Chen's answer, and she said resentfully: "Generally, what kind of vision do you have!"
At this moment, Chen Chuan began to announce the actress's name as an actor.
"The last one, the heroine is played by ......"
Speaking of this, Chen Chuan wanted to speak and stopped, but did not read it out immediately.
People's eyes were already wide open, holding their breath, expecting that the name was themselves.
Chen Chuan squinted his eyes and looked at the list in his hand, frowning slightly.
Shi Yin said to Lu Chen at this time: "Look at it, the starring role must be my ......"
Before Shi Yin's words fell, Chen Chuan read out the name of the last person.
"The heroine is played by Feng Yan. ”
