Chapter 512: Turmoil in the industry
"There are a lot of roles in this play, and we must have to cast, and it just so happens that many artists want to jump to our studio, so we might as well take this opportunity to expand the scale of our business. β
In the office, a group of executives are studying the shooting of Charlotte's troubles, and Yu Xiao also agrees with He Xiao's idea, and he thinks that this can be used as an opportunity to expand the scale of the studio.
The current He Wanrong studio is good in all aspects, and the development momentum is good, but there are too few artists signed under it, and if you want the studio to really develop and have more opportunities in the industry, artists are an indispensable cornerstone.
He Xiao thought about it for a while, and it is indeed the same truth, the more artists it has, the better the development of the entire company will be, not to mention that when he wants to build his own film and television empire in the future, he will definitely need a very strong team of actors, and these must be prepared in advance. ζζΊη«― δΈη§θ¨δ½γβm.\B\iq\u\g\\o\mγ provides you with wonderful \ novel reading.
"Brother Yu, can you still contact the artists who were interested in coming to our studio to develop before?" Looking at Yu Xiao, who was drinking tea with a thermos cup in his seat, He Xiao asked with a smile.
"Yes, the information is in the mailbox, and I haven't deleted it yet. Yu Xiao blew the hot air on the mouth of the cup, and said with a smile: "I'll sort it out and send it to you later, a few of the actors are not bad." β
Because He Xiao is a singer, most of the artists who want to jump to him for development are singers, but this does not mean that there are no actors, although they only account for a small part of them, they are as high as more than 20.
"I also know a few reliable actors who can contact their companies to work with. Zhang Ya also made a statement at this time, as a famous diva in the entertainment industry, she has also met a lot of actors over the years, presumably the diva will inevitably give this face when she speaks.
He Xiao immediately made a decision and said: "Okay, then it's troublesome for everyone, in addition, I also release news in the industry, and I can't always wait passively for people to come to the door." β
In this era of rapid change in the entertainment industry, it is obviously not wise to play Jiang Taigong's fishing wisher to take the bait, sometimes it will be rewarding to take the initiative to throw an olive branch, He Xiao plans to release an announcement on actor recruitment, conduct audition interviews, and select actors who match the image to participate in the movie.
The matter was thus settled, the studio began a busy day after the morning meeting, and He Xiao also issued a notice to the outside world through social media to cast for the studio's first live-action film.
This will undoubtedly cause an uproar in the outside world, from ordinary netizens who love to watch gossip to professionals in the circle. TV debut
On Weibo, in the studio's first dynamic comment.
Many netizens who are interested in acting have come to leave messages, including some eighteenth-tier actors who have never met talents.
"Wow, He Xiao Studio's first live-action movie!"
"What's the name of the movie, and when will it be released?"
"Oh my God, the movie hasn't been made yet, and I just want to watch it!"
"He Xiao's hardcore fan sister is here, I especially want to join your team, how can I get in touch?"
"Sister, take me a, I can sweep the floor, I can cook, I will hug my thighs, I will shout big guy 666, let me go to the studio to be a front desk, I am also willing!
"Sister, humble!"
"Teacher He, will you read the comments? I'm a trickster actor with many years of performance experience in Hengdian, I think I'm more suitable for the hooligan role in your announcement, I've already sent you a private message, can you flip it through?"
ββ¦β¦β
After the announcement of recruiting actors was issued, there were a lot of comments, and the message box under Weibo was crammed for a while, some of them were just watching the excitement, some were idle and had nothing to do, and some were actors who had not been tapped and were eager to get the opportunity to perform.
Netizens will pay attention to the dynamics of the stars themselves, but few people will understand the work notices of the studio, so the turmoil on Weibo is only a small range, but in the industry, it has really caused a lot of storms.
Because in today's industry, He Wanrong Studio is a golden signboard!
Starting from the animated movie White Snake with its screen debut, this studio has created one myth after another with a box office of billions, and Nezha in this year's Spring Festival file has broken many records in the Chinese film industry and directly reached the third place in the overall list of history.
Such a proud achievement has to be concerned.
Fortunately, because it is based on the achievements made by animation, there are very few directors and actors who are jealous of him, after all, the success of the movie is only because the special effects and plot are good enough, and it is not a live-action movie, who will be more real than a group of virtual characters?
If He Xiao's live-action movie wins the same box office as Nezha, it will cause a real explosion and make many directors in the industry crazy.
And now, it seems like it's really going to happen!
He Wanrong's studio's first live-action movie is about to start filming, and it is in the process of hot casting.
At a party in a circle.
A group of second- and third-tier directors are having a dinner.
"I'll take a cup, everyone can sit and drink together today, it's all because Director Xu knows, Director Xu brought me back then, I will remember this kindness for a lifetime, I did it!"
"That's that, Director Xu has to be regarded as a top famous director in our country, right? Why don't you tell me about how the industry is going to develop now, and what type of films can you make to go further?"
"Haha, everyone, but I really have some unique insights in terms of filming, first of all, because of our national conditions, this future industry trend will definitely not become the same sci-fi blockbuster as foreign countries, if you want me to say that for a long time in the future, the market belongs to the world of comedy, and there must be a way out for comedy!"
I also agree with Director Xu's statement, comedy will never go out of style. β
"Director Xu, listen to your words, I am empowered, come on, come on, toast you. β
The group of people below said with stinky feet.
Although Director Xu is only a second-tier director, he is at the top in this small circle, which will naturally attract a group of people to seek after.
After three rounds of drinking, someone took his mobile phone to read the news, and suddenly said in surprise: "Huh? He Wanrong's studio is going to make a live-action movie? Or is it a comedy?"
"What? Why do you want to do comedy? Who did the director invite?" When Director Xu heard this, a touch of spirit came to his drunken face and asked.
"Hmm...... The director is himself, and the screenwriter is himself. The man looked at the message from his friend on his phone, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and said.
When everyone at the wine table heard the news, they were silent for a while, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
"He's a layman, even if he acts, he still wants to make movies? Does he think anyone can make movies?"
"Alas, yet another young man who does not know the height of the sky. β
"Nonsense, nonsense, the level of our director circle is ruined by such a-stirring stick, those Internet celebrities have nothing to do with a camera and claim to be the director, how can he be a big name with tens of millions of fans to mix!"
When He Xiao was a singer, no matter how much trouble he made was something that the music industry should worry about, and he had nothing to do with the entertainment industry, but as soon as he came to be a director, everything was different, and the many street directors present seemed to have suddenly found a way to enhance their sense of superiority, desperately finding a sense of existence on this popular star with tens of millions of fans.
But their ideas are understandable, after all, interlacing is like a mountain, why laugh at a singer to run to be an actor, and now he is still whimsical to be a director, this is really nonsense, if everyone can be a director, then why do you need to be a director in college?
Directing is not so good, just like writing, it is important to be able to tell a story, and it is even more important to be able to tell a story with a camera.
In this party, there are a small number of second- and third-tier directors in China, some of whom have been in this circle for decades, and they are still high or low, always wandering in the middle, contributing countless bad movies to China every year, but they are pretentious and proud, but they are actually keen on the colorful glitz and glitz of this industry.
Even Director Xu, who only has a little level, couldn't help but shake his head after hearing that He Xiao was going to get involved in the field of live-action films, and sighed: "The direction of making comedy is right, but it's wrong to shoot it yourself, I'm afraid the investment will be wasted!"
There are many people in the industry who have such thoughts, and even if they don't say it, they are not optimistic about it in their hearts, and they listen to it purely for fun.
Including Shake Light Entertainment, which doesn't know what it's about to face, it's the same.
When the senior leaders of the Shake Light Group, who were biased towards Martin the Clown, heard the news, they almost burst out laughing.
Since they formed a bond with He Xiao, they are destined to have a hostile position between the two, and in recent years, Shaguang has not had a good time in film and television, such as the last time they invested heavily in the animated movie, they worked hard to introduce IP from Japan, but after the release, they were directly forced to touch porcelain by He Xiao's white snake with an investment of less than 100 million, and there was not even any pants left, and the box office hit the street to grandma's house.
This time, they decided to shoot a comedy to make a lot of money, but they didn't expect He Xiao to announce that he was going to enter this field, which made Shaoguang stunned at the beginning, and all that was left was ridicule.
Because He Xiao is his own director and screenwriter!
Please, you're just a singer, and if you die, you'll be given the identity of an actor, do you really think you're omnipotent?
Even if the environment of the Chinese film industry is no longer good, it is also a benchmark for the entertainment level of a big country, not anyone who wants to come over to make money can make money, as the so-called big waves and sands, even if they are recognized as industry giants, they have also invested a lot of money before making money, and invited famous directors and a bunch of super first-line actors to work together.
He Xiao is single-handed, and he doesn't even have a reliable actor, how can he shoot?
Shake Light didn't take the competitor's behavior to heart at all.
β¦β¦
Meanwhile.
He Wanrong in the studio.
He Xiao was checking the artist information forwarded by Yu Xiao in the mailbox one by one, and as for the outside world's evaluation of his behavior, he didn't care too much.
Because he has anticipated what the industry will think, this is human nature, and it is inevitable.
It's like suddenly hearing Xu Song, Jay Chou and others, who are positioned as original singers in the black phone, suddenly announcing to the world that he wants to be a film director and enter the film industry.
But it doesn't matter, the road to success is always lonely, bow your head, look forward to the day, walk forward bravely, the light of dawn, after all, will pass through the darkness.
He Xiao has now decided to be a director and shoot his first movie, maybe he is in a hurry, but he can't control the impulse in his heart, he just wants to give it a try.
Besides, Charlotte is worried about this movie, and he doesn't have very advanced skills in shooting techniques and camera operation, he has seen the original film more than once in his black phone, and he can draw a scoop according to the gourd.
Of course, if it is said that it is a gourd and a scoop, it is impossible to really copy it all, and it has to be based on its own world, many lines in it need to be modified, and the background must be set according to its own era.
For example, Xia Luo just crossed that paragraph, and the sentence "Pu Shu is not on fire, I am going to be on fire" cannot be used, there is no Pu Shu in his world, it is a character in the black phone.
In short, the black phone has opened the door for him, and if this does not succeed, it must be that he is not serious enough and does not work hard enough.
Sitting straight and straight at the desk, He Xiao slid the mouse in his hand again and again, checking the information of one artist after another.
The first email was sent by an actor named Ye Xia, twenty-five years old this year, currently a contracted actor of Tianxing Film and Television Production Company, the contract still expires in three months, and I hope to come to He Wanrong Studio to develop after the expiration.
This actor shouldn't be very famous, because He Xiao hasn't heard of it, he took a look at the photos in the personal image column, as well as his past experience, and found that this is an actor with little fresh meat potential, a little handsome, who debuted three years ago, and has filmed a total of two works, both of which are the male number three of the online drama, tepid.
A little actor with no features, He Xiao put it aside after a simple look at it, leaving it as to be determined.
It's not that he looks down on the little actor, but this person's resume is really not very good, people are visual animals, not to mention the connotation of thought, people who are unwilling to work their appearance, no one will want to know more about it.
This resume is mediocre and does not highlight his own characteristics, so it is really difficult to impress He Xiao.
Open the second email, this is an actress's profile, currently in a state of no signed company, age 28 years old, good looks, has starred in several third-rate idol dramas, played the female number two, is a well-known actor.
However, He Xiao still didn't pay special attention to her, because the self-introduction that this person filled in on the information invisibly revealed a sense of superiority, and the feeling of self-centeredness was very strong, which made He Xiao not like it very much.
The emails went down one by one, although there were very few things that could satisfy He Xiao, after a long time, he only left three phone numbers, and these three were only suitable for playing supporting roles, and he didn't find any of them who could play the leading role.
Charlotte's troubles in this play, in fact, is very interesting in terms of the name, there are a total of six main actors, namely Da Chun, Xia Luo, Qiu Ya, Dongmei, the four seasons of representatives, as well as the symbolic character of Zhang Yang and Yuan Hua sleek, all of which run through the existence of the whole play.
At present, only He Xiao plays Xia Luo, and several other characters have no signs.
A drama is filled step by step from scratch, from bone to flesh, which is obviously a long process, He Xiao can only be patient and read it one by one.
It wasn't until he couldn't remember how many letters he had sent that a unique profile suddenly appeared on the screen, and the reason why this resume was special was that it was presented in the form of a video, which was not only different from other emails, but also full of sincerity......
