Chapter 451: Auditions
The script was handed over to Zhao Rong, but Wang Hao didn't let her write it, and now the screenwriters in the entertainment industry are basically studios, and there will be three to five deputies around to help write the script, so Qu Bing also equipped Zhao Rong with three assistants.
"Brother Hao, actor, who do you think we invite?" After Qu Bing arranged an assistant for Zhao Rong, he came to Wang Hao with a cast list.
Wang Hao took the cast list and looked at it, frowned slightly, and said: "Why is the actor's fee so high? It's tens of millions, and this one is 80 million, robbing money." ”
Qu Bing heard this, his face was full of black lines, and explained: "Brother Hao, it's all at this price now, especially the traffic Xiaosheng and Xiaohua, the asking price is very high, and they don't accept it at all when the money is low, Northwest Pictures spent 150 million yuan to dig Lu Han and Ouyang Nina." ”
"How much? Don't they invest only 200 million? The male and female leading actors are only 150 million?" Wang Hao's eyes widened, he didn't know much about this industry.
"Well, the other actors almost need 10 million, and the money that can be used for real filming is more than 30 million at most. Qu Bing said: "Now everyone is like this. ”
"It's not necessarily right. Wang Hao said with a frown.
Qu Bing opened his mouth and did not speak.
Wang Hao thought for a moment, put down the cast list in his hand, and said: "The movie should also focus on quality, and there is no need for any of these little flowers without acting skills." ”
"Where are our heroes and heroines found?" Qu Bing asked.
"Auditions, there are talented people among the extras, there are actors who are not famous for their acting skills, so many people graduate from major art academies every year, and there are only two or three who can come out, this time we will give others a chance. Wang Hao said.
Qu Bing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll start preparing immediately, Brother Hao, how much are we going to invest in this movie?"
"The amount of investment depends on the situation, but the cost of all actors is controlled within 10 million. Wang Hao said.
"Ten million?" Qu Bing's eyes widened.
"Yes, within the actor's salary of 10 million, the rest of the money is used for the quality of the film. Wang Hao said.
"Okay!" Qu Bing nodded, feeling a little unaccustomed, all actors' salaries were controlled at 10 million, which was okay ten years ago, and now it is in 100 million, but since Wang Hao said so, she can only do it.
……
Central Academy of Drama, in the senior dormitory, there is still half a month to graduate, and the two little flowers that became famous early have been scraped by the two giants of Huayi and Tianyu, and the rest of the people, if they want to continue in this industry, they can only slowly stay up or sell their bodies, and maybe they may get a good role.
Jiang Xiaolan, from her freshman year to her senior year, has always been the first in professional classes, her acting talent is very high, and the teacher also thinks she is a good seedling, so she has recommended her to act since her sophomore year, but she is too upright and always has a bad relationship with the director, and then the teacher does not recommend it.
In fact, the so-called bad relationship with the director is that the director asked her to go to the room at night and wanted to have some childhood discord with her, but Jiang Xiaolan slapped her.
In fact, in the entertainment industry, it is already normal for actresses to sleep with directors or assistant directors, and there are only two kinds of people who can win roles without sleeping, first, bring funds into the group, and there are financiers behind them; second, big names who have become famous.
If a college student wants to get a role, how can he not sleep with him? Not to mention that the heroine must use eighteen kinds of martial arts to serve the director well in bed.
"Xiaolan, have you signed the company?" asked Du Juan, who was in the same bedroom.
Jiang Xiaolan shook her head.
"Xiaolan, you are a natural actor, and now the rules of the entertainment industry are like that, or ......"
Before Du Juan's words were finished, he was interrupted by Jiang Xiaolan: "I won't sell my body." ”
"Alas!" the cuckoo sighed.
"Juanzi, are you really going to go home and give up the show?" Jiang Xiaolan turned her head to stare at Du Juan and asked.
"Well, I can't get used to those fat and stinky men doing things to themselves, plus they don't have any acting talent, and their parents still have a little energy in their hometown, so they found a job at the city TV station. Cuckoo said.
Jiang Xiaolan didn't speak, her parents are laid-off workers, and now they sell vegetables in the vegetable market, her father used to be a member of the Youth League Committee of the factory, and she has a bit of literary and artistic talent, she inherited her father's talent in this area, and her academic performance was very good that year, she could have been admitted to 211 University, but in the end she chose Chinese opera.
never thought that she, who was the first in her major for four years, would have no drama to shoot after graduation.
"By the way, Xiaolan, the crew of Youth is openly recruiting heroines, and it says that as long as you have the ability, they will dare to use it, absolutely fair and just. The cuckoo suddenly saw a message on the Internet: "I've signed you up." ”
Jiang Xiaolan smiled and said, "Thank you!" In fact, she didn't take it seriously in her heart, she had participated in many of these auditions, saying that it was fair and just, but in fact, the role had already been decided, so she had already died.
"Xiaolan, you go and try it, even if the heroine is set, with your acting talent and solid skills, the second or third female is more than enough. Cuckoo said.
"I'm going to take the cross-professional screenwriting graduate school and do behind-the-scenes work in the future, as for acting, I may not have a chance in this life, unless there is a clear stream in the entertainment industry. Jiang Xiaolan said with a dead heart.
"Xiaolan, you just go, give yourself a chance, let's go, let's go now. Du Juan said, and then dragged Jiang Xiaolan out of the dormitory.
Wang Hao and Zhao Rong sat behind a table in a big room, a little inapplicable, it should have been the director to choose people, but on the first day Wang Hao came, he opened the director, so he had to pull Zhao Rong to fill the scene.
"Brother Hao, I ......"
"What are you, aren't you a master's degree in directing from Yale University, can't you pick an actor?" Wang Hao glared at her.
Zhao Rong was so depressed in her heart, she felt that she was on a thief ship, Zhongyi Film and Television Company, only signed a director, and let Wang Hao open it, leaving one economic person, three young actors who are not famous at all, and their acting skills are also average, they can barely make do with a supporting role, plus a Qu Bing, there is no one anymore, if you don't know that Zhongyi Group is about to go public, it feels like a leather bag company.
There are two checkpoints in this audition, Qu Bing and a staff member are the first, for registration and the first screening, Wang Hao and Zhao Rong are the second pass.
Qu Bing had done a good job of publicity before, and there were many people with the dream of performing, so a lot of people came that day, and after about a click, there were already hundreds of people.
Jiang Xiaolan and Du Juan were mixed in, Jiang Xiaolan didn't have much interest, but at Du Juan's request, she still filled in the information, Qu Bing looked at it and said, "You haven't graduated yet?"
"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaolan nodded and said, "You didn't say in the audition advertisement that you can't sign up if you don't graduate." She felt that she had already made up her mind anyway, so she didn't have a good attitude towards Qu Bing.
Qu Bing nodded slightly and said, "I'll take a look at the performance of a little sister." ”
Jiang Xiaolan found a baseball cap from the side and wore it backwards, took off her clothes and wrapped it around her waist, and then walked up to Qu Bing in a huff and said, "Stinky **, dare to rob my boyfriend, believe it or not, I'll make your face." ”
Her performance was very in place, her tone and expression were just right, Qu Bing suddenly felt angry for a moment, and then smiled, she knew that the other party's performance was very successful, because it mobilized her emotions, knowing that the other party was performing, and she could also be mobilized emotionally, which showed that the other party was very talented.
"Okay, you've passed, let's go to another room for an interview. Qu Bing said with a slight smile to Jiang Xiaolan, and then handed her the information sheet and asked her to take it to Wang Hao and Zhao Rong's room.
