Chapter 131: Interview

Early the next morning, before half past eight, several actors who were favored by Qin Feng yesterday came to the studio early and waited for the interview.

It's a real challenge for them, but it's also a good opportunity.

If you can pass the interview, it not only means that you can get a lot of money, but you may also receive other films, at least you don't have to squat in the group performance area every day like now, waiting for luck to come.

"You say, this studio can't be a liar, right?" There are still about twenty minutes before the interview time, and Wang Xiaohu has already become somewhat familiar with several other actors who came to participate in the interview, and said with some worries.

"It's hard to say, I checked the Internet after I got home last night, and I didn't see any film and television dramas produced by this studio. Marquin was equally concerned.

"I also checked, and only found out in the public information of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau that the registration time of this studio was a few months ago, and it was just a week ago that it had just obtained the authorization for film and television shooting. Wang Ning said.

"Dude, have you found anything else?" The fat man who had been listening from the sidelines, Wang Dazhi couldn't help but squeeze up and asked.

"No, we can't find the core information of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, only the name of the studio, the business scope and the legal person can be seen, but we only know that the legal person's surname is Qin, two words, and it is not clear what it is called. Wang Ning shook his head and said.

"Forget it, it's a big deal to waste half a day, and if we pay later, we'll just leave. Tang Qiang said on the side.

"Yes, let me pay and leave. Several people nodded in agreement.

Promising to play the starring role, and then charging a certain fee to the other party, is a common deceptive method in the entertainment industry.

But more often than not, there are scam companies, and the fees they charge are not high, and almost everyone can afford them.

But for this kind of scammer method, which has long been uncommon, the society has long been well aware, but even so, there are not a few people who have been deceived, because everyone has a dream of stardom.

"Wang Dazhi! Tang Qiang!" Just as a few people were muttering and chatting, the assistant took the list given by Qin Feng and shouted in order.

"Yes, yes. The fat man Wang Dazhi immediately changed his expression and posted it with a smile. Regardless of whether he is true or not, he doesn't want to miss this opportunity anyway.

"Here's it. Tang Qiang also hurriedly stood up.

"Follow me. The assistant said to Wang Dazhi, and then said, "Wang Xiaohu and Ma Kun are ready." ”

There is no need for anything in the conference room, the location of the interview is in Qin Feng's office, and there are only two interviewers, Qin Feng and Ning Hao.

After the two followed the assistant into the office, they couldn't help but get nervous, although they had been extras many times and had some experience in front of the camera.

But this time they were never able to calm down, after all, this was a turning point in their fate, and no one wanted to mess up.

After entering, the two found that the person in front of them was actually Qin Feng, the hottest artist in the entertainment industry recently, and they were a little excited and nervous all of a sudden.

"Don't be nervous, introduce yourself, I am the chairman of the studio and the director of this drama, Qin Feng.

Next, the two of you will act in a play as partners, Wang Dazhi will play the fat translator, and Tang Qiang will play the commander of the island country, the content is that the fat translator accepts money and invites the commander to eat at a restaurant, I hope you can add some funny factors to the play. Perhaps seeing the nervousness of the two, Qin Feng simply introduced himself and told the two of them what they were going to play next.

In the interview, Qin Feng didn't plan to tell them how to act, this link tested the actor's own creative ability.

Of course, it is impossible for Qin Feng not to guide, just his script, he may not be able to perform it if he looks at it.

What Qin Feng hopes for is an actor who can understand everything, not an actor who needs to tell the drama again and again.

Wang Dazhi and Tang Qiang brewed for a few minutes or so, they had acted in this kind of scene, but most of them were watching, with their status and status, they were not even qualified to be a translator around an island country. Of course, it may also be considered a lack of luck.

"Taijun! hey, hey, Taijun!" The two signaled to each other that they could start, and Wang Dazhi walked up to Tang Qiang with a cheap face, and said with a downright compliment.

"What's the matter?" Tang Qiang glanced at Wang Dazhi and said disdainfully.

"Taijun, I ate roast duck in our city yesterday, it tastes very good, I want you to try it if you have time. Wang Dazhi said with a smile, and the translation on his face did not change.

"Is it delicious?" asked Tang Qiang.

"It's delicious, Taijun, I want to eat two meals, I want to eat two meals and think three times, and I still have saliva. Wang Dazhi hurriedly responded, and after drooling after speaking, he deliberately licked his lips, revealing a delicious appearance.

"No, the security in the city has not been very good lately. Tang Qiang said calmly.

Tang Qiang refused, Wang Dazhi's face skimmed towards Qin Feng, although there was a problem with this angle at the moment, Tang Qiang would also see the next move he was going to do.

But now it's not official filming, he has to let Qin Feng see his facial expressions. Otherwise, he turned his back to Qin Feng, and the ghost knew what expression he made.

"If this Taijun doesn't go, Lao Huang Ke will have to ask me for money, no, I have to let him go, the money in my pocket, no one wants to take it." Wang Dazhi's face showed a look of pain, obviously reluctant to pay the money, after a while, he turned his head to Tang Qiang and said: "Taijun, I heard that this Quanjuxian's roast duck is the most authentic roast duck we make within a radius of 100 miles." ”

"Oh, really? Then I'll have to find time to get a meal. Tang Qiang's expression, which had always remained unchanged, finally showed a hint of expectation.

"Taijun, when are you free? I'll let them prepare in advance. Wang Dazhi smiled and posted it.

"I'll be free at night!" Tang Qiang paused for about a second before immediately replying.

"Okay, okay, I'll go tell them to get ready. Wang Dazhi laughed and ran out.

"Wait, let them bring the roast duck in the evening. Tang Qiang said to Wang Dazhi's back.

'Bang Bang Bang~~~'

After the two finished acting, Qin Feng couldn't help but get up and applaud. I have to say that this is completely the true nature of the performance.

Moreover, the plot played by the two is not much different from the script, which is suitable, it is simply too suitable.

Qin Feng applauded, this was a good signal, but Qin Feng hadn't really expressed his opinion yet. Wang Dazhi and Tang Qiang were also very nervous, as if they were criminals who had committed a crime, waiting for the court's verdict.

"Director, how are we doing?" asked Wang Dazhi cautiously.

"Not bad! Not bad!" Qin Feng said that two were good, and Qin Feng was very satisfied with the performances of these two. immediately decided: "The roles of the two of you are decided, Wang Dazhi plays the fat translator, and Tang Qiang plays the commander." Ning Hao, you take them outside to negotiate the contract and let the next group come in. ”

There are advantages and disadvantages to melodramas, there are almost no supporting roles in the play, and it can be said that everyone is the protagonist, so there are particularly high requirements for the selection of the protagonist.

Qin Feng has a finished TV series in his heart, so he has very strict conditions for the selection of actors.

These people who were selected by themselves are basically the same as the characters in the TV series in my impression.

In terms of acting skills, it can't be compared, although the impression is not a first-line movie star, but it is by no means a group performance.

There is still a period of time before the official shooting, so Qin Feng is not worried about acting, and on his own script, Qin Feng still has to talk to them, if it really doesn't work, just talk about it one by one, although it seems to be a little slow, but the speed of filming is still amazing.

Today, a total of nine actors came to interview, and Qin Feng directly finalized the roles of eight people.

Although the other one is similar in size, his acting skills are too poor, it can be said that he only does what he does, and he has no idea of his own at all, and this type of person is only suitable for being a group performer.

There are a total of twelve leading actors in the whole play, and in addition to the eight people who have been finalized, there are four roles that have not recruited the right people.

However, Qin Feng, the three of them, is not very worried, the actor who plays Xiaoshi and the other two is easy to find, but the actor Qin Feng who plays Shuigen has not yet been found.

If you insist on picking out a protagonist in this drama, it must be Cai Shuigen. Therefore, in terms of Cai Shuigen's choice, Qin Feng's attitude is still relatively rigorous.

The things about the filming of the TV series are almost ready now, and the last four actors will come to the interview tomorrow, and once they pass, they will just wait for the start of the film.

Now Qin Feng's life has completely begun to get busy.

For the first play he directed, Qin Feng is still quite serious.

The next day, after interviewing several protagonists, three of the remaining four protagonists have been determined, but the candidate for the first male protagonist Cai Shuigen has not yet been determined.

Cai Shuigen is not an ordinary character, the whole drama is completely unfolded with Cai Shuigen as the core, as the central axis of the whole play, for this character, Qin Feng does not dare to let those group actors play it.

Qin Feng has fallen in love with a few good people, has filming experience, and has a certain reputation in China, which is also helpful for this drama.

can not only teach the fulfillment of filming to these 'protagonists' who can only perform in groups, but also bring some popularity to this drama.

It's just that the result was not as smooth as imagined, the first actor who was favored by Qin Feng was named Wang Yuan, and after the invitation letter was issued, he was directly rejected by the other party, on the grounds that there was no schedule, if the crew could set the filming time for next year, maybe he would consider it.

Obviously, the other party didn't want to participate, even though it was a TV sitcom with Qin Feng participating.

Qin Feng's fame in the music world did not bring him any help in the film and television industry at all, even if a recent online drama starring him was very popular, but this drama is actually the female number one.

The second person who was fancied was named Wang Hai, a second-tier actor in China, without too much explanation, and replied directly to Qin Feng in four words, without a schedule.

The third one I like is Li Da, a quasi-first-line actor in China. After reading the other party's reply, Qin Feng directly threw the fax aside, and didn't even bother to reply to the other party's action.

The salary of 350,000 yuan for an episode is not too high for a first-line actor, but for a person of Li Da's level, it is a bit outrageous.

According to the information inquired by Qin Feng, the highest-paid actors in China currently have a salary of 60-800,000 yuan per episode for TV dramas. Among all the first-line actors, the lowest salary is about 300,000.

And the second-tier stars are far behind, the highest is only 300,000, and the lowest is 123,000.

The reason why Li Da was chosen, in addition to the accident that he felt that his image was quite suitable, the other is his salary, according to the data, Li Da's salary is about 150,000 per episode.

Although it is still very high, it has far exceeded the salary of other leading actors, but Li Da is somewhat famous and has a lot of fans in China.

It's just that what Qin Feng didn't expect was that the other party actually opened his mouth and asked for the price of a first-line star, although it was already a quasi-first-line, but no matter how it was said, it was also a second-line.

Therefore, the matter of inviting celebrities is in vain for the time being. Sitting in the office, Qin Feng sat behind the desk with a sad face, helpless.

Now everything is ready, just send the actor, everyone is waiting for an actor, and the worst thing is that this actor has not been found yet.

Ning Hao sat on the sofa, looking at Qin Feng, who was helpless, and never spoke.

Regarding the selection of actors, although he has some right to suggest, Ning Hao does not plan to suggest anything to Qin Feng

"Kaede is less, the budget is made. Li An held a stack of financial statements in his hand, knocked on the door, and walked into Qin Feng's office and reported.

"How much?" Qin Feng raised his head and asked.

"The actor's salary is currently 1.54 million, the director's salary is 200,000, the salary of the crew members is 410,000 yuan per month, and the personnel cost is between 2.15 million and 2.97 million.

The venue cost is 100,000 yuan per month, the venue construction cost is 529,000 yuan, and the security cost is 30,000 yuan per month. The total is between 659,000 and 919,000.

Equipment costs 300,000 yuan per month, and other vehicles, meals, etc. cost about 150,000 yuan per month.

There is also public relations in the later stage, etc., and the total budget is about 500 to 7 million. Li An took the report and read.

Between five million and seven million, this price is not high, at least in the TV drama industry, it is a completely low-cost production.

Of course, this time it is mainly because the leading actors are all group performances selected by Qin Feng, although Qin Feng has offered a sky-high salary for them, but for those online stars, this money is not enough to stuff their teeth.

is like Li Da's 350,000 per episode, if Qin Feng agrees, his salary alone will reach 9.8 million, which is much more than the entire shooting budget.

"Okay, I see. Qin Feng nodded, not having any objections to this budget.

Now the biggest headache is the actor of Shuigen, if it really doesn't work, you can only bargain with a certain star by gritting your teeth.

"Feng Shao, there is a sentence that I don't know if to say or not?" When Qin Feng was struggling with a headache, Ning Hao suddenly spoke.

Now that everything is ready, the entire crew is already on standby, but here it has to postpone the start time because of a leading actor's problem.

What's even worse is that Ning Hao has already gone to find someone to see it before, and the day after tomorrow is a good day and an auspicious day, which is very suitable for them to turn on.

If the actor can't be found anymore, then the auspicious day for the start of the film will have to wait until next month.
