Before the audition began, Wu Ershan and Wang Li, director of photography of the "Fengshen" series, art director Ye Jintian, director Chen Guozhang, chief producer Huang Jianxin, co-producer Song Ge and others came to Tang An's office.

The crew is too big, the overall structure is far more than any movie in recent years, and there are more people in the same position.

The bloated ones are just like state-owned enterprises, in addition to the production, there is also a director system, a chief producer, five producers, four co-producers, four producers, and four executive producers.

There are 19 producers and producers alone, which is enough to show how cumbersome this film is, not to mention dozens of middle-level personnel, just the crew has more middle-level and above than the average blockbuster crew.

Tang An also did not participate in the audition, the overall style of the movie has been determined, they are all top professionals in the industry, and there is no big problem in choosing an actor.

I have been in contact with countless actors all year round, and it goes without saying that I can see people's abilities.

Although it is often seen that some film and television dramas will use some actors who are obviously incompatible, there are still few times when they are blind, mainly because of the relationship between all aspects, which affects the actors of a play.

Even Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou can't completely decide the actors they want to use, let alone other people's plays.

The heroines of "The Great Wall" are all set, and Zhang Yimou has no choice.

Feng Xiaogang's "Fanghua" has not started yet, Yan Geling's script has not been finished, he and Guan Hu have made a "Lao Paoer", and after many wrestling, the starring role was determined not long ago.

The two new-generation stars Li Yifeng and Wu Fan played important roles, and these are not the people who Guan Hu wants.

But there is no way, he has to take care of the face of Xiao Fei, the second largest investor in "Lao Paoer", Xiao Fei once graduated from Chinese opera, worked as a singer in Yuquan's EQ Records for several years, and later started his own business, at that time, Li Yifeng's record contract was also signed under Yuquan, and the two had a good relationship.

He is also the helmsman of the original "Three-Body Problem" project of Youchai Pictures, and he is also Wang Zhonglei's golfer, and the A round of financing after starting his business was invested by Huayi.

Teng Huatao was also Wang Zhonglei's golfer and drinking friend back then, and with this relationship, Wang Zhonglei did not invest in "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", and this time he had nothing to say to this golfer.

Of course, one Xiao Fei is not enough, Guan Hu can refuse.

However, coupled with other factors, EQ records can also be said to be Huayi's series, and the actors are barely okay, so Guan Hu used him.

Wu Fan is similar, the daughter of Sparkle Roll's boss is his fan sister, and Feng Xiaogang is a shareholder of Sparkle Roll.

Cheng Long is also a shareholder of Sparkle Roll, and Huayi also wants to win over Cheng Long, after all, Cheng Long's films have sold well in the past two years.

The entertainment industry is basically a fight for connections and resources, and the casting of many projects cannot be completely focused on the project itself.

If you can't fly, you can only say that the resources are not enough and not good enough.

However, the "Fengshen" series does not have to worry about the relationship and human affection in all aspects, Tang An once again emphasized, "Please leave the audition to you, take care of it, as long as the most suitable actors." ”

Wu Ershan nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Tang Dong, we are fully prepared for every role." ”

"We also come at Director Wu's request, as long as Director Wu thinks it is suitable. ”

Huang Jianxin, Chen Guozhang and others also expressed their opinions, mainly based on the director's opinion.

If you know what kind of actor to look for, there will be no problem.

With a clear goal, things can go smoothly and be more successful, which is the same in any industry.

Xiaomi has developed rapidly in the past two years, that is, Lei Jun has done a good job of accurate market positioning and is cost-effective.

The second blue-green factory was able to succeed, and later overwhelmed Xiaomi in terms of market share, and it was also clearly positioned to seize the girls' market.

It is definitely more important for girls to take pictures of themselves with their mobile phones than to shoot others, so in the future, the front camera of the mobile phone of the second blue-green factory will be higher than the rear.

As for running points or something, most people don't care.

The same is true for the film and television industry, more and more idol dramas of urban, costume, martial arts, Xianxia, and magic genres are appearing, and filming one is scolded and scolded, no matter what type of remake, it will become an idol drama.

The production company has also found the right market positioning, and they shoot these idol scripts for fans, girls, and audiences with a relatively low age group.

The positioning of the "Fengshen" series is an epic blockbuster, and it cannot be made into an idol film or a romance film, and the casting must also be like this.

The overall style is different, and the actors used are different.

......

The audition lasted a whole afternoon, and it was already past the end of the work period.

Wu Ershan also took a copy of the list they had negotiated and handed it to Tang An for a look.

"Tang Dong, the main roles are basically decided, and there are individual actors who have to think about it again, take a look. ”

"It's hard work Wu Dao, I'll take a look. ”

Tang An took a stack of resumes, marked with their respective roles, and looked at them carefully.

King of the Ring, Zhang Hanyu.

Daji, Tang Yan.

Empress Jiang, Qin Lan.

Shen Gongbao, Huang Bo.

Wen Zhong, Zhang Guangping.

Bigan, Tang Guo Wall.

Fei Zhong, Wang Xun.

Jiang Ziya, Chen Kun.

Ji Chang, Ma Shaohua.

Ji Fa, Wang Kai.

Bo Yi Kao, Hu Ge.

Yang Jian, Han Dong.

......

The trilogy, with more than a dozen main characters, is basically all in place.

Wu Ershan thought about it for a long time before the audition, observed many actors, and had a rough number in his heart, so that he could determine these roles in one afternoon.

This lineup couldn't be more luxurious.

Huang Bo and Chen Kun's salaries have entered the 10 million club, and Zhang Hanyu has invested 10 million shares with a salary of 10 million because of "The Cook's Drama", like Huang Bo and Liu Ye, and now the external quotation has also reached 10 million.

30 million level actors, plus Tang Yan's salary of 8 million, the salary of these four first-line movie stars is close to 40 million.

Tang Guoqiang, Zhang Guangyi, Ma Shaohua These old drama bones are cheap, although Wang Kai and Hu Ge have high salaries in the field of TV dramas, but on the big screen, it is less than half of Chen Kun and them.

Wu Ershan also explained on the side why he chose these actors.

The character settings are different, and the types of actors are also different.

Zhang Hanyu's King of the Dragon, Chen Kun's Jiang Ziya, these two roles are a big challenge, and the changes are relatively big.

There is generally no problem, Wu Ershan is the director, and he has naturally figured out who to choose, and Tang An agreed to the list.

Zhang Guangsheng played Wen Zhong, but unfortunately there was no suitable role for Li Youbing in the Western Zhou Dynasty, otherwise Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong would be able to get together again.

If the two of them really want to face each other on the battlefield, the jokers on the Internet must have another ghost animal theme, with the dubbing of "Brother Yunlong, Concubine Yun is here".

Looking for Zhang Guangli to play Wen Zhong, instead of the Tang Guoqiang as he thought before, Wu Ershan also thought about it for a long time, after all, Wen Zhong is a master, and the only person who can manage the king is still a military general.

Zhang Guangyi has an obvious arrogance, whether it is Lu Bu or Chu Yunfei, it is very suitable to face the King of Xuan and the Western Zhou army with this temperament, and to face Jiang Ziya.

Between Shang Rong and Bigan, Wu Ershan also chose to let Tang Guoqiang play Bigan.

As a loyal minister with a lot of scenes, it is definitely more important than dry.

Yaxiang is also the prime minister, from Zhuge Prime Minister to Yabigan, but unfortunately there is no Sima Yi on the other side, whether it is Wei Zongwan or Ni Dahong, they can't play Ji Chang.

Ma Shaohua's face is more suitable to play Ji Chang, with kind eyebrows and good intentions, full of wisdom and majesty, and that "*** in the Turning Point of History" is also a rare masterpiece in the same genre, and the interpretation is very good.

After making sure that there was no problem, Tang An arranged for Zhao Jun to pick a time to sign contracts with the actors.

Although it is a trilogy, it will definitely not give three salaries, otherwise the four first-line stars alone will cost more than 100 million, and although the other actors have two or three million things, they can't stand up to the number of people.

And most of the supporting roles are not played in every part, and even if they don't have much time.

Back then, only one of the two parts of "Red Cliff" was paid, and they were all filmed together, if one was released and the second part was filmed, then two salaries would definitely have to be paid.

However, the salary given to one of these trilogies is not suitable, and several leading actors throughout the series are given 1.8 times the salary.

The trilogy gives 1.8 times the salary, which is not a lot, an absolute conscience price.

After all, even if it is a few protagonists, not all of them will be absolute protagonists in every part.

And this time between the actors and the investors, the investors take the initiative, not to mention 1.8 times the salary, even if it is 1.5 times, these actors will accept it, after all, the investment of two billion, I don't know if I can meet it once in ten years, once the box office hits, then the harvest is not this.

The others are given according to the number of scenes, and this production department will naturally be good.

This is good for the series to be filmed at one time, and the cost of the actor can be saved.
