Chapter 3 Auditions and Signings

There were three people sitting in the audition room, namely assistant director Lin Jinxi, producer Yu Yang and casting director Sun Qiang...

Shen Ming knew them, mainly relying on the identity cards placed on the table.

At first glance, it is a regular crew, he used to go to a crew called "24 Hours of Torture and Killing", there are 7 people in the whole crew, and the director is also a photographer, producer, field affairs and lighting...

"Hello teacher, my name is Shen Ming. ”

He bowed politely.

This is the basic etiquette at the time of audition...

"Tell me about your experience!"

"I went to Hengdian in March last year, did a group performance, ran a group special, a special actor, and also played a supporting role in "Tianju"!"

"Heavenly Bureau?"

"Is it Liu Weikang's work?"

"Yes!"

"Heavenly Bureau" is a work written by the famous martial arts novelist Bu Feiyan, produced by iQiyi and broadcast exclusively, most of the netizens' comments 'The plot is okay, the actors' acting skills are too bad'...

Several people discussed it in a whisper, and then Lin Jinxi in the middle asked, "... Do you know Liu Wei?"

"I've read 'Three Kingdoms'!"

“… How old are you this year?"

"19 years old!"

"Age is ok..."

“… Okay, you go out first!"

Shen Ming sighed secretly, still smiling, and left the audition room...

He is not a rookie, so he naturally understands what it means to 'go out for a while', which is equivalent to an interview, and the interviewer says to you, 'You go back first and wait for news, and we will notify you as soon as we decide.'" ’

……

Before he walked out of the room, the old driver beside him suddenly sighed: "China's film and television industry is really incomprehensible!"

"What do you mean?"

"Not even the Actors' Guild!"

“… Who's to say no? Haven't I already joined the Hengdian Actors Guild?"

"I'm talking about the kind of actors union in the United States, the kind where all actors join together!"

“… By the way, didn't you say that you would definitely be able to help me win the role of Liu Wei?"

"You can't blame me for this, they didn't audition, they just glanced at you, how can I help you?"

"It's useless, it's useless, where are there so many excuses?"

took out his mobile phone and looked at it, at two o'clock in the afternoon, there should be other work, and I was going to call and ask the ninth brother of the group to see if he could help introduce one or two crews.

was about to make a phone call, when a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Shen Ming, hurry up!"

Shen Ming turned his head, it was Liu Jun...

"Brother Liu, what's wrong?"

"You auditioned!"

“… Really?"

How did it pass?

"Yongle Film and Television is expanding, they want to bring out a few artists, you have a suitable image, a clean family, and a political outlook..."

"I'm a Young Pioneer!"

“… I mean, Yongle Film and Television might want to sign you!"

"Huh?"

Shen Ming was completely stunned, he was ready to get out, and suddenly an old driver, known as the godfather of Hollywood, cried and shouted to teach him to act, and another company came and wanted to sign him?

What is this?

See the light at the end of the tunnel?

……

The chairman of Yongle Film and Television is called Cheng Lidong, who graduated from the Department of Journalism of Zhejiang University of Media and Communication.

After graduation, he has been working as a host on Zhejiang Satellite TV, and for about 2,000 years, he went to sea to be a producer...

After successively producing popular TV series such as "Sunshine Zone" and "Cornucopia", he began to set up his own company, that is, Yongle Film and Television.

The company's first play is "Fengming Qishan"!

The one starring Fan Ye and Brother Xiaoma...

After making a name, he successively produced a series of costume dramas such as "New Water Margin", "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and so on.

Cheng Lidong was born in Zhejiang Satellite TV, naturally has a good relationship with the TV station, a series of film and television dramas have been sold, if it continues to develop, self-sufficiency will definitely not be a problem, Cheng Lidong has no ambition, he can do his favorite job, and watch his favorite works appear on the small screen, which is good!

Especially after he learned to be a director, he felt that doing film and television was a very interesting thing.

Who knew that capital began to invade!

A bunch of people with checks want to buy shares in Yongle Film and Television...

The purpose of these people is to make Yongle Film and Television bigger, and then go public, they can cut leeks...

You see, Cheng Lidong knew the purpose of these people, but he still expanded aggressively - no way, the wealth is moving!

For example, "Martial God Zhao Zilong".

This thing is a high-quality IP, and several investors have said that they will develop omni-channel, in addition to producing film and television dramas, they will also develop mobile games and stage plays to maximize benefits!

If you think about it, the entire "Martial God Zhao Zilong" invested 200 million yuan, and Yongle Film and Television didn't pay a penny, all of which were financed.

Yongle Film and Television can share half of the profits with the brand alone!

Is there a faster way to make money?

Of course, be prepared for danger in times of peace, the so-called people have no long-term concerns, and there must be near-term worries!

With such a good opportunity, Cheng Lidong decided to add the Yongle film and television brokerage department!

No matter how the entertainment industry is, artists are fixed assets, and now hot money is pouring in, of course, I want to take this opportunity to make my artists popular!

If you can pick up one or two first-line superstars, hehe...

……

Regarding the question of whether to sign a contract, Shen Ming didn't bother much.

He didn't need the old driver to persuade him, he signed the contract directly...

He is now the lowest group performer, and he is really precarious.

After signing the contract, there is a company covering, at least there is no shortage of drama contracts, Yongle Film and Television is such a big company, and the film and television dramas produced by the company every year will definitely give priority to the company's contracted artists!

The rookie contract, 35% commission, is not too high.

If you go to perform in a group, you will also be taxed by the group, 200 yuan, you have to pay 50 yuan, in addition, the actors' union will also collect money, and the maximum amount you get is 120, which is much more powerful than the newcomer contract!

The most important thing is that Sister Juanzi, that is, Shen Ming's agent, said, "Martial God Zhao Zilong", his salary is 2,000 yuan!

The role of three episodes is 6,000!

Damn, 6,000 yuan, he ran for two months, and he saved more than 5,000 yuan at most, no wonder so many people want to be actors, the money comes too fast!

"What is this? You know that The Big Bang Theory? Those regular actors are each paid $1.2 million per episode!"

“… $1.2 million?"

"Not only that, the actors of "Friends", in the last season, the salary for a single episode is as high as 1.8 million US dollars!"

“…”

Shen Ming was shocked...

He knows that actors are very profitable, and there were reports a few days ago that a certain little fresh meat won 120 million for a TV series...

He felt very far away from himself, after all, it was difficult to replicate things like looks and popularity.

"Let me tell you, as long as you act well, there will be no shortage of money, according to the progress of your country's film and television industry, in a few years, the audience will definitely not be satisfied with simple appearance, at that time, it will be the world of acting, with my guidance, you will definitely become an actor!"

“… Forget about the actor, I think it's very satisfying to have a million, and when I make money, I'll buy you a piece of land..."

“… Why do you buy land?"

"Settle in the ground..."After hesitating for a moment, he may feel that Western ghosts don't like to be buried directly in the soil: "It's really not good, I can buy you a coffin..."

It took Kominsky a long time to respond, and the ghost said, "I'm a ghost without a body, not a vampire!"
