Chapter 250: Fighting openly and stealing
With the white-hot casting competition of "The Condor Heroes", various revelations and publicity have also followed, and the trend of things and the popularity of the topic have completely exceeded the casting itself.
First of all, Huang Xiaoming inadvertently broke the news in front of the media that Nie Yuan had terminated the contract with Huayi, and the newly signed brokerage company was Ciwen Oriental Company, one of the investors of "The Condor Heroes", and he also complained to reporters, "Think about what this means." ”
And Ma Zhongjun, one of the producers of "The Condor Heroes", ——— China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Audiovisual Publishing House, flatly denied the existence of an insider, and said that no matter what kind of attitude Huang Xiaoming had expressed, he still had a role in competing for the role of Yang Guo.
Then Nie Yuan was also criticized for being suspected of plastic surgery, etc., and he even retorted excitedly in front of the media: "I don't know what Yang Guo looks like, how can I follow him for plastic surgery." ”
Twilight.
Zhuozhou, Hebei.
The backstage of the crew of "The Great Han Women".
As soon as Nie Yuan got out of the play, the scene reporter ran over with a boxed lunch: "Nie Yuan, the media has come to visit the class!"
"What media?"
"A lot, Sina, Tencent, NetEase are almost all here!"
"You tell them to wait a minute, I'll take off my makeup. ”
Nie Yuan felt that something was not right, he knew that these reporters were all running for the casting news of "The Condor Heroes" to do things, but it was not so many websites that came to visit the class.
After removing his makeup and coming to the interview area set up by the crew, Nie Yuan saw that a bunch of media and reporters had already crowded the room, and he felt like he was participating in the Hongmen banquet.
Fortunately, he received relevant training when he first entered the industry, kept his lips raised, and began to answer questions with a smile on his face.
"Nie Yuan, can you tell us about the progress of your cooperation with the crew of "Condor"? Huang Xiaoming said that you are the actor set by the crew of "Condor", is this true?"
Nie Yuanqiang held back his anger, "This is not true, everyone is fair competition, and everyone has a chance." ”
"Nie Yuan, why did you leave Huayi and join Ciwen Oriental Company? Does it mean that Yang Guo's role is no longer yours?"
"No, Yang Guo is the top priority of "The Condor Heroes", so investors are particularly cautious in choosing roles. As for the 'inside story' claimed by some actors, I don't know about it, and the selection of actors requires listening to the opinions of all parties after comprehensive consideration, and such deliberation takes a certain amount of time, and it is normal for opinions to change. ”
The reporter's microphone and questions were about to poke in his face, although Nie Yuan still maintained a calm smile, but the emotions that had been suppressed in his body almost made him restless.
"What do you think are the specific criteria for playing Yang Guo?"
"In fact, the simplest criterion is suitability, including appearance and acting skills, etc., of course, we also have to listen to the opinions of the production team and the audience. ”
In short, 90 percent of the questions asked by these media reporters revolved around the "casting of the Condor".
Later, when he and Huayi parted ways a few days ago, Nie Yuan thought of the recent smearing of his old club in traditional media and the Internet, and he was also a little indignant: "I stayed in the previous company for five years, and I have gained and regretted, and there are times when I don't understand, everyone has this experience. I used to put all my energy into acting, and I didn't care about anything else. Along the way, whether it is publicity or other aspects, in fact, it is your job, not just to act, the previous company may have some problems in the investment of personnel, in the investment of resources, but at least in the past five years, I am worthy of that company, and I have no regrets. ”
In the end, Nie Yuan said that the matter had passed and he didn't want to mention it again, let alone compare it with other competitors, until today, Nie Yuan and Huang Xiaoming have also changed from brothers in the same company to strangers.
In fact, the moment Nie Yuan became Yang Guo's candidate, the pressure from all sides almost overwhelmed him, and many good books were stagnant because of waiting for this role, his agent and some friends were never proud and happy about it, on the contrary, they were persuading him to get out quickly, so as not to cause unnecessary losses, but he really didn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Moreover, in the past two months, more and more negative news has been overwhelmingly smashing on Nie Yuan, and he has deeply felt the malice and slander from this world.
Obviously, in the face of bad comments, Nie Yuan is far inferior to Huang Xiaoming, Nie Yuan's personality is too restrained and vigilant after all, but Huang Xiaoming's talent for resisting pressure is a historical horror, and he is not afraid of what others say and think, and he still feels good about himself.
The development of the gaffe was completely beyond Lin Xiaoguang's expectations.
Because in Lin Xiaoguang's memory, the mainland version of "The Condor Heroes" should be starring Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei, but so far, in Lin Xiaoguang's opinion, Huang Xiaoming's chances of winning are obviously not as good as Nie Yuan.
Otherwise, Huang Xiaoming would not have torn his face with Nie Yuan in public and said those sour words to the media, not to mention that not long after Nie Yuan left Huayi, the newly signed film and television company was one of the investors of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Therefore, judging from the current form, the role of Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" may fall on Nie Yuan nine times out of ten.
Could it be because of himself that he quietly changed the course of history?
Lin Xiaoguang didn't dare to think about it anymore, let alone sit still, he took two days off with the crew of "My Heart Flying", and at the invitation of Fei Qi, vice president of Huayi Brothers, he took a flight from the magic capital to the capital that afternoon.
Unlike Wang Zhonglei, who likes to show his face and show his aristocratic identity everywhere, Fei Qi is a man who is like a fan, very low-key in private, and rarely appears in front of the camera.
Before joining Huayi Brothers, Fei Qi once founded his own advertising agency and also had business dealings with Huayi Brothers.
After close contact, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei discovered Fei Qi's unique ability and decided to invite him to join.
From the advertising circle to the entertainment industry, Fei Qi can be regarded as playing a "crossover".
This time to meet Lin Xiaoguang, Fei Qi also wanted to recruit Lin Xiaoguang into his command, the contradiction between Sister Hua Wang Jinghua and Huayi's management became more and more intense, and now it seems that Wang Jinghua's departure from Huayi is imperative and inevitable, Huayi Company is about to usher in a major earthquake of personnel changes, and Huayi will fall apart and talents wither.
Capital.
The private club of the Chinese Club.
Tianzi box.
What caught Lin Xiaoguang's eye was a typical northern man, 1.86 meters tall and burly.
Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but be a little confused, can such a person who looks like five big and three rough be able to navigate the showbiz with ease?
Moreover, Fei Qi is a little different from Lin Xiaoguang's imagination of Gao Fushuai.
Obviously, Fei Qi is tall and mighty, but he has nothing to do with handsome characters, and even looks a little strange.
Of course, this is not the point, and Fei Qi did not eat with his face.
Seeing Lin Xiaoguang come in, Fei Qi stood up and shook hands with Lin Xiaoguang: "Xiaoguang, I expected you to come to me sooner or later." ”
Lin Xiaoguang asked, "Why?"
"Don't worry, let's sit down and talk while we drink. ”
Lin Xiaoguang said: "Mr. Fei, you Huayi are really a piece of Tang monk meat, we have something to say, you are a businessman, not a relief station, I want to know why you are interested in me, why do you have to let me come to the capital to see you?"
Fei Qi smiled and handed a cigarette to Lin Xiaoguang: "Xiaoguang, I didn't expect you to be quite sober-minded, this is your advantage, I like to deal with people like you, okay, let's make it clear, as far as I know, your contract with Hairun is about to expire, right?"
"That's right, but does it have anything to do with us?"
"Of course it matters, your refusal to renew the contract with Hairun in advance means that you are shaken in your heart and have the idea of leaving your old club, in the past few months, you have met a total of no less than ten agents in the circle, including three agents of our Huayi Brothers, including Sister Hua Wang Jinghua, am I right?"
Lin Xiaoguang said in surprise: "My God, you really look like a spy, even you know who I have met in the past few months, did you arrange a spy by my side?"
Fei Qi smiled: "I'm afraid that's the case, you have to know that a star like you who has become a sweet and sweet bait, no matter where you go, you will receive the attention of people with a heart, and not only people from film and television companies are interested in you, but also some people who are hiding in the shadows are also eyeing you." ”
Lin Xiaoguang was surprised by his words, but he had to admit that Fei Qi did have a point.
It seems that everything will have to be careful in the future.
Fei Qi smiled: "Do you understand? This reason is very simple, you should be a smart person, you can understand it at a glance." ”
To be honest, Lin Xiaoguang actually didn't understand it in his heart, but he still replied cheekily, "I understand." ”
"Xiaoguang, since you can understand what I mean, then I won't talk nonsense with you, there are many artists under me, it is impossible to take care of everyone's affairs, I can only look at the problem from the perspective of a businessman, let's be clear, I invited you to join Huayi Brothers because of your popularity and popularity, on the other hand, if you film under my team, I will also give you a rich return, and neither you nor I will suffer. ”
"Understood, we take what we need, and we owe no one anything. ”
"Let's be open and honest, don't hide it. ”
Lin Xiaoguang asked bluntly: "Okay, then I won't talk nonsense with you, since you want to sign me, what benefits are you going to give me?"
"What do you want?"
"I didn't have any other requirements, I just wanted to make "The Condor Heroes". ”
"I'm afraid this won't work, we Huayi have been trying our best to push Huang Xiaoming to win the play "Condor", there are too many people who want to play Yang Guo, why do you bother to follow this trip to the troubled waters. Fei Qi refused.
Lin Xiaoguang stood up: "Then even if we don't talk about anything, thank you." He turned to leave.
"Wait a minute, I want to ask, didn't you leave Hairun because you wanted to make a movie? Why do you suddenly have to play Yang Guo now?"
"Every actor has a role that must be played in his life, "The Condor Heroes" Yang Guo is the role I want to play the most in my life, if I can realize this dream, then I have not entered this circle in vain. ”
Fei Qi sighed: "Xiaoguang, although the entertainment industry is Vanity Fair, it is also a place that pays attention to human feelings, if you want to play Yang Guo, you are competing with Huang Xiaoming of the same company, you have to face not only Huang Xiaoming alone, but also the economic team behind him, even if I have the ability to help you win the role of Yang Guo, when will you repay your grievances, you may not be able to have smooth sailing in the future...... However, since you have this request, I think of a way. ”
