104. The First War Outside the Village
At the beginning of April, Hawke took two days off to return to the company after the crew transfer.
"How does it feel in the crew during this time?" After not seeing each other for a long time, Fang Zheng showed his tiredness for the first time.
"It's all okay, the director and staff take good care of me, and the leading actors, Brother Wu and Angkor, they also remind me from time to time and ask me to have some acting skills. β
Fang Zheng rubbed his temples, trying to clear himself up.
"Brother Zheng, why don't you go to rest first, just let Xiao Lu talk to me about other things. Hawke saw that Fang Zheng's face was not good, and looked at the assistant standing aside and asked.
Little Lou's eyes bloomed with an unconcealable brilliance when he heard Hawke say this.
Unfortunately, before he could speak, Fang Zheng took the report book in his hand.
"Yang Shanshan is coming over in the afternoon, you go and sort out the information and bring it to me at noon." Fang Zheng sent Xiao Lu out and said to Hawke, "There have been a lot of things lately, just be busy with this time." β
Without waiting for Hawke to respond, Founder began to tell Hawke one thing after another.
"The starring role in "Star Girl" has not yet been discussed. β
Hawke remembers that the negotiations had been going on for more than two months, and that the second quarter of May would be over, and if the contract was not signed in June, it would probably be cool.
"What are their conditions?" Hawke is too lazy to ask such a basic question as "why", "Or, what do I need to do to get the starring role?"
A drama with nearly 10 million viewers and the only drama on Shanghai Satellite TV aimed at young audiences is crucial to Hawke's popularity bonus today.
For a newcomer in the film and television industry, the probability of winning the starring role in idol dramas is far greater than that in other dramas, and he has been resident for nearly a season in "Xingwen Girl", which is the most likely.
"In fact, both the crew and the producer are very optimistic about your joining, and the company is also aiming to win the starring role, and the requirements for salary can be said to be very low. "Maybe it's not in a good state, Fang Zheng's words are a little wordy today.
"But," Hawke answered, asking for the point.
"The initial condition of the crew was to let you and Zhai Xuan have a relationship, but this conflicts with your current positioning, which will greatly affect your fans, so the company refused. Fang Zheng looked at Hawke and smiled, looking at him a little hairy.
Hawke didn't tell Fang Zheng about his **, did he find out?
Fang Zheng coughed and continued: "Since the relationship can't be successful, the crew hopes that you will give full play to your talents, write a few more episodes, and reach a consensus after discussing with the Emperor Yin." β
Similar to Hawke's prediction, the scandal must be made up with other commercial value if it does not make achievements.
""Xingwen Girl" is positioned as a fashion drama, and a large number of costumes and props in it come from the endorsements of the leading actors, which is our weak link, and we can only make up for it with songs. β
Hawke nodded, the endorsement aspect is indeed his flaw, he is not qualified to win high-end endorsements after a year and a half of debut, and the collective endorsements of Menglong such as mobile games and potato chips are not enough.
"Brother Zheng, what you just said has actually reached a consensus through negotiations, right?
Speaking of which, even if Fang Zheng doesn't say that Hawke himself has a score.
His joining will undoubtedly create more value for "Star Girl", and those who stand in his way will inevitably suffer because of his joining.
"Zhang Wenjun, right?" asked Hawke with a confident tone, Fang Zheng nodded slightly.
"The ten episodes you made cameos in were separated and combined with Zhai Xuan's side, and you became confidants with Tang Shiying again, and even detonated the contradiction between the two heroines in the episode broadcast in January, which greatly compressed the development space of Zhang Wenjun and Zhai Xuan's emotional line. Fang Zheng rested for a while and his state improved, and continued, "If you are just a resident, you can write a reason to quit casually, if you become the leading actor, Zhang Wenjun and you will be your life and death." β
Zhang Wenjun's starring contract with the crew is signed for three years, and the contract guarantees that he must appear for more than eight minutes in each episode, and Hawke's addition will inevitably cause great trouble to the plot arrangement.
In the final analysis, he is not good enough to let the crew change the entire main line for him alone.
"What did Brother Xiao do at the time? He was only a resident since the first season. β
Since Yang Xiao was able to win the starring role at that time and change the main plot line, Hawke felt that he also had this possibility.
"Yang Xiao's situation is different from yours. Fang Zheng explained, "One was that there were three leading actors at that time, two women and one man, and one person must be vacant, and he took advantage of the audience's enthusiasm to chase the drama and pushed the boat to the top." β
Fang Zheng leaned forward, thought for a while, and said: "Second, even if Yang Xiao failed to enter the film industry, he still won the emperor, and his becoming the leading actor was a huge publicity point for the almost new crew of "Xingwen Girl" at that time. β
Hawke's difficulty now wanting to squeeze into the starring role is geometrically higher than that of Yang Xiao.
First, the relationship between the characters in the play tends to be stable, and secondly, Hawke has no personal awards.
Thinking of this, Hawke's eyes lit up.
"According to Brother Zheng, if I want to become the leading actor, I must let the crew see the potential and see a potential that can surpass Zhang Wenjun. Hawke glanced at the thin report book in front of him and said, "So what is the company's strategy?"
Fang Zheng had a "teachable" expression on his face, and sighed: "It's much easier to talk to you than to talk to He Feng, that is an elm head." β
Taking the report handed by Fangzheng, Hawke opened the first page, and a paragraph of incomparable bold characters came into view.
γThe First War Outside the Villageγ
The title was written by Xiaoli. Fang Zheng explained helplessly.
Xiaoli is also Fangzheng's assistant, and Hawke's impression of her is that at the end of last year, she reported to him with a dark circle that Zhai Xuan and Tang Shiying were competing for the New Year's Eve concert vote.
Xiaoli seems to mention what she is "Xuansheng Party".
Skipping the title, I turned to the second page to read the contents, but fortunately the title was a little speechless.
In the plan, the idol circle where Hawke was born is defined as "village", and "outside the village" refers to the entertainment industry in a broad sense.
Fang Zheng closed his eyes and rested, leaving Hawke enough time to read the plan.
Five minutes later, Hawke closed the planner thoughtfully.
"So the current plan is for me to win the Most Popular Male Role at the Teen Choice Awards, and to beat Zhang Wenjun head-on to raise the bargaining chips. Hawke frowned and asked, "I can understand this, but what do you mean by the latter words, what do you mean by 'relying on personal strength'?"
"It's literal. Fang Zheng explained, ""Star Girl" wants to see your real popularity, and I don't want the company to end. β
"What about Zhang Wenjun's side? He won't pay out of his own pocket or let the company fill the ticket?"
Fang Zheng spread his hands and said: "We can't guarantee this, our company will not sit still, Mr. Zhao sent a message to give you an endorsement that originally belonged to Geng Jie, as long as you perform well in the vote, even if you don't win the award to become the leading actor, it is possible." β
The underlying meaning of this is that as long as you can win the award, the starring role is basically in the bag.
Although it was a bit difficult, Hawke had to give it a try.
If you want to vote, you must mobilize the power of fans and the people who eat melons, but this can't be said explicitly, and it's ridiculous and generous for the artist to go down to ask for a vote.
So in the afternoon of the same day, Hawke sent a scarf, with a picture of a glass cabinet in which there were championship trophies for several music platforms.
[When I returned from the filming break, I was full of motivation to move forward when I saw the gifts you gave me after I was tired. Let's cheer together in the new year!]
It was night, and in the [Hawker Main Running Group Station Management Group], a short voice was played repeatedly.
