Chapter 22: Script Casting
In the evening, when Xu Yang was about to leave the Dream Bar, Shi Fei came over.
He didn't say anything, and dragged Xu Yang to the room where Zhang Wenchao recruited the staff to sign a contract with him.
In this contract, it not only reflects the three requirements mentioned by Xu Yang before, but also adds an additional clause, taking out 20% of the total income after the TV series is broadcast as Xu Yang's remuneration.
Seeing this, Xu Yang's good impression of this stone guide suddenly increased a lot.
Actually, Shi Fei's family is powerful and rich, but he has liked to be a director since he was a child, so he doesn't care too much about the income from a TV series, what he cares about is that he can make good works and spread his name as a director.
Since Shi Fei stepped into the directing industry, he has not let his family give him too much support, otherwise, he may have been famous a long time ago, and now, with Xu Yang's script, he believes that he will be able to make a hit.
Shi Fei is now 32 years old, and he is still relatively young in the director industry, but he is worth a lot, enough to have one or two hundred million, of course, this is all the income brought by the share dividends of the family industry, and outsiders generally don't know about this.
In order to be able to shoot Xu Yang's drama well, he took out 50 million yuan to be the crew.
When he knew the news, Xu Yang was dumbfounded, but in the end, he still admonished him that a good script is for making money, not for squandering, and in the end, at Xu Yang's insistence, the cost of the crew was reduced to 10 million.
This kind of investment is the lowest grade among the current idol dramas, but what Xu Yang wants to shoot is not those bubble dramas, but classic dramas, it doesn't matter if the actor is famous or not, the important thing is word of mouth.
After some discussion, Xu Yang suggested that he should recruit in the university, so that the effect under the mirror is much better than inviting those big names, after all, their scripts are campus life, and most of those famous actors are not suitable.
......
Back at the rental house, it was already early in the morning.
This time, Xu Yang walked directly to Yang Mu's bed and called him up, and Yang Mu, who was in a daze, saw that Xu Yang had returned, and shook himself awake, with an unhappy face.
Ignoring Yang Mu's expression, Xu Yang said directly: "Wood, give it, you look at this." ”
took what Xu Yang gave him, and when he read everything written on it, Yang Mu jumped up, pulled Xu Yang, opened his mouth wide, and said, "Ah Yang, is this true?"
"What do you say?"
After throwing a word, Xu Yang went to the bathroom to wash up.
"This, this, this is incredible, I can be an actor too. ”
What Xu Yang showed Yang Mu was the contract he signed with Shi Fei, which clearly read:
Screenplay "Eighteen-year-old Sky"
Director: Shi Fei
Producer: Shi Fei
Screenwriter: Xu Yang
Episodes: 23
Starring: Xu Yang (actor of Gu Yuetao)
Yang Mu (Gao Ziwen's actor)
Other actors: TBD.
Although this list is just a simple list, but, in it, Yang Mu has already seen his and Xu Yang's names, and then glanced at the contract with signatures and handprints, this has legal effect, he can really be an actor, Xu Yang is not a liar, at this moment, Yang Mu felt that he was dreaming.
......
Haishi University
This is an indoor stadium, which Shi Fei has temporarily loaned through his connections.
Regarding the choice of roles in the script, especially those student roles, Shi Fei finally agreed to Xu Yang's suggestion to choose in the university, and he thought about it himself, maybe the actors selected in this way can add more color to the plot.
Prior to this, Xu Yang had updated a message on his Weibo, "Youth TV series audition, interested friends can go to audition, address, Haishi University Indoor Stadium, Friday at 6 o'clock, see you or leave." ”
Today, Xu Yang's two songs "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" and "Rice Shop" have been broadcast more than 150,000 times on demand at one listening to the music, and are about to exceed 200,000 people, and the number of fans he has followed on Weibo has reached 28,714 people.
Although many people still don't know what the name of this TV series is, who the director is, and who the starring role is, there is such an opportunity to audition, and there is such an opportunity to meet their idols, many people are excited, and they want to meet this rookie singer who has not signed a contract with any company on Friday, to see what he looks like and can sing such a beautiful song.
What's more, I want to stand out in the audition and realize my silver screen dream and star dream.
By the time Xu Yang and Yang Mu arrived at Haishi University, Shi Fei and some of his helpers had already begun to prepare for the interview.
After seeing that the time was only 5 o'clock, Xu Yang asked Shi Fei to introduce him to those people he didn't know, and at this moment, Shi Fei remembered that Xu Yang was still a newcomer in the entertainment industry!
Shaking his somewhat confused head, Shi Fei began to introduce Xu Yang to the people around him.
Since he decided to shoot this TV series, Shi Fei also resigned from the previous Golden Dragon Film and Television Company, seeing him resign, the senior executives of Golden Dragon Film and Television who knew his identity did not keep him, and after that, he directly registered a film and television company with a registered capital of 100 million, the name of the company is very simple, directly called Shi Fei Film and Television Co., Ltd., he wants to let the world know the existence of a director like him through this company, and the drama that Xu Yang gave himself is the pioneering work of his company.
Shi Fei has a wide range of contacts, and the company's procedures will soon come down, and many of his friends know that he is now independent, and they also come to help him, so far, the company has just been established for a day, and there are more than a dozen employees, including scene reporters, editors, prop masters, makeup artists, costume artists, and his two music friends, and a few of them are helpers brought by themselves.
After everyone got to know each other, the talents of Shifei Film and Television Company knew that this young man was the screenwriter, and many of them also read the script written by Xu Yang, which was really good, and the plot was also unique.
They are all looking forward to whether the spring that belongs to Shi Fei Film and Television will start in this first shot.
While they were chatting, the time gradually came to 6 o'clock.
This time, Shi Fei only divided into 2 rounds of auditions, the first round, the two music masters of his company and the makeup artist served as the selection teachers, the script filmed this time is a campus drama, as long as the appearance is enough, you can pass the first round of interviews, and the usual work of these three people is related to their appearance and demeanor, with them, there must be no problem.
In the second round, Shi Fei himself and Xu Yang interviewed two people, one of them is a director and the other is a screenwriter, I believe that through their eyes, suitable actors will definitely be selected.
