Chapter 127 Casting turmoil
Deng Zheng actually doesn't quite understand where this surging upsurge of bullishness comes from.
It stands to reason that even if there is no Qing history of the Republic of China in this world, there have never been famous female chivalrous warriors such as Shi Jianqiao, "Heroine of Jianhu", Qiu Jin, etc., but in ancient times, there were still red lines, red whisk girls, and Nie Yinniang!
Or is it because the times are too long?
He wasn't interested in that, though.
Even the three screenwriters who participated in the creation were a little angry, and Jian yì slightly disclosed some highlights of the play to the outside world, so that those guys who were all in the cloud shut up, and he was also sternly stopped.
He and Xu Tao have the same opinion, and feel that the current situation is actually very beneficial to the newly kneaded company team.
When there are common difficulties to face externally, it is often easy to form hostility internally, and it is easier to twist into a rope.
In addition, because all aspects of the work of the entire studio are basically in the form of contracts, he also took the time to form a new legal team.
Now the director of the legal department is a young talent named Qian Shihao. Born in a prestigious school, he has worked in two of the world's top three law firms.
The person was introduced by Gu Weiyuan, and it seems that he is a little related to him.
Deng Zheng has always believed in being virtuous and does not avoid relatives, so he is not taboo about these, and at first glance, he saw this Qian Shihao, who has a strong academic atmosphere and a burly figure, and his impression was very good. In front of Gu Weiyuan, after flipping through his resume, he asked: "Do you read martial arts novels?"
Gu Weiyuan's face froze, and he kept making his eyes, and saw that Qian Shihao raised his gold-rimmed glasses, not giving him face at all, and was very decisive: "Don't look at it." β
Gu Weiyuan held his forehead with his hand, completely speechless.
Deng Zheng nodded: "Why don't you watch it?"
Qian Shihao didn't say much: "The people in the book are too presumptuous. β
Gu Weiyuan's face twitched, but Deng Zheng was very satisfied, got up with a smile, and shook hands with Qian Weihao: "Very good." Brother Qian, it's you. β
This Qian Shihao is really a resolute person, and he quickly entered the state, and with the legal department, in just one week, he sorted out the relevant contracts, procedures, qualifications, etc. in the entire "Chivalrous Master" studio, and found and rectified more than 30 problems. Moreover, with lightning speed, it quickly solved several redundant contracts left over from the "Little Bird Culture" and some of them were too big to be lost.
The script of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" was revised until November, and it was not tentatively finalized.
This drama is actually not as declining as the outside world sees, and there is no TV station to contact it.
In fact, with Deng Zheng's excellent signboard, he wrote two masterpieces of martial arts novels, created three martial arts theme songs, and all of them were recorded in the "Chinese Classics" channel, and the only martial arts drama he starred in was also a quasi-divine drama with a difference of 5. Since the news came out, several TV stations have come to the door to have in-depth contacts, and the bids are not expensive.
It's just that Deng Zheng doesn't agree.
From the beginning of writing the script, he set 32 episodes of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch". finally had the opportunity to independently produce martial arts dramas, of course, he had to put quality first. Therefore, for the length of the episodes required by these TV stations to be more than 40 episodes, and the TV stations for the male and female protagonists retain the right to speak, they are naturally unwilling to compromise and accept.
Among all the TV stations, there was no finger pointing at them from beginning to end, and the only one who showed enough sincerity and respect was Nanguo Satellite TV, which had a happy cooperation before.
Nanguo Satellite TV only put forward a condition that is not a condition: as long as this drama is starring Mr. Jin Liang, it is willing to add an additional 10 million purchase fees.
Although Deng Zheng felt a little proud of this, of course he would not play it again. The audience's impression of the martial arts actor was completely blank before, he could try it with a plug-in, fortunately, the effect was not bad, but if he got it again, he would definitely be able to help him. Moreover, he himself is really not interested in the role of Zhuo Yihang.
At the beginning of the creation of "The Great Hero", there were three screenwriters and two directors signed under it, but there was no actor.
Therefore, casting has become a very real problem.
Fan Jia was the first to call and ask Deng Zheng about the role, and Deng Zheng told her very bluntly that she was not suitable for this role. Later, there were people who knew each other one after another to inquire about their intentions, and even Lin Xiaolu called over with hesitation and half-truths, and was lectured by Deng Zheng for a few words, sing your song first!
Later, Xu Tao came forward to organize and carried out a half-month audition casting for the ten main roles in the play.
There are many applicants. Because no matter what the outside wind is and how downward, a 32-episode TV series that costs 40 million is still worth looking forward to.
Ten days later, in addition to the male and female protagonists, the other main roles have been selected, and the heroine is only the last two candidates to be determined: Li Jin, an old acquaintance, and Mu Yinger, who belongs to the same "Four Little Flowers" as Fan Jia.
It stands to reason that these two candidates are not on the same level.
Although Li Jin has accumulated a lot of popularity because of the mirror of the stage, he is barely second-line, and Mu Ying'er, who is half the same as Fan Jia.
And in terms of acting experience, since her debut, Mu Ying has played the heroine in five or six TV series, and she has very rich experience, while Li Jin has never had the experience of a heroine.
Mu Yinger herself is also very confident in this, and she looks like she is nine out of ten.
Deng Zheng and Jiang Zhipeng thought so at first. But after the last few rounds of auditions, he became more and more optimistic about Li Jin.
is not only because everyone is familiar with each other, but most importantly, I slowly discovered that Li Jin seems to be really suitable for practicing neon clothes. She was born delicate and beautiful, otherwise she would not have been chosen to play the beautiful stage Jingming with roses, and she is confident, direct, bold and hearty, with a chivalrous demeanor in her gestures, with a little carving, it is like an ideal version of Lian Ni Dress.
In the end, after much consideration, Deng Zheng made a decision to play Li Jin.
On the day the results were announced, Mu Yinger's agent was so angry that he dropped the phone after receiving a call from Xu Tao. She couldn't understand that because she was interested, her artist lowered her price to act in a martial arts drama that was not favored by everyone, and she actually lost to a third-tier newcomer, which was simply a humiliation for Chi Guoguo!
"You sue sΓΉ Jin Liang, mix in this circle, one yard to one yard. He does it like this, he can't do it for a long time! Hmph, because of personal grudges, the 40 million drama, the heroine dares to choose a small third line! The male protagonist, is it time to invite Guo Jiuxian?!"
Deng Zheng heard Xu Tao's retelling, and was a little puzzled, why did he have a personal grudge, and when he asked, he realized that this Mu Yinger, like that Du Yun, is an artist under "Hanhai Entertainment". I can't help but smile bitterly, good guy, this beam seems to be getting deeper and deeper.
"By the way, who is that Guo Jiuxian that this shrew is talking about?" R1152
