Chapter 20 Casting
After the company was founded, Li Ming only occasionally went to class.
With his grades, it is impossible to fail the course, and he has already started his own business, so the credits are definitely not a problem.
Now that "Never Expected" has been online for a week, it has become very popular, whether it is Li Ming, XCMG, or Zhang Liang, they are all popular on the whole network.
Especially Zhang Liang's 'Wang Sledgehammer', he has laughed at countless people, his Weibo attention has risen by hundreds of thousands in a week, and the attention accumulated by his original shooting video on the plane, Zhang Liang's meager attention has also reached more than 1 million.
Xinghuo Technology Media, a newly established company, also took this opportunity to enter everyone's attention.
Even though "Wan Wan" is just a miniseries, it has been a huge success.
This week, Liang Guodong found two directors: Xie Yingjie and Wang Cheng.
The two are not well-known directors, but they have their own works and have been on the big screen, although the box office is hitting the street, but they still have strength.
Two directors, Xie Yingjie directed "Chainsaw", Wang Cheng directed "Love Apartment", both of them have read the specific script, and have signed a contract to join Xinghuo Company, as long as the crew is ready, they can start filming!
Those big-name directors will not cooperate with a small company like Xinghuo Technology Media!
The director has found it, and all that remains is to find the actors, which is more troublesome.
In order to save costs, the basic tartan chooses to use newcomers,
If you are looking for a new person, it is best to be able to open the mirror and choose the actors.
Xinghuo Company is not famous, and the two directors are not well-known directors, it is impossible to find big-name actors, and you can only find those who have just debuted, or people from film and television schools!
Li Ming, as a screenwriter, is also the owner of a production company, so he has to go.
Just this week, the production of the game "Temple Run" has entered the final stage, and after two more days of testing, it can be launched after confirming that there are no bugs.
But when the game is launched, you still need to find a channel!
In this era when the channel is king and the user is king, mastering the channel in your hand is mastering the entrance, and the channel business score is basically the lowest five or five points.
According to the words of Pang Hongwei and Cheng Jingguo in the game production department, it was even more terrifying in the past few years, and there were even channel merchants accounting for seventy percent, or even ninety percent.
The higher the turnover of the game, the higher the channel fee for land collection on the game platform!
In the past two years, major mobile phone manufacturing companies, unwilling to be hardware suppliers, have developed their own software download centers, and began to seize the software market, so that the proportion of channel providers has dropped a lot.
In addition, the production company has also opened the download on the official website to operate and promote it by itself.
This will be much slower, and this form has also become the first choice of many game companies, and now most users also like to download games from the official website.
It's safer that way!
Then there's the question of payment channels.
The cost and timeliness of the third-party payment channel are higher and slower than the payment of the four parties, and there is a limit to the amount of recharge, which may be no problem for many people, but what if you meet a local tyrant?
The fourth-party payment belongs to the payment service integrator, which has incomparable flexibility and convenience, but it also has risks, and it is necessary to choose a formal payment company
"What a hassle!"
Just listening to Cheng Jingguo and Pang Hongwei in the game department talk about these channel providers, Li Ming felt that his head was big, and the water in it was too deep.
"You can go to Peking to choose actors with peace of mind, and leave the problem of game channels to me!"
Liang Guodong waved his hand, signaling that Li Ming could leave with peace of mind, and he would take care of this matter.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you!"
Li Ming also knows his own catties, this kind of thing he is not good at, he will not force it to do, just leave it to a professional person to do.
"Jingguo, and Hongwei, this is the planning of the new game, when the game department recruits some people, make these small games, and accumulate some popularity for our company, and when the company is well-known, with our loyal users, we will launch a large-scale game!"
Li Ming handed over the game planning of "Angry Birds" and "Plants vs. Zombies" to Cheng Jingguo and Pang Hongwei and asked them to make these two mini-games.
Among them, "Plants vs. Zombies" can be produced together as a mobile game and a terminal game, and many levels are required, so the original game development department may not have enough people and needs to recruit people.
"It seems that it is time to launch the backstory of League of Legends, accumulate users for future League ......of Legends games, and make money faster!
If you want to launch "League of Legends", there are still too many shortcomings, first of all, the problem of promotion and login!
It's a bit not enough to rely on Weibo to promote it, although Li Ming's meager also has 8 million followers, it's still not enough to watch!
The second is the login problem, with Qianxun Group's ball ball login?
If Qianxun wants to acquire Xinghuo Technology Media, Li Ming will definitely not only should, but what should Qianxun Group do when the login authorization is directly canceled?
The market value of people is trillions, and it's OK to lose some money, but what if you kill this game?
Therefore, Li Ming needs to think about the problem of logging in to the game, and it is best to have a group of users of his own!
However, if you want to accumulate your own users, Xinghuo Technology Media is not strong enough, and the company does not have a good product to attract users, and the popularity is not high enough!
Whether it's loyal users, or company reputation and reputation, it takes time to accumulate.
That's why Li Ming asked the company's game development department to develop several games with a good reputation and accumulate popularity and reputation;
"Chainsaw" and "Love Apartment", which were released and broadcast in the future, were all to expand the company's popularity and accumulate some fans and word of mouth.
And then there's ...... Lottery!Lottery!Lottery!!!
Let's see if we can draw something good!
……
Beiping Nortel.
Li Ming and two directors, Xie Yingjie and Wang Cheng, are looking at the mirror openly and recruiting actors here.
This kind of thing is still the first time for Li Ming to know common sense, but Xie Yingjie and Wang Cheng are obviously not the first time, they are very experienced in this area, and this time the mirror is what they prepared.
The two of them choose their own actors, as long as Li Ming thinks it's okay, it's OK!
Whether it is Xie Yingjie or Wang Cheng, they all know that the young man who came with them this time is the boss of the company, and he is also the screenwriter and investor of the scripts of "Chainsaw" and "Love Apartment".
Whether an actor can do it or not, in fact, it is his words!
Many of the people who came to the mirror were arranged by the agency, and some were students and other actors who came by themselves.
Li Ming has announced on Weibo that the company is preparing a movie and TV series, and openly recruits actors in the mirror, as long as you have the strength, you can come to participate in the mirror.
What type of movie and TV series it is, it has not been revealed, but it has also attracted the attention of some people, and it is a script written by Li Ming himself.
No matter how you say it, there are also "A Bite of the Tongue" and "Wan Wan" as the foundation, and the movie scripts and TV scripts written by Li Ming this time are also expected, and most of them think that it will be a comedy.
But in fact...... "Love Apartment" is barely a one-step comedy TV series, and "Saw Horror" and comedy are not compatible at all.
"Three teachers, my name is Meng Mingde...... I'm a junior from Nortel's performance department, and I've starred in ......"
Li Ming didn't announce the role of the mirror at all, and the people who came to see the mirror basically talked about their resumes first, and then performed according to the requirements of the two directors.
Li Ming watched from the side and did not speak.
It's the first time I've seen someone perform like this, and I feel very strange, not to mention anything else, if I let him perform like this for a while, I will definitely be embarrassed to death.
This Meng Mingde is still very powerful, and he quickly sorted out his emotions and showed a paragraph according to the director's requirements: After waking up, he found that his feet were tied to a water pipe and he was trapped in a secret room, and he was free to play......
This is a scene from Saw Horror.
After that, Li Ming found that there were far more people who came to watch the mirror movie than the TV series.
Everyone will perform according to the requirements, first watching the mirror movie, and if they are not selected, then watching the mirror TV series.
There are still a lot of characters in the TV series, but unfortunately there are actually only a few protagonists in "Love Apartment", and the others ...... Pure passers-by!
After doing it for a day, watching the people who came to see the mirror perform, Li Ming felt quite interesting, but he felt bored in the back and wanted to sleep.
"Do you have any promising actors?"
After the day's sight glasses were completed, when he was having dinner at the hotel, Li Ming asked the two directors, Xie Yingjie and Wang Cheng.
Li Ming doesn't understand this kind of thing very well, and he won't mess with actors.
First of all, the two directors must be able to see it, and then he will give his own opinion, and it will be better to decide who to choose.
Xie Yingjie said: "There are a few candidates for the two leading actors on my side, after all, they must have too high acting skills, I see that this movie obviously has a follow-up, and the "corpse" that got up from the ground is the follow-up starring." But in the first part, this person only has the last few shots, and it doesn't matter if he has acting skills or not, but in the case of a sequel, he may have higher requirements for acting skills, right?"
