Chapter 150: Fighting for Roles
Since it is a dinner party, it is natural that there is something to discuss. After all, everyone is so busy, and no one has time to invite people to dinner and chat all day.
The news of Zhang Fan's company's preparation of a TV series is not a secret, and this news has already spread throughout the industry.
Many people don't want to see Zhang Fan, a fierce beast with a mouth full of oil that has been eaten in the variety show industry and the music industry, enter the film and television industry, and many people have spontaneously boycotted. In other aspects, they are not good at making moves, but they can still do it by putting pressure on those famous actors to prevent them from participating in Zhang Fan's crew.
If today's film and television dramas want to have good results, in addition to really excellent works, the biggest reliance is on those famous big-name actors. Or the very popular little fresh meats. These people are the guarantee of ratings, even if the plot is bad, there will be people who like these actors to watch.
The forces to resist Zhang Fan in all aspects are still very strong. And those actors either think that Zhang Fan has not proven himself in the film and television industry, and there has never been a successful precedent for a TV series adapted from a game, and they are reluctant to come. Either it was a sky-high remuneration fee and many conditions that made Zhang Fan laugh when he heard it.
Just like Chen Guozhong once wanted to invite a little fresh meat who has recently become very famous to play a role, and the tentative 34-episode TV series dared to ask for a remuneration of 2 million per episode!
It's just a supporting role, and he didn't even appear in all the episodes but dared to ask for this sky-high price. And it is also required that you must not work overtime, and you must live in a five-star hotel and go out by luxury car.
Zhang Fan, who listened to these requests, couldn't stop laughing, and this was not the end. The agent of Xiao Xianrou actually said that this was a preferential price given on Zhang Fan's face, and hoped that Zhang Fan would be able to release an album for Xiao Xianrou in the future!
For these, Zhang Fan didn't have the heart to complain at all. Just delete the contact information.
Little fresh meat does have appeal, and many boys and girls like to watch their faces appear on TV screens. It's just that Zhang Fan's works don't need these faces to pull the audience.
If this is the case, there is no need for him to spend a lot of points to buy a work like The Legend of Sword and Fairy. Just find the little fresh meat and pat it casually. Anyway, if you like to watch them, you don't care about the plot, you just look at those faces.
However, not everyone in the circle is unwilling to cooperate with Zhang Fan. Today, this is one of them.
"Sorry, I'm late. After all the dishes on the wine table were ready, a girl with a goose egg face, bright eyes, fair complexion, long hair and shawl, and a pair of eyebrows slanted towards her temples walked in with a rare handsome girl.
Tang Yumo, a film and television star in this world. is also the main person looking for Zhang Fan today.
"Hello Mr. Zhang. Tang Yumo, who was down-and-out, smiled and stretched out his hand to Zhang Fan, "I'm very sorry, something has been delayed." ”
"Being late is a beauty's right. Zhang Fan didn't have anything to worry about, so he shook hands with a smile.
"Haha~~ Everyone sit down and say, sit down and say. Eat something first, and you can talk about anything. As the middleman, Mr. Qian smiled and beckoned the two to sit down.
"Miss Tang has filmed several advertisements for our company. It's also a bit of a friendship. After some greetings, Mr. Qian began to introduce Tang Yumo, "Miss Tang is a child star and has made movies very early. Later, he went to the film academy for further study, and now he is a first-class star in China. ”
"The money is always overpaid. Tang Yumo is obviously the kind of character who has been immersed in the circle for a long time, and he is very experienced in receiving people and things. Even if he asked Zhang Fan for it, he definitely didn't show it directly. Gentle and smiling, the lively atmosphere makes the feeling in the box very warm.
Tang Yumo is indeed a child star as Mr. Qian said, and has shot a lot of works. However, if you want to say that it is a big star, it can only be regarded as a second-tier. Moreover, because she has been studying at film school recently, her reputation has not been as good as before.
This circle is always like this, countless newcomers are constantly emerging like a tide and then slapping those predecessors to death on the beach layer by layer. It doesn't even take long, and if there is no news, it will soon be forgotten by the public. In this regard, the public has always been cruel.
Tang Yumo, who has been a child star since he was a child, naturally sees these very clearly. But she also knows that gilding in the film and television academy is extremely important for the long-term development in the future. A diploma represents almost two completely different worlds of television.
can't have it both ways, Tang Yumo, who is very ambitious, still resolutely chose to temporarily extinguish the shadow and gild.
Now, she's nearing the end of her course. It's just that the fame accumulated in the early years has continued to pass with this time. She recently contacted several promising crews, but they all met ambiguous replies.
Tang Yumo, who has been immersed in this line for many years, instantly understood what was going on. Her fame and popularity slipped faster than she had imagined.
In order to change this situation, Tang Yumo quickly began to look for an opportunity to turn over.
The unreliable crew is naturally not eye-catching, and the fame has already declined, and it is simply irresponsible for one's career to go to an unreliable crew. After all, after being in this industry for so many years, what crew is unreliable, she still has this bit of eyesight.
However, the reliable crew has already been occupied, and she can't find a chance at all.
Tang Yumo, who knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more forgotten he would be, was a little anxious, until Zhang Fan's crew went to the Film and Television Academy to recruit people.
No one who can survive in the entertainment industry is a fool. On the contrary, they are all human spirits. Because fools in this circle have long been eaten and wiped clean by even the belts and bones.
Zhang Fan is the first time to produce a film and television drama, but he is different from those crews who are completely leather companies, and the works they make don't even have a chance to appear on the screen. Zhang Fan has a very strong strength.
This circle is very chaotic, but in the final analysis, when it comes to the root of the problem, it is still about strength, that is, to see who has money.
As long as there is enough money, there is hardly anything in this circle that cannot be solved.
And Zhang Fan is very rich, and the wealth he earns from his show is so popular that it is simply massive. And every album released is a big hit, and the company's assets are hundreds of millions. The works of such a company entering the film and television industry naturally have a guarantee of success.
Therefore, Tang Yumo set his sights on Zhang Fan's crew.
Such a crew will definitely not fail even if it can't be a big success!
As for the pressure on Zhang Fan from all sides, this kind of thing is of no use to Tang Yumo at all. She is now seeing that she is about to decline, and she doesn't even have the opportunity to film, how can she care about those people's resistance to Zhang Fan?! If she can't even tell this kind of priority, then she has really spent all these years in vain.
In terms of her fame and identity, she must be the heroine when she enters the crew. But no one can take this important role except Zhang Fan. Therefore, Tang Yumo asked Zhang Fan out for dinner through Mr. Qian, for the sake of the role.
"Miss Tang, I don't know if there is anything you can help with coming to me this time?" After three rounds, Zhang Fan began to turn the topic to the topic. He didn't have much time to spend at the wine table.
Tang Yumo, who was wearing a red women's shirt and slim jeans, brushed his hair and looked very sassy, "Mr. Zhang, I heard that your company is preparing to shoot a TV series adapted from a game. I was very interested in one of the characters and wanted to join the crew. ”
"Oh~" Zhang Fan suddenly raised his chin, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
From the time Tang Yumo came in, Zhang Fan felt as if something was wrong, a little awkward. Now after hearing Tang Yumo's words, I finally understood. It turned out that what Tang Yumo wanted was Lin Yueru's role!
Chivalrous and soft-hearted, graceful as jade. Cheerful and heroic. Since entering the door, Tang Yumo has had such a feeling. This is true both in terms of clothing and dress, in words and in character. She's been doing interviews since she walked through the door!
Zhang Fan's inference is not wrong, Tang Yumo, who has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, did come with a target.
Zhang Fan's crew is adapted from the Legend of Sword and Fairy in the treasure island game, and there are no secrets in the script. After all, no matter how much it is adapted, it will not deviate from the big framework, just like the two heroines Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru. After Tang Yumo decided to join Zhang Fan's crew, he had already studied the general content of this game very well.
In fact, Tang Yumo's preferred role is Zhao Ling'er, because with her many years of vision in the industry, it can be seen that Zhao Ling'er, who died in the end, will inevitably get far more attention than Lin Yueru. After all, the dead must be remembered more than the living.
It's just that Tang Yumo knows that Zhao Ling'er's role has already been taken by Lin Yueqing, the latest newcomer, and it is something that Zhang Fan personally decides. This kind of thing is normal in the circle, and Tang Yumo also knew that there was no possibility of competition, so he had to retreat to the second best thing and wanted to win Lin Yueru's role.
Tang Yumo, who was born as a child star, knows a lot of things. After making up her mind, the whole person's dress and temperament were biased towards Lin Yueru. This will leave a deep impression on Zhang Fan when they meet for the first time.
I have to say that a lot of the time experience is really useful. Tang Yumo is only in his early twenties, but he was a child star when he was very young, and his experience in this industry for so many years can play an effective role in many cases.
Zhang Fan really felt that Tang Yumo and Lin Yueru's image were very consistent, and so was his temperament. Even the deliberately groomed eyebrows that slanted into the temples are the same.
"Miss Tang can go for an interview. Zhang Fan was silent for a moment and finally spoke: "If you pass the interview, you can say anything." ”
Zhang Fan made it clear that he is not familiar with film and television now. Therefore, any role needs to be interviewed by a professional. He doesn't risk the company's investment because of his feelings.
Although I feel that Tang Yumo and Lin Yueru's role are very compatible, Zhang Fan will not make any promises until the professionals hired by the high-tech give a final conclusion.
Zhang Fan did not make a clear statement, but it stimulated Tang Yumo.
This star, who was unwilling to be submerged on the beach, was really anxious after hearing Zhang Fan's evasive words. Almost subconsciously, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Fan's wrist!
