Chapter 169: Audition for the New Drama
Regarding the relocation of Wenbin Studio, not many people naturally know about it. When Lu Wenbin returned to the imperial capital from Mingzhu's trip and announced that he would relocate the studio to Mingzhu, the staff of the studio felt a little surprised.
It's just that when they learned that after the studio moved to Pearl, it would be transformed into an entertainment company, and these employees also knew that they would become the veterans of the new entertainment company in the future. This is really important.
Although many staff members have connections in the imperial capital, since Lu Wenbin has decided to relocate, it is naturally difficult for them to refuse. If they don't want to relocate with the studio, they have no choice but to quit.
But now in the studio, all the work is going smoothly, and every staff member can find what they can do here. Even if they want to quit their jobs in the future, they must accumulate more work experience.
After all, many of the staff who join the studio have little prior work experience. It is undoubtedly more difficult to quit your job and find a job with a professional counterpart. What's more, Lu Wenbin's salary is not low.
Another reason for returning to the imperial capital so quickly was that Lu Wenbin still had some things that he needed to deal with personally. The project, which was originally planned to start later, now seems to have to be filmed in advance.
Now that the acquisition of the video company has been completed, Lu Wenbin also hopes to increase the popularity of the video company and the brand as soon as possible. For him, this video company and the upcoming entertainment company are his career!
After returning to the imperial capital, Lu Wenbin prepared some materials and called the office of the director of the External Relations Division of the Imperial Film Academy again. This time, he plans to sign some potential actors from the Imperial Film Academy again.
After receiving a call from Lu Wenbin, Sun Weimin, director of the External Relations Division, was also very happy and said: "It's a good thing! However, are you sure you are busy with two dramas at once?
"This new drama didn't cost much money, and many shots were shot indoors. followed Senior Lu to shoot two dramas, and I also plan to try directing this drama. How about reporting back to the academy when I get to the academy?"
"Yes, then I'll wait for you here at the academy!"
When Lu Wenbin was ready to leave, looking at Liu Ying, who had returned to the studio after the scene, Lu Wenbin also said in a timely manner: "Yingbao, come with me to the Imperial Film Academy, and help me try out the film together." ”
"Ahh
"What's not to do? You came over as my assistant this time, and it's normal to help screen the actors! This is an in-house self-made drama, and I have the final say on everything. What's more, it is also very necessary for you to get acquainted with them more. ”
"Okay then! But, boss, can you stop calling me Yingbao! I'm twenty-three, and I'm still called Bao, I'm too tired, right?"
"What? Don't you think the nickname I chose for you is not good? I think it's good! In the future, you will be Yingbao in the hearts of fans, I will shout first, and it will naturally spread out. Wouldn't that make it more intimate?
Also, don't always remember your age, for fear that others won't know how old you are? With the way you are now, it is estimated that some people will believe you when you say that you are eighteen or nineteen years old. Anyway, in the future, you will also be a star!"
Giving Liu Ying the nickname 'Yingbao' is more of Lu Wenbin's bad taste. In his opinion, this girl is indeed very similar to that Ying Bao in another time and space. That being the case, what's wrong with giving her this nickname?
It's not appropriate to always call her full name, and it's even more inappropriate to call Xiaoying. After some consideration, Lu Wenbin finally felt that it was more cute to call her Yingbao. But for this nickname, Liu Ying felt a little too numb.
When Lu Wenbin arrived at the Diying Academy with Liu Ying, when he saw Liu Ying who came with Lu Wenbin, Sun Weimin was also very surprised: "Xiaoying, why are you here too?"
"I'm the boss's assistant today, and I'm brought in as a coolie!"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Weimin also smiled and said: "I think this kind of coolie is difficult for many people to find with lanterns!
"Well, the characters don't have a lot of weight, only a few shots, and they call it a day after filming. So, now I can only continue to work as an assistant to the boss. Otherwise, the boss will deduct the salary!"
"Well, that's a good idea! In view of your slander against your boss like this, I have decided to deduct half a month's salary from you!"
"Ahh
Because of He Youlan's relationship, Sun Weimin naturally knew Liu Ying and knew that this girl was also introduced to Lu Wenbin by his wife. And Lu Wenbin seems to attach great importance to Liu Ying, and he is already planning to take over the roles for her one after another.
Seeing that Lu Wenbin seemed to really take care of Liu Ying, Sun Weimin also felt that this was Liu Ying's luck. As a non-professional actor, if you want to make a name for yourself in this film and television industry, it is unlikely that no one will be able to realize your dream.
After sitting down in Sun Weimin's office, Lu Wenbin also said in a timely manner: "This time, I plan to choose five actors from the academy." The next drama to start filming should have seven heavier roles.
For two of these roles, I've found the right fit. For the remaining five, I plan to screen the interviews from the students from the previous interview, so I will not make a big splash about the audition. So, wait a minute, and ask Brother Sun to help arrange it. ”
"Five roles, do you have any favorites?"
"There are some! But in the end, it depends on the outcome of their interview. In addition, this drama is going to be filmed in Mingzhu, and the price I give will not be too high to shoot this drama.
On top of that, it's a series, and if the launch is well received, I'm going to shoot one season a year. Therefore, the selected students also need to sign an acting contract with the company for no less than five years. ”
After handing the remaining five character requirements of 'Love Apartment' to Sun Weimin, Sun Weimin looked at the outline of the script and said with a little surprise: "Is this style similar to who is in charge of my youth?"
"No! In this drama, many shots will be shot indoors. The main target audience is also the market for young people. But I believe that as long as they play this play well, it should be easy to become famous.
And in the early stage of this play, I will pre-broadcast it online. Some time ago, I just acquired a web company. The company will launch some activities in the future, and I hope that the college will also support it!"
After talking about the upcoming micro-film support plan of 'Qiyi' video, Sun Weimin also smiled and said: "This is a good thing! Nowadays, many students want to make their own work before graduation."
If you can provide such a platform and share the benefits with them, I believe that those students will actively participate. In this matter, you can send a document to me when the time comes, and I will greet the heads of the departments. ”
"Okay, then thank you Brother Sun!"
In order to spend as little time as possible and do more things, after chatting with Sun Weimin for a while, Lu Wenbin also said in a timely manner after walking out of the office: "Yingbao, call Cheng Xin and ask her if she has time now!"
"Okay, would you like her to join her?"
She is already a contracted artist of the company, and the character script has already been sent to her. Calling her over is also to ask her to accompany her to screen the students who participated in the audition. After all, you should be filming together a lot in the future!"
In Lu Wenbin's view, the TV series "Love Apartment" is undoubtedly a classic urban drama in another time and space. Many young people are loyal fans of this drama. The number of hits on the Internet is even more surprisingly high.
Although filming a sticky note for some artists will increase the burden on the company to some extent. But in Lu Wenbin's view, his entertainment company is newly created, and it can't attract some big-name artists to join for the time being, so he can only focus on making stars himself.
If a group of successful young actors can be packaged, Lu Wenbin believes that the company's fame will also be rapidly improved. And the artists promoted, Lu Wenbin believes that others will not be able to poach them in a short time.
Accompanied by Sun Weimin's phone call with the class instructors of the performance department, and learned that Lu Wenbin came to the college to select people again, these class guides naturally felt very happy. The previous 'Who Calls the Shots of My Youth' was a great success, which made many students very envious.
Therefore, the students who were invited by Lu Wenbin to audition were still very excited after receiving a call from their class director. After all, having a chance to audition shows that Lu Wenbin still noticed them when they auditioned last time!
When Lu Wenbin took Liu Ying to the audition room prepared by the acting department. Looking at the students and teachers who had already gathered there, Lu Wenbin also looked a little crying and laughing. Looking at it like this, it is estimated that the news will soon spread throughout the academy again.
Looking at the welcoming expression of the director of the acting department, Lu Wenbin could only step forward and say, "Director Lu, this battle is too big! Whether they can pass the test depends on their interview results.
Because the preparation time of the crew is relatively short, I can't interview one by one. Therefore, this audition can only be conducted internally, please forgive Director Lu for this!"
Director Lu, who just listened to this, also smiled and said, "It's okay, these students are too eager for the opportunity to appear on camera." I listened to Director Sun's opinion that this drama is mainly a play for young people. Extras with lines should be needed, right?"
"This is needed! It's just that this drama will go to Mingzhu to shoot on the scene. Therefore, if you are a group performer, I am afraid that it will be too troublesome. ”
"Why do you want to go to the Pearl side to shoot the scene?
"Here's the case! I need to shoot some seaside shots, and I'm already planning to move my studio to the Pearl. Because on the Pearl side, I have some other properties to take care of in addition to the studio. ”
"That's a pity!"
Although I don't understand why Lu Wenbin suddenly chose to relocate the studio to Mingzhu, seeing that Lu Wenbin said this, the head of the department is not too demanding. After all, Lu Wenbin's heart is rare to be able to give priority to the students of his alma mater!
