Chapter 607: Edges and Corners

The casting of the children's drama "The Legend of the White Snake" is proceeding in an orderly manner. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xiao Ye selected more than 30 children, communicated with the children's teachers and parents, and invited them to audition.

Since parents send their children to art academies to study, they have the idea of letting their children become stars, and they basically will not refuse this kind of audition invitation.

There are also parents who want their children to receive artistic edification, and have no intention of showing up.

Xiao Ye wants to understand everyone's situation clearly, don't regret it when the time comes, and choose another actor.

This is normal, there are too many unstable factors in dealing with children, and there are constant troubles, which makes her anxious.

On the day of the audition, many parents and children came to the Good Dream Company.

The crew only had a million funds, and they had no money to rent a hotel outside, so they could only use the company's conference room to audition.

The director and crew are not very careful, and being assigned to this crew shows that their status in the company is not high, and a somewhat famous director will not make children's dramas.

Therefore, they are somewhat perfunctory in their attitude.

Now that the stall of Haomeng Company is big and there are many people, Lin Zixuan can't do everything himself, he doesn't have the energy, and he won't do that.

He just needs to grasp the general direction.

A company has both diligent employees and slack employees, diligent employees will rise higher and higher, and slack employees will eventually be eliminated.

This is the natural law of survival of the fittest.

"Director Li, wait for President Lin to come over, let's be serious." Xiao Ye reminded on the side.

The people in charge of the audition include directors, screenwriters and agents, Xiao Ye has little qualifications and has no right to speak, just sitting on the side and watching.

If it weren't for the director's being too perfunctory, Xiao Ye wouldn't have said that.

She was kind-hearted, but when she heard it in the director's ears, it became Xiao Ye using Lin Zixuan to press him.

"Mr. Lin is busy, his eyes are all big business, how can he have the time to come and see our small production." Director Li said in an educational tone, "Xiao Ye, don't always think about performing in front of the leader, you are still young, you will know in the future, no matter how good you behave, it is useless, you still have to rely on relationships." ”

"I don't want to show it, I think we have to be responsible for this drama and the children." Xiao Ye argued.

"I'm a director, I know what to do, what you have to do is to cooperate with me, not to give random opinions, if you have opinions, you can reflect them to the above, and see what the above says." Director Li said with a cold face.

Xiao Ye was silent, she knew that this was the rule in the circle.

China implements a director-centered system, even if it is a children's drama, the director is also the core, and the rest of the crew must cooperate with the director's work.

The audition continued, and the director's attitude remained the same.

The audition for a children's drama is relatively simple, as long as the child can explain the lines clearly, make a few facial expressions, and the personality is not so wooden, he basically passes.

As for the protagonists like Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, they need to perform a plot to see the comprehension ability of the young actors.

Liu Shishi and her mother waited in the crowd.

She is a native of Beijing, born in an acting family, and her grandfather is a well-known drum book performance artist in China.

She began studying ballet at the age of six, where she trained professionally and later had the opportunity to become a ballet dancer.

She is not very nervous about this audition, she likes to watch "The Legend of the New White Lady", and it feels very interesting to play the role in it.

Of course, every girl wants to play Bai Suzhen, and she is no exception.

It was Liu Shishi's turn to enter the conference room, she made a few expressions and movements according to the director's request, read a few lines, and the audition was over.

The director classified her as a supporting role.

"I think this girl is very good, she speaks clearly and looks thoughtful." Xiao Ye was puzzled.

"Older, stiff expression, no aura." Director Li commented, "Xiao Ye, it's not me saying you, as an agent, you have to be able to see the potential of actors, only those actors with potential are worth working hard to cultivate, and other actors should not waste time." ”

Until the end of the audition, Lin Zixuan did not appear.

Xiao Ye returned to the office, she wanted to inform the parents of the results of the audition, negotiate the salary of the young actor with the parents, and sign an acting contract.

At this time, the phone rang, and her boss asked her to go to Lin Zixuan's office to report the audition.

Lin Zixuan originally wanted to audition for a children's drama, but there was something temporary and he didn't succeed.

Penguin sent him a financing proposal.

Mr. Ma found a foreign venture capital firm, which invested $1.2 million and acquired 20 percent of Penguin's shares.

At present, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the renminbi is 8.278, which is equivalent to 10 million yuan.

Mr. Ma wanted to ensure that the founders of the company had control over the company, and they wanted to own 55 percent of the shares, leaving only 15 percent of the shares for Lin Zixuan.

The price is 7.5 million RMB.

Together with the 10 percent he already owns, Lin Zixuan owns a total of 25 percent of the shares of Penguin.

After Mr. Ma, it has become the second largest individual shareholder of Penguin.

This financing package not only secured a large amount of money, but also protected the interests of Penguin.

Lin Zixuan and Mr. Ma chatted on the phone and reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.

He has invested in a lot of projects this year, not only to build a cinema line, but also to invest in Internet companies, as well as to increase the capital of Shanshan Culture, and he is not very rich in hand.

But it doesn't matter, in half a year, foreign royalties will come.

According to the sales of "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" in various countries, there is at least 30 million yuan in royalties.

And that's just the beginning.

Xiao Ye knocked on the door, this was the first time she had come to Lin Zixuan's office, and she was inevitably nervous.

Lin Zixuan invited her in, and he was not impressed by the young agent, so he casually asked if there were any problems during the audition process.

Xiao Ye didn't want the boss to feel that he was saying bad things about the director, but he felt that he was responsible for this children's drama.

In the end, she was heartbroken and said what she really thought.

"Mr. Lin, I think Director Li's approach during the audition is inappropriate, even if this is just a children's drama, you have to be serious, it's all children's ......" Xiao Ye said with a serious face.

Lin Zixuan listened with interest.

The young man in front of him has just entered the workplace, and the edges and corners have not yet been smoothed, and he dares to speak his heart.

Maybe in a year or two, she will become sleek and sophisticated, and she will never hear this kind of truth again.

"I see!" After listening to Xiao Ye's story, Lin Zixuan said calmly.

Xiao Ye left Lin Zixuan's office and walked outside, his heart still pounding.

She didn't know where she got the courage, but she felt much more comfortable saying it.

Lin Zixuan didn't just listen to Xiao Ye's words, but called some old people from the company to ask.

These people have been with him for a long time, they are his confidants, trustworthy, and he can always inquire about what is happening in the company as long as he wants to know.
