Chapter 217: Business Matters
When I returned to China, the work was piled up. At the celebration banquet of "Wolf Love", Zhao Peifeng bluntly said that half of the box office sales were due to Qin Xiao and Wen Qingyuan. Qin Xiao and Wen Qingyuan didn't dare to take this point, but this kind of thing is just like that, and if they return the compliments to everyone and praise the director and the male and female protagonists, this matter will pass. And the male and female protagonists are not hypocritical people, and they know that Qin Xiao and Wen Qingyuan really have great contributions, and naturally the celebration banquet is also very happy.
The second meal was followed by a banquet for Xiang Xi and Mina. Because the previous marriages have been done in my hometown, this time I invited my friends to have a lively meal. So Xiang Xi and Mina didn't invite too many people. But even then, there were thirty or forty tables. After all, people from both companies are definitely coming. Some familiar media people, people in the fashion circle who have a good relationship with Mina, some people from other companies who have been familiar with Xiang Xi before, advertising department managers of some large manufacturers, etc., it is really impossible not to be grand.
As soon as there are too many people, they will be chaotic, and all kinds of people will inevitably pull the relationship through the back door. Boss Qin and Qin Xiao have become sought-after goods. When the banquet finally ended, their brothers were tired and lay down.
Lie on your back on the sofa in the lounge. Wen Qingyuan didn't care about his image at all. "I never thought that getting married was such a hassle! The last time I got married to Brother Xiao, I already felt quite tired, and now I am even more tired. Brother Xi, Sister Mina, give the two of you a month off for your honeymoon! ā
Mina smiled and gave Wen Qingyuan a peeled orange. "After the vacation, there is time. Now that you're asking us to go on vacation, we're just going out and we don't have the heart to play. When I have a child, you will compensate me for giving me a paid break for two years. ā
Xiao Yuanyuan sat up instantly: "What? So fast? When did it come out? Won't I be going to be an uncle and uncle soon? ā
Mina rubbed his head: "Don't talk nonsense here!" I'm talking about waiting! ā
Yuan Yuan instantly wilted and lay back again: "I thought I could upgrade." Brother Xi, you really don't give it a try. ā
Xiang Xi said "hehe" twice. "You give your husband a chance to come out, and I will be my uncle and uncle."
Yuan Yuan snorted: "I don't like children." Besides, Brother Xiao and I have many sons and daughters. Some of them even write to us. ā
Sometimes it's not light or heavy for men to joke with each other. Mina glared at Nozomi: "Speaking of which, those children are really pitiful. Last month, I went to an orphanage in Dongcheng, and several of my children were adopted and sent back, and now some of them are really choking. Since you haven't thought about making adequate preparations for parents to adopt their children, don't bring secondary harm to your children. ā
Ye Wen nodded: "That's right." On that day, a few of us saw that the children who were sent back were hiding from people, and I felt really uncomfortable. It's useless to give more money. However, we contacted a psychological counseling center and regularly went to the orphanage for free counseling every month, which should be of some use. ā
Yu Jiaming sighed: "Actually, can we shoot a TV series that focuses on orphans?" Although child abduction, trafficking, abandonment and so on are things that have attracted much attention, I feel that more can be done. ā
This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone. And Boss Qin also mentioned yƬ: "If more celebrities can join in, or even shoot with zero pay, then all the money from the sale of TV series to TV stations can be donated and treated as a public welfare project." How feasible do you think it is? ā
Xiang Xi smiled after hearing this: "What is feasible and not feasible." You don't lack money. Our company's own artists are enough for coffee positions, and there are also friends from other companies. And you can't let someone from another company do the role, right? Such a script can be arranged for one or two episodes of the kind of cameo. To take this kind of public welfare thing, people are willing to pay nothing. But I think it's better not to sell the film, and directly contact the imperial court station if you are willing to release the film without charging money, and then recruit manufacturers to invest, and then let every investment be donated except for the equipment and labor for normal shooting, as well as the expenses of small actors and group actors. It may work better and be more thorough. ā
Wen Qingyuan touched his chin: "Then it's not an investor, but a charitable donation." But it's not that hard. ā
Lei Ling was the first to answer: "Yiran starring, I will pay half of the money." ā
Wen Qingyuan gave a thumbs up: "What a man!" Interesting! Brother Xi let him sign the contract, don't let him run! ā
Tian Yiran couldn't cry or laugh: "The money can be out, I don't have to star." ā
Liu Hai made a concluding speech at this time: "Since you all think this matter is reliable, I will discuss it with the company's senior management when I go back with Mo Ru and Xiang Xi." Then draw up the script and the amount of this charitable investment. In fact, if you can achieve zero salary for well-known actors, then you don't need too much money to invest. If there is Boss Lei, we can handle it ourselves, and there is no need to find someone else, so as not to have trouble in the future. When money is involved, it's hard to say clearly if too many people are involved. What's more, our company itself is not bad at this. And how many leading actors there are and how many cameo stars are needed, this will have to wait for the script to be written. So all you have to do now is hurry home and rest, and I'll give you news when we're done. ā
Once this matter is on the agenda, it is also quick to discuss. The accounting department roughly counted the amount of investment in one day, and basically the amount of investment required is not too exaggerated, and if a few investors inject funds, shareholders will not care about using the money for a charity event. First, it is really not that much money, and secondly, otherwise it will have to take out a sum of money every year to do charity, but this year it will be a different way to attract more attention from the society.
Wen Qingyuan and Qin Xiao were very concerned about these things, and almost every day Xiang Xi and Liu Hai would call them to tell them about the situation. In addition, Qin Xiao also told the company about the movie plan about the theme of orcs in another world that Sun Meng and Wen Qingyuan thought of during the adventure. Let them also discuss the feasibility of the plan and the approximate amount of investment.
But within two days, they were also busy. The first was some auditions for the supporting roles in "Chasing the Deer", followed by a full audition for "Six Realms". Both of these things require two people to take care of them.
But the audition direction of "Chasing the Deer" and "Six Realms" is completely different. "Chasing the Deer" is Li Lao's first TV series work, and it is also the last TV series work, and Li Lao also announced that he will officially retire after filming this TV series and will no longer direct any works, but as a consultant of Shengshi Media and Xiaoyuan, he will give some guidance to some films. Therefore, those who came to audition for "Chasing the Deer" just chose some supporting roles, which was enough to make a group of actors flock to it.
And "Six Realms" is an open audition. This TV series is a series, and like the version of the game, every other version is a story between two racial worlds. And the script is also based on the main plot of each version of the race world. The script was written by the original plot of the game and several screenwriters of Shengshi, so I fully respect the original work. This also means that this TV series needs a lot of actors and a lot of starring actors. In order to allow more new faces to appear, the company has already made intentions for several important leading actors, and most of the main actors and supporting roles need to be auditioned publicly. The first is to build momentum, and the second is to attract more and better actors to expand the company's lineup.
No one doesn't want to be the most powerful, and Qin Xiao and Wen Qingyuan are naturally no exception.
On the first day of the audition for "Chasing the Deer", Li Lao was escorted by Li Qin to Xiaoyuan's company building. Today's audition was held in the audio-visual hall on the second floor of Xiaoyuan. This is a place similar to a small movie theater that Qin Xiao has renovated after receiving the software company and the entire building. It is to make it easier for everyone to watch the effect of their own videos. After all, the future special effects company is now in this office building. They will need this audiovisual hall more than other departments to test the experience.
Today the place was cleaned up, the big screen was covered with a green screen, the blackout curtains of all the windows were also closed, only the ceiling lights were turned on, and they were ready to use different lighting effects to create an atmosphere so that the actors could have a better performance. In fact, this seems to be good for the actors who come to audition, but in fact, it is also convenient for the producer and director to better observe the changes in the actors' faces and expressions in the lens under different lights, and even their own aura. After all, only when you see that the acting skills, expressions, appearance, and aura are suitable in the camera, can the role be conclusive.
Sitting next to Elder Li, Wen Qingyuan whispered, "Elder Li, my mother got up in the morning and made a few good dishes for you to bring them." I'll put it in the cafeteria, and we'll have a drink at noon later. ā
Wen Qingyuan's producer met Li Lao's request for a good grandson. And it's really fate, Old Man Li was happy when he saw Wen Qingyuan, so Xiao Yuanyuan said how much he liked it, let alone bring the food and good wine he liked. "Good boy, you still know the pain and the heat. Much better than this stinky boy. ā
Li Qin has the heart to cry. This grandson of his own has too little status. "Grandpa, forget about eating meat, but you must drink less wine."
Wen Qingyuan patted Li Qin's shoulder: "Don't worry." It is a rice wine made by relatives themselves, which is not only pure grain, but also has a low degree. ā
Li Lao looked at Li Qin: "Look at you!" Look at Xiaoyuan again! What kind of grandson are you! Why didn't you think of getting me fatty meat and low-alcohol rice wine? ā
Li Qin especially wants to say that I am not a foodie, I must have no experience with this! But seeing that grandpa is happy, it's not a big deal to take a few words by yourself. What's more, Wen Qingyuan can think of his grandfather like this, and he is also very grateful. With Wen Qingyuan's identity and net worth, there is really no need to please the old man, this is the respect and love of the real juniors for the elders, how can he not understand. "I must learn more from him in the future, right? I've also started to learn how to cook, so I'm sure you'll be able to eat the delicious food I made with my own hands. Is this okay? ā
How else to talk about old children, the old man needs to be coaxed at such an age. Li Qin did a very good job in this regard. "Well, don't say you don't need it. Hurry up and get ready to start the audition, all departments pay attention, the lights and photographers are ready, and we are about to start the audition! The actors who came to audition were prepared outside, starting with the female number two! ā
Mr. Li, who suddenly changed the subject, made everyone else a little confused. But then everyone laughed, stopped ridiculing, and everyone was ready to work.
It's just that when they saw the first actress to come in, Wen Qingyuan and Qin Xiao's faces changed at that time. Wen Qingyuan immediately frowned: "What's the matter with her?" ā
Qin Xiao also frowned. "Just don't see it, it's business. I'm outside of business. ā
