852. Casting (Part I)
"Come in." Hearing a knock on the door, Ye Sumang interrupted the conversation with Huang De and said towards the door.
In the next second, the door opened, and it was Ye Sumang's secretary Xia Bing who walked in. "Is there anything important?" Without waiting for Xia Bing to stand still, Ye Sumang took the lead in asking, after all, there are only some more important things that Xia Bing will deliberately run, and she can report the ordinary little things on weekdays through the internal phone.
Under Ye Sumang's inquiry, Xia Bing nodded, and then handed over a folder.
"Boss, this is the time to sign up for the interview with all the male artists of 'Hou Yi', those who have bad conduct in the circle have been eliminated, and the rest can be chosen with confidence, their dedication should be worth affirming, and please also ask the boss to circle a general range as the interview topic."
"I know, I will contact Sister Joy as soon as possible about this matter." Ye Sumang nodded, he didn't expect the first round of screening to be completed so quickly, so then it was time for him, as a director, to really contribute.
"Also, here are the implantation ...... applied for by some manufacturers" After speaking, Xia Bing took out another report, but was interrupted by Ye Sumang waving his hand as soon as he was halfway through.
"Nonsense, tell the head of the commercial department to reflect on it, don't always keep your eyes on money, if he can't think about the overall situation, I will consider whether he is suitable for that position, and make a statement again, this movie does not need any implantation." Ye Sumang unceremoniously rejected all these applications, and he didn't even glance at the numbers from beginning to end.
Because no matter how much the other party offers, it is not needed in Ye Sumang's opinion.
What implantation is needed for a mythological film? Do you want my protagonist to shoot the sun in a suit and a watch?
Don't be kidding, although I don't dare to guarantee that my movie has no loopholes at all, but if there is a loophole in the implantation, Ye Sumang would rather not.
In fact, for product placement. Ye Sumang has always adhered to the word 'suitable', such as in movies like "Inception", in fact, there is no shortage of product placement ads, from actors' costumes to watches and cars. Even some scenes were cleverly implanted into the movie by Ye Sumang. It's just that Ye Sumang is very obscure about this, and the audience will not jump out of the plot because of implantation while immersing themselves in the plot. That's the implant that's really suitable.
Ye Sumang will not refuse such a source of money, and even nearly one-third of the funds invested in "Inception" at the beginning were from this source, but it is still those two words, suitable. Only suitable can be implanted, but if it is implanted for the sake of money regardless of the angle of the movie, then Ye Sumang will be insensitive.
Ye Sumang's refusal seemed to be within Xia Bing's expectations, and after Ye Sumang spoke, she didn't have any persuasion, and put away the report neatly.
"That's it, the interview will be set up in a week. I'll let you know when the time comes. ”
"Okay." Ye Sumang smiled and nodded.
After Xia Bing went out, Ye Sumang also patted Huang Bo on the shoulder, told him the scope of the exam he had already thought of in his heart, and asked him to go back and prepare more. After all, he will also attend the casting with the interviewer's something.
At the same time as the casting of "The Flood - Battle of the Lich", the entire entertainment industry was also boiling.
After all, this is Ye Sumang's return to live-action movies after a few years, and Ye Sumang's works have always been known for their high quality, and it can be said that this work is highly anticipated by fans around the world.
It is conceivable that as long as you can play the leading role, it is a matter of course to become an instant hit, and if you are lucky, you may even be able to open a way out in Europe and the United States.
Such a temptation, how can it be that those economic entertainment companies can resist.
You must know that the cultivation of ordinary artists undoubtedly requires a lot of effort, from obscurity to fame is full of many unknowns, and those brokerage companies also rely on artists to eat in the final analysis, if they can add one more pillar to the company, wouldn't it be even more beautiful, not to mention that it is possible to catch up with the World Film and Television Group according to this opportunity, the largest star-making factory in China, such a thing They naturally spend 200% of their hearts and minds to study it.
And those artists are naturally more interested than economic companies.
Even if you love to play and make trouble on weekdays, you will force yourself to calm down and read the script these days, and the social entertainment in the past is all blocked by the brokerage company, and even the invitation of friends Few people go back to the appointment, and the preciousness of time is vividly reflected in this paragraph.
And there is also an interesting phenomenon that the nearly 100 places selected this time seem to have become a standard for distinguishing high-quality male artists in the circle, I don't know who knows that the first criterion announced by Ye Sumang is 'art virtue', and there is no doubt that those who are selected are very high-quality idols in everyone's opinion, as for the rest, I'm sorry, a 'bad' label can't escape.
This incident has also made it difficult for many 'inferior' artists, and the usual indiscretions were unexpectedly magnified, especially those small artists, who were blacklisted by many programs, and many artists who 'played big names' on weekdays were once again turned out by the media, and their hidden speculations attracted a lot of unknown public 'onlookers'.
After firing the employee who leaked the news, Ye Sumang also asked the public relations department to issue a statement for the first time, which can be regarded as an end to this matter, although it offended some irrelevant people, but it was also an unexpected receipt, at least there are more people who pay attention to the interview for this movie role, in several votes on the website, the expectation value has exceeded 10 million, and it is definitely the biggest hit in the entertainment industry at present.
The long-awaited results have finally arrived, and the interviews officially began five days later, and agencies across the country sent their own selected artists to Kyoto to participate in this huge interview.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is huge, there are dozens of first-line male stars, not to mention those popular new stars, a total of nearly 100 people, it can be said that the most prestigious actors in China and even all of Asia are gathered.
And to be able to launch such a huge interview and casting, I am afraid that only Ye Sumang, a great director, can do it.
At nine o'clock in the morning of the same day, outside the corridor of the No. 1 interview hall of the World Film and Television Group, there were already all kinds of handsome guys and men, and it was obvious that everyone's biggest goal today was only one, the protagonist!!
