Chapter 337. "Touching the Golden Captain" casting!
William Chim is definitely a good business partner, at least in Yin's opinion, this person is not as loser as the legend suggests, and has his own unique views on European entertainment culture and entertainment industry.
So after the partnership was formalized between the two parties, Yin Tianyou bought all the Chinese antiques in his house, and at a very low price, according to William Shim, the ancestors were not so expensive when they bought it.
After dealing with these things, Yin Tianyou once again took a large number of antiques and flew directly to Chinese mainland, when he ran into trouble and was seized by the airport, on the grounds that he was "Korean" so he could not leave the country with these antiques privately.
Of course, Yin Tianyou understood what these words meant, so he called the Blue House, and the Blue House immediately called the airport.
When he came to Chinese mainland, Yin Tianyou was not busy donating things, but contacted Wang Jie as soon as possible, and met with him and the bigwigs of the three major film companies in Shanghai.
During the chat, Yin Tianyou "intentionally or unintentionally" said that he was going to donate a large number of lost overseas antiques.
As expected, as soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused enthusiastic reactions from several bigwigs. In their opinion, this donation can be completely earth-shattering and impressive. In this way, it can help them prepare for the big movie "Touching the Golden Captain".
You think, this drama is about tomb robbery, but in reality, the director we invited donated more than 300 million antique national treasures to the country. Isn't that worthy of praise and praise?
Under the design of the big guy, this donation of national treasures was immediately planned, and the momentum was huge, and the three companies each had their own propaganda departments, as well as media calibers, and now they are shouting for this matter together. That kind of momentum is definitely sonic boom.
Therefore, in just one month, the donation of hundreds of millions of national treasures to the country by Tianyi Media led by Yin Tianyou has spread throughout the land of China.
For a time, Yin Tianyou's reputation in the mainland reached its peak.
Charity Ambassadors!
Descendants of the Dragon!
Don't forget your roots!
The love for the motherland, in Cao Ying, in Han!
It can be said that all media have made extremely detailed and full reports on Yin Tianyou. raised his character to the level of a "patriotic tycoon".
At the same time, Yin Tianyou's "Touching the Golden Captain" also took advantage of these reports, and various review departments gave the green light. There are even military units that are willing to provide all kinds of help for the filming of this drama.
Yin Tianyou didn't expect this, but what he didn't expect was in the back.
One day before the start of preparing for "Touching the Golden Captain", Boss Wang, who is the boss of Wanda, called and invited him to his club for an interview. When he went to the club and entered the VIP room, Yin Tianyou glanced at it and was stunned, in addition to Mr. Wang, there was also the famous boss of the richest man in the mainland e-commerce. Boss Liu, as well as Mr. Lei and others in the mobile phone industry, it can be said that four of the top ten richest people in the mainland were present. In addition, there are two big names who specialize in the hotel industry and the department store industry.
What day is it? Could it be that there was an earthquake, or else it would have come so neatly? Yin Tianyou had countless thoughts in his mind, and he strode into the room with a smile: "Are several billionaires planning to do a big deal here?" Can you not forget the little brother. β
Although Yin Tianyou has not had much contact with these super-rich people, they are all familiar characters, so there is no need to pretend not to know each other.
It was Wanda's boss Wang who first made a brief introduction, and finally said: "This Yin Xiaoyou is generous." I donated four or five hundred million yuan to the country at once, and I think it is necessary to call him when I organize a delegation to Beijing this time. What do you think? β
Organizing a group into Beijing?
Do what?
Yin Tianyou was stunned for a moment, feeling like something big was about to happen.
Originally, a billionaire like Boss Ma was very curious about how Boss Wang would take the initiative to introduce such a young man, but at this moment, when he heard that Yin Tianyou was the young director who had been in the limelight recently and donated national treasures as much as 500 million, he couldn't help but wonder.
Looking at everyone's expressions, I thought of my identity in the entertainment industry. Yin Tianyou easily thought of the thoughts of everyone here.
First of all, it goes without saying that although Wanda started by doing real estate, it has always had ambitions to sit big in the entertainment industry, so much so that it continues to expand theaters in China, and even goes abroad to buy theaters. So much so that when many mainland media talk about Wanda, the adjective is "buy, buy, buy". In recent years, the richest man who started by doing e-commerce, Ma Da Gang has also been vigorously marching towards the Yule circle, especially relying on the advantages of the network, and has experience in network marketing with many film companies, and now he has directly established an Ali Pictures, ready to show his strength.
Thinking of this, Yin Tianyou guessed that today's topic was probably also related to entertainment.
Sure enough, after a brief introduction, I saw Wanda's Boss Wang walking up to Yin Tianyou, patting him on the shoulder enthusiastically and saying: "This time, we are all going to form a group to enter Beijing, hoping to reach an agreement with the cultural department and establish a complete film business system. Now that the membership is basically confirmed, of course young people like you are welcome to joinβ"
What do you mean?
Establish a system?
Do you want to play monopoly?
Yin Tianyou's brain was moving fast.
Film monopolies have existed in South Korea, in Hollywood, and in almost all countries where the film industry is developed. This situation is inevitable in the process of film development, such as the seven major Hollywood studios, the three major Indian film giants, etc.
In the early stage, this kind of monopoly helped to establish a more effective film system and conventional system in China, and could help the film develop faster and more effectively. But in the later stage, it will gradually become a major obstacle to the development of films.
Yin Tianyou's change in expression was seen by several bigwigs, in their opinion, they can all afford to look down on Yin Tianyou, that is already a lot of face for him, you know, Yin Tianyou's industry is mainly in the film and entertainment industry, not the stock market. Which is like them. Almost real estate, e-commerce, mobile phones, hotels, and department stores are all involved. In terms of wealth, they are all one level higher than Yin Tianyou, and now they are willing to bring him to Beijing to form an entertainment system. Becoming a member of the monopoly organization, to put it bluntly, is to look up to Yin Tianyou, to put it bluntly, if it weren't for Yin Tianyou's recent limelight, his deeds of donating national treasures have been praised by the top, and the value that can be used, they would not have pulled him along, after all, although Yin Tianyou is Chinese, he is still Korean.
But what they didn't expect was this. Yin Tianyou refused their offer, and not very tactfully but directly refused, he said: "I'm sorry, seniors, as you know, I'm just an artist, I can sing and dance. can act, can film. That's all, I'm not very good at business operations, and what rules and regulations are in place, so I can't be with you. β
Wanda King was stunned.
Ma Shoufu was also stunned.
Others look at me and I look at you.
They don't understand, such a good proposal. Why did Yin Tianyou refuse.
In the end, Yin Tianyou said, "Although I don't know much about business, I understand a truth, even if there are a few big trees in the forest." It can only be temporarily sheltered from the wind and rain, but the seedlings under the big trees will not be able to receive the sun, and when the time comes, the forest will no longer be a forest, or it will be sent out by the loggers. β
It's easy to understand.
So after Yin Tianyou left very politely, a few bigwigs, you look at me, I look at you, they are all thinking about a question, do you want to form a group to enter Beijing?
β¦β¦
Yoon has always felt that he has taken a very wrong path, that is, he has too big commercial ambitions and delayed his favorite music and movies. Especially in the development of Asian and European markets, the step is too big. In a way, what is the difference between yourself and those businessmen who are bent on making money on entertainment?
But after this incident, Yin Tianyou understood that he had lost himself in wealth and fame, and now he has come to his senses again.
Yin Tianyou understands what he should do now and what he shouldn't do.
β¦β¦
The script of the play "Touching the Golden Captain" has long been determined, and since it is adapted from an online novel, it is best to let the author of this novel, Ba Sing, write the adaptation.
As for the actors, after studying the script, Yin Tianyou read the original book three or four times and thoroughly figured out several main characters in it.
Hu Bayi: Occupation: soldier, self-employed, touching the gold captain. Dare to think, dare to speak, dare to do, dare to break through, dare to revolution, in a word, dare to rebel, always find a reason to persuade yourself and others, with a sixteen-character yin and yang feng shui secretary to master the dragon hunting trick of touching the gold captain, lonely and brave; and Shirley Yang and Fat Man embarked on the road of tomb robbery, which led to a series of adventure stories.
Wang Kaixuan: A fat man, since he is determined to take the world as his own responsibility, how can he do it if he is not arrogant or awesome? Arrogance relies on strength, and bullshitness relies on courage, which is the noisy superior character is more than two, recognizes money and does not recognize people, marksmanship first, and the children of high-ranking cadres behind the gate, except for fear of height, do not care, not only have a perfect theory of struggle, but also dare to fight, good at fighting, and willing to struggle. He wears a cape with a hat, no sleeves, and must wear a hat as long as he wears it, and the color is like a mouse.
Shirley Young: Chinese-American, outstanding but not arrogant, "women don't let their eyebrows" American woman. After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy, he gave up his military career to become a photographer, supported the Democratic Party, and inherited the family's secret mountain-moving and armor division; Together with Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, they crossed the mountains and mountains to explore the ancient tombs. In appearance, Shirley Yang is a young woman with black hair like clouds, beautiful eyebrows and sideburns, and a delicate face. But this beautiful girl has a slightly eagle nose, slightly blue eyes, and foreign blood.
β¦β¦
Yoon carefully researches the personalities and backgrounds of the three main characters, and then selects the right ones from among the artists under the three major companies.
There is no way, since the three major companies want to film this drama, of course, the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, and they will contribute money and efforts to support their own people. In addition, Wanda originally wanted the original cast of "Looking for the Dragon" to continue to star, but the other two companies disagreed, saying that they should go to the next level and grasp the roles more accurately, and by the way, the information of their artists was also placed in front of Yin Tianyou.
Yin Tianyou doesn't mind this, after all, this is human nature. As long as the actor is good, the acting skills are good, and he can be qualified for the role, then everything is OK.
Yin Tianyou chooses actors and never looks at this person's popularity, identity, and background, he only believes in his own vision, so his way to choose actors for "Touching the Golden Captain" this time is also very simple, that is, interview.
The news of the interview for "Touching the Golden Captain" spread among the artists under the three major film companies, which made the three bigwigs unable to say anything. Although I recommended my own artists to the past, people have to interview one by one to decide, and from all aspects, they can't question it. The most important thing is that this time Yin Tianyou's interviewers were not interviewed alone, but let the directors of the three major film companies participate together, that is to say, this is an open and fair interview, and it is very fair to take out, so far, it is even more difficult for everyone to say anything.
The interview location was selected in Wanda's hotel, and on the same day, according to statistics, a total of 153 people came to participate in the interview, in addition to Wanda's artists, some of them came over and heard the grapevine, so the entire corridor was almost crowded.
What kind of person is Yoon Tianyou, when he was in Korea, he experienced too many interviews and selection activities, and he was comfortable with this situation.
He first divided the 150-odd people into 10 groups, a group of 15 people, and then divided them into two teams, A and B, and carried out three levels of selection.
The first level, the language level, you can't speak clearly, what kind of drama are you playing.
In the second level, since the characters are related to tomb robbery, there must be a lot of action scenes, so you can't even do some basic actions, and what else do you do as a hero and heroine.
The third level, character grasping, according to your understanding of the character, to perform a 3-minute clip. If you can't even understand the role, how can you play it well?
It can be said that this "three passes" is simply a lawn mower, and some unqualified weeds are removed in just one day.
In the three levels, many interviewed actors are either nervous and don't even come out as soon as they come on the stage, or they just make an action and fall down all of a sudden, or they don't know much about the characters, saying that they are fans of the original work, but they can't understand the characters at all.
In the blink of an eye, the original more than 150 people suddenly became ten, including five people who ran for the actor Hu Bayi, three people who ran for Wang Fatzi, and two people who ran for the heroine Shirley Yang.
In the end, who can be selected by Yin Tianyou in the end, it will have to wait for the next day, and it is also the key moment of this selection competition, to see who can stand out in the fourth level set up by Yin Tianyou. (To be continued.) )
