Chapter 281: Casting Twists and Turns

"This is the model we plan to arrange for the Hornet."

Chen Yi took out a car video and handed it to Wang Shang.

Wang Shang took the video and was immediately attracted by the car.

Covered in yellow, with a black strip on the front bonnet, the slender engine compartment, exaggerated grille and almost wedge-shaped body lines create a hardcore style unique to Chinese performance cars. The front air intakes and headlights are integrated, and the width of the car is wider than that of ordinary cars, making the front face shape of the Camaro look quite fierce.

The engine compartment looks very slender from the side, the two-door coupe design looks low and has a strong visual impact, and the rearview mirror design is slender and sharp.

Wang Shang couldn't help but sigh at the power of fate, this car was similar to the image of the Chevrolet Camaro Camaro in the previous time and space.

Chen Yi felt that this picture had successfully attracted Wang Shang, and hurriedly introduced: "This car was developed by us last year, and it is tentatively named Longyun-Zhenlong series ......."

Then he will introduce its structure, performance, and various data, and the orchid.

At this time, Wang Shang couldn't help but ask: "The price of this car, how much are you going to sell?" ”

"If we set the price, it should be about 50,000-80,000 US dollars, and we are ready to invest in the US auto market on a large scale and seize the major families."

"Okay, you schedule a time, I'm going to see the actual car of this car."

To be honest, the advertising cost of Bumblebee in "Transformers" is 80 million yuan, which is quite reasonable. Therefore, when Longyun Automobile Group quoted Bumblebee + Optimus Prime 200 million, and saw this Longyun-Zhenlong, it was very in line with the image in Wang Shang's mind, and Wang Shang was willing to put the advertising space in Longyun Automobile Group.

"You won't regret this deal." Wang Shang said to Chen Yi at the end.

Chen Yi also smiled and shook hands and said goodbye: "I believe it!" Happy working together! ”

When Wang Shang announced the offer of Longyun Automobile Group, he instantly scared off all the automobile companies, and the advertising investment of 200 million yuan was not a small amount.

Longyun Automobile Group wants to get this advertising space in order to open the door to the American auto market, which is a charcoal in the snow, so the demand is more urgent and the price is higher.

And other car companies want to win this advertising space in order to increase brand awareness, which is the icing on the cake. So the demand is naturally not so strong, and the quotation will certainly not be so high.

80 million is already high in their opinion.

did not get the advertising space of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, and these car companies quickly divided the remaining 30 or so King Kong car advertisements, and Wang Shang directly received 150 million advertising costs.

And in the past few days, the news about "Transformers" from the outside world has been continuous, and countless media have followed and reported it pervasively.

"The famous Hollywood director Michael Bay appeared in Tianwang Film and Television Company, 'suspicious appearance'."

"Michael Bay officially announced that he has joined "Transformers" and became an assistant director under director Wang Shang.

""Transformers" has so far earned 110 million yuan in advertising costs, and Wang Shang has an amazing speed of collecting money!!"

"Wang Shang led the crew members of "Transformers" to visit Longyun Automobile Group."

"Longyun Automobile Group announced that it won the car advertising space of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime at a price of 200 million."

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation. But before the people could digest the news. Another piece of news followed-

"The advertising cost of "Transformers" has now received 460 million!!"

The country became a sensation!!

"me!!"

"I got 460 million advertising dollars before I filmed??"

Major media have reprinted this news. And the '460 million' was put on the front page headlines of the entertainment section and even the economic sector with a dazzling increase, bold and color.

"If you don't start filming, you will make money first!!"

At this time, the entire entertainment industry is the world of "Transformers", and others such as scandals and movie start-ups...... and so on, without exception, it was pressed under the bench.

Up and down the country. In addition to the hundreds of millions of fans who like to watch movies, other people who don't know the specific situation are also attracted by this 'big title'.

I don't know how to do it!!

"Look at people, the project has not started yet, and it has harvested hundreds of millions, which is like us, working hard for a year, and the company's profits are only hundreds of thousands."

"Just change careers and go to movies."

"You can only move bricks, what kind of movie will you make?"

"What's wrong with moving bricks? I don't believe that making a movie doesn't require menial work. ”

This time. Many unknown people in China were abducted by this news and turned into the giant pit of the film industry.

Wang Shang naturally didn't know the huge attraction of 460 million to others, but he was also very surprised to be able to get 460 million ($50 million) in advertising revenue, which was much better than the $40 million of "Transformers 1" in the previous space.

"There are a lot of local tyrants." Wang Shang couldn't help but sigh.

――――――――

After the investment promotion was completed, Wang Shang began to devote himself to the formation of the crew and the recruitment of actors.

The main persons in charge of all aspects of the crew have been recruited. In addition to Michael Bay, another assistant director is a director in Tianwang Film and Television Company, who has his own set of science fiction movies. The scene reporter, action director, cinematographer, set designer, makeup artist, prop master, ...... The person in charge of all aspects is an employee of Tianwang Studio.

After the rapid development of Tianwang Film and Television in the past few years, the stage is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more high-end people who have invested in the arms of the company.

With the name of "Transformers", the crew was formed at an unprecedented speed. The crew is twice as large as the crew of "Fast and Furious", which is a special trick by Wang Shang in order to catch up with "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings".

And the actors are also constantly recruited with the efforts of the screenwriters and crew executives.

And at this critical moment, those big movie stars who are usually not popular have expressed their voices on Weibo, blogs, and media channels.

Liu Tianwang said: "I am very happy to join "Transformers", even if it is a supporting role. ”

Li Nianjie believes: "Wang Shang is a very good director, and I very much hope to be able to participate in a film directed by Wang Shang. ”

Fan Ye: "If you can be an actor under Director Wang, it must be a very good experience." ”

Cheng Long: "I'm very much looking forward to working with Director Wang. ”

And those little stars are even more sycophant......

Of course, there are also dismissive celebrities, who feel that they should maintain the state of 'the world is turbid, I am sober', 'others laugh at me too crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through it'.

As for the crew 'leaders' who have mastered the selection of actors, they are also the same as Wang Shang, and they have gained a lot of sycophants, and there are a lot of favors and gifts.

However, the matter of selecting actors soon had twists and turns.

On July 31, in a restaurant, Wu Xuemei said an astonishing news to Liu Xi: "Do you know? Today I received a letter of exposure to the crew of "Transformers", and the content of the letter is about the unspoken rules of female stars. ”

"What? The unspoken rules of "Transformers" are exposed? Liu Xi looked shocked.

Wu Xuemei didn't quite understand why Liu Xi had such an expression, and continued: "The person who wrote the letter was an audition actress, and she heard that the person who interviewed her had an unspoken rule about another competitor, and there were photos and the like, which was full of evidence. I know that you must know the high-level people of Tianwang Film and Television Company, and I am also taken care of by Mr. Wang, so I temporarily withheld this exposure letter and did not give it to the editor-in-chief. ”

"Whew, it's okay!!" Liu Xi patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's none of your business, what's the concern?" Wu Xuemei said.

Liu Xi didn't explain, quickly took out the phone and called Wang Shang directly, telling Wang Shang the whole thing.

However, her intimate demeanor on the phone attracted Wu Xuemei's attention: "Oh, look at you like this, the person you met in Tianwang Film and Television Company turned out to be your boyfriend, tell my sister, it is the lucky guy who can capture the heart of our little princess." Quickly introduce me to the !! ”

Liu Xi glanced at her and said, "He's very busy, I'll introduce him to you next time." Liu Xi raised his mobile phone and continued, "He said that it doesn't matter if the news is exposed, and it can also bring a lot of attention to "Transformers". He also said that it is recommended that you go and post this news now, which can add a lot of qualifications to you. He waited for the next time to send someone over to copy the exposure materials for later use. ”

"Can it be exposed?? He said there was no problem?? ”

"Well, no problem."

"He can't be a trick on me, right? Who is he? Can you talk? ”

"He can't be wrong." Liu Xi said categorically.

"Good! I'll expose it right away! Wu Xuemei hurriedly got up
