Chapter Eighty-Eight: Grabbing Roles
A suite on the second floor of Yelin Hotel
"Mr. Cheng, Mr. An, if you want me to say that you are not kind, the movie "Big Horn" embodies the hard work of me and Xiaofeng, although the project was not successful at the Beijing Film Studio Meeting, but it is not our fault, right?
Now it is true that Yelin Culture Film and Television Company has invested in this film, and it is not false that Boss Jiang has negotiated a cooperation with Youth Film Studio, but art is art, and all the main roles cannot be determined by investors and brokerage companies, right? ”
The one who spoke was Lao Zheng, the deputy director of the TV drama production center.
"Lao Zheng is right, I and Lao Zheng spent a lot of effort to come up with this book, and it took us a long time to persuade Director Xia, otherwise do you think that the well-known director of Beijing Film Studio would be so easy to jump out to help Youth Factory make films?
The recruitment of the actors of "The Big Horn" is open and transparent, and you can't let you do it all, right?! Screenwriter Xiao Feng rubbed his teeth, with a ruffian face.
"Two screenwriters, I have to remind you that the movie "The Big Horn" was shot at Beijing Film Studio, and cooperated with the Film Academy and Youth Film Studio, which was the result of the negotiation of our Yelin Culture Film and Television Investment Company.
The film industry should be the producer/producer in charge, to put it mildly, the writer and director are all workers of the producer, so whether it is the script or the actors, including the final editing, the producer has a veto! ”
The fruit husband from Baodao spoke Chinese softly, but his words were tough and powerful, as a representative of capital, as his first shot after serving as the director of the film department of the film and television company.
If this can't be beaten, Baodao Cheng will never agree, in the Baodao film circle, this master is one of the three strong figures, as the founder of the Baodao Silver Horse International Film Festival.
As the founder of the Baodao Film Commune that was jointly established with Director Hou and Director Yang, the directors of Huaxia Mainland are really not in his eyes.
"Harmony is precious, Mr. Cheng, the two screenwriters, in fact, the differences can be bridged, the directors have their favorite actors, so they can naturally recommend them to the crew, I believe that as a producer, Mr. Cheng will not be rash.
Of course, our agency originally ate this bowl of rice recommended by artists, and wouldn't it be good for everyone to discuss the actor candidates! "The beautiful agent is on the side and muddy.
"The selection of actors is the matter of the assistant director, Mr. An, you can't be an agent, right?" The editor of Xiao Feng stiffened his neck, looking at the quiet eyes a little unkindly.
"Cut, screenwriter Feng, I'm planning ahead for your crew to find a needle in a haystack of actors, don't you thank me for hitting me up?
The screenwriter just has to write the script honestly, and the director, producer and agency should work together for such a professional thing as choosing actors. ”
Quiet eloquence is no worse than Xiao Feng, and the confidence is even better.
"Okay, don't fight, let's go through the few candidates at hand now, otherwise you won't be able to fight for three days!" Director Xiaoka, who had not spoken, finally opened his mouth and snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.
"Then I'll talk first!" Xiao Feng shouted before Lao Zheng, Lao Zheng, screenwriter and planner are good hands, and the ability to quarrel with film producers still has to be practiced.
At this moment, when there is no humility, you have to put your own candidates before the other party!
"Say it, say it, no one will fight with you!" muttered quietly and angrily, muttering in his heart that this screenwriter who was born as an artist really regards himself as a big man, or not, look at Lao Zheng, and don't care about this little screenwriter.
"Lao Zheng and I have a few candidates on hand, the first is the female number one, Xu Fan, who graduated from Chinese opera last year, we think it's very good, in terms of temperament, it completely meets the requirements of the script!"
Xiao Feng put the goddess in his heart on the table first, although he is a family person, his daughter is only one year old.
Quietly was stunned when she heard this, in order to sign Wang Ziwen, Ye Lin Culture Agency signed Wang Ziwen's live-in girlfriend Xu Fan together, and was thinking about letting Xu Fan play the male number one in "The Big Horn" The daughter-in-law who beat the foreign dog with meat buns after going abroad, why, screenwriter Feng actually knew Xu Fan? ?
"Xiao Feng is right, Xu Fan's figure and temperament are more in line with the image of the female number one, she has acted in a lot of dramas in Renyi, and she was also an excellent graduate when she graduated from the Chinese opera performance class last year, this is her background information and photos, you can take a look!"
Lao Zheng is actually just Xiao Feng's stalking, and he became a messenger and Bole to protect flowers, but this matter can't be publicized, Xiao Feng's daughter-in-law who is a nurse is almost the master of traditional Chinese virtues, and the child is only one year old......
"Mr. An, what do you think? Does the brokerage have any other suitable candidates? ”
As a producer, the status of the husband is detached, and he turns his attention to the beautiful agent quietly, at this time he has to pay attention to strategy, if he asks the director Xiagang's opinion as soon as he comes up, in case Xiagang nods first, it will not be good to refute the face of other directors.
"The two screenwriters, take the liberty of asking, this Xu Fan, it seems that he has never acted in TV series and movies, and he has acted in real dramas in Chinese operas.
Quiet and eccentric, looking at Xiagang's expression, you know that Lao Zheng and Xiaofeng, the two screenwriters, are Xu Fan recommended by private goods, obviously Xiagang is also unfamiliar with Xu Fan, and at this time he is holding the actor's information and photos, and is looking at it carefully.
"Xu Fan just graduated from Chinese opera last year, and the young actors who can enter the capital must be excellent graduates, otherwise there are many people who are assigned to other literary and artistic groups and repertory troupes.
In these years, those who can act in movies may not be able to act in dramas, and actors who can play small people will definitely surprise everyone as long as they give her a chance! ”
Screenwriter Feng is obviously still trying to get by, Xu Fan's showbiz qualifications are of course a weakness, and graduates of Chinese opera are not like film schools, and they have many opportunities to play when they are studying.
Chinese opera is also a drama, those classic dramas of Renyi, the roles of senior drama actors of the young generation are not enough, and it is not easy for newcomers who have just graduated to mix with passers-by.
"The two screenwriters, I'm sorry, according to our company's planning and arrangement, Xu Fan can only play the wife of the male number one, or, play the daughter-in-law of the male number two, and it is definitely not possible to play the female number one!
I forgot to tell everyone that Xu Fan is a newly signed full-time artist in our company, she has resigned from Renyi, and I will negotiate with the producer crew about her acting contract in the future. Quiet showed his cards.
"What? What do you say? You say it again?" Screenwriter Feng was unprepared, and suddenly had a feeling of betrayal, in fact, Wang Ziwen relied on his relationship with Director Zhao to entrust Lao Zheng and Xiaofeng earlier.
Be sure to find a way to get some filming opportunities for your girlfriend, Lao Zheng is okay, I have seen Xu Fan in Wang Ziwen, and I know that although this girl's temperament is looking at the dirt, she is still quite photogenic when she dresses up.
Xiao Feng is terrible, the so-called I don't know which string in my heart is not in tune when I see it......
"I said, Xu Fan is a newly signed full-time artist of our company, and in the future, the producer and crew will have to talk to me about her acting activities, and she herself will not count.
We have another candidate for the female No. 1, Xu Fan can play the female No. 3 and No. 4 female, first lay a little foundation and be familiar, for the development of its signed artists, our company has a plan for overall packaging and arrangement, Director Xia thinks Xu Fan can participate in the secondary role of this play? ”
Quiet directly put the question to director Xiagang, Xiao Feng and Lao Zheng In her opinion, there is no need to speak at all for the selection of actors, and "Big Speaker" is not filmed to return favors.
is when the Chinese New Year movie is going to be an instant hit, Xu Fanke does not have that kind of qualifications and opportunities, the most important thing is that his boss can't get through!
"This Xu Fan has acted in a lot of dramas, and he has rehearsed several big plays in the Wuhan Drama Theater, and in the case of Chinese opera, it seems that it is also the pillar of the acting class, and the roles played by Xu Fan in several dramas in Chinese opera are not too small.
It's just that I went to Renyi, it seems that I only ran a few tricks, and when it comes to film and television performances, I guess I have to hone it well, and I will play the role of the female number one in the movie as soon as I come up, which is a bit out of tune! "
As soon as Director Xia's three words "out of tune" were said, Lao Zheng and Xiao Feng glanced at each other hotly on their faces, and they were honest, so that people looked at it too little, thinking that we had taken any benefit from others, Lao Zheng simply patted Xiao Feng's shoulder and laughed at himself,
"Next time, don't pull me with this kind of goosebump structure, I said that Xu Fan has no experience in film and television acting, and it is definitely not possible to play the number one female in the movie at once, you don't believe in evil, this will make Lao Xia see a joke!"
Xiao Feng's face was red, scratching his head and said, "It's okay for the second female and the third female, it's just the fullness of the lines and plot design, don't make it a passerby, I can also be regarded as having an explanation to Lao Zhao!" ”
"Mr. Cheng, Mr. An, does the producer have any suitable candidates for the female number one?" Director Xia took the initiative to ask.
"Mr. An said, I just brought an ear to listen, it is best if it is suitable, if it is not suitable, we will continue to look for it!" The husband is not very old, but he has a lot of experience, and he knows that as a producer and producer, he has to speak more forcefully at the end of the filming.
"If you are the female number one, we recommend the company's signed artist Jiang Shan!" The quiet words made Lao Zheng and Xiao Feng smash their glasses.
"Hey, I said Mr. An, why haven't you seen you for a few days, your company's signed artists are all over the street, isn't Jiang Shan and Xiao Ye acting in "It's Enjoyable", why does she have to get involved in "Big Horn"?
And when did she become a signed artist of your company? You can't give all the roles to your own contracted artists, right? "Lao Zheng is not happy this time.
"Let's think about it, Jiang Shan's appearance and temperament are good, and she and the male number one are playing opposite each other in "Let's Enjoy", and there is nothing to say about the cooperation and tacit understanding between the two.
In this case, why not strike while the iron is hot, and use this pair of screen lovers in the big speaker, when the time comes, the TV series and movies will help each other and promote the highlights, and the two dramas will definitely be popular! Quietly and unhurriedly.
"Lao Xia, you have something to say, the director of you is a mud bodhisattva, no matter how she rubs and pinches it, right?" Xiao Feng was a little anxious, and pointed the finger at director Xiagang, who was looking down at Jiang Shan's profile and photo.
"I think this girl has a good temperament and appearance, but it is quite in line with the image of the female number one in "Big Horn", you look at the photos, this girl actually has a bit of a melancholy literary and artistic youth atmosphere, but I don't know how to act, I think you can try the mirror first!" Xiagang fell in love with Jiang Shan in the photo.
