Chapter 350: Choosing a Role
readx;
At the end of April 2005, Wang Qinian finalized the heroine in "Rebirth Back to Ten Years Ago", not purely for the quality of the movie, but more for commercial interests. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info````
In the future, Huang Shengyi was rated as one of the new "Four Little Flowers" in the mainland, on the same level as Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and Wang Luodan. It can be seen that her future business value should not be underestimated.
Next, it is the choice of the male lead, because the leading male stars of the partner company, Li Jie, Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun, all went to Chen Jia to brush their faces in the blockbuster "Painted Skin".
Wang Qinian's small-budget movie "Reborn Back to Ten Years Ago" doesn't need them. As for the potential seedlings in the company, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng are comedy stars, and it is not suitable for them to be chosen as the protagonist of this movie.
When the actors are used, they are too few!
However, there is no one available in the company, and it is difficult for Wang Qinian! Because, the most important thing in the entertainment industry is actors, but it is just a matter of worth.
Some actors are very good, but they are already well-known in the country, and the salary will not be low. Therefore, Wang Qinian still decided to use some potential stars with relatively low prices!
In the end, Wang Qinian set his sights on younger actors - articles!
The article is a Chinese opera student in one of the three major art colleges, and has participated in three TV series, "Saving Juvenile Delinquents", "Days Related to Youth", and "Jinyiwei" during his schooling, and he is already a well-known actor.
In history, he really became famous when he participated in the TV series "Struggle", and then he began to embark on the road to first-line stardom.
But the current article is young and energetic, and he is from a professional class, has a deep acting foundation, can be qualified for many roles, and is a promising potential star.
Therefore, Wang Qinian personally went to the Chinese opera. An audition of the characters was conducted.
Naturally, the article also participated in the audition. In the end, because Wang Qinian had already had a plan, seeing that he was more qualified, he couldn't help but applaud and said: "Not bad!" Are you interested in playing the main role in my movie?! ”
"Really? I! "The article is written with excitement on the face.
"I've never told lies!" Wang Qinian said with a smile, "However, because the budget for this movie is not very large. Give you a salary of 800,000 yuan, and if it sells well, you will give dividends. What do you think? ”
"No problem!" The article knows that 800,000 yuan is by no means low for him, and at the same time. Participating in Wang Qinian's movie, a large number of actors who want to be popular are willing to pay no money, and even pay money to participate.
Next, the partner company negotiated a contract with the article, which was originally a cooperation for a movie, but the partner company was very good at fooling and directly signed the article's brokerage contract.
This is, of course, instructed by Wang Qinian. Basically. He thinks that promising artists, the little partner company will continue to attack. The brokerage contract is signed.
In the brokerage contract of the article, the ten-year period, the minimum annual income skyrocketed to 500,000 yuan. In other words, a minimum income of 5 million yuan can be obtained within 10 years. This is not a great number for some actors who have the ability to get roles and often have scenes to film. But this is only the minimum guarantee, the biggest advantage of the partner company is that there is the minimum guarantee for signing contracts with artists.
Artists with average potential also have at least employee salary protection, and this salary has skyrocketed, which is not lower than the minimum wage standard of BJ City.
As for filming and advertising, as well as other commercial activities, the remuneration is additional.
It is precisely because of the treatment of the partner company, first of all, it is stable and guaranteed, even if the artist is unsatisfactory, he will not starve to death when there is no drama to film. It is precisely for this reason that the small partner company also belongs to the conscience of the industry in the industry.
The most popular superstar may not pay attention to such a guaranteed income treatment. But for those who have not yet mixed up with the big names and the future is uncertain, this has a very big temptation.
Of course, Wang Qinian's practice of recruiting talents is actually risky, for example, if the recruited artists and directors cannot produce benefits after joining the company, but continue to lose money, which may increase the burden on the company.
The normal practice of the entertainment industry is to cooperate with artists and directors in movies first, and after that, the cooperation is relatively smooth, and only after the results are produced can the other party be persuaded to sign a long-term brokerage contract. Even if some companies have not known the potential of stars, they have signed contracts that are squeezed and insecure, for example, South Korea's trainee system, a large number of trainees have signed a large number of trainees, only food and accommodation, and some pocket money, most of the trainees who are not yet popular are even poorer than beggars.
In contrast, the contract of the partner company for the artist can be called the conscience of the industry. A potential star praised by a big man like Wang Qinian, the income from joining is not low at the beginning. And the ordinary potential stars unearthed by the company's scouts, after signing the contract, can at least skyrocket and be similar to ordinary salaried people.
……
As the main actors and crew of "Rebirth" are gradually finalized, the film will also start work on a later date. Wang Qinian did not pay attention to any auspicious days of the zodiac, but chose May 5, 2005 to start the machine.
Why? Because, on this day, there are three fives in the year, month and day, at least it is a rare day in ten years. Therefore, even if you don't pick a day, it is good to choose this day to turn on.
After the filming of the movie started, screenwriter Zhou Xingwen and others also participated in the production of the film, which can be regarded as Wang Qinian training him. Later, the screenwriting industry was mixed with a bunch of writers of online literature, and there were really many successes.
Wang Qinian decided to start this prosperous era in advance, and in addition, he also used the resources of the small partner company to open up the development space of the starting writers. Some fiction writers who are not suitable for adapting games can be guided towards animation, film and television, and so on.
Pulling Zhou Xingwen to train him, after he matures in the future, Zhou Xingwen can directly be a choreographer, and his own screenwriter Ben La invests in being a director, and he can find some skilled executive directors for actual shooting.
Many writers enter the film and television industry, all of which are such a routine. Writers may not be qualified for jobs such as directing and cinematography, but many writers who write good stories are often more able to write popular plots than professional screenwriters in the film and television industry. And some popular writers can also afford to hire qualified executive directors to make his stories into films. For example, Qiong Yao, Gu Long, Wang Shuo, Liu Meng, Guo Jingming, Han Han, and Nine Knives...... There have been more and more writers in the past, and there will be more and more writers who will become directors! Of course, every writer who becomes a director must hire a more reliable executive director, and transform his ideas into film and television.
After the film crew held the opening ceremony, reporters rushed to ask questions.
"Boss Wang, what caused you to reappear?" A reporter asked.
"This ...... I'm still very young, and I have never announced that I will wash my hands of the golden basin and quit the rivers and lakes! Wang Qinian said with a smile.
The atmosphere at the scene became very relaxed, but the media reporters were still rushing to hand over the microphone.
"It's never seemed like there'd been a film like 'Reborn Back Ten Years Ago' before, so how did you want to make this new genre?"
"I heard that you fell in love with the mute girl in "Kung Fu", and went to Xinghui Company to redeem her at a sky-high price, is there any secret between you......
A large number of media reporters rushed to ask, and the scene was out of control for a while.
Fortunately, the staff tried their best to shout: "Ask questions one by one, you ask questions together, Director Wang can't answer at all!" ”
After the persuasion of the staff, the media reporters at the scene began to calm down and obey the rules.
"Digging Huang Shengyi is a friendly negotiation between me and Xinghui Company. Xinghui has the credit for digging up Huang Shengyi, I admit that. I'm not bad for money, so I'll give money to compensate Xinghui Company and let Huang Shengyi transfer to a partner. There is no personal emotional factor, because after watching "Kung Fu", I feel that Huang Shengyi has potential, so I invited her to be the actor of my new film. As for Huang Shengyi's transfer to a partner company, it may be because of selfishness and conceit, I, as a person, always think that actors will become popular when they participate in my films! After becoming popular, my value has naturally appreciated, and in order to avoid making others a popular star, I would rather buy the brokerage contract! Wang Qinian chose a reporter's question and answered it.
"Some people say that there is a personal relationship between you, after all, Huang Shengyi is your senior sister, between seniors and senior sisters!" A reporter said unabashedly.
"Nonsense, there are so many students in Beiying, and there are so many beautiful women, do I have a leg with many beautiful girls?" Wang Qinian said with a smile, "I am a famous grass, if you want me so much, I will kneel on the keyboard when I go home!" ”
"Kneeling keyboard? Not a kneeling washboard? Someone laughed at the scene.
"My guy never does laundry, and he doesn't do housework well." Wang Qinian smiled in a warm tone, "The keyboard is my usual tool for creating scripts, she draws comics, and she also uses the computer. So, you know...... Okay, don't continue this topic, the egg hurts! Don't ask about personal emotions, gossip. What's a little bit of style, okay, ask more about career, ideals, reality or something! ”
For the sake of publicity, the press conference lasted for 4 hours.
The attendees faced questions from the media one after another, and after that, they were physically and mentally exhausted. Of course, because Wang Qinian's new film came out after two years, the media and the audience have also accumulated a lot of enthusiasm.
The film launch of "Rebirth Back to Ten Years Ago" was an unprecedented success as an interactive promotion! The budget for this movie is only 15 million yuan!
As a result, it was like a blockbuster with an investment of 1.5 billion yuan, and a bunch of media were crazy about the information of "Rebirth Back to Ten Years Ago", and made this movie a news topic for the whole society for free.
In fact, there are many topics in this movie, for example, the screenwriter of the online literature writer Zhou Xingwen, who is the originator of the rebirth genre novel, and there are already thousands of follow-up works on the Internet.
Huang Shengyi participated in "Kung Fu" as a star girl before, but as a result, she was poached by a small partner company from Xinghui Company for 8 million yuan.
Wang Qinian is afraid of rumors, because his wife at home is strict and afraid of kneeling on the washboard......
A bunch of topics have been dug deeply, and they have almost become gossip dramas.
Of course, Wang Qinian naturally likes to see this - the movie must have a topic, and no matter how good the movie is, if there is no topic before the release, the box office will be affected! (To be continued.) (。 ))
