Chapter 633: Audition
The next day, Li Xiangping drove from Wudaokou to Huajiadi, and brought Zhao Daokai first.
"Painter Zhao, what about your new work, I said that it will be delivered once every six months at the latest, you won't release my pigeons, right?"
"Yes, yes," hearing Li Xiangping mention this stubble, Zhao Daokai smiled at the time:
"You are now my biggest financier, no, no, the only financier, you are actually my only financier now, so how dare I release your pigeon, the old work has already been completed, just waiting for you to inspect it, I won't tell you, I'm actually preparing a new work now, but this new work, I have to say hello to you in advance."
Li Xiangping Qi said:
"Haven't you already talked about it, as long as it is your Zhao Da painter's work, I will purchase it at a fixed price, and I will not interfere with your creation, you can paint whoever you like, why do you have to say hello to me in advance?"
Zhao Daokai smiled: "Hehe, because the next model is different, I have to squeak with you in advance, and I am thinking about it now, you have to give me a proper mention of the purchase price of the next work." ”
Li Xiangping's eyes widened: "It was Liu Tianxian who delivered the goods last time, right, the next one should be Da Meiyuan, right?" So who are you going to draw next? Also raising the price? Can you find even better beauties to use as models? ”
Zhao Daokai laughed: "Although my next model is not the best beauty, you must raise the price, because she is your daughter-in-law." ”
"Ahh Cai Shanshan? She, when did she promise to be your model? ”
Zhao Daokai continued to smile:
"Don't worry about what you promised, you can answer me now, should the price of this painting be raised, can the price be raised?"
"Nonsense, of course not," Li Xiangping refused almost without thinking:
"You just said it yourself, and she is not the best beauty, so why should I raise the price? In addition, you said it yourself, I am now your only financier, in this case, what else do you say, do you do business, such as a fake buyer's market, why does the pricing power belong to you. ”
"Hehe," Zhao Daokai continued to look like a hanger:
"I said Li Daqisheng, what you said just now, but it is to the point, you are now my only financier, I think how can this work, so I have long wanted to develop new customers, and my next work, there will definitely be new customers."
"New customer? Who? ”
"Who else could it be, of course, your daughter-in-law herself," Zhao Daokai laughed:
"Li Daguan, don't forget, although you are a local tyrant, but your daughter-in-law is also a big money, if you refuse to raise the price, then I just need to tell your daughter-in-law about this matter, saying that her portrait, the purchase price you gave is actually the same as others, then you see if she will be in a hurry with you, maybe even if the price doubles at that time, she will not hesitate to make her own move."
Li Xiangping was stunned: "Damn, you kid actually hit this idea, profiteer." ”
"Traitor or not, you will tell me now, do you want to raise the price?"
"Fuck off, we'll talk about that later."
The two chatted all the way, and soon came to Zhao Jiadong's company, looking at the office building that is still a little shabby, Li Xiangping suddenly sighed, Zhao Jiadong is just starting out now, so he has no influence in their circle, and he himself is honestly afraid.
In less than 10 years, about 15 years in real history, Zhao Jiadong has become one of the top bigwigs in the domestic entertainment industry-------
Everyone knows what the six big and seven big Hollywood have, in fact, in the domestic entertainment industry after 15 years, there are also similar companies in China, but because the domestic entertainment industry has just started, the history is not long, and the replacement is very fast, so there is no such statement in China.
And the biggest feature of this kind of company is actually to control the distribution of resources in the entire entertainment industry.
In China, don't look at the tens of thousands of film and television media companies of all kinds, but there are never more than 10 that can be put on the table, and all other small and medium-sized companies are co-investors.
Later, Zhao Jiadong became one of the real resource allocators, to be honest, Li Xiangping knew the situation of his family very well, which means that Aunt Liao could still suppress them, otherwise whether it was Zhao Jiadong or Zhao Daokai, they didn't know what would happen.
Well, Zhao Jiadong has just come out of the system, so he is still relatively pure, and he is still thinking about how to make a good company, shoot a few more good dramas, and contribute to the prosperity of our country's entertainment industry.
When Li Xiangping entered Zhao Jiadong's office, Zhao Jiadong looked surprised:
"Xiangping is here? I happened to be looking for you, come on, let me ask you a question......."
When Zhao Jiadong finished talking about his question, Li Xiangping was a little dumbfounded:
"Zhao, Uncle Zhao, what did you say?" The people of Ding'an have not arrived, but the chess has already arrived first", what kind of chess did Fan Xiping see, he knew that this must be Shi Xiangxia's play, which ...... How do I know this? ”
Of course Li Xiangping didn't know.
You must know that the stalk that the two just talked about, this is actually just a folklore, but considering that this stalk is more interesting and can also highlight the image of Hu Zhaolin's iron head brother, it was compiled into the script.
However, this folklore has no relevant chess games to circulate, so no matter how high Li Xiangping's level is, no matter how familiar he is with Lao Shi, it is impossible for him to know what kind of chess it is.
"Of course I know it's just a legend, that's why I asked you for help,"
Zhao Jiadong smiled at Li Xiangping:
"Xiangping, see if you can think of a specific chess shape, which can be reasonably explained As soon as Fan Xiping saw this chess shape, he knew that this move, or this chess shape, must have come from Shi Xiangxia's hand."
"Hey, Uncle Zhao, ....... you?"
When he said this, Li Xiangping didn't continue to speak, but couldn't help but think about the question raised by Zhao Jiadong: What kind of chess pattern will this be?
Just as Li Xiangping was thinking, Zhao Jiadong's voice came again:
"Xiangping, didn't you tell me, in fact, you Go people, and many senior Go enthusiasts, actually have a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, right?"
Li Xiangping smiled: "I said it casually, why did Uncle Zhao believe it?" ”
"Hehe, in fact, I really believe it, because the obsessive-compulsive disorder in your mouth, according to my understanding, is actually some people who are usually more meticulous and rigorous, and are more serious when encountering things, right?"
Li Xiangping smiled silently when he heard this, and listened to Zhao Jiadong continue, and sure enough, Zhao Jiadong sighed and continued:
"The reason why I even pick out this kind of detail, I won't tell you, in fact, I just want to please this group, Xiangping, think about it, if this big country is really filmed, which group will be interested in this drama in the first place?"
Li Xiangping laughed when he heard it, and by this time, he almost understood what Zhao Jiadong meant.
There is no doubt that because Go is a niche after all, this "big player" is really filmed, even if she will broadcast it on CCTV in prime time, the first to pay attention to this drama must be Go fans.
Go fans will not only pay attention first, but in the early stage after the broadcast, most of the comments or discussions will basically come from this group.
Therefore, the reputation of this drama is determined by a group of Go fans.
Whether it is rave reviews or full of slots after the broadcast is mainly to see what Go fans will say.
In this case, if we take into account the "obsessive-compulsive" attribute of most chess fans, then this kind of detail-picking approach is very necessary.
Because Li Xiangping put himself in his shoes, if he watched this drama as a chess fan, if he saw that there was even an explanation for the problem of "Ding'an people have not arrived, but chess has already arrived first", he would feel that this drama was really good, and the producer was very attentive and serious.
If this question can be explained reasonably, then as a Go fan, you will feel that this drama is quite level and full of force.
"Okay Uncle Zhao, I understand what you mean, don't worry, leave this matter to me, I will definitely help you think of a reasonable chess move."
"Okay, okay, you are an expert in Go, and this kind of technical thing has to be handed over to your experts to do, but Xiangping, as soon as possible."
Li Xiangping casually agreed, he didn't think too much about it at this time, he always felt that there should be no difficulty in this matter, especially Lao Shi was there, if he really didn't work, he could ask himself, so after taking over this matter, Li Xiangping began to ask about other things, especially about Lao Shi's casting.
When it came to this matter, Zhao Jiadong frowned on the spot, and began to sigh:
"Alas! This candidate for the first leading role, now it seems that it is the biggest difficulty for the entire crew, we have tried more than ten actors, but we didn't find a suitable one, this matter is Wang Lao is in charge of the check, now even he is a little hesitant, considering whether to lower the standard, or choose two actors, play the young Shi Xiangxia and the prime Shi Xiangxia or something, this is not ......."
Speaking of this, Zhao Jiadong looked at his watch:
"Half an hour later, another group of actors will come over to audition, why don't you take a look at it together?"
"Okay, okay, let's take a look and let's take a look......."
Although after seeing the professionalism of Old Man Wang and Director Qiu, Li Xiangping has made up his mind not to get involved in Lao Shi's casting, but no matter how he says it, it is also his own plug-in, Li Xiangping feels that it is no problem to watch the excitement on the side.
So after sitting in Zhao Jiadong's office for a while, waiting for the old man Wang, Director Qiu and others to come over, Li Xiangping followed the army to another room to see how they auditioned.
After arriving on the ground, Li Xiangping found out that today was an audition with makeup, and the three young actors had changed into ancient costumes.
Li Xiangping is not familiar with the film and television industry, so he doesn't know any of the three actors today.
Not only did he not know him, but today's audition was very short, only more than an hour from start to finish, and then Zhao Jiadong politely asked the three of them to "wait for notice".
As soon as the three of them left, Li Xiangping couldn't wait to turn on the spit mode--------
Of course, his impatience can be understood, you must know that Lao Shi is his plug-in, it is not an exaggeration to say that the current Lao Shi has become a part of his soul, in this case, seeing that others can't show the charm of his soul at all, Li Xiangping feels that he is already polite if he doesn't scold his mother.
Maybe it was his complaining that annoyed others, Director Qiu suddenly said:
"Xiangping, it's still early anyway, why don't you change your makeup too."
"Hehe, okay, don't you just change your makeup, just try it."
The clothes were ready-made, and the props were also ready-made, so Li Xiangping's makeup didn't take long.
When he walked out of the dressing room in an ancient costume, both Old Man Wang and Director Qiu were all dazzled.
Old man Wang's eyes widened even more:
"Like! It's so similar! That's right, this is the image of the ancient chess saint in my mind. ”
