Chapter 310: Dimensional North America
Lee Jin has been running for a long time in Los Angeles, especially in places like the Screen Actors Guild near Hollywood.
He was busy with the selection of actors for "Demacia: Glory", and this matter was a task assigned to him by the headquarters.
Speaking of Li Zhen, he was also a top student studying abroad, graduated from a prestigious school in the United States, and entered 'Wedo Entertainment' after returning to China.
At the beginning, he worked in the marketing department as a subordinate of Wu Jingtong. Later, because of his excellent work attitude and work ability, and he also made a lot of achievements, he was photographed back to the United States by the company and took charge of the 'Wedo North America' branch, and his main job was to be directly responsible for the promotion of Wedo Entertainment's works throughout North America.
At the same time, 'Dimension North America' will also be responsible for some work in South America, but its influence in South America is very weak.
Since he moved to the United States and is based in Los Angeles, the content of his work has gradually changed.
He did start working on the content promotion of 'Dimension Entertainment', and the most important part was the promotion of the game "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" in the North American market, and he has always maintained contact with the publisher Activision.
But later, as the head office paid more and more attention to the North American market, his work content became more complicated from the beginning of just marketing, and even a lot of sales and business cooperation work also asked him to come.
At first, he was more or less in a hurry, but later, as he accumulated more and more experience, he also found that he was more and more handy.
He also recruited a lot of employees in the United States, including people of all ethnicities; The company's headquarters has also transferred a lot of people, and the shelves of 'Dimension North America' are getting bigger and bigger.
Today, they have surpassed Wedo Japan to become the largest branch of Wedo Group outside Chinese mainland, with more than 60 employees.
After recruiting so many people and setting up such a big shelf, they have finally made some achievements.
They collaborated with Activision on the promotion and maintenance of "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2"; sold the rights to some of the old works of Wedo Entertainment in the North American market; The rights to the North American screening, CD, and on-demand of the first part of "Hell Apartment" have been sold, and the upper TV series of "Martial Arts Grandmaster" has also been successfully sold......
For example, for the film project of Dimension Entertainment, there is the work of finding and contacting actors, which is also done by Li Zhen.
For example, the villain of "Martial Arts Grandmaster: War" 'No. 18' is Li Zhen personally led people to talk to Henry. Cavill talked about it after contact.
After the preparation of the project "Demacia: Glory" began, he received a call from Fan Zhe across the ocean, saying that he would also be appointed as one of the executive producers of the film "Demacia: Glory", and was responsible for looking for suitable actors in North America.
At the same time, in the phone call, Fan Zhe also said that after a while, he will fly to Los Angeles with the director of the film, Liu Minghui, to watch the audition in person and meet with the relevant actors.
Immediately after the phone call, Fan Zhe sent him an email, which contained a lot of information about the project, especially Zhu Zonggong's role list and the requirements for these roles.
For most of the roles, the roles are not very important, the salary budget given is average, and the requirements for fame and coffee positions are not high, so it is easier to find. In the days that Li Zhen has been in the United States, he has also accumulated some contacts and cooperative relationships, and he has easily found a lot of suitable actors.
Among them, there is one more famous, who is the actor of the villain Urgart.
Li Zhen contacted a British actor named Conan. Stevens. He once played the role of 'Magic Mountain' in the first season of "Game of Thrones".
It should not be bad for him to be the executor of Urgart, a powerful Noxian Noxian.
But for the rest, there are two very important roles that he is a little uncertain about.
One is Laxana. The Crownguard, or 'Lady of Radiance. Lux', the other is Galen. Corona.
The two siblings of the crown guard family, according to Fan Zhe's meaning, are ready to use white Western actors.
In fact, as a whole, the movie "Demacia: Glory", although it is of out-and-out Chinese descent from investment to production company, is very international in the selection of actors.
Originally, Li Zhen thought that Galen's actor should be the main focus, after all, this will be one of the two male protagonists of the movie. Relatively speaking, the time for Lux to appear in the movie is very small, and I don't know if there are ten minutes in total.
But unexpectedly, in the follow-up communication with Fan Zhe, Fan Zhe asked him to find Lux's actors, and he asked for a lot of requirements.
One is good shape. I want a blonde, sunny and beautiful appearance, and the kind of girl who looks very kind and strong; Second, there are also certain requirements for acting skills.
That's all, that's easy to find.
But in addition, there are some requirements: the popularity does not need to be too high, but it must require a long-term contract, and the salary increase is in the contract, which must be strictly controlled.
Although Fan Zhe did not say it explicitly, from these requirements, Li Zhen also has his own guess: it is estimated that this is prepared for the sequel in the future, and even, if it is not good, it is possible to shoot 'Radiant Girl. Lux's independent films. If you don't sign the agreement in advance, and when you go back and finish filming the first part, it will become popular, and the second part will immediately open your mouth and ask for a salary of millions of dollars, isn't that a joke?
The increase in remuneration that should be there is something that people deserve; But after finishing the movie, with the help of this role, the salary will be crazy, and then you can't play.
Signing a long-term contract naturally has its meaning.
Even not just Lux, including Galen's actors, had the same demand. It's just that Galen's actors should choose Hollywood actors who are currently more famous.
With these requirements, Li Zhen has been running for a long time.
actress, he found five or six alternatives, and at the same time pulled a list, in which there were dozens of actresses who were not very famous, just waiting for Fan Zhe to come back and pick them again.
But the actor of 'Galen' is quite difficult to find.
Chris. Hemsworth, Chris. Evans, Charlie. Hannum, Ryan. Gosling ......
He searched for this series of names.
There are people who directly refuse when they hear that they are going to China to make a movie, and there are lions who open their mouths and open their mouths for tens of millions of dollars; As soon as I heard that I was going to sign a multi-film contract, I didn't talk about it at all......
The whole initial contact was very unsmooth.
But in the end, there were actors who accepted his initial offer - at least a tendency to continue talking.
Chris. Evans, Marvel's superhero movie, Captain America Steve Brown. Played by Rogers.
