The company was created, the first time to shoot a drama, everything was the first time, and it was really not a simple matter for Zhang Yang.

The first thing he thinks about is making a movie or a TV series?

In the end, I chose the form of a TV series!

Why?

According to the system's experience value calculation method, the method of gaining experience by making movies is obviously much faster than making TV series.

But there is a problem, Zhang Yang actually wants to shoot a fantasy story first and tell it well and in detail.

Obviously, in order to achieve this goal, TV series will be more convenient!

He plans to shoot the drama Romance of the Dragon and Snake in seasons, with 12 episodes per season, and all the funds will be used by the producer of the series to create scenes and plots that are more in line with the original work.

In the drama Romance of the Dragon and Snake, in the first season, he was only ready to shoot the part where Wang Chao and Zhang Wei of the Guangdong Three Tigers fought on a cruise ship, and just finished filming a climax, and this season is enough to present the dangerous world of national arts in the book in front of the audience, which is enough to attract the audience's interest.

If the response is good enough and the experience points are enough, he will continue to shoot the second season, the third season, and all the way to the end, and if it is not good enough, the rest of the plot will wait.

The content of the first season seems to be only a small part of the book, but there are also many characters in it, the most important of which is the male protagonist Wang Chao, followed by the female protagonist Tang Zichen, and then Zhao Xinglong, Zhang Tong, Captain Cao and other supporting roles.

is different from general TV series, in this drama, the heroine actually appears relatively rarely, especially according to the filming content he expected, at most 1.2 episodes.

The characters who really appeared more throughout the first season of the whole drama are four people, Wang Chao, Zhang Tong, Captain Cao, Zhu Jia, and the others are some small supporting roles.

And among these four characters, except for Wang Chao, no one else will appear in every episode, but will only appear in the middle or later paragraph.

Therefore, when Zhang Yang was preparing for the crew to recruit actors, the role of Wang Chao must be selected well, this is the top priority, it doesn't matter if the other roles are a little worse, just perform the momentum of the martial arts people.

As long as Wang Chao plays well, the whole drama will be good!

But the role of Wang Chao is very difficult, at the beginning he was just an ordinary high school student, and after he learned martial arts in the middle, the street slicker posture of grabbing hooligan money, and the martial arts master posture of Yuanyue Yuezhi when he competed in martial arts later, there were many changes in it, and it was very challenging to play.

From what he has seen, there are almost no young actors in the entire entertainment industry who can play the role of Wang Chao.

The popular entertainment circles in the Dragon Kingdom are all small fresh meat, and it is too difficult for them to play Wang Chao, and the cost of tens of millions at every turn, even if Zhang Yang has 50 million in hand now, he can't afford it.

He is ready to spend most of this money on special effects, martial arts fingers, props, etc., how can there be so much money for Xiao Xianrou!

"That's the problem now, what do you say?"

"There are some small actors in my company, but if you really want them to play the role of Wang Chao, I'm afraid it won't work, first of all, it doesn't fit Wang Chao's temperament!"

In the Xuanyu Film and Television Office, Wang Fei thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a good solution.

He read the novel Dragon and Snake from Zhang Yang overnight, and he liked it very much and didn't want to smash the novel.

"We are starting out now, and we don't know anything about the industry, just have money, how to do it without actors, and it doesn't matter if some other small roles are done, but if we continue to shoot later, not only Wang Chao, but also characters like Tang Zichen, who have a large length in the later stage, must also be selected well, and they can't be selected randomly, but it will mess up the reputation, and when the drama is not filmed well, the investor will withdraw his capital."

"Makes sense."

Zhang Yang nodded, the problem that Wang Fei said did exist.

He doesn't worry about investors, but actors are really important, follow-up episodes still need to be used, and they can't be changed at will, even if the first season is not big, they must be carefully cast.

Many TV series filmed by season in Dragon Kingdom often change actors in the second season, destroying the good reputation accumulated in the first season.

In the psychology of the audience, even if the first season is poorly filmed, if there is no particularly obvious improvement in the second season, then the replacement must be a problem that has been complained about.

"The company has just been founded now, and there are no signed actors at all, one is not famous and the other is no, I think it is better to have an actor audition on the Internet."

The two thought for a long time, and Zhang Yang thought of a solution, "Now is the Internet era, and shaking, fast feet, and broadness are all very good channels." The company pays for advertising on these software, which should have a good effect. In addition to advertising, you can talk to your parents and them, start a relationship, and contact a few celebrities and anchors who are familiar with each other and have some fans to advertise, how much it will cost me to pay, and it should be feasible to do it in a multi-pronged way. ”

Wang Fei nodded: "That's fine, the sum of several parties should also have a lot of coverage, and our Xuanyu company can also take the lead in the circle, I will arrange a few more employees to go to several domestic film and television cities to recruit a group of tricks and young actors, so it's almost the same." ”

Zhang Yang also thinks this method is very good.

"Well, we're just filming the first season, and the actors don't need too much, and the actors selected in this way are more in line with our ideas, and the asking price is cheap, which is completely enough."

......

Just do it, Zhang Yang immediately contacted several short video platforms plus Guangbo, spent millions of advertisements, plus the people Wang Fei's family found, several parties worked together, and the actor audition of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" was launched!

The whole session lasts for one month, and anyone who is interested can sign up.

The number of applicants is preliminarily screened by the company, and some external conditions are not enough, and the image is obviously not in line with the character characteristics, and there are not many people left, and finally these people will be invited to the company for a unified interview, and the actors will be finally determined.

Sure enough, millions of them were smashed, the advertisements had an effect, and a lot of splashes were splashed on the Internet, and the book "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" itself had a foundation, coupled with the platform push, the audition activities quickly rushed to the hot search list, and the popularity of the dragon and snake in the fast feet remained high.

Many bloggers who make short videos have taken advantage of the popularity to make several videos popularizing the book Dragon and Snake, which has pushed the popularity even higher, and the whole network is boiling for a while!

There are a lot of discussions, a large number of people who watch the excitement, eat melons, criticize, dig up the origin of the entertainment, and there are a lot of registered activities, and there are people who call the company's customer service department every day for consultation.

The main purpose of this audition is to recruit the characters who appear in the book with names and surnames, and some characters who will also appear in subsequent episodes.

For example, Wang Chao, Zhao Xinglong, Zhang Wei, Zhang Tong, Tang Zichen, Zhu Jia, Captain Cao, Cao Jingjing, etc., have some roles in it, and some of the remaining supporting roles, like Li Wanji, will directly find a few supporting roles in the film and television city, and add a few tricks to it.
