Chapter 135: Casting Puzzle
The process of the Guapi meeting is very brief.
After the meeting, have a meal, and the day is dispersed.
The reason why it is so short is that this matter should not be delayed for too long, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered.
So.
After the meeting that day, the next day, everyone left Mishima.
Guan Mingyuan and Fu Yiming also followed Zhang Yang back to Xuanyu in Haihua.
It just so happened that the two of them were accompanied by legal personnel this time.
As soon as the legal counsel of the two parties met, they learned about the specific content of the contract negotiated by the two parties, and soon drafted a complete film and television contract.
There are many terms in the contract though.
But the core content is mainly about the exclusive broadcast rights of "Boxing Town Mountains and Rivers".
Filmed by Xuanyu with an investment of 1 billion, with a total of 24 episodes, Watermelon Video purchased the exclusive broadcast right at a unit price of 62 million per episode, and the liquidated damages were set twice, that is, 3 billion!
The specific time requirement is before the Spring Festival this year.
Soon, both parties read the contract, confirmed that it was correct, signed and sealed it on the spot, and then kept it in duplicate.
Originally, this kind of film and television contract involving a large amount of money is best to hold a ceremony such as a signing meeting to warm up for the promotion of the work.
But Fu and Guan were in a bit of a hurry, so it was not held.
Airport entrance.
"The signing meeting will not be held, but the news will be released, and you will cooperate with us and make an official announcement together."
Fu Yiming reminded.
The price of the drama "Boxing Town Mountains and Rivers" is the most expensive TV series that Watermelon Video has bought since its establishment, involving more than one billion funds.
"Preparations for this drama start as soon as possible, and the sooner the filming is finished, the sooner it will be launched."
Guan Mingyuan also reminded.
The dramas on the contract of the Guapi Club are all mediocre in his opinion.
"Boxing Town Mountains and Rivers" is the most important drama in the second half of the year, and whether the watermelon video can maintain the popularity of the first half of the year in the second half of the year depends on it.
"Don't worry, Xuanyu has a permanent shooting team, and as soon as the script is written, I will start casting immediately, and if it goes well, I will be able to start shooting soon."
Zhang Yang agreed quickly.
After chatting in the teahouse, he had already called Li Xiaoqiang and asked him to bring someone to write the script.
There are not many chapters in the original book.
Li Xiaoqiang has written so many popular scripts, and he has dozens of screenwriters, and he will be able to write them soon.
"That's good."
The two nodded reassuringly.
"The flight is about to take off, let's go first, you must shoot this drama well!"
On the occasion of parting, Fu Yiming said another word of advice uneasily.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Yang waved his hand and turned around in a dashing manner.
......
......
Back in Xuanyu, Zhang Yang turned around and went to the training department.
The Xuanyu Training Department is managed by Lin Xiaohan, which is mainly responsible for recruiting actors, cultivating trainees, and equipping the company's actors with agents, looking for newcomers, selecting scripts and other actor-related work.
It is equivalent to an actor agency outside.
The training department has a special training venue, and the Huahai Building, where Xuanyu is located, is an office building after all, which is not suitable for the needs of the training department.
So the training department rented a space in another place in Haihua.
I also invited a lot of dance, singing, and acting skills to improve the actors, and related professionals came to tutor and educate these newcomers.
But after all, this department was founded and established for a short time, so so so far there are only three actors who have officially signed contracts and debuted in the training department: Fan Leizhou, Li Ang, and Tang Jing, and the rest are amateurs or recent graduates in society.
These people are the potential seedlings tapped by the special talent scouts of the training department.
Other aspects are not clear, but at least they are good in appearance, in line with the aesthetics of the current era.
Zhang Yang is here to prepare to select actors for the drama "Fist Town Mountains and Rivers", and see if there are suitable candidates.
There are not many other roles in "Boxing Town Mountains and Rivers", and the most important role is the actor - Li Hansha.
If Li Hansha acts well, the whole drama will be brilliant by three points.
But in Zhang Yang's view, many actors in the circle cannot play the role of Li Hansha well.
In the original book, Li Hansha is a young man, and he is dedicated to the Tao, and he has no nostalgia for the world.
He doesn't care at all about power, wealth, money, beauty, and other things that people in the world expect to have, he just wants to explore the mysteries of the human body and pursue the ultimate in martial arts.
There are many such sentences in the original book to describe.
For example, when introducing Li Hansha's background.
Li Hansha was born in a prominent background, he was born in the compound of the military region since he was a child, his grandfather is a general, his father is also a general, he is very influential, he was originally born with a golden key, but his personality has been different since he was a child, wealth is like floating clouds, fame and fortune are dung.
The only thing he likes is martial arts.
Since he was a child, he has set a goal, and the only goal of his life is to pursue the highest level of martial arts, and he has a firm heart for 18 years.
In his opinion, everything except martial arts is a waste of time.
When Li Hansha and Yu Beiyao were chatting.
Yu Beiyao teased him and said that it was interesting to him, but Li Hansha was not moved at all, and said calmly: "I will not have any love between men and women in my life, the love between men and women, killing nature, only mediocre people will indulge." ”
When Li Hansha was threatened with his master's life.
The black-clothed senior brother threatened him: "Are you really ignoring Master's safety?" ”
"The people of my generation will not be involved by anyone, the law should be abandoned, let alone illegal? Master's temperament you know, if my guess was right, he would have died a long time ago, and he would not have let himself fall into the hands of man. If the martial arts are not completed, you can be humiliated, and the martial arts are complete, standing in the world, how can the backbone be broken? Li Hansha no longer has any emotion when he speaks, he is no longer a human at this moment, as if the gods of heaven have descended to earth, he is not stained with vulgar dust, and he will not be bound by anything.
......
These are all sentences from the original book.
From these sentences, we can know that the character of Li Hansha created by the divine machine is not at all in anything that will affect his martial arts cultivation.
Threats, the love of men and women, money, power, wealth, and status are all like garbage, and they can't get into his eyes at all.
Li Hansha is a god who pursues martial arts, not a human!
He didn't have any other emotional desires, only martial arts in his eyes.
is such a character, and he is not very old, who can play these young actors in the circle, and who can play Li Hansha's charm?
Anyway, Zhang Yang has seen it since he was a child, and now there is not a single young actor!
Not to mention, those young actors who have appeared recently.
Many of them can't bear any hardship, they look white and tender, with all kinds of tidying up, no acting skills, no dedication, and they can't remember their lines, and many young actors don't have anything commendable except for relying on a good-looking skin to eat.
This kind of actor, do you call him to play Li Hansha?
I'm afraid he will give you a performance of a dead fish with a paralyzed face, without any sense of desirelessness and love!
Therefore, Zhang Yang came to the training department and wanted to try to see if he could find suitable actors from the company's newcomers.
But he didn't get much hopeful.
If the training department really has this kind of talent, Lin Xiaohan came up in the morning and arranged his debut, so he didn't have to wait for him to come back at all.
Zhang Yang just came to see, there is the best, and he didn't think of any other way!
