Chapter 140: Preparation
"It's all the result of her hard work."
"Well, this girl really works weekdays."
The two walked outside, and Manager Wang followed behind Zhang Yang: "I will arrange an agent for her immediately, and after the notice is issued, I will arrange for her to report to the crew." ”
"You can arrange this kind of trivial matter, and sign a new contract with her."
Xuanyu has formulated different levels of contracts for actors internally.
These contracts are very advantageous to the actors in terms of economy and conditions, and in terms of money and commission, Zhang Yang gives a few percentage points higher than the industry standard contracts.
Of course, these conditions are not set in stone.
During the contract period, depending on the actor's own development, the salary and commission will also change, not always the same number, and there is no requirement that the conditions must expire before the replacement is allowed.
However, the cost is generally based on long-term contracts, generally more than five to ten years, and the compensation for breach of contract is also very high.
After all, his plays are all large-scale productions, and the investment is much larger than more than 90% of the dramas outside, and it is easy to make an actor popular.
It's impossible, Xuanyu trained the actors, and it didn't take long for people to poach them, isn't that a capital enemy?
Zhang Yang will not let this happen.
"Also, there's something I want to tell you."
When he arrived at the door, Zhang Yang remembered the group of people he had just met and put forward his opinions.
"These newcomers are too ordinary, they don't have distinctive characteristics, they are all good-looking fresh meat actors, it's okay to play that kind of vase role, but it's not good for some roles, this has to be changed."
"Tell those scouts, tall, short, fat and thin, men, women and children, as long as there is a suitable one, you can dig it up, don't always stick to newcomers and good-looking, all kinds of types must be available."
"Take a long-term view, don't always stare at young people, after all, many talents are buried in the bottom, and you must have a pair of eyes for discovery."
"Like Fan Leizhou is a very good example."
The three people in "Dragon and Snake 1" are all buried talents, Tang Jing, Fan Leizhou, and Li Ang are all actors with their own characteristics, but they lack opportunities.
Although the people in the training department are all good-looking, they are the same, and their appearance is high, but they do not have the unique temperament that the audience can remember at a glance.
In the Dragon Kingdom entertainment circle, there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of young people who devote themselves to acting every year, most of which are similar to these young people in the training department, but there are very few young actors who can really break out of them, because they themselves have no characteristics that are difficult for others to copy.
Compared with this type of actor, a person like Fan Leizhou is what he needs most.
The two chatted and chatted, and then they came to the side of the car, Zhang Yang sat in the back seat, opened the car door and said lightly to Manager Wang who was standing on the side: "You know Wang Bao, right?" He started from a trick and was dug out to get to his current position, and his unique temperament is something that many actors can't play. ”
Wang Bao is now a very famous actor in the Dragon Kingdom.
Although he is not handsome, and even a little ugly in appearance, Wang Bao has his own unique characteristics such as rural people, honesty, and martial arts skills.
There are many roles that only need him to perform Shen Yun.
For example, Mr. Tree, if you change to the training department, these people will definitely not be able to act.
"You can discuss with Mr. Lin and change the current excavation strategy, you know?"
Zhang Yang did not reprimand, his tone was very flat, but Manager Wang was a little frightened.
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Manager Wang's forehead, and he said cautiously: "I know, I'll have a meeting later, and I'll rectify it well." ”
"Well, that's fine, you can go back."
......
The next few days.
With the help of dozens of screenwriters, Li Xiaoqiang quickly handed in a qualified script.
After all, the original work is relatively short, and Li Hansha and some of his previous experiences are not clearly written, and several characters appear very rarely.
In this script, some supporting roles are appropriately strengthened, and Li Hansha's background is also described at a deeper level, making the whole play more substantial.
After Zhang Yang reviewed it, he felt that the script had passed the test, and immediately began to form a crew.
There are thousands of people in Xuanyu, and there are them in various departments.
The basic personnel structure of a crew, as long as there are scenes to film, can be prepared quickly.
Lighting, camera, props, makeup artist, all of which are available, and the only thing lacking is the visual effects director and martial arts talent.
Although Peng Zulong has cooperated with Zhang Yang in every play, he has Chen Jiaban behind him, as well as his master Chen Zihao, Zhang Yang has invited him several times, but he has not joined Xuanyu, but he just promised that when Zhang Yang wants to film, he will give priority to entering the group.
Therefore, Zhang Yang didn't pull him into the company, but just called him when he was building the group and asked if he had time.
With the beautiful martial arts action design in "Dragon Snake" and "Covering the Sky", Peng Zulong has now become famous, and many crews have invited him.
However, as soon as Zhang Yang called, he immediately turned down other invitations, and rushed to Haihua with a group of people from the Chen family class to join the crew of "Boxing Town Mountains and Rivers".
In addition, although "Boxing Town Mountains and Rivers" is a national art drama, the battles in it are not the kind of physical combat that is fist-to-flesh, and there are many special effects.
Thunder Tribulation, Gang Qi, and External Power all have to be expressed with special effects, so a huge special effects team is also needed.
And it takes a long time to make special effects.
But don't forget that there is also a Rakuten video card there, and Luo Yong did not send out specific news, only said that he was still investigating, although the news of the sale was released, but Boss Jia did not come forward, and the specific time could not be determined.
Therefore, the filming time of this drama is very tight, and Zhang Yang wants to finish the filming as much as possible before Lotte sells it and raise 6 billion funds as soon as possible.
Therefore, Zhang Yang directly found eight major domestic special effects companies to be stationed in the group, and at the same time changed the traditional shooting method of the Dragon Kingdom, using the method of cutting out an episode directly, and then immediately sending the finished film over to make special effects to speed up the progress.
In this way, from the time the script was released, in just a few days, the formation of the crew of "Fist Town Mountains and Rivers" was directly completed.
The rest of the props, costumes, and music are handled by personnel from various departments of Xuan Yu, and Zhang Yang only cares about filming.
At the same time, when the script was determined, Xuanyu also began to look for actors.
In the past, the casting work was the responsibility of Xuanyu himself.
However, this time, Zhang Yang handed over the casting work to a film and television company called Dongyang Casting, which specializes in casting film and television works.
This company has connections with many brokerage companies, and under the flamboyant money offensive, a large number of actors were quickly called, and a primary selection was conducted directly according to the script, and a group of actors with good conditions in all aspects were selected in addition to high salaries, and there were a lot of old drama bones and the like.
Just wait for Zhang Yang to form the crew and then conduct a round of re-examination.
......
Dongyang Film and Television Company.
For three consecutive days, Zhang Yang, as the director, was also the chief examiner of the re-examination in the actor audition stage, and he was so busy that he didn't touch the ground before he determined the specific cast list of "Fist Town Mountains and Rivers".
The characters with names and surnames in the original book are all selected from well-known characters in China, and each face is an actor who often appears on the screen, and the audience in the Dragon Kingdom can recognize the kind at a glance.
The rest is because some scenes have been expanded in the script, and there are some roles, and it is not difficult to find extras.
Soon, the actor's audition work ended, and because of the selection of many big-name actors in the whole show, the salary alone was 140 million, and a lot of other messy ones were also spent, and the bulk was divided by the eight major special effects companies.
Meanwhile.
On the second day after determining the list of actors, Peng Zulong took Chen Jiaban and the visual effects personnel of the eight major special effects companies, props, makeup, art, etc., all of which were also in place!
After everything was ready, Zhang Yang immediately rushed to the Zhudian Film and Television Base with a huge crew, arranged the hotel, contacted the accommodation, determined the shooting venue, and completed the whole process at a very fast speed!
At this point, the preliminary preparations of the crew are all ready!
