Chapter 465: Audition for Putting Water
"Part 2 is out?"
"Just finished the first draft of the script, you can take a look."
Fang Ziheng took the document handed by Tianxia Ba Sing and turned the first page of the document.
"Ghost Blows the Lamp: Elixir"!
Ooh..
The title of this play is very awesome!
Fang Ziheng's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously smiled.
Synopsis: During the Three Kingdoms period, in order to find a way to relieve the curse among the clansmen, they searched all over the world's famous rivers and mountains to find dust beads, but found nothing.
The mountain movers learned that Cao Cao, the overlord of the Three Kingdoms, secretly planned to build a team of Captain Jin, and while touching the money for Cao Jun's tomb, he was looking for a life-prolonging elixir for Cao Cao, so he decided to join it and borrow the hand of Captain Jin to find the dust beads!
Just looking at the plot synopsis that looks up, it shows the ambition of the world's top singers, which is to learn the momentum of "Looking for the Dragon" and want to wipe out the Asian film market.
After all, Xiao Ri is the most favorite theme of the Three Kingdoms!
Yes, yes, there is a head.
Fang Ziheng nodded while watching, and unconsciously immersed himself in the script.
Good for a while.
He came back to his senses, patted the document and said with interest: "Ba Sing, the idea of the script is very good, this way is right." ”
"It is also necessary for the second part to bring the timeline forward, and it can play a vital role in creating the universe of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
"You and the Literary Screenwriting Department continue to improve the script, and strive to set up the project next year and release it the year after!"
It has been more than two years since the release of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon", and it is time to prepare for the second part.
If the second part can be released in 2016, there will be an interval of four years, which just hits the psychology of the audience.
In four years, the first "Looking for the Dragon" and four "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" TV series are enough to accumulate a large number of hardcore fans and drama fans.
After receiving the praise, Tianxia Ba Sing looked overjoyed, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, the chairman, I will go all out to improve the script as soon as possible." ”
He has been coming to Hengyu for a few days, he is the deputy director, his work is easy, and he has nothing to say about his salary.
Many of the writer friends he had made at the starting point in the past asked him if he wanted anyone else in the literary screenwriting department.
At the end of last year, three more starting point platinum students joined Hengyu as writers and became part of the literary screenwriting department.
For Hengyu, the world is really satisfied!
When the time was close to noon, Guo Fan and Tianxia Ba Sing declined Fang Ziheng's invitation to have lunch together, and left very clearly.
Fang Ziheng looked at the time, came to the desk and turned on the computer.
The box office data for the new week is out, and at the end of August, the box office trend is completely less strong than last month.
This week's weekly crown was taken away by the Hollywood animated movie "How to Train Your Dragon 2", with 165 million in the first weekend and four days.
The film also won the 72nd Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Film, which is called a first-class movie.
However, the mainland does not eat foreign cartoons, and the total box office of "How to Train Your Dragon 2" will not be too high, at most more than 300 million.
The second place is "I Am Not the God of Medicine", which was released for 38 days, and still got 45 million box office this week, with a total box office of 3.1 billion.
Become the undisputed first in Chinese film history!
According to the time given by the Film Bureau, the movie can still be screened for 8 days, even if it continues to dive, the box office is still stable.
In addition, Concubine Lin secretly told Fang Ziheng a good news last night, and the State Food and Drug Administration was preparing to start a routine inspection of Nahua.
This kind of inspection, almost as soon as it is checked, depends on whether the matter is big or not, and how big it wants to be.
Oh Hua, this time I have to lose a piece of meat!
"Small Times 3" ranked third this week, only getting 35 million box office in seven days, and the total box office reached 700 million, living up to the popularity when it was first released.
Fan movies are fan movies after all, after the first two weeks, the potential is exhausted, although it can still be released for 10 days, there is no hope of hitting 800 million, and the 1 billion club is not even thinking about it.
In the next few days, Fang Ziheng resumed his work and went to Hengyu headquarters and Hengyu Mutual Entertainment every day.
On August 25th, China Film Chen Yu suddenly visited Hengyu and wanted to invest in "The Wandering Earth".
Fang Ziheng just promised on the front foot that he was willing to give 20% of the investment share of the film to China Film, and the five companies of Huayi, Guangxian, Bona, Wanda, and Huace came to the door.
After a period of consideration, Wang Zhongjun and others decided to invest in "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" and co-produce the first national art movie!
So far, "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" has been successfully established.
With a total investment of 500 million, Hengyu Media accounts for 55% and has full authority to control the film process.
Huayi, Guangxian, Bona, Wanda Film and Television, and Great Aim each accounted for 9%, and won the box office share of the film's release in the mainland and Asia at a price of 2 million yuan at a premium of 2 million yuan, as well as the joint distribution rights of the two places.
In layman's terms, it is an opportunity for five companies to spend real money to buy "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" to raise the stock price.
With a total investment of 500 million, the original price of one point is 5 million, plus a premium of 2 million, and the family needs to pay Hengyu 63 million soft sister coins.
The total investment of the five was once as high as 315 million, and Hengyu Media only needed to invest 185 million, which greatly reduced the risk of the film.
Among the 500 million investment, 300 million of them are production costs and 200 million are publicity and distribution costs!
If the movie is a big hit, everyone wins!
If the movie hits the street, I'm sorry, Hengyu Media can still recoup the cost, and five companies including Huayi will lose 63 million.
Hengyu Media is so domineering now, if you want to vote, you don't force it!
And the reason why Wang Zhongjun and others participated was because they learned that the script of the movie would be personally written by Fang Ziheng and the writer Dream into the Divine Machine.
Fang Ziheng's screenwriting skills, they can trust it!
September 1st.
"Immortality", began auditioning actors at Hengyu headquarters.
Early in the morning, in the parking lot outside the three buildings of Hengyu, one nanny car after another drove in.
Actors who are a little famous in the circle, whether they receive the audition invitation or not, come to try their luck accompanied by their agents.
Hengyu Media Agency, more than 20 celebrities all came, and even Liu Qianqian, Yang Xuejian and others who were filming also rushed back from other places.
On the 8th floor of the headquarters building, in the office area of Hengyu Props Company, the artists who came to audition came here to change their makeup as soon as they got the audition role.
Bite..
The elevator doors on the eighth floor opened.
As soon as the staff of the props department saw the people in the elevator, they instantly piled up and licked a dog-like smile: "Sister Sissi, you are here, what role are you auditioning for?" I'll get you the clothes! ”
In the elevator, the young lady wore a white casual dress and a pair of toad sunglasses, and walked out accompanied by a little assistant.
When she came to the male employee, the young lady took off her sunglasses, pursed her lips slightly, and said, "I auditioned for the role of Taisu Fairy, please help me get two more sets of costumes." ”
"Okay, no problem, please come with me!"
The male employee's eyes lit up, patted his chest and said, Xizizi led the way.
When the surrounding employees saw him so dog-legged, they gritted their teeth and secretly hated, why was he a step too late.
Liu Qianqian, even if you can only talk a few more words, it's good!
The three of them had just left, and another elevator in the corridor clanged again.
This time, the staff of the props department, who had already aimed at time, rushed up in two steps in three parts.
One of the fat men was the bravest, squeezing the two competitors away with a twist of his buttocks, and standing tall in the middle of the elevator door.
The fat man's fat face was smiling, his small eyes were staring expectantly at the elevator door that was about to open, and he kept praying in his heart that there was a big beauty star inside.
Three seconds later, the elevator doors opened!
The fat man's eyes widened, and he threw down his arm excitedly: "yes, yes!" ”
I saw that in the elevator, there were four female figures standing, and two brightly dressed beauties were side by side in the front row.
Yang Xuejian, Jiang Shuying!
"Sister Mimi, Sister Shu Ying, two of you, I'm from the props department, what role do you two play?"
The fat man's face was even more unbearable than the one just now, his small eyes narrowed, and he looked like an LSP no matter how he looked at it.
"I play the role of the seventh princess of the Great Qianshen Dynasty!"
"I play the role of the third disciple of the national teacher of the Great Qianshen Dynasty!"
Da Mimi and Jiang Shuying were not surprised, and while stepping out of the elevator, they told themselves about the roles they played.
"Two sisters, please come with me, I'll help you find the right costume!"
The fat man nodded heavily, and under the envious and jealous eyes of the colleagues around him, he left with the four of them.
Then, a funny reception happened outside the elevator, with male employees competing for the right to receive female celebrities and female employees competing for the right to receive their boyfriends.
Fortunately, there were enough people who participated in the audition this time, otherwise I would have been afraid that this group of employees would fight.
Until 10 a.m., hundreds of auditioning artists changed their costumes and gathered on the 15th floor of the headquarters building to apply makeup.
On the 15th floor, in three large powder rooms, artists sit on chairs and let makeup artists fiddle with their faces.
Among them, Hengyu's artists have a single room, other male artists, and female artists, and no one cares about chatting and talking.
At 11 o'clock, the people with makeup came to the extra-large conference room next door, and read the script while waiting.
As there were more and more people, everyone's expressions became nervous.
Every artist who comes in, almost all men will go to the dock in front of Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming, and Chen Kun.
Female artists are the same, and they go to Liu Qianqian, Zhang Yinghou, Li Lianhua, and Fan Bingjie to greet several top stars in turn.
The artists who auditioned today include Hengyu, Huayi, Shibi Culture, and seven or eight other companies in domestic entertainment that are mainly engaged in artist brokerage, all of which are strictly hierarchical and distinct.
People with big coffee positions and good relationships sit in a bunch and chat quietly, and people with small coffee positions and unfamiliar people bow their heads and ponder the script.
At half past 12 noon, after everyone had a boxed lunch, the audition officially began.
17th floor.
A medium-sized and large audition room, with three long tables arranged in a concave shape, with a large open space in between.
Directly in front, Fang Ziheng, Zhang Miao, director of Hengyu's production department, Sang Lin, deputy director of the film production department, Wu Ershan, assistant director, and Yuan Baye, the action martial artist, sat behind the long table.
Behind the tables on both sides, there are three Tengxun Film and Television, four Hengyu Mutual Entertainment, and four Tiangong Colorful People.
Ten people served as co-producers and executive producers of the crew, responsible for giving Fang Ziheng and them.
For the "Immortality" project, Fang Ziheng is the chief director and film director, Zhang Miao is the chief producer, and Sang Lin is the art director and art director.
Wu Ershan had just joined Hengyu and was pulled over by Fang Ziheng as an assistant director to assist him in controlling the overall situation.
Yuan Baye still took his team of dragon and tiger martial artists to escort the action scenes of the movie.
In addition, there are six, seven or eight crew backbones in the room, who will cooperate with the artists to audition for performances.
12:45 p.m.
Fang Ziheng put down the script in his hand, picked up the water cup in front of him and took a sip, and said to Sang Lin on the side: "It's almost, let's start!" ”
"Okay."
Sang Lin nodded slightly, his expression narrowed, and waved at a backbone of the crew, asking him to let people in.
Knock knock
The door opened, and Liu Qianqian strolled in wearing a female robe.
The robe was plain black and wide, and there was not much decoration except for an unknown bird pattern embroidered on the shoulder, and the belt made of gold and jade.
A Xuansu robe was worn on the young lady, making her already immortal temperament more ethereal, with a fairy demeanor.
As soon as they came in, everyone was attracted by the demeanor of the young lady.
Fang Ziheng beckoned to the young lady and asked with a smile, "Sissi, how did you choose this role?" ”
"What's the problem?"
Liu Qianqian's face remained unchanged, she entered the character's heart, stepped into the open space between the three tables, and asked lightly from three meters.
Forehead..
No problem, no problem!
Without waiting for Fang Ziheng to speak, the others laughed when they heard this.
Taisu Fairy, the first fairy to become an immortal in the land of China, is extremely heavy in the first two sections of "Immortality", and belongs to the second heroine, only one less than the female number one.
Taisu Fairy is one of the leaders of the male protagonist who walks up to Xiuxian after crossing over, and is also one of the biggest sources of motivation for the male protagonist.
There is no love in the movie, but emotions are essential!
Don't fall in love, but you can have love and yearning for a beautiful opposite sex.
The actor Li Qing, because he saw the Taisu Fairy, made him even more determined to cultivate immortals.
"Okay, if you like it."
Fang Ziheng secretly rolled his eyes, not entangled in why the young lady didn't choose the role of the female No. 1 princess.
He picked up a piece of A4 paper and pretended to say: "Sissi, it seems that you understand the state of the Taisu Fairy, so let's do it, we won't embarrass you, you just do it over the action, and after this role will be yours!" ”
The eyelids of the other people who listened to the serious words jumped, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and they all complained in their hearts that he went through the motions.
Just now, everyone was also discussing who can be qualified for the Taisu Fairy, which plot audition to use, and it is best to choose a very suitable actor.
Good guy, Fang Lao Liu actually came up with a set of simple actions to fool people in order to make a girl!
Is it interesting to be so involuted?
Everyone complained non-stop, showing nothing on the surface, and looking at the young lady with an expectant smile.
The young lady was suddenly in her heart, and thought that the action was very difficult, very difficult, and the lover deliberately corrected her.
It wasn't until she took the A4 paper and saw the above sets of actions that she knew that she had been fooled by her lover again.
Where is this difficult action, it is clearly a simple technique of several sets of finger pinching.
It's too simple, okay?
Who to look down on!
Liu Qianqian's eyes flashed, she couldn't help smiling, and then she felt that the laughter was not good, so she quickly lowered her head.
"Hey, hey, I said Liu Qianqian, pay attention to your attitude!"
Fang Ziheng knocked on the table, looked at her with a straight face, and said word by word: "Study hard, these tips are very important, what you get is a simple method, and there will be more complicated tips after the movie starts."
As the first female fairy of the human race in the land of China, Taisu Fairy is one of the biggest dependents of the human race, with peerless talent and high strength, and there are action scenes in the movie, if you don't take it seriously, it will be easy to overturn when the time comes! ”
"Please rest assured, the director is prepared, and I will definitely go all out to treat the role, and I will not let you down."
"Okay, let's go, give you three minutes to practice the moves!" (End of chapter)
