TV series of the anti-aggression war genre, Fang Xing can think of many classic dramas.

Among the spy war TV series, the classic TV series with high ratings and word-of-mouth is "Latent".

It's just that there is a problem with this drama, the male protagonist is inconvenient and too handsome.

Sun Honglei's film and television image is indeed very charming, and Yu Zecheng, who plays it, is also a classic among the classics.

It's just that Fang Xing's current image is really inappropriate, maybe you can try it in ten years, but it's more difficult now.

If you want to film "Latent", you have to find another powerful actor to play Yu Zecheng.

Among the first-line powerful actors in the film and television industry, there are not many actors who can play Yu Zecheng.

Actors who go to this position are usually very cautious in choosing scripts.

Moreover, even if there is a suitable one, the salary will not be low.

There is also one most important reason, Fang Xing actually wants to act.

After all, I used to love musicals so much, and I hope that I can continue this love of character building in another way in this life.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Fang Xing chose another spy war drama, which was also Mango's drama king "The Pretender" that year.

After deciding on the spy war drama project, Fang Xing stayed at home to write the script.

Leave the rest to the company team.

……

After Ark Culture released the spy war drama project, it immediately attracted the attention of large companies in the film and television industry.

Many film and television companies took the initiative to find out and seek cooperation.

The new drama project released by Ark Culture has an investment of 100 million.

This amount of investment, in the film and television industry, belongs to the entry level of S-level investment, and has just reached the threshold of big productions.

This is also the first S-level project of Ark Culture.

Because Ark Culture has produced two hit TV series.

Therefore, when the new drama plan is released, basically all major film and television companies know that Ark Culture has never made a spy war drama, but they all hope to invest in this project.

Since "The Pretender" is going to be filmed this time, the difficulty and scale of filming are much greater than those of "Wulin Gaiden" and "The Beginning".

"Wulin Gaiden" is a sitcom, there are almost no locations, and all the filming scenes are done in an inn.

Although "The Beginning" has exterior locations, there are not many exterior scenes, and many shots are done inside the bus, so it is not difficult to shoot.

Now when it comes to filming "The Pretender", there are too many scenes.

Therefore, with the current crew size of Ark Culture, it is not enough.

When filming "The Beginning", the crew only needed more than 100 people to support it, but if you wanted to shoot "The Pretender", the crew couldn't run without 300 people.

In a short period of time, it is difficult to increase the number of crew members, and they also need to have crew work experience.

Therefore, the preparation of the crew of "The Pretender" needs to cooperate with other film and television companies.

Qiao Yinghong talked about cooperation with Jade Bird Media, seconded the crew, and raised a team of 300 people.

After the cooperation was reached, Jade Bird Media received an investment quota of 10 million.

Besides.

Penguin Video invested 10 million and had priority in booking webcasts.

In the film and television industry, many companies want to invest, but Fang Xing doesn't want it.

Ark Culture is not short of money now, and if it wants to invest in "The Pretender", it has to exchange resources.

For most film and television companies, when preparing TV drama projects, they will pull a lot of investment in order to diversify risks.

Because the TV series is filmed, it is possible to lose money, and once you lose money, you will not lose so much to diversify the risk.

Fang Xing has never worried about this problem, so the film and television companies that want to invest need to have hard resources that can be used to have the foundation for cooperation.

……

In addition to the film and television industry, Ark Culture also released new drama project plans on major online platforms and submitted audition invitations to the actors' union.

After the release of the project plan, it caused a lot of discussion among netizens and fans:

[There is a new drama plan, and it's not a sitcom, it's not a suspense drama, this time it's a spy war! ] Should I expect that? 】

[Don't make a spy war drama with thunder and thunder, my mother often watches thunder dramas at home, and I occasionally watch it with thunder on the outside. 】

[In case this spy war drama hits the street, it will be the first time Fang Xing hit the street, and it is a memorable moment. 】

[Is it okay for everyone to have a little confidence? Although Fang Xing has never filmed a spy war drama, he is somewhat suspenseful, and I think it can be done. 】

[Let's announce the list of leading actors.] Watching the cast, it's time to distinguish bad dramas. 】

[The project has only been announced now, and the audition has not yet begun.] Where to go to announce the list of leading actors? 】

[Say it.] Is it self-written, directed, and acted this time? 】

[Fang Xing's level of selecting actors, I am still very optimistic. 】

[Didn't anyone find out?] Many film and television companies have film and television projects to launch next year, and some of them have already started. 】

[Not to mention that I haven't found it yet, Ruide Film and Television, Tianlong Film and Television, and Jade Bird Media all have spy war projects. 】

[Please pay more attention, Xiao Lunsheng's new drama "Invisible Spy", 150 million investment, domestic first-line powerful lineup. ] 】

This comment was obviously made by Xiao Lunsheng's fans.

Xiao Lunsheng is the popular traffic student of Rhett Film and Television, Rhett Film and Television is indeed filming the spy war drama "Invisible Spy", and it has been started for more than half a month.

This project did invite several powerful first-line actors in China.

Of course, Xiao Lunsheng falls into this category.

However, in order to promote the popular fresh meat of their own family, Rhett Film and Television chose the script of "Invisible Spy" this time, which is biased towards group dramas.

Therefore, when promoting, Xiao Lunsheng's publicity direction is the starring role, and there are not many scenes.

and another powerful starring, there are a lot of rivalries.

The spy war dramas in recent years are all this trend.

A powerful actor with a little fresh meat.

As long as Xiao Xianrou's acting skills are not too spicy, the ratings are not bad, and it can also make fans blow a wave.

Since this time is a gift for the 75th anniversary of the victory of the anti-aggression war, there are many film and television projects with the theme of the anti-aggression war.

Among them, there are five or six projects with an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan, and they will all be broadcast next year.

Therefore, these hundreds of millions of investment projects will naturally be compared.

Ark Culture's "The Pretender", Tianlong Film and Television's "The Unknown Hero", and Rhett Film and Television's "Invisible Spy" have naturally become the key objects of comparison.

Since "Invisible Spy" starred the popular little fresh meat Xiao Lunsheng, from the beginning of filming, many theater photos flowed out.

It is said that outside the set, he was surrounded by fans every day, all of whom were Xiao Lunsheng's fans.

is not only "Invisible Spy", Tianlong Film and Television's "Unsung Hero" usually invites top stars to star.

The current film and television drama production has a set of mature plans.

That is a powerful actor, with a traffic star, plus a reliable crew, it is equivalent to a TV series that makes sure you don't lose money.

The TV series filmed according to this plan may not be able to become classics, but the broadcast popularity will not be too low, which not only has an audience base, but also can harvest the fan economy.

The scheme is mature and the operation is simple, and it has become the favorite mode used by film and television companies.

……

The news of several big-investment spy war dramas has been hotly discussed on the Internet.

Especially the fans of traffic stars, as soon as the TV series was launched, they began to promote it everywhere to help their idols gain popularity.

After the project of "The Pretender" was established, Fang Xing did not pay attention to the news on the Internet anymore, and concentrated on staying at home and writing the script.

The first thing to write is the character setting, which locates the character's background, personality and experience in all aspects.

The reason for writing the character setting first is that there are many roles this time, and the number of actors who need to be invited is much more than in previous dramas, and each of them requires acting skills.

It's not so easy to find actors with the right image and acting skills for these roles.

So you need to get the role introduction out first, and let the crew find the right actors to audition.

……

During the period of writing the script, Fang Xing did not go to the company, so he stayed at home.

Lu Xianger would bring food over to eat together every day, and sometimes cook it herself, and then peek at the script.

"Agent of the Military Command, codenamed "Scorpion", the leader of the action group of the East China Sea Station of the Military Command, and later joined the underground party, the little son of the Ming family of the East China Sea. Graceful and extraordinary. He walks between black and white, sometimes cunning like a fox and agile like a sword, sometimes clean as water and warm as light, even though his identity is heavy and his disguise is changeable......"

She looked at the character introduction on the computer, and pursed her lips and smiled while watching: "This role, you will be specially prepared for yourself, right?" ”

Fang Xing glanced back at her and asked, "What?" Can't you? ”

"Suave and extraordinary. This is becoming more and more excessive. Lu Xiang'er complained.

She swiped the mouse and continued to look down: "Is there a character for me?" ”

Fang Xing paused for two seconds before saying, "No, but you have the opportunity to audition, whether you can get the role depends on your own level." There are no college student roles this time, so I need a little acting skills. ”

Lu Xiang'er sighed and said, "I know, rigorous Director Fangda." ”

She continued to scroll down, found a female character, and read out the character introduction: "Yu Manli, Mingtai's partner in life and death, was originally a death row inmate in the military prison, and later because Wang Tianfeng appreciated her character, she was selected to become Mingtai's partner on the mission......"

When she saw the introduction of this character, her eyes began to glow, and she continued to read: "I fell in love with Mingtai deeply in cooperation and was willing to give everything for Mingtai, but fate determined that she could only hide this love deep in her heart until death......"

After watching this role, she asked excitedly, "Can I audition for this role?" That's it for Manli. ”

Fang Xing frowned and thought about it for a while, and said: "Strictly speaking, this character is not the heroine, and the ending is a bit poignant. ”

Lu Xianger pursed her lips and said, "I don't have to play the heroine, I think this role is very good." Besides, it's not what I want to play, just let me play. ”

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Then you have to think clearly, the male protagonist will be engaged to someone else in the end." ”

Lu Xiang'er nodded and said, "I know, isn't acting actually about experiencing the life of a character?" It's actually good to experience a different life.

"If we experience the emotion of parting with you in the play, it may make us cherish our current life more."

Fang Xing thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, "You can try it, but this role is very important." There's no way I'm going to put water on you, and I won't use you if I don't pass the audition. ”

"I know, I've said it several times. Am I that ignorant? Of course, the quality of the drama is the first. Lu Xiang'er showed a very arrogant expression.

"You are." Fang Xing showed a very serious expression and nodded in confirmation.

"What? Say it again! Lu Xiang'er stared at a pair of dark eyes, with an expression that was about to go crazy, but this expression was fierce and fierce, and a little cute, and it was not lethal at all.

"Auditions start next week, aren't you going to prepare first? At that time, there will be two directors and four assistant directors as interviewers. Moreover, even if you can pass the level of other directors, as long as there is a more suitable candidate, you will be brushed off. Fang Xing coughed lightly and easily pinched her.

Lu Xiang'er hurriedly looked down at the character introduction and asked, "Can I go through the back door a little?" ”

"I can't." Fang Xing decisively refused.

"I didn't let you release the water, just give me the script first, and I'll figure out the role first, it's always okay, right?"

Lu Xianger found the script that had been partially written, and sent it to his mobile phone with an email with a smile: "If it doesn't work, it will work." ”

Fang Xing glanced at her operation and didn't stop her.

Anyway, the script will have to be shown to her sooner or later, and if she figures out the role in advance and can meet the audition requirements, it's okay.

After Lu Xianger sent the script to her mobile phone, she happily ran up and kissed it, then turned around and ran: "I'll go back to read the script first, you write it slowly, remember to send me the full version after writing." ”

Fang Xing shook his head helplessly, this girl is still like a student, and if she wants to pass the audition, it is estimated that the chances are not great.

……

After the crew's preliminary preparations were completed, Fang Xing's script was also prepared.

The introductions of each role were sent out, and the focus was on inviting suitable actors to audition.

Monday morning of the second week.

"The Pretender" has its first audition.

Because Ark Culture is no longer a small company that was unknown two years ago.

"Wulin Gaiden" and "The Beginning" have become popular with several actors.

Therefore, after the audition information for "The Pretender" was sent out, many actors and agencies took the initiative to ask for auditions.

The crew rented a rehearsal room at the Donghai Film and Television Base, which was used as an audition venue.

The rehearsal room is spacious, giving the auditioners plenty of room to play.

Sometimes, the auditioning performers also perform specialties such as dance.

If there is a role that requires dancing skills, these are all pluses.

Half past nine in the morning.

In the corridor outside the audition venue, there were a lot of audition actors.

Some actors came alone, some came in groups, and some were brought by agents.

Most of the actors who came to audition submitted their resumes to the crew in advance and came after receiving the audition notice.

However, there are also some actors who did not receive the audition notice, but still wanted to come over to fight for the opportunity, and stuffed their resumes to the staff when they arrived at the scene.

Among the many actors who auditioned, there are several actors who have become popular.

Among them, the most surprising of these eighteenth-tier actors was Lin Yingxue.

The actress who played Guo Furong in "Wulin Gaiden" became popular, and she did not appear in "The Beginning" last time, but this time she went to the audition site of "The Pretender", which immediately surprised the actors.

Lin Yingxue came in wearing a mask and a peaked cap, but she was still recognized.

"Isn't that Lin Yingxue?"

"She actually came, didn't she say that she didn't have enough money and refused to act in "The Beginning", and broke up with Director Fang?"

"The Beginning" is such a good script, I don't even play it, if I play it, I can wake up with a smile in my dreams."
