Chapter 425: New Project, Costume Power Plot

The script of this costume conspiracy drama has been lying in the computer file for a long time, even earlier than "Hurricane".

At the beginning, "The Pretender" had just finished broadcasting, and when preparing for the new project, I was thinking about this costume conspiracy drama from the beginning, and it happened to be able to use several leading actors of "The Pretender".

However, at that time, the task of anti-crime dramas happened to come, and if the anti-crime dramas were filmed well, they could get a lot of official help.

Therefore, I filmed "Hurricane" first.

Now that "Hurricane" has been broadcast for a while, it is time for a new project to be launched.

After it was determined that the new project was going to shoot costume schemes, Ark Culture's official Weibo released a message and began to recruit actors to audition.

As soon as the news of Ark Culture's new drama came out, the entertainment industry was shaken.

Starting from the morning of this day, Ark Culture's various investment cooperation calls were directly exploded.

Gradually, it began to spread to all the employees of Ark Culture, and even personal phone calls kept coming in.

These calls are all from companies large and small in the entertainment industry, as well as celebrity agents, all hoping to contact the senior management of Ark Culture and want to discuss cooperation.

There is no way, the current Ark culture is a Noah's Ark-level existence in the entertainment industry.

From "Wulin Gaiden" to "The Beginning", from "The Pretender" to "Hurricane", one hit one by one, and it keeps breaking records.

At the same time, there were no opponents in the same type at all, so they competed with themselves.

What's even more terrifying is that the actors who participated in the Ark cultural film and television drama are basically popular.

Now there is a law in the entertainment industry, as long as you hug the thigh of Shangzhou culture, even a pig can take off.

Therefore, as soon as the new project of Ark Culture was announced, almost all companies related to the film and television industry wanted to cooperate.

The film and television investment company even wanted to hold the money and stuff it into Fang Xing's hands, hoping that Fang Xing could take them to make money together.

If it was three years ago, Ark Culture had just been established, and when the first drama "Wulin Gaiden" was filmed, these film and television companies would not be able to look down on such a small company as Shangzhou Culture.

Who would have thought that in the past three years, four popular TV series have directly made Ark Culture a fixed needle in the TV drama industry.

Even if the new project prepared this time has never been tried before, the film and television investment industry is inexplicably confident in Ark Culture.

accidentally hit a drama, which can be said to be luck.

But there are four consecutive hits, and each of them is at the level of the drama king, which cannot be achieved by luck.

Therefore, film and television companies in the industry want to invest in new projects of Ark Culture.

If it was three years ago, these film and television investment companies wanted to invest in the project of Ark Culture, Fang Xing didn't even have the right to refuse.

Because the Ark culture at that time was just a small company with no roots.

However, at that time, no film and television investment company would have known that the rise of Ark culture was so fast.

Therefore, when these film and television investment companies want to invest in the Ark cultural project, it is no longer something they can invest if they want to.

Ark culture has a root in Ningyun, and the 2 billion project in the headquarters park is personally docked by Ningyun's leader.

After "Hurricane", Ark Culture has been listed in a certain top department.

The current entertainment industry giants want to move the Ark culture, unless they can grasp the weakness of the Ark culture, they can't move at all.

Of course, after the company grows bigger, the pattern must be liberalized.

The territory of Ark culture cannot always be the size it is now, so high-quality partners are indispensable.

Fang Xing plans to lay out the film and television industry in the future, so it is necessary to absorb the investment of film and television companies, form cooperative relations, and even hold shares in some film and television companies.

……

At the same time as the establishment of the new drama of Ark Culture.

The ancient puppets prepared by Chen Wenhan are progressing faster.

The investment for this ancient puppet was finalized two months ago, and the preliminary preparations have been completed.

If it weren't for the Dongyin school celebration party, this project would have started a long time ago.

However, the interest of netizens comes and goes quickly.

Two weeks have passed, and no one on the Internet has discussed his "killing chickens".

Coupled with the deletion of posts and comments by online public relations companies, there is basically no news of this incident now.

However, for the sake of public relations, more than eight million were spent, which can be said to be a massive hemorrhage.

Just because of a mistake, the result was more than 8 million yuan to settle the matter.

After the matter subsided, the casting of the ancient puppet "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" led by Pengcheng Capital has begun.

Since ancient puppets are a popular theme now, there are basically one or two popular ancient puppets every quarter.

Moreover, this theme has very low acting requirements.

As long as the appearance conforms to the aesthetics of fans of ancient puppet dramas, you can act.

Therefore, traffic stars who have not learned to act can act.

Of course, according to the standard model of the cast in the film and television industry in recent years.

Usually the male protagonist uses fresh meat, and then pairs it with a few old drama bones with good acting skills to support the performance of the whole drama a little.

This model of old drama bones with traffic stars has been proven to be the optimal solution many times.

Therefore, in the past two years, the salary of the old drama bones has also increased a lot.

Liu Yicheng is a Mesozoic actor who is now relatively famous, that is, an old drama bone as the saying goes.

Liu Yicheng is exactly 50 years old this year and was born in a class at Kyoto Film Academy.

In terms of acting, he does belong to actors with good acting skills.

He acted in many film and television dramas in his early years, and some of them are not low-resounding.

However, when he was young, he was not popular, so he could only be regarded as okay.

There is filming, but it is rare to play the main role.

However, the year before last, after others passed middle age, they suddenly became popular.

Because he played the "poisonous bee" Wang Tianfeng in "The Pretender".

Most of the characters in the drama "The Pretender" are popular.

Liu Yicheng played a very heavy role in the "poisonous bee", it was he who took the male protagonist "Mingtai" to become an agent, and finally completed the "Death Plan" with his life.

Therefore, after the role of "Poisonous Bee" became popular, he also followed suit.

After his fame increased, his salary naturally rose, tripling.

Moreover, there are many film appointments to negotiate.

In the past, with his position in the film and television industry, although there were scenes to film, there was usually not much room for choice, and it was already very good to be able to enter a good crew, and there was basically no chance to choose a role.

However, since participating in "The Pretender", now his agent has a lot of film contracts.

He's got to the point where he can pick and choose a script.

This time.

The S-level project "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" began casting, and Liu Yicheng also received an invitation to audition.

Moreover, the crew is ready to let him audition for the father of the male protagonist of this ancient puppet drama, who is a general who has been fighting all his life, and he has a lot of scenes.

S-level investment, and a role with more scenes, this is a very good film appointment.

So his agent attached great importance to it, communicated with the crew first, and then arranged for him to audition.

The audition process went smoothly.

After all, he was born in Kyoto Film Academy and has worked hard in the actor industry for 30 years, so he wants to have acting skills and fame.

Playing the role of the hero's father is completely sufficient.

Besides, the ancient puppet drama itself does not have high requirements for acting skills, so the audition is just a casual performance, and you can pass.

The director of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" is very satisfied with Liu Yicheng, and it has basically been finalized, and he is about to sign the contract finally.

It's just that.

He had just auditioned for the role of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival", and that night, he received a call from Zhang Yigao, saying that it was a new project of Ark Culture, a costume power plot drama, and there was a role suitable for him, and he wanted to meet and talk to him.

Liu Yicheng received this call and was a little surprised: "Director Fang is in a new play?" ”

"Yes, just like in "The Pretender", Director Fang is with me." Zhang Yigao replied.

"Dinner, is Fang Dao coming?" Liu Yicheng asked again.

"Of course, Director Fang asked me to make an appointment, and now the phone of the whole company has been blown up, I will turn off the phone after I finish this call, and the time and place will be sent to you later, I must come." Zhang Yigao said.

When he was on the phone, the phone rang and a few more calls came in.

"Okay, I'll go." When Liu Yicheng heard that it was Fang Xing's new play, he immediately became interested.

……

Hang up.

The agent walked in and asked, "Brother Liu, the Furong crew just called and finalized the schedule with me, so let's find time to sign the contract." ”

Liu Yicheng frowned, raised the mobile phone in his hand, and said, "Just now Zhang Yigao's phone, Fang Xing asked me to dinner, saying that he wanted to talk about the new drama of Ark Culture. ”

The agent raised an eyebrow and asked, "That's a good thing." Fang Xing took the initiative to ask the actors to dinner, and now the actors in the entire entertainment industry dream of beautiful things. ”

Liu Yicheng was a little embarrassed, and said: "If Fang Xing's new drama comes to me, then "Hibiscus" may not be accepted." ”

The agent frowned, and he was also a little difficult: "The salary of "Hibiscus" is very good, if you can't take it, it's a pity."

"Either way, you go to have dinner with Fang Xing first, and talk about what it's like to watch a new play.

"After we come back, we will discuss how to arrange it."

Liu Yicheng nodded and agreed: "Then do it, over there of the Furong crew?" ”

The agent said: "This is not in a hurry, I will delay it for a few days, and then decide which script to take after two days." ”

……

The next afternoon.

Kwong Kee Tea House.

Fang Xing made an appointment for afternoon tea, and not only Liu Yicheng, but also two other main actors of "The Pretender", Liu Minxiu and Wang Kai.

When we arrived at the teahouse, everyone was an acquaintance, and we chatted very harmoniously when we met.

"Today is a gathering of the cast and crew of "The Pretender", that is, Jin Dong is busy filming and can't attend today's party, otherwise the four sisters and brothers of your Ming family will be here." Zhang Yigao poured tea for a few people and talked about interesting things when filming "The Pretender".

Liu Yicheng smiled heartily and joked: "Then am I not an uninvited guest?" When the Ming family sisters and brothers gathered, my poisonous bee intervened sideways, which was out of place. ”

"Haha......"

Everyone laughed together.

Liu Yicheng was more concerned about the new play, and after a few polite words, he began to get to the point: "I have already seen the news of Director Fang's new play, if there is a role suitable for me, you must keep it for me." ”

After all, he just auditioned for the S-level investment "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival", and the crew has confirmed that he wants to sign a contract, and the salary is also very good.

If Ark Culture's new drama doesn't have a role suitable for him, then he is ready to sign a contract with the Furong crew.

He's an actor, and he's not young.

At this time, there is a film appointment, of course, to seize the opportunity.

What's more, "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" is an S-level big investment.

Due to today's gathering, more than one actor came, Liu Minxiu and Wang Kai came.

This situation is more like a reunion of old friends than a new drama about cooperation.

Fang Xing took a sip of tea and began to get down to business: "I'm really going to play a new play." In fact, the script this time was ready when the filming of "The Pretender" was completed.

Later, because I was going to shoot "Hurricane", I didn't shoot this costume conspiracy script.

"When I first prepared this script, I thought about letting the original cast of "The Pretender" play it.

"However, after the broadcast of "The Pretender", everyone's film appointments have increased, and it is not as easy as before to get together again."

This is indeed the case.

If you start filming "The Pretender" and then continue to shoot this costume scheme, it is much simpler to sign the original cast to star.

After "The Pretender" became popular, the actors became popular, and the salary also rose.

Especially Lin Yingxue, "The Pretender" and "Hurricane" have directly become the new popular flowers, and the salary has also risen to 25 million.

Liu Yicheng and Liu Minxiu are okay, although they also have a lot of film appointments, but after all, they are past the age of playing the leading role, so the salary increase is not so big.

Wang Kai and Lin Yingxue's situation is similar.

After Wang Kai played Ming Cheng in "The Pretender", it can be said that he became the fastest in this drama.

Moreover, he is still young and has a good image.

After "The Pretender", he took on almost all the protagonists, plus his acting skills were not bad, and his salary was already tens of millions.

Wang Kai patted the table and said: "What Director Fang said, as long as it's your play, I will shoot it if you don't give money." ”

It's a scene, but it's really pleasant to listen to.

"No, this new drama does have a role for you. I've also brought the script with me, so you can take it back and read it first. The project preparation progress is relatively fast, if you are satisfied with the script, you should consider the schedule. Let's talk about the rest after reading the script. Fang Xing said and took out three copies of the script and handed them to them.

After a pause, Fang Xing continued: "By the way, Jin Dong also got the script, I talked to him on the phone, and the drama he is filming now will be completed next month." When the time comes, go straight to the group.

"I hope that the original cast of "The Pretender" can shoot this costume power plot, especially Wang Kai, this new play, the role that is ready for you is very heavy.

"You go back and take a hard look at the script to see if the schedule is suitable."

"Okay, I'll see it when I get back." Wang Kai was very excited when he held the script.

Before "The Pretender", he was just an eighteenth-tier actor, but after "The Pretender" became popular, he was out of control.
