At night.

Yilan Entertainment Agency, after Liu Yicheng drank afternoon tea, he took the script back to the agency.

Due to the new project of Ark Culture, it is a big hit in the film and television industry in the past two days.

Therefore, after Liu Yicheng and Fang Xing had afternoon tea, his agent ordered a boxed lunch and worked overtime.

Liu Yicheng put the script on the table and said: "This is the script that Fang Xing gave me, on the way back, I cursolutly watched the first few scenes, it is a costume conspiracy with revenge as the main line."

"I haven't finished reading the script yet, and the first few scenes I watched, the beginning and the end, the characters and the plot are okay."

The agent picked up the script, flipped through it and read the outline of the previous script and the character introduction.

After reading it, he said: "The script is not equal to the TV series, and the film and television dramas with revenge as the main line are not new, and it is difficult to say whether they can be filmed or not."

Moreover, the revenge-based TV series has a more fatal problem, and the plot may be very depressing.

"Where did the protagonist's hatred come from? This hatred must be resonant with the audience, but not too suppressive.

"This is not at all the same way as the popular sweet pet costume idol dramas."

On the other side, the boss of Yilan Entertainment also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the costume dramas that the current audience likes to watch are mainly sweet pets, and it is very dangerous to abuse the main drama." If the shooting is not good, the ratings may be miserable. ”

Liu Yicheng also agreed with the company's boss and interjected: "The script itself is still okay, and whether it can be filmed well depends on the ability of the main creative team."

"Actually, just look at the ability of Ark Culture, in terms of the performance of Ark Culture's past TV dramas, it is still worth looking forward to."

The agent nodded in agreement: "Now the entire entertainment industry wants to join the project of Ark Culture, isn't it just to watch the performance of Ark Culture's past TV series?" ”

He paused, continued to look at the character introduction of the script, and asked:

"Which role is Fang Xing going to let you play? Is there a lot of scenes? ”

Liu Yicheng stretched out his finger and pointed to a character introduction on the script: "This, Ning Guohou Xie Yu, there are still more scenes in this role." ”

The agent carefully read the introduction of the role of "Ning Guohou Xie Yu", frowned and said: "This is a villain character." ”

Liu Yicheng smiled and replied: "Poisonous bee is not very decent, I don't care if I play a villain or play a decent role." ”

The agent hesitated: "Actually, after "The Pretender", we still try to take on decent roles. This time you play the villain again, if the audience's image of you is fixed, the drama will be narrower in the future. ”

Liu Yicheng smiled with a determined expression: "The role of poisonous bee should be regarded as both good and evil, and he is a person with ideals and firm beliefs.

"This time Ningguo Marquis Xie Yu, based on the few scenes I watched, this is a conspiracy drama, and the motives of the characters are based on the struggle for power.

"That's why I think this script is good.

"In conspiracy dramas, all the characters fight for power, not for evil.

"Although it's a villain, I think this character is okay."

The agent glanced at the company's boss and said, "If Brother Liu thinks this script is good, then there are two problems now."

"The audition for "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" has been passed, and you can sign a contract at any time.

"Now the question is, can the two dramas be picked up together?

"If you can't pick up two dramas together, which one should you choose?"

Liu Yicheng thought about it and said: "Otherwise, let's read the script of Ark Culture first, and then decide whether to take this play." Then you communicate with the crews on both sides to schedule together to see if it is possible to pick up the two dramas together. ”

As an actor, he has a suitable script, and the salary he gives is also good, if he can accept it, of course he wants to take it.

After all, "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" is an S-level big investment, and he is also the father who plays the male lead, which is already a very good opportunity for a Mesozoic actor like him, so he naturally doesn't want to miss it.

……

That same evening.

After Liu Yicheng went back, he read the script and saw it very late, and he didn't fall asleep until he couldn't open his eyes.

The next day, I watched it all morning and finally finished reading the script.

At noon, the agent came over to deliver the brand's clothes, and chatted about the script by the way.

"Brother Liu, I also read the script roughly last night, to be honest, the script of Ark Culture is indeed okay."

The agent first praised the script of Ark Culture, and then said: "However, I communicated with the Furong crew in the morning.

"They already know that we are in contact with Fang Xing, and they are dissatisfied with this."

Yesterday's afternoon tea was a gathering of the crew of "The Pretender", and there were many directors and actors present.

Naturally, this kind of gathering is impossible to keep secret, so Liu Yicheng saw Fang Xing yesterday, and it was known to the Furong crew that night.

"The Hibiscus crew already knows? What do they say? Liu Yicheng frowned.

Theoretically.

In the actor industry, actors can audition, and the crew can also refuse.

As long as there is no contract, the actor can go to any crew to audition.

Besides, yesterday was just a gathering of the crew of "The Pretender", and it didn't reach the audition stage.

The agent shook his head and said: "The director of the Furong crew is very angry, saying that we deliberately dragged it and did not sign the contract, and we were riding a donkey to find a horse." ”

Liu Yicheng frowned, a little resistant to the statement "riding a donkey to find a horse".

It's just that this statement seems to be difficult to refute.

The agent was also a little angry: "Which famous actor is not talking about a few scripts in his hand now?" I didn't sign a contract, what is it called riding a donkey to find a horse. ”

Liu Yicheng waved his hand and said: "It's not surprising that the director has a big temper, so is there a trouble with the Furong crew?" ”

The agent shook his head and said: "That's not true, the director lost his temper, in fact, he just wanted to give us a dismount." Then I asked to see if I could compress the filming time, free up the schedule, and take on the new drama of Ark Culture. ”

"What do they say?" Liu Yicheng is very concerned about this.

The agent shook his head again, and replied helplessly: "They disagreed, and said that if we take over the drama of Ark Culture, they will find someone else." Therefore, there should be no way to pick up the two dramas together. ”

Liu Yicheng frowned, he didn't expect the attitude of the Furong crew to be so tough.

Actually, from an actor's point of view.

The role that Liu Yicheng took on is an important supporting role, and the role is not small, but after all, he is not the protagonist, so he does not need to follow the group throughout the process.

From the perspective of filming time, it is possible to shorten the shooting time a lot by concentrating on the scenes.

Of course, making such a request may disrupt the director's original shooting sequence.

Therefore, from the director's point of view, he must hope that the main actors will follow the group throughout the whole process and shoot how they want.

However, when encountering more sought-after actors with many film appointments, the crew can only compromise and shorten the time to enter the group as much as possible.

"It's troublesome, I've finished reading the script of Ark Culture, and I like this script very much." Liu Yicheng said.

The agent spread his hands and said: "Actually, it is not a matter of schedule at all. It's not news in the circle for a long time, Chen Wenhan and Fang Xing have a holiday, so the director of Furong said that as long as we take over the new drama of Ark Culture, they will be replaced.

"However, the Furong crew still hopes that Brother Liu can star in "Furong", and even vaguely said that the salary can be discussed again."

Liu Yicheng thought for a while: "What does the company mean?" ”

The agent shook his head and replied: "In the afternoon, the company will have a meeting to discuss, and there is no decision yet, and we will go over together after lunch." ”

Liu Yicheng signed with a brokerage company, so many decisions are not something he can make alone.

From the company's point of view, in fact, making money is the first priority.

And "Hibiscus" also vaguely said that the salary can be talked about again, which means that it is ready to grab people at a premium.

……

The other side.

Chen Wenhan also knew the news that Fang Xing wanted to find Liu Yicheng to star in a new play, and he became very angry, and then began to ask the casting director to talk to Wang Kai, ready to start grabbing people.

In fact.

When Ark Culture announced that the new project was a "costume power plot drama".

Chen Wenhan was angry once.

Because not long after he announced that he was going to shoot a costume drama, Fang Xing also wanted to shoot a costume drama.

This made him feel that Fang Xing was deliberately coming at him.

Moreover, when the director team first discussed the casting, they took a fancy to Liu Yicheng to play the male lead's father.

Chen Wenhan also felt that Liu Yicheng's image and temperament were in line with the script, and after he agreed, the crew finalized Liu Yicheng.

However, just when he was about to sign the contract, Ark Culture suddenly announced a new play, and he also found Liu Yicheng.

The reason why Fang Xing is looking for Liu Yicheng actually has nothing to do with others, and he just wants to find the original cast of "The Pretender" to play this "costume power plot".

It's just that.

From Chen Wenhan's point of view, things are completely different.

He wants to shoot costume dramas, and Fang Xing also wants to shoot costume dramas.

He looked for Liu Yicheng, and Fang Xing also looked for Liu Yicheng.

Isn't this deliberately aimed at him?

After Chen Wenhan sent a fire, he immediately wanted to retaliate, and when the studio and the crew were in a meeting, he ordered: "Contact Wang Kai and Liu Minxiu for me now, doesn't he want to rob the actors?" Then it's up to whoever can grab whom! ”

"Chen Shao, isn't this good? The first thing to choose an actor is to see if there is a suitable role, right? Director Lu Dingchun frowned, he didn't want Chen Wenhan to mess around in the crew.

Lu Dingchun has filmed a lot of costume dramas and is a relatively senior director in costume dramas.

Therefore, this time, it was Dingsheng Capital who finalized Lu Dingchun to shoot "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival".

In other words, Lu Dingchun is actually a person from Peak Capital.

However, the producer of this drama is Chen Wenhan.

Of course, there is another production team responsible for the work of the producer, Chen Wenhan only occupies this position, and the specific work is done by the production team.

As a director, Lu Dingchun still hopes to make this drama well, so in terms of casting, it is relatively strict.

"Who says there's no such thing as a suitable role? The second male can find Wang Kai to play. Chen Wenhan immediately retorted.

Lu Dingchun frowned again.

"Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" is a sweet pet ancient puppet script, and Chen Wenhan wants to play the male lead.

In terms of personality, the heroine of this drama belongs to Mary Sue, and there will be several male supporting characters who are in love.

The character of the second male is the admirer of the heroine, and he has always loved the heroine and hopes that the heroine can be happy, so he has been silently guarding on the side.

To put it simply, in this drama, the second male number is the heroine's loyal dog licking the dog.

In this kind of ancient puppet drama, the character design of the second male is usually more pleasing, and it is especially easy to get the love of female fans.

Even, sometimes the popularity of the second male will be higher than that of the first male.

Wang Kai's image and acting skills are fully qualified for the requirements of the second male in ancient puppet dramas in all aspects.

Therefore, Lu Dingchun was not easy to refute, but said: "The second male actor has already auditioned for a suitable actor, and he is about to sign a contract, do you want to change it now?" ”

Chen Wenhan's tone was cold and tough: "Director Lu, I am the producer." I now ask Wang Kai to play the second male lead, and the casting director will immediately go and talk to me. ”

The current film and television industry is all made by producers.

In other words, the biggest voice is the producer.

Moreover, the producer is responsible for managing the money.

When there is a conflict between the director and the producer, they have to listen to the producer.

Because the director can be changed, but the producer cannot.

Wang Kai plays the second male in "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival", there is really no problem.

Lu Dingchun simply followed his meaning, waved his hand, and agreed.

The casting director of the Furong crew immediately began to contact Wang Kai, Liu Minxiu, and Jin Dong.

Anyway, as long as it is an actor that Fang Xing wants to use, Chen Wenhan will let people talk about it.

……

Meanwhile.

Hanabi Media Company.

This is Wang Kai's brokerage company.

After drinking afternoon tea that day, Wang Kai took the nanny car to attend a business event, and when he was putting on makeup backstage, he had been reading the script.

In this script, the role that Fang Xing wanted him to play was "King Jing Xiao Jingyan", the seventh son of the Emperor of the Great Liang Kingdom, who was strong and upright.

Since he is very popular now, he usually takes on a lot of work, and he can only read the script between breaks.

The script hasn't been read yet.

The agent suddenly brought a casting director of the crew to meet him, saying that he wanted to find him to star in an S-level investment costume drama.

There are not many S-level investment film and television dramas a year.

Even if you are a first-line actor, you may not be able to appear in an S-level production every year.

Therefore, it is very exciting for the actors to hear the reaction of the S-level big production.

"Mr. Wang, this is the script of our "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival", and our producer asked you to play the second male lead, which is very sincere." The casting director handed the script to Wang Kai.

Wang Kai was originally reading the script of Fang Xing in his hand, but a guest came in, put the script on the dressing table, and took the script of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" with both hands.

When the casting director handed over the script, he glanced at the script that Wang Kai was reading just now, which had the logo of Ark Culture on it.

"Okay, I'll read the script carefully." Wang Kai took the script and nodded in agreement.

Since Wang Kai was putting on makeup and preparing to attend the event to be attended, the casting director did not continue to bother: "Then Mr. Wang is busy first." ”

After speaking, he went out with Wang Kai's agent.

Wang Kai has only been popular for a year, and his popularity has increased, but his coffee position and qualifications are not enough, so what job he takes is mainly determined by Huahuo Media and his agent.

Therefore, the casting director pulled Wang Kai's agent to continue the conversation, and offered a premium salary, and he was determined to win this time.
