"Have you seen the character introduction?" Fang Xing asked.

"Is it the role of 'Zhou Xun'?" Wang Zhenglong is not very sure, but he has read the casting announcement of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and knows that there is such a role.

Moreover, the industry has been saying that "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" auditioned many actors, but they did not find a suitable second actor.

"Yes." Fang Xing nodded.

"I've seen it, but I haven't had time to delve into it, and I know that it's a criminal police captain." Wang Zhenglong replied truthfully.

"Play a lazy detective captain and take a look." Fang Xing casually mentioned the performance requirements.

Wang Zhenglong paused for two seconds, then began to relax his body, showing a very lazy state, picked up the teacup, looked like a hanger, took a sip and asked, "Is this okay?" ”

Fang Xing was noncommittal, and continued: "I suddenly received a phone call, and there is a case. ”

Wang Zhenglong took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, slid it on the screen, and put it to his ear: "Hey! Okay, I'll be there right away, notify the forensic evidence, protect the scene, I'll be there right away. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly stood up, grabbed his clothes and was about to walk out, walked two steps back and said, "You drink first, I have a case to go over, this meal is mine, don't rob me." ”

After he finished speaking, he walked out quickly, took two steps in the hallway before turning back, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Fang Xing continued: "Suddenly I found a clue that pointed to your best brother. ”

Wang Zhenglong grabbed his hair, showed a very irritable look, struggled in his heart for a long time, pointed at Fang Xing and said: "If you did it, I don't care who you are, I will definitely arrest you!" ”

Fang Xing continued: "Finally, it is clear that the good brother did not commit a crime. ”

Wang Zhenglong sat down, stretched out his hand to pat Fang Xing's back, and said, "Don't blame my brother for checking you, where the duty lies, I will punish myself with three cups." ”

Fang Xing said again: "Because of the mistake of the good brother, the suspect in the serial murder case who has been arrested for ten years escaped and lost his temper. ”

Wang Zhenglong stood up violently, smashed the clothes in his hand on the chair, and scolded: "What are you eating!" ”

He was so angry that he brushed his hair, looking like he wanted to hit someone in annoyance.

Fang Xing continued to add: "I suddenly thought of a clue, I may track down the suspect, but it must be fast." ”

Wang Zhenglong looked stunned, stopped grabbing his hair, then stretched out his finger and pointed at Fang Xing, and said, "The button that the first victim grabbed." Right! That's right! Everyone come with me, let this grandson run away again this time, I will follow his surname! ”

Fang Xing stood up, stretched out his hand to shake him, and said, "Go to the company tomorrow to get the script, and start the film next Wednesday, no problem, right?" ”

When Wang Zhenglong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "I passed the audition?" ”

"It's good, let's let the agent come with me tomorrow." Fang Xing replied.

"Thank you Director Fang, thank you Director Fang." Wang Zhenglong hurriedly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

So far, the actors who have matched Fang Xing, those who have won awards have won awards, those who have become popular, and those who have taken off.

Now there is a consensus in the film and television industry that as long as you can play a role in Fang Xing's drama, doubling the salary will be at the bottom of the crew.

Wang Zhenglong is still auditioning for the second male lead, even if he is a first-line actor, he is lining up to take this role.

If this is an idol drama, there is a high probability that the first-line actor will not accept it.

However, this is a suspenseful criminal investigation drama, and the second male lead has played it well, and he may even win an award.

Therefore, Wang Zhenglong knew how good this opportunity was, and he was indeed a little excited.

……

After finalizing the second male lead, the preliminary preparations for "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" reached the second half.

Casting continues, with several supporting roles to audition.

However, the important roles have been finalized, and the remaining supporting roles are relatively simple.

This evening.

At a party scene, Fang Xing was invited to be the audience, and Lin Yingxue happened to be there.

Lin Yingxue also took the initiative to change her position, went to Fang Xing's side, and got close to chat.

"Director Fang, preparing for a new drama, and don't send me an invitation to audition." Lin Yingxue showed a coquettish look.

"There's no role for you." Fang Xing replied.

"It's okay to make a cameo." Lin Yingxue didn't mind making a cameo at all.

In the drama "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", the female character with many scenes is "Zhou Shutong", and the rest will be the female forensic doctor "Gao Yanan".

"Zhou Shutong" needs to play a college student who has just graduated from the police academy.

And "Gao Yanan" is a professional female forensic doctor, and she is also the girlfriend of the male protagonist's younger brother Guan Hongyu, and is pregnant with Guan Hongyu's child.

Therefore, for the role of "Gao Yanan", you need to find a thirty-year-old actress who is more intellectual.

Lin Yingxue is right in the middle of the two roles, and they are not very suitable.

In fact, if she had to play it, she could play "Zhou Shutong", but this role does not need to be played by a first-line actress.

After all, the producer's duty is to shoot the best results with the least amount of money.

Lin Yingxue's current salary is already at the level of 25 million, and it is not worth spending so much salary to play a role suitable for a newcomer actor.

"Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" does mainly play the role of male actors, so there is no room for many female actors to play.

"It's okay to make a cameo, that's what your agency says." Fang Xing didn't mind letting her make a cameo.

"It shouldn't be renewed, I'm going to open a studio, and Director Fang will take care of it in the future." Lin Yingxue didn't mind revealing the news to Fang Xing.

Lin Yingxue's agency is Qianhong Entertainment, and there are two months left for the brokerage contract to expire.

Previously, Lin Yingxue signed a five-year contract, and she only got 20% of the share.

This sharing ratio is a relatively normal sharing ratio in the entertainment industry.

Generally speaking, the shorter the contract period, the lower the share ratio.

If you are willing to sign a 10-year deed of sale, the share ratio can be higher, and even the share ratio can be increased in the next few years.

However, Lin Yingxue has only signed a five-year brokerage contract, and the share ratio can only be 20%.

For newcomers who are not famous, it is very good to have a company willing to support it.

Of course, strictly speaking, Lin Yingxue's ability to become popular has little to do with her agency.

Lin Yingxue became popular because she acted in "Wulin Gaiden", "The Pretender" and "Hurricane" all the way.

The three dramas directly raised Lin Yingxue to the level of a first-line actress.

Of course, Lin Yingxue also filmed other dramas during her period, and there were one or two small hits, but none of them had higher grades than these three.

After all, the three dramas are all drama kings, and if you want to make dramas with better results than these three dramas, no one in the entertainment industry dares to pack tickets.

The contradiction between Lin Yingxue and Qianhong Entertainment was actually buried very early.

When Fang Xing was filming "The Beginning", Lin Yingxue had just become popular because of her role in "Wulin Gaiden", and she really wanted to take over the drama "The Beginning" as the heroine.

It's just that at that time, Fang Xing filmed "The Beginning" in order to bring Lu Xianger's investment and make money to fill the loan of Dachuan Audio.

Therefore, the investment in "The Beginning" cannot be too large, and the larger the investment, the more seriously Lu Xianger's investment will be diluted.

This made Fang Xing's film "The Beginning" very hard.

If Lin Yingxue wants to act, the salary will be broken.

In fact, Lin Yingxue wanted to act, but Qianhong Entertainment disagreed, after all, the salary was too hard to make any money.

At that time, Fang Xing had only filmed one "Wulin Gaiden".

Although "Wulin Gaiden" is very popular, a drama can't prove anything.

"The Beginning" is another subject that Fang Xing has never filmed, so Qianhong Entertainment does not think that "The Beginning" can be popular, and even if it can be popular, it will only be a small fire.

At that time, "Crime by the Pillow", which was being filmed by Rhett Film and Television, also wanted Lin Yingxue to be the heroine, and offered a premium salary.

"Crime by the Pillow" is still a popular theme for the two male protagonists, with the blessing of two top-notch fresh meats, no matter how you look at it, it is more promising than "The Beginning".

Therefore, Qianhong Entertainment finally forced Lin Yingxue to take over "Crime by the Pillow".

Outcome.

The two dramas collided with the schedule, and "Crime by the Pillow" was pressed and rubbed on the ground by "The Beginning".

"The Beginning" exploded, gaining fame and fortune.

"Crime by the Pillow" has hit the streets, the two male protagonists are top-notch fresh meat, and the fans have strong combat effectiveness.

The drama hit the street, it must not be their brother's fault, it must be Lin Yingxue's fault as a "bewitching slut".

As a result, "Crime by the Pillow" not only hit the street, but Lin Yingxue was also chased and scolded by two top fresh meat fans for more than half a year.

It wasn't until Lin Yingxue took over "The Pretender" that her popularity rose back.

Finally, relying on the phenomenal popularity of "Hurricane", Lin Yingxue rushed to the ranks of first-line actresses in one fell swoop, and was even nominated for the Flying Eagle Award.

The last time, when Fang Xing was filming "Dark Glory", Lin Yingxue also wanted to act.

However, the heroine of "Dark Glory" has already decided to look at Song Li, Lin Yingxue has no way to compete, and only the second female is possible.

However, the female number two is a villain who is hated by everyone, vicious and despicable.

Qianhong Entertainment felt that this was not in line with Lin Yingxue's acting path, and was worried that it would affect Lin Yingxue's role in the future, so it did not agree with her to play "Dark Glory".

Outcome.

Guan Shuxi, the actor of the second female lead in "Dark Glory", won the Golden Junmei Award for Best Supporting Actress in one fell swoop with this role.

Moreover, "Dark Glory" has become popular from domestic to foreign, and during the broadcast, it ranked first on the whole list, and even won the ratings championship in the second round of follow-up.

Qianhong Entertainment did not let Lin Yingxue take over "Dark Glory", but "Dark Glory" became ridiculously popular, and even swept last year's Golden Junmei Award.

When Lin Yingxue thought of this, she felt a sense of heartache.

If she had taken over the second female lead in "Dark Glory", maybe she would have been the one who came on stage to accept the award.

Every time, Qianhong Entertainment objected to Lin Yingxue's drama of waking up, but the result was that the drama exploded, and she became the most injured.

After accumulating so many contradictions, Lin Yingxue really didn't want to renew the contract.

Even if Qianhong Entertainment's conditions are the top in the entertainment industry.

In order to renew the contract, Qianhong Entertainment directly opened the share ratio to 50%, and there was even a guarantee.

Not only that, Qianhong Entertainment also promised to open a studio for Lin Yingxue, and Lin Yingxue had the final say on what work she would take.

This renewal condition is the standard contract after view.

It's just that Lin Yingxue still doesn't want to renew the contract, after all, she can't come back if she misses it, and she doesn't want to have another moth in the future.

"Got a break?" Fang Xing asked.

"No, it's a peaceful breakup." Lin Yingxue didn't tear up with Qianhong Entertainment, but she was unwilling to renew the contract.

As for whether Qianhong Entertainment will take the initiative to tear it up, I don't know.

After all, in the entertainment industry, there are some brokerage companies that will have the black material of their artists in their hands, which are specially used to control artists.

Fang Xing didn't understand the entanglement of interests between Lin Yingxue and Qianhong Entertainment, so he wouldn't meddle in their affairs.

"Your contract is not over yet, even if you make a cameo, you have to sign the contract with the brokerage company." Fang Xing said.

"It's okay, I'll ask the brokerage company to send someone to sign it. I can also shoot first, don't get paid, just make a cameo as a friend, there should be no contract disputes, and if something goes wrong in the end, cut out the shot. "Lin Yingxue mainly doesn't want to be paid.

The cameos are basically friendly cameos, some are paid, and some are not.

Even if you pay for it, it's basically tens of thousands.

If Lin Yingxue makes a cameo appearance in "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", if she wants to be paid, she will definitely have to sign a contract with Qianhong Entertainment, and the salary will go to Qianhong Entertainment's account.

Lin Yingxue and Qianhong Entertainment have contradictions, and that is a matter between them.

The filming salary still has to be in accordance with the contract.

However, if Lin Yingxue doesn't want a penny of remuneration and a simple friendship cameo, then there is no need to go to the account, and there will be nothing to do with Qianhong Entertainment.

Of course, if Qianhong Entertainment really tears it up, there may still be trouble.

"Okay, then you can come." Fang Xing is not afraid of Qianhong Entertainment looking for trouble.

Now that Ark Culture is already a giant company in the entertainment industry, if Qianhong Entertainment has to find trouble, it is really asking for trouble.

Two days passed.

Hong Changbin, the artist director of Qianhong Entertainment, personally took people to Ark Culture, holding Fang Xing's gloves almost:

"Director Fang, I'm Hong Changbin of Qianhong Entertainment, and I especially admire Director Fang's talent."

Fang Xing casually said a few polite words, and was ready to let the assistant deal with him.

Hong Changbin continued to laugh and said: "Director Fang, I'm here to sign Yingxue's film contract, Yingxue said, this time it's a friendly cameo, don't want to be paid."

"By the way, there are other actors in our company, Director Fang will see if there are any ones that can be seen, and arrange one or two small roles."

As he spoke, he pushed the two young actresses in front of Fang Xing.

The smiles on the faces of the two young actresses bloomed like flowers as soon as they saw Fang Xing.

These two young actresses haven't filmed much yet, if they are really taken by Fang Xing, they will soar.

Therefore, the expectant expressions on their faces can't be hidden at all.

Fang Xing beckoned, called the assistant over, and arranged: "Take them to see Director Qian for the audition." ”

"A few of you, please." The assistant took them away.

Director Qian is Fang Xing's queen casting director, who has cooperated in four plays, and has a tacit understanding in his work.

In terms of casting, Fang Xing will only audition for the main roles in person, and the other supporting roles will be handed over to the casting director.

Qianhong Entertainment and Lin Yingxue's brokerage contract is about to expire, and the renewal is not going well.

Hong Changbin, as the artist director of Qianhong Entertainment, is of course very anxious.

It's just that no matter how anxious he is, he doesn't dare to offend the Ark culture, let alone Fang Xing.

If he can, he even wants to kneel and lick Fang Xing, as long as he can let the actors of Qianhong Entertainment play "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", maybe he can bring out the second Lin Yingxue.
