Chapter 584: Competition

"Ark Culture has auditioned for the heroine again? Do they want to use this as a bargaining chip to lower the price, or do they really want to choose another heroine? ”

The senior management of Brilliant Entertainment learned that Ark Culture began to send out audition invitations for the heroines of new dramas, and they were suspicious of this cooperation.

Wang Xingfa named Liu Shiying's agent and asked, "Are you still communicating with Ark Culture?" ”

The agent nodded and replied, "It's still communicating, but it's stuck on the terms of the contract." Ark Culture's requirements for the whole process of following the group are very strict, and they are unwilling to increase the proportion of studio shooting. ”

The director of the film and television production department of Brilliant Entertainment said loudly: "I think Ark Culture is a negotiation strategy, and it didn't refuse us, but it continued to audition other actresses, which obviously wanted us to be soft." ”

In business cooperation, in the negotiation stage, who can get the initiative depends on who has more cards in his hand and who has more confidence.

The trump card of Brilliant Entertainment is Liu Shiying.

With Liu Shiying's ability to carry dramas now, whatever she shoots is popular, and the film and television company begs her to take over the drama.

The card of Ark Culture is the production ability of film and television dramas, and the consistent high-level TV series, each of which is the king of dramas, and swept the major award ceremonies.

Ark culture has this kind of strength, and when it comes to cooperation, it must be strong.

Moreover, this is a new drama project of Ark Culture, and it is the producer, so it has the initiative.

Liu Shiying's agent was a little angry: "Actually, our requirements are not too much, that is, to compress the time with the group, and when shooting, we will still shoot seriously." ”

Wang Xingfa looked at Liu Shiying and asked, "What do you think?" Is it to lower the requirements a little and take over the new drama of Ark Culture, or to directly cooperate with Fanfan Entertainment to take "Spring River Plumbing"? ”

Liu Shiying frowned and said: "Actually, I think both scripts are good, and I don't know how to choose." ”

The director of the film and television production department said loudly: "Actually, if you remove Fang Xing's blessing for the drama, just looking at the script, I think "Spring River Plumbing" is more suitable.

"After all, in this script, there are many heroine roles, unlike the script of Ark Culture, where there are fewer heroine roles.

"However, if you add Fang Xing, you will hesitate.

"After all, cooperating with Fang Xing, there is indeed more hope of winning the award, and if you cover the director's name and don't look at it, it will be easier to make a choice."

Wang Xingfa agreed: "This analysis makes sense, and cooperating with Ark Culture is for the name of Fang Xing."

"But the script they did this time is really hard to say, even if the reputation is good, the ratings are not necessarily good.

"Besides, we don't lack trophies for the time being, let's stabilize the ratings of new dramas first, shoot more hit dramas, and then hit the awards in a few years."

Liu Shiying really felt that the two dramas were good, and when she heard Wang Xingfa say this, she asked: "Mr. Wang, are you sure you want to take "Spring River Plumbing"?" ”

Wang Xingfa said: "I'm not in a hurry to make a decision, I can talk about the cooperation of "Spring River Plumbing" with Fanfan Entertainment in depth."

"Ark Culture can audition for the heroine, and we can also talk about "Spring River Plumbing".

"Perhaps, the Ark Culture found out that we didn't have to cooperate with them, and immediately turned to us and begged us."

After the meeting and discussion, Brilliant Entertainment decided to promote the cooperation with Fanfan Entertainment and began to talk about the cooperation method of "Spring River Plumbing".

……

Fanfan Entertainment's "Spring River Plumbing" filmed this time, firstly, to complete the tasks of the higher-level departments, and secondly, to erect a positive image of Zhu Yiting, paving the way for the later entry into the big screen.

Moreover, the investment of "Spring River Plumbing" this time is relatively large, and it is a standard S+ project.

In order to support Zhu Yiting, this time he was determined to find a follow-up band.

Song Li, Deng Huiling, Chen Yumei, these people have tried to communicate.

Among them, Song Li directly refused, because her company was preparing a new drama, and with the speed at which she was filming, she would not accept other scripts in two or three years.

Deng Huiling took the script and was in the initial stage of negotiation.

Chen Yumei was originally a movie actress, but she filmed a TV series because of her favors, and she also won the Flying Eagle Award for Best Actress.

However, Chen Yumei herself still pays more attention to the development on the big screen, and easily does not accept TV series.

Therefore, at present, the main target of Fanfan Entertainment is Deng Huiling.

However, Deng Huiling has worked with a top-notch fresh meat before, and the process is not very pleasant, so she is also a little cautious in this regard.

Of course, caution does not mean that there is no possibility of cooperation.

As long as you are willing to pay a premium and open favorable conditions, there will definitely be opportunities.

In addition to Deng Huiling, Liu Shiying is also one of the choices of entertainment.

Moreover, Liu Shiying has just won the Gladiolus Award, and it is the high production period of the actress, and the audience loves it well.

Relatively speaking, the age difference between Liu Shiying and Zhu Yiting is not so big.

Therefore, Fanfan Entertainment is actually very satisfied with Liu Shiying, but it has been rumored that Liu Shiying wants to cooperate with Fang Xing, so it has not been able to talk about it.

Major film and television companies, when talking about cooperation, are in contact with multiple parties, and then make the most advantageous choice.

This is the process of a multi-party game.

This is true of brilliant entertainment, this is true of complex entertainment, and the same is true of Ark culture.

……

This time, Ark Culture expanded the scope of the heroine audition, and Fanfan Entertainment also received the news.

Fanfan Entertainment knew that the cooperation between Liu Shiying and Fang Xing might not go well, so it immediately became active and gave Brilliant Entertainment more favorable conditions.

Because there is so much entertainment.

The two companies hit it off, negotiated the details of the contract for a week, and then signed the contract.

Liu Shiying confirmed to appear in "Spring River Plumbing", but did not make an official announcement, but continued to see the reaction of Ark Culture.

It was Wang Xingfa's decision not to make an official announcement, and even asked the senior executives who knew about it not to disclose it to the outside world.

Because, after Liu Shiying took over the poverty alleviation drama "Spring River Plumbing", it means that she has become a competitor with Ark Culture.

Both are poverty alleviation dramas, and in response to national advocacy, they will try to be broadcast in the second half of this year.

This means that the two dramas are likely to collide.

Entertainment companies can cooperate with each other when they cooperate, but when they compete, as long as they do not violate the law, they cannot use any means.

Therefore, Brilliant Entertainment hid the news of Liu Shiying's filming of "Spring River Plumbing" first, and the investment department continued to contact Ark Culture.

has been hanging on the Ark Culture, slowing down the preparation progress of the new drama of the Ark Culture.

If Ark Culture auditions other actresses and just wants to lower the price, it will be considered a trick.

……

It's just that the Ark Culture audition actress is really auditioning.

Although Fang Xing said that the role acting skills of this new drama are demanding and not suitable for Lin Yingxue, Lin Yingxue still asked for an audition.

Auditions don't take much time.

Therefore, Fang Xing agreed to let her participate in the audition.

The audition invitations issued this time are all concentrated in one day, with an average of one person auditioning for an hour.

In addition to Lin Yingxue and Hot Rolling Yi, Guan Shuxi also came.

The first to audition was Lin Yingxue.

After the audition, it was similar to Fang Xing's expectations.

After all, she has worked with Lin Yingxue in three or four dramas, and she knows her acting ability very well.

Lin Yingxue is from a professional class, and her acting skills are there, but she still lacks shortcomings, after all, her age is there.

However, Fang Xing gave her another choice: "Supporting actress?" is the character of Bai Mai Miao, the daughter of Principal Bai. ”

Lin Yingxue's audition for the heroine was unsuccessful, but she thought that she could play a supporting role, so she didn't hesitate for long, so she nodded and agreed: "Act!" ”

In fact.

She is already a quasi-first-line actress, and the market price of her salary is already above 20 million.

With her popularity and popularity, she has several heroine scripts to choose from.

It's basically to the point where you don't need to play a supporting role.

However, Fang Xing's new drama this time, there are too many big names who play supporting roles.

Jinpeng Emperor Wu Zhikang plays a supporting role, Yan Lan is also a supporting role, Wang Kai is also a supporting role, and it is a supporting role with not too many scenes.

Emperor Shi plays a supporting role, and she plays a supporting role, which can be regarded as a small coffee in the supporting role.

……

Subsequently.

Accompanied by her agent Sister Dan, Hot Rolling arrived at the Ark Cultural Headquarters in advance and waited for the audition.

Lin Yingxue came out of the audition activity room and saw Re Yi, and the two greeted each other warmly: "Hello." ”

Hot Rolling asked, "How was the audition?" Is Director Fang as strict as rumored? ”

Regarding Fang Xing's nickname of "Audition Yama", it has been widely known in the circle.

Of course, everyone is talking and playing.

As long as the actor is from the bottom, which one may not get a role after dozens or hundreds of auditions?

Lin Yingxue said with a smile: "It's quite strict." ”

Sister Dan, the agent of Re Yi, is more experienced, and she was very happy when she saw Lin Yingxue, so she asked, "Yingxue's audition must be very successful, right?" Did it pass? ”

"Uh...... Sort of. Lin Yingxue nodded and replied.

Hearing this, Re Rolling Yi and her agent Sister Dan were a little depressed.

With Lin Yingxue's popularity now, she must have auditioned for the heroine, and the audition was successful, doesn't that mean that the heroine has been finalized?

Of course, this matter is not easy to ask, after all, the two sides should be considered a competitive relationship.

In fact, like this situation, Hot Rolling Yi and her agent Sister Dan have already discussed.

With the current film and television production strength of Ark Culture, there are too many actors who are willing to cooperate, and if you send a few audition invitations, there will be a lot of actors to audition.

Therefore, Re Rolling Yi and her agent Sister Dan considered at the beginning that they might fail to audition for the heroine, and they also thought of a plan to settle for the next best.

If you fail in the audition for the heroine, you can also try to see if you can fight for other supporting roles.

Hot Rolling Yi has played a lot of supporting roles, so he doesn't mind playing supporting roles, and he also cooperates with Fang Xing, after all, several actors who have cooperated with Fang Xing have already won awards.

At this time.

The assistant director walked out of the door and called for the next actor to audition.

Hot Rolling Yi entered the audition room and greeted: "Hello directors, I'm Hot Rolling Yi, this is my resume." ”

As she spoke, she stepped forward and distributed the printed stack of resumes to each director.

Fang Xing's director team, from the casting director to the assistant director, a total of six people, all got resumes.

In fact.

Sister Dan, the agent of Hot Rolling Yi, had already sent her resume in the electronic file before.

However, things must be done thoroughly, so Re Rolling still took the initiative to send a resume.

Fang Xing glanced at his resume and asked, "By the way, did you get the script?" ”

At the beginning, her agent, Sister Dan, sent a message to Fang Xing, asking if she could give her an audition chance.

Fang Xing agreed, but the rest of the matter was handed over to Qiao Yinghong to be in charge of contact.

Under normal circumstances, an audition invitation is issued, and the character will be introduced, and the script of a few scenes will be given.

However, Fang Xing didn't arrange it personally, so he asked first.

Hot Rolling nodded and replied, "I got it, and I've read the script." ”

Fang Xing flipped out a page of script from the table, handed it over, and said, "Okay, give this one a try." ”

Hot Rolling Yi took the script printed on this A4 paper and looked down.

She had already gotten the script for this scene a few days ago and had seen it many times.

However, she still read it carefully, finished the lines silently, and then nodded and said, "I'm ready." ”

A script is a script, but there are some things that can't be written in a script.

Before starting, Fang Xing said: "I mainly watch the performance of facial expressions, your father married you because of a donkey's dowry, so you escaped from marriage."

"You escaped to the train, and then you were found by the male protagonist who grew up with your childhood sweetheart. But the affection between you has never been confessed, and I want you to play that kind of expression that you don't want to be seen by the other party. ”

Hot rolling nodded, and after thinking seriously, he began to perform, pursing his lips, revealing that he was very aggrieved, wanting someone to help him, but he didn't want to be seen as stubborn and strong in embarrassment.

Since there are several actresses auditioning for the heroine this time, everyone plays differently.

For example, Liu Shiying's performance is even more pitiful, and there is a kind of ruthlessness in the pitiful, this is the feeling that comes with the big heroine acting too much, as if she will definitely soar into the sky in the future.

The reason why Fang Xing is not very satisfied with Liu Shiying is also because of this.

may be that there are too many heroines who have acted, and Liu Shiying has a feeling of her own: I am the heroine, and the current downfall is only temporary.

This feeling is actually not a disadvantage, because if the audience can see that the heroine will become stronger in the future, it can actually be regarded as a sense of expectation.

It's just that it's not good in this drama.

There is no big heroine in this drama, everyone is an ordinary person, and they all have shortcomings, and no one can soar to the sky and soar.

Therefore, Fang Xing doesn't want an actor with the temperament of a big heroine to play the heroine.

In contrast, Re Juanyi's performance is closer to reality, and the psychological changes of the characters are performed.

The female protagonist and the male protagonist are childhood sweethearts, who grew up in a village and have a kind of friendship with each other.

But this friendship has always been separated by a distance, and neither of them has crossed that step.

Fang Xing is not going to shoot a bloody romance drama, so there is friendship between the two people deep in their hearts, but this friendship will only be hidden in their hearts.

Looking at each other and hoping that each other can live well, very pure.

The role of the heroine Li Shuihua is both soft and tenacious at the same time.

Fang Xing watched Re Yi's performance, thought for a moment, and said: "Another performance, because of your escape from marriage, your father was injured by people from the neighboring village, you resolutely returned and decided to follow your father's arrangement to marry."

"When you promised to get married, the male protagonist was also present.

"After you made your decision, you were sad in your heart, but you didn't want to be discovered by the male owner, so you squeezed out a smile at the male owner.

"Use your ideas to show this smile, and this smile is the highest requirement of this role."
