The project of embroidering spring knives did not start now, and it was prepared last year, especially the script, which began very early.

As the company's former artist director, Yang Siwei knows about it.

I came over to hand over the formalities today, but I didn't expect to hear Ding Xiu and Qin Gang talking about embroidered spring knives, she didn't leave when she was supposed to leave, and waited outside for Ding Xiu to come out.

Ding Xiu tilted his head: "Does Xiaolan want to invest in this drama?" ”

"Sister Xiaolan probably doesn't know about this, but I think this drama is good, and I want to kick the occasion." Yang Siwei smiled and said, "Brother Xiu, how can you say that you are also the second shareholder of our company, give me a thorough explanation." ”

Ding Xiu smashed his mouth and said, "Tentatively, Zhang Zhen's male first, Wang Qianyuan's male second, and male No. 3 are given to Song Yang." ”

Yang Siwei asked, "Are you starring?" ”

The current lineup is indeed luxurious enough, and if Ding Xiu joins again, it will be difficult for this drama to make money.

"Act, act, of course."

Ding Xiu told the truth, he did act, and he played Ding Xiu in his true colors, and if Zhang Zhen didn't agree, maybe he would have to play the male number one again.

Yang Siwei was excited: "How much is the total investment, how much is the difference at present." ”

"I personally contributed 20 million, Lao Qin's side paid 10 million, and there is still 10 million."

"Ten million, that's a bit much, our studio has just started, we can't eat so much, at most six million is the sky."

Ding Xiu smiled, he was worried that he had not invested, six million was not a lot, and the remaining four million should not be a big problem if he found someone to fool him.

"It's okay, six hundred is six hundred, I'll keep the share for you, I said."

Yang Siwei was moved: "Brother Xiu, then Mr. Qin's side ......"

This drama is a company's play, with such a large lineup, Ding Xiu personally went out to make money, which shows that there is a great chance of making money.

At this time, Ding Xiu gave her six million, and it was clear that she wanted to send money.

I was so impressed.

Don't look at Ding Xiu as the second shareholder of the studio in name, in fact, he has never been to the studio, and he doesn't know which way the door opens, and his name is just for Qin Lan's face.

"Lao Qin still has to give me this little face." Ding Xiu smiled: "Whoever invests is not an investment, it is better to find your own people than to find outsiders." ”

Outsiders are not easy to fool, they have to be their own people.

Yang Siwei nodded heavily: "Thank you, Brother Xiu, then I'll go back to the meeting to raise money, please say hello to Mr. Qin, and I'll come over to handle the handover and sign the contract when I turn back." ”

Ding Xiu nodded: "I'll tell him later, don't worry about raising money." ”

didn't think in the direction of Ding Xiu is director, Yang Siwei saw that there was this opportunity, of course he would not let it go.

Other movies may lose money, but it is rare for Ding Xiu to star, and Ding Xiu has invested her own money, and she has 20 million, so she doesn't dare to bet.

"Brother Xiu, I still have a reluctant request, we have a few good actors over there, their acting skills are very good, and their appearance is also good, but there is no chance, the next step in selecting actors, can you give them a chance to audition."

After she joined Qin Lan's side, she recruited a lot of troops, and her subordinates had already recruited a group of people.

But a studio is a studio after all, and resources are limited.

Seeing that there is an opportunity here, she is also beating snakes and sticks, thinking about fishing for a few more roles.

If you don't dare to think about it, after all, they are all low-profile artists, Ding Xiu has never heard of their names, and the role is not very good.

And I don't know what the specific characters are, so I don't know what I want when I open my mouth.

When Ding Xiu's selection criteria come out, it will be better for her to let people come over.

There is another reason why I didn't directly ask for a role, the unspoken rules in the circle are generally promised to give the opportunity to audition, and they will more or less give some face.

Ding Xiu has been in the industry for so many years, although he is not sophisticated, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand.

It's all in one studio, so it's not a problem to bring two people.

"Okay, call someone over, this drama is a martial arts drama, and it has high requirements for martial arts, so it's best for you to recommend someone who has a martial arts foundation or a dance background."

"Understood, thank you Brother Xiu for this opportunity, I thank you for them."

"You're welcome, it's all your own people, and you're helping me by investing so much money."

Yang Siwei couldn't understand how he could help Ding Xiu with his own investment, which could only be attributed to Ding Xiu being the boss of Qin Dynasty Entertainment, this drama was a company's play, and investing money himself was also to help him share some risks.

"Where, it's you who take me, give me food."

……

After drinking a cup of coffee, Ding Xiu and Yang Siwei left, and Ding Xiu whistled downstairs and came to Qin Gang's office again.

The peanuts have been removed, and the coffee table has been replaced with braised pig ears, cucumbers, and a simple broth, which looks like it has just been delivered.

In addition to this, there are two bowls of rice.

Qin just rolled up his sleeves and didn't start eating, Ding Xiu was not polite, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the bowl and made some soup first.

"What do you say about the actors?"

Before going out, Qin Gang said that he called to ask the actor's opinion, and this should have a result.

"Wang Qianyuan promised to come, but Zhang Zhen didn't do it, saying that the schedule couldn't be adjusted."

The company is not just looking for people now, and generally important roles are predetermined, and they rarely come up with "bidding." ”

I have communicated with Zhang Zhen before, and I have also read the script over there, and I am very interested in the role, and I can sign the contract as soon as the time comes.

But now that he heard that Ding Xiu was the director, Zhang Zhen was reluctant to come.

Of course, I didn't refuse so obviously, I just said that the schedule couldn't be adjusted, and unfortunately, if I had the opportunity to cooperate again in the future, I didn't offend anyone at all.

Eating the meal, Ding Xiu said lightly: "If you can't come, you can't come, I'll play the role of Shen Lian, and Ding Xiu will find someone again." ”

He was originally going to perform in his true colors, but Zhang Zhen couldn't come, so he could only be on top.

It's a pity for the role of Ding Xiu.

It's a big question who will play themselves.

These days, there are not many people who want to find someone more handsome than him.

The main thing is temperament, okay.

Qin Gang smiled, as expected, Zhang Zhen can't come, of course Ding Xiu has to be the number one male, this will make him want this drama to be better than anyone else.

"Give me the remaining 10 million funds, I'll handle it, with the strength of our company, it's no problem to convince a few bosses."

"There are no 10 million, only 4 million, just now Yang Siwei came to me and asked for a share of 6 million."

Qin Gang was stunned: "It's worthy of your old subordinate, so top up to you." ”

Six million is not a small amount, no one's money is blown by the wind, knowing that Ding Xiu is the director, Yang Siwei still dares to invest six million, and his courage is not ordinary.

"What do you want to top me, people are discerning, optimistic about this drama, Lao Qin, you are not as good as a girl in this regard."

"By the way, did you tell her that the director was you?"

"Ahem, it's not important."

", you really lack morality, you specialize in pit your own people."

Qin Gang could already imagine the scene when Yang Siwei knew that the director was Ding Xiu.

The money has been taken out, and the words have been released.

If you are not familiar with the person, you can still return the money in business.

Dan Ding Xiu used to be the top boss, and now he is still the boss, why should he return the money, he can't argue with the boss, right?

……

The four million funds were quickly in place, and Ding Xiu did not waste time, and immediately organized the selection of actors and personally selected the actors.

This is the most important level, and there is no room for error.

Forget about the general role, the important role must be chosen well, otherwise it will have a great impact on a play.

personally participated in the whole process of interviewing actors, and Ding Xiu knew how many personal accidents there were.

Fuck, one moment this is the investor's girlfriend, and the other one is a certain artist who said hello, hoping to give face.

There are also girls who have been personally guided by the assistant director and have the endorsement of the assistant director.

One of the total pushes the matter.

The small role Ding Xiu is too lazy to care, he turns a blind eye, there are rivers and lakes everywhere, understand, as long as it doesn't affect his filming progress and content, he can treat some aspects as if he didn't see it.

But he has to personally check the important role.

For example, this one in front of you.

"A few directors are good, Brother Xiu is good, I am actor Nie Yuan, and I tried Zhao Jingzhong."

"Teacher Nie sit down first, why did you think of coming to our crew to play a supporting role?"

The assistant director held Nie Yuan's information in his hand and asked curiously.

Nie Yuan, one of the current popular costume students, has played many male leads, and he was as famous as Ding Xiu at his peak.

Now he is standing at the top of the second line, and he is almost a Shidi to step into the first line.

He is not too old in his early thirties, on the contrary, it is the golden age of an actor, and at this age, he must have acting skills and be famous.

In appearance, he can play a young man in his twenties, and he can play in his forties.

But it's just such a person, who came here to try out a supporting role.

Not to mention the assistant director, Ding Xiu himself is also curious.

Nie Yuan said seriously: "Isn't this normal, if there is a play, you can act it, in my dictionary, there are only small actors, no small roles, as long as it is a good script, I will play all the tricks." ”

"The role of Zhao Jingzhong touched me very much, I have never played this kind of role before, and I really want to challenge myself."

Challenging yourself is one of them, mainly because I want to open up a career and take a look at the movie channel.

Ding Xiu, Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, Deng Chao, Lu Yi in the same batch are all in contact with the film circle one after another, only he has not made a movie yet.

Their group of people is generally over 30 years old, and they have been acting in costume for more than ten years, and they are all about to vomit, who doesn't want to make some good films.

And everyone understands that costume students are the rice of youth.

Nie Yuan is thirty-two, and he can't play Xiaosheng for three or five years at most, so he should give way to young people and start playing supporting roles.

I can't play the male lead anymore, so I start making movies, that's unrealistic.

So it's best to take advantage of the fact that you are still a little famous, have access to more resources, and take on more big-budget movies.

followed the big director, the old drama bone played two supporting roles, brushed the face of the audience in the film circle, and then found an opportunity to play the male lead, officially entering the film industry.

"We know about Teacher Nie's performance, and you are very welcome to come to the crew."

The assistant director was very happy that Nie Yuan could come over.

There is another coffee, and the lineup of the film is invisibly a little more, and the publicity effect will be much better at that time.

Just as the assistant director was about to leave Nie Yuan behind, Ding Xiu spoke.

"Brother Nie, take the liberty of going through the process, I hope you don't be surprised, Zhao Jingzhong's character uses marksmanship, I don't know how your martial arts foundation is?"

When he said this, the assistant director was in a hurry.

can have a top second-tier actor join, what else do you need a bicycle?

If you can't do marksmanship, you can learn it after you enter the group, and there are a few actors in the entertainment industry who can do martial arts, aren't they all learning now.

If you can't, you can use a stand-in.

In short, there are many ways.

Nie Yuan's face did not change, and said: "I am not a martial artist, compared to you, Brother Xiu, maybe I am not even a beginner." ”

"But I was a professional dance student before I went to the acting academy, and my physical toughness was good, and I could withstand general martial arts movements, as long as the teacher was willing to teach, I didn't have any problems."

"In terms of marksmanship, I will do it a little, I have filmed the legend of the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties before, I played Luo Cheng, and I practiced marksmanship for a few days with a martial arts instructor."

I turned my head and saw that there was a weapon rack in the interview room, with a few embroidered spring knives, long swords, eyebrow sticks, and a red tassel gun.

Nie Yuan got up and picked up the red tassel gun, shook a gun flower and said, "I'll give you a short section." ”

After that, the guns in the field were fierce, and there was a constant whirring sound.

A spear is driven by an arm in his hand, even the assistant director who doesn't understand martial arts can see that Nie Yuan's marksmanship is very good, no worse than a professional, where is it to understand a little bit.

It's clearly a little bit of a billion, okay.

In the entertainment industry, it is rare for an actor to have this skill.

In recent years, it has been a popular costume martial arts drama, and there are many costume students standing on the cusp, but if you want to say that martial arts are professional, you can count them on both hands.

The reason why Ding Xiu can have today's achievements is inseparable from his superb martial arts, which other students do not have.

But I didn't expect Nie Yuan's marksmanship to be so professional.

But think about it, an actor who can go to the second line, who doesn't have a skill, just rely on luck to be popular for a day or two, and he can't be popular for three or five years, so he should always have some skills.

More than ten minutes later, Nie Yuan stood with a gun, panting between his mouth and nose, adjusted his breathing, and said, "It's ugly." ”

"Good, great."

"Bang bang."

"Teacher Nie is here to smash the field, this is a little bit, obviously very professional."

Ding Xiu clasped his hands to his chest, holding a water-based pen in his hand, and said with an appreciative gaze: "Liuhe gun, Luojia gun, Zilong gun, Yang gun, you will be quite miscellaneous." ”

Nie Yuan hugged his fists and arched his hand: "Admire, it is worthy of Brother Xiu, the eyes are poisonous, the Liuhe gun, the Yang family gun, I don't have much time to practice, the Luo family gun, the Zilong gun will be a little more." ”

"I don't know what kind of style the crew needs, if it doesn't work, I'll practice after joining the group."

Yes, it's all said and done, what else can Ding Xiu say, it's the first time he's seen such a cooperative celebrity.

is famous, has acting skills, dances, graduated from acting classes, knows martial arts, and is willing to learn.

The most important thing is that I only tried a supporting role.

"This role is for you." Ding Xiu immediately made a decision.

According to the general process, it should be to ask Nie Yuan to go back and wait for news, and no matter how bad it is, he will not give him the role immediately.

Because it will involve negotiating salary, signing contracts, adjusting schedules, and so on.

When everything is negotiated, this role is his.

But Ding Xiu just compared Nie Yuan's image and Zhao Jingzhong's image in his mind, and found that the overlap between the two was quite large, plus he himself knew marksmanship and acting skills, so he agreed.
