Chapter 77: There is still a chance to cooperate in the future
The audition for the heroine lasted for two whole days, and the crew only left the last four from the original twenty-odd people, Zhou Li, Russell, Zhu Ying, and Yan Fuguang.
The first two have no choice in terms of acting skills or popularity, but Zhu Ying is closer to the character in terms of image, and there have been hit dramas before, and the audience is not bad.
Only Yan Fuguang has obvious advantages and disadvantages, and the two are almost at two extremes.
Yan Fuguang's audition effect is shocking, although she is the youngest of all the audition actors, but the scene she plays is the smoothest and most natural, which is not comparable to even Zhou Li and Russell.
Sometimes you have to convince that the well-crafted acting skills are really not as good as the expression of true feelings, although the crew can't understand why Yan Fuguang, a little girl, can empathize so much with a character like the empress.
As for the image, needless to say, although the most eye-catching thing is definitely Yan Fuguang's extraordinary beauty, but her interpretation of the empress can make people temporarily put her appearance in the second place, and she must be an empress admired by everyone, not the first beauty of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
But the more this happens, the more headaches it gets, even if you don't mention Wang Jie's selfishness, the others themselves are also very entangled.
Because this girl has never filmed before, although she is very famous on the Internet, when she appears as a new actor, can the public still accept it?
As an Internet celebrity, you only need to be beautiful, but as an actor, maybe being too beautiful is not an inevitable plus.
Wang Jie grasped this point and was determined to push Zhou Li to the top.
Zhou Li has nothing to lose, but there is a lack of a Huading TV queen, the Huading Award is the highest level of TV drama awards in China, if he can win the crown, Zhou Li will be able to wrestle with the top batch of Mesozoic Tsing Yi.
And Yun Zhixia's works are not only blockbusters, but also big winners, and it is rare to effectively unify the market and industry aesthetics.
Whether it is for Zhou Li himself, or for the entire Dongyang Entertainment, this project has a reason to win.
But Wang Jie won't let go, and Yun Zhixia won't let go.
If Yan Fuguang hadn't been discovered, it wouldn't be impossible to use Zhou Li, but obviously there was a better choice, so she would definitely not settle for the second.
As for Wang Jie's so-called newcomers who don't carry the drama, Yun Zhixia is not too worried.
First of all, you have to be good to talk about whether the ratings are good or not, as long as Yan Fuguang plays the empress, she doesn't worry about whether the main plot is good or not, and all the supporting roles are carefully selected to ensure that every character can stand firmly, how can the drama filmed in this way be bad.
And now is the era of the appearance economy, even if "The Empress" does not rely on her appearance to sell well, but the beauty of the living beauty, will anyone not like it?
Although there is indeed a bit of metaphysics in whether the actor has an audience or not, Yun Zhixia is willing to gamble, and at her current level, she can afford to gamble even if she fails once.
Yun Zhixia couldn't break through here, Wang Jie could only find another way, he was going to talk to Jiang Zhongqi.
He took out Dongyang's next idol drama project, ready to share a piece of the pie with Jiayi, and even promised to let out the first female and second male, but Jiang Zhongqi still had an ambiguous attitude.
Tossed back and forth for many days, Zhou Li's schedule couldn't afford to be delayed, and Wang Jie could only promise heavy profits again in order to win the role.
He found Yun Zhixia again and promised to be willing to bear some more funds under the same investment share, to put it bluntly, to help Xia Guo Culture contribute some money.
This is almost equivalent to sending money directly to Yun Zhixia, and it is not a decimal, but I didn't expect Yun Zhixia to still insist on his opinion.
Things are stuck here and froze, and the character who originally thought that he was nine out of ten was almost lost because of a newcomer who was born out of nowhere.
Wang Jie is quite poor in donkey skills now, the key is that if his side is uneven, Zhou Li may have problems even with him.
Zhou Li is a very ambitious actor, and her contract with Dongyang is about to expire, if the existing team can't give her the help she wants, she will definitely not hesitate to turn to another family.
The drama "The Empress" is one of the bargaining chips for Dongyang to renew her contract, Wang Jie patted his chest before and promised that he would definitely get the heroine.
Dongyang Entertainment has indeed made a lot of efforts for this, first defeating many competitors and struggling to gnaw 20% of the investment share, and after the audition list came out, they also investigated in detail one by one, and finally came to a positive conclusion - although there is a certain competition, but the certainty is quite large.
But now things aren't going the way they expected, what's the problem?
Do you blame them for not being meticulous enough?
But Yan Fuguang's resume is blank at all, without any reference materials, where can they ask about her acting skills, Yun Zhixia's killer feature can be said to have caught them off guard.
Wang Jie talked to Yun Zhixia several times without any result, and Zhou Li couldn't fool him, since the good business and quantity couldn't get through, Wang Jie could only find another way.
There are only a few kinds of off-board moves, but Yun Zhixia is not an ordinary person, and how to handle this degree is also a headache.
It's definitely not okay to find someone to expose the inside story of casting, the confidentiality agreement is framed to death for you, and doing so is tantamount to offending people to death.
There is also a method that works quickly but is highly toxic, and Wang Jie has been hesitating, because it is possible to get away with it if he is not careful.
Wang Jie and Yun Zhixia sat face to face, whether things can be done depends on how they talk today.
"Teacher Yun, you don't have to say anything about your works, all of them are classics, but this drama clearly relies on the heroine to take the lead, in case anything goes wrong, so many people's hard work will be in vain."
Seeing that Yun Zhixia only drank tea and didn't speak, Wang Jie could only continue to increase the weight.
"Dongyang has taken out so much money with real money, I definitely hope that our drama will be as successful as possible, but now I pin all my success or failure on a newcomer, to be honest, I am really unstable in my heart!"
"It's not that I don't believe you, Mr. Yun, but I also have to be responsible to the shareholders of the company, right? You insist on using Yan Fuguang, in case of a business trip, I can't afford it! ”
Wang Jie was still about to pave the way again, but when he heard this, Yun Zhixia, who had been sitting upright, finally opened his mouth, but the words he said made Wang Jie feel like a lightning strike.
"Mr. Wang, I thought we made it very clear last time, as long as everyone thinks that Yan Fuguang's acting skills are fine, the heroine has to be her, and I am willing to take responsibility for the rest."
Yun Zhixia put the teacup in his hand back on the table, and the crisp sound seemed to indicate something.
"Mr. Wang can think about it again, if you really can't afford it, you can say it bluntly, we still have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
Wang Jie thought he had heard it wrong, what does it mean that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future?
Just because of a Yan Fuguang, Yun Zhixia actually wanted to kick him out?
