Chen Qiming called Zhang Weijian.

After receiving his call and knowing that ATV planned to sign him to make a TV series, Zhang Weijian was very excited.

It just so happened that during this time, he was still pulling with China Vision on Treasure Island.

China Television plans to sign him to act in TV, but the conditions given are very poor, and he is still hesitating.

On ATV's side, Chen Qiming promised him that as long as the TV series has good ratings, the salary is not a problem.

So, on the third day after Chen Qiming's phone call, Zhang Weijian flew back to Hong Kong from Baodao.

On Zhang Weijian's side, Chen Qiming asked Xu Xiaoming to dock with him.

The contract signed by ATV and Zhang Weijian is not a year contract, but is signed according to the number of TV episodes.

The first TV series is 30,000 yuan per episode.

If the follow-up results are good, the salary of a single episode can continue to rise.

Regarding Zhang Weijian's arrangement, Chen Qiming arranged for someone to plan the drama "Young Fang Shiyu".

In the dream, Zhang Weijian will become a ratings guarantee in the next few years, which started with this drama.

After this drama was filmed by China Television, it was very popular in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places.

It just so happens that this drama can take over "I Have a Date with a Zombie".

In mid-May, "I Have a Date with a Zombie" officially opened auditions for all Hong Kong stars.

On the same day, many ATV TV series actors took the initiative to come to the audition site, hoping to get a role.

Not only ATV's TV drama actors, but also some supporting actors who often appear in Hong Kong movies have come.

"Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Chen is good!"

"Mr. Chen, do you remember me? Have we worked together before? ”

At noon, Chen Qiming came to the audition accompanied by the producer of the TV series, Xian Zhiwei, director Tan Youye, and screenwriter Chen Shisan.

As soon as Chen Qiming came, the actors who came to audition immediately surrounded him.

Mr. Chen greeted some people he knew, and then went straight to the audition room.

"Let's get started! I think there are a lot of people, and if I don't start early, I'm afraid there won't be enough time. ”

After coming to his place and sitting down, Chen Qiming said to Xian Zhiwei.

Sin Chi-wai is also a well-known director in Hong Kong.

has filmed dramas for ATV and TVB.

Among them, the more famous ones are classic TV series such as "Gun God", "Silver Fox", and "Developed Wisdom and Many Stars".

The year before last, in 1996, he was officially promoted to the executive producer of ATV.

After Chen Qiming took over ATV, he did not dismiss him, and handed over this year's drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie" to him as a producer.

Chen Qiming's attention made him respect Chen Qiming very much, and he was a staunch supporter of Chen Qiming's faction in ATV.

Well, it's the factions.

As I said before, Chen Qiming became the owner of ATV with 40% of the shares.

Although his stake is the largest among all shareholders.

But in the hands of others, the combined shares are also about 60 percent.

Among them, in addition to Chen Qiming, Liu Changle has the most ATV shares, and Chen Yongqi again.

Both of them entered ATV at the same time as Chen Qiming.

The two of them also saw that the price of ATV TV had been reduced to the minimum, so they intervened and won a lot of shares.

Liu Changle and Chen Yongqi were Chen Qiming's biggest rivals in the competition for ATV's acquisition.

The two are not ordinary people.

Liu Changle, he is one of the most beautiful and wealthy people in the mainland in recent years.

His domestic and overseas investments include broadcasting, petroleum, infrastructure, property development, trading and cultural undertakings.

On 31 March 1996, Liu Changle first established Phoenix Satellite TV Co., Ltd. through his 93.3%-owned Asia Today Limited, together with Satellite Television Co., Ltd. and Hua Ying International Co., Ltd.

Since then, he has become the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix Satellite TV Group.

Under his leadership, Phoenix TV has grown into a company with several TV channels in the fields of entertainment, culture, broadcasting and the Internet.

As for Chen Yongqi, this is not a good stubble.

He is the nephew of Chen Ruiqiu, the founder of the famous Hong Kong conglomerate Cheung Kong Garment.

He is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Cheung Kong Garment Group, and a director of YGM Trading, China Travel Service Hong Kong, Times Retail, and Phoenix Satellite TV.

Although the two bigwigs have obtained ATV's shares, they cannot take charge of ATV.

How could they be willing.

Therefore, in order to get rid of Chen Qiming and gain the right to take charge of ATV, the two began to support their cronies in the company after joining ATV.

There are currently three camps in ATV.

One is the Pacific Entertainment camp headed by Chen Qiming.

This camp is the most powerful, after all, Chen Qiming owns the most shares of ATV, and he is also the chairman of the group and the president, so he naturally has the most power in his hands.

followed by Liu Changle and Chen Yongqi.

The two had already created Phoenix Satellite TV and were partners.

After entering ATV, the two naturally united again in order to confront Chen Qiming.

The two together own about 30% of ATV's shares, and are currently the second and third largest shareholders of the group.

ATV's third camp is ATV's old shareholder.

It is a remnant of the Lin Baixin era.

Among them is Lin Baixin.

When Lin Baixin sold his shares to Chen Qiming, he did not sell them all, but kept about 5% in his hands.

Led by him, there are many other shareholders who have fewer shares.

These people, led by Lin Baixin, formed the third camp of ATV.

However, compared with Liu Changle and the others, although this camp exists, it doesn't care about anything, and it can be regarded as the neutral camp of the company.

Their goal is clear, they will support whoever can make them make money and who can make ATV perform well.

At present, after Chen Qiming became the owner, ATV is in a thriving rhythm, so they support Chen Qiming more.

After receiving Chen Qiming's instructions, Xian Zhiwei immediately arranged for the audition to begin.

The first person to come in was none other than Zhou Huimin, the head of the Jade Girl.

"Mr. Chen is good. Director Xian and Director Tan are good! ”

Zhou Huimin came in and greeted the auditioners first.

"Hello Ms. Zhou."

Chen Qiming didn't speak, it was Xian Zhiwei who spoke, he was the producer of the TV series and the leader of today's audition.

He looked through the documents in front of him and asked: "Ms. Zhou, as far as I know, your development in the past two years has been very good, especially in the music scene, and you are one of the most popular female singers in recent years."

You have also starred in box office masterpieces such as Qiming Film and Television's "Death is Coming".

It stands to reason that you should not be short of dramas, how do you think about filming our TV series? ”

Zhou Huimin glanced at Chen Qiming with a complicated face: "Mr. Chen has worked with me, and I know his sense of smell in film and television very well.

Since he is so optimistic about this drama, I think this drama should become a hit.

I've always wanted to expand my acting career in acting, and I really want to star in this kind of TV series that has the hope of becoming a hit. ”

"Okay, let's audition!" Xian Zhiwei nodded, didn't ask much, and began to get into the main topic and try out the play.

Zhou Huimin tried a scene according to Xian Zhiwei's request.

How to say it!

Zhou Huimin's main business is a singer in the final analysis.

Although he has acted in TV or movies in recent years.

But her acting skills are actually like that.

If it is the simple and honest role of Little Jew in "The Great Era", she may be a perfect match for the actor.

But the role of Ma Xiaoling is not.

The role of Ma Xiaoling is a female Taoist.

She has a lot of fighting scenes in the play, and at the same time, in terms of personality and performance, Zhou Huimin is not suitable.

Therefore, after her performance, several auditioners made their own decisions in their hearts.

Waiting for Zhou Huimin to leave, Tan Youye looked at Chen Qiming, "Mr. Chen, what do you think?" ”

There is no such thing as an impermeable wall.

Chen Qiming and Zhou Huimin have a great relationship, which is well known to many people in the circle.

Although according to Tan Youye's thoughts, since Chen Qiming has arranged an audition meeting, he should not be biased towards Zhou Huimin.

But in order to avoid leaving a bad impression on the company's boss, Tan Youye still planned to ask Chen Qiming what he thought.

Chen Qiming certainly understood Tan Youye's thoughts.

He almost didn't hesitate, and said, "She's not suitable for this role, let's take a stand!" ”

In fact, in the past two years, the relationship between Chen Qiming and Zhou Huimin is no longer that kind of relationship.

Since the end of "The Grim Reaper".

Because of their careers, the two rarely see each other.

How many couples in the entertainment industry are separated because they get together more and leave less.

Not to mention the unstable relationship between Chen Qiming and Zhou Huimin.

Therefore, it is almost normal for the relationship between the two to return to flat.

Of course, Chen Qiming actually understands why Zhou Huimin came to audition for "I Have a Date with a Zombie" this time.

may just want to take this opportunity to renew the relationship with him.

Otherwise, with Zhou Huimin's fame, she really doesn't have to deign to audition for a TV series role.

Audition.

Don't look at this method, which will be very popular in the future.

But this way of choosing roles is actually a very faceless thing for first-line big names.

But where there is a line, there is never a shortage of books in hand.

Just like Chen Qiming, if he wants to act in that movie, he never needs to audition, as long as he agrees, even if the role is not suitable, the screenwriter of the crew will rectify the movie role according to his characteristics.

For example, in "Swapping Identities", Chen Qiming proposed to Paramount that the role was not suitable, and he immediately asked the screenwriter to change it, and changed the face to a swap body with a greater sense of science fiction.

Zhou Huimin may not have reached the height of Chen Qiming.

But in Hong Kong, with her achievements in records in recent years, if she wants to act in a movie, there are actually a lot of scripts sent to her.

The reason why I came to this crew to audition is largely because of Chen Qiming.

Pity...... Chen Qiming has no such idea for the time being.

It's okay to call him a scumbag, or to call him a rotten person.

If you don't like it, you don't like it.

Why should he continue to delay people?

Therefore, when Zhou Huimin looked at him at the end of the audition just now, he chose not to look at her.

He believed that Zhou Huimin should understand what he meant.

The audition for Zhou Huimin ended, and the audition continued.

Some of the actors who came in later auditioned for different roles.

There are auditions for supporting roles, auditions for the second female lead, and auditions for the heroine.

Even, there is a guy who goes straight to the male protagonist.

In front of Chen Qiming, the predetermined actor, he actually had to audition for the actor, which really made Xian Zhiwei and Chen Shisan feel funny.

The audition lasted three or four hours without eating or drinking.

Near noon, another heavyweight arrived.

Qiu Shuzhen is here.

She is also the heroine who came to audition.

Accompanying her was her boyfriend, Shen Jiawei.

"Miss Qiu, meet again."

After Qiu Shuzhen came in, Chen Qiming greeted her with a smile.

Chen Qiming and Qiu Shuzhen also know each other.

When Qiu Shuzhen was Wang Jing's lover before, Chen Qiming dealt with her through Wang Jing.

In addition, Qiu Shuzhen also starred in his MV.

Although they didn't shoot together, they also had an intersection of works.

"Mr. Chen!"

Qiu Shuzhen responded, and then greeted the others very politely.

chatted casually, and Xian Zhiwei directly asked Qiu Shuzhen to try the play.

To be honest, the entertainment industry is indeed a place where you can see the situation.

Everyone's attitude towards different people will be different.

When Xian Zhiwei treated Zhou Huimin before, he spoke softly, and he looked like Miss Zhou, we respect you very much.

It's different here when it comes to Qiu Shuzhen.

His attitude has noticeably become a little impersonal.

In this regard, Chen Qiming, the person sitting next to him, also has a general understanding.

Qiu Shuzhen.

How to say it!

She is indeed an actress with a pivotal position in Hong Kong entertainment in the 90s.

But at the end of the day, she's just a vase.

When she was Wang Jing's lover, Wang Jing praised her, and her treatment inside and outside the circle was very different.

But since breaking up with Wang Jing, resources have declined sharply, although she has been nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards twice.

But they all rely on that kind of ethical movie, there is no box office if you want it, and there is not much good reputation for word of mouth.

And Qiu Shuzhen's current boyfriend Shen Jiahui.

Although Sam Sham is a billionaire, he has less intersection with the entertainment industry after all, and he is just a girlfriend.

These days, it is normal for a rich man to find a girlfriend and not play for a few days.

Therefore, Xian Zhiwei and others obviously began to pay less attention to this former famous Hong Kong vase.

Chen Qiming was not dissatisfied with Xian Zhiwei's praise and stepping on the ground.

Everyone has their own personality and their own way of doing things.

He wouldn't do such a thing, but again, he wouldn't be dissatisfied with it.

Of course, it's best not to have this happen to you.

But it's unlikely that this will happen to him.

No one would dare to do this to him in his capacity.

Qiu Shuzhen's acting skills are there.

Without Wang Jing's support in the past two years, she has finally improved her acting skills and is no longer a simple vase.

In addition, she is actually very suitable for the role of Ma Xiaoling.

Long legs, short skirts, sexy female road long.

To be honest, if she is allowed to act, it may be really good.

However, in the end, Chen Qiming still didn't plan to use her.

In the play "I Have a Date with a Zombie", Chen Qiming will only appear in the first part.

But according to Chen Qiming's plan, there will be a second and third part of this drama in the future.

And Qiu Shuzhen.

According to the information in the dream, in October next year, Shen Dahao will propose to Qiu Shuzhen.

At that time, Qiu Shuzhen, who married into a wealthy family, will announce her retirement.

If you let Qiu Shuzhen play this role.

When Qiu Shuzhen stops acting, will she find an actor again?

Chen Qiming's non-acting will have a great impact on this scene, if Qiu Shuzhen doesn't act again, this drama will not be filmed in the second or third part.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Chen Qiming decided not to use her.
