This star is wrong

Chapter 332 "The Pretender" project starts

Anti-aggression war TV series, Fang Xing can think of many classic series.

Among the spy war TV series, the classic TV series with high ratings and word-of-mouth is "Latent".

It's just that there is a problem with this show, the hero is not convenient to be too handsome.

Sun Honglei's film and television image is indeed very attractive, and Yu Zecheng's performance is also a classic among classics.

It's just that Fang Xing's current image is really inappropriate, maybe he can try it ten years later, but it's more difficult now.

If you want to shoot "Latent", you have to find another powerful actor to play Yu Zecheng.

Among the first-line actors in the film and television industry, there are not many actors who can play Yu Zecheng.

Actors who have reached this position are usually very cautious in choosing scripts.

Moreover, even if there is a suitable one, the salary will not be low.

There is another most important reason, Fang Xing actually wants to act in his heart.

After all, I used to love musicals so much, and I hope to continue this love of character creation in another way in this life.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Fang Xing chose another spy war drama, which was also Mango's drama king "The Pretender".

After confirming the spy war drama project, Fang Xing stayed at home to write the script.

Everything else is left to the corporate team.

……

After Ark Culture released the spy war drama project, it immediately attracted the attention of big companies in the film and television industry.

Many film and television companies took the initiative to seek cooperation.

The new drama project released by Ark Culture has an investment of [-] million yuan.

This amount of investment, in the film and television industry, belongs to the entry-level S-level investment, which has just reached the threshold of large-scale production.

This is also the first S-level project of Ark Culture.

Because Ark Culture has already produced two popular TV series.

Therefore, when the new drama is planned to be released, basically all major film and television companies know that Ark Culture has never made a spy war drama, but they all hope to vote for this project.

Since "The Pretender" is going to be filmed this time, the difficulty and scale of filming are much greater than those of "Wulin Biography" and "The Beginning".

"Wulin Biography" is a sitcom with almost no outdoor scenes, and all the shooting scenes were done in an inn.

Although "The Beginning" has exterior scenes, there are not many exterior scenes. Many shots were completed in the bus, so the difficulty of shooting is not too great.

Now to shoot "The Pretender", there are too many scenes.

Therefore, the current crew size of Ark Culture is not enough.

When filming "The Beginning", the crew only needs more than 100 people to support it, but if you want to shoot "The Pretender", the crew cannot operate without 300 people.

In a short period of time, if you want to increase the number of crew members, and you also need to have experience in crew work, it is difficult to do so.

Therefore, the preparation of the crew of "The Pretender" needs to cooperate with other film and television companies.

Qiao Yinghong discussed cooperation with Jade Bird Media, seconded the crew, and raised a team of 300 people.

After the cooperation was reached, Jade Bird Media received an investment of 1000 million.

Besides.

Penguin Video invests 1000 million yuan, and pre-orders webcast priority.

In the film and television industry, many companies wanted to vote, but Fang Xing didn't want to.

Ark Culture is not short of money now, and if they want to invest in "The Pretender", they have to exchange resources.

For most film and television companies, when preparing TV drama projects, they will attract a lot of investment in order to spread risks.

Because it is possible to lose money when a TV series is filmed. Once you lose money, you will not lose so badly if you spread the risk.

Fang Xing has never worried about this issue, so the film and television company that wants to invest needs to have hard resources to provide a basis for cooperation.

……

In addition to the film and television industry, Ark Culture has also released new drama project plans on major online platforms and submitted audition invitations to the actor union.

After the release of the project plan, it caused a lot of discussions among netizens and fans:

[There are plans for a new drama, and it's not a sitcom or a suspense drama, this time it's actually a spy war!Should I expect it? 】

[Just don’t come up with spy war dramas like thunder rolling in the sky. My mother often watches thunder dramas at home, and occasionally my eyes are burnt out by the thunder. 】

【In case this spy drama hits the street, it will be the first time Fang Xing hits the street, and it will be a memorable moment. 】

[Everyone has a little confidence, okay?Although Fang Xing has never filmed a spy war drama, but with a bit of suspense, I think it can be done. 】

[Quickly announce the list of leading actors.Watching the cast, it's time to identify bad dramas. 】

[The project is only announced now, and the auditions for actors have not yet started.Where to go to announce the list of leading actors? 】

[Let's talk.Is it self-written, directed and acted this time? 】

[I'm still very optimistic about Fang Xing's selection of actors. 】

[Did no one find out?Many film and television companies have film and television projects to launch next year, and some of them have already started. 】

[Not to mention that I haven't found out yet, Ruide Films, Tianlong Films, and Jade Bird Media all have spy war projects. 】

[Please pay more attention to Xiao Lunsheng's new drama "Invisible Spy", with an investment of 1.5 million yuan, and a lineup of domestic first-line talents. 】

This comment was obviously made by a fan of Xiao Lunsheng.

Xiao Luncheng is a popular traffic niche of Reid Film and Television. Reid Film and Television is indeed filming the spy war drama "Invisible Spy", and it has been in production for more than half a month.

This project did invite several powerful first-line actors in China.

Of course, Xiao Luncheng falls into this category.

However, in order to promote its popular fresh meat, Red Film and Television chose the script of "Invisible Intelligence" this time, which is biased towards group portrait dramas.

Therefore, during the publicity, Xiao Lunsheng's publicity direction is to lead the role, and there are not many roles.

There are many rival scenes with another powerful leading actor.

Spy war dramas in recent years have all followed this trend.

A capable actor with a little fresh meat.

As long as Xiao Xianrou's acting skills are not too eye-catching, the ratings will be good, and fans will be blown away.

Since this is a tribute to the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Aggression War, there are many film and television projects on the theme of the Anti-Aggression War.

Among them, there are five or six projects with an investment of hundreds of millions, and they will all be broadcast next year.

Therefore, these hundreds of millions of investment projects will naturally be compared.

"The Pretender" by Ark Culture, "The Unsung Hero" by Tianlong Film and Television, and "Invisible Spy" by Reed Film and Television have naturally become key comparison objects.

Since "Invisible Intelligence" starred Xiao Luncheng, a popular little fresh meat, since the filming started, many theater photos have flowed out.

It is said that outside the studio, fans are surrounded by fans every day, all of them are fans of Xiao Lunsheng.

Not only "Invisible Intelligence", Tianlong Film and Television's "Unsung Hero" usually invites top-notch stars.

There is already a set of mature plans for the production of film and television dramas.

That is a powerful actor, with a traffic star, plus a reliable crew, it is equal to a TV series that is sure to make money.

The TV series produced according to this plan may not necessarily become classics, but the popularity of broadcasting will not be too low. It not only has an audience base, but also can reap the fan economy.

The scheme is mature and easy to operate, and it has become the favorite mode used by film and television companies.

……

Regarding the news of several large-scale investment spy war dramas, discussions on the Internet have been very intense.

Especially for fans of traffic stars, as soon as the TV series started, they began to promote everywhere to help idols gain popularity.

After the "Pretender" project was established, Fang Xing stopped paying attention to the news on the Internet and concentrated on writing the script at home.

The first thing to write is the role setting, which comprehensively positions the character's background, personality and experience.

The reason for writing the role setting first is that there are many roles this time, and the number of actors that needs to be hired is much larger than in previous dramas, and each of them requires acting skills.

It is not so easy to find actors with suitable image and acting skills for these roles.

So it is necessary to come up with the role introduction first, and let the crew find suitable actors to audition.

……

During the writing of the script, Fang Xing didn't go to the company, so he stayed at home.

Lu Xianger would bring meals to eat with her every day, and sometimes she would cook for herself, and then peek at the script.

"Military command agent, code-named "Poisonous Scorpion", the leader of the action team of the military command Donghai Station, and later joined the underground party, the young son of the Ming family in Donghai. He is suave and has extraordinary skills. He walks between black and white, and sometimes is as cunning as a fox. A sword, sometimes as clean as water and as warm as light, even though it has many identities and various disguises..."

She looked at the character introduction on the computer and pursed her lips while watching and smiled: "This character, you prepared it for yourself, right?"

Fang Xing turned to look at her, and asked, "Why? No way?"

"Suave and suave, with extraordinary skills. This description is getting more and more excessive." Lu Xianger complained.

She swiped the mouse and continued to look down: "Is there any role for me?"

Fang Xing paused for two seconds before saying: "No, but you have the opportunity to audition, whether you can get the role depends on your own level. There is no role of a college student this time, and some acting skills are needed."

Lu Xianger sighed and said, "Understood, strict director Fang Da."

She continued to scroll down, found a female character, and read out the character introduction: "Yu Manli, Mingtai's partner in life and death, was originally a death row prisoner in the military command prison. Later, because Wang Tianfeng admired her character, she was chosen to be Mingtai's mission. partner..."

When she saw the introduction of this character, her eyes started to light up, and she continued to read: "During the cooperation, I fell in love with Mingtai deeply, and I am willing to give everything for Mingtai, but fate has decided that she can only deepen this love." Hidden deep in my heart, unswerving until death..."

After watching the role, she asked excitedly, "Can I audition for this role? This is Yu Manli."

Fang Xing frowned and considered for a while, then said: "Strictly speaking, this character is not a heroine, and the ending is a bit sad."

Lu Xiang'er pursed her lips and said, "I don't have to play the heroine, I think this role is very good. Besides, it's not what I want to play, you can let me play whichever one."

Fang Xing said with a smile: "Then you have to think clearly, the male lead will get engaged to someone else in the end."

Lu Xianger nodded and said, "I know, isn't acting just about experiencing the life of a character? It's actually good to experience a different life.

"If you experience the emotion of parting with you in the play, maybe it will make us cherish our current life more."

Fang Xing thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "You can try it, but this role is very important. I can't give you any water. If you can't pass the audition, I won't use you."

"Understood, I've said it several times. Am I so ignorant? Of course, the quality of the drama comes first." Lu Xiang'er showed a very arrogant expression.

"You are." Fang Xing showed a very serious expression and nodded to confirm.

"What? Say it again!" Lu Xiang'er widened her dark eyes, with an expression that was about to go crazy, but this expression was fierce, cute, and completely harmless.

"The audition will start next week. Don't you plan to prepare first? At that time, there will be two directors and four assistant directors as interviewers. Moreover, even if you can pass the test of other directors, as long as there are more suitable candidates , you will also be brushed off." Fang Xing coughed lightly, and easily handled her.

Lu Xiang'er hurriedly looked down at the character introduction, and asked, "Can I go through the back door?"

"No." Fang Xing resolutely refused.

"I didn't ask you to release the water. I just gave me the script first, and I figured out the role first. Is this the head office?"

Lu Xianger found a part of the script that had already been written, and sent it to her mobile phone by email with a smile: "It's okay if you can't."

Fang Xing glanced at her operation, but did not stop her.

Anyway, the script will be shown to her sooner or later. If she thinks about the role in advance and can meet the audition requirements, that's fine.

After Lu Xianger sent the script to her mobile phone, she happily ran up and kissed it, then turned around and ran away: "I'm going back to read the script first, you write slowly, and remember to send me the full version when you finish."

Fang Xing shook his head helplessly. This girl still looks like a student. If she wants to pass the audition, the chances are unlikely.

……

After the pre-production preparations for the crew were completed, Fang Xing's script was also ready.

The introduction of each role was sent out, and the most suitable actors were invited to audition.

Monday morning of the second week.

"The Pretender" has its first audition.

Because Ark Culture is no longer a little-known small company two years ago.

"Wulin Biography" and "The Beginning" have made several actors popular.

Therefore, after the audition information for "The Pretender" was sent out, many actors and agencies actively requested auditions.

The crew rented a rehearsal room at the Donghai Film and Television Base and used it as an audition venue.

The rehearsal room is very spacious, giving the audition actors enough room to develop.

Sometimes, auditioned actors also perform specialties such as dancing.

If there are roles that require dance skills, these are bonus points.

09:30am.

In the corridor outside the audition venue, many audition actors came.

Some actors came alone, some came together, and some were brought by their agents.

Most of the actors who came to the audition had submitted their resumes to the crew in advance and came only after receiving the audition notice.

However, there are also individual actors who have not received the audition notice, but still want to come to fight for the opportunity, so they stuff their resumes to the staff when they arrive on the scene.

Among the many auditioned actors, there are still a few actors who are already popular.

Among them, Lin Yingxue was the one who surprised these [-]-line actors the most.

The popular actress who played Guo Furong in "Wulin Biography" did not appear in "The Beginning" last time, but this time she came to the audition scene of "The Pretender", which immediately surprised the actors.

Lin Yingxue came in wearing a mask and peaked cap, but she was still recognized.

"Isn't that Lin Yingxue?"

"She actually came too. Didn't she say that she didn't want to act in "The Beginning" because she thought she was short of money, so she broke up with Director Fang?"

"The script of "The Beginning" is so good that you don't even act it. If you act it for me, I can wake up laughing from my dreams."
