Chapter 425 New project, costume conspiracy drama

The script of this costume drama has been lying in computer files for a long time, even earlier than "Hurricane".

At the beginning, "The Pretender" had just finished broadcasting. When preparing for the new project, I was thinking about this costume drama from the very beginning, and it happened to be able to use several leading actors of "The Pretender".

However, at that time, the task of anti-crime drama happened to come, and if the anti-crime drama was filmed well, it could get a lot of official support.

So, I shot "Hurricane" first.

Now that "Hurricane" has been broadcast for a while, it's time for a new project to start.

After confirming that the new project will be filming ancient costume tricks, the official Weibo of Ark Culture released the news, and at the same time began to recruit actors to audition.

As soon as the news of Ark Culture's new drama came out, the entertainment industry was shocked.

Starting from the morning of this day, Ark Culture's various business invitation and cooperation calls were immediately exploded.

Gradually, it began to spread to all Ark Culture employees, and even private calls kept coming in.

These calls are all from companies large and small in the entertainment industry, as well as celebrity managers, who all hope to get in touch with the senior management of Ark Culture and want to discuss cooperation.

No way, the current Ark culture is Noah's Ark level in the entertainment industry.

From "Wulin Biography" to "The Beginning", from "The Pretender" to "Hurricane", one film became popular, and the records were kept breaking.

In the same period and the same type, there is no opponent at all, so you can compete with yourself.

What's even more frightening is that the actors who participated in the Ark culture film and television drama are basically all popular.

Now there is a law in the entertainment industry, as long as you embrace the thighs of Ark culture, even a pig can take off.

Therefore, as soon as the new project of Ark Culture was announced, almost all companies related to the film and television industry wanted to cooperate.

The film and television investment company even wanted to put the money into Fang Xing's hands, hoping that Fang Xing could bring them to make money together.

If it was three years ago, when Ark Culture was just established, and when the first film "Wulin Biography" was filmed, these film and television companies would not have seen such a small company as Ark Culture at all.

Who would have thought that in the past three years, the four popular TV series would directly make Ark Culture the pinnacle of the TV series industry.

Even though the new project being prepared this time has never been tried before, the film and television investment industry has inexplicable confidence in Ark Culture.

It can be said that it is luck to accidentally catch a drama.

But the four consecutive hits, and each one is at the level of drama king, this cannot be achieved by luck.

Therefore, all film and television companies in the industry want to invest in new projects of Ark Culture.

If it was three years ago, these film and television investment companies wanted to invest in the project of Ark Culture, Fang Xing would not even have the right to refuse.

Because the Ark culture at that time was just a small company with no foundation.

However, at that time, no film and television investment company knew that Ark Culture was rising so fast.

Therefore, when these film and television investment companies want to invest in the Ark culture project, it is no longer something they can invest if they want to.

Ark Culture has established a foothold in Ningyun, and the 20 billion project in the headquarters park was personally connected by the top leader of Ningyun.

After "Hurricane", Ark Culture has already established its name in a certain highest department.

The current giants in the entertainment industry want to move the Ark culture, unless they can grasp the weakness of the Ark culture, otherwise they will not be able to move at all.

Of course, after the company grows bigger, the structure needs to be relaxed.

The territory of Ark Culture cannot always be the current size, so high-quality partners are essential.

Fang Xing plans to expand into the film and television industry in the future, so it is necessary to attract investment from film and television companies, form a cooperative relationship, and even hold shares in some film and television companies.

……

At the same time as the new drama project of Ark Culture was established.

The ancient puppet prepared by Chen Wenhan is progressing faster.

The investment for this puppet was finalized two months ago, and the preliminary preparations have also been completed.

If it wasn't for what happened at Dongyin's school celebration party, this project would have started a long time ago.

However, the interest of netizens comes and goes quickly.

Two weeks have passed, and no one on the Internet has discussed his "killing chicken".

Coupled with the deletion of posts and control of comments by online public relations companies, it is almost impossible to find news about this matter now.

However, more than 800 million yuan was spent on public relations, which can be said to be a hemorrhage.

Just because of a mistake, more than 800 million yuan was abruptly spent to settle the matter.

After the matter subsided, the casting of the ancient puppet "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night" led by Pengcheng Capital has begun.

Since ancient puppets are a popular theme now, basically one or two popular ancient puppets will be released every quarter.

Moreover, this theme has very low requirements for acting skills.

As long as the appearance matches the aesthetics of puppet show fans, it can be performed.

Therefore, traffic stars who have not studied acting can act.

Of course, according to the standard model of casting in the film and television industry in recent years.

Usually the male protagonist uses fresh meat, and then matches it with a few old actors with good acting skills to slightly support the performance of the whole show.

This model of old drama with traffic stars has been proven many times to be the optimal solution.

Therefore, in the past two years, the remuneration of the old actors has also increased a lot.

Liu Yicheng is a Mesozoic actor who is relatively well-known now, that is, an old drama player as the saying goes.

Liu Yicheng is exactly 50 years old this year, and he graduated from the Kyoto Film Academy.

In terms of acting skills, he is indeed an actor with good acting skills.

He acted in many film and television dramas in his early years, some of which are not low-profile.

However, when he was young, he had never been popular, so he could only be regarded as a good mix.

There are scenes, but rarely lead roles.

However, the year before last, after he passed middle age, he suddenly became popular.

Because he played the "Poisonous Bee" Wang Tianfeng in "The Pretender".

Most of the characters in "The Pretender" are popular.

Liu Yicheng played a very important role in "Poisonous Bee". He brought the hero "Ming Tai" to become an agent, and finally completed the "Death Plan" with his life.

Therefore, after the character "Poisonous Bee" became popular, he also became popular.

After becoming more famous, his salary naturally increased, tripled.

Moreover, there are many film contracts that can be discussed.

In the past, with his position in the film and television industry, although there were plays to shoot, he usually didn't have much choice. It was good enough to get into a good crew, and he basically had no chance to choose a role.

However, since he participated in "The Pretender", his agent now has a lot of film contracts.

He has reached the point where he can pick the script.

This time.

The S-level project "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night" started casting, and Liu Yicheng also received an invitation to audition.

Moreover, the crew is going to let him audition for the hero's father of this ancient puppet show. He is a general who has been in the army for a lifetime, and he has a lot of roles.

S-level investment, and a role with a lot of roles, this is a very good film appointment.

So his agent took it very seriously, first communicated with the crew, and then arranged for him to audition.

The audition process went smoothly.

After all, he was born at the Kyoto Film Academy and has worked hard in the actor industry for 30 years. He needs to have acting skills and fame.

Playing the role of the actor's father is completely sufficient.

Besides, the ancient puppet show itself does not have high requirements for acting skills, so the audition can be passed by just performing casually.

The director of "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Night" is very satisfied with Liu Yicheng, and it has basically been finalized, the only thing left is to sign the contract.

just.

He had just finished auditioning for the role of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night". That night, he received a call from Zhang Yigao, saying that it was a new project of Ark Culture, a costume drama, and there was a role suitable for him, and he wanted to meet and chat with him.

Liu Yicheng was a little surprised when he received this call: "Director Fang is in a new play?"

"Yes, it's the same as in "The Pretender", Director Fang is with me." Zhang Yigao replied.

"Dinner, is Director Fang coming?" Liu Yicheng asked again.

"Of course, Director Fang asked me to make an appointment. Now the entire company's phone line has been ringing. I will turn off the phone after I make this call. I will send you the time and place later. You must come." Zhang Yigao said.

While he was on the phone, the phone rang and a few more calls came in.

"Okay, I'll definitely go." Liu Yicheng immediately became interested when he heard that it was Fang Xing's new play.

……

hang up the phone.

The manager walked in and asked, "Brother Liu, the Furong production team just called and confirmed the schedule with me, let us find time to sign the contract."

Liu Yicheng frowned, raised the mobile phone in his hand, and said, "Just now Zhang Yigao called, Fang Xing invited me to dinner, and said he wanted to talk about the new play of Ark Culture."

The manager raised his eyebrows and asked, "That's a good thing. Fang Xing took the initiative to invite actors to dinner, and now actors in the entire entertainment circle dream of such a beautiful thing."

Liu Yicheng felt a little embarrassed, and said, "If Fang Xing finds me for his new play, then "Fu Rong" might not be accepted."

The agent frowned, and felt a little troubled: "The salary offered by "Furong" is very good, if I can't accept it, it's a pity.

"Either way, you go to have dinner with Fang Xing first, and talk about what it's like to watch a new movie.

"After we come back, we will discuss how to arrange it."

Liu Yicheng nodded, and agreed: "Then do it this way, where is the Furong crew?"

The agent said: "There is no rush, I will delay it for a few days, and decide which script to accept after two days."

……

The next afternoon.

Guangji Tea House.

Fang Xing made an appointment for afternoon tea, and not only Liu Yicheng, but also the other two main actors of "The Pretender", Liu Minxiu and Wang Kai.

When we arrived at the teahouse, we were all acquaintances, and we chatted harmoniously when we met.

"Today is the gathering of the cast and crew of "The Pretender", but Jin Dong is busy filming and cannot attend today's gathering, otherwise you and the four brothers and sisters of the Ming family will all be here." Zhang Yigao poured tea for several people, and chatted about filming " Fun episodes from The Pretender.

Liu Yicheng smiled heartily, and joked: "Then am I not an uninvited guest? It's inappropriate for me, a poisonous bee, to get in on the Ming family's sibling gathering."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed together.

Liu Yicheng was more concerned about the new play, and after a few polite words, he turned to the main topic: "I have seen the news about Director Fang's new play, if there is a role that suits me, I must keep it for me."

After all, he had just auditioned for S-level investment's "Fu Rong Zhang Warm Spring Night", and the crew had already decided to sign a contract, and the salary offered was also very good.

If there is no suitable role for him in the new play of Ark Culture, then he is ready to sign a contract with the Furong crew.

He is an actor, and he is not young.

At this time, if there is a film contract, of course we must seize the opportunity.

What's more, "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night" is an S-level big investment.

Due to today's party, more than one actor came, including Liu Minxiu and Wang Kai.

This situation is more like a gathering of old friends, rather than talking about cooperation in a new drama.

Fang Xing took a sip of tea and started talking about business: "I'm really going to be in a new play. Actually, the script for this time was ready when the filming of "The Pretender" was finished.

"Later, because I was going to shoot "Hurricane", I didn't shoot this costume drama.

"When preparing this script, I thought about letting the original cast of "The Pretender" play it.

"However, after the broadcast of "The Pretender", everyone has more film appointments, and it is not as easy as before to get together again."

This is indeed the case.

It would be much easier to sign on the original cast when filming "The Pretender" was started and then continue filming this costume conspiracy.

After "The Pretender" became popular, the actors became popular, and their salaries also increased.

Especially Lin Yingxue, "The Pretender" plus "Hurricane", has directly become a new popular flower, and her salary has also risen to 2500 million.

Liu Yicheng and Liu Minxiu are alright. Although they have a lot of film appointments, they are already past the age to play the leading role, so the salary increase is not that big.

The situation of Wang Kai and Lin Yingxue is similar.

After Wang Kai played Mingcheng in "The Pretender", it can be said that he became the fastest in this drama.

Moreover, he is still young and has a good image.

After "The Pretender", he took on almost all the protagonists, and his acting skills were not bad, and his salary was already in the tens of millions.

Wang Kai patted the table and said, "Whatever Director Fang said, as long as it's your play, I'll shoot it even if I don't pay you."

This is scene talk, but it is really comfortable to listen to.

"No, there are indeed characters suitable for you in this new play. I also brought the script, so you take it back and read it first. The project preparation progress is relatively fast. If you are satisfied with the script, you have to consider the schedule issue We will talk about the rest after reading the script." Fang Xing took out three scripts and handed them to them.

After a pause, Fang Xing continued: "By the way, Jin Dong also got the script. I talked to him on the phone. The drama he is filming now will wrap up next month. At that time, he will directly join the production team.

"I hope that the original cast of "The Pretender" will be able to shoot this ancient costume drama, especially Wang Kai, this new drama, the role that is going to be given to you is very important.

"Go back and read the script carefully to see if the schedule is suitable."

"Okay, I'll read it when I get back." Wang Kai was very excited holding the script.

He became famous after filming Fang Xing's play. Before "The Pretender", he was just a small [-]-line actor, but after "The Pretender" became popular, he was out of control.
