This star is wrong

Chapter 426 Competing actor
night.

Yilan Entertainment Brokerage Company, Liu Yicheng returned to the brokerage company with the script after having afternoon tea.

Because of the new project of Ark Culture, it is a big hit in the film and television industry in the past two days.

So, after Liu Yicheng and Fang Xing had afternoon tea, his manager ordered lunch boxes and everyone worked overtime.

Liu Yicheng put the script on the table and said: "This is the script Fang Xing gave me. On the way back, I briefly watched the previous scenes. It is an ancient costume conspiracy with revenge as the main line.

"I haven't finished the script yet, but the first few scenes I've watched, from the beginning to the end, the characters and the plot are all okay."

The agent picked up the script, opened it and read the outline of the previous script and the introduction of the characters.

After watching it, he said: "Scripts are not the same as TV dramas, and revenge-based movies and TV dramas are not new, so it's hard to say whether they will be popular or not.

"Also, there is a more fatal problem in TV dramas with revenge as the main line, the plot may be very depressing.

"How did the protagonist's hatred come about? This hatred must resonate with the audience without being too depressing.

"This is completely different from the current popular sweet pet costume idol drama."

The boss of Yilan Entertainment on the other side also nodded in agreement and said: "It is true that the costume dramas that audiences like to watch nowadays are all about sweet pets, and it is very dangerous to abuse the main drama. If the filming is not good, the ratings may be very low. dismal."

Liu Yicheng also agreed with the company's CEO, and interjected: "The script itself is still good, whether it can be shot well depends on the ability of the main creative team.

"Actually, it is the ability to watch Ark Culture. Judging from Ark Culture's past performance in TV dramas, it is still worth looking forward to."

The manager nodded in agreement and said, "Now the entire entertainment industry wants to join Ark Culture's projects, isn't it because of the performance of Ark Culture's past TV dramas?"

He paused, continued to read the character introduction of the script, and asked:

"Which role does Fang Xing want you to play? Are there many roles?"

Liu Yicheng pointed to a character introduction on the script: "Well, Xie Yu, Marquis of Ningguo, this character still has a lot of roles."

After carefully reading the introduction of the character "Ning Guohou Xie Yu", the manager frowned and said, "This is a villain character."

Liu Yicheng smiled, and replied: "The poisonous bee is not very decent, I don't care if I play a villain or a decent person."

The agent hesitated: "Actually, after "The Pretender", we still try our best to take on decent roles. This time we play a villain again. If the audience's image of you is fixed, the path of the play will narrow in the future."

Liu Yicheng smiled calmly and said: "The character of the poisonous bee should be regarded as both good and evil, and a person with ideals and firm beliefs.

"This time Xie Yu, Marquis of Ningguo, based on the few scenes I watched, this is a plot drama, and the motives of the characters are all based on the struggle for power.

"That's why I think the script is good.

"In a conspiracy drama, all the characters fight for power, not evil for evil's sake.

"Although it is a villain, I think this role is okay."

The manager glanced at the company boss and said, "If Brother Liu thinks the script is good, then there are two problems now.

"The audition for "The Warmth of the Furong Tent" has passed, and the contract can be signed at any time.

"The question now is, can the two dramas be played together?

"If you can't take two plays together, which one should you choose?"

Liu Yicheng thought about it, and said: "How about this, we'll read the script of Ark Culture first, and then decide whether to accept this drama. Then you communicate with the crews on both sides to see if it is possible to accept the two dramas together."

As an actor, with a suitable script and a good salary, if you can accept it, of course you want to accept it.

After all, "Furong Tent Warming the Spring Night" is an S-level big investment, and he is also the father of the leading actor. For a Mesozoic actor like him, it is already a very good opportunity, so he naturally doesn't want to miss it.

……

That night.

After Liu Yicheng went back, he read the script very late, and fell asleep clutching the script until he couldn't keep his eyes open.

I watched it all morning the next day, and finally finished reading the script.

At noon, the agent came over to deliver the brand's clothes, and chatted about the script by the way.

"Brother Liu, I also briefly read the script last night. To be honest, the script of Ark Culture is indeed not bad."

The agent first praised the script of Ark Culture, and then said: "However, I communicated with the Furong crew in the morning.

"They already know that we have contacted Fang Xing, and they are dissatisfied with it."

Yesterday's afternoon tea was a gathering of the crew of "The Pretender". There were many directors and actors present.

Naturally, it is impossible to keep this kind of gathering secret, so Liu Yicheng's meeting with Fang Xing yesterday was known to the Furong crew that night.

"The Furong production team already knew? What did they say?" Liu Yicheng frowned.

In theory.

In the actor industry, actors can audition, and the crew can also refuse.

As long as the contract is not signed, the actor can go to any crew to audition.

Besides, yesterday was just a gathering of the "Pretender" crew, and it didn't even reach the audition stage.

The agent shook his head and said, "The director of the Furong production team was very angry, saying that we deliberately delayed the signing of the contract, and we were looking for a horse on a donkey."

Liu Yicheng frowned, somewhat conflicted with the saying "riding a donkey to find a horse".

However, this argument seems difficult to refute.

The agent was also a little angry: "Which famous actor is talking about with a few scripts in his hand? He didn't sign a contract. What is riding a donkey to find a horse?"

Liu Yicheng waved his hand and said, "It's not surprising that the director has a bit of a temper, so there's something wrong with the Furong crew?"

The agent shook his head and said, "That's not true. The director lost his temper, but he wanted to show us off. Then I asked, to see if we can compress the shooting time, free up the schedule, and take on the new drama of Ark Culture."

"What did they say?" Liu Yicheng was very concerned about this.

The agent shook his head again, and replied helplessly, "They disagree, and they also said that if we accept the drama of Ark Culture, they will find someone else. Therefore, there should be no way to accept the two dramas together."

Liu Yicheng frowned, he didn't expect Furong's crew to be so tough.

Actually, from an actor's point of view.

The role that Liu Yicheng took on is an important supporting role, and the role is not too small, but it is not the protagonist after all, so there is no need to follow the group all the way.

From the perspective of shooting time, the shooting time can be shortened a lot by concentrating the scenes.

Of course, making such a request may disrupt the director's original shooting sequence.

Therefore, from the director's point of view, I definitely hope that the main actors will follow the group all the way, and they can shoot whatever they want.

However, when encountering more sought-after actors with many film appointments, the crew can only compromise and shorten the joining time as much as possible.

"This is troublesome. I finished reading the script of Ark Culture, and I like this script very much." Liu Yicheng said.

The agent spread his hands and said: "Actually, it's not a matter of schedule at all. It's not news in the circle for a long time. Chen Wenhan and Fang Xing had a feud, so the director of Fu Rong said that as long as we take on the new drama of Ark Culture, they will change it." people.

"However, the Fu Rong production team still hopes that Brother Liu can star in "Fu Rong", and even implicitly stated that the salary can be discussed again."

Liu Yicheng thought for a while: "What does the company mean?"

The agent shook his head and replied, "The company has a meeting this afternoon to discuss, and it hasn't been decided yet. After lunch, we'll go there together."

Liu Yicheng signed a brokerage company, so many decisions cannot be made by him alone.

From the perspective of the company, making money is actually the first priority.

And "Furong" also implicitly stated that the salary can be renegotiated, which means that it is preparing to grab people with a premium.

……

the other side.

Chen Wenhan also found out that Fang Xing wanted to find Liu Yicheng to star in a new play, and he became very angry, and then asked the casting director to talk to Wang Kai, ready to start robbing him.

In fact.

When Ark Culture announced that the new project was a "costume drama".

Chen Wenhan lost his temper once.

Because not long after he announced that he would be filming a costume drama, Fang Xing also wanted to film a costume drama.

This made him feel that Fang Xing was purposely targeting him.

Moreover, when the director team first discussed the casting, it was Liu Yicheng who came to play the hero's father.

Chen Wenhan also felt that Liu Yicheng's image and temperament fit the script, and after he agreed, the crew finalized Liu Yicheng.

However, just as they were about to sign the contract, Ark Culture suddenly announced a new play, and they also found Liu Yicheng.

The reason why Fang Xing found Liu Yicheng actually had nothing to do with anyone else, it was entirely because he wanted to find the original cast of "The Pretender" to act in this "Ancient Costume Drama".

just.

From Chen Wenhan's point of view, things are completely different.

He wants to make a costume drama, and Fang Xing also wants to shoot a costume drama.

He looked for Liu Yicheng, and Fang Xing also looked for Liu Yicheng.

Isn't this just intentionally targeting him?

After Chen Wenhan made a fuss, he immediately wanted to take revenge. During the meeting between the studio and the crew, he ordered: "Call me Wang Kai and Liu Minxiu now, isn't he trying to snatch the actor? Let's see who gets it." who!"

"Young Master Chen, isn't this a good idea? The first thing to do when choosing an actor is to see if there is a suitable role?" Director Lu Dingchun frowned, not wanting Chen Wenhan to mess around in the crew.

Lu Dingchun has filmed many costume dramas and is a relatively experienced director in costume dramas.

Therefore, this time it was Dingsheng Capital who finalized Lu Dingchun to shoot "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night".

In other words, Lu Dingchun is actually a member of Dingsheng Capital.

However, the producer of this drama is Chen Wenhan.

Of course, there is another production team responsible for the work of the producer. Chen Wenhan only occupies this position, and the specific work is done by the production team.

As the director, Lu Dingchun still hopes to make this drama well, so he is relatively strict in casting.

"Who said there is no suitable role? Wang Kai can definitely play the male second." Chen Wenhan immediately retorted.

Lu Dingchun frowned again.

"Furong Tent Warm Spring Night" is a sweet and ancient puppet script, and Chen Wenhan will play the male lead.

In terms of character design, the heroine of this show belongs to Mary Su, and there will be several male supporting roles who will admire her.

The character design of the second male lead is the admirer of the heroine. He has always loved the heroine deeply and hoped that the heroine will be happy, so he has been silently guarding the side.

To put it simply, in this drama, the male number two is the heroine's loyal dog licking the dog.

In this kind of puppet show, the second male character is usually more pleasing, and it is especially easy to be loved by female fans.

Even, sometimes the second male is more popular than the first male.

Wang Kai's image, acting skills, and all aspects are fully capable of meeting the requirements of the second male lead in ancient puppet plays.

Therefore, Lu Dingchun couldn't refute. He just said: "The male second has already auditioned a suitable actor, and the only thing left is to sign the contract. Do you want to replace it now?"

Chen Wenhan's tone was cold and tough: "Director Lu, I'm the producer. I'm calling for Wang Kai to play the second male lead, and the casting director will go and talk to me right away."

The current film and television industry is all made by producers.

In other words, the biggest voice is the producer.

Also, the producers are in charge of the money.

When there is a conflict between the director and the producer, they have to listen to the producer.

Because the director can be changed, but the producer cannot.

There is really nothing wrong with Wang Kai playing the second male lead in "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night".

Lu Dingchun simply followed his wishes and waved his hand in agreement.

The casting director of the Furong crew immediately contacted Wang Kai, Liu Minxiu, and Jin Dong.

Anyway, as long as it was an actor that Fang Xing wanted to use, Chen Wenhan would let someone talk about it.

……

at the same time.

Fireworks Media Company.

This is Wang Kai's agency.

After drinking afternoon tea that day, Wang Kai went to a business event in a nanny car, and while he was putting on makeup backstage, he had been reading the script.

In this script, Fang Xing wanted him to play the role of "Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan", the seventh son of Emperor Liang, who was strong and upright.

Because he is very popular now, he usually takes on a lot of work, so he can only read the script during his breaks.

Haven't read the script yet.

The manager suddenly brought a casting director from the crew to meet him, saying that he wanted to find him to act in a costume drama with S-level investment.

There are not many movies and TV dramas with S-level investment in a year.

Even if they are first-line actors, they may not be able to appear in S-level big productions every year.

Therefore, for the actors, it is very exciting to hear the reaction of the S-level production.

"Mr. Wang, this is the script of our "Furong Tent Warm Spring Night". Our producer named you to play the second male lead. He is very sincere." The casting director handed the script to Wang Kai.

Wang Kai was reading Fang Xing's script in his hand, when a guest came in, he casually put the script on the dressing table, and took the script of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Evening" with both hands.

When the casting director handed over the script, he glanced at the script that Wang Kai was reading just now, which had the logo of Ark Culture on it.

"Okay, I must read the script seriously." Wang Kai accepted the script and nodded in agreement.

Since Wang Kai was putting on makeup and preparing to attend the event later, the casting director did not continue to interrupt: "Then Teacher Wang is busy first."

After speaking, I went out with Wang Kai's manager.

Wang Kai has only been popular for a year, and his popularity has grown, but he doesn't have enough celebrity and qualifications, so what job he takes is mainly determined by Huahuo Media and his agent.

So the casting director dragged Wang Kai's agent to continue chatting, and offered a premium salary, determined to win this time.
