Chapter 252 Public casting, a large gathering of future stars
Liu Shishi is very, very sincerely grateful to Li Mu. Although she is undoubtedly the bottom of the "New Four Little Flowers", no matter what, she has successfully entered the top ranks after all, and it is Li Mu who really contributed to all this. myself.

The title of "New Four Little Flowers" was conferred by Li Mu, and "Scary Step by Step" that made her really explode was also given by Li Mu. In terms of kindness to her, Li Mu is actually not inferior to bringing her into the industry sugar man.

But she took the opportunity to come to Li Mu today, but she didn't just want to express her gratitude.

This is a rare opportunity, and she also wanted to personally confirm Li Mu's attitude towards her.

To put it simply, Liu Shishi is now deeply involved in contract turmoil.

The contract between Liu Shishi and Sugar Man will expire in 2013, and there is only less than half a year left.

Since "Scary Step by Step" became popular, the signs of Liu Shishi's departure from Sugar Man's company became more and more obvious. For this reason, Sugar Man specially arranged a personal assistant for Liu Shishi, nominally to take care of the artist's life, but actually Anyone who knows the Internet knows that it is rumored that Liu Shishi's Weibo account has been controlled by Sugar Man, and the person behind the scenes is no longer himself.

As the first sister of Sugar Man, Liu Shishi, if he really leaves, Sugar Man will inevitably have a situation where the head of the family is vacant, so naturally he must do his best to keep Liu Shishi.

From the perspective of Liu Shishi's fans "little lions", at this stage, Liu Shishi is not only at the bottom of the "New Four Little Stars" in terms of resources, but also the same as those who are not in the "New Four Little Stars". Compared with Tang Yan, one of the three beauties of Xianjian, they are slightly inferior.

So the "little lions" were in a hurry, and wanted to ask Liu Shishi to terminate the contract with the company in advance in the form of "fans forcing the palace".

As for what to do after the contract is terminated?Of course, joining Huashang Media!
How rare is Boss Li of Huashang Media, who doesn't know how to give it to the whole network?Otherwise, with so many artists in Hua Shang, why did "Scary Step by Step" fall on Shi Shi's head?
The same is the new four female roles, how is the development of Shi Shi who did not join Huashang?What about the other three who joined the development of Huashang Media?
If Shi Shi keeps messing around with Sugar Man, he will be ruined!
In fact, in the summer of 2012 in the original time and space, Liu Shishi's termination of the contract was once a big disturbance, and all kinds of news about personal control and suppression were flying all over the sky.

Sugarman conceals the artist's itinerary, Liu Shishi's Weibo interview is suspected of not being himself, Cai Yinong posts three microblogs in a row denying various rumors, Sugarman promises to adjust the undisclosed artist's itinerary, Liu Shishi's Weibo company has no information Wu Qilong was the only one who reposted, Liu Shishi's official website "Poetry and Dance" was suddenly revoked the authority of the heads of nearly ten regional support clubs, and so on.

This is only the original time and space.

The "little lions" in this time and space are undoubtedly more effective, and this time the goal is clearer.

The original request of the fans in the original world was to terminate the contract in advance. As for what to do after the contract is terminated, no one knows, but the fans of this time and space not only know that they need to terminate the contract in advance, but also know that after the termination of the contract, they will join Huashang!

The fan base is larger and more effective, and the goal is clearer. As a result, the contract termination turmoil in this time and space is much bigger than in the original time and space.

And just when the fans were making the most noise, suddenly, a big piece of news was made public - Huashang Media invited all members of the "New Four Little Flowers", together with Tong Liya and Wumei, to co-star in the latest love movie " To Youth"!
This is a very clear signal in the eyes of the "little lions"!
Just when the turmoil about the termination of the contract was raging, Huashang Media suddenly invited Shi Shi to act in a movie?
What is the purpose?

Obviously, this is the meeting gift and olive branch prepared by Huashang Media for Shi Shi, and it is the dowry gift prepared by Huashang Media for "marrying" Shi Shi!

Now the little lions are happy and happy, and many of them have even started to celebrate in advance.

"Alright, Shi Shi's decision to quit Huashang Media should have been decided, otherwise Huashang would not have invited Shi Shi to act in a movie at such a sensitive time. This obviously means that there has been an agreement in private!"

In fact, Boss Cai of Sugar Man didn't really want Liu Shishi to take the role of Huashang Media, but she really didn't dare to refuse, and she didn't even dare to mention it!Before she did anything, the little lions had already started to rebel. If she really messed up Hua Shang's role, Liu Shishi's fans might not be able to do crazy things.

In desperation, Cai Yinong personally called Li Mu and asked if Li Mu had reached an agreement with Liu Shishi in private, and Li Mu naturally answered no.

Cai Yinong felt that with Li Mu's current status, there was really no need to lie about such a trivial matter, so he told Liu Shishi what Li Mu said later, and Liu Shishi himself was also confused.

So does Liu Shishi want to change jobs?
There should be no doubt about the so-called people going to high places.

Now the whole internet is saying that she has a private agreement with Hua Shang, and that she has a nose and eyes, and she almost believes what she said, but she really has no communication with Hua Shang in private, okay?

In fact, she also felt that Hua Shang wanted to sign her, but Boss Cai said that Hua Shang didn't mean that, so today she took the opportunity of turning on the phone, mustered up the courage, and came to find her with the expression of her personal assistant defecating. Li Mu spoke.

"Actually, I really like working with Huashang's production team. The script is excellent, the team is professional, and the filming is dedicated. I don't know when I will have another chance after this."

The meaning of this test is quite obvious. If Li Mu really wants to sign her, then he should give her some hints, such as "there will be a similar opportunity soon".

But Li Mu obviously didn't give her the answer she wanted this time. What Li Mu said was:
"Let's see if there is a suitable script. If there is a suitable script, there will be a suitable opportunity."

What does this mean?
What does it mean to see if there is a suitable script?

Who doesn't know that Li Mu is a star-making master?Who doesn't know that if Li Mu wants to praise someone, then there will be a script suitable for that person?Could it be that if Mr. Li wanted to praise her, he couldn't because he didn't have a script?

So Mr. Cai didn't lie, Hua Shang really didn't intend to sign her, right?
Liu Shishi's mood was visibly depressed by the naked eye.

So does Li Mu want to sign Liu Shishi?

In fact, I really don't have any strong thoughts, and I can sign or not sign.

The main reason is that Liu Shishi has no outstanding masterpieces except "Scary Step by Step".

So what if you sign it?

Most of the works she took after the original time and space were not very brilliant, so Hua Shang might not be able to copy them, and Li Mu didn't have too many other works suitable for her, so why signed them?
After signing it, let her go to shoot Yuan Shikong's works step by step like Yuan Shikong?

What's the point?
But the commercial value of her is actually not low, and she must be profitable if she signs it.

That's why it's in the state of being able to sign or not.

Anyway, there is still half a year left in her contract with Sugar Man, so there is no rush.

After returning to the company again, Li Mu began to arrange the matter of "Princess Concubine's Promotion".

The maximum investment for filming this web drama is only 2000 million. iQiyi is willing to spend 9000 million for an exclusive buyout, and the company can easily make a huge profit of 7000 million. Why not do it?

"We must control the cost this time. How much we can sell has already been determined. Every penny saved is the company's profit."

"The cost is best controlled within 2000 million yuan."

"Don't save too much, at least the quality is still necessary, because of this, you can't close your own signboard."

"The actors are all newcomers. Many newcomers are just not well-known. In terms of acting skills, they may not be worse than Xiaohua Xiaosheng!"

"Let's hold a large-scale audition, and make an announcement to the public. This time, the heroine, heroine, and other main actors will all use unknown newcomers. Whether it's an actor or a freshman from the Film and Television Academy, as long as they think they have good looks and acting skills, You can come and try."

Except for the heroine Li Mu who still wanted to use Zhang Tianai in "Princess Concubine's Promotion", the other actors were actually chosen at will.

As for Zhang Tianai, in 2009 he filmed a micro-movie called "Luoying", which is regarded as his entry into the industry.Since then, I have started playing tricks, and it has been running for 4 years. In the past 4 years, there has not been a work worth remembering. It is quite sad to say.

According to the original trajectory, she will have another 2 years of tricks, but this time and space obviously don't have to wait that long.

In fact, Li Mu ordered the company to issue an announcement and invite people with good looks and acting skills to come to audition, which already meant to let Zhang Tianai come to him.

Hua Shang announced that he would use newcomers, young actors, or even extras to play the leading roles. This is undoubtedly quite explosive news in the entertainment industry.

Huashang Media's new drama, not to mention the actors and newcomers, even the first and second tiers still have to rush to get ahead?
Since the establishment of Huashang Media, is there any TV series they have made that is not popular?
How many people are popular with this?

It is no exaggeration to say that whoever can get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will stand on the threshold of the first line!
This kind of rare opportunity is still for actors and newcomers. How could Zhang Tianai, who is playing the role, not hear the news?Hearing the news, how could he not resist to try his luck?

Of course, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come. If she doesn't come, Li Mu will probably arrange for someone to come to her in the later stage, but it will be a little strange after all.

One is a cameo actor, and the other is an imposing international director, the chairman of Huashang Media, but the latter personally sent someone to find the former?
This is so bullshit!
Not to mention, Huashang Media's announcement really attracted many future stars.

For example, Nazha, who is currently studying at Beijing Film Academy, is about to be a sophomore.

For example, Chen Yuqi, who is currently a sophomore in the Performing Arts Department of Jincheng College.

For example, Wu Qian, who is currently in her junior year at the Art Department of Wuhan University.

For example, Li Yitong, who has already graduated from Beiwu, doesn't know what to do.

For example, Sun Yi, who is currently in his junior year, but his desire to love acting is about to be uncontrollable.

……

For example, Jiang Shuying, the last casting for "To Youth" was far away in the sky, and Li Mu, who had no intersection with her at all, actually appointed her to play the second female role.

Although it became inexplicably yellow later, "To Youth" has also become a masterpiece that integrates the new four small female roles and the Huashang four golden flowers.But since Mr. Li was able to call her by name last time, it at least shows that Mr. Li has her in his mind, and he relatively approves of her.

If "To Youth" is pornographic, it will be pornographic. As long as Mr. Li recognizes her, she will have a chance sooner or later. Maybe this public casting is specially arranged by Mr. Li for her!

So she has to go this time, and she has to meet Mr. Li in person!
a few days later.

Li Mu looked at the materials of these audition personnel in the office, and was amazed.

"There are so many future stars who haven't debuted yet!"

"The imperial concubine's emperor's harem can accommodate as many actresses as she wants. Now that she's here, as long as she doesn't dislike those with small roles, she will give them a chance!"

"This Li Yitong needs to be signed. Among the actresses born in the 90s, this person can be regarded as an actor, and the signing will be useful in the future."

"Naza is beautiful enough, and his commercial value is high enough in the future, so he can sign it."

"As for the others, others will forget it first."

While Li Mu was fiddling with the pile of materials in front of him, the assistant came in and told him that there was an actress who insisted on seeing him, saying that she wanted to thank him face to face for his proposal to cast her as the second female lead in "To Youth".

As soon as Li Mu heard it, he knew it was Jiang Shuying.

"Let her in!"

It is said to be grateful in person, but in fact, is it to show face in front of Li Mu?If you can get one or two roles, that would be even better!

Li Mu understands these thoughts and expresses his understanding. It is human nature to go to a higher place.

Now that you're here, there's no harm in seeing you.

When Jiang Shuying first entered the door, she was still very nervous, but when the assistant went out and closed the door, and when there were only her and Li Mu left in the office, she relaxed.

"Mr. Li, in fact, I should have come here to thank you in person."

"You mean the casting of "To Youth"? You don't have to thank me for that. Although I had thought of using you, it didn't work out in the end. It made you happy for nothing."

"I must thank you in person. Although things didn't work out later, you can think of me at such an important opportunity. This in itself is the greatest recognition for me. It is you who gave me confidence and made me believe that I can go on here. Believe that I can be a good actor."

"Let's not talk about that, you also signed up for the princess audition, right? I just saw your profile."

"Well, I saw the announcement saying that anyone can sign up, no matter if they are actors or students, so I came here to try my luck."

When Li Mu mentioned the word "Crown Princess", Jiang Shuying's heart beat wildly.

"Next, will he just give me the role of the heroine?"

"Or, will he put forward certain conditions first?"

Then at the moment when Jiang Shuying was full of nervousness, Li Mu spoke.

"You are not suitable for the heroine of "Princess Concubine's Promotion"!"

Jiang Shuying's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while.

Just now she was full of fantasies about Li Mu directly giving her the role, but Li Mu was really very direct, but he directly denied her.

The huge gap between fantasy and reality made her feel a little overwhelmed for a while.

Li Mu looked up at Jiang Shuying.

In the original time and space, she relied on the film "To Youth" to show off her role. Only with "To Youth" did she have those resources later.

Ben Shikong's "To Youth" is gone because of her own reasons, and maybe the follow-up resources that should belong to her will also be gone.

It seems that he has actually caused a serious damage to her acting career.

Yuan Shikong followed up with a TV series "One Servant, Two Masters" starring Yan Ni, Zhang Jiayi and others. This TV series is very popular in the original world, and it can be ranked in the top three TV series of the provincial channel.

The important thing is that this drama happened to be in Huashang Media's plan.

Therefore, sooner or later, she will still be used, and this drama can help her inexplicably damaged career get back to the original track.

So Li Mu said again: "However, our company will have another TV series in the future. The heroine has not been decided yet. I think you may be suitable."
