People in China Entertainment, bring capital into the group at the beginning

On the set of "The Big Winner", Liu Yan was resting on the set. As soon as she took out her mobile phone from her pocket, Chen Zhibin called.

"Hey." After Liu Yan answered the phone, she couldn't help but joked: "I'm such a busy person, why did you remember to call me?"

"I miss you, don't I?" Chen Zhibin replied.

"Real or false?" Liu Yan confirmed.

"Of course it's true, don't you believe it?" Chen Zhibin asked.

"Trust me." Liu Yan quickly replied, "I'm busy filming a new movie right now, so I may not have time to look for you in the near future."

For Chen Zhibin, who did not hesitate to offend everyone but also wanted to protect himself at Bob Beier's wedding, Liu Yan's feelings have always been special.

"It doesn't matter, you have to film well first, and we can see each other more often after a while." Chen Zhibin responded.

"How do you say it?" Liu Yan didn't understand what Chen Zhibin meant.

"Didn't you ask me before when we could work together again? It should be soon." Chen Zhibin replied.

The two have only collaborated in one movie together, and that was "Passing Through Your World", and the two of them in the movie were not screen partners.

At that time, as the second male lead, Chen Zhibin played Mao Shiba, who was a tragic couple with Bai Baihe's Litchi. As for Liu Yan, she played the pig-headed Swallow who couldn't love him. Regardless of whether the movie was a hit or not, this scene was no accident. became popular all over the Internet, and Yanzi became the most classic role she has ever played.

Even though nearly three years have passed since its premiere, this car chase scene is still regarded as a classic on short video platforms.

"Really? That's great." Liu Yan was a little happy when she heard this. She had always thought about having the opportunity to cooperate with Chen Zhibin again!

However, she has never had this opportunity, and Chen Zhibin's popularity in the entertainment industry has risen so fast that she can't catch up even if she wants to.

"What type of play?" Liu Yan asked.

"A fantasy martial arts drama adapted from a novel, a large-scale production, with a guaranteed investment of about 500 million, and external claims should be between 8 and 1 billion." Chen Zhibin and Liu Yan revealed part of the inside story. After all, they are both familiar with it.

There is a certain gap between this real investment and the external claims, which can be said to be normal, because the total investment of the previous life "Qing Yu Nian" was 2.6 million yuan, but the external claims were exaggerated and changed to million yuan.

The purpose of this is to make the audience feel that this drama is a big production, and it will directly fill up the show in terms of appearance and expectations, which is equivalent to a disguised promotional work.

In addition, in the name of cost recovery, paid advance on-demand viewing is launched. Although it is ugly, people will take it for granted in this case.

Does "Qing Yu Nian" actually lose money? Not only did you not lose money, but you made a lot of money!

"So many!" Liu Yan was slightly surprised. In recent years, with the rise of the entertainment industry, actors' salaries have also increased. Even the various salary restrictions implemented before are still of no use in actual implementation.

Because of this, the investment in slightly larger film and television dramas nowadays is basically several hundred million, which is no longer the hundreds or tens of millions it was in the past.

In addition, Liu Yan is not like Chen Zhibin, who has participated in basically hundreds of millions of large-scale productions. Whether it is "The Wandering Earth" or "Flying Life" or "Operation Red Sea" and "The Legend of the Demon Cat", the total investment is Around 500 million, some even far exceed this figure.

Although Liu Yan is well-known in the entertainment industry, she has not yet appeared in such a high-investment film and television drama.

"Didn't I say it, big production." Chen Zhibin replied.

In fact, even under this situation, there are still many investors who have not participated, but even so, it will definitely not be able to continue to rise.

After all, in addition to the large investment share, the most important thing is that the cake market is so big now, and there are also difficulties in recovering too much.

Especially for TV series, it is more difficult than for movies. After all, the latter can still sell well in movie theaters as long as it has a good reputation.

As for the former, in addition to being broadcast on major TV stations and sold to various video platforms, there are also advertisements inserted at the beginning and end of the play.

However, in this era where traffic is king, if the show is particularly popular, this will be a very large amount of income for the crew.

In the era of self-media, no matter in any walk of life, as long as you can play with the Internet and have traffic, you can make money, and make a lot of money.

"Then what role do I play? Is it important?" Liu Yan asked.

She just asked if the role she played was important? I didn't ask if she was the heroine, but I still had some self-awareness. After all, it's such a high investment, and it's also starring with a popular star like Chen Zhibin.

"Sister who plays the male lead, do you think it's important?" Chen Zhibin did not answer Liu Yan's question, but asked instead.

The main reason is that he feels that Liu Yan is quite suitable for this role because of her sexy and charming figure, which can't be covered even with clothes.

In fact, at first Chen Zhibin wanted Xu Dongdong, who had the same charm and even a plumper figure, to play the role, but after careful consideration, he finally chose to give up.

After all, sexy is not coquettish. If it had been played by Xu Dongdong, the fake debauchery in the real drama might have been turned into real debauchery.

"That's okay." Liu Yan nodded with satisfaction. She didn't even need to ask. The male lead must be Chen Zhibin.

"In that case, let's make this decision for now. When you have time later, remember to come over and try it out." Chen Zhibin reminded.

"Ah? Do you still need to audition?" Liu Yan asked doubtfully. She thought Chen Zhibin had already chosen her, but she didn't expect that she would have to audition.

"That's for sure, but don't worry, I'm just here to go through the motions. Even if this role is not suitable, I will just change you to another role." Chen Zhibin comforted. Although he can decide this matter, he still has to try it out to be on the safe side.

Draw a picture first, at worst, wait until after the audition to see which role is suitable for her, and then switch or rearrange it according to the situation. After all, even for the few heroines initially selected by the crew, as well-known actresses in the industry, they had to come to audition first after receiving the invitation.

However, Chen Zhibin was not very satisfied with the female star invited by Liang Shengquan and Lin Yufen. She was well-known enough, but she still felt that it was not interesting.

Liu Yifei, who thought she would not act in TV dramas for more than ten years and focus on her film career, but did not make any big splash, will soon co-star in the costume drama "Meng Hua Lu" with Liu Yan, Chen Xiao and others.

And then there is "Where the Wind Is". The plots of these two dramas cannot be said to be particularly good, they can only be said to be average.

However, because it is the fairy sister Liu Yifei who has returned to the TV drama industry after many years, the popularity is still quite high. Many viewers have followed the entire drama because of the actors, and the number of views is among the best.

As soon as he thought about it, Chen Zhibin immediately asked someone in the industry for the contact information of Liu's mother, Liu Xiaoli, and tentatively sent her an audition invitation.

Originally, I just wanted to give it a try, but unexpectedly, Liu's mother, Liu Xiaoli, actually replied to Chen Zhibin, saying that she could let Liu Yifei give it a try.

After all, Liu Yifei has not appeared in a TV series for more than ten years since she last played the role of Little Dragon Girl in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". According to her plan, she concentrated on movies, and the box office results were higher than the last!

People don't look back until they hit the wall, and their perseverance is such that you can say they have knocked down the wall and still don't intend to look back.

Up to now, Liu Yifei is about to become a famous box office poison in the industry, so her mother Liu Xiaoli has to look around for her to see if there are any good scripts in the TV drama industry so that she can make a comeback!

Just in time, Chen Zhibin's audition invitation was sent. After Liu's mother Liu Xiaoli hesitated for a while, she agreed on behalf of her daughter Liu Yifei.

Here, Chen Zhibin relayed to Liang Shengquan and Lin Yufen that the two directors were quite surprised when they learned that Liu Yifei accepted the audition invitation, but when they were filming the first "Legend of Sword and Fairy" We have worked together. So I am quite looking forward to and recognizing this.

Among the previously invited heroine candidates, Liu Yifei was not included because she had not accepted TV series for a long time, so she automatically ignored her. After all, in the past, Liu Yifei, Liu's mother, had always rejected her outright.

Ever since, the two parties had further communication and agreed on a specific audition time.

On the day of the audition, Liu's mother Liu Xiaoli did not come with her. After all, she is already sixty years old now. Even though she looks very young because she takes better care of herself, she has reached this age after all. The various internal functions of the body are still somewhat inadequate.

I don’t know what some netizens think, but even Chen Zhibin, a pervert, thinks he is interested in a sixty-year-old grandmother.

Due to his thief nature, although he likes his sisters and aunts, most of them are mature women under the age of forty, and the oldest is no more than forty-five. At least they are middle-aged ladies who still have charm.

As for sixty-year-olds, even if they are well-maintained, their body functions cannot be deceived. They are almost at the age of menopause.

Although Liu's mother, Liu Xiaoli, did not come in person, she still arranged a female assistant for her daughter to follow Liu Yifei and help her deal with some trivial matters in life and other problems, which can be said to be every detail.

Although Liu Yifei has been famous for a long time, and Liu Yifei has been popular in the entertainment industry for a long time with the title of Little Dragon Girl and Fairy Sister, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old when she debuted, so she is not very old.

So far, she is only thirty-two years old, which is only a few years older than Chen Zhibin. In addition, female stars in the entertainment industry generally take good care of themselves, so the two of them don't look like they have anything to do when they stand together. There is a big age difference, and because they are all handsome men and beautiful women, they have a strong sense of camaraderie. At first glance, they look like a leading pair of handsome men and beautiful women.

Sure enough, good-looking people are the center of attention wherever they go, especially when two good-looking people appear under the same roof at the same time.

And today happened to be the day Liu Yan made an appointment to come over for the audition. She was chatting with Chen Zhibin, but when she saw the people coming at the door, she couldn't help but lean in next to her and quietly sighed: "You guys have Liu Yifei." The invitation came, doesn’t she only make movies, not TV series?”

As an insider, Liu Yan still knows about this matter. After all, with the popularity Liu Yifei has accumulated in the entertainment industry through her previous TV series, if she chooses to star in a TV series, most of the scripts will be sent to her first, and the rest will be sent to her. It fell into the hands of other actresses in the industry.

Thick blood is not just a matter of words!

"This just shows the strength of our crew." Chen Zhibin responded with a shrug towards Liu Yan.

"Director Lin, Director Liang, Director Huang, long time no see." After coming in, Liu Yifei first said hello to the three directors Liang Shengquan, Lin Yufen and Huang Junwen, whom she knew because they had collaborated in the early years.

"Xiao Liu, long time no see." Lin Yufen and the others also responded. The three of them are old acquaintances with Liu's mother, Liu Xiaoli, so they basically treat Liu Yifei, who is much younger than them, as a junior.

Of course, Liu Yifei has not forgotten Chen Zhibin, the investor and leading actor. After all, if she had not sent an audition invitation, she would not have had the opportunity to audition for this TV series.

In addition, when she came, Liu's mother Liu Xiaoli had already told her daughter that Chen Zhibin, the male lead, had the most power in the crew.

Strictly speaking, even if Chen Zhibin wants to change several directors of "Sword and Fairy", he can't change them.

Of course, this only refers to Chen Zhibin’s rights. He himself is definitely not that willful!

"Hello, Teacher Chen, I have watched many of your movies." Liu Yifei also said a simple hello to Chen Zhibin alone.

"Both and each other, I have also watched many of your plays." Chen Zhibin responded in the same way. Although the age difference between the two is only a few years, in fact the two debuted more than ten years apart. Even if they grew up watching each other's dramas, it is not too much.

Including Yang Zi, Chen Zhibin grew up watching her "Family with Children". At that time, he probably never thought that when he grew up, he would not only be able to act with each other, but also do other things .

The two chatted for a few words, and then the audition officially began. Liang Shengquan, Lin Yufen and others first asked Liu Yifei to try out some of Jiang Ni's lines.

Immediately afterwards, the staff took her to put on makeup and change clothes. In the meantime, Chen Zhibin and others continued to audition other actors.

And here, Liu Yan, who had also changed clothes and put on makeup, still fit the original image very well. In addition, there was no problem with her lines, so she completed the audition after a simple cut scene. .

The more troublesome thing is that you still have to take off your makeup and change clothes. The total audition time is not as long as the time of makeup and clothes change!

The purpose of this is also to make the image of the actors who come to audition more suitable for the role, so as to avoid passing the audition in terms of lines and actions, and in the end the image is not very consistent with the original novel, which would be quite troublesome.

As professional actors, Liu Yifei and Liu Yan both knew the process, so even if it was a little troublesome, they didn't have any complaints. (End of chapter)
