China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 318: Stormy Waves Rescue Audition
After confirming the release date of Crazy Stone, Zhang Nanyi and Liu Xiaoli came to the office to make tea.

After a while, Zhang Jizong also came to the company.

"Uncle, last night I had a drink with Min Zhengjiang, the director of Bayi Film Studio. He was very interested in the Soldier Assault project. Please meet him when you have time.

By cooperating with [-], the quality of our drama is more guaranteed. "

Zhang Jizong was not very happy when he heard that Zhang Nanyi had contacted Eighty One Studios. He sighed and said: "I have made so many film and television works, and they are basically based on heroism.

Now I have to shoot military-themed films, which require teamwork. I really have to get used to it again.

Hope your judgment is correct. "

Zhang Jizong originally planned to film Jin Yong's martial arts film Blue Blood Sword, but Zhang Nanyi stopped it.

If someone else had stopped Zhang Jizong's project, Zhang Jizong would have told him to get lost.

After all, after the success of The Deer and the Cauldron, Zhang Jizong is now a hot name in the TV drama circle, with investors lining up waiting for his favor.

Coupled with Zhang Jizong's network of contacts, he does not need to rely on the company. He can quickly recruit a crew with just his words.

In this case, Zhang Nanyi can stop Zhang Ji Zong's project.

In the past few years, Zhang Nanyi has been successful in everything from investing in Wangyi stocks to filming TV series and starting various companies, and his judgment is very accurate.

Zhang Jizong still admires his nephew's mind and foresight very much.

Coupled with his concern and affection for Zhang Nanyi, Zhang Jizhong hesitated again and again, and finally chose to listen to Zhang Nanyi, stop the Blue Blood Sword, and shoot the Soldier Assault project instead.

Zhang Nanyi heard Zhang Jizong's words, made him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Lan Xiaolong is still perfecting the script of Soldier Assault. When the script is all released, uncle, if you read it a few times, you will find that this TV series In fact, it is also heroism.

In essence, it is the growth story of a generation of military kings. It not only expresses the spirit of the troops to never abandon or give up, but also shows the growth of heroes.

If you are not sure about the style of Soldier Assault, you should discuss it with Director Kang Honglei. He is very talented in this area. "

Zhang Jizong took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Well-off people are pretty good. Although they don't look very good, their brains are still very flexible."

If we really talk about the seniority relationship, Kang Honglei can be regarded as Zhang Jizong's apprentice.

From the assistant director of "Water Margin", "Swallow Li San", "The Swordsman" to the director of "The Burning Years", "Tsing Yi" and "Migrant Workers", every step of Kang Honglei's growth is inseparable from Zhang Ji Zong’s support.

Especially the three TV series later directed by Kang Honglei, all of which were produced by Zhang Jizong.

During the preparations for "Passionate Years", the investors did not agree with Kang Honglei, who had no independent directing experience, to be the director. Zhang Jizhong also strongly changed the investors in order to let Kang Honglei, which made Kang Honglei famous.

Therefore, it is natural for him to be called "well-off".

Zhang Jizong has a very good relationship with Kang Honglei, which is why Zhang Nanyi asked Zhang Jizong to transform and choose to start with soldier assault.

As for the screenwriter Lan Xiaolong, he is also the screenwriter of Zhang Jizong's version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. He and Zhang Jizong are also old acquaintances.

I can only say that the bearded uncle’s connections in the TV drama circle are really strong.

Zhang Nanyi took a sip of tea and saw that Zhang Jizhong was still a little regretful because he couldn't film Blue Blood Sword. He advised: "Once any subject becomes popular, more TV series will follow suit, and two or three TV series will not be filmed." Years later, the clichés of the theme have been played through, and the audience will become bored.

What's more, the martial arts genre itself is very limited.

Uncle, if you withdraw at this time, what is left behind is a peak.

The more bad martial arts movies you shoot later, the higher your reputation will be.

Especially Jin Yong's martial arts drama. Every time it is remade in the future, our Tian Long Ba Bu, The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Deer and the Cauldron will be crowned gods.

As the saying goes, if you try your best, disaster will inevitably come. If you make Blue Blood Sword again, will the reputation and ratings be better than The Deer and the Cauldron?It's definitely not possible.

Once the film is done well, it will be like that. Once it is not filmed well, the audience will still scold you and the reputation you have accumulated will collapse.

Why bother doing such a thankless thing? "

Seeing that Zhang Jizong seemed to have listened, Zhang Nanyi continued: "What's more, although uncle, you have transformed, the span is not big.

From Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, to Jin Yong's martial arts dramas, you are good at large-scale scene management, which can also be used in military films.

When it comes to the management of big scenes, the two in China are Zhang Yimou and Zhang Jizong. This is recognized in the industry. "

Zhang Nanyi's last sentence was purely his own creation, which made Zhang Jizong very comfortable. The bearded man quickly took a sip of tea to cover up the smile on his face.

"That's right! I completely agree with what Mr. Zhang said!"

Han Sanpin just walked in. Hearing Zhang Nanyi's words, he immediately followed Zhang Nanyi in touting him with high emotional intelligence.

Behind him are directors Lin Chaoxian, Yu Min and martial arts director Yuan Bin.

It was finally decided that Jingtai Rescue would be co-directed by Lin Chaoxian and Yu Min, and Yuan Bin was hired as the martial arts director.

This arrangement was decided by Zhang Nanyi. On the one hand, Lin Chaoxian was very talented in making military action movies and could ensure the quality of the movie. On the other hand, Yu Min was allowed to follow the director to learn and experience.

After all, Yu Min is a contracted director of his own company, so he still needs to be trained.

After Zhang Ji Zong stopped filming martial arts dramas, Yu Min had no projects to film for the time being. It was good to learn and accumulate some time.

Essentially, Yu Min is the assistant director of the film, but for external publicity, he is the co-director.Seeing that there were many people in the office, Zhang Jizong and Liu Xiaoli exchanged greetings with Han Sanpin and others before leaving.

Zhang Nanyi began to boil water again to scald the tea cup.

After Han Sanpin sat down, he said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, there are so many actresses in your company, I didn't expect that the heroine would have to audition externally."

Zhang Nanyi sighed and said helplessly: "I can't help it, the actresses in the company are spoiled by me, and they don't like the heroine of a billion-dollar movie.

None of them want to act. "

Although Zhang Nanyi's words are true, they are indeed a bit Versailles, and a faint smell permeates the office.

Han Sanpin was also stunned for a moment, and then said: "I thought Mr. Zhang had very high requirements for the movie and must choose a suitable heroine."

Zhang Nanyi shook his head, "That's not necessary. Third Master, if you have a good actress, don't hide your clumsiness and just call her over to avoid increasing our workload."

Today's audition is not to audition all the actors for the movie "Jing Tong Rescue", but mainly to select the five members of the special operations team where the protagonist belongs.

These five people must enter the army in advance and undergo special training for a period of time.

For the rest of the roles, just pick them slowly, not in a hurry.

The so-called heroine is one of the five-person special operations team.

With the protagonist Zhang Yifeng highlighted, the female protagonist really doesn't have many roles. If Han Sanpin has ideas for this role, it's not impossible to give him a face.

Han Sanpin laughed loudly and said, "That's not true. There are many actresses outside today. Let's give them a fair chance to compete."

Zhang Nanyi's new movie has an investment of over [-] million and is co-produced by China Film and Nanyi Culture. This kind of generous investment can be said to be the top resource in the industry.

Women look down on Zhang Nanyi. That's because following Zhang Nanyi, she is very confident, and other actresses in the industry are eyeing this role.

Zhang Nanyi didn't understand what Han Sanpin meant by fair competition at first.

When they finished drinking tea and came to the conference room that was decorated as an audition room, Zhang Nanyi understood what Han Sanpin meant when he saw that the first actress who came in was Li Binbin.

This is a tactful reminder to Zhang Nanyi to be fair in casting and not to treat Li Binbin differently because of his grievances with Huayi.

Huaying, where Han Sanpin works, represents the government and has a relatively neutral attitude. They cooperate with both Nanyi Culture and Huayi, so they don't have much bias.

Although Zhang Nanyi has stronger personal connections and financial strength, Huayi is better at doing business, and usually provides a lot of benefits to Han Sanpin and Huaying.

In contrast, Zhang Nanyi is business-like and there is no mess.

Han Sanpin only hinted that he wanted to be treated fairly. Not only did he not ask for special treatment, he didn't even say so. He already gave Zhang Nanyi a lot of face.

After Li Binbin introduced himself, he showed off a performance and martial arts moves.

To be honest, both in terms of appearance and temperament, Li Binbin is very suitable for the heroine Li Rong, and she is also well-known, so it is very suitable to play the heroine.

Zhang Nanyi looked at the charming Li Binbin and asked: "You are an actor from Huayi, and you have acted in movies produced by our company, and your sister is still an agent in our company. Aren't you worried that Mr. Wang will treat you badly?" Are you suspicious?"

Li Binbin glanced at Han Sanpin and said, "Don't worry, I'm just an actor. I just have to do my job and interpret each role well."

Li Binbin's eyes had already told Zhang Nanyi the answer.

It was Han Sanpin's initiative that she came to participate in Jingtao Rescue. With Han Sanpin pulling the strings, Hua Yicai was not worried.

Zhang Nanyi applauded and said with a smile: "Well said, I appreciate a serious and dedicated actor like you, Binbin. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses its tree to roost. I wonder if Binbin has any thoughts of changing jobs?"

Hearing Zhang Nanyi's words, Li Binbin was caught off guard. She didn't know how to reply. Han Sanpin's face was a bit ugly. He said to Li Binbin: "Mr. Zhang is joking. Binbin, please go down first."

After Li Binbin left, Han Sanpin said: "Mr. Zhang, I borrowed Binbin from Huayi. I guaranteed it for Xiao Wang. It's hard for me to explain to you when you poach people like this."

Zhang Nan smiled and said: "There is nothing difficult to explain. The day before yesterday, the little king of Huayi instigated Fan Bingbing to poach my company's Yang Xue, so I will naturally fight back.

This matter has nothing to do with you, Mr. Han. Even if Li Binbin doesn't come to the audition today, I will find time to scout her. "

Huayi wanted to poach people from its own company, so Zhang Nanyi certainly would not remain indifferent. He took advantage of the opportunity of the audition to directly tell everyone, "I want to poach Li Binbin. Let's see if Huayi is not panicked."

It is impossible for Huayi not to panic.

After Wang Jinhua left, there were not many big-name artists in Huayi. Li Binbin was one of the pillars. Being poached would not only result in loss of profits, but also loss of reputation.

If a company cannot keep its stars, and big-name stars leave one after another, the strength of the company will be questioned both inside and outside the industry.

Moreover, Li Binbin's sister Li Chong works as an agent in Zhang Nanyi's company, so the probability of Zhang Nanyi successfully recruiting people is very high.

Han Sanpin's expression improved a little when he heard what Zhang Nanyi said.

From this point of view, Zhang Nanyi poached Li Binbin not because Han Sanpin asked Li Binbin to play Li Rong, but because of the grudge that Huayi poached first, as long as it has nothing to do with him.

What Han Sanpin wants is a neutral attitude.

Through this conversation, Han Sanpin also figured out what Zhang Nanyi was thinking, and that he was going to fight Huayi to the end.

He adjusted his mood and said to the staff: "Please invite the next actor."
