"Xingtong Studio recently announced that it will start shooting three TV dramas at the same time. A martial arts "Legend of the Condor Heroes" has an investment of 7000 million yuan, an overhead historical court drama "Bubu Jingxin" has an investment of 8000 million yuan, and a fairy tale drama The drama "A Thousand Bone of Flowers" invested [-] million yuan, although Ning Cheng has not been the director of any TV series, but with Xingtong Studio's good reputation in the industry, I believe that these three major dramas will definitely not disappoint everyone!" --- Huaxia Entertainment News.

"Xingtong Studio's press conference announced a big move. The total investment of the three major dramas exceeds [-] million yuan. Although compared with the [-] million yuan of Huayi's one drama, Xingtong Studio seems a bit petty, but everyone who has seen Xingtong's work Audiences of the studio’s previous works must be more willing to believe in the consistently good reputation of Xingtong Studio, after all, the quality of a film and television drama is not just a matter of spending money!” ——Kingdu Film and Television Express.

"The three major dramas of Xingtong Studio started at the same time, and the three members of NLZ starred in the female lead of the three dramas, and officially started to enter the film and television industry with great fanfare. It's just three young girls in their early 20s. But what about the heroine who can afford a big drama? We will wait and see!” ——Modu Entertainment Weekly.

In addition to the big reports from the entertainment media, fans of NLZ celebrated this exciting moment on the Internet.

Although the three of Ning Tong also filmed "Dragon Ba Bu" before, but because the focus was still on music at the beginning, everyone didn't care, but this time, after the three of Ning Tong announced that they would shift their focus to the film and television industry The first work plan is tantamount to the first step for the three of Ning Tong to formally enter the film and television industry. Fans naturally want to join in the celebration, not to mention that the producers of the three major dramas are all Xingtong Studios. Everyone has reason to believe that they The idol's appearance this time is bound to be a great success, because Xingtong Studio has never failed once since its establishment, just like Ning Sheng's career, it has never failed!
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Ning Cheng finally made a move for the three girls of NLZ. There are three major dramas in the first place. Although I'm a little disappointed that they didn't go directly to the movies, but as long as the TV dramas are filmed, they can increase their popularity. Waiting for the TV dramas to pass If you hone your acting skills, I believe that director Ning Sheng's new movie has already been prepared for Ning Tong and the three of them!"

"The last time Shishi played Wang Yuyan in "Tian Long Ba Bu" was very beautiful. This time it is said that it is a court drama. I don't know what it will be like? I really want to see it!"

"Ning Tong played the role of Huang Rong, the number one beauty of the Condor Shooting. After waiting for so many years, the trilogy of the Condor Shooting finally ushered in the last one. What will Ning Tong's Huang Rong look like? I am looking forward to it. Finally, I What I want to know is, who will play Guo Jing? If he is not worthy of my family, we will definitely not agree!"

"Ying Bao has directly acted in the Xianxia drama. What kind of TV drama will Ying Bao act in that is flying around in the sky? Speaking of which, what kind of story is this TV drama Hua Qiangu? Is it a comedy?"

The fans of NLZ on the Internet are talking non-stop about their idol's new drama every day, all kinds of latest news, and gossip.

However, compared to the fans of NLZ, the fans of TNY, a girl group known as NTZ's high imitation version, are not in harmony.

"Why does Yolanda go to film a TV series alone, we Tiffany and Nancy have to suspend activities, do nothing and waste time waiting, see how NLZ does it, or we can sing together, or enter the film and television industry together Filming in the circle, it’s not like our TNY is in a state of disunity, the company only has one Yolanda in their eyes, and the other two members are ignored? It’s really disappointing!”

"That is, when we attended the event together before, the three of them seemed so close. They said that they are as close as sisters. Now you can see why the three of NLZ's Ning Tong are the original version, and TNY is called a high imitation. It is because of the three If the members themselves are not united, do you want others to like you?"

"As the leader of the group, shouldn't Yolanda focus on the development of the group? Why is it appropriate for you to go to the filming by yourself and leave the other two members aside? If you don't want to be a group, you should do it as soon as possible Leave, let the company replace a responsible person to lead TNY!"

"Don't yell, everything is about our Yolanda. Hua Yi arranged a TV series for Yolanda, but not for the other two members. That is the company's decision. How can you blame Yolanda? What's more, maybe the other two The acting skills of the members are not up to standard, so the company has no choice but to assign a role to Yolanda alone? You don’t know anything, so don’t talk nonsense, okay?”

"That's right, do you think that Huayi Group is a small company like Xingtong Studio? Huayi's artist arrangements are arranged by the company. Artists have no right to speak. Our Yolanda is also very innocent, okay? Let's complain about the company. Before arranging film and television resources for the other two members, you should first see if the other two members are suitable for acting, okay?"

Yolanda was at home, looking at the gap between her own fans and NLZ fans on the Internet, she really wanted to teach these TNY fans who were arguing with each other a lesson, it was a shame!
However, after she got angry, she still called her manager and talked about the work arrangement of the other two members of the group. She hadn't thought of this at all before, but now there are three members of NLZ acting like this. If Bian didn't say anything, wouldn't it be true that as those fans on the Internet said, the sisterhood is too fake, and that combination is very bad for her future development.

Although she can't open two new dramas for the two members and let them be the protagonists, it proves that they have a good relationship with each other, and it doesn't have to be a TV drama together. As some fans said, not everyone is suitable for acting yes.

After hearing her painting, the agent quickly arranged new jobs for the other two members of the group, one to participate in a TV station's music program as a mentor, and the other to be a resident guest on a variety show this season.Although the two programs are not currently popular variety shows, they are both TV programs after all, and the grade is still good.That's the power and connections of a big company broker.

After that, Yolanda contacted the other two members of the group by phone, and talked about the infighting among fans on the Internet. By the way, they announced their respective new jobs, and wished each other success in their work!

Yolanda is busy appeasing fans and dealing with negative factors that may affect her good image.

Ning Cheng, on the other hand, was busy making allocations to the investment companies of the three TV dramas. Because he invested in three TV dramas at once, Ning Sheng did not reject other film and television companies that were eager to join the investment this time. Star Film, Hantang Film, Tianfeng Film and many other companies want to join together.

Ning Sheng didn't accept all of them. First of all, "Legend of the Condor Heroes" invested 7000 million yuan, Xingtong Studio contributed 500 million yuan, and Lotte Film and Television contributed 500 million yuan. They should each take half, and no other new investments will be accepted.

As for "Scary Step by Step" with an investment of 8000 million, Xingtong Studio contributed 4000 million and accounted for half of it, and then accepted the investment of 8000 million from Hantang Film and Television and Star Film and Television, making up the total investment of [-] million.

Xingtong Studio contributed 5000 million for the last 1000 million "A Thousand Bone of Flowers", and then Tianfeng Film and Television, Jiahe Film and Television, Suoya Film and Television, Yinghuang Entertainment, and Wireless Media contributed [-] million each, making up a total of [-] million.

The allocated investment, within three days, these funds will arrive in the account one after another, and then the three directors each booked a room in the hotel and started a large-scale casting audition.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is okay, because we have collaborated with many old actors when filming "The Legend of Condor Heroes". The time has been checked for decades, so all actors who are similar to the Quanzhen Seven must be replaced.

However, what the director cares most about in this drama is the casting of Guo Jing and Yang Kang. Although Ning Sheng has handed over the selection work to Director Zhang, he still pays attention to it from time to time.

And the stars who came to audition for the roles of the first male lead and the second male lead are also idols, acting school, old and new actors.

The idol school wants to prove their strength with this drama, the acting school wants to use this drama to increase their popularity, the old actors want to become popular, and the new actors want to have a better development prospect. In short, the TV series of Xingtong Studio, For actors in the circle, it is the fastest and most stable channel to support people!
It's just that Yang Kang's role is okay, but it's really hard to decide on Guo Jing as the protagonist.

In addition to the audition work for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the audition work for the other two dramas "A Thousand Bone Flower" and "Scary Step by Step" is also going on simultaneously.

Bai Zihua, the leading actor in "A Thousand Bone of Flowers", was the first confirmed candidate. Ning Cheng was a little surprised that the actor was Jiao Enjun, who had worked with "Little Li Feidao" before. Bai Zihua is Xiaogu's master, so he should be older, and the makeup artist and stylist's finalized photos are really great, and the aura of a fairy world boss is convincing.

And another one of the Five Immortals, Xia Zixun, an actor who is also an acquaintance of Ning Sheng, sister Yu Honghong came to audition suddenly, and was settled by Director Xu on the spot.

Afterwards, Sister Honghong called him, "Director Ning, I'm working for you again, shouldn't you, a big boss, reward me, an old employee!" Ning Cheng had no choice but to hurry out and invite Sister Honghong to dinner.

As for the other important roles Dongfang Yuqing and Sha Qianmo, as long as the acting skills are good, it is not difficult to determine the candidates.

And the last "Scary Step by Step" is what Ning Cheng cares about. Apart from the fact that the director is the first co-worker compared to the other two, there are more important actors in this drama, more than a dozen princes, and some princes' wives Candidates are not sloppy.

Director Li Quan also seized the time to read the novel and the script several times, and then during the audition, everyone was serious and worked hard. Of course, it may also be too strict, except for one emperor who is in charge of the old drama star Liu Songren. Only a few supporting roles have been confirmed, such as the emperor's concubine, and the eighth prince's wife and concubine, but the important candidates for the fourth, eighth, and fourteenth princes have not been decided.

Ning Sheng didn't intervene immediately, but waited patiently until a week later, Li Quan came to the studio early with a folder to find him.

"Director Ning, these are some actors I have screened out, but I am a little hesitant about who will play that role, and I have been unable to decide. Please help me to see!" Li Quan said and handed over the folder in his hand past.

Ning Cheng took it and opened it with a smile, and said with a smile, "Then you do it first, and I'll take a look first!"

"Okay." Li Quan picked up the green tea brought by the staff, and quietly waited for Ning Sheng to read the information.

Ning Cheng flipped through the documents, and found that these audition personnel really took him by surprise again.This thick folder almost includes the most popular first-line idol stars, not only in the film and television industry, but also in cross-border development, such as Lu Han who left the Korean group EXO and returned to China to develop, Wu Yifan, Huang Zitao, There are also Zhang Yixin, who is now soaring in popularity with the domestic variety show "Extreme Challenge", new popular idols in the film and television industry Yang Yang, Zhang Han, Chen Weiting, Li Yifeng, and several leading young people in the film and television industry, such as Gu Tianle, Zhang Jiahui, Zhang Yishan and others.

After reading the information, Ning Sheng looked at Li Quan and said, "The managers of these people often chat with you, don't they?"

Li Quan smiled wryly and said, "It's not just chatting, there are a few people who are like salesmen running sales and selling buildings. If I didn't say that the role candidates need to be seen by you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to tell them."

Ning Cheng patted the folder with a smile and said, "That's fine, since they are in such a hurry, it must be much easier to negotiate the salary."

Li Quan nodded and said, "That's true. Several agents told me directly that as long as they can let their artists perform, even a [-]% discount is fine."

Today is not the era when Xiaoxianrou is in power. Even the most popular Lu Han and others, the salary for TV dramas is at most 5000 million. Although it is still higher than the average first-line TV drama actors, but compared to previous years The salary of hundreds of millions of dollars is now much more rational and reasonable.What's more, if they are participating in a movie, or the work of a big director, the salary can still be reduced.

Thanks to China's current peak of talent in the entertainment industry, there are three generations of old, middle-aged and young talents, so even if an idol star on the popularity list does not have excellent works, he will not be able to get tough, especially when facing someone like Ning Sheng. When it comes to big directors, or big bosses with huge resources in their hands, those managers are not much better than those salesmen!

Ning Cheng thought about it, and then said to Li Quan, "This drama is a movie with a lot of group dramas, but it's still an idol drama at heart, it's just covered in a layer of history. The actors can choose a few popular ones, such as reckless The lovely Tenth Prince can be played by Lu Han, the surly Ninth Prince can be played by Wu Yifan, as for the Eighth Prince, this is a male number two who needs certain acting skills, you can choose Zhang Jiahui, or someone with good acting skills to play As for the fourth prince, I think it's better to let Gu Tianle, who has the best acting skills, play the role. There are other princes, the second prince, and other princes who don't have many roles. You can also try your hand at popular idols with average acting skills. , Of course, although their acting skills will be a little worse, but during the shooting process, you have to grasp the scale yourself, and you can't be too fake, so that people can watch the show, that's not okay!"

Li Quan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't make fun of my work!"

Then Ning Sheng continued, "The thirteenth prince can give Zhang Yixin a try, and the fourteenth prince can give Lin Gengxin a try. Finally, let them dress up and play a play for these characters. If it is possible, then arrange it like this. If not, then replace it." , on this point, when you negotiate the contract with them, make it clear—”

"Okay, I wrote it down!" Li Quan wrote down something in a notebook as if he wanted to teach students who were listening carefully!
