Chapter 264 Forming the crew

The real battle between movie stars is all planned. According to the script, they really explode their acting skills in front of the camera and compete with each other. The wind was surging, and the soft spring breeze seemed to have taken a turn between the two movie stars, spiraling up into the blue sky.

system hint. [Host: Chen Daomin. Age: 43 years old, acting skills: 989, popularity: 970,,,,,,. 】

This is the power of a veteran actor, this is the intimidation of a veteran actor. Standing there, he is full of drama. Regardless of acting skills or popularity, they are all top-notch. At this time, Chen Daomin quickly restrained his aura and said with an elegant attitude: "Not many young people can have this kind of aura. As the best actor, you are well-deserved." Chen Daomin generally They are the kind of actors who cherish their words like gold. If they can say this, it at least shows that Chen Daomin recognizes Ye Ming's acting skills.

After the atmosphere calmed down, Ye Ming immediately said: "Teacher Chen, I have a TV series here, and I hope to invite you to participate." Chen Daomin said noncommittally: "TV series, bring me the book first and let me take a look."

Film kings of Chen Daomin's level cherish their feathers very much, and their film remuneration has no impact on them. Chen Daomin is more interested in the quality of TV series. Therefore, when Chen Daomin is filming, he is It's very important, and the opponent is also very important. No matter how you say it, this is a very dedicated actor. Ye Ming took it out and Du Liang wrote [Bright Sword].

At this time, after watching the beginning, Chen Daomin frowned a little: "Anti-Japanese War films, generally I am not very good at accepting films of this type." Because Chen Daomin is actually very clear about his own elegant style. The image of an intellectual is somewhat limiting to oneself. Therefore, the roles that can be chosen are generally closer to such a thing. Anti-Japanese war dramas are still relatively unfamiliar to him.

At this time, Ye Ming immediately said: "Teacher Chen, don't worry. In fact, the role played by you is that of a political commissar. He is also a civilian soldier. It fits your temperament very well." A civilian soldier , in such a situation, this matter aroused Chen Daomin's interest, and he immediately had the intention to continue reading. After watching it for more than ten minutes, even Li Xuejian, who was talking about what happened just now, was attracted.

Li Xuejian is also a famous character. From the longing Song Dacheng to Song Jiang in Water Margin, they are all classic images on the screen.

This Li Xuejian is the kind of old man who is usually thrown into a crowd like an old man guarding the door, but he is a movie king and a relatively reserved movie king.

Li Xuejian walked over and said with a smile: "What kind of show is it that can make Teacher Chen so fascinated?" Li Xuejian is from Qilu. He was born in a land of heroes. He is not familiar with the Water Margin culture. As for saying Sometimes it's hard to change my native accent when speaking. Ye Ming glanced at Li Xuejian and was stunned, [Name, Li Xuejian, age: forty-four, acting skills: 968, popularity: 996,,,,,,. 】

This is an actor with a higher reputation than Chen Daomin. This actually fully illustrates an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry. People with high acting skills may not necessarily be well-known. Of course, people with high reputation must have high acting skills. . For example, if your acting skills reach the level of a movie star, then your popularity will be based on a good-looking role. If you play a good role, your popularity will naturally increase.

Li Xuejian's acting skills may be a little lower than Chen Daomin's, but they are still limited and he is also a veteran actor. However, the movie "Water Margin" pushed Li Xuejian, who played Song Jiang, to a household name. Not every actor has the opportunity to star in Tianchao TV's new year's drama and achieve such good results.

[Water Margin], one of the four great classics, the legacy accumulated over thousands of years has created Song Jiang’s current status. The actor Li Xuejian’s popularity has naturally increased.

At this time, Chen Daomin came out of the script and said: "It's a very good book. Not bad. I have never seen a book like this before. Teacher Li can take a look. I think you will like it." .”

At this time, Li Xuejian's eyes suddenly lit up. People who are familiar with him know that once Li Xuejian reaches such a state, it means that he is interested. After taking the script and reading the beginning, Li Xuejian was stunned. It was an anti-war drama, but it was recommended by Chen Daomin. Therefore, he didn't say anything. He was patient and planned to watch it for a while, but as he watched, his whole body They were all immersed in the script. Entering the scene, at this time Li Xuejian and Chen Daomin are the same, starting to enter the scene. Once they enter the scene, the time will pass very quickly.

More than ten minutes later, Li Xuejian closed the script, sighed and said, "It's a good book. What do you think of it, Mr. Chen?" Although the words were compliments, Ye Ming could hear that there was still suspicion behind them. It seemed that Li Xuejian himself couldn't make up his mind.

Chen Daomin pondered for a while and said, "It's like walking a tightrope. Once a TV series like this is filmed, it will go from heaven to hell. There is absolutely no middle ground. I am actually looking forward to the role of the political commissar in it." Li Xuejian nodded. , a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes and said: "Well, you can make up your own mind. If this TV series can be broadcast, it will probably have a big influence."

Li Xuejian didn't say anything more, but shook his head and finally walked away without saying anything else. Chen Daomin had his own concerns, and it was not easy for Li Xuejian to interfere. It just means that after walking away, Li Xuejian turned around and looked at the book again, and then walked away unwillingly. Ye Ming naturally saw all this in his eyes. From Li Xuejian's eyes, Ye Ming saw a hint of enthusiasm. At this time, he couldn't help but think to himself, could it be that Li Yunlong's opponent will fall on Teacher Li Xuejian?

However, Li Xuejian's hesitation can still be seen at this time, and now it depends on Chen Daomin's choice. Both of them are actors of the same level, so once Chen Daomin chooses the role of political commissar at this time, the following things will be easier to handle.

Ye Ming immediately said: "Teacher Chen, what do you think of this character? It is more in line with your temperament, right?"

Chen Daomin nodded and said: "The image of intellectuals among soldiers is quite challenging. So, I accepted this drama."

With these words, a stone in Ye Ming's heart finally fell to the ground. At this time, as long as Chen Daomin agreed to play the role of political commissar, then the drama would be half successful.

At this time, Chen Daomin looked at Li Xuejian's back and said, "I also saw it just now. This old Li actually likes this drama very much. If you work harder, maybe you can get old Li to join in." , when it reaches that level of luxury, then the show will be really interesting." If a crew can have three actors at the Best Actor level, it will be difficult not to attract attention.

At this time, Ye Ming did not go to Li Xuejian directly. This time he came to invite teacher Chen Daomin, so he could not go to Li Xuejian again. Otherwise, what would Li Xuejian think? You come to Chen Daomin and invite me over. , look down on me, don’t you? This is also a taboo in the entertainment industry.

So Ye Ming went out for a walk and had lunch.

At this time, in the crew of [Sword of Shang Fang], Chen Daomin was carrying a lunch box and chatting with Li Xuejian. In the crew, big names like Chen Daomin and Li Xuejian can eat Xiaozao. However, if the conditions do not allow , Eating boxed lunches is actually nothing. Even for superstars like Tom Cruise and Cheng Long, eating boxed lunches is normal.

At this time, Chen Daomin also saw that Li Xuejian had something on his mind, and he said with a smile: "How about it, Lao Li, are you still thinking about Ye Ming's book?" Li Xuejian finally woke up from his daze. He nodded and said: "What a good book. It is indeed a good book. Although it is a bit dangerous, if the key ring is really released, it must be a ground-breaking show."

Some people say that it is not easy for a crew to find big-name celebrities for filming. However, if a big-name star wants to find a good script, it is not an easy task at this time. At this time, Chen Daomin suddenly pointed to the distance and said: "Don't think about it. This guy Ye Ming is here. I know that this guy is very naughty. He knows all the rules in the circle, otherwise I would have invited you this morning." "

The next morning, in the office of the film studio, Han Shanping took the script and read the first few chapters carefully. From a professional point of view, Han Shanping frowned and said, "Danger, the image of soldiers on the screen is average." They are all high-ranking people. If you were talking about a TV series like this, when you went to the General Administration to approve the project, didn't they say anything else?"

Ye Ming was a little undecided, so he asked Han Shanping to endorse him. He immediately expressed his worries: "Actually, when the project was reviewed, no one said anything. After all, the novel did not violate the general principles. In principle, this novel was originally about a special period, but I asked the screenwriter to delete it. It would not touch that period until after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Therefore, when the project was approved, no one said anything about the script. .”

Han Shanping looked at Ye Ming with some confusion and said: "What do you mean?" Ye Ming said very decisively: "Isn't next year the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China? I mean,,,,,,,." And in the capital In a villa, Fang Dongsheng's eyes were cold and he said in a vicious voice: "Ye Ming, this kid, has been quite proud these past two days. I heard that Brilliant Film and Television is going to start filming a TV series, right? Such things are ours An opportunity. How is your investigation going?"

Luo Xiumei puffed up and said, "Don't worry, Director Wang from the General Administration personally called and sent the news that Ye Ming's TV series has already been submitted for project approval. Moreover, Mr. Fang, you can read the script. Director Wang has I said it, Ye Ming is looking for death on his own."

Fang Dongsheng calmed down his excitement and took the book to read. After reading a few pages, he burst out laughing and said, "This boy is indeed very courageous. He can do such a thing. I dare say that no TV station would dare to show a TV series like this, even if it was produced by himself, and the only ending would be to be banned."

The images of soldiers on the screen are all high-end again. Therefore, Fang Dongsheng felt very happy watching it. Ye Ming, this kid, is seeking death.

At this moment, Fang Dongsheng couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and laughed wildly and said: "Ye Ming, you kid, don't think that just because you have won a Golden Horse Award, you feel great. In such a circle, there are actually some taboos. You can commit it, otherwise you will die miserably. After all, you are a young man and you don’t know the severity.”

Luo Xiumei reacted immediately, raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was a vicious look in her cold eyes: "How about I find a few reporters to add fuel to the fire, [Southern Sunday] Lao Bai is an acquaintance of mine, and he writes good articles. If he were to take action, it would definitely make Ye Ming uncomfortable at a time like this."

Fang Dongsheng waved his hand, with a confident look, and immediately stopped him and said: "No, we can't be the opposite of this. We have to let people sing praises. Doesn't it mean that he wants to invite the two best actors, Chen Daomin and Li Xuejian, to star? Peng, we will He praised him so highly, and then let him know his tragic end in front of everyone after the filming of the TV series was completed. I think, in that case, this matter will become more interesting. By then, I You want to see Ye Ming’s expression on the verge of crying but no tears.”

After all, Luo Xiumei was not dazzled by hatred. When she heard Fang Dongsheng's words, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said: "Peng Sha, what you mean by saying this is Pong Sha, right?

I understand, for people like Ye Ming, I should teach him this way. Mr. Fang can rest assured. I want him to know how powerful our Dongsheng Film and Television is. "

Fang Dongsheng said at this time: "These are not enough. I heard that Ye Ming is short of a lot of money. You can find an independent producer and come to him. Maybe sometimes, you can give Ye Ming a surprise. This time, I want to make Ye Ming irreversible." Fang Dongsheng and Luo Xiumei could not disappear with all their strength towards Ye Ming. A good show began under the close attention of Fang Dongsheng and Luo Xiumei.

For a time, the entire entertainment industry was shocked. Two veteran movie stars, Chen Daomin and Li Xuejian, came out to co-star in an anti-war drama. This was shocking news. At Brilliant Film and Television, Ye Ming was also worried because he had no money for his TV series. Now Ye Ming made a promise. Anyone from the company who can attract investment will be rewarded with 2% of the investment. Even though this two percent may seem like a small amount, in a situation like this, in fact, this matter is actually very good news.

Sure enough, the news immediately had an exciting effect. No matter what kind of praise it is from the boss, it is actually more exciting than something practical. At this time, Wang Di, who had always said he was a bit quiet in the company, walked in arrogantly this time, as if he said he didn't take everyone seriously.

At this time, Ma Su, who had a good relationship with her, was still in the mood to talk to her: "Didi, what are you doing? You seem to have changed into a different person. Did you win the lottery?"

At this time, Wang Di smiled like a little fox and said: "I won the lottery, almost, Ma Su, old classmate, if my sister gets rich, I will never forget you. Remember, sister, I will cover you up if I become famous." Yours, why are we classmates?" When he said this, Wang Di's eyes were high, as if he had become a movie queen. At this time, Ma Su couldn't believe Wang Di's changes. Was this still the Wang Di he knew?

However, at this time, Wang Di smiled and patted the dumbfounded Ma Su and said: "How about it, you don't believe it, don't you worry, I will let you know what it means to be silent and become a blockbuster. If you are in Bright Sword, Whatever role you want to play, I will find a way to arrange it for you." After saying that, Wang Di drifted away. Ma Su stood there blankly, a little afraid to recognize his classmates, as if he was a different person. It was as if Wang Di decided the roles of the entire crew alone.

In fact, if Wang Di dared to do this, it would naturally mean that she had a reason to do this. Because Wang Dila came to invest, investor Liu Dayin was brought here by Wang Di. At this time, Wang Di finally felt proud and proud. She came up to him with a smile and said, "Boss, I just met an acquaintance. Maybe he can help you get out of your current predicament." Ye Ming said with some surprise: "Someone you know, please come and see me. look."

At this time, Wang Dicai called a middle-aged, slightly fat man over like a treasure and said: "This one is a friend of mine, Liu Dayin, an independent producer."

Liu Dayin, Ye Ming was really impressed by such a person.

A person like this is not the kind of liar who dares to start a company even if he has tens of thousands of dollars in hand, but a real independent producer with strength, a person who is quite famous in the circle. . At this time, Ye Ming stood up very happily. With Liu Dayin's investment, things would be much easier to handle.

After reading the script, Liu Dayin said that if he wanted to invest, he would bear certain risks, so he could invest. However, there was a condition. If the TV series was banned from being screened, Huihuang Film and Television would double compensation for his losses.

Ye Ming was completely reassured about this. Therefore, the two parties immediately signed a contract after agreeing on some details. Liu Dayin invested six million, accounting for half of the entire investment. The remaining half was naturally paid by Ye Ming himself. After the accounts were settled, Ye Ming confidently held a meeting. Not only did he reward Wang Di with 120,000 yuan, which was given in accordance with the regulations, but he also gave Wang Di a relatively important role, although she was not a heroine. , but it is also a quite important supporting role.

Tang Wei, Ma Su, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo also have roles that they are satisfied with.

At this time, Wang Di actually wanted to play the leading female role, but at this time, Ye Ming just said one sentence, can you film under the pressure of Chen Daomin? This question made Wang Di fall into deep thought for a while. Acting under the pressure of actor Chen Daomin is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

Therefore, Wang Di thought about his acting skills and finally decided to give up. Facing the role opposite Chen Daomin, Wang Di knew that he was not a match yet.

At this time, Ye Mingke was also very busy, and the entire company was busy because of this drama. With money, this is finally no longer a fantasy, but we will actually start filming. However, the actual formation of such a large crew cannot be completed in a day or two. It takes a certain amount of time. Just talking about the preliminary preparation work, at a time like this, it takes one or two days. month's time.

In the past, as an actor, Ye Ming naturally had others to do the preliminary work, so he could ignore it. However, this time he set up the crew himself, so these tasks naturally had to be implemented one by one. Fortunately, Huihuang Film and Television has already shot a movie, so it still has some experience in this aspect and won't be in a hurry.

Sister Fang Fang came to the door and said: "Everyone in the company is busy with such a thing. You should give yourself a clear shooting time. I am not as easy to fool as others. So far, except for the supporting actors in our company, Basically, no one has decided except the people there. How long do you want to delay it? Don’t you want to film this TV series in a short time?"

The smart Sister Fang seemed to be able to tell what kind of wishful thinking Ye Ming was thinking as a boss in such a situation.

Ye Ming also said without any concealment: "That's right. In fact, I am planning to set up this crew because I don't want the people in the company to be idle. However, I really don't plan to start it in the short term because I have to wait for Director Li Eu to shoot. After completing "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the official filming of "Sword of Sword" began, and more importantly, the two best actors, Chen Daomin and Li Xuejian, have no schedules now and will only be free in the second half of the year. Therefore, in fact, "Sword of Sword" is also That means it’s the best time to start shooting.”

Without hiding it, Ye Ming directly told his plan at this time, which left Sister Fang Fang speechless for a while. Everyone in the company was counting on Ye Ming, but it seemed that no one thought that Ye Ming said it. The filming will begin in the second half of the year. (To be continued)
