Chapter 512 Disturbances in the Industry
"There are many roles in this drama, so we must cast a casting. There were just a few artists who wanted to change jobs to our studio before, so we might as well use this to expand our business scale."
In the office, a group of executives are studying the shooting of "Charlotte Troubles". Yu Xiao also agreed with He Xiao's idea, and he believed that this could be used as an opportunity to expand the scale of the studio.
Currently, He Wanrong Studio is good in all aspects and has good development momentum, but there are too few artists signed under it. If the studio really develops and has more opportunities in the industry, artists are an indispensable cornerstone.
He Xiao thought for a moment and said that this is true. The more artists he has, the better the development of the entire company will be. What's more, when he wants to build his own film and television empire in the future, he will definitely need a strong cast of actors. All of these must be prepared in advance and prepare in advance.
"Brother Yu, can you still contact artists who were interested in coming to our studio to develop before?" He smiled and asked, looking at Yu Xiao, who was drinking tea with a thermos cup in his seat.
"Yes, the information is in the email address, I haven't deleted it yet." Yu Xiao blew the heat from the mouth of the cup and said with a smile: "I'll sort it out and send it to you later. There are a few actors in it that are not bad."
Because He Xiao is a singer, most of the artists who want to change jobs to him for development are singers, but this does not mean that there are no actors. Although they only occupy a small part of them, there are as many as 20.
"I also know a few reliable actors, and you can contact their company to cooperate." Zhang Ya also made a statement at this time. As a famous diva in the entertainment industry, she has known many actors over the years. I believe that the diva will definitely give her face when she speaks.
He Xiao immediately made the decision and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you all. In addition, I also release news in the industry, so I can't always wait for others to come to you passively."
In this era of rapid development of entertainment industry, it is obviously not wise to play Jiang Taigong's fishing volunteers. Sometimes, only by actively throwing olive branches will you gain. He Xiao plans to release an announcement on the recruitment of actors, conduct auditions interviews, and select actors who match their image to participate in the movie.
Things were determined so. The studio started a busy day after the morning meeting, and He Xiao also sent a notice to the outside world on social media to cast the studio's first live-action movie.
This will undoubtedly cause a sensation in the outside world, from ordinary netizens who love to gossip to professionals in the circle, they are all talking about it.
On Weibo, in the studio’s first dynamic comment.
Many netizens who are interested in acting come to leave messages, including some 18th-tier actors who are not recognized by talent.
"Wow, He Xiao Studio's first live-action movie!"
"What's the name of the movie? When will it be released?"
"Oh my God, I just wanted to watch the movie before I could shoot it!"
"He Xiao's hardcore fan is here. I especially want to join your team. How do I contact you?"
"Sister, take me one. I can sweep the floor, cook, hug my thighs, and call the big guy 666. I'm willing to let me go to the studio as a front desk! [Dog Head]"
"Sisters, I'm humble!"
"Does Teacher He read the comments? I am a supporting actor with many years of experience in Hengdian. I think I am more suitable for the rogue character in your announcement. I have sent you a private message. Can you please read it?"
“…”
After the notice of recruiting actors was sent out, there were a lot of comments, and the message boxes on Weibo were filled with just watching the fun, some were idle and troubled, and some were not discovered, eager to get the opportunity to perform.
Netizens will pay attention to the dynamics of celebrities themselves, but few people will understand the work notices of the studio, so the storm caused on Weibo is only a small scope. However, in the industry, it has really caused a considerable storm.
Because in today's industry, He Wanrong Studio is a golden signboard!
Starting from the screen debut animated movie "White Snake", this studio wanted to cheat, setting one box office myth after another. This year's Spring Festival "Nezha" broke many records in the Chinese film industry and directly reached the third place in the history list.
Such impressive achievements have to be paid attention to.
Fortunately, because it is achieved through animation, there are very few directors and actors who are jealous of him. After all, the success of the movie is only because the special effects and plot are good enough, and it is not a real-life movie. Who would be serious about a group of virtual characters?
If the live-action movie He Xiao won the box office like "Nezha", it would trigger a real explosion and make many directors in the industry go crazy.
And now, this thing seems to be happening!
The first live-action movie in He Wanrong Studio is about to begin, and it is in the hot casting. As soon as the news spread, it can be said that it caused a thousand waves; there are all things that say.
At a party in a circle.
A group of second- and third-tier directors are having a dinner together.
"I'll bring you a drink. Today, everyone can sit together and drink because Director Xu met me. Director Xu helped me back then. I remember this kindness for the rest of my life, and I've done it!"
"That's right, Director Xu has to be considered a top famous director in our China country, right? Why don't you tell me about how to develop in the industry now? What type of film do you make to go further?"
"Haha, everyone has praised it, but I really have a unique insight into filming. First of all, because of our national conditions, this future industry trend will definitely not become the same as that of foreign science fiction blockbusters. I have to say that for a long time in the future, the market will belong to the world of comedy films, and there will definitely be a way out for making comedy!"
"Director Xu said it well! I also agree with Director Xu's statement. Comedy will definitely never be outdated."
"Director Xu, I'll be enlightened when I hear your words. Come on, I'll give you a cup."
A group of people below said holding their stinky feet.
Although Director Xu is only a second-tier director, he is top-notch in this small circle and will naturally attract a group of people to follow him.
After three rounds of drinking, someone took his cell phone to read the news, and suddenly said in surprise: "Huh? Is He Wanrong's studio going to make a live-action movie? Or a comedy?"
"What? Why Xiao wants to do comedy? Have a good eye! Who did the director invite?" Director Xu asked after hearing this, his drunken face with a hint of spirit.
"Well... the director is himself, and the screenwriter is himself." The man couldn't help but stare at the message sent by his friend on his phone.
When everyone at the table heard the news, they were silent for a while, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
"He is a layman, so he can't act, but he still has to make movies? Does he think anyone can make movies?"
"Oh, another young man who doesn't know the height of the world."
"No, no, no, no, no, our director circle is ruined by such a mess. It's fine if those internet celebrities take a camera and call themselves directors with no worries. He is a big name with tens of millions of fans, so why can he get involved!"
When He Xiao was a singer, he was always a thing that he should worry about in the music industry, and he had nothing to do with the entertainment industry. However, as soon as he came to be a director, everything was different. The many miserable directors here seemed to suddenly find ways to enhance their superiority, and they worked hard to find a sense of existence in this popular star with tens of millions of fans.
However, their ideas are understandable. After all, it’s okay to be a singer like a mountain. It’s okay if He Xiao is a singer who goes to be an actor. Now he is still a fantastic director. This is really nonsense. If everyone can be a director, then what should he do in the major of the director department in college?
A director is not that easy to be a good person. Just like writing, it is important to be able to tell stories, but it is even more important to be able to tell stories with lenses.
At this party, there were only half of the second and third-tier directors in China. Some of them had been in this circle for decades, but they were still not too high or too low. They always wandered around in the middle, and contributed countless bad movies to China every year, but they were arrogant and proud, but in fact they were keen on the colorful glitz in this industry.
Even Director Xu, who was only at a little skill, couldn't help but shake his head after hearing He Xiao's involvement in the real-life film field and sighed: "The direction of filming comedy is the right direction, but filming it yourself is wrong. I'm afraid that investment will be wasted!"
There are many people in the industry who have this idea, even if everyone doesn’t say it, they are not optimistic about it in their hearts and just listen to it as a fun thing.
The same is true for Yaoguang Entertainment, who doesn’t know what to face soon.
When senior leaders in Yaoguang Group, who were inclined toward the faction of Martin, the clown, almost burst into laughter when they heard the news.
Since he became a gang with He Xiao, he has been destined to have a hostile stance between the two. In recent years, Yaoguang has not had a good time in film and television. For example, they invested heavily in the animation movie last time and tried hard to introduce IP from Japan. After the release, he was forced to fight "White Snake", which He Xiao invested less than 100 million yuan, and he lost his shorts and failed to get his box office to his grandma's house.
This time, they decided to make a lot of money by filming comedy. Unexpectedly, He Xiao also announced that he would enter this field. After Yaoguang was stunned at the beginning, all he had left was ridicule.
Because He Xiao is the director himself and the screenwriter himself!
Please, you are just a singer. If you are so full of force, you will be given the identity of an actor. Do you really think you can do anything?
Even if the environment in the Chinese film industry is not good, it is still a benchmark for the entertainment level of a big country. It is not something that anyone can make money by thinking about it. As the saying goes, the big waves are sank the sand. Even if they are recognized as the industry giant, they have invested a lot of money before making money, and invited famous directors and a bunch of top-tier actors to work together.
He Xiao is single and has not even a reliable actor. How to shoot it?
Yaoguang didn't take this competitor's behavior seriously at all.
...
at the same time.
In He Wanrong's studio.
He Xiao was checking the artist information forwarded by Yu Xiao in his email one by one. As for the outside world's evaluation of his behavior, he did not care too much about it.
Because he had already anticipated what the industry would think, it was inevitable that this was human nature.
Just like suddenly hearing Xu Song, Jay Chou and others who are positioned as original singers in black mobile phones, suddenly announced to the world that he would be a film director and enter the film industry. I believe that apart from the hardcore fans, few people in the industry will really be optimistic and will only feel absurd in their hearts.
But it doesn't matter. The road to success is always lonely. I lower my head, look forward to the day, and walk forward bravely. The light of dawn will eventually pass through the darkness.
He Xiao now decided to be a director and film the first movie of his life. Maybe he was a little anxious, but he couldn't control his impulse, so he just wanted to give it a try.
Besides, the film "Charlotte's Troubles" does not have very advanced skills in shooting techniques and camera operation. He has watched the original film more than once on a black phone, and just copy it.
Of course, it is impossible to copy them all by saying that they are copying them all. They can use their own world as the standard. Many lines in it need to be modified and the background must be set according to their own era.
For example, when Charlotte just traveled through time, the sentence "Pu Shu is not popular, I am going to be popular" cannot be used. There is no Pu Shu in his world, he is a character in a black mobile phone.
In short, the black phone has opened the door of convenience for him. If this cannot be successful, it must be that he is not serious enough and hard enough.
Sitting straight and upright at the desk, He Xiao slid his mouse repeatedly in his hand, checking the information of artists.
The first email was sent by a male actor named Ye Xia. He is 25 years old this year. He is currently a contracted actor of Tianxing Film and Television Production Company. The contract has expired in three months. I hope that after the expiration, I can come to He Wanrong Studio to develop.
This actor should not be very famous because He Xiao had never heard of it. He looked at the photos of his personal image column and his past experiences and found that he was an actor with the potential of a young and handsome guy, a bit handsome. He debuted three years ago and filmed two works in total, both of which were the third male leads in the online drama, and it was tepid.
A young actor with no special features, He Xiao put it aside after briefly looking through it, leaving it aside for a pending decision.
It’s not that he looks down on the young actor, but that this person’s resume is really not very good. People are visual animals, not to mention their inner thoughts, and no one wants to understand in depth if they are unwilling to work hard on the outside.
This resume is mediocre and does not highlight its own characteristics. It is really difficult to impress He Xiao.
Open the second email, this is an actress's profile. She is currently in a state of not signing a contract company. She is 28 years old and has good looks. She has starred in several third-rate idol dramas and plays the second female lead. She is considered a well-known actor.
However, He Xiao still did not pay special attention to her, because the self-introduction filled in the information revealed a sense of superiority and the feeling of self-centering is very strong, which made He Xiao not very fond of it.
The emails were just flipped over one by one. Although few people could satisfy He Xiao, after a long time, he only left three phone numbers. These three were only suitable for supporting roles. He did not find any of them who could play the leading role.
The drama "Charlotte's Troubles" is actually very interesting in naming. There are six main actors, namely Dachun, Charlotte, Qiuya, and Dongmei, as well as Zhang Yang and Yuan Hua (Smooth), who symbolize their personality, all run through the entire drama.
And the only thing that can be confirmed at the moment is He Xiao playing Charlotte, and there are no signs of other characters.
A drama is filled from nothing to something, from bone to flesh, step by step, which is obviously a long process. He Xiao can only read it patiently and read it one by one.
Chapter completed!
