After talking about the cooperation in the TV series, Jiang Yan asked by the way which places can receive charitable funding, especially his hometown of Wu City.
He thought that since he wanted to run a base, he had to gain a good reputation.
Donating money to charity is the easiest way.
Don’t say it’s too purposeful. Some things have to be done on the table.
And although Zhejiang Province is rich, it was not that rich in 1998. There are still many places in need of assistance, and donated money can always make a difference.
After hearing this, Lao Xu and the leaders of Lantai understood.
So that day, Lao Xu arranged for Jiang Yan to meet and chat with a city leader.
Jiang Yan finally donated 2 million in scholarships to encourage poor students and top students in the city, and promised to provide them every year in the future, and even establish a fund.
And the city also attaches great importance to its own stars.
The next day, the city newspaper came out:
"Helping poor students, popular singer Jiang Yan gives back to his hometown"
For a time, Jiang Yan became famous in his hometown and became the pride of Wu City that everyone praised.
At the same time, the provincial newspaper also came out:
"Popular Star Jiang Yan Makes His TV Drama Debut"
There are also huge advertisements on the side page.
"Jiang Yan will be the spokesperson for Hengdian Film and Television City..."
Fans are happy, tourists are excited, and there are more "horizontal drifts".
Of course, the artists are also ready to take action.
In this wave, the TV station, Jiang Yan, and the old Xu family all benefited.
.......
"Shaobao" has been finalized, and the next step is casting and crew preparation.
Zhang Shuang is currently still working on the third-level film in Xiangjiang, so this important task naturally falls on newcomer Liu He.
However, considering that Liu He had little experience in all aspects, Jiang Yan called Fan Datian over to help.
Fan Datian attached great importance to it and came the next day, bringing with him a small team of his.
So preparations were carried out in an orderly manner, and Jiang Yan first solved the problem of the heroine.
In "Shaobao 1", the heroine Ling Chuchu is described as having a lively and cheerful personality, sometimes unruly and willful, even a little jealous, but sometimes she is like an amiable and reliable big sister.
Is Zhou Zhiruo having fun?
So in the evening, Jiang Yan put the script in front of Zhou Zhiruo and asked:
"Can it be done?"
Zhou Zhiruo looked bitter.
This role is indeed a big challenge for her.
Being jealous, she might be able to handle this characteristic of a big sister.
But being unruly and lively and cheerful would not be in line with her character, and it would probably be too much for her to act.
So she hesitated and said, "I'll give it a try."
Jiang Yan said with a smile: "If it were someone else, I would be willing to agree immediately, but you are not willing to get up."
"I've never played such a role before." Zhou Zhiruo cupped Jiang Yan's chest and said coquettishly, "I know how much I weigh, and I'm still in school, so I have to go back to school then.
If you return, you may not be able to maintain your condition."
"I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me." Jiang Yan pinched Zhou Zhiruo's chin and said, "I didn't expect you to be a college student."
"How is it? Do you feel ashamed?" Zhou Zhiruo said proudly.
"Well, it's true that I'm the one who's got the upper hand, so goodbye!" Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"I'll bite you..."
The two soon started fighting on the bed.
After a storm, the two hugged each other and brought up the topic at the beginning.
Jiang Yan said: "You should prepare in the past few days, and then shoot for three days. If it doesn't work, just give up. You can't mess up your TV series debut."
Jiang Yan made a decision.
Zhou Zhiruo should play a role like Zhou Zhiruo or Yagyu Piaoxu. It is really difficult for her to play a lively role, so if she really can't play it, then change the person, otherwise it will be a bad sign.
"Forget it, I feel like I will fail in the performance." Zhou Zhiruo finally gave up.
Although she studied acting in Xiangjiang for a period of time, she is not a professional after all. She is not sure about this kind of role that does not match her personality. The most important thing is that she doesn't like it very much.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Jiang Yan comforted her and said, "Okay, then you can play in my music video first, and then you can put it to good use when the movie script comes out. After all, movies are superior to TV series."
"It's up to you." Zhou Zhiruo drilled into Jiang Yan's chest, and then asked, "So your song has been written?"
"It's written."
"Can you sing it to me?"
"no."
"What about this?" Zhou Zhiruo slid down.
"not enough."
"Then...what about..." Zhou Zhiruo lowered her head.
"Hiss~"
Half an hour later, Jiang Yan pinched Zhou Zhiruo's chin and said:
"My skill is not enough, keep up the good work!"
Zhou Zhiruo bit it again.
...
The heroine Zhou Zhiruo felt that she couldn't handle it, so she had no choice but to change it to the original version.
So Jiang Yan called Ren Quan the next day and asked him to prepare to start work. At the same time, he asked: "Do you have any suitable candidates?"
When Ren Quan heard this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes..."
The next day, Ren Quan and Li Binbin came together.
"Hello Mr. Jiang, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity." Li Binbin came up and expressed his gratitude.
"Quan'er and I are buddies, so don't talk to outsiders like this. From now on, we will cooperate well and perform the show well." Jiang Yan released a set of scene words.
"I will definitely work hard." Li Binbin issued a military order.
Then he went to sign the contract under the leadership of the legal affairs department.
Li Binbin was born in 1973 and is now 26 years old.
Jiang Yan has no idea about Li Binbin. He is not interested in women with men.
Let her act more because I just want to complete the TV series.
If Zhou Zhiruo had not been successful, this opportunity would not have been given to others.
As for signing her?
Forget it, Jiang Yan doesn't take money from artists, and he doesn't have the energy.
Unless Wu Yong shakes his body and says I can do it again!
Otherwise, unless he is particularly interested in artists, Jiang Yan will not have any thoughts at the moment.
After settling the heroine, Jiang Yan officially started calling people.
The first is Wang Jinhua. The Eight Wise Kings have agreed that it is Chen Daomin, so he must not be allowed to escape.
In addition, Wang Jinhua still had good connections with some other actors, so I gave her a few spots.
As for other miscellaneous characters, important characters, try to follow the original time and space. Of course, the rest cannot be arbitrary.
So after Fan Datian, Wang Jinhua and representatives from Lantai came over, Jiang Yan would ask them to help the contacts according to the list and listen to their opinions along the way.
There is no way, Jiang Yan knows too few people in the mainland TV drama industry, so if you want to make a good drama, you have to work together.
Soon, several people arrived, and Jiang Yan didn't waste any time. He shot the script and started casting.
When Wang Jinhua saw this, she immediately praised Jiang Yan's behavior.
This person is really great to work with and even let her participate in the casting.
But Jiang Yan didn't think so much. What he wanted was Wang Jinhua's connections.
For example, Wang Jinhua can contact Zheng Peipei, Shi Xiaolong and Taishi Pang directly, while Fan Datian has to make many turns, let alone Jiang Yan.
So several main roles were quickly finalized.
The male protagonist Jiang Yan, the second male lead Ren Quan, Zhan Zhao, and Taishi Pang are all from the original cast.
The only ones left undecided are Shen Liang and the second female lead, Pang Feiyan.
Shen Liang was originally played by He Zhonghua, but now that Jiang Yan is in charge, he naturally leaves the opportunity to his own people.
So I called Wu Jing, but it turned out that Wu Jing was unavailable and he was probably in the Gobi Desert when filming started.
Jiang Yan covered his face, it was his own fault. Wu Jing chose a soldier in "Born Out of the Sky", so he had no choice but to change.
So he called Jiao Meinan again, and Jiao Meinan directly agreed, what a good buddy!
The only one left is the second female lead.
Regarding the second female lead, Pang Feiyan, Jiang Yan directly asked the representative of Landai to make the choice.
Of course, you still have to audition.
Auditions for the remaining roles will be held in Hengdian.
Leave this to Wu Yong. The principle is fairness, openness and justice.
At the same time, it also lets people in Hengdian know that this is how Xingchenhai Company does things, and it is not just about squatting at the door.
...
The audition and casting of "Shaobao" caused a lot of noise in Hengdian.
This time it is somewhat subversive.
Because many supporting roles were auditioned openly, many grassroots people felt that an opportunity had come.
But those who also smelled the smell of blood were those students who graduated from professional art schools.
So the fantasies of grassroots buddies may have to be shattered.
Of course, there are also a group of people who are eyeing the business opportunity of acting training, and the grassroots have hope again...
Therefore, the market is always full of energy, and there are always people who can get ahead.
"Sea of Stars" now has a great influence in Hengdian, and is considered the largest film and television company in the entire Hengdian Film and Television City.
This has also attracted the attention of many employers.
Jiang Yan also has arrangements for this. If you want to cooperate, just go to the front desk and leave your phone number to wait for an appointment.
After all, Jiang Yan is red, so there is no time to receive them one by one.
However, this also caused anger among many employers.
Aren't you just an actor? You are so awesome. Be careful if you go out and get beaten...
What familiar words.
When Jiang Yan heard this, he asked the security guards to control him on the spot, and then called the police.
Then things resolve quickly.
So everyone knows that the "Sea of Stars" is not something to be trifled with.
Of course, there are also those who use secret tricks, but whose territory is Hengdian?
So soon, the troublemakers were kneeling at the entrance of the park
Jiang Yan glanced at the park from a distance, and then advised Uncle Xu and Boss Xiang: "Forget it, killing is too serious."
Xu family son: "???"
Boss Xiang: “???!”
Jiang Yan: "Hahaha, just kidding, come on, continue drinking tea."
...
The audition went smoothly.
The old Xu family also felt that it was of great reference value to come in such a formal way.
So I became more concerned about the Screen Actors Guild.
However, Jiang Yan has no intention to take care of it now. He is only responsible for giving opinions. What to do is other people's business.
He has more important things to do because Gu Hanqing is back.
Gu Hanqing, the company's first screenwriter, was thrown overseas by Jiang Yan after he completed several scripts for Jiang Yan.
His task is to collect copyrights according to the list.
Now that I'm back, it looks like there's good news.
Sure enough, Gu Hanqing reported: "I won "The Immortal Sword"..."
Gu Hanqing reported them one by one.
The company has previously acquired the copyrights of "Wind and Cloud" and "Backstory", also known as "Lan Yu".
To be honest, it is not difficult to get these copyrights, just spend money, after all, people are looking forward to adapting them.
But "Sword" is different. From the beginning, they never thought about changing it into a TV series.
Fortunately, Gu Hanqing visited the thatched cottage three times and took down the "Immortal Sword".
Others don't understand the meaning of this operation, but Jiang Yan understands it, so based on this, today it will become clear!
And Gu Hanqing's achievements are more than that.
"The Story of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" has also been completed, but this is just an advance intention. Mr. Jin's copyright is somewhat special, and it is impossible to hold it for a long time, so I can only take a seat first.
There is also "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but the copyright is a bit difficult, and there is a big fish occupying the space at the same time, so the competition may be a bit fierce.
In addition, Gu Hanqing also showed many copyrights, domestic and foreign, those that have been obtained, and those that are in the process of being contacted.
Here are the three that Jiang Yan is most interested in right now.
One of them is related to Hollywood, that is "The Man from Earth".
The original copyright author of this script had just passed away, and his son wanted to film it in accordance with his will, so he wrote to major companies. Warner Bros. received letters in this regard, but they didn't pay attention.
Warner doesn't care, but Jiang Yan does.
This is a masterpiece, with a production cost of 200,000 US dollars, hundreds of millions of profits, and high ratings.
Of course, it didn't go to theaters, it just went to the video market, but that's enough. Winning it means winning a super record, which is a great halo in Hollywood.
Jiang Yan had learned about this before when he was collecting technology wool, so he asked Gu Hanqing to pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, he actually came into contact with it.
"They want to find a big director to shoot, and they can't change the script. This is a bit difficult, so it's probably not easy to win." Gu Hanqing hesitated.
"Promise him!" Jiang Yan said directly, "Even if it's a lie, I have to lie to him!"
"Understood." Gu Hanqing nodded.
For the other two copyrights, one is just waiting for the contract to be signed, and the other is still hesitating.
Those who are waiting to sign the contract are from the peninsula, while those who are hesitant are those from the island countries.
Jiang Yan wanted to make a movie about the island country himself, and he acted most of it himself. After all, it was considered a memory of his youth.
As for Peninsula, it is an online novel. Jiang Yan won it, and most of it was written in bad taste.
He just wasn't happy with Peninsula, so when he had time, he would use this movie to stab the Peninsula market.
So Jiang Yan said directly: "Sign it, get it early and don't worry. As for the island country, you have to think of a way! I will add benefits to you, go ahead, 007!"
The salary was increased, the benefits were increased, and after giving Gu Hanqing a blessing, Gu Hanqing left happily.
Jiang Yan's eyes were shining brightly.
His thoughts have now crossed the ocean and are looking towards Hollywood.
Only by achieving success in Hollywood can one successfully bomb the peninsula and island countries.
So there are a lot of things to do next.
With this thought in mind, the phone rang.
The answer was Warner Bros. Zhou Jianhui.
Needless to say, this definitely prompted the album.
Four thousand words are given, and there will be no updates at midnight in the future. I have to take care of my health. The update is still at the base of 6,000 words, but it will be updated at noon, afternoon and evening.
