Chapter 109 The hero of the movie (unintentional leader)
After Wang Shang drove to the campus with several senior masters, they quickly arranged an audition for actors in a large auditorium.
There are a total of 6 student roles. Wang Shang is planning to recruit 5 other roles in this school besides the protagonist, 3 men and 2 women. "Death Is Coming" is a movie with a lot of important characters, and there are ten more.
Dozens of student supporting roles have the opportunity to appear.
So after hearing the news, all the acting students were excited and rushed over to queue up for interviews. In their opinion, the movie is already so famous before it even starts filming, and it will definitely be even more amazing when it is released in the future.
The students who came to audition lined up in a long queue of 200 meters, and it was estimated that they would have to wait until dark before all the auditions were completed. However, these students who lined up did not feel tired, but were very excited.
They were not only interviewed by Wang Shang, but also by several other masters and employees from Tianwang Studio who came to study.
Because everyone discusses the script together, the senior chefs know each role very well, so it is not difficult to choose actors. Basically, you can tell whether they are suitable by performing one or two acts.
Because there are a large number of candidate actors to choose from at will, the casting process is relatively strict, which also results in the casting process being relatively slow.
While Wang Shang and the others were selecting actors, Principal An Pingshi's administrative secretary came to Wang Shang and asked him if he wanted to graduate.
"Graduate? It's better to say goodbye. I still want to stay in school for a few more years..." Wang Shang heard Xingzhe's secretary asking him if he wanted to graduate and quickly refused. Wang Shang still wanted to delay for two more years. When he made money, he would
Start implementing the talent training bundling plan. If you graduate now, your relationship with the school will become weaker in the future.
"Okay!!" The administrative secretary was very happy after hearing this and felt that Wang Shang had not forgotten his roots.
"I wonder if Director Wang is interested in giving a lecture at the school?"
"Lecture?" Wang Shang thought for a while but still refused. What can we talk about in the lecture now?
If I talk about the current situation of Chinese films, the topic is too big and does not suit my current status as a young director. If I talk about something relatively simple, it is better not to talk about it.
At dinner time in the evening, Wang Shang specially asked Gao Dazhuang, Cai Jiangan and Jia Bao, who were in the same dormitory, to have a meal together.
During the meal, Wang Shang expressed his thoughts to the three of them: "I wonder if you are interested in joining Tianwang Studio? During this period of study, you will study with various production crews. After graduation, you will have more experience.
Once you have it, I will give you the opportunity to make a movie alone..."
"Really? We can??" The three of them were overjoyed.
"Of course what I said is true, but you have to work hard. It's not an easy job to juggle study and work."
The three of them naturally nodded vigorously, and then went to Tianwang Studio with excitement the next day to sign the intern employment agreement.
Now that funds are sufficient, Wang Shang began to ask Tianwang Studio to prepare for the filming of "Love Apartment 3" and no longer gave the production rights to Datang International.
Wang Shang no longer needs to write the script himself, but directly lets Shen Lingfeng, Chen Hao, the original cast and crew members discuss it with each other. They already have experience in the first two seasons, and I believe they can do a good job.
On May 14, after five days of screening, the five leading actors were finally selected. And the role of the female teacher was also chosen from a teacher in the school.
In addition, more than twenty supporting characters were selected, who only appeared a few times, but it was enough to make the students happy.
As for the protagonist, Wang Shang is planning to choose a well-known star in order to cope with Zhao Baogang's "Death Comes", but he hasn't decided who to choose yet.
You need to be a big star. You need to be young, and preferably very handsome and have an idol temperament...
Wang Shang checked a lot of celebrity information, but none of them were to his liking. The protagonist's matter was left undecided. However, the crew was not finished yet, so they still had some time left for Wang Shang to choose the protagonist.
…
Just when Wang Shang was worrying about the protagonist of "Death is Coming", those investors finally started to come to his door.
"Director Wang, our Futian Group comes with great sincerity. We invest 30 million and get 20% of the movie's income! How about it?"
Wang Shang looked at the fat leader in front of him with a smile: "I want 20% for 30 million. It's too high. 10% is not enough."
"Director Wang, you can't do this. We are very sincere..." They are indeed very sincere this time. The reputation of "Death is Coming" is already very famous, and countless people are looking forward to the interview for it, and
Wang Shang was quite famous during this period, so the boss of Futian Group was very sincere when he considered investing in this film.
"Haha, this is still a little far from my goal, so I'm sorry."
In the end, no matter what he said, Wang Shang always disagreed.
The man had to regret and said: "Director Wang, business cannot be done without mercy. We will cooperate with you next time if we have a chance."
Wang Shang thought for a while and finally said: "If I didn't think twice, you should go to Hanhai Film and Television Group to invest in "Death Comes" later, but I still advise you to be cautious when investing..."
Seeing how sincere the other party was, Wang Shang did not hesitate to remind him to prevent him from being deceived.
After he left, Bi Han, who had been silent next to him, couldn't bear it anymore and asked Wang Shang: "Director Wang, was his investment just now not bad? Why don't you agree?"
Wang Shang patiently said to him: "I can make money myself. Don't I have any money? Do I need their investment?"
Bi Han thought for a while, and it was true that Wang Shang did have the funds now, but he didn't understand even more: "Then why are you still talking about investment?"
Wang Shang stretched his body to relieve himself from the busy and tired days: "Why are you looking for investment? My idea is that making money alone is always a small matter, but cooperation, mutual interests are entangled, and everyone can make more money together."
.Do you know the origin of this Futian Group?"
Bi Han naturally conducted a thorough investigation into it: "I know that it is a Shanxi mining group company. It is very rich."
"It is precisely because of its background that I don't want to cooperate with them. What is the nature of their capital in the film industry? It is the kind of money-making and then-leaving nature, a speculative nature. Their arrival is of great significance to the film industry.
The film and television industry will not be able to help much. The people I want to cooperate with are those investors who are truly good for the film and television industry. What I want is for everyone to support each other and grow together."
Bi Han understands...
"It seems that my previous layout was really too small..."
In the next few days, Wang Shang received a lot of investors from all walks of life. After screening, Wang Shang finally selected three investors who were conducive to the promotion and distribution of the film. A total of 30 million was raised, and 15 million were divided among them.
% profit sharing.
For such harsh conditions, the three investors actually agreed. I don't know if they believed too much in their own eyes or in Wang Shang.
I paid 15% of the profit and received a high investment of 30 million yuan. It is also a good harvest.
Originally, Wang Shang wanted to stop there, but the investor who came later made Wang Shang ready to take action.
"PO Chaoting Company? It sounds very familiar..."
Wang Shang looked at the company's profile and thought of Nicholas Tse in his previous life...
"You guys wait two minutes, I'll go to the bathroom first..." Wang Shang hurriedly left the conference room, found a computer outside, and started searching.
I quickly found part of the information: Xie Tingfeng. Due to the "top package case" and the successive negative news, his image and development have been adversely affected. Currently, Xie Tingfeng has temporarily withdrawn from the entertainment industry and his whereabouts are unknown.
Wang Shang looked at the photo and found that he was indeed the handsome man who was popular among thousands of teenagers in the past time and space.
"I didn't expect that apart from Niu Dehua, Cheng Long and the others, Xie Tingfeng would not be harmed by the butterfly effect..."
"He should be the leading actor!!"
Wang Shang clapped his hands and was very happy.
Wang Shang returned to the conference room and asked directly: "Do you have the phone number of your general manager? I will talk to them directly!"
There were three people coming. The leader of them was a Hong Konger whose Mandarin was not very standard. Hearing Wang Shang's words, he was stunned for a moment: "Our general manager?"
…
Two days later, Wang Shang made an appointment with a well-dressed man at a private restaurant in Shanghai.
"Hello, my name is Wang Shang!"
"Hello, my name is Xie Tingfeng!"
Both of them are not very old, one is 26 years old and the other is 23 years old, but both of them have achieved great achievements in the entertainment industry.
However, Xie Tingfeng's situation is quite special. The negative public opinion has not officially subsided. At this time, Xie Tingfeng did not dare to be exposed to the public until he was ready. And the PO Chaoting Company was also hidden behind the scenes and did not dare to be made public.
Public.
Yesterday, Xie Tingfeng was almost frightened after receiving a call from the general manager of PO Chaoting Company. He really couldn't understand how Wang Shang knew that he was the boss of PO Chaoting Company. Except for some acquaintances, he had no
Tell anyone who knows, I didn’t expect that everyone in the Magic City would know about this.
It can be said that Xie Tingfeng is extremely curious and admires Wang Shang, a man who is only two years older than himself but has already achieved brilliant achievements.
When he heard that Wang Shang was looking for him, Xie Tingfeng rushed to the Magic City without much thought.
Wang Shang looked at Xie Tingfeng in front of him and sighed with emotion: "He is so handsome that it makes people jealous! I heard that he is a high-quality handsome man who is said to have 360 degrees of blind spots..."
Compared with him, I am like a small grass, only able to stay in the corner of suffering!! However, he still looks a little haggard now, and he probably hasn't come out of that shadow yet.
"You should know about my new movie "The God of Death". We still need a male lead, and I would like to invite you to star in it." Wang Shang got straight to the point.
"Invite me to be the leading actor? But in my current situation, do you dare to use it?"
"I don't dare to use it without anyone!" Wang Shang looked confident.
As for Xie Tingfeng, Wang Shang thought about his experience in the previous time and space last night. It can be said that it was very bumpy and pitiful.
But Wang Shang finally figured it out: "That was a matter of the previous time and space, what does it have to do with this time and space? Just be the protagonist of "Death is Coming", and he is quite a good person."
"Maybe with my support, you can have a more brilliant and dazzling life!!"
