Wei Yang's role was just an appetizer for today. After the agreement, Xia Cong called a few more key members of the company and began to preside over the main business of the day.
"Director Liu and I read the script, and there were no big problems. Director Zheng also nodded, so I announce..."
Xia Cong cleared his throat and said seriously: "Blue Whale's first film and television project "The Best of Us" has been officially launched."
Bang bang bang~
Everyone in the conference room applauded. Nearly two months after the company opened, it finally made a substantial breakthrough. Everyone was very excited.
Finally, Xia Cong announced that he would serve as the chief producer, Sun Wei would be the producer, and Liu Junjie would be the director.
Then we made preliminary preparations for the crew and distributed tasks to everyone. Some calculated costs, some contacted venues for location selection, some organized the behind-the-scenes team, some were responsible for logistics, and some started distribution...
It can be seen that there are still several brushes inside Blue Whale, with clear division of labor and high professionalism.
Wei Yang observed silently from his seat and felt relieved.
The original drama "The Best of Us" was of very high quality, and he was afraid that a shabby crew would make a good high-scoring drama into a mess, not to mention wasting Wei Yang's expectations and sorry for the script.
Whether it is working with the crew in the near future or making connections within the industry, Wei Yang intends to build a good relationship with Liu and Sun.
Sun Wei shook his head. He was not sensitive enough to the characters in the script. It was okay to invite a group of people to let him choose, but it would be difficult to pick and choose in his own mind.
Yesterday we had a drinking party, and today we had another day of meetings. We all became closer and more familiar with each other, and we could also joke with each other.
Sun Wei even jokingly said: "Xiao Wei, if your classmates come for an interview later, you can't open the back door."
Wei Yang nodded and wrote the words [Yu Huai]: "I have a wide range of choices for this role. He is handsome and has a youthful and sunny temperament. These two are the only ones."
"You didn't read the news. Hu Ge was in a car accident."
Liu Junjie touched his chin: "How about the Korean Jang Nara?"
Wei Yang's words were euphemistic, but the meaning was relatively clear. Liu Junjie gave another candidate.
Liu Junjie is a little older and it is difficult to call him uncle, so he still calls him Director Liu, but the relationship is obviously closer and warmer than before.
Most of these tasks had nothing to do with screenwriter Wei Yang, but when it came to the final casting work, Xia Cong turned to Wei Yang.
Liu Junjie was knocked down yesterday, and now his head still hurts, and he is a little timid about Wei Yang's drinking capacity.
"Xiao Wei, you are the screenwriter. You know the characteristics and general image of the character best, so we hope you can also join Director Liu's casting team."
"No problem, we will cooperate fully."
"Where is Zhang Shaohan?"
Liu Junjie wrote down the name and looked at Sun Wei: "Mr. Sun, do you have any ideas?"
Liu Junjie doesn't care. Most of the time, between the actors and the crew, the latter has to take the absolute initiative.
"Okay, let's be the big boss today."
"Where are the recommendations?"
"That's it. I'd like to receive the red envelope and give you half of it."
Although there are no real weapons for the four irons in life, they can be considered half irons if they have taken a bath together with their breasts exposed and had a massage while lying in the same room.
Wei Yang also understood that, aside from other things, today's news was spread to the top of the theater. From the freshman to the senior year, photos and resumes were submitted here in droves.
Fortunately, so far, the Blue Whale looks very reliable, and nothing happened that Wei Yang didn't want to see.
"But don't drink anymore today, just eat."
Director Zheng takes over as the boss, Xia Cong takes charge of the overall situation, and Liu Junjie has very high authority in the crew.
"Walk."
Even not long ago, Wei Yang was occasionally one of them...
"Haha, Director Liu hit the nail on the head."
"The image is okay, but the language is not clear, the mouth shape is strange, and I'm afraid she won't be able to grasp the temperament of domestic high school students."
"Xiao Wei, let's talk about the male protagonist."
Sun Wei reminded, Wei Yang was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Hu Ge suffered a serious car accident last year. At that time, he had not been reborn and had forgotten about it.
"Shu's singing is okay, and singer Jin Sha's performance in "The Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" was also good. There is also a singer named Yang Rong who acted in "Young Bao Qingtian 3". I personally recommend it the most."
"Yang Rong..."
"Director Liu, Mr. Sun, the finance department has just made a payment, and I cannot do without your help. I am treating you, and I hope you will show your respect."
In his previous life, Wei Yang had experienced a lot. Any discerning crew would refer to the screenwriter's opinion. However, the screenwriter only has the right to make suggestions, and the director and producer still have the right to make decisions.
Maybe it was because they weren't very familiar with each other, and they were still a bit pretentious, or maybe they were just good at it. After playing mahjong, the two of them went back to their respective homes without going up to the third floor, which saved Wei Yang a lot of money.
There are still many characters in "The Best of Us", including the male and female protagonists, the second male lead Xinghe, the teaching director, the female protagonist's two best friends, the male protagonist's best buddies, the mother-in-law's monitor, the new class teacher, the female protagonist's father Balabala, and the main characters are the two younger ones.
number.
I found a bathing center, had a bath, sauna and massage, and played a few rounds of mahjong.
Most of them are young characters. Considering the cost issue, I am afraid that a large number of new people will be used.
"Xiao Wei, you are the screenwriter. Let's first talk about your thoughts on the main creative role so that we can accurately select the casting range."
Liu Junjie suddenly asked: "When male students receive red envelopes, do female students also receive them?"
From being a candidate to being an examiner, Wei Yang accepted it well. It is not uncommon for screenwriters to participate in the casting process, which is not uncommon in the industry.
"It's okay. It's easy to choose within this range of conditions. We can directly send invitations to the group and then spread the word. Some people will submit their resumes for auditions."
After the conference, Liu Junjie took Wei Yang, Sun Wei and the assistant director to his office to discuss the casting matter.
"Too thin, but you can try."
"I don't drink. My classmate is from Shanghai. He told me that there is a time-honored restaurant. It is said that the craftsmanship was passed down from the Republic of China. The dishes here are very authentic. Do you two want to try the old-fashioned flavor of Shili Foreign Market?"
When we parted, Wei Yang's address to Sun Wei had changed from "Mr. Sun" to "Brother Sun".
He said he didn't drink, but he couldn't just eat. After tasting the dishes, Wei Yang arranged two more shows.
Wei Yang didn't delay. He saw that there was a whiteboard for meetings in the office, so he just took a marker and wrote on it while talking.
Liu Junjie temporarily asked the assistant director to write down his name, and then asked Wei Yang: "What do you recommend?"
"Make a note of these names and ask about the salary. If it's less than 50,000 an episode, I'll send you an audition invitation directly. If it's more than 50,000, we'll discuss it later."
Wei Yang wanted to make good friends with these two "bosses", and after getting along with him for these two days, Liu and Sun saw Wei Yang's talent and work style, thought he had great potential, and were willing to have more contact with him.
"Hu Ge, but I'm afraid the Tang Dynasty won't let him go, and the pay is not low."
"The heroine Geng Geng is the most important role in the whole drama. In my heart, the actor should be cute, preferably with a baby face and big eyes, not tall, and playful and lively."
With these two people getting along well, even if Wei Yanglu Xinghe's role is more than half guaranteed, life on the set of "The Best of Us" will be much easier.
After declining the warm invitation of the technician sister and checking out from the bathing center, Wei Yang looked at the high-rise buildings in the night sky of the Magic City and suddenly felt a little homesick.
Rubbing his face, Wei Yang dismissed those melancholy thoughts.
There is no point in being sad, making money is the first priority. I bought a house in Shanghai, brought my parents over, lived with my family, and came back when I wanted to...
