There were more than twenty men and women sitting there.
Before Hu Shuo and Tian Kai entered the room, everyone was talking about the future of Wanli Pictures and the fate of each of them.
Among these people are directors and actors. Unlike when Hu Shuo took over "Dabo Entertainment", these directors and actors from Wanli Pictures are all well-known, and at the very least they are senior actors with rich acting experience.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Hu who acquired our Wanli Pictures."
After sitting down, Tian Kai pointed at Hu Shuo and introduced.
Everyone clapped symbolically, and their emotions were not particularly high, because everyone had no idea what their fate would be after Wanli Pictures was acquired.
Hu Shuo glanced around the conference room. There were five or six actors present who looked familiar, but only three of them could be called directly by name.
One is a man in black wearing a peaked cap sitting in the corner, and a couple sitting on Hu Shuo's right.
The former is called Chen Aoshi. He is a well-known actor in China and can be regarded as the "first brother" of Wanli Pictures. At his peak, he was in the top tier. However, he has become somewhat outdated in the past two years. His current popularity and influence are incomparable to those at his peak.
It's kind of stuck between the second line and the first line.
The man's name is Yang Jian and the woman's name is Zheng Xue. Both are actors, and they are also second-tier actors. They are familiar and well-known, but they are both in a lukewarm state.
"We have been summoned here for two things today."
Hu Shuo skipped the polite part and said straight to the point: "First, it's about everyone's fate. After Wanli Pictures merges with Chuangshi Entertainment, everyone's agency contracts will not be fully accepted. Some people will definitely leave.
.”
"Second, I will conduct an assessment for everyone here. If you pass the assessment, you can stay. If you cannot pass the assessment, I'm sorry, you have to leave!"
Hu Shuo's words can be said to be concise and to the point, and as soon as his words fell, there was a burst of restlessness in the conference room. Obviously, the new boss's "three axes" were coming!
After hearing what Hu Shuo said, Tian Kai was a little surprised. He thought that Hu Shuo would treat the company's directors and actors the same way he treated their management.
However, judging by Hu Shuo's tone, some of the people present will definitely be kicked out.
Although Wanli Pictures is not a large entertainment company, it is backed by Wanli Cinemas and Wanli Group. These directors and actors can be relied on and will not have nothing to film. However, once they are kicked out of the company, the future
It's hard to say about Lu Ke. After all, most of the actors here are not famous.
"If you have any questions, you can ask me directly without any suspicion in private."
Listening to the chaotic discussion, Hu Shuo spoke again.
"Mr. Hu, how do you want to be assessed? Especially for an agent like this??"
The person who spoke was a man wearing a big green sweatshirt. Although this guy calls himself "Renjia", he is still a man, and he speaks in a very thin voice and subconsciously pinches his orchid fingers. In the entertainment industry, there are many men with this type of style.
, so, it’s not surprising.
"Mr. Hu, his name is Li Guojun, he is the agent of Li Jian and Zheng Xue." Tian Kai whispered in Hu Shuo's ear and introduced the other party's identity. There are five agents working in Wanli Pictures, and each of them brings two to
Three artists.
"After Wanli Pictures merges with Chuangshi Entertainment, an artist department will be established, and all agents will also be included in the artist department. As for whether they will stay or leave, it will of course depend on performance. However, the assessment of agents will be slightly delayed."
Hu Shuo responded.
"Mr. Hu, how do you plan to evaluate us directors and actors?"
The person asking the question was a middle-aged man with a big beard.
"Mr. Hu, this is Director Zhang Fan." Tian Kai reminded in a low voice again.
Hu Shuo nodded. Among the information about directors and actors signed by Wanli Pictures that Tian Kai just gave him, Zhang Fan was the first. He had directed two films with a box office of over 300 million, and was somewhat famous in the industry. Therefore,
When Hu Shuo said he wanted to take an assessment, Zhang Fan was actually a little unconvinced.
Zhang Fan's problem at the moment was a matter of concern to everyone here. Therefore, at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Hu Shuo.
"I will conduct a practical assessment for everyone here!"
Hu Shuo pressed his hands on the conference table, glanced around the people in the room, and said seriously: "I have two scripts here. I will send them to all of you later. Each of you can freely choose between the two scripts."
Any role, and then audition, after confirming the role, the two scripts will be directed by Zhang Fan, um, which one is directed by Li Yuqing??"
Speaking of this, Hu Shuo glanced around the conference room again.
"I am."
A fat man in his thirties raised his hand.
"Um."
Hu Shuo nodded and continued: "After the actors are determined, these two scripts will be directed by Director Zhang Fan and Director Li Yuqing, respectively. Then, I will set a box office standard. If the box office does not meet the standard, the director will be directly eliminated and the actors will be eliminated."
The decision will be made based on the performance in the play. If the box office reaches the standard, the whole team will pass the assessment!"
After finishing speaking, Hu Shuo turned to look at Tian Kai: "Mr. Tian, please remind me of the script I just asked to print, and then send it out immediately."
"OK."
Tian Kai agreed and left the conference room.
After hearing what Hu Shuo said about the assessment model, some of the people present were happy and some were worried.
"Mr. Hu, can I also audition for the lead role?"
At this time, another man asked. He was sitting in the corner of the conference room next to Chen Aoshi. He was in his thirties and looked a bit abstract. This man's name was Ma Ye. He was a senior actor, but he was just like him.
Most of the time, this kind of external condition means playing a clown in a play, playing a side role or something like that.
"certainly."
Hu Shuo nodded: "Wait a minute, after everyone gets the script, no matter what your previous positioning was, you can try any role you are interested in!"
"Then I have to audition for the male lead!" Ma Ye said with a smile on his face.
"The male protagonist?"
"Thank you for being able to figure it out!" Chen Aoshi, who had been playing with his cell phone with his head down, rolled his eyes at Ma Ye next to him with disdain in his eyes.
"Mr. Hu said you can try out for any role." Ma Ye shrank his neck and muttered in a low voice. After all, Chen Aoshi was the "big brother" of the company, and he didn't dare to offend him.
"Mr. Hu, do I need to take an assessment too?"
At this time, Chen Aoshi raised his head, looked at Hu Shuo and asked.
"I said, everyone here will be assessed!" Hu Shuo replied with a serious face.
Hearing this, Chen Aoshi snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with Hu Shuo's decision, but he also refuted it.
At this time, Tian Kai left and returned, followed by two civilian staff, each holding a large stack of scripts.
"Send it."
Hu Shuo winked at the two of them.
The two agreed and distributed the scripts they held to everyone present.
"Director Zhang, Director Li, you two will discuss it first and see how to distribute it. However, I told you two in advance that the box office standards of the two scripts are different."
Hu Shuo said to Zhang Fan and Li Yuqing, the only contracted directors of Wanli Pictures.
Both of them nodded, and after receiving the script, they read it carefully.
In fact, Zhang Fan was very dissatisfied with the assessment that Hu Shuo said, because in his opinion, Hu Shuo, a "layman", was not qualified to assess them. Especially, the other party actually prepared two scripts for them.
They come to take pictures.
Zhang Fan certainly didn't think that these two scripts would be good scripts. If they weren't terrible, they would be considered good. And when he saw the synopsis of the first script, his face showed such an expression.
A mediocre man was betrayed by his wife and fell into pain that he couldn't extricate himself from. In order to help him get rid of the pain, his friend took him on a funny journey of hunting for beauty...
Without reading the content of the script, Zhang Fan could smell the smell of bad movies just from the synopsis of the story. As a senior director, he has read too many scripts. Often the ones mentioned as funny in the introduction are actually embarrassing to death.
, and this kind of setting where the male protagonist is raped is even worse!
Skipping this vulgar cuckold setting script, Zhang Fan opened the second script: a pair of friends broke up one after another, and after ending their relationship, they began to let themselves go and embark on a hilarious yp journey...
After reading the synopsis of the second script, Zhang Fan couldn't help but have a helpless smile on his face. It was exactly as he guessed, it was two bad scripts that couldn't get any worse!
