As the first drama of Chuangshi Entertainment, the importance of "Love Apartment" is self-evident. If it fails, it will probably become the last drama of Chuangshi Entertainment.
As a sitcom with distinctive characters, the casting of this drama is even more important and cannot be sloppy. In fact, Hu Shuo has already prepared for the worst, if the artist signed by the company cannot interpret the character well.
For the characters in it, he would have no choice but to go outside to cast. As a result, the production cost of the entire drama would increase, and the artists of his own company would not be able to get performance opportunities. Therefore, this is a last resort.
Half an hour passed quickly and the audition began.
The first person to perform was Sun Dasheng. He came from a grassroots background. After graduating from high school, he went to Jiangcheng to take a crash course in acting, and then started living a life of "Jiang Piao". Although he is only 25 years old this year, he has been in the industry for seven years.
After 20 years, he is considered a "senior" actor.
Sun Dasheng's appearance is not bad, he is nearly 180cm tall and has good facial features. In the entertainment industry where there are many handsome guys, his appearance can also be rated as a 7.
The role assigned to him by Feng Haibo was Lu Ziqiao, and he seemed to be very good at this role, and he also auditioned for the role of Lu Ziqiao.
He played the role of pretending to be a priest, and the short part was quite lively and engaging.
Hu Shuo was quite satisfied with his performance and immediately decided to cast him as Lu Ziqiao.
Next, several actors performed one after another, while Hu Shuo and Feng Haibo sat next to them and criticized them seriously. Soon, all their performances were over.
What surprised Hu Shuo was that the acting skills of these people were all okay, only the girl named Xu Meng was slightly weaker. However, she was the most beautiful among the three actresses, which actually fits that sentence.
"My acting skills are not enough, I have to make up for my appearance." In addition, the role she auditioned for was Lin Wanyu. Compared with the two roles of Hu Yifei and Chen Meijia, the character's characteristics and plasticity are weaker. In addition, she can play
Her appearance is barely enough to hold up the role of Lin Wanyu.
"How about Brother Shuo, aren't the roles I assigned them reliable?"
After watching the performances of several people, Feng Haibo smiled proudly, because the roles they auditioned for were all roles assigned by him, and the results were good after they were performed.
"Well, it seems that I underestimated your ability."
Hu Shuo smiled, this was true, and his previous understanding of Feng Haibo was that this guy would mess around with some unreliable projects, such as "The Great Sword of the Kingdom of Women" and "My Aunt's Secret"
type of drama.
Just hearing the names made me think that these dramas were low, so Hu Shuo had doubts about Feng Haibo's ability. However, after he actually started to cooperate, he discovered that Feng Haibo's business ability was really good. In this way, Hu Shuo could save his worries.
Already.
"Then the role is decided like this?"
Feng Haibo asked.
"Well, that's it. Before starting the filming, you can lead them to figure out the characters more." Hu Shuo warned again.
"Don't worry, we are all professional actors!" Feng Haibo chuckled.
"That's it for now, you guys continue chatting, I'll go back and write the script."
After saying this, Hu Shuo stood up and left the conference room.
The first season of "Love Apartment" has a total of twenty episodes, and Hu Shuo has only written two episodes now. He has to write more than a dozen episodes before the filming starts, so as not to delay the filming schedule due to script reasons.
Back in the office, Hu Shuo sat directly in front of the computer and started writing the script for the third episode. However, before he could write a few words, his phone rang with a WeChat message.
Hu Shuo took the phone and glanced at it. It was a friend request message. The other party's nickname was "Yuanbao Mom" and there was a note: I am Li Ziwei.
"Well"
Seeing this message, Hu Shuo felt a little embarrassed. Yesterday, someone specially gave him his business card and asked him to add a WeChat message. As a result, Hu Shuo had been playing with Zuo Zuo after picking her up yesterday, and he was focused on writing in the evening.
The script of "Love Apartment" had completely forgotten about this matter, but now, people took the initiative to come to my door.
Embarrassed as it was, Hu Shuo hurriedly approved the other party's application, and then took the initiative to apologize: "I'm really sorry, Sister Wei, my daughter kept making a lot of noise yesterday, and she forgot everything else as soon as she coaxed the baby to come."
There was no other way, Hu Shuo could only throw the blame on Zuo Zuo.
"This is how children make trouble." Li Ziwei replied. It seemed that she did not mean to blame. Of course, even if she had it, she would not be able to express it.
"How are you doing with "Healthy Song"?" Li Ziwei got to the point directly.
"Sister Wei, I didn't have time to tell you yesterday. Actually, that song is my work." Hu Shuo responded truthfully.
"Are you the original author? When did Mr. Hu start writing songs??" Li Ziwei was obviously surprised.
"Hey, haven't I been playing for the past few years? I just write things when I'm bored. That song "Health Song" is actually written for fun." Hu Shuo replied.
"Hey! It's written that anyone who plays can become famous. Mr. Hu, you are really awesome!"
"Since the song belongs to Mr. Hu, it's easy to talk about. You can set a price."
Li Ziwei asked bluntly.
"Sister Wei, actually I really don't want to sell this song, but since you have spoken, I have to give it to you no matter what. However, I hope to meet and talk, because I have a few conditions."
"We can meet and talk. I have time now. Where are you? I'll go find you." Li Ziwei was really interested in the song "Health Song" and even offered to come see Hu Shuo.
"I'm at Jinhui Building." Hu Shuo directly sent his location.
"Ouch!"
"That's a coincidence. I'm in the Wanxin Building opposite you." Li Ziwei replied.
"Well, that's really a coincidence." Hu Shuo didn't expect it either.
"Okay, please send me the specific floor number and I'll see you in ten minutes."
"OK"
Hu Shuo replied and then sent the company’s detailed address.
Not long after, there was a commotion outside Hu Shuo's office.
"Wow, it's really Sister Wei!"
"Sister Wei, can you sign your name for me?"
"Sister Wei, can we take a photo together?"
""
"It's okay to sign autographs and take photos, but I'll wait until I finish talking to you, Mr. Hu, about business." Li Ziwei's voice came into the office.
Hearing this, Hu Shuo hurried out to greet him.
"Sister Wei, here it is~!"
Hu Shuo waved to Li Ziwei, who was surrounded by company employees.
"Um."
Li Ziwei nodded and walked into Hu Shuo's office amidst everyone's doubtful eyes.
"What do you two want to drink?"
Li Duo also came with Li Ziwei. The little girl followed Li Ziwei quietly, looking very well-behaved.
"Just plain water will do."
Li Ziwei replied lightly.
"Um."
Hu Shuo nodded, poured two glasses of water for the two of them and put them on the coffee table.
"Is this your company?"
Looking around the office, Li Ziwei asked.
"Well, it's a small fight." Hu Shuo smiled.
"My music studio is in the Wanxin Building across the street. Unexpectedly, we are still neighbors." Li Ziwei smiled.
"Yeah, that's really fate!"
Hu Shuo smiled and nodded, and said, "Sister Wei came to visit in person. She must have really enjoyed the song "Health Song"."
"The main reason is that Duoduo likes it, and that song is indeed suitable for Duoduo." Li Ziwei pointed to Li Duo beside her, and then went directly to the topic: "Mr. Hu, now you can talk about your small conditions.
?”
"Well that's it"
Hu Shuo cleared her throat and said seriously: "Sister Wei, you also know that the song "Health Song" has become popular. No matter who sings such a song, she will gain fame and fortune, so, this song"
“The price will be high??”
Li Ziwei took the words and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu just asks the price. If the price is right, I won't counter-offer."
"No, Sister Wei may have misunderstood."
Hu Shuo shook his head: "I won't sell this song, but I can exclusively authorize Duoduo to sing it. Then after the song is released online, we will share the profit from major music platforms 64%, and I will get 60%."
"Is that so?"
Li Ziwei frowned slightly. This kind of cooperation is also a very common way of cooperation. However, choosing this kind of cooperation requires the original creator to be extremely confident in his own work. Otherwise, once the song is online and there is no splash, he will also take it.
Not much money.
But this situation obviously will not happen with "Health Song". After all, it is already popular. Therefore, Hu Shuo is very smart to choose this cooperation method. The benefits of a popular song are often thousands.
It’s calculated in units of 10,000, but if you want to buy a song, a million is already a sky-high price, and it must be a work by a top-tier domestic songwriter.
After all, no one can be sure that a song will be popular before it is released online. Therefore, this kind of buyout method is very risky, and the price cannot be too high.
"There is no problem with the cooperation method proposed by Mr. Hu, but I hope it is a 50-50 split." Li Ziwei replied lightly. At present, this kind of cooperation method is almost a 50-50 split. Unless the other party is a great author, the split will be 50-50.
There was a slight inclination.
"Sister Wei, please listen to what I have to say first."
Hu Shuo smiled and shrugged, and continued: "This is just a prerequisite for my agreement to cooperate. There are two small conditions that I haven't mentioned yet."
"Um?"
"Are there any conditions??" Li Ziwei couldn't help but frowned: "You tell me."
"My company is currently producing a drama. However, the funds are a bit tight and there are no big names to join. Therefore, the first condition is that I hope Sister Wei can play a guest role. Of course, the role will not be large, that is, a few
It’s just a line. What I want is just a publicity stunt. The second condition is that I hope Duoduo will try out the theme song of my drama first. If it’s suitable, I hope she will also sing the theme song.
, of course, it is also an exclusive authorized sharing cooperation model.”
After mentioning his conditions, Hu Shuo smiled gently at Li Ziwei: "Sister Wei, this is my small condition. If you can agree, we can continue the discussion."
""
Li Ziwei had a dark face and was speechless for a while.
Is this a small condition??
If the conditions were serious, I wouldn’t be able to sell to Hu Shuo’s company???
