Knowing Fang Jing's worries, Xu Shi chuckled, "Don't worry when I do the work, but I would say it's better for you to get involved."
"Why do we say that we are also one of the fathers who are sponsors now, how can we deserve this million if we don't get a role? The five and six men have no future, or else we should just start a whole family."
Fang Jing was startled, "Are you crazy, Zhang Qiling, the second male lead? You don't know how popular this character is. It would be too difficult to force it on me. Many people are jealous, and other investors will not agree."
"It's not as difficult as you think." Xu Shi sighed, "Zhang Qiling doesn't have too many roles, but the character is likeable. In terms of the number of appearances, he is not as good as Wu Xie's follower Fatty."
"There are only three investors in total. If I choose you, your company will definitely support it. What can Aiqi do if they don't compromise?"
"Besides, what's wrong with investing millions for a character? Which company doesn't want to fill the role? You don't know how crazy they are. In order to praise their own artist, they changed my suspense into a romance."
Xu Shi got angry when he mentioned this. There must be changes in the film and television adaptation. He had no objection, but just change it. The core content would remain the same.
But when I got the script yesterday, I almost recited it in one breath. Aiqi created an extra character for him for no reason, named Cheng Chengcheng. Huanrui was not to be outdone. Several screenwriters put it together and the new character He Shao was released.
It had nothing to do with the original work but was added in. He was embarrassed when he read it.
Anyway, it is ruined now, and it is foreseeable that the audience will criticize him during the broadcast. It is better to go all the way to the end and support Fang Jing first, so that his family will not suffer.
Fang Jing did not agree immediately, but asked: "Isn't Yang Yang going to play? Zhang Qiling was originally scheduled to be one of them, right?"
"I don't know. His agent mentioned it to me before, saying that he would bring it over for a look sometimes, but there has been no movement for more than a month. I guess it's a bit confusing,"
Fang Jing nodded slowly, understood. It seems he is leaving. The company will not use resources to promote other artists.
Since Yang Yang couldn't play the role, he wouldn't be polite.
"Okay, I understand. When will the casting be started? I'll talk to my agent this afternoon and see if I can compete."
"Tomorrow morning, hurry up! As long as you show up, I will choose you."
Fang Jing sweated profusely, "Brother, keep a low profile. You should look at the others first, and then choose me by accident."
"Acting, right? I understand." Xu Shi continued to drink, "By the way, have you ever acted?"
Fang Jing's chest thumped loudly, "I just came back from a play and the director agreed."
"That's fine. Zhang Qiling is a young man. He's not much older than you. He doesn't have many lines. He keeps a straight face anyway. You just make do with it."
In the afternoon, the door to Yang Ning's office was ajar, and Fang Jing sneaked in. Xiao Wenjing was not there, so Yang Ning was immersed in reading documents.
"Sister Ning? What are you busy with?"
"If you have something to say, go away." Yang Ning didn't even raise her head.
Fang Jing walked in gracefully, sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "Do you have any activities planned recently? For example, movies and TV series."
"There are no movies and TV shows, but there is a concert. Yesterday the company had a meeting, and Mr. Jia was interested in letting you hold a concert."
"It's not like a 10-dollar ticket. It's the Magic City Sports Center, with 10,000 people. Now the senior management is discussing the specific costs and risk assessment, and it is estimated that the results will be available in a while."
"If you can rest these days, take a good rest. Once it's confirmed that you're going to have a concert, you won't be able to put your feet on the ground for months."
Fang Jing is very popular right now, and every now and then, the company spends money to put him on trending searches, and the publicity team doesn't let him go either. He gets millions of exposures every week.
The meager number of fans is tens of millions, which is higher than that of the four returning brothers who just came back last year. It is no exaggeration to say that now Fang Jing does not dare to go out without a few bodyguards. This is traffic!
Ahem! Fang Jing cleared his throat and said, "Sister Ning, I heard that the company is going to film Tomb Raider Notes and the casting will be done tomorrow."
"What, you want to go?" Yang Ning raised her head, "What's the point of a broken drama? It can't be on TV, and Li Yifeng next door is reluctant to accept it."
When the contract was changed, the company promised to give Li Yifeng the first male lead in three major dramas. Last year's Gu Jian Qi Tan was the first, and this year's Tomb Raiders is the second.
When Li Yifeng received the notice, he was so angry that he almost scolded his mother. He had promised to be the leading actor in one of the three major dramas, and now he would create a bad drama to fool him.
To put it mildly, the investment is 40 million. Putting aside the actors' salary, I'm afraid there is no production fee of 10 million. There are also props, special effects, lighting, post-editing, and photography. Such a group of people need wages. How much of the 10 million will be left?
When the time comes for a 50-cent special effect, the audience still has to scold him? The reputation that he managed to build will be ruined.
But you can't accept it. The resources are here. If the company gives them to you, you don't want them. If you turn back, it will be regarded as fulfilling the contract.
Walking to the desk, Fang Jing smiled playfully and said, "Sister Ning, I have nothing to do anyway, just hone my acting skills. I don't know if the concert will be popular, and even if it is, the preparation time will not be able to be done in a day or two.
."
Yang Ning frowned, "You want to make a drama so much? Fang Jing, I have to remind you that singing is your main business, and film and television are not out of the question, but don't put the cart before the horse."
"I know, but you can't play games at home when you have nothing to do, right?" Fang Jing was helpless.
Nowadays, he can't stand the small business actors. They only cost hundreds of thousands to travel all the way. It takes too much time. Endorsements are the big deal.
"Okay, I'll ask for you later to see if there are any more roles."
Yang Ning thought of Xiao Wenjing telling her some time ago that Fang Jing was a little addicted to games and might as well find something to do.
She didn't object to spending money to buy skin, since she didn't have much money anyway. What she was afraid of was that Fang Jing would reward people randomly, and her hard-earned money would be wasted in just a few days, which made her feel bad.
"Okay! I'll go back to Sister Ning first. If there's any news, call me."
Fang Jing walked downstairs and happened to see the company's Vice President Zhen and Yang Yang, each holding a storage box and registering at the front desk.
By the time he walked over, the two of them had already gone out.
"Do you want me to ask the driver to take you there?"
Seeing two people standing on the roadside waiting for the bus, Fang Jing went over and kindly helped.
"Thank you, no, the driver has already gone to the garage." Yang Yang shook his head.
"Hey! Is this Fang Jing?" Zhen Shikai took off his sunglasses.
"Hello, Mr. Zhen."
"I'm no longer the vice president. Just call me Brother Kai. The young man is doing well. Come and sit with me when you have time."
Zhen Shikai is in his early thirties. He wears a straight suit and is meticulous. He looks very gentlemanly. His eyes are slightly longer and he looks a bit cunning and shrewd.
After that, he gave Fang Jing a business card.
President of Yanjing Yuekai Film and Television Media Company.
Looking at the title above, Fang Jing was calm on the surface, but a little yearning in his heart.
Zhen Shikai has broken free from the shackles of Huanrui World and can flex his muscles to plan his own career. I wonder when he will reach this point.
Compared with the company, artists are like children. They can do whatever the adults tell them to do. If they don't obey, they won't be given food. After a few hungry meals, they will be honest.
In order to be able to feed himself in the future without worrying about his appearance, Fang Jing will have to start his own business sooner or later.11
