Chapter 174: Zhu Xian starts filming and invests 300 million
As usual, today Liu Wei went to the company to clock in at nine o'clock on time, and if nothing else happened, he listened to the training with the trainees.
At the beginning, the company always said that training is very important for newcomers and not to rush to get ahead. Now she has seen it clearly and just listen to it.
Those of them who are not in a hurry to get ahead are eating dirt here every day, while those who are in a hurry to get ahead have already made a lot of money and become famous all over the world.
Li Yifeng and Fang Jing have not participated in many trainings, so they are very popular now.
Even Shen Hao is doing better than her. Recently, an urban idol drama starring Shen Hao was aired on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV. Although it was an afternoon show, it was quite popular and was invited by several variety shows.
"Sister Weiwei, here we come!"
"Well, how is Xiao Li Ge's writing? Do you want me to help you check it?"
"Then I'm sorry to bother you. I'll pay you and treat you to a meal."
"It's okay, it's okay to be idle."
"Easy? Sister Wei, didn't you check Weibo this morning?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Didn't you attend Fang Jing's concert yesterday? There were so many big stars as guest singers, and now the Internet is going crazy."
"Did you know that you are also popular now? I see that many public accounts are writing articles about you."
As soon as Liu Wei sat down, the assistant ran over excitedly before the computer was turned on and said, "Sister Wei, the director is looking for you."
"Do you know anything?"
"Good thing!" After looking around, the assistant whispered: "It seems I want to change your agent."
Liu Wei was overjoyed that she had really had enough of working under Huang Jinyuan and had no resources at all. She had wanted to change her agent for a long time, but she kept her mouth shut and did not dare to say anything for fear of offending others.
…
"Fang Jing, which one should you choose among these two roles?" In the office, Yang Ning handed over two scripts.
"Zhu Xian!" Fang Jing frowned when he saw the name on the cover. He remembered that the copyright had only been in Huanrui's hands for a few months, right? The script was actually written by someone in such a short period of time, and he didn't know how good the quality was.
In the previous life, the all-star cast, the special effects and the plot were okay, but the martial arts was not good. It was just a few moves over and over again, just like a child playing house.
"Lin Jingyu, Zeng Shushu!"
Open the content and let him choose between two characters.
After looking at it carefully for half an hour, but without coming to a conclusion, Fang Jing looked at Yang Ning and said, "Sister Ning, which one do you think I should choose?"
"You wrote it, and I also read the script. You know the effect of the character better than I do. Both of them are duplicates, but in terms of roles, Zeng Shushu has more roles."
"But since you asked me for my opinion, I suggest you choose Lin Jingyu. I have compared the two. Lin Jingyu's emotions should be richer."
Fang Guang nodded. In the early stage, Lin Jingyu was a genius that everyone admired. In the later stage, his master betrayed Qingyun, and his eldest brother became a demon from childhood. The life experience of this series is indeed more tortuous, and the level of tragedy is no less tragic than that of the protagonist.
"Besides, you have too much work in the second half of the year and don't have enough time. If you choose Zeng Shushu, who has more roles, you may miss a lot of opportunities due to schedule reasons."
This concert was a huge success. There were so many endorsement companies looking for cooperation with Fang Jing that Yang Ning couldn't bear to look at them. After screening them all and weighing the pros and cons, there were more than a dozen that made her heart beat, not to mention a large number of invitations to variety shows.
Now Fang Jing’s schedule is scheduled until after the new year!
"Then let's go to Lin Jingyu!" Fang nodded and accepted the script, "When will the filming start?"
"Early August! In addition, this time you will have a screenwriter name in the play as the author, so you don't have to do anything."
Fang Jing chuckled, "I never thought I would be a screenwriter one day. Do I have to be present during the casting?"
"Yes! But don't think you have a chance to cast. This time, the investors and producers are our company. We don't use fake people. Basically, we use people from our own company."
"In order to compete for roles, their group of agents who specialize in film and television have long been fighting to death. Now most of the important roles have been booked."
"The competition is so fierce? How much investment?"
"It is advertised as 300 million, but in reality it is at least 235 million. It is definitely serious and not a trivial matter, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people fighting for it."
Looking at Fang Jing, Yang Ning said: "The male protagonist Li Yifeng, the female protagonist Zhao Liying, plus you, they are the three major traffic, and there is also a new group that emerged last year, called T Boys."
The test of "Tomb Raider Notes" was very successful. The top management of Huanrui World came to the conclusion that as long as the IP is good and the protagonist is traffic, there will definitely be money to be made. In addition to last year's "Gu Jian Qi Tan", they have already won a lot of money with these two dramas.
Full.
This time, too, I was ruthless and gave out more than 200 million. I didn’t attract any investors, which shows that I was very confident and determined to go it alone.
"Don't be discouraged. This is the last leading role that the company has promised to Li Yifeng. Your reputation is no less than his. We have decided to let you play the leading male role in next year's new drama."
With Fang Jing's current reputation, it was indeed a bit unreasonable for him to play a supporting role for Li Yifeng and others in the drama. He was afraid that he would have ideas, so Yang Ning carefully enlightened him. This was also the intention of the company's upper management.
"Next year? What show?"
"I don't know the specific name yet, it should be a costume drama."
Got it! Another hit. In Fang Jing’s memory, Huanrui didn’t have any good works in Queen of the Immortals. Sparrow starring Li Yifeng and Glory of the Tang Dynasty starring Tang Yan both had mixed reviews, with more people scolding them than praising them.
.
Huanrui has been going downhill since 2017, with artists changing jobs one after another. In the end, both the leading actress and the first brother left. We had no choice but to support the artists in the second tier.
But except for Yang Zi, who still has a good reputation, no one else can beat him. It is not easy for such a large company to be supported by just one person.
"I'm not discouraged. I was originally going to cross the line. If it doesn't work out, let's just keep singing." Fang Jing has already made up his mind to run away when the time comes. This company has no future.
With his current reputation, it is certain that his contract will be upgraded. According to Yang Ning, if he becomes the leading actor next year, he should upgrade his contract to A before becoming the leading actor.
Once the contract is upgraded, the original five-year contract may become ten years. If it continues, I don't know whether the company will support him or he will support the company.
Thinking that he was angry, Yang Ning said: "Don't say that. In fact, your acting talent is still very good. Next year I will introduce you to a few big dramas and cooperate with some powerful actors. If you have two or three dramas next time, the reputation will be accumulated. The company will
If you don’t give it, someone will ask you to be the protagonist.”
"Then it's settled. You can arrange the film and television drama. Anyway, I don't know much about it." Fang Jing picked up the script and Deng Chao's movie synopsis and stood up. He smiled and said, "I'm going back now. I'll send it to you later."
The ancestor of the family went to summer camp."
Just after I came out of the office, I met Liu Wei on the road. I saw her brisk steps and shouted two words without hearing her. She turned around only after the third time.
"Why are you so happy about a good thing? You ignored me even when I said hello."
Pulling Fang Jing aside, Liu Wei whispered: "Didn't I attend your concert yesterday? A bunch of notices came to your door today, but Huang Jinyuan doesn't know anything about it out there."
"The director said she had too many people to take care of, so she handed me over to other managers. Let me tell you, I finally got through this time. My manager promised to find me a variety show and release an album at the end of the year."
"Congratulations!"
Fang Jing is also really happy for Liu Wei to be able to come forward. She is a very good girl. It is a pity to cover it up like this.
"I would also like to thank you very much. If you hadn't brought me to the concert, the company wouldn't have known when they would have discovered me."
