As soon as Fang Dongbai heard Li Yi's words, he understood what Li Yi was thinking.
"Zhao Qingyan has a pet store chain company under his own name. Of course he sells pets, but..."
Fang Dongbai frowned and said, "However, I really don't know whether the pets he has domesticated are rented or sold."
"Can you contact Zhao Qingyan?" Li Yi asked.
"We had contact in business before, and I have his contact information. Director Li would like to meet?" Fang Dongbai asked.
Li Yi nodded and said: "Yes, if we can find a suitable dog from Zhao Qingyan, it will save us another headache."
Fang Dongbai nodded, then shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't recommend Director Li to find Director Zhao Qingyan."
"Oh? Why?" Li Yi looked at Fang Dongbai with some surprise.
"Because Director Li can say that to a certain extent, this time he and Director Zhao Qingyan are very likely to become the most direct competitors. Even if you don't mean that, Times Light and Shadow, or the media, are very
The probability will make you your opponent." Fang Dongbai pondered for a moment and said.
"This doesn't seem to prevent me from finding director Zhao Qingyan to buy or rent dog actors, right?" Li Yi asked doubtfully.
"No, on the contrary, Director Li, you have been slandered by Wu Ting before, and you were also used by him to promote yourself. Although it was resolved by Director Li in the end, if Director Li asks Zhao Qingyan to rent a dog actor
, so how can we ensure that there will be no problems during the filming process? In other words, compared to us, Zhao Qingyan obviously understands dogs better, and our starring dog uses his, so the interests are at the mercy of
Next, will they let the dog cooperate until we finish filming?" Fang Dongbai looked at Li Yi and said.
"I also think Mr. Fang's worries are not unreasonable. Director Li, the release of the movie involves hundreds of millions of interests..." Mu Nanxing also said.
Zhuo Yixiong also nodded and said: "Actually, this kind of thing has never happened before. Actors quit in the middle of a performance. Although this kind of thing is rare, it is not unheard of, let alone a dog!"
"Okay, then the problem is back to the original point. Where should we find suitable dog actors?" Li Yi also accepted the opinions of Fang Dongbai and others, but he couldn't help but feel a little headache.
"How about the police dog?" At this time, Mu Nanxing suddenly asked.
Li Yi shook his head and said: "Although police dogs are well-trained, but because of this, they are not suitable to be pet actors. Have you ever heard of a saying that dogs that are too smart are not suitable to be police dogs because they are obedient?"
He has poor sex and has too many ideas of his own, and the dog actor we want needs him to be smart..."
"Actually, I have an idea!" At this time, Fang Dongbai suddenly said.
Li Yi and the other three couldn't help but look at Fang Dongbai.
"We need to audition to select actors, so why don't we hold an audition for dog actors? Not only can it help us choose the right dog actors, but it can also help us promote our movie in advance?" Fang Dongbai said.<
/p>
Li Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, right? The so-called masters among the people, and pets are no exception.
"I think it's okay!" Mu Nanxing also nodded and said.
"This is a good idea." Zhuo Yixiong also agreed.
Li Yi also thinks this idea is good.
"It's just that we don't seem to have much experience in this area." Li Yi couldn't help but frowned again.
"This is easy to handle. With your reputation, Director Li, since we are going to audition this kind of dog actor, we can definitely find an experienced partner to cooperate. I heard Mr. Mu say that Director Li has a good relationship with Penguin Video? Maybe it can be done.
Let’s go to Penguin Video to see if they are interested in cooperating.” Fang Dongbai said with a smile.
"After all, dog auditions are still very rare, and it is Director Li's new film. I believe it will definitely attract a lot of traffic. As long as there is attention, then I believe that Penguin Video or other video platforms
, will not refuse." Fang Dongbai added.
In fact, after Yan Wenwei received a call from Li Yi and learned about Li Yi's idea, he did not refuse. Moreover, he felt that he had been very lucky recently. No, it was like a pie falling from the sky.
Then, Yan Wenwei immediately said that this "dog talent show", for Yan Wenwei, he felt that this was a completely excellent and creative talent show.
He said that all production costs for this program, including the production team, including publicity and promotion, can be fully paid for by Penguin Video.
Penguin Video is really not short of money. Several other platforms that are evenly matched with Penguin Video are also not short of money. What are they short of?
It’s traffic, it’s topics!
Li Yi obviously underestimated the influence of his film casting. Although, although he only has two feature films (ignoring "Bitter Life"), he has become a rising director star.
The key thing is that this time I chose not an ordinary actor, but a dog actor, a pet actor.
Yan Wenwei knows how attractive the gimmick of pet actors is to melon-eating netizens and silly viewers. Don’t believe it? Just look at the playback volume and popularity of short videos about cute pets in self-media.
What's more, the gimmick is so big this time, it's Li Yi's movie, and it still casts a dog actor, who is also the protagonist!
It can be said that the two parties are interested in each other. On Li Yi's side, the main purpose is not to make money at all, but to find suitable pet actors for the new movie, and secondly to promote the new movie.
As for Penguin Video, what they are interested in is Li Yi's fame and the appeal of his new movie to the audience. At the same time, there is also the topic of pet actor selection.
What they are looking for is the traffic and topics they can bring to Penguin Video!
Therefore, Penguin Video is very generous and sincere, and the conditions are quite favorable, so the two parties can be said to hit it off.
The two sides quickly reached an agreement.
The dog talent show, tentatively titled "Dog Actors Please Take Your Place," will be jointly produced by Oceanwide Films, Li Yi Film Studio, and Penguin Video. Penguin Film and Television is responsible for all aspects of the program, including promotion, investment,
Production, and subsequent broadcast, etc.
In fact, Li Yi originally wanted to directly determine the breed of Chinese Garden Dog, but in the end Yan Wenwei said that for the sake of the effect of the show, it is best not to determine which breed of dog, and the final result must be Li Yi's
You decide for yourself, so there is no need to be so determined.
After Li Yi thought about it for a while, he didn't insist!
For Li Yi, he really didn't have much idea. He just wanted to choose the right dog actor and make the movie.
As for other things, they were not within his scope of consideration. However, the Chinese pastoral dog that he had decided on before was not necessarily dead if he thought about it carefully. After all, if there really was a certain dog that was particularly good at acting.
If so, it’s not like Li Yi can’t consider changing.
Anyway, in this movie, he has no intention of promoting a certain breed of dog.
