Chen Feng was noncommittal about their speeches. He then continued to ask: "Aside from Xu Wei, do you have any other directors to recommend?"
Liu Gan said: "Martial arts dramas are in decline in China, and no one has made martial arts dramas for several years. Before that, in terms of martial arts dramas, Xu Weiruo was second, and no other director dared to be number one. He was Recognized as the number one director of martial arts dramas."
Fan Dongping nodded in agreement this time: "It's true. Xu Wei had his own team when filming martial arts dramas, including action designers, martial arts instructors, props, makeup, costume designers, etc. The martial arts dramas he filmed, The fighting scenes are the most enjoyable to watch. He just has a bad temper, and it’s been several years now, so I don’t know if he still has the professionalism he had before.”
Li Kai said: "I'm afraid that if he has a bad temper, he will cause trouble with the rest of the crew, and as a result, the filming will not be successful."
Jia Yong suggested: "How about we invite him for an interview first?"
Li Kai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xu Wei is well-known in the industry for his bad temper and his arrogance. As the number one actor in martial arts dramas back then, he was really prosperous for a while. Now we let him come for an interview. He may not be willing."
Liu Gan said: "You can contact us first. It doesn't hurt to try."
Fan Dongping also said: "You can contact us first to see if there is any loss. As for whether he may not get along with other members of the crew in the future, don't worry too much. As long as we send someone to the crew to watch him."
Li Kai shook his head and said: "You are a proud and arrogant person. How can you keep track of him if you just send someone in to look at him?"
Fan Dongping said with a smile: "Isn't there a boss? Since the boss attaches so much importance to this martial arts drama, he must be the producer himself. With the boss personally watching him, what kind of trouble can he make?"
After Li Kai was stunned for a moment, he smiled and said: "If the boss is watching in person, of course there will be no problem."
Seeing this, Chen Feng signaled to Jia Yong: "Then find a way to contact him first. If it doesn't work, you can only find someone else. The next step is the issue of the male and female protagonists. I prefer Li Yixue to play the female lead. , what do you think?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Susie, who had been silent until now, was the first to object: "She is not from our company. It would be a waste not to give such a good role to someone from our company, but to give it to her." .And it’s unfair to the people in our own company. I think Huang Rong’s role, Li Binbin, is very suitable.”
Chen Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Can I not choose someone from my own company? The main reason is that several actresses in the company are not suitable for the role of Huang Rong. Li Binbin's appearance is barely suitable for the role of Huang Rong, but Her temperament, especially her quirky temperament, is completely incapable of her. As for Zheng Xiaoyan, it's even worse. She is originally positioned as a comedian, and her appearance and temperament don't match her. The others are not very suitable either."
Su Qian was a little angry and said: "Wouldn't it mean that our company has worked so hard to create this martial arts drama just to make wedding clothes for other companies?"
She was sure that Chen Feng's martial arts drama would be a hit. The reason was simple. She had read the script written by Chen Feng in advance and she liked it very much.
Jia Yong pondered: "Is it possible to poach Li Yixue here?"
Su Qian said: "If we can recruit her, I would not object to letting her play the role of Huang Rong. Boss, I think you would have a great chance of speaking out about this matter in person. First of all, you had trouble with her before.
There have been scandals. Secondly, she was a singer before, but she stopped singing and turned to acting. As a result, she has never made any good works. I think her contract company must be very disappointed with her now and has no intention of promoting her anymore.
.In this period of time, I have basically seen no relevant reports about her.”
Chen Feng nodded and said: "I also have this idea. It would be best if she can be signed. If it is not possible, we can secretly make a deal with her contract company and let Li Yixue play the heroine. First of all
She will definitely have to reduce her salary, and secondly, her contract company must also return some resources to our company. For example, if they have any good movies and TV series in the future, and if there are any good roles in them, actors from our company can go and ask for them."
After Susie thought for a while, she nodded and said, "If this is possible, I have no objection."
"Then let's talk about the male protagonist. You have all read the script. Do you have any good recommendations?"
Li Dazhi, who had been silent until now, raised his hand and said: "Master, why don't you let me play the role? I am very interested in the role of Guo Jing, and I also feel very similar to this Guo Jing. He has been dull and honest since he was a child.
Respect your elders, accept death, be stubborn and brave, etc.”
"Okay. If you keep talking nonsense, I will make fun of your qualifications for membership in the future."
Chen Feng's meeting this time was a high-level meeting of the company. Although Li Dazhi, his nominal assistant, often attended it in the past, after the company expanded, Chen Feng had clarified Li Dazhi's position as a middle-level cadre at the department manager level.
The company's external publicity work, especially publicity on the Internet, is not the company's top management.
But Li Dazhi was thick-skinned, and because he was not only a veteran of the company, but also the apprentice of the boss, Chen Feng, he came to such high-level meetings uninvited. Chen Feng did not personally tell him to leave, and of course the others were not good either.
speak.
"Master, I'm serious, why don't you think about it?" Li Dazhi looked like he didn't understand.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you really want to act, then you can go to the crew and play a small role, playing soldiers and minions."
Li Dazhi suddenly had a bitter look on his face, and the others couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking at him with a joking look on their faces.
"Okay, let's continue the topic just now. Do you have any suitable candidates?"
Su Qian was the first to recommend: "I think Xiao Bai is quite suitable. Although he looks a little bit more handsome and does not fit Guo Jing's character setting, he is honest, dull, not good at words, stubborn and brave, and his character is quite similar to his.
of."
Liu Gan also echoed: "I also think Xiaobai can do it. As for a person's handsome appearance, it can be fine-tuned through makeup. Besides, you can't pick an ugly person to play the leading role. The script doesn't say that Guo Jing is ugly.
"
Fan Dongping agreed: "I second the suggestion. You can give Xiaobai a chance."
Li Kai laughed and said: "Li Kai is actually quite spiritual, but he has never had a good role that suits him personally. I think the role of Guo Jing is a role that is more suitable for him. Let him give it a try."
Jia Yong said: "Now that our Jianlin is more famous than Xiaobai, I think Xiaobai should also be given a chance to get ahead."
In fact, Chen Feng was more inclined to let Jiang Xiaobai play Guo Jing from the beginning. The main reason why he worked so hard to write this Condor Shooting Game was to praise his own company's artists, especially those at the veteran level.
Li Binbin and Jiang Xiaobai.
However, there are still some differences between Jiang Xiaobai and Guo Jing's character. Guo Jing is honest and dull. Although Jiang Xiaobai is also honest, he is not dull at all. Instead, he is more showy. After getting to know people, he is simply a chatterbox.
.To put it simply, it’s boring.
Another thing is that he is indeed a bit more handsome than Guo Jing. Chen Feng originally wanted to choose him according to the standard of the 1983 version of the male protagonist, not very handsome but not ugly, above average, not creamy. Because of this
The first version is recognized as the most classic. But in the other versions, the male protagonists who played Guo Jing were more handsome than the other, but it turned out that they were not as good as this version.
Of course Chen Feng wanted to learn this lesson.
Jiang Xiaobai looks a bit creamy, like a pretty boy. Even though the character Xie Xiaomeng he played in "Crazy" was a bit self-destructive and more down-to-earth, he is still an idol in essence.
Originally, he wanted to hire Jiang Xiaobai, but when he met several people, they all recommended him. Chen Feng also thought that Jiang Xiaobai was the first person signed by his company, earlier than Chu Jianlin, and more talented.
, but now that Chu Jianlin has become an almost first-tier star, he is still struggling in the middle and lower reaches of the second tier at most.
I really wanted to give him a chance. After thinking about it, Chen Feng finally decided to let him act.
"Okay. Then give him this chance. I hope he will not live up to our expectations of him."
When Li Dazhi heard this, he immediately said happily: "Master, don't worry. Xiaobai will definitely not let you down. I would like to assure you and thank you on his behalf. I will go and tell him the good news now."
After saying that, Li Dazhi got up and quickly went out to announce the good news. Of course he had reasons to be happy, because now he and Jiang Xiaobai were both wearing the same pair of pants.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this. This guy really has no meeting discipline.
This made Chen Feng very dissatisfied. Now that the company is beginning to become more formalized, Li Dazhi seems not to be aware of this yet. He is still going his own way as before in the Caotai team.
"Remember this. From now on, Li Dazhi is not qualified to attend the company's high-level meetings." Chen Feng said to Su Qian with a straight face.
Su Qian helplessly spread her hands and said: "Boss, you also know his bad temper. What's more, he is still your apprentice and has a special status. Without your personal order, it is really difficult for others to drive him away."
The corner of Chen Feng's mouth twitched. He was also stupid at first because this guy helped him find a job as a resident singer in a bar and also allowed him to obtain the guitar proficiency skills given by the system, so he became his teacher in a daze.
"You just need to inform him. Unless there are special circumstances in the future, he will not come to the company's high-level meetings. One hundred yuan will be deducted from his salary."
When Su Qian heard this, she couldn't help but said happily: "That's great. With your words, he will definitely not dare to come over and participate in it."
Several people couldn't help laughing again. The atmosphere of the meeting was quite good.
After all, Summit Entertainment is still just a start-up, and the boss, Chen Feng, is too young and has no sense of authority at all. Everyone was in a relaxed mood during the meeting.
"Next, let's talk about supporting roles. I plan to ask Hu Fei to play Yang Kang. What do you think?"
Everyone was shocked. Su Qian clapped her hands and said: "If Hu Fei plays Yang Kang, that would be really amazing. But he is the best actor, will he agree to come and win the supporting role in the TV series?"
Liu Gan also said: "Yes. Although Hu Fei has filmed many TV series before, he has only made movies in the past few years. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to ask him to come back to act in TV series now and also play a supporting role?" Chen Feng explained Said: "The character Yang Kang is the most important supporting role in this drama. He is charming and suave. Although he considers a thief as his father, it is excusable and makes people unable to hate him. The ending is even more miserable, but makes people feel heartfelt. I feel sympathy in my heart. This role is actually very lovable. If you play it well, you may even outshine the protagonist. I believe that as long as Hu Fei has read the script, he will not reject playing this role."
Li Kai nodded and said: "The character Yang Kang is a tragic and evil character, but it is really difficult for people to really hate him. Hu Fei has been working hard to transform in the past few years and change the public's perception of his previous decent character. The stereotype has been finalized. In the past two years, he has actually played supporting roles for others, and they have always been more villainous. If ours was not a TV series, this Yang Kang would have been tailor-made for him."
Fan Dongping said: "Then let's send him an invitation first. If you are interested, you can give him the script to read."
"Then it's settled. In addition, I have given the role of Mu Nianci to Liu Qinfei in exchange for her favor."
Su Qian smiled and said: "Boss, you must be saying the opposite. Liu Qinfei is now one of the top four actresses in China. She condescends to play a supporting role in one of your TV series. It must be because you owe her a favor."
Obviously Su Qian felt that Liu Qinfei was condescending, and of course she had no objection.
…
This Condor Shooting Preparatory Meeting is held for the first time. The main purpose is to finalize the general matters and then proceed step by step.
After this meeting, Chen Feng called Hu Fei immediately.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Chen Feng asked directly: "Brother Hu, you should also know that I am currently preparing a TV series, a martial arts drama, and I plan to ask you to play the second male lead in it. If you are interested. If so, I can send you the script."
Hu Fei originally thought that he invited him to be the leading actor. But when he heard about the second male lead, the gap was really big. If Chen Feng's current status was not ordinary, he would definitely get angry at this moment. According to his current status in China How can a celebrity in the film and television industry possibly play the second male lead in a TV series?
Only Chen Feng, the creator of the highest box office record for domestic films, has the qualifications and courage to extend such an invitation to him.
"Then you give me the script to read first. I can make a decision only after I read it." Hu Fei said in a relatively calm tone.
"Okay. Just give me an email address and I'll send it to you right away."
The script of "The Condor Shooting" has already been filed, and at this time Chen Feng doesn't mind sending it directly to others electronically.
After all, it is a script by Chen Feng, the most popular director. Even though it is a TV series, Hu Fei is still more interested. Besides, out of politeness, Hu Fei has to read it as soon as possible and then give Chen Feng a reply.
At first, Hu Fei read it quite casually, but after skipping the beginning and writing about Guo Jing, his mind was drawn in.
This is just a script with no modifiers, not a novel. This shows the appeal of "The Condor" to the public.
