Starlight Film and Television is now very strong, let alone shooting a movie and a TV series at the same time. Even if it shoots two more movies, it still has the capital to operate.
Of course, no film and television company in the world would be stupid enough to actually do this.
If you compete with yourself for a slot, you will only be the one who suffers in the end.
Xiao Qian kept his word and actually put the script in front of Chen Weizhou's team a week later.
A group of creative staff were extremely excited and gathered together to study the book heartily.
After watching it, everyone has only one feeling, that is, it is enjoyable.
Experienced film and television workers can form the desired picture in their minds just by looking at the script.
Although Xiao Qian made the changes to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" very magical, everyone has to admit that the movie will be better-looking if he changes it like this.
"There is news from Hengdian that the construction of Yuan and Song street scenes has begun. It is expected that the first phase of the project will be put into use in three months."
The producer responsible for the location also brought good news.
Hengdian currently has a strategic cooperation relationship with Starlight Film and Television, and Hengdian will give priority to any request from Starlight Film and Television.
The three-month period just matched the work progress of the crew.
"Then let's release the audition information to the outside world."
Chen Weizhou was a little surprised.
"There are many excellent actors in our company. Can't we digest them internally?"
Xiao Qian has naturally considered this issue.
"The existing actors in the company, regardless of gender, do not fit the image of Guo Jing and Huang Rong."
That's the good thing about Xiao Qian. He never blindly takes care of his own people. Especially in the choice of roles, he always seeks truth from facts.
If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't work.
Guo Jing is known to everyone for his simplicity, stubbornness, seriousness, and hard work.
Among the male actors in the company, Shen Jue, Chen Shuai, and Ren Quan are so handsome that they never look plain and simple no matter how they act.
Xu Tiezheng is not handsome, but he is bald.
Li Xiaohan is not handsome either, but Guo Jing is not said to be ugly in the book.
In addition, among the actors I am familiar with, Li Yushuang...
Commander, you'd better study your Italian cannon.
Before deciding to go to the national audition, Xiao Qian had already gone through the company's backup candidates, and there really was no suitable candidate.
Not only did Guo Jing not have the right one, Huang Rong didn't either.
Although Wen Yi, Li Bingbing and Selina have their own characteristics, they all do not match Huang Rong.
In this case, in order to ensure the quality of the play, auditions are the best way.
It just so happened that "Shaolin Temple" also had to conduct casting, so we decided to combine the two groups into one and do it together.
In the last month of 1997, the entire Chinese film and television industry was shaken up by Starlight Film and Television.
All practitioners have focused their attention on the Magic City and are eager to give it a try.
As an actor, who doesn't know that starring in Starlight Film and Television's works means gaining both fame and fortune. Although Starlight Film and Television refuses to pay high salaries, what can't you earn after becoming famous?
So, as long as the actors who were living a good life all over the country thought they had a chance, they all bought tickets to Shanghai and stayed in hotels near Starlight Film and Television.
There are also many CEOs of actor agencies who want to contact Xiao Qian, hoping to conduct internal transactions.
However, Xiao Qian blocked all contacts. His intention was very clear. If he wanted to appear, he had to rely on his ability.
As for the others, Xingguang doesn’t recognize them here.
It's true that after being rejected by Xiao Qian, some people went to look for other people in charge of Starlight Film and Television, but the result was the same.
Everyone cherishes the work in front of them and does not want to destroy their future. In addition, the final decision on the selection of actors only lies in Xiao Qian's hands.
All the moves have been exhausted and there is nothing else you can do. Everyone just needs to concentrate on studying the character.
Fortunately, everyone has watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so there is no clue as to where to start when preparing.
Since "The Legend of the Flying Fox", Xiao Qian's novels have begun to be adapted into films, so everyone knows the value of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Therefore, especially in the film and television circles, there are many people who have studied this novel.
At Starlight Film and Television, we don’t have any regulations on how to conduct auditions.
"A movie is a movie, and a TV series is a TV series. These are two completely different projects. So I suggest you choose them separately, so as not to cause unclear responsibilities."
Ning Han came out with a clear-cut stance and an arrogant attitude, as if he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and the TV drama department.
His words certainly aroused dissatisfaction among everyone in the TV drama department.
"Don't worry, we have our own sophisticated plan. This is Mr. Xiao's signature work, and it must not fall into our hands."
Although Shen Qing and Ning Han were brothers, they refused to give in.
Xiao Qian was keenly aware that there was a different trend in the film and TV drama departments.
It seems that it won’t be long before Starlight Film and Television will continue to be split up.
However, this is also a factor common to large group companies, which is that they are constantly split and split again, resulting in more and more branches.
In the end, there were so many that even the board of directors couldn’t remember them. Congratulations, you will have a place in the world’s top 500 companies.
"This time the auditions will be conducted in a unified manner and I will be personally responsible for them."
Seeing that the two sides were about to talk again, Xiao Qian got in front.
"This time we need to interview for at least hundreds of roles. Although everyone who signed up for the audition has submitted their information, what can you tell just by looking at the photos? Maybe they want to interview for this role, but in fact they are more suitable for other roles.
What about a character?”
When he said this, Ning Han and Shen Qing understood instantly.
When Xiao Qian makes film and television dramas, he always likes to take the interpretation of the characters into his own hands.
It doesn't matter what role others say they want to play or what role they can play.
He thinks you can act only if you can act.
Many people used to think he was too domineering, but his results over the years have proven that his arrangement is indeed the best choice.
"Yaoshou, there are so many people, and some of us are tired."
Xiao Qian laughed when he heard someone exclaimed.
"As long as you can create classic works with your own hands, what if you are tired? Go ahead and arrange the order of those who signed up. We will only interview one hundred and fifty people every day. Make it clear to these people in advance, if
If you really can’t afford to wait, we won’t delay them.”
Everyone quickly made arrangements and the casting process began.
It was precisely because of proper arrangements that there was no congestion at the entrance of Starlight Film and Television. The team of more than 100 people was in good order.
Everyone was led by the staff and pulled into a big room, where they found a place to sit.
Even though there are many people, the thieves are quiet.
Everyone is secretly observing others.
They are all here to participate in the audition, and the next step is the competitors. Get to know others, compare their strengths and weaknesses, and have a good idea.
But the more they observe, the more confused many people become.
For example, the bright-eyed little girl leaning against the wall is staring at one person. No matter how you look at it or imagine it, it is difficult to regard this person as your competitor.
He is between five and sixty years old, with loose orange skin and stubble on his face.
If such a person comes to interview Huang Rong...
Vomiting...I can't do it anymore...vomit first...
"What kind of interview is this? It's so weird."
However, no one could answer her question.
Just as I was confused, a staff member ran over and shouted: "No. 1."
The little girl jumped up quickly and followed the staff in a hurry.
Passed through a long corridor and entered another room.
The room is quite bright, but not very big. There is a long table lined up inside, and several people are sitting behind it.
The little girl recognized Xiao Qian, Ning Han and Chen Weizhou at a glance.
An industry giant and two top directors.
This interview lineup...
She was so frightened that her breathing slowed down for three beats.
When she came in, Xiao Qian and others were also observing her.
Oh, the little girl is nice, with a well-proportioned and slender figure, and a round face that is very pleasing to the eye. Especially when she smiles, she looks very festive and can make those who look at her feel good.
"Hello teachers, my name is Tao Hong, and I'm here to interview for the role of Huang Rong."
Small.
After introducing herself, Tao Hong waited for the assessment.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qian suddenly asked: "What do you think about bald heads?"
Tao Hong was stunned.
"Haha, it's good, it's cool."
Xiao Qian is direct.
"You can't play Huang Rong. You are beautiful, but not stunning. But there is a character in Shaolin Temple who matches you very well. Do you want to try it?"
Tao Hong was very depressed when she heard that she was not suitable for Huang Rong.
She likes Huang Rong, who is extremely smart, the most.
"Yeah? Shaolin Temple? Isn't that a movie?"
"Do you want to try it?"
Tao Hong nodded in confusion.
Although I lost a TV series, I gained a movie.
Shaolin Temple?
Isn't that a monk's temple?
As a girl, why does she appear in "Shaolin Temple"?
Suddenly, she thought of Xiao Qian's original question.
Could it be...
Let yourself play the role of a nun?
Tao Hong shuddered at the thought of being bald.
But I quickly encouraged myself, even if I became bald, I couldn’t miss this opportunity.
That's a Starlight movie, and the box office can exceed 100 million.
