Chapter 399: Director Zuo, who is worth tens of billions
In late October, after about two weeks of casting work, all the roles were basically confirmed.
The main reason why the casting was completed in such a short time was that Zuo Le had already drafted the script before, and most of the protagonists and leading actors were selected early.
Some of the auxiliary and supporting roles selected for the actual audition are limited in number and importance, which undoubtedly greatly shortens the casting time. Otherwise, if the main and supporting roles were to be auditioned together, the amount of work would be doubled several times.
At around 5 pm on October 28, the crew’s official scarf, which had just been created not long ago, became a hot search topic.
The reason is that it released the cast list of the main cast, as well as the final makeup posters of the main cast.
Not to mention that the lingering warmth has not completely dissipated, just relying on Zuo Le's own influence, as his next new work, it received great attention from the outside world when the project was announced.
After that, Shanhe held auditions, and all kinds of gossip spread all over the place.
Today it is said that the male protagonist is Li Youbin, and the two old partners will join forces again, just like the previous ones, and they will kill the Golden Phoenix Award next year.
Tomorrow, Yan Fei and Mr. Zhou will come to Quancheng secretly, and Zuo Le will join forces with the two major movie queens, plus Shui Miaomiao, the most popular little girl, to create a national-level TV series.
Some people say that it is actually a comedy. Shen Teng, who has been highly praised this year, is the first male lead in the new drama. It is said that Zuo Le also plans to invite some comedy seniors to provide supporting roles, preparing to make Shen Teng a new generation of mainland humor masters.
Others say that Zuo Le directed and acted in it because he was tired of winning the Best Actor Award and wanted to win an actor award.
After that, he added in a serious way how the proprietress Tian Yan used many methods to suppress the female stars in the industry, snatched the role of the heroine, and successfully maintained her status as the main palace.
The short story was so well written that it had twists and turns and was thrilling. After reading it, Zuo Le was determined to recruit this talent to the Shanhe Screenwriting Department. He is definitely a good hand at writing palace fights and women's sex scenes...
These gossips and rumors circulating, whether true or false, have greatly confused the outside world.
As a result, the character list has become a mystery to many people, and everyone is waiting for Shanhe to officially announce the news.
And Shanhe didn't play any tricks, just put in the dry ingredients.
The male protagonist is Xiaobao Guo Jinfei.
Attached is the makeup poster. Guo Jinfei is wearing a casual suit and a round hood, and his smile is evil and naughty.
The second male lead is Shaozhuang Gu Xiaoge.
He had his hair slicked back, a shirt and long trousers, and stood on a rooftop with his pockets in his pockets. He had a tall and straight posture. He looked handsome.
This poster of Gu Xiaoge's makeup was also the most reposted and downloaded among the many posters. It even ranked at the top of the hot search list in the later period, which shows that he is a top-notch person in the country.
The heroine An Ningshui Miaomiao.
An Ning's poster deliberately did not follow the character's personality attributes, but made her look like she was in the "working status" of the beauty trap in the play.
Her eyes are innocent and charming, her figure is soft and alluring, combined with Shui Miaomiao's stunningly beautiful face, it's enough to cause a group of howling Taobao members to urinate and snatch each other's wives.
Protagonist Xing Dongdong Jiang Chao.
Protagonist Tuan Li Wei and Yuan Ye.
The main character is Tuan Tiantian Maotong.
Compared with the previous posters of these three characters, these three characters are relatively ordinary.
Jiang Chao looked proud and had two wallets and a mobile phone in his hands, showing Xing Dongdong's identity as a master thief.
Yuan Ye was wearing glasses and typing furiously on the computer. Behind him was a banner encouraging him to attend Huaqing University.
Tiantian was playing with a butterfly knife in a cool manner, with a sweet smile and a faint fox tattoo on her exposed forearm.
The best foreign aid, Mr. Bao’s second uncle.
Zhao Ning Wanqian, the first-generation leader of the team.
Allies Yao Shutong and Song Jia.
The male protagonist has an ambiguous relationship with the blind girl Zhang Jiajia.
Villain Boss Geng Xiaohui Zhang Ze.
The villain Haoran Wu Jing.
The second villain, Fan Min.
The villain is Bi Chenxi and Yin Li.
………
In addition to the protagonist group, the remaining important characters in the crew also received customized posters, so I won’t introduce them one by one here.
The official announcement of the starring line-up really shocked a lot of people. Everyone's first reaction was that Shanhe was going to be so big this time.
Almost two-thirds of the stars of Shanhe starred in this drama, plus a number of supporting and guest stars.
The cast is so strong that it can be called an all-star luxury cast.
Such a high-density star cast and Zuo Le, the number one director in the television field, have given the audience countless expectations.
After so many years, the employees of Shanhe Publicity Department have also figured out the psychology of some viewers.
So not long after the casting was confirmed, he made a "gaffe" in Bibo, saying that due to review reasons, it was very likely that it would not be broadcast on the TV platform and would be presented to everyone as an online drama.
A smart person can figure it out.
There were quite a few people in the audience, and they immediately understood the subtext of Shanhe, and were full of surprises.
The web drama is great, large in scale, interesting and exciting.
To be honest, Shanhe's TV series in recent years are basically within the main theme or review framework, and they rarely touch on some sensitive themes and genre dramas.
Although these Shanhe dramas are still classic and exciting, many people still look forward to Shu, hoping that Shanhe can make some "breakthroughs".
Although the outside world does not know the specific plot, Shanhe's current status and reputation cannot be moved to a TV platform, which shows how powerful the plot is.
The audience became more and more impatient. Some people ran to ask Zuo Le why he hadn't turned on the phone yet. They were anxious to catch up on the drama...
Also anxious are the major online video platforms, especially Qiguoguo and Kuyou. When they heard that there was a high possibility of it being launched as a web drama, they almost lost their nerve.
In the past, Shanhe dramas were supported by TV platforms, and various online data often crushed the TV dramas of the same period on their websites.
This time it comes with super high traffic popularity, coupled with the two major selling points of first broadcast on all platforms and exclusive broadcast, Penguin Video must be making crazy money.
The video website market is only so big in total, and the competition is unprecedentedly fierce. Penguin Video is making huge profits and further attracting and consolidating new and old users. This will be a big loss for both of them.
What worries the two websites most is whether Penguin Video and Shanhe will benefit from it and cooperate to launch more Shanhe web dramas in the future.
A film, no matter how popular it is, will ultimately have limited impact.
But if there are a dozen or so Shanhe web dramas, and they line up all year round to compete with them for traffic, then it’s no longer a joke...
In the past few years, the two companies have watched how Penguin Video used the Shanhe drama to beat their TV series at the same time, grab traffic users, and gradually grow and lead.
In the past, the main battlefield of Shanhe was still the TV platform. If Shanhe devoted its wholeheartedly to the online drama market, and with the help of Penguin, Kiwi and Kuyou really wouldn't have much confidence that they could compete with it.
So, in early November, the two websites secretly sent people to Quancheng and Shanhe to have secret talks, with only one goal.
At all costs, replace Penguin Video and Shanhe to reach a strategic cooperation...
However, Penguin Video is not stupid. It was prepared for this early. Not long after, the president of Penguin Video and several senior executives visited Shanhe in person to discuss the introduction of Penguin Video with Zuo Le.
Three days later, Penguin Video and Shanhe jointly announced that Penguin Video had obtained the exclusive broadcast rights for all platforms at a price of 1.89999 billion, setting a record for the highest price for a domestic TV series.
When the news came out, the outside world was immediately shocked!
Especially in the film and television industry, many people are dumbfounded. A TV series that has not yet been filmed has sold 1.9 billion. Is this a TV series or printing money...
Zuo Le became a god in one battle.
But it's different from before. In the past, it was all because of Zuo Le's artistic achievements, but this time it was his ability to make money.
Some well-known financial media have estimated Zuo Le's net worth, but since Shanhe is not a listed company, many things do not need to be announced to the outside world. The outside world can only make guesses based on some details of Shanhe.
The data may not be particularly accurate, but it will not be too far from the real situation.
Based on the market value of Shanhe shares and Zuo Le's exposed real estate, this financial media roughly estimated that Zuo Le's net worth is more than 20 billion, and it is not low but high.
With this net worth, he can compete with the richest man in Dongshan Province. In the entertainment industry, he can also be regarded as one of the top capitals.
The most terrifying thing is that Zuo Le is just in his early 30s this year, and it only took him less than 7 years to get to where he is today from being unknown.
At the age of 30, he has a net worth of tens of billions, a successful career, a prosperous career, a virtuous wife and filial son, and both parents...
Now Zuo Le is going to publish an autobiography, and the most appropriate title is.
