Chapter 425 New Project, Ancient Costume Machiavellian Drama

The script of this costumed Machiavellian drama has been in the computer files for a long time, even earlier than "Horse".

At the beginning, "The Pretender" had just finished airing, and when I was preparing for a new project, I was considering this costumed conspiracy drama from the beginning, which would be able to use several of the leading actors from "The Pretender".

However, at that time, the task of anti-criminal drama happened to come, and if the anti-criminal drama was successfully filmed, it would receive a lot of official help.

So, I shot "Hurry Up" first.

Now that "Hurry Up" has finished airing for a while, it's time for new projects to be launched.

After it was confirmed that the new project would be a costume drama, Ark Culture released the news on its official WeChat account and began recruiting actors for auditions.

As soon as the news of Ark Culture's new drama came out, the entertainment industry was shocked.

Since the morning of that day, various investment and cooperation calls from Ark Culture have been bombarded with calls.

Gradually, it began to spread to all Ark Culture employees, and even private phone calls kept coming in.

These calls were all made by companies of all sizes in the entertainment industry, as well as celebrity agents, all hoping to contact the top management of Ark Culture and discuss cooperation.

There is no way, the current Ark culture is a Noah's Ark-level existence in the entertainment industry.

From "Wulin Gaiden" to "The Beginning", from "The Pretender" to "Hurry Up", he has made one hit after another, and he keeps breaking records.

At the same time, there are no competitors of the same type, so they compete with themselves.

What’s even more terrifying is that most of the actors who have participated in the Ark Culture film and television series have become popular.

Now there is a law in the entertainment industry. As long as you embrace the thigh of Ark Culture, even a pig can take off.

Therefore, as soon as Ark Culture’s new project was announced, almost all companies related to the film and television industry wanted to cooperate.

The film and television investment company even wanted to put money into Fang Xing's hands, hoping that Fang Xing could lead them to make money together.

If it were three years ago, when Ark Culture had just been established, and when the first movie "Wulin Gaiden" was being filmed, these film and television companies would have looked down upon a small company like Ark Culture at all.

Who would have thought that three years later, four hit TV series would directly make Ark Culture the anchor of the TV series industry.

Even though the new project being prepared this time has never been tried before, the film and television investment industry has inexplicable confidence in Ark Culture.

It can be said to be luck that a drama becomes popular by chance.

But having four hits in a row, and each one being a drama king, is impossible to achieve by luck.

Therefore, film and television companies in the industry want to invest in Ark Culture’s new projects.

If three years ago, these film and television investment companies wanted to invest in Ark Culture's projects, Fang Xing would not even have the power to refuse.

Because Ark Culture at that time was just a small company with no foundation.

However, at that time, no film and television investment company would have known that Ark Culture was rising so fast.

Therefore, when these film and television investment companies want to invest in the Ark cultural project, they are no longer able to invest if they want.

Ark Culture has a foothold in Ningyun, and the head of Ningyun personally handled the 2 billion project in the headquarters park.

After "Hurry Up", Ark Culture has already registered its name with a certain top department.

If the current entertainment industry giants want to influence Ark Culture, they will not be able to do so unless they can grasp the weak points of Ark Culture.

Of course, as the company grows bigger, the structure needs to be liberalized.

The territory of Ark Culture cannot always be the same size as it is now, so high-quality partners are essential.

Fang Xing plans to expand into the film and television industry in the future, so it is necessary to attract investment from film and television companies, form cooperative relationships, and even hold shares in some film and television companies.

…

At the same time as Ark Culture’s new drama project was being established.

The ancient puppets prepared by Chen Wenhan are progressing faster.

The investment for this ancient puppet was finalized two months ago, and the preliminary preparations have been completed.

If it hadn't happened at Dongyin's school celebration party, this project would have been launched long ago.

However, netizens’ interest comes and goes quickly.

Two weeks have passed and no one on the Internet has discussed his "killing of chickens".

Coupled with the deletion of posts and censorship of comments by online public relations companies, it is almost impossible to find any news about this matter now.

However, more than 8 million was spent on public relations, which can be said to be a huge hemorrhage.

Just because of a mistake, more than eight million yuan was spent to settle the matter.

After the incident calmed down, casting for the ancient puppet show "Warm Spring Evening in the Lotus Tent" led by Pengcheng Capital has begun.

Since ancient puppets are a popular subject nowadays, basically one or two popular ancient puppets will be released every quarter.

Moreover, this subject requires very low acting skills.

As long as the appearance matches the aesthetics of ancient puppet theater fans, you can act.

Therefore, even popular celebrities who have never studied acting can act.

Of course, according to the standard model of casting in the film and television industry in recent years.

Usually the male protagonist uses fresh meat, and then pairs it with a few veteran actors with good acting skills to slightly support the performance of the whole drama.

This model of old actors bringing popular celebrities has been proven many times to be the optimal solution.

Therefore, in the past two years, the salary of veteran actors has also increased a lot.

Liu Yicheng is a relatively well-known Mesozoic actor, also known as an old drama actor.

Liu Yicheng is exactly fifty years old this year and graduated from Kyoto Film Academy.

In terms of acting skills, he is indeed an actor with good acting skills.

He acted in many film and television dramas in his early years, some of which were quite well-known.

However, when he was young, he was not famous and could only be considered as doing well.

There are dramas to be filmed, but they rarely get to play major roles.

However, the year before last, after he passed middle age, he suddenly became popular.

Because he played the "Poisonous Bee" Wang Tianfeng in "The Pretender".

Most of the characters in the show "The Pretender" are popular.

Liu Yicheng plays a very important role as the "Poisonous Bee". He led the male protagonist "Mingtai" to become an agent, and finally completed the "Death Plan" with his life.

Therefore, after the character "Venomous Bee" became popular, he also became popular.

After becoming famous, his salary naturally increased, tripling in value.

Moreover, there are many film dates to negotiate.

In the past, given his status in the film and television industry, although there were films to film, there was usually not much room for choice. Being able to join a good crew was already very good, and there was basically no opportunity to choose roles.

However, since he participated in "The Pretender", his agent now has a lot of film contracts.

He has reached the point where he can choose scripts.

This time.

The S-level project "Spring Night in the Lotus Tent" started casting, and Liu Yicheng also received an audition invitation.

Moreover, the crew is planning to let him audition for this ancient puppet show. The father of the male protagonist is a general who has spent his life in the military, so he will have a lot of roles.

S-level investment, and a role with a lot of roles, this is a very good film appointment.

So his agent took it very seriously, communicated with the crew first, and then arranged for him to audition.

The audition process went smoothly.

After all, I graduated from the Kyoto Film Academy and have been working hard in the acting industry for thirty years. I need acting skills and fame.

It's completely enough to play the role of the hero's father.

Moreover, the ancient puppet show itself does not have high requirements for acting skills, so you can pass the audition just by performing casually.

The director of "Spring Night in the Furong Tent" is very satisfied with Liu Yicheng and has basically finalized the project. The only thing left is to sign the final contract.

only.

He had just finished auditioning for the role in "Spring Night in the Furong Tent". That night, he received a call from Zhang Yigao, saying that Ark Culture's new project, a costumed conspiracy drama, had a role suitable for him, and he wanted to meet and chat with him.

Liu Yicheng was a little surprised when he received this call: "Director Fang has a new movie?"

"Yes, just like in "The Pretender", Director Fang was with me." Zhang Yigao replied.

"Is Director Fang coming for dinner?" Liu Yicheng asked again.

"Of course, Director Fang asked me to make an appointment. Now the phone calls in the whole company are being buzzed. I will turn off my phone after making this call. The time and location will be sent to you later. You must come." Zhang Yigao said.

While he was on the phone, his phone rang with several more calls.
