Chapter 427 Casting for "Nirvana in Fire"

Huahuo Media Company.

As a popular artist of Huahuo Media, Wang Kai has a full work schedule.

In the past six months, I can count the number of rest days on one hand.

Wang Kai is also very hard-working and willing to take on any job he can.

After all, in recent years, capital has promoted celebrities, who become famous quickly and become famous quickly.

Especially for someone like Wang Kai who became famous through one TV series, if he doesn't have a follow-up work with a good reputation, he may become a drama idol.

Therefore, when Wang Kai communicated with the company, his request was to accept as many scripts as possible and participate in as few business activities as possible.

This morning is Wang Kai’s work meeting to arrange work arrangements and itinerary for the next month.

Liu Shijie, the artist director of Huahuo, came to attend the meeting today and asked: "Ah Kai, have you read the script of "Furong"?"

Wang Kai was stunned for a moment and replied: "I have read part of it, but I haven't finished it yet."

Liu Shijie urged: "The crew of the "Furong" project is very good, and it is an S-level production, so we have to follow up on this project. You should read the script as soon as possible, and then contact the Furong crew for an audition."

Yesterday, the executive director and casting director of the Furong production team came to Liu Shijie and expressed their sincerity in inviting Wang Kai to participate in "A Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent", and the salary offered was very good.

That's why Liu Shijie came to attend today's work meeting.

This time, Wang Kai was asked to play the second male lead in "Spring Night in the Furong Tent" because the producer named him.

Generally speaking, for this kind of actor named by the producer or director, the audition is just a formality.

However, even if it is just going through the motions, there must be this procedure.

Only after the audition can the contract be officially signed, and then the crew will announce the cast.

Before signing a contract, everything is subject to change.

Wang Kai hesitated for a moment and then said loudly: "Mr. Liu, I personally prefer Ark Culture's new drama. The script is very good."

Liu Shijie did not object directly, but said: "You did become famous because of Fang Xing's "The Pretender", but Fang Xing is also famous for pressing the salary of the film. The salary offered by Ark Culture may not even be the same as that of "Furong"

Not even half of it."

"As long as the drama is a hit, the salary doesn't really matter." Wang Kai still wants to star in a drama that is a hit.

Moreover, if a drama becomes popular and the actors become popular, subsequent business activities will come like a flood.

In the entertainment industry, you are not afraid of not making money, but you are afraid of not being popular.

"The problem is that this time Ark Culture is filming a plot involving ancient costumes. It is very difficult for this kind of drama to become popular." Liu Shijie's understanding of the TV drama market is relatively accurate.

Before anyone knew whether a drama could be a hit, Liu Shijie came to this conclusion, which was actually right.

The genre of ancient costume intrigue is inherently difficult to shoot.

If the filming is not good, then the ratings and word-of-mouth will be lost.

Even if the photo was carefully taken, it may be due to word-of-mouth and not taken care of.

Because of the machinations of ancient costumes, they usually prefer historical dramas, and historical dramas are often dull.

In recent years, historical dramas have been produced, and some have good reputations, but even if they have good reputations, the ratings may not be high.

Because the audience for TV dramas now has a large proportion of female viewers.

This is also why costume idol dramas and dramas with female protagonists are so popular.

In recent years, ancient puppet dramas, sweet pet dramas, and heroine dramas are all golden themes, and they can be successful no matter how they are filmed.

These dramas all have a characteristic, they are relatively relaxed and enjoyable, and if the male and female protagonists sprinkle sugar, they can get good ratings and broadcast volume.

However, Ark Culture's new drama this time is "Ancient Costume Strategy", and it takes revenge as the main line.

This is completely contrary to the current trend of relaxed, sweet and pampering heroines.

"Ark Culture's dramas are still guaranteed." Wang Kai is very confident about this.

Liu Shijie did not deny it, and nodded in agreement: "Ark Culture only relies on its previous dramas to give people confidence. Just talking about their ancient costumes and machinations this time, the subject matter is not good.

"The question that needs to be considered now is, can Ark Culture really make every drama popular?"

The Huahuo Media management team present were all deep in thought.

This is indeed a more pragmatic question.

So far, Ark Culture has produced four TV series, each of which has become a hit.

However, in the film and television industry, even those well-known film and television drama production companies cannot guarantee that every drama will be popular.

Ark Culture has already had four popular dramas, which gives people a lot of confidence.

However, this time's costume conspiracy is a subject that Ark Culture has never been involved in. Will the successful experience in the past be useful? No one knows.

Liu Shijie paused and added: "I feel that Fang Xing has become a little distracted after filming "Hurry Up", and the themes he chose are further and further away from the market.

"Now we have two choices. Choosing Fang Xing's new drama is just a bet that it will be popular. If it doesn't become popular, it means the reputation is not good and the pay is not high.

""Warm Spring Nights in the Furong Tent" is different. The pay is high, and it is still the most popular ancient puppet.

"Moreover, the role given to you is the second male lead who is most popular among female audiences."

At this moment.

Wang Kai's agent interjected: "Is it possible to take on both dramas?"

"This won't work. The Furong crew made it clear that if you accept their script, you won't be able to accept Ark Culture's new drama." Liu Shijie shook his head.

Wang Kai thought about it and argued: "Actually, Director Fang just gave me the script, and I haven't participated in the audition yet. Otherwise, let me audition first and then think about it. If I fail the audition, there is no need to discuss this matter."

Liu Shijie emphasized: "The casting director of "Furong" clearly told me that their audition was just a formality and I would definitely pass."

In fact, he didn't say half a sentence. Gu Pu's requirements for acting skills are not that high. With Wang Kai's acting experience, he can easily control it.

Wang Kai nodded and argued: "I still want to audition for Fang Xing's role first."

In the past year, Wang Kai has been one of Huahuo Media's most profitable artists.

Although Wang Kai has only been popular for a short time and has insufficient qualifications, Huahuo Media is still willing to listen to his appeal.

Liu Shijie nodded and agreed: "That's okay, let's discuss it after the audition."

…

The time has come to the end of July.

Casting for Ark Culture's new drama has officially begun.

Since there are many roles in this new drama, Fang Xing hopes to choose actors with good acting skills.

In terms of appearance, the requirements are not that high.

When Fang Xing chooses actors, he always looks for actors who fit the character's image, rather than looking for a vase.

The first day of auditions.

The morning was scheduled for auditions for several major roles.

For these important roles, the crew proactively contacted them and invited them to audition.

Generally speaking, actors who are invited to audition by the crew meet the director's expectations in terms of image, acting skills, etc., and the chance of passing the audition is relatively high.

Among the actors invited to audition this morning, there are actors from "The Pretender".

Especially Wang Kai, who is the highlight of today's audition.

The role that Fang Xing wanted him to play was Prince Jing "Jamie Xiao".

Wang Kai's role as "Ming Cheng" in "The Pretender" was very successful.

Fang Xing recognized his acting skills.

However, "The Pretender" is a spy drama, and this new drama is a costume drama. There is a big difference between the two.

In the film and television industry, some actors are only suitable for acting in certain types of TV series.

If you change the look or the theme, you may not be able to perform well.

Therefore, even if Fang Xing takes the initiative to invite Wang Kai to audition, he will have to look at the results of the audition before deciding whether to use him or not.

and.

In the actor circle, the rumors about the strict auditions of Ark Culture have long been known to everyone.

Especially during the casting process for "Cyclone", all the actors who were eliminated formed a camp.

Facts have also proven that this strict audition requirement has very obvious effects.

The record-breaking broadcast performance of "Hurry Up" has proved this point.

Also because "Hurry Up" is so fierce.
