Chapter 428 Prince Jing auditioned, the performance exceeded expectations(2/2)
The assistant director took the script and continued to read the lines as the emperor: "Do you know the poison of fire and cold? The body-burning flames, the bone-eroding cold, coupled with the unique snow scale insects in Meiling, make the poisoned person look completely different, and the loved ones will be completely different.
It’s hard for anyone to recognize it.”
Read the lines here.
Wang Kai once again showed an expression of shock and realization on his face, and turned to look at Fang Xing.
He looked at Fang Xing. The look in his eyes clearly indicated that the person in front of him was "Lin Shu", but he continued to deny it: "Such a ridiculous statement, my father believes it, but my son and I do not."
After the performance of this scene, Fang Xing gave a rare round of applause and praised: "It's very good. It's just you playing this role. It's better than expected."
Wang Kai quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Director Fang."
"There's no need to be so polite. It's settled. Just let the management team discuss the contract."
Fang Xing said, holding his shoulders, walked aside, and continued: "After I go back, I have to read the script carefully again and figure out the psychology of the character. We will start filming next month. You have a lot of roles, so basically
Follow the group the whole time.”
"Okay, okay." Wang Kai nodded hurriedly, feeling happy that the audition was so successful.
…
After all the actors who had been invited in the morning had auditioned, it was almost half past twelve.
The crew has already gone to prepare lunch.
Fang Xing looked at the assistant director and asked, "Are there any suitable resumes collected today?"
The assistant director handed over several resumes and said, "These are pretty good."
Fang Xing took it and casually opened it a few times. There were seven resumes in total, and then he said, "Are there any more?"
This assistant director has worked with Fang Xing on three dramas, so he knows Fang Xing’s habits very well.
When he screened actor resumes, he divided them into three categories.
Hearing Fang Xing ask this, he handed over a stack of resumes and said, "You can take a look at this stack, but they are all of extravagant quality."
Fang Xing took it and put it together with the previous seven copies, making about twenty or thirty copies, and said: "That's it. Call these people in, give each of them two lines, and let them try it out one by one.
Try it. After the test, we will eat and rest."
The assistant director agreed and went out with his resume to call names: "If you can read your name, come in with me. If you can't read your name, go back first. The audition in the morning is over. Wang Weixiang, Li Chunxiao, Liu Peng..."
…
Since Fang Xing had already decided to cast Wang Kai in "King Jing", the company's management team was very efficient and started negotiating contracts with Wang Kai's company in the afternoon.
Wang Kai's agency, Huahuo Media, is a small company with five or six 18th-tier artists, and the most profitable artist is Wang Kai.
In the entertainment industry, there are many small companies like Huahuo Media.
In many of these companies, the founders had some money in hand and met a few friends in the entertainment industry, so they started their business and signed up trainees.
There are some 18th-tier girl groups in the industry. The leader's family has some money, so he takes the money from his family to start a company, signs a few female artists, and forms a group to debut.
However, this kind of company basically makes no profit in the early stage, but it must continue to invest, rent venues for training, and pay wages to the members.
It would be fine if the group gained some fame, otherwise we would have to find money everywhere to support the company and the group.
Liu Shijie, the artist director of Huahuo Media, used to be the executive manager of another entertainment company and worked there for several years.
Later, he met a boss who had money and wanted to invest.
So Liu Shijie raised this investment, registered Huahuo Media, and then relied on his connections as an agent to start looking for new people to sign contracts in film and television bases and art schools.
He was lucky. Not long after he signed Wang Kai, Wang Kai passed the audition for "The Pretender" and became an instant hit.
After Huahuo Media became popular with Wang Kai, it made good profits and developed rapidly.
Moreover, after an artist becomes popular, it will be more convincing to use this artist as a brand to sign other potential newcomers.
Not only that, after Wang Kai becomes more popular, a lot of business resources, film and television resources will come to him.
Huahuo Media can allow Wang Kai to bundle the company’s newcomers to appear on programs and receive business deals.
Since Wang Kai became famous with "The Pretender", Liu Shijie, as the person who promoted him, also gained many connections in the entertainment industry.
…
Ark Culture's management team personally went to Huahuo Media to discuss Wang Kai's film contract.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Xing had just returned to the company after auditioning the actors invited today.
Just in time, Liu Yonghe, director of the agency team, came back to report: "Mr. Fang, we went to Huahuo Media in the afternoon to discuss Wang Kai's film contract, and we discussed a lot of details.
“The other party’s artist director was also okay, but in the end the contract was not signed. The other party’s artist director said that a meeting was needed to discuss the schedule.
"Although the other party's attitude is okay, based on my experience, if a small company like Huahuo Media wants to delay the contract, it will most likely not want to sign it. There should be other options."
Fang Xing knew the working ability of his agency director. Since he said that Huahuo Media was delaying the contract, there must be something wrong with it.
"Do you know what it is?" Fang Xing asked next.
Liu Yonghe nodded and replied: "We are also talking about Wang Kai in "Furong", and it is said that the salary is very high. I have dealt with Liu Shijie, the director of Huahuo Media, and he is very ambitious and likes to work hard."
Fang Xing thought about it and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. I'm very satisfied with Wang Kai's audition. You can handle it yourself. If you really can't negotiate, come back and report back."
"Okay, I understand." Liu Yonghe agreed and immediately turned around to work overtime.
When talking about actors and actresses, there is no need for the boss to take action personally, otherwise, what use would the people below do?
