Chapter 436: An old drama with a strong character(2/2)
Wang Kai's agent is his original agent.
Ever since Wang Kai became famous because of "The Pretender", Liu Shijie concentrated on managing the company and was not responsible for the agent's work. He found another agent for Wang Kai.
After Fang Xing acquired Huahuo Media, he asked Wang Kai if he wanted to return his agent.
Wang Kai said there was no need to change, so his agent stayed on.
Situations like this are very common among film crews.
It is common for actors to have other jobs and take time off to participate in activities.
Even if they don't ask for leave, the leading actors will have a few days of rest every month.
It is an actor's freedom to go out to pick up work during breaks.
Of course, if it is a strong production crew, it will be very objectionable to actors asking for leave.
If Ark Culture is responsible for arranging the actors' work, the actors will not be given other jobs during the time when the crew is starting production.
However, Huahuo Media was not originally part of Ark Culture.
Wang Kai is Huahuo Media's only profitable artist, and he has already taken on a lot of work.
All the work that can be pushed away has been pushed away. The rest cannot be pushed away and can only be completed intensively.
Qiao Yinghong has already said hello about this matter.
Because Qiao Yinghong was responsible for adjusting Wang Kai's work plan.
"Okay, I'll ask the crew to make arrangements and give you two days to come back as soon as you finish your work." Fang Xing agreed.
"No problem, I'll finish all the work in these two days." Wang Kai immediately nodded in agreement.
…
The crew continued filming that morning, and Wang Kai asked for leave and left the crew.
Although there is no role for Wang Kai in the two-day shooting plan, there are scenes where Wang Kai is needed to co-star.
However, acting does not necessarily have to be done by the actors themselves.
For example, a scene that only requires a back view can be completed with a stand-in.
If it is a long shot, you can also use a stand-in, and then blur the facial features through the lens.
This shooting method is often used in the filming of film and television dramas.
In these two days, we mainly filmed the scenes of "Concubine Jing". When "Prince Jing" was needed, a stunt double was used.
When "Prince Jing" was photographed, it was always from his back.
The few scenes that require full-face shots can be saved for reshoots after Wang Kai returns to the crew.
…
After Wang Kai left the crew, he went to shoot a commercial in the morning and a magazine cover in the afternoon.
At 5pm, I rushed to attend a brand promotion event.
This brand is the clothing endorsed by Wang Kai.
The event was scheduled a week in advance. In order to increase the popularity of the event, the brand publicized Wang Kaihui's participation in the event a week in advance.
Since Wang Kai has been at the center of the recent casting controversy in "Nirvana in Fire" and "Spring Night in the Furong Tent", entertainment reporters have been squatting outside the film and television base these days, just to get exclusive news about Wang Kai.
However, Wang Kai has always stayed in the crew and has never gone out.
As a result, entertainment reporters stayed on the scene for several days and couldn't take any photos.
This brand event was announced to be attended by Wang Kai, which immediately attracted many entertainment reporters and packed the venue.
Wang Kai participated in brand activities, signed the brand's clothes on the spot, and then gave them to the fans at the scene.
According to the brand's request, Wang Kai also sang a song.
The event lasted for two hours. At the end, the reporters at the scene requested that a reporter's question session be added.
Originally, the brand did not arrange this session, but all the live entertainment reporters asked for a question-and-answer session. The brand felt that it could increase the popularity of the event, so they agreed.
However, at the beginning of the question-and-answer session, the reporter's questions had nothing to do with the brand's clothing. They were all about Wang Kai's role change.
Exciting News Reporter: "Mr. Wang Kai, it is rumored that the crews of "Nirvana in Fire" and "Furong" are competing fiercely for you. Is this true?"
Wang Kai has participated in many activities in the past two years and has already had experience in answering reporters' questions: "I don't know where these rumors come from. I just read the script and take the role normally."
Exciting News Reporter: "So, have the crew of "Furong" approached you?"
Wang Kai was silent for a few seconds before replying: "The company has arranged an audition."
Provoking News Reporter: "So, you auditioned for "Furong", but in the end you let them go, is that right?"
Wang Kai knows that this question is very tricky. If the answer is not good, there may be a crisis of public opinion:
"From the time I started in the industry to today, I have auditioned for not one thousand but eight hundred crews. On average, I audition for one crew every day.
"If you let go after the audition, then the doves I let go can fill a square."
His answer was not a lie.
However, the period when there were a large number of auditions for the crew was before the filming of "The Pretender".
After filming "The Pretender", he became an instant hit. After that, the crew took the initiative to hand over the script to him, and auditions were rarely rejected.
However, after the audition, as long as there is no contract, there is no contractual relationship, so there is no such thing as letting go.
This situation is normal in the film and television industry, but the reporter's questions are too tricky. If you admit it directly, it will definitely be twisted into something else.
Agitated News Reporter: "Is it true that Ark Culture acquired Huahuo Media?"
Wang Kai responded with a smile: "I am just a contracted actor of Huahuo Media and do not participate in the management of the company. So I don't know about this matter."
Regarding the acquisition of Huahuo Media by Ark Culture, it is not a secret in the investment banking circle.
Huahuo Media has experienced very frequent personnel changes during this period. Employees who have resigned or changed jobs have spread the news throughout the city.
Exciting News Reporter: "There is a saying in the circle now that Fang Xing invested 50 million to buy your agency in order to snatch you away from Chen Wenhan. What do you think of this matter?"
This question completely pricked the fans' gossip soul.
Wang Kai was a little embarrassed. He glanced at the brand, but saw that the brand had no intention of coming to the rescue, so he had to reply: "I have never heard of this statement, and I am not that important. I am just a person who wants to act seriously.
Little actor."
Exciting News Reporter: "Mr. Wang Kai, so you have now joined the crew of "Nirvana in Fire", right?"
Finally encountered a more normal question, Wang Kai answered readily: "Yes, the filming of our new drama has started."
However, the reporter changed the subject and asked: "Then why didn't you take on "Furong" instead of "Nirvana in Fire"? Did capital ask you to make this decision, or was it your own decision?"
Wang Kai thought about it and replied seriously: "When I first got "Nirvana in Fire", I stayed up late to read the script. I liked the script very much. I am very happy to work with the Ark Culture crew again."
Agitated News Reporter: "That is to say, you think the script of "Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent" is not as good as the script of "Nirvana in Fire", is that right?"
Wang Kai's eyes widened and he realized that he had been tricked. He quickly denied it: "I didn't feel that way."
Just denying it is of no use.
That night, entertainment gossip broke out on the Internet:
[Wang Kai frankly said that he participated in "Nirvana in Fire" because the script of "Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent" was not as good as "Nirvana in Fire". ]
After this explosive news came out, entertainment reporters began to squat outside the crew of "Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent", preparing to dig up more entertainment gossip.
