"Ark Culture has re-auditioned the female lead? Do they want to use this as a bargaining chip to lower the price, or do they really want to choose another female lead?"

When the executives of Brilliant Entertainment learned that Ark Culture had begun to send out audition invitations for the heroines of new dramas, they became suspicious of this cooperation.

Wang Xingfa named Liu Shiying's agent and asked: "Are you still communicating with Ark Culture?"

The agent nodded and replied: "We are still communicating, but we are stuck on the terms of the contract. Ark Culture has very strict requirements on following the team throughout the entire process, and is unwilling to increase the proportion of studio shooting."

The director of the film and television production department of Brilliant Entertainment said, "I think Ark Culture is a negotiation strategy. It did not reject us, but continued to audition other actresses. This clearly wants us to submit."

In business cooperation, during the negotiation stage, who can take the initiative depends on who has more cards and who is more confident.

The trump card of Brilliant Entertainment is Liu Shiying.

With Liu Shiying's current ability to handle dramas, whatever she shoots becomes popular, and film and television companies are always begging her to take on dramas.

Ark Culture's card is its ability to produce film and television dramas. It has consistently produced high-level TV dramas, and every one of them is the king of dramas, and has swept all major award ceremonies.

Ark Culture has this kind of strength and will definitely be strong when talking about cooperation.

Moreover, this is a new drama project of Ark Culture. As the producer, it already has the initiative.

Liu Shiying's agent said a little angrily: "Actually, our request is not too much. We just want to shorten the time spent with the team. When filming, we will still shoot seriously."

Wang Xingfa looked at Liu Shiying and asked: "What do you think? Should you lower your requirements and accept a new drama from Ark Culture, or directly cooperate with Fanfan Entertainment and accept "Spring River Plumbing"?"

Liu Shiying frowned and said, "Actually, I think both scripts are good, but I don't know which one to choose."

The director of the film and television production department said: "Actually, if you exclude Fang Xing's support for the drama and look at the script alone, I think "Spring River Plumbing" is more suitable.

"After all, this script has a lot of female protagonists, unlike Ark Culture's script, which has fewer female protagonists.

“However, if Fang Xing is added to the mix, I will hesitate.

"After all, if you work with Fang Xing, you are more likely to win an award. If you hide the director's name, it will be easier to make a choice."

Wang Xingfa agreed: "This analysis makes sense. The cooperation with Ark Culture is based on Fang Xing's reputation.

"But the script they produced this time is really hard to say. Even if it has a good reputation, the ratings may not be good.

"Besides, we have no shortage of trophies for the time being. It would be better to stabilize the ratings of new dramas first, film more hit dramas, and then compete for awards in a few years."

Liu Shiying really thought both dramas were good. After hearing what Wang Xingfa said, she asked: "Mr. Wang, are you sure you want to take on "Spring River Plumbing"?"

Wang Xingfa said: "There is no rush to make a decision. We can discuss the cooperation with Fanfan Entertainment in depth on "Spring River Plumbing".

"Ark Culture can audition for heroines, and we can also talk about "Spring River Plumbing".

"Maybe Ark Culture will find out that we don't have to cooperate with them and immediately turn around and beg us."

After a meeting and discussion, Huihuang Entertainment decided to promote cooperation with Fanfan Entertainment and began to discuss the cooperation method for "Spring River Plumbing".

…

Fanfan Entertainment's project for "Spring River Plumbing" this time is, firstly, to complete the tasks of the superior department, and secondly, to establish a positive image of Zhu Yiting, paving the way for its future entry into the big screen.

Moreover, the investment in "Spring Plumbing" this time is relatively large, and it is a standard S project.

In order to praise Zhu Yiting, Fanfan Entertainment decided to look for a future lead this time.

Song Li, Deng Huiling, Chen Yumei, these TV queens, Fanfan Entertainment have tried to communicate with each other.

Among them, Song Li directly refused because her company is preparing a new drama, and with the speed at which she is filming dramas, she will not accept other scripts for two to three years.

Deng Huiling has received the script and is in the early stages of negotiation.

Chen Yumei was originally a movie actress. She made a TV series because of favors and won the Eagle Award for Best Actress.

However, Chen Yumei still pays more attention to the development on the big screen and easily refuses to accept TV series.

Therefore, Fanfan Entertainment’s current main target is Deng Huiling.

However, Deng Huiling had worked with a top celebrity before, and the process was not very pleasant, so she was a little cautious in this regard.

Of course, being cautious does not mean that there is no possibility of cooperation.

As long as you are willing to pay a premium and offer favorable terms, there is definitely a chance.

In addition to Deng Huiling, Liu Shiying is also one of Fanfan Entertainment's choices.

Moreover, Liu Shiying has just won the Gladiolus Award and is now in her most productive period for actresses, so she is highly loved by the audience.

Relatively speaking, the age difference between Liu Shiying and Zhu Yiting is not that big.

Therefore, Fanfan Entertainment is actually very satisfied with Liu Shiying, but there have been rumors that Liu Shiying wants to cooperate with Fang Xing, so they have not been able to negotiate.

When major film and television companies discuss cooperation, they contact multiple parties and then make the most beneficial choice.

This is a multi-party game process.

This is the case with Brilliant Entertainment, this is the case with Fanfan Entertainment, and the same is true with Ark Culture.

…

This time Ark Culture expanded the scope of auditions for heroines, and Fanfan Entertainment also received the news.

Fanfan Entertainment knew that the cooperation between Liu Shiying and Fang Xing might not go smoothly, so they immediately became active and offered more favorable conditions to Brilliant Entertainment.

Because Fanfan Entertainment has given me too much.

The two companies hit it off immediately, discussed the contract details for a week, and then signed the contract.

Liu Shiying is confirmed to star in "Spring River Water Warm", but there is no official announcement, but we will continue to wait and see the response of Ark Culture.

It was Wang Xingfa's decision not to make an official announcement, and he even asked senior executives who knew about it not to disclose it to the outside world.

Because after Liu Shiying took over the poverty alleviation drama "Spring River Water Warmth", it meant that she became a competitor with Ark Culture.

Both are poverty alleviation dramas, and in response to national advocacy, they will be broadcast as soon as possible in the second half of this year.

This means that the two dramas are likely to conflict in schedule.

Entertainment companies can cooperate with all their strength when cooperating, but when competing, any means can be used as long as it does not violate the law.

Therefore, Huihuang Entertainment hid the news that Liu Shiying had taken over the filming of "Spring River Water Warm", and the investment department continued to contact Ark Culture.

Keep hanging on to Ark Culture, slowing down the preparation progress of Ark Culture’s new drama.

If Ark Culture auditions other actresses just to keep the price down, then it’s considered a scam.

…

It's just that the actresses auditioned by Ark Culture are really auditioning.

Although Fang Xing said that the role in the new drama required high acting skills and was not suitable for Lin Yingxue, Lin Yingxue still asked for an audition.

Auditioning actors doesn't take much time.

Therefore, Fang Xing agreed to let her participate in the audition.

The audition invitations sent out this time were all concentrated on one day, and on average one person was auditioned every hour.

In addition to Lin Yingxue and Hot Roll Yi, Guan Shuxi is also here.

The first person to audition was Lin Yingxue.

After the audition, it was pretty much what Fang Xing expected.

After all, I have already worked with Lin Yingxue on three or four dramas, so I know her acting ability very well.

Lin Yingxue came from a professional background and has some acting skills, but she still lacks the proficiency because of her age.

However, Fang Xing gave her another choice: "A female supporting role? It's the role of Bai Maimiao, Principal Bai's daughter."

Lin Yingxue's audition for the female lead was unsuccessful, but when she thought of playing a supporting role, she didn't hesitate for long before she nodded and agreed: "Play!"

In fact.

She is already a quasi-first-line actress, and her market salary is upwards of 20 million.

With her popularity and reputation, she has several heroine scripts to choose from.

It's basically to the point where there's no need to play a supporting role.

However, Fang Xing's new drama this time has too many big names playing supporting roles.

Wu Zhikang, the king of Jin Peng, plays a supporting role, Yan Lan also plays a supporting role, and Wang Kai also plays a supporting role, and they are supporting roles with not too many roles.

Shi Didu plays a supporting role, and even when she plays a supporting role, she is considered a minor one among the supporting roles.

…

Later.

Accompanied by her manager Sister Dan, Hot Roll arrived at the Ark Culture headquarters in advance to wait for the audition.

Lin Yingxue came out of the audition activity room and saw Hota Yi. The two of them greeted warmly: "Hello."

Hot Roll Yi asked: "How was the audition? Is Director Fang as strict as the rumors say?"

Fang Xing's nickname of "Audition Yama" has been widely known in the industry.

Of course, everyone was just joking.

As long as you are an actor who has worked hard from the bottom, who has not auditioned dozens or hundreds of times but may not get a role?
