Chapter 642: Going through the back door
“Is there anything else?”
Yang Liwen hesitated.
“Director Zheng Weiwen has taken over the project of [Chen Qing Ling] and is currently making preparations for the crew and selecting actors.
He has already met the leading actor Xiao Zhan.”< br>
"Oh? What's Director Zheng's impression of Xiao Zhan?" Gu Wei asked with interest.
After all, it was the male lead decided by the management without the director’s consent.
But with Xiao Zhan’s image, I believe Zheng Weiwen will not have any problems.
“After meeting, Xiao Zhan did a fitting.
Director Zheng was quite satisfied and felt that the other person’s image and temperament were more in line with Wei Wuxian in the original work.
Just"
"What is it? "
"There was a slight problem with the choice of the other male protagonist, Lan Wangji.
According to your instructions, our company, as well as [Jiaxing] and [Wow], all male actors with suitable age and schedule have been notified to audition.
But there seems to be nothing suitable inside.
Director Zheng Weiwen contacted the company before, hoping to send invitations to some other young actors in the entertainment industry to audition."
Gu Wei touched his chin.
"That's it
Li Xian, Zhang Binbin, and Zhang Yunrong can’t do it, right?
And I remember that there are quite a few people in the boy band of [Wanjiajiwa].”
"Li Xian, Zhang Binbin and others have no sense of CP in terms of image compared to Xiao Zhan. As for the acting skills of those in the boy band, they are really limited."
"Then just listen to the director and look at the role of "Lan Wangji" What kind of actor will he choose?
But the bottom line is that if the audition is successful, you must communicate with the artist as soon as possible whether you are willing to sign with our company
The original agency. We can help communicate there, and even pay the liquidated damages for him.
If he doesn't want to, he can't use it even if it's suitable.
This is the bottom line!
Just tell the truth to Director Zheng, I believe he will understand.”
[Chen Qing Ling] is not an ordinary resource. At this stage, no one except Gu Wei knows about this film. Danmei dramas will explode like this in the future, and they will win two top-tier dramas.
As an online drama without any big stars, [Wei Ming Xia] cannot make much money in terms of selling price.
It all depends on the two top stars who became popular in the later period.
Gu Wei will never give up the revenue of 1 billion yuan in three years to others. This is not a small number. The revenue brought by a top-notch company is even more than that of an ordinary listed company.
Even if there is no suitable one in the end, he will not give an advantage to outsiders if he decides within his own company.
"I'll go and communicate with Director Zheng later. It shouldn't be a problem."
Yang Liwen nodded. She already knew what the boss meant, and things would be easier to handle.
It doesn’t matter who you choose. What matters is that the person you choose is your own talent.
According to the characters in "Chen Qing Ling", there is a high probability that "Lan Wangji" will not be a popular star. Like Xiao Zhan, he is probably a small star outside the fourth or fifth tier.
She believes that with [Wei Ming Xia]'s current fame and strength, it is unlikely that such a small artist will refuse the olive branch extended by the company.
After two days of returning to the capital and causing a stir, Gu Weifei returned to Yunnan to continue filming [Si Teng].
A few days later, Zhu Xudan finished filming his last scene and left the group.
Everyone held a small finalizing ceremony for her, and prepared a small finalizing banquet in the evening.
After all, she is the second female lead in a TV series, and she is also considered an artist under her own banner, so she still has to have the cards she deserves.
“Sister Tiantian, I really can’t bear to leave you.
If the company hadn’t arranged other work for me, I would have really wanted to stay with you on the set until the filming was completed.”
< br>Zhu Xudan looked at Jingtian, and then secretly glanced at Gu Wei next to him, with a look of reluctance.
"Work is important, and we may not have a chance to cooperate again in the future." Da Tiantian took Zhu Xudan's hand and comforted her warmly.
After spending more than a month together, she also liked the somewhat innocent Zhu Xudan, and felt that she was more similar to herself in some aspects.
"Mr. Gu, I'm leaving then. Don't forget me if you find a suitable role later."
Gu Wei smiled and nodded.
After Zhu Xudan left, the crew also entered the second half of filming.
After the initial acquaintance between Qin Fang and Si Teng, and their subsequent acquaintance, the relationship became closer and closer, and some feelings that everyone knew were spreading crazily in the dark.
The relationship between the two was officially revealed after the scene in the evening.
"What are you doing? You are getting more and more courageous." Qin Fang took Si Teng to the cinema to watch [Avatar]. Halfway through the movie, he suddenly took Si Teng's hand and walked out.
The two of them came under the banyan tree in the small square outside. Da Tiantian threw down Gu Wei's hand and said dissatisfiedly.
"Siteng, what I want to say is, I can." Gu Wei looked into Jingtian's eyes with a serious look on his face.
“Can you?”
"Whether it's a human, an alien, an alien, or an Avatar.
Siteng, as long as it's you, I can do it." After watching "Avatar" in which humans and aliens fall in love, Qin Fang Finally, I couldn't control my feelings and wanted to confess to Si Teng.
"What can you do?" Si Teng didn't think too much at this time and didn't understand what Qin Fang meant.
“You are no longer alone along the way.
I can do many things with you.
When I promised you before, I can do everything. This is my promise.
But I don’t want you to merge with Bai Ying, I don’t want you to become another you.
What I like is you in front of me! "Gu Wei did not hesitate, expressed his emotions loudly and directly.
"What did you say? "Jingtian's expression was slightly surprised, but more of it was the emotion he felt after being confessed by Gu Wei.
"I said, I hope you and I can truly become one.
Si Teng, I like you! ”
The words ended, and the two people didn’t move. They just looked at each other and maintained this posture.
The camera slowly circled around the two people, which is also more traditional in idol dramas. In the camera mode, the male and female protagonists will shoot 360 degrees on important occasions, so as to appear romantic.
In the script, a small white flower will bloom on Si Teng's head in this scene. Her body is a vine, which will happen when she is emotional
And the big tree above the two of them will also bloom small white flowers under the control of the demonic power of the vine, and the petals will fall like rain, which is romantic. Exception.
Of course, these need to be added later when doing special effects.
"Ka! Very good, this part is over!"
The director's voice came, and the last scene of the day was filmed.
Jingtian finally no longer had to control his expression and showed a big smile.
Actually, the two of them have filmed this scene several times, but they were all retaken because of the sweet smile or the wrong expression.
"Are you happy after hearing your confession so many times?" As the staff at the venue packed up their things, Gu Wei looked at Jingtian and raised his eyebrows.
"What? I was just in a bad state just now and didn't understand Si Teng's psychology correctly. I just adjusted it a few times and it was fine. It's not like what you said." Da Tiantian definitely didn't say that. admit.
In the hotel room at night. Jingtian was wearing a light yellow nightgown and leaning on the sofa.
Her black hair is tied up, and her beautiful face has not been put on makeup. It looks like she has washed herself, but with her sweet foundation, she looks particularly good even without makeup. There is a lovely and pure beauty.
She was holding a plate of green grapes in her hand, eating one from time to time, and looking at the TV. It was obvious that the program inside was very attractive to her.
Gu Wei walked out of the bathroom. After taking a shower, he also changed into comfortable pajamas, walked over and sat next to Jing Tian.
Da Tiantian noticed Gu Wei’s arrival and unceremoniously put a pair of big white legs on him.
"Ah..." Then he took off a grape to signal him to open his mouth.
Gu Wei put his arm around Jingtian's slim waist and ate the fruit he fed.
"Is it sweet?"
"Just so so"
"How could it be, I was eating something that was obviously very sweet." Jingtian ate another one himself.
Gu Wei gently pinched her little nose.
“Because it’s sweet, you are sweeter”
"I hate it." Da Tiantian smiled and patted Gu Wei's hand away.
"What are you watching?" Gu Wei put one hand around Jingtian's slender waist and the other on his fair and tender legs, looking at the TV opposite the sofa.
"A new variety show from Tengxun Video, which is very popular recently." Jingtian turned to look at the TV, and at the same time did not forget to feed Gu Wei some fruit.
It is now 2018, and online TV is developing particularly rapidly.
As early as two years ago, Southern New Media Development Co., Ltd. cooperated with Tengxun Video to launch an Internet TV APP for living room smart TVs and set-top boxes - Cloud Audiovisual Aurora.
You can think of it as Tengxun Video on smart TVs. Everything you can watch on computers and mobile phones can also be watched on online TVs.
Jingtian is currently watching a variety show on Yun Audiovisual Aurora.
"[Creation 101]."
"You know?
Yes, you must know." Da Tiantian smiled and looked at Gu Wei.
"What do you mean?"
"In this filming, I was still wondering why the assistant you had before was replaced.
I originally thought it was just a normal personnel change in your team, until I I found out after watching [Produce 101] that your assistant actually became an artist and participated in a girl group talent show!
His name is Yang Chaoyue, right? I didn’t know it before, but I found out after watching the show. Looks familiar, I know it from the show."
"Can you remember the assistant next to me?" Gu Wei didn't expect Jingtian to recognize Yang Chaoyue.
"Why can't I remember? I always saw you bringing it with me when we had dinner together before. The little girl is quite pretty, I have an impression."
After finishing speaking, Da Tiantian looked at Gu Wei curiously. .
“What do you think, asking your assistant to participate in the women’s team audition?
Don’t tell me you don’t know, it was this little girl who had a dream of becoming a star, and then gave up her assistant I have already signed Yang Chaoyue to my company, and she is now an official artist," Gu Wei said calmly.
"What do you think? Although this little girl Yang Chaoyue is indeed pretty and has a good foundation, the span from a life assistant to a girl group is too big. How can you be confident that she will become popular?"
Although I had expected it before, Jingtian was still very surprised to hear Gu Wei say this.
It is easy to do the job of being a celebrity, but if it is not done well, some people will never be famous after working in it all their lives.
As Xiao Wang said in an interview with reporters before, colleges and universities with acting departments across the country can produce 100,000 fresh graduates every year, and even if only half of them are handsome men and beautiful women, there are still 50,000 students.
So in the entertainment industry, good looks are considered an advantage, but they cannot be considered a core advantage because there are too many good-looking people.
"Did Yang Chaoyue also graduate from a professional school before becoming your assistant?"
Gu Wei shook his head.
“I know what you mean. Not only is my former assistant not from a major, he didn’t even go to high school.
Before coming to my company, she was a female worker in a factory in her hometown. , her family conditions were not good, so she went out to work after graduating from junior high school.
Later, she came to Beijing to work hard. At that time, my company was recruiting assistants for artists, and she applied for the job without any academic qualifications.
>
Being able to become my life assistant in the end is a coincidence."
After hearing Gu Wei's words, Jingtian was even more surprised.
She originally thought that Yang Chaoyue was also from a major, but he didn't have much opportunity. I went to work as an assistant for Gu Wei, and after working for two years, I wanted to be an artist again.
I didn’t expect that the other person was actually a pure amateur.
“I originally watched the first episode. I still had hopes for this beautiful little girl, but now after listening to what you said, I feel like there is little hope for her to debut.”
"How is she doing?"
[Produce 101] The first episode was broadcast on April 21st, and today is the 28th, which is the second episode.
“It’s not very good. The initial rating of the 101st girl’s debut in the first issue is only C. Her singing and dancing skills are average, but she speaks quite honestly”
The first issue After all the contestants have performed in the first show, the judges will grade them into classes. The best will be in Class A and the worst will be in Class F.
Although Class C is in the middle, it will be impossible to debut if we maintain this score.
Gu Wei nodded, he was not surprised that Yang Chaoyue had such strength.
People have been trained in singing and dancing since childhood, and some also have other talents. She has been training for several months, and her talent is average. She is admitted to Class C because she is sincere and cute.
The two sat on the sofa and watched the second issue of [Produce 101] together.
In this period, the contestants were graded and classified for the second time through their respective performances.
Not only did Yang Chaoyue, who performed poorly, not be promoted, he was demoted from Class C to Class F.
After the variety show ended, Jingtian, who was already leaning on Gu Wei, raised his head slightly.
"It's over, your former assistant may be eliminated."
Gu Wei reached out and hugged Da Tiantian.
“Do you know what the ultimate goal of this program [Produce 101] is?”
“Select outstanding female group members and finally form a group to debut”
"That's right, if you want to debut, you should have a girl group company, similar to South Korea's SM Entertainment. Do you know what company they will sign to in the future?" Gu Wei asked again.
“I’ve never paid attention to this.
But this is a Tengxun Video program. There is a high probability that it will be signed to Penguin Film and Television, right?” Jingtian guessed.
“You are right. The 11-member girl group that will debut in the future will indeed be signed to Penguin Film and Television, but the operation of their team will be initiated by [Produce 101] and its partner [Wow Haw Wow] Do."
"[Wow, wow, wow]?
It's the entertainment company established by Mr. Long of Mango TV." Danni Long is very famous in the entertainment industry. She was the president of Tianyu Media and the person behind "Happy Girl".
"Yes, I also have some shares in [Wow], and I can talk to Tengxun." Gu Wei said with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Jingtian's eyes widened slightly. , looked at Gu Wei.
“Are you going to give Yang Chaoyue a back door? "
"It cannot be said that it is a back door. It is originally a project of our own company, so there is nothing wrong with praising our own artists.
But having said that, maybe I don’t need to do anything. The audience’s vote will ultimately determine the debut of this draft. Maybe Yang Chaoyue will be able to advance by herself based on her popularity with the audience."
Gu Wei spread his hands and said.
