Chapter 932 Audition; the little steel cannon fires, and the scolding war begins!
Early in the morning, the film industry saw a very annoying piece of film and television news;
Hollywood imported blockbuster, the seventh installment of Lucasfilm's "Star Wars" series, "The Originals" "The Power Awakens", airborne on January 9th, added to the Lunar New Year slot!
For a time, China Film became the target of public criticism and was criticized by the entire film industry. It did not do many good things, but it was easy to do bad things.
Even Lin Nan had to admit that the pressure doubled instantly, but it didn’t matter because it was still within his acceptable range;
It's nothing more than continuing to increase the promotion and distribution of "Detective Chinatown". Fortunately, there are still ten days left.
Nortel, School of Acting.
Since the casting announcement of Hongxingwu was released yesterday afternoon, only one night has passed, and it has already spread throughout the circle, causing a stir, and no one knows about it.
Although Liu Yifei had previously said in the promotional activities of "Detective Chinatown" that some actors would be selected from the three major institutions, and the institution also hinted that there would be quotas;
But when the current students actually saw the words "Art School" clearly written in the casting announcement, everyone was completely relieved.
Next, it’s up to everyone to depend on their abilities and their own fate!
Since the morning, a large number of students from the acting academy have been working on audition resumes, and they are also repeatedly considering and revising the ones they have made before.
There are even teachers from the acting department who will provide guidance on how to make a more "conspicuous" audition resume.
After all, the resumes of current students are basically mediocre, almost none.
The outside news has also spread. Among the people responsible for the audition this time, there is a senior TV drama producer in the industry: Jiang Yuerou!
Therefore, the audition resume must be formal, rigorous, and able to leave an "impression" on people.
“This is one of the few dramas in the industry that is recognized as a hit before it even starts, and almost no one in the industry questions this view;
Because it is produced by Lin Nan Pictures Scripts, filming and post-production. But this also means that the competition for roles will be extremely fierce.
Our acting department’s consistent style is to become famous early, and this has been proven to be true. Good resources in the industry are rarely open to current students, and I hope you will pay attention to them.”
In the lecture theater, the Grade 13 instructor of the Performance Department was talking to the four-year undergraduates and a few higher vocational students who came here today. The students in the class were very serious and earnest in their instructions.
All the students present were bright-eyed and eager to try.
“…I would also like to remind you that your opponents are Chinese opera and Shangxi opera, so don’t take it lightly.
In addition, all students with acting resumes should cherish the opportunity as much as possible. Your success The rate will be higher than others..."
"Hey, did you hear that, the instructor is talking about you above?"
Meng Ziyi bumped Chen Yao with his elbow. His movements were carefree but his tone was sneaky.
The latter had a helpless smile on his face and looked at his deskmate, "Then, are you going to try?"
"I definitely have to try it, let's go together."
......
Similar to Nortel, many students here at China Theater are also submitting resumes for auditions.
“Although it is easy to offend people if you say this out loud, it doesn’t matter to us in school.
That is to say, Nortel directors are naturally close to our actors in Chinese dramas. Well, the director's wife is also close to Zhu Zhechi. "
The performance department teacher's "joke" immediately made everyone laugh.
"If you have an idea, just try it. Last month, Director Lin and Producer Liu came to the school to promote the school. As for the classmate who introduced himself when asking questions, you have an advantage this time and have already made a good impression. "
The department leader smiled and joked on the side, and many students immediately looked at a girl with envy in their eyes.
Starting from the morning of the 21st, Audition resumes flooded into Red Star Pit like a swarm of swarms by mail or mail;
Letters of audition invitations were also sent out from Hongxingwu and sent to the agencies or agents of the dozen male actors selected by Jiang Yueren and the Hongxingwu team.
The casting and audition work for the TV series "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" has officially started.
......
Online, the publicity war between "Lao Pao Er" and "Bad Angel" is becoming more and more fierce;
There is already a conflict between fans and fans on both sides There are even hints of mutual attacks and online violence...but overall, "Lao Pao'er" has the upper hand.
After all, when it comes to fans, Huayi has two traffic stars, commonly known as little fresh meat!
The craziness of their fans is simply astonishing. Their words and deeds are just like those "little yellow hairs" who voluntarily dropped out of school before completing nine years of compulsory education.
"As of yesterday, the 22nd, the total box office of "The Secret of the Dragon" has reached 1.948 billion, just shy of 2 billion, but yesterday's daily revenue... was 12.08 million."
Lin Nan understands why Yue Jun's tone is getting lower and lower, because including today, there are only 5 days left for the release of "The Secret of the Dragon"; the total box office of 2 billion is a bit dangerous!
“As I said before, just do your best to obey fate.”
Lin Nan was also helpless. The superiors refused to grant an extension, which made everyone fearful. Wang Changtian scolded him the most.
Because...for example, although the difference between 1.99 billion and 2 billion is only 10 million, the stimulation to the stock price is much different. The latter can even make the light red longer. Out twice.
"By the way, Director Jiang hasn't been back for the past two days?" Lin Nan raised his head and asked.
"Well, at most I'll come back to pick up some things, and I'll spend the rest of the time at Red Star Wood. I heard that the number of people who submitted audition resumes is outrageous, haha..."
Lin Nan Hearing this, he smiled and nodded. Liu Yifei had "complained" in front of him yesterday, and looking at her resume gave her a headache.
After all, it has been publicly stated that current students will be used. According to the situation of the school, I am afraid that 9 and a half of the 10 students will come to try their luck, and the remaining half will also be urged to come and try.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Hongxingwu.
Jiang Yuerou and five people were quickly flipping through audition resumes. At the same time, the mailbox kept popping up, and people from other companies at the front desk also came to send resumes from time to time.
On the other hand, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were in the warm-colored office, browsing the audition personnel information that Jiang Yuerou and others had initially screened.
The delicate roses on the table and the life-size Winnie the Pooh beside it are very eye-catching.
"Auditions will start in the morning the day after tomorrow, and the starring list will be finalized in early January at the latest. Filming will start after the Spring Festival. Changchang, be prepared yourself."
Liu Yifei casually selected Qiao Zhenyu, Zhong Hanliang, Zhang Zhiyao, Huang Haibing, etc. The roster of more than ten people was put aside, and he looked at Shu Chang who was arranging roses there and reminded him.
"I know. Are those people who have been invited and confirmed to participate in the audition?"
"Who do you think will refuse? Although they are all supporting roles." Liu Yifei is quite arrogant. said.
"Okay, okay, don't show off, it's all for the sake of your great director. But don't mention it, the alternative lineup of male actors is really luxurious!"
< br>
Across a large cluster of roses, Shu Chang blinked at Liu Yifei. These actors would all be matching her.
"Am I showing off? Hehehe..."
Rolling her eyes, Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing.
“Well, you said you didn’t show off, how shameless.”
……
One person eats lunch alone, goes for a walk alone, and leads a team to do promotional activities alone.
After finishing the promotional interview, Lin Nan was going to leave, but Wang Changtian insisted on keeping him here for tea!
“I heard from Wanda that Big Pharaoh was very happy. He sang several songs at the annual meeting last night. It seems that Ye Ning is an executive who was praised and rewarded. He should have won a lot of annual awards. ..."
Wang Changtian teased, as if he wanted to call Ye Ning out to treat him.
As partners of Wanda, Lin Nan and Wang Changtian had both received invitations to Wanda’s annual meeting before, but neither of them went because they felt awkward.
"The total box office of the domestic film market this year is not low. As the largest theater chain, Wanda Cinema Line will definitely make a lot of money. In addition, the film company he is in charge of also makes a lot of box office profits, so he is naturally the target of key awards. "
Lin Nan nodded and agreed.
While Lin Nan and Wang Changtian were chatting, on the Wanda Cinema Line Company side, Ye Ning sent away the last cinema manager;
At this point, he and all the subordinates who should talk , it’s all over.
And there is only the last step left in his plan, which is to submit his resignation;
In addition to this, there is also only the last remaining shackle that binds him and the theater managers.
“There is a non-compete agreement!”
All middle and upper-level management of all Wanda’s companies have non-competition agreements; the higher the level, the more stringent the non-competition agreements they are burdened with. harsh.
But it doesn’t matter... Huayi will pay for them! Ye Ning's contract has been signed.
……
The time has finally come to the 24th, when Enlight’s “Bad Angel” and Huayi’s “Old Paoer” officially enter the Lunar New Year stalls.
“Produced by Huayi and directed by Guan Ru, starring Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng and others, the action blockbuster "Old Paoer" landed in theaters nationwide in the early morning..."
" Co-produced by Enlight Pictures and Deng Chao’s Orange Image, directed by Deng Chao, and starring the husband-and-wife team of Deng Chao and Sun Li, the absurd comedy romance film "Villain Angel" has been officially released!"
"Some media broke the news that a large number of Wu Yifan has been released! , fans of Li Yifeng have reserved the theater for their idol..."
"Director Feng Xiaogang posted several Weibo posts, calling on the audience and fans to go to the theater and support "Old Paoer"..."
< br>
Everyone in the industry knows that starting from today, "The Secret of the Dragon" will accelerate towards the end.
At this moment, it is still 40 million short of the 2 billion box office threshold, with only 4 days left!
Lin Nan didn't pay attention to that. As he said, at this point he could only resign himself to fate, and he continued to lead the team to promote "Detective Chinatown"!
Jiaxing.
When Yang Mi finally came back to rest for a long time, Zeng Jia told her a "good" thing.
"You said you asked the company's artists to submit their resumes for auditions at Hongxingwu?"
"Well, that's right, give it a try. If you're lucky, this is a good thing! When the time comes, we will contact you..."
"Then you are probably just daydreaming. If Jiang Yurou helps with the audition, she will be more likely to give our resources to the amateurs in the school than to us. The possibility of being an artist in the company is high.”
When it comes to other things, Yang Mi is not as good as Zeng Jia; but when it comes to her understanding of the two directors of Lin Nan Pictures, she thinks she is better than Zeng Jia. Jia has more say.
“Are you so sure?”
Zeng Jia had some objections. The artists signed by Jiaxing were all from colleges and universities, and they all had good looks. They fit the "taste" of costume mythological dramas.
“Didn’t you notice something? The roles announced by Hongxingwu for auditions are missing some of the core main roles!
In addition, she has made public promises before Opportunities will be given to current students in the future... Therefore, most of the supporting roles are reserved for open auditions;
As for the core protagonists and supporting roles, they are either pre-determined or auditioned by invitation. Our people Just don’t have any expectations.”
At this moment, Zeng Jia was stunned. In her opinion, Yang Mi shouldn't be so... so smart?
But why are you so witty every time when it comes to Lin Nan Pictures and Hongxingwu? Is there still a trace of "competitiveness" in your heart?
Looking at Zeng Jia's confused look, Yang Mi couldn't help but smile: "I'm just more concerned about who will be my opponent, so I paid more attention to the situation over there and thought about it. "
Hearing this, Zeng Jia nodded and smiled casually: "As I said, no matter who is starring in the drama, it is just a TV series, so just relax. Well, haha..."
At this point, Zeng Jia suddenly stopped and his smile faded.
"What's wrong, Jiajia?" Yang Mi asked doubtfully.
"Speaking of TV series, I just remembered it. You just come back today, let me tell you. I helped you take on four dramas, all next year..."
Hearing this, Yang Mi's face A trace of fatigue appeared unnaturally, but it passed away in an instant.
She nodded and said to Zeng Jia: "Well, I understand, just take it... Just remember to remind me to join the group." "Of course, I will remember it. You Let's take a look at the schedule later. I've rearranged it and added a lot of announcements..."
"Okay"
...
When the crew of "Detective Chinatown" was about to leave Beijing Dance Theater, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon;
Everyone was joking about Wang Baoqiang because of his film directorial debut "Big Bang" "Tianzhu" thing.
The shout of Director Wang made Wang Baoqiang smile; it’s just that his smile looked sincere and sincere, but it was just... a bit ugly!
Especially after watching a performance by a group of beauties at Beijing Dance Theatre, comparing it now, it seems that he is even more "unable to watch" than before.
"Everyone, the regular promotional activities of "Detective Chinatown" have officially ended today. See you at the premiere on the 28th."
Sitting in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz Business, Lin Nan, Wang Baoqiang, and Liu Haoran, Xiao Yang, Chen He, Zhang Zifeng and others waved goodbye.
"Director Lin, see you on the 28th."
"Director Lin, goodbye."
"Director Lin, see you later."
...
Lin Nan was sitting in the car flipping through her phone. Liu Yifei responded with a message. She, Shu Chang, Jiang Yuerou and others would be able to "get off work" around five o'clock in the afternoon.
Although there are still many audition resumes arriving at Hongxingwu, all preparations are in place; auditions will officially begin at nine o'clock tomorrow morning!
Director Lin Da thought for a while and then gave up the idea of sending a voice message. He should wait until Ms. Liu gets home and tell her in person. He can take time to calm her down tomorrow!
“Haha, is this already a curse?”
Lin Nan saw the lively scene on Weibo. The film reviews of "Bad Angel" and "Old Paoer" seemed a bit abnormal!
There are a large number of film review posts criticizing and criticizing each other. Their intentions are very naked, and "Old Paoer" still has the advantage.
"I have said it all, Deng Chao cannot be a director. After "The Breakup Master", he contributed another shitty movie, and even his acting skills are rubbish. It is not even as good as "The Breakup Master". Fanfan in "Lao Pao'er" is so unruly and handsome... much more natural than Deng Chao!"
"Sixth Master's Lao Pao'er is poor, but he is proud at heart; Wu Yifan's young master is also overbearing and unruly! , full of charm! Even the little Pao'er played by Li Yifeng is so devoted and his acting skills are vivid... "Old Pao'er" completely crushed "The Villain Angel"..."
"Good guy, "The Villain Angel" was originally It's just a popcorn comedy, whether it's clumsy or forced, it makes people laugh.
But what is "Old Paoer"? Talk about a group of gangsters who disobey management and show their loyalty at every turn? Still writing a battle letter? Still singled out? I think a severe crackdown is not enough! "
"A bad movie is a bad movie, a waste of money... "Bad Angel" is several times worse than "The Breakup Master"... Sun Li's performance is as exaggerated as she was in "The Legend of Mi Yue"! "
"Now everyone should know why Deng Chao's "Scorched Heart" lost to director Feng's "Old Paoer" in the competition for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor last month, right? ! Because even if Director Feng crosses other industries, his acting skills are still inferior to Deng Chao..."
...
Lin Nan scrolled through Weibo posts with a very playful expression.
< br>
He estimated that Wang Changtian was furious and furious at this moment, and Deng Chao was definitely not in a good mood.
Because even a fool can tell that something is wrong with online movie reviews! In the past, most of the negative reviews were unilateral, but this time 70% to 80% of the negative reviews are of a disapproving nature!
Well, just as I got home, Wang Changtian’s call came.
“I said to Mr. Wang, don’t even think about asking me to help on Weibo. How can I help on such a large scale? Can’t you see, others spent money! Let’s take a look at the box office performance on the first day tomorrow.”
“You’re really right, those two idiots from Hua Yi actually got me! It’s coming to my head... Let’s take a look tomorrow... If... you really take me..."
Lin Nan smiled and listened to Wang Changtian's harsh words filled with indignation... It was so interesting.
Hua Yi, Chairman’s Office.
At this moment, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang were having a small meeting together.
"The preparations for "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" are almost complete. I will join the cast after New Year's Day. Afterwards, Guan Fang will lead the rest of the crew to promote the show..."
Feng Xiaogang said with a smile on his face. Although the things on the Internet were done by the group, he also knew about them. He knew about the plans and plans at the beginning of the month.
"Well, it's better to turn it on early. Didn't you say you want to use it for prizes? You can slowly polish the movie."
Wang Zhonglei took over Feng Xiaogang's words, with the same facial makeup smile on his face, the company I'm really looking forward to the first-day box office of "Lao Pao Er" tomorrow.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Wang Zhongjun again: "We are only seven days away from "Detective Chinatown", do you want to do it after that?"
"Shame on him on Weibo Movie?”
Wang Zhonglei replied angrily, and then added:
"It's better not to do this, because you can't offend him! Just increase the intensity on the light side in the past few days... Try to confront Lin Nan Pictures head-on in a week..."
"Well, I understand, I will contact the person again soon and increase my efforts."
...
Liu Yifei came back wearing her "antique" down jacket, carrying her bag, and humming a tune. The mood was obviously very good.
"Lin Nan, I found that among the three major art schools, theater seems to be getting more and more... behind?!"
"How did you find out?"
Director Lin leaned on the sofa and asked with interest.
“It can be seen from the resumes of current students that Director Jiang also agrees with me.”
Take off your down jacket and throw it and your bag on the single sofa Liu Yifei walked over to Lin Nan and used her as a pillow.
A light body fragrance hit me, and it smelled very good.
"You are right. It can be seen from the annual art examination of the Department of Acting that Nortel is always the first choice of the vast majority of art candidates, and the first choice of the remaining few art candidates is China Theater; only these two Only those students who have no choice but to go to theater will go to theater.
Of course, except for those students who choose to go to theater because of their geographical location, but the number of students in this category is very small. ”
“ Yeah, that's reasonable, hehe... Director Lin, help me with the casting tomorrow, okay?"
A pair of arms wrapped around Lin Nan's neck, and he exhaled like blue, with a soft and waxy heart. Feeling a little itchy suddenly? !
“Okay, I don’t need to take the initiative to speak.”
"Ah? Come on, come on, offer to help..."
...
After a night of hard work, I feel refreshed.
At 7:30 in the morning on the 25th, a red Ferrari sped out; Liu Yifei was driving the car, and Lin Nan was napping in the passenger seat!
At this time, many RVs have been parked outside Hongxingwu;
But more people come by taxi or in the cars of agents or brokerage companies. Most of these audition actors are students or graduates who have just signed with a company.
"Lin Nan, your phone is ringing."
Liu Yifei woke up Lin Nan while driving the car.
"Huh? Oh! Brother Jiao, after waiting for you for so long, you finally have the result. Which one is it?"
"Director Lin, I hesitated for a long time. I think I can... …”
...
At 8:40 in the morning, under the focus of a large number of media reporters, artists, agents, and assistants, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei got out of the car;
The two of them got out of the car; Smiling and waving to everyone, he walked into Hongxingwu, but Jiang Yuerou and Shu Chang had already arrived early.
"Everyone, come in..."
A few minutes later, the employees of Hongxingwu came out to greet them. The actors who were notified of today's audition filed in immediately.
When the auditions for Hongxingwu are about to begin, film and television information is already being reported on the Internet.
Different from yesterday’s online film reviews where “The Old Man” “crushed” “The Old Man” in a discontinuous manner, the first-day box office results were completely opposite. It was “The Old Man” that “The Old Man” was He stepped hard under his feet!
"Produced by Huayi and directed by Guan Yu, starring Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, Zhang Hanyu, Xu Qing, Liu Hua, Bai Jugang and others, the Lunar New Year action drama "Old Paoer" hit the box office on the first day of its release. The revenue was 55 million, which was mediocre compared to expectations..."
"Controlled by Enlight Pictures, co-produced by Deng Chao's Orange Image, directed by Deng Chao, starring the husband-and-wife team of Deng Chao and Sun Li, it is a comedy love story The film "Bad Angel" grossed 153 million at the box office on its first day, three times more than "Old Man"..."
"The Lunar New Year blockbuster "The Secret of the Dragon" has been in theaters for 27 days, with a total box office of 19.66 billion, yesterday’s box office dropped to 8.3 million..."
"Exclusively produced by Hongxingwu Pictures, with Liu Yifei as the producer and Jiang Yuerou as the producer, the TV series "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" officially started auditions and casting this morning."
"According to the scene outside Hongxingwu According to media reports, most of the actors auditioning today are students from art academies such as Nortel, China Theater, Shanghai Opera, China Central Television, Beijing Dance Theater, etc. Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei came to the audition site in person... Actor Shu Chang also appeared in Hongxingwu..."
……
Hongxingwu, in the conference room.
Lin Nan is sitting on the edge. Today he is just here to hold off the battle; Shu Chang beside him is also here to join in the fun
Today's protagonists are Liu Yifei and Jiang Yanrou, who are sitting in the front seat.
“Let’s call this first, Song Yiren, a Grade 12 student in the Department of Performance at Nortel.”
After communicating with Liu Yifei, Jiang Yuerou ordered the assistant next to her.
Not long after, a short and cute girl came in. When she saw the people present, she was obviously a little frightened and nervous.
"Lin...Hello, Producer Liu, Director Jiang, and Director Lin."
"Don't be nervous, it's just an audition. This is your question, five minutes to prepare."
The assistant took the note from Jiang Yuerou again and gave it to Song Yiren.
......
When the auditions at Hongxingwu officially began, the film industry was in chaos. To be precise, the Internet exploded.
Feng Xiaogang, Director Feng Da, and Xiaogang Pao—directly fired at "Villain Angel" on Weibo in anger!
"...Chinese movies are hopeless. Rubbish audiences have created rubbish movies...No one resisted this kind of bad movie, but it became popular...just like "Bad Angel"..."
