The casting work this time was carried out in an office hall rented by the top media, which is also located in the most prosperous area of the city center, in order to make it easier for actors from outside to find a place.
As early as when he was a lieutenant colonel in the old K, Yang Can had served as an interviewer for many evaluations of members, but today he is not facing the evaluation of special forces, but to find the starring actor for his new play "The Good Wife" .
For example, they don’t look for actors on the street when they are preparing for a TV series. They observe whether passers-by are suitable to be actors. That’s a scout. How to choose a TV series has its own process. Yang Can Yang Yan has been asked to send the first episode of the script and the characters to the major domestic actor agencies, and to the relevant schools across the country, such as Beijing Film, China Light and Power Forum.
Those students in the performing arts school naturally need not say much. Almost everyone dreams of getting a role, except for those students who have already emerged in the performing arts circle and have signed contracts, such as studying Jing Tian at the Beijing Film Academy. She has been the heroine of the two films "My Beauty Boss" and "Warring States" before graduation. Those actors who have not found a way out will flock to the role of "color" with lines, let alone this time with the people Fairy Yang Xiuya cooperated.
And each agency will also make a series of measurements based on the plot, investment, producer, cast, etc. of the TV series, and then send its own actors to participate in the selection. If appropriate, they will sign a contract. If not, they will find the next one. opportunity.
In the context of the mainland, where there are so many actors and actresses, the competition for the selection of characters in good TV dramas is usually extremely fierce. There are usually dozens of supporting actors, or hundreds of choices. It is usually very rare to find a suitable role, have a certain acting skills, and have a suitable commission.
Everyone knows that Chen Daoming and Wang Zhiwen have good acting skills. Even if you have money, you have to look at the other party’s schedule. Besides, you have to pay for it. High-level actors usually have their own fixed cooperation company. If you want to be alone Inviting, the company you belong to will have many binding terms. For example, if a big name joins the crew, you must also sign the two newcomers who will change the company to serve as the main supporting roles and so on.
Although people outside the industry will think that there are many shady scenes in the entertainment industry, in fact, in the current era, the so-called shady scenes are very rare. After all, in the age of the development of online media, there are countless pairs of eyes supervising whatever you do. Whoever breaks the news, whether it is the director or the producer, will be in a desperate situation.
Achievement and reputation are very important to the director and the producer. If you use an unsuitable actor and cause your ratings to drop, or you are exposed to shady and notorious, then his career can come to an end. Mai Weijian is the best example.
A Hollywood-level director and editor, because of a bribery case, was removed from the American Producers Association. After returning to China, he was nestled in a remote village for the rest of his life due to the failure of a film plan. If Yang Can dug him out, he would never have been. There will be a day of turning over.
Now it’s no better than before. China shoots tens of thousands of TV series every year, and there are more than tens of thousands of TV series that have not been broadcast every year. With so many TV series, the audience’s appreciation level has long been high, let alone those young and shrewd younger generation audiences, even if they are. Those middle-aged and elderly "women" are not so easy to fool, no matter how much publicity, bad movies are bad movies.
The reason why the mainland TV circle has become so clear is of course not that everyone’s quality has become higher, but the current environment. If you want to pick up girls and find beautiful women, please go to various colleges and universities. The showbiz is here for filming, don’t follow Money can't make ends meet.
Of course, there are still relative unspoken rules. If two actors of similar strength compete for the same type of role, then it is possible to see who has more red envelopes. Many actors have paid money to act for a suitable protagonist. After all, if the play is good, the value of the added effect of fame is more than the value of the pay, but all this must be done in advance, no one will be stupid enough to smash their own photos.
Sitting on the judging stage, Yang Can is not worried about this problem now, and there is even more headache for him right now. On his left hand, Ma Yiyi and Yang Xiuya are sitting next door, really wanting to curse the staff of this arrangement.
An actor and an investor boss, if it’s because of something in your heart, this matter is not easy to handle, if the two are tit-for-tat, it’s all right. The strange thing is that Yang Xiuya and Ma Yiyi are talking and laughing like best friends. , I don't know how happy it is to stick, but this makes Yang Can feel the chill of his spine.
I remember that when I got into the nanny car in the morning, Yang Xiuya sniffed him and asked: "Why is it so fragrant?" The expression in her eyes floated over Ma Yiyi beside her. The atmosphere of the pair of eyes between the two of them was unusual. Yang Can wanted to use mind-reading to see if his mood was gone, and there were some things that he didn't know.
Before the start of the interview, the agents of each company came in to greet the interviewers one by one. This is a rule. Everyone in the circle pays attention to etiquette. The first step in doing things is to be a man. Greeting the crew is the most basic.
"Hello, Director Mai heard that you are back in the arena. It is really gratifying? This is the producer, right?" Several agents shook hands with Mai Zhaohui and looked at the big brother next to him who was in charge of lighting. .
"No, that person is my boss this time." Mai Zhaohui also laughed, turning his head to Yang Can and shrugging his shoulders, a little apologetic.
Yang Can is used to it. In the eyes of this group of people, I am afraid that he will be regarded as Yang Xiuya's bodyguard again. He just smiled.
"Wow, Boss Yang is so young and promising, and his girlfriend is so beautiful, is he also an actor?" A female agent guessed with an ambiguous smile.
"I'm also an investor." Ma Yiyi snorted. Today, she deliberately dressed up to attend, but she was mistaken for an actor. This made her a little uncomfortable. She always felt that she was a little bit better than Yang Xiuya. However, it feels that although the two have different tastes in Yang Can's opinion, in the eyes of women, Yang Xiuya is almost the endorsement of beauty, and it is difficult for others to compete with her.
Yang Cansheng was afraid that this topic would extend, so he quickly took out his cigarette and said to start, he finally finished dealing with the brokers who came to say hello. Alas, being a reporter is so tired, and accepting people's flattery is also a chore.
There are five main protagonists in the mainland version of "The Good Wife" this time. Among them, the heroines of Mayor Zheng Lin's ex-husband, Xu Da and Zheng Lin, are in the law firm’s boss Dai Yuping, and Mai Weijian has been found Suitable middle-aged actors are now available. There are many excellent actors in the mainland from 30 to 40. It is not too difficult. Yang Can has also seen that the energy is around 280, which is not bad.
Except for some supporting roles, the two most important roles selected today are the two roles. One is the boss of the female protagonist law firm, which is also the playboy type male protagonist Zeng Jun, and the other is the female investigator of the law firm. Member Xu Wei, Xu Wei's "sexuality" was originally a double "sexual" love, the mainland version was changed to a lesbian "sexual" love of the heroine secretly, the two roles of "sexuality" are very special.
If you want to find treasures in this kind of actor gold market, you can only rely on the eyes of the producers and directors without relying on others. You must know that once you sign a contract, it is extremely difficult to change actors.
Looking at Mai Weijian, Yang Xiuya, and Yang Can attentively flipping through the interviewer's information, several agents next to them were laughing and chatting.
"This is the first time I have seen such a young producer. This world has changed. Anyone with money can make a film."
"You can't say that. Others have invited Yang Xiuya, Mai Weijian, a big name, maybe the ability is much stronger than you and I imagined."
"A vase that has survived the scandal until now, plus a scammer. This combination is really good enough, eh Lao Liu, what level of actors do you bring?"
"What level? Of course it is the third line. The actor of 5000 in one episode, what good sex can I give them? Is it possible to count on me to give them Tony Leung? Hey, Yang Xiuya was so proud before, this time with this little money, She's not worthy of the cow dung..." All of them were smirking with comprehension, and they looked good at the show.
Fortunately, the first actor who came to the interview at this time finally appeared and ended the weird atmosphere in the room...
