Chapter 144 Preparation
"It's all the result of her hard work."

"Well, this girl really works hard on weekdays."

The two walked outside, and Manager Wang followed Zhang Yang: "I will arrange an agent for her immediately, and after the notice is issued, I will arrange for her to report to the crew."

"You can arrange this kind of trivial matter, and sign a new contract with her."

Xuanyu has formulated different levels of contracts for actors.

In terms of economics, the conditions of these contracts are very favorable to the actors. In terms of money and commission, Zhang Yang's offer is several percentage points higher than the industry's standard contracts.

Of course, these conditions are not static.

During the contract period, depending on the actor's own development, the salary and commission will also change accordingly. It is not always the same number, and it is not required to be allowed to change conditions until the expiration date.

However, the price is generally based on long-term contracts in terms of time, usually more than five to ten years, and the compensation for job-hopping and breach of contract is also very high.

After all, his plays are all big productions, and the investment is much larger than more than 90% of the outside plays, so it is easy to make an actor famous.

Impossible, Xuan Yu cultivated actors, and they were poached away in a short time. Isn't that capital enemy?

Zhang Yang will not let this happen.

"Also, there is something I want to tell you."

When he came to the door, Zhang Yang thought of the group of people he had just met, and raised his opinion.

"This group of newcomers are too ordinary, without distinctive characteristics, all of them are the kind of good-looking fresh meat actors. It's okay to play those vase roles, but it's not good for certain roles. This point needs to be changed. .”

"Tell those scouts that tall, short, fat, thin, men, women, old and young, you can find any suitable ones. Don't always stick to newcomers and good-looking ones. You should have all kinds of types."

"Take a long-term view and don't always stare at young people. After all, many talents are buried in the bottom. You need to have a pair of eyes to discover."

"Fan Leizhou is a very good example."

The three people in "Dragon Snake 1" are all buried talents. Tang Jing, Fan Leizhou, and Li Ang are all actors with their own characteristics, but they just lack opportunities.

Although the people in the training department are all good-looking, they are all the same. They have good looks, but they don't have the unique temperament that is enough for the audience to remember at a glance.

In the Longguo performing arts circle, there are tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of young people who invest in the performing arts every year. Most of them are similar to the young people in the training department, but there are very few young actors who can really make it out of it. Because they have no characteristics that are difficult for others to copy.

Compared with this type of actor, Fan Leizhou is what he needs most.

The two of them chatted, and then they got to the side of the car. Zhang Yang sat in the back row, opened the door and said to Manager Wang who was standing beside him, "You know Wang Bao, right? It was only after he came out that he reached his current position, and the unique temperament in him is something that many actors cannot perform."

Wang Bao is a very famous actor in Longguo now.

Although he is not handsome, and his appearance can even be said to be a bit ugly, Wang Bao has his own unique characteristics such as being a rural person, being honest, and having martial arts skills.

For many roles, only he can perform Shen Yun.

Like Mr. Shu, if they were replaced by people from the training department, they would definitely not be able to act.

"You can discuss with Mr. Lin and change the current mining strategy, you know?"

Zhang Yang did not reprimand, his tone was very calm, but Manager Wang was a little frightened.

A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Manager Wang's forehead, and he said cautiously: "I understand, we will have a meeting later to make rectifications."

"Well, that's fine, you go back."

the next few days.

With the help of dozens of screenwriters, Li Xiaoqiang quickly handed in a qualified script.

After all, the original novel is relatively short, and it does not clearly describe Li Hansha and some of his previous experiences, and few characters appear on the scene.

In this script, the roles of some supporting roles are appropriately strengthened, and the background of Li Hansha is described in a deeper level, which makes the whole play more substantial.

After Zhang Yang reviewed it, he felt that the script had passed the test and immediately began to form a crew.

There are thousands of people in Xuanyu, and there are various departments.

The basic staff structure of a crew can be prepared very quickly as long as there is a scene to film.

Lighting, camera, props, and makeup artists are all available. The only thing that is lacking is the talents in visual effects director and martial arts.

Although Peng Zulong has cooperated with Zhang Yang in every film, but he has Chen Jiaban behind him, and his master Chen Zihao. Zhang Yang invited him several times, but he did not join Xuanyu. He just promised that when Zhang Yang wanted to film, he would Group priority.

Therefore, Zhang Yang didn't pull him into the company, but just called him when the team was being formed and asked if he was free.

With the beautiful martial arts action design in "Dragon Snake" and "Covering the Sky", Peng Zulong has now made a name for himself, and many crews have invited him.

However, as soon as Zhang Yang called, he immediately turned down other invitations, and took a group of people from the Chen family class to Haihua to join the crew of "Fist Town Mountain and River".

In addition, although "Fisting Mountains and Rivers" is a Chinese martial arts drama, the battles in it are not the kind of physical fights with fists to the flesh, and there are many special effects scenes.

Thunder Tribulation, Stellar Qi, and External Skills all have to be represented by special effects, so a huge special effects team is also needed.

And making special effects takes a long time.

But don't forget that there is still a Lotte video card there, and Luo Yong didn't release any specific information, only saying that he is still investigating. Although the news of the sale has been released, Boss Jia has not come forward, and the exact time cannot be determined.

Therefore, the filming time of this film is very tight, Zhang Yang wants to finish filming as much as possible before Lotte sells it, and raise 60 billion funds as soon as possible.

Therefore, Zhang Yang directly recruited the eight major domestic special effects companies to be stationed in the group, and at the same time changed the traditional shooting method of Longguo, adopting the method of shooting an episode, cutting it directly, and then immediately sending the finished film to make special effects to speed up the progress.

In this way, after the script was released, in just a few days, the crew formation of "Fist Town Mountain and River" was directly completed.

The rest of props, costumes, music, etc., are handled by personnel from various departments of Xuanyu, and Zhang Yang can just shoot the movie.

At the same time, when the script was finalized, Xuan Yu also started looking for actors.

In the past, Xuan Yu was responsible for the casting work himself.

But this time, Zhang Yang handed over the casting work to a film and television company called Dongyang Casting that specializes in casting for film and television works.

This company has connections with many brokerage companies. Under Zhang Yang's money offensive, a large number of actors were quickly recruited, and the primary selection was carried out directly according to the script. They are all good actors, and there are a lot of old actors and the like.

Just wait for Zhang Yang to finish forming the crew, and then conduct a round of re-examination.

Dongyang Film and Television Company.

For three consecutive days, Zhang Yang, as the director and also the main examiner of the re-examination stage of the actor audition stage, was so busy that he finally decided on the specific cast of "Fisting the Mountains and Rivers".

All the characters with surnames in the original book are well-known characters in China, and each face is an actor who often appears on the screen, which can be recognized by the audience of Longguo at a glance.

The rest is due to the expansion of some scenes in the script and some extra characters. It is not difficult to find extras.

Soon, the cast audition work was over. Because many famous actors were selected for the whole drama, 1.4 million was spent on the remuneration alone, and a lot of other messy things were spent, and the big head was divided among the eight special effects companies.

at the same time.

On the second day after confirming the list of actors, Peng Zulong took the visual effects personnel from Chen Jiaban and the eight major special effects companies, props, makeup, art, etc., all of which were in place!
After everything was ready, Zhang Yang immediately rushed to the Shudian film and television base with a huge crew, arranged a hotel, contacted board and lodging, determined the shooting location, and completed the entire process at an extremely fast speed!
So far, the preparatory work of the crew is all ready!
