fantasy blockbuster era

Chapter 178 Actors and Members

Haihua City.

Xuanyu Film and Television Company.

In the office, Zhang Yang was flipping through the documents.

These are the lists of actors compiled by the training department.

The scripts for the three major dramas are still being written, and the news of actor auditions has not been widely publicized yet. He just wants to find out in the information whether there is an actor suitable for the role of Hong Yi.

"This? Not good at acting."

"Although this person has the temperament of a scholar, he is too old."

"It's not good looking."

"Too weak."

"."

Along with the sound of turning pages, Zhang Yang frowned.

The actors in the documents submitted by the training department were all actors he was used to seeing, and there were no new faces.

Many of these actors had online acting skills, but combined with the roles they played in the past, Zhang Yang couldn't associate their names with Hong Yi.

There are even a few young fresh meats in ancient costumes who look extremely ugly and are very effeminate. As long as one generation enters Hong Yi's image, he can't help but get chills and get goose bumps all over his body.

"It doesn't work at all. The actor industry in Longguo has really entered a recession. The actors of the previous era have aged, but there are not many people in the new generation who can take over."

Putting the materials he had read aside, he didn't want to read the remaining pile next to it anymore.

The actor who plays Hong Yi must be young, under the age of 25, and his appearance must not be old-fashioned. He must be an elegant scholar, handsome and have an otherworldly temperament.

In short, the appearance of this person must make the audience feel that he is a person who is as ethereal as a fairy, with a tall robe and sleeves, chic and elegant.

At the same time, when dealing with the enemy, although the attack is fierce, you must have righteousness in your body.

To use the words in the novel to describe him, he is wearing a green shirt, has delicate features, is between fifteen and sixteen years old, and has a slightly thin body.

In the later period, he was the number one scholar in civil and military affairs, Yizi among the hundred sages, and the supreme figure who transcended the other side.

The image and temperament of the characters in the whole play have a large span, but the face has not changed much, and has always remained young.

This means that the person playing the role must not only look good, be young enough, but also have sufficient acting skills.

Actors who meet the requirements are only young people.

It's a pity that the young actors Zhang Yang saw in the actor information handed over by the training department were completely unsuitable.

Most of the actresses are stereotyped Internet celebrity faces, and there are not many outstanding male actors, who don't have enough characteristic temperament.

Even if there is someone with suitable looks, the acting skills are not up to par.

"It's really hard to find."

Pressing the center of his eyebrows, Zhang Yang shifted his gaze to the computer.

There is a folder on the computer. There are several pictures in the folder. When you click on it, you will see that they are all pictures of people.

"This is Hong Yi!"

Slide the mouse, Zhang Yang clicks on a picture.

The drawings in the folder are all drawings drawn by Liang Bing from the art department for the role of Hong Yi.

Hong Yi inside has a handsome face, fair skin, sword eyebrows and star eyes, a thin body but stands upright, and has a strong Confucian character.

She was wearing an ordinary blue shirt all over her body, but she felt like she was full of poetic and bookish spirit.

This picture is of Hong Yi at the beginning.

During this period, he was trapped in the Marquis Mansion and lived in poverty, but he never gave in.

Click on the next one.

In the next drawing, Hong Yi is wearing a white robe, with sharp eyes, surrounded by three-foot flying swords. The blood and energy in his body are not released, and his soul is full, capable of killing demons.

This is the practice of the two major boxing techniques of Bull Demon and Tiger Demon, which can strengthen bones and muscles, and achieve success in martial arts.At the same time, the soul was first formed and the Hongyi after practicing the "Past Amitabha Sutra".

At this time, he has achieved success in cultivation, and his temperament has changed. Compared with the first picture, he is a little more mature, a little bit more vigorous, and his figure is also stronger.

Looking at the faces alone, there is not much difference between the two pictures, but comparing the whole picture, the temperament is already completely different.

The first season of "Yangshen" only filmed Chapter 60 of the original work. With such a short content, Hong Yi has undergone such a big change. May I ask which young actor can perform well?

"What's wrong? You're looking sad. Are you still worried about the actors?"

It happened that Lin Xiaohan pushed the door open and entered, seeing him rubbing his brows, looking troubled and depressed, he couldn't help asking with concern.

"Yeah, I've looked at a lot of the actor lists submitted by the training department, but I can't find any suitable ones."

Zhang Yang said sadly.

"Would you like to relax your requirements a little bit? In terms of acting, forget about it. I think a few of them have passable looks, and their costumes are also pretty good."

Lin Xiaohan suggested.

Zhang Yang refused: "Absolutely not. Hong Yi is the male lead. I don't really care about his appearance. What matters most to me is his temperament and acting skills."

"I heard that the training department has recruited a new group of actors. Are there any suitable newcomers?"

When selecting actors for "Fist Town Mountain and River" before, he asked the training department to broaden their horizons and recruit more people of all kinds, not just focusing on handsome men and beautiful women.

After all, there are many actors who are not handsome but have their own characteristics, and there are very few actors who really stand out purely because of their appearance.

After the request is issued.

The training department took action immediately, and heard that they had dug up a few more, but they didn't find any information about these people when they looked at the information before.

"I just came here to tell you about it."

She handed over a stack of documents and said, "This is the batch of newcomers' information collected by Manager Wang from the training department. I thought it might be useful, so I'll show it to you."

Zhang Yang took the file and flipped through it casually.

That's four people, all men.

Looking at the photos, they are not stereotyped handsome guys and little wolf dogs. On the contrary, they all have ordinary looks. They are very similar to Fan Leizhou before the audition, but everyone has their own characteristics. As long as they show their faces on the screen a few times, they are very It is easy for the audience to remember, it means yellow water and Baoqiang.

Lin Xiaohan introduced: "The few people recruited this time are not from majors, but are all small roles at the bottom of the film and television industry. Some are still playing tricks, and some are purely passionate. But it’s not enough. They are still not qualified in many aspects, and now they are all stepping up training, strengthening training in dance, body shape, acting skills, movements, lines, etc.”

After listening to what he said, and comparing it with the information, Zhang Yang looked at the information without any hope.

The information records their basic information, graduate school, age, height, weight and work history.

The best person is the one who has played the role of a criminal in an online drama, and the rest of the resumes are just a few words, one or two scenes of small characters.

No matter in terms of appearance or past experience, he has nothing to do with Hong Yi.

After flipping through it, Zhang Yang put the materials aside, shook his head and said, "They can't do it either, let's continue practicing first, and when they are proficient in all aspects, let Manager Wang select good performers internally, arrange people into the crew, and participate in the performances." A few small roles to test the waters."

There are dozens of characters with lines in the film version of "Dragon Snake", the drama version of "Zhou Tian" and "Yang Shen". Since the establishment of the training department, besides Zou Yun, there are more than [-] people practicing , just for debut.

Now that they have signed the contract, it's okay to give them a chance if they perform well.

Standing up and walking to the window, Zhang Yang lit a cigarette, and said in a relaxed way: "You should pay more attention to the training department. You can find a way to recruit new people, and then expand the scale. You are not afraid of wasting money. As long as you have potential, it doesn't matter if you are male or female." Young and old can sign in.

The company will film movies every year from now on, and there are many opportunities. As long as you have the ability, it is easy to flatter people.

Besides, handing these roles to outsiders is a waste of money and helps outsiders train actors. If we have suitable ones internally, why not hand them over to our own people? "

Each drama produced by Xuanyu requires an investment of hundreds of millions.

So much money has been earned by outside actors, so it's better to give it to your own people.

Moreover, according to Zhang Yang's point of view for many roles, the current actors are completely unsuitable for acting. It is better to vigorously cultivate newcomers, which can not only gain the wool of the system, but also make it easier for him to find actors, killing two birds with one stone.

"Actors are the foundation of a drama, and the work of the training department is also the foundation of Xuanyu. Once this foundation is firmly established, Xuanyu can go further."

Zhang Yang warned.

"Understood." Lin Xiaohan nodded: "I will urge them."

Zhang Yang turned around and sat back on the sofa, pulling Lin Xiaohan close, and the two sat together, intimately.

"That's fine. In addition to the training department, you have to take care of other departments of the company. After a while, Wang Fei will go out to film, and then the management of the company will be handed over to you."

Lin Xiaohan has grown up.

From the original secretary, he has transformed into a qualified manager.

After Wang Fei directs the movie version of "Dragon Snake", Zhang Yang will also start filming "Yangshen". At that time, Xuanyu must have a big BOSS who can suppress the whole audience, and Lin Xiaohan now is enough to take on the important task.

"Do not worry."

Lin Xiaohan is full of confidence.

She was a top student, and in the past two years, without Zhang Yang, she had handled many affairs of Xuanyu and then handed them over to Zhang Yang for signature.

It can be said that within Xuan Yu, whether it is prestige, ability or close relationship, it is the best choice to let Xuan Yu take care of her.

"Don't worry about filming, the company will be managed by me, there will be absolutely no problems."

"I believe you."

Zhang Yang smiled.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, chatting with each other for a while, before she left.

Fa Cai, who was in the same office, was watching from the side. For some reason, he felt full even though he hadn't eaten dog food.

After she left, Zhang Yang didn't have any interest in looking through the actor's profiles that he hadn't finished reading. Anyway, he couldn't find any suitable ones, so he simply stopped reading.

He started to turn on his computer and search for news about "Fist Town Mountains and Rivers" on the Internet.

Last night, "Fist to Rule the Mountains and Rivers" officially launched.

Although Xigua Video has not yet sent the relevant playback data, looking at the popularity on the Internet, you know that the playback volume will definitely not be bad.

Because this morning, several notifications popped up on Douyin on his mobile phone, all of which were short videos related to "Fighting Mountains and Rivers".

As soon as I turned on the computer and logged into Guangbo, to Zhang Yang's expectation, in addition to "Fist to Rule the Mountains and Rivers", there was also "Fist" which was also very popular.

The top ten of Guangbo's hot search list in this issue are all news related to the two dramas.

"A new drama about Zhang Yang's martial arts!"

"Fisting the mountains and rivers!"

"The righteousness of the family and the country, the benefit of the country and the people, the intention of the fist!"

"The era of Chinese martial arts drama is coming!"

"Longguo TV drama investment has entered a new era!"

"Where is the national martial arts, it is obviously fantasy!"

"Do you support Fist Zhenshanhe or Fist Intention?"

"Fan Leizhou is so handsome!"

"Xu Zikai is so handsome!"

Looking through these messages, Zhang Yang became interested.

["Fist Intent"?Isn't this the drama Xu Le filmed? 】

He remembered that when he was filming at Shudian, Xu Le sent someone to inquire about special effects, and he couldn't help but smile.

Although the special effects of "Fist Town Mountain and River" are good, they did not use the future special effects machine.

Naturally, Xu Le couldn't find out anything, but later, Zhang Yang led the crew to shoot on location, and he rarely heard about "Fist Intent".

Fu Yiming said before that he wanted two dramas to compete in the ring, but judging from the current results, on Guangbo, the popularity of "Fisting Intention" seems to be much higher than "Fisting Mountains and Rivers"?
[I didn't expect this show to be so popular? 】

Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows and curiously clicked on a few hot searches related to "Fist Intent".

One of the top messages was an article by a film critic.

"It is indeed a fantasy martial arts blockbuster created by Teng Gua at a cost of 7 million! So far, the premiere has easily exceeded 2 million, approaching the 3 million mark!
According to the information that the author has heard from inside, this is Tenggua’s internal transformation work, claiming to create a real Dragon Kingdom drama!

Famous director Zhang Yang put forward a theory at the beginning of this year. He believed that in order for a film to be popular, it must follow the five aspects of plot, combat power, goal, scene, and investment to produce a good-looking film and television work.

The direction of Tenggua's internal transformation is to follow this theory, and "Fisting" is also strictly filmed according to this theory!

The whole drama, no matter from any aspect, is all close to these five big ones, it is an out-and-out blockbuster!

I highly recommend netizens to support this drama, it’s really great! "

There are many comments below this message.

"Although "Fist Intention" is good-looking, I prefer "Fist of Mountains and Rivers"!"

"Zhang Yang's rise, the previous directors were too stingy, and they dared to call it a blockbuster with tens of millions, let's take a closer look at what is a blockbuster!"

"Director Long Guo wants to be big in filming dramas! Big! Big!"

There are many similar news.

As a result, his previous interview videos also became popular again as the news spread.

Many people who didn’t know it before are posting related discussions.

There is a lot of praise, there is also a lot of criticism, and there are all kinds of words.

But no matter what, his blockbuster was really popular anyway, and Zhang Yang couldn't help but enjoy watching it.

He thought of one thing.

Now that Teng Gua, as a student, has proven that his theory is feasible, what about other film and television companies in the future?

At that time, what kind of grand occasion will the Longguo film and television industry be like?
Thinking about it, he was looking forward to it.

By the way, he also became interested in "Fist", became a member of Tenggua, and watched the first two episodes.

After watching it, even he felt that the movie was really good.

A lot can be seen from the content of the first two episodes alone.

The novel setting of time travel is cited, which itself is very attractive to the audience.

Moreover, the martial arts movements are not soft, and they also refer to the national martial arts level setting proposed by Dragon Snake, which also attracted some viewers.

Moreover, in the first two episodes, in the battle between the two masters of Chinese martial arts, the special effects were fully pulled, and the scene was earth-shattering. Coupled with the scenes of the battlefield that appeared, and various exquisite real-life venues, the audience was completely attracted. .

In addition, there are not many flaws in the plot, unlike some dramas about that chaotic era, which completely focus on the upper class and all kinds of Mary Su dramas.

In addition to the upper class, this drama also focused on the poor people of Longguo at that time.

Except for the flaws of the male protagonist, it can be said that the plot, concept, special effects, and scenes of the entire drama are very good!

No wonder it can reach the current terrifying statistics!
Not to mention other viewers, even Zhang Yang liked watching it very much.

From his perspective, apart from the fact that the drama "Fist" has no system support, the quality of the work itself is only a little bit behind "Fist".

Don't forget, Zhang Yang has used system props in directing. It can be said that in terms of directing ability, no director in the world is better than him.

As a veteran director, although Xu Le is also very strong, he is still far behind him.

The biggest difference between the two dramas is the director's ability. There are subtle differences in understanding of the work, control of storyboards, lighting, camera angles and other details.

Coupled with the blessing of the system, these gaps come together to create an obvious gap between the two dramas.

Without these things, the drama "Fist Intention" may not be much worse than "Fist Town Mountain and River".

As for the gap in playback volume, the gap between users of Xigua and Tenggua is still too large. It is understandable that "Fist of the Mountains and Rivers" is less popular.

[Unexpectedly, Teng Gua actually filmed such a powerful TV series, I am a member of this! 】

Looking at the various barrages flashing on Tenggua's video interface, Zhang Yang couldn't help but be curious about the next development of the plot.
