fantasy blockbuster era

Chapter 195 "Sun God" Starts Up

Not just him.

Li Xiaoqiang and Liang Bing couldn't believe their eyes either.

Looking at Hong Yi who walked in, Liang Bing muttered to himself: "It's exactly the same as Hong Yi in my mind, I can't believe it."

Li Xiaoqiang couldn't hide the surprise in his tone.

"I feel that when I wrote the script, the image I substituted was him, and he is the real Hong Yi!"

"It's too similar, too similar!"

"It's almost the same person!"

The two kept amazed.

There was no need to think about it anymore, the two said in unison: "Mr. Zhang, choose him! He is Hong Yi!"

Zhang Yang nodded heavily.

"It's him!"

He stood up suddenly, and immediately told the staff: "Take him to see Wang Yan immediately, sign the contract immediately, and then all the departments will do all the preparations before starting the machine around him!"

There was no need to consider Hong Yi's own opinion at all, Zhang Yang immediately made arrangements.

Hong Yi had known for a long time that he was selected to sign an actor contract with Xuan Yu. Now, seeing the performance of the three of them, before the staff came up, he hurriedly asked, "Am I selected?"

"Selected!" Zhang Yang waved his hand, "You are the leading actor."

"When the auditions for other roles are completed, start filming immediately. I will arrange for someone to help you with the matter of asking for leave at school."

"Now go down with the staff to meet the person in charge of the company's training department, and talk to her about your actor contract. After signing the contract, you don't have to worry about the rest. Everything is covered by the company. Just wait for the start-up notice!"

"Do you have any other comments?"

"I have no opinion."

Hong Yi quickly shook his head.

joke!

How many film school students can get a leading actor in a 5 million investment TV drama while they are in school?
Who else is there in the entire Dragon Kingdom besides him?

Absolutely no opinion!
Hesitating, Hong Yi still stammered: "Exactly. I want to ask about my treatment."

He knew that if he was selected, he would have to sign an actor contract with Xuanyu, and if he didn't sign the contract, he would not get the role. The staff told him in advance, and he was already mentally prepared.

It's just that, if she is really chosen, the matter of treatment will inevitably come to her mind.

He is not short of money, but compared to the profession of an actor, his little money can only be regarded as a small amount of money.

Hong Yi clearly knew that there were many levels of contracts for actors in the industry, and the lowest one might be a little salary plus the remuneration earned from filming, and the remuneration company would take most of it.

The highest is equivalent to the actor starting his own company, and the company is equivalent to a cooperative state.

He would have thought he would have signed at the lowest level.

But just now, the attitude of the three of Zhang Yang is enough to explain everything.

He wants to try and get a better contract.

"Don't worry about the salary. I will definitely give you a satisfactory contract."

After thinking about it, Zhang Yang said to the staff: "Tell Wang Yan to give him a C-level contract. As for the film salary, it will be 5 per episode!"

After all, he is a newcomer, no matter how optimistic he is, it is impossible for Zhang Yang to give an offer that does not conform to the laws of the market.

Giving too much at the beginning will also make Hong Yi have a wrong perception of himself.

Moreover, he has not yet made a name for himself.

Xuanyu's contract is different from the outside world, and will not remain at the same level for a long time.

Just like Fan Leizhou, the contract when he first signed the contract was the lowest C-level contract. The salary was low and the share was high, but the company would spare no effort to help and provide enough resources.

But as his fame grew, Zhang Yang would also ask the training department for a new contract that matched his status.

The only requirement is that the contract can be replaced quickly, but the time limit will also become longer, and the cost of breaching the contract will increase.

Zhang Yang is not doing charity, so it is impossible to train you and let you switch to his family.

However, in general, such conditions are superior enough.

It's not like other brokerage companies who catch an actor and frantically gobble him up.

As for the salary of 5 for a single episode, which already exceeds the treatment of a C-level contract, this is Zhang Yang's other preferential treatment for Hong Yi.

But in terms of resources and training efforts, it still depends on his follow-up performance.

If you perform well, you will soon be promoted to B-level, or even A-level, and your salary will increase by hundreds or even thousands of times.

Zhang Yang has always been extremely generous when it comes to dealing with money.

And judging from Zhang Yang's decision to let him play the leading role and plans to use props to improve his acting skills, Hong Yi's promotion to A-level in the future is almost a certainty.

"How about the price?"

Zhang Yang asked.

"Thank you."

Hong Yi was stunned when he heard the price. He didn't expect it to be so high. After realizing it, he immediately agreed.

"Then go quickly."

Soon, Hong Yi followed them away.

As soon as he left, the three of them in the room recalled the scene when they entered the door just now.

Liang Bing clicked his tongue.

"I haven't noticed it before, but once I put on the costume, I can feel it immediately. This is too similar. As long as the filming is good, this drama can attract a large number of audiences with him alone."

Li Xiaoqiang agreed: "To be honest, the moment I saw him put on the costume, the Hong Yi I imagined in my head immediately changed into his appearance, it's unbelievable!"

"Who says it's not?" Zhang Yang said without hesitation: "This person is the best Hong Yi. Please inform the other candidates and don't hang them up."

The three discussed for a while.

After about ten minutes, the shock in my heart calmed down.

The next week is audition time.

For the other two dramas, they only needed to select some supporting roles, and the casting speed was very fast, and the casting was completed in less than 7 days.

After Hu Kaitian and Wang Fei greeted Zhang Yang, they set off with the crew to the shooting location, and they had already turned on the machine.

Both of them don't really believe in the opening ceremony, and they are both low-key people.

After a simple meal, we talked a few words, and soon started shooting.

Many netizens in the outside world are still unaware of the news that the production crew will start up. If Xuanyu's official blog hadn't posted an article, and the advertising and publicity department invited the media to build momentum, there might be even more people in the dark.

In "Yang Shen", it lasted until the end of the audition time before finally selecting all the roles.

Hong Xuanji chose Ren Hua, a male star in Hong Kong Island.

Ren Hua has played many domineering male roles.

He looks very similar to the actor who played Ju Wushen in the movie version of "Fengyun 2" in his previous life.

Although Hong Xuanji is a master of Neo-Confucianism in the original book, his behavior is full of domineering, decisive and ruthless character. Except for some feelings for Qiandi Yang Pan, other people are just animals like pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep in his heart , is not worth mentioning at all.

Use it if you can use it, and throw it away if you can't use it.

With such a character, and at the age of a middle-aged man, Ren Hua acted with great care.

The only problem is that Ren Hua's Mandarin is not very good, so it was fine during filming. After the screening, he must find a suitable voice actor.

Hong Xuanji's voice was domineering and calm.

There are still many voice actors in Longguo who can interpret this kind of voice, so it's not a big problem.

Finally, Xuan Yu signed a contract with Ren Hua.

Even though there were fewer scenes in the first season, Hong Xuanji is the big villain in the subsequent episodes and the entire "Yang Shen".

So it was also required in the contract that once the filming of the sequel started, Ren Hua could not refuse to act for any reason, otherwise he would face high compensation.

At the same time, Ren Hua also had to participate in the movie version, and the film remuneration was calculated extra.

finally.

After careful consideration by Ren Huafang, Xuanyu signed a contract with him at a price of 300 million yuan for a single episode.

Also.

According to the original novel, the actual content of the first season, such as Meng Shenji, the leader of the Taishangdao Sect, Yang Pan, the Qian Emperor, and other villains throughout the whole story did not appear.

However, for later consideration, Li Xiaoqiang added some plots where several people showed their faces in the script to pave the way for subsequent episodes.

So this audition.

The actors for these three roles have also been confirmed.

The actor of Meng Shenji is also Zheng Jian from Hong Kong Island.

Zheng Jian is now middle-aged.

But he was very handsome when he was young, and he is one of the few actors in Longguo who can control long hair.

When acting, it has a unique flavor.

The Meng Shen Ji plot added in the first season is just showing his face.

During the filming, Zheng Jian will be filmed with Zheng Jian's current middle-aged appearance, but the Meng Shenji in the follow-up series is reincarnated and rebuilt, and he was very young at that time.

So there is a high probability that AI will be used to change faces to shoot.

In the end, because the first season was almost considered a guest appearance, but considering the follow-up cooperation, Zhang Yang still gave him a high appearance fee.

There is also a Qiandi Yang Pan.

There are many actors in the Dragon Kingdom who specialize in emperors, but those emperors are all emperors in historical dramas, while Yang Pan is the emperor of a dynasty in a fantasy world. There is still a big difference between the two.

Thinking about it, thinking about it, Zhang Yang finally paid a lot of money to invite Chen Daori to come and act.

The other party did not come to the audition.

In the first season, Yang Pan just showed his face.

That's why Zhang Yang invited people over by spending money to find connections, and in the follow-up episodes, Chen Daori also agreed to give priority to starring.

As for the rest.

In the first season, there are also some characters who only had some roles in the early stage,

Concubine Yuan, Luo Yun, Bai Ziyue, Tu Lao, the Three Little Foxes of the Fox Clan, Li Shenguang, Hong Xuejiao, Mrs. Zhao, Fang Xiandao, Xiao Anran and other roles have all been selected, and they are all actors above the second-tier in the circle.

All the female characters have both acting skills and beauty, and all the male characters are powerful.

After all contracts are signed and completed.

Zhang Yang immediately took the whole crew to the Shudian.

There is a group of mansions in the Tang and Song Dynasties that have not been built for a few years.

The staff had already discussed it.

The crew of "Yangshen" will first shoot the scenes that took place in the "Wu Wenhou Mansion" in one of the largest mansions.

The scene that happened here is also a relatively simple scene in the whole play, which just allows Hong Yi to have a process of adaptation.

As for the subsequent shooting scenes, the location team has already found places, including the studio, Yujing City, Qianchao Palace and other places, almost all of which are in the vertical shop.

"It is indeed the largest film and television base in China."

Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh.

The idea of ​​building a film and television base belonging to Xuanyu came up again.

"Yes, this base is one of the local pillar industries. I don't know how many people from all over the country make a living here. The government must give strong support. Day after day, year after year, it has been developed for decades. current scale."

A man next to him responded.

Xuan Yu's original filming team was divided into three batches.

The group following "Shading the Sky" was led by Qiao Liang, the group following "Dragon Snake" was a man named You Zhi, and the group following Zhang Yang was the most capable one, named Huang Yuepeng.

The three are not only the person in charge of leading the crew, but also the deputy director of the crew.

Many things that Zhang Yang can't control are managed by Huang Yuepeng.

"It's interesting to say, after our company filmed "Dragon Snake" last year, a lot of martial arts crews settled in Shudian for a short period of time, but they didn't make any famous tricks after that, and then gradually faded away.

This year we released "Shading the Sky", and many fantasy film crews settled here, but nothing came out afterwards.

Last month, I heard that after our "Fist Rules Mountains and Rivers" and Teng Gua's "Fist Intent" became popular, there was another craze of Chinese martial arts dramas here. I don't know how long this craze will last. "

Huang Yuepeng talked about the interesting things he heard.

"How long will it last?"

Zhang Yang sneered: "I also know the news you said, but there is no big news on the Internet at all. At most, some small media are creating momentum. Anyone who thinks about it knows it. There are also people who are jealous and come to get quick money. If big people and really big investments came into the market, they would have already started to publicize and build momentum. Not all companies are as low-key as us."

In fact, it’s not that Zhang Yang wants to keep a low profile.

In the past, I cooperated with Watermelon Video, and the publicity was trembling, and it could easily spread throughout the country.

Now Xuanyu is the only one who is much weaker in terms of publicity. He only invites some media and publishes news on his official account. Naturally, the publicity is not as popular as before.

However, this low-key is also relative to the past.

There are not a few people who know about the publicity funds that have been poured down one after another.

"That's right, there is a long way to go to flourish fantasy culture."

Huang Yuepeng was filled with emotion.

Like Zhang Yang, most people in Xuanyu are serious lovers of oriental fantasy culture.

Even if you don't like it, living in a company where even the name of the company is named after fantasy will make you feel cowardly.

And Huang Yuepeng belongs to the first category.

He was the first batch of veteran employees to join Xuanyu.

Zhang Yang still remembers a sentence in the honor column on his resume.

'I have read more than 5000 million words of fantasy novels since I was in junior high school, and I have rewarded more than ten leaders of many fantasy novel authors. '

Anyone who can write this sentence on their resume and be proud of it will be accepted on the spot!
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Zhang Yang waved his hand and changed the subject: "Have all the crew been recruited?"

"It's all set." Huang Yuepeng nodded and said: "In addition to the company's own manpower, I have borrowed a lot of helpers. Each department has our own people as the core backbone. All expansions have been completed, a total of 816 people!"

There was no need for publicity to ask, Huang Yuepeng continued: "The crew members sent by the special effects company have also joined the team, and all the actors are in place, except for a few guest stars.

But I also called to notify them, and when their scenes were filmed, people would come over. "

"The filming props have all been made, and all the equipment, clothing, cosmetics, vehicles, drinking water, meals, and accommodation that the crew needs to use have been arranged.

In addition, the green screen scenes and shooting props that need to be built in the studio have also been completed, and everything is ready. Do you think there is anything else to add? "

Yangshen is a fantasy film.

Some things exist in reality, but most of them are virtual.

At that time, these non-existent things will need to be photographed in a dedicated studio.

In the later stage, special effects are used to cover and re-produce, and finally the audience is presented with images on the screen that do not exist in reality.

These things need to be prepared separately.

Like in the TV series "Game of Thrones".

The dragon's head that Long Ma sat on the stone and caressed, who knew that it was actually a green club-shaped doll when it was photographed?

"That's about it."

"Call and book a hotel, and then inform the crew to have dinner together in the evening. After dinner, we will officially start the production tomorrow!"
