Northeast Fourth Ring Road, near Wangjing SOHO.

Employees from Monkey Pictures in a building were taking Ye Qing and others to the audition site. There were employees passing by on the way. They were another team member of their company called "Embroidered Spring Sword 2: Shura Battlefield".

This drama invests 90 million yuan, which is a big production.

Zhang Zhen, Yang Mi, Zhang Yi, Lei Datou, Xin Zhilei and others joined. These actors who have become famous now or in the future gathered in this masterpiece, with a large number of people and a lively run.

It's going to be released soon.

Everyone is looking forward to a double-winning box office reputation.

On the other hand, I turned two corners and came to another crew of "Indian Medicine God" that was being filmed:

It's much deserted here.

Because it is a small-cost production, the current shooting cost is only 15 million, plus the subsequent promotion and promotion of 45 million. So from the perspective of shooting costs alone, it is obviously not the intention of inviting other big names to join.

"But everyone is still very happy that Ye Qing can come."

The director of the film, Wen Muye, is responsible for receiving Ye Qing. Not only because Ye Qing is here, but also because the two are alumni, they have been in contact when they were in school. Really, the cohesion of large cinema schools such as Beijing Film and Central Academy of Drama is so terrifying.

Count the people Ye Qing came into contact with after he came out of the camp:

Needless to say, Huang Lei.

Let’s talk about actor Zhou Dongyu, director Wen Muye, and Ye Qing’s classmates, including Nazha, all of them are from Beijing Film Academy...

You have to say, no wonder those who study movies have to go to these three pasts. The relationship between them alone is much easier to talk about in the entertainment industry, forming a natural interest alliance.

"That's why I can come here with my senior brother."

Ye Qing said politely here.

He also knew that he could come now, most of the time it was because of the company's participation in the investment, and his price reduction was not important. As a side job, Ye Qing himself did it as an interesting thing between the albums:

A true pure singer spent most of the year boring writing songs, selecting songs, producing, publishing albums, and occasionally appearing on variety shows. But Ye Qing copied Jay Chou, so he had to follow the same process and not be bored to death?

His creations are nothing new, the main theme is to copy songs, arrange music, MV, and then come out. There is nothing behind the story, the creation process, etc. Over time, it is inevitable that: copy songs - produce songs - show off - copy songs...

Go through this cycle.

I have to add some information to the matter, that is the side job.

So Ye Qing has his own reasons, and the reason why Monkey Pictures has the confidence to make an audition for Ye Qing's choice is actually part of the real movie star who is in the room at the moment:

Xu Zheng.

But this big shot is a little worried now.

...

Inside the house, Xu Zheng first looked at the scene of the crew.

He had signed a contract at this time, and many people came for his fame. It was the first time the director filmed a feature film independently, so Xu Zheng had to help him check it out.

Now, I found the problem at a glance:

"Hey, you can't do it here. Look at your scene. The story first happened in early 2000. There was no such computer monitor at that time. If you can't do it, you have to change it to a big butt computer monitor."

The person next to him immediately replied: "Okay, Brother Zheng, let's do it right away. It's just this..."

"It's like this first, there's nothing I can do."

Xu Zheng, who was shining with a sad face, said, "I really found the problem with you..." He was just an actor and found the defects in it. So will there be many such defects? But, if you think about it again, he knows that this thing can't be blamed entirely on the crew:

The story prototype story spans ten years in total.

But if the movie is shot like this, it won't work.

Directors need to grasp the rhythm so that the film has dramatic tension and will not be boring to watch it, so they compress this time to two or three years. Some conflicts will inevitably form, and they are still difficult to solve problems.

Even in the end it may be unsolvable.

So after the others left, Xu Zheng lay on the chair and wandered wildly in his mind. He was about to say a few words to Wen Muye when he remembered to say hello to the man who had just entered the door: "I'm so busy that I'm dizzy. Cao Bin should have an audition later, right? Lao Wang, Xiao Mu, where are the people going?"

"I went to pick up an actor. Ye Qing, one of them is very popular recently. Have you heard of it?"

"Oh, I think I've heard of it somewhere, it's the one who acted in "Cold Night"?"

"Yes, it's him."

The person who talked with Xu Zheng was named Wang Yibing, who was the producer of this new drama. He also produced "One Night Surprise" and "The Heart Blooming" and this time "The Embroidered Spring Sword 2: Shura Battlefield". So he is also an old friend, and Ye Qing recommended it to him.

Lao Wang was jealous of the pre-sale of "Cold Night".

This movie sells for more than 200 million yuan, which is an unexpected surprise for art films of this cost. Therefore, many originally reserved producers rushed to this actor who had a bad reputation before, even including the team of director Huang who had spoken out before:

It’s not too shabby to make money.

I apologize and reconcile at that time, it is still a new topic. After all, everyone has also watched the performance in "Cold Night", and Ye Qing is completely above the passing line. With Zhou Dongyu's role and his own limitations, he made a very good performance: with a little training, he can completely pass the level.

Everyone knows the importance of directors to actors. Ye Qing thought he had never met any good directors before.

So now everyone has seen it...

A group of directors who claim to be good rushed over.

However, people have released the conditions: pay, ranking, story, and satisfaction. We cooperate directly with the three things, and we take the initiative to find you. We satisfy the two things...that is to be discussed.

Today's "The God of Medicine" meets the last two items.

But whether we can cooperate or not is still a matter of different opinions.

Because not only your team has the conditions, our crew also has requirements.

...

Speaking of the crew of "The God of Medicine", it seems like a small investment, but in fact it has already begun to have potential in the background.

The script written by the third master's daughter, Ning Hao's team, Xu Zheng's golden combination, and moving story prototypes. If it weren't for the fact that this story involves too many realistic and gray sensitive corners, this drama would have been even more popular.

But, it's because this drama may have been made...

Can't get on.

I don't dare to invest too much.

So he brought in his friend Xu Zheng, who shared the profits of the box office, and used the remaining money for shooting and hiring other actors.

It is precisely because of this relatively tight fund that they hired actors but didn’t hire any big names, and they were mainly acting. After all, what they wanted to shoot was not a love science fiction idol drama, but a movie full of practical significance and full of emotions.

So it’s not that you don’t want to hire big names, but that you don’t have the money to hire.

Now that the show is good and the money is low, they have become what they want the most.

Just a month ago, there was a relatively unexpected news from the investor: that was the popular fan who just became famous in the film industry with pre-sale box office battle, and Ye Qing, the number one player in Tianhe Entertainment, was interested in competing for this role.

Wang Yibing still remembers that when he heard this news, many people in the crew were stunned and sneered afterwards.

But he knew very well that movies always make money.

In "Cold Night", the other party showed a qualified acting skills, and there is no reason to reject such a movie actor with a basic foundation - good reputation movies and good box office movies. The producers must want the latter, and the market also chose the latter. So some bad movies can have one, two, three, and four, which is why.

"Hello, Teacher Xu Zheng, I have long been honored by Daqi."

Inside the house, Xu Zheng looked at the legendary actor and nodded and smiled, "I dare not, I have known you after watching your "Cold Night", and I did a good job. I heard from them that you are still a singer, right? I will grab both movie songs."

Ye Qing opposite is very low-key:

"Thank you, teacher, you're still learning."

The two of them were probably polite. Under Sister Hua's introduction, Ye Qing had already known each other with the producer, and the screenwriter and photography of the crew were here, so the atmosphere was quite harmonious, which was different from previous auditions:

It was more like a few people gathered together and chatting with Ye Qing.

After Wen Muye spoke, everyone returned to the topic: "Okay, let's talk about these later. Ye Qing, you know that the character Cao Bin does not have a prototype, he is just a fabricated character. You have read some content, what do you think?"

...

Ha, when it comes to understanding the script, Ye Qing will not be sleepy.

What is his biggest advantage?

If the script also appeared in the original time and space, his understanding of the overall story would be to a height: even this height was not expected by the original creators.

Because as an audience, Ye Qing saw the finished product, which was the final result of how many people slowly polished it day and night. So he said: "Indeed, I think this character seems more deliberate because it was fabricated."

"Oh, is that?"

Xu Zheng supported him: "What a deliberate way?"

"First of all, because there is no prototype, writing such a character out of thin air is definitely more empty than those who are flesh and blood." With a clear mind, Ye Qing sat on the sofa and talked: "So from the beginning, this character is more difficult than those around him."

"Young people are quick in their minds, and they will soon think of this." Wang Yibing was interested in choosing him, so he praised him.

"Thank you for the production."

Ye Qing looked up and saw that no one else wanted to speak, so he could only continue: "Also, this character naturally has a weak sense of contact with others, and it is actually not so necessary for the main line."

Because Cao Bin is a policeman, he is naturally on the opposite side.

The film party probably realized it, so in order to enhance the connection, he forced the role of a brother-in-law. The general idea may be to want Cao Bin to show the struggles and contradictions between family affection and the law, but Ye Qing actually watched his entire role:

There is a bit of logic confusion and cannot be self-consistent.
To be continued...
