Chapter 394
Yang Wenqi's acting skills in the audition made everyone look at her with admiration, she passed the audition without a doubt, and was appointed as the second female lead.

As for the female number three, Luo Yingying is also the default, so there is no Xin Yuqing's role. The male second is tentatively designated as Zhang Hang, and the final decision has not yet been made. The specific choice depends on his personal wishes and his suitability for the role.

After the internal audition in the afternoon, Chen Feng, Lu Sijia, Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui had a real company high-level meeting in the conference room.

The main issue is the choice of heroine and heroine.As for the director, I have already decided to choose one of the two, and I will wait for the two candidates to be notified to come for an interview.

As for the choice of the heroine, Lu Sijia tended to ask the queen Yang Ziying, while Wu Mengting expressed her opposition.

The reason for the objection is simple, Yang Ziying is a bit old, and the setting of the heroine of "Sapphire Case" started from fifteen or sixteen years old. Most of the content of this drama is concentrated between the ages of 25 and 15.

And Yang Ziying's real age is now 31 years old, no matter how young she is, it is difficult to maintain that kind of real girlishness.

What's more, Yang Ziying has acted in too many costume dramas, and the public is already a little fatigued.

Also, her pay is too high.

The last point is the most important. It is rumored that Yang Ziying’s salary for the last TV series was as high as 5000 million. If they hired her, even if the price was lowered, it would not be lower than 3000 million. The original investment of this drama was actually only 3000 million. Ten thousand, no matter how high it is, it will mention 5000 million, and it cannot be more.

So it is obviously unrealistic to ask her to play the leading role.

It's not that Lu Sijia didn't think of this question, she said: "If I can lower her salary to 2000 million, what do you think?"

"It's impossible." Wu Mengting shook her head directly and said, "How could she lower herself so much?"

Lu Sijia smiled mysteriously and said: "You may not know that Yang Ziying is about to terminate her contract with the company she signed with now, and she has no plan to renew her contract. She intends to separate her studio and do it alone. In addition, she has not filmed for nearly a year. It's because she didn't want to shoot, but she didn't have a movie to shoot. Just like what Mengting was worried about just now, other companies and investors are also worried that the audience will have aesthetic fatigue. Yes. Also, the pay was too high, or the script was too bad and she didn't accept it.

Therefore, she actually urgently needs a new drama of good quality now.

In fact, after online surveys, she is still one of the most popular female stars in our country. As long as it is a good drama, everyone will not get tired of watching it.Just like those Xiangjiang stars in the past, which one didn't make dozens or hundreds of movies and TV series?Are we tired of watching their plays?No.

Therefore, audiences who are tired of watching her plays basically do not exist.As long as the plot of the TV series produced is attractive enough and the quality is good enough, there will still be a lot of people watching it.And our "Sapphire Case" script is good enough, as long as it is shown to her, she will definitely be moved.

We can use this to lower her salary, and I am still somewhat sure that it can be lowered to 2000 million.Her last drama claimed to be paid 5000 million yuan, but as far as I know, she actually got more than 2000 million yuan.We can also operate in this way, declaring that she is paid 4000 million yuan, but actually giving her 2000 million yuan should be enough. "

After hearing Lu Sijia's words, Wu Mengting did not refute.After all, Yang Ziying is the queen of TV dramas. The costume dramas she filmed before have basically achieved very good ratings, and several of them are the top TV dramas.

If it is possible to invite her to play the leading role for 2000 million yuan, there are still many TV stations who will buy it, and so will many viewers.Yang Ziying's fan base is really quite large, with its own traffic and topicality.

As for her being a little older, her girlishness is actually not a big deal, as long as the way of persuasion is in place and the lens filter is in place, the girlishness can still be made up.

"If you can really hit 2000 million, we can consider her to play the heroine."

Wu Mengting finally let go.

Lu Sijia smiled and nodded, the matter was settled.

The next day, Fengmang Film and Television sent out an invitation letter for auditions, formally recruiting cast members.

In the afternoon, Lu Sijia received half of the good news. The reason for the half is because Yang Ziying was very interested in the play after reading the plot summary and part of the script of "The Jade Case", and she had already agreed to act in it in principle. .

But in terms of remuneration, the other party's agent insisted on the money, and after Lu Sijia bargained with her for a long time, the other party insisted on 2600 million and would not let go.

This salary is equivalent to the actual salary of Yang Ziying's last TV series.

After Chen Feng heard about Lu Sijia's news, he directly vetoed it: "If the salary is so high, I won't invite her. I have someone here, Zhang Yuxi, you know? I think she is more suitable for the role of heroine. She also She starred in a costume drama and got very good ratings."

"Zhang Yuxi? Her appearance is not bad, but she seems to focus on singing. It seems that she hasn't acted in two or three years, right? And I think her acting skills are also very average."

Lu Sijia's evaluation is quite pertinent.If Zhang Yuxi hadn't personally sent her a message, begging her softly, Chen Feng would never have thought of letting her star in his company's big production.

After all, as Lu Sijia said, Zhang Yuxi hasn't filmed for two or three years, and her acting skills are relatively average.In addition, she is still a little far from being a real first-line star, especially in terms of audience popularity, which obviously does not meet the company's original intention of choosing a first-line female star as the heroine.

"I think her acting skills are not bad. And this TV series does not have particularly deep acting requirements. In addition, her plasticity is relatively strong. She can be adjusted slowly when filming. She also has a large number of loyal fans. Traffic. Also, her salary is relatively low, and it should be about 30 to [-] per episode."

Hearing what Chen Feng said, Lu Sijia recalled it, and said in a business-like tone: "Then you should let her come to our company to audition first. We will discuss everything in detail after the audition. Especially Meng Ting Over there, she is the screenwriter and the production director, she attaches great importance to this drama, you'd better convince her first."

After saying this, Lu Sijia hung up the phone directly.

Putting down the phone, Chen Feng scratched his head a little.Convincing Lu Sijia would not work, and convincing Wu Mengting seemed even more difficult.

However, who made me promise Zhang Yuxi in the first place.

He promised Zhang Yuxi that she could invest in the dramas she likes in the future, and it will be fine within 3000 million.Now she wants the heroine of the drama "Sapphire Case", is it too much?Not at all excessive.

In the evening, when Wu Mengting came back from get off work, when the three of them were eating together at the dinner table, Chen Feng was still thinking about how to speak and how to persuade Wu Mengting.

As a result, Wu Mengting spoke first: "Brother, Zhang Yuxi contacted me today, and she has already received the news, so she recommends herself and wants the heroine role in "The Jade Case", what do you think?"

Wu Mengting and Zhang Yuxi met once at the beginning, drank and ate together, and they kept in touch afterwards.

Chen Feng pretended to think for a while before he said: "I think she's okay. At least the appearance is more in line with the hostess's design. And she is pretty enough, standing with the second female Yang Wenqi, she won't lose much color. Otherwise , even if Yang Ziying and Yang Wenqi stand together, I think Yang Ziying is a little inferior in appearance."

Wu Mengting nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "I've asked her to come to the company to audition, and we'll see when the time comes."

What else could Chen Feng say, he could only do this first.He's a good boss, but he usually doesn't care about things.Moreover, the screenwriter and production director of this drama is still Wu Mengting, and Lu Sijia, as the general manager, seems to disagree.

If his boss insists on letting Zhang Yuxi play the leading role, it's not impossible.But Wu Mengting and Lu Sijia must be dissatisfied.

This is very unnecessary!
He can use other methods to fulfill his original promise to Zhang Yuxi, and he doesn't have to let her star in this new drama.

That night, Chen Feng told Zhang Yuxi about his difficulties and the attitudes of Wu Mengting and Lu Sijia on WeChat.

Zhang Yuxi was very sensible, and replied that it was okay, she just wanted Chen Feng to come to a room in a well-known five-star hotel tonight, and chat with her about the script of this new drama, so that she could be more confident when she auditioned for Feng Mang Film and Television tomorrow.

Chen Feng was at a loss, so could he refuse her request to discuss the script together at night?Certainly not.

So, at around nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Feng went out to the hotel to make an appointment.

In the hotel room, Chen Feng discussed the script with Zhang Yuxi for more than two hours, and told her in detail from the inside to the outside, so that she had a thorough understanding, and returned to Hongshu Bay before one o'clock in the morning s home.

It wasn't that he didn't want to stay in the hotel directly, but that he had already made an agreement with Wu Mengting to go to the company together the next morning, so he couldn't keep the appointment.

When I came to the company the next day, there were already many people waiting for the audition outside the company gate.

This time, Feng Mang Film and Television is recruiting external actors. In addition to the male and female protagonists, there are also other large and small supporting roles. There are a total of more than a dozen more formal roles. So many roles can naturally attract many applicants.

What's more, Fengmang Film and Television is not without reputation at present. It has already produced the hit drama "Heshan Order", and those who are well-informed in the industry also know that "Please advise me for the rest of my life" will be broadcast on the stars.

Therefore, it is understandable that these actors are flocking to Feng Mang Films and Television to launch a new drama, and it is still a big production.

As for the auditions for small supporting roles, of course the boss Chen Feng would not personally participate.He came here this time mainly to interview the two directors and the hostess.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Cheng Linzhuang came to their company first.

Comparing the two directors, Cheng Linzhuang was less famous, and Chen Feng, Lu Sijia, and Wu Mengting interviewed him together.

Cheng Linzhuang is 38 years old this year. He has a beard, wears glasses, and looks more refined. He is relatively young in the director's profession.The representative work currently available is "Heshan Order".

The questions Chen Feng asked here were mainly some questions about the upper part of "Heshan Order". Cheng Linzhuang answered them fluently. It can be seen that his professional quality is quite good, and Chen Feng is quite satisfied with this.

Lu Sijia asked some more professional director questions, and Cheng Linzhuang also answered them well.

Wu Mengting asked some questions about the shooting of the new drama, and Cheng Linzhuang also gave his own answers.

The interview lasted nearly 10 minutes.

After he went out, Wu Mengting said: "I think he is very good, so I will choose him here."

Lu Sijia frowned slightly and said, "Let's wait until we have interviewed Director Dai."

After Chen Feng heard what she said, he didn't rush to speak.

It's just that Director Dai came almost half an hour later than the agreed time. After the interview with Cheng Linzhuang, they all went out, and the three of them waited for more than ten minutes together before coming.

When he came in, although he apologized at the first moment, saying that something was delayed, but obviously he was a little careless and didn't have much sincerity.

Not to mention his attitude made Chen Feng and Wu Mengting a little unhappy, and Lu Sijia also frowned a little.

However, since everyone has come over, the interview work still has to continue.

As usual, Chen Feng started to ask him questions, but the other party's answers were somewhat irrelevant, and the topic was brought up to a few TV series he had directed before, and then it was all about boasting.

Seeing this, Chen Feng only asked two questions and then shut up.

Following Lu Sijia, he also asked him a few professional questions, but this time the other party answered honestly, and there was nothing wrong with it.

As for Wu Mengting, she simply said that she has no problem.

Therefore, within 10 minutes, the interview was over.

As soon as Director Dai went out, Wu Mengting said: "This Director Dai may be really capable, but he is not suitable for our company, at least not suitable for directing this drama. He is too proud, we can't afford him." Big Buddha."

Lu Sijia sighed and said, "He may think that we are insulting him by inviting Director Cheng to interview with him, so that's why we act like this."

Chen Feng made a final decision: "Regardless of whether there is a reason for him or not, but now that the bad impression of each other has already formed, there is really no need to continue to cooperate with him. I think Cheng Linzhuang will be the director."

Lu Sijia opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't object.

This matter was settled like this, and then the rest of the crew, including photography, action director, etc., the boss Chen Feng didn't have to worry about it, they could leave it to Cheng Linzhuang to build it himself, or Lu Sijia could recruit it.

This matter was discussed by Lu Sijia, Wu Mengting, and Cheng Linzhuang.

After the director candidate is confirmed, it is the audition selection for the hostess.

In the morning, there were three candidates. Apart from the two first-line actresses who received invitations from their company, Zhang Yuxi was the one.

Zhang Yuxi's audition came first. This time, apart from Chen Feng, Wu Mengting, and Lu Sijia, there were Zhao Guoqing, Sun Xiaorui, Hu Rui, and several department managers including Liu Ying.

Expanding the number of interviewees can be regarded as maintaining fairness as much as possible.

Zhang Yuxi's acting skills are still online, just like what she told Chen Feng at the hotel last night, although she hasn't filmed in the past two or three years, she has been training her acting skills. She has been trained by a professional teacher. Let's take a look at her acting skills now , believe what she said is true.

This made Chen Feng feel more satisfied with her, at least the acting was very similar to that.

Then, two other first-tier actresses, one aged 25 and the other 27.

To be honest, their acting skills are better than Zhang Yuxi's. After all, they are all from majors, but they are all older than Zhang Yuxi, and they are not as beautiful as Zhang Yuxi.

In addition, the salary is much higher than that of Zhang Yuxi.

Therefore, Zhang Yuxi still has a chance.
