China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 161 Finalizing the role
After He Hua finished talking with Zhang Runhua, he handed over the evaluation and acquisition to Yu Yang, and he returned to BJ non-stop to participate in the audition for "Those Years".

"Su Lun, find some wooden tables and chairs and arrange them like a high school classroom."

He Hua stood there, with his left hand resting on his right elbow, and his right hand rubbing his chin, staring at the audition scene for a while, and then ordered.

The short-haired woman with glasses on the side heard it and hurriedly responded: "Okay, I'll go find it now." After speaking, she hurried out.

Speaking of which, this girl is not only older than He Hua, but also entered the film and television industry earlier than him. As early as 01, she had been in Feng Xiaogang's "Big Wrist" crew, but at that time she went to Agricultural University Department of Electronics.

Later, because she loved movies, she dropped out of school and re-entered the Chinese opera, and then became He Hua's junior.

Because of her good performance and excellent grades in school, the school recommended her to He Hua along with several others.

After He Hua read her resume, he asked her to be his assistant.

After the audition scene was re-arranged, He Hua began the audition.

"Sissy, sit there."

He Hua pointed to the second row in the middle.

Wearing a blue and white school uniform from the 90s, Liu Yifei obediently walked to the middle and sat down. She came to cooperate with the crew to audition this time.

As soon as she sat down, Chen Xiao walked in. He was about to introduce himself "everyone" when he was interrupted by He Hua.

"Sit in front of her."

Chen Xiao hurried over and sat down.

He Hua walked up to the camera that Zhao Fei was playing with, looked at the effect, whispered a few words to Zhao Fei, and then asked Chen Xiao to perform the scene where he stayed up late to do his homework, and was poked on the back by Shen Jiayi with a pen when he came the next day .

Liu Yifei also started to help with the play.

I saw Chen Xiao resting on the table with her forehead resting on her left arm with her eyes closed.

Liu Yifei poked a pen, and he leaned forward slightly, as if he had expected it, then reached into the cabinet with his right hand as if pulling out a notebook, and handed it directly behind him without raising his head the whole time.

Liu Yifei also began to perform without physical objects, pretending to take the notebook, and then began to turn the pages to make corrections.

After the correction, pat forward: "Correction! 10 minutes."

Only then did Chen Xiao turn around and take it, with a helpless expression on his face, and he said firmly:
"With my ingenuity, it can be done in 5 minutes."

Watching this performance, He Hua couldn't make any waves in his heart. He has seen too many wonderful performances, and the acting skills of these two people are not enough for him.

It's just that the actors in this movie don't have much room to display their acting skills, so He Hua doesn't have too high requirements.

"Okay, it's alright."

This audition went on for two days, and the actors were basically finalized.

The male lead was still given to Chen Xiao, Lao Cao chose Li Jiahang, Ah He remained the same, Dai Xu was chosen, and Bo Chun finally decided on Jin Shijia.

Jin Shijia is tall, but staying with the protagonist group will have a pretty good contrast.

By the way, there is also Gao Ye. At first, He Hua was worried that she would be too beautiful, but when she came, she realized that the 'sister-in-law' had not yet evolved into Gao Leng Yujie, and her image was just right.

After the actors are selected, the rest is the work of the crew.

During this time, the assistant director led the art team to find several places for He Hua to choose from, and finally He Hua decided to shoot in a small backward county in the northeast.

In fact, in the millennium, the economic development of Northeast China has stagnated, especially those county towns, which still retain the appearance of the 90s, which is very suitable for shooting.

In addition, the local county government heard that a crew was going to shoot at them, and they wanted to use schools, so they asked the people from the Education Bureau to take the crew to watch from school to school, whichever they wanted to use, but they had to wait until the summer vacation when the students were off. .

This is of course no problem, just shoot the scenes outside the school first.

Moreover, consumption in small counties is low, He Hua estimated that he could save a lot of money, which is not bad!

Here He Hua is happy for saving money, while Yu Yang is happy for spending the money.

At the beginning of the month, after Yu Yang and He Hua met Zhang Runhua of Feimo Yuanli in Deep Z, he asked professionals to evaluate the value of Feimo Yuanli. After repeated negotiations, Lighthouse Animation bought Feimoyuan at a price of 200 million Zhang Runhua also took advantage of the opportunity to join the lighthouse animation.

After Lighthouse swallowed Zhang Runhua's team, it has a certain technical support in [-]D animation production, but it is still far from the plan formulated by He Hua.

So while waving money, Yu Yang painted big cakes and recruited recruits in the industry.

Either poaching people with high salaries, or taking the whole team away together, it took more than 300 million yuan in just one month, and the team has grown from more than ten people at the beginning to hundreds of people now.

One month's salary is close to 50 yuan, which makes He Hua's head big.

But this also let the entire animation industry know the existence of Lighthouse Animation.

Taking advantage of the free time during this period, He Hua immediately started his own plan.

He first registered the story scripts of "Big Hero Marines" and "Crazy Zootopia" and the big white, gray rabbit, red fox, African buffalo, and three-toed tree with the Hollywood Screenwriters Association, the Animation Association, and the Great Beauty Copyright Office through an agency company. Lazy and many other cartoon images.

Then, after getting the registration number, I contacted WMA William Morris Agency through my girlfriend's agent, hoping that they would help me contact Pixar and DreamWorks, and I intend to cooperate with them to develop these two projects.

When Liu Yifei expressed He Hua's meaning to the opposite party, not only the foreigners on the opposite side said "what?" and then said that he was not joking, even Liu Yifei himself had question marks on his face.

She had never heard of such a thing, and she couldn't help touching her boyfriend's forehead with her right hand.

I don't have a fever.

"You tell them, if they can make this project, I will give them a commission of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and if they think I am joking, then I will have to go to CAA China."

"Also, let them take a closer look at the story, and don't pass up the opportunity because of arrogance."

At this moment, Liu Yifei felt that her boyfriend was a sophomore, so childish, she burst out laughing.

He Hua can't help it, he can't just wait quietly for the Hollywood animation company to discover this project, it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

In addition, Beacon Animation is also conducting various show operations, including but not limited to inviting Hollywood animation film production teams to come here for training, paying people to study there, etc., trying to attract their attention with the already opened Dabai project.

But after a long time, there is still no good news.

Just when He Hua was very depressed, an accident happened.

In late April, Liu Yifei, who was participating in the script reading of "Those Years", received a call.

"Hey ma'am, I didn't get Disney or DreamWorks, but I got Blue Sky Studios, they're interested in your Zootopia, and I think it's time for us to talk."
