China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 43 Preparation
Zhang Jing thought that He Hua just wanted to find a suitable production team and actors for her script, but she didn't expect that He Hua would directly participate in the investment.

"your company?"

"Yes, my company, Youhua Entertainment."

Zhang Jing looked at He Hua, who was only 20 years old, and felt that the waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead.What are you doing when you are 20 years old?Help others in a foreign trade company.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Jing asked directly: "How much do you want to vote?"

He Hua answered seriously:
"The 300W enhanced script still has the right to adapt, accounting for 30%"

Zhang Jing pondered for a while, and answered the number: "20%, I will take you in."

He Hua shook his head:

"Those outside the circle are called to enter the arena. I am in the play, and I am in the arena."

Zhang Jing leaned back: "Then look for someone who is willing to take you."

He Hua raised his eyebrows, pretending to be indifferent:
"There is always a way to have money, not to mention I have a good book."

"And the most important thing is that I still have a reputation. I don't believe that the name 'He Hua's first script' is not wanted by anyone..."

Zhang Jing thought for a while: "25%, no more."

He Hua still wanted to continue bargaining.

Zhang Jing directly stopped him from speaking:
"As far as this ratio is concerned, we can continue to discuss it. If it fails, forget it. We have other projects in hand, so this one is not bad."

He Hua felt that there was more to talk about, but he was afraid that Zhang Jing would tell the truth, so he hesitated for a moment:
"I want to have some right to make suggestions on the project."

Zhang Jing smiled: "Why, do you have a girlfriend to recommend?"

"Okay, then you can hire a producer."

After that, the two chatted for a few words and left.

Zhang Jing wants to go back to the company to arrange for someone to draft the investment contract.

He Hua seized the time to meet with headhunters and interviews. Although the company only has this project now, he can check with the team, but there must always be someone to handle daily affairs.

In the following week, He Hua interviewed many talents recommended by CIIC, but none of them were very satisfied:
The main reason is that He Hua's requirements are a bit high. The interviewer must have experience in specific project investment and production, and he doesn't like general projects.

Job seekers with such qualifications also look down on He Hua, a small company that has just been established. Many interviewers want to be his agent after chatting with He Hua.

Fortunately, He Hua has not forgotten his original intention: he is here to recruit people to take charge of the company and projects.

But it's not in vain. I hired a senior financial officer to be in charge of the company's finances. He has his own office, and he comes to He Hua's company for half a day every day.

Another thing is to determine the office space. He Hua rented two small unoccupied houses near the school, got someone to repaint the walls, bought some tables and chairs, and officially listed them for business.

He Hua thinks that everything is a start-up now, why do we need such a good environment?Those who can follow their own hard work are the ones who really need to be retained.

In mid-July, after several rounds of negotiations, He Hua formally signed a cooperation agreement accompanied by Yingke lawyers.

This also means that he officially entered the film and television industry.

Soon He Hua took his newly recruited company leader Huang Lan to participate in the preparation of the "Latent" TV series.

Huang Lan used to work in China International Television Corporation, and was involved in the procurement of overseas programs: she selected TV series and sold them, and the performance was very good, but she always heard complaints from customers and hated them:
Why can't the director take a good shot?

How could the screenwriter make the plot so ugly and force us to sell it?

So when Huang Lan saw a front-end creative work, she came to try it out, but she didn't expect to meet her favorite author.

She was excited and excited.

He Hua and Huang Lan chatted for a long time, from the novel at the beginning, to Huang Lan complaining about the bitterness she encountered while selling dramas, to the future career planning.

Although Huang Lan has no work experience, He Hua decided to let her try.

After all, he has a master's degree in economics and has downstream sales experience, so maybe he can succeed.

At the preparatory meeting, Zhang Jing took the lead in speaking:

"Has the hero and heroine thought about it?"

Jiang Wei wiped his eyes with paper:
"The initial selection is Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yuanyuan. There are also backup candidates: Sun Honglei and Yao Chen."

Waiting for the opinions of Zhang Jing and Zhang Hongzhen after speaking

Zhang Jing did not make a decision, she respected the main creative team of the project:
"You keep talking."

"Sun Honglei was mentioned by Xiao He. I think his aura is too strong, so I'd better contact Xin Baiqing and his wife first, and call them to try again if there is any problem."

Zhang Jing nodded: "Yes."

He turned his head and gestured for He Hua to talk about his opinion.

He Hua hesitated for a while, without incident:
"I'm fine."

He and Jiang Wei had discussed this issue for a long time before. He Hua had watched the TV series "Latent" and thought Sun Honglei and Yao Chen played well, but he couldn't explain the reason.

And Jiang Wei's reasons are even more sufficient. Xin Baiqing's intellectual temperament is really suitable for Yu Zecheng's role, and Zhu Yuanyuan is even more famous for his acting skills.

He Hua couldn't talk to him, so he had to compromise, but he didn't give up, maybe Xin Baiqing and the others didn't have time!

Jiang Wei didn't know what He Hua was thinking at this time, so he continued to discuss:

"There are no big scenes in this show, and the actors' salaries are not high. Fifteen million yuan should be enough. I will work with Xiao He on the storyboard as soon as possible. If everything goes well, it is expected to start in mid-August."

Huang Lan sat next to He Hua, holding a small notebook, listening and taking notes.

Hearing this, Zhang Jing smiled and said:
"Okay, then we can arrange the audition for the role now. Leave the trivial matters to me and Xiao Huang, you hurry up and decide on the actors, Hong Zhen and I will go to the shooting location, and send photos for you to choose."

"Well, there is basically no need to change the script, and the shooting plan can also be arranged by someone."

He Hua and Huang Lan participated in the behind-the-scenes production for the first time, and basically listened to the whole process, but this is the only way to grow.

After the preparatory meeting, Jiang Wei sent the script to Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yuanyuan, and called them, hoping that they could play the male lead Yu Zecheng and the female lead Cuiping.

Fortunately, Xin Baiqing, after filming Snow Wolf, he was in a state of having nothing to do. He honed his acting skills on the stage of the drama every day, and agreed to read the script when he received a call.

Zhu Yuanyuan can't do it anymore. At this time, Zhu Yuanyuan is on fire, and she is invited to participate in many dramas. She is also filming "Glory Years" directed by Gao Xixi. She can't get away, so she can only refuse Jiang Wei.

But Jiang Wei wasn't worried. After Xin Baiqing finished reading the script, he asked Xin Baiqing to persuade him.

Then he started looking for actors for the main roles:

Li Ya, this Li Ya, Zu Feng is quite suitable, we will meet and talk to him tomorrow.

Wu Jingzhong, this webmaster is very scheming, you can ask Mr. Feng Enhe to try it out, yes, let him try the villain, that's all.

Others don't have a clue for the time being, so you can let it go for a while.

Tomorrow I will ask Xiao He if there is any recommended actor.
