The conspicuous bag in China Entertainment Taohuawu

Chapter 110 Fixed Angle
After taking Zhou Xi to meet his parents, Chen Xinghe has been busy with the preliminary preparations for "Dafeng Watcher" these days.

This book itself has great influence, and it is currently one of the best works on the Seven Points Chinese website.

At present, the only ones that can compete with it are "The Nomenclature of the Night" and Chen Dongda's "The Other Side of Deep Space". However, the adaptation of these two books is too difficult. Although Chen Xinghe also likes to read it, he has not read it. Adapted into a TV series.

Adapting men's online novels has always been a difficult problem. The scenes of fantasy and fairy tales are too big, and there are too many minefields in urban themes. History is a relatively easy subject.

Although the book "Da Feng Watchman" is also a fairy tale drama, the good thing is that the scene at the beginning is not that big, which is very suitable as the beginning of the first season, and with today's special effects technology, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can use it later The big scenes in several seasons can also be done well.

This is very similar to "Celebrating More Than Years". The reason why Xinli Media invested in it was because of this.

Moreover, "Swordsman in the Snow" starring Chen Xinghe's good friend Zhang Ruoyun will be broadcast soon, and everyone can also take a look at the general market response.

Most of the TV series Chen Xinghe has played since his debut have been of the type that male audiences like to watch. However, most of the TV series he played before were supporting roles, and the only leading role, He Ziqiu, also belongs to the type of urban family.

This drama is a male-led drama through and through. The entire story is basically through the protagonist Xu Qi'an as the core perspective. Since the news came out, everyone has great expectations for Chen Xinghe's performance in film and television dramas other than variety shows.

The novel "Da Feng's Watcher" has been completely finished. According to Chen Xinghe's plan, Chen Xinghe plans to adapt this novel into four seasons.

The first season is the end of the novel Jingcha Fengyun.

The second season is the volume in the novel about the unparalleled heroes of the country.

The third season is about the wandering youth and the competition in the Central Plains.

The fourth season is to become a peerless martial artist and then dominate the world.

Of course, only the first season has been written, and the next three seasons are just planning and preparation. Whether it will be filmed or not will depend on the feedback from the first season. If it fails, Chen Xinghe will naturally not throw money at it.

But if the plan goes well, these four dramas plus the other two copyrighted film and television adaptations plus movies will be enough to keep Chen Xinghe and Canruo Xinghe Studio busy in the next few years.

However, apart from Chen Xinghe, Penguin and Xinli Media are not very confident about Li Jiahe's ability as director. After several discussions, they still plan to find another director who is experienced in fairy tale dramas.

When Li Jiahe found out, he didn't say anything to him. Instead, he comforted Chen Xinghe, who tried to help him but failed in the end, saying that his photography, lighting, styling, and location were top-notch, and he was good at photographing beautiful men and beautiful scenery, but the plot Laying out and controlling rhythm are not his strengths, so he can take this opportunity to learn from the director of this drama.

Chen Xinghe felt relieved now. In fact, to be honest, he himself was a little worried about Li Jiahe's ability. After all, he had never worked with him before, but only listened to Director Guan Hu saying how excellent he was.

In the end, Penguin and Xinli Media came forward to invite Hong Kong-based director Liang Guoguan to direct the drama "The Watcher".

Liang Guoguan has rich experience in directing fantasy dramas. As early as 2000, he directed "I Have a Date with a Zombie". Later, he collaborated with Zhou Yi from the Mainland and filmed "Water Moon Cave", "Legend of the Spirit Mirror", " He has also filmed many fantasy dramas such as "Young King" in recent years, such as "War of Shushan", which are all his works.

Now that the director is in place, all that remains is the choice of actors. "The Watcher" is a key project of Chen Xinghe Studio and Penguin Xinli Media. Chen Xinghe has already pointed out that in addition to the first male lead Xu Qian, this drama is more focused on The group portrait is also a four-part series, so it is not divided according to the role, but depends on the degree of compatibility of the characters, plus the huge investment of this drama.

In addition to the five characters of Xu Qi'an, Princess Lin'an, Wei Yuan, Xu New Year, Zhu Guangxiao, and the basically confirmed Chu Caiwei, the remaining main characters are also very popular, and many companies have used various techniques and ideas. Fortress Man joins the cast of "The Watcher".

Penguin wants to take away the roles of Huaiqing, Nangong Qianrou and Chu Yuanzhen, while Xinli wants more. The roles of Xu Pingzhi, Li Miaozhen, Mu Nanzhi, Wang Simu and Song Yanfeng all belong to them.

Of course, these two companies didn't want it for nothing. Penguin got them a sponsorship, which was advertising in the form of a small theater in the TV series.

Chen Xinghe is also very powerful behind the scenes, because this one advertisement has recouped a lot of investment. Southern Group spent 100 million in sponsorship fees for its product Black Sesame Pills, and asked the crew to shoot a small theater for promotion.

Xinli Media also promised to cover the cost of renting the film and television studio in the future as well as the labor of the crew.

Although they didn't know what they got, Chen Xinghe readily agreed.

With the example of both companies, Chen Xinghe also gave up the idea of ​​open casting. Why not do it in exchange for some resources? Then he went to the company to find Zhao Ting and discussed with her the ownership of all the characters.

In Chen Xinghe's lounge, he got straight to the point and asked Zhao Ting, "Sister Ting, did anyone ask about the character in "Dafeng Watcher"?"

Zhao Ting nodded, "That's too many. Not counting the ones Penguin and Xinli are leaving, there are countless actors who want to participate in other roles."

"Do you think it's possible for us to exchange these characters for some resources or something?"

"That's so unlikely."

Zhao Ting's words directly extinguished Chen Xinghe's enthusiasm, and then she heard her say:
"We are not a big company like Penguin Xinli. Our own resources are currently this TV series. It is unrealistic to exchange for anything. But if you want to get something, you can sign a few actors and train them yourself."

Hearing Zhao Ting's words, Chen Xinghe's eyes lit up. Yes, they didn't know but he knew it. In addition to this "Dafeng Watcher", he also had "Under One Person" and "Bad Person" in his hands. 》These two popular IPs are not afraid that they will not have the resources to train new people.

"Sister Ting, you gave me a good idea. I'm trying to find some good ideas." Chen Xinghe said happily.

Zhao Ting smiled and said, "Will the studio set up an economic department?"

"No, we won't train too many people. Just one male and one female. Sister Ting is hiring a few people, and then there will be two more nanny cars. Let's not talk about other things. I will definitely give them the treatment. Let’s fill it up.”

"Okay, this guy has the final say. They are lucky to have a boss like you."

Just do what you said. As for the good seedling, Chen Xinghe naturally knew where to find him and immediately contacted his teacher Huang Lei.

"Master, do you know the teacher in charge of admissions this year?"

Huang Lei was a little confused when he received Chen Xinghe's call. He didn't understand what he wanted to do, but he was his beloved disciple after all, so he immediately replied, "We know each other."

"That's it. Master, are you in the capital? Can you invite him out? I have something to ask him for help."

"He's in the capital. Let me call him and ask." After Huang Lei finished speaking, he hung up the phone, but he didn't keep Chen Xinghe waiting for too long. Soon Huang Lei called him again.

"Xinghe, it just so happens that Teacher Liu is free today. I have contacted a good place. You can just come in the evening."

"Thank you, Master. I will definitely go to your house to have some food later."

"You brat, hang up now. I'll see you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xinghe was very happy and thanked Huang Lei from the bottom of his heart. It was really not easy for him to help him like this. You can imagine how many people are looking for teachers from Jingdian Admissions Office at this juncture. It was so honorable to come out to meet him. I don't know how much of a favor Huang Lei had done.

At six o'clock in the evening, Chen Xinghe arrived at a very private restaurant at the address given by Huang Lei. Only then did he hear that he was serving two tables of customers a day.

"Long time no see, Master."

As soon as he saw Huang Lei, Chen Xinghe hugged Huang Lei warmly.

Huang Lei patted Chen Xinghe on the back, and then the two of them separated and said to him: "Long time no see Xinghe, let me introduce to you. This is the person in charge of Jingdian Admissions Office. You can just call him Teacher Liu." .”

Chen Xinghe hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Teacher Liu, I am Chen Xinghe and I have just graduated from Jingdian."

Teacher Liu also held Chen Xinghe's hand very politely, "It's hard not to know you if you are so popular now, but you have added a lot of light to Jingdian. As a teacher of Jingdian, I am very proud of you." .”

"Thank you, Teacher Liu, for your compliment. Although it is popular, it is not because of my professional work as an actor. It really makes me feel a little ashamed."

Teacher Liu smiled and said, "Of course it will be a matter of time. I heard that you have recently set up a film crew, and the investment is quite large. Is this the case?"

When Chen Xinghe heard what he said, he realized that this was playing into his own hands. He immediately replied, "Yes, Teacher Liu. This is why I came here today."

"Oh, that's right, let's take your pick." Teacher Liu smiled, as if he already knew Chen Xinghe's purpose, and handed him a list.

Chen Xinghe took it and took a look, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the list contained the freshmen that Jingdian will admit this year.

Just when Chen Xinghe was about to look through it carefully, Huang Lei said to him:
"Xinghe, put those aside first, let's eat first."

Huang Lei's words made Chen Xinghe react. He quickly put the file bag aside, picked up the wine glass and saluted the two of them.

"Master, Teacher Liu, it's me who's a little too arrogant, so I'll punish myself with three glasses of wine." After saying that, he drank three glasses of white wine in a row.

"Hahaha, Old Huang, you are a very interesting student. That's right. Come on, let's not let the students compete. Let's do it."

Huang Lei also smiled, then raised his wine glass and clinked it towards Teacher Liu, "Here you go."

After drinking a glass of white wine, the three of them stopped hiding and started chatting while eating the food.

"Xiao Chen, can I call you that?" Teacher Liu started talking.

"Of course Teacher Liu."

"Then that's what I call you. In the past two years, due to some reasons, many students have fewer opportunities to participate in roles. I would like to ask you to help arrange a few small roles so that your junior brothers and sisters can have a chance. Is it okay to enter this industry?”

Chen Xinghe felt a little ashamed after hearing Teacher Liu's words. He never expected that there would be such a good teacher for his students, and he didn't even teach, he was just responsible for the school's new student recruitment.

After thinking seriously for a while, Chen Xinghe nodded and replied, "No problem, Mr. Liu, my drama is a group drama, not just this season, there will be a second and third season in the future, of course the more important ones. The characters are basically gone, and the remaining characters don’t have many roles, okay?”

"It's already very good. What's missing from the film school students is not the roles, but the stepping stone into this industry. It's already a very lucky thing to have a face and a name."

"That's true. Among the students I have taught over the years, there are many..."

"It's not easy for children, especially those with excellent majors..."

Before Chen Xinghe could speak, Huang Lei took the initiative to pick up the conversation. Seeing the sad looks on the two people's faces while talking, Chen Xinghe did not join the topic and started looking through the list given to him by Teacher Liu.

Girls: Li Linqian, Xu Yuan, Zhang Haolei, Ma Yijing…………

Boys: Zhu Xingyu, Wang Ruiyu, Ding Chengxin...

Looking at these lists, Chen Xinghe selected for a long time and finally decided on two candidates. The girl was Zhang Haolei and the boy was Wang Ruiyu.

After writing down the contact information of the two people, Chen Xinghe returned the list to Teacher Liu, and then joined the drinking party to accompany the two of them.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the banquet ended. Teacher Liu asked for Chen Xinghe's contact information and left with satisfaction after confirming five roles. Huang Lei patted Chen Xinghe on the shoulder and got in the car and left.

Chen Xinghe is naturally satisfied. Although he heard from Teacher Liu that the two have not signed a contract with any agency yet, it is most important to implement this matter as soon as possible.

But it was so late now and it was inappropriate to disturb others. He immediately sent a message to Zhao Ting, told her the two candidates and their contact information, and then went home to rest.

The next morning, when Chen Xinghe arrived at the studio, he got the good news from Zhao Ting that both of them agreed to sign the contract.

To be continued. .
