Hexagonal God

Chapter 361: Recruiting troops and starting filming

When Lin Shiyun and several other actors who were in attendance, as well as members of the Empress of China crew, heard the news, they almost dropped their jaws in shock.

Shen Yourong tightly grasped Lin Shiyun's hand: "Sister Lin! You're going to be famous! The superheroes of the Avengers will come to play supporting roles for you!"

An Feifei also clenched her fists excitedly. The starting point of their TV series was too high.

With the participation of superheroes, will this TV series be broadcast overseas as well?
Will they become world-famous figures by then?
I have to say that this possibility definitely exists.

At this moment, she was extremely grateful for the choice she had made before, staying close to Tang Mei and Su Mo, and staying with them throughout several storms of public opinion.

I didn’t watch those little bitches at Beijing Film Academy. When they found out that Su Mo was going to film a TV series, several of them got roles and regretted it so much that their intestines turned green.

Some shameless people still want to stick to it, but this circle no longer accepts them.

You ran away when public opinion was unfavorable to Su Mo, and now that you are famous you want to come back. There is no such good thing in the world.

Although other people in this circle did not get the role, they still have hope, while others have no hope at all.

The other people in the crew were also extremely surprised, and some senior people even immediately judged that the wind direction was about to change again.

All the Avengers are participating in the show, who wouldn’t want to become familiar with Captain America, Black Widow, and Scarlet Witch in the show?

From then on, it was no longer Su Mo looking for actors, but the actors coming to find Su Mo.

Sure enough, not even a few minutes after Su Mo, who looked calm and composed, had finished his meal, the phone started ringing non-stop.

"Hello, Su Shen. I'm Mr. Chen Jianbo's agent. He wanted me to ask you if the actor for the role of Li Shimin has been chosen. If not, he'd like to take the role. The salary is negotiable. You can pay whatever you want. I promise there will be no bargaining."

"Hello, Su Shen, I'm Mr. Zhao Youting's agent. May I ask if you've finalized the role of Li Zhi? Mr. Zhao Youting is currently on a break and has plenty of time to participate in a major production. Which drama are you talking about? That's not important. As long as you give me the nod, I can make the decision to promote him right now."

"Su Shen, I'm Qinglan's agent. Could you tell me about the role of Queen Wang?"

Similar calls came one after another. Su Mo didn't say yes or no, but just informed them that they could come to Hengdian for the audition, but as soon as possible because there were a lot of people coming.

The stars who got the news immediately put down all their work and most of them rushed over today.

Go slower, it will definitely arrive before noon tomorrow.

Su Mo answered the phone for a while, then called Liu Nian, who had arrived here last night.

"Arrange a car. I'll have them send the flight information to your phone. You'll be responsible for picking me up at the airport today."

"A good boss will not waste time."

"Prepare a few more cars, there might be too many people."

"I see. Then do we need to pay for the stars' airfare and accommodation?"

"No need for that, let them take care of it themselves."

Su Mo didn't want to bear so much burden. These people were just changing with the wind. He could accept them joining the crew, but it was unnecessary for them to act like big shots in front of him.

There are no big names in his crew, and those in the Avengers are not big names either. The biggest star is himself.

For the next two days, Su Mo was recruiting actors.

For an ordinary crew, selecting actors is a very troublesome task.

Not only do you have to consider acting skills, but you also have to consider the various complex relationships in the circle.

Who is behind so-and-so, and who is above so-and-so.

We need to consider who will bring in funds and whose schedule will be affected.

It becomes very simple when it comes to Su Mo.

Some of the actors were even the same as those in his memory, and their acting skills were fine, so he could cast them directly.

There is no need to bring any funds here, Su Mo's money is more than enough.

No one should try to use connections, because even if you do, you won’t be given face. After all, Su Mo’s friends are not mainly in the entertainment industry.

As long as the one is suitable, we will decide on it immediately and sign the contract.

Don't tell me about your schedule or anything like that. If you can't make it, just leave.

There are many things that happen when you don’t have anyone around and no one comes, but now that it’s suddenly become popular, everyone is rushing to come.

The so-called collective boycott has now become a joke.

Those who didn't speak at the time were fine, but those who spoke and mocked others now have swollen faces.

You don't have to come, but for the sake of your future, fame and fortune, others will not listen to you.

So Su Mo's side is moving very fast, with dozens of actors signing contracts every day.

Su Mo has been keeping an eye out these past two days to see if there are any suitable talents who can be directly signed to Su Tang Pictures.

Two of them surprised Su Mo the most.

One of them is Ju Jingyi, the girl who held up a sign for Sichuan Conservatory of Music at the sports meeting of Sichuan University.

This girl came to Hengdian purely because she admired Su Mo, and was ready to audition for a minor role.

After seeing him, Su Mo did not agree immediately, but gave her a contract.

Ju Jingyi was so excited to see that she could sign a contract with Su Tang Films that she signed her name without even reading the contents of the contract.

The actress who would later be known as the most beautiful woman in four thousand years came to Su Tang Film Company in a daze.

Although Su Mo does not agree with this title, it will not prevent her from becoming famous in the future.

Su Mo didn't care how many people called her hypocritical in the future. As long as there was no major problem, everything would be fine. Another actor was recommended by Zaza.

Zaza wanted to play a role, but she had signed with another crew before and couldn't make it due to schedule issues, so Su Mo didn't ask her to come.

The main purpose of a drama with a strong female lead is to highlight the female lead. Lin Shiyun’s appearance is definitely good enough, but she is only on the same level as Zaza. If these two people get together, it is not a good thing for the female lead.

Su Mo was even more surprised when he saw the newcomer recommended by Zaza.

Fat Di, who is the same age as Zaza and comes from the frontier.

For many years to come, Pang Di will be the traffic queen with countless fans.

Although her works are not that great, it does not prevent her from becoming popular, even abroad.

Some Chinese people do not really recognize her beauty. Her beauty is more three-dimensional and more in line with the aesthetics of Europe and the United States. She has been selected as one of the most beautiful faces in the world in foreign selection activities many times.

However, in Su Mo's system evaluation, Pang Di's appearance is 95.

Her appearance is also very high. When Su Mo saw Pang Di, he did not give her a role, but gave her a contract.

At this time, Pang Di had already starred in a TV series, but the response was mediocre and he was not well-known, so he had not officially signed with any company.

Zaza recommended her to come here, and she came immediately because Su Mo was also her idol.

My idol is really handsome, and his smile is so warm. He gave me the contract without saying anything. I’m so happy!

Pang Di signed the contract very happily. Although he didn't say much, his eyes were shining when he looked at Su Mo, which was exactly the mentality of a fan seeing his idol.

Su Mo glanced at her 50-point favorability and sighed slightly in his heart.

There are really too few perfect places. It would be better if there were twenty places.

In addition to these two people, Su Mo also found a new singer.

Zhou Sen.

At this time, Zhou Sen looked like a silly boy. He was not tall and looked a little shy.

He was completely confused when he got here. He only knew that on his way out to buy a box lunch, he met someone who claimed to be from Su Tang Films and asked him if he wanted to sing.

Of course Zhou Sen had a dream of becoming a musician. After he answered that he wanted to sing, the man asked for his ID card and booked a flight for him to Jinhua.

Knowing that he was going to Su Tang Film Studio, Zhou Sen looked at the flight information on his mobile phone for a long time, and finally decided to give it a try. Maybe this person was not a liar.

So he didn't buy a box lunch, but ate it on the plane.

After getting off the plane, I was picked up and met Su Mo in a daze, and then signed the singer contract given by Su Tang Film.

Su Mo told him to hone his singing skills, and the company would arrange a team for him, package him, train him, and let him participate in domestic music talent shows at the latest after the new year.

Zhou Sen was so moved that he almost burst into tears for Su Mo on the spot. It had always been his dream to enter the music industry, but he never imagined that it would come true so soon.

In this way, Su Mo's film company grew rapidly and continued to recruit people.

Two days passed, and by noon on the third day, the cast and crew of The Empress of China was finalized.

Then Su Mo posted on Weibo, and Su Tang Films also released the cast and crew list on its official Weibo account.

Among them are many domestic first-line actors and some popular actors.

Nearly half of the people are still from the original crew.

For example, Zhou Haimei plays Concubine Yang and Zhang Xinyu plays Concubine Xiao Shufei.

But the emperor has changed. The actor who plays Li Shimin this time is Mr. Chen Jianbo, who has also become a professional in playing the emperor recently.

The male lead this time is Zhao Youting, and Concubine Wei is changed from Zhang Ting to An Feifei.

Li Mu was originally played by Li Guang, but this time he was replaced by Huang Zitao.

The actress who plays Xu Hui is still Zhang Junning, and the actress who plays Queen Wang is the future Queen Fucha Qinglan.

Su Mo vaguely remembered that the TV series eventually earned about 400 million yuan.

But the investment at that time was not as much as mine, and the bulk of the money was earned by the leading actor.

Although Su Mo's investment this time is huge, the actors' pay is very low.

Of course, this low is relative, because the leading role has almost zero cost, and Su Mo still paid the other supporting roles at normal prices without deliberately exploiting them.

But if they saved on the lead role, there would be a huge bill to pay, and it would be such a sensation that if the money earned didn't double compared to what Su Mo remembered in his dream, it would be a failure.

December 10th is the day when Su Tang Drinking Water Branch goes online for sales.

The sales situation of Fairy Cold Spring, which was originally in short supply, has finally eased and can basically meet the domestic market.

In addition to major supermarkets, small supermarkets also have purchasing channels and can put Fairy Cold Spring on the shelves.

Su Tang Drinking Water also has the ability to ship water overseas. After all, after the free advertising from the superheroes, Su Tang Drinking Water has become famous internationally.

This day was also the day when the crew of The Empress of China started filming and auditioning.

There was no real scene to shoot, the entire cast was present, including the Avengers trio who came from abroad.

So the crew officially started filming, and more than a hundred actors gathered in front of the imperial palace in the ancient city of Chang'an. Su Mo occupied the C position, and Lin Shiyun was next to him. Everyone changed into costumes and took a group photo.

The filming of The Empress of China has officially started, and the ancient city of Chang'an has officially opened for business!

　Today is the second update, and I will think about the next plot.
