"Yuan Yu?"

Liu Heping pushed his resume to the middle-aged man sitting next to him, stretched out his finger and focused on the "affiliated unit" on the resume.

This is the apartment where the crew of "Beiping" audition is located.

The girl who was waiting for the interview outside was affiliated with the People's Art Theater, and was Xu Rong's colleague.

Liu Heping lit a cigarette and asked, "Have you heard of this girl?"

Kong Sheng carefully looked at the photo for a moment, but did not find any impression in his mind. He gently shook his big head and said, "No, but the image looks pretty good."

While looking at the resume, he asked, "By the way, has the script been reviewed?"

"No news yet." Liu Heping didn't seem to care much about this, "but Xu Rong said that he had already said hello, so the problem should not be big."

"Oh, the policies are getting stricter now, and with the current storm, I'm afraid..."

The review issue is the main reason why "Beiping" could not attract investment in the early days. Before Xu Rong entered the market, private film and television companies did not dare to touch them at all. On the one hand, the possibility of profit was very small, and secondly, the characters involved were too sensitive, especially the portrayal of several of them. After evaluating, many film and television companies believed that the risks were far higher than the returns.

By the time Xu Rong took over, the threshold for allocation of promotional and distribution resources of up to tens of millions once again discouraged many film and television companies.

The current total investment of "Beiping" is 50 million, and if other companies want to get involved, they must match an additional 10 million in publicity and promotion to enter.

In Xu Rong's opinion, this is a very cost-effective deal for other film and television companies, because he and a few major actors alone saved 50 million yuan.

The threshold of ten million is simply too cost-effective.

If you don't consider making money.

What Kong Sheng mentioned is the "storm" that casting is the cause of casting.

Since the casting of the crew of "No War in Peking" has attracted the attention of most film and television actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the Three Lands.

To the outside world, Liu Heping has always claimed that the investment in "Beiping" is 200 million, and many actors and TV stars have joined.

In addition to the preparation of "Ming Dynasty 1566", at the beginning of casting, the apartment was like an award ceremony, with stars, artists and actors.

But for this reason, the crew fell into huge controversy not long after the casting began.

Discriminate against Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.

Liu Heping felt that he was quite unfair. He had no idea of ​​discriminating against anyone at all, but he was not speaking standard in Mandarin. Why are you doing?

Was you scolded by your boss while waiting to go back to take a photo?

Besides, actors who do not use Mandarin are not standard are requests made by Xu Rong.

At first, Liu Heping did not understand the reason, but as Hualu's "The Wife" sold in Southeast Asia and Africa, he completely understood the reason.

After all, Xu Rong was still unwilling to do a loser deal.

Since the domestic market is sure to lose money, we should target foreign markets at the beginning of the project.

Dubbing does not affect the export of film and television works, but affects the awards!

He guessed that Xu Rong was planning to win several awards overseas with the intention of "Beiping".

In addition, he has established his popularity and reputation overseas with "The Wife", once "Pei Ping" can reproduce the overseas broadcast of "The Wife", it will not only make up for the money, but also consolidate his popularity abroad.

In the TV series market, film and television companies generally do not value the influence of actors abroad, but the film market is completely different. For example, Jackie Chan and Jet Li, the reason why investors can offer such high pay is because in addition to the markets of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions, they also have considerable appeal overseas.

Xu Rong's move probably also has the purpose of laying the foundation for further rise in the film market.

Liu Heping said to the director's assistant standing at the door: "Let me come in and take a look."

At this time, Yuan Yu was also quite nervous. After just one month of experience life yesterday, Jin Fangfang informed her to come here for an interview today.

She felt like she was dreaming about what happened recently. She did nothing and inexplicably won Xu Rong's favor.

First, his agent found himself and wanted to sign a ten-year long appointment with him. In just two weeks, he asked himself to come to the crew of "Beiping" for an interview.

As an actor who has acted in two TV series, she is not unfamiliar with the title of "Beiping".

A super blockbuster produced by Xu Rong Studio and written by Liu Heping, starring Xu Rong, Chen Baoguo and others, a super blockbuster that is known as the "luxury battleship" by the industry.

She hesitated for a long time while making her resume last night and finally deleted the information of "Agent Company: Xu Rong Studio".

Before that, she heard that the interview in "Beiping" was very strict, which means that the professional ability of the actors participating in the role must be the best in the entire industry.

She was unwilling to ruin herself by an optional opportunity.

Just like the great success of "The Founding of the Party" this year, although it has both box office and reputation, it is essentially at the cost of the decline of a group of young actors.

Some of the actors with a slightly inferior level have become jokes after dinner with their peers.

On the other hand, she doesn't want to be said to be in through relationships, although if she does that, she will definitely be able to participate.

For the time being, she is not short of money and does not have too high pursuits for material life. She is content with the current situation and regards love as a job. She does not have much pressure. When she has the chance, she will shoot TV series, movies, and earn some extra money. If she doesn’t have the chance, she will be honest in the yard.

She entered the door and subconsciously frowned. The smell of smoke in the room was a little pungent.

She knew both of them sitting. She looked neither tall. One was big and the other was small. Liu Heping, who had a small head, said: "Let me introduce myself first."

"Hello Teacher Liu, hello Director Kong, my name is Yuan Yu. I am now working in the People's Art Theater, and I have filmed two TV series..."

The moment Yuan Yu entered the door, Liu Heping and Kong Sheng focused their attention on her.

If the outside world speculation was taken, the chances of this actress being selected were very small, because they had never heard of her at all, and she had no advantage over her competitors.

However, the affiliated unit on their resume made the two of them unable to make up their minds.

During the audition period, there were not no actors from the Humanities Art Theater audition, but after communicating with Xu Rong once, Liu Heping felt relieved. Although he could not serve the same thing in one bowl, he would not take special care of him.

Because Xu Rong gave him the right words, he couldn't make any money anyway, so it would be better to honestly shoot a fine product.

After a large number of interviews, the two also figured out the general situation. The strength of the People's Art Theater actor lies in his solid business ability, and the disadvantage lies in his screen appeal.

But appeal is optional, and for the several main characters that have been preliminarily determined, there is no shortage of appeal.

After Yuan Yu finished introducing the article, Liu Heping asked with a smile: "You are Teacher Xu's colleague, right? I haven't seen Teacher Xu for a while. What has he been busy with recently?"

"I heard him say he wanted to write a biography to the old seniors in our yard."

Liu Heping nodded gently, and Yuan Yu's words revealed some information. Judging from the title and her movements about Xu Rong, she should be very familiar with Xu Rong.

Kong Sheng pulled out an A4 paper and said, "This is a brief introduction to the characters. Look, let's take a look later."

In another room with equipment, Wang Jinsong, Zu Feng and Wang Kai sat around a round table.

“To three.”

"Two two."

Wang Jinsong looked at the crackling two people being thrown by Wang Kai, his eyes straightened. You guy, are you going to die?

Wang Jinsong and Zu Feng were very idle at home recently and came to play for the crew, while Wang Kai was brought to "jobs" by Kong Sheng.

Wang Jinsong and Zu Feng come from time to time, while Wang Kai is rooted in the apartment.

According to Kong Sheng, after working for so long, even if there is no credit, there will always be hard work. In addition, as a director, it should be fine to play a major role at that time.

Yuan Yu looked at the lines in her hand and breathed a little relieved: a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who is favored by her parents and brothers, innocent and a little childish.

Use the lines at will.

These requirements were not difficult for her.

Liu Heping and Kong Sheng led Yuan Yu in, and Wang Jinsong spilled the poker in his hand into the cards he had already played and said, "Don't play, don't play, start work."

Zu Feng smiled, and Wang Kai felt a little uncomfortable. This card he must win, but Wang Jinsong was too good at cheating.

Kong Sheng pointed at Wang Kai and said, "Just think Wang Kai is your brother, and you can do whatever you want."

Then he turned his head and said to the three of them: "Old rules."

Yuan Yu nodded gently, and after a few seconds, he looked at Wang Kai. His eyes were bent, his voice was like a lark, and he said happily: "Brother, why are you here?"

Wang Kai looked worried and pointed at Wang Jinsong and said, "Our uncle, my uncle can't do it anymore. I'll come and see him off."

Wang Jinsong had no choice but to cooperate with the two of them and tilted on the sofa.

"Ah?" Yuan Yu's surprise quickly faded away. After looking at Wang Jinsong for a second or two, he forced a smile, "Brother, you must be joking with me, right?"

Wang Jinsong didn't intend to say anything, but when he saw the smile that disappeared from her face and forced out, he waved to Yuan Yu and said, "Child, come here."

......

"alright."

Kong Sheng shouted and looked at Yuan Yu in surprise, and asked, "Do you have an agency?"

"have."

When Liu Heping heard this, his face showed a little unhappiness: "Why didn't you write it on your resume?"

"My agency is Xu Rong Studio."

Liu Heping's unhappiness froze on his face. In a flash, he smiled again and said with a haha: "Hi, it turns out that the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. It's understandable, and the feelings are understandable."

At this point, he still didn't understand that this little girl named Yuan Yu was from Xu Rong.

Kong Sheng couldn't help feeling a little regretful and said, "Then you go back and wait for news."

Yuan Yu hurriedly bowed to the people in the room and thanked: "Okay, thank you Teacher Liu, Director Kong, and thank you three teachers too."
