This star’s style is wrong

"Have you read the character introduction?" Fang Xing asked.

"Is it the character 'Zhou Xun'?" Wang Zhenglong was not sure, but he had seen the casting announcement for "White Night" and knew there was such a character.

Moreover, the industry has been saying that "White Night" auditioned many actors, but failed to find a suitable male lead.

"Yes." Fang Xing nodded.

"I have seen it, but I haven't had time to study it in depth. I know he is a criminal police captain." Wang Zhenglong answered truthfully.

"Let's play a lazy detective captain." Fang Xing casually asked for a performance.

Wang Zhenglong paused for two seconds, then began to relax his body, showing a very lazy state, picked up the tea cup, looked carefree, took a sip and asked: "Is this okay?"

Fang Xing was noncommittal and continued: "Suddenly I received a call and there was a case."

Wang Zhenglong took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, swiped the screen and put it to his ear: "Hey! Okay, I'll be there soon. Notify the forensic evidence and protect the scene. I'll be there soon."

After saying that, he stood up hurriedly, grabbed his clothes and started to walk out. After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "You drink first. I have a case to go over. This meal is mine, so don't snatch it from me."

After he finished speaking, he hurried out and walked two steps in the corridor before turning back and asking, "Is everything okay?"

Fang Xing continued: "Suddenly I found a clue pointing to your best brother."

Wang Zhenglong scratched his hair, showing a very irritable look. He struggled internally for a long time, pointed at Fang Xing and said, "If you did it, I don't care who you are, I will definitely arrest you!"

Fang Xing continued: "Finally, it was found out that our good brother did not commit any crime."

Wang Zhenglong sat down, reached out and patted Fang Xing on the back, and said, "Don't blame my brother for checking you. It's my duty. I'll punish myself with three drinks."

Fang Xing added: "Because of the mistakes of our good brothers, the serial murder suspect who has been arrested for ten years escaped and lost his temper."

Wang Zhenglong stood up suddenly, threw the clothes in his hand on the chair, and cursed: "What are you doing for food!"

He rubbed his hair vigorously in annoyance, looking as if he was so upset that he wanted to hit someone.

Fang Xing continued to add information: "Suddenly I thought of a clue that might lead to the suspect, but we have to be quick."

Wang Zhenglong looked startled, stopped grabbing his hair, then stretched out his finger to point to Fang Xing, and said: "The button that the first victim grabbed. Yes! That's right! Everyone, follow me, and let this grandson run away again this time." Yes, my last name is his!"

Fang Xing stood up, stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and said, "I'll pick up the script from the company tomorrow and start filming next Wednesday. Is that okay?"

When Wang Zhenglong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Did I pass the audition?"

"Very good. Let's ask the manager to come with us tomorrow." Fang Xing replied.

"Thank you, Director Fang, thank you, Director Fang." Wang Zhenglong quickly suppressed his inner excitement.

So far, the actors who have played for Fang Xing have won awards, become famous, and taken off.

There is now a consensus in the film and television industry that as long as you can play a role in Fang Xing's drama, you will be at the bottom of the crew with double the salary.

Wang Zhenglong is currently auditioning for the second male lead. Even first-line actors are queuing up to take this role.

If this was an idol drama, most A-list actors would not take it.

However, this is a suspenseful criminal investigation drama. If the second male lead is good, he may even win an award.

Therefore, Wang Zhenglong knew how good this opportunity was, and he was really excited.

…

After finalizing the second male lead, the preliminary preparations for "White Night" have reached the second half.

Casting is still going on, with several supporting roles still to be auditioned.

However, the important roles have been finalized, and the remaining supporting roles are relatively simple.

This evening.

At a party, Fang Xing was invited to be an audience member, and Lin Yingxue happened to be there too.

Lin Yingxue also took the initiative to change places and went to Fang Xing's side, getting closer to chat.

"Director Fang, who is planning a new drama, didn't even send me an audition invitation." Lin Yingxue looked coquettish.

"There is no role suitable for you." Fang Xing replied.

"A guest appearance is okay, too." Lin Yingxue didn't mind a guest appearance at all.

In the drama "White Night", the female character with the most roles is "Zhou Shutong", and the rest is the female forensic doctor "Gao Yanan".

"Zhou Shutong" needs to play a college student who has just graduated from the police academy.

"Gao Yanan" is a professional female forensic doctor. She is also the girlfriend of Guan Hongyu, the hero's brother, and is pregnant with Guan Hongyu's child.

Therefore, for the role of "Gao Yanan", we need to find an actress who is thirty years old and relatively intellectual.

Lin Yingxue happens to be in the middle of the two roles, neither of which is suitable.

In fact, if she had to play, she could play "Zhou Shutong", but this role does not require a first-line actress.

After all, the producer's duty is to use the least amount of money to produce the best results.

Lin Yingxue's current salary is already upwards of 25 million. It is not worthwhile to spend such a salary to play a role suitable for a new actor.

It is true that the scenes in "White Night" mainly belong to male actors, so there is not much room for female actors to perform.

"It's okay to have a guest appearance, whatever your agency says." Fang Xing didn't mind having her make a guest appearance.

"The contract should not be renewed. I'm going to open a studio. The director will take care of me in the future." Lin Yingxue didn't mind revealing the news to Fang Xing.

Lin Yingxue's agency is Qianhong Entertainment, and her agency contract expires in two months.

Previously, Lin Yingxue signed a five-year contract and received only 20% of the share.

This share ratio is considered a relatively normal share ratio in the entertainment industry.

Generally speaking, the shorter the contract period, the lower the share ratio.

If you are willing to sign a 10-year contract of sale, the share ratio can be negotiated to be higher, and the share ratio can even be increased in the following years.

However, Lin Yingxue only signed a five-year management contract, so the share ratio is naturally only 20%.

For newcomers who are not well-known, it would be great if a company is willing to support them.

Of course, strictly speaking, Lin Yingxue's popularity has little to do with her agency.

Lin Yingxue became famous because she acted in "Wulin Gaiden", "The Pretender" and "Hurry".

The three dramas directly elevated Lin Yingxue to the level of a first-line actress.

Of course, Lin Yingxue also filmed other dramas during this period, and there were one or two that were small hits, but none of them achieved higher results than these three.

After all, the three dramas are all drama kings. If you want to produce a drama that performs better than these three dramas, no one in the entertainment industry dares to guarantee it.

The conflict between Lin Yingxue and Qianhong Entertainment was actually buried very early.

When Fang Xing was filming "The Beginning", Lin Yingxue had just become famous for her role in "The Legend of Martial Arts", and she really wanted to take on the role of the female lead in the drama "The Beginning".

However, at that time, Fang Xing filmed "The Beginning" to bring Lu Xiang'er's investment and make money to pay for Dachuan Audio's loan.

Therefore, the investment in "The Beginning" cannot be too large. The larger the investment, the more serious Lu Xiang'er's investment will be diluted.

This made Fang Xing very hard on the salary when filming "The Beginning".

If Lin Yingxue wanted to act, the pay would be broken.

In fact, Lin Yingxue wanted to act, but Qianhong Entertainment disagreed. After all, the salary was too high and she couldn't make much money.

At that time, Fang Xing had only filmed one film, "Wulin Gaiden".

Although "Wulin Gaiden" is very popular, one drama cannot prove anything.

"The Beginning" is another subject that Fang Xing has never filmed before, so Qianhong Entertainment does not believe that "The Beginning" will be a hit. Even if it is, it will only be a small hit.

At that time, "Pillow Sin", which was being produced by Red Film and Television, also wanted Lin Yingxue to be the heroine, and offered a premium salary.

"Pillow Sin" is also a popular theme with two male protagonists. With the support of two top actors, it looks more promising than "The Beginning" no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, Qianhong Entertainment finally forced Lin Yingxue to take the role of "Pillow Crime".

result.

The two dramas started airing on the same schedule, and "Pillow Sin" was rubbed on the ground by "The Beginning".

"The Beginning" became a hit, earning both fame and fortune.

"Pillow Sin" was a hit. The two male protagonists are top-notch actors and have strong fans.

It's definitely not their brother's fault that the series is on the block, it's definitely the fault of Lin Yingxue, a "sexy bitch".

As a result, "Pillow Sin" was not only released on the street, but Lin Yingxue was also chased and scolded by two top fans for more than half a year.

It wasn't until Lin Yingxue took on "The Pretender" that her popularity rose again.

Finally, relying on the phenomenal popularity of "Hurry Up", Lin Yingxue became a first-line actress in one fell swoop, and was even nominated for the Eagle Award.

Most recently, when Fang Xing was filming "Dark Glory", Lin Yingxue also wanted to act.

However, the heroine of "Dark Glory" has been confirmed to be the queen Song Li early on, so Lin Yingxue has no way to compete, and only the second female lead is possible.

However, the second female lead is a villain whom everyone hates, vicious and despicable.

Qianhong Entertainment felt that this was not in line with Lin Yingxue's acting style and was worried that it would affect Lin Yingxue's future roles, so they did not agree with her acting in "Dark Glory".

result.

Guan Shuxi, who played the second female lead in "Dark Glory", won the Golden Eyebrow Award for Best Supporting Actress for this role.

Moreover, "Dark Glory" has become popular both domestically and abroad. During the broadcast period, it ranked first in the charts, and even won the ratings championship in the second round of follow-up broadcasts.

Qianhong Entertainment refused to let Lin Yingxue take on the role of "Dark Glory". As a result, "Dark Glory" became ridiculously popular and even swept last year's Golden Eyebrow Awards.

When Lin Yingxue thought of this, she felt heartbroken.

If she had taken over the second female lead in "Dark Glory", she might have been the one to receive the award.

Every time Qianhong Entertainment objected to Lin Yingxue taking on Fang Xing's drama, the drama ended up becoming a hit, and she became the one who was hurt the most.

With so many conflicts accumulated, Lin Yingxue really didn't want to renew her contract.

Even the conditions for opening Qianhong Entertainment are among the best in the entertainment industry.

In order to renew the contract, Qianhong Entertainment directly increased the share ratio to 50%, and there was even a guarantee.

Not only that, Qianhong Entertainment also promised to open a studio for Lin Yingxue, and Lin Yingxue had the final say on any job she took.

This renewal condition is a standard contingent contract.

But Lin Yingxue still didn't want to renew the contract. After all, she couldn't get back what she missed, and she didn't want anything to happen again in the future.

"We broke up?" Fang Xing asked.

"No, it's a peaceful breakup." Lin Yingxue didn't argue with Qianhong Entertainment, she just didn't want to renew her contract.

As for whether Qianhong Entertainment will take the initiative to start a fight, I don’t know.

After all, in the entertainment industry, there are some brokerage companies that have dirty information about their artists, specifically to control the artists.

Fang Xing did not understand the conflict of interests between Lin Yingxue and Qianhong Entertainment, so he would not interfere in their affairs.

"Your contract hasn't ended yet. Even if you make a guest appearance, your agency will have to sign the contract." Fang Xing said.

"It doesn't matter, I'll ask the agency to send someone over to sign it. I can also shoot first, without any salary, just as a friendly guest appearance. There shouldn't be any contract disputes. If there is a problem in the end, just cut the scene." Lin Yingxue mainly doesn't want the salary. .

The cameos are basically friendly ones, some are paid, some are not.

Even if the film is paid, it is basically worth tens of thousands.

If Lin Yingxue makes a guest appearance in "White Night" and wants to be paid, Qianhong Entertainment will definitely have to sign a contract, and the salary will go to Qianhong Entertainment's account.

Lin Yingxue and Qianhong Entertainment have conflicts, and that is between them.

Remuneration for filming still has to be based on the contract.

However, if Lin Yingxue didn't want a penny of the pay and was just a friendly guest star, then she wouldn't have to pay the bills, and there would be nothing to do with Qianhong Entertainment.

Of course, if Qianhong Entertainment really breaks up, there may still be trouble.

"Okay, then you can come." Fang Xing was not afraid of Qianhong Entertainment causing trouble.

Now that Ark Culture has become a giant company in the entertainment industry, if Qianhong Entertainment insists on looking for trouble, then it is really asking for trouble.

Two days passed.

Hong Changbin, the artist director of Qianhong Entertainment, personally took people to Ark Culture, holding Fang Xing’s gloves and saying:

"Hello Director Fang, I am Hong Changbin from Qianhong Entertainment. I particularly admire Director Fang's talent."

Fang Xing said a few casual words and prepared to ask his assistant to deal with him.

Hong Changbin continued to laugh and said: "Director Fang, I'm here to sign Yingxue's film contract. Yingxue said that this time it will be a friendly guest appearance and no pay will be required.

"By the way, there are other actors in our company. Director Fang will see if there are any he likes and arrange one or two small roles for them."

As he spoke, he pushed the two young actresses in front of Fang Xing.

When the two young actresses saw Fang Xing, their smiles bloomed like flowers.

These two young actresses have not done much filming yet. If they are really attracted by Fang Xing, they will skyrocket.

Therefore, the expectant expressions on their faces could not be hidden at all.

Fang Xing waved, called his assistant over, and arranged: "Take them to see Director Qian for an audition."

"Here, please." The assistant took them away.

Director Qian is Fang Xing's regular casting director. He has worked with him on four dramas and has a good working understanding.

In terms of casting, Fang Xing will only audition for the main roles himself, while other supporting roles will be handed over to the casting director.

The management contract between Qianhong Entertainment and Lin Yingxue is about to expire, and the renewal is not going smoothly.

As the artist director of Qianhong Entertainment, Hong Changbin was certainly anxious.

However, no matter how anxious he was, he did not dare to offend Ark Culture, let alone Fang Xing.

If he could, he would even kneel down and lick Fang Xing. As long as the actors from Qianhong Entertainment can act in "White Night", he might be able to win the second Lin Yingxue.
