This star’s style is wrong - Chapter 649

c649 Preparations for a new movie have begun, who will be the leading actor?

morning.

Fang woke up and washed up. As usual, he picked up the electric shaver on the shelf and prepared to shave.

If you usually relax at home, you can skip the shaving process. A little stubble will make you look more manly.

However, when you go to work in the company, it is better to be neat and tidy.

When I pressed the switch to shave, I stopped, looked in the mirror, and reached out to rub the stubble on my chin.

I don’t know since when, but my appearance has indeed become more mature than before.

The little princess Qian Qian is already three years old. It is normal for her to be a more mature father.

If it were before, I would have tidied up a little and looked young and handsome.

However, if you look too young, your acting potential will not be wide.

Therefore, when he usually puts on makeup, Fang Xing does not go into the stylized style of fresh meat. He always asks the makeup artist to make his makeup look as mature as possible.

I was really too young before, so I couldn’t actually mature.

It may be that my mentality has changed in the past two years. I have become much more stable, and with some stubble, the taste is different.

While looking at the mirror in a daze.

Lu Xiang’er came in with a tie, ready to help tie it. When he looked up and saw that his beard was not shaved, he said, “It’s been a long time since I came in. Why haven’t I finished shaving yet? I have to take Qianqian to early education class today, so I have to hurry up.” a little.”

Fang Xing rubbed the stubble on his face and asked, “Wouldn’t it look good to have some stubble?”

Lu Xiang’er rolled her eyes, nodded and said, “It looks good. Everything my husband leaves will look good.”

“It’s getting more and more perfunctory, can it still be done?” Fang Xing complained.

Lu Xiang’er grabbed the tie and hung it around Fang Xing’s neck, stood on tiptoes and gave it a kiss, saying, “Oh, you have to have some confidence in me. You are very handsome in my wife’s heart.”

After coaxing her, she quickly started to tie her tie and said, “But, if you go to work, please tidy up a little to be more polite. How about I make some soap lather for you and shave it with a razor?”

Fang Xing raised his neck and said, “No need, this is the look for today. As an actor, the variety of looks allows for a wider range of acting.”

Lu Xiang’er tied up her tie, took the suit over, stood it up and shook it: “It’s very smooth today. Are you preparing for a new project?”

Fang Xing asked curiously: “Can you guess this?”

Lu Xiang’er laughed and said, “I guess it’s almost time and I should be filming a new movie. Do you want to act in person this time?”

“Yes, consider acting in person.” Fang Xing nodded.

“A movie?”

“Well, movies. From now on, TV series will be shot for Zhang Yigao and the others as much as possible.”

“When will you join the group? Before joining the group, take Qianqian out for a play. Otherwise, you will have to be busy for at least a few months before the movie starts shooting.” Lu Xiang’er suggested.

“Okay, we can arrange where you want to go. You can also ask Qian Qian’s grandparents to go with you.”

Lu Xiang’er thought for a moment and said, “Qianqian saw giant pandas on TV before and really wanted to see them, or go to the zoo.”

“Okay. However, there may be a lot of people in the zoo. How about going on a weekday when there are fewer people.” Fang Xing suggested.

“Okay, the boss doesn’t work on working days.” Lu Xiang’er pursed her lips and complained.

…

After cleaning up, Fang Xing asked the driver to take the mother and daughter to the early childhood education classroom before going to the company.

Not long after arriving in the office, Qiao Yinghong came over with documents to report on her work.

“Boss, Sun Jianqi’s special effects team has signed a one-year short-term contract, and the contract stipulates that their freedom of competition cannot be restricted after resignation.”

Qiao Yinghong put a copy of the contract on Fang Xing’s desk, paused, and then said: “According to the contract, their team will work in our company for one year, and they can leave if they want.

“Since you agreed to this contract requirement, the legal department can only negotiate based on this requirement.

“Actually, this kind of contract is rare in the industry and is very detrimental to us.

“If Sun Jianqi’s team leaves in a year, the technological upgrade of Nebula’s special effects may come to a standstill, and the money will be spent but the technology will not be obtained.”

Fang Xing nodded and said, “I’ve thought about this. Arrange more skilled special effects artists to learn from Sun Jianqi’s team.

“Since I agreed to Sun Jianqi’s request, I must prepare for the changes in one year. He will not object.”

One advantage of dealing with smart people is that everyone’s cooperation is on the surface and no intrigues are involved.

Fang Xing paid a high salary to hire Sun Jianqi’s special effects team and agreed to all his requests. Naturally, he also had to prepare for his possible departure after a year.

Therefore, it is not too much to arrange for special effects artists to join Sun Jianqi’s team to learn techniques.

If Sun Jianqi really decides to leave after a year, it would be best to teach the special effects artists of Nebula Special Effects well, so that at least the upgraded workstations and servers can continue to run.

If Sun Jianqi continues to develop in China in the future, even if he leaves Nebula Special Effects, there will inevitably be cooperation in the future.

If he makes 300 million in Nebula special effects and then leaves with a slap on his face, then his future path will be narrow.

Talents who can lead a special effects team and produce world-class special effects will not be so short-sighted.

Don’t be suspicious when you employ people, don’t use people when you are suspicious.

Fang Xing is still confident about this.

Qiao Yinghong continued: “Also, when negotiating the contract, Sun Jianqi mentioned that 300 million will be invested in Nebula special effects in the first year.

“Although the company’s profits are good this year, the sudden increase in investment of 300 million, and the investment of another 100 million every year in the future, is not small.”

Fang Xing looked up at her, grinned and said, “That’s why I said I have a meeting today.”

Qiao Yinghong understood it as soon as she heard it and said happily: “The boss has a new movie to shoot.”

After so many years in Ark Culture, Qiao Yinghong has become accustomed to her boss’s style of conduct.

There is nothing that cannot be solved by making a movie. If there is, then make another one.

…

Half an hour later.

Ark Culture Conference Room.

Today’s meeting was notified one day in advance, and all department heads in the company must attend.

Fang Xing walked into the conference room, sat down, and went straight to the topic: “Today’s meeting is to announce a new project. All departments of the company are ready to cooperate with the preparation of the new project.”

The management present heard that it was a project announced by the big boss himself, and it must be a key project.

Fang Xing looked around and found that Sun Jianqi was also there.

Sun Jianqi has officially joined Nebula Special Effects as vice president and technical director.

Nebula Special Effects is a subsidiary of Ark Culture. You can also attend such meetings if necessary.

However, it is not necessary for the CEO to come. Cheng Hongru will send someone here according to the needs of the meeting.

This time Sun Jianqi and Cheng Hongru came together.

Fang Xing stood up and said, “Mr. Sun is here, so let me introduce you to everyone. Sun Jianqi has just joined Nebula Special Effects. Welcome to your new colleague.”

Sun Jianqi stood up and waved to greet everyone.

After the introduction, Fang Xing got down to the topic and asked, “The crew has sent a notice that they are ready. We should also contact the Fuhua Dao team.”

The director of the film and television production department asked: “Mr. Fang, what type of new drama is this time? Is it a TV series or a movie?”

Fang Xing replied: “Movie, police movie.”

The director of the film and television production department then asked: “Is it an action scene? It’s hard to make appointments with the martial arts team recently. If you want, you need to contact us in advance.”

Fang Xing thought about it and replied, “There aren’t many action scenes, so there’s no need to find a martial arts team. Contact a familiar martial arts instructor. Then just send a few people to join the team for a few days.”

The Film and Television Investment Department then asked: “What about investment?”

Regarding the investment amount, Fang Xing had already considered it, but had not thought of a specific number. He replied: “The plan is 200 million. The specific amount will be given after the investment department conducts calculations and will give an accurate figure.”

The director of the film and television production department then asked: “How to arrange the script?”

Fang Xing said: “I am preparing the script and will take it out before next week. Then the screenwriting team will polish it again.”

After making these arrangements, Fang Xing looked at Wang Yutao sitting in the corner and asked, “Yutao, do you have a schedule?”

Wang Yutao quickly agreed: “Yes, I have a schedule.”

Fang Xing said, “I want you to help me. I need one person to lead the directing team.”

Wang Yutao quickly agreed: “Yes, I have no problem.”

In fact, in the field of TV dramas, he already has a big hit like “Knowledge”.

Many film and television companies want to find him to film TV series.

Normally, he is already a well-known director and will not continue to be an assistant director.

However, if it was Fang Xing’s request, he would not refuse.

What’s more, this time it’s not a TV series, but a movie.

The only feature film he has made independently is “Ancient Acacia”.

“Do You Know” was co-produced by him and Zhang Yigao.

Since Zhang Yigao has more experience in directing, when he was on the crew, Zhang Yigao was mainly in the lead.

Therefore, Wang Yutao really wants to participate in this movie shooting.

After all, no TV drama director wants to prove himself on the big screen.

So, if there is an opportunity to participate in film production, he is very willing to do so.

After Fang Xing arranged the project preparations, he made a final decision: “If there are no other problems, let’s start preparations for this new project. The new project will be officially announced and open auditions will begin. I will send the role requirements to the casting in a few days. director.”

…

the next day.

Ark Culture officially announced the news of the new project.

Since Ark Culture already has a box-office champion movie like “Crazy Stone”, the announcement of the new movie project immediately attracted the attention of the industry.

In particular, major brokerage companies want to recommend actors to the Ark Culture crew.

Moreover, some entertainment media discovered that Ark Culture’s official announcement of audition requirements lacked audition information for a character.

That is the audition information for the role of the male lead, which has not been announced.

That night.

Some entertainment media published:

[Fang Xing has begun preparations for a new movie. There is no information about the male lead in the casting information. Does it mean that Fang Xing will play the male lead himself? 】

This speculation is not groundless.

Because it’s not news that Fang Xing plays the male lead himself.

In fact.

In all the TV dramas produced by Qian Qianxing, he himself plays the male lead.

If it were a TV series, the industry would not even guess, and would basically assume that the leading actor would be Fang Xingxing.

So much so that many actresses would automatically imagine Fang Xing as their co-star during auditions.

However, in the movie “Crazy Stone”, Fang Xing did not play a major role, but only played a small cameo role, which led to such speculation in the entertainment media.

In fact.

Professors from the acting department who have carefully watched Fang Xing’s roles can tell that Fang Xing’s attitude toward acting has always been to strive for excellence.

Especially in “White Night”, he won the Best Actor trophy for playing two roles with one person.

Therefore, many people in the industry believe that Fang Xing must also want to act in movies.

He didn’t act in the first “Crazy Stone” just because the first movie was a test of the big screen and he didn’t play the male lead himself.

Sure enough, in the second movie, there was no need to audition for the male lead.

The entertainment media captured this information and reported it.

Ark Culture did not deny it. The industry almost accepted that this new movie was directed and starred by Fang Xing.

…

Casting information has just been announced.

Resumes of actors from major agencies and actors’ unions drifted into the mailbox of Ark Culture’s film and television production department like snowflakes.

Electronic and paper versions are piled up on the desks of the film and television production department.

The director team, along with people from the film and television production department, began to screen actors’ resumes. They screened out the resumes that met the role requirements and then handed them to Fang Xing.

Since the role requirements given by Fang Xing were very detailed, this task was not difficult to do, but it was quite time-consuming.

Even after screening, there were not many resumes handed to Fang Xing.

Fang Xing and Wang Yutao, as well as the assistant director and casting director of the crew, conduct a second screening before sending out audition notices.

There are also some actors whose resumes can be handed directly to Fang Xing.

For example, actors who have worked together before, and actors under Ark Culture.

If the role is suitable and you find an actor who has worked with you before, you will naturally have a better understanding.

Of course, there are some actors who do not submit resumes, but if they are willing, they may talk to their agents or casting directors.

When the casting team starts sending out audition invitations.

When Qiao Yinghong reported her work, she put a tea gift box on the table and said, “Boss, Deng Huiling’s agent invited me to tea a few days ago and asked me to bring you a box of tea.”

Fang Xing has walked on the red carpet with Deng Huiling before, but they have not collaborated yet.

At first.

Deng Huiling agreed to cooperate with Shengqi Entertainment and let Jia Haochen play the male lead in “Nowhere to Hide”.

The reason is that Tang Huiling took a fancy to the film resources of Shengqi Entertainment and wanted to enter the big screen.

However, that time “Nowhere to Hide” encountered “Dark Glory”, and its ratings, playback volume, and popularity were all crushed.

Of course, the ratings of “Nowhere to Hide” are not bad, and it is Tang Huiling who is leading the show.

Later, Shengqi Entertainment did fulfill its promise and let Tang Huiling play two movie roles.

However, there was no splash.

It is much more difficult for actresses to succeed on the big screen than for actors.

After all, in the film industry, it is mainly difficult for actors to carry the box office.

This leads to the fact that most actresses are just accessories in movies.

Of course, Deng Huiling’s acting skills are indeed good.

Fang Xing recognized this.

Now, Deng Huiling’s agent invites Qiao Yinghong to tea. In fact, he just wants to test the waters and see if there are any opportunities for cooperation.

Of course, as a queen, Deng Huiling will not show too obvious.

Fang Xing saw the tea leaves, thought for a moment and said, “Thank her for me. Next time you drink tea, you can tell me about your life. If I have time, I will go and taste the tea.”

As soon as Qiao Yinghong heard this, she knew what it meant and replied: “Okay, I’ll ask when we can have tea next time.”
