Chapter 1060: This request is not too high, right?

Earthling Studio did not stop other work just because of the hit of "The Story of a Noble Family". On the contrary, Earthling Studio still has a lot of things to do.

For example, Lai Siu-tung's movie scheduled for the New Year, and Lin Fan's movie tailor-made for Zhou Xiang, also need to start selecting suitable supporting actors.

Yes, the script for the series of films that Lin Fan promised to write for Zhou Xiang has been completed and handed over to Yang Hongxia.

Yang Hongxia didn't even look at it, and asked directly: "This movie needs a few leading actors and a few supporting actors. Can our company handle it internally?"

Lin Fan recalled: "There are three main actors, two women and one man, and two important supporting roles. The others are up to you, Sister Xia, please arrange them. But I suggest that in addition to Zhou Xiang, it would be best to choose an actress with good acting skills, good character, and relatively famous to play the female lead."

Yang Hongxia knew better than Lin Fan that if actors were to be selected from outside the company, then the actor's character would be the most important assessment criterion.

In recent years, it is not uncommon that due to personal problems of actors, filmed TV series and movies cannot be broadcast, or even no one is willing to reshoot them, so they have to remain idle, wasting countless manpower and resources.

There are also TV dramas that have already been broadcast, but due to the actors' failures, the drama had to cut all the actors' scenes overnight.

What's worse, the actors who have failed have too many scenes. For example, if they are the protagonists, their scenes cannot be edited and have to be taken off the screen directly, which also affects other actors in the same crew.

After all, a film or TV series is not your work alone, it is a work completed by the entire crew. However, due to the problem of a certain actor, the work was directly taken off the shelves. Only those who have experienced this feeling can understand it.

Neither Lin Fan nor Yang Hongxia wanted to see such a scene.

We know the character of our own artists, but we really need to investigate the character of artists from other companies.

Therefore, Yang Hongxia said: "I understand. I will carefully screen these artists to see their private conduct and whether they have committed any illegal acts. We must not let such artists ruin our reputation."

You have to know that the film and television dramas produced by Earthling Studio are also top-notch quality resources in the industry. Whether it is the prospects or the help to the future of artists, they are all very generous. There will definitely be many people scrambling to participate.

In this situation, Yang Hongxia should be more cautious and eliminate those artists with bad character. Even if she has to settle for a second best option and choose an actor who is not so famous to be the leading actor, it is still better than an artist who is popular but has bad character.

Because the TV series and movies produced by Earthling Studios don’t have to worry about publicity at all, and don’t need other actors to help attract popularity or help with box office sales.

As long as your acting skills are up to par and your character is above the passing line, that's enough.

It shouldn’t be hard to find such an actor, right?

But when the film began formally casting, Yang Hongxia discovered that this prerequisite had eliminated more than half of the female artists.

The remaining half either have poor acting skills, or are trying to bring in money to increase their roles, or are pure newcomers.

Those successful first-line actresses with good personalities and acting skills are not very willing to play supporting roles for Zhou Xiang. After all, although they are two female protagonists, Zhou Xiang is actually the real first female protagonist.

The new generation of young actresses are willing to come, but their acting skills cannot support the role, so they will be rejected even if they come.

After choosing and choosing, Yang Hongxia still couldn't find a satisfactory actor. She was disappointed: "What do you think is going on? Those with good acting skills are not famous, those with great fame have flaws in character, and those with good acting skills, great fame and good character don't want to play supporting roles. Those who are willing to play supporting roles also have their own problems.

Am I expecting too much from this industry? Or are all the people in the entertainment industry like this these days? "

As a director, Liang Wen also had a headache: "Are our requirements high?"

"Not high, is it?"

Yang Hongxia was not quite sure. In today's entertainment industry, having a good character, decent acting skills, and a little fame, is that considered high standards?

There are many artists like this in the Earthling Studio... Well, not many, only five: Lin Fan, Xia Yan, Li Xiaodong, Lu Bingyang and Zhou Xiang.

The other children are still being trained and have no fame yet.

Liang Wen had a headache: "What should we do now?"

The second female lead has not been decided yet, so the rest of the work is difficult to carry out. Although she is the second female lead, she is also the heroine, and many things need to revolve around her.

What can I do? I can only: "Continue the casting. I just can't believe that we can't find a suitable heroine for the movie produced by our Earthling Studio and the script written by Lin Fan himself!"

Yang Hongxia was also unwilling to give up: "If it really doesn't work, let's just look for someone from another industry. If we can't find someone suitable in the film industry, is there no one suitable in the television industry?"

Although these are two circles, in fact, there is no clear distinction between them. Many artists are active in both film and television, and there are only a few artists who specialize in the big screen, and most of them are top actors.

Generally speaking, there are more actors who are active in both film and television. After all, movie scripts are much harder to get than TV scripts. Even if the actors don't mind and can afford to wait, the agency can't.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!

Of course, even if they can wait, the agency generally won’t. After all, leaving an artist who can make money doing nothing but waiting for a script is a huge loss to the company.

As for actors, not everyone can afford to wait. If you are not in your golden period and need to quickly improve your status, acting skills and popularity, and wait for two years, no, even half a year, the public may forget who you are.

Who will ask you to make a movie by then?

But the TV industry is different. Many actors who work on small screens may never have the opportunity to act in a movie. Many people want to jump from the small screen to the big screen, but they don't have that opportunity.

Acting skills are one reason, but opportunity is the biggest reason.

It can be said that actors who specialize in the big screen do so out of their own choice, but most actors who specialize in the small screen have no choice.

The reason for this group of actors is not because they have poor acting skills, nor because they are unknown, nor for any other reason. It is very likely that they just don’t have the opportunity.

If the Earthling Studio extended an olive branch to them, Yang Hongxia believed that no one would refuse such an invitation.

Liang Wen had no other choice at this time, so he could only temporarily follow Yang Hongxia's arrangement: "Then let's choose first. But we've agreed that if we can only choose from the TV circle in the end, I have to choose carefully. Some people have good acting skills, but they are really not suitable for the big screen. This is not a trivial matter."

Yang Hongxia assured, "Don't worry, Director Liang will definitely decide on the cast only if you are satisfied. When did you see me randomly inserting people into your film crew?"

Liang Wen was relieved: "That's good!"

In response to Liang Wen, Yang Hongxia rolled her eyes.
