Anyway, the deal has been settled...
Guo Fan had received many calls from him some time ago, but he always pretended to be busy. He either hung up after a brief greeting or simply pretended not to be there.
In fact, it's not just Mr. Liu or Director Wang. Ever since the movie "Wandering Blue Planet" became a huge hit and successfully secured the annual box office champion, the number of calls to Guo Fan has increased infinitely more than before.
Not to mention his distant relatives, former colleagues, superiors and friends, even some people who were just acquaintances of him called him a lot.
There are few people who have connections with the Kuiguang Group, and even fewer who can also be involved in the traditional entertainment industry.
Either you take an exam and enter the group directly, or you participate in variety shows, or you make a good movie and win an award... There are almost no convenient shortcuts.
Kuiguang Group rarely accepts active cooperation invitations from others. Generally speaking, it takes the contract to find the partners that have already been planned.
This has led to the fact that in the eyes of countless actors and directors, the circle of Kuiguang Group is extremely closed.
Even for people in the traditional entertainment industry, it is extremely difficult to establish a relationship with the Kuiguang Group.
As one of the few exceptions, Guo Fan has naturally become the "helpless choice" of many people.
Now the filming plan of "Wandering Blue Planet 2" has been exposed in the entertainment circle. It is said that most of the actors in the previous film will not participate... This vacant resource vacuum is enough to make everyone put down their pride.
But under Mr. Yang's arrangement, the entire resource allocation of the film has basically been finalized, so answering the phone now will not have much impact.
As for the leading role, needless to say, people with certain performance experience will naturally need to undergo a threshold audition, and director Guo Fan and important decision makers of the crew will make the final decision on who will be hired.
Most of the non-important supporting roles and extras are distributed to the public for auditions without any threshold. The initial auditions are conducted by a large number of experienced film and television industry practitioners. After the initial auditions, the crew will conduct re-auditions to ensure the survival of the fittest.
The last small amount of resources was put into the campus.
It was so detailed that the roles of every extra were arranged perfectly. Even if someone called Guo Fan a hundred times, it would not change the established facts.
After the busy tone lasted for two seconds, the voice of Teacher Liu came through the receiver.
"Oh, busy man, you're almost done with your work. Do you have time to answer the phone?"
Guo Fan replied unhappily: "If it's just idle chat, I'll hang up. You're also here, you know how busy I am."
The number of students who signed up for the audition was even greater than the crew had expected! The workload suddenly became full.
Now during the five-minute break, Guo Fan still had to find time to discuss many details with the screenwriter, actors and original authors.
I really don't have time to chat with irrelevant people.
"Hey, don't hang up yet." The other end really stopped talking nonsense and said, "I want to ask you something."
"Ask ahead." Guo Fan held the phone between his shoulder and ear, speaking casually, "But I won't tell you anything confidential. Just ask."
"I'm sure I won't ask you anything confidential." Teacher Liu sighed, "It's about you personally."
Guo Fan was a little curious: "Me? What's wrong with me?"
"The resources for this film have definitely been arranged, but you are still young, and your career has definitely just started." Teacher Liu said, "You will definitely continue to make movies in the future, and it is impossible for every movie to be so deeply tied to the Kuiguang Group. I have some relevant connections and resources on hand, and we can help each other when we need it."
Guo Fan was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was saying.
The distribution of "Wandering Blue Star 2" has been settled, but Guo Fan will definitely have other movies to shoot and will have to cooperate with other copyright holders and actors. It is impossible for every work to be deeply bound to the Kuiguang Group.
The resources controlled by the Kuiguang Group need Yang Ruoqian's approval before they can be distributed. Various exams are required to obtain them, and all partners recognize this. Although this approach is unreasonable, it leaves everyone speechless.
But no matter what, Guo Fan's fame and reputation, and the communication and cooperation channels with Kuiguang Group have been firmly established.
When he shoots other movies in the future, he will definitely have more or less contact and cooperation with the Kuiguang Group.
Relying on the foundation, connections, resources and hard power that Guo Fan has accumulated in the two blockbuster movies, as long as there is no shocking Black Swan, his subsequent movies will not be too bad, which can be regarded as a relatively stable resource.
Let me say this in advance: in the future, whether you are cooperating with Guo Fan or indirectly reaching the Kuiguang Group through this channel, it will be much easier.
In film schools, having many works, extensive resources and connections is, to some extent, a symbol of status.
Director Liu has a glorious past. If he can successfully negotiate a cooperation with Guo Fan, he will have more cards to play in the future.
Guo Fan thought for a moment and laughed, "I see... You have a lot of ideas. I'm not sure what movie I'm going to make next or who I'm going to work with. As long as you don't push random people on me, there's no problem with cooperation."
As a director who was already well-known before filming "Wandering Blue Planet", Guo Fan was very familiar with the traditional entertainment industry.
Those who are not used to muddy waters simply cannot survive.
But adapting to sewage does not mean not yearning for clean water.
Life like this, where you don't have to care about any social conventions and still have top-level resources allocated, you can choose actors according to the role as you please without having to consider anyone's feelings, and all assessments are open and transparent... It's just too happy.
Of course, Guo Fan is not a pedantic person. If Director Liu can really provide some good talents, he will certainly accept them with pleasure.
"Okay... then it's settled." No one in the entertainment industry knows how to behave. Director Liu was very tactful and didn't bring it up again. "By the way, you've been assessing for so long, do you have any students you like?"
"To be honest, it can be seen that most of the students who come to audition have some level of ability." When talking about serious matters, Guo Fan would not give such an ambiguous answer. He said, "It's much more professional than the auditions without any threshold."
"But what?"
"But there are too many people. After all, there are too many candidates for too little porridge. I can only save the video clips of the particularly outstanding and amazing performances. I will make the final decision after all the students have finished the audition. It is difficult to give you an answer now."
Teacher Liu glanced at the students who were gathered around the little sun to keep warm, chat and drink milk tea, and who had not yet lined up, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, that's it, I won't bother you."
What he feared most was that Guo Fan would have a student he liked before Xue Yuwei and his other favorite students lined up.
This is also the reason why Teacher Liu forced Xue Yuwei to cut in line.
Unfortunately, the girl insisted on queuing, which made him very angry.
After hanging up the phone, Shang Qianyu, who was squatting in the corner, turned his head and glanced at the recording device. After confirming that it was turned off, he asked curiously, "Director Guo, you are quite tactful in your words."
Guo Fan didn't look at Shang Qianyu: "It's normal... Fighting for resources, I can understand. Besides, we have to look at things from two aspects."
"Now we are the resource provider. No matter what the other party does, we will definitely not be too happy from our perspective."
“But if you put yourself in the shoes of this instructor, the feeling will be completely different.”
"Who would refuse? Who wouldn't like a mentor who is willing to risk his life to get resources for his students? Would you?"
Shang Qianyu shook his head in realization: "I can't!"
Guo Fan nodded: "Look at those students, some things don't need to be taken so seriously, who didn't rise from humble beginnings?"
"Understood……"
Guo Fan glanced at the time and said, "If you understand, please help me contact your CEO Yang. I have something urgent to ask him."
Shang Qianyu took out his cell phone and dialed two numbers. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong: "Eh? No, I came here to watch the fun. Why do I feel like I've been busy from beginning to end?"
How come without noticing, she seemed to have become a member of the crew, and the kind of person responsible for helping out?
She is Shang Qianyu, a rising first-line star, why did she fall to this point?
Xiao Shang thought hard while sending a message to Yang Ruoqian and asked, "Director Guo, what do you want to say to Mr. Yang?"
Guo Fan said: "I think that for a movie that inherits the box office champion and boldly tries the sequel model, it is still necessary for Mr. Yang to take up a position so that he can give some suggestions on some important scenes. Although Mr. Yang has not been in charge of specific film and television affairs for some time, I believe that his vision and judgment of the market will not deteriorate."
"Even though it's just a temporary position, we still have to give Mr. Yang enough respect... A person of his level must not be short of money. Well, when the time comes, I'll give some of my connections and resources in the film and television industry as a red envelope to Kuiguang Group."
“Haha, compared to the fact that Mr. Yang entrusted me with the responsibility of the two parts of “Wandering Blue Star”, these resources seem to be insignificant.”
“…”
…
Two days later, Gimhae International Airport.
"The flight has arrived in Gimhae City. The temperature... the weather..."
Yang Ruoqian slowly took off his blindfold, took Chang Zhiqing's hand, and walked off the plane in a very happy mood.
When passing by the buffet area in front, he waved to the blogger who was holding "Weakness of Human Nature" and tasting cheap "industrial garbage" and said, "Have fun in Jinhai City. If you have any reimbursement items for work, please contact your operation or agent directly. Don't be embarrassed."
After saying goodbye to this interesting blogger at the Capital Snack Bar, Yang Ruoqian contacted him again when he returned to Jinhai and asked him to continue experiencing the "industrial treasure" with a different feeling on the plane.
As expected, under the video of "being caught on the spot by the boss and forced to be taken on the plane to eat industrial treasures", both the number of views and the number of comments reached the peak of this blogger's life.
After learning that he was a blogger under the Kuiguang Group, many people expressed extreme jealousy and hoped that he would resign voluntarily.
"Okay...Okay, Mr. Yang..."
After leaving the airport, Yang Ruoqian sat in the special car, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.
Chang Zhiqing would not fail to notice his mood changes and asked, "What's wrong? You have been acting very happy since two days ago. Who caught you and made you a black bass?"
Yang Ruoqian continued to look at his phone, a little proud: "Director Guo personally invited me to be the associate producer of "Wandering Blue Planet 2", and also said that if there are any problems, I will have to go to the set. Do you know my value?"
In fact, the value is secondary. The most important thing is to get a job and earn extra money!
The system had made clear regulations on related matters before. Yang Ruoqian could not take the initiative to force himself into a position in the crew, but if it was an invitation from the crew, he could accept it! Ever since Cheng Fei gave him a supercar, Yang Ruoqian has never been invited to any additional position.
Now, extra money is coming again!
Cheng Fei always gave this and that, properties, sports cars, but she never gave Mr. Yang the money he needed most...
Guo Fan wouldn't be like this, right?
No one would bother with all these fancy things. Just giving red envelopes is the most convenient and happiest thing.
With this opportunity to earn extra money, Yang Ruoqian no longer cared much about whether he would make a profit or loss this quarter.
Chang Zhiqing smiled and said, "This isn't the first time you've done something like this, so why are you so excited? And, really, if you give the order, then you can assign any position you want, right?"
Yang Ruoqian put down his phone and said with a smile: "When you ask for something yourself, it's called self-entertainment, when someone else invites you, it's called respect. The two are different."
"A sense of ceremony, huh? I'm not going to waste my time on you. Are you going to go straight to the set later?"
Yang Ruoqian nodded: "Yes."
"Okay, I'll go with you then."
“…”
More than ten minutes later, the two arrived at the set of "Wandering Blue Planet 2".
Compared with the snowy north, the climate here is obviously more in line with Yang Ruoqian's lifestyle.
Shang Qianyu, who was squatting at the entrance of the studio, stood up suddenly and waved: "Boss and Madam, this way!"
Yang Ruoqian followed him and asked curiously, "Why are you in a place like this? Why are you here to guide us?"
The chatterbox Shang Qianyu was silent for a rare moment. After a few seconds, she shook her head and said that she didn't know either: "I just came to take a look, and then... then it became like this."
Chang Zhiqing couldn't help sighing: "Alas, silly child, you don't even know you've become free labor."
The three of them walked forward and soon saw the crew who were already making final preparations.
After two days of review and selection, all the actors have been put in place.
"Mr. Yang is here? Come and take a look at this. This is a creative design question. Do you have any ideas?"
ps: Liu Ruyan, who stayed in bed listening to books all day, feels like she is about to grow a brain. Sometimes I feel helpless when I surf the Internet alone. (End of this chapter)
