Chapter 182 Hot, Thoughts
As an agent, Zhu Fei naturally knew about the three works announced by Baiqian Media today, but she didn't have any big ideas.
It’s very simple. These three works were all written by Yu Xiaoshu. Now everyone knows that Yu Xiaoshu is a very popular person.
At this time, who among the other big companies or agents with connections would not want to get a piece of the pie? Zhu Fei is just an agent with no connections, and Han Caier has been abandoned by the company over the years, otherwise it would not be Zhu Fei's turn to be an agent.
These days, Zhu Fei has been trying to help Han Caier find a role, but to no avail.
First of all, Han Caier debuted as a child star. Most child stars have a curse. Han Caier was already playing the leading role when she was only 7 years old. When she was 21 years old, she won many awards for "My Future Girlfriend", and the ratings of this drama set a new record.
peak!
At that time, the Internet was far from being as developed as it is now, otherwise Han Caier would have been an absolute top star.
However, since "My Future Girlfriend", Han Caier has officially entered a low period. It's not that she has not thought about transformation, but it's all of no use.
She signed a contract with Feixing Entertainment at the age of 21, which was at the peak of her career, and the contract was for 8 years. In the past few years, Feixing Entertainment's ace agent Biao Ge had always been with Han Caier. It cannot be said that he did not give Han Caier any opportunities, but both the TV series and the movies all failed.
I have said before that the entertainment industry is extremely cruel. It’s okay if one of your films fails, but when several of them fail in a row, then you naturally have no chance anymore.
In the entertainment industry, losers don't stand a chance.
Correspondingly, Brother Biao also chose to give up Han Caier. After all, with the interest of traffic artists later, Han Caier became even more embarrassed.
She has gone through three stages: protagonist - supporting role - no role to play. From the future star and the pride of heaven to the so-called "outdated child star" now, it can be said that Han Caier has really experienced too much.
At the beginning, Han Cai'er wanted to hold on. She didn't want to follow any unspoken rules. But after one year, two years, and three years, when there was almost no chance, Han Cai'er finally chose to take that step.
But she still has a bottom line. She can accept being taken advantage of or touched a little, but she absolutely cannot agree to sleep with someone.
People are forced.
Han Cai'er originally thought that she would be taken advantage of by that pig Han Rong, and then she placed all her hopes on the online movie "The Revengeful Heroine", which might even determine Han Cai'er's future career plan.
But who could have imagined that this pig Han Rong was not only a pervert, but also a beast.
As a result, Han Caier was taken advantage of and lost opportunities, and was also banned in a small area of the industry because she stood up to identify Han Rong.
If Han Caier was at her peak, how could she care about this ban? ?
But now, she has already fallen out of the 18th line, and Han Caier actually doesn't have many choices at this time.
After all, her contract with Feixing Entertainment only has half a year left.
Who would have thought that there would be such an unexpected turn of events.
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Fei looked at Han Cai'er and said excitedly, "Cai'er, our chance has come."
Han Caier asked excitedly, "Zhu Fei, is this really a call from Baiqian Media?"
"Of course, it was Teacher Yu's assistant who called and asked us to go for an audition in three days."
Zhu Fei nodded gently and said, "Although I don't know what the play is, this is really our opportunity, a great opportunity."
The agent and the artist prosper together. Currently, Zhu Fei has three artists under her, two of whom are newcomers and one is Han Caier, an out-of-date artist. It can be said that her status in Feixing Entertainment is extremely high.
So, Zhu Fei also wants to prove himself.
But it's difficult.
Not to mention competing with the bosses from other brokerage companies, the competition is equally fierce even within Feixing Entertainment’s brokerage company.
In fact, in this episode, not only Han Caier accepted her fate, but Zhu Fei also accepted her fate.
There is no way, you have to accept your fate.
It is also very difficult to change one's fate in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, for everyone in the entertainment industry, as long as there is an opportunity, they must seize it tightly.
You must never relax.
At this moment, Zhu Fei and Han Caier looked at each other, with crazy looks flashing in their eyes.
No one can snatch it from us.
In fact, it was not only the agents Zhu Fei and Han Caier who thought so. Others also thought so after receiving Yu Xiaoshu's call at this time.
Feng Jie, who got many opportunities by playing Li Toyota, also received a call from Yang Li.
Since playing the role of Li Toyota, Feng Jie has indeed had a lot of opportunities.
But how to say it?
Feng Jie thought the scripts were not very good.
He wanted to continue working with Yu Xiaoshu, but since "The Undocumented Crime" there was no role suitable for Feng Jie in "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
Therefore, Feng Jie is actually still in a period of idleness recently.
So the call he received was not from his assistant, but from Yu Xiaoshu: "Senior, I have a role in this criminal investigation web drama, but it doesn't have many scenes. Are you interested in making a cameo appearance?"
"no problem."
Feng Jie readily agreed.
It doesn't matter how many scenes you have, as long as the role is suitable for you.
In fact, the reason why Feng Jie refused other plays was because those plays were all the same. Everyone saw him playing the role of Li Toyota and thought he was quite suitable for it, so they invited him to play roles of this type.
Feng Jie likes to play villains, but he doesn’t like the same old villains. Feng Jie likes the growing villains.
Rather than a villain being a villain for no apparent reason.
Feng Jie likes the character Li Toyota very much, because this character is complex, but the roles that other people invited Feng Jie to play are all stereotyped.
But Feng Jie did not ask Yu Xiaoshu what role he would play.
Because he believed that Yu Xiaoshu would never let him play a meaningless role.
That's trust.
Apart from Feng Jie, Yu Xiaoshu did not take the initiative to call other artists.
Now, Yu Xiaoshu put all his attention on the script of "The Hidden Corner". He was just concentrating on the script. He became quiet, while Liu Qianqian was in a hurry.
It exploded!
After the roles of the three children in "The Bad Kids" were announced, Liu Qianqian did not expect that her private messages would explode.
It turns out there are so many child stars in the entertainment industry.
"Mr. Wang, after I sent out the role requirements, I received 500 private messages in just 30 minutes."
Liu Qianqian came to Wang Bao's office and said with a wry smile: "This is too much."
“500 private messages??”
Wang Bao was stunned: "So many?"
"Yeah, I looked at the private messages. Except for some troublemakers, the rest were resumes."
Liu Qianqian said with a headache: "Boss Wang, please arrange for professionals to sort it out. I thought Teacher Yu asked me to make an official announcement directly, but it turns out that you can't let me sort it out."
"Of course not."
Wang Bao shook his head and smiled, "I'll take care of this. I'll have someone sort it out later."
"Okay, I'm leaving now."
Liu Qianqian glanced at the time and said, "I'm going to a meeting first."
Liu Qianqian did nothing this afternoon but just worked.
She was the boss, but ended up being treated like an employee.
After Liu Qianqian left, Wang Bao called over the newly hired actor coordination manager He Wu.
He Wu is also an old acquaintance of Wang Bao. The two met when they were at Kunlang Film and Television. Later, He Wu was not very happy at Kunlang Film and Television, so he went to another film and television company.
Originally, Wang Bao thought that He Wu would not come to Baiqian Media for a while, but he didn't expect that after sending the recruitment information, He Wu actually called him on his own initiative.
It turned out that He Wu had a conflict with the vice president at Xianghui Film and Television and was about to resign. Now, when he saw the recruitment information of Baiqian Media, He Wu was ready to resign.
After all, Baiqian Media is indeed in need of people now.
There are two web dramas and one TV series, so the initial selection of actors is still quite cumbersome.
"Old He, please check out the private message section of Baiqian Media's official V later."
Wang Bao said to He Wu, "Then screen the casting for the three roles. If you have any questions, feel free to communicate with Xiao Shu."
"Mr. Wang, I..."
He Wu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Wang Bao: "Boss Wang, there are no outsiders here, there is no need to be so formal with each other."
"All right."
He Wu laughed: "Lao Wang, I feel like the company may have some problems with its strategic focus."
Wang Bao was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Look, isn't our focus the TV series 'All Is Well'? But today I noticed that all the focus is on the web series 'The Bad Kids'."
He Wu said: "What does this company think?"
"You're talking about this. This is not what the company thinks. This is what Xiaoshu and I discussed."
Wang Bao smiled and said, "It's impossible to finish filming the TV series 'All Is Well' in a short time, but 'The Hidden Corner' can be finished in a short time, because Xiaoshu and Zhang Yi and their crew have a very good understanding of each other. From 'I Am Yu Huanshui' to 'Undocumented Crime' to 'The Rumored Chen Qianqian', the production time of these three web series has been faster and faster. So now as long as the actors of 'The Hidden Corner' are in place, we can also start filming as soon as possible."
Of course, Wang Bao paused and said, "There is actually another more important reason. You know, most online dramas about criminal investigations have failed, so this is the time when our online drama is attracting the most attention."
He Wu understood what was said: "Okay, I understand. I will sort out the resumes submitted for the three roles first, and then talk about the others."
"Okay, you'll have to work hard on this part. After all, in addition to the web series "The Bad Kids", you'll also have to keep an eye on the casting for two other works, "All Is Well" and "Go Go Squid!"
Wang Bao said to He Wu, "You can recruit as many people as you want. If you think they can be used, you don't need to discuss it with me."
"Okay, I understand."
He Wu nodded slightly.
He Wu will indeed face a lot of pressure next.
He needs to make a preliminary selection of the main actors for the three works. At the same time, he also needs to contact the actors. After everything is almost ready, he needs to follow up on the project to get the actors to sign the contract, not to mention the subsequent handling of matters related to the actors.
In recent days, He Wu has actually started recruiting troops.
At 5:15 in the evening, everyone else had already left work. Yang Li came over to report the situation to Yu Xiaoshu. Yu Xiaoshu smiled at Yang Li and said, "Tell Mr. He about the actors who called today. He will naturally know what to do. Then you can leave work."
"I'll be fine when I go back, I..."
Yang Li said hurriedly, but she was interrupted by Yu Xiaoshu before she finished her words: "When you are needed, you will naturally have to work hard, but now is not the time, you should leave work when you should. Life is not just about work."
Since Yu Xiaoshu said so, Yang Li didn't say anything more: "Okay, then Teacher Yu, I'll leave first."
"Well, let's go."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand and said.
A few minutes later, Yu Xiaoshu felt the door being pushed open. Without even looking up, he said, "Didn't I tell you to get off work? Why are you back? Huh?"
Yu Xiaoshu looked up and saw that it was Wang Bao, and he laughed: "Uncle Wang, you haven't left yet."
"I was about to leave. I just ran into your assistant and she said you hadn't left yet."
Wang Bao said with a smile: "Let's go, let's eat together???"
"OK."
Yu Xiaoshu said this and stood up.
The two of them went straight to a barbecue stall, and Yu Xiaoshu ordered more food.
10 skewers of fish tofu!
10 lamb skewers!
10 strings of gluten!
5 chicken wings!
5 wings!
10 bunches of leeks!
5 kidneys!
As for squid, shrimp, scallops, fish, etc., grill some of them too.
After ordering a bunch of things, Yu Xiaoshu said to Wang Bao, "Uncle Wang, do you need anything else???"
"No, no, I think that's enough."
Wang Bao laughed and said, "It's great to be young. I can't even eat kidneys now."
"Uncle Wang, you still have to eat. You are not old. Haven't you seen those old artists still holding their sons when they are old?"
Yu Xiaoshu joked: "How about you also want a second child???"
"Please forget it."
Wang Bao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why didn't you tell your teacher to have a third child?"
"I'm afraid of being beaten to death by my master's wife."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled.
Chatting while waiting for the barbecue.
Obviously, everyone is in a good mood.
"Xiao Shu, 'The Visitor' is about to enter the promotional stage in the next few days. Would you like to attend the launch conference later?"
Wang Bao said to Yu Xiaoshu: "It's a good opportunity to promote it."
"Let's just forget it."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand and said, "I won't get involved with 'The Visitor'. I have to finish writing the first six episodes of 'The Hidden Corner' as soon as possible these few days, and then I have to write the first five episodes of 'All Is Well' quickly. As for the actors of 'Go Go Squid!', I still need to discuss it. There are enough things to do."
