China Entertainment 1997

That afternoon, Dong Xuan came to Fanxing Audition, and the girl she had been with in the cafeteria came with her.

The cast of "The Family" chose a freshman as the heroine in the cafeteria. Now it has become a big news in Nortel. Even many teachers know about it, and even the drama next door has heard about it.

There is no way, the drama "Golden Pink Family" is now very famous in the circle.

There is an original novel, and many people know that the role of Leng Qingqiu is outstanding, and he plays with Cao Xuan, the popular king, who is not greedy for the absolute top resources.

The popular little girls are all rushing to get it, let alone these students who have not yet become famous.

If you are selected, it will be a real step to the top.

Dong Xuan's head teacher called her specifically to find out about the situation. She originally wanted to accompany her, but after all, it was a trial, so if it didn't work out, they would be more cautious.

After all, this is Nortel, one of the two major art schools in China, so you still have to maintain your attitude.

After all, "The Golden Family" is a TV series, not a Hollywood movie with Lao Mouzi or Chen Da. It was too grand and made it look like the teachers and students of Nortel had never seen the world.

Therefore, the head teacher only helped identify the identities of Brother Liu and others, and let the two of them come to the audition by themselves.

Brother Liu personally received the two people, Dong Xuan and the others knew that Brother Liu was the executive producer of "The Golden Family". Apart from a few giants, he was also a high-level leader on the crew. Currently, he and another deputy director were mainly responsible for Casting work.

Or rather, it was the casting of the heroine Leng Qingqiu, because the other roles had basically been decided.

Logically speaking, casting usually involves interviews at the same time at the same time, but due to the special nature of this time, there is only one role, so there is no need to be so rigid.

More importantly, Brother Liu was very optimistic about Dong Xuan. He recommended her to several leaders and won her the opportunity to be interviewed alone.

Brother Liu originally wanted to show off his merits and show his favor, but seeing that Dong Xuan was too nervous, he relented and did not put pressure on her. He found a small office for the two of them to rest.

"Mr. Cao is not in the company now. Please wait here for a while. I will call you when people arrive."

After Brother Liu finished speaking, he went to work first. Dong Xuan couldn't hide her nervousness: "Yueyue, do you think I can be chosen?"

"Believe in yourself, you can do it."

Guan Yue cheered hard for her good sisters. Not many Nortel level 00s were famous, but Dong Xuan was considered the most popular.

The most popular actor is probably Cui Peng, who is the Wuhua monk in the fat version of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang". He is also a film and television model where the second male lead's good looks turn the protagonist into a scumbag.

Guan Yue is actually not very famous, but she has a good husband, Tong Dawei. After getting married, she takes care of her husband and raises her children, and her life is considered stable.

In addition to these two, Dong Xuan's classmate also has Yin Xu, who is not well-known, but is the sister-in-law of International Zhang, and later served as International Zhang's manager for a period of time.

In addition, there are two famous people in the 00-level vocational class.

The former is [Jiaqian Runge] Zhou Wei, and the latter is a Chexiao whose ex-husband became an old man and became a hot search topic.

Dong Xuan and Guan Yue have a very good relationship. They are rare non-plastic sisters in the industry. When Dong Xuan encounters trouble, they support her in every way. They take photos at daily gatherings on Weibo, and even take pregnancy photos together when they are pregnant.

Well, I definitely don’t have any of these “good girlfriends”…

With the comfort and encouragement of her good sisters, Dong Xuan slowly got rid of some of her nervousness and took out the book "Golden Pink Family" she had just bought on the way and read it slowly, hoping it would be useful for the audition.

Guan Yue didn't dare to disturb her, so she silently took the magazine in the office and read it to relieve her boredom.

In less than an hour, Brother Liu came over and called someone: "Mr. Cao is here. I will take you to change clothes. Well, your classmates should follow."

Maybe it was because of the two girls, Brother Liu took good care of Dong Xuan and the others and tried his best to ease their emotions.

A makeup artist and costume designer were specially hired to change Dong Xuan's clothes and put on makeup, and then Brother Liu took her to the interview small conference room.

"It's scheduled to start filming on April 5th. If this is suitable, I don't need to say more. If it still doesn't work, I'll shoot other scenes first."

"Is Zhou Xun's side really bad?"

"No, she has a movie called "Orange Is Red" by Rong Xinda, as well as two movies from Hong Kong and Mainland China. There are not enough schedules."

"..."

Dong Xuan listened outside the door and was so disturbed that she simply listened and concentrated on recalling the original "Golden Fen Family" just now, and unconsciously followed Brother Liu into the conference room.

The people who were discussing in the conference room stopped talking when someone came in, and their eyes suddenly brightened.

I saw Dong Xuan wearing a sky blue female school uniform of the Republic of China, a long black skirt, and two pigtails. She had pure eyes and a delicate appearance. She had the aura of a girl and a somewhat demure and cold temperament.

Since ancient times, sentimental feelings have hurt parting, and even more so, they can’t bear to be left out in the Qingqiu Festival.

I dare not say that Dong Xuan is the Leng Qingqiu from the book, but at least so far, she is definitely the most consistent image among all the auditions.

At least in Cao Xuan's view, it is not inferior to the original Dong Jie. Even because Dong Jie comes with his own "filter", he looks more pleasing to Dong Xuan.

"Director Liu, what do you think?"

Although he is an investor, Cao Xuan still respects Liu Guoquan's ideas. Otherwise, the director would not like the heroine, and there would be no need to film this scene.

"Let's try acting first."

An old director like Liu Guoquan is very cautious about such an important role and will not express opinions easily.

Cao Xuan nodded, and Liu Guoquan picked a clip and gave the script to Dong Xuan to act. Dong Xuan thought about it for a few minutes. After the performance, Liu Guoquan picked several clips one after another. Even in the last scene, Cao Xuan even acted in person. Had a chat with her.

After performing a few scenes, Liu Guoquan asked Dong Xuan what he thought of the role of Leng Qingqiu. He thought that the actor he had just found today was just a routine question, but Dong Xuan actually answered.

"The character Leng Qingqiu is a tragic figure. He has a little bit of vanity, but he is also full of a beautiful yearning for love. Faced with Jin Yanxi's pursuit..."

Dong Xuan said a few hundred words, although the words were very simple, and most of them were original works, and there were some inconsistencies. It was obviously a temporary make-up.

But to a certain extent, having this heart means wanting to play the role well, which is a plus in the director's mind.

Of course, the premise is that the director takes a fancy to you. If not, it will be useless even if you memorize the original work of "The Golden Family" backwards and forwards.

Producer Ding Ying, who had been silent, asked Dong Xuan to go out and wait for news, and they could discuss it.

Dong Xuan came out in a daze, and Guan Yue, who had been waiting at the door, immediately came over.

"How about it, what did they say."

Under normal circumstances, after a long continuous audition like this, without going back and waiting for news, the result can basically be determined.

Many mature actors knew directly what was going on, but Dong Xuan was a newcomer after all, and she really valued this role and was worried about gains and losses.

"I don't know. They just told me to wait outside."

Guan Yue was also a freshman and was confused, but Brother Liu had a smile on his face.

"congratulations!"

When he said this, Dong Xuan also reacted and asked in surprise: "Did you say it's done?"

"It's probably close to ten."

Sure enough, as soon as Brother Liu brought the two of them back to the small office, he saw a woman in a suit walking in. Brother Liu hurriedly said hello.

"Mr. Jiang."

"Um."

Jiang Yue nodded, looked Dong Xuan up and down, and introduced herself: "I am Jiang Yue, the deputy general manager of Fanxing Entertainment. I am responsible for the company's artist management business. I would like to ask if Ms. Dong has signed with other companies."

"No."

"Then are you interested in joining our Fanxing Company?"

Jiang Yue looked like a strong woman in front of Cao Xuan and Hu Jing, let alone other people. She was full of aura, like a devil in the workplace. Dong Xuan was worried, but she still asked bravely.

"If I don't join, I won't be able to play the role of Leng Qingqiu."

"Not necessarily, but it's a very likely outcome."

"Then I'll sign it!"

Dong Xuan is also a decisive person at heart. Otherwise, she would not have to worry about her husband's troubles and run around to find a guarantor. When things calm down, she will divorce him directly.

When she understood that she could only get roles by signing with Fanxing, she agreed to sign the contract without much hesitation.

Jiang Yue glanced at her appreciatively, feeling a little fond of the girl who was about to be brought under her banner.

"The contract is for 8 years, and the share is tentatively set at 28%. Don't be too little. If you become famous later and the contract is fulfilled for a certain number of years, the share will increase. This is written in the contract.

After signing the contract, the company guarantees you one drama per year, with a minimum guaranteed number of three or more female roles, and no less than three female lead dramas. We will also arrange other resources such as advertising endorsements and commercial performances accordingly. "

Dong Xuan didn't understand what favors were, and she didn't have a choice anyway. Jiang Yue said whatever she wanted.

But in fact, this contract is considered very generous in the industry, especially for newcomers.

What's so generous is not the share. The best newcomers get about 70% to 30% to 600% to 400%, but newcomers like that are usually special circumstances.

What is really generous is that one drama and three female protagonists are marked every year. In this era of few film and television resources and many actors, the treatment can be said to be highly praised.

This contract can attract several popular talents, let alone a newcomer like Dong Xuan.

This is also the biggest core competitiveness of Fanxing Artist Agency.

Cao Xuan has a lot of dramas at his disposal, and he can arrange his own actors, or exchange them for other roles in the crew, so he dares to promise to give others as many dramas as they want during the contract period.

And most agents don't have that many film and television resources.

It would be fine if the stars were popular and there would be no shortage of film deals, but for ordinary artists, or even newcomers, it would be difficult to push them to the top.

You can't just use the popular celebrities you have on hand to return favors to others every day, just once or twice. As time goes by, the popular celebrities may have to run away.

Therefore, agents and companies that do not have stable film and television resources dare not sign these similar terms.

Sister Hua, the mainland’s top agent, why she has to be with Huayi? Isn’t it because she wants to watch Huayi’s film and television resources?

Later, why a large number of celebrities followed her was because Huayi did not pay attention to these people, and Chengtian promised some film and television resources, so Sister Hua gave an order and everyone ran away.

For the artists in the entertainment industry, whoever has enough film and television resources is the boss.

Therefore, although there are not many artists in Fanxing, Cao Xuan never worries.

Because he knows that as long as the basics of Fanxing Film and Television production are stable, whether it is directly poaching popular stars or promoting potential newcomers, it will easily attract a group of Fanxing stars.

However, these artists in the entertainment industry have too many scandals, and Cao Xuan does not dare to sign people easily to avoid being exposed.

Like Sunshine at Noon in later generations, why did they eliminate the artist management department that was developing well? It was because they found that the gains outweighed the losses.

On the contrary, it is better to make movies and TV shows honestly and not get involved in celebrities and other nonsense. The major entertainment companies are still rushing to let their own actors appear in the drama, and the sunshine at noon makes money comfortably.

Cao Xuan wanted Fanxing to do this at first, but later he discovered that the film and television market was not yet developed, and artist managers were a big piece of the puzzle.

If you don't eat it, the star bonus will be eaten by others, so Cao Xuan got involved.

In the future, if the film and television market becomes huge and Cao Xuan doesn't care about petty profits, he may consider cutting off Fanxing's artist management business and concentrate on film and television.

Otherwise, today we are worried about our artists being used as toothpicks, tomorrow we are worried about being bored to death, and the day after tomorrow we are worried about someone getting high, while the rule of law is in progress every day.

The little money he earned was not enough, and Cao Xuan was worried...

It’s the last three days. Please give me a monthly ticket.
