The Director of Music Department

Generally speaking, the role selection of a movie is more complicated.

It involves the type of cast of the movie, the director's preferences, the script and so on.

The cast and type of the movie involve what level of stars can be invited to star, and sometimes the director’s preferences and script are actually the key to determining the final candidate.

In China, the biggest difference from Hollywood is that the director has the right to speak. In Hollywood, it is difficult for many directors to decide the starring role of the movie. Some gold medal producers even use the director as a tool for shooting.

But in China, this is just the opposite. Producers, generally speaking, are more responsible for coordinating the crew and more logistics. The director who really holds the power of the film, even if it is less famous Directors, generally speaking, have great power.

For example, Xu Cang, such as Wang Yifan, basically, Times Light and Shadow can only recommend candidates, and they have the final say.

Of course, for some secondary roles, under the same conditions, the investor’s requirements will still be appropriately considered.

However, the situation like "Warring States Syndicate" is different. It is that the investors almost dominate the movie, because people don't mind spending more money, the purpose of investing in movies is not so pure, or in fact, it is pure, just for the heroine. .

Like this time, Wang Yifan's new film, Times Light and Shadow recommended the artists of its agency company for the first time, but Wang Yifan just saw the name and passed it directly.

On the one hand, the coffee position does not match, on the other hand, it is also because it does not conform to Wang Yifan's role positioning.

However, before that, Wang Yifan and Chen Hanming had to attend a 15th anniversary celebration party held by Times Light and Shadow.

Times Light and Shadow have gone through fifteen years. From the ascendant era of China’s cultural and entertainment industry, Dai Xiangdong, the founder of Times Light and Shadow, returned from abroad with one million US dollars to create the earliest Times Film and Television. Since its development, Times Light and Shadow has become As one of the five giants in the entertainment industry in China, although Dai Xiangdong has gradually grown old in the past few years, Times Guangying has also gradually begun to family. The departure and departure of one veteran has made the development of Times Guangying stop, but Strength is still not to be underestimated.

The 15th Anniversary Celebration Cocktail Party of Time Light and Shadow can naturally be counted as a fairly high standard reception, and Wang Yifan is currently the number one director and shareholder of Time Light and Shadow, so he can count as half of such a reception. A host must be there to participate.

In fact, the 15th Anniversary Cocktail Party of Times Light and Shadow, it can almost be said that all the big figures in the entertainment circle have been caught.

Including the top executives of several other giant companies will also come. After all, although several major companies are in a competitive relationship, in fact, it is far more than just competition. Most of the time, cooperation is actually more than competition.

After all, as the cost of film production is getting higher and higher, in many cases, a company alone will rarely spend huge amounts of money to invest in a simple film. Therefore, many times, financing will be carried out, and generally speaking , It is also a hidden rule for several large companies to open up financing channels to each other.

In comparison, everyone has the same strength. If we cooperate, it is definitely a choice of 1+1 greater than 2.

Moreover, it is often difficult for a company to do its best for a large-scale production and the necessary publicity and distribution resource channels. Therefore, it is difficult for a company to bring in a powerful giant, and then the publicity and distribution will be twice the result with half the effort.

In addition, Times Light & Shadow has gradually developed into a comprehensive media group. There are more than artist agencies under its umbrella. The music of the same era is also very strong in the music world. Therefore, this 15th anniversary cocktail party tonight can be called It's a true star gathering.

Wang Yifan's female companion tonight is Chen Xuebing.

"How is the preparation of your new movie?" Chen Xuebing and Wang Yifan, Chen Shaojun are buddies, the relationship is undoubtedly natural, so the speech is naturally more casual.

"The starring role hasn't been decided yet. By the way, the heroine of the film..." Wang Yifan asked with a smile after looking at the slim tail.

"Didn't you say that my style is not suitable? You say that the heroine of your new movie is a "big woman", isn't it a "little woman" like me?" Chen Xuebing gave Wang Yifan a white look.

"If you are interested, the script can be changed." Wang Yifan said with a slight spoiling.

Chen Xuebing glanced at Wang Yifan, shook his head and said, "Don't, you fellow, don't care about me at all."

"What's the matter? Why don't I care about you anymore?" Wang Yifan gave me a particularly wrong expression.

"I just picked up the new movie directed by Ma Qingshan, you don't know, huh, the new movie directed by Ren Ma Qingshan is much more attractive than you. So, you should go to your big woman heroine." Chen Xuebing Not without pride and authenticity.

Wang Yifan is a little embarrassed.

Mainly, he really made Chen Xuebing right, he really didn't know about it.

"Ahem..." Wang Yifan coughed in embarrassment.

However, the heroine in "Firework Easy to Cold" or "Luoyang Jialan Rain", in Wang Yifan's vision, Chen Xuebing is indeed not suitable.

Because in this film, the heroine's role is very heavy, and it is of the "big sister's head" type, which requires a strong aura, Chen Xuebing is somewhat unsuitable.

This is why Wang Yifan didn't expect Chen Xuebing at the beginning. In fact, Zhang Zirong fits well with the heroine in "Fireworks Easy To Cold" in terms of aura, but Zhang Zirong is not an actor.

So Wang Yifan is looking for an actor with the same aura as Zhang Zirong to play this role.

Of course, not only the aura, but also the beauty.

Soon, Chen Xuebing took Wang Yifan's arm and entered the banquet hall together.

It was Dai Xinyue, an old acquaintance who received Wang Yifan and Chen Xuebing.

In fact, in Time Light and Shadow, Dai Xinyue is one of the executives who are more familiar with Wang Yifan, and Dai Bixin of Time Music is another. Wang Yifan is not familiar with other people in the Dai family, such as Dai Xiangdong with white hair, Wang Yifan only has After a few sides.

As the host, Dai Xinyue naturally couldn't stay with Wang Yifan and the others all the time. After chatting for a few words, he went to receive other guests.

The 15th Anniversary Cocktail Party of Times Light and Shadow has contracted the largest banquet hall of Four Seasons Hotel, which can accommodate thousands of people.

Of course, most of those who are eligible to participate in this reception are persons with status and status.

"Do you know that person?" Chen Xuebing suddenly stabbed Wang Yifan, who had just finished greeting him.

Wang Yifan asked with some doubts: "Who?"

Then he looked in the direction of Chen Xuebing's mouth.

The other party was a middle-aged man who was not very old, probably in his thirties. Wang Yifan frowned because he recognized the other party.

Dai Xinyue's cousin, the second son of the founder and chairman of Times Light, and the current general manager of Times Artists Agency, Dai Ziyang.

The other party saw Wang Yifan looking over and nodded at Wang Yifan.

Wang Yifan also nodded.

However, what I didn't expect was that after Dai Ziyang said something to the person who was chatting, then he walked towards Wang Yifan with his female companion.
