Chapter 394 Male Lead Turns on the Big Red Envelope
Jing Tian's first job after becoming the vice president was to participate in the audition for the role of "Battle Through the Heavens".
At present, iQiyi, Youku, Tencent Pictures have set up audition registration offices in ten cities, including Beijing, Shenyang, Zhengzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Xi'an.
It can be said that there are long queues in front of each registration office, and there are huge crowds of people.
After all, the temptation of being a star is still very great.
Of course, not everyone can participate in the audition, and there are still standards.
Not only the age, but also the height, the appearance must be acceptable, and they have to change into ancient costumes for auditions.
Jiang Heng absolutely cannot tolerate such things as ugly men in ancient idols.
Even if they are actors from professional schools, if their appearance is not good-looking, they will not be considered.
As a result, after a long audition, the few candidates selected were not from professional schools.
Jiang Heng hesitated a little, because none of these people were future stars, and he had no idea how they would develop.
Once they were selected, it would be considered to have directly changed their fate!
Jing Tian didn't know Jiang Heng's entanglement. Every day, he helped to sort out the information sent by various registration offices and watched the competition videos of "seed players".
"Brother, this one looks okay. He is 1.81 meters tall and tall enough. Although he is a little bit worse than you, he is also very handsome. The most important thing is that he looks like he will not give up!"
Jiang Heng took the photo handed over by Jing Tian and took a look. It was indeed as she said. Using the deduction function of the "super microcomputer", he could immediately see that this person's ancient costume was the most consistent with the original description.
He looked at this person's resume again, Zhang Wei.
In Jiang Heng's mind, Li Jiahang's appearance in "Love Apartment" inexplicably emerged.
Damn, this is a bit scary. The two of them are completely different styles!
"The appearance is still quite in line with the requirements, but the name...!"
Jing Tian smiled and said: "Just give it a stage name!"
Jiang Heng thought about it and felt that it was normal to use stage names in the entertainment industry.
Even the name Zhang Yimou, a famous director, was chosen later. His original name was not this.
"Call them and inform them to bring this person to the company!"
"Okay!"
"Call the others as well!"
Jiang Heng said, and then checked a few names in the form and handed it to Jing Tian.
It took a lot of manpower and resources to hold an audition. We can't just choose one and it's over. We have to keep a few backups.
Jing Tian personally called the heads of several registration offices and made an appointment.
After returning, he saw Jiang Heng was also on the phone and had a good chat with the other party.
"Teacher Chen Daoming?"
After the call was hung up, Jing Tian was a little surprised.
"Well, ask him to play the role of Yao Lao in the film!"
"Wow, that must be very colorful, I like Mr. Chen Daoming's performance the most!"
Jiang Heng saw that she was hesitant to speak, and smiled and said: "Why, do you want to act again?"
Jing Tian smiled awkwardly, "No, I just think Mr. Chen Daoming is so amazing, it would be great if I could let him teach me!"
"Oh, then you come to the film, play a role, and ask him for advice when you are free!"
"Really, is it okay?"
Da Tiantian's eyes were wide open. She had this idea, but she was a little embarrassed to say it.
After all, they said they would retire from the circle, and acting again felt a bit of going back on their words.
Jiang Heng didn't think so. With Jing Tian's popularity, coming to the film as a guest star would help the film.
Besides, even if he retired from the circle, he wouldn't quit completely just by saying it.
As long as he reduced the workload and stopped focusing on filming, it would be fine.
"Of course, I'd love to have that!"
"Then, it's settled!" Da Tiantian said happily.
The next day, eight candidates for the role of Xiao Yan came to the company. After Jiang Heng's interview, a candidate named Zhang Wei was confirmed to play the role of Xiao Yan.
Two other candidates were left to sign ordinary agency contracts and stay in the crew as minor roles.
So far, the actors of the film have been basically confirmed.
In mid-March, the crew held a new film press conference in Beijing and then went to Hengdian for filming.
When Jiang Heng was filming "Fighting Through the Heavens", he naturally couldn't do anything like "fighting spirit turning into a horse".
Not only that, he had to restore the descriptions of various skills and battles in the book as much as possible.
These basically require special effects, and they had to be shot at the China Film Digital Base.
But some of the daily indoor and urban scenes in the film were first shot at Hengdian Film and Television City.
At the same time, the film "Under One Person" has been taken off the screen in China, and the 1.73 billion in the mainland market has failed to break the box office record in the mainland market.
Including overseas, the total box office is more than 800 million US dollars, and it is basically hopeless to break 900 million.
Compared with "Legend of the Little Soldier" and "Havoc in Heaven", it is indeed much lower, but it is also a normal box office result.
After all, even in Hollywood, there are only a handful of films with a global total box office of more than 1 billion each year.
Moreover, "Under One Person" has obvious Chinese culture, and it is not as cool and shocking as "Havoc in Heaven". The total box office of more than 800 million US dollars is already a lot.
More importantly, the next part will be released in a few months.
Even if the performance is not as good as the previous part, the total box office is considerable!
Liu Yifei can finally stop the promotion work and have a good rest.
But she did not return to Beijing as soon as possible, but rushed to Hengdian to visit the set.
"Thank you, thank you sister Yifei, I like your role as Feng Baobao so much!" A crew member took the milk tea and thanked Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei also responded very politely.
After she arrived, she first generously invited the entire crew to drink milk tea.
It should be noted that Jiang Heng was shooting a special effects blockbuster, and the crew members were at least two or three thousand people. It was not a small amount of money to invite everyone in the crew to have a cup of milk tea.
After handing out a few cups in person, Liu Yifei went to the inside of the shooting site and handed it to Jiang Heng in person.
"Thank you!"
"You are still polite to me!" Liu Yifei looked at Jiang Heng with resentment.
"Politeness!"
Jiang Heng drank milk tea and said casually: "You have worked hard for more than a month. You have made an indispensable contribution to the high box office of the movie!"
"Then how are you going to reward me?"
"Give you a big red envelope!"
"How big is it?"
"Fifty million!"
"This, so much?"
To be honest, Liu Yifei was really scared by the number Jiang Heng said.
After all, it is still 2011 now. Although first-line stars also make a lot of money, fifty million is still a big number.
Jiang Heng considered it from another perspective. First of all, Liu Yifei's continuous promotion has contributed a lot to the high box office of the film.
The 50 million red envelope is a share of the box office revenue for her.
Without considering the box office revenue in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas, the share ratio is less than 10%.
Of course, in the current domestic film market, most directors and actors have nothing to do with the box office share.
Jiang Heng's big red envelope is really thick.
But the two have been together for so long, so it is reasonable to treat her well.
Publicizing it can also increase her value.
She gets tens of millions of box office dividends for a movie.
Do you think you can give me a discount?
