Chapter six hundred and eighty sixth meeting
After the initial nervousness, Zhao Liying relaxed and looked at the white clouds outside the machine window curiously. For her, it was a novel experience.
Xiao Ye looked at Zhao Liying lying by the machine window and couldn't help but smile.
Most of the people who fly for the first time are like this, and they feel fresh. They just need to fly from Beijing to London for more than ten hours, and after a while, they feel boring.
She took out an entertainment magazine and started reading it.
As an agent, you need to master the latest developments in the entertainment industry. Although entertainment magazines have many false reports about making mistakes, they are also a channel of information.
The agent's energy is limited and mainly focuses on his own actors.
There are so many things happening in the entertainment industry every day, it is impossible to understand them all. Through entertainment magazines, you can quickly browse various entertainment news and filter out the content you are concerned about.
Xiao Ye has a different perspective from the public when watching entertainment news.
When she saw casting a drama, she first thought about whether she could arrange the actors under her command. When she saw the rumors about celebrities, she thought about whether there was any possibility of taking the opportunity to hype it up.
This is an occupational disease.
A lot of news about the good dream company was published in the magazine. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is still the focus of hot discussion, suppressing "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure".
While Xiaoye was unwilling to give up, he also had his own ideas.
The company intends to film the sequel to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". This is a big production in the next two years. With the success of the previous work, the sequel will probably not be too bad.
She found out that the sequel is actually a prequel to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and has many new characters.
At present, among the actors of Good Dream Company, Ge You and Zhang Guoli are unshakable and are at the level of veterans.
The second is Yu Feihong and Xu Jinglei, who are of international movie stars, and then there are a group of first- and second-tier actors.
Liu Tao, a subordinate of Xiaoye, became popular with "The Legend of the White Snake", but the number of works is not large. If you want to join the front line, you have to shoot a few more influential films and TV series.
Huang Bo made his mark in the country after starring in "My Savage Girlfriend", but he was going to take the film academy.
Once you go to school, your acting speed will slow down, and it is easy for the audience to forget without works.
Huang Bo was filming "Infernal Affairs" in Xiangjiang. Xiao Ye and he talked to him on the phone. According to Huang Bo himself, he had already settled the group of Xiangjiang people with his authentic Cantonese language.
When not filming, I go to a bar in Xiangjiang to drink and sing, and take a leisurely walk.
Xiao Ye knew in his heart that Huang Bo was afraid that she would worry, and it was difficult for people from Xiangjiang to get along with, not to mention that Huang Bo played a supporting role in "Infernal Affairs" and had little room for play.
With Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei as the protagonists, how could the audience care about a supporting role?
Xiao Ye puts his hopes on "My Savage Girlfriend". The box office of this drama in the mainland exceeded 40 million. In mid-April, the movie will be released in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places one after another.
According to the company's plan, this video focuses on the Asian market.
Huang Bo and Gao Yuanyuan have the opportunity to promote it all over Asia, provided that "My Savage Girlfriend" is popular.
There is also Wang Baoqiang who performed martial arts in the crew of "Heroes".
After the Chinese New Year, Xiao Ye found supporting roles for Wang Baoqiang in two TV series. He was not good at just being a martial arts player, and he could not get a paycheck without acting. He just thought it was just to exercise his acting skills.
Before leaving the capital, Xiao Ye made arrangements for the actors under his command and had to consider the future path.
Agents are a life of concern.
This time she went to the UK, she would stay for two or three months, handle Zhao Liying's affairs properly and straighten out the relationship.
Including Zhao Liying's learning situation during filming.
The British labor department has strict regulations on the use of child actors, and no more than a few hours of filming per day can be used to ensure that the child actors study and rest time are supervised.
Once the regulations are violated, the crew will face a fine or suspension of work.
Zhao Liying will enter a private school in London to study English.
Xiao Ye thought of Lin Zixuan’s explanation to her. In the project “Xiaoxue’s Big Adventure”, Haomeng Company is in the dominant position. As an agent, you must strive for what you should strive for.
For example, Zhao Liying's pay should be consistent with the young British actors.
Of course, this is the first one. The young actors are not very famous and have low pay, but they are all higher than in China.
Besides, with the increase in the reputation of young actors, it is not impossible to have sky-high pay.
At the beginning, we discussed the pay clearly, regardless of whether Chinese or British actors were distinguished, we treated them equally.
There are also various treatments of Zhao Liying, which must be in line with her protagonist's identity. If the contract is clearly stated, there will be no disputes or negative impacts in the future.
On the one hand, the broker is the company's employees and should protect the company's interests.
At the same time, we must strive for interests for actors. Sometimes the interests of the company conflict with the interests of the actors. The agent needs to grasp the standards and find a balance between the company and the actors.
Specifically in "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure", Xiao Ye wants to protect Zhao Liying's interests.
To be honest, such a huge project inevitably leads to various problems. Even Lin Zixuan cannot fully control it and can only continue to do it step by step.
Zhao Liying looked at the white cloud outside the window for a long time, and was a little bored, so she took out the script to read it.
The script is a comparison between Chinese and English. With her English proficiency, she cannot read the English version directly. There are a lot of rare words, such as various herbs and monsters in the Magic Academy.
What Zhao Liying needs to do is remember her lines.
After more than half a year of oral English training, she had no problem with daily communication, but Zhao Liying felt strange when she thought of acting with a group of foreign children.
She liked this story, but she didn't expect to be the protagonist one day.
She imagined herself as Xiaoxue in the story, and took a plane to England, and what she was waiting for was a big adventure.
It is not only the adventure of the protagonist in the story, but also her own adventure. She will meet friends and enemies and eventually defeat the enemy with the help of her friends.
Thinking of this, the little girl felt much more at ease.
The plane landed at the London airport. Xiao Ye and Zhao Liying walked out of the airport, met with the people who came to greet them, and took a bus to the office of Haomeng Company in London.
The next day, Zhao Liying met several British children.
This is a young actor selected by British film companies. Unlike Haomeng Company, Zhao Liying directly decided to play, and the UK held up up to eight rounds of auditions.
Several starring actors were selected from thousands of children, as well as dozens of supporting roles, playing students from the Magic Academy.
"Hello, my name is Emma." A little British girl greeted Zhao Liying.
"Hello, my name is Liying." Zhao Liying introduced.
The publicity department of Haomeng Company originally wanted to give Zhao Liying an English name, and Cheng Long and Li Lianjie both had English names, which was to facilitate communication with foreigners.
Foreign movie fans will not talk about Cheng Long, but Jack Cheng.
Lin Zixuan thinks it is also good to use Chinese names. Foreigners may think that it is a little bit of a word, but it is good to get used to it.
In this way, several children met together and in the next ten years, they will grow together.
Chapter completed!
