Chapter 377 Role Selection
Although Han Dong was not very famous, he was still well-known and had received quite a few roles in various film and television dramas, so he could still afford a house in the capital.
After getting off the plane, he said goodbye to his agent and assistant and took a car back to his home.
The next day, an agent drove over to pick him up and went to the iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video Building early.
"Hello, Director Jiang!"
In the super luxurious office, Han Dong and his agent greeted Jiang Heng together.
"Sit, sit, are we filming in Hengdian?"
Han Dong hurriedly explained: "It's a costume drama, there aren't many scenes!"
The agent added, "Everything should be based on Director Jiang's side!"
Jiang Heng smiled, "It's not urgent. We estimate that we will have to wait until the end of September to start the production. It will take more than ten days to complete the process, right?"
The agent said, "Sure, sure. It won't take that long. I'll definitely be back on time!"
Jiang Heng nodded slightly, then called Cui Zhenzhen in and took Han Dong to put on makeup.
In fact, with the help of a "super microscopic computer", the effect of each actor after putting on makeup can be simulated.
But since I called him here from far away for the audition, I might as well do it in full.
After more than half an hour, Han Dong, who had put on makeup and changed clothes, came in.
Jiang Heng nodded slightly, stood up and walked around, thinking it was pretty good.
The story takes place before the birth of human civilization. The costumes of the witch tribe are naturally not gorgeous, but they are not the Roman style of "not covering the body".
Generally speaking, the shape is simple and looks very plain.
If there must be any flaw, it is that Han Dong's figure is still a little thin.
"If you have time, work out and build some muscle!"
Han Tong was terrified when he heard this. Was this just a little bit off?
The agent hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Director Jiang, we will work out like crazy to gain muscle before joining the crew!"
"Well, don't be too tired, go sign the contract!"
"Oh, okay, thank you Director Jiang, thank you Director Jiang!"
Han Dong and his agent thanked Jiang Heng profusely and left his office. Under the guidance of Cui Zhenzhen, they went to the legal department to sign the contract.
After all, it is already the number one film and television group company in the country. There are special staff to discuss contracts, remuneration and so on. Jiang Heng just decides who to use.
After signing the contract, Han Dong returned and expressed his gratitude again.
Then I went to the screenwriting department and got a plot outline that only covered Hou Yi's role.
After leaving the iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video Building, the agent could no longer hide his excitement, "Xiao Han, you are really successful this time, you are really going to be famous!"
Han Dong also thought so, but the movie has not been filmed yet, so he is a little hesitant to be too happy.
"Well, this is really a godsend opportunity, we must seize it!"
"Of course, let's celebrate?"
Han Dong thought for a moment and said, "I'd better send the outline of the script home first. If it is accidentally lost, it will be a disaster!"
The agent nodded continuously, agreeing with him.
To be honest, he now cares more about the role of Hou Yi than Han Tong. After all, if Han Tong succeeds in becoming a first-line star, his status will also rise with him!
The two of them sent the script outline home first before finding another place to drink.
After Jiang Heng decided on the actor for Houyi, he began to think about the candidate for Chang'e.
At first, he wanted to invite a group of actresses to audition.
But later I found that there was too much to do in preparation for this film, so I decided to keep everything simple.
After all, if filming can’t start earlier, it will affect the release of the film next year!
After a number of well-known actresses in the circle flashed through his mind, Jiang Heng thought of an actress who had played the role of Chang'e and was well received - Yan Xinchen.
He has never had any contact with Yan Xinchen, but Huang Xiaoming is her classmate, so it seems they are connected.
Besides, there are many famous characters in this play, and Huang Xiaoming is also an old acquaintance of his, so he still needs him to come and play a role. Thinking of this, Jiang Heng directly called Huang Xiaoming, who was already very excited.
"Director Jiang, do you need me to audition?"
"Well, don't get excited, the male lead has already been chosen!"
"Oh, oh, it's settled!"
Huang Xiaoming wanted to ask, do you think I still have a chance?
But he also knew Jiang Heng's character. Once he made a decision, it would be almost impossible to change it.
It seems that he won’t be able to get the male lead role in this drama, so Director Jiang called him and invited him to play a supporting role.
The supporting role in Director Jiang’s new film is a resource that many people dream of!
"So why are you calling?"
"Well, it's like this. There's a character with a very important role in the film, the Great Wizard Xingtian, and we'd like to invite him to play the role!"
"No problem, no problem!"
"Is the schedule okay?"
"Since you've asked, there's no problem!" Huang Xiaoming laughed.
Jiang Heng then asked, "You and Yan Xinchen are classmates in the same class?"
"Yes, you're looking for her?"
"There's an important role and I want to invite her to audition. Can you notify her for me?"
If it were someone else, Jiang Heng would only order someone to find Yan Xinchen's contact information and have the staff call him.
However, Huang Xiaoming was a very loyal person, so Jiang Heng asked him to make the notification on his behalf.
Huang Xiaoming was really happy to do this. "Okay, okay, Director Jiang, don't worry. I will personally accompany her to the company for an interview tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaoming sighed slightly. Who would want to play a supporting role when you can play the leading role?
And given his current status in the circle, it would be almost impossible for him to play a supporting role in other movies.
However, these unspoken rules that have become commonplace in the industry are completely invalid in Jiang Heng's films.
Do you think you are a first-tier star and don't want to play a supporting role for a second-tier star?
There are plenty of people willing to perform!
Besides, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video have so many resources, and if they have a good cooperative relationship with Jiang Heng, it may be their turn at any time.
If you dare to refuse, you won’t have to think about those things in the future!
Huang Xiaoming sighed and called Yan Xinchen.
The latter was stunned at first, because although the two were classmates, their relationship in college was not very close.
Because Yan Xinchen was pretty, she was overwhelmed with acting jobs when she was in her sophomore year, while Huang Xiaoming was worried about not having any roles to play.
Unexpectedly, several years after graduation, Huang Xiaoming became a popular first-line star, while Yan Xinchen could only hang around in bad movies and became a vase actor, and the kind with little fame.
There is a huge difference in their status. Even though we are classmates, we don’t really interact with each other.
"Hello, big star, why did you think of calling me?"
Huang Xiaoming said quickly: "Don't call me that, I'm not a big star!"
Yan Xinchen said: "You are being too modest. You are the most popular among all the students in the class now!"
Huang Xiaoming chuckled, accepting Yan Xinchen's compliment.
Then he said: "In the past, it was true, but it won't be true soon!"
"What do you mean?"
"Because you'll be the most popular one soon!"
"You're kidding. I'm just an unknown TV actor. No matter how famous I am, I can never be as famous as you! Unless...!"
She originally wanted to say, unless Director Jiang supports me!
But thinking about the sudden call from Huang Xiaoming and what he had just said, his voice trembled involuntarily.
"what do you mean?"
"I have good news for you. Director Jiang invites you to audition tomorrow. I think it's very likely that you'll succeed. Remember to treat me to a meal!"
