Chapter 141 Before the Audition (14)
The royalties for "Zhu Xian" are still 12%...
It was published in six volumes, priced at 25 yuan each. The first volume was released in August, with sales of 460,000 copies, deducting a bunch of taxes and the like, and 800,000 royalties...
The second volume, released in September, has just been released, and the first installment has not yet arrived...
The remaining 400,000 yuan is the second share of overseas royalties from "The Best in the World".
This little money is actually not enough to make Shen Xudong dizzy...
It’s not like I haven’t seen money before.
Mainly, Shen Haobo told him that a game company called Perfect was contacting him to buy the rights to adapt the game!
The asking price is 1.5 million!
It doesn't matter what the price is, the key is to have a perfect company.
In the original time and space, the fairy tale novel of the same period as "Zhu Xian" was called "Piaomiao Journey". In fact, in Huanjian, "Piaomiao" was more popular than "Zhu Xian"!
Later, the game adaptation rights of both books were sold, and "The Misty Journey" was given to Zhiguan, the Taiwanese company that produced "The Legend of Jin Yong".
As we all know, Taiwanese companies have been wiped out in the era of online games. There has not been any online game that has become popular, and "Ethereal Journey" has not been able to make further progress.
"Zhu Xian" gave perfection.
The perfect online game originality ability is top-notch in the industry, and the game "Zhu Xian" has become a hit. The popularity of the game has also boosted the sales of Simplified Chinese...
Directly advance to the first IP level!
Why does Shen Xudong have this memory?
Because...he also played "Zhu Xian" in the original time and space...when the weapon reached +12, it exploded directly. He will remember this for the rest of his life!
It feels amazing...
But I have a question. Perfect World is probably still working on "Perfect World" right now. How could you have the idea to buy "Zhu Xian"?
Shen Xudong didn't need to consider these things. When Shen Haobo asked him his opinion, Shen Xudong said without hesitation: "Sell, definitely sell! The sooner the better!"
…
The excitement did not last long. Cao Ping called him to tell him the location of the audition the next day and asked him to prepare.
"No, Producer Cao, I haven't auditioned, what should I do?"
"Just watch from the side. If they think it's OK, if you think it's not OK, just say so!"
"...Oh, then...what if my opinion conflicts with Director Zheng's?"
Cao Ping on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "...Don't worry, you have to believe in your own vision!"
Well, three of the four heroines have been chosen, Yuying and Chen Hao, Erchun has initially chosen Cai Shaofen (Qin Wen likes her), Ruyue has chosen Yu Feihong...
There is only one Anxi left!
It's all related...
Of course they are all good and suitable actors.
The so-called audition selection actually means competition for supporting roles, such as Nalan Fuya, Bao Chan, Wuya Yuanqi and various palace maids. Guo Luoluo Shuning has also chosen Chen Xi!
Chen Xi still has to go through the process...
Shen Xudong's worries are completely unnecessary...
…
"I am not sure as well…"
Still unable to defeat Yan Danchen, Shen Xudong met with her. The latter asked him about the audition, and Shen Xudong told the truth.
We made an appointment in a private room of a small restaurant...
"Aren't you a casting consultant?"
"What a consultant means is to ask if you can, but if you can't, it's just a decoration!" Shen Xudong explained: "I'm just a screenwriter, I don't know anything... Director Zheng said he wanted me to look at beautiful women and feast my eyes on them, so I just coming!"
Yan Danchen was surprised: "Look at the beauty?"
"Yes, that's what you said..."
"Then what did you think of Anxi when you wrote it?"
Shen Xudong reacted immediately: "...you want to play An Qian?"
"Yes..." Yan Danchen was confused: "Can't I do it?"
An Qian, who was born in a coat with a yellow flag, was sent to the palace to become a palace maid at the age of twelve.
She is filial, has a sense of justice, is thoughtful, and is sophisticated. She has seen the cruel struggles in the harem and knows how to survive in the harem. She has always stayed out of it. Later, when she learned that her grandmother was killed by the queen, she began to implement a revenge plan. She knew full well what was going on in the harem. Killing the queen would lead to the emperor's favor. She put aside all personal relationships between men and women and devoted herself to designing to flatter the emperor, and finally succeeded in gaining the emperor's favor.
"Her background is persistence!"
"Perseverance? Isn't it kind?"
Shen Xudong shook his head: "Kindness is just a facade, she is a very stubborn person..."
Yan Danchen quickly wrote down...
Shen Xudong asked her: "What do you usually do during auditions?"
"Let's talk about character understanding first, and then let you act out a scene..."
"A piece from the script?"
"right!"
"Is it enough to pass?"
"How is that possible?" Yan Danchen shook his head: "I passed the audition for Wang Yuyan back then, but later on, I was still snatched away!"
Shen Xudong looked at her seriously. She had bright eyes and white teeth, gentle and beautiful, and had the quality of a classical beauty...
He swallowed and then comforted: "No, I heard them say that this audition is very formal!"
"Then you can speak to me when the time comes!"
"...I don't know if my words will work, but if the audition teacher asks about me, I will definitely recommend you!"
Yan Danchen didn't seem to believe it. He stood up and sat next to him, and asked with a smile: "Really?"
The distance was a bit close. Shen Xudong could even feel the smell of her breath. It smelled quite good. He nodded quickly: "Why are you lying to me? I don't know other actresses..."
"What if Qin Lan also wants to fight for An Qian?"
"...Qin Lan has a boyfriend..."
"What do you mean? Do you want to be my boyfriend?"
Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What I mean is that Qin Lan is actually not suitable for An Qian. Her paintings are too famous. She is suitable to play the kind of woman who looks gentle but has a fierce temper..."
At this time, Qin Lan's face was relatively square, his upper lip was deflated but his lower lip was plump and slightly turned out, so he seemed to have a slight underbite, and his appearance gave people a sense of unwillingness and invincibility!
Not suitable for pure weaklings...
So, she was cast as Wu Meiniang in "The Love of the Tang Dynasty"!
In the early days, the creators of our film and television dramas had a really amazing eye for selecting people...
"What about me? Is it suitable?"
"…Hard to say."
She leaned a little closer, and her whole body almost collapsed on Shen Xudong. Shen Xudong was a little distracted, but he still told the truth: "This drama is a key drama of the Beijing Television Center, and there are many people who want a piece of the pie... I don't know the specific situation. …”
"Then you have to help me..."
Shen Xudong couldn't bear it anymore and hugged her directly...
…
It has been three or four years since Yan Danchen debuted, but his stardom has been very dull.
In the entertainment industry, the relationship between hard work and success is disproportionate!
To get to the top in this industry, you either have a background or unspoken rules...or you are lucky and become famous in one play...
There is an example of Yan Danchen's classmate who directly starred in a major drama by walking on the dry road - BJ Gems Pictures spent 50 million to film "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty"...
Riding on a horse is so exciting!
Yan Danchen can't do it...
