The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Li Zhen recently ran for a long time in Los Angeles, especially in places like the Screen Actors Guild near Hollywood.

He is busy choosing actors for "De Marcia: Glory". This matter is a task assigned to him by the headquarters.

Speaking of Li Zhen, he was also a high-achieving student at the beginning. He graduated from a prestigious American school. After returning to China, he entered ‘Dimensional Entertainment’.

In the beginning, he worked in the marketing department as Wu Jingtong's subordinate. Later, because his work attitude and ability were very good, and he made a lot of achievements, he was taken back to the United States by the company and took charge of the "Dimension North America" ​​branch. The main job is to directly take charge of the entire North America. Work on the promotion of entertainment works.

At the same time, ‘Dimension North America’ will also be responsible for some work in South America, but its influence in South America is very weak.

Since he was transferred to the United States and based in Los Angeles, the content of his work has gradually changed.

He did start with the content promotion of Dimension Entertainment. The most important part is the promotion of the game "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" in the North American market. He has been in contact with the publisher Activision.

But later, as the head office paid more and more attention to the North American market, his job content was just marketing promotion from the beginning, and it became more complicated. Even a lot of sales and business cooperation work required him. Come here.

At the beginning, he was a little rushed, but later, as the accumulated experience became more and more abundant, he also found that he became more and more comfortable.

In the United States, he also recruited many employees, from all ethnic groups; the company headquarters also transferred a lot of people, and the shelf of ‘Dimension North America’ has become bigger and bigger.

Today, they have surpassed Dimension Japan and become the largest branch of Dimension Group outside of mainland China, with more than 60 employees.

Hiring so many people and putting up such a big frame, they have finally achieved some results.

They and Activision jointly carried out the promotion and maintenance of "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2"; sold the North American market copyrights of some old works of Dimension Entertainment in the past, seven or eighty eight; "Hell Apartment" The copyrights of a North American screening, CD-ROM, and network on-demand have all been sold, and the upper part of the TV series "Budo Master" has also been successfully sold...

As for the movie projects of Dimension Entertainment, the work of finding and contacting actors is also done by Li Zhen.

For example, the villain of "Budo Master: Fire of War", the "18th", was brought by Li Zhen himself to talk with Henry Cavill.

After the preparation of the "Demacia: Glory" project began, he received a call from Fan Zhe from overseas, saying that he would also be appointed as one of the executive producers of the film "Demacia: Glory". And is responsible for finding suitable actors in North America.

At the same time, during the phone call, Fan Zhe also said that after a while, he will fly to Los Angeles with Liu Minghui, the director of the movie, to watch the audition in person and meet with relevant actors.

After the call, Fan Zhe immediately sent him an email with a lot of information about the project, especially Zhu Zonggong has a role list and the requirements for these roles.

For most of the roles, the role is not very important, the salary budget given is also average, the requirements for famous coffee positions are not high, and it is easier to find. During his stay in the United States, Li Zhen has also accumulated some contacts and partnerships, and he has easily found many suitable actors.

Among them, one of the more famous is the actor of the villain Urgot.

Li Zhen contacted a British actor named Conan Stevens. He once played the role of "Magic Mountain" in the first season of "Game of Thrones".

It should be good for him to be Urgot, the powerful Noxian executioner.

But for the rest, there are two very important roles, and he is a little uncertain.

One is Laxana's crown defender, which is ‘Glorious Lady Lux’, and the other is Galen’s crown defender.

The brothers and sisters of the two crown defenders, according to Fan Zhe, are preparing to adopt Western white actors.

In fact, the whole movie "De Marcia: Glory", from investment to production company, is of Chinese descent, but the selection of actors is very international.

Originally, Li Zhen thought that Galen’s actor should be the main focus, after all, this will be one of the two heroes of the movie. Relatively speaking, the time Lacus played in the film is very small, and I don't know if there are ten minutes in total.

But unexpectedly, in the follow-up communication with Fan Zhe, Fan Zhe asked him to look for the actor of Lux, and there were many requests.

One is good appearance. You want a blonde girl with a sunny and beautiful appearance, who looks very kind and strong; second, there are certain requirements for acting.

Just these are easy to find.

But in addition, there are some requirements: the popularity does not need to be too high, but it must be required to sign a long-term contract, and the increase in the salary is in the contract, which must be strictly controlled.

Although Fan Zhe did not say clearly, Li Zhen also has his own guess from these requirements: It is estimated that this is for the future sequel, and maybe even an independent film of "Glorious Girl Lux". . If you don’t sign the agreement in advance, and when someone finishes filming the first part, it’s going to go viral, and the second part will immediately open his mouth and open his mouth for a salary of several million dollars. Isn’t that kidding?

The rate of increase in the salary that should be given is something that people deserve; but after the film is finished, the role will become popular with the help of this role, and then the salary will grow wildly, and it will be impossible to play.

Signing a long-term contract naturally has its meaning.

Not only Lux, including Galen's actors, have the same requirements. It's just that Galen's actors should choose the more famous Hollywood actor ~www.ltnovel.com~ With these requirements, Li Zhen has been running for a long time.

Actress, he looked for five or six candidates, and at the same time he pulled a list of dozens of actresses who were not well-known, waiting for Fan Zhe to come back and pick them.

But the actors of ‘Galen’ are quite difficult to find.

Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Charlie Hannum, Ryan Gosling...

He looked for this series of names.

There was one who directly refused when he heard that he was going to make a movie in China. There was a lion who opened his mouth and opened his mouth for tens of millions of dollars in pay; one heard that he would not talk about signing multiple film contracts at all...

The entire initial contact was very unsatisfactory.

But in the end, some actors still accepted his initial offer-at least there is a tendency to continue talking.

Chris Evans, the actor of Captain America Steve Rogers in Marvel’s superhero movies.
