Chapter 389 The Popularity of Actors... Maybe Something Good Will Fall From the Sky?

Fang Rong also understood this truth. Movies pay more attention to user experience, while TV series focus more on commercial closed loops. This matter involves the company's revenue, so he can't say much.

So, he and the producer cast their eyes on Chen Xiao at the same time.

Chen Xiao felt the gazes of the crowd, left the back of the chair, sat up straight, and looked at everyone.

"As a screenwriter, I have the same opinion as Director Fang. Then let me talk about my thoughts as the company's chief content officer."

"It is indeed risky to use newcomers. Looking at the revenue of this drama alone, Fang Yizhou is a better choice."

"But from the perspective of Oriental Media's brand, I pay more attention to the quality of TV series."

"In other words, I hope to form a brand effect for the production team. No matter which actor plays the role, each of our TV series can be sold at a high price."

"So when promoting, also mention the company and the production team more."

There is another reason, which he didn't say directly.

Next, to create a martial arts world, "knight" is not a point to be avoided, but a point to be promoted and emphasized.

At this point, Qi Mu's temperament is very good, and he is a new face, so he doesn't need to break the existing screen image like Fang Yizhou.

But this is the plan for next year, and you can tell the company's senior management, but you can't leak it to the middle management. In case the plan leaks out, other companies will grab a share of the pie as soon as the craze is set off.

The producer nodded, "Okay, I understand. I will strengthen the publicity of the production team and the company in the publicity plan."

Chen Xiao closed the information, leaned against the back of the chair and smiled, "In addition, the popularity of the actors... maybe pie in the sky will fall?"

Nowadays, how many eyes are staring at "Legend of Sword and Fairy". From actors to platforms, and then to brands.

Maybe Qi Mu's name will be popular all over the Internet without waiting for the show to start.

I just don't know if anyone has thrown a pie.

The producer squeezed out a bitter smile, "Yes, maybe."

Chen Xiao smiled and looked at Fang Rong.

Fang Rong gave him an OK gesture and looked at the casting coordinator, "Then Xiao Yu, ask him to come over tomorrow afternoon or the day after tomorrow morning to rehearse with other actors."

"Okay."

"Okay, call it a day! Let's eat."

...

"What? Me, me, me, me?"

Qi Mu almost lost his grip on the phone.

Can someone slap him?

A supporting role candidate becomes a leading role?

What the hell?

He took a deep breath and said seriously, "I understand. I still need to see the chemistry with other actors. Don't worry, I will be humble and perform seriously!"

As soon as he said that, Qi Mu pursed his lips.

Oh no, the words seemed to reveal his great experience of writing self-criticism since childhood.

"Well, thank you for the notice, senior. I don't have class tomorrow afternoon, and the class the day after tomorrow morning. The teacher is very easy to talk to, and I can also ask for leave. If you need other times, I can also coordinate!"

The casting coordinator on the other side replied, "Then come over tomorrow afternoon and the day after tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thank you, senior!"

After hanging up the phone, Qi Mu felt like he was floating on the clouds. The whole person was floating.

Is it really him? Yesterday I thought he was just a soy sauce.

Calm down, it's not over yet, don't get too excited.

He stood there motionless for two minutes before looking at his phone again.

Ask for leave!

To ask for leave, you need the consent of the counselor and the teacher.

This reason can definitely be approved. Ask the counselor when he will be there first.

Qi Mu suppressed his excitement, opened the chat software, and quickly typed in the chat box with the counselor: "Teacher, I need to take a leave of absence from the class the day after tomorrow morning because I may be selected as the male lead of Dongchuan's new film. May I ask when you will be in the office so that I can find you to sign the leave application."

The next second after sending it, an ellipsis was sent from the other side, and a voice message popped up soon.

Clicking the voice message, the counselor's voice came from the speaker: "Qi Mu, can you find a normal reason for your leave? This is more outrageous than the last reason of 'I may catch a cold the day after tomorrow'."

Qi Mu really wanted to cry, and quickly replied: "Really. I'll go get a certificate!"

...

More than a day passed quickly.

On the morning of January 25th.

In a townhouse community in the capital, the sun was shining in the living room of a villa.

"What?" Fang Yizhou, who was half lying down, held his mobile phone and sat up suddenly, with the mask sliding off his face.

He didn't care about the mask that fell on the sofa, and quickly asked back: "Qi Mu was chosen? Why did he..."

Halfway through his words, he frowned and changed his tone, "Wait, who is Qi Mu?"

After a moment, he widened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "What? A sophomore who has only guest-starred in two dramas?"

Why? Why should he be compared to such a person?

Is Oriental Media so poor?

Can't even afford the salary of 1.5 million per episode? They didn't even consider lowering the price.

Fang Zizhou suppressed his anger and asked, "Why? What's his background? Who's behind him? Can we still fight for it?"

The agent on the other side said in a steady voice, "Zizhou, calm down. There is still hope for this matter. Calm down and I'll continue."

Fang Zizhou covered his forehead and took a deep breath to calm his brain.

Ten seconds later, he took a long breath, put down his left hand, and forced a smile.

Just as he was about to speak, his left hand touched something wet. He looked down and found it was a facial mask. He threw the mask into the trash can, "Brother Tang, I really want this role. I want to transform."

He debuted from a talent show. His fans are young, and their interests and preferences change quickly.

Every year, a large number of newcomers enter the market through talent shows.

Even though he is a top star now, if he does not transform quickly, he will be easily replaced by newcomers.

And he knows that the company also wants to maximize his commercial value while he is the most popular, and has hardly made a long-term development plan for him.

If he can win this "Legend of Sword and Fairy", he will definitely be able to gain a foothold!

What the hell is that Qi Mu? Where did he come from? It's really speechless.

Fang Zizhou squatted down, closed his eyes, and buried his head on the edge of the sofa. "Brother Tang, shouldn't I have said 1.5 million per episode? Should I just give 1.3 million or 1.2 million? Damn, what should I do?"

The calm voice of the agent came from the phone, "Don't worry, they must not have signed the contract yet. How many crews have changed the leading actors during this period? Don't worry."

"I know, my mind is very confused now. Brother, do you have any ideas?"

The agent on the other side was silent for a while, and slowly said: "I'll call you, of course there is a way."
