Chapter 310 Dimension North America
Li Zhen has been in Los Angeles recently, especially in places like the Actors Union near Hollywood, and so on.
He is busy choosing actors in "Demacia: Glory", and this matter is a task assigned to him by the headquarters.
Speaking of Li Zhen, he was also a top student studying abroad. He graduated from a prestigious American university and joined "Dimensional Entertainment" after returning to China.
At the beginning, he worked in the marketing department and served as a subordinate of Wu Jingtong. Later, because of his excellent work attitude and ability, he also made a lot of achievements, so he was photographed back to the United States by the company and took charge of the "Dimensional North America" branch. His main job was to directly be responsible for promoting works in the entire North America.
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.
As he was transferred to the United States and stayed in Los Angeles, the content of his work has gradually changed.
He did start with the content promotion of "Dimensional Entertainment". The most important part is the promotion of the game "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2" in the North American market, and has always maintained a connection with publisher Activision.
But later, as the head office paid more and more attention to the North American market, his work content was only done marketing from the beginning, becoming more complicated, and even many sales and business cooperation work were required to come here.
At the beginning, he was a little more and less busy, but later on, as his experience became more and more abundant, he also found that he was becoming more and more skillful.
He also recruited a lot of employees in the United States, including from all ethnic groups; the company headquarters has also transferred a lot of people, and the "dimension North America" airtip is getting bigger and bigger.
Today, they have surpassed "Dimension Japan" and become the largest branch of "Dimension Group" outside mainland China, with more than 60 employees.
After recruiting so many people and setting up such a big air, they have finally made some achievements.
They jointly promoted and maintained "Taiwu Painting 2" with Activision; sold all the copyrights of some old works in the past, including those of the North American market; sold all the copyrights of the first North American screening, CD, and online on-demand broadcasts of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts"...
For example, film projects such as Dimension Entertainment, the work of finding and contacting actors is also done by Li Zhen.
For example, the villain "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts: War" was written by Li Zhen personally and talked about it after contacting Henry Cavill.
After the project "Demacia: Glory" began, he received a cross-border call from Van Zhe, saying that he would also be appointed as one of the executive producers of the movie "Demacia: Glory" and would be responsible for finding suitable actors in North America.
At the same time, on the phone, Fan Zhe also said that in a while, he will take the film director Liu Minghui to Luocheng, watch the audition in person, and meet with relevant actors.
After the phone call, Fan Zhe immediately sent him an email, which contained a lot of information about the project, especially Zhu Quangong had a role list and the requirements for these roles.
Most characters and roles are not very important, and the pay budget given is average, and the requirements for fame and status are not high, so it is easier to find. During the days of Li Zhen staying in the United States, he has also accumulated some connections and cooperative relationships, and he has easily found many suitable actors.
Among them, one of the more famous ones is the actor of the villain Urgot.
Li Zhen contacted a British actor named Conan Stevens. He once played the role of "Demon Mountain" in the first season of "Game of Thrones".
It should be pretty good to be Urgot, a powerful Noxus prisoner.
But there are two very important roles left, and he is a little confused.
One is Laxana, the champion guard, that is, the "Glorious Girl. Lux", and the other is Garen, the champion guard.
According to Fan Zhe's intention, these two brothers and sisters of the Mian Guard family are preparing to adopt white Western actors.
In fact, in total, although the movie "Demacia: Glory" has a true Chinese descent from investment to production companies, it is very international in selecting actors.
Originally, Li Zhen thought that Garen's actors should be the main focus, after all, this will be one of the two male protagonists in the movie. Relatively speaking, Lux's appearance time is very rare in the movie, and I don't know if there are ten minutes in total.
But unexpectedly, in the subsequent communication with Fan Zhe, Fan Zhe asked him to find Lux's actors well, and there were many requests.
One is a girl with a good appearance and a blonde girl with a sunny and beautiful appearance, and looks kind and strong; the second is that she also has certain requirements for acting skills.
Just these, it's easy to find.
But in addition, there are some requirements: the popularity does not need to be too high, but it is necessary to sign a long-term contract, and the increase in the salary in the contract must be strictly controlled.
Although Fan Zhe did not make it clear, from these requirements, Li Zhen also had his own guess: it was probably prepared for the future sequels, and maybe even, it might be possible to make an independent movie of "Glorious Girl. Lux". If the agreement is not signed in advance, the first one will become popular after the second one, and the second one will be immediately spoke up and asked for a million dollars in salary. Wouldn't that be a joke?
The increase in the pay that should be paid is what others deserve; but after filming the movie, you can't become popular with this role and continue to take on it and the pay will grow rapidly, and you can't play it anymore.
Signing a long contract naturally has its meaning.
Even more than Lux, including Garen's actors, have the same requirements. However, Garen's actors should choose Hollywood actors who are currently famous.
With these requests, Li Zhen has been running for a long time.
As an actress, he found five or six alternatives, and also brought up a list of dozens of unfamous actresses in it, just waiting to turn back, Fan Zhe came over and chose it again.
But the actors of "Galen" are quite difficult to find.
Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Charlie Hannam, Ryan Gosling...
He looked for all these series of names.
Some people refused when they heard that they were going to China to shoot a movie. Some people spoke up and said that they had to pay tens of millions of dollars in films. Some people didn't talk about it at all when they heard that they wanted to sign multiple film contracts...
The entire initial contact was very difficult.
But in the end, an actor accepted his initial offer—at least he had a tendency to continue talking about it.
