When Jiang Yulou and all the auditioning actors left, only director Dai Linfeng and director Wang Fulin were left in the CCTV audition room.
"Director Wang, are the people in the actor list given by Comrade Xiao Jiang suitable?"
Wang Fulin was silent for a moment, then picked up the resumes of the auditionees from the table, selected the resumes of Tang Guoqiang, Gong Xue and others, and placed them in front of Dai Linfeng.
He said: "Among these people, Tang Guoqiang is undoubtedly the best, followed by Gong Xue, and Chen Daomin is a little behind, but he is smart, has a professional background, and has no problem with his skills. Even Zhu Lin, who is the worst..."
Dai Linfeng said: "Can't Zhu Lin do it?"
"It's not impossible. Zhu Lin's acting skills are definitely not up to par, but her biggest advantage is her beauty, no less beautiful than Gong Xue. It's no problem to play a small supporting role." Wang Fulin sighed.
Dai Linfeng asked: "In other words, the actors on the list given by Xiao Jiang will have no problem playing the roles he chose?"
"Even if there are problems, it's not a big deal. The most important thing is that they are willing to participate in TV series, and the pay is not high." Wang Fulin said.
Dai Linfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Great, now the actor problem is solved. I don't know where Xiao Jiang found these people."
Wang Fulin was silent, he couldn't figure this out. He is a director in the film and television industry and prides himself on knowing actors, but he was at a loss when facing this group of people.
But as Dai Linfeng said, it's a good thing that the actor problem has been solved, but now the only problem is the script.
In fact, the problem with the script is not big. Since Jiang Yulou is the screenwriter of the crew and needs to communicate with him as the director frequently, he also knows the progress of the script and it will be completed in the next few days.
Now everything is ready, just waiting for funding from Taichung.
A week later, the script was approved and the actors signed contracts. Tang Guoqiang and others also became actors in the crew, among which Tang Guoqiang and Gong Xue were still the male and female protagonists.
When the news was announced, book fans and movie fans were excited.
Because according to published information, the production cost of "The Conspiracy" was one million, which was an astronomical figure in this era, and neither book fans nor movie fans were sure. But when the cast list was announced, the doubts disappeared.
You know, the first male lead is Tang Guoqiang.
He is an actor from Bayi Film Studio. He became the leading actor in the first movie he participated in. Interestingly, Chen Peisi also played a small supporting role in the drama.
In the following years, he starred in several well-received and famous movies, and became very famous.
There is an anecdote that the term "cream cake" was specially invented to criticize him, because he said in an interview that he loves to eat cream cakes.
The male protagonist is enough to make book fans and movie fans look forward to it, but when we look at the actresses... Good guys, each one is prettier than the last, this TV series is going to be incredible!
With this lineup and this cost, the film was absolutely wonderful.
At this moment, everyone's expectations were suddenly heightened.
Affected by this, the novel became a hit again.
"Oh, this money is so profitable. Unfortunately, there is no royalty system now. Otherwise, I can achieve financial freedom with this book."
Under the envious eyes of the bank staff, Jiang Yulou left the bank. Of course, there was another deposit in the passbook in his hand.
This money naturally comes from the royalties from print runs settled by contemporary magazines.
Selling half a million copies in one month is an unprecedented achievement. This was something that was unimaginable in the past, but now it has actually happened.
According to data collected from bookstores across the country, the annual sales of "The Conspiracy" are expected to exceed one million copies.
Author of one million copies, this is an incredible honor.
Of course, no glory is as real as monetary rewards. Anyway, when Jiang Yulou saw a large sum of royalties in his hand, he felt as happy as drinking a bottle of iced Coke in the dog days of summer.
Don't talk about him, even the contemporary magazine is very happy.
The price of "Conspiracy" is not low, it can even catch up with "Contemporary" magazine. The sales volume of 500,000 copies is much higher than the sales volume of contemporary books for the entire year last year.
Coupled with the opening of the first issue of "Contemporary" this year, the company's financial statements will look much better. This is an extremely good result for a magazine that was founded less than a year ago.
The only regret is that Jiang Yulou is not the exclusive writer of "Contemporary". This also allowed the editors to see the value of Jiang Yulou. If he publishes new works in the future, he must win over contemporary magazines.
After Jiang Yulou returned to school, Director Ji heard the news and called him over.
"Director Ji, are you looking for me?"
"Yulou, you are so popular now that even the China National People's Broadcasting Station is calling you."
"The Central People's Broadcasting Station is looking for me?"
"Yeah, I'm wondering too. I wonder if they want to interview you?"
After Director Ji finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to him, "This is the phone number left by the other party. He said he hopes you can call them back as soon as possible. He said he has something important to do with you."
"Okay, I'll call him now." Jiang Yulou was also curious about what the Central People's Broadcasting Station was looking for, so he borrowed the phone number in Ji Zhenghuai's office and called him.
After two beeps, the phone was connected. Before Jiang Yulou could speak, the other party's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, is this Teacher Jiang Yulou?"
"Uh... I'm Jiang Yulou, but I'm not a teacher."
"Teacher Jiang, you are so kind. I am Zuo Moye from China National Radio."
"Hello, what do you want from me?"
"Is such that……"
After Zuo Moye introduced himself, Jiang Yulou learned that the other party was the person in charge of the first program of China National Broadcasting and Television Station. The reason why he contacted Jiang Yulou was for his novel "The Conspiracy".
"You guys want to broadcast a radio drama?" Jiang Yulou said his purpose in one sentence.
Zuo Mo was also surprised and said, "Ah, does Teacher Jiang know about radio dramas too?"
"I know a little bit about it." Jiang Yulou said calmly.
Radio drama is called Radio Drama in English. It is recognized that it was born in the United Kingdom and the United States in the 1920s and was broadcast on public radio stations.
In China, the first radio drama was the anti-Japanese drama "Horrible Memories" produced by Asia-American Broadcasting Company in January 1933.
The first radio drama after the founding of New China was "Ten Thousand Plywood" which premiered on the Central People's Broadcasting Station in February 1950.
"Yes, our first CCTV program aired the novel "The Legend of Yue Fei" last year, which was widely praised by the audience. Unfortunately, there are no such popular programs this year. Just when the station was worried, CCTV News got out that your novel "The Conspiracy" will be filmed.
So, I bought a copy of your novel and was fascinated by it as soon as I read it. So I thought about whether your novel could be broadcast in Taiwan. When I checked in, the leader was very supportive. "
"Okay, but how much will you pay?"
