Hengdian Film and TELEVISION City vigorously cultivates artists

On December 25, "Qingya Collection", directed by Guo Jingming and starring Zhao Youting and Deng Lun, was released. Hengdian Film and Television City Actor Agency Co., Ltd. signed the artist Lu Zhanxiang in the movie as Jin Lingzi. In the movie, Jin Lingzi is very affectionate, and the spirit power beads in his body are high-energy gathering magic instruments. Silently guarding his master, he gave up his life for the sake of righteousness, and the phrase "no regrets in this life, honored to serve", has given fans many touches in recent days.

When it comes to actors in Hengdian, most people's first impression is "horizontal drifting". In fact, Hengdian is cultivating its own artists, including Lu Zhanxiang, and the company has signed contracts with 12 artists such as He Chuqing, Zhu Rongrong, and Tang Qi.

"Qingya Collection" is a new attempt the director is strict

Combining the quantity, quality and popularity of the works, Lu Zhanxiang's traffic is outstanding among the company's artists. When he met Lu Zhanxiang, he had just finished attending the premiere of "Qingya Collection" and flew back to Hengdian from Beijing.

Lu Zhanxiang signed a contract with the company in 2016. In 2019, he stood out from the casting of "Qingya Collection" and got the opportunity to interview director Guo Jingming, and the interview process lasted nearly 3 hours. "Chatting, auditioning, the process is not complicated." Lu Zhanxiang said. In the end, he was selected to play Jin Lingzi.

Before the official start-up, Lu Zhanxiang trained for more than a month. Memorizing lines is not difficult for Lu Zhanxiang, but the first time shooting a fantasy film, the understanding of the plot requires a process. "There are a lot of action scenes, hanging Weia every day, many times hanging Weia upside down, flying and flying out of the camera." Lu Zhanxiang said that he was honored to participate in the filming of "Qingya Collection", and Jin Lingzi was a brand new attempt for him, and there were many differences from the roles he played in the past. "Because there are a lot of special effects involved in the post, it takes the imagination and high commitment of the actors before the green screen on the set, which is also a rare experience in my previous roles."

On the set, Guo Jingming was very strict with actors, and Lu Zhanxiang remembered that one of the words he often said was "let's do it again.". In his opinion, the predecessors of the cooperation, Zhao Youting, Deng Lun, and Wang Duo, are very kind and interesting.

Only 4 years after his debut, Lu Zhanxiang has gained a lot of resources with his own efforts and the platform provided by the company. Looking at his acting experience, it can be found that this teenager has played many roles: he is the teenager Zhang Wujie in "The New Heavenly Dragon Slaughter"; he is Xiao Yang Guo in "The New God Eagle Hero"; he is Ah Pu in "Childhood Goes Away"; he is the teenager Qingwen in "Taiwan's Past"; he is Xiao Bi Thirteen in "Together Through the Window 2"; he is the teenager Yan Fengchen in "Fu Shao"; he is Li Qin's disciple Empty City in "Splendid South Song"; and he partners Li Zhiting in the variety show "City of Illusion"... Lu Zhanxiang has his own understanding of each character.

"A very spirited, expressive and camera-like child." He Zhenjie, artist director of Hengdian Film and Television City Actor Agency Co., Ltd., said. In the first two years, when Lu Zhanxiang played the male number one in most roles, although the cooperation was a traffic star, the company has been considering his transformation path since last year.

From a blank piece of paper to the present, Lu Zhanxiang can be said to be an out-and-out "small drama bone". However, fading the appearance of the actor's role, he has his own code of conduct and does not like to be arranged; likes to play basketball and enjoys a carefree campus life; likes to read books, and often soaks in the library because of the books he likes.

Leverage the Hengdian film and television platform to provide high-quality resources

Hengdian Film and Television City Actor Agency Co., Ltd. began to sign artists after the reorganization in 2016, the company is fully responsible for the discovery, training, promotion, publicity, transportation and other work of artists, and is committed to creating a professional and systematic service platform for artists. Among them, it mainly involves film and television shooting, celebrity event promotion, commercial performance advertising, live broadcasting, and activity publicity of various enterprises under Hengdian Group.

The 12 actors who have signed the contract have different ages and different positionings. Actor Zhu Rongrong has been playing for 12 years, and has participated in many popular dramas such as "Liu Li", "Ancient Sword Qitan", "Xiao ju's Spring", "The Legend of the New White-haired Witch", "Sui and Tang Dynasties", "Shushan War Chronicles" and so on. Zhu Rongrong feels that each role has its own unique personality, and how to show this personality to the audience through his own understanding and experience is the ability of the actor and the charm of the actor.

In addition to acting, the actors also have many activities and commercial performances. After signing the contract, the company is responsible for packaging and nurturing it and selecting the script for it. As a contracted artist, all performing arts planning and event arrangements are operated by the company.

"Speaking of Hengdian, everyone is more familiar with 'horizontal drifting', including extras, special actors and so on." He Zhenjie said that in order to further improve the film and television industry chain, Hengdian decided to create its own artists, "professional quality is according to the standard requirements of artists, we will also choose from the Central Academy of Drama, Beijing Film Academy and other professional colleges, the start is relatively high." Hengdian makes "stars" and has its advantages. He Zhenjie introduced that Hengdian has the largest film and television shooting base in China, the crew is endless, and the group itself has film and television production companies and cinema lines, "with the rich film and television resources of Hengdian Film and Television City, to create a good working environment for these artists."
