Chapter 2589: There Are Good People Around
The two of them had a lot of topics to talk about during the meal, especially Ran Hao was quite interested in the short play that Dapeng had recently filmed, and he wanted to know some things about filming, which happened to hit Wang Likun's gun.
So the atmosphere of the chat was very good, and they talked about the topic that Wang Likun had no movies to film now.
"Why no movies to film, is the salary you asked too high?" Ran Hao asked with some curiosity.
Although he had learned some problems about filming and acting recently, he didn't know much about the entertainment industry. And he only read posts about literature when he browsed the forums online. He didn't like gossip about the entertainment industry since he was a child, let alone now. Unless the photos of the female stars exposed were very sexy, he didn't pay any attention to them at all.
So he was a little surprised that Wang Likun had no movies to film. Although he didn't know how good Wang Likun's acting was, in his superficial understanding of the entertainment industry, female stars just had to be beautiful, and acting skills didn't matter.
To be honest, he really doesn't understand this. After all, when he was a child, he only watched the monkeys in Journey to the West. When he grew up and reached adolescence, he felt that Zhao Yanzi was very cool and fun.
The requirements for the so-called acting skills of female stars are that the first is that the female star looks good, and the second is that she doesn't look awkward. These are the only two points. I really don't understand the others.
And Wang Likun is definitely beautiful enough. Not only is she beautiful, she has a good figure, and she is also very tall. In Ran Hao's opinion, this already has the conditions to become a female star. Others don't know anyway. If he makes a movie and becomes a director, he will definitely be happy to find such a beautiful girl as the heroine. So he is very confused about Wang Likun's lack of roles.
"It has nothing to do with the pay. Some roles don't want me even if they don't want the pay." Wang Likun felt through the chat just now that Ran Hao is a complete rookie in the entertainment industry.
"Why?" Ran Hao asked puzzledly.
"This is complicated to explain. Let me give you a simple example. In the entertainment industry, there are different circles. For example, the agency I signed with seems to be good, but the resources are limited, or the circle is not high-level enough and the connections are not good.
This resource may be a role resource for filming a movie or TV series, advertising resources, or commercial performances. In short, I need to rely on the company's resources to make a living.
But because the company is not very good and has limited resources, and there are many artists in the company, I can only find ways to grab more resources. If I can't grab them, I can only look for resources outside.
But this As for the resources outside, whether they are directors or investors, they also have their own companies, artists and friends, so they must use their own people.
In addition, I am only a little famous now, but not a big star. Some roles can be chosen by me, and it is the same if they are not chosen by me. It depends on who has a close relationship with the director or investor, and the role will be given to the one with a good relationship.
Even many big stars need to compete for resources. After all, there are only so many good resources. Everyone wants to make money and everyone wants to be popular. If you don’t compete, others will, and then you will miss the role. "
"I think I understand a little bit." Ran Hao nodded.
He did feel a little too good about the money in entertainment before, and it was not his fault. It was mainly because he didn’t know too many things in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry.
Whether it was Tong Yaya or Yang Zi, or the crew of Xu Guangtou before, or the crew of Dapeng some time ago, everyone was polite and looked very harmonious.
He mistakenly thought that other crews and stars were like this. At this time, he heard Wang Likun say this and realized that there must be competition in any industry.
For example, when he was delivering express before, the couriers liked to deliver small items and the recipients were good-tempered customers. Those who like to find trouble and complain at every turn, or those heavy and large items, no one is willing to deliver. There are many conflicts in an area for grabbing good items.
And it is said that the boss of his express delivery point had a fight with the boss of another express delivery point in order to grab the express resources in this area and was put in the police station for more than half a month.
Therefore, the competition in the entertainment industry, a fame and fortune field, must be more intense. Male and female stars who want to get ahead, flattering the high and stepping on the low, or stabbing in the back, this is probably a common thing.
He thinks the entertainment industry is good and harmonious, because his sister is Ran Feifei, and Ran Feifei is a relative of the big boss of Haina, and the executive president of the world catering giant Yangjiayan, so everyone is naturally polite to him.
Besides, he has no intention of entering the entertainment industry, which does not affect the resources and jobs of these people, so everyone naturally greets him with a smile and looks like a good person.
Or it can be said that the people around Ran Hao from childhood to adulthood are all good people. Even if there are a few bad friends who want to get some money from him, they are cautious and use various excuses such as treating and investing.
Even if they want to cooperate with Ran Hao in some business, they want to make money by relying on the reputation of the Ran family, rather than cheating Ran Hao of a sum of money and running away with the money.
"So now the company has no resources for you, and you can't find resources yourself, so there is no filming." Ran Hao said.
"That's about it."
"What are you going to do now?" Ran Hao asked.
"Try to find more resources. There is no requirement for pay. As long as it is a role that can show up in film and television works, it's fine. If it is a role that the audience can remember, it's even better.
I played a role before and it was not bad. I became popular for a while, but this kind of popularity came and went quickly. So I am in urgent need of exposure now, otherwise I guess the audience won't know who I am if I stay silent for a while."
"Exposure?" Ran Hao heard another new word that he didn't understand.
"I just want to appear in front of the audience more often, even if it's just to look familiar. Otherwise, the audience will feel strange when they see you and don't know who you are. What kind of star are you?" Wang Likun said.
Ran Hao couldn't help but nodded, "That seems to be the truth."
After saying that, he pondered for a moment and said, "If you just want exposure and don't have high salary requirements, I think the crew at Dapeng is quite suitable for you."
"That web drama that Heiner invested in?"
"Yeah." Ran Hao nodded.
"Can I get in over there?" Wang Likun had a look of surprise on her face. Although her expression was just a little surprised, her heart was already beating wildly.
Although online short dramas have continued to rise in recent years, it always feels like they are not on the stage, but that also depends on who invests. If it was invested by Haina, even an online short drama might take off on the same spot.
Didn’t you see that 361 Film and Television Platform has just collaborated with Haina on an online short drama? Didn’t the news just come out that major domestic film and television platforms are following up and increasing their investment in online dramas?
Since Haina has invested in this, it means that there must be a market for this and we must keep up. Although Wang Likun yearns for the big screen and wants to be a big star.
But now that it has been quiet for so long after being a small hit, it is almost becoming a passerby. I am definitely willing to join a short drama that may become popular and return to the audience, even if it is an online drama that is despised by the industry.
More importantly, according to the news she learned, besides the people Dapeng had found before, who were the people who went to film this short play?
Yang Zi, Tong Yaya, Deng Chao, and even Fan Binbin all went there, and big names from Hong Kong also participated. There are so many big stars, and for her to be involved in a small role, it's like climbing a high tree.
"I should be able to get in. I went to the set before and Dapeng said they were short of actors and asked me to be interested in appearing a few more times." Ran Hao said.
Hearing what Ran Hao said, Wang Likun's excited heart froze. With the current popularity of the crew, the lack of actors was obviously a kind word to Ran Hao. Now that second- and third-tier stars are rushing in, how can there be a shortage of actors?
Or maybe Dapeng knew Ran Hao's identity and wanted to please him, so he asked him to perform more performances to build a relationship. So this shortage of actors is indeed a shortage for Ran Hao, but if it is Wang Likun, a second- and third-tier star, there are even so many first-tier stars that he can't choose. Who cares who you are, a little star who is not even a third-tier star.
