Chapter 385: Shrimp
We all know the common sense of a good horse with a good saddle.
How much improvement a good leading actor can bring to a film and television drama cannot be described in a few words! Let’s not talk about anything else, just the most basic point, which is to reflect the role in the promotion of film and television dramas——
Under the same external publicity methods and slogans, one tells you that the popular muscular hunk Peng Yuyan is starring; the other tells you that the well-known comedian Song Dabao is starring, I will ask you, which one would you choose?
"Okay, no problem, leave it to me!" Situ Rui took it all in. He has been in the entertainment industry for so many years. Although he didn't make a big name for himself, it was because he lacked an opportunity back then. Now he has the opportunity. Yes, and I have grasped it. In this circle, I can still find someone to talk to more or less. This is the benefit of experience.
As for the worries expressed in Li Chungang's words, Situ Rui understood very well.
As one of the only two investors in the "Sword Come" film and television drama project, and also the original author and screenwriter, it is normal for Li Chungang to have this consideration. You must know that he just proposed that there is a suitable candidate. Just giving an opinion.
Situ Rui, who has been in many film crews, has seen more investors who are even more outrageous. Directors still have some rights in large film crews, but the capital still "forces" the stars they want to support to important roles one by one. "Sai, it doesn't matter whether it's suitable or not, and the acting skills are not good enough. This has already been calculated. In some small production groups, it is almost equivalent to the management being the father. As long as the money is in place, any requirements can be met. You can use whoever you want, and the director doesn’t care about stuffing them in. How good is the actor's acting skills, just take a good shot of yourself...
Anyway, if you want to control it, you can't control it!
The phenomenon of "playing big names" is commonplace and not uncommon in the entertainment industry, but most of the things have not been exposed by the media.
The issue of employers intervening in casting candidates for film and television dramas is about to become a tacitly accepted "hidden rule" in the entertainment industry. Even Situ Rui himself plans to sign some potential newcomers to his company and arrange for a few to at least show his face. The supporting role of the line, this is very human, there is no reason to spend your own money to praise artists from other companies.
After Gu Wan'er nodded in agreement, the two parties roughly agreed that Situ Rui would be responsible for the search for directors and preparations for the film crew in the early stage, and then the subsequent casting location would be placed on Yanjing's side, and he, the author, would be called on at that time to proceed.

At the same time, Yaoyang was in Yanjing's home, and two men with somewhat similar faces were sitting facing each other drinking tea.
If there are ashes readers who are familiar with the Internet literature circle here, they can recognize at first sight that these two are the top gods in the Internet literature world, but one of them has retired for a long time and has gradually faded out of the Internet literature world and lived in seclusion behind the scenes Xiao Xianliang, and the other, needless to say, is Yaoyang, who has been ranked number one on the Rich List of Internet Writers for many years!
Speaking of the name Xiao Xianliang, most readers may find it unfamiliar, but if the pen name "Xiao Wang Ye" is mentioned, the first reaction is probably: "Ah... so it is him!"
In the old days when fantasy was everywhere and fairy tales were popular, and the history category was as boring as the study of history, it was not like a novel. Lord Xiao used "Yipin Jiading" to inject vitality into the entire lifeless history classification channel. A shot in the arm also made countless authors who love history realize from that moment...
It turns out that historical novels can also be written so vividly, interestingly and uniquely!
If we really want to talk about the authors of "one book conferred gods", Lord Xiao should be regarded as the real originator of one book conferred gods,
The book "Yipin Jiading" was the most popular book at the time. After just over a month of accumulation on the shelves, it swept all the major charts with splendor. Yang, and it is precisely because of this that the two met and became friends.
Just when everyone thought that Prince Xiao would gradually become a giant tree in the historical classification of the entire online literature world, he resolutely chose to seal the pen after finishing the book "Yipin Jiading" when all readers could not believe it. Retired behind the scenes and no longer wrote web articles.
Some people say that he is at the end of his talents, and knowing that he will never be able to write such a masterpiece as "Yipin Jiading", he might as well just go forward at this time, at least to preserve his reputation.
Some people also said that he wrote novels purely out of interest, and after he finished it, he felt that there was no point in going home and inheriting billions of dollars.
This may be the earliest realistic version of "XXX" if you don't do well, you have to go home and inherit the family business.
Lord Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling the bitterness and the sweet tea aroma that rushed to the taste buds in the next second, and asked calmly after putting it down: "I heard that the guy from Zhichun Zhigang's new book The film and television drama to be filmed has a lot of investment, and the action is not small, it seems that you want to get a share of the entertainment industry?"
Yaoyang smiled noncommittally: "Not everyone with a discerning eye can see this. I have adapted "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" once before and the effect is already good. It's a pity that the cooperator is such a huge character as Hua Ce, and the cast is also luxurious. A small The screenwriter, even if there is still the original author, the limelight is still completely overshadowed, no matter how you look at it, it is not the right time, so this year's second part left and did not continue to cooperate with Hua Ce."
"Smart, knowing how to advance and retreat." Xiao Xianliang only had five words for Li Chungang's choice.
"Isn't that right? I heard that the film and television copyright of the new book "Sword Come" was filmed in cooperation with a rich second-generation reader. It seems that it is under preparation. If this is a coincidence, it might actually run into you. Can you tell me?" Be careful."
Xiao Xianliang was completely unmoved by Yaoyang's reminder, and still had an expression of an old god: "I never underestimate others, let alone myself! Everyone knows the truth of being careful when sailing for thousands of years. , but if it is God's will that we really meet, then come and have a try and compete."
Just as there is no groundless rumor in this world, it is widely rumored that the reason why he closed his pen and faded out of the Internet literature circle is that he wants to go home and inherit the family business. There was just a "mistake" in the details. What was inherited was not a billionaire fortune, but an entertainment business company that was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Every family has a book that is difficult to recite, and Xiao Xianliang's family is not the same. The manuscript fee obtained by "Yipin Jiading" has not been used to enjoy it, but it has been resolutely used to fill the big hole in the family company. However, after he took over, relying on the cooperation with some great old friends in the Internet literature circle, he should not over-pursue the so-called big investment, but focus on shooting small-cost Internet dramas adapted from Internet literature.
Over the past few years, several online dramas adapted from web novels have become popular, and they have taken advantage of the trend to popularize many contracted artists under their own company. Only then did they gradually turn around their profits and losses.
