Millennium Director

Chapter 319 Actor? No!

Now, the class circle of domestic entertainment is very obvious.

Advertising actors < TV actors < movie actors.

In the first five years of the millennium, there was actually no such saying in the circle, and there was almost no distinction between TV actors and movie actors.

The four Dans and Shuang Bing all acted in both TV series and movies, and it did not mean that they looked down on TV series because they acted in movies.

But after 2005, as China became more and more integrated with the international community, the entertainment industry food chain of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea was soon learned by China.

Movie actors are actors at the top of the food chain. Once an actor has established a foothold in the film industry, he will no longer shoot TV series.

Zhao Junqi, Zhou Xun, Shuang Bing and others stopped shooting TV series after they established a foothold in the film industry, and they thought that shooting TV series was a matter of losing their status.

It's a simple truth. Watching TV series is free, but watching movies is.

If you have commercial value and can make the audience spend money to go to the cinema to watch movies for you, why do you still want to act in TV series that are free to watch?

Aren't you afraid that if you act in too many TV dramas, people will get used to watching your TV works for free, and will not be willing to spend money to watch your movies in the cinema?

Don't think this is alarmist.

There are countless examples in the leading Japanese, Korean, European and American film and television circles that tell everyone that movie actors should not be exposed too much and should maintain some mystery.

The film and TV actor circles in these countries are very clearly divided. For example, almost all the first-tier and second-tier actors in Hollywood have never acted in a TV series.

Although the division is not so clear in China, actors who can act in movies steadily try not to act in TV dramas.

Therefore, Liu Xiaoli does not quite understand Wu Yuan's behavior of letting Liu Yifei act in TV dramas.

The record holder of the Chinese film box office is actually going backwards and going to film TV dramas?

How embarrassing!

"Auntie, special cases are treated specially." Wu Yuan could understand Liu Xiaoli's thoughts, and he patiently explained: "General TV series are indeed not suitable for Xixi, and they are not worthy of Xixi's current status."

"But if you can play a national-level TV series that can even be popular in Asia, it is still worth it."

"Just like "My Fair Princess", it was popular all over Asia back then."

"Meteor Garden" was also a hit in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Southeast Asia."

"How much explicit and implicit benefits have such phenomenal TV series brought to these actors?"

"To this day, audiences in Vietnam, Thailand and other places are still obsessed with Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei!"

"It can be said without hesitation that the effect may be better than movies like "Hero"."

"This time, the company has prepared a TV series for Xixi that has the potential to be popular in Asia."

"The main markets are South Korea and China, but it will definitely be popular in Southeast Asia!"

"Goblin" is a TV series with one of the most influential Asian influences among Korean dramas.

It can almost compete with "Full House", "Autumn in My Heart" and "My Love from the Star".

Only "Descendants of the Sun" can compete with them.

However, Wu Yuan of "Descendants of the Sun" is definitely not willing to shoot according to the original version. If he wants to shoot, he will definitely change it to the Chinese peacekeeping force. What's so good about the Korean peacekeeping force?

In this way, the Chinese version of "Descendants of the Sun" is not suitable for counterattacking the Korean market. After all, Koreans have extreme self-esteem and only like to watch some domestic dramas.

"Goblin" is still suitable, and it doesn't even need to be changed. It's just a goblin and a hell messenger who have hundreds of years of grievances.

In addition to this TV series, Wu Yuan also plans to let Liu Yifei shoot "Hotel Del Luna" later, especially for the Korean market.

IU became popular in Asia as an actor with this TV series. Such a good resource cannot be missed!

Korean wave?

Let's change it to Chinese wave!

Of course, if Guangying Kuaibo wants to replace Netflix in the Korean streaming market, it must also use Korean local actors and shoot some TV series with almost all Korean casts to be truly accepted by the Korean market.

TV series like "Reply" series, "Master's Sun", "W Two Worlds" and "Dark Glory" that are very Korean and almost impossible to be adapted into domestic dramas can directly find Korean production companies in Korea to cooperate and make Korean dramas to be broadcast on Guangying Kuaibo.

Wu Yuan's ambition is not big. It is enough for him to take half of the Korean TV drama market in the next ten years.

And since there is this plan, of course, he must let his girlfriend take advantage of it and let her enter the Korean and Southeast Asian markets as an actor!

The heroine of "Goblin" can be given to anyone, it is better to let his girlfriend come.

Liu Yifei is too lazy. She only shoots one movie a year. It's time to add more burdens to her.

The title of Asian goddess must be well deserved!

Wu Yuan enthusiastically introduced the specific plot and character settings of "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" to Liu Yifei and her daughter.

Not to mention, the subject matter and setting of this TV series were considered novel when it was broadcast, let alone now.

Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli were easily attracted by the story told by Wu Yuan.

The male protagonist who has lived as a goblin for 939 years and wants to end his immortal life.

The amnesiac, the king to whom the male protagonist was once loyal, was transformed into a messenger from the underworld.

The heroine who has been able to see ghosts that ordinary people cannot see since she was a child, and whose destiny is to become the bride of the goblin, remove the sword from the hero's chest, and grant him death.

The reincarnation of the hero's sister, the second female lead who was once the king's concubine.

Three "ancients" with complicated relationships thousands of years ago, full of love, hatred, and grudges, and an ordinary and kind 19-year-old female high school student, because of various wonderful encounters, a story full of romance and fantasy begins.

Although the core is still the same as that of a romantic idol drama, after being covered with a fantasy skin, the whole story has become novel and unconventional.

After listening to Wu Yuan's introduction, Liu Yifei was immediately interested.

"This story sounds so interesting."

"I want to act!"

Liu Xiaoli's expression was also a little relaxed.

This TV series really sounds like it will be popular. If it can be popular in Asia as Wu Yuan said, especially in the Korean market where Liu Yifei's influence has never been able to enter, then it is really worth acting in this drama.

"But." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and smiled as she hugged Wu Yuan's arm: "Brother, I think this male lead is very suitable for you."

"Look, he has lived for almost a thousand years. He can be said to be omnipotent, omniscient, and a walking knowledge base."

"Although he is very powerful, his personality is like a child. He quarrels with the messenger of the underworld every day."

"The most important thing is that he must be handsome!"

"He is an uncle, but you can change the script and change it to him dying at the age of 26."

"Ah?!" Wu Yuan's eyes widened. He could accept the compliment of being knowledgeable, but when did he become like a child?

Moreover, one of the major selling points of "Goblin" is the love story between the "uncle" and the "little loli" between the male and female protagonists.

The funny and romantic fantasy love between a 19-year-old female high school student and an uncle who has lived for almost a thousand years.

How can he, a young man who is only 26 years old this year and in the prime of his youth, play such a role?

The most important thing is that he is an international director, and he came to act in a TV series?

"Okay~" Liu Yifei didn't care about that, she pulled Wu Yuan's arm and pouted.

If there is anything she regrets the most, it is that she has never acted with Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan didn't know that Liu Yifei actually envied Gao Yuanyuan in private.

Why?

Because Gao Yuanyuan is the heroine in the only movie Wu Yuan has acted in his life, "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle"!

Not only did she have a love scene with Wu Yuan, Wu Yuan also kissed her cheek, which can be rounded up to a kissing scene!

What made her even more sour was the word "only", which inevitably made Liu Yifei a little jealous.

Loving someone is like this, being jealous that the other person has done the "only" thing with someone else.

So she has always been thinking that if there is a chance, she can also shoot a film and television work with Wu Yuan, TV series and movies don't matter, but they must play lovers!

Isn't this opportunity here now?

"Let's shoot together~" Liu Yifei held Wu Yuan's arm tightly, pouting and muttering: "This is my senior's first TV series. Once this news is released, it will be a hit."

"Asia, all the audiences will want to see you, an international director, act."

"I heard that because "17-year-old Bicycle" is the only movie you acted in, Asian audiences have been watching it. Even many European and American fans will come to watch your performance."

"Senior, you are also very talented in acting!"

"When I was in school, the teacher often used you as an example, saying that you are talented. The first movie you acted in won the Berlin Best Newcomer Award. You went to the directing department that year, but it would be a pity if you didn't come to the acting department."

"To this day, many professors in the acting department still regret that they didn't snatch you away when you entered the school."

Liu Yifei's good words come out without any money.

This is true.

When Wu Yuan came to the Film Academy for the art exam, the teachers of the acting department did think he was coming for the art exam, which caused some confusion. Later, when they heard that he applied for the directing department, they felt sorry for a long time.

After all, Wu Yuan is handsome, tall, and has a good image and temperament, which is really inconsistent with the style of those ugly people in the directing department.

But Wu Yuan really put his heart into directing.

He was willing to shoot "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle" because of the persuasion of senior brother Wang Xiaoshuai. He agreed to it in order to learn how to be a good director in the film era.

Now, Wu Yuan really has no reason and interest to be an actor.

He is used to being a dictatorial director who controls everything in the crew. He is not interested in being an obedient actor under the director.

He is afraid that he will be like Jiang Wen and fight with the director directly in the crew!
