Chapter 494 "Actors Please Take Your Place" Or "Acting School"?

Beijing, Guangying Building, Guangying Kuaibo's office floor.

Since the launch of "Soul Ferry", the first domestic online exclusive drama, Guangying Kuaibo has quickly become famous in China.

Immediately afterwards, the movies and TV series produced by Guangying Times were also exclusively launched on Guangying Kuaibo, and the subsequent TV series produced by the company have also been broadcast on the Internet and TV.

Guangying Kuaibo has become a very famous online video platform in China.

Although it cannot be compared with Tudou and Youku in terms of online users and user volume, it ranks third.

Until "Goblin" was broadcast, Guangying Kuaibo once again became famous with the exclusive online broadcast of this movie.

"Goblin" has become a phenomenal TV series both in South Korea and China, and is even very popular in Southeast Asia.

Because of the huge explosion of this drama, the number of users of Guangying Times has finally reached the level of being on par with Youku and Tudou, and it has become one of the three giants of domestic video playback websites.

As for Qiyi Video, which was founded by Baidu, it has just started and it is still very difficult to catch up.

However, since "Goblin", Guangying Kuaibo has not produced any phenomenal works. It has talked about the introduction and exclusive broadcast of many Korean and Japanese dramas, but piracy is rampant on the Internet and the effect is mediocre.

The TV series and movies produced by the company itself are also plagued by piracy.

In this case, it is difficult for Guangying Kuaibo to differentiate itself from Youku and Tudou and not fall into the vicious circle of simply eliminating violence and burning money to grab users.

Chen Dewei, the general manager of Guangying Kuaibo, has been thinking about how to find another way to lead Guangying Kuaibo to a higher level.

At this time, Li Xiaoping found him and told him about Wu Yuan's acting variety show plan.

"Find a group of new actors to do a talent show?"

Chen Dewei's eyes lit up instantly.

Why didn't he think of it!

Singers can do talent show variety shows, so can actors!

"Will it be broadcast exclusively on Guangying Kuaibo?" Chen Dewei asked hurriedly.

This kind of variety show is different from TV series and movies.

If it is broadcasted completely online and not on TV, Chen Dewei is confident that he can prevent others from pirating high-definition picture resources.

And variety shows are different from TV series after all. As long as the publicity is good, no one will have nothing to do and go to pirated small websites to watch them, instead of watching them on the genuine Guangying Kuaibo platform.

As long as the operation is good and this variety show can be a big hit, Guangying Times can open up a new path and make variety shows!

"Director Wu is really ingenious!" Chen Dewei said with emotion, and quickly invited Li Xiaoping and the Guangying Times team she brought to the conference room, and convened the Guangying Kuaibo management team to start a serious program preparation meeting.

"According to Director Wu's proposal, we need to find four actors or directors who are well-known and have high status in the circle to serve as mentors for the program."

"Then, through open auditions, we will select 50 new actors from three major universities and the public to become contestants."

"These contestants will go through four rounds of brutal eliminations, and finally compete with four teams of 2-3 people to compete in scene acting skills, and select the final winning team to become the champion of the program."

"That's roughly the rhythm and process, right?"

Holding the program planning proposal brought by Li Xiaoping, Chen Dewei introduced the general framework of the program in the simplest language, and first asked expectantly: "Four mentors, who are you looking for?"

"Four actors, or four directors?"

"I saw in this proposal that it mentioned that the mentors should lead The team rehearses stage plays and situational plays for its own team. In this case, is it more appropriate to find four directors? "

"Not necessarily." Li Xiaoping shook her head: "Director Wu also suggested that a mentor be added to the program to take the contestants to Hengdian for live shooting, experience the daily life of group performances, and take the audience to unveil the survival situation of the actors on the set, and reveal the industrial process of film and television production, the behind-the-scenes stories of the plays and the truth of the industry. "

"In this case, it would be better if the four mentors are actors. Directors don’t know much about the specific work difficulties and experiences of actors. "

"They never pay attention to these. At most, the casting director is responsible for this part. "

"It might be better to find four professional actors to lead these newcomers. "

"You also have to go to the set to be a group actor and experience the complete crew work?" Chen Dewei raised his eyebrows.

This variety show planning, even he finds it very interesting.

As an outsider who is not in the actor circle, he is actually very interested and curious about the work of actors.

How do actors work on the set, and what are the workplace dilemmas that are unique to the actor industry?

Compared with other professions, actors receive more attention, and are also the most mysterious and most curious.

He is curious about the management of a large company, let alone ordinary audiences.

Chen Dewei believes that if this program is really filmed, the gimmick of the daily work of this puzzle crew alone will be able to attract countless viewers to watch.

Half the game is won at the beginning.

"How about a compromise?" Thinking about it, Chen Dewei said: "How about we find two directors and two actors?"

"Okay!" Li Xiaoping nodded: "This is the best."

"For actors, I suggest Gong Li and Li Xuejian. Both are top actors in the industry, a man and a woman are just right."

"For directors, how about Chen Kaige and Zhang Guorong? They know each other, and Zhang Guorong is both an actor and a director, and he is also a member of the company. It is reasonable to choose him."

"Zhang Guorong is OK, Gong Li is also OK." Chen Dewei shook his head: "But Li Xuejian and Chen Kaige are not suitable."

"Li Xuejian's voice has been getting worse in the past two years. When he is not filming, he rests and has never been on a variety show. It will be difficult to invite him, unless Director Wu invites him personally."

"For Chen Kaige, You may not know that Chen Kaige has a strange temper. He is not suitable to be a mentor. He is too arrogant. "

"If you want to choose a mentor, Zhang Yimou is definitely more suitable than Chen Kaige."

"For actors, you can find Zhang Guoli. His "Kangxi's Secret Visits" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people across the country and has a very popular base."

"If you think his achievements are too far behind Gong Li, you can also find Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, or Liang Chaowei and Liang Jiahui from Hong Kong Island."

"Zhang Yimou?" Li Xiaoping was stunned. "He has never cooperated with our Light and Shadow Times. Can he take this variety show?"

"Let's contact him first. How can we know if we don't give it a try?" Chen Dewei said. (End of this chapter)
