Chapter 438 Not Selected

A fledgling → a little famous → a potential rising star, what next?

The next step requires a hit work to complete the promotion of reputation value: either to Da Hua Dan or Da Qing Yi...

Oh, Hua Dan and Qing Yi here refer to popular idols and powerful actors...

Then... usually you enter the film industry, win an award, or become recognized as a capable actor through a few good works, and you are considered to be on the front line!

So, everyone wants to follow Fan Jiuyi's path - she has not become a recognized powerhouse. She relies solely on fashion, advertising, and scandals to become a top-notch actress, and then slowly adds high-quality works...

This way is much easier!

Especially after the emergence of Weibo, buying a few more hot searches will increase your popularity.

In fact, every step is key!

If Yang Xiaomi hadn't caught up with "Sword and Sword III" and the subsequent "Gong Lock Heart Jade", it would have been impossible for Yang Xiaomi to become famous...

Of course, there is no "Sword and Sword III" yet...

She herself has read "Struggle". After all, it is a novel written by an idol!

She also did some homework for the role of Yang Xiaoyun. After all, her idol told her, "I can't guarantee whether the director will use you or not. His first choice is Li Xiaolu!" ’

There is no need for an idol to lie to her...

After all, the two of them said this while exchanging art!

However, I want to say that if "Struggle" doesn't work, I will arrange other dramas for her...

As for what kind of play, he didn't say...

…

Shen Xudong is not making blind promises without a plan. Fan Xiaoyu from "Snow Leopard" is planning to cast her...

Chen Yi can't do it, Chen Yi has already given it to Dong Xuan - to give face to the sponsor!

Xiao Ya is Tang Yan.

Back to the subject, Shen Xudong did not meet Zhao Baogang immediately. He first accepted an interview with Southern People Weekly to talk about the past Lunar New Year period...

The reporter who interviewed him is Wu Hongfei, the ace entertainment reporter of "Southern People Weekly". In addition, she is also the lead singer of the Happy Street Band...

He is also a master of modern and contemporary literature from Tsinghua University.

So when chatting with her, Shen Xudong is very casual.

"I personally feel that at least at this stage, domestic audiences pay more attention to plots and stories..."

"How to ensure the plot?"

“First of all, it has to be typed. If you don’t even determine the type of a movie, how can you attract audiences?

You’re just talking about blockbusters, what type of blockbusters are they? "The Promise" is said to be a magical blockbuster, but what is its core? Director Chen said that the core is "love, freedom, and destiny." To be honest, if you said this when promoting it, I guess no one would criticize the movie, but there would definitely be very few people watching it!

Because everyone enters the cinema with the expectation of watching a commercial blockbuster, and it’s so neat and messy, who wouldn’t be angry? "

"But many experts say that "The Promise" has a very cinematic quality..."

"The term cinematic feel... is quite redundant! Should commercial films pursue a cinematic feel?

Of course you should. When you take a picture of something, you should be particular about what focal length and angle you use. You feel comfortable watching American movies because these technologies are used accurately. When more than 60% of your movies are used incorrectly, the audience will naturally feel uncomfortable, although he can't explain why...

But at this stage, the main thing is to build up the audience's confidence in domestic films, rather than to attract the audience into the theater with one blockbuster movie after another, and then come out with curses... In this way, it is easy for the audience to lose confidence in domestic films! "

"Professor Huang Shixian of BJ Film School said, 'Many movies are not the true expression of the director's feelings, but are deliberately made. He believes that young directors should be allowed to make artistic films first rather than commercial films. What do you think of this point of view?"

"Why?"

"Most young directors simply can't find the funds to make movies. Does it make sense to make literary and commercial films?"

"So far, the genres you have created include martial arts, action, horror thrillers and comedy, each with a different theme. How would you comment on your style?"

"Why do I think so much? Why do I think about them? How tiring it is. This is what critics do..."

"I heard that the cost of your new work "Life Events" is still less than 20 million? Are you not interested in blockbusters?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "No, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" cost 150 million... In fact, it doesn't mean giving you a lot of money, but giving you big stars and the best publicity campaign, you can make a good film. Master all cinema lines and master the mainstream The right to speak still produces garbage, it’s not like we don’t have such precedent!”

"...Is there anything in this circle that makes you uncomfortable?"

"Definitely. In the past, I often encountered integrity problems. I couldn't get paid for my work, or I met people who were only interested in profit. There were so many... But now I am surrounded by good people and they speak nicely... It makes me quite scared! "

"Afraid?"

"The entertainment industry is a vanity fair. What is a vanity fair? It combines greed for vanity, adapting to the wind, worshiping the superior and scorning the inferior, and other nasty aspects of human nature. And the more people are at the center of the stage, the more vulgar they are! I'm really worried that I have One day he will become a very greasy vulgar person!"

"Greasy?"

"... Wearing the newly bought big Versace glasses, shaking the red wine glass in the center of the crowd, pointing out the world, surrounded by a group of people holding you... I feel very sick when I think about it, what kind of artist is this, this is not a pure nouveau riche! "

After chatting for half an hour, Shen Xudong raised his wrist and checked the time: "I have to go to the set of "Struggle" right away..."

""Struggle", has it been adapted into a TV series?"

"That's right... there is still one role that has not been decided yet!"

"You're at this level, and you're still doing TV dramas?"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "No matter from which perspective, I will never give up TV series..."

"Because you make more money?"

"You can make a lot of money and the risks are relatively small. In addition, you can maintain relationships with TV stations by doing TV series..."

"You need this relationship?"

"What do you think?"

…

Ending the interview…

Shen Xudong immediately drove to Xinbaoyuan, arrived at Zhao Baogang's office, and saw Zhao Baogang chatting animatedly with Yang Xiaomi...

"Have you chosen it?"

Yang Xiaomi pursed her lips towards Zhao Baogang: "Ask you..."

Zhao Baogang looked pityful: "Xiao Mi is too young, otherwise, I would definitely use her!"

"It's okay... After "Struggle" is broadcast, we can continue to create according to this series model..."

"how to say?"

"Create three to four pairs of characters and let them have a relationship with each other, enough to sustain more than 30 episodes, such as three sisters..."

"Planned Parenthood, where did the three sisters come from?"

"Cousins..." Shen Xudong chuckled: "The theme is all about realizing ideals, and revolves around the contradiction between two generations and the gap between ideals and reality..."

Zhao Baogang's eyes lit up: "Your new book?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I can't surpass "Struggle" for the time being... You can ask Teacher Gao Xuan and Teacher Ren Baoru to write it..."

Gao Xuan and Ren Baoru are also Zhao Baogang's golden partners. They have collaborated in "Farewell, Vancouver", "Who Calls the Shots of My Youth" and "Defense of Marriage"...

In addition, there is a movie script: "The Orphan of Zhao"...

Oh, what Shen Xudong is talking about is "Who's in Charge of My Youth". This drama... He doesn't have much memory, he only knows that it is also a popular drama, and there is a character in it who is very popular...
