Chapter 189: Different Treatment for Men and Women at the Start-Up Scene (Asking for Monthly Tickets)

In the entertainment industry, opportunities depend on the support of nobles, the support of sponsors, the luck of stars, and the efforts of actors.

For example, in the drama "Power and Stratagem", the leading actor Hou Jian was supported by nobles, while Xia Yi and Niu Xiang were supported by sponsors. Some of the other actors were lucky, while others relied on their own efforts.

This circle is cruel, but to put it another way, which circle is not cruel?

It is not only the entertainment industry that relies on good fathers and godfathers?

Many artists have neither nobles nor sponsors, and do not want to recognize their fathers, so they can only rely on their own efforts.

But whether the opportunities they have fought for can be successful, then it really depends on luck.

Lin Xing has a good star luck. Whether it is "Sweeping Black Waves" or "Picture Hunting Murderer", as well as the recently concluded "Bad Kids", these basically make Lin Xing gain a good reputation.

Especially "Sweeping Black Waves" also made Lin Xing win the Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actor.

But there is another saying in the entertainment industry, that is, a person's luck will always run out. You are lucky now, but it does not mean that you will always be lucky.

Just like An Yifeng, the TV series she played before had a high ratings and reputation, but since she switched to the film industry, it has been a flop.

This is because An Yifeng has a lot of blood. Although she has not recovered in the past ten years, she has not fallen to the eighteenth line with her appearance.

It is really a gift from God.

But after so many years, there is only one person like An Yifeng in the entertainment industry.

Wei Fei has good intentions. She thinks that Lin Xing has finally become popular again. At this time, she should make more choices while she still has choices.

Don't think that you will get better and better in the acting industry.

Take An Yifeng for example. She became famous when she was young, and then three TV series made her win the three major TV drama awards. At that time, it was thought that An Yifeng's peak had just begun.

The result?

You saw it.

In the film industry, the blood that fluttered was almost gone.

As a person who has experienced it, Wei Fei is also like this.

Before, if she didn't go to the set when filming, the director would not start filming at all.

But what about now? ?

Now when Wei Fei arrives at the scene, he always says: "Teacher Wei, please wait a moment."

This circle is like this. Many times you don't know what happened and you are out of fashion.

This time, the real protagonists of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" are Liang Yi and Ling Mei. Others are either special appearances, friendly appearances, special guest appearances, etc.

To put it bluntly, they are just accompanying the prince and princess to read.

Tomorrow, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" will officially start filming. Tonight, Wei Fei, Ren Shuai, and Lin Xing will have a drink together.

This is a leisurely time before the start of filming.

After all, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has been in [script reading] these days, and basically all directors have their own style.

You are like Zu Ming. When he was filming "Sweeping Black Waves", what he liked most was to do the "script reading" together, because in Zu Ming's opinion, he would rather spend more time, because only when the actors understand the role thoroughly can they get twice the result with half the effort during filming.

But the "script reading" of "The Portrait of the Murderer" was different. This is because Liu Zhou likes to create while filming, and he doesn't want everything to be completed in the "script reading".

Then "Bad Kids" is even more so. Lan Lei is a new director, and he hopes to shoot in advance.

Next is "For Whom the Bell Tolls". Dong Deng's style is actually similar to Zu Ming, but there are some differences.

Zu Ming hopes that the actors will understand the role thoroughly, and at the same time, he hopes that the actors will not only understand their own roles, but more accurately, let the actors enter the role in advance, and even start talking about the role in the "script reading".

Dong Deng is not like this. In the "script reading", he lets the actors understand the role more, and at the same time, Dong Deng discusses the shooting role with the assistant director, cameraman, and lighting on the scene.

In short, Dong Deng also has extreme control over the crew. Not to mention the official filming, even during the [script reading], he is quite strict when talking about the play.

And the filming will start tomorrow, and Dong Deng gave all the actors a half-day holiday in the afternoon today.

His meaning is very simple.

He doesn't care how the actors are in other crews, but in the crew of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", if there are any actors who are unprofessional, arrogant, or fail to perform well, then don't blame me, the old Dong, for not giving face.

Yes.

These words are actually mainly said to a few people.

However, Dong Deng does have the confidence to do so. If it were any other new director who said this, he would probably have been rebuked by some people on the scene.

Since Dong Deng is on vacation, Wei Fei, Ren Shuai, and Lin Xing will have a small gathering.

As for the others, they are obviously not familiar with each other, so don't call them to avoid embarrassment.

As I said, the crew is a world of its own, and everyone has their own small groups. Most of them are not very familiar with each other during the [script reading], so basically they will not be too enthusiastic.

Because sometimes if you are too enthusiastic, people will think you are asking for something.

Take the current crew of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" for example, Liang Yi is the most popular actor in Huahai Film and Television. Although his acting skills are not very good, he is a person who is better at balancing reputation and traffic.

Then there is Ling Mei, who is supported by the sponsor.

In addition to these two, Lin Xing, Ren Shuai and Wei Fei are all acquaintances.

And whether it is the veteran actor Wu Qifeng, the new generation Wang Lu, or even other actors, etc., everyone maintains an adult social model.

A fake smile, a little enthusiastic but not much.

This filming is just work.

To put it bluntly, how many of your colleagues do you have a good relationship with? ?

The same goes for the crew.

Otherwise, why do people often say that the crew is not sincere?

Comparatively speaking, Lin Xing is quite lucky. Whether it is the variety show "Farming" or his performances in the three dramas "Sweeping Out", "Bad Boys" and "Portrait of a Murderer", he has It counts as making a few friends.

Of course, no one can say how far these friends will go in the future.

But at least for now it's still good.

Just like Wei Fei, she has always regarded Lin Xing as her younger brother.

No, Wei Fei still advised Lin Xing that whether a drama is popular or not really depends on metaphysics, because whether a drama is popular or not often depends on too many comprehensive considerations.

Even the actors can't decide anything.

So, don’t be fooled by some nonsense on the Internet.

An actor should not care about the cast, an actor should choose a good script, an actor should choose a good script, etc.

Wei Fei thinks none of these are important.

"Axing, I have been in this industry for so many years. Sometimes you accept a good script but it doesn't mean that the drama will be exactly the same as the script..."

Wei Fei persuaded Lin Xing: "Do those who make bad movies think it is a bad movie before they start shooting? Of course not. When they start shooting, they all think that the work they are making is a phenomenal work..."

Ren Shuai smiled bitterly: "Sister Fei, you can use me as an example. Ah Xing, all the dramas I filmed before were flopped, including the male lead, so I chose "For Whom the Bell Tolls" "This TV series."

"Ren Shuai, you are a negative example. I just want Ah Xing to choose the second male lead instead of the second male lead..."

Wei Fei said again: "Because if you don't choose the male first while you can still choose the male first, then when you want to choose the male first, I'm afraid you won't have the qualifications."

This is Wei Fei's words from someone who has experienced it, or a lesson learned from experience.

Wei Fei was brainwashed by some trends in the industry at the beginning, so she had almost no chance of being the leading female role later.

There are many people like Wei Fei in this circle.

Ren Shuai did not agree with what Wei Fei said: "Axing, I think you made the right choice. Look, I gave up the male lead to choose our drama."

With that said, Ren Shuai said to Wei Fei: "Sister Fei, I know you have experienced this, but you seem to have forgotten something."

Wei Fei was stunned: "What???"

Ren Shuai said: "Male artists and female artists are different. The golden age of male artists is never too late, even starting from the age of 45. If you look at the actors in the industry, they filmed when they were in their 30s. They are not all that good, but they have honed their acting skills, and their reputation is not bad, so as long as they have a few good dramas, they can become popular..."

Wei Fei: "???"

Heartbroken.

Only then did Wei Fei realize that Ren Shuai was indeed right.

Why does Ren Shuai dare to give up the male lead? ?

That's because Ren Shuai's current reputation is not very good, and he needs a work to save his reputation, even if he is the third male actor, he doesn't care.

But female artists are different.

When a female artist gets older, it will be difficult for her to play the leading female role.

After all, not everyone is like An Yifeng, who is only 30 years old after working in the film industry for more than ten years.

"drink wine."

Wei Fei simply stopped trying to persuade Lin Xing. She thought she should just drink.

The next day, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was ready to start filming at the Shanghai Film and Television Base.

The start-up ceremony has almost been arranged.

This is not like the two web dramas "Bad Kid" and "Portrait of a Murderer". Although the media paid attention to it at that time, it was far from the focus.

After all, at that time, except for Lin Xing, there was basically no talent left.

But today is different. Today, not only the actors, but also the directors and screenwriters are enough to attract the media.

The entire cast of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was here, and Lin Xing also met An Yifeng. Not to mention that An Yifeng is really suitable for the role of Lin Diewu.

According to the setting in the play, Lin Diewu was a poor person. She finally met a sweetheart, but that sweetheart was killed by bandits.

Then she took revenge and killed the bandits, but she was also caught. When she was executed, she was saved by Liu Haotian, the military commander, and then she became Chen Xueli's life and death partner.

This character needs to be beautiful, because Lin Diewu’s setting is to have a confusing face. This face is also Lin Diewu’s murder weapon.

When Liu Haotian saved Lin Diewu, it was not Liu Haotian's so-called justice. On the contrary, he also saved Lin Diewu because of her face.

Secondly, An Yifeng has a background in martial arts. Lin Diewu has been training in the military for a period of time. An Yifeng should be suitable for such a role.

In addition to An Yifeng, Lin Xing also met Wang Lu.

That's right.

During the [Script Reading], although Na Lingmei was a resource person, she still came to participate in the [Script Reading], but neither An Yifeng nor Wang Lu participated in the [Script Reading].

Both of them arrived just in time to start the phone.

Wang Lu is four years older than An Yifeng, but Wang Lu is far from being as popular or famous as An Yifeng.

Over the years, Wang Lu could only play some small roles.

This time, she was able to participate in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" because she is an artist of Huahai Film and Television. More importantly, the role of Wu Jingyi was originally given to Bai Dan of Huahai Film and Television.

But Bai Dan refused.

Because Bai Dan felt that Wu Jingyi was a negative role. After all, this role was a traitor, and there were several murder scenes in the play. In this way, Huahai Film and Television simply let Wang Lu participate.

At this time, Wang Lu was still filming another play, so she could only join the crew after finishing that one.

Fortunately, she arrived at the start of filming.

At the scene, many people were chatting with An Yifeng before the start of filming.

Liang Yi had worked with An Yifeng before, Ren Shuai had also worked with An Yifeng, and Wei Fei had played An Yifeng's sister before.

Then, Wu Qifeng had played An Yifeng's father before.

Take a look.

This is the entertainment industry. Although An Yifeng is not very old, she is already an old actor, and she has been in this circle for so many years, so naturally she is familiar with many people.

In comparison, Wang Lu seems to be relatively unpopular.

That's right.

Who would pay attention to a not-so-important little unknown actor?

"Everyone get ready, and then we will start filming and worship the gods..."

At this time, some people in the crew had already started preparing.

After this set of procedures, Dong Deng shouted loudly: "Now I announce that "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has started filming."

There was a burst of applause at the scene.

The publicity department has also started taking pictures, and today's start must be publicized.

In addition, the actors of the crew will also attend a media meeting next.

"Teacher Lin, you will also attend later."

At this time, the assistant director said to Lin Xing.

Lin Xing nodded gently: "Okay."

So, 10 minutes later, Lin Xing and others attended the launch conference together.

Lin Xing, Liang Yi, An Yifeng, Wang Lu, Ren Shuai, Ling Mei, a total of 6 people.

It is obvious that this is a special arrangement by the crew.

Three men and three women.

Wei Fei did not attend.

It is obvious that Wei Fei is not a hot topic in the eyes of the crew.

And except for Wang Lu, the other 5 people of these 6 people are still quite hot topics.

What's more, these 6 people have rival scenes with each other.

What the crew wants is publicity, and what the media wants is topics.
