The bard joins the entertainment industry - Chapter 469 Behind the scenes

Chen Shuo turned to look at Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin and asked, “Which role will Fourth Brother and Jin Brother decide to try?”

Yang Junyi first glanced at Zhang Jin and said, “Lei Bin, this role is relatively simple.”

Chen Shuo understood what he meant. Simple doesn’t mean it’s not brilliant, it’s just that the character of Lei Bin is more compatible with him.

The most important criterion for a director to select actors is based on the compatibility between the actor and the character.

Young people should play young people’s roles, and older people should play middle-aged and elderly roles. If they are forced to play roles across age groups, it will definitely have a strong sense of violation.

Similarly, matching the character’s personality with the actor’s personality will also be of great help in shaping the character.

Whether it’s acting as an actor or directing a play, it will be much easier.

Zhang Jin raised his head and asked Chen Shuo: “You just said that you prepared the colorful opera artist for yourself before, but what about now?”

Chen Shuo hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, “No, if Brother Jin is willing, you can try this role.”

“Then I’ll give it a try.” Zhang Jin nodded.

Relatively speaking, TV drama actors are paid higher than movie actors.

Take Chen Shuo for example. With his current fame, his film salary will not exceed 2 million at most.

But a TV series can easily earn two million, or even more.

However, starring in movies can enhance your status and fame.

The value attached to these things cannot be bought by millions.

Chen Shuo has the support of two albums and is not short of money, so he rarely attends commercial performances.

Apart from endorsements from Xizhilang and Porsche, there is nothing else.

But Yu Bo is different. Under the operation of Shan Xiaolou, he has eight endorsements. Although the price of each endorsement is not high, the sum of the eight endorsements is more than the total price of Chen Shuo’s two endorsements.

Moreover, besides filming, he also participates in commercial performances. The price of a single performance ranges from 20,000 to 50,000, and occasionally exceeds 100,000.

Now he has accumulated a net worth of less than 10 million yuan.

Of course, he spent most of the money on buying a courtyard house.

The main reason why he was able to save so much money was because of his participation in “House of Flying Daggers” and “Seven Swords”.

Zhang Jin wanted to make money and bought a house in Xiangjiang with Cai Shaofen. Last year’s salary and commercial performances were only over one million.

Without much fame, it is basically difficult to raise the price of a commercial performance, even if you want to visit more.

Because not many people are willing to invite him.

Compared with Yu Bo, there is simply a world of difference, let alone compared with Chen Shuo.

This is one of the reasons why Yang Rong wants to get the role of Ye Chanqing.

After all, if she really plays this role, her fame will definitely increase greatly, and the benefits will be much greater than before.

The most important thing is that it saves too much hard work and accumulation.

Zhang Jin is also eager to improve himself, but he also knows that this matter cannot be rushed.

Seeing that everyone already had a goal, Shan Xiaolou clapped his hands and said, “Okay, now that everyone has made a decision, let’s put this matter aside for now and prepare carefully when we go back.

Next, let’s talk about some characters in TV series. “

After hearing this, everyone perked up and focused their attention on her.

Shan Xiaolou did not waste any time and said: “Due to the preparation of movies next, our company does not occupy much of the investment in “The Legend of the Banner” and “Eight Heroes”.

Needless to say some minor roles, let’s just talk about a few more important ones now.

In “The Legend of the Flag Hero”, we can participate in the audition for the second male lead Yun Zheng and the second female lead Wen Daidai, and we need to obtain the approval of the crew.

If the attempt is unsuccessful, you can get the roles of third male and third female.

There are many characters in “Eight Heroes”, and they are also quite confusing. Fortunately, each one has its own characteristics.

Among them, two characters, Bian Suwen and Feng Yiyi, belong to us.

Which of these four roles are you willing to try?

Both dramas will start shooting in early March. Due to director Wang Jing, “Eight Heroes” may be completed quickly, no later than May.

On the contrary, “The Legend of the Banner” requires four or even five months due to the relatively large investment scale. “

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Bo, Yang Junyi, Shu Chang and Yang Guang said: “We decided to concentrate on preparing for the roles and will not participate in these two dramas.”

Among them, Yu Bo was determined to shift his focus to movies, while Yang Junyi and the others attached great importance to the movie and decided to focus on it without distracting themselves.

Once the four people give up, only Zhang Jin, Yang Rong and Liu Yang are left.

Zhang Jin took the lead and said: “I choose the role of Feng Yi.”

His plan is that the character of Feng Ji is not the protagonist, and there will not be many scenes. At most, it will be the same as last year’s Guihai Yida, and it can be filmed in more than a month.

As for the role of the actor, the action aspect is not too difficult for him, as long as he can figure out the role during filming.

Yang Rong said: “I want to try the role of Wen Daidai.”

Shan Xiaolou turned to Liu Yang and asked, “What about you?”

Liu Yang said: “Then I will choose Bian Suwen.”

Shan Xiaolou nodded and said to Yang Rong: “Then your role can be decided.”

“Thank you, Sister Xiaolou.” Yang Rong nodded gratefully.

This means that Shan Xiaolou gave up the two number three roles that she was sure to get, and replaced her with the second female lead who originally needed to audition.

“You don’t have to be so polite.” Shan Xiaolou looked at everyone and said, “Don’t worry, our company will not recruit too many actors, you are our main training target.

Our company’s resources are sufficient to train you. “

Seeing everyone nodding in conviction, she added: “Next, everyone will prepare their own roles.

As for the three works produced by our company, “Wine to the Blue Sky”, “Seven Fairies of Joy”, and “Eight Formations of Gods and Ghosts”, we will discuss them after the “Sword Rain Jianghu” project is implemented. “

No one has any objection to this decision. After all, if there is a discussion now, there must be a choice.

Whether to focus on movies or TV series, you will inevitably choose the wrong path if you hesitate.

After the movie roles are finalized, different projects can be started according to the situation, which will also help with the allocation of resources.

After the meeting, Chen Shuo, Yang Junyi, Yu Bo and others had another meal together and chatted, before going back with Shu Chang in the evening.

On the way, Chen Shuo and Shu Chang sat in the car, and the driver drove home.

Shu Chang lay lazily on the half-reclined backrest and asked with a blurred look: “You haven’t said which role you plan to play all day today?”

She drank some wine, but fortunately, with Chen Shuo watching and several others paying attention, she didn’t get drunk.

Chen Shuo stretched out, followed her example and lay down, and said, “I thought about it, and I don’t plan to participate in the show.”

Shu Chang turned around and asked in surprise: “Why? You basically wrote this script? And your current fame also has a certain bonus to the movie, right?”

“I may have to be a behind-the-scenes team member.”

Feeling the warm flow of wine and body fragrance as she blew it into his ears, Chen Shuo squinted his eyes and thought about the investment component of this drama.

Zhou Yi invested 10 million, and as the main production company, it accounted for 30% of the share.

Then came Star Picture, with five million and Zhang Yimou joining, also accounting for 30% of the share.

The remaining companies such as China Film, Uni Asia, and Andy Lau jointly invested 15 million, accounting for the remaining 40%.

The reason why Star Picture invested so little but still held so much was to appease Zhang Weiping’s dissatisfaction and gain his support.

He regards Zhang Yimou as his forbidden love. Although Zhang Yimou does not think so, he trusts Zhang Weiping very much.

Now, Chen Shuo and Zhou Yi touched his “treasure” and wanted to calm down, so they naturally had to give him corresponding benefits.

For this point, both Chen Shuo, Zhou Ping and Jiang Xuerou felt it was worth it.

However, although Zhang Weiping got the benefits and made peace with Chen Jingfei, and seemingly put aside his grudge, he still harbored some resentment towards Chen Shuo.

When we were discussing the role before, we wanted him to give up the stage and become a behind-the-scenes person on the grounds that Chen Shuo was the screenwriter of the play and there was no suitable role for him.

He wanted to use this to suppress Chen Shuo’s reputation.

Zhang Weiping has a strong ability to achieve things. He can help Zhang Yimou solve his worries other than production, and he can also force the theater chain to compromise on the share, which shows that he has strong business ability and acumen.

And similarly, his ability to expose things is not bad.

If Chen Shuo really doesn’t want to do what he wants, then the least he can do is make the crew pornographic.

It is not impossible to even use one’s own means to kick Chen Shuo and Zhou Yi away.

Of course, as a result, there will also be cracks in the relationship between him and Zhang Yimou.

After Chen Shuo thought about this, he decided to follow his expectations.

This is his first leading work, not participating as an actor.

He turned his head and looked close at hand, with a look of astonishment and relief on his face, and said with a smile: “I need to concentrate on finishing “The Condor” now.

After the filming of “The Condor” is completed, I will participate in the production of “Jian Yu Jiang Hu” as a screenwriter and action director. “

Shu Chang said with an astonished look on his face: “Are you planning to train with Director Zhang and then develop into a director?”

Chen Shuo nodded and said with a smile: “We still have to act.

But when making this drama, I first focused on learning how to be a good director.

When I develop my skills, I will take photos, direct and act, and I will do all the work of the entire crew by myself. “

“Then when you become an all-around great director, I…” Shu Chang paused and said with an unchanging smile: “I will follow you as a screenwriter, you and Sissi as the leading actors, and the three of us will make a movie together. , then it became a box office hit and won various awards.”

Chen Shuo stared at her slightly fluctuating eyes for a while, raised the corners of his mouth, showed a big smile, and said, “Okay!”
