Zhou Fangyuan now chooses the baby, mainly because the baby has several advantages.
First of all, it is very important that he is cheap, because he is not famous, so the salary is very cheap, and at the same time, it is very simple to sign him, so to speak, if you change to another star who is already famous, it may be easy to find him to star in the movie, but if you want to sign the star, the difficulty will increase a lot. After all, famous celebrities basically already have their own signing companies. In a few years, after the celebrity's personal studio becomes the mainstream, the stars will set up their own studios and companies one after another, and it will be more difficult at that time.
The baby is still a trick actor now, and he is already thankful that he can play the leading role, and if he can appear in a movie from Far Media, it will definitely be a great thing for him. Not only that, if Zhou Fangyuan throws an olive branch at this time, the baby will not refuse 100%, and he can't help but refuse, but will write his name very happily, because this can be regarded as a step to the sky for a dragon actor.
Of course, he knows how powerful the baby is in the future, how strong the ability to absorb gold is, so at this time, if he can sign the baby, he can also make a steady profit, in the end, he Zhou Fangyuan is still a businessman, although he has some ideals and ambitions, but the amount of money should still have to make money, obviously has the advantage of a prophet, wouldn't it be too much of a loss if you don't make good use of it? As for whether this is a good thing for the baby, Zhou Fangyuan feels that it should be a good thing, in any case, because of his existence, Yuanfang Media can give the baby a good treatment, and can also give the baby more opportunities, so that he can become famous and grow faster, and the baby will not refuse if he wants to.
That's the first point.
The second point is the baby's own personal attributes.
Celebrities have many attributes, some people are handsome, some people are funny, some people have noble temperament, and some people have funny temperament. Such attributes sometimes become the personal label of the star, and once the label is fixed, it is both a good thing and a bad thing for the star. The good thing is that the audience recognizes you, and the bad thing is that the label restricts the actor's acting path, for example, Lu Yi, his acting skills are definitely not bad, but because he was too handsome when he was young, he was inevitably labeled as a "cream boy". Although the cream attribute is not as good as those small fresh meat in later generations, it is also one of the best in terms of today.
This label has made him loved by many young women, and some aunt-level women also like him, but because of this label, he is always regarded as a representative of no acting skills. People think he is too handsome, and people who are too handsome have no acting skills, which can be regarded as a stereotype, although not everyone thinks so, but as long as some people think so, this still has a great impact on the actors. So much so that he later starred in a lot of more serious dramas, but as a result, his acting skills were always criticized.
In fact, Lu Yi's acting skills are already quite good, how to say that he is also a college student, one of the representatives of the play, but what can be done? Just because he is good-looking, many people default to his bad acting skills, which is really innocent.
And the baby's attribute is simplicity. He's not handsome, but he's not ugly, and his acting skills aren't good, but they're not bad, after all, these years of experience are still very effective, and babies also know how to learn by themselves. And the simple attribute has a great benefit, that is, down-to-earth, when most celebrities are lofty and mysterious compared to ordinary people, a down-to-earth anti-routine star like Baby is particularly cherished, if his acting skills are passable, and his character can also be, it is easy to be recognized by the largest number of audiences.
This is what the baby did in his previous life, his simple attribute has a unique advantage when attracting the audience, and because of this attribute, he can be said to have no star baggage at all. Other celebrities go out, all kinds of dresses up, for fear of losing face, because their characters are perfectly handsome or beautiful and beautiful, if they can't do this, they will lose a lot of fans.
But the baby doesn't have this problem, of course, he should also clean himself up as handsome as possible, but at the same time, even if he really doesn't clean himself up, fans won't care. After all, his character is like this, his attributes determine that he can be a little sloppy and rough, fans like him, they just like his down-to-earthness, the more he is like this, the more he can resonate with fans.
These are all advantages that other stars do not have.
And the last point, the main thing is his acting skills. The baby is actually a very smart person, this is definitely not a deliberate compliment or cruel words, the baby was born in Shaolin Temple, is a martial arts background, that is to say, his cultural classes have not been well educated. Of course, this is not what I am talking about here, after the baby came out of the Shaolin Temple, he came to the capital and began to mix in the entertainment industry, but he can only start from the dragon set, make a corpse, do a human background, mix for several years, and may not be able to mix a line, he does not have any professional experience, maybe he has quietly attended relevant training classes - this is for sure, acting is also an art, no one can be born to know, and the baby can't do it.
So although he has never failed to succeed, he must have attended training courses over the years, but even so, the training courses cannot be compared with regular colleges. And since he is doing tricks, he naturally doesn't have the money to go to those really big-level training classes, at most he goes to some cheap and little-known small classes to receive some basic training. This is such an experience, look at his later acting skills, what is the level? Compared with those old drama bones, there is naturally a big gap, but compared with some students from regular colleges? It's like a very famous frost girl in later generations, it's not that Zhou Fangyuan belittles her, but her acting skills are really not good to be honest. Although this may also have something to do with the plays she receives, after all, those idol dramas really don't have high requirements for acting skills, as long as you are handsome or beautiful enough, maybe her acting skills can't be fully shown.
But as far as the part that shows, to be honest, she can't surpass the baby at all, at most it is a flat stage, and even the baby has to press her.
One is a professional college student, and the other is a trick actor who climbed up little by little from the end of the world, the status of the two sides can be said to be very different, but the acting skills are actually comparable, just from this point, it is not difficult to see how the baby's acting skills are.
In addition, it can also be seen from the awards he has won, for example, in 03, he won the Best New Actor Award at the 40th Treasure Island Film Golden Horse Awards for "Blind Well", in 08, he won the Most Popular Actor Award at the 24th Huaxia TV Golden Eagle Awards for the role of Xu Sanduo in "Soldier Assault" and the audience's favorite TV series actor Award; in 11 years, he won the Best New Actor Award in Russia, New York, USA, and the comedy "Mr. Hello! The Best Actor Award at the Italian Film Festival and the Asia-Pacific Film Award, etc., these achievements are enough to show his success.
There are many stars who have grown to this point from the dragon set, but Zhou Fangyuan still likes babies the most, so whether it is from the future potential, or from the character design, or from the acting skills, he hopes to bring the baby into the crew and bring it into his own company together.
Because of this, he is willing to make such a big effort to contact Director Li, for now, perhaps Director Li is the most likely person to know the baby's contact information.
In the hotel, the two who had eaten about the same finally talked about the baby.
"Mr. Zhou, I want to know, why do you want to get the baby's information from me, and how do you know that I know the baby?"
"Well, in fact, I also knew about it through other channels, the baby has not been famous before, I happen to know some things about him, I think this person is very good, it just so happens that my movie now needs such a role as a migrant worker, I think the baby is good, so I want him to join my crew. But I also asked people to go to him, but there are too few people who know his news, and even fewer people know his specific contact information, Director Li, you also know that it has been half a year since I saw it, and the crew really can't delay it any longer, so I took the liberty to find you, hoping to get the baby's contact information from you. ”
Zhou Fangyuan didn't hide it, he directly said his thoughts and demands, and he didn't even deliberately hide his eagerness.
If the other party really doesn't know, wouldn't it be more troublesome if he didn't take out the contact information at once? As for whether the other party would deliberately stumble or make some demands after confirming his eager mood, Zhou Fangyuan never thought about this problem, not because he believed in Director Li's character, but because he believed in the strength of Yuanfang Media. He also believes that Director Li is not the kind of fool who is willing to offend Zhou Fangyuan for the sake of this small profit in front of him, after all, fools can see that the future of Yuanfang Media will usher in greater glory, and being convenient with others is convenient for himself, Director Li will not be stupid enough to use this kind of thing to pinch Zhou Fangyuan.
Otherwise, the opportunity will be right in the future, Zhou Fangyuan will make a small stumbling block for him, a director and a group are against each other, as long as people with a little brain know that this kind of thing can't be done.
Of course, if Director Li really did this, Zhou Fangyuan would agree to the other party's conditions, but in the future, then he could only do it, anyway, Zhou Fangyuan is definitely not a good man and a woman, the time is right, not to mention directly pit the other party to death, but if the pit is half dead or something, he will definitely do this kind of thing.
Fortunately, Director Li is indeed a smart person, or rather, he is a sensible person, too, after all, he has been born in society for so many years, and he has his own insistence in art, so his movies have always been popular and not sold at the box office, but this does not mean that he is a fool. didn't follow the crowd, it can only be said that he has a dream, not that he doesn't know how to make movies that can sell more at the box office, he just doesn't want to make them.
In addition to the movie, in other aspects, Director Li must be a smart enough person.
He heard the meaning of Zhou Fangyuan's words, and he could also feel Zhou Fangyuan's eagerness.
"But Mr. Zhou, I want to tell you the truth, my movie is also ready to let the baby star, and now it has basically been decided, to be honest, you are like this...... It's not very easy to operate, I can't let the baby run between places, I'm afraid that the two movies won't be pleasing at that time. ”
This is the truth, "Blind Well" was released in February next year in the original time and space, so now in this time period, almost preparations for filming have begun, no matter how bad it is, the preparation of the movie must have begun, Director Li is also the truth, not deliberately trying to pinch Zhou Fangyuan.
Of course, Zhou Fangyuan also considered this issue.
"Director Li, do you see if this thing can be done? Let the baby enter my crew, this movie, there is no big scene, we can focus on the baby's part to shoot first, and we will find our own way to follow up the content, and Director Li, you can also make similar arrangements, and you can also leave a certain amount of time for the baby to rest and change his mood in the middle. ”
There's no way around it.
After all, who made Zhou Fangyuan not think of this before? Now that he suddenly remembered, he immediately wanted to pull people away, not to mention snatching teeth from the tiger's mouth, after all, Director Li could not be regarded as a tiger, but it was always inappropriate to snatch people from others, so Zhou Fangyuan could only think of such a way.
"In addition, Director Li, I owe you a favor for this time, if there is anything you need help in the future, just say it, as long as I can do it, there will definitely be no second words. ”
Zhou Fangyuan promised to benefit again.
This may be the most important thing, what directors need is investment, making movies always costs money, and now the cost of making movies is getting higher and higher, Director Li's problem has always been the problem of the box office, if the box office is not good, investors will not recognize him, after all, investors want to see money, and fools will invest in his movies if they can't see money. And Yuanfang Media is now a rich representative, Yuanfang Group is working on its own cinema line, and at the same time, the relationship with Sanye looks good, Zhou Fangyuan's current promise, to be honest, is actually very valuable.
Director Li looked at Zhou Fangyuan, thought about it, and finally nodded.
"Haha, Mr. Zhou, it's a bit too much for you to say that, since everyone is friends, it is appropriate to help each other. ”
"yes, we're all friends. ”
Zhou Fangyuan smiled and nodded.
"Actually, Mr. Zhou, if you say this, my movie can be pushed back, anyway, I don't have a requirement that it must be released as soon as possible, it's better to stick to your movie first, and when your movie is finished, let the baby come to me." By the way, Mr. Zhou, do you still need people from your distant media? Since you are so optimistic about the baby, why don't you let him sign in to your company?"
Therefore, this person is really good at being a man, not only to meet the needs of Zhou Fangyuan, but also to take the initiative to make concessions, but also to provide Zhou Fangyuan with a message, that is, the baby does not have any contract now, if there is his active recommendation, it is not easy to sign the baby?
"Then dare to be kind, please leave this matter to Director Li. ”
"Don't worry, I'll call the baby over now. ”
Director Li smiled and nodded, took out the phone and began to dial the baby's number.
