Chapter 39: Your Role
"This year's college entrance examination target Hong Kong Chinese University, mathematics suddenly dropped the score and fell off the list," I said calmly, "Studying in college is a platform for myself to show, I have liked performing arts since I was a child, there is just such an opportunity, I want to try to enter this circle, the company provides this training platform, I think it is an opportunity for me." ”
"This person seems to be a vanity fair in the entertainment industry, a big dye vat," A
Gela looked at me casually, "Everyone has a chromosomal view of the entertainment industry, and they may lose a lot in this circle, and they may gain a lot, such as glory, wealth, freedom, and privacy." ”
I nodded quietly: "Fame and fortune are a double-edged sword, in today's materialistic world, keep your original intention." ”
A
Gela drank coffee elegantly, like a lazy kitten, "Today's entertainment pattern is not like the entertainment pattern of the past, there is too much capital, too many newcomers have integrated into this market, the so-called top traffic of small fresh meat, in the past there was no shortage of more products in this market." Since the beginning of this year, many high-production film products made with small fresh meat have suffered Waterloo, in your personal opinion, it seems that it is a problem of small fresh meat or a problem of the director's production?"
She asked the question, very sharply and harshly.
It seems that she is very pertinent in asking this question, because whether I have an understanding of the current entertainment dynamics, which is testing my sensitivity to the entertainment industry, whether it is the same as a sensitive area of an actor.
Is the top-level traffic and small fresh meat products equal to the market? It is really difficult to answer this question.
Walked casually sipping her coffee, as if waiting for my answer, or rather she was also testing my ability to react.
I really didn't dare to panic in front of her, and the questions she asked were completely different from the position of trainee.
I had to answer.
I only relied on the reports of some news media I watched during this time and some of my own opinions, how to come in and express my thoughts.
"Teacher, you raised this question, in fact, it is very common in the market, and the film and television investment of the top small fresh meat plus high production may be able to achieve high profits in the first year or two. As far as the current market is concerned, the audience now tends to be rational, there are a lot of large number of IP products, and some products can get a high return on investment after adaptation, but even if some IP classes have a high readership, if he is immature in the market operation, and if the script production in the later stage is not successful, he just relies on traffic alone to occupy the market, I think it may be relatively dangerous to do so. ”
"Oh, for example?"
I took a deep breath, and I decided to express what I wanted to know in one breath, because I felt that this was also a rare opportunity to show myself, no matter what, whether I succeeded or not, I had to do it according to my inner thoughts, maybe it would be better this way, without thinking about something.
"For example, this summer, to the above science fiction drama >, this IP is a best-selling work of a very famous novelist, it is already an IP with high traffic, why it was removed from the shelves after only 8 days on the shelves, the original design can sell the market with a capacity of 30 billion, and now it only gets a turnover of 150 million, and this product has suffered a huge loss. This work is something that everyone should look forward to, the high-traffic top little fresh meat protagonist, the grand scene of science and technology investment design, why he must not escape the end of the whole army. ”
A
Gela looked at me quietly, "So you think it's the problem of the capital side, and is this the question of whether you should use this top-notch little fresh meat?"
I'm also confused, because I don't really understand this question.
I replied: "For this question, in fact, I am also very confused, in today's capital operation, no matter how glamorous your work is, but in the end, it must return to whether your work conforms to the mainstream values of the current concern, whether it caters to their ultimate preferences." The two works made by the great director Mr. Chen Kaige back then, one is > and the other is >, these two works should be regarded as Director Chen's feng shui ridge, Wuji used the top little fresh meat and top traffic stars at the moment, but he also lost Maicheng, and the core stalk is that the script is not good. ”
"So do you think the company invests in a project like a trainee, do you think it is risky? What we are about to cultivate is also calculated according to the design of the market and the flow rate. ”A
Gela asked rhetorically.
I was going to blurt out that it was my idea, but I felt as if as a 20-year-old girl could understand the market too well, so as not to make people think that there was a master in the future.
The company was originally going to recruit a perfect amateur, and if you get an old fox in now, it is simply possible to have an attempt, so it is impossible for any company to recruit an employee with an attempt.
This kind of attempt is self-evident, I don't know if this is good for the enterprise, or a box for the enterprise, so the words are designed with a safety card, and generally this aspect will not be considered.
When I realized that I had gone too far, I temporarily restrained my emotions, because I couldn't behave too professionally in front of him, and there was something called noisy and bad.
And I'm even less likely to be in A
Gela has an axe in front of the class, she has been immersed in this economic industry for so many years, and she is not such a simple role as you imagined.
After a moment of contemplation, I replied: " In fact, I have also thought about this problem, but I think nothing can stop new creatures, such as trainees, whether the company plans them according to how a design and direction, but it is for the entire service market, but also for the company to bring profits, so I think that a position like a trainee does not mean that it must be designed into what kind of positioning, it is ultimately to serve the market, if it is in line with a service direction of the market, I think it is a concept that trainees should exist. ”
A
Gela took a hard puff of her cigarette and pressed it against the ashtray.
"In fact, from my point of view, I think you may have more opportunities for development as an agent than you as an actor, I don't know if you have considered doing the economic department, many departments set up by our company are from the front of the stage, behind the scenes, and in theaters, this production line is one-stop. ”
She suddenly brought up the agent, she really didn't react consciously, I never thought of being an agent, she suddenly brought it up, I don't know how to answer.
"I ......," I hesitated.
"You don't have to rush to reply to me now, just give you such advice and consideration, because according to your logical thinking, maybe you may be more productive as an agent than you are an actor, of course you want to be an actor, this is just the time to launch an opportunity like an intern, you can learn first, and then you feel that after the two aspects are balanced, if you want to go to the agent side, you can find me. ”
"Hmm...... Thank you. ”
A
Gela smiled with flaming red lips, "Take advantage of your own opportunities, young man, congratulations on passing the interview today." ”
She stretched out a delicate hand to me, and she still had a good perfume smell on her body, CHANEL's NO.9.
Returning the gift and shaking her hand, the smell of perfume and cigarette on his body mixed together, mixed into a very good smell, smelling this smell, I always feel relieved and peaceful, yes, because this is A
The taste of gela.
I didn't expect A
Gela's last words almost knocked my jaw off.
A
"Your words and actions today remind me of an old friend of mine," Gela said. ”
"Ah...... Who?"
A
Gela flicked the cigarette ash and said, "My old friend is Gu Li, who used to be committed to creating trainees, and committed to trainees that are in line with the operation of the market, and she once said that she does not plan to compromise with capital operation. ”
It turns out that what I just said is actually what I was thinking about before, but it is just blurted out.
"I, during this time, I have watched a lot of film and television reviews, and I have feelings. ”
A
Gela shrugged her shoulders and said, "OK, look at my suggestion, you can think about it, your appearance is indeed good, but if you want to mix it up here, your appearance is just a starting stone." But there is really no shortage of good-looking people in the entertainment industry, and high-value people are pouring in batch after batch. If one day you want to be a broker, this is a very interesting thing, you can take what you imagine can be more designed for them, so that they can become more possible, I think this is also the insight I have come to the matter of practicing brokers for so many years. ”
"Thank you, teacher...... "I was very sincere," I said, "maybe one day I may become an agent and live a very chic life like a teacher." ”
A
Gela's assistant stood inside the glass window, and she beckoned me to come over, and the sunlight outside the window was just right, and the height of the 55th floor was enough to make people feel dizzy.
A
Gela lit a cigarette again, and pointed out the window with her bright fingers.
"The peak of the prosperity of the whole city is trampled underfoot. Whether there is the feeling of standing in the clouds, like walking on thin ice, the tiniest crack is enough to make people crush their bones. Do anyone and anything, don't forget your original intention......"
