Chapter 676 - Directly as the heroine
Director Wu was not surprised at all when he heard Xia Shuang's words.
On the contrary, when we talked about cooperation before, Xia Shuang never mentioned this matter, and Director Wu was still puzzled, thinking that Xia Shuang was an outsider and didn't understand this.
Now it seems that it was just not mentioned just now, and it was only mentioned at this time.
Director Wu has also guessed this a long time ago, after all, the cooperation between entertainment companies and well-known directors like them can not only distribute a lot of resources in vain, but also cultivate some artists.
When the director chooses a star, he only considers using an appropriate salary to invite stars with more acting skills and more popularity, so as to increase the box office, accumulate fame for himself, and bring huge benefits to himself.
In addition to paying attention to the box office obtained in the end, entertainment companies generally pay more attention to cultivating some old artists who are not very famous, or cultivating some newcomers, because these can bring more benefits to their entertainment companies in the future.
It can be said that the director is filming just to earn money and enhance his popularity.
The main purpose of the entertainment company's filming is to enhance the popularity of its own company's artists, followed by the income of this drama, and they don't care so much about improving the popularity of the director.
This is also the most well-known director in China before, but Director Wu was not very willing to cooperate with entertainment companies, even if it was a leading enterprise in the Chinese entertainment industry such as Light and Shadow Media Pictures.
is because of the cooperation with the entertainment company, for their director, there is not much benefit, but sometimes because of the use of those newcomers from the entertainment company, it may affect the quality of the whole play, and sometimes it will attract the audience's scolding, after all, most of the newcomers who are replaced and trained do not have very good acting skills at this time, and they need to be cultivated step by step.
In this way, after the filming of many scenes cooperated by directors and entertainment companies, sometimes it actually has a negative impact on the director's reputation, but it has a positive impact on some artists in the entertainment company. After all, no matter how much those viewers complain about the embarrassing acting skills of these new artists, there will still be many viewers who become their fans because of the appearance of these new artists, which will also improve the popularity of these artists and bring more income to entertainment companies in the future.
But this time, since he chose to curry favor with Xia Shuang and Yang Jie, and to cooperate with Light and Shadow Media Pictures, Director Wu is naturally ready for this.
In Director Wu's view, these are completely worth it, although he will lose some reputation and interests, but it is too important for Director Wu to have a good relationship with people like Xia Shuang and Yang Jie, and the road in the future will be much wider.
At this time, Director Wu also said directly: "It's okay, who do you want to change, which role, you can say it directly, don't say one, it's okay to have a few more." ”
Director Wu also made a bloody investment, and was willing to get a few more roles for Light and Shadow Media Pictures to train newcomers.
When Xia Shuang heard this, she glanced at Yang Jie, hesitated slightly, and said directly to Director Wu: "Actually, we don't need many, we only use one, this is a newcomer who has just come to our company, his qualifications are very good, we are ready to spend a lot of resources to cultivate, and even if this is her first time filming, we believe that it will not have much negative impact on your play, after all, her qualifications are there, and we have also inspected her acting skills and something, which is quite okay." ”
Director Wu didn't listen to Xia Shuang's words very much, when those entertainment companies wanted to stuff newcomers to come in and train, they all said that, what kind of appearance is okay, and the acting skills are okay.
But what about the result? The appearance may or may not be good, but the acting skills are all poor and embarrassing, and finally attract a lot of scolding.
However, Director Wu doesn't believe Xia Shuanggui or not, this time he must give her a role, otherwise he won't be able to build a good relationship.
Director Wu waved his hand directly and said: "Mr. Xia, I am also an old man in the entertainment industry, I know all these things, you can directly say which newcomer and which actor's position you want, and I will give it to you directly." ”
Xia Shuang and Yang Jie didn't expect Director Wu to be so bold, and they no longer twisted, Xia Shuang said directly: "As long as there is one position, the heroine of this play!"
"Okay, ......"
Director Wu nodded subconsciously, ready to agree directly, but then quickly reacted, and looked at Xia Shuang and Yang Jie in disbelief.
"You just said the position of the heroine?" Director Wu looked at Xia Shuang and Yang Jie in disbelief.
"Yes, otherwise?" Xia Shuang looked like a matter of course, and other newcomers didn't care, Xia Shuang could accept any role, even a trick, but Qin Lian was different, this was the person Lin Fan sent by name, if she didn't be the heroine, if Lin Fan blamed her, Xia Shuang and Yang Jie couldn't bear it, so it must be the heroine's position.
Director Wu's face was a little ugly at this time, and he looked at Xia Shuang and Yang Jie with a not very good face.
Of course, Director Wu understands that the entertainment company wants to change artists, just to cultivate newcomers, Director Wu is very clear about this, and he is willing to cooperate, after all, he is here to curry favor with Xia Shuang and Yang Jie this time.
But Xia Shuang directly asked for the position of the heroine, which was too much.
You must know that Director Wu's play, but the key play, the actors are basically all well-known stars and old drama bones in China, in other words, they are either extremely well-known well-known stars with good acting skills, or they are also old drama bones that everyone often sees but are not so famous, which one is very powerful.
can be trained by some newcomers from Light and Shadow Media Pictures Company in this play, Director Wu feels that he is already very worthy of Xia Shuang and Yang Jie, but he didn't expect Xia Shuang and Yang Jie to directly ask for the position of the heroine.
If it is any other role, Director Wu will not hesitate to agree because the other party is Xia Shuang and Yang Jie, but the position of the heroine is not good, this is the most important role in the whole play, if it is replaced and played badly, it is very likely to lower the whole play by several grades, which will not only reduce a lot of profits or even losses, but more importantly, it will make Director Wu's reputation stink in the Chinese entertainment circle.
After all, now that the Chinese entertainment industry is developing at the speed of light, any director who makes a bad drama may be directly abandoned by the audience, after all, there have been so many good directors and good dramas in recent years, and it doesn't have much impact if he is a director Wu.
On the one hand, it is his reputation and future in the Chinese entertainment industry in the future, and on the other hand, it is the top power of the level of the gate valve, Director Wu was suddenly in a dilemma, it is not good to promise Xia Shuang, and it is not good to refuse Xia Shuang, which is really embarrassing.
