Chapter 894: I Still Want to Go
"This Xiao Yao is too good, isn't it?" Yu Shaoting said, "Going against a lot of traffic celebrities in the circle, isn't he afraid of causing a collective attack from the entire entertainment industry?"
"Actually, it's okay!" Zhang Wenqing said, "Although these requirements sound a bit excessive, but when you think about it, it is normal for people, as producers, to have their own requirements for actors." Their strict requirements for the actors indicate that they have requirements for the filming process and the quality of the final product of this play. ”
"I didn't mean you!" Zhang Wenqing looked at Yu Shaoting and explained before continuing, "In this current environment, it is not a new thing for small traffic and fresh meat to be criticized for having no acting skills and not being dedicated but occupying a large number of resources. If this matter is brought out, the public will only be on their side. Therefore, even if many companies are dissatisfied with their requirements, most of them just take it to heart and will not jump out to attack, at least they will not openly attack him because of this matter, which is purely asking for trouble. ”
"Even if you don't openly attack him because of this incident, you will inevitably be dissatisfied in your heart. Yu Shaoting said, "Isn't he afraid that others will secretly make small moves for him, such as an internal blockade or something." ”
"By the way, our company has such a good relationship with Shonan Satellite TV," Speaking of this, Yu Shaoting suddenly looked at Zhang Wenqing and said, "You won't ask Shonan Satellite TV to block Xiao Yao, right?"
Yu Shaoting's brokerage company is called Yier Media, and it has a deep and complicated relationship with Xiangnan Satellite TV. More than 20 years ago, several popular talent shows on Shonan Satellite TV were produced by Yier Media. In those talent shows, players with outstanding performance or potential will be signed in advance by Yier Media. In a sense, Yier Media is the artist library of Shonan Satellite TV, and the broadcast platform of the programs produced by Yier Media is Shonan Satellite TV, which means that Shonan Satellite TV provides a platform to help IlMedia support artists, and the relationship between the two is very close.
Yier Media developed as a talent show, and later did a lot of talent shows. When encountering some potential players, they will still sign in advance as usual, but the company is bigger, it is inevitable that the store will bully customers, those players are newcomers, and the signing conditions given are more harsh, plus there are more entertainment companies and more choices, and some players will inevitably be unwilling to sign a contract with Yier.
For those players who refuse to sign, Yier Media will naturally have some means to deal with it. It is normal to reduce the number of shots in the show sharply or eliminate them early, and if it is more unpleasant, Shonan Satellite TV will help block the artist, even if the contestant makes his debut, it is difficult to appear in the program of Shonan Satellite TV.
Yu Shaoting made his debut in a talent show produced by Yier Media and broadcast by Shonan Satellite TV. Among the contestants in the same year and the same program, some were banned by Shonan Satellite TV because they offended Yier Media. This kind of thing is not a secret in the circle, and Yu Shaoting has seen it with his own eyes, so he asked this question.
"What do you want?" Zhang Wenqing said, "The relationship between Xiangnan Satellite TV and Xiao Yao has always been good, and the two pillars of the variety show department in the station, Wang Yuan and Ke Jun, both have a very good personal relationship with Xiao Yao. Unless Xiao Yao has some particularly serious scandal, and the top directly issues an executive order to publicly demand the banning of Xiao Yao, it is impossible for Shonan Satellite TV to block Xiao Yao. You look at the ratings and topicality of the programs that Xiao Yao has participated in on Shonan Satellite TV, it is too late for Shonan Satellite TV to invite Xiao Yao to the show, and it is impossible for our company to open this mouth with Shonan Satellite TV!"
"Shonan Satellite TV won't do anything to Xiao Yao, so what about our company's own side?" Yu Shaoting asked again.
"The company's attitude towards Xiao Yao is also good. Zhang Wenqing said, "First of all, although we can see from this incident that Xiao Yao is not afraid of offending people, Xiao Yao is not stunned, nor does he mean to offend people. He just said that they had this requirement, and let us consider whether their artists should go to auditions, but he didn't directly say that those people are not worthy of being actors or anything. At least on the surface, Xiao Yao is not too much, and they can be reasonable. ”
"Secondly, their company is a film and television company, which only does film and television projects, not artist brokerage. Zhang Wenqing continued, "Even if some companies are dissatisfied with them and don't allow their artists to take over their company's plays, how many companies and artists there are in Huaxia, as long as they don't offend all the brokerage companies in Huaxia, they can always find actors." Not to mention anything else, six of the seven founders of their company are actors, five are second-generation stars, their own friends, friends of their parents, plus actors under the family studio, it is definitely not difficult to make up the actors needed for a film and television project.
There are many entertainment companies, many artists, and many actors, and there are few relatively good film and television projects, and there are few job opportunities. Their film and television companies provide roles and job opportunities for actors. Generally, other companies are looking for them for their actors to fight for roles, and they don't need to ask other companies to find actors, how many companies in the circle will really tear their faces and do with them?"
"Sister Zhang, the company said that it didn't want me to audition, and it wasn't that I was dissatisfied because the other party sent this supplementary explanation, but just that I thought I couldn't meet the other party's requirements?" Yu Shaoting thought for a while and asked Zhang Wenqing.
"Of course, I think you can't meet the other party's requirements," Zhang Wenqing said, "The company doesn't want you to waste your time." ”
"In that case, I would like to ask you to tell the company that I don't want to give up this opportunity, but I still want to go to the audition and fight for that role. Yu Shaoting said, "If necessary, I can go with you to talk to the company." ”
"What?" Zhang Wenqing said with some surprise, "You still have to audition for that role?"
"Yes!" Yu Shaoting nodded, "Of the three you just said, I must be fine without a stand-in for the last one, and there should be no problem on the company's side." The first is not a problem, and some other work is not non-negotiable. The company's main concern is the second one, that I will not be able to take this role and waste my time. But even without this requirement for additional instructions, this role is definitely me, and I still have to audition and compete with others. Now that this requirement has been added, there is still competition, maybe there are fewer people competing, why can't I give it a try?"
"But your previous roles were all dubbed by others!" Zhang Wenqing said.
"Even though I've played roles in the past with voice actors, I don't think my own original voice is necessarily out of the question. Yu Shaoting said, "I made my debut as a singer, and my voice is not unpleasant, and I can also say all the lines according to the script during filming." In the past, voice actors were used for roles, perhaps because of the style of the work, or maybe the producer and director thought that I was born as a talent star, and they didn't consider using my original voice at all. But even if I didn't come from an acting class, I have filmed a lot of scenes in the past few years, gained a lot of experience, and learned a lot of acting from some senior actors, including lines. ”
"That's right," Zhang Wenqing nodded, "You have worked hard all these years, even if you have a voice actor, you have been learning." But..."Zhang Wenqing still seemed a little hesitant when he said the back.
"Sister Zhang!" Yu Shaoting saw Zhang Wenqing's hesitation and interrupted her, "I don't want to be called a traffic star all the time." The shelf life of this thing is too short, and the future is too unstable. Maybe when a popular variety show comes out this year, there will be another bunch of popular traffic stars, and I may be killed on the beach by the back. A star with empty traffic can easily become a shooting star. What can really stand for a long time has to be the kind of strength that it has to guarantee. ”
"That's a good point," Zhang Wenqing said, "but if you don't like to hear it, is your strength enough now?"
"Is it enough, let's try it, let the producer and the director say!" Yu Shaoting said, "Anyway, the audition will be in two days, that is, it will be delayed for a few days, I shouldn't be able to afford to delay it now, right?"
"Auditions are expected to start in two days, but it's impossible to audition all the roles in one day. Zhang Wenqing said, "The specific day is when you go to the audition, and the other party has not given a clear time." Originally, this time should have been given today, but after adding that supplementary explanation, the list of actors auditioning for the other party will definitely have to be adjusted, and they will have to rearrange the audition time, and they don't know when the notice of the audition time will be given. ”
"Then wait a few more days!" Yu Shaoting said, "My recent schedule shouldn't be too full, right?"
"Originally, there was no problem, but today the company called me to a meeting, and the Ministry of Commerce said that it had contacted another brand's advertising endorsement. Zhang Wenqing said, "You are quite in line with the brand's requirements for spokespersons, and after receiving the supplementary instructions from the casting studio, the company is ready to give you this endorsement opportunity, and I want you to focus on communicating with that brand in the next few days." ”
"I'd rather not have this opportunity to endorse!" Yu Shaoting said, "Since I still have to communicate and fight, that is to say, the other party is not saying that I have to do it." I'm not the only artist in the company who is about the same level as me, please ask the company to arrange someone else to go, there should be no loss to the company!"
"What?" Zhang Wenqing said a little anxiously, "Even if there is no loss to the company, is there no loss to yourself?
"I think that even if I can't immediately change from a traffic star in the eyes of others to a powerful person, this role can also allow me to take a very important and very solid step in this direction. Yu Shaoting said.
"What do you say?" asked Zhang Wenqing.
"Among the young artists now, Xiao Yao is the most popular. Yu Shaoting said, "Although Xiao Yao's traffic is very large and he does not lose to any traffic stars, in fact, not many people really regard him as a traffic star." Whether it is singing or acting, or even participating in variety shows, Xiao Yao in the eyes of the audience relies on strength, not to mention the behind-the-scenes creative talent he has shown since his debut, and he is not the kind of star who relies on traffic in any case. ”
"That's Xiao Yao, what does it have to do with you?" Zhang Wenqing said strangely.
"The relationship is that Xiao Yao is not only not a traffic star himself, but there is no pure traffic star among the people who cooperate in filming!" Yu Shaoting said, "Sister Zhang, think about it, what is the reputation of Xiao Yao's two movies last year and this year? Are there pure traffic stars in them? Zhao Rui, Xu Fei, Lin Qisan, which one is not said by everyone to be the acting school among young actors? Even Sun Tingting, a newcomer who is named Xiao Yao's girlfriend and was previously said to be a relation, "Donkey Gets Water" After the release, she basically praised her acting skills, not to mention the old actors like He Ying and those drama actors. ”
"Xiao Yao's film and television works already have a very good reputation," Yu Shaoting continued, "In the hearts of the audience, he also has the impression of pursuing quality." ”
With that said, it's no surprise that he would make those demands on actors. Yu Shaoting muttered to himself, and then said to Zhang Wenqing, "If I can really win the role in his new drama, does it also mean that my acting skills are recognized by him?
"Acting with Xiao Yao, there are really no traffic stars, if you act with him, it will really help your actor's image, which makes sense. Zhang Wenqing nodded, but after looking down and thinking about it, he raised his head and said to Yu Shaoting, "But how do you know that winning this role is to play with Xiao Yao?
"Even if Xiao Yao doesn't play the male lead, this drama is at least produced by Xiao Yao's company, and Xiao Yao is also in the screenwriter of this drama. Yu Shaoting said, "How can you have anything to do with Xiao Yao, right?" Think about the sitcom of the newcomers to Shenju last year, those actors now have a very good reputation, at least the audience's recognition of their acting skills is not low. In this respect, I'm not inferior to them, right? My traffic is much higher than that of those newcomer actors who apply for opera, as long as I can have their kind of reputation after performing this drama, I won't lose anything. ”
"Also, if I can win that role, then can the company "accidentally" leak the supplementary explanation to the media!" Yu Shaoting finally said, "Once this matter is exposed, in terms of public opinion, it will only be good for Xiao Yao and his company, since Xiao Yao is not afraid and will not offend his peers in the circle, then our "accidental" exposure to the media should not cause them much disgust, right?"
"Let's not talk about this first, let the company arrange it when the time comes!" Zhang Wenqing waved his hand, looked at Yu Shaoting and said, "Are you determined that you must go to the audition?"
"Yes!" Yu Shaoting nodded with a firm expression.
"Okay, then I'll help you tell the company!" Zhang Wenqing said.
