Chapter 118: Business or Art

"How can any other film company intervene in our crew, the actors in the crew have their own agency behind them, Xiaoguang is a good guy, he has a good appearance, he is very malleable, and his work attitude is positive and serious enough, but he is not an actor from a professional class after all, and he lacks some solid professional skills. Huo Jianqi said as he shook his head with a smile.

Huo Jianqi is also telling the truth, no film company is full, and will come to the crew to choose Lin Xiaoguang, a newcomer who is not famous in the film industry.

What the director said was reasonable, but Tao Hong was not happy, she said unconvinced: "Director, you are not unclear about our Xiaoguang's conditions, although he has not undergone serious professional training in school, but you have watched him act in the play for a long time, has he not reached the level of a professional actor? ”

"That's right, but some things don't just rely on talent and hard work, otherwise there is no need for a film academy, for example, if you open your own brokerage company, you can satisfy the star in terms of material, but what about other aspects, such as connections?"

Take Lin Xiaoguang's supporting actor this time, Huo Jianqi, the original male number two, was originally in love with Pan Yueming, but it was only because of the relationship between producer Tao Hong that Lin Xiaoguang successfully grabbed it.

But if Lin Xiaoguang wants to develop on the big screen in the future and wants to become the leading actor in the movie, then he needs to have the support of the film company behind him, but Lin Xiaoguang's current Hairun Film and Television Company does not have such an ability at all, but then again, even if Hairun Film and Television Group has such ability, it is estimated that it will not support Lin Xiaoguang, but will only treat him as a money-making tool, let him play supporting roles in various film and television dramas, and then get a share of his salary for his hard work.

So sometimes, it is not enough for actors to have acting skills, other resources such as connections and platforms are also very important, and in these things, there is no doubt that those old film management companies are more powerful.

If Lin Xiaoguang wants to go further and further on the road of film, in addition to continuously improving his acting skills, the most important thing is to sign a decent film company.

The content of the conversation between the two is also something that Lin Xiaoguang needs to consider in the future, and at this moment, he is cleaning up the props on the scene with several staff members.

Today's scene has been completed, the crew packed up the equipment and prepared to leave, while Lin Xiaoguang ran to the dressing room to remove makeup.

After a while, Tao Hong walked in, still holding a large bouquet of roses in his hand.

"Sister Tao Hong, where did the flowers come from?" Lin Xiaoguang sat on the chair, turned his head and asked.

"Sent by fans, it's good-looking, right?"

"It's pretty good...... It's okay, Sister Tao Hong, there are fans who send flowers, big stars are different, I've been filming for two years, let alone let fans send me flowers, even if there are very few people who recognize me as an actor on the street, you say, we are both actors, why is the gap between this person and people so big?" Lin Xiaoguang joked with a smile.

Tao Hong comforted: "Xiaoguang, don't be in a hurry, take your time, you are still young, you have filmed the drama well, and there will naturally be audiences who will appreciate you and like you in the future, to tell you the truth, I have been filming for more than ten years, and I have only received a few gifts from fans in total." ”

Lin Xiaoguang smiled and said calmly: "Sister Tao Hong, I understand what you said, I just was idle and bored to complain and complain to you, just joking, I didn't really feel unbalanced." ”

Hearing Lin Xiaoguang say this, Tao Hong nodded with satisfaction: "If you think so, I'm relieved." ”

"By the way, Xiaoguang, your role in our movie "Life Show" is almost finished, what are your plans next?"

Lin Xiaoguang thought for a while and sighed: "No, I haven't asked my agent about my next move, are you going to report to the next crew immediately after filming "Life Show?"

"How can I be? I'm the producer and female number one of "Life Show", after the filming of this movie, I have to run around with the team to promote it, you know, I made this movie, but I have a lot of money, if the box office of this movie is too bad, then I will lose a lot of money. ”

What Tao Hong said is true, as the producer of "Life Show", it took her nearly two years from seeing the original novel in early 99 to pulling film company funds and saving the crew.

Even so, the budget is still not very rich, and Tao Hong paid out of his own pocket to supplement some of it, barely enough to build a group.

The nature of the film is a niche literary film, but the subject matter of the literary film is not really without an audience.

In fact, as early as 1998, Huo Jianqi's "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" was a 100% purebred literary film, in which he boldly used Liu Ye and Chen Hao, who were sophomores at the Central Academy of Drama at the time.

Although the film has received a good response after its screening, because of the unfavorable distribution, only one copy was sold in China, and the box office was naturally not good.

Fortunately, this film was bought and screened by RB studios, which caused a strong response in RB, and Huo Jianqi and other main creators were also invited to participate in the local premiere, earning 1 billion yen at the RB distributor; a distribution agency in the United States also introduced the film, and it was screened in art theaters for half a year, and the box office was very good; subsequently, some European countries also bought the broadcast rights of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog"; after the broadcast in Taiwan and Hong Kong, the box office was also very good, and Taiwan alone earned 4.5 million Taiwan dollars.

The film has not only been a box office hit in foreign countries, but has also won honors or awards at several film festivals at home and abroad.

is also based on the success of "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" in the box office and awards, coupled with his love for movies, Tao Hongbai dared to invest in the movie "Life Show", and also used Huo Jianqi as the director of this play, her idea is actually very realistic, and it is also very simple and rude, even if this movie can't make a lot of money, with Huo Jian's "golden signboard" to escort it, it is estimated that it will not lose too much, even if it is really a loss, maybe you can get an award or something gilded.

Tao Hong didn't hide these circumstances, to tell the truth, and then also apologized for Lin Xiaoguang's salary, because the crew's funds were limited, when Lin Xiaoguang took over the play, he really didn't get much salary, before and after, he stayed in the crew for three or two months, and he symbolically received 50,000 yuan, except for the commission of the film and television company, and finally got 30,000 yuan.

In fact, there is such a thing as salary, and it is also compared with whom, if it is a newcomer actor in the mainland, it is properly regarded as a middle and lower level.

If it is Hong Kong, let's not mention those acting stars who are worth millions of dollars, just the new starlets, how can there be a salary of 30,000 yuan, and the director can't open his mouth at all.

Lin Xiaoguang himself is nothing, 30,000 yuan, although it is not much, it is not really not that he does not make money, and the most important thing is that he likes filming and movies.
