……

As Xie Yu said, the peak period of ordinary artists is two or three years.

The income structure of artists in the entertainment industry is completely pyramid-shaped, most of them are idle at the bottom, sweat and sweat on the red carpet, and use the back as a ladder for the strong to step on the top;

But this corner cone is not stable, the liquidity is extremely large, geniuses and hanging ratios are very few after all, more artists have to rely on luck to become popular, but luck is something that cannot be seen, touched, or controlled, so whenever it becomes popular for a while, almost everyone will choose to seize the time to make money and realize their fame.

frantically picking up dramas, running announcements endlessly, appearing on variety shows, receiving advertisements, and saving a lot of money while this popularity is ...... This is the regular process of an artist who suddenly becomes popular.

Then walk towards loneliness.

Even if Cao Fang doesn't want to overdraw his potential, he can't be too salty at this stage, whether it is to maintain exposure, or make contacts, learn skills, and lay a good career foundation, he must be busy, not just spend money to enjoy life.

Thankfully, he wasn't disgusted by it, and was already having fun.

Money and power are the most inextricable poison in the world, and once they find the right way to use it, no one can help but indulge in it.

Golf driving range.

Cao Fang swung the forty-fifth stroke, and now he has practiced the basic movements of the swing very well, and he still can't get on the table, but at least he looks decent, he took off his hat, walked to the rest area under the parasol, and asked for a glass of lemon mint soda.

"With all due respect, your hobbies are getting closer to the evil high society now. Lu was stunned and scratched his messy hair, this guy is now more and more of a director's raunchy artistic style, after entering Chen Jingyao's studio, he was so busy that he had no time to take care of himself, and his appearance dropped rapidly.

Hard landing.

He turned the ThinkPad in one direction, and the interface for video playback was already open.

"Not really, I still have a cheap hobby of eating heavy junk food and watching Asian small movies. ”

Cao Fang dealt with it casually, he came today to see the sample film that Lu Jingzhen had newly copied.

Before replacing Lin Yin with Lu Jingzhen, Cao Yifang had a general understanding of his brother's level of handling the camera, and now he just wanted to see his recent progress.

"The film has been filmed, and it belongs to the comedy action movie. Lu Jingzhen pressed the mouse, "This part was filmed by me, and Chen Jingyao is mainly responsible for shouting 666......"

In the picture, a muscular man is doing a combination gym at home.

A dazzling series of quick cuts featuring the protagonist doing fancy push-ups, pull-ups, and squats carrying two houses of pure water.

"Ten seconds in total. Lu Jingzhen explained: "I want to explain the exercise situation very cleanly, and the audience can understand it, so as not to take up valuable time." ”

He stepped back a square.

In the frame, the camera focuses on a messy table, and the protagonist of the push-ups is blurred in the upper left corner.

"This picture explains the identity of the protagonist, with handcuffs and a gun on it, indicating that he is a police officer, and a pair of sexy female panties hanging down at the foot of the table......"

"Nice job done in the details. ”

Cao Fangfang understood at a glance that the protagonist Bacheng was a prodigal policeman, "The details are well done." He thought for a moment and asked, "Can the police still mess around?"

"It's not a big problem, Chen Jingyao in order to avoid censorship, the story is placed abroad, this is the evil of the United States. Lu was stunned and said quickly: "As soon as the domestic audience saw it, hey, our Chinese people are engaged in Yanmar abroad, and they have a lot of national pride, so they rush to this character, and the box office is not low...... The review of action movies with foreign backgrounds in China will be relaxed, and it will be almost the same if a quarter is cut. ”

Cao Fang nodded, and didn't say more, he mainly looked at Lu Jingzhen's directing skills.

This is not the whole film, just a sample film edited by Lu Jingzhen's own shooting.

There are three directors who are really in charge of the camera in the whole movie, and Lu Jingzhen shoots the least part of it, but there are many essences.

The camera movement and pacing are very Hollywood, in short, very commercial, quite concise and sharp aesthetic.

After the villain agent got out of the car, Lu Jingzhen used a handheld camera and followed behind to shoot the whole process.

Then the door just opened, and it went deep into the dark room, when the audience was waiting with bated breath.

There was a bang.

A hole has been made in the back of the front agent's head, and the camera is directed at the hole.

The camera shuddered as if it had been hit.

Then the camera returned to its position, and through the hole in the back of the head, I saw the muzzle of another black hole.

The muzzle of a pistol.

The shot was gone in a flash.

Cao Yifang nodded silently, although it looked average on the laptop, it would be shocking in the cinema, and the audience was full of presence.

Next is a passionate electronic sound, the lyrics are half middle and half tones, which seems to be earthy, but following the plot, the enemy is all in chaos, the protagonist shuttles through different rooms, and falls down as soon as the gun goes off, and finally runs out of bullets, and directly shoots the head with the woman's high heels.

It can be seen that the picture is as bloody as possible, and tries to dilute the violence with a sense of comedy.

For example, when all this is over, the bathroom door is slammed open, and a blonde woman who has just changed into erotic lingerie looks at the corpses scattered outside the door.

The protagonist is embarrassed: "Honey, this time you really have to put on your clothes." ”

Lu Jingzhen explained: "This joke does not exist alone, but echoes the previous plot...... The protagonist in front of her asked her to put on her clothes several times......"

"Shhhh ”

Cao Fang didn't want to hear him talk about the plot of the movie, just watched his camera movement and editing.

The sample film that Lu Jingzhen showed him was only fifteen minutes long, but whether it was a shootout, a speeding car, or a noisy and noisy various unexpected chases, it was all exciting.

"Very good, that's enough. Cao Fang asked: "Did you cut it in the later stage?"

Lu said proudly: "Originally, I was not allowed to touch it, but this time I won it...... Give me half. ”

"Amazing, it's useless for you to shoot a TV series at this level. Cao Fangfang cocked Erlang's legs, took a sip of his drink, and said with a smile: "But you still do your homework in advance, you like cool storyboards when you play school, you have a character shooting angle, and edit quickly, but the TV series should be slower......"

"You don't have to say that. Lu patted his chest: "I will definitely do my homework, I will give whatever the market wants, okay?"

Cao Fangfang really felt that his buddy was obedient and easy to use, pinched his shoulder, bared his teeth and smiled: "The person who believes in you the most in the world is buddy me!"

The two took advantage of the time to chat for a while, and Cao Fangfang showed off his palace forcing skills, "I released the news at the time, and ......the media knew, yo, Cao Yifang took over the protagonist of the immortal sin?

Lu was shocked to hear it, "Hahahaha! Does she dare to say that it is undecided? It's all silver for nothing......

"It's a pink soft girl coin hahahaha!"

Cao Fangfang said: "Come to me immediately, I will pack the newcomers in our studio, Chen Jin and Mi Yanxi...... And you!"

Lu was so shocked that he couldn't see his teeth: "What did Aunt Cai say at that time?"

Cao Fang gestured and smiled coldly: "O**K." ”

"Hahahahaha...... Awesome!"

……

In the first year of his debut, he honestly filmed the drama as a foundation, and the second year will obviously be a tailwind period for Cao Fangfang's career.

Thick accumulation, hair.

In recent days, Cao Fang has been flying everywhere, busy signing endorsement contracts with various brands, and he is not in such a hurry, but he wants to spare time to play with his girlfriend.

What made him a little uncomfortable was Coca-Cola, which seemed to be unable to give a reasonable endorsement price.

This company is very good at marketing, but they don't like to use new stars, maybe they don't think their popularity is stable.

So Chen Yaman chose a domestic retail brand instead, and endorsed a high-end mineral water called Linda for two years.

The endorsement fee is very exaggerated.

Eighteen million a year.

This is the most expensive of all Cao Fangfang's endorsement advertisements.

The cost of this kind of advertising endorsement is actually a relatively core trade secret now, whether it is the celebrity's team or the brand, it will not be easily revealed, and the so-called sky-high advertising fees exposed on the Internet are basically blown.

If the public knows that Cao Fang is so able to hold money now, it will actually hurt his image to a certain extent, especially since there are definitely people shouting for him to donate money every day.

"I didn't expect the drink endorsement to give such a high price. ”

In Liu Meng's studio, Chen Yaman and Cao Fang ate cake to celebrate, Cao Fang stuffed a big mouthful into his mouth, and said vaguely.

"Of course, I tell you, don't look down on FMCG endorsements, those are the real ones who are willing to spend a lot of money. ”

Chen Yaman now has her own office in the studio, she took off her shoes and nested in the boss's chair, and said with a smile: "How to say it, because the endorsement of FMCG will consume the halo of a star, if you endorse too much, you can see your Cao Fang's face in the future, such as instant noodles, biscuits, sanitary napkins, etc., and your face will be considered bad." ”

"I understand. Cao Fang wiped his mouth: "It's hard to pick up if you drop it, and it's money." ”

"Yes, if there are too many FMCG endorsements, you will get cheaper and cheaper, and it will even affect the salary. Chen Ya said: "But luxury is different, although the money given by luxury endorsement is not too much, but if you tie up a stylish luxury brand for a long time, your value will rise...... So in terms of intrinsic value, Armani is your best spokesperson. ”

"Okay, then don't take too many messy ads, and the trickle will be long. ”

Cao Fangfang walked to her computer, "I still have dinner in the evening, hurry up, show me the script." ”

"Okay, then I'll let you. Chen Yaman got up, gave up the seat to Cao Fangfang, she walked to the full-length mirror to touch up her makeup, and she also had dinner in the evening.

Cao Fang opened the mailbox and patiently began to read the script.

Didn't he take the Xiansin TV series before, this kind of Xianxia IP adapted TV series, the script is sparse, so let Chen Yaman find a few young screenwriters and let them go to see the original work, and then try to write a story outline that conforms to the structure of the TV series script.

They are now Party A's company, let a few Party B companies bid on a sample, and then screen out the one that can be used.

It's very cruel, because everyone has put in their energy, but if it doesn't work, you won't get a penny.

There's no way, screenwriters in the circle now have no human rights, especially young screenwriters.

When Cao Fang first watched the first one, it took ten minutes, and then it got faster and faster, and his face became worse and worse.

"Oh my god, can this also be called a script outline?"
