Chapter 881: Crazy Stone
When deciding to shoot small-budget movies, Guo Dalu had already thought about several movies in his memory, some of which were works with small investment and big box office, including comedies and horror films, and even movies that could earn hundreds of millions of dollars for an investment of one or two thousand, which simply brought the "small cost and big box office" to the extreme.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Guo Dalu still decided to start in the form of a comedy.
After all, everyone's lives are so tense now, and comedy works that can make them relax should be more popular.
There are actually a lot of comedy movies with small costs and big box office, but there are really not too many movies that don't consider the appearance of the actors and the factors of the girls.
After thinking about it, only the "Crazy Stone" series is the most suitable.
Such a play, there are no special effects, there are no excessive requirements for the filming location, and there are no requirements for the appearance of the actors, but it is a work of crooked melons and cracked dates, but there are certain requirements for acting skills, in general, as long as there are acting skills, nothing else matters, it doesn't matter how ugly you look!
And the trainees in the Tianxi training class are not lacking in ugly people.
When Guo Dalu formulated the rules of the student class, he had already explained: "We only recruit qualified students who have passed the quality test, not looking at the appearance, but hard power, as long as the professional and cultural quality meets the requirements we have formulated, we will admit him, and we can't specifically admit handsome and beautiful, the performance is not a beauty pageant, not if you are beautiful and handsome, you will definitely be admitted!"
For Guo Dalu's requirements, basically no one dares to disobey, Guo Dalu has long been called a "tyrant", and if he dares to disobey the tyrant's requirements, there is generally only one end, that is, get out.
Even Ma Chengdu didn't dare to disobey Guo Dalu's requirements, he was the general manager of Tianxi Film and Television, it didn't work, Guo Dalu told him to get out, he still had to leave with his tail between his legs, so many people said in private that Guo Dalu was the real controller of Tianxi Film and Television.
So when he formulated the enrollment rules for the actor training class, there was never a person who dared to fill the number indiscriminately, and the only guy who entered the trainee class with a relationship was Zhou Juncai, who Guo Dalu personally stuffed into the training class, but it was still due to the pleading of his old friend Shen Mingcheng, Guo Dalu threw Zhou Juncai into the class after some tests.
The teachers in the training class treat the students equally, and will not favor a certain classmate, but once someone becomes famous and has an annual income of more than 10 million, then the student will automatically graduate, leave the training class, and become a real actor, and then be packaged by Tianxi Companyγ
Compared with other companies, Tianxi Film and Television is actually very preferential for students, even if these students fail to become stars, they can ensure that their income is not lower than that of Chinese white-collar workers, which is enough for many people to maintain their lives.
However, relatively speaking, the income of the guy with poor appearance will definitely be less, which is also a matter of no choice, who makes the current audience like handsome men and beautiful women.
Some viewers have been shouting to watch acting skills and not look at their appearance, but their bodies are very honest, and they still like high-value movies and televisions.
After considering filming "Crazy Stone", Guo Dalu naturally sounded a few ugly people in his training class.
As an international director and an international actor, Guo Dalu sometimes goes to the training class to teach, and he is also very familiar with the students in the class.
After instructing his assistant Wang Fengshan, Guo Dalu waited quietly in his office.
After a while, Zhang Qiushan, Huang Shi, He Zhe, and the rest of the ugly people came to Guo Dalu one after another, all with worried expressions and excited faces.
"I'm going to make a comedy. β
Guo Dalu looked at the few people in front of him and said with a smile: "What I said at the celebration of "The Terminator" a few days ago, you should also know, after the filming of this movie, I will release it anonymously, and no one can guarantee how much the box office of the movie will be, and we are a small-budget film, the salary must be very low, the shooting time is preliminarily set at three months, and your salary must be very low, because my budget this time is only four million." The four million is not dollars, it is RMB. β
He smiled at Zhang Qiushan and others: "Your personal salary will never exceed 100,000 yuan, three months, 100,000 yuan, and you will be tired into a dog, you have to think about whether you can accept this job or not." If you take it, then you have to give me a good performance, and it doesn't matter if you don't take it. β
Zhang Qiushan nodded and said: "Guo Ye, don't ask, don't talk about giving us a salary, even if we don't get paid, we have to take it, we are happy to find money! We haven't been in the crew under your leadership, just to feel the scene you directed and the requirements for us, we also have to take this play!"
Huang Shi also said: "Guo Ye, we are here to learn from you, it doesn't matter if we are paid or not." β
The rest of the people nodded in agreement, and unanimously nodded in agreement to take over the film.
Even if he is released anonymously, even if the box office is not guaranteed, as long as he can get close to Guo Dalu and be familiar in front of Guo Dalu, this is more important than any film!
Salary or something, it's a joke in Guo Dalu's movie, just like Zhang Qiushan said, even if it's looking for money, everyone is willing to take the film!
To have the opportunity to work with the world's top directors, no one is willing to give up this opportunity.
Seeing that a group of people all agreed to take the film, Guo Dalu nodded: "Okay, you are happy." I have a script here, each of you takes a copy, take it back and take a closer look, well, after reading it, with your professional vision, you should be able to find your own role positioning, right?"
Zhang Qiushan, Huang Shi and others looked at each other a few times, and finally Zhang Qiushan represented everyone, "Guo Ye, let's read the script first, and then exchange our views on this play, we should be a little eyebrow by then, but we can't miss your guidance, without your guidance, we can't think about it randomly." β
Guo Dalu laughed: "You are quite good at talking, give you a week to prepare, a week later, let's go to the mountain city to shoot, now the weather is neither hot nor cold, it is a good time for work, let's strive to finish it within three months, and when the New Year comes, as a New Year's film dedicated to the people of the whole country." β
