Chapter 22 Turning to the TV Drama Market

"It's okay, they originally asked me to be a trainee. However, after the trailer of "Slaying the Dragon" came out, they raised the price and said that they would give me a D sign.

I still dragged it with them, wanting to wait for the specific box office of "Slaying the Dragon" to come out, if the box office is good, maybe I can get a C sign. Ying Bao said.

The general rules of the entertainment industry, artist contracts are divided into five levels of ABCDE.

E is a trainee contract, D is a new debut artist contract, C is a contract for a well-known artist, B is a well-known artist contract, and A is a first-line star contract.

Jiang Bai thought for a while and said: "It's difficult, C-signed artists are already the mainstay of general film and television companies."

Even if "Slayer the Dragon" is good at the box office, you won't attract much popularity if you appear in it for too short a time.

The popularity is not up to the requirements, and the acting skills are not very good, if it is a new company that lacks artists, maybe grit your teeth and sign you, but Hairun ...... Clearly not in this category of companies. ”

"People know it's unlikely, but they just try to get better terms. If you really can't reach it, even if it's a D visa. In fact, if there was no "Slaying the Dragon", I would have signed it even if it was an E signature. Ying Bao sighed.

Jiang Bai flicked the cigarette ash and said, "Actually, you have another choice. ”

"What's the choice?" asked Yingbao.

Jiang Bai said: "Just come to me." ”

"Are you here?"

Jiang Bai nodded: "After the dragon slaying is released, I will set up a studio, and you can sign it under my studio." ”

"However, didn't you say that my current acting skills are a little reluctant to develop on the big screen, let me shoot a few TV series first, and then practice my acting skills?"

Jiang Bai smiled: "But my next work is ...... I'm planning to make a TV series. You sign in to my studio, and you can also be the female number one!"

"You're going to make a TV series? Why did you suddenly come up with this idea?"

There is an unwritten chain of contempt in the entertainment industry, those who make movies look down on those who make TV series, those who make TV series look down on those who make online dramas, and those who make online dramas look down on those who make micro-movies.

Although "Slaying the Dragon" has not yet been officially released, it has been basically recognized by industry insiders through yesterday's premiere.

Jiang Bai can be regarded as officially stepping into the circle of film directors.

At this time, it is time to continue to shoot movies and consolidate your position, how can you have a whim and make a TV series?

Jiang Bai smiled bitterly, how could he not understand the truth that Ying Bao said?

It's just that this choice was really made out of necessity.

His directing ability comes from system skills, and the ability of junior director skills is actually equivalent to the strength of a top TV drama director.

"Slaying the Dragon" was able to enter the film market, mainly relying on the special effects technology inside.

If you put aside the special effects, the shooting technology and scheduling ability in it are actually not able to catch up with normal film works.

This is also the reason why Jiang Bai wanted to give up the Chinese New Year file and avoid excellent film works such as "Tangshan Earthquake" and "Let the Bullets Fly".

The front steel, "Slaying the Dragon", which only relies on special effects, may not be able to pass the steel.

"Slaying the Dragon" is now a handsome man covering up all the ugliness, relying on excellent special effects to cover up other shortcomings.

So Jiang Bai has been recognized by his peers in the film industry.

But this kind of perk is only available in the first movie.

Once Jiang Bai shoots his second film, film critics and audiences who have already experienced the baptism of special effects will shift their attention from special effects to other places.

Jiang Bai, who will still maintain this level at that time, will be sprayed into a dog immediately!

The only way to solve this hidden danger is to quickly improve your directing skills to the intermediate level.

As long as the director's skills reach the intermediate level, he can reach the ability of a first-line director in terms of ability.

At that time, even if it couldn't be compared with some international big directors, at least it was not bad compared with top domestic directors such as Yimou, Kaige, and Xiaogang.

The works that are filmed will not be criticized at the technical level.

But it's not an easy task.

The effect of each level of the system skill varies greatly, and the exchange price also varies greatly.

It costs 200 Influence to redeem a Beginner Director skill, but 2,000 Influence to redeem an Intermediate Director Skill!

With so much influence, even if "Slaying the Dragon" is released and wins this year's box office championship, it will not be obtained.

Therefore, Jiang Bai felt that after the release of "Slaying the Dragon", it was necessary for him to switch to the TV drama market and shoot one or two TV series first to accumulate strength.

After gathering enough influence points and exchanging the director's skills to the intermediate level, you will return to the film market.

Jiang Bai stroked Ying Bao's smooth skin and chuckled: "Of course I have my reasons, but I don't think it's a bad thing, at least I can cooperate with you again." If you act in a TV series, I'll make a movie, and I'll miss you so much if I'm not there for a few months!"

"You hate it!"

Ying Bao hammered Jiang Bai the chest, and then said beautifully: "That's fine, I'm playing the female number one in your crew, so I'm not afraid that someone will dare to bully me!"

"Haha, don't worry, there is only one person in this world who can bully you, and that is me! Why don't you let me bully you now?"

Jiang Bai threw out the cigarette butt he had smoked, hugged Ying Bao hard, and kissed it fiercely.

……

Early the next morning, Yingbao ran out in a hurry.

When Jiang Bai got up slowly, prepared breakfast leisurely, and was about to start, she saw her running back with a large number of films, television, newspapers and magazines.

"That's it!" Ying Bao slapped a large stack of newspapers and magazines on the dining table.

Jiang Bai looked at her suspiciously: "What is this?"

"Movies, Newspapers and Magazines!" Ying Bao said in surprise.

Jiang Bai said: "I naturally know that these are film and television newspapers and magazines, I mean, why do you buy so many film and television newspapers and magazines?"

"These are all newspapers and magazines praising us! I want to buy them all, keep them all as a souvenir!" Ying Bao said proudly.

Jiang Bai looked at the sky and said speechlessly: "Please, eldest sister! These articles in magazines are all bought by us with money." Do you collect them to remind yourself of how hypocritical they are?

If you want to listen to the audience's heart, why don't you wait for the official release, let's go to the cinema to watch the movie together, and listen to what those ordinary viewers are saying, that's the real thing. ”

"Ahh

Ying Bao's expression fell, and he sat weakly in his chair.

made its screen debut, and the media was full of admiration.

She thought it was everyone's affirmation of her, so she happily bought it back.

But I didn't expect it to be all fake.

This made her really discouraged.

Jiang Bai glanced at her and put down the half-eaten slice of bread in his hand.

"There's no need to be so frustrated, many things in this world are hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and what outsiders see is always what they want to see, so there's really no need to care what they say.

Just like filming "Slaying the Dragon", do you think your acting is good? Or do you think your acting skills have improved through "Slaying the Dragon"?" Jiang Bai said indifferently.
