Chapter 189: The Heroine

Although she is a serious professional, Wang Yulan does not have any extraordinary talent in directing, otherwise she would not have found a suitable job when she just graduated, and was reduced to working as a small assistant in the brokerage department of "Nine Star Entertainment".

The director genius of the same class as Wang Yulan, when he was still studying at the National Academy of Drama, had already completed his first feature film, and it was still released in theaters, although the box office results were not very good, but he won several small awards.

And his latest movie is now being released in theaters, and the box office has accumulated more than one billion.

Some film critics have already called him "the leader of the new directors under the age of 30 in the Dragon Kingdom", of course, when the film critic commented on him, he temporarily forgot the identity of director Zhao Zhenghao.

In fact, in the current Dragon Kingdom entertainment circle, Zhao Zhenghao's identity ranks first as a singer, followed by a songwriter, then an actor, and then a program planner, and the director can only be ranked fifth, often ignored.

On the power list of the entertainment industry, the director is at the forefront, and the movie actor is ranked before the singer.

Therefore, although Zhao Zhenghao has reached the peak and reached the limit in the identity of a singer, there are still many directions that can be worked in in the entire entertainment industry.

Moreover, in terms of vitality, singers are also the weakest among all categories in the entertainment industry, especially for idols!

Although Zhao Zhenghao has been able to achieve today's achievements, he still relies more on strength, even if he is still an idol, he is also a powerful idol, and his vitality is much stronger than that of idols in the general sense!

But compared with actors and directors, the vitality of singers is not enough.

For a successful actor, forty years old is the most golden period, and if the state is maintained well, he can act until he is sixty years old, or even longer!

Not to mention the director, at the age of 60, he still maintains his strong creative ability, and there are many international famous directors with excellent works!

And for a singer, no matter how strong his strength is, after he is over fifty, at most he can only lie on the old book of merit.

Like Zhao Zhenghao now, at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, he reached the peak of his singing career, and then moved to the film and television industry, after more than ten years of hard work, he reached the peak of his acting career at the age of forty, and then moved behind the scenes, and reached the peak of his director's career in his fifties and sixties, which is a model in life planning!

However, as a traverser, and with decades of accumulation in the entertainment industry in his previous life, Zhao Zhenghao is fully capable of taking bigger steps.

Now the achievements in the music industry have basically met Zhao Zhenghao's expectations, and the focus of his work in the future will naturally be inclined to the film and television industry, in terms of music career, new albums will be released every three or four years, consolidating the existing position, in order to better maintain popularity, at most a single will be released from time to time, and it will be fine.

There is not much room for growth in the music industry, but in the film and television industry, there are a lot of achievements for him to tackle and achieve one by one!

Dragon Film Awards (Xiangjiang), Dragon Kingdom Film Golden Goblet Award (Beijing), the three major European film festivals, Oscar statuette......

Although in terms of revenue, the film and television industry may be slightly inferior to the music industry, but people like Zhao Zhenghao, who can earn six or seven billion dragon coins in a world tour, are also rare in the world's music industry.

And if you really open up the situation in the film and television industry and establish your status, in fact, there is a lot to be done in this regard, and the income is not necessarily less than that of the music industry.

More crucially, it's not so torturous!

Hosting a world tour that lasts a few months or a year requires a lot more energy and physical energy than making a movie!

If the state is maintained well, a film actor can shoot dozens of movies in his lifetime, but I have never heard of a singer who can hold dozens of world tours in his lifetime!

The world tour mentioned here refers to the real world tour, not the so-called world tour of some singers, which is actually just a concert in a small country in Southeast Asia at a loss, and then it is just a circle in the Dragon Country, and the venues where the concerts are held are all less than 10,000 people.

Zhao Zhenghao's "Dangerous Journey" world tour has traveled to six continents, more than 30 countries, and more than 50 cities - of which foreign cities account for two-thirds, and the average audience exceeds 60,000, including more than 20 concerts with a scale of more than 100,000 people!

Such a real appeal is the greatest confidence to achieve Zhao Zhenghao's international superstar, not like some self-proclaimed international superstars, who actually go out of the Dragon Country, and not many people know each other.

……

Although there is already a hit movie with a box office of more than 5 billion, Zhao Zhenghao is still just a small character in the film and television circle of the Dragon Kingdom, and he is still far from establishing his own authority and having his own power, and he still needs to lean over and be a small and low-key person.

Therefore, the preparation of the crew of "Journey to the West", like "A Chinese Ghost Story", was carried out quietly and secretly, and the selection of actors was also limited to a fairly small range, and there was no public campaign.

In fact, when it was decided to shoot "Journey to the West", Zhao Zhenghao already had his own candidates for the heroines of the two movies - Bai Jingjing, the heroine of the first "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", was played by Feng Xiaojing, and the heroine of the second "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Marrying", Zixia Fairy, was played by Yu Yabin.

In fact, at the beginning of the filming of the original "Journey to the West", it was only ready to be made into a movie, but in the process of filming, it was found that the time of a movie could not accommodate so many whimsical ideas, so it was divided into two.

The heroine of the original "Journey to the West" naturally had only one at the beginning, that is, Zixia Fairy, but after being divided into two parts, Zixia Fairy only existed in the dialogue of the characters in the first part, and she didn't show her face, so it was naturally impossible to take on the role of heroine.

And in the first part, the opposite of the identity of the male protagonist is Bai Jingjing's, so naturally she can only elevate her status in the movie and act as the heroine of the first part!

Zhao Zhenghao, who has the original movie to learn from, naturally will not make the mistake of changing the commander on the spot, and directly arranged two heroines for the two movies, and although these two heroines are involved in the storyline, there is no direct conflict in the plot presented in the movie.
