Chapter 022 National Cultural Strategy
In the middle of March, one day, there was a warm sun. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hengdu Film and Television City, a rare ushered in a blue sky, and near the deserted Qin and Han cities, ushered in the sound of running in the Tang Dynasty.
From the release of "Meng Jiangnu" to the full painting, Tang Nian has been silently concerned, perhaps because he cares too much, he goes home for the New Year every year, and for the first time this year, he did not choose to go home for the New Year, but stayed in Hengdu Film and Television City.
In fact, the year before the year was a busy time for the crews, but after the year, the crews of Hengdu Film and Television City became scarce.
The members of the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop have also returned one after another.
What everyone is most concerned about now is Tang Nian, how to break through the imprisonment that seems to exist but can really be felt, is something that everyone is thinking about.
They can be regarded as old people in the entertainment industry, and they have some understanding of some of the dark sides in the circle, after everyone's discussion, and Tang Nian's imagination is the same, that is, to jump out of the traditional entertainment industry, from stage plays, online dramas and other ways to move forward.
In today's film industry, Tang Nian is easy to touch for a while.
The traditional TV industry, which is inextricably linked with the film industry, will also be completely ignored.
Only by starting anew, jumping out of the influence of "Meng Jiangnu", and not letting people associate the slightest trace of "Meng Jiangnu" from the Tang Dynasty, can we find another way.
However, at a new beginning, it is a pure newcomer, and it is a grassroots acting newcomer with no background, so Tang Nian has to start from the extras again, accumulate little by little, and silently wait for the next opportunity...... This is too cruel for Tang Nian! Seeing the great opportunity that is within reach and hot is just watching it drain away, for a young man who has just ignited hope in his heart, this suffocating sense of strangulation is too painful.
In fact, since the completion of "Meng Jiangnu", Tang Nian has lasted for half a year, combined with his own perception in strange dreams, and then to be an extras and play tricks, he has not been improved at all.
Because from an actor's point of view, Tang Nian's basic shortcomings have been filled, and his acting skills are very balanced, and he is not inferior to those powerful actors who have debuted for about three years and have starred in more than two TV series.
Even if Tang Nian happens to meet some characters who have experienced in strange dreams, it is not an old drama bone that does not belong to the old drama bones, and it is not a problem to break out and completely crush it.
The people of the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop, the unique skills they are good at, have actually been learned by Tang Nian, and the rest is personal accumulation.
Nowadays, Yang Hong, who likes martial arts the most, is reluctant to communicate with Tang Nian about martial arts, because Tang Nian has spent half a year, and he has far surpassed him in some aspects, you must know that it took him several years to figure it out......
Other people, except for Zhang Lan's changeable temperament and Guo Hongjun's prop skills, Tang Nian couldn't learn it, and even Li Xiang's skills were learned by Tang Nian.
Of course, Tang Nian's skills are just a showmanship, and it's okay to make a gesture, let him really fight against Li Xiang, and people will directly make him kneel with a whip leg......
There is no way to do this, although Tang Nian has experienced some good character experience in the strange dream, his real body is really weak, and he has also missed the best age to practice martial arts, and it is also commendable to be able to complete the corresponding martial arts movements.
As a result, in the Tang Year when everything was stopped, only the training of physical fitness improvement was still going on day after day.
Acting is a manual work, which lasted for half a year in the Tang Dynasty, and it was the most profound thing in the experience of extras, and it was also a point of view that he agreed with the most.
"Jingle Bell ......"
As soon as he finished running back and forth for three units, Tang Nian was about to stretch his muscles and bones on the spot for a while, when the mobile phone on his arm rang.
"Xiao Tang, hurry back, something's wrong!"
"Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"
"Someone came to the door and wanted to ask you to be the leading actor and act in a TV series!" Lao Liu's voice on the phone was full of excitement.
"What? Please let me act in a TV series and be the leading actor? Wrong! How did he find me? ”
Tang Nian's first reaction was a jump in his heart, full of vigilance, without a trace of joy, this thing was too unexpected, he didn't believe that his strange dreams could affect people in reality, so that they came to him desperately.
After being tossed back and forth by strange dreams for seven or eight months, the only thing Tang Nian can be sure of is that this strange dream does have a certain degree of foresight.
For example, if Strange Dreams has recently repeatedly cycled the experiences of some characters with distinct careers, then these Strange Dreams will indeed have a trace of connection with the roles that Tang Nian may encounter in the future.
For example, in "Meng Jiangnu", Tang Nian plays a tragic character who has a broken family, is displaced, and has a tragic life. So before this, Tang Nian's strange dreams for nearly 20 days were all beggars, thieves, and fugitives, and the closer to the filming of "Meng Jiangnu", the experience of the characters in the strange dreams will become clearer and clearer, and more and more concentrated in the category of beggar fugitives, and after Tang Nian successfully played Zhang An, strange dreams such as beggar fugitives will completely disappear and never appear again!
And the above are also what he figured out after Tang Cheng, when the strange dream struck again.
Around a month after the release of "Meng Jiangnu", the chaotic and strange dreams of the Tang Dynasty for nearly three months were almost all over the experiences of the characters in various TV series and movies at this stage, and the realism was as clear as ever. In the past half month, the frequency of strange dreams at night in the Tang Dynasty has become higher and higher, and there can be seven or eight strange dreams tossed back and forth in one night, and the characters experienced in these strange dreams, from the emperor and immortals, to the anti-thieves and knights, the span is really unpredictable.
With such a complex number of characters, it doesn't seem like a preview of the characters that Tang Nian may encounter in the future.
Just imagine, today's TV dramas and movies are all played by one actor in one role, at most one person plays two roles, and it is the kind of amnesia or twins or the like, and the temperament is just the opposite.
Of course, if you are like the actor of Sha Seng in "Journey to the West", because of the lack of actors, he temporarily makes cameo appearances in some role roles with few scenes, and covers them with costumes, then it is okay. If it is said that in a TV series, an actor plays more than three roles, and all of them are starring, either the producer is crazy or the actor is crazy; Because of this arrangement, under normal circumstances, the actors can't control it at all, and the audience is easy to get confused and jump the scene.
Not only that, when such a film is filmed, it can't be sold, not to mention, the characters played by the actors fight each other in the ring, and none of them can play well......
"Hello? Xiao Tang, don't worry about it so much first, people want to ask you to play by name, you come back first! On the other end of the phone, Lao Liu couldn't hear Tang Nian's answer for a long time, and he was a little anxious.
"Oh?! Okay, I'll go back! ”
Hanging up the phone, Tang Nian went straight to the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop.
……
"Tang Nian, hello! My name is Bai Yiji, this is my business card."
When Tang Nian changed his clothes and came to the hall on the first floor, the nine people of the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop had already sat down, and a middle-aged man with white beard, thin face, a pair of half-rimmed glasses, and a casual suit handed over a business card.
"Chief Producer of Tencent Pictures, Editor-in-Chief of Tencent Video Original Channel, Bai Yiji?"
Putting down the business card, Tang Nian's eyes were even more confused.
is completely different from what he imagined, this is not a pure showbiz person, but an operator who focuses on Internet film and television originals, where did such a person get his news?
"Hehe, Tang Nian, before you, I have already had a certain degree of contact with all of you here, I have to say, Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop is a very good place!"
Bai Yi pushed the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose and sighed.
In the process of waiting for Tang Nian, he communicated with Lao Liu, the person in charge of the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop, and found very keenly that the operation mode of the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop was what he valued most as a senior executive of Tencent Video Website.
This studio, unlike the studio in the entertainment industry, is like an exchange association similar to the development of entertainers, and its core personnel are independent and interrelated, which is the core structure of this studio. The contracted artists are similar to ordinary members of Tencent Video, and the performing arts workshop is responsible for finding jobs for the contracted artists, so as to siphon away forty percent of the artist's remuneration as a fee...... Only with the unanimous consent of the core personnel can they be promoted to the core position, no longer subordinate personnel, but shareholders, there is no sell-out agreement, let alone overlord clauses, there is only one constraint, that is, if you want to withdraw, you must be unanimously agreed by other shareholders, and you need to propose to fill in the personnel to maintain the stable operation of the performing arts workshop.
As a producer of Tencent Pictures and the editor-in-chief of Tencent Video Original Channel, Bai Yiji has encountered many studios, whose structure is the same, basically operating around a core staff, and studios of two or three people often last less than two years before being completely disbanded.
From his point of view, he naturally wants to sign someone as an artist under the company, but the company is also willing to accept the better studios to form a win-win situation for each other.
After understanding the operation mode of this Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop, Bai Yiji thought about it, and wanted to incorporate this studio into Tencent Pictures, at least a studio affiliated to Tencent Pictures, which would be the best thing.
Because Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop is located in Hengdu Film and Television City, a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it is easy to find newcomers with acting talents, such as Tang Nian, with this channel that continuously delivers performing arts talents to Tencent Pictures, the newly established Tencent Video Original Channel will have better development. After all, for actors who are already well-known in the entertainment industry, online TV series are a bit out of reach, compared with TV series broadcast by TV stations, it often means that they are cheap, shoddy, make less money, have a poor impact, and enhance their fame is very weak......
Under normal circumstances, newcomer actors from professional classes are reluctant to appear in online dramas, they have senior brothers and sisters in the circle, so they can naturally get promoted.
As long as they get the opportunity to star in a TV series, they often do not hesitate to give up the online series, and in the years to come, they will never mention that they have starred in the online series.
Although this kind of atmosphere and phenomenon of discriminating against online dramas from the root has changed in the past two years, the general trend is that actors are piling up in regular TV dramas.
Of course, if you spend a lot of money, as an actor, you are still willing to bow your head.
But in this case, investors and producers are often very confident in the works in their hands, are not afraid of messing up, and can even rely on the fame of a certain actor to sell back to the TV station and make him a lot of money.
If there is a script in hand, it is a new genre, and the risk is very high, then it is naturally better to test the waters with newcomers.
After the online series is launched, the response is average, and it will not lose too much; In case the launch is popular, it is natural to press the newcomer, come to three seasons and five seasons, create a popular IP, and then sell back to the TV station, and make a lot of money!
Now, Bai Yijiao has such a script in his hand, the risk is not small, if you want to reduce the risk, you can only use a large number of newcomers, but he can't look down on ordinary newcomers, and he has contacted no less than 20 newcomer actors before and after, until he noticed the information about Tang Nian on the Internet, and his eyes lit up, like a treasure. Then, Bai Yizhu took Tang Nian's information in his hands through his own channels, and after watching Tang Nian's performance in "Meng Jiangnu" from beginning to end, Bai Yizhen finally made up his mind.
This script belongs to Tang Nian, only Tang Nian's outstanding acting skills can minimize the risk of filming this script!
"White ...... Mr. Bai, take the liberty of asking, how did you find me? I think you should be able to understand my situation, and it is not a wise choice to contact me at this time! ”
Since the emaciated middle-aged man in front of him can find here, then he has his own channels in the entertainment industry, and he must be able to inquire about Tang Nian's situation, Tang Nian is curious now why he was asked to star, which involves a lot.
"Hehe, Don...... Xiao Tang, let me call you that, you have seen my business card, you should know that I am not a pure showbiz person, backed by a big tree like Tencent, and has a deep relationship with the national cultural department...... Let me tell you this, over the years, there have been many newcomer idols who have returned from South Korea, and their popularity is so high that they can often respond to a hundred calls and thousands of people shouting wildly...... But this phenomenon is precisely a cancer for a mature showbiz and entertainment market! Because the life cycle of this type of idol is too short, it will only create some temporary false prosperity, and the adverse impact on new actors in the entertainment industry is getting bigger and bigger......
"There is no healthy growth in the entertainment industry, the older generation of powerful actors is gradually fading out, the new generation of actors is not famous, and the younger newcomer actors are impetuous, none of them are up to the task, this trend of entertainer fault is already obvious. The Korean Wave, Japanese comics, and North American Hollywood blockbusters have caused a shocking encroachment on Chinese culture, which is a very bad sign for a big country like China. In this case, the national cultural department has naturally taken countermeasures, on the one hand, it is to tighten the way for Hallyu, Japanese comics, and Hollywood blockbusters to come in, and on the other hand, it is to support several large video websites as a screening test field for new actors, and cultivate an echelon of actors to resist the erosion of foreign culture! ”
"This is also the fundamental reason why in the past two years, major video websites have launched original channels and engaged in self-made online dramas, which is a national cultural strategy!"
"You don't have to wonder, why am I telling you these inside stories that ordinary people don't know, because after you starred in "Meng Jiangnu", your personal information has been put on the attention list of the Ministry of Culture. It's amazing that you, an unknown newcomer who had been engaged in a job that had nothing to do with the show business, were able to fully bring out your acting talent with a movie. This also shows the fact that there is no shortage of newcomers who love acting in the entertainment industry, they just lack an opportunity to stand in front of the camera and show themselves. You, on the other hand, were the trigger and inducement for the Ministry of Culture to make this decision......"
Bai Yizhu told Lao Liu and the others the information that ordinary people couldn't grasp, and looked at their somewhat sluggish expressions, very satisfied.
