Chapter 185: The Troubles of Implementing Policies (II)
As a small director, under a large company, Shi Ce does not have much influence on the production process of a film. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
All he can do is put forward his own ideas and suggestions for the company's reference, and of course he still has a lot of rights when shooting on the set.
Especially in the choice of actors.
A small director like him does not have any decision-making power, and his identity as a director and screenwriter only has the right to suggest review, and the final decision is in the hands of the management.
After the previous audition, most of the actors he screened out based on their performance turned out to be backs, and the act of inviting auditions itself became a publicity hype in the circle. There is no practical point.
Now that the entertainment industry is developed, there are more and more people squeezing in, and the hearts and means of newcomers to get ahead are more intense than before, even if it is a small movie with a small director like Shi Ce, as long as you can get on the big screen, there are a lot of large and small brokerage companies, bringing their handsome guys and beautiful women to sell, and the various operating methods behind it have long been divided.
Of course, these transports are all for the main characters, and those secondary passers-by roles, there is no need to waste so many resources.
In addition to those well-known directors or lone directors, who can also use cheap and suitable actors for the sake of the quality of their works, a pure small commercial director like Shi Ce has to serve business and capital, and everything has to be said by the capital.
However, there is no shortage of spoof spirit in this world, and the most hanging things have happened.
If you want to act in the movie of a small director, as long as the operation behind the scenes is good, you can come, but those big directors have to go through a more rigorous selection and more use of resources to choose roles, so the question is, which is the main role here and the small supporting role in the big director's play?
A movie shows your face for more than 40 minutes, but the number of screens released is only two or three thousand, and the time is less than ten days or so, and they are all in third- and fourth-tier cities with relatively low spending power. Another movie may not even appear for ten minutes, or even less, but it will appear on 20,000 or 30,000 screens across the country, and it will be shown for about a month.
As long as this account is a normal IQ, people will calculate it and choose it.
The two of them got his role as an actress in this play through operation, and at the same time they were lucky to get the role of Director Chen Da's new play, so they didn't even hesitate, and the two of them directly said hello to Sorry and regretted and went to the crew of the director.
In the face of this situation, it is useless to be angry, I can only think of a way to remedy it, if this project is stopped like this, all the people in the crew will be tossed in vain for a long time, and for directors, producers, producers, etc., this matter will become a black hole in the resume, and I don't know how long I have to be dragged by this matter and can't progress.
The management is also ready to choose two people from which related households to fill the position, but after this incident, Shi Ce's voice has increased significantly, and he directly opposes it.
"If you give me a glass of water, I can shoot it into wine, you give me a brick, I can paint it into gold, but if you give me a piece of, I can only shoot it into a piece of." Shi Ce said.
"So you mean really from which auditions are you going to choose?" The producer asked rhetorically, no wonder he was a little reluctant, because now the company's grade and influence, coupled with the hot market, although the current market is not as blind as in the early years, it is still very profitable, and every time they open a play, they will attract a large number of people, either to do implantation, or to spend money to join the gang, and some even spend money to buy roles in order to cultivate their own artists.
In such a drama of investing 10 million or 20 million, in the end, he actually only contributed less than half of the money but could account for the lion's share, so as an investor, he did not exclude a certain post-transaction, and even some transactions directly saved him a lot of publicity costs and public relations for the theater.
If you want to choose a pure actor, then a lot of the cost is borne by the crew themselves.
For people who are used to eating extra money, it becomes unreasonable for you to let him eat only his own share.
"Yes, I think this guy is very good, it's just hard to play, and it matches the character." Shi Ce handed over the photo.
Looking at the photo, the producer was a little speechless and said, "You haven't watched the news recently?" This girl's worth is rising day by day, and we can't afford to hire it. “
"The value is, it doesn't matter, if she wants to make money, it's not better to make dollars directly at the current level of popularity, she should be waiting for a sincerity." Shi Ce said.
"10 million, 500,000, no matter how you compare, I don't think she has the possibility of coming."
"First of all, let's think about what benefits we can get if she comes, and the conditions we can pay." But he doesn't think about what might be impossible.
"The benefits? As long as she comes, with her current level of attention, our movie will be stained with light, at least a few A-level production publicity opportunities, and second, with her fan base, the audience attracted can directly improve the box office of our movie by several grades. The producer said: "Why do more and more stars dare to open a high box office now, a star who has only been in the early stages for a few years has no such works as long as he has enough popular fans, he dares to ask for a salary far higher than his grade, it is not the new media era, so that the stars have an unprecedentedly strong ability to gather and manage fans, just imagine that a person can directly promote tens of millions of people, as long as the movie is not too bad, the box office is indispensable." If the movie is smashed, it can also return a lot of money with the popularity of the star, so this is the reason why the more popular the celebrity, the higher the price, I don't think you can negotiate the price. “
"And what are the conditions we can come up with?" Shi Ce didn't control the filmmaker's gloomy worldview, and asked directly.
The producer of "Forehead ......" hesitated, the conditions could definitely be prescribed, but once the matter is concrete, the problem will become concrete. A question arises in the producer's heart, how many actors are popular and lively, but in terms of box office appeal, it is completely inconsistent with their popular situation, which is what makes old-school artists the most confident. As long as the publicity is in place, the famous artists can indeed support a movie, those veteran actors, who are usually not obvious, seem to have no sense of existence in the fan base, but as long as it is a big production of enough grade, these people are the masters, and the stable box office appeal they show directly crushes those little fresh meat that is popular for a while.
Therefore, although there are many behind-the-scenes operations in the entertainment industry, its essence is the same as that of all industries, focusing on personal management and hard power.
"And said I don't pay attention to the news, you look at this." Shi Ce puffed a cigarette in his mouth and called up an online drama from the tablet: "Look, this Taoist disciple has more than 10 million hits in three days, based on the production level and story setting of this drama, if she wants to make a movie version, I will recommend herself directly." ”
The tens of millions of clicks of a real work can be more stable than the data of tens of millions of fans. Because one can only speak with strength, and the other can be made with gimmicks. One fiction and one reality.
"In this way, how about we let her enter the game with a salary, I will discuss it with the boss, it should not be less than twenty percent." Said the producer.
"I'm adding one more, and I'm giving her all the roles of a female scientist and a female killer." Shi Ce said.
"Yes." The producer agreed after a little thought: "This is the only way to add drama to her without changing the roles of the male and female protagonists." ”
Ding Wei and Qiu Mulan, who do not have any connections and news channels in the film and television industry, did not know that the role had turned from one side to the other several times when they were still waiting for the news, and finally got the first opportunity to perform in the movie by inexplicable luck.
It's quite a bit of a general trend, but it can be ruled by the arch.
So the next day, Qiu Mulan received a strange phone call. The other party actually gave generous terms without her bargaining too much, which made her instantly experience Qin Yue's feeling at the beginning, will there be any traps in this!? (To be continued.) )
