Chapter 338: Superstar

"Alright, this is where you will be for the next three months." A receptionist opened the door, led Zheng Si and his party into the house, and said.

This person was sent by Yang Yi, and Yang Yi had already arranged the residence, with three bedrooms and one living room, which was enough to arrange the people brought by Zheng Sihe and others.

"What else do you need?" The man asked.

Charlie took a look around, especially the room arranged for Zheng Si, as an "assistant", after serving for several years, Charlie already knows Zheng Si's preferences very well, and you can see whether it is suitable or not at a glance. Obviously, Yang Yi still values Zheng Si very much, and the layout of the room makes Charlie very satisfied.

When arranging the house, Yang Yi asked Charlie and Jiao's father about them, and naturally there were no things that Zheng Si hated, such as hated food, certain smells, etc. The window sills are also newly equipped with protective nets to prevent accidents.

"Not yet." Charlie was satisfied.

"Okay, if you need anything, just call me." The man exchanged contact information with Charlie, and left after talking about the daily arrangements, and he had to report to Yang Yi and arrange follow-up matters. Even though he was very curious about the black cat, he still endured it, as one of Yang Yi's henchmen, he knew what to ask and what not to ask. It's okay to be curious, but you have to be measured.

In addition to Charlie, there are four other people who came with Zheng Si this time, not all of them came to "serve" Zheng Si, it was enough to have Charlie, they came over at the request of Yang Yi and Kong Han, some of them worked as lighting engineers in Xiao Guo's studio, and some worked as sound engineers. Either way, they are experienced in photographing cats, so they also have research on cat meows by knowing which lights affect the mood of cats and which sounds can interfere with cats when shooting.

In Zheng Si's opinion, a lot of this is redundant, but Yang Yi and Kong Han want to come over, and Xiao Guo personally sent a message to send it, Zheng Si doesn't care about it, anyway, he is not a person who pays salaries. Worry so much.

Even though the current profession is pet photography. But most of the people in Xiao Guo's studio are from professional backgrounds and know this industry very well.

The movie hasn't started yet, and several people are sitting on the sofa watching TV while discussing. Zheng Si occupies a sofa chair to himself. Listen to them chatting.

The city is on the sea. It's quite prosperous, I heard that it is Kong Han's hometown, and the choice of filming location here was decided by Kong Han, who is a screenwriter and director. A while ago, some people criticized the phenomenon of "screenwriter and director". Said that this would lead to a film that "has no depth and is low in creativity".

Actually, speaking of which, this script is really not innovative, some comics and novels have similar stalks, but Kong Han seems to have his own obsession, just like when Yang Yi made the documentary, only one opportunity can make them pick up this obsession in their hearts again.

I heard that Kong Han was also a cat breeder back then, and he has been raising them since he was a child.

Another man with a story.

Yang Yi arranged that the high floors of this community can see the sea, from the eighteenth floor to the twentieth floor were arranged by Yang Yi, Zheng sighed that they were on the twentieth floor, and the sea in the distance could be seen from the window of the living room.

Zheng Si looked at the window next to him, the sky outside the window was bluer than that of Chuhua City, obviously the environment and air quality here were much better than those of Chuhua City.

Charlie and those people were discussing the news of what they knew, and the actors of this movie had roughly decided, and when they were in the elevator just now, they saw a guy who was suspected of being a homo economicus, and they intuitively recognized it.

"Hey, you say, has Wei Wen arrived?" A man about Charlie's age asked expectantly.

When several gentlemen got together, the first thing they discussed was naturally women, and Wei Wen, as the starring role, was naturally one of the key points of their discussion, in addition to Wei Wen, they also discussed several supporting actresses.

"I didn't see Wei Wen, but when I went to park, I saw a girl who could cause an uproar ~ waves when she moved." The man who spoke also stretched out his hand and compared it to his chest, with a lewd face.

"Is it also from the crew?" The others asked, their eyes lit up.

The man shook his head, "It doesn't look like it." ”

The others immediately wilted, but soon cheered up to discuss the other actors.

As he spoke, the doorbell rang.

Charlie, who was closest to the door, went over to look at the door through the cat's eye and gestured to a few people on the couch. Several people glanced at each other and acted quickly, not at all the obscenity when discussing some topics that were inappropriate for children just now. There was no way, they had to be cautious, and if something went wrong, they would have to roll up and get out.

Before coming, Xiao Guo Ke told them that the crew was not their working group, nor was it the group that made the documentary at the beginning, there may be many small actions in it, and a cat can't guard against something, so they naturally have to deal with it. It's not that they maliciously speculate on people's hearts, people's hearts are unpredictable, it's always good to be cautious, and no one wants to do anything about building ladders for others and harming their own interests.

It was a woman who came in looking at her twenties, and women always made men less defensive. This woman is wearing a casual dress, her black hair is shoulder-length, although she is not outstanding, but when she laughs, her eyes are crooked, and she is very pleasing to look at.

"I'm sorry to disturb, I live downstairs, surnamed Yang, Yang Huaixi, Yixing Culture, are you also from the crew of "Black Cat"?"

The woman surnamed Yang introduced herself, she is the agent of several young actors downstairs, and she just came to visit the door. didn't talk much, chatted with Charlie and a few people before putting down the gift and leaving.

Closing the door, Charlie and the others began to discuss again.

"Do you still have a gift? It's still high-end tea! ”

"Inquire about the real thing, right?"

"The same surname as the big boss of Yixing......"

"I guess it doesn't matter, if you have a relationship, you still need to come to the door to investigate?"

"That's right."

"But it's better to be on guard, I think someone downstairs wants to take advantage of our black ...... ZT is in the early stages. ”

Zheng Si only listened to Charlie's discussion a little, the sofa chair was facing the window, and Yang Huaixi didn't see Zheng Si when he came in due to the angle problem. Zheng Si didn't care about those people either. What he was thinking about now was what Jiao's father instructed him when he left Chuhua City.

When filming the documentary, Jiao's father said that he couldn't be too "smart" and would "make mistakes", and making movies requires higher skills for "making mistakes", so Zheng Si is thinking about how to "make mistakes" naturally.

Compared with Zheng Si, who was leisurely pondering how to go wrong, the protagonists and supporting actors who participated in the show were much more nervous, especially the newcomers who were selected this time, for fear that something would go wrong when the time came. A single mistake can make a bad impression of the director and the big boss.

Of course. Friendship with the crew, especially some more important characters, is also of great benefit to those young actors, otherwise Yang Huaixi would not come up to inquire about the situation.

When we test each other on the side of the temporary residence. The other side. Yang Yi listened to the report of his subordinates. I was chatting with Kong Han.

Although Kong Han has not made many films, the response is not bad, but he is young. In China, I didn't work hard to make a satisfactory reputation. Kong Han likes to use newcomers, this time the protagonist of the film is not a real big name, the so-called popular students in the circle Many people in the circle sound just laughing, short-lived, not to mention that they are still famous by taking the idol route, and several important supporting roles are characters whose names people have never heard of, and there are a few new signings. Of course, most of them are still owned by Yixing Culture.

Yang Yi is rich, and he spends money to invest in his own people, and others will not say anything. As for who will really be praised at that time, it depends on their performance. In this drama, there is no superstar, Yang Yi, the big boss of Yixing Culture, came to the scene to watch the filming, what does this mean, the actors of Yixing know it in their hearts, so they are nervous.

Kong Han and Yang Yi are both high-standard people. Kong Han felt that the computer stunts in the film compensated for the actors' powerlessness in certain difficult or dangerous movements, but they never performed the unique and charismatic expressions of the actors. Many famous actors often rely on a smile and a look to achieve the realm of fascination and make people remember it. Therefore, Kong Han has always felt that using real cats in this film would be more effective with less computer special effects.

And Yang Yi, his focus is not on this film, unlike the documentary that really spends his heart and soul on his feelings, the upcoming film is just a channel, and it is an opportunity for him to provide his actors with performance.

Yixing Culture is not as good as those entertainment giants with some history, so Yang Yi wants to create stars and create his own superstars belonging to Yixing Culture.

At the top of the professional actor pyramid are a very rare number of superstar-level actors.

There are many stars from all walks of life in China, but the number of real movie stars is very small, and there are very few superstars who can bring investment trust and box office returns. In the domestic film market, the number of real superstars who can attract audiences into the cinema is extremely rare, only about ten men and women, and this is still the overall lineup of the Chinese film market formed after integrating the resources of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places. Other actors, although their fame seems to be hot, in fact, they can't be a guarantee of the box office, which contains many names that are familiar to the audience.

At the moment, the value of superstars is more reflected in investment issues. When a film can have a truly luxurious cast, the investment problem is immediately solved. When a movie has a group of big stars, the future box office can be expected, and investors will calmly invest huge sums of money, not only to pay the actors' salaries, but also to use scenes, stunts, equipment and other aspects. Therefore, when a commercial film tries to obtain some innovative possibilities in creation, it must be escorted by these big stars - for directors, this is often a very helpless reality, Kong Han is a minority in the director's circle, but it is impossible to say in the future, this is the rule of this commercial era.

Superstar can make Yixing culture truly rise in this circle.

Once, during the filming of "City. Person. Cat", Yang Yi thought about making Zheng Si a superstar, sometimes, as long as it is operated properly, animals are easier to attract the box office than people, and there is no proof now that it cannot be in the future. It's a pity that his wish was not fulfilled, and the clues can be seen from the reaction of the Jiao family during the documentary, and when he signed the contract for the film this time, he directly dispelled Yang Yi's idea.

"So, you want to watch those seedlings play?" Kong Han looked at the person across the table.

Yang Yi smiled and said jokingly: "Actually, I'm looking forward to watching the seedlings play with a cat." Don't think that the cat will only do what it is asked to do. ”

It's just that Yang Yi estimated that the cat was probably going to hide clumsy. (To be continued......)
