Chapter 19: Casting
Although the naming fee of 'Dream Girl' did not make waves in the entire entertainment industry, the news spread all over Blizzard TV. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe 50 million exclusive naming fee is the largest amount of money received by Blizzard TV since its establishment.
While everyone was talking about this matter, Jiang Ming quietly completed the formation of the 'Chinese on the tip of the tongue and was selecting candidates for each role.
Before Jiang Ming's crossing, the broadcast mode of Chinese TV dramas was different from that of many other countries, which was always broadcast after filming, and many other countries broadcast while filming. Both of these production methods have their own advantages, but China can only choose the first one, naturally because of the inspection from above, the layers of links are stuck, and it is too late in time to broadcast while producing. The funny thing is that it is not too late to produce the TV series, but too late to review.
After the production is completed, there will naturally be more production time before broadcasting, and as the saying goes, slow work makes good work, and there is a reason. In particular, it is difficult to shoot and broadcast large-budget TV dramas and TV dramas that require a lot of special effects shots. As for the sales of finished products, on the one hand, it depends on the fame of the directors and actors of the TV series, and on the other hand, it depends on the vision of the people responsible for purchasing TV series at the TV station. As long as it is sold, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with the crew, no matter whether the ratings are high or low, you have to deal with it yourself.
As for the model of filming and broadcasting foreign TV dramas, there are occasional broadcast accidents such as not having time to broadcast, but because it is a joint venture model between the crew and the TV station, the risk is borne by both parties, and naturally neither side dares to drop the chain. Moreover, the method of filming and broadcasting also brings the survival of the fittest to the extreme, and works with poor ratings often end hastily, and many TV drama scripts are written to twenty or thirty episodes, but in the end, they are not even ten episodes. As for works with excellent ratings, there are naturally different treatments, and it is common to increase episodes. At this time, it is often the screenwriter who suffers, but it is also painful and happy.
In this way of filming, the crews that can often survive are absolutely hard enough, after all, an accident can make a crew disband directly.
Many of China's famous works are adapted from novels, comics and other themes, because the work itself is excellent, and the works are naturally good. But the profession of screenwriter is rarely valued, and even some people can get on the throne by plagiarism. There are also some screenwriters who no matter what work they adapt, when they are filmed, they have a strong taste of idol dramas, purely adding the plot to the blood. The high quality of Korean idol dramas is due to the excellent screenwriters on the one hand, and the actors on the other hand. South Korea has a very clear distinction between idols and actors, but not everyone can step into the circle of actors, and they can't get along in the entertainment industry with just one face.
Jiang Ming, as the screenwriter and investor of this drama, is naturally qualified to participate in the casting, whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, as long as the strength is not enough, no matter how famous he is, he will not put people in, at most he will send a supporting role with a few lines. Although the actor's fame can help promote a drama and even get a good rating, the signboard is about to be smashed in his hands. In the future, when others see the TV series in which Jiang Ming participates, I am afraid that their first impression will be a bad drama.
Fans are naturally happy to see idols appear in TV series, but those who really want to watch the drama are afraid that they will be dissatisfied, and even want to fast forward as soon as the person's shot appears, and naturally give up the TV series over time.
Since the barrage function has been introduced, there have been many fans and audiences. The audience clocked a barrage to complain about the poor acting skills of celebrities, and fans are not vegetarians.
"My idol is acting for the first time, isn't it normal to be bad at acting, his job is a singer."
"Who said that he didn't act well, you have the ability to play one yourself!"
"I know that if you talk cool things here, and you don't take a mirror to look at yourself, it will definitely be disgusting to appear on TV."
If this is the case, there will be no professions such as film critics and gourmets.
"You guy hasn't made a movie before, and you know all day long that other people's works are not good here and there, and you have the ability to make one yourself."
"You guy can't even have a kitchen knife, and you're still here to comment that the dishes I make are unpalatable, and you have the ability to make one yourself and show me!"
Such fans are often brainless fans, and while they can't see their idols receiving a little bad reviews, they are desperately belittling others and elevating the status of their idols. They often dislike the food in this restaurant is not delicious, the clothes are not good-looking, but there is no pressure at all when it comes to others.
In short, it is a sentence, only look at strength, not popularity, this is Jiang Ming's casting standard.
The male protagonist of the story has been determined, it is Jiang Ming's British friend, Toms. As an Asian-British mixed-race, as well as good acting skills, he fully meets the standards of the leading actor.
Today's casting is actually the company's internal welfare, and if there are suitable roles, they will naturally be given priority to the artists in the company, and only the remaining roles will be announced for casting.
Because Jiang Ming's requirements are very high, after choosing a group of supporting roles, except for Toms, the male lead, that is, Zhang Yan, the second female lead, has determined the candidate. As for Zhou Ping and Zhou Zhe, there are no suitable candidates for the sisters and brothers. The people in the company are either substandard in acting, or they don't match the role itself. There is no way, so I leave the task of casting to the director, who often deals with other companies and is a good hand at selecting people.
