After going home in the evening, Gu Wu thought about it and decided to call Zhang Xiao about Huang Jingran. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, she can understand Huang Jingran and Zhang Xiao.

She has watched Huang Jingran's drama, if you want to say that acting skills can only be used in idol dramas just now, but when you put it in other directors with higher requirements, it is not enough to watch at all.

At such a level, can Zhang Xiao not know?

He also did Huang Jingran in the same way as an ordinary idol star, taking advantage of the popularity of his youth, he took on TV series and advertisements at a high price, and in a few years, he could earn all the living expenses for the rest of his life.

When you get old and don't want to be mixed, taking the money to do some business or opening your own company as the boss and signing a newcomer is a good way out, and it is also the way out for most of the popular stars in this industry.

If he wants to change, it can only be to reduce the number of idol dramas that pay high salaries, and play those dramas that don't give much money and have few scenes, but have a good team.

This kind of big director is made up of his own set of royal teams, and in addition to finding a few first-line celebrities to star, many important supporting roles are actors they are familiar with.

It's hard to get in, and if no one introduces him, Huang Jingran won't use it even if he is popular.

It's not that the director doesn't like to use popular stars, but that there are many stars with fans, and they don't say much about the help of those directors, and they are afraid that the quality of the whole movie will be affected because of their personal performance. 、

It is impossible to support the box office with many fans, and now Yang Zhengming, who is recognized as the most popular student, has only raised more than one million yuan for his fans.

A million can do a lot of things, and it's not a small number in life. But a million in the film market is a ripple that can't make a splash, and you can't hear a sound when you smash it.

Because of this, the role of fans is not to use it at the box office, but to help promote the movie.

But Huang Jingran's time to be popular is too short, his fans are far inferior to Yang Zhengming in terms of number and maturity, and with his personal performance, it is really not surprising that Zhang Xiao takes him as a short-term investment.

But in the afternoon, people took the initiative to find Gu Ao, and from his eyes, Gu Auntie could see that this kid really wanted to take acting as a lifelong career. Looking at his eyes, Gu Yu not only remembered herself in her previous life, but also asked her friends everywhere if she could introduce opportunities to her.

This feeling is very bad, Gu Wu's heart instantly softened as soon as she met his eyes, she was willing to give him a chance, no one had the right to say that he couldn't do it if she didn't try.

The phone call with Zhang Xiao lasted almost an hour, and at this time Gu Xiao realized that Zhang Xiao did have his personal insistence.

"Gu Wan, Huang Jingran is different from you. You have your own aura in acting, the kind of aura that is transparent at a point. But Huang Jingran is not. I know that he works hard, I know that he wants to transform, and I know that he wants to make acting a lifelong career. But we all know that this industry is more about God's food, and talent is more important than hard work. I've been taking him for more than a year, and every time he acts, I see it in my eyes, if he really has potential, do you think I'll stop him for money?

I admit that I took him over mainly because he has many fans, and this kind of popular idol is the best goal to make quick money. But people have feelings, and after getting along, I certainly know his performance, his personality and hard work. I didn't mention it mainly because I was afraid that he would be disappointed. Have you thought about it, if he fails in transformation and is out of breath, what will happen to his future? “

Subsequently, Zhang Xiao said a lot, Gu Wu has cooperated with him for so many years, and it is only from this time that he really understands what the three of them look like in the eyes of this agent.

"You're the least of my worries. Every filming is a masterpiece that has both word-of-mouth and box office, and the director's luck is particularly good, and many big directors are willing to cooperate with you. Aside from the handicap for winning prizes, you're almost perfect in your career.

Li Ye: I don't worry about it. He is the oldest of the three of you, although he is not a big celebrity who can shoot dramas and TV stations, and his work is endless. As long as he doesn't make big news, it's no problem to shoot until fifty.

Huang Jingran does have the will to move upward, but his personal performance is completely out of his own vision. If he wants to transform, he must be very careful about taking on the drama, he can't take on idol dramas, he can't take unreliable teams, and even the setting of the characters and the theme of the film must be taken into account. Too few scenes will not help him much, where is it so easy to get a good role with enough scenes? If the transformation fails, he has also passed the most popular years, what awaits him, do you understand? “

Zhang Xiao's worried Gu Wu could fully understand, and suddenly he turned his head and saw the script on the coffee table, and said: "Xu Jia handed me a script, it's a literary film I'm not interested in and I'm going to push it." But there is another character in it that is very good, introduce it to Huang Jingran, right? I'll go talk to Xu Jia. ”

Zhang Xiao was stunned: "Is that the drug dealer?" The drug dealer who is ready to kill the male protagonist and is forced to change his ways? ”

Gu Wu: "Yes, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Xiao thought for a while: "This character is indeed good, but can Xu Jia agree?" ”

Gu Wu smiled: "I have worked with him so many times, he won't give me an audition opportunity." is saying that although Huang Jingran lacks some acting skills, he also has his strengths. Although this kind of idol with a lot of fans and high popularity does not help much at the box office, their fans can be of great help in publicity. Besides, Xu Jia is also from a newcomer who has hit a wall everywhere, and he can understand Huang Jingran's mood. Moreover, Xu Jia is a director who is very involved in discovering the inner workings of actors, and I suffered a lot when filming him at that time. “

Hearing that Gu Wu was willing to pull the strings, Zhang Xiao naturally didn't want to speak again, "Then in that case, let him try, if it doesn't work, you don't care, it's all adults, who can control whose life?" ”

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jia made a phone call to Xu Jia, and after listening to Gu Jia's introduction, Xu Jia didn't say much, but only let Huang Jingran go to audition after reading the script.

After Huang Jingran received the call, his voice was a little tense with excitement, and after Gu Jingran sent the script over, Huang Jingran sincerely thanked Gu Wu.

Gu Wu shook her head with a smile and said, "I just did a small favor, this role is completely different from what you played before, and many people want to take it." It is not easy for Xu Jia to give you an opportunity this time, so you have to seize it. It's best to write a character biography after you go back, and think more about this character after reading the script, why did the director write this, and what did he want to express? It is best to dig out all of Xu Jia's previous works and study them carefully. A good director is able to convey to the audience the inner world he wants to express through his work. ”

Xu Jia, who has won two Best Director, has now jumped to the ranks of domestic first-line directors. Although Xu Jia made an art film this time, from the beginning of the project, he said that he would not be entangled in the box office of this movie, and only wanted to express what he wanted to express. But as a director who often wins awards, his every move has received a lot of attention.

If Huang Jingran can seize the opportunity to prove himself this time, another door will open to him, and the peers he contacts will completely change their type.

After that, Gu Wu didn't care anymore, because she also started to get busy at this time.

After the broadcast of "Such a Biography", the ratings were good, and more importantly, Gu Wu gained more than 2 million fans in just one month, which is simply her number last year.

This speed has greatly expanded her popularity, and even some fast-moving consumer products have begun to find Gu Wu to endorse.

Gu Wu's eyes widened in surprise when she looked at the manufacturer's offer, she touched her forehead and looked at Hou Fuxiu and said with a smile: "No wonder everyone is willing to be popular, a merchant who sells soap came to me and wanted me to endorse them, and the price offered was three times that of the previous watch manufacturer." I watched the commercial, and it only took half a day to shoot it. No wonder people want to be popular, as long as it is red, the money is as if it is on the ground. ”

Without waiting for Fu Xiu to react, Gu Wu continued: "Do you know? There's also a more convenient way to make money, and you don't even have to shoot ads at all. As long as I type a few words on Weibo to help the business publicize, hundreds of thousands of income will be in hand. More than 20 words plus two photos, hundreds of thousands! ”

Hou Fuxiu glanced at her: "You took it?" ”

Gu Wu shook her head: "Of course not." I finally received advertisements for high-end luxury products, and I was indiscriminately accepting this kind of promotion, which is simply self-worth murder. But I now understand what Zhang Xiao said about making quick money. Think about it, if I can be popular for five years, whoever has a higher salary in these five years, I will take on whose plays, and whoever has a high salary, I will advertise to whom, just talk about money and not word of mouth. I calculated that in five years, I would be able to earn all the money for the rest of my life. If you are not popular, you will quit the entertainment industry, and you have money and leisure to live a retirement life in advance. It's actually good to think about it that way. ”

Hou Fuxiu smiled: "You can do the same." ”

Gu Wu pursed her lips and shook her head: "Forget it, I can't be idle." The success of my career has brought me more than just financial satisfaction. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I chatted with Shen Yucheng for a long time yesterday, and I think his movie is good and you can take it. ”

Hou Fuxiu: "What is it?" ”

Gu said: "It is about an urban female white-collar worker who has a series of things after suffering from terminal cancer. I just read the script, and it's written with some flesh, and the idea is not just feelings, but more about the state of people when they are facing life and death. “

Hou Fuxiu turned his head sideways and said, "That's good, you haven't made this kind of movie yet." “

Gu Wan rubbed her face and whispered: "Yes, I just want to take it because I haven't filmed it, this drama is a typical commercial film." But the problem is that the movie almost all revolves around the heroine alone. After its release, it was equivalent to a movie at the box office of my independent monoclonal antibody. Although "Looking for People" is also the only protagonist of this kind, "Looking for People" is a literary film, and everyone's box office requirements for literary films are far lower than those of commercial films. And I don't know if those fans will accept my transformation after I shoot it. ”

Hou Fuxiu rubbed Gu Wu's head and said with a smile: "You also think too much, there are many factors that determine the box office of a movie, and actors are only part of it." Of course, good movie actors do help the box office, but definitely not as much as you think. The audience sees more of the subject matter, publicity, and even the word-of-mouth afterward. Even if some viewers don't know the actors, as long as the reputation is good, they will go back to watch it. Shen Yucheng's director's movies have always been only guaranteed, and when the time comes, the money will be spent on publicity and distribution, even if the cast is weaker, as long as the word of mouth goes up at the box office, it can go in the long run. ”

His words thought to be a needle for fixing the sea, and after hearing it, Gu Wu made up her mind. She called Shen Yucheng that night, and Gu Yu went to sign the contract early the next morning.

Walking out of the building with Zhang Xiao, Gu Wu smiled and said: "Huang Jingran is transforming, why shouldn't I?" It's just that he wants to go in the direction of long-term and more word-of-mouth, while I want to go more business. In fact, art is not that it cannot be high and low, but as a movie star who needs the attention of the audience, paying too much attention to artistry has also deviated from my original intention. ”

Zhang Xiao looked around a little nervously, now Gu Wu's TV series "Such a Biography" has just finished broadcasting and is also the most popular moment in her career, the probability of being recognized on the street is too great, two days ago she went to the supermarket with a mask to buy a bottle of yogurt and was blocked at the door by the enthusiastic onlookers, and she was almost squeezed to death.

With the experience of the previous car, now Gu Wu is very nervous when she walks on the street, Gu Xiao also knows that this is not the place to talk, so she lowered her hat to cover her face and walked quickly to the car listening downstairs.

After sitting up, Gu Wu let out a breath and said: "This person is popular, and people are not free, it used to be normal for me to go out with a mask to eat noodles, but now I can only order takeout." ”

Zhang Xiao also quickly climbed up, closed the door and said: "You have just finished broadcasting the TV series now, of course, there are viewers who remember, who will pay attention to you when you go to the street in half a year?" ”

Gu Wu glanced at him: "You are too unsentimental to speak, although the audience of the movie is narrow, there are really many people who know me." ”

Zhang Xiao waved his hand: "It's not comparable to a TV series." ”

Gu Wu picked up the contract and flipped through it and asked: "I've got it done here, I have already sent him the script from Huang Jingran's side, and the script I got is basically a finished draft." Much better than those who only get a few pages. This is very helpful for him to figure out the characters. ”

Zhang Xiao looked at his watch and said with a smile: "He has been looking for a teacher to practice these days, getting up at six o'clock every day to practice his lines." It seems that he really wants to transform. After speaking, Zhang Xiao slapped his thigh and scolded with a smile: "You said that I don't love money one or two, and I am like a villain who loves money like life." ”

Gu Wu looked at him and asked, "Are you still in financial difficulties now?" ”

Zhang Xiao shook his head: "That's not true, so to be honest, Huang Jingran did help me make a lot of money." But who is afraid of having a lot of money? I am old and young, and I earn more and feel more secure. ”

Gu Wu knew that Zhang Xiao had an older sister who passed away at a young age, leaving behind a three-year-old daughter. His brother-in-law is a cold-blooded person, and after remarriage, he ignored his daughter, and Zhang Xiao's mother really couldn't look at it and took the child back to take it herself. The other party didn't say a word as if he had lost a big burden, and now the child has been at home for three years, and the other party has not called to ask.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Xiao also knew that the other party didn't want this daughter at all, and looking at his young niece and elderly parents, he could only rely on him to support him.
