Chapter 176: Starlight Project

However, Adu is not such a director who is used to being controlled by actors, on the contrary, according to each of Adu's films, actors are basically used as props in his works, and they are absolutely not allowed to dominate. At that time, Wu Zhenyu's performance was too "channeling", so the two quarreled and vowed never to cooperate with each other again in the future. Unexpectedly, Wu Zhenyu later won the Golden Horse actor with this film.

Has he reached the level of acting skills that forced the director to change? No way! He still has this self-knowledge. After pondering for a moment, he thought that this might be solvable, and looked at Chen Kexin, who was looking at him, and said with a smile: "The key to this film is love, on the one hand, there is a crazy search, and on the other hand, there is extreme longing. I think it's okay if you can use a relatively contrasting approach when dealing with the other line! ”

Chen Kexin thought about it silently, and then realized that Xiao Ran was not only an actor, not only a boss, but also a director. And he is also one of the best directors in Hong Kong, although if he calls Xiao Ran with such a title, Xiao Ran is ironclad ashamed, but everyone's opinion is true.

After some exchanges, the filming of the film resumed its original schedule. Xiao Ran has always been very interested in Luo Lan, and this time he was able to play the opponent's role, and he felt even more happy. This night, because Lin Qingxia didn't have her own play, she didn't have to come.

But she still came, bringing soup to Xiao Ran. greeted Xiao Ran and Chen Kexin, and Xiao Ran called Luo Lan, who was not very familiar: "Sister Luo, go drink some soup!" ”

Luo Lan was very beautiful when she was young, and when Xiao Ran saw the photo of Luo Lan when she was young, she couldn't even believe that it was the famous ghost woman. However, it seems that those who are old and don't have much maintenance are like this. Wu Mengda is like this, don't think that Wu Mengda's appearance is natural, before the eighties, he used to be very handsome or a young student, and Zhang Guorong played tricks in a romance film starring him.

It's a pity that Wu Mengda was addicted to gambling when he was young, and as a result, he lost so much that he didn't want to pay attention to him. When he was most hesitant and helpless, fortunately, he thought of this super green leaf before the filming of "The Saint of Gambling" and asked him to play the role of the third uncle, which was a comeback this time. It's a pity that Hong Kong films have fallen in history, and even such an outstanding actor has to go to the mainland to act in TV series, desolate and desolate with funny methods without Zhou Xingchi.

Wu Mengda is a good actor! In Xiao Ran's impression, he also won the best supporting actor once with "Heavenly Love". However, Xiao Ran has always felt that Uncle Da's father who played in Li Ming and Wu Qianlian's "Urban Love" should also win the award. It was a good film, but unfortunately it was buried.

"Sister Luo Lan, which company are you working with now?" After drinking the soup, Xiao Ran took Lin Qingxia's hand and asked Luo Lan: "Play this role well, believe me, as long as this film is successful, you are likely to have a lot of film appointments at once!" ”

Luo Lan looked at this young rich man and couldn't help laughing, she felt that Xiao Ran was an interesting young man. It's really interesting to have so much money and come to act. She obviously didn't believe Xiao Ran's words: "Where did you get so many pieces of appointments, they are just eating a mouthful!" ”

"What? Is it possible that the brokerage company is withholding you? The Phantom pays a lot! Xiao Ran frowned, the supporting actors usually contact a company, and if this company takes over the work of a large company, they will immediately start selecting suitable actors to send to auditions or something. Therefore, there are a number of girls who want to become stars who are deceived by such a company.

Of course, at present, there is no such bold company in Hong Kong that dares to mess around, because Xiao Ran strictly ordered that no one is allowed to destroy the reputation of the film industry. Luo Lan smiled and shook his hand again and again: "That's not true, it's just that in addition to the fact that the remuneration of your phantom is a little higher, the remuneration of Jiahe is much lower." ”

"It's Golden Harvest again!" Not only Xiao Ran frowned, but even Lin Qingxia frowned as if she had a heart in her heart. Lin Qingxia is very clear about what Xiao Ran wants to do, of course she knows Xiao Ran's intention to increase her salary, and Golden Harvest insists on refusing to increase the remuneration of behind-the-scenes staff and supporting roles and even dragon sets, which obviously causes a certain amount of confusion in the market.

Let it go! Xiao Ran can even assert that if Jiahe does not want to make progress like this, within three years, he will definitely die. Don't want Golden Harvest's assets to be as high as billions, of which financing and liabilities account for a considerable proportion, and Golden Harvest Entertainment Company is also listed, but later at the end of the nineties almost went bankrupt, but finally suspended. If Xiao Ran wants Jiahe to die, it will definitely not be a difficult thing.

Ignoring this matter for the time being, he just looked at Luo Lan and chuckled: "Don't worry, Phantom has invested in a lot of films, if you really act well and have your own characteristics, life is naturally indispensable to you!" ”

Seeing Luo Lan happily rehearsing the next scene, Xiao Ran moved his eyes to the smiling face, holding her hand gently and considerately, and his heart was warm. They are scheduled to get married on September 20, but Xiao Ran often has the idea of can't wait to marry his sweetheart home.

The filming progress of the film is not slow, the marketing department, the artist training department (that is, the agent department) and the security department have been separated, Wei Dongling is very busy, and the rest of Xiao Ran is also not limited. Because the other floors of the building were bought, it was much easier for the headquarters of the other subsidiaries to be located here. It's just that for many fans and movie fans, it's very lucky, because there are often staff members coming in and out here.

He now took the time to go to Tian Lai and hummed a few tunes from his memory. Soon some people were dumbfounded, although Xiao Ran provided a few songs last time, but it was obviously not as surprising as the current ones.

However, there are really not many Chinese songs worthy of attention in Xiao Ran's impression, and the main songs provided this time are English songs, those songs whose names he doesn't know, but whose melodies are absolutely beautiful. The rest of the work was left to the people of Tianlai, Xiao Ran was relaxed and happy, compared to Wei Dongling, he felt that he was in heaven.

Thinking back to the classic variety shows in his memory, Xiao Ran explained the award-winning people and my guess to the producer of ATV. The next thing is that ATV is still busy preparing and planning.

After such a busy period of time, the Taipan House has been rebuilt and renovated, and it will be ready to move in after a while. On the day of the housewarming, I invited a lot of people to a party. That's the end of everything, and something new is about to begin.

In June, Xiao Ran also came to this era for four years. lamenting that four years can make a kid who is so poor that he almost enters the underworld become a huge rich man in Hong Kong, he is personally planning a starlight plan.

This is an extremely large plan, ATV and Teana, as well as Phantom and the star (artist training department) that has been successfully spun off, as well as the participation of the renamed Miracle (marketing department), as well as scholarly media, and joint investment.

The plan is simple and simple, that is, to select the most talented, good-looking and characteristic artists from a group of artists, and make them popular as Asian superstars. This plan has been planned for a long time, and it is only now that a concrete plan has been come up.

If you want to successfully get the market in Southeast Asia and even Europe and the United States, super idols are indispensable, and the benefits driven by idols are absolutely huge. Regardless of anything else, as long as it succeeds, Sihai's loss in the sales of peripheral products such as dolls will definitely be able to change.

Idols are a key weapon to conquer any entertainment market, and the reason why Fa Ge's films can sell well in Southeast Asia is that in addition to Hong Kong films that are really popular and of good quality, the charm of idols is definitely quite important.

The Starlight Project was very sophisticated, and the Phantom had invested millions of dollars in this plan alone. Of course, this cost was later shared with ATV and Teana and Star Company. In terms of selection, in addition to film actors, they need to have at least three years of acting experience, while singers only need to have enough excellent skills and image, and program hosts also need to have enough experience, but there are not many requirements for TV drama actors.

If the selection is excluded, then the packaging of the star company is the first link. The stars will package the selected artists with the most suitable packaging for their own image, and they will be rigorously trained for this, and this training course was later called the hellish death special training by the lucky ones selected.

Although Xiao then always associated this with the special training in "The King of Destruction" and made him extremely depressed, it proved that the effect was absolutely excellent. When the star company has completed the training and extremely professional feature packaging, if it is an actor, then the Phantom will tailor a sensational drama for it. If it is a singer, then Tian Lai should concentrate on promotion. If it's a show host and a TV actor, the practice is similar.

In this process, the helper Shuxiang will play a role of facilitating the situation, giving as much space and content as possible. Miracle Company must create a marketing plan for each artist from the beginning that matches his surname and characteristics, and Sihai must also focus on building the image and product sales of these artists.

This is the Starlight Plan that has been secretly turned into a one-stop service by the executives of several major companies, and this one-stop service has really arrived at home. From selection to packaging to sales, as long as you can get on this chariot and become popular, it is a sure thing.

Jokes aside, even fools can see that this plan is huge. Moreover, this plan is not just a one-time execution, but a plan that is always present and perfect. In the first year, the Starlight Project selected 20 to 25 people, and each person needed to invest an average of 80 million, including movies and records. Of course, this only refers to investments, not pure losses.

There is no doubt that among them, movie actors and singers account for the largest proportion. In terms of movie actors, Zhou Yanfa, Liu Hua, and Liang Chaowei, who has just joined, have been decided, and only Feng Feier has been set for the time being.

Originally, Xiao Ran planned to include Li Jiaxin in it, but unfortunately she has not been trained, and if she wins the championship, she will need to do some publicity on behalf of Hong Kong for a full year. In terms of singers, there are currently the Beyond band, as well as Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang, as well as Liu Hua and Zhang Xueyou, plus sisters Shuanghua.

However, a few days later, Xiao Ran read the newspaper and immediately shouted badly. Because this plan was actually poked out by the newspaper, of course, the newspaper did not mention it in detail, but faintly pointed out that the phantom was planning to make some people popular.

This is really an irritating thing, and in the following time, Xiao Ran was entangled by everyone. I can't wait to cut my head to get into this list, but fortunately, the media doesn't know much.

In this regard, Xiao Ran was very helpless, and after a while, he finally finalized the above list. In addition, because he asked Zhong Chuhong whether he would continue to stay in the film industry, after getting a definite answer, Zhong Chuhong was also on the list. Su Renyao and Feng Fei'er are also on this list.

The only thing that made Xiao Ran depressed was that he had never been sure if Lin Qingxia was going to be among them. It stands to reason that Lin Qingxia doesn't need to take on the show anymore, but Xiao Ran can't bear to see her sweetheart become a vase at home. Besides, it's a pity that such a good actor is not used.

But Xiao Ran doesn't like it very much, there may not be any man who likes his wife to make love to other men on the screen. In this regard, Lin Qingxia just poked Xiao Ran's head and said angrily: "Nonsense, you have to dare them!" ”

Xiao Ran then woke up, damn, his Xiao Ran's wife, who dares to kiss him, unless he doesn't want to mix. However, as long as there are no nude scenes and intimate scenes, Xiao Ran doesn't care, after all, it is the idea of the 21st century, if you can't even accept the hug in the play, you will simply live in the 21st century in vain. Of course, don't even think about bed scenes, I believe no one will be so stupid.

A few days later, in ATV's general manager's office, Xiao Ran, who came to ATV in person, carefully browsed several planning reports. In fact, Xiao Ran, the super invincible award person, was not able to see the opening in the past few years, but only saw the back. At that time, he always felt that the people on the show were not very famous stars, but after reading this planning book, he realized that it was not so simple.

From ATV's point of view, this show is first and foremost a show to increase ratings, and secondly, it can promote its signed artists, or give some less famous stars some opportunities to appear. From this point of view, superstars like Zhou Runfa, or Liu Hua, who has become a hidden star, do not need to increase their popularity by participating in this show

Besides, a star like Zhou Runfa may not be able to play the game. As a result, those who often appear in the show are either ordinary stars or artists under the company. In this way, it can be regarded as a rational use of resources.

After browsing the show, Xiao Ran quickly nodded in agreement, but he still had a request for this show. raised his head and said to Zhu Guangli: "First of all, this program is for the whole of Hong Kong, and it is suitable for men, women and children. So, you have to pay attention to the content, you can play a little bit, but don't have pornography or anything like that! ”
