Chapter 10 The Impossible Invitation
Walking in the cave is a very simple thing for artists, when a trapeze, singing a song, attending a corporate celebration or a party in a certain city can take away a lot of money, and sometimes even don't even have to sing a song, just stand on the stage and lip-sync. At the same time, walking to the cave is also the best way to test popularity, such as how many people will shout the artist's name on the scene, how many people will sing the artist's song, how many people will pick up the airport, etc., all represent the value of a person. This is also the reason why artists who are not very popular will look for professional audiences when they get a chance to go to the hole, they want to leave a good impression on the organizers, even if they throw in all the performance fees, as long as the atmosphere is made, maybe the organizers will look for him next time.
There are a lot of cats here, but Shao Yingying doesn't need these at all.
After a trip to Baiyun City, Shao Yingying saw his popularity in Baiyun City, the closest to Xiangjiang, although no one picked up the airport, but the hit of "Blade 1937" still made the audience shout when he sang, all of which came from the audience's heart, because they did not hold Shao Yingying's name like a professional audience, they just shouted at the scene: "District 14!! ”
"District 14 !!"
These people who like to listen to Shao Yingying's singing can't be called 'iron fans' or 'NC fans' at the moment, they just completely like the actor who plays District 14 because of the role of 'District 14', that's all.
After Shao Yingying finished singing, he felt from the performance of the audience that in addition to a hint of danger signal, it is very sad for an actor to be stereotyped, such as 'Xu Zheng' was once stereotyped as 'Zhu Bajie', Wang Baoqiang was stereotyped as 'Xu Sanduo', these two people have made various efforts for many years in order to get rid of this stereotype. The sadness of a new artist lies in this, once it is stereotyped by the audience, no matter what new drama you have, they will superimpose your current performance with the vision of the past, as long as you don't have a big breakthrough, then, an artist will easily lose the 'audience love' that he just got.
Fortunately, Shao Yingying still has a 'mansion gate' that has not been opened, so this kind of worry is just a thought that flashes through his mind, because he can't be limited to a range so simply.
After singing, Shao Yingying participated in the banquet held by the organizer, for a male artist, for this kind of social occasion, it is necessary to not refuse to come, and polite and greeting with the organizer has become the basic skill of male artists in the entertainment industry, otherwise why would people look for you? Female artists can rely on the eyes of a certain corporate leader - fan - fan - fan on stage, isn't male artist fighting for popularity, connections, these two things that will never be outdated?
Shao Yingying's performance at the banquet was not bad, no matter who came forward to talk, it could bring bursts of laughter, which made the whole scene appear a very special scene, Shao Yingying was obviously not the biggest singer sitting at the main table, but the atmosphere at their table was the best, and even the table next to him would be amused.
After completing the task of going to the cave in Baiyun City, Shao Yingying's account has increased to a certain extent, and when he returns to the capital, he finally has time to read the script and prepare for the next play, but it is just ......
"Brother Zhang." Shao Yingying, who returned home and read four scripts in two days, called his agent and came to the conclusion: "I pushed all four books for me, and I don't really want to act." ”
"Xiao Shao, are you sure? I don't have any new jobs in my hands right now, and if you don't play these roles, you won't have to pick a new job when the company gives you a new job. Although we have some fame now, we haven't yet found time to nitpick the script......"
"Don't worry, I understand, help me push."
Shao Yingying replied very resolutely, it would be a waste of time for him to act in some TV series that could not achieve the effect of attracting audiences, and now he could only choose the latter between money and fame before the broadcast of "Mansion Gate".
"Okay, then I'll push it for you."
Shao Yingying heard that Zhang Wan was a little unhappy, after all, if he didn't take the job, the other party would have no money to get, and then he added: "Brother Zhang, how are the two script-writing appointments now?" Tell me about it. ”
"Script? Oh, I forgot if you didn't mention it, these two covenants, one from a local TV station and the other from a heart picture company, now the scope has been decided, and the local TV station requires to write an urban emotional drama, which is not big investment and can resonate with the audience's heart; As for the heart picture, I think forget it, Lao Mouzi has too high requirements for the script, rather than investing a lot of time in this fight, it is better to take on some other jobs to show his face on the small screen and accumulate some audience popularity. ”
"Picture of the heart?" Shao Yingying remembered the wonderful company, the company did not sign artists, only signed directors, and what is even more interesting is that the company has only one director, that is Zhang Yimou!
It can even be said that this company was set up specifically for Zhang Yimou, and all the money Zhang Weiping made in the business field was smashed into Zhang Yimou's movies, and he didn't even have the idea of quitting when he lost money, which is why Zhang Yimou is becoming more and more popular today.
Shao Yingying, who was sitting at home, was holding the phone next to the computer and looking at the movies related to Zhang Yimou one by one, he wanted to see what the next scene of the new picture was, but he searched according to the year, and found that Zhang Yimou stopped for two years after the filming of "Happy Times", and two years later, he came out with "Hero", which broke the mainland box office record and threw the movie with the highest box office record of more than 40 million so far!
The film information shows that Zhang Yimou had the idea of making a martial arts film after filming "Happy Times", and at first he wanted to adapt the works of Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng and others, but he found that it was not suitable for picking and choosing, these works are too familiar to the audience, the plot is too complicated, foreign audiences can't understand it, and domestic audiences have already watched it more than once. So, Zhang Yimou first collected the script in all directions, and chose the suitable one among the scripts of Chengshan, but Lao Mouzi, who has always had high requirements, did not pick something that met his heart, and in the end, he could only make it up by himself, and in the end, "Hero", a movie criticized by film critics but created a box office myth, was finally released.
"All next."
Shao Yingying looked at the cast of heroes, exquisite pictures, and said such a cruel word to the mobile phone.
"Xiao Shao, don't make trouble, you're wasting your time, the heart picture didn't just send you an invitation, the screenwriters who have a certain reputation in China have received this invitation, the heart picture is planning to cast a wide net, whether they can catch fish or not They don't know the bottom of their hearts, it depends on Zhang Yimou's dissatisfaction with these books."
Shao Yingying smiled, in terms of the current state of his heart, Zhang Wan's analysis was not wrong at all, but Zhang Wan didn't know what myth Zhang Yimou would create next!
"It's okay.,Help me get both books down.,Anyway, there's no role for me right now.。
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Wan sighed: "Hey, okay, my seventh master!" I think you're crazy about the big screen, and you have to fight every possible way, or you don't give up. ”
Zhang Wan replied to Shao Yingying the next day after hanging up the phone, and complained: "I took the script for you, if the script can't be chosen, no one will give it to the eldest son, and if it is selected, 400,000." Xiao Shao, why do I think it's not worth it, you know, I can inquire, the screenwriters who have become famous in the capital have pushed this job, only those guys who haven't made it out are rushing up, and there are hundreds of gunmen who have taken this job, and you expect to excel in these books...... It's better to step down and write a script for a local TV series with high ratings. ”
"Also, I have already negotiated with Tianjing TV, the script costs 250,000 yuan, and people want a plot that is not too out of the circle."
