Chapter Eighty-Six: The Difference in Fame

013-10-11

"Do you want to take on a play that you never give up? I said meaningfully: "The screenwriter is a little bit now, but he is a person of the light of day." ”

"But the actor is the director?" Lin Xiao also smiled and said, "Since he and I will become opponents sooner or later, it is better to meet earlier." ”

 i laughed and said, "You deliberately them off, didn't you?" Let Skylight know that the people they gave up have now come to this point. ”

Lin Xiao smiled noncommittally and did not answer.

"Okay, I'll help you arrange a time. But let's be honest, you'd better not get too hopeful. I thought for a while and said, "You are officially debuting, with your current fame, there will be a lot of film appointments and advertisements to find you, but I want you to pay attention to one thing." ”

Her tone became serious, "Overnight fame, it's not a myth, but it has happened to many people. From now on, each of your works will enter a 'period of observation'. ”

"Observation period?" Lin Xiao asked puzzledly, he had never been famous before, no matter what he said now, even if it was short-lived, this period of time was in the limelight, and even overshadowed the scandals of many second-tier artists.

"Looks like I need to give you some tutoring. I turned around and said solemnly, "Once you become famous, your life will be very different from before, and what I am saying now, you must pay attention to each one." ”

"It's easy to succeed, but it's hard to keep it, your current fame can be worth some declining second-tier artists, but that's all. You have to remember that there is only one thing about the audience: they like the new and hate the old. If you don't take advantage of this limelight to really stabilize your fame, then you will enter a refrigeration period where salted fish can't turn over. ”

"This is related to the observation period I just mentioned, and now many crews and advertisements are looking at you. They're watching you, to see if you're worth filming them, and if you make the wrong move, you'll lose everything. I looked at him worriedly, and finally asked, "Tell me now, what are you thinking, where is it?" ”

Lin Xiao didn't think about it, and said solemnly, "Of course it's the emperor superstar!" ”

"It's good, every newcomer holds this dream. I sighed, "Then, you have to listen to me, the following points, you must not do." ”

"First, it's forbidden to act in idol dramas!"

Without waiting for Lin Xiao to nod, he said solemnly, "Idol dramas, there is a nickname, called 'Rookie Training Center', I have watched your editing, your acting skills are absolutely passable, and the difference is a chance to become famous." Idol dramas are actually a very chicken existence for TV stations, and the ratings can't compete with ethical dramas and crime dramas. In terms of awards, it is also a defeat of legal dramas and so on. But the TV station is unlikely to let it go. ”

Lin Xiao smiled, "Because you let it go, you can't deal with the newcomers who pop up countless times a year?" ”

 i gave him an appreciative look, "Yes, how many new people are thousands every year." At most, idol dramas can only fight for some third-rate awards such as 'Campus Television Art Award' and 'Youth Choice Award'. will also put a vase of 'laurels' for the artist, since you have this strength and ambition, you don't need to exercise your acting skills, idol dramas are poison for you. Certain! Resolutely refuse! It doesn't matter how high the price is. ”

Lin Xiao nodded, I am worthy of being the former agent of the Oscar-winning actress, and he knows these insiders far better than him.

He couldn't help but sigh, once read novels, and traveled back to make a movie, as an industry insider, he deeply understands that a script, even if it is conceived, it is extremely difficult to plump it up, not to mention storyboards, lines, this is not a job that one person can do at all.

Unless that person is a god, or has engraved the script of a certain play in his head, it is simply unrealistic to go back and make a small production and then sell it like in a novel.

People have special jīng, so he still chooses the path he is most familiar with when he is reborn.

"Second, there's the issue of advertising. I went on to say, "Now there are many brands that plan to give you notices, but all of them are ordinary advertisements and no endorsements. I picked a few. But you have to remember that if there is an endorsement advertisement, you have to consult with me. ”

"The exclusivity of endorsement advertising is very serious, and the endorsement of a top brand starts at least three years. Ordinary advertising only sells you the right to image once, but you are also responsible for endorsing them on various occasions. If there are too many endorsements, taking care of one or the other, it will make everyone dissatisfied. Therefore, real superstars are very selective about endorsements, they may only have two or three endorsement advertisements on them, but the price is higher than the ten endorsements of others. ”

Lin Xiao thought about it for a while and said, "You mean, the more advertising endorsements, the lower the value of that star?" ”

"That's it. I said with satisfaction, "In order to maintain your current value, I want to formulate a plan for you to benefit from jīng, except for jīng, nothing else." ”

Lin Xiao jokingly said Sister I, aren't you afraid that I'm poor? ”

 i glanced at him, "At least in the past few months, your income has been the top second-tier artist." ”

Lin Xiao said bitterly, although the systematic training is a long stream, but the effect is very good, no matter how much money he has, it is not enough.

"On one final note, you definitely don't want to think about records and anything like that right now. I said very seriously this time, "Sanqi, if you don't wait for the line to develop to the extreme and then cross the border, you will die a miserable death." This is a big taboo in the artist industry. Once you've chosen a line, your runway is almost set. ”

"For example, think of Glee, who are the leading musical TV series, and their original soundtracks and CD sales have repeatedly broken the charts. But the Grammys and the American Music Awards ignored them at all. Another example is Madonna, even if she made a classic business card such as Don't Cry for Me in Argentina, it still was not recognized by filmmakers. Just like Zhao Qingya, she is indeed the most successful domestic amphibious superstar, but none of them can reach the top. Movies can't compare to Ge You, TV can't compare to Chen Zhiming, and records can't compare to Faye Wong and Zhang Huimei. ”

Lin Xiao nodded, he also knew that many singers and movie stars crossed over the border, but in fact, they were just "making extra money", and if they had made enough, they would do what they should do. Even superstars like Andy Lau and Zhang Guorong are much more brilliant than other banks.

"Others, I will remind you when necessary, and congratulations to you, you have done very well in the past six months, especially in the fashion industry, and even laid a solid foundation for your future famous endorsements, clothing, and cosmetics. Don't underestimate this piece, when you really have a reputation for being in front of you, this is one of your biggest consumer spending. You've gotten to the point where a lot of people can get to where it takes a few years, and as long as you maintain your current reputation, it's only a matter of time before you get to the second tier. ”

"Hehe, am I also an official actor?" He quipped.

 i also smiled "Your price has changed from a package price to a per-episode price, which is already the treatment of an official actor." However, I hope that the Shaolin football that will be completed in a few months will double your price. ”

At the end of the talk, I roughly set a goal for him, "three disciplines and eight attentions". The atmosphere became lively, Lin Xiao continued to close his eyes and rest, and he also started the car.

As soon as I returned to the dormitory, Li Hao, He Lanyun, and Zhao Wei's congratulatory calls came. He chatted for a while before he began to rest.

A dreamless night, a few days of exertion, made him sleep for eight hours, and when he woke up, he was already on three poles.

As soon as I had breakfast, I called, "Come to the company and get your script." Shaolin football, just sent over. ”

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "It's still so careful." ”

"It can't be helped. I sighed and said, "You're not the main character, the lines are almost none." In order to prevent newcomers from fighting for the script, it is reasonable for him to send these over. ”

"Okay, I'll come right over."

After getting the script from the company, his mobile phone rang again, and this time he picked it up and saw that it was actually Qin Xin calling.

"Where?"

Lin Xiao laughed, "Company." ”

"That's simple." The other party also smiled, "I watched yesterday's propaganda meeting." It's really envious, so many cameras are on you. ”

"When you can't keep your eyes open from the flash, you know how abominable these shots are." Lin Xiao made a joke and asked, "How are you doing?" ”

The two talked like old friends, and neither of them pierced the window paper.

"It's not good." Qin Xin sighed, "I was locked up at home and couldn't get out......"

Then, she began to talk endlessly about her grievances, Lin Xiao smiled and listened, but unexpectedly, only ten minutes had passed. Qin Xin's voice suddenly stopped.

"Who are you calling?" A middle-aged man's voice rang indistinctly on his phone.

Qin Xin hung up the phone without saying anything, and Lin Xiao couldn't help frowning.

The feeling of boredom in his heart lingered, and he wanted to go back to the dormitory directly, but now he simply returned to the company.

"How about never giving up over there?" He found i and asked.

"No news, I just sent an application in the morning. I sorted out the information without raising my head, "At least tonight, there will be results, wait patiently." ”

Damn, he couldn't find something to do, so he returned to his dormitory depressed and began to study the script of Shaolin football.

His play is expected to be filmed in Zhuhai in two and a half months. The last scene. However, there are still ten days before the makeup is set. It takes all the actors to be on the line.

Speaking of which, in a movie, the role of a supporting role can often be completed in a month. The trouble is the role of the protagonist, as well as the post-production. He took a closer look and found that there was no difference from the previous life, so he put it aside.

In the next few days, in addition to going to Li Hao and He Lanyun's on-set exploration class, he went to the gym every day, which was to experience the script of Shaolin football.

Ten days later, a phone call came, and the makeup of Shaolin football will be launched today!
