Chapter 173: Lessons from Experience
"Happy Death Day" belongs to the B-grade film.
B-grade films, generally without famous actors, are not big productions, to a certain extent, they are in the nature of playing tickets; If the play is poor, the audience will not spray, after all, the expectations in the early stage are not high;
If you play well, you will be talked about.
For example, Quentin's talkative, heavy-flavored, and unexpected ending "Reservoir Dogs" is a typical B-grade movie!
Speaking of "Happy Death Day", it is actually a time loop + suspense crime...
The heroine finds her killer through time loops again and again - don't let me die a few more times, I don't know that I have offended so many people! But I can't help it, I still love myself the most!
The leading actor Amanda Seyfried has a lot of popularity among the youth group - starred in "Mean Girl" in a supporting role.
"Mean Girls" is really a miracle, a drama that brings out Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McYers and Amanda Seyfried...
The star-making ability can be seen!
Amanda Seyfried is very popular, "Happy Death Day" estimates that the final score in North America can exceed $60 million...
Ahem, this is not the point, for China, the appearance of "Happy Death Day" has broken the consistent perception - is Hollywood casting so casual?
Zhao Liying, I haven't starred in any works, the only impression is that last year's Yahoo Search Star Feng Xiaogang group champion, and then I heard that I signed a contract with TiMi Media...
Why did you suddenly participate in a blockbuster Hollywood movie?
Zhao Liying explained: "According to the script, the heroine's roommate can be Asian or black, and the producer of the movie is our company, so we must choose Asian... I just happened to have time at that time, so I went to shoot for a week..."
"Well, I just filmed for a week..."
Then, the media decisively asked, "Then how is your relationship with the heroine Amanda Seyfried?" ”
“… So so. ”
"Didn't make friends?"
"I can't even speak English, how can I make friends?"
"So will you go to Hollywood in the future?"
“… I don't know, look at the company's arrangement," after thinking about it, Zhao Liying said truthfully: "I don't think I should enter the army... The reason why I can play this role is very simple, I have the right age and a schedule..."
Indeed, Zhang Hanyun was still filming "Zhu Xian" at that time, so Chen Xi recommended Zhao Liying...
"Can your company interfere with casting?"
“… What interferes with casting? I'm playing a supporting role..."
Zhao Liying was a little speechless, these reporters can't understand people's words? The media was about to continue to ask, Chen Xi and several company staff rushed over and directly stopped a group of interviewing media: "I'm sorry everyone, Liying is still a newcomer, and I won't accept interviews for the time being, you can ask me any questions..."
……
Zhang Hanyun ordered the food, waited for about twenty minutes, the dishes were ready, and was about to call Zhao Liying to inform her that she had come over...
It's different from what I imagined, and my face is a little ugly.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Liying was quite aggrieved: "Sister Chen scolded the producer and scolded me..."
Zhang Hanyun was very curious: "Why are you scolding?" ”
"She said that I was stupid, I didn't receive a notice from my agent, I dared to accept the interview, and next time, she wouldn't care about me!"
Zhang Hanyunjing was surprised: "So, Sister Chen didn't know about the interview just now?" ”
"Well, she doesn't know..."
"No wonder..."Zhang Hanyun nodded to indicate that she knew.
"No wonder? What's the wonder? What about the back? ”
Zhang Hanyun put down her chopsticks and looked serious: "All the artist's itinerary planning must be arranged by the brokerage team!" ”
"Huh? Wouldn't I have no freedom at all? ”
Zhang Hanyun said seriously: "No, the celebrity's agent is responsible for the celebrity's food, clothing, housing, transportation, travel arrangements and reasonable arrangements for some schedules, and also helps artists negotiate some cooperation, and then strive for some resources... Of course, these have to be agreed by the star himself!
But the moment you become a star, you must always pay attention to your words and deeds, cooperate with the team's planning, and know that if you contact the media casually, it is likely to affect the team's image of the star..."
Zhao Liying was taken aback: "Is it so serious?" ”
"What do you say, now that the media is so developed, you are right, they may not report it, but as long as you say the wrong thing, you will immediately become a laughing stock known to the whole people..." ”
Zhao Liying thought about it seriously, and then scratched her head: "I don't even remember what I said..."
"Sister Chen..."
Zhang Hanyun was about to continue asking, when she noticed that Chen Xi came over and hurriedly got up, Zhao Liying also saw it, and then stood up, but her head drooped, as if she had made a mistake...
"You two sit down!"
Chen Xi was expressionless and glanced at Zhao Liying: "I have asked several media, and your answer is basically in line with our image preset for you... But next time, you must pay attention, if there is an interview, I will definitely tell you in advance, I didn't tell you that there was an interview, so don't talk, the media is so easy to deal with? ”
"Then just now..."
"It's a job we don't do well... Although I thought that there might be a media interview, it was still too late..."Speaking of this, Chen Xi added: "In addition, the producer has been fired by me, and he dares to arrange an interview without our consent?" What else do you say for the sake of propaganda, thinking I'm a fool? ”
"Expulsion?"
“… This has nothing to do with you... By the way, Xiao Zhao, have you heard Xu Dong say about the sequel to "Happy Death Day"? ”
Zhao Liying shook her head, took out her mobile phone, displayed the contact column, and spread out the screen: "Xudong hasn't contacted me much..."
“… You should ask him..."
"Then what if he ignores me?"
"You are what he asked for, how can he ignore you... Let me tell you that Xudong doesn't seem to be close to him, but in fact, he is very sullen, if you pretend to ask questions, he will definitely respond..."
"What's the problem?" ×2
Oh, Zhang Hanyun also wants to get closer to Shen Xudong...
It's normal, we all know that Tianmei's excellent resources are controlled by Shen Xudong, and only by having a good relationship with him can we be praised...
Although they are still newcomers, they probably know that actors are famous by their works, and although the probability of a drama being directly on the front line is not large, but... It is still very possible to become known to the whole people.
Shen Xudong's works have this ability!
Chen Xi pondered for a moment and said a few things about experience: "You can ask some things related to literature and history, by the way, you can also ask about some things about Hollywood and Hong Kong film history... He's interested in all of that! ”
After thinking about it, she added: "Also, don't think about seducing him... He likes the long-legged royal sister model. ”
Zhao Liying immediately answered: "Long-legged royal sister? Tang Yan? ”
“… Gotta have breasts! Be in good shape! ”
"Oh..."
……
In fact, experience can only be used as a reference, especially personal aesthetics, because aesthetics can change!
Maybe I liked Yang Guifei during this time, and after a while, I liked Zhao Feiyan, and later I saw the blonde and thought it was good...
For example, Shen Xudong, he used to like to be more mature, Peugeot Mingyan beauty, but now, he thinks 25 years old is better...
Maybe in a few years, I'll fall in love with a 20-year-old girl, it's not necessarily!
The change in the aesthetics of mature people comes from the growth of knowledge.
Ahem, of course, one thing is fixed, that is, the pretty will always be beautiful, and the ugly will always be ugly!
Oh, Shen Xudong is discussing with Kevin Williamson about the adaptation of "The Vampire Diaries" and casting...
That's right, "Twilight" will be released in July next year, according to Shen Xudong's estimates, it will definitely drive the revival of the vampire theme, that... It's a good choice to make a TV series with the same theme!
Joseph Drake immediately recommended The Vampire Diaries...
