Chapter 123: August

Shen Xudong didn't mean to trap people.

For Nazha, it is much better to make efforts in online dramas than for her to act in TV series and movies!

The entertainment industry is like this, first-class stars are docked with first-class resources, second-rate stars are docked with second-rate resources, and there are few skipping grades.

And, to be honest, Nazha's acting skills are definitely not excellent, at most they will pass.

The kind of vase that is played in commercial films...

The key is that Nazha can't be a traffic star...

Traffic stars are a kind of product, you can't look at them with the standards of actors, more often they are presented to the audience as a product, and the function they want to achieve is to meet the audience's needs for entertainment, pastime, worship, conjecture and dreaming.

Therefore, they need to constantly have fresh materials to keep out for business to maintain the curiosity and freshness of the audience; It is also necessary to occasionally stir up CP, establish a persona, and frequently brush your face on variety shows, so that the exposure and popularity are stable within a reasonable range.

For traffic stars, in fact, they are the product of market-driven and fan-shaping, what the market needs, they have to become, the market needs their sissy shape, they have to be a sissy, the market wants them to be muscular men, they have to be muscular men!

Traffic is their greatest value, and it is also the foundation on which they rely to survive in the entertainment industry.

Don't let the traffic play the main drama, it will be a disaster!

It's good to brush your face in variety shows and act in ancient puppet dramas.

Nazha, Reba, and Yang Zi all have to take the actor route...

Then make efforts to online dramas...

In the past, online dramas were known for their low, in fact, there are many online dramas with low production standards nowadays, after all, there is no threshold for filming online dramas, you can take a DV yourself, find two classmates to shoot it, and do post-processing.

Even the word-of-mouth "Mao Liar" - the last episode of the first season of "Mao Liar" The fox chases Dongdong, Xiaobao's long shot, and the part where the police chase Dongdong after being bait by Zhao Ning, running wildly on the street and grabbing it attracted a large number of onlookers, quite in the style of various crime documentaries in the 90s.

Why did you shoot like that?

No money!

Moreover, the TV drama market has fallen into a strange circle: if there are no big names, it will not be easy to sell, TV series audiences still recognize celebrities, and inviting big names will lead to rising production costs, so it is even more necessary to rely on stars to make money and sell at a high price...

Web dramas do not have these problems.

First, because of cost constraints, secondly, the audience is used to not seeing TV cafes in online dramas, and thirdly, even if there are no big coffees, the video platform will pay for it, in this case, why not spend money on production?

As for traditional TV dramas, online audiences don't buy it?

If you think about it too much, there is only one kind of content that the audience doesn't buy: spam content!

This is the reason why Shen Xudong looks down on a group of so-called new media workers, all of whom are arrogant, and all of them regard the traditional industry and the staff who have worked hard in the sea of blood for decades as a joke.

I feel poor and play stalks to be called online dramas!

Gee...

It can only be said that these people don't understand the content...

……

Nazha came to visit, and then left, the production team of "Heartless Mage" is Hou Hongliang's team, the chief director Li Xue, and the screenwriter is Shen Xudong's screenwriting studio, seven or eight screenwriters together...

The total cost is 18 million.

"Ancient Mirror", "Heartless Mage", and "Psychological Crime" are three high-quality dramas, and the cost is around 20 million.

The opening work "Ghost Blows the Lantern Only Exquisite Ancient City" costs 32 million, which belongs to a super web drama!

It can only be said that today's actors are not so expensive, and they have an eight-figure salary at every turn - the starring lineup of "Exquisite Ancient City" is Pan Yueming, Jiang Chao and Lu Jingshan...

The combined salary of the three is only 5.5 million.

A total of 32 dramas, according to the plan, the total investment is close to 500 million...

The company has a large number of half-popular actors, as well as many potential new stars and popular new actors.

It's all arranged!

……

company, to be precise, studio, Shen Xudong is discussing with a group of people the actors of "Demon Thieves".

Commercial blockbusters must use big stars.

Generally speaking, the actor either chooses Deng Chao and Huang Xiaoming from the mainland, or Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.

At the moment in 2012, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors are still relatively popular.

Of course, there is no such thing as Tianmei Media, the actor must use mainland actors, and Shen Xudong's idea is to use mainland actors around 30 years old.

Of course, there is no such thing as Tianmei Media, the actor must use mainland actors, and Shen Xudong's idea is to use mainland actors around 30 years old.

Deng Chao + Brother Hu.

It just so happened that Deng Chao had acted in "Lao Qian" before, and he had received training in cutting cards, which was very suitable for the male number one, an expert in playing cards, and his tricks were superb.

Hu Ge plays the role of the one of the four magicians who is good at lockpicking.

There is still hypnosis and the male number two who is ostensibly a policeman, but is actually the organizer.

As for the only female magician, the one who is good at escaping, there is no need to choose at all, Jing Tian will act!

In this script, Jing Tian invested 60 million, accounting for 20% of the investment...

- 25% premium.

In fact, if he is willing to change hands, increase the price by 40 million, and sell it to the takeover investor for 100 million, there will definitely be investors who are willing to take over.

After all, "Shocking Demon Thieves" is a work supervised by Shen Xudong!

pulled it back, Liao Gaoxiang made a suggestion: "Why don't you find a powerful faction to raise the performance level of the crew?" ”

“… With an investment amount of 250 million, what kind of strength are you looking for? ”

“… Then look for someone who has both strength and popularity... Huang Bo, what do you think? ”

"Yes!"

"Wait a minute!" Shen Xudong interjected and wrote down his name: "What else?" ”

"Do you want the police behind the scenes to find a Hong Kong actor?"

"Leung Ka Fai?"

"Zhang Jiahui is not bad!"

"Liu Qingyun can too..."

"No, these people know that they are good people at a glance, and there is no surprise in the reversal!"

"It's... Hong Kong police and gangster films are just those few people over and over again, and they will always play the leading role... Always a positive person, there is a fixed impression! ”

"I heard that it is because of the influence of Cantonese opera, which is strictly divided into Shengdan and Jingmo ugly!"

"No, I've heard that it's the chin and the chin, the chin is the main character, and the chin is the supporting role..."

", how does Xie Tianhua's standard chin actor play the leading role?"

Shen Xudong asked Liao Gaoxiang, who was sitting beside him: "What do you think?" ”

"Wu Zhenyu or Huang Qiusheng..."

"Then Wu Zhenyu..."

Shen Xudong wrote down Wu Zhenyu's name, and was about to interrupt the discussion of a group of people when someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Chen Xi walked in with a stack of documents: "It's all here... I'll look for Shen Dong..."

Shen Xudong was quite curious: "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Xi didn't evade it, and asked directly: "..."Nine-Story Demon Tower" has a box office of more than 200 million in three days, has the studio of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" contacted you?" ”

“… Yes, they said that they wanted to continue to develop Fanwai, "Nuqing Xiangxi" and "Dragon Bone Heavenly Book"..."

"You refused?"

“… Come to your office and talk! Shen Xudong got up and left a sentence: "You guys continue to discuss, by the way, discuss the director candidate..."
