Actresses with strong aura actually suffer a lot, because the heroines of the popular ancient puppet dramas and sweet dramas in later generations are all soft and lovely...

She can't do it, and her appearance is not beautiful - if she is not from a professional class, her facial contours and facial features are not perfect compared with many girls in the acting department.

Costume dramas in the traditional sense have quite high requirements for the appearance of actors.

Plus the acting skills are just like that, and there is nothing irreplaceable...

Gradually, it became mushy...

Actually, it's okay, at least there is a drama, and it's not a legal coffee.

In this circle, as long as you stay at ease, abide by the law and have rules, good things will come to you!

After watching a paragraph, after the director finished shouting, Shen Xudong applauded: "It's so good!" ”

"Who are you boasting about?"

"All kua..."

Zhang Yi got up: "Let me introduce..."

"I know them all..."

Having said that, Shen Xudong still bowed and greeted the actors...

It's all seniors!

The crew of "Return", except for Zhang Huiwen, the others are all at the level of drama bones...

No, there is also a Li Chun.

……

Li Chun also made her debut in "The Thirteenth Hairpin of Jinling", but she did not sign a new picture, so she did not have a relationship with Tianmei Media, but she had a good relationship with Liu Zhan...

Liu Zhan is the screenwriter of "Love Malatang" and the screenwriter of "Bath", and later directed the film himself and filmed "Half Sea Water, Half Flame"...

It also belongs to the people of the Beijing circle!

It's just that the reputation is not obvious.

Shen Xudong is not impressed by her, he only knows that she has always had a play, and the only role out of the circle seems to be the manager in "Celebrating More Than Years"... In addition, it is Chen Sicheng's night party heroine...

And she really looks like Wang Ou!

Shen Xudong just glanced at her a few times, but did not contact her - this time he came to visit "Return", mainly to persuade Gong Li to take over the filming of "Three Kingdoms", and Xudong had no spare time to spread art.

At the end of the day's shooting, Xu Dong chatted with Zhang Yi for a while, and was about to say goodbye, when Zhang Yi suddenly asked: "... What do you think of the theme of Brother Wen? ”

"I can't talk about opinions," Shen Xudong is honest: "I don't know much, and the audience knows even less... This genre is clearly non-mainstream..."

"Is it already non-mainstream?"

"Hmm... It's like no one reads the scar now..."

"Era?"

After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "What the current mainstream film market wants is a good story and genre narrative ability!" ”

"When we were in college, we were taught to dilute the narrative..."

"It's normal..."

Throughout the 80s, whether it was the teachers, students, or theorists of the film academy, everyone had the same goal, that is, how to promote Chinese art and make Chinese films have a little influence in the world. Therefore, the fifth generation of directors, both in terms of creative ideas and techniques, revolves around this center, and the 80s was an era when the mainstream artistic proposition was very distinct...

The films at that time were different from the current film production, which was mainly market-oriented, and the main thing about film works was the presentation of art.

In this context, the fifth-generation directors are more adept at exploring China's cultural spirit and national character in the grand narrative of Sinicization, and convey more of the collective will in the speculative film theme, which is symbolic and allegorical...

And then to the sixth generation ...

The sixth generation of directors is actually quite pitiful, when they made films, they caught up with the end of the planned economy, the traditional studio production system collapsed, it was difficult for art films to get investment, and the living space was greatly compressed.

This makes them have to embark on the road of "underground" films with a very limited cost and a method similar to "documentary". By participating in some famous foreign film festivals, they have been recognized by the international community, and then gradually find their place in the Chinese film market.

This has distanced the sixth generation of directors from ordinary moviegoers, whose works "see themselves, see heaven and earth, but do not see all beings." Ordinary viewers can't even see their films. ”

……

"Streaming media refers to a technology and process in which a series of multimedia materials are compressed and sent through the Internet to transmit audio and video for viewing in real time. The main technical feature of streaming is streaming, which allows data to be transmitted like a stream..."

That is to say, it can directly provide users with audio and video services and billed audio and video content through the Internet rather than a platform for telecom operators, and members can directly select their favorite content on the platform for online browsing, so as to achieve "click and watch". ”

"As long as you install the PPTV APP, register as a member, and pay 15 yuan a month, you can watch more than 6,000 dramas!"

Shen Xudong took out his mobile phone and demonstrated PPTV...

Then Gong Li interrupted him: "Isn't this thing an online video platform... I also use it a lot to watch movies! ”

“… Yes. ”

"Then why is it called streaming?"

"Because we're going to make a self-made drama... New stories are needed! ”

Gong Li was still a little incredible: "Why did you ask me to act in an online drama?" ”

"Because the series "Three Kingdoms" is not only for China, I also hope that he can take PPTV to Southeast Asia... International superstars are needed! Speaking of this, Shen Xudong continued: "I can think of anything other than Zhang Ziyi... But you also know, I don't like Zhang Ziyi! ”

"My agency won't agree!"

Shen Xudong said confidently: "... I can offer $800,000 per episode! ”

"$800,000 for a single episode... Are you crazy? ”

Gong Li was taken aback...

If her price is $800,000 for a single episode, then... The cost of this drama is unimaginable!

"Don't worry, you will have a role in the first season, and a maximum of eight episodes..."

"8 episodes? How many episodes are in the first season? ”

"No more than ten episodes, each episode is about 60~70 minutes!"

“… So how much money are you going to build the first one? ”

Shen Xudong stretched out three fingers: "Don't talk about this number!" ”

“… Three hundred million..."

"Yes!"

"Renminbi?"

"Of course it's RMB, and I'm not a fool, how can I spend $300 million on a drama?"

Gong Li pondered for a while, and then said, "... You show me the script first..."

Shen Xudong smiled awkwardly: "The script is still being created..."

"The script is not ready, you will come to me?"

Shen Xudong shrugged his shoulders, picked up the apple on the table, and took a bite: "I have to convince you first, and then I can judge whether this project can continue... After all, according to the plan, it will take more than ten years to shoot... If you don't answer anything, I'll save trouble, and I won't shoot if it's a big deal! ”

"Then tell me who you're going to find as a director."

"Kong Sheng and Zhang Yongxin... Actually, it's the Mountain Shadow team, and they were all poached by me..."

"Is Kong Sheng Zhang Xinjian's apprentice?"

"You know him?"

"I've seen Zhang Xinjian's Confucius..."
