Chapter 257: Break! Change your face before the broadcast
After Liu Heluo hung up the phone, Yu Haohua, the actor of the second male Ah Jin, also called to congratulate:
"Su Zhe, I heard that "Evil Kiss" was sold?"
Su Zhe didn't need him to fight the autumn wind, and asked directly:
"What do you want to drink?"
Yu Haohua laughed and said:
"You still know me, as long as you have enough wine. By the way, I heard you're going to make a movie? β
Su Zhe saw that good opportunities in the circle were indeed rare, so he didn't mind these friends coming to find jobs:
"yes, want to participate? However, except for the male lead, there are not many scenes of young male characters. β
The second male is the father of the male protagonist, and the other male classmates are just tool people.
Yu Haohua definitely doesn't mind being Su Zhe's "father", but obviously Su Zhe won't agree.
Regardless of the size of the opportunity, Yu Haohua immediately agreed, and asked curiously:
"By the way, I haven't asked you about the title of the movie yet!"
"The Unspeakable Secret."
Haohua Yu: ......
"The wine doesn't smell good."
Su Zhe: ???
After hanging up the phone, he was a little confused, and when he received a call from You Mengli and asked him about the name of the movie, he said it again:
"The Unspeakable Secret."
You Mengli pouted, and his tone was a little aggrieved:
"Keep it a secret from me?"
"I didn't guarantee ...... Oh! Su Zhe is not a fool after all, and finally reacted, "The name of the movie is "The Secret That Can't Be Said"! β
You Mengli was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing:
"Haha! How did you come up with this name? β
Su Zhe smiled bitterly and chatted with You Mengli for a long time, when his heart suddenly moved, and asked:
"Interested in acting?"
You Mengli was a little eager to try and replied:
"Okay, I'll make a cameo and give me a few seconds of footage."
"Cameo?" Su Zhe instigated, "It's better to play the second female (Qingyi)." β
When You Mengli heard such an important role as the second female, she was immediately stunned:
"No, no, no, I only know music, but not like you are an all-round genius, don't make you lose money."
Su Zhe encouraged her:
"Just act in her true colors, the second female is the school flower and musical genius of the Conservatory, but after meeting a more talented male protagonist, I gradually fell in love with him......"
You Mengli couldn't help nodding when he heard the descriptions of "School Flower of the Conservatory" and "Music Genius" in front of him, admitting that he was acting in his true colors, and after hearing "I like the male lead", his pretty face turned red, but he didn't refute it, and replied weakly:
"Well, if you want me to act, I'll try."
Su Zhe teased her:
"There's a kiss scene, can you accept it?" (There really is)
You Mengli snorted like a mosquito.
Su Zhe was stunned for a moment, and increased his strength:
"There's also a bed scene." (This one really doesn't)
You Mengli's voice lowered:
"Just with you."
Su Zhe was even more excited: "There are still ......"
"Stop!" You Mengli finally understood that Su Zhe was teasing himself, and shouted weakly, "Are you going to release it in Dongying?" β
"Hahaha!" Su Zhe was amused and laughed.
After deciding that You Mengli would play the second female Qingyi, Su Zhe casually made a phone call and told Yan Xiling.
Yan Xiling was a little helpless:
"Boss, this role doesn't need acting skills, just beauty, it's very suitable for newcomers, it's a pity to give others."
Su Zhe was silent for a moment, didn't say "You Mengli is not someone else", and asked her curiously:
"Newcomer? Aren't you planning to sign Zhang Yuhan? β
Yan Xiling sighed:
"was cut off by the Star Brothers, and the attraction of our Mary Sue is still not as attractive as other big companies."
Su Zhe didn't feel surprised and pity, but breathed a sigh of relief, intellectually speaking, it is very suitable to sign Zhang Yuhan, her appearance and acting skills are good, and the upward trend is very obvious.
But Su Zhe instinctively didn't appreciate her very much, so forget it if she was cut off.
"That's right, the heroine of "Secret" uses a newcomer and lets Mary Sue sign a contract. Our first movie is a good thing for our company, no problem, right? β
Yan Xiling didn't expect to lose the female supporting role and gain the heroine, she was excited, but she was also a little worried, and took the overall situation into account and said:
"Boss, movie results are important, otherwise you should send invitations to well-known actresses, right?"
Su Zhe refused:
"You Mengli and I combined, the traffic is enough. As for the heroine...... A famous actress may not be up to the task, she needs to ......"
He thought about the characteristics of the original Guilun Magnesium and described:
"Small breasts, little talk, and less expression."
Yan Xiling: ???
Seeing that she didn't understand, Su Zhe added:
"It's fresh and hanging, the style of the goddess of literary films, don't be too beautiful."
Don't look at many actresses who are beautiful, but they can only exert their power on the small screen, but on the big screen, they can only be used as a vase for men's plays.
This is not the only case in China, in the world, most of the stars with box office appeal are male stars.
And a small number of female stars with box office appeal are not particularly beautiful in the circle.
may be because they mainly rely on feature films, and most feature films need the heroine's appearance to be not so dazzling, so that the feelings contained in the plot can be more sincere and moving.
Otherwise, if you change to a big beauty, no matter how touching the plot is, it will be like "seeing color", and even some plots are difficult to convince.
For example, in "Young You", if the heroine is a big beauty, the male protagonist asks her to sleep in the cabin she built, and the audience calls for the police;
Another example is "33 Days of Broken Love", if Huang Xiaoxian is a big beauty, it is hard to believe that the card fan boy Guo Jingfei will get rid of her, and he also said that he has no regrets.
In short, this is this kind of law, Su Zhe is too lazy to study it clearly, and he doesn't need to write a paper, he just intends to follow it.
Yan Xiling thought about the conditions he asked for and said a name:
"For example, Director Qiu Da just brought out the Qiu girl Xie Shuru?"
Su Zhe thought of Xie Shuru's strange eye spacing, and immediately shook his head and said:
"Not too pretty means too pretty, not too pretty, not not at all."
It would be a bit harsh to say that Xie Shuru is ugly, but she can only be regarded as delicate among ordinary people, and she really can't be called beautiful.
"Okay, the boss moves his mouth, and we break our legs." Yan Xiling said helplessly, "I'm rummaging around the circle, and I'm sure I'll find a suitable one!" β
Su Zhe asked her to discuss the candidate with director Sun Mei, but she was worried that she would have too much say in the casting, after all, Sun Mei was just the new director she had just decided.
So after he hung up the phone, he called Sun Mei specifically and asked her to "cast completely from the perspective of film quality, and don't give anyone face".
"Hey, the balance of personnel......"
Su Zhe shook his head and sighed:
"Good artist, it's so tiring to work on these things all day!"
But thinking about Long Aotian's speed of making money, he was balanced in his heart again:
In this matter, the office politics are not as complicated as in his previous life, but the money he earns is something he can't earn in hundreds of lifetimes.
Fortunately, after arranging the work, he was idle again and ran a few commercial performances after a long absence.
He doesn't even have the money to pay for commercial performances now, but being able to interact with fans up close also makes him happy.
At this time, "Study Boy", as a pre-promotional variety show for "Mischievous Kiss", was finally launched.
"Let's Learn" is all newcomers, only Su Zhe and Liu Heluo appeared in the first few issues, and they can only rely on them as selling points.
Everyone is not optimistic about this type of variety show, and some people in the circle swear that they are:
"Su Zhe is floating! Penguins have been deceived! Who will watch variety shows for learning? If you have this time, why not go to online classes? β
"The audience watches variety shows just to play! Studying variety shows? It's set! β
In fact, Su Zhe just wanted to give it a try, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart, after all, he didn't have a similar successful experience in his previous life.
But anyway, the cost is almost zero, and if it doesn't succeed, it should be organized as a study class, and it won't be a loss.
But he didn't expect that due to the success of his previous variety shows, he had already gained the blind trust of some platforms and TV stations.
Some opponents and companies want to break his undefeated golden body by taking advantage of this, and deliberately hype it up, saying that "Let's Learn" is set.
Don't look at a small variety show that costs 10 million and is done casually, even if you pounce on the penguins, you don't care.
But from undefeated, and once pounced, the trust gained is completely different-
The former can be blindly trusted, while the latter has to assess the prospects.
This is something that Su Zhe didn't expect, and he reflected in his heart:
"In the entertainment industry, you must cherish your feathers."
It doesn't matter if the variety show flutters once, and even the TV series is not serious, because the audience can watch it for free.
But movies are different, you need to spend money to buy tickets, and if you are cheated once, it will be difficult next time.
For example, in his previous life, he used to see Shen Teng's movies without brains; Later, I was deceived by "cameo as a starring role", and I had to look at the "content" first; In the end, I simply stopped being superstitious, and like other movies, I will wait for word-of-mouth and ratings to come out.
In fact, I can understand Shen Teng, for the sake of favor, he made cameos in various bad movies, and he could indeed maintain good popularity in the circle, but the price was to lose the trust of the audience.
But now that "Let's Learn" is about to be launched, Su Zhe can't do anything, he can only hope that the data will not be too ugly and embarrass himself.
But I didn't expect that relying on Su Zhe's appeal, the popularity of "Let's Learn" was very good.
He now has a strong appeal, no matter what the show is, as long as he appears, there will be many fans, variety show fans, and passers-by to take a look.
Although learning is very boring, there are still a lot of barrage comments:
[Su Zhe is so awesome, I have a headache when I see the textbook, but I can watch him study, and he is very good. γ
[I watched the updated version released by the show, Su Zhe really wrote a volume for a day, and he is simply the king of the entertainment industry! ] γ
[It should be called the king of test papers......]
[Did the sugarcane see it?] You are all studying hard, do you still have time to chase the stars? γ
[Su Zhe is such a genius, I believe that if he didn't go to be a trainee and study normally, he would also be a college bully! ] γ
So, on the systemβ
[Forming a positive character: Xueba (2%)]
γDraw Reward: Fancy Billiards (Beginner)γ
Su Zhe didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy, so let's take a look at the rewards...... A little speechless.
"Well, it's a reward. Even if the show flutters, I don't lose anything. β
Anyway, he just appeared in a few episodes, and he went to film in the future, so he can't be blamed for pounced.
But he didn't expect that after he and Liu Heluo left, although the number of hits of "Let's Learn" plummeted, it actually cultivated some loyal audiences.
It is said that some graduate school entrance examination parties and public examination parties will open the program to study together to motivate themselves:
"Look at them, they are so good-looking and they are studying hard, what qualifications do I have not to work hard?"
There are not many people in this group, but at least they maintain the number of hits of "Let's Learn" and do not let the penguins lose money.
And on a certain petal, "Let's Learn" received a score of up to 8.9 points!
After all, this kind of variety show is simply politically correct, even if you don't like it, you have to praise it against your will to say "the intention is real".
In this way, "Let's Learn" is definitely not a failure, and it has disappointed people with bad intentions in the circle:
"Can this kind of strange variety show be successful? What magic does Su Zhe have? β
"Why is learning watched? The audience also spoiled Su Zhe too much! Do you all see that he leads people to farm? β
"It's unreasonable!"
Su Zhe didn't know what other people in the circle thought, and he himself felt very surprised.
But in his heart, it doesn't matter if "Let's Learn" succeeds or fails, it's just a game work.
The key is "Mischievous Kiss", which is not only related to his future worth, but also related to Long Aotian's development.
Must succeed!
Su Zhe knows the achievements of "Evil Kiss" in his previous life, and he is very sure, and his mood can remain calm.
But others, including director Zhu Guosong, producer Dong Wenxue, and even agent Yan Xiling, couldn't help but get nervous.
So much so that Su Zhe drank strange coffee for a few days and had to remind Xu Cui:
"Sister, don't get excited, don't use cold powder as coffee......"
Halfway through his complaint, he saw the guilty expression on Xu Cui's face, and hurriedly remedied:
"But don't really say it, the banlangen coffee is quite delicious."
Su Zhe finally amused everyone, but Dong Wenxue hurriedly arrived, told Su Zhe a bad news, and immediately asked everyone to scold his mother:
"Zhang Yuhan said that there is something and he can't participate in any publicity activities."
Su Zhe frowned, the actor's contract stipulates the obligation to publicize, and Zhang Yuhan is considered to have broken the contract.
Of course, the second female is only, even if she is absent from the publicity, the impact is not great, but it does make him not very happy.
- Who likes pigeon essence?
Not to mention others, they scolded Zhang Yuhan for being ungrateful.
In the eyes of the circle, a heroine of "President" and a second female of "Evil Kiss", Su Zhe is Zhang Yuhan's great benefactor.
In front of everyone, Dong Wenxue called Zhang Yuhan directly, and asked openly:
"Teacher Zhang, if you don't sign Mary Sue, I also advise Xiao Yan that everyone has their own ambitions, I don't blame you, but I don't even cooperate with the publicity, isn't it too much of a deception?"
Zhang Yuhan immediately complained pitifully:
"Sister Dong, you and Brother Su are my benefactors, it stands to reason that I have to go to all the knives in the sky! But Director Ma refused to ask for leave, after all, I am the heroine and I can't leave. I just signed the stars again, and I don't dare to play big names, otherwise I will be hidden in the snow. β
Director Ma is the queen director of the stars, and he is the person with the highest status in the stars, and even the boss has to coax him well.
Zhang Yuhan complained for a while, his figure was very soft, but his attitude was very resolute-
Don't go! Don't participate in any promotional activities!
Dong Wenxue wanted to say something, Su Zhe waved her hand, telling her not to waste her tongue and hang up the phone.
This made Dong Wenxue feel very aggrieved, and said ruthlessly:
"You Bichi! The contract is written in black and white with the obligation to publicize, just wait for the lawyer's letter! β
Su Zhe shrugged helplessly, and after seeing her hang up the phone, he said:
"When you say that, it looks like we're villains. In fact, if she doesn't come, it's her loss, just don't regret it in the future. β
Stars? Ma Dao? The sunset is just a generation of the West Mountain, can it be compared with him Su Zhe?
But he really didn't understand:
"What's in it for her and for the stars not to get involved? Could it be that the stars deliberately gave me a warning to the ambitious new player in the circle, Long Aotian? β
Su Zhe's question was quickly answered.
The next day, the stars instead sent a lawyer's letter to Long Aotian, returning Zhang Yuhan's salary for "Evil Kiss" three times, which was counted as compensation for breaking the contract, but asked Zhang Yuhan to change from "second female" to "special starring".
and demanded that in any propaganda channel, Liu Heluo's name should not be pressed on Zhang Yuhan.
This made Dong Wenxue suddenly realize and told Su Zhe:
"I see! If this Bichi climbs to the stars, he can't look down on the second female in "Evil Kiss", and he doesn't want to be suppressed by Liu Heluo! β
Before filming "Evil Kiss", Zhang Yuhan only had one "President", and she relied on Su Zhe to sell dramas, so she was grateful to Dade if she could continue to play the second female role, who cares about the position?
But after she was taken by the stars, she became the heroine of Director Ma's new work, whether it was the stars or herself, she didn't want her name to appear after the female traffic.
Su Zhe knew before that the position in the entertainment industry is not only face, but also status, power, and interests.
The battle for the position is a battle for interests, and there is no solution.
Dong Wenxue immediately shouted angrily:
"It's over after paying liquidated damages? I can't sue her! β
Su Zhe was very calm and persuaded:
""Evil Kiss" is about to be launched, how can there be time to dwell on this kind of? really won the lawsuit, Zhang Yuhan casually complained about his grievances, as if we were unreasonable. β
Dong Wenxue crossed her waist and asked:
"Then spare her?"
Su Zhe shook his head and asked first:
"How is the development of AI face swapping technology?"
Anyway, he remembered that in his previous life, thanks to the blessing of the majority of prisoner stars, this technology developed vigorously in the film and television industry.
And apparently, the stars of any world are the same.
Dong Wenxue immediately replied:
"There are flaws in the temporary change, but if you work overtime to render and adjust it now, before the broadcast, it will definitely be able to be fake and real!"
Su Zhe nodded and said:
"Then tell the stars, don't [specialize], anyway, they look down on "Evil Kiss", we will change Zhang Yuhan's AI face to ensure that she has nothing to do with this drama."
Su Zhe smiled and killed people:
"For the money to change your face, use the liquidated damages she paid."
Dong Wenxue felt very relieved:
"That's it! Are they afraid that we will borrow her fame? Bah! Isn't her fame all due to you? β
Su Zhe was too confident, causing the stars to hesitate when they heard it:
Could it be that "Evil Kiss" can become a hit? Otherwise, how can there be such a rigid person?
Generally speaking, as soon as they speak, normal companies in the circle will do it.
Isn't it just changing from [second female] to [special starring], how big is it? They are not targeting Su Zhe, but only Liu Heluo.
So after repeated research, the stars did not agree to change their faces, insisted on [special starring], and waited for "Evil Kiss" to become really popular.
But Su Zhe is not used to them, since the other party has torn up the treaty and compensated for the liquidated damages, Su Zhe has the right to change his face.
As for the face swap object?
Su Zhe called You Mengli:
"Use your face."
"Huh? Now? You Mengli whispered, "I'll book a plane ticket, don't worry." β
Su Zhe: ......
"Not the way you want to use it...... Actually, it's okay, but I'm talking about the TV series AI face change. β
You Mengli exclaimed:
"Has an actor collapsed? You're so miserable, you encountered such an unlucky thing before the drama was released! β
She also thought that it was the actor's collapse that caused the TV series to be forced to change faces, which is quite common in recent years.
"No, it's just a little angry, just a little willful."
Su Zhe smiled, and after getting You Mengli's permission, he asked with a wicked smile:
"By the way, what time is the plane?"
"Doodoo Dot ......"
Hang so fast.
