Chapter 322 Rules of the Entertainment Industry
If a team can produce movies, it can actually produce TV series.
The biggest difference between the two is actually the director.
In film projects, usually the director is the soul, because he has to participate in the creative process, including which lenses to use to express what during the shooting process, which all require the director to think about.
But for TV drama projects, the director is more likely to be executive-oriented. His execution is higher than creativity. Generally, the producer will only look for a director after the script is formed.
TV dramas are more about the plot, no one cares about the expression of the camera, especially domestic TV dramas, it is already very good if you can pay attention to the editing.
This is also the reason why "Before Dawn" was so popular in my previous life.
The editing techniques of American dramas are fast and sharp, and the plot changes are even faster than those of movies. Of course, people will be unable to stop watching.
I leave you a hook at the end. If you can hook it, you will not be able to eat well and sleep well.
Speaking of this, Zhang Chen suddenly remembered the development history of domestic TV dramas in later generations.
It seems that since 2006, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas have dominated the world. "Double-sided Tape" and "A Beautiful Day as a Daughter-in-law" have become hits one after another. Haiqing started her career by relying on mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas.
All kinds of parents are short-sighted and trivial.
Later, the type of domineering president appeared, which was completely illogical.
The prince and Cinderella, that is a fairy tale, not reality~
Frankly speaking, the two types of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama + domineering president have directly led to the increasing number of little fairies in the country. There are more and more older leftover women, the single rate is getting higher and higher, the cheating rate is getting higher and higher, the divorce rate is getting higher and higher, and the paternity testing rate is getting higher and higher.
He had the outlines of these dramas in his mind, but he was a little unsure whether he should do this type of drama.
There are also the more outrageous "Home Cooking", "Love in the Courtyard" and "My Children, My Home" later on. What are these?
It’s just that the three views are not correct, and there is no good person in it.
"Under the Zhengyang Gate" is similar. Watching Su Meng's family makes people grit their teeth.
It’s hard to calm down.
Forget it, just take it one step at a time. At worst, I will produce more high-quality dramas.
Alas, how can there be so many peaceful years? It’s not all time travelers who are carrying a heavy load.
"Okay, that's all for today. Let's go back to work. Old Dong, I have something else to tell you~"
After sending everyone away, Zhang Chen Then he said: "You need to win the film and television adaptation rights of several novels. One is called "Latent", written by Long Yi, another is called "Aftershock", and another is called "The Lawsuit". The film and television adaptations of these three novels Try to get the rights as much as possible. If it has been sold to someone else, let’s discuss buying it~”
“All good?”
This question was purely a subconscious reaction, and he already had the answer as soon as he said it.
For such a long time, Zhang Chen has proven his vision with continuous success.
Zhang Chen nodded.
Not to mention "Insidious", it is the master of spy dramas.
"Aftershock" is the prototype of Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake".
Zhang Chen grabbed the rights to adapt this novel. On the one hand, he wanted to cut off Feng Xiaogang's Hu character. On the other hand, he also wanted to use this to give China in 2008 a warning in advance.
"The Lawsuit" is the prototype of "Assembly Number". It was Zhang Guoli who first fell in love with this novel and recommended it to Feng Xiaogang as a work for the people of Taihe.
The two later broke up, and Feng Xiaogang took "Assembly" to Huayi, which became a hit after it was filmed.
Xiao Gangpao felt a little guilty about this, and specially invited Zhang Guoli and his family to travel.
But in this life, the people of Taihe fell apart prematurely because of Zhang Chen, and Feng Xiaogang probably has not had the opportunity to come into contact with this novel.
After explaining this, Dong Jianqiang was about to say something when Zhang Chen's phone rang. It was Zhang's father calling.
He made an apologetic gesture: "Wait a moment, my dad's phone call..."
Zhang Chen answered:
"Xiaochen, why are you talking to me? What my friend's daughter said was true. After answering your call, she changed her mind and stopped making noises about going to Nortel."
Zhang Chen gave a wry smile: "What else can I say? I'll just tell the truth and tell her some dirty things in the entertainment industry. If she can accept it, then I won't stop her. If she can't accept it, change the direction as soon as possible... ”
"What a dirty trick, can you tell me specifically? I'm curious, and my old friend is also curious, but if I ask her daughter, she won't tell me no matter what I ask~"
Zhang Chen smiled bitterly again: " Dad, I can’t tell you too specific details, but they are basically unspoken rules, but they are more detailed and may be different from the entertainment industry she imagined, so she gave up~"
What did he and his father say about this topic?
Does it mean that actresses in the industry have to sleep with them if they want to be famous?
Don’t say whether she is popular or not, even if you want to get a chance, you have to sleep with her.
In this circle, you have to be brave enough to get ahead.
Being good-looking means nothing in this industry. The most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is good-looking skin.
In this huge Vanity Fair, the supply of human flesh resources always exceeds the demand. There are too many young men and women who are young, think that they are young and beautiful, and fantasize about being big stars, just like the ones in the fields. Crops and leeks are harvested one after another, and there is no end to them...
If he really dared to say that, his father would definitely ask him: "What about you, have you cut the leeks?"
How will he answer then?
Could it be said that I am the sharpest sickle?
After all, his father may not do anything to him, but his mother will definitely beat him to death.
Little bastard, you are playing with women’s surnames~
But that’s how this world works.
In this circle, it is normal to regard mating as socializing. If you can't let it go, you will never have a chance to get ahead.
Going to bed is equivalent to handing in a resume.
It’s not certain whether it will succeed or not. At most, it’s just a familiar face.
His dad will definitely ask why such a mess has never been exposed.
Of course.
There is a person named Zhang Yu who has been exposed. It is useless. If you can attract those well-known directors and have some traffic, the people who lurked her are passers-by who have never heard of her name. Who will care.
The final result was that this person completely disappeared from the entertainment industry, and this person has never been traced again.
Those people he exposed did whatever they were supposed to do, and they were still enjoying the hot food.
This is the rule. Individuals should not challenge the rules.
In China, hugging people a little bit is called unspoken rules. Overseas, people have a special term called ‘red sofa’.
Dong Jianqiang saw Zhang Chen’s expression was strange and asked, “What’s wrong?”
"Nothing. One of my dad's friend's kids wants to be a star, so I gave her a job?" "Coal boss?"
"Yeah."
Zhang Chen sighed: "The coal boss is rich, but it's useless to have money. Isn't Jing Tian rich enough? But at most, he doesn't need to be lurked, but it's not that simple to become famous."
Dong Jianqiang Shen Take it for granted.
He has seen many girls like this, and he also acts as a sickle when nothing happens.
"By the way, when are you leaving?"
"In two days, they have urged me several times, but I have to settle my parents."< br>
Dong Jianqiang felt a little regretful: "Well, "Hurricane Rescue" should have exceeded 200 million in a few days, why don't you just wait until after the celebration banquet before leaving..."
Zhang Chen waved his hand: "Forget it. Come on, you can have the celebration party as you should, I really don’t know.”
"Taken" is still in theaters, with a box office approaching 190 million, but no one is paying attention to the box office.
Because everyone feels that they deserve the title.
The action scenes and gunfight scenes in "Hurricane" are really outstanding.
Not only are there comments in China, but also abroad.
Yes, "Hurricane" was released abroad after more than half a month's delay.
20th World Fox is very confident in "Hurricane", with 2,500 theaters opening the film.
"Hurricane" has been a hot topic since its release. It has been a long time since people have seen such a hot action movie.
Some media have already shouted the slogan - "Taken" redefines action drama.
It is even more serious when the news reaches China.
"This is only the first week. It is said that the number of theaters will increase to 3,200 next week..." Dong Jianqiang was excited when talking about this.
Zhang Chen is also very happy. Although the box office has nothing to do with him and he can only earn a reputation at most, it will definitely be good for his next movies.
With the successful example of "Hurricane", I believe "A Quiet Place" will sell better.
The next day, there was news in the industry that Star Entertainment was preparing to launch a new drama with a spy war theme.
The espionage theme is definitely not popular, but there are many people asking about it.
That’s how it is in the circle.
You have succeeded, and as long as you have not failed, then everyone believes that you will continue to succeed.
What is the subject matter?
Before "Wulin Gaiden", there had never been a costume sitcom in China, but it was still made popular by Star Entertainment.
So this spy drama, people also believe that it will be a hit drama.
Along with this news came an audition invitation for "Search".
It has been made clear that Zhang Chen is only a producer in name, but he is still flocking to it.
Zhang Chen's name is so famous in the film industry that all female stars believe that as long as they hook up with Zhang Chen, they can soar to the sky.
Fan Xiaopang is the best proof.
Didn’t she, a firewood girl who could only play the role of a maid, get her start after climbing into Zhang Chen’s bed?
Zhao Yanzi received an audition invitation~
Gao Yuanyuan also received an audition invitation~
At the same time, they also heard some gossip. Zhao Yanzi seemed to be recommended by Zhang Guoli, and Gao Yuanyuan was recommended by Zhang Chen.
But this time it seems that the leading party is not Zhang Chen, but Zhang Guoli.
Of course the actresses who came to audition were not only these two, but also some others, all with various relationships.
Of course they also heard the gossip.
But no one believes in fate.
Everyone believes that as long as you give me a fulcrum, I can move the earth.
Give me a chance and I can swim upstream.
Didn’t you hear that Zhang Chen just suggested Gao Yuanyuan, and it didn’t mean that it had to be her, so there would still be a chance.
Who doesn’t know how to cut off Hu?
This time, the one who was most anxious was Gao Yuanyuan.
The agent asked from the side: "How is your relationship with Mr. Zhang Guoli?"
Da Meiyuan thought for a while: "Generally, although we have worked together on "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword", we There are almost no opposite roles, only a few words have been spoken, and he is considered a familiar face..."
Su Youpeng's version of "Yi Tian", Damei Yuan is Zhou Zhiruo, and Zhang Guoli is Cheng Kun.
The agent hates that iron cannot be made into steel: "No wonder people don't recommend you, but recommend Zhao Yanzi."
Damei Yuan was worried: "What are my chances of winning?"
The agent said bluntly: "It's hard to say, Zhao Yanzi's acting skills are inferior to yours, and I heard that it is Zhang Guoli who has the final say this time."
Da Meiyuan frowned when she heard this: "Then what should I do?"
After listening to her agent's analysis two days ago, she also felt that she should not always make literary films. In order to transform into commercial films, Star Entertainment is the only one that seeks defeat and dominates the entire film industry.
"Since Zhang Chen has recommended you, it means that he is optimistic about you. But "Search" is not a blockbuster, so it is probably not high in his mind.
But this is your best chance.
I'll find a way for you to get in touch with him and make friends first. Didn't you say you liked "Hurricane Rescue" two days ago? You are a fan of Zhang Chen. It shouldn't be a big deal if a fan meets his idol..."
As Gao Yuanyuan's manager, he understands this very well.
You tell her that it won’t work if she sacrifices herself
But Gao Yuanyuan is a love brain.
As long as Gao and Zhang Chen are brought into contact, it will be difficult not to fall deeply into it with Gao's temperament.
This is a person who has a strong desire to explore and likes to take control of his own strengths and weaknesses.
Let’s talk and talk. Based on Zhang Chen’s reputation, isn’t it time to get the role?
