Become a dramatist from today

The "Fish Grand Ceremony" within Whale Entertainment invites many celebrities to participate. It is an event that combines the swearing-in ceremony at the beginning of the year with the company's publicity conference.

At the ceremony, the company's CEO, Mr. Su, reviewed the company's results last year and summarized revenue of 410 million. At the same time, it also looked forward to the new year and announced five films to be produced, including the information that "Seven Me" will star Huang Baiyou.

After the news spread, it triggered a small range of attention and heated discussions.

Most people focus on revenue capabilities. After some inquiries from netizens, they learned that the revenue of one of the industry leaders, Enlight, was only over 600 million yuan last year, not to mention Tangde Film and Television and Hengdian Film and Television, whose revenue last year was less than 300 million yuan. , simply not comparable.

However, Tangde Film and Television is a major company in Jiangsu and Zhejiang circles. It has produced many wonderful period dramas that are familiar to the audience, and Hengdian Film and Television is the third largest theater chain in China.

Hengdian Cinema is much better than Jinyi Cinema. A simple comparison shows that Hengdian Film and Television is stronger than Jinyi Cinema. Even so, its revenue is not as good as that of Whale Entertainment.

So the question is, why is it?

"With an annual revenue of 410 million, I finally understand why Whale Entertainment is so happy to make bad movies. Why wouldn't it be happy if it makes money?", "How does Whale Entertainment make money? Is it more profitable to make bad movies than to make good movies?", "Who is giving them money? Could it be...", "Bad money drives out good money, bad movies make more money than good ones, so who makes good movies?"...

There are also serious netizens who investigated and left a message: "I went to see Whale's annual report last year. Unlike other entertainment companies, it does not rely on copyright income, but live broadcast sales account for the majority..."

When encountering something that is unacceptable, we must discuss it. The resourceful people who eat melons have dug into the bottom of Whale Entertainment's profit method.

The current industry chain of contempt is: movie actors \u003e TV drama actors = singers \u003e variety shows \u003e models \u003e Internet celebrities. It is clearly visible that Internet celebrities are the lower end of the chain of contempt. However, the ability of big Internet celebrities to monetize goods cannot even match those of top-tier celebrities. In this case Why not incubate internet celebrities?

When Whale Entertainment was founded, it was originally intended to be an internet celebrity. If a big internet celebrity "suddenly" becomes the second female lead in an idol drama, no matter how good the drama is, it will definitely be good for the internet celebrity.

I believe it can also be seen that Whale Entertainment’s drama is bad. In addition to the script, there are also disasters for the actors...

Therefore, mixed with # Why Whale Entertainment can earn 410 million in revenue # , there is another small hot topic. Fans of Huang Baiyou, or passers-by who have expectations for the actor, saw this news and felt differently. .

"What can Whale Entertainment do?"

"Bai Emperor, be careful!"

"It's hell ahead. Whale Entertainment's movies don't have a 4-point rating, right?"

"Obviously, with the two characters Lin Pingzhi and Lu Yi as background, we can have better development. Why did we choose to accept the script from Whale Entertainment? Are we so short of money?"

etc.

Some fans speculated that it was an arrangement by the agency, so they organized a group to protest at Tianyu Media. However, Huang Baiyou's fan group "White Tea" was weak in combat effectiveness, and the protest did not make any waves.

An unorganized and undisciplined fan club poses no threat at all. This aspect can be borrowed from some of the top players, and how exaggerated it is...

Huang Baiyou didn't even know about his fan club. Conventionally, the organization of a fan club requires a management company. He learned about his cooperation with Whale Entertainment not much earlier than netizens.

Probably last night, Huang Baiyou received the script of "Seven Me" in his mailbox. As for the producer, he really didn't know who it was. The original contract signed with the agency meant that he couldn't even choose the script, let alone the agency.

The producer is Whale Entertainment... Huang Baiyou thought of the fear of being dominated by dirty things that night.

"In that case, let's eat first." Huang Baiyou went to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast. He used this time to read through the script. He unexpectedly discovered that the script required very high acting skills for the protagonist, which was more difficult to play than Lu Yi's role.

Although the plot has some flaws and a few logical flaws, the overall script is well completed, at least several levels higher than "The Swordsman".

"If it works well, this drama may become my masterpiece. One person plays seven roles, and it spans the ages and genders of middle-aged people, girls, and boys, and has various personalities. If it succeeds, it will be famous all over the world. It exploded." Huang Baiyou was not happy about this, his face was still thinking.

On the one hand, they were all upset, and Tianyu Media could not give him good resources; on the other hand, Huang Baiyou did not believe that the screenwriters of Whale Entertainment could write good scripts.

I don’t mean to target a certain scriptwriter of Whale Entertainment, but I just look at the scripts of Whale Entertainment. Which one is normal?

"If I remember correctly, Weibo pushed me a message last time..."

Huang Baiyou took out his mobile phone and searched for [Whale Entertainment, plagiarism]. The news that appeared contained a lot of information. The most recent one was: Whale Entertainment lost the lawsuit, and "Classmates" was judged to be plagiarized. Whale Entertainment needs to pay 1 million yuan in compensation...

Whale Entertainment was a habitual plagiarist and was often sued, so Huang Baiyou was mentally prepared.

If you want to copy it, you will definitely cut off the beginning and the end, and you will definitely have to change the name, but the core idea will not change.

[Seven Personalities TV series], Huang Baiyou started to search, and the results were all promotional articles for "Seven Me". It was obvious that Whale Entertainment had paid for it.

It wasn't until the second page that Huang Baiyou saw different content: "Kill Me, Heal Me", a Korean drama with a score of 8.5, where seven personalities live in one body.

"Korean drama?"

Huang Baiyou found the resources from the Internet and was going to shoot now, so he cached them first. Today's shooting location was Qiannan Normal University for Nationalities, and the nanny van that the crew came to pick up and drop off was already waiting.

The morning shooting didn't go well because Jiang Suining's child couldn't get into the scene.

"It doesn't matter, at least you at least know why you were NGed. I was NGed more than 30 times in a row during filming. I even doubted my life during the reshoot. In the end, I asked the director with tears in my eyes, how should I act? Then the director said Just shoot as usual.”

Deng Gangce, who plays opposite him, plays Han Chunchun's father Han Xian. Apart from his bad luck, as a veteran actor, he has no shortcomings. At this moment, he takes the initiative to use his own experience to enlighten Jiang Suining.

"Thank you, Uncle Deng."

Jiang Suining kept taking deep breaths to relieve herself of the pressure. She couldn't get into the drama, partly because she didn't want to get into the drama and was particularly resistant to the plot she was going to perform.

Director Zhou Xiaochun didn't dare to lose his temper anymore because of his previous experience of Jiang's mother suddenly appearing out of nowhere and then unreasonably asking her children to apologize. Just thinking about it, he felt that this woman was too... abnormal.

Zhou Xiaochun decided to let Jiang Suining go to the side to get a feel for it and shoot other scenes first.

At lunch time, the crew starts packing lunches, and the leading actors can make small-scale customizations. For example, Li Menglu’s staple food is basically mashed potatoes and pasta.

"Auntie." Huang Baiyou walked over and greeted Jiang's mother first.

"I think Suining had some problems during the filming just now, so I wanted to take advantage of the lunch break to chat." Huang Baiyou said.

"That's really troublesome for Teacher Huang. Everyone recognizes Teacher Huang's acting skills. With Teacher Huang's guidance, my girl will definitely be fine." Mother Jiang was very happy.
