China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 299 Acting is a high-risk profession

“DreamWorks Overlord Clause Provokes Public Outrage!”

"A contract binds actors' schedules, and many actors expressed their embarrassment!"

"Li Hanjun complained on Weibo that he didn't have any filming for a year and didn't dare to accept commercial endorsements!"

"DreamWorks forced the actors to do action training and they were covered in bruises!"

“The nation’s daughter reveals the evil deeds of DreamWorks!”

"DreamWorks, which frequently produces hit works, is actually such a company!"

""Black Mirror" came into reality, and the evil dragon turned out to be myself"

"Expressing actors? Domineering contracts? The other side of DreamWorks"

"She's so scarred! Chen Jingxing actually did such a thing to her!"

Tian Xinye was a little puzzled by Chen Jingxing's second sentence. Why do current netizens have such strong sympathy for celebrities, but future netizens will not have strong sympathy for celebrities?

Chen Jingxing shook his head at Tian Xinye's confusion, feeling a little sad in his heart.

Therefore, the media can even openly quote a celebrity's statement on this matter: "Actor is a high-risk profession!"

The reason why Chen Jingxing is so persistent is mainly because he has learned from previous domestic experiences and lessons. Domestic film and television series often lack continuity of actors.

But soon, things began to take a turn for the worse. Two celebrities actually left the show one after another and wrote essays to complain, which directly aroused public opinion.

Creating gods and destroying gods is their job. The higher a god is praised, the more exciting his negative news becomes.

"Signed the deed of betrayal by mistake? Li Hanjun is complaining endlessly!"

That's all. Later, they were asked to sign a long-term contract, and the actors would have to co-star in subsequent episodes of "The Walking Dead" and even movie projects.

This is because after Chen Jingxing discussed cooperation with Universal, he paid more attention to the IP "The Walking Dead", so he asked to talk to the actors and sign a long-term cooperation agreement, that is, if DreamWorks wants to produce and develop a sequel to "The Walking Dead"

And the movie version, then the actors have to cooperate, and of course the remuneration will be renegotiated for each film.

But it did not arouse the interest of the majority of people who eat melons, and no media participated in this topic. After all, at the beginning of the year, from "Mekong" to "Black Mirror" to "The Mirage", DreamWorks released almost non-stop films that were both well-received and well-received.

High-quality works have always been the darling of public opinion. DreamWorks has a tailwind. The general media will not go against the wind unless they understand the situation.

DreamWorks indeed lacks power in the film and television industry. It cannot shut up in the face of such sudden negative public opinion. In fact, even if Jingying Film may be able to suppress most of the media in the face of such an incident, it cannot silence it.

Live the marketing account and the melon-eating masses.

The main reason was that the two leading actors were dissatisfied with Chen Jingxing's insistence on a long contract.

While "Mirage" is still showing in theaters and has even landed in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, it has once again set off a boom in Chinese science fiction movies after last year's "Source Code" and good news is spreading, but DreamWorks, which has unlimited success, is heading towards it.

Caught in a big wave and was surrounded by negative reports.

Most netizens and passers-by didn't pay much attention to these unofficial gossips. No one took them seriously. They were just some snarky people who couldn't stand DreamWorks.

"Many fellow brothers and sisters comforted Ye Shunan on Weibo, and the popular actress bluntly said that acting is a high-risk profession."

Although he did not directly accuse DreamWorks, but spoke in a complaining or understatement tone, it was basically equivalent to direct bombardment.

If we had put it before his time travel, Li Hanjun and Ye Shunan's short compositions and the gentle and calm photos of Jiugongge would have made netizens shout for green tea.

Of course, actors may have objections in their hearts, but they are not intolerable. DreamWorks increased their remuneration for this, which is equivalent to taking part of their salary in vain.

This is equivalent to directly binding the actor's future schedule. If you want to take a role in the future, you have to ask DreamWorks first if there is a sequel or movie project for "The Walking Dead". If there is no conflict in schedules, if there is a conflict in schedules, you can only give up.

In his "Small Essay", Li Hanjun first complained about turning down several movies in order to accept the contract for "The Walking Dead". However, DreamWorks suddenly announced that the production would be postponed for half a year. The several movies he had previously rejected were all finished. "The Walking Dead"

"It hasn't started shooting yet, and I don't dare to take on other dramas during the period.

The most typical example is that many series of IPs have different casts for each drama, which objectively greatly weakens the appeal and commercial value of the IP.

In the short composition of complaints, the three words "contract of betrayal" were directly mentioned.

Both of them have a lot of fans. Li Hanjun has played the male lead in two sweet dramas on Penguin Video. Although he has only filmed online dramas, he has also accumulated a lot of fans and is considered a well-known new generation actor.

As a condition, the annual income of "The Walking Dead" will be distributed to the actors in a certain proportion, thereby tying the actors to this IP.

Ye Shunan is a well-known child star and has a certain national identity. Even though both of them can only be regarded as third-tier or strong third-tier stars, the influence of having a fight in person is still great.

The most important thing is that this long-term contract is not forced. If someone is unwilling to accept it, they can withdraw voluntarily, and DreamWorks will pay compensation according to the high liquidated damages in the previous film contract.

In particular, there are many comments like "I like "Black Mirror"/"Mirage" and so on, but I have to say how good DreamWorks is doing this time."

Li Hanjun and Ye Shunan had not yet signed the agreement, nor had they expressed any objections. The producer also felt that the two of them had no objections. Just before they were about to sign the so-called "sale contract", they suddenly expressed their dissatisfaction with DreamWorks.

The attack shocked everyone at DreamWorks.

In addition, he also had to undergo two months of movement training, which was very intense and felt like it was too much.

And netizens actually didn’t laugh at or object to it.

Then some fans of the actors joined in, confirmed the reliability of the news, and cited the fact that their idols had signed a film contract with DreamWorks. They were originally very happy for the main actor, but the start of the project was delayed for more than half a year, causing delays.

After accepting other film contracts with his idol, he fell into a half-year window.

She is called "the tea among teas" by Chen Jingxing's fans, "She should no longer be called the nation's daughter, she should be called the 'Tea King'!"

After communicating with the producer, he learned that the reason why the two actors suddenly got into trouble was actually not due to a filming delay.

Although the high-priced salaries of celebrities are now well known, the number of houses collapsed is indeed not large, and there is no news about tax evasion.

DreamWorks Chairman's Office.

Moreover, DreamWorks has not restricted actors from taking on other commercial activities or even taking on other movies during this period. As long as they can finish filming before "The Walking Dead" starts, DreamWorks doesn't care.

This, of course, triggered a heated discussion among netizens. Fans of Chen Jingxing and Lu Haofeng of DreamWorks naturally outweigh the fans of the two actors, but Ye Shunan's "covered with bruises" pictures are indeed very impactful. Many even

Netizens who like DreamWorks movies will also murmur in their hearts after seeing it.

When the fans below were distressed and asked how they could suffer such a "serious" injury, Ye Shunan gave the fans an understatement and replied that it was an injury she accidentally sustained while undergoing action training at DreamWorks some time ago, and it is no longer a problem.

, thank the fans for their concern.

It can only be said that today’s netizens are still a bit “innocent”.

"This is indeed my responsibility." Chen Jingxing looked a little annoyed and issued the "Edict of Sin": "But I really didn't expect that today's netizens have such strong sympathy for celebrities."

At the beginning, some marketing accounts released the news in a pretentious manner, saying that DreamWorks forced actors to sign overlord contracts, binding their schedules for the next few years.

Even the complaint of "I can't take on other dramas in half a year" may lead to ridicule from netizens. If you don't look at your acting skills, some movies are good, but your business ability is not that good and you can earn millions or tens of millions a year.

, mockery such as not being satisfied yet.

First, Li Hanjun, the leading actor in DreamWorks' new drama "The Walking Dead", posted a short essay about "Tea Talk". "Tea Talk" refers to fans of Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks - usually these two groups of fans are actually

A group - definition made.

The project "The Walking Dead" was actually started almost at the same time as "Black Mirror" and "Person of Interest". The actors were confirmed before the end of the year and the director was almost confirmed. However, Chen Jingxing himself decided to wait for a while because he valued this work.

Waiting, it would be better to gather the best production team and let Tian Xinye, who was filming "The Mirage" at the time, direct it, so the start of filming was postponed from the end of last year to May this year.

It is absolutely impossible to arouse the sympathy of so many passers-by. Is a bruise that can disappear in a few days without the use of hundreds of southern Yunnan medicines worthy of such a high-profile accusation? Who hasn’t suffered from bruises and bruises when filming action scenes? Don’t accept it if you have the ability.

Money?

Coupled with the exaggeration and distortion of the incident by the media and marketing accounts, as well as the silent dislike of Chen Jingxing among netizens, those who had a rebellious mentality against DreamWorks seized the opportunity to speak out, so the public opinion seemed to be somewhat evenly matched for a while, and even those who supported DreamWorks

The voice is still a little down.

Another actress, Ye Shunan, who also plays a female character in "The Walking Dead", was even more amazing. Instead of posting a short essay, she posted nine photos arranged in a nine-square grid. There were several bruises on her arms and legs in the photos.

I just said something in an understatement: "Diannan Baiyao is really easy to use! It's really good and beneficial, and it was all gone after a week of use!"

But there is no point in complaining in my heart, the matter still needs to be solved, and to a certain extent, the whole thing is indeed his fault.

Naturally, marketing accounts and media swarmed in like sharks that smelled blood. This has nothing to do with their perception of DreamWorks, it’s just their nature to pursue traffic.

Chen Jingxing, who has now become the boss of a film company, understands the reason for this phenomenon.

First of all, in order to reduce costs, the film studio does not want the actors to obtain the bidding capital. For example, in Hollywood sequels, the actor's salary skyrockets like a helicopter, so the management itself is happy to see the success of this model of replacing a batch of actors with each film.

Even if it damages the long-term potential of the IP.

What's more important is that Chinese actors usually don't like to be stuck with one role. If it's a series of commercial blockbusters, it's okay to say that "The Walking Dead" obviously doesn't have this status in most people's hearts.

The only thing worse than being trapped by a character is being trapped by a character from a zombie-themed work.
