Doomsday Bosses Win the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 1280: Read the script (Part 2)

Latest website:

"It's great." Qin Jue closed the folder.

After two seconds, he turned back to the first page and read the writer's signature.

The name is quite memorable. The fifth surname is the fifth antelope.

I don’t know if it’s a real name or a pseudonym.

"Crazy." Qin Jue laughed softly, "Not bad."

It's a crazy script, and the pun at the end is particularly wonderful.

This kind of calm madness is different from the styles of Yuan Xiao and He Jiayi. You want to summarize a theme, but the theme is quickly rejected. You want to understand the core idea, and soon the film tells you to stop blindly understanding and do some reading. Understand, this world is a huge lunatic.

It seems crazy, but in fact the framework remains intact. The overall plot development and rhythm control are like the name of the screenwriter, with a rushing wild aura.

This guy is either a deranged lunatic or an absurdist genius.

Miss Antelope submitted her manuscript via email, and the postscript in the email was generous and generous.

As for the criminal investigation theme, which focuses on combating crime and eradicating evil, the showrunners offered Qin Jue an olive branch for a supporting actor from a certain villain camp.

After finishing writing, he signed his name with flying colors and handed the piece of paper to Hu Changchai:

"Scan it into a picture and put it in an email attachment to reply to her."

After thinking for a while, he said, "If she wants something in kind, just pack it up and send it over."

For the film about anti-corruption with an official background, the show gave Qin Jue two scripts. One was about a supporting actor in many group portraits, and the other was about the youth of an important character.

Besides, that domineering boss has a secretary.

"Yeah, if I'm in my right mind, can I hang out with Frandy?" She grinned.

It turns out that the male protagonist was the female protagonist's apprentice in his previous life, and he voluntarily fell into the devil's path in order to save the female protagonist.

For example, the first Xianxia movie.

The first line: Teacher Qin, I have nothing but a script. If you want to make this thing, you can make it yourself.

Qin Jue looked for the information attachment in a good mood. As expected, this script was not submitted normally. It was not a film and television project that had been approved. There was no creative team. From beginning to end, there was only one screenwriter, uh, an antelope.

Such a male protagonist is attracted by an intellectual and intelligent female secretary, but because he does not know how to pursue a girl, he makes a series of ridiculous straight man operations, and finally achieves success with the female secretary with his clumsy sincerity.

The attached page of the information also specifically states that the highlight of this film is that the domineering, cold and arrogant noble man repeatedly falls over and hits the wall, and the main theme is a contrasting cuteness.

First of all, the synopsis and label seem familiar. At a glance, you can tell that it is an official star drama that Liu Zhe mentioned before.

Qin Absolute's role assignment is not surprising. When choosing actors, they are inappropriate if the objective conditions are not suitable. You cannot just rely on acting skills, makeup and lighting.

"Okay." Hu Changchai just obeyed the order and didn't ask any questions.

According to politeness, I should express some thoughts on your work, but my recent mental disorder is too normal, mediocre and boring, so you can just read this note first.

But such works are like pre-made dishes. The lower limit is guaranteed, but the upper limit is just there. The most diners can say is "This dish is edible and tastes not bad." When it comes to the kind of "come here all the time just for it" "Eat this delicious meal", almost no one considers pre-made dishes.

Qin Jue casually tore off a piece of the title page and wrote back:

Her strength is here. The most common complaints made by fans and passers-by are that the plot is smooth and has no memory points, and the male protagonists are homogeneous. However, because the quality of the work is above par and the clichés are clichéd without making any big mistakes, they still have audiences and fans. The number will also rise steadily.

Qin Jue looked at these scripts and knew in his heart that they were quite qualified as commercial films. Whether it was Xianxia, ​​Youth City or something else, as long as he was willing to spend money on special effects and costumes, recruit a team of mid-to-high-end directors, and find two An actor with decent acting skills will definitely have a good final impression.

The audience is not stupid, even if they don't say it, deep down in their hearts, they know that this kind of movie can only be watched for fun, and it is not worthy of being a "hit" or a "masterpiece".

Then we skipped a few plots where the overbearing male protagonist really caught the female protagonist but couldn't do it, and a flashback kill in the middle and late stages brought about the reversal.

The male protagonist Qin Jue invited was a demon cultivator. In the early stage, he was entangled with the kind and gentle female protagonist.

Of course there is no conflict between the two.

Actually speaking in detail, the first six male protagonists are not domineering presidents in the literal sense, but their characteristics and core are actually similar.

He added that it was precisely because he felt that such a Tianlong male protagonist would look stupid and annoying if he didn't grasp the "degree" well, so he wanted to invite a capable actor like Qin Jue to star.

Second line: After watching "Day Rain", I feel that your mental state is not very good, but fortunately I am the same.

This movie is positioned as a youth fashion urban comedy. The male protagonist is a classic returnee elite who returns to China to inherit the family business. He is a financial genius and an emotional idiot.

Given the priority of the roles, there is not much space for these three characters to play, and their shaping is relatively flat.

If Qin Jue has fewer dramas, it would be good to play these mediocre roles to refresh/transition/maintain the sense of drama.

However, since there are choices now, and the options are many and broad, Qin Jue naturally wants to get involved with some new and challenging roles.

Let’s watch the two TV series in hand first.

Among the remaining seven books, there are two dramas, two award-winning movies, and three commercial films. The genres and themes have finally become diversified. The roles that the film studio invited Qin Jue to play also have different roles and personalities. Unlike just now There is a swarm of bosses in a meeting, and one glance shows that they are not very interested.

Take a look at the character design, and the key words are paranoid, domineering, possessive, either short-talking or low in emotional intelligence. Finally, he will kill you with a red eye, and the bracketed acting skills will explode and the highlights will be bracketed.

The first supporting actor is a typical "sacrificial type".

After reading the character setting and plot outline, Qin Jue was silent.

Qin Jue then read the script.

She is only twenty years old now, so she is extremely young. Such age and appearance doomed her to miss out on the main roles and heavyweight supporting roles in these two serious dramas where veteran drama stars compete together.

In short, it’s time to clean up and sensationalize, the two of them are HE.

The two lines of words made Qin Jue very happy.

He first entered the officialdom, full of enthusiasm and wholeheartedly thinking about serving the people. He thought he had the favor of the leader, but in fact he was used as a **** by the superiors. In the end, he died unjustly and unjustly. He is the descendant of thousands of kind-hearted and naive idealists. miniature.

The second character is the "memory killing type".

It is said that a certain high-ranking official was once a fool. Later, after experiencing many changes, he was forced to understand the principle of "in this environment, if you want to accomplish something, you must first do what you don't want to do." , so he gritted his teeth and endured for his ideal.

But he didn't want to have a long journey, and at the end of the journey he would be lost. By the time he realized it, he had already gone astray, going against who he was before.

The third villain supporting role is the "foolish and loyal younger brother type".

He never takes other people's lives or legal provisions seriously, he only cares about his family and friends. He helps his relatives but does not help them when things are going wrong.

Later, he crossed the line because of greed and stupidity, and the villain leader failed to restrain him. He felt that this brother would do something bad sooner or later, so he eliminated the hidden dangers in advance and used a trick to silence him.

Qin Jue put these three scripts aside.

It’s not a good review, I’ll think about it again.

From a utilitarian point of view, the first of the three characters is the most "perfect". It can be said that the meaning of his existence in this drama is to earn the tears and sighs of the audience, and at the same time show how cannibalistic the environment is.

With such a character and ending, you don't have to think about it to know how much heartache, regret, and love it will cause after it is broadcast. It is an excellent choice for actors to attract fans.

But Qin Jue is not acting to attract fans.

She has actually played similar characters before. Whether it is Brother Qin in "The Empty Monument" or Qin in "The Furnace", they all have similarities with this character. They are the "broken beauty" most common in tragedies.

It's not impossible to play a similar role again, but it just feels... a bit too much for my comfort zone.

As for the latter two, the former is similar to the situation of Chi Na in "The Cage". He only needs to complete the first half of the role. If he does not consider off-site issues such as whether rejecting will offend the crew and whether he should give up getting to know and communicate with veteran actors, etc., Qin Jue can act or not.

After all, there are too few scenes, more like a guest appearance, Qin Jue is just an introduction, and the majority is with the veteran actor.

As for the last one, to be honest, the intention of the invitation sent by the show is quite obvious.

They want controversy.

To put it bluntly, if this "foolish and loyal boy" were to be chosen from among the extras, he would be the most common tool man cannon fodder in film and television works.

But if Qin Jue plays the role, it will become:

"Woohoo, so stupid, crazy, a wild dog, what to do with him and hate! Finally, the boss who loved and worshiped in the heart was too abused!"

…So sometimes it’s better for actors not to be too handsome.

The experience of playing Mo Sen and Hans both taught Qin Jue one truth:

In this face-based world, the face is good-looking, the characters and plot are indescribable, and the characters (in the eyes of some people) initially have their own fashionable value.

Comments from home and online popped up in front of my eyes.

[Brown hair + sickly white skin + mute sweet voice + personality breakdown after being bullied, the ultimate sense of brokenness is so astringent! 】

[Hehehehe, the down-and-out and unloved little prince transformed into a sinister and scheming careerist. It’s hard not to get such an interesting setting! 】

ah. Pain Mask.

Qin Jue sighed quietly and pulled his attention away from his memories.

He lowered his head and touched his nose. He didn't really want to accept this role.

In fact, the role of "Foolish and Loyal Brother" is not like the previous two, which requires a young man. The screenwriter wants to change him to a man in his thirties or forties. In fact, it will work, and there will be no delay. The supporting actor plays his plot role.

Anyway, put it aside for now. The project is still in the preparatory stage anyway and there are many variables, so there is no rush.

Qin Jue continued to look down.

The following two films that are competing for awards are, as expected, both art films. The introduction of the first one is very stream-of-consciousness, and the writing style of the invitation also reveals the unique spontaneity of art film directors - the script has not yet been decided, and it needs to be filmed. I haven’t thought about anything yet. Anyway, will you come?

Qin Jingbang blinked at the few thin pages of paper in his hand and went straight to the notes on the attached page.

"Gu Yiyan." She whispered.

This name is by no means unfamiliar to Qin. Gu Yiyan is also a very famous director in Longzhou, but this person can be said to be both famous and infamous. The former is because of his strength and performance, and the latter It's because of his "bad habits" that have been going on for ten years and are well known both inside and outside the industry.

In a word, I am an old ticket bouncer.

Making a movie depends entirely on "the power of my thinking." If you don't have inspiration today, you won't make a movie, and if you don't have the mood tomorrow, you'll stop working.

No film directed by Gu Yiyan has ever been filmed as scheduled according to the schedule.

Here, it is common for a movie to drag on for three to five years. Sometimes the original investors have gone bankrupt and his crew has not finished production.

When the actor joined Gu Yiyan's team, he couldn't exert any subjective initiative at all. He could only wait, wait, and wait for a certain day and time. The great director was favored by the muse and woke up the entire crew like a convulsion. Work begins, then I put on make-up to listen to the performance and enter the performance area, shoot a few things that I don't understand, and then go back to rest with exhaustion and resentment.

Then he returned to the daily routine of waiting, doing nothing every day but having to be on standby at all times, waiting for Gu Yiyan's next convulsion.

Many actors ran away midway because they couldn't stand this kind of crazy style, and the same was true for some crew members. There were many people who gave up on the job halfway through. Therefore, the crew led by Gu Yiyan always went through many twists and turns, and the situation was full of situations. .

But Gu Yiyan's talent allows him to be so unbridled. As the chief director and chief screenwriter, the number of his works is shockingly small, but all of them are excellent. As long as he can make them, there will be no one who won't win awards.

Because of this, some people call him the King of Hell, an honorific title, which means that he is a top-notch cultivator from the beginning to the end of every film. No matter whether you are a manager, an actor or a staff member, a few people will die anyway, and spiritual death is also death.

There are also good people who have compiled statistics on Gu Yiyan's **** history - on average, for every ten films that were shot or aborted under the hands of this great director, one stunning masterpiece will be released.

So much so that now, as soon as Gu Yiyan says he wants to make something, some people immediately start betting on whether this movie will be a **** or whether it will be aborted and sacrificed for the next one. If it is aborted, it will be able to survive for how long. In the process, the actors will be outnumbered. several.

Qin Jue: "..." Reject it.

She herself doesn't mind taking a big gamble, but Yue Yang's "The Legend of the Seven" is still in preparation and she has an appointment. She can't put all other things on hold as Gu Yiyan asked. During the filming process He was on standby at any time, blindly watching his fate, until a movie was completely finished.

Gu Yiyan is more suitable for actors who are desperate.

Qin is definitely not short of prizes, so there is no need to accompany him to raise Gu.

She also believed that with Gu Yiyan's status and strength, as long as the news was spread, the actors who would audition would be as good as her.

Qin Jue continued to scroll down.

As luck would have it, the situation for the next drama that was offered for prizes was exactly the opposite.

The director who invited her was in a similar state to Jiang Shuming last year, but Jiang Shuming had been living in his comfort zone for many years. Once he woke up, he made up his mind to find Cen Yi and use "The Cage" to preach. According to Mori Ran's investigation, the director has exhausted his talents and is deteriorating. He urgently needs an award-winning film to save his reputation and reputation.

To put it cruelly, Gu Yiyan is not inferior to Qin Jue, but this director is inferior to Qin Jue. In other words, he desperately needs and even must hire a main actor who can handle the situation, otherwise this movie will most likely suffer.

But... being able to create such a situation just shows that the director does not have enough confidence in his own abilities.

Qin Jue was not arrogantly speculating, she had evidence, and the evidence was the unsealed autographed letter from the director that she held in her hand.

This letter was written with such sincerity that I wished I could give Qin Jue a piece of cake for every word.

He almost said, "If you can come, I promise to give you another movie star."

Qin Jue's mood after reading it was full stop.

She could see that the person on the other side was in dire straits and was really in a desperate situation, but she had no obligation to be a good person.

Experience tells Qin Jue not to get close to a drowning person if you are not sure enough, regardless of whether the other person will take you into the water. Even if you save him, but the rescue is a little late, he will have 10,000 reasons to resent you and put him in the water. All faults are placed on you.

"I can't help." Qin Jue said as he put down the folder and handwritten letter.

If the director had read with sincerity and confidence rather than cajoling and pleading, she might have considered the film.

The last three scripts were commercial action films, commercial drama films, and commercial special effects films.

The reason why they are separated from the previous commercial dramas is because the roles that Qin Jue was invited to play in these three films are not of the boss type, and there are no romance scenes.

This is the first action movie. The script Qin Jue received was for an important supporting character who is both an enemy and a friend of the protagonist. There is nothing interesting about the characters. In short, it is car battles, fierce car battles, gun battles, fierce gun battles, and fierce fighting scenes. During the fight, he was let go by the protagonist, and he was deeply moved, so he blocked a shot for the protagonist at the critical moment of the decisive battle.

I don’t know whether I will die or not, it has an open ending.

As for the second feature film and the third special effects film, Qin Jue's roles in them are the heroine's ex-boyfriend and the leader of the protagonist team respectively.

Her script only has one or two pages, because strictly speaking this is not a film contract, but a "special guest appearance".

Even if the producer wanted to hire a well-known and well-known celebrity to boost the movie's box office, they designed a separate character who only had a few minutes of scenes and was insignificant to the plot, so that the supporting guests could appear naturally in the main film. A face.

This kind of operation is often done in commercial films. Qin Jue thought about it and thought that if the time could be arranged, he would go to both.

There is no special reason. In the former feature film, Ding Mingqian plays the male lead, and in the latter special effects film, Su Su is a member of the protagonist group. You can post either.jpg

But I have to tell everyone in advance when the time comes, lest some people be misled by the promotional materials and rush to buy tickets as soon as they see Qin Jue's name.

Although this is the means and purpose of "special guest appearance", "I went for Qin Jue, but found that there were only a few sporadic scenes in the film", which still feels like a bit of a scam.

In short, try to remind you with two words.

The right to know is important. Knowing that there are few scenes but still willing to watch it is a voluntary act; being played with word games so that expectations are dashed is an injustice.

It feels aggrieved and depressing to eat dumb, so I don’t eat if I can.

Qin Jue went through the possible situations and the details that needed to be paid attention to in his mind, and then he picked up a pen and sketched out the final summary list of drama appointments just like he did with the announcement invitation.

Those with a check mark are ready for negotiation, those with a cross are declined, and those with a cross are left pending.

Commander Chai collected a bunch of documents and turned the computer screen around: "Team Qin, Director Zeng sent us news that "The Melting Pot" will join the team in late January next year."

"good."

Qin Jue quickly browsed through the process arrangement. Makeup photos, script reading, and live shooting were all familiar to her.

"The showrunners of "Sword and Shadow" would like to invite you to their game company for an interview. The location is in Hong Kong City, and the date is tentatively scheduled for November 20th."

Qin Jue thought for a while: "Okay."

Then he asked: "How are the early preparations over there? Are there any estimates for the start-up time and finalization time?"

"The news I heard so far is that the drama studio is trying to start filming in May next year." Hu Changchai replied.

"Fight for it." Qin Jue repeated.

"They encountered a little problem." Hu Changchai called up the information.

To put it simply, when I was working on the project, I didn’t expect Qinyi Technology to suddenly announce the “Revival of Old Films” plan. Artists under the age of 28 in the entertainment industry have a heightened sense of crisis, and they are sending resumes everywhere to grab resources, so... the casting process is stuck. Machine.

Qin Jue laughed.

It's not surprising that this happens. "Sword and Shadow" is positioned as a costumed fairy tale drama with a male protagonist, not an idol drama. Its plot is adapted from the main line of online games. Although it does not lack emotional drama, it is compared to those sweet and sugary dramas. With the configuration of an ancient puppet show, the emotional drama in this drama is more "serious drama". In other words, everything serves the main line.

Film and television works with main lines >CP are usually not listed as priority options for receiving scripts by popular star teams.

Because traffic stars feed off the fan economy, the reason why they have the right to speak in idol dramas is because such dramas have nothing to see except selling their faces and CP, and their income mainly depends on fans and mindless sugar consumption to pass the time. The audience pays.

Although the main plot of "Sword Shadow Prodigy" is vulgar, it is no less exciting. If a popular star joins the cast, there is a high possibility that not only will he not get any benefits in terms of CP, but he will also be criticized by the audience for his poor acting skills.

In this situation where the harm outweighs the benefits, the team naturally knows what choice to make.

But now times are different, and more and more old works will be renovated and seen and loved by young audiences.

Then people will find that the characters in the previous "idol dramas" are vivid and three-dimensional, the plots are interlocking, there is laughter, cruelty and logic. Pure love is really pure love. It is two beautiful handsome guys who have gone through various delicate processes. It took complex psychological changes and emotional development before they solemnly and sincerely exchanged vows of love.

Instead of accidentally meeting each other because of a vulgar misunderstanding, after only a few days of knowing each other, they suddenly became jealous, sad, and possessive, and the confessions quickly entered the sweet, greasy, and contentless industrial saccharine time.

Can artists who make bad dramas not know that they are making bad dramas?

They and their team know better than anyone else that after the audience has eaten the good stuff, it will be difficult to go back to the bad stuff.

Therefore, "Sword Shadow Talent", a costumed fairy tale drama with a lot of emotions and a large audience, suddenly became the first choice for many artists trying to transform.

"I wish them good luck in casting," Qin Jue said.

She remembered that the auditions for the first and second female leads in "The Prodigy of the Sword" were scheduled until December, and she didn't know if they had to be postponed due to "overloaded resumes".

Last night, Yue Yang sent a message saying that Zhu Zishu is still polishing the script of "The Legend of the Seven Heroes", and the filming will not start until October or November next year at the earliest.

If "Sword Shadow" continues to progress as usual, Qin Jue will just finish filming "The Furnace" and start "Sword Shadow", and finish "Sword Shadow" and move on to "The Seven Heroes".

Hu Changchai nodded and continued:

"'Super Power' is still working on advertising plans, and they said they would try to send us the candidate plans before the 14th, and strive to complete the endorsement shoot before the 20th."

Qin Jue nodded: "I have no problem here."

Sports drinks are not as troublesome as the Eagle series of jackets, and the "Super Power" family is not as rich as Kou Ze Shufang. The filming of this endorsement commercial will not take too long.

"Finally, "Daytime Rain" will be officially launched on all major long-form video platforms at 10 a.m. tomorrow, and special content such as behind-the-scenes filming will be released simultaneously, and you can pay to unlock it."

"Time flies so fast." Qin Jue sighed.

The release of "Daytime Rain" is about the same as that of "The Scaled Man". They are both at the end of October. Today is November 11th. Calculating the days, it is indeed the time for the film to be released online.

Suddenly remembering something, Qin Jue called out:

"Aran."

She briefly recalled, "I put the live broadcast clip of me watching the behind-the-scenes of "Feiyan" on my home homepage. It was the part where I told Ming Qian that it was better to just praise someone's awesomeness than to feel sorry for him."

The four words "Execution Complete" light up quickly in the middle of the phone screen, flash twice and then disappear automatically.

"I hope it can be of some use." Qin Jue sighed.

She looked really unwatchable when she was filming "Daytime Rain". Not to mention the opposite actors He Chang and You Guangcheng, even Tang Ting and makeup artist Xu Ying were so scared. We don't know when the behind-the-scenes of the filming will be released tomorrow. It will cause psychological shadow to many Qingqing.

But Qin Jue really didn't want to go on the live broadcast and tell everyone not to worry about her. First, even if the ladies didn't listen, she was almost tired of saying it. Second, the situation was so serious that normal people would Shockingly, she actually had no position to tell everyone to suppress their worries and sadness.

I can only hint at it in passing.

Feeling distressed is worse than affirmation, worrying is worse than blessing.

Because words are powerful, take for example Qin Jue's illness on the set of the eighth episode of "Shadow Link". Some Qingqing learned the news from certain channels and rushed into the question area to say:

【Ah ah ah ah are you okay? I’m really afraid that you’ll die while filming #大cry#大cry]

...It's hard to describe how Qin Jue felt when he saw such words.

Did she say that the other party didn't care about her? No, it was obvious that Qingqing opposite was frightened to death and was worried and scared from the bottom of her heart.

However, from the perspective of Qin Jue, the person involved, this does not sound very good.

"Curse Worry" has always been difficult for obedient people to respond appropriately.

"Can you really do it?", "Why don't you do it?", "Aren't I afraid that you will have an accident?"...etc., etc., the person who said these words undoubtedly has a good intention, but it is invisible. The words used in it convey the meaning of questioning and obstruction. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan. com made people dumbfounded.

Feeling the same pain too.

Although Qin Jue can understand the kind of "after-the-fact" remarks, such as "Oh, oh, oh, it would have been better if I hadn't filmed "Rain of the Day", it would have been too painful", but as far as personal wishes are concerned, comments like this And comments, she really didn't want to read them.

Too many words like this make it appear that Qin Jue is ignorant and insists on taking risks regardless of the concern and dissuasion of his ministers, making everyone fearful and unable to sleep or eat well.

To be honest, it feels quite bad to be wrapped in this kind of atmosphere.

Although I know in my heart that the other person doesn't actually mean to point fingers, I do feel that I have been kidnapped by the mysterious morality.

In short, it’s better to praise her more.

They are all emotions. Qin Jue often feels that he is better at dealing with "hate" than "love".

How to properly handle other people's kindness is also a difficult knowledge.

At least for Qin Jue, yes.

After watching the commander leave with the documents in his arms, Qin Jue stretched his waist and decided to pick up the iron.

Now every time she encounters something related to Qingqing that is not so easy and pleasant, she mentally wants to run away.

It’s okay, escape is shameful but useful.

Go to the gym and clear your mind first.
