This star’s style is wrong

After the press conference ended, major entertainment media rushed to report on the content of this press conference of Ark Culture and Wandou Video.

Not only entertainment media, but also economic channels are reporting on it.

For a time, Ark Culture and Wandou Video were all over the internet.

[Will Ark Culture’s investment in Wandou Video change the current pattern of the online video industry? 】

[Ark Culture and Penguin Video break up? Why invest in Wandou Video? 】

[Wandou Video has excellent quality of self-made content and ranks among the three major video websites. Will joining forces with Ark Culture bring self-produced film and television dramas to a higher level? 】

[Does the rumored gambling agreement exist? What kind of gambling conditions made Ark Culture and Wandou Video join forces? 】

[After Wandou Video acquires shares from Ark Culture, will it pose a threat to Penguin Video? 】

There is a lot of news on the economic channel about the two companies.

However, relatively speaking, there are relatively few netizens who pay attention to economic news, so although the popularity of these economic news is not low, it is basically not in the top ten hot searches.

Entertainment news is different.

As soon as the press conference ended, entertainment news about Ark Culture’s new drama hit the hot searches, and within three hours it topped the list of hot searches.

[Ark Culture announced a new drama plan, and Fang Xing will play two roles. 】

[Combined with the "Mist Theater" opened by Wandou Video, Fang Xing's new drama should be a suspense type. 】

[Fang Xing’s new drama is determined to be a suspense genre. Is it another "The Beginning"? 】

[Although "The Beginning" is popular, the performance of the male and female protagonists is not eye-catching. Fang Xing's new drama plays two roles. Can it become a high-end version of "The Beginning"? 】

[After a year, Fang Xing’s new drama has started filming. Can it continue the myth? Or fall off the altar. 】

Underneath these gossips, people who enjoy themselves, passers-by, netizens, and black fans are all discussing it.

[I finally started filming a drama. I was idle for a whole year and watched "Nirvana in Fire" three times. 】

[Can I finally stop watching "Wulin Gaiden"? Now I can dream about Qixia Town. 】

[Suspense genre, I’m really looking forward to it. However, the male and female protagonists should be more eye-catching than those in "The Beginning". Although "The Beginning" is popular, the highlights are all the supporting roles. 】

[It doesn’t feel like it’s in the genre of “The Beginning”. Since it’s going to be a “fog theater”, it should be a more orthodox suspenseful criminal investigation drama. After all, it is necessary to set the tone for the style of "Mist Theater". 】

[Indeed, I also feel that it should be a suspenseful criminal investigation, or a similar police film. If the style of the first play of "Mist Theater" is too biased, it will not fit the tone of this theater. 】

【Can’t you sing well? How long has it been since you released a new song? 】

[I like the song, I also like the drama, can’t I have both? 】

[Although Lu Xiang'er won the prize in the competition to bring honor to the country, it was outrageous that Fang Xing went on strike for more than half a year. 】

…

The day after the press conference.

Ark Culture held meetings non-stop to establish projects and began preparations for new dramas.

"The crew will start preparations and contact various teams. Filming will start in two weeks. The casting director will work overtime today to send audition invitations to the Screen Actors Guild. The list of assistant directors..."

Fang Xing announced the list of crew members vigorously and resolutely, but Zhang Yigao was left out in the end.

After everyone on the directing team had called their names, Zhang Yi raised his hand: "Mr. Fang, I... forgot about me."

He had always been the assistant director for Fang Xing, so Zhang Yigao thought he would be the assistant director this time.

Fang Xing smiled lightly and said, "You won't join my crew this time."

"do not."

Zhang Yigao immediately felt the crisis and hurriedly explained: "Some time ago, a producer from another company did invite me to dinner. He was a former schoolmate. I have known him for more than ten years. It was just a normal meal, nothing else."

Fang Xing laughed and said: "Who cares who you eat with, this time we are going to open the 'Mist Theater' on Wandou Video, and one drama is not enough.

"I discussed with Mr. Zhou of Pea Films and we will come up with another script and you will use the crew of Pea Films to make a suspense drama.

"I've seen a few MVs directed by you, and you really like to use suspense shots. I'll give you a chance to try them out."

When Zhang Yigao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? Did Mr. Fang write the script himself?"

Fang Xing nodded and affirmed: "Yes, I will produce the script. The two crews will shoot together, and then the crew resources can be coordinated. I have already said hello to the team at Pea Films. You can bring the script to them in a few days. Touch it.

"However, one thing I want to remind you is that I am the producer of this drama you are filming, so I will supervise the production when the time comes.

"I will not allow this drama to be bad. If I think it cannot meet my standards, I may choose to stop filming and wait until I finish filming the drama at hand before I take over."

When Zhang Yigao heard this, he immediately felt pressured, but he was also excited inside.

This is the opportunity to be a director again, but once the filming is not good, there may be no chance in the future.

This is the way this industry is. If you don’t have the ability, you won’t be able to film.

Zhang Yigao once fell into underestimation. He had no movies to shoot and could only do odd jobs on the crew.

It was Fang Xing who fished him out.

Following Fang Xing, he experienced six hit dramas, and at the beginning of this year he finally got the opportunity to direct alone, filming "The Elegance of the Tang Dynasty".

From the perspective of an ordinary director, "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty" was actually a success, but it just wasn't a big hit.

However, Zhang Yigao actually didn’t want to shoot ancient puppets, but wanted to shoot some more challenging subjects.

Suspense dramas are undoubtedly a more challenging type of drama.

Of course, the more challenging it is, the more difficult it is to shoot well.

Suspense dramas are not like idol dramas. The plots of idol dramas are poor. Fans can still watch the drama while licking the screen for the sake of the appearance of the lead actors.

However, suspense dramas are different.

For the sake of realism, suspense dramas tend to be realistic, and even the makeup of the lead actors is very rough.

Moreover, the selection of actors will tend towards the acting school rather than the idol school.

This means that once the plot of a suspense drama is bad, it will be bad to the end, and there will be no fans to follow the show.

This is why Fang Xing asked Zhang Yigao to shoot well.

Zhang Yigao took a deep breath and agreed: "Don't worry, Mr. Fang, I will do my best."

actually.

Zhang Yigao has been working at Ark Culture for the past few years and is already in his fourth year. He is very generous, but when he vouched for Fang Xing, he was very much like a student vouching for his teacher.

Fang Xing took out a script printed on A4 paper from his briefcase, handed it over, and said, "This is the script. You should read it when you go back. Someone from Pea Films will contact you then."

Zhang Yigao took the script and nervously turned it over to read the name of the script on the cover: "The Dark One."

Fang Xing added: "There is an analysis of the characters in the script. Try to choose actors according to the roles. It doesn't matter whether they are handsome or not. What matters is their acting skills."

Zhang Yigao assured: "I understand! After working with Mr. Fang for so many years, I understand the importance of acting skills."

Fang Xing then added: "I will consider turning this "Dark One" script into a series. Of course, the premise is that the first part is successful. If the first part is completed, there will be a second part. Even a third one.”

Zhang Yigao was suddenly stunned and his eyes widened.

His heart was beating wildly if this show was really made into a series.

That means that he has a TV series as his masterpiece, and he is not an assistant director, but a director.

"Thank you, Mr. Fang, I will definitely take the photo."

Zhang Yigao knew that this might be the most important opportunity in his life.

He once filmed a small popular online drama, and then he started to let himself go and made several movies in a row. After that, no film and television company was willing to invest in him.

More than ten years have passed.

He is no longer as frivolous as before, he is much calmer, and his views on TV series have also changed.

In addition, in the past few years, Fang Xing has filmed so many hit dramas, and many ideas have gradually matured.

After this year, he will be forty years old.

Although forty is not considered too old for a director, an opportunity like this that affects his entire life will probably never happen again.

Therefore, he knew how important this script was.

"Mr. Fang, then I will go back and read the script first."

Zhang Yigao couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go back and read the script now.

"Can you also ask about the investment amount?" Fang Xing said with a smile.

"Um, that's right. How much investment does this drama cost?" Zhang Yigao asked hurriedly.

"The plan is for A-level investment. Our company will lead half of the investment, and the other half will be divided between Wandou Video and other film and television investment companies." Fang Xing replied.

Class A investment means investing between 40 million and 90 million.

Usually if you invest hundreds of millions, it will be classified as S-class.

For a suspense TV series, as long as no big-name stars are hired, A-level investment is sufficient.

"Okay, I understand. Then I'll go back and read the script first." Zhang Yigao pointed to the door of the conference room.

"Go." Fang Xing nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yigao quickly took the script of "Dark Man" and rushed back to the office happily.

He didn't go home, so he started reading the script in the office, and he became more and more excited as he read it.

I started thinking about which actor to play the role in the play.

…

In the conference room.

The preparatory meeting for Fang Xing’s new drama continues.

Qiao Yinghong asked: "Boss, do you want to invite the movie queen to join this new drama?"

Fang Xing shook his head and replied: "In this drama, there is no room for drama, so let's forget it. If there is anyone willing to make a cameo, that would be fine."

Qiao Yinghong then asked: "Have you finished the script of the new drama?"

Because Fang Xing just gave Zhang Yigao a script, the second script may not be available now.

Fang Xing nodded and replied: "That's almost it. I will send the character analysis and casting requirements to the group later, and the casting director will contact the actors as required.

"The first version of the script is almost ready and will be ready by next week."

The script is not changed word for word from the beginning, and can even be modified according to the shooting situation.

The script that Fang Xing wants to film has been basically completed, and the next step is to audition actors and form a crew.

Once all of this is done, the script will be ready.

Although Fang Xing did not film any dramas for more than half a year before and was competing with Lu Xiang'er, it was not like he had done nothing for such a long time.

The script for "The Dark One" was developed during this period.

However, Fang Xing finally decided to leave "Dark Man" to Zhang Yigao to shoot.

After all, the scale of Ark Culture is getting bigger and bigger, and the crew cannot only serve Fang Xing, so the company will have to produce more movies and TV series.

It was an attempt to hand over the "Dark One" series to Zhang Yigao.

In the future, Ark Culture will cooperate with more directors to increase the production of film and television dramas.

A video website, in addition to popular dramas, also needs slightly more ordinary dramas to fill the gaps.

…

a week later.

Ark Culture was the first to announce the casting announcement for "The Dark One".

But after this announcement came out, a round of doubts arose.

[Why is the director Zhang Yigao? Didn't it say it was Fang Xing's drama? 】

[Is this a lie? And it didn’t mention Fang Xing starring? 】

[Although "Fenghua of the Tang Dynasty" is also within the category of watchable, it is too far away from "Nirvana in Fire". I was originally waiting to watch a divine drama, but now you make me a fast food. 】

[To be honest, the gap is a bit big. 】

[Is it possible that "Dark One" is not the one Fang Xing mentioned? 】

【Why not? The genre of "Dark One" is suspense criminal investigation, which is obviously prepared for Fog Theater. 】

Amidst the controversy among netizens.

This topic has become a hot search topic.

However, it didn’t take long before it became a hot search.

Ark Culture has released a new casting announcement, and casting for "White Night" has officially begun.

As soon as this news came out, all the doubts of netizens were immediately answered.

[It turns out that the one in front is not Fang Xing’s. cough! It made me blindly excited. 】

This announcement.

"White Night" is indeed directed by Fang Xing, and the male lead has been decided, and it is Fang Xing himself.

【Fuck! It turns out that I was filming two dramas at once. But if you do two shows at once, will you be overwhelmed? What if the quality of the show deteriorates? 】

[Probably not. I just checked and found out that "Dark One" is directed by Zhang Yigao, and the crew was put together by Ark Culture and Pea Films. Besides, it is normal for many film and television companies to shoot three to five dramas a year. No one would think that the crew would take a break for more than half a year after filming one drama, right? 】

[Indeed, the quality of Wandou Video’s self-produced dramas has always been good. With Zhang Yigao directing and Fang Xing producing, I think we can look forward to not only "White Night" but "The Dark One" as well. 】

[Now we can look forward to it, casting has really begun. 】

[Director, would you like to see the monsoon in our house? 】

[Director, look here, look here, Liu Jifeng’s acting skills are really good. 】

【Give our family Chenchen a chance. 】

Fans of various idols began to comment on the posts posted by Ark Culture and recommend their idols.

These comments were pushed to the front row.

However, there are a lot of weird comments from Lezi people below:

[I think you should stop harming your idols. Fang Xing is well-known for his audition. When the time comes, he will make your brother cry and you will have to come back and scold him. 】

[You guys who act in idol dramas, dare to join this crew? 】

[Fang Xing never uses data traffic, this is no secret. 】

[Who said Fang Xing never uses data traffic? Which of his dramas has no traffic? Why, he himself is top-notch! 】

【All right. I couldn't refute it. 】

[Didn’t Fang Xing say that one person would play two roles in the new drama? What kind of characters are they? Playing a father and son? 】

In film and television dramas, if the time span of the drama is large enough, there will indeed be a character playing the role of father and son.

[I don’t think so. It’s a suspense genre. You wouldn’t play a father and son by yourself, right? That time span would be too big, and if so, there would be no need for publicity. 】(End of this chapter)
