This star’s style is wrong

Brilliant Entertainment Headquarters.

After the audition, Liu Shiying returned to the company and held a meeting with several senior executives to discuss this cooperation.

"How was the audition? How was Fang Xing's evaluation?" Vice President and Artist Director Wang Xingfa was the first to ask.

"It should be okay, but Fang Xing's expression was flat. He didn't show that he was very satisfied, but he didn't say that he was dissatisfied. In fact, I haven't participated in an audition for a long time, and it feels quite fresh." Liu Shiying laughed as she said it.

Liu Shiying, as a super first-line actress who is currently popular, has no shortage of filming after becoming popular.

When she reached her celebrity status, film and television companies came to her with scripts and begged her to film them.

Because she has made one hit and one hit, there are almost no blockbuster dramas. Even the dramas with low ratings are considered to be at a passing level.

The only criterion in the film and television industry is broadcast performance, that is, ratings and playback volume.

Who can carry the show has the final say.

If Liu Shiying's dramas are popular, then her acting method is right.

Even if the director thinks there is a problem, he may not dare to point it out, because he is popular, and as long as the audience likes it, no matter how he acts, it will be right.

About three or four years ago, Liu Shiying was willing to take on a drama. The producers were happy to support her, but she still needed to audition?

In a sense, audition is the process by which actors gain the director's approval by demonstrating their performance abilities.

When an actor plays a role that is so popular that the entire industry will imitate it, there is no need for an audition.

This time the situation is a little special.

Ark Culture requires auditions.

Brilliant Entertainment wanted Liu Shiying to audition and demonstrate her acting ability. As long as the director felt that her performance was good, she would have leverage when negotiating a contract.

However, after Liu Shiying's audition, she didn't see a very satisfied expression on Fang Xing's face, but there was no dissatisfied expression either.

Wang Xingfa laughed and said, "This is normal. Even if Fang Xing is satisfied, he won't show it. This is a negotiation strategy. The remuneration offered by Ark Culture is basically based on the lowest price."

Ark Culture has indeed never offered actors sky-high salaries, and many actors are even willing to lower their salaries in order to get roles.

Even when Song Li acted in "Dark Glory", she was paid according to the lowest market salary.

The pay is low, so you can spend your money on other things.

Service, location, and post-production all cost money. If you want to hire a good team, you have to spend your money wisely.

Now.

Ark Culture and Brilliant Entertainment are in a tug-of-war stage.

Brilliant Entertainment wants to use Liu Shiying's card to get more benefits, and even get some privileges when working on the crew.

It is normal for big-name stars to have special privileges on the set.

For example, other actors are with the crew throughout the whole process, have food and accommodation on the set, and are not allowed to go out for business.

Big-name stars don't have to be with the crew the whole time. Even if they are on the crew, they can take time off to attend business activities. They can even ask the crew to film the scenes together and finish them in the shortest possible time.

What's more, they refused to take any outdoor shots, and they all shot in the studio and cut out the pictures later.

Because the speed of studio shooting is much faster than shooting on location.

In short, the time saved is money.

With the current popularity of Liu Shiying just after she was banned, the appearance fee has reached the million level.

How could Brilliant Entertainment not make this money?

…

Ark culture is just the opposite, especially for Fang Xing's drama. The lead actor is with the cast throughout the whole process and is not allowed to skip the show. Except for the fixed monthly rest days, he cannot take time off at will.

These terms are all written in the contract, and the film contract is no exception. Song Li's film contracts are all signed in this way.

However, Song Li and Liu Shiying are somewhat different.

Song Li rarely accepts business activities, and even if she does, it's mostly to return a favor.

Because the company is her own, and she only shoots one drama every two to three years, there is no possibility of cheating.

Liu Shiying is different. She wants to make money, and Brilliant Entertainment also wants to make money.

Moreover, if she could, she wouldn't want to go to Ning Province to eat sand. Who would want to go to Ning Province to eat sand when she could make money comfortably?

Of course, outdoor shooting and studio shooting can actually go hand in hand, with part of the studio shooting and part of the outdoor shooting taking place.

In fact, most film and television projects are shot on location and in studios.

If the contract is negotiated in detail enough, it can even stipulate how many scenes will be shot on location and how many scenes will be shot in the studio.

Calculate how many days the shooting time can be accurate.

…

Wang Xingfa looked at the management team and asked: "What about you? What do you think of the drama Ark Culture? Under what conditions can I accept it?"

Liu Shiying's agent thought about it and said: "Judging from the quality of Fang Xing's past TV series, this drama should not be too bad, but I read the script and it's hard to tell the plot of the heroine in this drama, and the audience may not necessarily Like to watch.

"If the audience feels uncomfortable watching it, it may end up being poorly received but not well-received."

In the film and television industry, it is common for films to be either well-received or not well-received.

When viewers watch TV series, they mainly focus on entertainment. If they are not happy, they will choose not to watch it.

Some dramas are obviously well shot and the actors' performances are good, but they are just too frustrating to watch. In the end, the ratings are very high, but the ratings are miserable.

Ark Culture’s script this time has this tendency.

Another executive broker also echoed: "I also have this worry. In this script, the male protagonist and the female protagonist are not together in the end, and there are even very few emotional scenes. The female protagonist is aggrieved, and the male protagonist is also aggrieved. This kind of It’s a drama, and it’s very likely that the ratings will suffer. However, if it’s done well, maybe it can win awards.”

Wang Xingfa waved his hand: "Shiying has no shortage of awards now. She should film more hit dramas."

Now Liu Shiying has just won the Queen's Award for Gladiolus. At her current age, it is enough to have a Queen's Award trophy, and there is no need to rush for other awards.

Moreover, the difficulty of winning the Flying Eagle Award and the Golden Eyebrow Award is higher than that of the Gladiolus Award, because the first two awards pay more attention to performances and are more academic, and ignore the popularity of the TV series itself.

In other words, Liu Shiying can win the Gladiolus Award for "Feng Lin Chao", but she may not be nominated for the Flying Eagle Award and the Golden Eyebrow Award.

Song Li also started to compete for the Flying Eagle Award in the past few years.

Compared with Song Li, Liu Shiying is still relatively young and has at least ten years left. The best strategy at this time is to shoot more hit dramas.

Wait for a few years to settle down before competing for awards.

The agent continued: "Furthermore, Fang Xing's new drama is a male protagonist drama, and the main role is played by the male protagonist. Even the male protagonist's father has more roles than the female protagonist.

“After this drama is filmed, it’s not the female lead who shines, so whether you want to take this role or not, you need to seriously consider.

"Of course, if Ark Culture can agree to our request, this drama can still be accepted. If it can get a nomination, it won't be a loss."

Wang Xingfa turned to ask: "By the way, have you read Fanfan Entertainment's poverty alleviation script? That "Spring River Plumbing"."

Liu Shiying nodded and replied: "I saw it."

"how do you feel?"

"From the perspective of the script alone, "Spring River Plumbing" has more female protagonists, but I don't know what the effect will be. It depends on the director's level." Liu Shiying couldn't tell which of the two scripts was better, but Relatively speaking, the female protagonist in "Spring River Plumbing" has much more roles.

Wang Xingfa smiled and said: "You can rest assured about this. This "Spring River Water Warm" was used by Fanfan Entertainment to praise Zhu Yiting. Zhu Yiting became famous with "The Lonely Suspect".

"Fenfan Entertainment has reaped the benefits this time. It is currently negotiating with a big director to take over "Spring River Plumbing", and it has been confirmed that it will be an S+ investment."

S+ investment means that the investment in this drama will reach 300 million.

The investment in Ark Culture’s new drama is only S-level.

Although the level of investment cannot be used as a criterion for judging the quality of TV series, when the level of directors, actors, and crew are not much different, naturally the greater the investment, the higher the quality of the film.

Now Zhu Yiting is the most profitable artist of Fanfan Entertainment, and among the popular celebrities, Zhu Yiting is indeed relatively good at acting.

At this time, Fanfan Entertainment was of course spending money to support Zhu Yiting.

Wang Xingfa continued: "I just talked with Mr. Hong from Fanfan Entertainment. They are planning to use "Spring River Water Warm" to create a positive screen image of Zhu Yiting, improve national popularity, and then enter the big screen."

There is already a successful case of top-notch meat entering the big screen, and that is Jia Haochen of Shengqi Entertainment.

In recent years, Jia Haochen has made a lot of money from Shengqi Entertainment by relying on his reputation as the "youngest Mr. 5 billion". He has been endorsed by various big names. It can be said that he has harvested all the big international names.

Fanfan Entertainment is also preparing to promote Zhu Yiting on the big screen route.

Of course, if the fandom replicates Jia Haochen's route, there will be no way out.

Fanfan Entertainment has made some adjustments to prepare Zhu Yiting to enter the big screen with another image. Before that, it will first use "Spring River Plumbing" to increase national popularity.

Wang Xingfa continued: "Now we have two cards in hand, we can cooperate with Ark Culture. If we can't reach an agreement, we can also take on "Spring River Plumbing".

"Right now, Fanfan Entertainment is trying to find a post-viewing director, Zhu Yiting, and they are trying to contact us, as well as Deng Huiling.

"So, if you are optimistic about "Spring River Plumbing", this project can be done.

"Furthermore, judging from Fan Fan Entertainment's attitude, they will probably agree to our conditions."

In business negotiations, as long as the contract is not signed, the partner can be changed.

Moreover, even if you don't change, finding a second partner can also be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

…

the other side.

Ark Culture Headquarters.

It is no secret in the industry that Huihuang Entertainment and Fanfan Entertainment are discussing film and television cooperation.

Qiao Yinghong heard the news from an acquaintance.

In fact, Brilliant Entertainment has no intention of hiding it, and is even willing to take the initiative to spread the news.

Because after the news spreads, it can make Ark Culture nervous, and maybe the conditions will be relaxed.

Qiao Yinghong came to Fang Xing's office and said, "Boss, Brilliant Entertainment and Fanfan Entertainment are discussing the cooperation of "Spring River Plumbing". I just heard the news from an acquaintance."

The expression on Fang Xing's face didn't change much, and he replied: "This is normal. It's a business negotiation. If you don't sign a contract, you can negotiate whatever you want."

Qiao Yinghong then asked: "What does the boss think now? Does he want Liu Shiying? With the current attitude of Brilliant Entertainment, if we are willing to relax the conditions, there is a high probability that we can still negotiate."

Fang Xing thought for a moment and asked, "To what extent should we relax it?"

Regarding this issue, Qiao Yinghong has already asked someone from Huihuang Entertainment, and she already has a rough idea: "From what I hear from Huihui Entertainment, they want to increase studio shooting. They said that the heroine doesn't have enough scenes, and they hope to add a little more.

“The number of studio shooting sessions has also increased, and the shooting has to be concentrated. I want to finish shooting within a month and a half, but I don’t want to be with the crew the whole time.

"Basically, this is a hard condition. Other requirements such as investment amount and remuneration are not very strict."

After hearing this, Fang Xing frowned and said, "No, the heroine must follow the crew throughout the whole process, and let the crew continue to send out audition invitations to see if there are any other suitable actresses.

"The position is not important, as long as the acting skills are good. The age is about 30 years old, older is fine. Later, the heroine will need to play the mother, so it is better to be older."

Qiao Yinghong nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

The candidate for the heroine of Ark Culture’s new drama has not yet been decided.

There have long been rumors in the industry that the heroine is Liu Shiying, but there has been no official announcement.

However, Ark Culture has never said that it will not audition for female leads.

However, there are rumors in the industry that Liu Shiying will play the female lead.

Other actresses did not dare to compete for roles with this newly popular actress, so not many actresses took the initiative to contact Ark Culture for auditions.

This time, Ark Culture took the initiative to send audition invitations to major brokerage companies and actor studios.

Although it is not stated openly, this basically means that Ark Culture and Brilliant Entertainment have not reached an agreement.

Of course, sending out audition invitations may also be Ark Culture's negotiation strategy to force Brilliant Entertainment to compromise.

There are many netizens on the Internet who have begun to recommend various actresses.

[Isn’t Lin Yingxue very good? Do you still need to choose? 】

[It’s okay to be hot-rolled. I just hugged you left and right at the awards ceremony not long ago. Did you forget about it so quickly? 】

[Either find Song Li. I want to see Fang Xing and Song Li play together. 】

【Also Deng Huiling. 】

[What you recommend is either the video queen or the video queen. This is not something you can just ask for. 】

[Should you consider strengthening Yan Lan? Don’t we, Shopkeeper Tong, deserve it? 】

There are even netizens @Weibo posts of these actresses.

the next day.

Lin Yingxue actually called Fang Xing and asked proactively: "Director Fang, do you really not want to consider me? Just act as you are told. I promise to follow the team throughout the whole process and not be afraid of eating sand."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "You can play the role in the first few episodes, but can you play the child's mother?"

Lin Yingxue was stunned when she heard this question: "Uh..."

Her acting skills are actually pretty good, but she is still young after all. She has no problem playing a young woman, but when it comes to playing a mother, she doesn't have the confidence to do so.

In the afternoon.

Fang Xing received another WeChat message and took a look at the person who sent the WeChat message. Her name was Sister Dan.

In the entertainment industry, there are many people called Sister Dan.

Fang Xing suddenly couldn't remember which Sister Dan it was.

Fortunately, the other party took the initiative to announce his family name on WeChat: "Hello, Director Fang, I am Hot Roll Yi's agent. Regarding your audition for the heroine of your new drama, is it possible to give our Hot Roll Yi a chance?"

The opportunity to audition is naturally given.

Fang Xing replied directly: "Okay, just contact Mr. Qiao to set up an audition time."

Sister Dan: "Okay, thank you, Director Fang, for giving me the opportunity. I will definitely let Hot Roll Yi prepare well."
