This star’s style is wrong

Since Ark Culture has never produced a live-action movie, Qiao Yinghong was both excited and worried when she heard that Fang Xing was going to enter the big screen.

What's exciting is that Fang Xing is finally coming back. This man who keeps creating miracles is about to start again.

The worry is that movies and TV series are two completely different fields.

In terms of artistic achievements and professional recognition, movies are higher than TV series.

This point exists objectively.

Many TV drama actors are actually incapable of acting in movies.

Movies have higher requirements in all aspects, including directors, actors, and martial arts instructors.

Especially for actors, the requirements for acting skills are much higher than those in TV series.

The reason why this happens is that the big screen is really big.

Even if it's not a giant screen, just an ordinary movie screen, it will take up a whole wall.

With such a big screen, when the camera takes a close-up of an actor, the actor's entire face will appear on the screen, magnified dozens of times.

This also causes the expressions on the faces of movie actors to be magnified.

Many acting methods used in TV dramas will be exposed on the big screen, and their shortcomings will be fully exposed.

In TV dramas, actors can usually make relatively large expressions, and they can express their emotions very freely.

Because the TV screen is small, you need to make big expressions so that the audience can see clearly.

However, it's different when it's on the big screen.

Because the movie screen is large and the actors make big expressions, it is easy for the audience to be fooled.

This is also why movie actors need to master micro-expression performance.

Movie actors only need to make some micro-expression changes on the big screen to make the audience see and feel them.

Therefore, micro-expression performance is a stepping stone to the big screen.

However, in recent years, more and more popular stars have entered the big screen, causing the film industry to be somewhat uneven.

However, most of the popular celebrities have failed on the big screen.

Those who can truly succeed are those who emerge from the waves.

Film companies have also gradually figured out a mature model of film production, which is a model in which powerful actors bring traffic and fresh meat.

A movie uses a traffic source to attract the attention of fans and increase the popularity of the movie.

Then, rely on talented actors to carry the box office.

In this way, there is traffic and box office, and the upper limit is very high.

Of course, if this traffic star is too exhausted and the movie star can't take him, then there's nothing we can do.

Film companies are not stupid. If they can't support this traffic star, then they will find another one.

Traffic idols come out one after another, and you can always find one or two who are not so overwhelming and can lead them.

And, there are already companies that are successful.

Jia Haochen is a movie star with a traffic label promoted by Shengqi Entertainment. Two years ago, he went to film a TV series, but was beaten up by Fang Xing's drama.

After that, he learned to be smart, and went back to making movies, and found actors of the movie king or queen level to lead him for a second or even third time.

This model is indeed very successful. Two years later, Jia Haochen has successfully become one of the "Ten Billion Box Office Actors".

Fanfan Entertainment learned this model and also promoted a movie star, Zhu Yiting.

Now.

In the film industry, there are two popular movie stars with good box office results.

Fans of the two families are often at odds with each other.

Jia Haochen's total box office is higher than Zhu Yiting's, while Zhu Yiting's average box office is better than Jia Haochen's.

Every time a movie is released on both sides, they will pull each other down.

Even the brokerage companies of both parties have acquiesced in this method of speculation.

Marketing sentence: "Brother was bullied by XXX again. Brother only has us. We must not lose at the box office."

I don’t know how much the box office can rise, but the fans’ emotions are aroused, and all kinds of support and investment are extremely fierce.

…

Ark Culture has not produced live-action movies yet, so it is actually inexperienced in this area.

Movies cannot be completed by one person.

If you want to make a movie, you need to assemble a crew that is capable of filming.

Therefore, after Fang Xing returned to work at the company, he held a meeting and confirmed the company's plan to enter the big screen.

Because of Fang Xing's achievements in the television field, the company's senior management had blind confidence in him.

Moreover, Ark Culture’s previous dramas can be said to have swept the TV drama industry.

With such achievements, if you want to go further, then breaking into the big screen is an inevitable choice. As for whether you can also succeed in the film industry, you have to work hard to know.

In fact.

Many film and television companies will try big movies after achieving good results in the field of TV series.

This is a path for qualitative change in the company.

No matter whether he succeeds or not, he will give it a try.

In fact, film and television companies in the industry have basically gone through this step.

Some film and television companies failed to hit the big screen, so they had no choice but to go back and continue to make TV series to repay the money.

Some film and television companies have successfully hit the big screen and successfully transformed into film companies.

…

There is a big difference between TV series and movies for the audience.

That is, you can watch TV series for free, but not movies.

Movie performance is measured by real money. The box office is there, and every movie ticket is money.

TV dramas are different. Viewers can choose to watch them for free and only need to watch an advertisement at the beginning.

Even if it is VIP content, you only need to open a VIP to watch it for a month, and you can watch the VIP content of the entire website, so the consumption is relatively small.

Therefore, TV viewers can accept poor quality TV series as long as they can pass the time and watch them.

Movies are different.

I paid a more expensive price and sat in the cinema for two hours.

If the movie doesn't look good, it's better to spend money and feel guilty.

If too many bad movies are made, directors and actors will be mentally blacklisted by the audience, and they will no longer be deceived into entering movie theaters when they see movies made by these directors and actors in the future.

Therefore, movies need to be more meticulous than TV series from script to shooting.

There are peeing spots in TV series, and viewers can choose to skip them, but not in movies.

Therefore, the highest goal of the movie's plot is to avoid peeing throughout the whole process.

…

As Ark Culture enters the big screen, the crew's service, martial arts guidance, screenwriting team, etc. all need to be improved, and they need to cooperate with more film professional teams.

Therefore, this time, it is not that Fang Xing comes out with a script and can start filming immediately.

Moreover, film actors have higher requirements, and many TV drama actors who have worked with them before are not suitable for filming.

Therefore, after the meeting, Ark Culture released news that it was preparing to produce a movie.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many people in the industry.

After all, Ark Culture swept the field of TV dramas two years ago, and it was easy to win awards.

Fang Xing took a two-year break. When he came back, he first sang a song on the Spring Festival Gala, and then asked his assistant director to film "Ancient Love Song", redefining what a dark horse online drama is.

Now, Ark Culture has announced that it will enter the big screen.

This means that the film industry may encounter a major earthquake.

Although Fang Xing’s impact on the big screen may not be successful, but what if he succeeds?

Film and television companies in the industry naturally cannot miss this opportunity. Whether it is cooperation, recommendation of actors, or investment, they are all good choices.

Therefore, after the news of Ark Culture's entry into the big screen was released, in the next few days, many film and television companies contacted them to seek cooperation.

Fang Xing also received a dinner request from Penguin Pictures President Zhang Changfeng.

Zhang Changfeng is the president of Penguin Pictures, the distributor of the two animated films "Spirited Away" and "My Neighbor Totoro".

A movie cannot be completed by just one company, from project establishment and filming to distribution and release.

Moreover, film production and film distribution are two completely different tasks.

Film distribution companies need to have people in all movie theaters across the country, even in fourth- and fifth-tier cities.

Promotional posters, gifts, and peripherals in the cinema all need to be arranged by employees of the distribution company.

Ark Culture is a content production company that is responsible for outputting content. It is impossible to do distribution work.

Therefore, if Ark Culture wants to enter the big screen, it must cooperate with film distribution companies.

Penguin Pictures is a film distribution company.

In fact.

Fang Xing also owns shares in Penguin Pictures, accounting for 3%, making him the second largest individual shareholder.

Even though the shareholding ratio is only 3%, for such a tens of billions-level company, individual shareholders have so many shares, which is already considered a lot.

In fact.

After Ark Culture released the news, many film distribution companies came to contact them.

However, other film distribution companies are being approached by other senior executives of the company.

Fang Xing and Zhang Changfeng were old acquaintances and had collaborated before, so they still had to attend this dinner.

At this dinner, there were several other senior executives of the Penguin Group, as well as Li Xueying, the president of Penguin Video.

In the past two years, Li Xueying has been promoted from vice president to president of Penguin Video due to her good abilities.

The location is different, and the vision is naturally different.

Ark Culture wants to enter the big screen, which is also related to Penguin Video.

After a movie is released in theaters, it will definitely be released on video websites.

Although the competition is not fierce when movies are released on online platforms, Penguin Video must establish this relationship in advance.

After all, Wandou Video and Ark Culture have a strategic partnership. If Penguin Video doesn’t start early, it might be manipulated by Gong Jianbin.

Last time.

"Mountains and Seas" was originally planned to be broadcast on multiple video websites, but Gong Jianbin forced it to be broadcast exclusively on Wandou Video. As a result, the number of VIP users of Wandou Video skyrocketed that summer.

This time, Ark Culture is going to the big screen.

Li Xueying didn't want to be overtaken by Gong Jianbin again, so she and Zhang Changfeng had dinner with Fang Xing.

"Is Mr. Fang really going to make a movie?"

After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Changfeng was the first to speak.

"Yes, it's time to try making a movie. This step is always necessary." Fang Xing nodded and admitted that since the news was released, he hoped that all parties would come to discuss cooperation.

Perhaps other film companies may not have confidence in making movies with Ark Culture.

But Zhang Changfeng is full of confidence.

Because this is not the first time Ark Culture has produced a movie, the total box office of "Spirited Away" and "My Neighbor Totoro" combined has exceeded 5 billion.

This is already the ceiling level for animated movies.

Although a live-action movie will be made this time, there are two animated movies ahead, so the chance of success in making a live-action movie is very high.

"Has Mr. Fang thought about what kind of movie to make? If you need help from our group, just ask. As long as we can do it, we will never say no." Zhang Changfeng immediately took care of everything and at the same time, he inquired about the news.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied: "At present, I am considering making a small-investment movie to test the waters. The heads of all departments in the company have this idea."

In fact, Fang Xing didn't care that much about the size of the investment.

However, the heads of various departments in the company don’t think so.

Since Ark Culture has only managed to break even in the past two years, if we make a big investment now, if the box office fails, it will affect the company's normal operations.

When you have no experience in the film industry, making a small-investment film first is the safest choice.

Fang Xing understood the thoughts of the company's top executives and agreed to make a small-investment movie first.

After all, there are many examples of small-investment movies that have counterattacked and won high box office.

Fang Xing is now mature and his character is more stable.

Although they are very confident about making a movie, no one knows what the result will be before the movie is released.

If you really make a movie with a big investment, but the box office fails and the company's capital chain is broken, your family will definitely be worried.

Anyway, we are all making movies, whether it is a big investment or a small investment.

Fang Xing also wanted this road to hit the big screen to be smoother, so he agreed to the suggestions from the company's senior management.

Although it is said to be a small investment, in fact the investment is not too small.

The cost of film production is much higher now than it was more than ten years ago.

Therefore, Fang Xingxing currently plans to invest 80 million to make a movie and try it out on the big screen.

Zhang Changfeng was not surprised when he heard that it was a small investment, and then asked: "Does Mr. Fang plan to act in it himself?"

Regarding this question, Fang Xing has thought about it, and the answer is that if the role is suitable, he can consider it, otherwise he should find a more suitable actor.

There is a big difference between movie actors and TV drama actors.

TV drama actors, as long as they are handsome, they won't be any worse off no matter how bad they are in TV dramas.

Movie actors are different. Sometimes they are not handsome and are more suitable for movies.

"This depends on the needs of the role." Fang Xing did not give a definite answer.

During this dinner, Zhang Changfeng mainly wanted to gather information and consolidate some relationships, so that it would be much easier to discuss cooperation in the future.

As for what kind of movie Ark Culture will make and what kind of actors it will use, it is impossible to discuss these issues at this dinner.

"What about the movie type? Has it been decided? I still know a lot of good actors in the film industry. If necessary, I can introduce Mr. Fang to them." Zhang Changfeng continued to build relationships.

"Let's initially consider the comedy genre." Fang Xing answered not very sure.

However, the initial plan is indeed to consider making a comedy movie.

Because the investment in the first film was not large, this meant that there were not many genres to choose from.

Special effects blockbusters require a very large investment, so there is no need to consider it.

The only remaining genres to consider are comedy, suspense, and romance.

Relatively speaking, Fang Xing prefers suspense films and comedies, but for his first film, it would be more suitable to make a film with a wide audience.

Therefore, Fang Xing's initial plan was to make a comedy film.
