The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 187 Actors are tools, not stars

"But a TV series always needs some big stars to support the scene!" Chen Li said, "These big stars are not old artists who are easy to fool. They only have money in their eyes. If you don't give them enough money, they won't Will agree to appear in our TV series! And if a TV series does not have these big stars, then..."

"I'm curious, who gave you the illusion that a TV series can be popular only if it is a very big star, and can be sold at a good price?" Huang He interrupted Chen Li's words and asked directly.

"This... this... everyone in the circle thinks so... it's not my own illusion." Chen Li argued.

"Well, let me take the three most popular TV series in our country as an example. The TV series with the highest ratings should be Huanzhugege. Among its protagonists, zw, Lin Xinru, Zhou Jie, and Su Youpeng Among them, who can be called a big star before filming this TV series?"

"Su Youpeng..." Chen Li opened her mouth and said.

"Well, at that time, Alec Su had already passed the peak period of the Little Tigers. At the time, it was considered tepid at best. As for Lin Xinru, he made his debut in a bend. A name I've never heard of."

"It's just four people who made the hottest TV series in the country so far."

"Then there is Meteor Garden, which was released two years ago, what is that F4, good guy, before filming TV series, these are 4 men who have never even been in touch with the film and television industry, and they are waiters in restaurants. TV series like Meteor Garden come out!"

"Of course, you can say that these two films became popular by luck, but the ones that became popular by strength are the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West, which are epic TV series."

"But Liu Xiaolingtong, the protagonist of Journey to the West, had never been exposed to TV dramas before filming Journey to the West."

"The actors in Romance of the Three Kingdoms are all professional actors, but apart from Zhuge Prime Minister, none of them can wear the word "big star" before filming!"

"Then, I would like to ask, among all the popular TV dramas that have invited big stars, which one is there in our country?"

Huang He's questioning made Chen Li completely speechless. Indeed, none of these TV dramas can be called popular by big stars. If you ask Chen Li to think of one, Chen Li can't think of which one is popular by stars. of.

"Let me tell you that if a TV series wants to become popular, it never depends on the so-called stars, but depends on the quality of the script, the camera lens, the director's ideas, and the actors' acting skills. None of them are as good as big stars. It’s a word. An excellent TV series must be polished with an excellent team and the most serious and rigorous attitude.”

"As for the so-called idea of ​​asking big stars to make a TV series that is popular in the circle, there are two main reasons. One is that the TV station is too stupid. Is the actor popular, are there any big stars,
It is the most stupid thing that all the production crews are scrambling to invite the so-called big stars to participate in the performance. "

"Another thing is the impact of movies on TV dramas. Movies are different from TV dramas. Movies do eat big stars. If a movie doesn't have top quality, then inviting top big stars can indeed make a fortune, and it is true. It's a box office guarantee."

"Why, because there is no regret medicine for movies. You bought a movie ticket because you like this big star, and then went to watch a movie. Even if you think the movie is bad and disgusting, you have already bought the movie ticket. Now, the money is spent, the movie is over, the box office is born, and you're part of the box office."

Well, what Huang He said was correct in 2002, but in 2020, it is not correct. Because of the development of social media, everyone can post their own comments on the movie in the media, so the movie is only two days away You can rely on the cast and marketing to get a high box office. After a few days, when various comments are fermented on the Internet, everyone will know what it is, and they will not be interested in watching it.

"But TV dramas are different. TV dramas are broadcast every day. You will send big stars to watch episode 1 and episode 2, but in the process of watching, if you find that this TV drama is rubbish, even if there is a star you like, you I am not interested in following this kind of TV series every day, because it is really not good to watch, it can be called a kind of torture."

"So all in all, I will make a rule for our Tang people now. When we Tang people are shooting TV dramas, we must choose the best director, the best screenwriter, the best photography, and even the best crew, but we will never choose the best TV series. The hot star, we only want the best actors!" Huang He's words shocked the two filmmakers Li Guoli and Chen Li.

That's right, they were really shocked. Although they all knew that it was popular in the industry to invite big stars to film TV dramas, they never thought about the reason for it. suddenly realized.

At this moment, they suddenly understood what it meant to be a threesome, and they must have my teacher.

"Director Li, I want to ask, the director of our company is almost gone with the big star, but are the crew members still there?" Huang He asked.

"This is all here!" Li Guoli nodded. Although the share reform has greatly reduced the income of directors and actors, the income of crew members has not decreased much. After all, everyone is paid dead wages.

And because all the crew members are now eligible to share, as long as they make a good TV series seriously, they will have the opportunity to earn more money, so none of these crew members left, and they all depended on the company. gone.

"Very well, this is our essence. What we have to do now is to cultivate the strongest screenwriters, the best photography, the best costumes, etc. This is the key to a good TV series at this time, and everything else is Easy to handle!" Huang He said with a smile.

"Then actors and directors are also needed!" Chen Li said.

"It's simple!" Huang He said with a smile, "I've already made up my mind. Tomorrow, we will go to the Shanghai Theater Academy together and pick among those students who are still studying, and those who are first-class, have excellent moral character, can endure hardship, and have good acting skills." The commendable good seedlings are all picked out, and then signed with our company."

"These people are still studying in school, and their future is completely unknown. Now that a performing arts company is willing to take the initiative to lead them, they will definitely not refuse, not to mention that we can also give a generous signing bonus!"

"So their future income depends on our triple sharing system, but the signing bonus is still more. Anyway, for newcomers, the signing bonus of 300,000 is already rich enough, and they can't refuse it!"

"By the way, how long can we sign a contract for at most?"

"According to the law, you can sign for a maximum of 20 years, but people in the industry usually sign for 3-5 years, so that companies and actors have the freedom to choose!" Chen Li said.

"It doesn't matter, we will sign for ten years! These newcomers have no choice, they will definitely agree." Huang He smiled and said, "After signing, don't rush to let them go to filming, just calm down To train them, even for a TV series, let them learn female celebrities for a year, or even go to learn electrical repair, to practice martial arts, or even send them to the army camp as a first-year soldier, that's all possible!"

"Remember, the actors we select are for our TV series, not for the actors. You must understand this."

"To put it bluntly, an actor is a tool for acting. Don't give them the title of star. We people in Tang Dynasty don't cultivate stars!" Huang He said lightly.

"If that's the case, they might have to flee for their lives once ten years are up!" Chen Li said with a wry smile, "We can be regarded as training talents for other companies."

"It doesn't matter. After ten years, our Tang people should have become the top film and television company in China. They are reluctant to leave or say nothing. Even if they really leave, it doesn't matter to us, because our company does not rely on celebrities. Only by relying on actors, we will be able to recruit more outstanding actors from various schools."

"At that time, we will be able to form a continuous hematopoietic mechanism, and we will not be afraid of the so-called celebrities leaving!" Huang He said confidently, Jiancheng and Li Guoli looked at each other, although they felt that what Huang He said was not very reliable. Spectrum, but it can be regarded as solving the problem of actors in TV drama shooting.

"Boss, I'm going to take all the scripts that have been submitted to us recently and let you have a look, and see if I can pick out a few qualified TV dramas!" Li Guoli said.

"Okay!" Huang He nodded, Li Guoli quickly came over with a lot of scripts, and then Huang He began to read these scripts... Some of them were scripts that Huang He had read in his previous life and had already been filmed. , and there are some that I have never seen before, and I don't know if they are good or bad, so Huang He looked at them a little slowly.

"The first one!" Huang He knocked on the table, and then pulled out the first script. Li Guoli took a closer look and found that it was an adapted script called "The Great Qin Empire".

"The second one!" Soon, Huang He drew out another script, which was the script of "The Lotus Lantern".

"The third one!" Another one, this is a script called "Mo Jin Xiaowei". When Huang He read it, he was also startled. Tomb Raider, however, is completely different from Ghost Blowing the Lantern. It is another story, and I don’t know it was written by that genius screenwriter, but it is another world. No one has ever liked it, so it has never been made into a TV series.

Huang He didn't know what the story was like, but there was no problem at all if he took a picture to test the waters.

"And this!" Huang He selected the fourth "Detective Di Renjie", and then confirmed the fifth script "Family with Children".

"There are even sitcoms!" Li Guoli was taken aback. He didn't expect Huang He to choose a sitcom, and it was a children's sitcom!
"Children are our future, of course we must pay attention to them!" Huang He laughed, at this time the scripts in his hand were almost selected, and there were only a few scripts left at the bottom.

"There are no good books anymore!" Huang He sighed, and then looked at the last few scripts in his hand absently, but when he saw the name of the bottom one, his eyes widened.

In fact, this is not a script, but a novel.

"Sorry, did I get confused?" Li Guoli looked over and immediately explained, "Oh, this is a script or a novel. I haven't had time to adapt it into a script. It was given to me by my friend. I must read it. Then find a way to change it into a TV series. Before I had time to watch it, I stuffed it in!"

Li Guoli smiled and said, "Boss, please read the novel for me before we talk about it!"

"No need!" Huang He shook his head, "You don't need to read it, you go to the author of this book, we have decided on the script... Also, the starring role of this TV series must be Li Youbin, and the priority must be raised. The filming is about to start, and it will premiere next year, without any discussion!"

The novel is called "Bright Sword"
