Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

Chapter 165 "The Birth of an Actor"

When Cui Qin and Vice Dean Wang Jingsong came out to greet Zhang Yixing, they saw Zhang Yixing and Liu Yifei squatting on the roadside at the school gate eating roast duck slices as if no one was around. They felt bad.

It really feels like the art palace of the Film Academy is a construction site!

After all, you are also a big shot in the film industry now, can you please stop being so down-to-earth!

When Liu Yifei saw the teachers and leaders from the school coming, she suddenly lost her composure. It seemed that students were naturally afraid of teachers, so she quickly got up and ran away.

Following Wang Jingsong into the film school, he was greeted by all kinds of curious eyes.

Zhang and his party looked around with the same curiosity.

Huh! That one seems to be Zhang Xiaofei!

Huh! That's Luo Jin!
Huh! that is……

When a few people arrived at the office, Zhang and his party finally became calm.

Instructing Chen Ruyi to take out two documents, Zhang Yixing took the documents and handed them to Wang Jingsong and Cui Qin, one each, and then waited for them to look through them.

Wang Jingsong and Cui Qin looked at each other, both surprised.

Cui Qin heard from student Huang Xiaoming that Zhang and his party were here to ask an acting teacher to provide guidance for his upcoming film.

I originally thought of recommending him a tutor, but it was a piece of cake!
Unexpectedly, he actually took out a document.

After looking at the contents of the document, the words "The Birth of an Actor" were written above the head.

Continuing to look down, it turned out to be a production plan for a variety show.

Both of them have already learned about "The Voice of China" launched by Dreamweaver Culture. This is this year's phenomenon-level variety show, which has made a group of amateur singers famous and is competed by major record companies.

Are you going to praise actors again now?
As they watched, Wang Jingsong and Cui Qin's expressions gradually became serious.

Beijing Film Academy graduates many outstanding students every year, but only some of them actually get the opportunity to star in films and TV series.

There are only a handful of students who have become famous, and most of them can only do a side job and shoot an advertisement from beginning to end. There are many outstanding graduates who have never been known to the audience in their lives and eventually changed careers.

In particular, the threshold for actors is not high, and some directors no longer only choose actors based on professionalism.

Some singers who have never performed before can play leading roles in movies and TV series as long as they are popular enough.

Some beautiful and handsome guys who are kept by others can also play leading roles in movies and TV series as long as they are praised by others.

The "Birth of an Actor" planning project in hand seems to provide some actors with an opportunity to let others see themselves and gain attention.

Many outstanding students and actors lack such an opportunity to be seen.

When he saw the last page of the plan, Wang Jingsong even lost his composure.

The last page is not so much "The Birth of an Actor" as it is "The Birth of a Movie".

After the finals of "The Birth of an Actor", there will be a special competition: the shooting of a 30-minute short film.

Zhumeng Film Entertainment will provide 100 million yuan in filming funds for the filming of short films, and the actors will naturally be contestants in "The Birth of an Actor".

Short film shooting directors are solicited from the public, and everyone can strive for this shooting opportunity based on their own work examples.

This is equivalent to spending 100 million to let people who want to be directors practice.

Don’t underestimate this million. Many directing students who graduate from film schools may not have the opportunity to direct movies or TV series in their lives unless their families have a business or they meet investors who appreciate them.

Most directing graduates end up working in an advertising company. What they have learned over the years is just making commercials.

There are also many students who have dreams. After saving money for more than ten years, they can use their savings to continue their movie dreams. Once they fail, it will be difficult to turn around in this life. This is an opportunity given to the winning actor.

Likewise, this is an opportunity for those who aspire to be directors.

Finally, Dreamweaver Culture will screen high-quality short films and provide financial resources for directors to adapt them into feature-length films and release them to theaters.

This is no different from throwing money away!

Zhang and his party looked at Wang Jingsong and Cui Qin's shocked expressions and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"The Birth of an Actor" is a stage for future generations of actors to show off their acting skills. Acting skills are used as the judging criteria. If you are a good actor, show off your acting skills!
As for the short film plan that was later combined with "The Birth of an Actor", it came from the later "11 Degrees of Youth Film Series" plan.

The Chopstick Brothers' "Oldboy" stands out in this project.

The creative, production, and distribution model of online short films plus movies can tap into a group of film director talents at a low cost.

Of course, Zhang Yixing is not throwing money away in vain. He can not only make money directly through this variety show, but also recruit high-quality actors and emerging directors, and bring in film schools through mentor judges.

I have a lot of IPs for film and television dramas, and I can't possibly do every one myself. When the time comes, I will let these connections direct and act in them, and I will just have to supervise them.

It's just some IP. Zhang and his team can continue to copy it. Anyway, the meat will rot in their own pot.

Through this variety show, the film school can also let the outside world see its professionalism through acting instructors, and provide a stage for school students to show themselves by recommending contestants.

Dreamweaver Culture has money, and the Film Academy has people.

No matter how you look at it, this is a win-win variety show plan.

Even in the eyes of Wang Jingsong and Wang Jingsong, they are worried about whether Zhang and his party can continue to do this variety show. In their view, this is simply Zhang and his party spending money to cultivate film actors and director talents for the country.

So great!
Zhang Yixing thought to himself that when this variety show is launched, several acting instructors will be directly roped in to provide guidance in "A Little Thing About First Love", and they probably won't even have to pay wages.

Cui Qin asked at this time: "The plan proposes that in addition to the Beijing Film Academy, the program will also be targeted at Chinese theaters and top theaters!"

Zhang Yixing nodded and said with a smile: "After all, this is a variety show first. Only with competition can there be motivation, only with competition can there be something to watch, and only with something to watch can there be ratings. Otherwise, it will become a self-pleasure. Except for these colleges and universities, wild Directors and actors can also participate!”

Cui Qin thought about it and said nothing. She paid less attention to variety shows and could not express any opinions.

Wang Jingsong also finished reading the plan and said to Zhang Yixing: "We will organize a discussion on this matter and give you an answer this week!"

Zhang Yixing nodded, "No problem!"

Next, Zhang and his party experienced the canteen of the Film Academy. Surrounded by beauties, it was quite a feast for the eyes.

At the dinner table, Wang Jingsong said to Zhang Yixing:

“In fact, this variety show not only cultivates actors and directors, but also cultivates audiences.

Today's film and television industry seems to be filled with an atmosphere of impetuousness, and the audience is also very blind about watching movies. They watch the movies of those who are popular and only pay for their idols. This also indirectly affects the director's casting.

The relationship between film and audience is mutually reinforcing, either enhancing or exacerbating each other.

"The Birth of an Actor" can subtly let the audience understand the concept of acting. When the audience knows professional performances, they will make their own judgments when they look at those exaggerated acting skills.

Audiences are accustomed to watching high-quality movies, and they will gradually resist junk movies in their hearts, thus indirectly requiring directors to improve the quality of their films.

Although this kind of change may take a long time to achieve success, no matter how small the change is, as long as it is beneficial, it will be of great merit!

Therefore, I respect you! "

Zhang and his party looked at the soup bowl Wang Jingsong picked up, and quickly picked up the bowl and touched it.

Pairing wine with soup will taste just as good!
