China Entertainment: Great directors start by winning actresses

Chapter 305 Positive energy destroys other people’s jobs
Da Tiantian nodded seriously: "Indeed, look at Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Chen Kaige, which one is doing variety shows?"

Su Zhe smiled softly and seemed not to care about Da Tiantian's doubts: "It's just a matter of time.

The entertainment industry is changing so fast now, and no one can guarantee that they will only do one kind of job forever.

Moreover, doing variety shows is not necessarily a bad thing. At least it can contact the audience more directly and understand their preferences. "

After listening to Su Zhe's words, Da Tiantian was still a little confused, but she also knew that his decision made sense.

She sighed softly and said: "What you said makes sense, but I still find it a bit unbelievable.

Just like Feng Xiaogang, although he criticized actors for participating in variety shows, he later participated in many. "

Su Zhe nodded and added: "Yeah, it makes money, it's not shabby. The same goes for Chen Kaige. Not only did he serve as a mentor, he also did it for several seasons.

The entertainment industry is like this, everyone is looking for their own positioning and development direction. "

"The same goes for Zhang Yimou. Although he was a national teacher, he later became a director and produced a variety show - "The Crossover Ice and Snow King"!" Da Tiantian sighed, with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.

For the sake of the harmony of the big family, Su Zhe naturally chose to plot against her.

Variety shows can often quickly attract a large number of viewers and achieve profitability through advertising, sponsorship, derivatives and other forms.

Moreover, once he takes action, his skill will be extraordinary.

Su Zhe nodded and took over the topic: "Yes, the key is that Zhang Yimou not only went down to earth to direct a variety show, but also received mediocre response... As I said before, this is a matter of time.

Da Tiantian raised her eyebrows and said confidently: "Just bet, if you lose, you have to pay me two heroine movies."

"You really want to do a variety show? Why?" Da Tiantian still didn't understand.

Su Zhe said calmly: "Just think that I want to create the first year of online variety shows." In 2011, video websites had just emerged, and online variety shows were certainly not a thing.

"it is good!"

"I still have Bilibili, the platform you helped me get. It can attract traffic to this variety show. I can also create some variety shows for animation. Only when both men and women take part can it become the most powerful online platform. ." Su Zhe introduced to Da Tiantian.

He knew that the fundamental reason why later variety shows became bigger and bigger was their huge profitability.

Su Zhe smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated Da Tiantian's reaction: "How about we make a bet?"

Moreover, with the development of the Internet, the communication channels of variety shows have become more and more extensive, which has brought them huge commercial potential.

Su Zhe replied without hesitation: "No problem. If you lose, you have to be my 'bed-warming maid' for a month."

Compared with movies, although variety shows may be slightly inferior in artistic expression, their ability to make money cannot be underestimated.

Su Zhe has a unique vision, and he is targeting this piece of the variety show market that has not yet been fully developed.

Da Tiantian felt that it was impossible for her to lose, so she readily agreed.

This guy Da Tiantian is a very bad guy, and he has never played in a duo queue with another female star.

After listening to Su Zhe's words, Da Tiantian shook her head. Obviously she didn't agree with this point of view: "I don't believe that directors like Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang have their own persistence and principles and will not change easily."

Just as the first person to eat crabs always gains the most, Su Zhe knows the importance of seizing the opportunity first.

Now in the entertainment industry, everyone is focused on real profits. As for the so-called "powerful", sometimes it has to give way to reality. "

"Do you think the company should invest? I am confident that the income from this variety show will never be less than those of the TV series I filmed."

Therefore, Su Zhe firmly believes that as long as he can seize market opportunities and carefully create a high-quality variety show, he will be able to obtain considerable profits.

Su Zhe does not value money, but the program "Dream Showbiz" he conceived is of great significance to him.

Because the program involves a large scale, it requires official protection to be successfully produced and broadcast.

Therefore, he plans to divide the cake and invite friends to participate in order to increase the influence of the program and ensure its smooth progress.

Although Da Tiantian is not keen on variety shows, she is well aware of Su Zhe's talent and influence.

She understood that if Su Zhe decided to get involved in the field of variety shows, the possibility of success would be extremely high.

Therefore, she did not reject Su Zhe's kindness. After all, it was a rare opportunity to make money with Su Zhe.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?" Da Tiantian asked directly.

"Miss Jingtian is really smart as ice and snow." Su Zhe praised with a smile.

"I need you to help me make an appointment with the person in charge of the radio and television, or the leader of the propaganda department."

After hearing this, Da Tiantian felt helpless: "Do you think I am a magic lamp that makes wishes? I can see whoever I want to see? Su Zhe, you have misunderstood me."

"Da Tiantian, there's no need to pretend between us." Su Zhe shrugged, "In a word, can you help me get an appointment?"

Da Tiantian thought about it and finally nodded: "Yes."

"The omnipotent Miss Jingtian can even throw money at Hollywood, so how can it be difficult to date a few people?"

Su Zhe joked.

"Actually, I can get appointments with these big guys myself, but I asked you to help me match them because I want them to know that you are on my side.

This is not only to build channels, but also to demonstrate the strength and influence of our team. "

After hearing this, Da Tiantian understood.

And let alone Da Tiantian, Su Zhe can actually make an appointment by himself.

Two consecutive films have set box office records in Chinese and even Hollywood film circles. Do you really think Su Zhe is still a nobody now?

Su Zhe asked Da Tiantian to help him matchmaking, just to let the big bosses know that Da Tiantian was on his side, not necessarily to let Da Tiantian set up channels for him.

Da Tiantian actually knows this, after all, she is her eldest wife and still wants some benefits.

So she took the initiative and asked: "Do you need me to do anything else?" Su Zhe smiled and shook his head: "No for now, but if this program faces review problems later, you may need to make a few calls for me."

"The scale of the program will indeed be relatively large." Da Tiantian understood the deep meaning in Su Zhe's words.

Su Zhe explained with a smile: "In today's Internet age, if web dramas and web TV series want to overtake in corners, grasping the scale is indeed the key. However, you can rest assured that I know what I am doing and will never cross the line."

Hearing Su Zhe's assurance, Da Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded and said, "I trust your judgment. So, when do you want to meet those big shots?"

"The sooner the better." Su Zhe replied: "I need to get official support first, and then I can start the preparation work smoothly."

Da Tiantian thought for a while, and then said: "Then it will be the day after tomorrow. However, you have to think about how to convince them when we meet.

After all, the scale of your proposed show may make them wary. "

Su Zhe smiled confidently: "I already have a preliminary plan. I believe that as long as we can let them see the potential and value of "Dream Showbiz", they will definitely support us."

Da Tiantian also smiled: "Okay, then I'll wait and see. I believe you will succeed."

"No problem." Su Zhe had typed the draft several times.

the day after tomorrow.

In an exquisite private club, Su Zhe and Da Tiantian welcomed two distinguished guests: Director Han and Deputy Director Zhang.

Su Zhe had not originally planned to interact with such a high-level figure. After all, the preparation of a variety show did not require such a large background support.

However, Da Tiantian has a wide range of contacts, so naturally Su Zhe cannot easily refuse the meeting she proposed.

After the four people exchanged pleasantries, the formal discussion began.

During the conversation, Su Zhe mainly had in-depth exchanges with Deputy Director Zhang.

"Director Su, can you briefly share your thoughts on the variety show "Dream Showbiz"?
You seem to have placed special expectations on this project, otherwise you wouldn't have come to report to Director Han.

Such actions undoubtedly make us feel that this program is extraordinary. "

Deputy Director Zhang and Director Han both knew that if Su Zhe's variety show was just mediocre or not very restrictive, then there would be no need to report to them so solemnly.

Su Zhe's move obviously means that he has greater ambitions and plans.

Although the two directors are experienced, they do not want the program to have a negative impact.

They understand the complexity of the entertainment industry and the various challenges and controversies that presenting the real entertainment industry may bring to audiences.

Su Zhe looked at them and said firmly: "Deputy Director Zhang, Director Han, I understand your concerns.

With the program "Dream Showbiz," I really hope to show the audience the real entertainment industry. "

“For a long time, many young people have longed for the entertainment industry and dreamed of a life of luxury and wealth.

However, my variety show "Dream Showbiz" is not to cater to this illusion, but to truly show the hardships and bitterness of an ordinary person transforming from an amateur to a star.

I hope that through this work, the audience can deeply understand that behind the glamor of stars, there is a road full of challenges and sacrifices.

I sincerely hope that the audience can understand that entering the entertainment industry is not easy, and the price and effort behind it may be far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

I don’t want to dissuade young people with dreams, but I hope they can fully understand the true face of this industry before making a choice and avoid blind pursuit. "

Deputy Director Zhang and Director Han both showed great interest when listening to my introduction.

Director Han asked a sharp question: "Director Su, will this have any negative impact on the entire entertainment industry?"

Su Zhe replied: "Director Han, I understand your concerns, but I think there are indeed some problems in the entertainment industry, such as the impetuous atmosphere and excessive involvement of capital."

“I know very well that I grew up in this circle, so I fervently hope that the entertainment industry can gradually move towards formalization instead of relying on false prosperity to attract public attention.

For the long-term development of the entertainment industry, and to prevent more young people from being misled, I think it is necessary to expose the cruel side of the entertainment industry. "Su Zhe's words were sonorous and powerful, winning the admiration of Director Han.

"Director Su is a thoughtful person." Director Han nodded in agreement.

Deputy Director Zhang then asked: "Director Han is right. Director Su has shown such a big picture at a young age. However, the cruelty in the entertainment industry you mentioned just now, can you explain specifically what it includes? "

Su Zhe did not hesitate to reveal the selling point of "Dream Showbiz": "For example, some girls may face a choice: if they do not accept certain unfair conditions, they may lose the opportunity to get important roles.

Similarly, some male stars may also be asked to make compromises. If they do not do so, the TV series they star in may not be considered by the satellite TV film acquisition department.

These are just the tip of the iceberg. The cruelty in the entertainment industry is far more complex and profound. "

“The second generation of stars do have many advantages at the starting line that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve. The resources and connections behind them allow them to easily skip many processes.

However, I believe these are not their only success factors, nor should they stand in the way of ordinary people pursuing their dreams. "

Su Zhe took a deep breath and continued: "I will show all aspects of the entertainment industry as truly as possible in my works, including those unknown cruel realities.

I hope that through my films, I can make talented people who might otherwise shine in other fields reconsider their choices. "

The last sentence made Director Han and Deputy Director Zhang fall into deep thought.

They realized that Su Zhe was not just talking about a movie, but also exploring a social issue.

Deputy Director Zhang asked worriedly: "If we film it this way, the scale of the program will indeed be very large, and it may cause some controversy."

Su Zhe nodded firmly: "Yes, I know this may bring some controversy, but I think it is necessary.

Only when the audience truly sees the cruel reality of the entertainment industry will they realize that this circle is not as glamorous as they imagined.

At the same time, I also hope that such works can arouse society's attention and reflection on the entertainment industry, so that we can work together to create a healthier and fairer entertainment environment. "

He continued: "Deputy Director Zhang, I know that many people have biased perceptions of the entertainment industry.
