China Entertainment: Great directors start by winning actresses

Chapter 306 A grand display of hidden rules
Many parents even take the initiative to send their children into this circle, hoping that they will become famous overnight.

But I believe that the entertainment industry is just one of many industries in our country, and it should not occupy too many resources and traffic.

More importantly, we should encourage young people to pursue their dreams and shine in any field. "

"Promoting positive energy is indeed an important task, especially in today's society. It plays an irreplaceable role in shaping a positive social atmosphere." When Su Zhe responded to Deputy Director Zhang, his attitude was both serious and humble.

"However, as you said, blindly promoting positive energy may sometimes be difficult to penetrate into people's hearts. I think that while showing the glamor of the entertainment industry, properly revealing the hardships and challenges behind it can give the audience a more comprehensive understanding. "

"When the audience understands the cruel reality of the entertainment industry, they may view the aura of stars more rationally and make career choices that are more in line with their interests and talents." Su Zhe added.

"This will also help with the rational distribution of social resources, allowing more people to devote themselves to fields that truly suit them and make greater contributions to society."

After hearing this, Deputy Director Zhang couldn't help but express his appreciation for Su Zhe's insights: "Director Su, your views are very profound. So, what are your specific thoughts on the shooting format of "Dream Showbiz"? "

"I will use a workplace observation reality show." Su Zhe explained in detail.

“First, we will select two experienced directors as mentors who will provide guidance and help to the actors throughout the process.

Deputy Director Zhang could no longer drink the tea, and his head began to sweat. "Director Su, is your idea... too dark?"

The competition for favor among female stars, the battle for position among the same crew members, and even those unscrupulous "teaching" behaviors are all true portrayals of private battles in the entertainment industry.

After hearing Su Zhe's detailed explanation, Deputy Director Zhang's expression became more serious and interested: "Director Su, your idea really goes into all levels of the entertainment industry. Such a setting can indeed allow the audience to see more real and interesting things." Complex entertainment industry ecology.”

However, if there are actors who are willing to accept this test while maintaining a professional attitude and promise to cooperate during the filming process, they will have the opportunity to advance to the next round of selection.

In terms of actors, outdated stars, Korean trainees and newcomers will all bring their own stories and challenges. "

Two directors, a second generation from a good family background and a civilian grassroots director, their backgrounds and experiences will bring different perspectives and conflicts.

“Through this program, the audience can closely observe the growth process of the actors and understand their struggle and dedication in the entertainment industry.

However, the situations they simulated are the real side of the entertainment industry.

Su Zhe took a sip of tea and continued: "During the filming process, various complicated interpersonal relationships and battles are inevitable.

The program team followed the entire filming process, allowing the audience to experience the difficulty of becoming famous in the entertainment industry, the hardships of filming, and the reality of the world in the entertainment industry from a first-hand perspective. "

“These actors can be stars or newcomers who aspire to the entertainment industry.

For example, if an actor is unwilling to comply with certain improper demands, he may lose the opportunity to play a role.

The director and actors are then given the freedom to team up and the group actually gets to work on making a movie.

Su Zhe nodded in agreement and continued to explain: "Yes, our goal is to show a real and diverse entertainment industry.

And those actors who are unwilling to compromise may face the risk of being eliminated. "

Then, we will select dozens of potential actors from the many applicants, and they will experience a series of real acting challenges under the leadership of their mentors. "

These disputes and secret fights have all exposed the complexity and cruelty of the entertainment industry. "

But please be clear, we're not actually asking actors to do anything against their will.

At the same time, we will also reveal some of the negative energy in the entertainment industry in a timely manner, allowing the audience to see the hardships behind the glamour. " Su Zhe added.

Su Zhe calmly stated: "These so-called unspoken rules are just disguised by the staff to test the actors' bottom line.

"As for the process of selecting actors for the crew, we will indeed set up some challenges and obstacles to show the unfairness and unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, such as receiving red envelopes, unspoken rules and even actively asking to sleep with you." Su Zhe added.

Su Zhe told the truth: "Deputy Director Zhang, I am just showing some real situations in the entertainment industry. These things are basically tacit things within the entertainment industry."

Deputy Director Zhang: "It's a bit unharmonious...

"It's not just a bit, it's too disharmonious."

Su Zhe said seriously: "I planned this variety show in the hope that the audience can understand the unknown side of the entertainment industry.

I would like to take this opportunity to issue a warning to those young people who harbor dreams of becoming stars, as well as those parents who intend to send their children into the entertainment industry.

The entertainment industry is not as glamorous as outsiders imagine, but is full of challenges and uncertainties.

Deputy Director Zhang, I know that only by treating serious illnesses with strong medicine can we attract enough attention and reflection.

I believe that the broadcast of this program will have far-reaching significance. It will not only reveal the truth about the entertainment industry, but also promote the development of the entire industry in a more standardized direction. "

Originally, Deputy Director Zhang might have given the nod to this variety show just based on the reputation of Da Tiantian and Su Zhe.

However, after listening to Su Zhe's explanation, he was deeply shocked and broke into a cold sweat.

He realized that such a variety show that revealed the truth about the entertainment industry was unprecedented in scale and influence.

Whether it can be successfully broadcast and whether it can have a positive social impact is full of uncertainty.

Faced with such an important decision, Deputy Director Zhang did not dare to make a judgment easily, so he turned his attention to Director Han.

Director Han also put down the teacup in his hand at this moment, looked directly at Su Zhe, and asked: "Director Su, your original intention of producing this variety show, is it really to bring some positive changes to the entertainment industry?"

Su Zhe nodded and replied firmly: "Yes, Director Han, I am well aware of the complexity and chaos of the entertainment industry. I hope that through this program, more people will understand the truth behind it, and at the same time, it will also serve as a platform for young people who have dreams." Provide a clearer direction."

Director Han knocked on the table and said calmly: "But I also see potential market value and profits from your program concept."

After Su Zhe heard this, he instantly understood Director Han's worries. He replied without hesitation: "Director Han, if this program ends up making a profit, I am willing to donate all my profits to support education in the west.

I hope that through my actions, I can do my best to help those children who need help. "

When Director Han heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Director Su, I have received your thoughts.

I believe in your sincerity and determination, and I am optimistic that this program can have a positive impact on the entertainment industry.

Your actions are more convincing than any words. "Deputy Director Zhang also heard the conversation between the two. He took a deep look at Su Zhe and felt admiration for him in his heart.

He knew that to judge a person's character, one should not only look at what he said, but also what he did. A gentleman will judge his deeds without regard to his heart.

Although Su Zhe's proposal was very popular and Director Han was moved, considering the scale of the program and the possible negative impact, he did not immediately agree.

However, when Su Zhe offered to donate all his profits, Director Han made an immediate decision.

He believed that regardless of whether Su Zhe's move was for show, his behavior itself was worthy of appreciation.

He judged that this donation was by no means a small amount, which showed that Su Zhe was a young man with feelings and structure. Even if he had his own selfish motives, he was willing to support such a young man in the overall situation.

"Thank you, Director Han." Su Zhe's eyes sparkled after hearing Director Han's decision.

"Director Su, you have to take care of this show." Director Han stood up to leave, then turned to Su Zhe and said.

“I’m looking forward to this show being a success and achieving the goals you hope for.”

"I will definitely do my best, please rest assured, Director Han." Su Zhe solemnly promised.

After Director Han and Deputy Director Zhang left, Da Tiantian touched Su Zhe's arm curiously and asked, "Are you really going to donate all your profits?"

"Of course." Su Zhe replied affirmatively.

"Then what are you planning on?" Da Tiantian asked puzzledly.

She knew that Su Zhe's reputation was already solid, and even if this variety show was successful, it was unlikely to bring him greater fame.

As for profits, Su Zhe gave up directly.

This made her wonder what Su Zhe's motives were.

Su Zhe smiled when he heard this, with a kind of transcendent self-confidence: "I'm not looking for a small profit. Even if the money earned from a variety show can be hundreds of millions, to me, it's really nothing." ”

After hearing this, Da Tiantian's mouth twitched: "...You really deserve a beating for what you said." In her opinion, several hundred million is already an astronomical figure, but Su Zhe downplayed it so lightly.

"Compared to the traffic this variety show can bring to Station B, several hundred million is really nothing." Su Zhe explained calmly.

“Tiantian, you know nothing about the capital market. As a video website, Bilibili’s valuation depends largely on traffic.

As long as there are enough active users, we can create more value and tell more stories.

By then, my net worth will be much higher than just a few hundred million, and it would be nice to do more good deeds in exchange for a life-saving charm. "

Su Zhe's plan goes far beyond that. He plans to use the platform of Bilibili to occupy the short video market in advance and follow the path of ByteDance, making it impossible for the latter to easily surpass it.

He knows that if you want to make money, you need to have a long-term vision.

Da Tiantian didn’t understand these business strategies, and she had no interest in learning more about them.

She was more concerned with the content and execution of the show itself.

So, she asked curiously: "Su Zhe, are you planning to hold a talent show?"

Su Zhe nodded and explained: "It's not exactly a draft, we will adopt a half-draft, half-star model.

The program team will take the initiative to invite some celebrities to participate, and will also announce external news to select newcomers who have performed well in the variety show "Dream Chasing Showbiz".

I plan to use this variety show as a platform to cast the right actors for my next film. "

Su Zhe considered the draft very deeply.

He knows that although the draft can discover new talents, in order to quickly attract audiences, it still needs to rely on the influence of some already well-known stars.

Therefore, he plans to adopt a half-draft and half-star model, which will not only ensure the popularity of the show, but also provide opportunities for newcomers to showcase.

The character design of Su Zhe's new play is very attractive, enough to attract many well-known stars.

Da Tiantian also agrees with this. She believes that if there is a chance to star in Su Zhe's next movie, it will undoubtedly be a huge temptation for stars in the entertainment industry.

"What I want is that they are interested." Su Zhe chuckled.

He focused on the time point of 2011, which was the period when the post-90s florets began to emerge, and the four major traffics had not yet started their traffic boom.

Su Zhe has a bold idea in his mind, which is to gather the four major traffic figures in this variety show and make their debut work "Pure Heart·Chasing Dream Showbiz"!
Such a combination will undoubtedly detonate the entertainment industry and become the focus of everyone's attention.

"Tiantian, do you have any impression of the name Bi Zhifei?" Su Zhe asked.

Da Tiantian pondered for a moment, and then showed a look of realization: "Oh, he is our senior brother, right? I remember that he also received a doctorate from Peking University. He is such an amazing person. Even the teacher praised him as Nortel proud."

Su Zhe smiled slightly, with a shrewd light in his eyes: "Send him an invitation and invite him to participate in our show.

I heard that he is currently preparing for his first film that he writes and directs. If he is willing to join our program, his film project team will receive our investment. "

He paused and continued: "Moreover, we can also invite four major traffic stars to cooperate with him. Such a combination will definitely cause a sensation."

With everything arranged properly, Su Zhe was full of confidence.

He believes that as soon as such a lineup is announced, the popularity of the variety show "Dream Showbiz" will surely soar to new heights.

If it doesn't attract huge attention, he would rather believe that Bi Zhifei will become a master in the film industry in the future.

Now that Director Han and Deputy Director Zhang have been dealt with, Su Zhe naturally has no need to keep a low profile anymore.

He specifically instructed Station B to vigorously promote the program "Dream Showbiz" from now on to ensure that it becomes the focus of the audience's attention.
