Magic Modified Huayu

"It's not bad, it's unconventional. You'll know after watching two more episodes."

Zhou Ye was a little curious: "I definitely want to watch it. By the way, Director Wei, I'm not sure about a play right now. Can you help me analyze it?"

"What drama?"

"It's a drama adapted from a BL novel, but it will definitely be changed to a normal one after it's released. I'll be given the female lead role."

Zhou Ye hesitated a bit: "I know that playing the leading role in a BL drama is bound to be a minor role, but the company suggested that I take it, saying that this drama is likely to be a hit, and after all, I am the leading actress."

Director Wei recalled that Zhou Ye should be talking about "Word of Honor".

In fact, in this world, Wheat Bran’s play has much less influence.

But the market is the market after all.

Do not be affected by human intervention or even the power of righteousness.

Capital is profit-seeking.

There is no shortage of smart people.

When capital sees the market for wheat bran, it is still difficult to let go of this piece of fat meat.

Although there is definitely suppression from above.

However, after this kind of drama was adapted, the two male protagonists became close friends on the surface.

The core of business is still bran.

The same goes for the selling point.

But the surface work is done well.

So it is difficult to ban it completely.

The drama ran into problems in the end because the male lead went bankrupt.

The male lead is under Zhao Zhatian.

Like Zhao Zhatian, his stance is problematic.

Go to the neighboring country where life is good to visit that thing.

Whoever crosses this red line will die.

If the military chess incident involving Zhao Zhatian happened now, she would have been banned long ago.

The following artists followed the boss of that time and their deaths were not unjust.

Most of the other dramas produced by Mai Bran were restricted due to issues with their direction.

The drama didn't even get to that point, it was ruined by the male lead.

Director Wei thought of this and said in a strange tone, "Don't take it. Are you short of scenes to shoot?"

"Yes, Director Wei, we are short of scenes for the female lead."

"You're a 98 graduate, and you haven't even graduated yet, so why are you in such a hurry?" Director Wei grumbled, "It's not too late to worry about your career after you graduate. Even if you become a big hit now, you won't have the energy to work on it. You might as well work hard after graduation. For now, just focus on improving your image, winning awards, and gaining audience popularity. Hone your acting skills, and you'll never be short of roles in the future."

There are many dramas being filmed in the circle every year.

There are also many on Station A.

Even though Director Wei has a lot of fleeting romances now, he can still sort them out.

There are always some low-budget plays that require young people with good value for money.

Zhou Ye was overjoyed: "Director Wei, I'll listen to you. I didn't want to take on this kind of BL drama in the first place. Which serious actor would want to play this kind of drama? But the company wants me to take it."

Director Wei believed this.

Serious actors really don’t want to take on roles that are not very popular.

Zhu Yilong and Bai Yu also became famous through Mai Fu's "Guardian".

After becoming famous, the two of them almost never appeared in the same frame.

He basically never mentions "Guardian".

Even after several years, this is still the source of their traffic.

But I would never mention it.

Even male actors don’t want to take the role, let alone female actors.

Who goes to see a Wheat Bran play to see the actresses?

It is no exaggeration to say that actresses are there to be scolded in this kind of drama.

Of course, the agency knows this.

However, given the domestic environment, it is impossible to have a straight-forward relationship. A female lead is also necessary, and she also needs to have more roles.

Even the pay has to be increased.

Because you have to add the money the heroine got scolded for.

In this case, of course the agency wants to make money.

This is also one of the disadvantages of being controlled by an agency.

Brokerage companies are professional, but their purpose is to make a profit.

Although family members may be short-sighted, most of them care more about celebrities.

Nothing can be perfect.

But Director Wei still prefers to choose an agency.

Because most of the time, as long as the actor clearly expresses that he does not want to take a certain role, the agency cannot force you.

It's 2018 now, forced buying and selling is not popular.

There are always people who are willing to be scolded in order to make money.

If you don't want to go, just change someone else.

The thing that the entertainment industry has the most is people.

"Shou Bing should know that you are mine, she won't force you." Director Wei said.

Zhou Ye nodded: "Sister Bingbing does know, but I don't dare to put on airs, for fear of causing trouble for you, Director Wei."

Director Wei smiled and pinched Zhou Ye's pretty face.

Of course he knew that the little girl was pretending to be well-behaved.

But it's still comfortable.

"Director Wei, Sister Bingbing asked me to remind you to be careful of Pang Bing. She said Pang Bing has been in a lot of trouble lately, and he might turn to you, Director Wei, in a desperate attempt to find a cure. Please lend a hand, Director Wei."

Zhou Ye dutifully acted as his messenger: "Sister Bingbing said that Pang Bing's troubles don't come from the entertainment industry. Boss, when you're filming, you only need to consider whether it's suitable. But no matter how suitable it is, try not to use Pang Bing. Any role that Pang Bing can play, Sister Bingbing can play."

Director Wei was amused.

"The swordplay between the big-name actresses is still more direct than you 95-year-old girls."

"Indeed, I didn't expect Sister Bingbing to be so blunt."

"The four Dans and the two Bings have been entangled in grievances for too many years. If we can kill one of them, it's one. There's no way to resolve it. As for Fat Bing, I really didn't intend to have any entanglement with her."

"originally?"

Zhou Ye grasped the key point.

Director Wei seemed to be thinking: "It was you, or rather Shoubing, who reminded me that Fatty Bing's troubles are a very suitable subject for filming."

"What's so interesting about Pang Bing's troubles?" Zhou Ye was puzzled. "Are audiences interested in stories about female celebrities in the entertainment industry?" "It's not a story about female celebrities in the entertainment industry, it's the story of the man behind Pang Bing."

An idea emerged in Director Wei's mind.

Zhang Yimou later made a movie called "Rock Solid", which tells the story of collusion between customs and businessmen.

Director Wei has seen it and it’s actually okay, but the degree of completion is not high and it has been cut too much.

But Director Wei plans to turn the market overseas later.

He certainly had no interest in "Rock Solid."

The villains played by Yu Hewei are still too small.

But what if the businessman villain played by Yu Hewei was replaced by Boss Xu?

The story of the richest man who went from being a poor boy to the richest man, and then to the biggest loser.

There is so much material to be mined.

Chapter 259: Twin female stars, the richest man and the most popular actress, and the attacking director Wei

It is said that art comes from reality, but most art cannot keep up with the exaggeration of reality.

Especially modern urban TV dramas.

Those bosses in modern urban TV dramas who make the audience feel too rich are all younger brothers when compared to the real Boss Xu.

Even if he plays the villain businessman in various recurring TV dramas and suspense crime dramas, he is still a younger brother when he meets Boss Xu.

Modern urban dramas dare not film about Boss Xu’s status and the things he did.

But Director Wei knew that Boss Xu was about to fall.

There is already a problem with Evergrande.

Sister Bayi has been implicated.

Then Director Wei is certainly not afraid of Boss Xu.

And his next drama will mainly target overseas markets.

Therefore, Director Wei instantly became interested in Boss Xu's story.

"A story about the richest man in China and the most popular female star in the country. These two people are portrayed as the male and female protagonists, and the script is based on their life prototypes. Gee, I'm so excited. There's definitely a market for this subject matter."

Any normal person can judge whether a subject has market value.

Director Wei certainly has better judgment.

He found it hard to believe that the story wouldn't appeal to the audience.

The only thing to worry about is that the audience will find the real world too magical.

Because Boss Xu's story of making a fortune and Sister Bayi's story of rising to power are probably even more exaggerated than what most audiences can accept.

Zhou Ye also agreed with Director Wei that there would definitely be a market for this subject matter.

But she was a little confused.

"Director Wei, this subject can't be filmed, right?"

Director Wei calmly said, "What's wrong with me filming for overseas audiences?"

Zhou Ye: "...Isn't this just trying to cover up one's mistakes and steal the bell?"

"Yezi, you're still young. You don't know that many things in this world are just self-deception. As long as you can save face, that's enough."

"Then I'm done."

"How did you finish?"

"I created such a good job opportunity for Fat Ice. My boss, Thin Ice, will definitely tear me apart."

"It's okay. If you tear it up, you're breaking the law."

Director Wei was very calm.

"Besides, it's highly likely that Pang Bing won't make it in China. The new regulations are to let bygones be bygones, to protect the show but not the actress. She has no chance in China."

"uncertain."

Zhou Ye expressed different opinions.

"Director Wei, you haven't had much contact with Pang Bing. According to my boss Shou Bing, Pang Bing's network of connections is far-reaching."

Director Wei sneered.

Zhou Ye said seriously, "Director Wei, I'm not lying to you. Think about it, with Pang Bing's popularity, consecutive top spots on the Forbes China Celebrity List, and her face that looks like it could have been done through plastic surgery... If you say she has no connection with any of the big guys besides Boss Xu, I definitely don't believe it."
