Chapter 103 We Are A Partnership (3/4)
Many young actors want to act like a psycho, a psychopath...
Show off your acting skills!
This is probably because our academic education follows Western drama.
If you look at all the great actors in Europe, whether it is Isabelle Huppert, Juliette Binoche, or even Eva Green, they all love this type of role.
The reason is quite simple. The dramas they star in usually put people on trial in desperate situations. Is there any character that can better embody human nature than a psychopath or a pervert?
This is the kind of art that academics admire!
Academics believe that art is related to the relationship between life and life, and that art itself is higher than reality. This higher level means that art cannot succumb to reality, but may instead flog reality. This is the high degree of unity between ideology and artistry.
Unfortunately, academics only represent a small group of opinions, and the market and audiences mostly love simple and crude genre films.
Not every psychopath is called a clown!
Back to the topic, Shen Changlin did contact the crew of "Red Sorghum" and recommended Liu Qianqian...
But he himself didn't take it seriously.
Zhou Xun was appointed by Zheng Xiaolong, 30 million...
It's a sky-high price. It's said that Sun Li's salary for starring in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was 300,000 yuan per episode, totaling 22.8 million yuan.
Later, Xinli's "Hot Mom" received a single episode remuneration of 780,000 yuan after tax, and received 29 million yuan!
By comparison, Zhou Xun’s 30 million is not too expensive.
In fact, at this stage, the industry pays actors remuneration. TV drama remuneration = single episode remuneration × number of final edited episodes.
Judging from the 76-episode final cut of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Sun Li's final remuneration should be around 50 episodes. Even if it is 300,000 per episode, her remuneration should be around 15 million.
But after that, the remuneration will no longer be calculated in this way, and the quotation will be directly based on time...
Because A-list stars have very tight schedules. For example, if you are given a drama for three months, the remuneration is 60 million or 120 million...
As it evolved later, the poor business level still did not affect the artist's ability to make money, so it was gradually occupied by various second generations, such as the second generation of stars and the second generation of businessmen.
When former artists were interviewed by reporters, they all liked to say that this industry was too punishing and required too much hardship, and they were determined not to let their children enter the industry!
Now, no one says this kind of thing anymore, right?
Just do it casually, a supporting role, earn six figures a day, just throw some resources, after a small hit, earn a million a day is no problem!
Only fools don't let their children enter the trap.
Work honestly?
Let’s talk about Huawei’s genius plan, the annual salary is only 2 million!
Therefore, young artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan are not popular in the mainland. In addition to political reasons, they pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold their mothers. They come to the mainland to make money, and after making money, they go back to speak ill of the mainland. Investors dare not use Hong Kong and Taiwan artists. If some comments cannot be broadcast or screened, Dafa will be compensated.
The most important thing is that the profits of the mainland entertainment industry are so huge now, how can they give up the cake to Hong Kong and Taiwan artists? They are all thinking of ways to let their children enter the industry and eat the cake.
A bad actor?
Those who ride horses can earn six figures a day by pulling a dung truck, and these people will also arrange for their children to pull the dung truck!
…
Liu Qianqian made it clear that she wanted to play "Wuxin Master"...
Then it can no longer be produced according to the original specifications, and the cast configuration must be upgraded.
However, "Wuxin Master" is unlikely to be broadcast on the stars, and "Tomb Raiders" could not be broadcast on the Taiwanese TV station if it were changed like that. "Wuxin Master" would have to undergo major changes if it wanted to satisfy the TV broadcast...
But you can't change it to Master Wuxin who has been approved by the General Administration. This setting is quite unscientific.
Unless it is changed to ancient times...
If it were changed to ancient times, the entire play would have to be changed.
Therefore, it can only be broadcast online.
We need to discuss it carefully with several major video platforms. After all, the cost is not that of a small online drama...
Moreover, the title of the web drama is not pleasant.
This is not the future. At this stage, online dramas are equal to Low, low-end, and copycats. Of course, the communication intensity is weaker than that of TV dramas.
In the original time and space, Tang Yan took over the filming of "Tomb Raiders". She was very unhappy because she couldn't watch the online drama...
Shen Changlin left the scene in person, the actors probably wouldn't say anything, the focus is still on production.
Don't rush, wait a minute. If Liu Qianqian passes the audition of "Red Sorghum", "Wuxin Master" will not need to be promoted. It will be good to stick to the original routine and praise Chen Yao...
…
"No Man's Land" was released, and Shen Changlin helped support the stage.
It's a normal thing. Ning Hao's "Heart Blossoms Bloom", Changlin Film and Television's main investment, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng are also his good friends...
During the interview, we talked about "No Man's Land" being stuck for four years.
"Maybe the General Administration has their own considerations!"
"Then do you agree with this approach?"
Shen Changlin did not answer directly, but said: "I talked with Ning Hao about mainstream movies, and we agreed that they shouldn't be too dark..."
"When I was in elementary school, I accidentally watched "Black Sun 731" and "The Corpse of the Mountain Village". I was so sick that I couldn't live with it for a month... Including when I was in college, I watched "Oldboy" directed by Park Chan-wook, which also made me feel very unhappy. good…"
"Can a movie only be made with negative energy? The answer is yes. For example, films such as "Dogville", which destroys people's outlook on life, "The Hunt", which is chilling to the core, and "City of God" starring real gangsters, are all examples of this. A masterpiece that releases negative energy. Even Clint Eastwood has made heart-stopping movies like "Million Dollar Baby."
"But you have to have a structure. A negative-energy movie should strive to be a work that alerts the world, rather than simply explaining the criminal process."
"Movies are still very influential, especially since we don't have a rating system..."
"Then do you think it is possible to implement the grading system?"
"It's bullshit. It's a crime for adults to watch any movie. How do you classify it?"
The Criminal Law stipulates that it is illegal to disseminate, publish, copy, sell, transport, and obscene books, periodicals, films, video tapes, audio tapes, pictures and other obscene materials that specifically depict sexual acts or explicitly promote eroticism.
How to grade?
I won’t let you see it before grading, and still won’t let you see it after grading, so why should I grade it?
"Grading does not mean sentimentality..."
"However, most viewers think that the classification is erotic violence, which is true!"
"I heard that you are investing in Ning Hao's next drama? Will he join your company after leaving Galloping Pony?"
Shen Changlin shook his head: "We have a cooperative relationship, Ning Hao has his own company..."
"Then why does he want to cooperate with you?"
"Maybe talented people are attracted to each other... maybe one day I and the poetry-reciting master, Pants, will also collaborate."
…
After all the nonsense, Shen Changlin met Xu Zheng and...Yu Hewei!
"Teacher Yu!"
Before Xu Zheng could introduce himself, Shen Changlin greeted him enthusiastically.
"...Director Shen!"
"Brother Xu, are you friends with Teacher Yu?"
"Well, we are all in the show..."
"I didn't tell you earlier."
Yu Hewei has long been famous. He played the role of Eternal Monument in "The Sky of History". Of course, the focus of that drama was Zhang Fengyi's Jiang Daya and Li Xuejian's Yang Tinghui...
Until Liu Bei in "New Three Kingdoms", he broke the circle a little bit, but it's a pity that "New Three Kingdoms" was criticized in a mess!
