Chapter 422 Happy
Author: I'm Red
"How many people are there?"
Faced with Jin Fangfang's doubts, Xu Rong was unable to answer her immediately because there was no definite answer in her heart.
When he was just popular in 2007, he was completely confused. Before that, except for dreaming at night, he never thought that he would be on the "front line" so quickly. Even if he had made his first five-year plan, he still wanted to play supporting roles in five years, while honing his business level while making money.
Now it seems that it was too natural at that time. The young actors often have different situations based on their connections, popularity and status.
Although the first type always plays supporting roles, there are many invitations. It is a bit tired to stay in the crew for 365 days a year, but its income is comparable to that of most golden collars.
The second type is that the invitation is not too many, but it is not too few. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, I can take on several dramas more or less, and live a life without worrying about food and clothing but not being rich.
The third type is a real little actor, who can only receive a drama after several years.
Most actors in the industry who are "late to greatness" often come from the second type because they have time to prepare for their roles, and have time to review them, and have the opportunity to put their thoughts and insights into practice.
Most importantly, their income also guarantees their lives.
However, due to his tight financial situation at that time, if it were not for Lao Liu's support, it would be impossible for him to take advantage of the popularity of "Bright Sword" to plunge into the tide of anti-Japanese war films and become an anti-Japanese hero who stands upright like Yu Zheng.
But fate is always hard to figure out. He became popular for no reason. Because he followed closely behind, he turned against Chang Jihong. The overnight popularity did not get lost, but made him calm down quickly and began to think about why he became popular and how he could continue to become popular?
Just like his comments at the Feitian Awards, he believes that the most critical factor in his popularity is not self-discipline or his own business level, but that he happened to catch up with a good era and an era when the Chinese film and television industry, especially the TV drama industry, began to collectively compare bad things.
Before and after his popularity, four students from four classes were selected, namely Lu Yi, Huang Sanshi, Li Yapeng, Hu Ping, Ren Quan, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, Yin Xiaotian, Nie Yuangong, Du Zhun, Huo Yan, Zhang Junning, and Cui Lin. These fourteen people basically monopolized most of the top resources from 2000 to 2008.
Please tell each person's representative works separately.
This is the confusion that he encountered when he later analyzed the causes of his popularity and wrote down the names of fourteen people, because he found that more than half of the people had no representative works at all, and several representative works with representative works disappeared after the popularity passed.
The way they keep their popularity is not works, but development is diverse and various gossip news.
The difference between him and the other four students is that he casually talks about a movie he made. Even if "Bright Sword" and "Crossing the Guandong" six or seven years ago, there are at least two TV stations across the country playing it, such as Southern TV and a certain TV station.
It can be said that he is the biggest beneficiary of the overall decline in the average level of the TV drama industry.
After taking a selfie "Ming Dynasty 1566", he had only one idea at that time, whether he could work with Chen Baoguo one day.
So no matter whether the media or peers compare him with his contemporaries, he never gets angry. He has never regarded them as opponents, but it is precisely this mentality of chasing that has left his peers far behind.
In the past, he would occasionally feel fortunate that if he were a colleague of Chen Baoguo and Li Xuejian, who were from the mainland film and television industry, he would probably only be able to play supporting roles in his life because the producers had too much choice.
But now, when he is completely at the top of this industry and has a rock-solid position, he has begun to get tired of or even hate the chaos in the mainland film and television industry, especially the TV series industry.
At first, he wanted to form a demonstration effect through himself and then influence the entire industry, but the facts proved that he was wrong again.
Because of the head of the Central Academy of Drama and the eldest son of the People's Art Theater, Capital would never take huge risks to launch an encirclement against him, but the honor of the 25-year-old Grand Slam forced Capital to take another approach.
Acknowledge his transcendent status as the first in the 80s and lift him up.
This is evident from the fact that major TV stations across the country gave "Snow Leopard" and "Indelible Number" last year.
But the facts did not achieve the expected results. They were jealous of others one step ahead of others. When they were jealous of others one step ahead of others, not only no one was jealous, but no one followed suit, because they were no longer feasible to learn from.
Therefore, he developed a group of actors with excellent business skills within the system to squeeze the living space of so-called idol artists and traffic artists.
In his eyes, the idols ten years ago and the traffic ten years later are essentially no different, but they are just a different statement.
He actually doesn't have a very clear concept of how many people he wants to train, but it's always okay to get thirty or fifty people in the People's Art Theatre, the Central Academy of Drama, and the Beijing Film Academy.
This idea came up with the night before the marriage, when Wang Lei and others were carried out to play.
Traffic artists represented by Han Geng and Yang Mi have become a force that cannot be ignored in today's film and television industry, and have even evolved into a new model. In addition, their fans are mainly young groups, that is, the main force who likes to speak on the Internet. Over time, it is easy to give the public the illusion that they are very popular.
Although they have proved that they are basically of equal appeal with second- and third-tier actors in the film market.
He thought for a while before he raised his gaze a little, looked at Jin Fangfang and said, "About ten."
Jin Fangfang shook her head almost without hesitation: "It's unrealistic. We are just a studio, not a professional film and television production company. Besides, even film and television production companies can't afford to support so many artists."
Xu Xing asked in confusion: "Can't you afford to raise?"
Jin Fangfang explained: "He means that all ten people are trained to become first-line actors, but the more famous they are, the higher the production ratio, and they also have a higher demand for resources. A normal first-line actor needs at least two dramas a year. How many are ten?"
"Twenty movies, and they all have to be high-quality scripts, which means that all the best scripts in China have to be given to these ten people."
Jin Fangfang stood at the table and looked at the three of them: "The bosses of so many film and television companies in China have to be squeezed by the door."
After Jin Fangfang finished speaking, she saw Xu Rong frowning and meditating, and quietly walked to Xiao Zhang and sat down, saying, "Actually, I'm even more curious, why do you do this?"
"Not to say to unite the staff of the People's Art Theater and the Central Academy of Drama."
Xu Rong did not hide it and said, "I want to form an actor team with a relatively high level of business to change the current situation of the film and television industry, especially the actors' collective performance."
Jin Fangfang looked at him for a few seconds and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The formation of a demonstration effect. The current trend of the film and television industry is very wrong. They are eager for quick success and instant benefits and can't do anything. When they appear on the show, they have a set of professional terms such as "reality", "conviction", and "really listen, see, feel, and feel". But once they stand in front of the camera, let alone the horse's butt is exposed, the reputation of this industry will be completely broken."
"What's next?" She shook her head, obviously not confident in his thoughts. "Let me give an example. If Liu Yifei's acting skills are particularly good, would you let her play the female lead in "No War in Peking"?"
Xiao Zhang immediately became energetic because she was the one who was the one who was the one in "Beiping". For this reason, she not only slept with the producer, but also was forced to do many positions that blush and be beating when she remembered.
"Your example is not convincing."
Seeing Xu Rong not answering, Jin Fangfang smiled and said, "I'm making an example. If, first of all, we have to admit that Liu Yifei is indeed more popular than Teacher Xiao Zhang and has a stronger appeal than Teacher Xiao Zhang."
Seeing that Xiao Zhang's smile was a little dry, Jin Fangfang smiled and said, "Of course, these are only temporary. Her height is visible. Unlike Teacher Xiao Zhang's future, there is no limit."
"Where is there?" Xiao Zhang felt a little embarrassed by Jin Fangfang's praise, and quickly waved his hand to deny it.
Seeing Xu Rong looking at Xiao Zhang, she shook her head without hesitation. She put away her smile and said, "Look, you are the same. Don't talk about the issue that capital will definitely give priority to the use of its own actors. You must know that our studio has limited resources. Even if it is reorganized into a company now, it cannot meet your needs."
"Of course, if you really want to change the current situation of the film and television industry, you should not think about standing in the opposite side of the industry and putting yourself in the opposite side of the industry. Don't talk about you, even Han Sanping will be crushed to pieces. If you cut off people's and wealth, people will never mind cutting off your life. Don't think I'll scare you anymore. You said before that the film and television market is a market of hundreds of trillions of billions of dollars, with a profit of trillions of dollars. Don't say that you are just the director of the Central Academy of Drama Department, even if you are the director of the Central Academy of Drama, they dare to do it."
When Xiao Zhang heard that what Xu Rong did might be in danger, he immediately said: "Sister Fangfang, do you have any other good methods?"
She knew that once Teacher Xu had some idea, he would not give up easily.
Jin Fangfang glanced at Xu Rong, stretched out a white finger, and stood up in the air: "It's not a method, it's just a little guess. The first is that Teacher Xu builds an industrial chain that he can control, covering talent training, marketing and publicity, film and television entertainment product manufacturing, and broadcasting platforms, ensuring that you can use your model to prove better than other models. Such an industrial chain, or business empire, is probably not even heard of a sound without a billion investment."
"The second type is that you use administrative means to force it, but that is not what you can do now. If you calculate it according to the rank of the job, I guess at least it must be the second-in-command of the General Administration, right?"
Xu Rong was moved when she heard this. It was not until this time that he understood why Liu Yanming knew the result but was powerless. Taking Jin Fangfang’s so-called “marketing promotion” as an example, she meant that the company had strong publicity capabilities and achieved the same publicity effect without relying on any social and media platforms. Taking the online platform as an example, he had to control a publicity channel with an influence that was not weaker than Weibo.
When he stands opposite to the entire industry, he must be prepared to be enemies with the entire industry and stakeholders.
As for the second type that Jin Fangfang mentioned, it will never be possible for him in his life.
Jin Fangfang paused and said, "Actually, sometimes you have a vague positioning of yourself. In the film and television industry, you are not the most influential actor, but you are definitely the most promising actor in the future, no doubt about it."
"Since you can't stand opposite to everyone, why not establish a mechanism, a mechanism that can cover the entire industry, so that everyone can have the opportunity to become players and become winners?"
"Think about the imperial examination system, you must first grasp the power to formulate rules, and secondly, the rules to formulate rules must conform to the smart principle." Jin Fangfang saw the three of them looking at him in confusion, knowing that he was speaking beyond the rules, and explained, "That is, let players see hope."
Seeing Xu Rong's face showing confusion, Jin Fangfang said, "Do you know the NBA Hall of Fame?"
Xu Rong suddenly realized and understood what Jin Fangfang wanted to express.
"The NBA Hall of Fame has a complete business operation mechanism. It does not mean that a few people close the door and say whoever is elected will be elected. In the context of commercialization, they must be recognized by business. In the case of a combination of market economy and planned economy, the dual endorsement of 'market' and 'plan' is needed. Of course, this selection will in turn boost the favor of the market."
"The film and television industry is also worthy of the same reason. It also needs to set a certain minimum entry threshold. For example, nominations for the three major awards of TV and movies. If you can be selected without even getting the nomination, it will really lower the level of this so-called Hall of Fame."
"Han Geng always calls himself an actor, but if someone puts you and Han Geng in the same honor, you will definitely think that is an insult to you, and it is natural to think that this selection has no meaning at all."
"You are not just an artist who fights alone now. You have certain resources, and these resources cannot be exchanged for money. Since you can't stand it, you must learn to make reasonable use of these resources. Just like Han Sanping's influence on Chinese films, you must become a person that must be mentioned in the history of Chinese film and television development in the future. The word "Xu Rong" will also become a name that cannot be avoided in the history of Chinese film and television, rather than just how many classic film and television works you have created, but what rules you have established that have had far-reaching impact on this industry."
"I think to do this, we must first make preparations. First, we must change the studio to a joint-stock company, bind more communities of interests, and even find more powerful joint actors. Secondly, we must continue to expand your influence in the People's Art Theater, and jointly formulate the rules of this game with leading domestic companies and institutions such as Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, Shanghai Film Academy, China Film Academy, Shanghai Film Academy, Huayi, Hairun, etc., but one thing to note is that you must be able to ensure that the rules of this game are not interfered with, distorted and deformed by external forces before forming a complete operating mechanism."
The three of them were stunned for a moment when they listened to the grand blueprint drawn by Jin Fangfang.
Xu Rong stared at Jin Fangfang for a long time, and at some point he said suddenly: "It's the New Year, don't talk about work, just have some fun."
