In the eyes of ordinary people, stars in the entertainment industry are undoubtedly dazzling and their appearance is even more glamorous.

But only Yang Ming and the others know that with the development of the entertainment industry, all kinds of things, big and small, are gradually becoming more utilitarian.

More than ten years ago, even the most popular stars and top actors at that time basically lived alone. Not to mention the operation team that is now standard among celebrities, even most actors did not even have an agent.

Why?

Because times have changed.

In the past, even when celebrities were at their most valuable, their salary for a single film would hardly exceed one million, but now as long as they are second-tier celebrities, their salary can easily exceed ten million.

With tens of millions of dollars involved, it is reasonable for celebrities to form professional teams to maintain and operate their image in front of the public.

Therefore, under this situation, the development of the entertainment industry has gradually changed a bit.

All kinds of hype, all kinds of scandals, all kinds of rumors, under the operation of the celebrity management team, as long as news and information that is beneficial to the exposure of celebrities and increase their popularity will frequently appear in media reports, it is impossible for the public to really see that after countless

The real face of the star is hidden behind the packaging.

This was true in the past life, and this life is no exception.

Yang Ming looked at Huang Xiaofeng's thoughtful look and did not disturb him. He was thinking about some things in his memory and a word came to his mind.

Fan position!

No one in the entertainment industry may know about it in this life, but in the previous life everyone knew about it.

The concept of "fan position" is actually an import from Japan. Most of the previous domestic film and television dramas still measured the importance of actors based on the male protagonist and the female protagonist. Most of the actor contracts back then would only stipulate the number of roles for each person.

On the posters and various subtitles, except for the "lead" male and female protagonists, most of the others are sorted by the number of roles. Some crews simply sort by the phonetic order of the last name and the strokes of the last name.

With the development of the industry, the formats of film and television dramas have also changed in recent years. While celebrities pay attention to substantive roles, they also begin to pay attention to red tape such as "role". There are more and more "double male protagonists" and "two female protagonists".

"Main" type film and television works appear, actors

The ranking order on the table has become a new battlefield for celebrities, commonly known as "fighting for position." The artist's position, the title of the appearance, the ranking of the poster, and even the number of flower baskets during the promotion process, the size of the dressing room

Issues such as remuneration must be written into the contract.

The difference in rank also means the difference in the celebrity’s treatment and status!

Have you ever noticed that in some movies in the past, big stars only showed their faces, but they were ranked at the top of the cast list?

Why?

This is the rank.

In previous lives, the development of the entertainment industry has gradually become abnormal.

Actors gradually no longer focus on perfecting their acting skills, but instead focus on packaging, marketing, and planning. All methods that are beneficial to increasing popularity will be valued by them.

This is what countless netizens later dubbed the "carpet star" incident.

Several celebrities who had no one to call out or think of the names of their works actually walked the red carpet at individual film festivals abroad, and then sent the photos back to China for gold plating!

At first, countless netizens believed it to be true, thinking that it was all high-end and classy, ​​but later they realized that it was all hype.

Popularity and packaging gradually replaced the importance of the work. In the past life, it was very popular. Under the packaging of the operating team and brokerage company behind it, countless pedestrians would become tomorrow's new stars, just like they had achieved countless achievements in the past.

Yang Ming has seen too much of this phenomenon and understands it deeply.

When he was hanging out on the set, he witnessed many new actors using various small things to attract the attention of fans and increase their fame under the careful planning of the team.

To be honest, Yang Ming himself is not a saint, and he cannot tolerate such behavior.

Because he knows that with the development of the entertainment industry, these things are inevitable.

The world is as black as crows!

It is a virtue whether at home or abroad.

It's just that he doesn't want Oriental DreamWorks to gradually become like this in the near future.

I also don’t want Huang Xiaofeng to become such a person.

Because of "The Fast and the Furious", Huang Xiaofeng's popularity has undoubtedly become extremely popular, and his status in the entertainment industry has soared, and his status in the entertainment industry has also increased dramatically.

Under this situation, if she chooses to star in a TV series, it will be a setback for her career.

As for Huang Xiaofeng's success, Yang Ming, as the director, obviously occupies a very important position.

He didn't want to leave the impression that he was holding on to his favor, so what he just said was very clear, his tone was very calm, and he didn't reveal too much that he wanted Huang Xiaofeng to star.

After a while, Huang Xiaofeng's expression changed for a while, then she raised her head and said to Yang Ming: "Can I read the script first?"

There is seriousness and solemnity in her eyes. After getting along and cooperating in "The Fast and the Furious", she knows Yang Ming's temper very well.

This is a young man who has strict requirements for details.

She even doubted whether Yang Ming had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

On the set, even for a small mistake, the other party will spend time starting over.

Huang Xiaofeng has worked with many directors. She believes that in that situation, if it were another director, it would have been over long ago and there would be no reshoots at all.

But Yang Ming will.

For such a serious young man, since there is a role in a TV series that is very suitable for her, a character that can be remembered for a lifetime, then there will be no water in what the other party said.

Today, Huang Xiaofeng has become a first-line actress in the entertainment industry.

Success and fame were already a reality for her.

But it is impossible to say that she has no pursuit in her heart.

Unlike those actors who were born in majors, she has a natural affinity for winning awards. On the contrary, she has never won an award in the movies she has appeared in several times.

It is impossible to say that Huang Xiaofeng has no regrets in her heart.

Now that she has money, all that's left is fame and fortune.

Although she is a woman, she also wants to prove something, to prove that she is a pretty good and qualified actress.

Therefore, even though she knew that once she chose to take the role of Yang Ming in the TV series, her acting career would be more or less setback, she was still a little moved.

After all, this is a character that can be recalled by countless audiences for twenty years.

This is enough.

Yang Ming seemed to have expected Huang Xiaofeng's answer. He smiled faintly and then took out a script and handed it to Huang Xiaofeng.

This is something I worked overtime over the past few days to come up with.

Huang Xiaofeng took the script without saying a word, lowered her head and started reading.

Yang Ming did not disturb the other party, but opened his laptop to read the news online. He knew that Huang Xiaofeng would definitely spend a lot of time reading the script.

Two hours later.

Huang Xiaofeng did not read the script from beginning to end in detail word for word. She only read the beginning and the end in detail, and flipped through it quickly in the middle.

Even though she didn't read the script from beginning to end in detail, she was still deeply attracted by it.

To be honest, the story of this script is not new, and is even very old-fashioned.

But Huang Xiaofeng felt very fresh.

Especially the arias from the Huangmei Opera made her hum in a low voice.

Because she is from Anhui herself.

Maybe not every Anhui person likes Huangmei Opera, but every Anhui person must know Huangmei Opera, especially nowadays, there are too many people in Anhui, Hubei, and Jiangxi who like to listen to Huangmei Opera.

And Huang Xiaofeng is one of them.

When Yang Ming heard Huang Xiaofeng couldn't help humming the Huangmei opera according to the words and phrases in the script, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly. He knew that the role of Xu Xian should be finalized.

At first, he made the decision in his heart to let Huang Xiaofeng play the role of Xu Xian. In addition to her acting skills being qualified for the role and her popularity, which would help increase the ratings, there was another reason: Huang Xiaofeng was from Anhui, and her personal reputation online

In the column of hobbies in the information, the words "Huangmei Opera" are prominently written.

If Yang Ming didn't look for her first, who else could he look for?

"Director Yang!" After reading the script, Huang Xiaofeng couldn't help but stretch out, rub his eyes that were sore from reading the script for a long time, and said using the name he used to call Yang Ming on the set: "I accepted this film, I'm very happy

I like the character Xu Xian!”

Although Huang Xiaofeng did not come from a professional background, she has been able to reach this point in her acting career, and she still has a good eye for scripts.

She just watched a little bit of the beginning and decided in her heart that she wanted to take the role.

Undoubtedly, if this TV series is successful, Huang Xiaofeng's role as Xu Xian will definitely become a beautiful scene that cannot be ignored in period films, as Yang Ming said, and will be remembered by countless people.

Moreover, Huang Xiaofeng often discussed movies with Mingjing. Mingjing came from an authentic academic background. Under Mingjing's words and deeds, Huang Xiaofeng would more or less be infected with the "art-crazy" behavior.

Therefore, she agreed very readily and accepted the role of Xu Xian in "The Legend of White Snake".

--hehe!

Yang Ming laughed heartily when he heard this: "Congratulations to Sister Xiaofeng for making a wise decision."

Hearing what Yang Ming said, Huang Xiaofeng gave him a blank look.

After working together on "The Fast and the Furious", everyone is already acquainted with each other, and whether Huang Xiaofeng's personal studio is now affiliated with Oriental DreamWorks, or Mingjing is a contracted director of Oriental DreamWorks, with these interests involved,
