Chapter 749 The Characteristics of Zhao Laoyan(1/2)
It was not a coincidence that Zhao Laoyan met Yang Ming. He happened to be at Phoenix TV station to discuss the filming and release of his TV series with Wu Yuanzhi.
The studio he established by himself basically carries out all work around Zhao Laoyan himself. Basically, he plays the leading role in the TV series currently filmed. In addition, his apprentices and all his partners also play various roles in the TV series.
After the studio was established, with the scripts provided by Yang Ming, several TV series were filmed with good ratings.
But then, Yang Ming's focus shifted to movies, and he didn't pay much attention to TV series. After Zhao Laoyan made a few TV series, the ratings were good, and his self-confidence was somewhat expanded, so he made a TV series by himself, but the effect was not good.
Not very good.
This TV series cannot be said to be a failure, it can only be said that it did not achieve Zhao Laoyan's expected goals, and the audience's response was not very good.
So, when he heard that Yang Ming happened to be at Phoenix TV this time, he wanted to learn from this young man who was famous for his genius.
The three of them found a relatively quiet corner in a cafe under the TV station building, ordered three cups of coffee and sat down.
Yang Ming looked at his watch. It was already too late to go to his grandfather's place anyway, so he would just wait until night.
He sat down and began to listen to Zhao Laoyan's introduction to his last TV series.
After a long time, after Yang Ming listened to Zhao Laoyan's words and thought about it for a while, he realized why Zhao Laoyan's previous TV series was not successful.
——Dong dong.
Yang Ming tapped his fingers on the table, then took a sip of coffee and thought: "It seems that Mr. Zhao, you have not determined what kind of actor you are, or you have not specifically analyzed what kind of audience you want to target.
object."
"Positioning?" Zhao Laoyan looked at Yang Ming in confusion. It was a bit difficult for him to understand the meaning behind this word.
Not to mention Zhao Laoyan, even Wu Yuanzhi looked puzzled when he heard Yang Ming's words. She had nothing to do with her, but she preferred to listen to Yang Ming's unique remarks, so she came with her.
.
Seeing that Zhao Laoyan and Wu Yuanzhi both had confused looks on their faces, Yang Ming coughed dryly and then asked softly: "Teacher Zhao, have you ever thought about where your greatest feature is?"
"Comedian!" Wu Yuanzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was the first to say that Zhao Laoyan made his debut by performing a sketch at the Spring Festival Gala and became popular throughout China. Everyone knows about his comedy talent.
Zhao Laoyan looked at Yang Ming without saying anything, obviously he also agreed with Wu Yuanzhi's meaning.
Yang Ming shook his head slightly, sorted out the words and said: "Comedians are only what Mr. Zhao is good at, not the most shining feature of Mr. Zhao. It is this feature that makes Mr. Zhao perform during the Spring Festival every year.
The party is so successful and has so many supporters that I stay up late every year just to watch Teacher Zhao’s skits.”
Hearing Yang Ming's words, Zhao Laoyan suddenly became curious. He looked stunned, and then asked: "I really haven't paid attention to these myself. Please teach me, Yang Ming!"
Having said this, Zhao Laoyan showed a humble look on his face. The young man sitting in front of him now was not the immature student in his second year, nor was he a newcomer who was disliked and ridiculed by everyone when he first debuted.
The man sitting opposite him now is known as a genius and a monster. "2012" swept all the movies of the same period, and basically dominated the box office rankings of movies in various countries, both at home and abroad.
It can be said that Yang Ming's current status in the entertainment industry cannot be ignored. He is looked up to by everyone. Coupled with the media resources at his disposal, it is not impossible for Yang Ming to become a giant.
When Yang Ming heard Zhao Laoyan's words at this time, he was not at all arrogant. Instead, he said more humbly: "Teacher Zhao, you are serious."
"Actually, I think the biggest characteristic of Teacher Zhao is the atmosphere of the countryside and the representativeness of farmers. As long as Teacher Zhao appears in the camera, he seems to be a very familiar person in the village, an ordinary person living in our reality."
"Perhaps Teacher Zhao thinks I am saying that you are very 'unfashionable', and it is not unreasonable to say so, but actors who can be 'unfashionable' with their own characteristics and style are indeed very rare!"
After hearing what Yang Ming said, both Zhao Laoyan and Wu Yuanzhi were stunned. They really didn't expect that Yang Ming would say something different.
While Wu Yuanzhi was worried that Yang Ming's words would irritate Zhao Laoyan, Zhao Laoyan had a calm expression and said with a relaxed smile: "Okay, Yang Ming said it well. I have always liked to play the role of a farmer, but I never thought about it." I don’t know why, but today I seem to understand where my previous TV series failed.”
Yang Ming also smiled and nodded when he heard this.
In the last TV series, Zhao Laoyan changed the peasant role that Yang Ming had given him in the script before. Instead, in order to seek a breakthrough, he placed the protagonist in the city in the city, and the role was not a minor character.
In this way, Zhao Laoyan lost his biggest characteristic. No wonder the audience didn't buy it and felt that Zhao Laoyan was no longer the Zhao Laoyan before.
To be honest, as soon as Yang Ming heard Zhao Laoyan talking about his previous TV series, he already thought of the crux.
He thought for a while and said: "Teacher Zhao, I don't think I have time these days. I'll give you another script in a few days. As long as this script is successful, it shouldn't be a problem to make three or four movies!"
Yang Ming has already thought of the script that is most suitable for Zhao Laoyan, and that is "Country Love Story". This TV series reflects rural love life. It is a TV series about rural life that is so "dirty" that it has no ratings at all. earth.
Especially in the Northeast, the ratings are very high, and the ratings in rural areas are also very impressive.
It can be said that this TV series is a typical TV series targeted at specific groups of people.
Zhao Laoyan's studio has Yang Ming's general shares, so he naturally doesn't mind giving this script to Zhao Laoyan to film, and the money he makes will be half of him anyway.
Besides, when it comes to TV series like this, it is estimated that only Zhao Laoyan in the Chinese entertainment industry can star in it.
It's a pity that Yang Ming has not discovered the 'Brother Biao' in this life. If there was a 'Brother Biao', then "Ma Dashuai" could be filmed by Zhao Laoyan.
But he was afraid that Zhao Laoyan could not find someone suitable for the role of 'Brother Biao'. You must know that 'Brother Biao' was an actor that Yang Ming liked very much in his previous life.
Next, Zhao Laoyan couldn't wait to ask Yang Ming if he had any general plot ideas. He knew that the young man in front of him had terrifying abilities in screenwriting.
Who in the entertainment industry today doesn't know that scripts and songs written by Yang Ming are money-spinners. Any script he writes will make money if it is filmed.
Although Oriental DreamWorks now has its own screenwriting team, they have just been established and cannot be compared with Yang Ming.
Zhao Laoyan even heard that several giants in the entertainment industry had wanted to spend a lot of money to ask Yang Ming to write a script for them, but they all failed.
I didn't expect that he could get Yang Ming's script so easily. He probably took advantage of the fact that his studio has a general share of Yang Ming, otherwise this guy would never come up with a script that suits him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Laoyan couldn't help but feel a little glad that he had chosen to cooperate with Yang Ming.
Making money is a trivial matter, but through his screen image in TV series, his acting career and influence can be taken to a higher level. That is the most important thing to Zhao Laoyan.
Yang Ming was forced to have no choice, and Wu Yuanzhi was joking on the side. He checked the time, and before he had time, he roughly gave a summary of the plot of "Country Love Story", which immediately made Zhao Laoyan like it very much. He just wanted to marry him.
Tailor-made by my own disciples.
Especially this kind of TV series with rural themes really put him in a state of obsession.
It comes to the bottom of Zhao Laoyan's heart.
After Yang Ming promised to get the script out as soon as possible, he said goodbye to Wu Yuanzhi and Zhao Laoyan and took a car to his grandfather's house.
The entrance of a luxury villa in Guangdong.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Ming took a taxi to the door of the villa according to the address given by his mother.
Looking at this villa with deep greenery, this is the first time Yang Ming has come to his grandpa since he was a child.
If it weren't for the last time that his grandfather and uncle went to their hometown in Fuzhou to find their parents, and after communicating with their mother, they finally resolved the estrangement for many years, Yang Ming believed that he would not come to this place forever, even though this courtyard is a place that many people yearn for.
"Who are you? Why are you standing at the door?"
At this time, a young man driving a sports car, wearing luxurious clothes and brand-name brands got out of the car and asked Yang Ming with a slightly unhappy attitude.
When Yang Ming came to his grandfather's place, he didn't think too much. His mother had already prepared gifts and other things. Anyway, the family was not short of money and bought some unique gifts. However, he himself was very casual and dressed very ordinary.
Blue down jacket, jeans, sneakers, this is Yang Minglei's usual dressing image.
Unless he has to attend an award ceremony or hold a press conference, he will pay a little more attention and dress more formally.
In fact, Yang Ming has his own stylist, who designs various looks for him, whether it's hairstyle or dressing up.
But that is only used when attending various parties and ceremonies.
He rarely appears in public, so he rarely spends time to deal with his own style and wear whatever is comfortable for him.
Of course, this is also because Yang Ming is the boss of the company, so he is so casual. If it were other artists, it would be impossible for him to have the confidence to be as casual as him.
When Yang Ming saw this arrogant young man questioning him, he looked indifferent and ignored him, and continued to walk forward.
This is the way he is. If others respect him, he will respect others as well.
In his heart, he had a lot of opinions about how some people in the Li family used various means to force his mother to leave the Li family. But when he saw his gray-haired grandfather, he traveled all the way to Fuzhou to meet with his mother in person to resolve the grudges.
He didn't pursue too much.
Otherwise, according to his character, he must give these people some good looks.
None of the giants in the entertainment industry at home and abroad could make him bow his head, let alone others.
"Hey, I'm asking you something, you bastard!" Seeing that Yang Ming ignored him and looked like he didn't take him to heart, the young man immediately became angry. No one had ever dared to do this to him, so he immediately went to the police.
He was ready to point at Yang Ming.
Seeing the finger in front of him, Yang Ming's eyes flashed sharply, and then he grabbed the young man's finger with his right hand and pulled it slightly.
--ah!!!!
The young man who smelled of strong perfume suddenly screamed.
Then he immediately started yelling: "Do you know who I am? Let go of my hand, or I will let you go to jail!"
While the young man was spitting out dirty words, Yang Ming smiled slightly and said, "If you are rude again, I won't mind breaking your fingers!"
To be honest, Yang Ming has been practicing martial arts for more than a year. Coupled with his unremitting training, this young man's martial arts value cannot be compared with Yang Ming at all.
Yang Ming grasped the vital point, and there was no resistance at all.
Yang Ming knew that this was his grandfather's house and didn't want to cause too much trouble. Then he flicked his right hand, let go of the young man, and strode towards the door of the villa.
At this time, the guard at the door also noticed what was going on here, and immediately reached out to stop him: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Hearing the guard's question and the unkind look on his face, Yang Ming frowned. The other party's attitude made him very uncomfortable, but he still restrained himself and said, "I am Li Zongde's grandson, and I am here to pay my grandpa a New Year's greeting!"
The guard was shocked when he heard this, but when he came to his senses, he seemed to have never seen this young man before. Moreover, the other party said that he was the grandson of the head of the Li family, and he had never heard of such a person.
