The door of the adjacent suite is closed. This is where small supporting roles and other roles are auditioned.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei wanted to say hello and explore the situation, but they thought about their busy scene and forgot about it.
The competition for small supporting roles is often more intense than for important roles, and the situations involving sophistication and interests are also more complicated. This situation is caused by the fact that there are many more low-level actors than popular ones. With a large staff base, the competition will naturally be more intense.
For example, for those who came to audition for the three major villains, the number of actors auditioning for each role was only about ten.
When I came to audition for those small supporting roles, the list of audition actors for each role started with twenty or thirty people.
Small supporting roles do not have high requirements for actors, and even a group of actors can interpret them well. So if the requirements are not high, how do you stand out from dozens of people who may be of the same level? There are many who give money and trust people.
Such situations in relationships occur.
There is obviously a director on the crew, why do we need a casting director?
At the beginning, the original intention was to assist the director in selecting good actors. After all, there are dozens of named characters in a drama. Directors and producers do not have that much energy to select actors and casting directors for the roles one by one.
The team's responsibility is to select the best possible actors for the supporting roles, so as to reduce the burden on the director team and producers.
As the transfer of interests in the industry has gradually become the norm, the nature of the position of casting director has also changed. In addition to relieving the director team and producers of a lot of casting burdens, they must also help directors and producers
The messy things that may happen are blocking his level.
Chu Xuan sometimes thinks this is ironic. He and Liu Yifei have designed a lot of plots that allude to unspoken rules. The upcoming filming of "Star You" also has the intention of cracking down on the unspoken rules of the industry, but in reality, his crew has unspoken rules every day.
the occurrence of the event.
There's nothing you can do about it. People just want to get high by giving away money, and they just want to rely on connections to engage in unfair competition. This can be regarded as a manifestation of the law of the jungle in society, and no one can change it.
People can control themselves, but they can't stop others from coming out.
No matter what, Liang Datong guaranteed that he would complete all the audition tasks before the year, and it would not delay the production efficiency of the crew. With this guarantee, the couple can go home for the New Year with peace of mind. In the next period of time,
I don’t have to worry about auditioning for supporting roles anymore, and I can have a good New Year.
"Teachers, I wish you a happy New Year and a happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
In the underground parking lot, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei said goodbye to their teachers for a while, said hello to each other and then drove home to celebrate the New Year.
This year's New Year's Eve was arranged by Liu Xiaoli in her small villa. In addition to their family of three, there were also three members of Wang Jinhua, Dong Zhihua and Dong Zijian's family.
Liu Xiaoli originally wanted to invite Hu Jun, Li Zhengtong and others to have a party together, but on the eve of New Year's Day, her elder brothers and sisters each had business affairs and had no time to come.
Since Mango Channel pioneered the New Year's Eve party in 2005, major TV stations have rushed to imitate it.
As a result, there is a saying in the industry that there are commercial performances every day, and the prices are higher during the New Year.
In order to compete for popular celebrities to perform and improve the ratings competitiveness of the New Year's Eve party, the commercial value of stars in the circle during the New Year's Eve event will always exceed the ordinary.
You can get hundreds of thousands for singing one song, and you can get one or two million for singing a few more songs. You can make this kind of money in one night, which is why most stars in the industry flock to it.
In Chu Xuan's view, within a few years, domestic TV stations will form an unprecedented tacit understanding and join forces to suppress the situation where artists are required to increase their commercial value every New Year's Eve, thereby turning the live New Year's Eve into a tricky recording.
.
Since it is a recording and broadcasting, an artist can participate in multiple New Year's Eve parties. Although the money will be more, each TV station will pay less, and the market will only look at the artist's single commercial performance value, which is a disguised form.
This has suppressed the high remuneration situation for artists.
However, the current New Year's Eve party is still broadcast in the form of live broadcast, and celebrities in the industry can still sit there and raise their prices for several years.
"It's time to eat!"
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky became dark.
Wang Jinhua was carrying chicken soup, and Liu Xiaoli was carrying the last dish of plasma duck. The two sisters walked out of the kitchen and informed everyone sitting and chatting in the living room to start dinner, which also announced the beginning of New Year's Eve.
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Dong Zhihua and Dong Zijian got up from the sofa and walked towards the restaurant happily.
In addition to the two families, Han Sanping was also invited just now.
On that day in the middle of this month, Chu Xuan talked about an industrial development framework, but had no specific development ideas.
Han Sanping laughed and said that Chu Xuan was trying to whet his appetite. Chu Xuan made a small agreement with Han Sanping. He hoped that Han Sanping could come to have a dinner together on New Year's Eve and said that he would definitely come up with specific ideas to discuss with Han Sanping during this period.
Chu Xuan was very firm in what he said, and he also had a strong heart for industrialization. This suited Han Sanping very well, so he agreed and came over this afternoon as promised.
New Year's Eve is not a tradition in his family. Tomorrow's New Year's Day and New Year's Day dinner are the theme at their house.
It was precisely because of this that he agreed to Chu Xuan coming over to get together today.
One is to be interested in whether Chu Xuan has any specific ideas, and the other is to come to the two families to join in the fun and feel the warm atmosphere.
"Come on, let's have the first cup. Don't say happy New Year for now, just say happy and happy. Let's celebrate the New Year after midnight." Liu Xiaoli picked up the wine glass and spoke.
What he said made Han Sanping dumbfounded: "Are you planning to eat this meal from six o'clock to twelve o'clock?"
"It's necessary, for New Year's Eve." Wang Jinhua nodded.
"There are so many dishes, let's eat slowly." Liu Yifei said.
On the New Year's Eve, she was reunited with her family, and the audition for an important role was also completed today, which made her in a good mood, and she happily picked up the small wine glass filled with a penny of white wine.
Everyone drank the first glass of wine together, Dong Zijian drank peanut milk.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Han Sanping put down his wine glass, picked up his chopsticks and looked at Chu Xuan: "Xiao Xuan, where are your ideas?"
He reached out to pick up the vegetables and waited for Chu Xuan's reply.
Liu Xiaoli scooped out chicken soup with a spoon, and Wang Jinhua held shredded potatoes. They each glanced at Chu Xuan, with some interest in their eyes.
Han Sanping was able to come to them today largely because Chu Xuan wanted to discuss industrialization with him.
Chu Xuan also said that he would work out a specific plan in these days, but I don’t know if this kid has thought about it yet.
Chu Xuan smiled and mentioned this matter just after dinner started. He was somewhat caught off guard and said, "Third brother, let's eat the food first. We won't finish the audition until this afternoon. Let me review my thoughts again."
Han Sanping nodded slightly and chatted with Wang Jinhua and the others while eating, allowing Chu Xuan to slowly sort out his thoughts.
Chu Xuan was eating his food and sorting out his thoughts in his mind.
These days, when auditioning during the day, he and Liu Yifei would discuss industrialization at night.
A sudden inspiration that day led him to come up with a grand framework for industrialization to follow the Hua Wei route.
In this framework, Shenghai's Wang Yuan represents the script side, Shenghai's Tang Ren represents the film and television side, and the binding cooperation between the two companies is the basic method to realize a complete closed loop from screenwriting to film and television production.
Later, Fuhuadao Industry was added into the loop, and finally a complete closed loop was formed, creating a new structure for film and television production.
Then copy this structural model to some cities across the country, and eventually allow this new structure to expand infinitely and evolve into a new economic system for the entertainment industry with a profit network.
This is the industrialization development framework he mentioned that day. It is far-reaching and ambitious. It was so grand that he was so excited that he said it in public, because this development framework is very similar to Hua Wei's future development model, and Hua Wei will also use it in the future.
This development model was a huge success, so this inspiration made him excited.
After calming down, he realized that he had been abrupt after all.
There are no development details, no specific plans, and there are still many loopholes. No matter how awesome it is, it is still rhetoric.
After this period of pondering, and discussions with Liu Yifei every night, the various ideas triggered by this framework slowly gathered and combined, and he finally came up with a feasible plan.
"Third brother." Chu Xuan shouted.
Han Sanping looked over, and Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua also stopped their usual jokes.
It seemed that Chu Xuan had cleared his mind, and everyone calmed down to listen to him.
"According to my original idea, I would first industrialize the Bright Era, and then find ways to radiate the entire industry. This was an idea that I was not very mature about a few years ago."
"Even without Wang Yuan, this idea is wrong. Industrialization cannot be accomplished in one or two years. It must be explored in ten-year time units."
"If we wait for the brilliant era to really complete its industrialization, I'm afraid it will have to go to the next 20 to 30 years. Then how long will it take to radiate the industry? How long will it take? Another 20 to 30 years?"
Wang Jinhua ate a piece of broccoli and said, "If this is really what you said, I'm afraid I'll be buried by then."
"Bah, bah, bah." Liu Xiaoli softly said "bah" three times and said, "New Year's Eve is coming soon, so I don't want to talk about this."
"It's my fault, it's my fault for not talking about this." Chu Xuan brought up this unlucky topic and said, "What I mean is that in terms of industrialization, we cannot develop ourselves first and then develop externally. We should do it at the same time."
"The Brilliant Era is still developing. No matter how strong the foundation is, it cannot contain the entire capital market. If industrialization is carried out internally and externally at the same time, resistance from the outside will definitely cause great trouble internally." Wang Jinhua expressed her point of view.
"It is really not possible to develop oneself first, and it is really troublesome to develop internally and externally at the same time." Han Sanping did not deny the correctness of Chu Xuan's change of thinking, but he also recognized the shortcomings of this thinking mentioned by Wang Jinhua.
According to Chu Xuan’s original idea, Bright Times should do its own industrialization first and do its own thing, and others will not and cannot interfere.
After industrialization is completed, it is equivalent to proving that the operation model under this set of standards is correct. There are successful facts in front of us. When the industry is promoted, the market will be more receptive to the changes brought about by industrialization.
This idea is very sound and has nothing wrong with it.
The only thing that needs to be discussed is how many years it will take.
As Chu Xuangang said, it will take 20 to 30 years for industrialization to radiate to the entire industry. This is to be expected.
But under this expectation, not to mention that they are already in their forties or fifties now, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei themselves will be in an old state by then.
Whether we can realize this ideal in our lifetime is really a big question.
Han Sanping could understand. When Chu Xuan first talked about industrialization a few years ago, he was a young man who was just starting out and didn't think too far into the problem. Compared with him now, he was on a completely two-dimensional level.
Now that I discovered this problem, I immediately changed my thinking. This is also the result of Chu Xuan's growth and progress in the past few years.
Chu Xuan’s idea of transformation is to industrialize both internally and externally.
In short, while Bright Era is pursuing industrialization, the industry will also be affected by the industrialization of Bright Era.
When the brilliant era fully implements industrialization, it will also be the time when the entire industry is completely transformed by industrialization.
Compared with Chu Xuan’s original idea, the development time of this development idea will be doubled.
However, in the bright era, the size and capital are far from being able to compete and suppress the industry. Under the film and television system that has followed the existing rules for decades, a revolutionary standard is suddenly thrown out that will turn the industry around. The industry will not
It would be strange to resist or not, as the resistance will be huge.
Although this was also a big problem, he and Wang Jinhua stated the foreseeable disadvantages, but they did not deny Chu Xuan's idea.
Now that Chu Xuan has sorted out his thoughts and spoken out his words, he will probably have his own solution.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If we rely on normal methods to promote industrialization, there will of course be great resistance, so I thought of a development plan that combines internal and external use to expand domestic demand."
Chu Xuan said.
Han Sanping immediately laughed. Combining internal and external factors? Expanding domestic demand? With these words, this guy actually had some leadership style.
Everyone was also interested. Although they were confused, they sounded very professional.
Only Liu Yifei, who knew the details, was eating her food while listening to Chu Xuan's speech: "Let's talk about the screenwriting industry first."
Everyone listened: "Whether it is Wang Yuan or whoever follows us in the screenwriting industry, there is one key issue that cannot be avoided, which is how to make a profit."
"Yes." Han Sanping nodded slowly.
What is the closed loop from screenwriters to film and television, and what is the closed loop that includes promotion and broadcasting? There are big problems in the screenwriting industry at the front, let alone the closed loop that follows.
The profit issue of the screenwriting industry is the most obvious flaw in the development framework that Chu Xuan mentioned that day.
If you can't make a profit, how can others play with you? How can the market accept it?
"In our brilliant era, we are engaged in the screenwriting industry, investing 20 million in it every year. Although we can't make much money from literary companies, the results of the industrial operations can be reflected in movies and TV, and can speed up the production efficiency of movies and TV.
In turn, the film and television industry earns time costs."
"This part of the time cost will be converted into additional profits from film and television during the development of the group. The profits will be transferred to the trust company as dividends. Most of the dividends will make up for the group's shortfall in the investment in the literary company, and part of the dividends will become incentive bonuses for
To the Literary Company.”
"Such a cycle allows the group headquarters to avoid losing money, and allows the literary company to have good vested interests. It also allows the literary company as a whole to maintain fresh creativity, so that it can continue to inject blood into the two major sectors of film and television, without interruption.
Deliver quality scripts.”
Just when Chu Xuan was about to continue speaking, he heard Wang Jinhua say: "Xiaoxuan is excellent. This group structure is very constructive and a very advanced operation method. You have the greatest contribution to the groupization of the company."
If your words are interrupted, your thoughts will easily become confused.
Chu Xuan said repeatedly: "Don't praise me yet, let me finish my words."
Don't praise me yet? Do you want to praise me later?...Liu Yifei smiled, and her words made her hear Chu Xuan's rare arrogant side.
Several elders were also deeply interested and raised the corners of their mouths unconsciously.
Liu Xiaoli picked up the wine glass: "Drink a glass of wine first, then a second glass."
Chu Xuan had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and have a drink with everyone. He put down the wine glass and said, "We can play like this because the entire group of Bright Times is a collective and a big family that can recycle and benefit each other."
Liu Yifei gave him a chicken drumstick. He looked down and refused to eat it for the time being.
He continued: "However, others cannot afford it. Our screenwriting company loses money, but the film and television business makes money. Others do not have such a stable, sound and large film and television system like us, so even if Wang Yuanlai engages in the screenwriting industry, he
It is doomed to lose money in the end.”
Han Sanping ate his food and nodded: "Since Wang Yuan wants to start this career, it means that he does have ideals in screenwriting. No matter how bad he is, he is also very interested in this career, but it is not possible to maintain a career just by relying on interest.
No, if you don’t make a profit for a long time, you will lose your will and give up halfway.”
"Yeah." Chu Xuan picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the chicken leg.
"That's the problem." Han Sanping said: "We have also talked before. People with Wang Yuan's status will have a great influence on us in pursuing industrialization. It's okay if he comes to do it. If he gives up halfway, what impact will it have on us?
Bigger.”
Wang Jinhua took over the conversation: "People like Wang Yuan give up halfway because they lose money to grandma's house and can't make money. Then other people are even less optimistic about our industrialization cause, and they will be more optimistic about us when we promote industrialization in the future.
Big obstacle."
"Yes." Han Sanping nodded. In many cases, it doesn't matter whether a person's career is successful or not. The chain reaction caused by this person is the key issue.
"So if we want to industrialize screenwriters and make money, we at Bright Times can lose money within our own system, but we can't let people who are willing to play with us lose money. We want them to make a profit," Chu Xuan said.
The issue came to a critical point, and Han Sanping became more interested. He put his chopsticks on the bowl and stopped eating and drinking, preparing to discuss this critical issue with Chu Xuan first.
"Take Wang Yuan as an example. A team of 15 screenwriters, including management and administrative staff, is 20 people. According to Shenghai's salary level, the average salary is 4,000. 20 people a month is 80,000.
Including electricity bills, employee benefits and office rent, the total is 100,000, which is the minimum cost for a month's screenwriting industrialization experiment."
"According to the current efficiency, your "Star You" script creation was completed in two months, and the cost was 200,000."
"If you want to make a profit, you must either make your own films or sell scripts."
"Here's the problem. If Wang Yuan has the ability to make his own film and television business, it will be easy to handle and the profit will be self-sufficient."
"But Wang Yuan's company is a small company and does not have the ability to turn the script into a film and TV program as soon as it is released, so he has to rely on the profit method of selling scripts."
"However, how much does it cost to sell a script costing 200,000 yuan to ensure the normal operation of the company in the future? Judging from the situation that it can only achieve stable development after two months of operation and four months, the script needs to be sold for 600,000 yuan."
"There is no price for scripts on the market, ranging from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands. Although Wang Yuan has an identity and background, he is still a newcomer in the screenwriting industry."
"How much can a script written by a newbie be sold for?"
"So, how do you make him profit? How do you make him return at least 600,000 yuan with 200,000 yuan?"
