"Mr. Guan, it seems a bit inappropriate for me to accept this film, right?"
It's not that Xu Mei is against accepting roles. After all, if she doesn't accept roles, there will be nothing else to do. The new album will not be filmed at all, and now even if she accepts commercial roles, she can only serve as a foil for this year's popular contestants.
Last year, Xu Mei was still the "champion", but this year she has become a foil to a popular contestant, and the company has to bundle it with others before they are willing to invite Xu Mei to perform!
Filming is good, and at least you get paid for filming. The popularity of "Emerald Forest" has given Xu Mei a taste of the sweetness. When it comes to increasing popularity, filming is more advantageous.
Xu Mei's first album didn't have any big hit songs. As a singer, other than the title of winner of last year's talent show, ordinary people can't remember Xu Mei's songs.
It's different when you star in "Emerald Forest". The audience will remember Xu Mei's face!
This is really a big improvement.
Even though Xu Mei looks thin and haggard in real life, this thinness is quite advantageous in the camera. Being ten pounds heavier on camera is no joke.
Just make a movie. As long as you are still popular, you can still release an album. Xu Mei has convinced herself to accept the status quo - there is nothing she can do if she doesn't accept it. From the audition to today, she broke up, dropped out of school and committed to Cao Shao. Step by step, Xu Mei's cards are
It's getting worse and worse. There's no way to turn back. There's a cliff ahead and we have to go on with all our strength.
Xu Mei understands the truth, but the scenes given by Mr. Guan are not particular at all, and Xu Mei is still full of energy and blood.
Whether a drama can be a hit depends on luck, but there are also three basic factors: who wrote it, who directed it, and who acted it!
When these three elements are put together, there is a high chance that the ratings will explode!
Let alone the three elements, even if one of the three conditions is met, the ratings will be guaranteed.
"Emerald Forest" is like this. Although it is just a treasure island idol drama, the production cycle is not long, and the production team is very powerful. There are so many stories about princes and Cinderella, and those who can capture the hearts of the audience are those who have real skills.
.
Are there any dramas that failed to meet all three elements but became a hit?
there must be.
It’s just that there are too few, and the probability is about the same as winning a lottery ticket!
The new play that Mr. Guan gave Xu Mei was completely a grass-stage troupe.
The director has never heard of it.
The lead actor has never heard of it.
The screenwriter has never heard of it.
I'm not willing to give him a salary, because the manager just likes the salary offered by the other party!
It’s not surprising that if the drama was really good, people would look down on a dabbler like Xu Mei. They would not invite Xu Mei to perform because of the popularity of Xu Mei’s appearance in “Emerald Forest”, and also gave Xu Mei a good salary.
For a good drama, Xu Meishang has to fight hard for it, even if he pays his own money to star in it.
Xu Mei was willing, but Xu Mei had no money.
It is impossible for Mr. Guan to agree. The company will take the majority of Xu Mei's profits. If Xu Mei doesn't take this role, where will Mr. Guan make money?
Xu Mei said that the role was not suitable, and the manager was not very happy. He advised Xu Mei earnestly: "Now is not the time for you to pick and choose. The entertainment industry has always been about survival of the fittest. If you don't accept new roles, your popularity will be lost."
Dissipate, Xiao Xu, don’t you want to imitate Zhang Yangning?”
The manager's tone already contained a hint of warning.
Zhang Yangning spent his own money to terminate the contract and switch to "Tianjiao", which slapped Mr. Guan hard!
To say that the loss is not significant, the main reason is that it is too insulting.
Mr. Guan still hasn’t figured out how Yuan Fenghui persuaded Zhang Yangning. That idiot Zhang Yangning thought that he would have some good resources if he went to Tianjiao, so he could only pick up the leftovers that Li Mengjiao didn’t want!
Thinking of Li Mengjiao, Mr. Guan immediately remembered that "The Princess's New Clothes" was going to premiere in a few days, and his expression became even worse.
Xu Mei was bitter: She wanted to learn from Zhang Yangning, but Zhang Yangning could change jobs to Tianjiao, but she couldn't go.
She couldn't pay the liquidated damages, and she couldn't save face, and Xu Mei had an intuition that even if she wanted to go to Tianjiao, Tianjiao wouldn't want her!
"Mr. Guan, it was my fault. You must have accepted this role for my own good."
Xu Mei left the manager's office and called Mr. Cao.
After all, she is a girl friend of Cao. Mr. Guan gives her such poor resources, and Mr. Cao has no face at all.
"I can play a supporting female role, but it's not too much to ask someone who is not well-known to let me be a foil, isn't it?"
Xu Mei is now looking after Young Master Cao's interests.
She is also an innocent girl from a good family. She just followed the man named Cao, saying they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Now the man named Cao is not as enthusiastic as he was at the beginning.
You have taken advantage, do you want to be irresponsible?
The second female lead in "Emerald Forest", which has the highest ratings, is considered sincere, but a female supporting role from a grass-roots team is too insulting!
Young Master Cao had a new concern in his mind, so he kept Xu Mei because he had no idea what to do. In fact, Xu Mei was already tasteless to Young Master Cao and it was a pity to throw it away.
However, Xu Mei's words also touched Cao Shao a bit.
After all, he was the one who had a date with him. He was quite generous to his previous girlfriend, so there was no reason to be so stingy to Xu Mei.
"I know about this, let me ask about the situation first."
Mr. Cao was very serious when he took it seriously, and he quickly found out the origins of the crew.
There is a coal boss behind this crew. These days, the coal boss is synonymous with people who are stupid and have a lot of money. Everyone wants to make a fortune from the coal boss.
Someone approached the coal boss to attract investment, and the coal boss inserted his little love into the crew to be the heroine... This is why the heroine has no reputation at all. She followed the coal boss even though she had no works. She is even better than Xu Mei
New new people!
But is the coal boss stupid?
Not stupid.
I just want to coax my little lover, but I also want to try my hand at the film and television industry.
It was true that he was rich and had no shortage of money. What he needed was guidance from industry insiders. As soon as Mr. Cao came to visit, he and the coal boss hit it off immediately.
Mr. Cao is not as rich as the coal boss, but Mr. Cao understands the twists and turns in the industry!
The first thing Mr. Cao did was to replace the original team that wanted to defraud the coal boss of his money, and re-introduced a more reliable team. Only the original heroine was retained and could not be replaced. The entire project was overhauled from top to bottom.
!
Mr. Cao only has one condition: find someone to write a new script to increase Xu Mei's role.
"Nominally you are still the second female lead, but in fact you are a double heroine. This time it is different from "Emerald Forest". It is a real double heroine. I personally found someone to write the script. The person the other party wants to praise is a pure newcomer, more experienced and
You crush her even in terms of popularity!"
This is using the coal boss's money to support Xu Mei. Mr. Cao's heart is darker than that of the grass-roots team he replaced. At least he wants money, and he will focus on the "heroine" according to the wishes of the financial owner's father.
Young Master Cao is different. Young Master Cao wants to steal something and replace it with someone else!
This approach made Xu Mei very excited.
Xu Mei asked Mr. Cao who he wanted to invite to write the script.
Mr. Cao smiled and said: "Please hire the screenwriter of "The Princess's New Clothes". Teacher Yuan was able to promote Li Mengjiao and sell the rights to the drama for a sky-high price. It must be not only because of Li Mengjiao's popularity."
Li Mengjiao and Xu Mei are both newcomers. They are both singers who have turned to acting. Their acting skills are definitely not that good.
Of course, it is a fact that Li Mengjiao is more popular than Xu Mei.
But no matter how strong you are, you can't sell such high copyright fees just by relying on popularity!
What impressed the TV station must be the quality of the drama!
Those who can write stories are good screenwriters, and those who can tailor a good story for a certain actor can be called a god-level screenwriter - Mr. Cao’s logic is no problem!
The problem is that Cao Shao, Xu Mei, and others all regard Zhang Guangzhen as the god-level screenwriter who achieved the sky-high copyright fee for "The Princess's New Clothes".
"The Princess's New Clothes" is about to premiere, and teacher Zhang Guangzhen, who is far away in Baodao, received a job invitation from Hunan Province:
"One million to write a notebook?"
Zhang Guangzhen silently lit a cigarette.
Are the mainland’s film and television production funds so abundant?
—Should he follow Yuan Fenghui’s example and live in the mainland forever?
…………
small theater:
Zhang Guangzhen: You may not believe it when I tell you, but the price of my books suddenly increased! They said I was a god-level screenwriter, which made me feel embarrassed~
