"Hey, you haven't told me yet, what are your plans after this?"
"Any plans?"
"If you still want to continue making movies, would you like me to recommend a few crews to give it a try?"
Zhang Feng also understands this principle.
Wu Di is going to raise funds for you. As a film director, you must express what you need to express.
Zhang Feng has a wide network of contacts in the circle and has a three-point friendship with everyone. Although these are originally Lao Zhang's contacts, Lao Zhang will definitely not mind Zhang Feng taking advantage of them.
"If Director Zhang can introduce it to me, that would be the best. As long as I have the chance, I am willing to give it a try."
"Whether it's a starring role or a supporting role, I don't care. What I lack most now is actually the training on the set. I really hope to make more movies and hone my acting skills."
Zhang Feng nodded. In this regard, she had indeed always believed in Wu Di.
This is a motivated person with a very correct attitude. Now, from his speech, Zhang Feng can once again confirm his opinion.
"However, I have a new script here recently." Suddenly, Wu Di remembered the TV series recommended by Uncle Jianbing, and wanted Zhang Feng to take a look at it.
[By the way, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, change the source app, .huanyuanapp install the latest version. 】
"What script?"
Zhang Feng's eyes lit up: "You can do it!"
"Has a director already taken the initiative to hand over the script?"
Gee, not easy.
"Director Zhang, you are overly praised. How could it be possible so quickly? Brother Jianbing recommended the script to me. I think the opportunity is good."
"What script did Brother Pancake recommend?"
"Is it a TV show?"
"How do you know?" Wu Di was suddenly surprised, thinking that some news had been leaked in advance.
Zhang Feng said: "How do I know? I'm just guessing."
"Compared with movies, Brother Jianbing has done more TV series. The books he can recommend are most likely TV series."
"how?"
"Do you want to make a TV series?" For some reason, Wu Di felt that Zhang Feng's face was a little ugly and his tone was a little weird.
"You don't support it?"
Having been with Zhang Feng for a long time, Wu Di can easily judge her thoughts through her tone and expression.
Wu Di's words hit the mark, but Zhang Feng didn't mind.
"It's really not very supportive."
"As you know, actors in the entertainment industry also have levels. According to current standards, actors who specialize in making movies, especially male actors, have the highest level."
"Look, you have a good starting point. The two works you shot in succession are both movies. This can be considered a good start."
"Next, if you can get a movie that does well at the box office, be a real male lead, and carry it on, you will have a foothold in the film industry."
"From now on, you won't be so tired, and you can still win various awards. Most importantly, your commercial value will be high, and various endorsements will come in an endless stream. Isn't this a good thing?"
"On the other hand, if you make two movies and then turn to TV dramas before you have a firm foothold, it will feel like you have lowered your status."
"This is not the same as actors who specialize in TV dramas and occasionally appear in movies. If you make a TV series, there will be far fewer movie scripts coming to you, and all that will follow will be TV drama scripts."
"Do one film, then another, and slowly you will become a TV actor, and then the foundation you have gained in the past will basically be wasted."
"My whole style has gone downhill. When I say this, do you understand?"
"It's not that I don't like TV dramas, but the current market is like this. As for me, I'm worried that you have just entered the industry and don't know much about this aspect."
Although Zhang Feng finally brought the topic back, everyone could tell that she actually just didn't like movie actors.
In fact, it's no wonder.
In domestic entertainment in 2009, the value of TV series was not very high, and the main income was the price sold to TV stations.
In 2009, TV stations were basically relatively strong and had good ratings.
When TV dramas make money, the money that the producers can earn is still a small amount, and the TV station takes the majority.
Because their investment in pre-roll ads, sponsored ads, and TV stations is all given to the TV station, and the film producers do not get this income.
But movies are different.
No matter what era, what movies pursue is box office, or in other words, box office is always one of the pursuits of movies.
Of course, art is also one of the pursuits of film.
However, so far, for an actor like Wu Di, his main goal is to achieve box office success.
With the box office, the actors' remuneration can go up, and they can even participate in dividends. From this perspective, the income from making movies is much higher than that from making TV series.
What's more, the commercial value of movie actors is also higher, and commercial value does not mean how many advertisements you film.
The key is where your level is.
Obviously, the level of a movie actor is a few steps higher than that of a TV drama actor, and the quality of the endorsements he gets is also different.
If someone else endorses LV, and you endorse LU brand nail clippers, can that be on the same level?
Of course, this gap was not so clear-cut in the era when Wu Di traveled through time. After the TV series has an online broadcast platform, the income including pre-roll advertising, naming rights, etc., all belong to the producer of the TV series.
.
As a result, the net worth of TV drama actors has gradually increased. In addition, the economic level has changed. In 2009, the net worth of TV drama actors in this era was not reached by many first-line movie stars.
This is the dividend of the times.
And this is something Wu Di can see but Zhang Feng cannot.
Therefore, Wu Di disagreed with Zhang Feng's opinion.
"I fully understand Director Zhang's good intentions, but I have already promised Brother Jianbing, so I can't go back on my word."
"I'm a newcomer and have no reputation at all. Brother Jianbing doesn't mind, but he still drags me to film a TV series. I should be grateful. This is a timely help!"
"As for movies, if there is a suitable opportunity, of course I will not let it go and will actively strive for it. However, being an actor is actually just a profession. Since it is a profession, it is better not to have too many gaps.
"
"Director Zhang has good scripts, and he will give them to me as much as possible. I will go to auditions, because Uncle Jianbing's TV series is also very large. At present, even the scenery and other preparations have not been started to officially start filming.
It will be November at the earliest.”
"However, Brother Jianbing also revealed that the filming of this TV series will probably not start until the end of the New Year. Therefore, the only projects I have in hand at the moment are the two movies Changing Skin and The Wife."
Wu Di has always been a good man, and he has made his attitude clear. Of course he will not ignore Director Zhang's suggestions, but Jianbing also has good intentions, and he will never let them down.
Does this count as a conflict between the two sides?
