Although this phenomenon was not very obvious in 2010, it will form a major trend in five years.
Many star actors, whether they are big stars who once shined brightly or they are rising stars newly promoted by the company, their box office performance in domestic entertainment will be quite dismal.
It is normal to take several years to release a movie that is well-received, and what is even more frightening is that there is absolutely no possibility of this trend changing.
As for Wu Di, he just pointed out the future trend to Director Xiao Lu first. Instead of trying hard to find those famous old stars, he might as well use local materials!
What's the matter with domestic entertainment stars? In terms of acting skills, they are no worse than foreign monks. In terms of box office appeal, they are actually a bit stronger.
After all, the box office actually depends on the overall trend, and the uncles in domestic entertainment are obviously on an upward trend.
As for those traditional kung fu stars, their box office appeal has been declining year by year. Moreover, their movies also have a fixed audience.
For those who are fans of action movies and kung fu movies, these stars are able to achieve fame because they are actually benefiting from the times.
At that time, the Pearl Film Industry developed earlier and faster than the domestic entertainment film industry, and a fixed system was formed very early.
As a result, during those years when domestic entertainment industry was stagnant, many young people paid close attention to these gem action movies.
It is undeniable that there are indeed many excellent works.
However, what is even more undeniable is that the filter of the times is very powerful, and the filter of the times is even more powerful.
In fact, in any era, especially the film industry, things are always changing.
Behind the batches of good films are more bad films, but in that era of limited communication methods, you couldn't see bad films either.
If it can be spread word of mouth and seen by domestic entertainment people, it is natural that it is a masterpiece. Therefore, people will naturally form a concept that all the pearl action movies of that era are excellent.
In fact, the reason for the frequent emergence of excellent films must be that there are more bad films, and it is through a large number of bad films that these good films are supported.
Each of these big stars has acted in many unknown movies on their way to fame, but no one paid much attention to them.
Another issue is the trend of the movie-going crowd. Obviously, people are protective of their shortcomings. Now that the domestic entertainment film market has developed and its scale is getting larger and larger, then the audience will naturally follow suit when choosing the leading actors.
tend to be members of their own family.
But the big stars who come from Mingzhu are still somewhat acclimated.
Their way of doing things often cannot be adapted to internal entertainment. The two places are completely different models.
Directors who are a bit ambitious should get out of the traditional filter as soon as possible and look for new box office growth points.
Leaving aside the distance, isn’t it enough for Master to provide lessons to all the great directors and make them vigilant?
The same old thing really doesn’t work anymore.
"Then tell me, are there any good candidates?"
"Director Xiao Lu, you are the director. These are your decisions. I can only make some general suggestions. The specific candidates are still up to you, the director."
"You are shirking responsibility."
Wu Di was speechless. Oh my god, sister, can you do it?
Whose responsibility is this for casting?
Why are you looking for me for everything?
"Boss Wu, aren't you usually very insightful? Why are you so humble?"
"What's more, you have now opened a film company and are considered the boss. Isn't it easy to recommend actors?"
"Yes, Boss Wu, just tell me!"
What kind of friends are these?
brother?
It was obvious that Wu Di didn't want to wade into this muddy water, so why did he still forcefully pull him into the water?
Han Jingjing and Yuan Dafei sang and harmonized, and they cooperated tacitly, not to mention director Xiao Lu, who was always looking at Wu Di with a smile!
Even though Wu Di declined several times, she never wavered.
Even if you just answer the question, that’s fine!
Director Xiao Lu was indeed answering the call, but he was inducing Wu Di to continue recommending, and had no intention of taking back this responsibility.
What a tragedy!
"Actually, I feel that I am not a professional. There is no need or qualification for me to speak on these matters."
"However, since everyone wants me to talk, I can only do it reluctantly."
"If you ask me, Uncle Zhang is pretty good."
"Uncle Zhang?"
"Who is that?"
There are so many people with the surname Zhang in the entertainment industry. Whether they are actors or directors, there are so many famous ones that it is impossible to identify people by just one surname.
"It's Uncle Hanyu. He's such a ready-made candidate, and he specializes in action films. In recent years, his box office appeal has been guaranteed."
"Why doesn't Director Xiao Lu think about it?"
"he?"
"I really haven't thought about this."
"It seems that he has never acted in this type of movie before. If I remember correctly, is that okay?"
"I think I can give it a try. It's just because I haven't acted before that it feels fresh. Maybe my uncle will be very interested."
"As for my uncle's acting skills, there is no need to worry. I acted in many TV series when I was young. I have tried various types of characters, and my acting skills are well-known. Although I have focused on action movies in recent years, it does not represent other genres.
I can’t play the character anymore.”
"The most important thing is that Uncle is now well-connected with the audience. He has successively released hit movies. The audience has high recognition of him and he has box office appeal. We can also save a lot of work when doing publicity. Besides, Uncle's team
He is also very professional and can be helpful to the movie.”
Audience popularity, this really belongs to the category of metaphysics.
Many times, it is impossible to summarize using theories and experiences in the industry. Some people may not be special in any way, but the audience just recognizes them.
As long as you see his starring role, you are willing to give him a chance. This is what many filmmakers dream of, because most movie actors cannot achieve this level.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although the box office appeal of this so-called recognition of people by their faces often declines with the passage of time, it can be trusted at least within a few years.
Totally reliable.
Even if it is a bad movie, let alone a good one, with Uncle Zhang's current appeal and image, the audience will still buy it.
I can even tolerate him making several bad movies.
This is an actor's sweet love with the audience.
"However, I think his image is still a little worse. He doesn't look that old, his skin is tight, and he is energetic. The age difference with you doesn't seem that significant."
"Director, what's this?"
"Isn't it enough to just put some make-up on?"
"After all, it takes a lot of effort to raise a son who has been suffering from autism all year round. Older audiences will be able to accept the vicissitudes of life."
"This kind of special effects makeup can be done from the beginning of the movie, which can give the audience a visual impact. Ever since he starred in the movie, Uncle Zhang's image has always been very neat, and the audience should also be very familiar with his abject image.
interested in."
“It will feel very fresh and your eyes will be bright.”
"yes!"
"Why didn't I think of that?"
Director Xiao Lu murmured to himself and looked at Wu Di with even more admiration. The actor's image and the role he played can be regarded as a breakthrough point for the movie.
For example, some actors who specialize in literary films, especially those who only work with one or two directors, tend to have similar images.
After all, the types of films that directors are good at are almost all the same, and directors of literary and artistic films are different from directors of commercial films.
Commercial film directors are actually good at a wide range of fields, including suspense films and romance films, not to mention ordinary drama films.
Directors of literary and artistic films are different. Their films mainly focus on the expression of personal will and emotion, and a person's temperament will hardly change much in a short period of time.
Therefore, these directors who focus on artistic films may have a film-making pattern that has lasted for decades, and the actors they use to keep filming their films will naturally only gain the same type of image.
Ten years are like one day.
It is impossible to break through. This kind of fixed image, no matter how well it is created, can be considered a kind of harm to the actor.
The fixation of Uncle Zhang’s image is another category.
He has always been a qualified leading actor in commercial films, and his film types tend to be action blockbusters.
In fact, in a sense, it is similar to the kind of Kung Fu superstar that Director Xiao Lu was pursuing before.
Perhaps the only difference is that Uncle Zhang can only make action movies, he does not know martial arts and has no basic skills.
But in fact, in the eyes of the audience, there is not much difference. If it can be shot with real skills and real swords and guns, the audience will naturally welcome it.
But in fact, many gun fight films do not actually require martial arts skills. As long as the actors dare to work hard and obey the director's instructions, they can still produce excellent films.
Although Uncle Zhang is not young and has no foundation, his performance in various blockbusters over the years has been very impressive.
What's more, he has acting skills.
The type that Director Xiao Lu intends to try, which is family-friendly and tender, is indeed something that Uncle Zhang has never tried before.
At least there is no movie role that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. With the reputation of director Xiao Lu, it is still easy to persuade Uncle Zhang.
If the combination is fresh and the acting skills are up to par, as long as the script is not stretched, it will be easy to hit the box office.
Such good suggestions were all put forward by Wu Di.
Without Xiao Wu, how could he have so many wonderful ideas?
So, Xiao Wu is indeed an indispensable wonderful person!
"Xiao Wu, I think you are eloquent and thoughtful. How about you come with me to talk to Uncle Zhang!"
ha?
Where are these?
Why does this matter have anything to do with him again?
Are you kidding?
"Director, this really doesn't work."
"Uncle Zhang and I don't know each other well and have no friendship. It won't be of any use if I go."
"The director is the soul of a movie. It's up to you to talk about who you want and tell Uncle Zhang your ideas for the character. I believe that Uncle Zhang will be moved."
Wu Di had already waded through this kind of muddy water several times, and he didn't want to do it again.
"But if he doesn't move, what will you do?"
I?
What does this have to do with me?
Why does everything have to do with me?
Oh my god!
Wu Di showed an expression of astonishment. He really couldn't figure out what the structure of a woman's brain was.
Why is it so complicated?
Such a jump?
Totally confusing.
Han Jingjing was so happy that her mouth almost became crooked. Those who didn't know it thought she was going to have a stroke!
Gastrin, these women are always keen to see Wu Di eat up?
What good would it do them to see him make a fool of himself?
Of course there are benefits, but of course they are something Wu Di can't understand.
He couldn't understand at all the special interest of some beautiful women in watching handsome men get fucked.
The handsome guy's embarrassed look is really interesting.
"Xiao Wu, what you said is wrong. This matter has the greatest and closest relationship with you. Uncle Zhang was recommended by you, right?"
"Since you recommended him, it means that you are very satisfied with Uncle Zhang. He is your ideal partner. How could you not help me win over such a person?"
"Is this appropriate?"
"If Uncle Zhang doesn't agree, you will have to act with someone else. Are you willing to do it?"
This person is like a rotten potato without praise. For example, director Xiao Lu is like this. Just now Wu Di had a very good impression of her.
He thought she was lively and cheerful, with a noble character. Now Wu Di simply regrets it and doesn't know where to find medicine.
the same!
They are all the same!
As soon as they encountered difficulties, they began to seduce Wu Di and ask him to give his so-called opinions. When Wu Di expressed his opinions according to their intentions, they immediately changed their attitude.
Put the responsibility on Wu Di, as if he made the movie and invested in it. If the leading role is not chosen well, Wu Di will be the unlucky one.
How is this possible?
What does this have to do with me, a young actor?
How much will you pay me for the film?
What's the price?
This is what I care about most. You don’t even know how to do it for me, and now you are relying on me for not contributing. Isn’t this bullying?
yes.
It's just bullying.
But who makes Boss Wu look like he is easy to bully!
In fact, Boss Wu should be lucky. As a pretty young actor, although these directors occasionally dig holes for him, generally speaking, there is nothing else.
Overall, Wu Di's film career has gone very smoothly, and he has won important awards at a good age.
It can be said that with this step, you have found your position and stood firm!
This all depends on the careful cultivation of the great directors. Even if he has some conflicts with Hai Ge, Wu Di still has to say that Hai Ge still played a very important role in his film career.
After this period of limelight, when it's time to cooperate, we can still continue to cooperate.
Wu Di doesn't matter anyway, he is very thick-skinned. The key is whether Brother Hai can pass his own test. After all, Wu Di has completely offended him now.
I heard that during this period, Brother Hai was also contacting everywhere, seeking various investments, and taking care of the film arrangement.
Although our brother Hai is indeed famous, Wu Di's withdrawal before the battle also made it difficult for him. It was like leaving him on the beach.
With Brother Hai's personality, I'm afraid this matter cannot be tolerated.
