Especially some new directors, or small directors whose achievements are not outstanding enough, will try their best to take into account the emotions of these popular stars when they find them.
Try to meet their various needs as much as possible, especially emotional ones. They can take the trouble to communicate with them and gain their trust.
Reach cooperation.
Because, for some unknown directors, the popularity of popular stars is really important.
It can make their mediocre movies get super high attention. With attention, there will be traffic, and with traffic, it will naturally bring box office.
For some big productions, a little box office brought by fans will certainly not be able to shake up the overall situation, and they still have to pay what they deserve.
But for some small productions, the consumption level of fans and their ability to earn money are very important.
You know, based on subsequent developments, for some red stars who are popular enough and solid enough, once a relatively popular movie is released, if they promote it well in the fan circle, the box office volume of fans alone can reach the level of 10 million to 20 million.
!
Some are even higher than this!
What kind of level is this? Generally speaking, a small-budget film can make its money back with a box office of more than 50 million yuan.
In other words, if Maze stars a popular star like Si Si or Ci Fang, it may not require many passers-by to enter the venue to buy tickets, and fans will be able to bear half of the box office!
Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is indeed the reality.
Therefore, you can understand why some directors of small-budget films always like to choose some popular stars to cooperate with them once they want to make money from less profitable literary films.
Their fans can really bring box office!
That’s all real money!
These low-cost films do not need to exceed 100 million each, and it is basically impossible. As long as they can reach tens of millions in box office, as a new director with no experience in operating large projects, it is already quite valuable and successful experience.
.
Inviting popular celebrities is also a shortcut.
Of course, success and failure always occur at the same time. Some people have a precise vision and the quality of their films is guaranteed, so they can naturally achieve good box office results.
Artists and directors are mutually beneficial, such as Wu Di and Xiao Qi.
And some people don't have such a thorough vision. Once the star's popularity is relatively weak, the director will be miserable.
You have to know that fans are very blind. Their standard is that as long as it is a movie starring their own brothers and sisters, even if it is a piece of shit, they will still support what they should support.
Even if you just buy a ticket and don't go see it, you still have to contribute.
Let the movies starring brothers and sisters do well at the box office. Although it is blind to wait for love, it must be said that it is really useful for some movies that want to achieve box office results.
Fans often also have this mentality. Although the movie of Brother and Sister is terrible, if we don't work hard now, won't the script that Brother and Sister can get in the future be even worse?
Therefore, we must work hard to improve the box office, even if it is a bad movie, we must not rush it!
However, once the popularity is fictitious and the popularity is just an illusion, then things will be much more difficult to handle.
The box office the director seeks will not come, and fans may turn around and abuse the director because of the poor performance of the movie.
After all, how can you scold your own brothers and sisters?
Of course, I can only throw all the criticism and dissatisfaction to the director.
Many conflicts and scoldings on the Internet come from this.
Now, Wu Di's reputation as being easy to get along with has become well-known in the industry, and more and more film crews are submitting scripts to him.
After all, no one wants to work with someone who is particularly difficult to maintain, has a tricky, eccentric and arrogant personality. Compared to the stars, the other members of the crew are almost in a disadvantaged position, and their lives are miserable, and they have to be angry with you.
Who can bear this?
In order to achieve the grand goal of buying a courtyard house, Wu Di is working hard to save money. Even though he is already rich, the price of a courtyard house is also quite high.
It's not easy to buy.
It is precisely because of this that Boss Wu, who is lazy to the core, reluctantly mobilized his enthusiasm and actively prepared a new film for Director Xiao Lu.
Although Director Xiao Lu doesn't look like the kind of director who can give Wu Di a super high salary at first glance, even not letting him lower his salary is already giving him face.
However, one cannot be so short-sighted, and one cannot only look at the small profit in front of him. In fact, even for actors, the most popular ones, their remuneration only accounts for a small part of their income structure.
The larger part is income from advertising endorsements.
If good works are continuously output, the influence among the public can be maintained, and the commercial value can continue to rise.
Naturally, there are more and more advertising endorsements, endorsement fees will also increase year by year, and the income level will naturally be high.
Wu Di has already determined that this new film directed by Xiao Lu can be his transformational masterpiece and gain a good reputation.
Therefore, he doesn't care about the director's occasional lapses. As long as she is still willing to cooperate, Wu Di will push forward the project as much as possible.
Anyway, Wu Di now has a company. Even if he can't star, he can still invest in productions. If he can star in, plus investment, of course it will be the most perfect combination!
As an actor, when you work for yourself, you are naturally more energetic.
What's more, Wu Di is a man with an actor system. He can predict the quality of a movie and its box office performance in advance.
As long as you step on the right spot, you can invest without worrying about the possibility of losing money.
Although there will occasionally be minor problems, it doesn't matter, they can all be solved anyway. For example, Director Xiao Lu, who is about to temporarily revise the script, is a master at creating trouble, but Wu Di has long been fearless.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With Uncle Zhang, what does this little twist mean?
Besides, if the script is not good, that’s okay. Isn’t there Wu Di?
Could it be that Wu Di can't write scripts? Not only can he write, he is also very advanced!
There are many jokes made, and they are not false at all. They are all classic jokes that can transcend the times. I am just worried that there is no way to use them!
Aren’t they all used now?
As for who owns these classic jokes and beautiful ideas, Wu Di doesn't care at all. For example, in this new work directed by Xiao Lu, there is no doubt that the final right of signature belongs to the director's sister.
As for Wu Di, he will definitely not appear in the screenwriter column after working for a long time, but what does it matter?
I am already the starring role, and I am definitely the leading star. Externally, if this movie succeeds, won’t it be Boss Wu himself who makes money?
For Wu Di, even if this means he has gained fame and fortune again, he has gained both fame and fortune. What else is there to worry about?
Just rush!
The most important thing is that Uncle Zhang is here to take charge.
The so-called popular stars, the big brothers who carry the box office, are also in good fortune. There is no doubt that in this era of 2010, Uncle Zhang's box office appeal is still very strong.
Moreover, his acting skills have also been recognized, and his personal image is very good, which is the most valuable thing.
Some male stars may have good personal box office results, but as stars, their image is really not flattering.
Because they appear in various comedies all the year round, their appearance must at least make people feel approachable. Some male stars even have a selling point of being good-looking and ugly.
Even if the box office results are very good, personal commercial value will be limited by the image, and many high-end and elegant products cannot be endorsed.
But this is not the case for Uncle Zhang. He has a good personal image and has never played a clown before. Even if he is funny occasionally, he is always handsome.
Although he is not tall in stature, he has a strong temperament and is full of masculinity. Even swearing is very tasteful.
What is Wu Di's current situation?
It's the same situation that will often happen more than ten years later, when big box office stars film movies together with their traffic.
It is the big names who really have box office appeal, and traffic naturally has a certain appeal, especially among young people.
For a movie, this arrangement can be said to be mutually beneficial. With double insurance on the box office, not only the big box office stars, but also popular stars can bring in massive box office. In this way, the overall box office of the movie will be
It's guaranteed.
On the other hand, the traffic of most traffic stars is still a bit low, more or less, but as long as they run behind the big box office stars, they can hide this disadvantage to a great extent.
They hide behind the big names at the box office and have a very high box office base. When the time comes, it will seem like they have obtained the box office.
Their superficial popularity can be maintained without being ripped off.
Don't underestimate this. If a popular star is really capable, then after two or three movies, his personal box office appeal can be developed.
If it's not cultivated, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, if you can hide it for a few years, you will make enough money and you will not lose anything.
Now, Wu Di adopts this model. The difference is that his popularity has been certified by the previous work.
The Maze is a testament to his personal appeal.
And he is not like ordinary traffic stars. He has received awards, and they are very important awards!
It's not just about popularity.
In this way, Wu Di's role as Uncle Zhang is something that is worthy of encouragement from the outside. One is that a young man who has won overseas awards is actually willing to lower his salary to star in a new movie.
Second starring role.
This is definitely a very humble act.
Wu Di's appearance also strengthened the industry's recognition of director Xiao Lu's film. You would think that someone else, a big shot who had just won the Best Director Award, could actually star in it himself and provide voice acting for Uncle Zhang.
What does this mean?
This shows that this movie is indeed very good!
So much so that the best new director couldn't resist the temptation and would rather act as a voice actor for Uncle Zhang than to star in it. What's more, Director Xiao Lu is a stingy person and it's impossible to pay Wu Di too much!
Doesn’t this increase the market’s confidence?
So profitable!
This is really a good deal!
Wu Dile's mouth was almost crooked.
Although the script is not yet available, he has seen the real dawn, and it is another good work! He can also actively learn from the big names in acting and box office.
The most important thing is that Uncle Zhang seems to be easy to get along with.
This is a great thing for Wu Di, who has been arranging films on several low-pressure crews continuously. He can finally relax.
Just as Wu Di was happily imagining that he and Uncle Zhang would gather together, while talking about the renovation plan of the courtyard, while studying various tips on antique collection, and taking photos by the way, such a life was simply a fairy life!
However, just after a day of rest, he was disturbed by a phone call.
"What?"
"Brother Pancake, what did you say?"
"Haven't you started filming yet?"
After receiving a call from Uncle Jianbing, Wu Di was quite excited at first, thinking that something good was going to happen. But after hearing the content of the call, he realized that some people, under normal circumstances, cannot bring many good things.
Really, no.
Absolutely none.
Faced with Wu Di's scream, Uncle Pancake remained unmoved: "Xiao Wu, don't get excited, this is what happened."
"Xiao Long has already selected some of the actors. This is what he thinks, because this TV series is a huge project and involves a lot of actors. Moreover, many actors have an obvious limit on their appearance time."
"In other words, some actors will only appear in the play for a fixed period of time and will not run throughout the entire play. Therefore, some scenes can be filmed in advance."
"As for the director, he just wants to start filming a part of the scene that can be taken out separately, and it is not closely related to the main plot. Do you understand?"
"If you want to make a guest appearance, you might as well come over to Hengdian first. The filming of my scenes will start in the next two days, and we can also meet and get together."
"Brother, I understand. It turns out that what I want to play is the kind of person who will be offline as soon as he appears. Is that what I mean?"
Of course Wu Di knows what Jianbing is talking about. Compared with Jianbing, he has a more detailed understanding of this TV series!
What he said is indeed correct. There are indeed some characters in this TV series that will be discontinued midway, but those are probably not roles that he can play!
"Brother, she can't be some concubine who failed in a palace battle, right?"
"I can't act like this either. My gender doesn't fit."
To be honest, if the conditions are right, Wu Di would really like to give it a try. After all, many acting gods have to dress up as women on their way to becoming gods, or else they play gay or something.
Become a god in one battle and leave your name in the history of movies!
That’s awesome!
What a pity, what a pity!
"It's nothing, Xiao Wu, you think too much!"
"If you can play a concubine, you won't be a guest star. You must at least have a certain role! You can be considered a starring role!"
"At least two episodes!"
"Your role is not enough!"
Wu Di:……
Why is his tone so serious? Why is he so serious? Could it be that a big name like Wu Di can't even get a guest appearance in two episodes?
