Especially when Hu Sandao persuaded Ye Ming like this, he really regarded Ye Ming as a friend. If the relationship was not so close, he would never persuade like this. After all, the money belongs to Ye Ming, right? He lost money.
There is no loss. Hu Sandao made a penny of money, and Ye Ming could not give Hu Sandao a penny.
So, of course Ye Ming had to thank Hu Sandao as a friend at this time. He really regarded Ye Ming as a friend and that's why he said that.
Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming said sincerely: "Director Hu, I have to thank you no matter what. Don't worry, I know that the entertainment industry is very deep. If a person wants to break into the entertainment industry, I will definitely be careful.
I definitely have no problem making movies cautiously. I have been on the crew since I was a child. I know more or less how to make movies. Besides, I don’t engage in big productions.
As for the distribution issue you mentioned, I will definitely not be alone. I have established a small company. Anyway, there are so many film and television companies now. It is not a big deal for me to set up a film and television company here, but distribution will definitely be
It can't be like this, right?
I will definitely be more cautious. It is impossible to do everything in my own company. I found that you need qualifications and channels. I didn’t plan to make a particularly large-scale production of this movie. I will definitely do it.
Regarding cost control, there is also the issue of cooperation with Wang Xiaoshu. I have discussed this issue with him before.
He said that there is no problem in co-distribution. Even if it is because of my reputation as an actor, and I won the actor's first movie, at this time, their company is also willing to cooperate with me, and it will not lose money.
He couldn't guarantee it because he hadn't watched the film himself.
So, he can't guarantee whether it will make money, but he will guarantee that he will try his best to get the film placement for my movie under the same level. If my movie performs very well after it is released,
At this time, you can appropriately increase the amount of bowel movements, and there will be no problem.
And Principal Xiao Wang and the others should not go to Principal Wang and the others for the time being. Those people are busy playing games. They seem to be participating in some game competition. Later, if I finish shooting the movie, I will do the post-production.
After it's done, bring a few of them over and let them take a look to see if they are interested in helping.
If you are interested in helping, then you can try to promote this movie together. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't help. It is a small production in the first place, and if Wang Xiaoshu helps, the rest will be dispensable."
Hu Sandao nodded at this time and said: "Okay, as long as you understand this, I'm afraid that after you get the title of Best Actor, you will drift away. This kind of situation has not happened once in the entertainment industry.
As a result, after one of my own people drifted away, the first work was rushed to the street. It was not just one or two. You can think of it this way.
Two to three million or something, this is really not a big amount of money for you. If you are willing to give it a try, it doesn't matter. Anyway, you are a newbie, right? The market's error tolerance rate for you is still quite high.
, even if you don’t make money in this step, at worst you can become an actor yourself, stop wanting to be a director, and just be an actor in a down-to-earth manner.
Producing a few good works is the foundation for an actor to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry. Of course, if you can create a few good songs, you can become a singer.
Anyway, you are in a place where you are developing on multiple fronts. Even if you fall down, you can get up again from somewhere else. I am not worried about your future. Come on, if you need any help, just say it. Nothing else.
I dare say that my connections in the entertainment industry are fairly extensive.
If you need any help, just let me know. I can't talk about money. I'm anxious now, but everything else is easy to talk about."
At this time, Ye Ming said with a smile: "I really need such an actor for Director Hu to recommend. I am now looking for one. The main role in the film means that I need an actor."
He looks very mature when he is very old, but in fact he is not a very old actor.
I originally wanted to cast Brother Hu, but Brother Hu has no problem playing a young guy. You make him look very mature, which is unrealistic. He is not the kind of person who looks very mature, right?
?
At Hu Ge's age, he is suitable to play a young idol. Besides, even if Hu Ge can act, I may not be able to afford him. Now he is the number one brother in his company, and his salary is very high.
.
So, since I am controlling the cost of this movie, I may not be able to successfully invite Hu Ge, and the company may not agree to it, right?
At this time, even if Lao Hu agreed, I might not be able to afford the salary.
I need an actor who looks more mature, but is not too old. Do you have anyone who is more suitable? If so, can you recommend it?
This actor can be regarded as one of the two male protagonists in my movie, so this person is still very important."
The person Ye Ming is talking about is He Sanshui. In real society, the role of He Sanshui is played by Xu Zhenglai, a middle-aged greasy man. His performance can be said to be penetrating.
Hu Sandao thought for a while and said, "Are you saying that he looks more mature, but in fact he is not particularly old? Is this a greasy middle-aged man?"
Ah, there are actually a few actors like this, but they don’t have much work now. Let me think about it. Let’s take Xu Zheng, Xiao Xu. Even if he is such a person, when he is in his 20s,
Looks like I'm in my 30s. When I'm in my 30s, I still look like I'm in my 30s.
Anyway, he has a relatively mature face, and with a little makeup, there is no problem at all playing the role of a greasy middle-aged man. Also, this guy doesn’t have any suitable work on hand right now.
.”
Ye Ming paused for a moment, and then said: "Old Xu, I think Old Xu is okay, how can he not have a job?
He can be considered one of the actors, right? Actors like him are also very good at acting. You can say that there are many works that can produce such works. It shouldn't be said that such an actor cannot be found.
When it comes to work, I should find him for a lot of work."
Hu Sandao said with a smile: "It is true that Lao Xu is a good actor and his acting skills are also very good. Of course, I respect him in this regard.
But, this guy is not the kind of person who is willing to be a TV actor all his life. He wants to be a director, you know?
He wants to transform. He thinks that he has no special advantages as an actor, especially for a young guy like him now. He is not a particularly handsome guy. Nowadays, the guy is cool.
It's so bad that Xu Zheng can't come at all.
If he were asked to play an older middle-aged man, most of the movies with this kind of role would be small supporting roles, and he himself would be a little unwilling to do so. However, she herself also knew that if she did not change her mind, he would basically be the same in the next two years.
He is the only middle-aged greasy man left, and he knows this very well in his heart.
So, he is one of the few actors who is good at thinking about his future. He also realizes that his future cannot always be an actor. He must always be an actor. When he gets older, he will become a middle-aged man.
The path will become narrower and narrower.
So, at this time, he was thinking about transforming. He wanted to be a director. If you think about it, if he wanted to be an actor, OK, there is no problem. At this time, he is indeed a very qualified person.
The actors' acting skills are also very good.
However, if he wants to be a director, then there are definitely not many people who can believe him. There is an essential difference between being an actor and being a director, so if he still wants to be an actor with peace of mind, then
There will definitely be scenes that require him to be filmed.
After all, his fame and acting skills are all there. Even if he doesn't look down on the protagonist of a movie now, then at this time, it will definitely be fine for him to play a supporting role or something like a golden supporting role.
He has already done very well as a TV actor and has honed his acting skills very well, so if he is willing to be a supporting role for a movie actor, then there will be absolutely no problem and there will not be too little work.
But she is not willing to be a TV actor for the rest of her life. He wants to be a movie actor, preferably starring, and he also wants to be a director, so he wants to transform. So in such a situation, what do you want?
Just think about how difficult it would be to make the transition now.
If you want to be a movie actor, it is already difficult. If a TV actor transfers to the big screen, it will be a very costly transition. There are many people who do not accept the job if they are not successful.
Regarding such a question, it's not that there are no roles for him. Some TV series still want to find him. After all, his TV series are very good in ratings and have very good followers. However, he only wants to make movies.
He is an actor, and he also wants to transform into a director, so in such a situation, he does not have many opportunities and choices.
Therefore, during this period of time, he was indeed working at home. It can be said that he once again experienced a severe beating from society. Sometimes it is so realistic. It is not easy for a TV actor to switch to the circle of film actors. It requires continuous
Prove yourself.
At this time, Xiaoxu at least has no movies that can prove that he can handle the box office, so now he has no job and his secondary line is at home. For this kind of thing, he still has to pass the test.
If he can pass this test, no problem, he may transfer to movies and become a movie star. If he cannot succeed, then at this time, he can only continue to hang out in the TV circle.
This is not what Xiao Xu wants to see, so at this time, he himself is in a dilemma. If you think about the big movies and big productions nowadays, when people choose to star at this time, their first choice
What kind of fresh meat has a small traffic, this Xu Zheng will definitely not be ranked.
Even if Ye Ming dresses up and makes fresh meat, it won't be a big problem. But, Lao Xu, you also said that a person in his 20s has a face in his 40s, so at this time, he wants to
If you go looking for fresh meat, you're basically out of luck.
He's not particularly handsome, right? These people think it's definitely impossible, especially at his age.
But, at this time, if he is asked to play a middle-aged man, at least for now, he can't accept it in his heart. Has he fallen to the stage of playing a greasy middle-aged man?
So in fact, there were one or two movies that asked him to play a supporting role in the beginning, playing a middle-aged man, but he didn't agree.
However, the reality of the entertainment industry gave him a very strict beating and made him realize it. At least now he has begun to understand the reality. If he wants to make some movies, he can only start with supporting roles and move to TV stars.
When it comes to movie cards, basically speaking, there are very few people who can play the leading role right away.
Of course, if your family has a mine, if you have a wealthy father and a background, then I won’t say this. However, if you don’t have any backer or background, it doesn’t matter if you switch from watching TV to watching movies.
You can see how many achievements there are on TV, but here we have to start with the newcomers.
However, it’s impossible to completely treat Lao Xu as a newcomer, right? But it’s almost impossible for him to be the protagonist.
You can give it a try. Now that he has gone through some setbacks, I think he will figure it out."
Ye Ning nodded and said, "I'll give it a try, but here, as I said just now, he is at most a double male protagonist, and he is even considered a supporting character.
So, in such a situation, whether he can agree to my invitation, I dare not say Lao Xu, but I know you better. I have heard people say this, so whether he can agree to my invitation,
I dare not say this myself.
I hope I can agree. Come on, there shouldn’t be any other big problems. Looking back, I will find a few other supporting actors and invite a few friends to come and make cameos. So when it comes to this movie, it costs 2 to 3 million.
Is it easy to do?
If it comes to the end, it may not even cost two to three million, depending on the situation.
I will contact Sister Mimi to see if she has time to join our crew. If she has time, that would be the best. Otherwise, I will find another one later. Anyway, it will be started soon.
I want to arrange the shooting location, and the rest will be prepared in an orderly manner.
If Sister Mimi can be brought over, it will be more or less a selling point for publicity. There are some famous actresses in the crew, but I can't afford to hire more famous ones. Mingyue has already given her face once,
It’s not appropriate to always ask, right?
Although our crew is not particularly well-known, only Lao Xu and Sister Mimi are quite famous. Now let’s invite Sister Mimi over first, shall we?”
