When it comes to paying attention to the response to the launch, Chen Tianhai is much more competent than Lin Shuangshuang.
His purpose in joining the industry was the same as Lin Shuangshuang's in the beginning, just to earn more money to support himself.
But as you stay in this industry for longer, you will inevitably be affected. Now, not only do you want to make money, you also want to be a celebrity, you want attention, and you want more fans...
In short, the longer you stay in a circle, the easier it is to generate desire.
Because this is Vanity Fair.
The less famous he is, the more he will be wronged. So what if he plays the supporting actor?
If you are not well-known enough, you will be replaced by investors at any time.
If the male protagonist doesn't cooperate, he has to obey the director's instructions and wait on the set...from morning to night.
The man who is almost thirty years old is increasingly unwilling to waste time like this.
He has been wasting his time in this business for too long.
…
Yes, a man's golden age lasts longer than that of a female star, but this is not unlimited.
He has no foundation, and the only thing he is good at is his martial arts skills. However, the times are developing, and there are more and more young, good-looking and talented stars in the industry.
There are gradually more and more martial arts stand-ins, and today's directors are not as demanding about action as they were in the past.
In comparison, the fact that he has martial arts skills is not that important at all.
Young people who are learning to dance can still perform the same movements gracefully and beautifully with a little practice.
Now that the contract has been transferred to a new company, and the TV series investment is so huge, I am even more picky about my acting skills...
Chen Tianhai has put all his hopes for a new life on this TV show.
Fortunately, his manager also valued him and took the time to watch the first two episodes with him.
After once again getting through the long commercial, the ending song sounded and the trailer for the next episode finished playing...
Only then did Chen Tianhai turn his head in a daze.
Facing the agent's disbelieving gaze, he reached out and touched his face:
"No wonder Huaixue said I had plastic surgery..."
His expression was in a daze, and he looked as if he was drunk.
"Brother Zhao, am I...so good-looking now?"
The company specially hired a stylist to transform him from head to toe, and he didn't know that.
There are requirements for eating, clothing, sitting, lying down, and walking postures are all strictly trained, but anyone who has practiced martial arts can endure hardships. Therefore, although Chen Tianhai felt that the requirements were a bit too detailed, he did not find it difficult to do it, and he quickly adjusted.
The posture is practiced.
But he practiced it during the early training, and made adjustments after joining the crew. During the entire filming period, he had no time to think about himself...
Besides, what if you think about it?
You can see it every day, and you won't notice any changes.
At the very least, the assistant was with him every day, so he didn't notice such a big change.
…
The agent also looked at it carefully and sighed.
"Damn it, you have such good conditions, how many years did that rubbish company delay you in the past!"
He said bitterly:
"You signed it under my hand a long time ago, and now you will be a king every minute."
After letting out the big words, he saw the assistant next to him peeking at him, and the manager thought something was wrong.
Because the agent was also hired from another company. In his previous company, if the young man was so handsome, he would basically be wasted at the wine table with investors...
Forget it, just pretend he didn't say it.
He coughed awkwardly and stopped talking.
…
Chen Tianhai still has sense. He looks in the mirror every day. How can he not know what he looks like?
Even if his previous agency was incompetent, they did not make him look bad.
Of course, those weird looks in TV dramas are not included here.
But now, I never expected that just by retouching myself, he would appear so perfect in the camera!
This made him feel proud.
"I don't believe that I can still have no fans after this TV series is broadcast!"
The main thing is that fans can say their names.
The dramas he acted in before were too complicated. The audience knew it was that group when they saw it. Several people gathered together in a swarm. Today he is in this drama and tomorrow he is in that drama. I really have to name them... there are really not many
One that can be said.
It's quite sad when you think about it.
Thinking about Lin Shuangshuang again, Chen Tianhai sighed:
"Lin Shuangshuang is really good-looking. Her face is a standard movie face, and it's perfectly photogenic."
No, I can’t say it’s flawless, but it’s quite distinctive.
Especially those eyes, you will never forget them once you see them.
Didn't you see in the play just now that when she met the male protagonist for the first time, the close-ups focused on her eyes?
That's what God rewards you with, and you have a pair of eyes that can speak.
I want to stop talking.
Indescribable and endless affection.
…
The manager's wary eyes came over again, and Chen Tianhai quickly raised his hands in surrender:
"Brother Zhao, don't be so excited, we are the male and female protagonists!"
"We can't just say nothing about it in the future. Wouldn't it be weirder? People thought there was a conflict between us when word spread."
The assistant weakly interjected from the side:
"Actually, they are both so good-looking and their acting skills are so good...Brother Tianhai, after all, the age gap may be a bit big."
It is obvious that Lin Shuangshuang is a fan.
Chen Tianhai:......
He is only twenty-eight years old this year!
Twenty-eight years old!
Golden age!
Why are you so old?
But then I thought about it - the heroine is only eighteen this year.
He said nothing.
…
The agent actually listened to what he said before.
At this moment, I hummed twice and thought to myself: It is indeed true.
but……
"I'll stress it to you again. If you are in the same state as before, you can get married, let alone fall in love! I don't care about you."
"However, we have such good conditions in the company and have created such a perfect new image for you. If you dare to take advantage of this time to fall in love... you might as well stop being in this circle."
joke!
This face will become a popular lover in a minute. If you are exposed to dating at this time...
You are simply digging your own grave.
How many fans have lost their fans!
Chen Tianhai naturally knew the pros and cons and nodded cautiously at this moment.
"Don't worry, I won't."
…
The text message on the mobile phone sent out a notification sound. When the agent opened it and took a look, he immediately stood up in surprise:
"The ratings broke three!"
Chen Tianhai also stood up in surprise.
"Breaking three?!"
Generally speaking, if a TV series breaks through the number three in its first broadcast, then it will definitely stabilize in the future.
After all, the overall quality of today's TV is still guaranteed, and it will not be like that of later generations, where various capitals compete with each other, or actors are picky, which ultimately leads to bizarre twists in the plot and a landslide in reputation.
He walked around twice, and his assistant also reported:
"Some people have already started discussing you on the Tianya Haijiao forum, and the number of followers on Tieba has reached 350,000."
"There's not much movement on Weibo, there are only a few thousand people here and there..."
But this is already much better than before.
The agent looked at Chen Tianhai seriously:
"From now on, you will no longer be a random passerby in various TV series. They will all remember your name."
The impact of this moment was so beautiful that Chen Tianhai almost cried.
But what about the grown man!
He wiped his red eyes and said to his agent:
"Brother Zhao, let's have a drink."
Then he said to the assistant: "Ah Chen, you have worked so hard during this time, I will send you a red envelope tomorrow!"
The assistant still has to take care of them and may have to drive later, so he can't drink alcohol.
But in the past two months, the assistant has been diligent and considerate of every detail.
Chen Tianhai had already thought of sending him a big red envelope.
But before I had time, I caught up with the good news again. I was so excited today that I just said it directly.
The assistants were also happy. Their salaries were uniformly distributed by the company, as well as various subsidies. But the celebrities who followed were willing to take the initiative to give out red envelopes, which was naturally the best thing.
…
Agent Zhao Ge was also very happy.
He had a premonition that he would have a new star on his hands!
Well... not considered a new star.
In short, it will definitely bring out a popular male star.
Get a promotion, raise your salary, get rich commissions, buy a house, a car, and transfer to another school district...
The future is just around the corner.
Let’s look at Chen Tianhai’s image carefully created by the company’s stylist——
How is this so perfect?
Broad shoulders, thin waist, long legs, and a face that looks more and more handsome. What woman doesn’t like this?
Fans came up within minutes.
Obviously she didn’t do the hairstyle that is popular nowadays, but she looks more and more fashionable...
"Okay, I have to drink it!"
…
The manager's arrogant words had just come out, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly reacted and glared at Chen Tianhai:
"What to drink?"
"You touch your own face. It took a lot of effort to make it look like this. After a meal of wine, you will be haggard again tomorrow!"
"No, no."
He walked around the room twice and finally gritted his teeth:
"Achen, tomorrow, tomorrow you go buy some facial masks and supervise Tianhai so that he can apply them at home."
The life of male celebrities these days is actually very rough. They are very different from the celebrities of later generations who wear facial masks every day.
For example, when Chen Tianhai heard the words "mask", his face stiffened.
He has been practicing martial arts since childhood and considers himself a pure man, a rough guy.
After getting into the entertainment industry, doing some skin care and putting on makeup from time to time is a rare breakthrough.
I didn’t expect that I would start wearing facial masks at home now…
But...but, think about your current image.
"Yes, you can't drink!"
What are you afraid of wearing a facial mask? A real man wants to improve his reputation!
He circled around twice: "I'm going to the practice room for a boxing session!"
He lives alone in this 80-square-meter apartment, and one of the rooms has been converted into a practice room.
After all, it’s okay to run downstairs in the community, but when it comes to boxing... no matter how much privacy a celebrity has and how guaranteed they are, they still have to be more cautious.
There’s nothing wrong with exercise, right?
The agent nodded with satisfaction.
"If you maintain this mentality, it doesn't mean that you are not allowed to drink."
"It's okay to have a couple of drinks in moderation, but on such an important day, I'm afraid you'll get drunk as soon as you drink and you won't be able to hold it back."
Then he ordered: "Then the boxing shouldn't be too intense."
"It's already night now. Don't be too excited, which will affect your sleep. Your skin will be haggard tomorrow."
Chen Tianhai nodded solemnly.
This is the downfall of a generation of straight men.
…
After finally seeing off his agent and assistant, his excitement had worn off. Seeing that it was already getting late, Chen Tianhai had to go to bed early in order not to stay up late.
However, before I could change my clothes, my phone rang.
"Brother Hai, Brother Hai, you are going to be popular!"
The caller was Yu Huaixue.
Chen Tianhai was happy, but at the same time he was a little confused: "Aren't you on the crew? Didn't you say that the filming task is very heavy?"
He joined the crew about half a month ago for intensive filming. The scenes every day are so heavy that he has to live and die. In addition, the director has high requirements for acting skills, and a shot may be stuck five or six times...
Even for Yu Huaixue, who has been in the industry for seven or eight years, it is still a lot of pressure.
But at this moment, there was no hint of joy in his cheerful voice.
…
"Yeah yeah!"
Yu Huaixue said happily: "But the director also heard that our company's first drama will premiere tonight, so he specially made time for everyone to watch it."
He murmured in a low voice: "As you know, the two of them usually have a little competition. The scenes they film are always stuck in the same time period and the smell of cigarettes is strong."
Yu Huaixue didn't say anything else, but she had a handful of gossips.
"The company's current main investment is in these two dramas, one modern and one ancient. Directors also need to compete with each other to see how good they are."
"Furthermore, there are too many pre-directions for this drama. The director and assistant directors quarrel every day over several storyboards and compositions. No, we also have to look at the results after they accept the transformation..."
He talked so much, he was really a chatterbox.
After that, he didn't even have time to wait for Chen Tianhai's reply, so he said again:
"But Brother Hai, after seeing your drama, I suddenly became full of confidence in myself. I will definitely become popular! I must film this drama well!"
Brother Hai has changed so much, so much. Not to mention he is a man, the brothers are still together every day. When they see the people in the camera, they can't help but stare a little straight.
Just as he was talking, someone on the set was heard shouting -
"Come on, come on, come and have a meeting!"
Yu Huaixue said quickly: "Brother, I'm going to hang up now. The director has organized a meeting for us. He must be stimulated——"
Chen Tianhai:......
In fact, I just said one sentence.
…
The director was not stimulated.
Who in the industry doesn’t know someone else’s style?
Especially since they are all directors of the same level, now seeing how the directors' skills in "Deep Sea" have greatly improved, the whole style seems to have been completely transformed.
The director of The Empress also has a sense of crisis.
In contrast, others can act with such meticulous detail in a love scene. How can they be so subtle in their grand palace intrigue drama?
No, if the veteran actors should improve their acting skills, they should improve it. If the young people can't keep up, just train them for me. As long as they can't practice to death, they will practice to death!
The director held a big tea cup and slapped it on the table. The assistant directors around him were spitted out and all of them leaned back in unison.
"I want the ratings of this drama to break five!"
He screamed heartbreakingly and told his arrogant dream.
There was silence.
Only Yu Huaixue stupidly stood up and clapped:
"Yes! If we want to break five, I will be more popular than my brother Hai!"
The director greatly appreciated: "Okay, you are ambitious! I will keep an eye on you tomorrow. If you can't take it in one shot, we will take it ten times!"
Yu Huaixue:......qaq
The next moment, the sparse applause around them slowly became louder and louder.
The director is satisfied.
"Okay, all the actors should disperse and go do whatever you have to do. The director team and the film crew will all stay..."
…
As soon as Chen Tianhai hung up the phone, Chu Feng called again.
"Brother Hai, you can't get through on the phone. Are there too many people announcing the good news?"
Chen Tianhai smiled:
"It was Huaixue just now. It's not like you don't know what his mouth is. He talks about it endlessly."
Chu Feng understood.
"Brother, you have changed so much that I dare not recognize you."
Chu Feng sighed and then became happy again:
"But brother, my agent said that when I return to the company after this shooting, there will be a professional stylist to make arrangements for me, saying that the next film will definitely be mine."
There are so many artists in the company, and there are only two or three crews in total. One of them is a children's drama, so it is impossible to arrange everyone into it.
Therefore, they arranged the order internally according to the star potential level.
Once Ding Wei is here, there is no need to worry about the script at all.
Secondly, with the exchange of resources, other companies also have good crews waiting for them.
What's more, the three screenwriters originally signed by the company have now been promoted and raised their salaries. They don't have all kinds of troubles, and the scripts they wrote are equally beautiful and in-depth.
Therefore, although Chu Feng's words were a bit envious, he was also confident in himself.
Chen Tianhai said a few words of encouragement, and then he heard the notification on his cell phone and sighed: "Let's not talk about it for now. I guess A-Lian will call later."
you do not say.
Huo Lian also said with great expectation: "Brother Hai, we are indeed right to sign a new company! Brother, I suddenly feel that there is no hope in the industry."
The calls came one after another, and Chen Tianhai could only answer them one by one.
Looking at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock now. He had already decided to turn off his phone. Unexpectedly, another call came.
It's the director.
…
Although the filming of this TV series was a bit too cumbersome for the director in the early stage, the company didn't seem to trust them very much. They stated various strict requirements and added several assistant directors to work with them.
But...but it smells really good when photographed!
The male and female leading actors are not required to change or add scenes on the spot.
I do all the moves myself, and I don't have to worry about a stand-in.
The acting skills of the minor supporting roles are all top-notch, and there is no need to blow your beard, stare, or pinch your nose.
The costumes and props were even more exquisite, and the director didn't need to remind anyone later to make the scene more beautiful.
How comfortable this is.
When they become directors, this is the kind of life they dream of.
After this intensive shooting, he and several assistant directors had new ideas about storyboarding and composition. They felt that the whole technology had been greatly improved, and the next shot would be a high-quality one.
But when I got home, I picked up two scripts and read them——
Forget it, wake up a little bit.
There are very few companies with as much wealth as Xinghai in the past 10 or 20 years since they have been in the industry!
Luxurious cars and mansions can be found at your fingertips.
Luxury clothing brands, investors one after another, where to find them!
In the past, when I was filming a drama, the total investment was one million, and I had to publicize it to three or four million.
After all, investors, big and small, all have requests. Today this investor sends his little lover over, and tomorrow the other investor calls and says he's here to have fun.
Otherwise, in the middle of filming, if you decide which actors are pretty, you all have to have a meal together!
Don't want to eat?
Why, you look down on us, these rough guys who only know how to take money!
During this period, we drank, touched our little hands... and socialized...
Tmd, can the director not be upset?
But for money, for investment!
If you accidentally make an investor angry, what should you do if they withdraw their investment?
Although they are quite famous, they are not really top-notch directors, so naturally they are not that tough.
Another investor would have almost the same virtue.
Anyway, you can always make money by making TV. It’s just a matter of making more or less. For those investment bosses, they don’t care about this at all...
Nowadays, actors are easy to get rid of, not to mention not doing anything, but what they really do... You are willing to do what I want, no one can care about it, right?
So if that's the case, what are you worried about?
Just being happy is the most important thing.
The investors are happy, but the director is feeling suffocated!
…
But why is the mermaid so happy despite being photographed so quickly?
Just because during the whole process, the investor did not do much except bring people in to take a look and chat with the heroine for a few words!
Didn't even have a meal!
Not even calling to ask for this or that!
No longer have to beg grandpa to sue grandma for hundreds of thousands, and have to worry about people withdrawing funds... A lot of money can be used in the account, and the director himself felt a little embarrassed after using it.
In addition, the male and female protagonists did not dare to make any additional demands for their roles, so the other supporting roles naturally shrunk.
The designer we invited was particularly suitable for the shooting, and without any shortage of money, all the supporting facilities were the pinnacle of the director's photography career...
Just like that, why does he expect other crews besides Xinghai Company to have them?
——Let’s take a shower and go to bed.
…
To be honest, since the filming of the film was completed, the director has been thinking about this matter every day.
But come on, freedom is important.
Secondly, come on, he also wants to wait and see.
Three...Three, wouldn't it be that if you choose too quickly, you might easily make others look down on you?
But who would have known that the first episode had just been aired, and I already had so many phone calls from my colleagues.
Now, why do you care about this and that?
My stomach is filled with a sense of crisis.
At this time, the director called Chen Tianhai and felt that the young man had a bright future and he should be considered a role in the company.
You should be able to talk to the senior management.
In addition, I just asked first, looking for someone with too much status...it's hard to say.
The two of them exchanged business blows and exchanged pleasantries. It felt like they hadn't done this kind of thing for a long time, and it felt very strange.
Alas, it’s all the crew’s fault for spoiling them!
But fortunately, the works he was praising were all his own, so it wasn’t too embarrassing. After a long chat, the director got to the point:
"What is that, Tianhai?"
"Your company seems to have a lot of people signing up. I heard they are all in all fields."
Some designers, some stylists, some screenwriters, some who specialize in post-production and so on...
