muscle actor

Chapter 59 Untimely
Ding Cheng carefully wrote down that he will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate with top directors in the future. These are all experiences to avoid stepping on thunder.

Wang Tian took a sip of his wine and interjected: "If you want me to say that everything follows the money now, even the best directors have to compromise in the face of capital. They just bow their heads or just kneel."

Liu Hongyi nodded approvingly and said: "That's right, there are no more than ten people in the whole circle who are capable of challenging the capital, and it's not that they are not short of money. more."

"It's just that they have partners who have cooperated with them for many years. They know the origin of the money and can use it with confidence. In the director's opinion, what is a truly good investment?"

"You are only responsible for throwing money away, and you will never gossiping on the set!"

"Making a movie is starting a business and throwing out tens of billions of dollars, and in the end there is no sound. Who wouldn't be in a hurry?"

"The audience bought a ticket and came out to scold the director, the screenwriter, and finally the actors. Are we willing to work hard for a few months and then be scolded?"

"Hey……"

Everyone toasted, without saying anything, all in the wine.Ding Cheng also has a deep understanding, filming is also a pyramid, the bottom is the actors, there are so many actors, there is no shortage of one out of a hundred.

In the middle is the script, which is what is most lacking now. Finding a good script with full characters, clear logic, and twists and turns in the plot is simply rare.

At the top is a good director, this profession is destined to burn money.For any top director, looking through the previous history, who hasn't lost hundreds of millions?
What's even more awesome is not losing money, but what you lose is not your own money!

Wuyou suddenly drank the wine glass in his hand, put it heavily on the table, and said helplessly: "You just asked me why I didn't set up my own family?"

"In terms of investment, we have been around for so many years anyway, and money is not a problem. In terms of level, we can't compare to those big directors, but we are definitely not bad!"

"After all, I still lack a good book!"

"Look at the so-called script now. The eight-year war of resistance began, and my grandfather was brutally killed by devils when he was nine years old. What the hell are you talking about!"

"There are many themes, the plot is bloody, and the lines are full of loopholes... more than ten years ago, there was a script first, then the actors were found, and the filming finally started. Now it is completely reversed. Less than one in [-] screenwriters actually write the script. It's the shooter!"

Ding Cheng is also very speechless on this point. Most of the screenwriters in China now use the commission system. Simply put, the screenwriter accepts the commission of the producer to create.Film studios often follow the principle of market first and require the script to operate according to a specific route.

They are all semi-finished scripts that have been hastily started before they meet the shooting requirements. The screenwriters are rushing to release the scripts and can only write and shoot at the same time. It is no exaggeration to say that more than [-]% of TV series now are like this.

Just write fifteen episodes, and some dramas even dare to shoot only five episodes. Often the director starts shooting with the outline and shoots whatever scenes he gets every day. In the end, the plot content is not even connected.

There are screenwriters in the company, and the girls all graduated from Chinese opera, and have even mixed with many big screenwriters.The script is changed every day in the dark, and people can write whatever they say.

Tired like a dog, he can only earn thousands of dollars. He is called a screenwriter, but he has unknowingly become a legendary gunman.

I’m used to working as a team. For example, a big screenwriter who can sell movies will put his name on it, draw up the outline, and let the gunman write the rest.Therefore, some screenwriters can write more than a dozen scripts a year, and it seems that they can publish a script in their dreams.

A bunch of people write together, chasing after each other, just like homework.A script should be written by hand for at least three months.They are faster, chat about a case today, outline in a few days, and finish the script in a week.

The treatment and rights of screenwriters abroad are completely different from others. Especially in South Korea, screenwriters are very authoritative. Even the director cannot modify the script without authorization. It is even more disrespectful to the screenwriter to change the lines of actors.

Many Korean dramas are under the responsibility of screenwriters. Investors look at the screenwriters to attract investment, and screenwriters can choose their own directors and actors.There was also an example where the screenwriter's wife asked a popular star to be a driver for a day to accompany her.

An actor never dares to offend a screenwriter. Once the relationship with the screenwriter becomes tense, the person in the play will be immediately sent abroad or killed, and you can only get out of the movie.

Even if it is an American drama that is filmed and broadcast at the same time, the screenwriter's status is very high, at the top of the team, in charge of the life and death of the film and television works.

It's often an assembly line, too, with hits like "Lost" and "Ugly Betty" having no fewer than eight writers.

When "Friends" was filmed for ten years, there were no less than twelve screenwriters on the crew, and they got together for a long time to discuss certain details and improve the plot at any time.

And the poor little ones in China can only fight alone, and various cases of being bullied and disrespecting intellectual copyrights emerge in endlessly.

The work was plagiarized, the final payment was not honored, the TV station cut off the subtitles of the staff in order to increase advertising revenue, leaving only the title of the play...

Especially in the past two years, many film and television companies have been vying to go public to make money. They don't even look at the ratings when filming. They all go for the numbers because they want to make good accounts.

The boss patted the table and aggressively announced a small goal for this year: to make 20 films first!
Then all kinds of chaos will happen, and eventually something goes wrong. In the eyes of the capitalists, as long as you find a good lawyer, you can settle the matter.At worst, you can throw money at it, but if you really encounter someone who doesn't open your eyes, you will be tortured to death.

"Whether it's Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, or Zhou Chunyu, who is so popular now, I think there is only one standard for Lao Mouzi to choose a heroine."

Liu Hongyi's face turned red and he pointed to Jiang Shan: "It's original, either simple, innocent, or youthful. It doesn't matter whether you have acting experience or not, but you must have clear eyes and your own unique temperament."

"Wang Jing's fat man has a very unique taste. He once joked that as long as I can stand on the belly of an actress, she will be Miss Jing!"

"Mr. Xu likes the most charming and strong personality actresses, Lin Qingxia from the East, Wang Zuxian from A Chinese Ghost Story, Cecilia Cheung from Shushan, all of them have long legs, elegant demeanor, elegant and refined appearance, and become a wonderful combination of softness and charm." Hybrid."

"If you want to become a star girl, I heard from Zhang Yuqi that Master Xing's bottom line for casting actors is not to have any plastic surgery."

"I am most familiar with Zhao Baogang. His taste in choosing actresses has undergone three changes. From the earliest images of women in the market, to the creation of urban beauties, now he belongs to the cold beauties who prefer young people. There is a change that becomes more fashionable and younger as he shoots. curve."

"International director Ang Lee doesn't like actors who are too mature, such as Tang Wei, a newcomer who debuts, has a devilish figure, is extremely intelligent, and has a bit of an elegant and classic temperament."

"Wong Kar Wai is the least picky eater. Casting has always been ingenious. He likes to work with actors from different backgrounds and with different trainings. From senior actors, to actors who have retired for a long time, and even outsiders with no filming experience..."

The meal was full of rewards, and he got a lot of inside information from Liu Hongyi. Ding Cheng understood that this was the other party's intentional show of favor, hoping to make the relationship more warm.

For Liu Hongyi now, there is no such thing as Tsundere at that time. A good actor like Ding Cheng is a favorite everywhere. As long as he doesn't deliberately kill himself, his future is limitless.

In the future, when you encounter a good script, you will definitely need help from others. After a meal, the guest and the host will have a great time. This personal relationship must not be broken.
