Chapter 248 The power of the crew

Although "President" did not become a big hit, its solid quality and Su Zhe's appeal still allowed it to maintain a stable number of hits.

This didn't make Su Zhe more popular, but it made his reputation better.

From "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" to "The President", from the most realistic and heavy historical drama to the most exaggerated and fantasy hegemonic drama, he has proven his ability.

The luckiest person is actually Zhang Yuhan, who has been around for many years, filmed countless supporting roles and backgrounds, and finally became famous in one drama, once again writing the dream-making legend in the entertainment industry.

This also made the circle improve their evaluation of Su Zhe.

Liu Heluo quietly told him:

"When I first received your film contract, the company was not happy and thought the price was too low. Now they let me sign the contract without saying anything!"

Su Zhe laughed. Her company is not stupid. It knows when to make money and when to participate even if it is not making money, just to increase its reputation.

Su Zhe at least paid according to the contract. In order to appear in the director's film, some artists received kickbacks from the relevant people after receiving the salary, leaving little in their own hands, and they might even pay them back.

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer." Su Zhe said firmly, "This role will last you a lifetime!"

Liu Heluo has been in the industry for four or five years. Apart from his good looks, he has never produced any outstanding works. His popularity has gradually declined, but his popularity among passers-by is there.

As long as he can successfully play a classic role, he will be instantly popular, which will be enough for her to chew on for another five years.

"Well, I believe you!" Liu Heluo said firmly.

Su Zhe hung up the phone and continued to discuss the casting of "Mischief Kiss" with Tian Ming:

"The male and female leads have been decided. The most important thing now is the second male lead and the second female lead."

"Mischief Kiss" is a classic idol drama configuration. The second male lead is the heroine's loyal licker, and the second female lead is Bai Fumei who loves the male lead.

In previous idol dramas, especially stage puppets, the heroine liked to use a girl-next-door style actor, who was generally described as "not pretty enough, but kind, sincere and cute" to facilitate the audience's substitution.

The second female lead, on the other hand, will choose a beautiful woman. She comes with special effects when she appears. It goes without saying that she will be a powerful enemy of the heroine in love.

This setting is very classic, not only in line with the character's image, but also has the feeling of a little character's counterattack in love, which enhances the audience's sense of immersion.

But now, the situation has changed——

If the heroine is not beautiful, she will be criticized and asked why she should be the heroine;

If the second female lead is too beautiful and "overwhelms" the female lead, the female lead will be unhappy.

So this classic setting of the second female lead being more beautiful than the female lead gradually disappeared.

This also makes idol dramas, which require minimal logic, become more and more difficult to watch.

But as an investor, Su Zhe would not get used to this bad habit and said directly:

"Since it is an idol drama, we should always choose good-looking actors. The second male lead, Ah Jin... Yu Haohua! I have competed with Huo Qubing before. He has good acting skills and is quite handsome."

The second male lead is easy to decide, but the second female lead is more difficult.

Who in the entertainment industry dares to say that good looks can stabilize Liu Heluo?

Fortunately, Liu Heluo's facial features are more childish and look like a rag doll. After makeup, they can become ordinary and cute.

Just find a beautiful girl to play the second female lead, add filters and atmosphere, and that's it.

After all, in this era, it is impossible for Su Zhe to find an ordinary-looking actress to play the heroine of an idol drama, otherwise she will really be criticized by the audience.

"The glamorous type?" Su Zhe's heart moved, "Isn't You Mengli the pinnacle of the glamorous type..."

With a sudden inspiration in his heart, he immediately gave up this dangerous idea.

Forget it, I, Su Cheng, still want to live for two more years.

In addition to You Mengli, Su Zhe thought of acquaintances——

Zhang Yuhan!

"It's her! I'll be the one to lead the fire. Is there anything wrong with accepting a friendly price?"

Su Zhe chuckled and planned to save further money for himself.

Tian Ming frowned when Su Zhe heard that Su Zhe had instantly decided on one actor, two male actors, and one female actor, two female actors. He immediately suggested seriously:

"Teacher Su, this is the first play you have written. I think we should be more cautious? Let's do a small-scale audition."

"Yes, of course there is an audition." Su Zhe also thought it was right, "Forget it about Liu Heluo. Our two names together will sell the drama better, so it is impossible to change. Besides, the performance is not difficult, and it will be no problem for her to play her true self."

Tian Ming has no opinion:

"Of course, but the second male and female lead must audition."

Su Zhe agreed and called Yu Haohua and Zhang Yuhan personally.

Both of them agreed.

Su Zhe wanted to sweep the building with Zhang Yuhan and continue to promote "The President", so he simply auditioned her himself and let Tian Ming audition Yu Haohua.

Zhang Yuhan is very smart, so she made it clear when cleaning the building:

"Teacher Su has a new drama in preparation, and he wants to audition me personally."

The audience was really excited:

【Second match?The CEO and his wife are having a second date? 】

[CP fans are so happy. I didn’t expect to collaborate with Zhang Yuhan in the first two dramas? (Su Zhe has no CP in "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty") You can't be serious, right? 】

【Ah ah ah! Knocked me to death! A little-known actor was chosen by a famous star to work in two dramas in a row and became famous in one fell swoop! It’s like the plot of an idol drama, so sweet! 】

This is a shift from drama CP to real-life CP.

Su Zhe was stunned and glanced at Zhang Yuhan, admiring him in his heart.

With just one sentence, she accomplished her goal of sprinkling sugar on CP fans, making them more motivated to follow "The President", and also promoted "Mischief Kiss" in advance.

He could even use Su Zhe's fame to promote himself, but Su Zhe didn't feel disgusted.

Kill four birds with one stone, I admire you!He is worthy of being a veteran who has been in the industry for many years.

Su Zhe sighed in his heart, even though Zhang Yuhan looks like a weakened version of You Mengli, his scheming is much better than that of You Mengli.

After cleaning the building, Su Zhe briefly auditioned for Zhang Yuhan. His acting skills were still average, but he was enough to act in an idol drama, so he said:

"Then please save your schedule, Mr. Zhang, and filming will start soon."

<divclass="contentadv">Su Zhe had just settled on the second female lead when he received a call from Yu Haohua and laughed:

"Brother, we were competitors before, but now we can cooperate!"

There was a hint of confusion in Yu Haohua's tone:

"My acting was too rubbish, and Director Tian pointed out several mistakes. Forget it, I'll go back and hone my acting skills."

Su Zhe was stunned. He remembered that Yu Haohua was very good at acting and couldn't help but ask:

"You didn't have a drink before the audition?"

Yu Haohua's tone was full of helplessness:

"Brother, I'm not a fool, how could I drink before an audition?"

Su Zhe scratched his head, thought for a while, and called Tian Ming directly to ask:

"Director Tian, ​​how was Teacher Yu's audition?"

Tian Ming replied earnestly:

"Teacher Su, Teacher Yu's acting skills are of course very good, but he is not suitable for the role of A Jin. During the performance, he..."

Tian Ming talked for a long time, and finally said:

"That's what we all agree on."

Since Su Zhe had assembled a crew, he definitely couldn't just hire a director. He also hired behind-the-scenes staff such as cameramen and art directors based on Tian Ming's recommendation.

"Unanimous opinion." Su Zhe pondered.

Tian Ming asked Su Zhe:

"What was the result of Zhang Yuhan's audition?"

"Yes, it can meet the requirements of the idol drama." Su Zhe replied, "After all, she plays the heroine in "The President"."

Tian Ming persuaded him earnestly:

"Teacher Su, when we produce TV series, we must have an artistic mentality. Art cannot be compromised. Let Teacher Zhang come over and let's audition again."

Su Zhe felt something was wrong. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly saw Zhang Yuhan motioning for him to hang up.

Su Zhe said calmly:

"Let me think about it."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and looked at Zhang Yuhan.

Zhang Yuhan asked with a smile:

"Director Tian is not satisfied with me?"

"Of course not." Su Zhe didn't want to cause conflicts among the crew before filming started, so he explained, "Director Tian strives for perfection and is more cautious."

Zhang Yuhan smiled and said:

"What's the point of being cautious? I heard it clearly from the sidelines. Although you are an investor, but you have already decided on the main role, what power does he have as a director?"

Su Zhe was stunned.

Zhang Yuhan said with a smile:

"For example, in our movie "The President", the investors only selected the second female lead. As the biggest star, you only asked for the script and did not participate in the casting."

There was a hint of sarcasm on her face:

"The crew let the director have the final say. This is called having the power. Why did the director praise you so much in the interview? Just because you didn't exercise your superstar power, so he was happy."

Su Zhe was stunned. He made this film for a salary of 100 million, and changed the script for his own reputation. What is the power of the crew? There’s no organization, so it’s no use!

Zhang Yuhan sneered:

"It's so effective. Teacher Su, you became famous early and didn't have to go through the hardships of auditioning."

Wait, she is the heroine who emerged from the audition!

They say she is lucky, could it be...

Su Zhe's heart was agitated:

Damn it! I see!

Zhang Yuhan looked at his expression and suddenly smiled:

"Do you feel like you've missed something?"

Su Zhe Zhengyi shook his head:

"I'm not that kind of person."

Zhang Yuhan smiled and said without saying anything:

"I won't go to the audition. I definitely won't pass the audition. You two can tell me the result after you finish the battle."

Su Zhe: ...

"What do I have to fight for? Star actor + screenwriter + investor, these identities combined, do I need to fight? Which one doesn't have the final say?"

Even the weakest screenwriter theoretically has a high right to speak, or the right to interpret the plot——

"I wrote this! You know nothing!"

It's just that due to practical factors, few screenwriters can be so tough.

But then again, Su Zhe didn't let the director change his script, and the remuneration he gave wasn't much, just the normal market price. He didn't give the crew any power, and he completely treated the director as a tool. Who would do it?

As long as you have some ability, you can't be so humble.

The entertainment industry is not a "if you don't do it, others will do it" industry.

"But if you give him too much power..." Su Zhe was uneasy, "What should I do if he messes around?"

Su Zhe himself "keeps himself clean" and will not engage in unspoken rules.

He doesn't want this to happen in his own drama.

It’s not that he has an excessive sense of justice, but a very real problem——

Bad artists will be banned from the show!

He worked hard to copy the classics of his previous life, but he was implicated by a bad artist. Isn't that too unlucky? !

The season has changed, everyone, beware of catching a cold. I was hit and my head was dizzy.
