Let you invest, and you can support half of the entertainment industry?

The names of Sha Ruijin, Ji Changming, Zhao Donglai and other characters were written on the blackboard by Xu Jia, with small cards introducing the characters below.

"Give each teacher a copy of the script."

Xu Jia gave an order, then looked at the many veteran actors and said: "You guys will pick whichever role you think is suitable. We won't have an audition today, and we will do it according to the wishes of the teachers."

This directly overturned Kong Sheng's previous decision, but the latter had no objection at all. Instead, he felt that Xu Jia's idea was just right.

After all, he didn't expect Jiaxing's brand to have such a strong appeal before, and all the veteran actors in the industry are here.

Many of them have worked with Kong Sheng and Hou Hongliang. Whoever is given this role or not will be easily offended.

It's better to follow Xu Jia's method and rely on everyone's free will.

It will also be an interesting story if word spreads about it in the future.

Although the actors here have long been accustomed to being picked on in the market like meat, they still felt respected and interesting when they heard Xu Jia's proposal.

The latter is more important to them. At their age, they are still filming not only for the salary, but also for the pursuit of a career.

It would be great if it could provide an extra layer of fun in addition to this pursuit.

This is like an actor choosing a role. The more challenging it is, the more he wants to do it. Even if he doesn't get paid, he has to pay for it at his own expense, just for the extra something.

"Then you're welcome. Let me play Chen Yanshi."

Li Xue took away Chen Yanshi's card when he saw that he was not allowed to do his job. Only after reading the script did he understand how powerful the project Xu Jia was going to do this time.

The villain level is basically the highest in domestic dramas. If possible, he is quite interested in the role of Li Dakang.

It's a pity that no one posted it, which means that there is already a candidate, so it was abandoned.

"First come, first served. Some are quick and some are slow. This Chen Yanshi belongs to Teacher Li Xuejian."

Xu Jia smiled and posted Li Xuejian's photo under the character. He could tell that the old man had thoughts about Li Dakang.

But this character needs a less famous actor to portray.

Otherwise, when the audience first sees the character, their first impression is of Li Xuejian, not Li Dakang, then it will be a drama.

If you haven’t seen Wu Gang later on, everyone he plays is said to be like Li Dakang by the audience.

Even when famous actors have their masterpieces, they are often considered by the audience to be routine and their roles are homogeneous.

Just like Chen Daoming, whoever plays the role is Chen Daoming.

This is because if you are familiar with this face and the actor's own acting habits, you will get bored.

It doesn't have the same fresh impact as before.

Liang Chaowei is known as the actor with a thousand faces, but he achieved it mostly by destroying or changing his character appearance, so-called borrowing external help.

So, I’m sorry Mr. Yukimi, we can only cooperate in other projects.

"Then Sha Ruijin, let me do it."

Zhang Fengyi took off the information card. This role has great limitations. He took it purely to give Xu Jia face.

"Then I'll play Zhao Dehan, a corrupt official. I haven't played that role before." Hou Yong said with a smile.

Xu Jia nodded and posted the photos of Zhang Fengyi and Hou Yong under their respective character names.

These two starred in the previous life. It seems that this is the inexplicable attraction between the characters and the actors.

Then all the veteran actors stepped forward and took away their favorite character cards.

These characters don't have many roles, which means their pay won't be too high.

The reason why I am willing to act is that if there are projects I want to produce in the future, I can find Jiaxing to invest, or if there are good projects, I can help them.

These veteran actors have basically reached the point where they act as investors and producers.

Look at which veteran actor suddenly comes out to film a movie and accepts an announcement to appear on a variety show. You don't have to think that there is a project that he plans to do himself.

Just like Chen Jianbing, he even accepted various reality shows in order to make his own movie.

Looking at the picture next to the character's name, Kong Sheng said he couldn't be more satisfied. He had never fought such a rich battle!

"Thank you all for your support. Let's go to Jiaxing Restaurant together later. If you have any questions now, you can ask Director Kong or the producer, or you can visit our company."

Xu Jia clasped his fists at everyone. He couldn't just drive people away after they revealed the cards.

It's called a visit, but in fact, there are no arrangements for them at the moment. If you have time later, you can have lunch together to continue to enhance your relationship. If you don't have time, you can find an excuse to leave first.

After all, no one expected that so many veteran actors would come, and they were not prepared at all.

These veteran actors are all good actors. When they heard Xu Jia's words, they didn't understand the meaning behind the words.

"It's okay, Mr. Xu, you are busy with your business. It's rare for us old guys to get together, so we can just chat among ourselves. You are busy with your business." Zhang Guoli said with a smile.

"That's what you mean. I'm quite interested in your company's production process. Let's take a look." Chen Jianbing followed.

He was really interested, and even though the movie he made had a good reputation, it even won an award.

But the box office results were mediocre, so he wanted to learn some commercial film skills from Jiaxing.

Don't think that these directors are determined to make art films and have no pursuit of box office.

That's pure fart.

These guys want as many viewers as possible. There is no classic movie in this world that is not watched by many people. Movies have been invented to entertain the public.

Including Jiang Wen, that guy made "The Devil Is Coming", which became a banned film and made investors almost lose their pants.

Later, when I filmed "Let the Bullets Fly," I was cast again, and that's when I turned around.

Why did "Let the Bullets Fly" become easy to understand? Even though Jiang Wen has endless desire to talk, he still packaged it up.

It’s just for the box office and to make money. If there is no profit, there will be no investors. This is a very realistic thing.

No matter art or anything else, it can never be separated from the gravity of matter.

After it was over, I was spoiled for the movie "One Step Away", which was a slap in the face at the box office.

She was arrogant, and it didn’t matter if no one understood her. She was just taking the photo for herself. In fact, she was filled with anger.

Later, when filming "The Righteous One", he still compromised and found Tianting Yan as the male lead. After that, he and Xu Qing even had an ambiguous plot.

Dare you say that there is no motive for box office considerations?

However, in Xu Jia's view, Chinese movie audiences are extremely tolerant of filmmakers.

Their request is simply to make a movie that they can understand and that is logically self-consistent.

There are so many fucking directors who can’t do this.

Prove what?

It proves that these bastards don’t regard the audience as human beings at all.

If you look down on the audience, the box office data will clearly give you feedback on what the consequences will be.

Let’s just say Chen Sicheng, the film he shot is really awesome?

In fact, no, I just grasp a little bit and shoot what the audience likes to see. I don’t touch on the audience’s interesting points at all.

It’s such a simple truth, but it’s the gap between director and director.
