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

"I understand that I am not that kind of cultural person. When I am a director, I actually want to make something that both myself and the audience can understand and like."

Dong Chengpeng had previously wondered whether his idea would appear too tacky in the film industry.

I never thought that it would play into Xu Jia's hands.

But think about it, someone who can produce a short play like "Diaosi Man" doesn't look like someone who will devote himself to art.

But one thing is that Dapeng was greatly influenced by "Diaosi Men".

Because of this vulgar joke, he has not been accepted by people in the film industry and is only regarded as a clownish clown.

"If you can realize this, you have achieved half of the requirements of a successful director, which is to put the needs of the audience first. Many directors and actors always feel that they are more talented than others, and this does not include cross talk. see it clearly."

"What is the audience? The actor's parents, even if they are fed by the country, are raised by the public's taxes. If they only want to please themselves instead of entertaining the public, then it runs counter to the original intention of the movie."

Xu Jia sneered at the views of some insiders, Wen Qing, saying that any movie that needs education and positive energy is not its attribute.

Since its birth, movies have only been produced to entertain the public.

Education and positive energy should be placed in the classroom instead of disciplining everyone everywhere.

Uncle Benshan said something that Xu Jia quite agreed with.

People have received a lot of education throughout the year. How about watching the Spring Festival Gala to relax and unwind?

It has to be like a taut string, and sooner or later it will collapse.

"By the way, I heard what you said just now, do you have someone in mind for the role of Hu Liang?" Xu Jia asked.

"I plan to let a friend of mine, Qiao Shan, play the role. He is the fat guy who always washes his feet in my previous skits. He still has some skills in comedy. If you have other arrangements, I can accept it."

Dong Chengpeng's heart skipped a beat, and he honestly explained his thoughts with a very low profile.

As long as he can be promised to invest in the film, even the role of the good brother can be given away, and even his own role is not impossible.

"That's not necessary. I rarely interfere in the production of projects here, especially those decided by you, unless they are not finalized or have obvious flaws."

Xu Jia waved his hand, there was no need to make trouble with Dapeng for such a role.

Even if the other party is forced to give up Hu Liang's role due to his own power, he will definitely feel unhappy.

This is normal. No one wants others to dictate their own affairs.

Dapeng is also a good person. He immediately realized what Xu Jia meant and said: "The other four roles have not been decided yet. Please see who is suitable and help arrange it. It will save me trouble."

In fact, even if Xu Jia really replaced Qiao Shan, he would not have any objections.

It's very simple. In his opinion, it's an honor for Xu Jia to be willing to give him guidance. Which of the projects that the latter has participated in has not been a great success?

This metaphysical theory is very popular in the industry, and Xu Jia himself is not sure about it.

"The bassist Ding Jianguo is set up to be a rebellious beauty. What do you think of Nazha playing the role?"

Xu Jia seemed to be asking a question, but in fact, what he said was a settled fact.

"The relationship is great, she is a real beauty, and as for the casting opinions you gave, I know they are absolutely reliable." Dong Chengpeng was thinking wildly in his mind about who Nazha was, and at the same time, he did not forget to praise Xu Jia.

After thinking about who Nazha was, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was not that famous, the role he gave her was not that big, and she was really beautiful.

After all, he was from a professional school and was not just a junior who was just thrown in by the management, so he was satisfied.

"Please give me your opinion on the other three candidates, so that I won't have to audition again." Dong Chengpeng said.

Miao Yuqing's eyes sparkled as she watched.

In the past, she might have dismissed the opponent's flattering skills, but now she says she wants to learn frame by frame.

Xu Jiamo stroked his chin. This movie is actually quite sincere. It takes dreams as the theme and the story is clear and concise. This meets the passing mark.

It's just that the lineup in the previous life was a bit different. After Dapeng left Sohu, his popularity in the film industry was average.

There is no way, "Pancake Man" has a high box office, but a bad reputation, and it has also touched the point of many filmmakers, that is, it is too vulgar.

It’s so commonplace that investors like Xu Jia, who value returns, don’t want to invest.

It's not that the money is too much, it's just that the money is too hot to hold.

Do you really think that the audience are all fools and have no memory at all for being fooled?

These are all debts owed and must be repaid.

"As for the drummer, let Li Xian play. For the guitar player, I'll hire teacher Wu Gang. For the keyboard player, the little girl will have to audition. I really don't have many candidates in this area."

"But for small roles in it, you can contact the company's contracted artists to make guest appearances."

Xu Jia clicked her fingers and decided on Li Xian and Wu Gang. Casting is also a skill, otherwise the crew would have a dedicated casting director.

There is even a dedicated casting studio.

Jiaxing artists are somewhat polarized. Those who are popular are either in the first tier, while those who are not popular are not even close to the second tier.

After picking and choosing, the only choices were Li Xian and Wu Gang. Li Xian had never made a movie before, so it was fitting that his first movie would be a part of his own project, so he could get used to it, and the former's acting skills were also adequate.

Teacher Wu Gang is just a snake oil. He can be used in any position. He doesn't mind how many roles he has. Either the role is good enough or the money is enough. In this respect, an experienced actor has much less worries than a young actor.

Of course, the last sentence is the most important condition given by Xu Jia.

Dapeng used it to find guest stars from the company's front-line artists. As long as the schedule was available, he would not refuse any of them.

Are you kidding me? Not to mention that Dapeng is a director who may be useful in the future. As far as the boss's orders are concerned, they cannot disobey them.

Xu Jia usually mingles with everyone, but that doesn't mean he really has no temper.

"Come on, I really don't know what to say. You have really helped me a lot. If I, Dapeng, don't repay my kindness in the future, I will be struck by lightning from heaven!" Dapeng said seriously.

No one present could react to this oath. The key was that nothing like this had ever happened before.

After all, people in the entertainment industry are quite reserved in their work. They like to take off their pants and fart when they are a little bit literary. How can they be so direct like Dapeng, who was born as a disciple of Uncle Benshan, and express his loyalty so directly.

Some people may find it embarrassing, and the flattery is too obvious. In fact, as long as this trick has a face, it works better than anything else.

Reality can only be more exaggerated than art.

Leaders have limited energy and have no time to pay attention to your little actions. If they don't obey on the surface, how can they really follow you?

Xu Jia raised the corners of his mouth and stretched out his hand.

Dapeng bent down in time so that Xu Jia's hands could be placed more easily on his shoulders.

"After the movie is made, your name will always be in the film and director circles in the future." Xu Jia patted Dapeng on the shoulder and smiled.

The latter's waist was lower, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn upward.
