Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 270: Alternative Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Industry (5)
The two discussed for a long time and finally decided on three pretty good variety shows.
Why did they decide? That’s because these people don’t have the ability to appear on variety shows. Tang Yuan does have connections, but her reputation has been completely blackened. Now no one is willing to take her along. She is counting on this show to make a comeback.
Shen Yao and Director Zheng might as well send the Buddha to the west. They have already come this far, and considering that they have another movie to shoot later, it would be better to let Tang Yuan and others take the lead to test the waters for them, so as to avoid sending someone else who is a novice later.
Well, in a sense, Tang Yuan and the others are just a few guinea pigs, the kind that come to you willingly.
"That's how it is. All of you should prepare in private, and then make the trip some time."
Because it was a promotion for a new drama, Shen Yao contacted each of them privately.
Because Shen Yao had a new drama to shoot, everyone was curious about whether they could join the crew and shoot for a while.
Shen Yao:...Hmm?
Blinking, Shen Yao suddenly realized that only a few months had passed from the end of the previous play to the beginning of this one.
These people are not famous people, so it is extremely difficult for them to get a role. So, based on the good cooperation, it seems reasonable for them to continue to rely on Shen Yao to find work for themselves.
With one hand patting his head, Shen Yao simply nodded and agreed with a smile.
It would be a waste to not use it. Even though there is no news about her new drama yet, she is a potential hit and it would be great to play a minor role in her.
Shen Yao is not the kind of person who is stubborn, and there is no conflict of interest between the two parties. Giving each other some face will be beneficial in the future.
That’s right, that palace fighting drama might not be easy to shoot!
Director Zheng felt that palace fighting dramas should not be filmed too crudely, especially this drama which became more and more interesting the more he watched it. However, with their money, they cannot hire any well-known actors at the moment, and even their funds are barely enough to form a team like Tang Yuan.
"Director Zheng, let's change a play. Let's put this one on hold until the money from "Smoke and Willow" comes in. Then we can start casting and preparing for filming. By then, there won't be a big gap in funds, and you will have a wider range of candidates."
For example, if you hire someone to play a master, the choice between Zhang San and Zhang Sanfeng can be decided at a glance.
Shen Yao gave Director Zheng a lot of space and recognition in filming. Director Zheng naturally could not let Shen Yao down, as she was his favorite type of investor.
“Okay, let’s put this drama on hold for now, and I’ll let the screenwriter continue to polish the script.
We can shoot another ancient Chinese drama. Didn’t Mr. Shen say that Tang Yuan and the others are willing to come back to play a few minor supporting roles, arranged as special appearances? We can also use the momentum of the hit drama to boost their popularity.
Of course, the other party will not suffer any loss by doing this. The ancient and refreshing novel selected by Director Zheng emphasizes the word "refreshing", and the characters he chooses are all the types that are likable and attract fans.
Once you become famous in the circle, you will have high requirements when it comes to getting roles.
Director Zheng knows these savvy people in the entertainment industry better than Shen Yao does. This is a win-win situation, and he will definitely make this matter a success.
Shen Yao believes in Director Zheng's skills. After all, he is a director who has made many movies (although not many of them are outstanding), and he will definitely use the resources when he gets them.
"Just do what you think is right. For casting, you can follow the standards of the previous play and save as much as possible, but don't go too far against the principles."
Even if they use out-of-date celebrities, as long as the blackened content does not violate public order and good morals, Shen Yao doesn't mind helping to clear it up, and she can save some money.
But if they really make a mistake and get criticized, then we can only say that they are not destined to be like that, even the bottom line in the entertainment industry is relatively low.
Director Zheng said, "Don't worry, is he the kind of director who cheats people?" There is another good palace drama coming up.
Patting his chest and assuring that this matter would be done beautifully, Director Zheng turned around and plunged into the crew. Some of the agreed makeup and styling did not need to be changed drastically. If they were all ancient scenes, there would be no problem with simple use. However, other aspects had to be re-selected, and he needed to find people to communicate and arrange them. It was really a sweet burden.
……
"Sister Tang, we are here. We will present this today, and there are two more scheduled for tomorrow. There is also a smaller press conference to be held later. It is hosted by the Goose Goose website. We have to give them face."
The drama was broadcast on the Goose website. Tang Yuan also knew the reputation of the Goose website and did not dare to offend it at all.
She pinched her wrist anxiously. She was unusually nervous. After all, since the accident, she had taken the initiative to reduce the number of times she appeared in public.
Moreover, these days, not only Shen Yao is using her affairs to hype up, she also has people doing things in private, hoping to involve a few of her former rivals in order to use the popularity to promote the show.
"Hey, let's take a car over there. I heard that Director Zheng is helping out with this variety show. It would be hard to avoid being uncomfortable without someone familiar to help."
Director Zheng is always in the business of being a director or producer. He was not afraid of Tang Yuanzheng when she was at the top of her game, but now she is out of fashion, so she'd better behave herself and not cause trouble.
The nanny car quickly arrived at the variety show recording site. This was an indoor variety show, recorded in a studio, and the place they arrived was outside the TV station.
It was an unfortunate coincidence that they came here today as they had appointments with other people from different crews. There was a dense crowd of fans surrounding them outside, and Tang Yuan felt envious just by looking at them.
Alas, if she hadn't been out of fashion, she wouldn't be in such a miserable situation now. Even when she personally came out to promote her products, no one supported her. The entertainment industry is really realistic. If she can't become popular again, her situation will only get worse and worse.
Just thinking about that scene, Tang Yuan couldn't accept it, not to mention that she herself was unwilling to retire from the entertainment industry and live an ordinary life.
After getting off the car, Tang Yuan looked sweet and lovely in her sparkling outfit.
After greeting the leading actor Zhang Ting and nodding to several other supporting actors and actresses, they went into the recording studio and waited for news.
Apart from the third male lead Li Rao, who is a college student and has no agency and relies entirely on himself, the others have agents. For example, Tang Yuan also has an assistant driver when he goes out.
The assistant does the errands, the agent takes care of the communication, and Tang Yuan is only responsible for completing the recording of the program and doesn't care about anything else.
It was also the recording over the past few days that allowed these people to see what it means that different people have different treatments.
"Look, that's the popular actor from Yaoyang Film and Television. He has a new drama coming out soon, and everyone in the company, including the crew, is praising him."
"And the guy next door, don't be fooled by his poor background, just because he has a studio, but he has a wealthy sponsor behind him, who has invested more than half of the money in several dramas. Otherwise, how could he play those important roles and have veteran movie queens and movie kings to play with him."
"..."
In his spare time, Tang Yuan would occasionally take these newcomers out to see the world, but most of the time, they would just rest on their own.
The relationship wasn't a very good one to begin with, and there were frictions within the crew, but this time everyone was tied to the show, and they could only benefit if the show became popular.
Interests bring them together, but this is a temporary behavior. In the end, they will still disperse due to various excuses.
Shen Yao currently has no time to take care of them. As an investor and producer, her daily life is busier than that of a celebrity, especially since she has to invest to make money.
Zhou Dan, who is in charge of the distribution of this drama, has drawn up a table that contains some of the follow-up publicity arrangements for "Smoke and Willows".
Shen Yao nodded with satisfaction, "X Weibo will cooperate with you to stir up the heat, but this drama needs real money in the early stage." Even if the wine is good, it will be afraid of being hidden in the alley. What if other people are blind? Although tap water is good, it still needs water army.
Shen Yao was planning in her mind when to contribute, such as buying the headlines of x blog and hiring people to post on some good forum websites.
It would be better if it could be connected to the plot, and once it gradually gets on the right track, they can let it go and leave it to the fans instead of continuing to control the situation and spend money on hype.
The plot and characters complement each other. Only when the drama becomes popular can the actors in it become famous.
After finishing the call with Zhou Dan, Shen Yao continued to contact the agents of several leading actors, brought up the relevant topic euphemistically and then left it alone.
Anyway, how much benefit they can reap from this drama in the future depends on their own abilities. The road has been paved, and it is entirely up to them to walk on it or not.
tick-
The phone was hung up again, Shen Yao turned on the computer and started typing.
She is thinking about what to do next. Theoretically, once this film becomes a hit, her palace fighting dramas may no longer be ignored.
But at the same time, if a palace fighting drama is to be staged, someone will definitely come along to reap the benefits.
You have to know that it is really easy to make money in the entertainment industry. You can make a lot of money by filming a movie. Who wouldn’t be envious and want to take a bite?
Shen Yao pursed her lips, planning to get some investment sponsorship for herself if possible.
After knocking down a few pretty good names, Shen Yao planned to send the information to the other party's email in the next few days and wait for notification. She didn't have any results yet, so she had to keep a calm mind, as it was likely that she would not get much money.
"Ms. Shen, please prepare the information. Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, on the tenth floor of Tianhai Building."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I will definitely be there."
Shen Yao got up early, changed into a neat suit, tied her loose hair into a high ponytail, and put on beautiful makeup.
Shen Yao chose the most imposing color of lipstick, picked up the file bag, and drove directly out.
The car was sponsored by her biological father Shen Jinshan. It was a second-hand car that was seldom used in the family and was used for Shen Yao to run errands on a regular basis.
Fortunately, Shen Yao is in the start-up stage and is not very picky about this.
Shen Yao drove all the way to the building she rented as an office. She took the elevator to the fifth floor. There were less than ten people in Xingxing Film and Television, all of them sitting at their workstations, busy with their own work.
Their drama is about to be released. They have invested millions in this drama and they cannot afford to lose money, otherwise the subsequent projects will have to be put on hold.
The person in charge of Xingxing Film and Television came to Shen Yao and reported some of his arrangements in a low voice.
These are all plans and programs for promoting "Smoke and Willow". In addition, the new drama prepared by Director Zheng has also successfully cast its actors.
This time it’s not that the heroine has a dark history, it’s that the hero is a bit of a vase.
However, it is easier for men to get along in the entertainment industry than women (men also have more advantages than women in society), and even a vase has many fans, although more fans have stopped being fans early because of their poor acting skills and bad temper.
"Boss Shen, Director Zheng said this guy has some talent, and his agent and agency are willing to support him. He didn't pay much attention to the salary when signing with us this time."
The person in charge is named Ma Qingjian and is a qualified worker.
The price Shen Yao offered to hire her was a salary that no one else could match even if they were combined together.
"I didn't care about the salary, I came here for the drama and Director Zheng," Shen Yao felt that this person was asking for too much, and if it didn't work out, he would blame them.
Although filming a movie requires mutual consent, many people are replaced at short notice. The only thing they can blame is that the capital behind them is not strong enough.
Ma Qing said in a serious tone, "It doesn't matter who they come for, it doesn't affect our ability to take advantage of it.
What's more, Director Zhou has already considered purchasing Director Zheng's play.
Because "The Story of the Willows" has yet to be released to see its effect, I think it is too early to say this now, so I politely declined Director Zhou's offer."
Anyone who is not stupid on the Goose Goose website can understand that "Smoke and Willow" is not a bad movie. Even if it doesn't become a huge hit after it is broadcast, it can at least become a small hit.
With this reassurance, E-E- website will definitely buy Director Zheng's next few films, but they are not worried about selling them. Business is business, and the highest bidder wins.
Shen Yao smiled and said, "Well done. Let's see the effect of "Smoke and Willow" first. We can't let Director Zhou suffer any loss." The main thing is that we can't let them lose money.
Ma Qingjian also had the same idea. As long as they shot the plot well, they would have no worries about sales.
Nowadays, there are more than five big websites in China, and the Goose website is just one of them. If they make money from "Smoke and Willow", then they can take the opportunity to contact other websites for the next play.
After comparing the three companies, they finally choose the most suitable price to sell the web drama, and then they just have to wait to collect the money.
"I have an appointment this afternoon. You will be responsible for arranging other things later. If you can't make a decision, call me."
Shen Yao doesn't just have an appointment at Tianhai Building, she has to go to several places, although the possibility is not high.
After a few brief words with Ma Qingjian, Shen Yao buried her head in finishing the work she had on hand, then went downstairs and left.
She was busy every day when she opened her eyes, and until she finished visiting the places she had agreed to visit, Shen Yao finally only got an angel investment of no more than 500,000 yuan.
This is because "Smoke and Willow" is about to be released and it is in the prime time of the Goose Goose website. After all, there are so many TV series and movies that have failed in the circle, who would dare to come up and spend hundreds of millions of dollars.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao was busy for a long time but gained almost nothing. But fortunately she was not in a hurry because "Smoke and Willow" would be officially launched on the Goose Goose website at 8 o'clock tomorrow.
Wow
After all her hard work, her first web drama is finally able to meet the audience, which is cause for celebration.
There has been a splash on x Weibo because of Tang Yuan's rehashing of old stuff and the hot searches they bought themselves. No matter whether it's criticism or praise, anyway, their drama will not go silent, and I believe the comments on tomorrow's episode will be exciting.
