ideal entertainment circle

The pie is a must.

People have delivered it to your mouth, whoever doesn't eat it is stupid.

Chu Qiu is not stupid, he also thinks he is quite clever.

But to eat this cake, you still have to get the consent of the person who made the cake.

Chu Qiu took advantage of the fact that there were still a few days before the official auction of the first broadcast rights of "Wen Hao", whenever he had time, he squatted in the corner thinking about the audition clips and characters.

When Director Adams said that there would be an Asian character and gave a rough description of his identity and background, Chu Qiu had a good idea. Chu Qiu had seen the "A" series. Before he was reborn, this series Has developed to the fourth part.

This series in the previous life was also a well-known international IP. Every movie was a hit at the box office, and the word-of-mouth was just a decent popcorn movie. The audience felt refreshed after watching it.

But compared to the famous series directed by Adams, "A" is a bit too standard, except for the special effects that won a certain Golden Man Award, there is nothing special about it.

Even so, for Chu Qiu who wants to set foot on the international movie screen, this work is enough.

Originally, Chu Qiu thought so, but when he actually got the role, he found that he still took it for granted.

What is there to say?

History always moves forward.

With Adams' keen sense of business, how could he not make corresponding changes after digging out the consumption potential of the domestic film market?

At least in the trial script that Chu Qiu got, the character card is completely different from the Asian character in the second part of the "A" series that he remembered.

It should be said that the only thing in common is that the slave escaped and met the protagonist.

In the original "A" series, the role of the Asian actor was at the beginning of the Colosseum and after meeting the protagonist, explaining the system and history of this planet, becoming friends with the protagonist, and they went through two together. After the accident, he was arrested and executed, in order to stimulate the conflict between the protagonist and the natives of this planet.

Movies in country M emphasize that human rights and freedom are politically correct, and popcorn commercial movies are good enough, so although this series of movies are occasionally criticized in China for violating the political and political sovereignty of other countries, they are always It is a commercial film that is forgotten after watching, and it has not been taken too seriously.

But now, the character cards and scripts in Chu Qiu's hands have completely changed.

Judging from the character card and script that Chu Qiu got, the characters have been deepened a lot, the background has been refined, and the subsequent revelations are also full of attraction.

Getting rid of his impression of the series in the previous life, this almost completely changed the main line of the story in his impression, and went straight to develop in another direction.

Although I know that Hollywood directors are always used to digging a hole for the second film to make a series at any time when making the first film, but judging from the notebook in his hand, the hole is really a bit big.

It's all directly related to the main line of the series, okay?

Can this be moved at will!

Even though it is very clear that this kind of series of movies without original works usually starts to prepare for the screenwriter after deciding to make a sequel, Chu Qiu, who has already conceived the character model based on the memory of his previous life, still feels a little disturbed.

Re-building characters is a very exhausting thing, especially when overthrowing all the characters that have been built and forgetting to redo them.

Chu Qiu always needs to find a lot of references and materials, centering on scripts and character cards, to build characters.

In the past few days, Chu Qiu habitually finds a small corner to squat every day, holding his mobile phone and notebook, while reading the collected materials, while holding a pen and notebook to record key words.

A small person with a great mission, unwilling to succumb to fate, and constantly struggling to climb forward.

Chu Qiu has acted in such a role before, but the acting method in Asia is still quite different from Hollywood, and Chu Qiu has to make a lot of detailed changes.

Mr. Qi discovered that when he parked his car and went to the program group or the event venue, he often saw the staff all over the place looking for Chu Qiu.

But Chu Qiu was actually squatting behind a certain shelter, sitting or squatting, in a group, with almost zero sense of existence.

Qi Tianrui had no choice but to rush Chu Qiu out of all kinds of cramped corners again and again, so as not to delay his work.

Fortunately, the audition shots were not as demanding as during the official shooting. Before "Wen Hao" officially entered the big publicity, Chu Qiu shot the shots and sent them to the director on the other side of the ocean.

And "Wen Hao", at a price of 450 million yuan per episode, sold the TV premiere rights to South and North Satellite TV, and the online exclusive broadcast rights were once again bought by the rich and powerful Lizi platform at a price of 900 million yuan per episode, which completely ended the show. Money fights.

Director Wei couldn't help but smile because of the price. Although the network broadcast was taken down and the exclusive broadcasting rights cannot be sold to continue the second round of broadcasting, the sale of the online exclusive broadcasting will also affect the second round of broadcasting on TV. price, but it can't stand the high price of the exclusive broadcast and premiere rights!

There are a total of 36 episodes of the series, and the first broadcast rights of the TV alone have already returned the initial investment!

After deducting the cost of post-publicity for the money from the exclusive broadcast rights on the Internet, the rest is basically pure profit!

As for the subsequent second and third rounds of broadcasting rights, although the price will be reduced to a certain extent, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are meat!

Director Wei was fidgeting about the accounts in his heart, almost a smile appeared on his face.

Compared with Chu Qiu, who doesn't care much about the outside world's opinions, as a director, Director Wei doesn't care about eating melons and watching movies on weekdays, but when he has a movie in his hand, he naturally needs to have a clear grasp of the direction of the outside world.

He certainly didn't know that the price this time had something to do with the outside world's speculation about Chu Qiu's future direction.

As an actor who has been hotly discussed recently, he won an international film award without saying a word while taking over the filming of two TV series.

And as the first screen work that he appeared in front of the audience in a serious way, except for the public service advertisement, it is a movie.

Coupled with the recent news that the "A" series will be produced, and Chu Qiu has clearly stated in the program that there is a verbal agreement to audition, so the outside world has reason to believe that after Chu Qiu has enough enthusiasm, Choose to abandon TV dramas and completely transform into movie cafes.

This young man's starting point is too high and he is moving too fast.

The public expects him to make more and better achievements, and continue to stride forward with their sustenance and ambition.

The media, on the other hand, wanted him to achieve results more urgently than the public—if he didn't achieve results, it would be great to make some big news.

Now that there is no big news, they chose to draw a blueprint for Chu Qiu without authorization, such as completely transforming into a movie star, such as participating in the second part of "A", or bragging about the achievements of "Wenhao".

If you want to brag, it's natural to blow it up. These media don't care whether people can achieve this result. Anyway, if the popularity reaches it, and the performance is achieved, who cares about the life and death of the master?

As for this kind of mindless bragging, the public relations team has a tacit understanding with the media, and they don't care about it. After all, no one will think that they are too popular.

"Wenhao" took advantage of this shareholder wind and sold for a good price.

Who is this price owed to, and where did it come from? Director Wei is naturally clear about it.

For the subsequent publicity, Chu Qiu was still the main force.

The external speculation about Chu Qiu's transformation, Director Wei thinks it is not unreasonable. After all, TV dramas earn less money and are time-consuming. Although they can gain popularity, for the film and television circles around the world today, the status of TV dramas is higher than that of TV dramas. Movies are lower.

Chu Qiu is a person who is already qualified to go to the international stage, and it is not difficult to speculate that he will only make movies in the future.

Although intellectually, it was a matter of course, but emotionally, Director Wei felt more or less a pity.

He simply pulled Chu Qiu backstage at the beginning of the first wave of publicity, and asked him, "Xiao Qiu, are you going to follow the path of movies from now on?"

Chu Qiu was taken aback, shook his head, and said, "Read the book."

The purpose of his acting, on the one hand, is enthusiasm and work, and on the other hand, is to give back to fans.

For fans who really like him, how can only movies be enough?

Movies are not as good as TV shows, and Chu Qiu is not the kind of person who particularly likes to go to shows.

In the past two years, he has had a lot of shows in order to increase his popularity.And after the filming of "Wenhao", Chu Qiu's program announcements were significantly reduced, and now the large-scale broadcasts on TV and the Internet are all stock that Chu Qiu recorded some time ago.

It is foreseeable that after the promotion and broadcast of "Wen Hao" is over, and before his new work comes out, the frequency of Chu Qiu's appearance in front of the audience will plummet.

As for how to maintain the enthusiasm during this period, it depends on the arrangement of Chu Qiu's team.

Director Wei was relieved when he heard Chu Qiu say that he didn't pick genres and only read books, but at the same time felt that it was inappropriate for him to do so.

Young people now have a bright future, so why spend their youthful lives on TV dramas?

Director Wei wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to say it.

Indeed, as some media said, this young man walked so fast that those who have struggled in the industry for more than ten or twenty years can only see his back.

Director Wei thought of Chu Qiu's age and his achievements, and compared himself with himself, feeling sad for a while.

He hesitated to speak for a long while, wanting to say something as someone who has experienced it like when he first met Chu Qiu, but felt that he no longer had the qualifications.

"Make more movies." He finally said that, then patted Chu Qiu's shoulder, stood up and left the dressing room.

When Director Wei pushed the door to leave, Qi Tianrui happened to push the door and enter.

Director Wei was taken aback for a moment, watching Qi Tianrui take a step back to let the door open, and suddenly sighed.

"The young people nowadays are really amazing." He said, and walked out the door slowly.

After entering the door, Qi Tianrui sat down beside Chu Qiu, "What's wrong with Director Wei? Sudden mid-life crisis?"

"Yes." Chu Qiu responded, "He asked me to make more movies."

"Oh..." Qi Tianrui seemed to understand something, but he didn't say much.

Big waves wash away the sand, and the alternation of the times is an unstoppable wave.

In the years when the international door was officially opened to Chinese film and television, the naked competition and the struggle for strength in the industry became more cruel.

Good works naturally have audiences willing to pay the bill. Once someone pays the bill, the crew will be less and less controlled by capital interference. Apart from the interference of capital, the ability of the main creator is particularly important.

The main creator who is not enough to get the support of the audience has to bow to the capital, and even with the support of large investment and market traffic, the main creator who has been interfered with self-creation will be constrained, and the audience is not blind. How about enduring bad movies?

Investors are not stupid, and they are the ones who have the keenest sense of money. Gradually, those teams that are not enough to make the audience take out their wallets leave this circle sadly.

Someone once called those years "the harshest winter before the dawn", during which countless practitioners with insufficient ability or just bad luck were eliminated. They were like gravel ruthlessly abandoned by time. In the past, it disappeared without a sound.

If Director Wei didn't have the awareness to fight with all his strength in the coming severe winter, he would also become one of those grits.

"Let's not talk about that." Qi Tianrui sat across from Chu Qiu with a smile on his face, with his right hand hidden behind his back, "A piece of good news, guess what."

"Huh?" Chu Qiu was dumbfounded.

Qi Tianrui stretched out his left hand and rubbed Chu Qiu's head, "Guess."

Chu Qiu thought for a while and asked, "Is the time for "Wenhao" fixed?"

"It's better than this." Qi Tianrui said.

Chu Qiu thought for another two seconds: "Did Xingxing win the prize?"

Qi Tianrui shook his head: "He just finished the filming."

"Uh..." Chu Qiu frowned slightly, feeling a little distressed.

"Forget it." Qi Tianrui sighed, and with his right hand behind his back, he took out a stack of A4 papers, with some clauses densely written on it, "Qing Qiang Qiang! The first draft of the "A2" contract!"

"Congratulations to us Qiu! You passed the audition!"

The author has something to say: Zhou Yixing: This milk!I accept it! !
