light and shadow [entertainment circle]

As a newcomer actor who became popular in a hit, theoretically, after the release of "Yunchuan Series III: The Azure Dragon Jue", he should be busy shooting new movies or participating in various commercial performances and variety shows, etc., to reheat his popularity One wave, to consolidate his position among fans.

However, when it came to Kou Jun and Xia Zhi, something went wrong again.The contract Kou Jun signed with Guangying was not an artist contract. After "Blue Dragon Jue" was released, he had nothing to do with Guangying. The olive branch from the company is not interesting.

As for Xia Zhi, he said: "I want to be a top actor, not a top star." Then, he turned down all commercial activities without blinking.

As Xia Zhi's manager, Li Zhiyi almost vomited blood. "Xia Zhi, that's not how the entertainment industry works!"

At this time, Guan Shan, Tang Chi, Xia Zhi, and Li Zhiyi were sitting in Guan Shan's office. Seeing Li Zhiyi's cheeks flushed and angry, Guan Shan couldn't help but straighten his body and prepare to explain. "old……"

Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, Xia Zhi calmly stated: "Uncle Li, I said that I'm not interested in commercials or variety shows." After a pause, he added another sentence in a puzzled manner. "Back when Zhang Jun became popular with Fu Xuanjun, he wanted to accept advertisements for variety shows. Didn't Uncle Li stop him?"

"Is Zhang Jun worthy of being compared with you?" Li Zhiyi stared at Xia Zhi's handsome face with a heartbroken look on his face. "The box office of "Enchanted 2", released at the end of last year, was only [-] million, and the critics were full of criticism. Once "Blue Dragon Jue" was released, he lost even the slightest momentum. Xia Zhi, you need to have a clear understanding of your own popularity That’s right! Besides, Zhang Jun was not allowed to accept the reality show back then because of his low emotional intelligence and bad temper. Even if the reality show had a script, he would inevitably offend his peers and be exposed to scandal. But you don’t have such troubles!” After finishing the education with earnestness At the summer solstice, Li Zhiyi turned to Guanshan again. "Mr. Guan, no matter what, Xia Zhi has already entered the entertainment industry. Letting him have limited contact with fans and the public will only benefit him and not harm him. You really can no longer control him like before. The studio and the family are two-point line. This is not acceptable!"

"actually……"

"It's also my idea not to hold a fan meeting." General Guan Shan spit out two words, and Xia Zhi cut off the topic again. "The popularity gained from a role is too false. The most important thing for an actor is to have works to prove himself. I don't think it's time for me to show off."

"My God!" Li Zhiyi almost wanted to cry, "Xia Zhi, do you understand that this is the Internet age? The Internet age! Popularity is real money, do you understand it?"

"everyone is……"

"I'm not short of money!" Guan Shan struggled to get back the topic, but Xia Zhi resolutely refused to give him this chance. "Does Uncle Li want me to rely on the popularity of the character Yun Zhan to become an Internet celebrity? Make money from the fan economy?" He shook his head disdainfully, "I don't intend to make quick money, my goal is to have the most box office in China." Worthy actor. Accepting commercials and watching variety shows are exciting, but what good is it for me? It’s just a little endorsement fee and appearance fee. And the rewards I get, after all, aren’t they collected from my fans? Wool Why bother to lose money and help others earn? In this case, instead of helping others to stand on the stage, it is better to help me stand on the stage. I will shoot the tricks well, so that the audience will not regret buying tickets and entering the arena. This is the best for them. Nice return."

Xia Zhi didn't fully explain what he said, but everyone present understood what he meant.Although Xia Zhi takes commercials and puts on variety shows, it is also profitable, but in the end, it is others who take the lead, and Light and Shadow and Xia Zhi take the small ones.The actor Xia Zhi may be very concerned about this small profit, but Xia Zhi, one of the bosses of Light and Shadow, really doesn't pay attention to it.On the contrary, as the saying goes, what is rare is the most expensive, if fans want to see the summer solstice, the only way to go to the cinema, then as long as the quality of the movie is not too rubbish, the biggest winners must still be the summer solstice and light and shadow.

Li Zhiyi was silent for a long time, and only then did he understand the inextricable relationship between Xia Zhi and light and shadow.I saw him casually throwing a stack of second-tier advertisement invitations and variety show invitations into the trash can, and asked seriously: "It doesn't matter whether these second-tier and third-tier advertisements are accepted or not, and variety shows can also be suspended temporarily. I asked You, in the future you will be very popular, if a blue blood brand comes to your door to endorse you, will you accept it?"

"No!" Xia Zhi resolutely said.Although Guan Shan has strictly prohibited him from surfing the Internet during this period of time, everyone knows that it is very difficult to manage a teenager with Internet addiction.After watching a lot of big dramas with fans and gangsters, Xia Zhi concluded that besides tearing up the role of fans, what fans love most is tearing up endorsements and rewards. After all, the stakes are high.Xia Zhi is pure in nature, he doesn't like this kind of atmosphere, the best way he can think of to deal with it is to never touch his hands.

"It depends on the specific situation." Unexpectedly, Guan Shan finally got the right to speak, and immediately expressed a different position.

"Brother Shan!" Xia Zhi frowned dissatisfied.

Guan Shan, however, gave him a peaceful look, and said slowly: "Luxuries should be sold at the price of luxury goods, and you should not lower your status." It doesn't matter if you accept it; but if it's someone who makes a corner of the card, then you don't have to talk about it.

Hearing this, Li Zhiyi turned his head to look at Xia Zhi again.Compared with her appearance in "Blue Dragon Jue", after more than half a year, Xia Zhi has obviously grown a little longer.The cat-like peach eyes are now slightly narrow and long, and the delicate and round face also shows sharp lines. In addition to his height and strong muscles, it is obvious that his temperament is gradually refining from the handsome and harmless "cute" For the handsome and resolute "Su".But whether it is Meng or Su, he is dazzling and touching.This kind of stunning beauty has always been out of print, which can only be met but not sought after.Who can say that he is not a luxury?

Li Zhiyi pulled his gaze back and couldn't help but sighed.The entertainment industry is indeed full of beauties, and if there are too many, they are worthless.Most of the small fresh meats that are legitimate in the entertainment circle these days are fast-moving consumer goods, and they have to stop eating after three to five years after being popular.Xia Zhi is different, he wants to take the route of high-end luxury goods, and he also has the capital to go this way.However, this road has always been hell mode.It's so difficult that in the century-old film industry, there are only a few international superstars in the film industry in ancient and modern China and abroad. "This road is difficult, summer solstice. Weather, location, and harmony are indispensable."

"If you're not bold in setting goals, when will you be bold?" Guan Shan held Xia Zhi's hand and sighed softly. "There is a long way to go. Xia Zhi is working hard, and Brother Shan will definitely work hard." Guan Shan knows that a true international superstar cannot be achieved by relying on trolls or endorsements. What Xia Zhi really needs is classic works of his stature.

Noticing that Guan Shan and Xia Zhi looked at each other and smiled as if no one else was around, Li Zhiyi really had the urge to poke his eyes.On the contrary, Tang Chi has been tested for a long time, and he has long been used to it. "Old Li, you also said that this is the Internet age. It is easy to create an anonymous person through the Internet, let alone Xia Zhi? Although Xia Zhi does not accept commercial performances, how can he maintain his exposure and prevent the public from forgetting him? , isn't it your responsibility?"

Li Zhiyi turned his head to think for a moment, then Fang nodded and said, "Let me think it over and write a proposal for Mr. Guan and Mr. Tang to review." The more you can't ask for it, the more it will be unforgettable and cherished in every possible way.Having talked about the positioning of the summer solstice in the future, Li Zhiyi couldn't help worrying about the next arrangement of the summer solstice. "Is the summer solstice starting soon? How will you arrange work in the future?"

Speaking of this, Guan Shan couldn't help sighing again. "I've already gone through the formalities at school, and Xia Zhi will continue to accept online classes in the future." Back then, Xia Zhi only made a cameo appearance in "The Birth of the Demon World" for a few dozen seconds before causing trouble in high school.Now that he has become popular because of the "Blue Dragon Jue", what kind of grand occasion will be unprecedented in the university, Guan Shan really dare not imagine.Therefore, not long after "Blue Dragon Tale" was released, he had the foresight to meet with the principal of Luming University, and completed the online teaching procedures for Xia Zhi.

"Great!" Xia Zhi was still a little depressed because of this matter, but Li Zhiyi almost jumped up when he heard this. "In this way, the time arrangement can be much more flexible! Yuan Zong only mentioned to me a few days ago that he would continue filming Yunchuan IV..."

Before Li Zhiyi finished speaking, Guan Shan and Tang Chi looked at each other and shook their heads tacitly.

"The Yunchuan series can only be filmed for at least two years. This is a rule set early in the morning." Guan Shan said.

"Yuan Zong's filming work has been planned for this year, and Yunchuansi will start preparations next year at the earliest." Tang Chi added.

"What about the summer solstice?" Li Zhiyi asked again.Guangying's work plan for this year was decided last year. At that time, he did not consider the work arrangement for the summer solstice.

Guan Shan threw out another big news. "An Ruilin just contacted me two days ago and asked me to take Xia Zhi to meet him."

When the word An Ruilin was mentioned, Li Zhiyi immediately sat upright.

An Ruilin, a well-deserved first-line director in China, is especially good at directing modern urban films to show the joys and sorrows of small people, and historical biopics to create family trees for emperors and generals.At the same time, as a successful director, An Ruilin is not only proficient in directing work, but also has a solid foundation in writing and revising scripts.In the current environment where China's film industry has not yet matured, a director like An Ruilin who has both mastered writing and directing is obviously far more enjoyable than a director like Yuan Zong who is seriously biased.In the past years, the film industry of the entire Huaxia Kingdom has survived almost a full ten years under An Ruilin's domination.Ten years later, with the rise of Internet culture, fan films have hit the original film market in a big way, and the entire film industry has almost been reshuffled.At that time, the two annual blockbuster films directed by An Ruilin, invested by Darui, failed disastrously at the box office because the themes were too serious and did not meet the popular relaxed and funny movie-watching tastes.

After that, in order to reshape his "golden body" as a first-line director, An Ruilin personally wrote a set of scripts - "Kai Tang".The script was written from the chaos of the Sui Dynasty to the change of Xuanwu Gate, and it is planned to make five series of films.In all fairness, the script of "Kai Tang" is really well written. The characters in it are deeply moving, and the plot connection and scene description are also fascinating.If there is a good cooperation team to successfully shoot the film, the "Kai Tang" series will definitely be recorded in the film history of China.However, the Huaxia Kingdom has a long history, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin is also one of the Ming emperors who are loved by the masses.His life experience has long been treasured by Chinese people.Asking them to spend two to three years insisting on going to the cinema to watch five movies is simply an impossible task.Let's not talk about the quality of the film, I'm afraid that by the time the third and fourth parts are launched, the audience will have long forgotten the plots of the first two parts.So, five movies released together?Even if Darui is not afraid of annihilating the whole army, which movie theater would agree?On the one hand, there is no market benefit for the high-ranking and few, and on the other hand, An Ruilin insisted on filming. Da Rui had a complete falling out with An Ruilin two years ago.

"I have been in contact with An Ruilin for two years, and he has never let go. This time he took the initiative to ask to see Xia Zhi, I think, the hope is great!" Speaking of An Ruilin, Guan Shan was obviously refreshed.He knew very well that for a great director like An Ruilin, even if he stopped filming, he would definitely be worth offering up as a statue!As long as this cooperation between Guangying and An Ruilin can be facilitated, it will not be difficult to invite domestic first-line stars to accept the script of Guangying in the future.

However, Li Zhiyi quickly changed his constipated face after expressing his feelings of "respect" to An Ruilin. "Mr. Guan, you want to shoot "Kai Tang"? Have you considered it clearly?" With An Ruilin's status in the world, Li Zhiyi naturally knows his movements.Two years ago, An Ruilin left Darui for the script of "Kai Tang". In the past two years, many film and television companies in China have contacted him and invited him to participate in the production.But no matter which company, An Ruilin has only one request: to shoot "Kai Tang", so he has been living here until now.

"I've thought about it clearly." Guan Shan replied solemnly, "I've read the script a long time ago, and it's indeed very good. An Ruilin said that this script was his painstaking efforts for several years and half his life. I don't think it's exaggerating."

"But..." Li Zhiyi didn't want to watch Guan Shan die.The five series of movies with the theme of history have made it clear whether they are popular or not.As for An Ruilin's move, the investment scale was too small for him to look down on him.Isn't this going to kill Guangying?

"Old Li, our plan for filming "Kai Tang" is to make a TV movie, focusing on TV stations and the secondary market." Seeing this, Tang Chi hurriedly explained.

The themes of TV movies originated in the United States, and they are films specially shot for TV broadcasting. Their characteristics are: low investment, low risk, and short production cycle.Guan Shan has been in contact with An Ruilin since the very beginning, and has suggested that he shoot the script of "Kai Tang" into a five-episode TV movie, with an average duration of each episode of about 2-2.5 hours.Of course, to show sincerity, Guangying Pictures is absolutely willing to invest in this drama with the maximum budget.

"What's An Ruilin's status, TV and movies? Such a price drop, he will never agree!" Li Zhiyi smiled and shook his head, hoping to wake up his boss's unrealistic delusion.

"That was two years ago." Guan Shan said firmly.Two years ago, he had read the script of "Kai Tang" and proposed to make a TV movie, but he was almost beaten by the furious An Ruilin.But in the past two years, An Ruilin has hit a wall everywhere. "In the early days, picture tubes were used to make TVs, and later they became transistors. With the advancement of technology, digital TVs and 3D TVs are popular now, and VR TVs are the development direction of future technology. It can be said that as long as you have money, you can watch TV at home and watch it outside. Movies, the gap in visual effects has become smaller and smaller. From the perspective of pursuing artistic effects, I don’t think there is any loss in making "Kai Tang" a TV movie. No matter how high-quality a movie is, What's the use if no one knows?"

When Guan Shan said that, Li Zhiyi couldn't help but nodded. "But... An Ruilin is an old-school filmmaker after all. Mr. Guan asked him to go back to making TV movies. I'm afraid he can't accept this kind of gap..."

"That was also two years ago!" This time, even Tang Chi laughed. "An Ruilin dragged on for two years because he couldn't find a suitable candidate to play Li Shimin, but this time he took the initiative to call." After finishing speaking, he looked at Xia Zhi eagerly. In the script of "Kai Tang", Li Shimin is the absolute protagonist.The whole script tells the story of him from rebelling against the Sui Dynasty until he launched the Xuanwumen Incident at the age of 29 and ascended the throne as emperor.Looking at today's Chinese entertainment industry, there are actors of the same age, with enough acting skills, and who can match the eight characters of "dragon and phoenix, the appearance of the sun", who else can there be except Xia Zhi?

A month later, Guangying's official website updated Xia Zhi's dynamics - he took over the filming of the TV movie "Kai Tang" with an investment of [-] million yuan, and starred in the leading male Li Shimin.

"Xia Zhi wants to play Li Erfeng ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" fans were excited and inexplicably running to tell each other.

"Television movie? It sounds good, isn't it just a TV series?" The sunspots were also carnival, "The TV circle and the movie circle have always been very different, what is the quality of the summer solstice, the producer's eyes are sharp! Hehe!"

But this time, without professional fans, everyone who eats melons knows how to slap in the face. "Open your dog eyes and look at the list of directors before spraying shit!"

In the film information listed on the official website of Light and Shadow Films, a famous name is clearly written in the column of chief director - Ann!Rui!Lin!

The author has something to say:

Guan Shan: When setting bold goals, when should you be bold?

Director: Time to courtship!

Guan Shan: ...
