First Actor [Rebirth]

"This movie will be the movie with the highest production cost in China in the next two years. If you miss this one, you may have to wait for several years." Manager Wang Youlan said to Lu Yang.

"Although some big-budget movies have been made in China, the box office results are uneven. Some cost money and make money, and some just waste money and lose everything... This kind of risky investment , not just any company dares to do it.”

Zong Tian and Fang Ke, as large investors, will bear more than 80.00% of the shooting costs, and dozens of small investors will also invest a total of [-] million yuan.

Behind this huge number represents the ambition of investors, but it also means enormous pressure on all parties.

"If a billion-dollar movie becomes popular, it will definitely become the highlight of an actor's career... But if it loses money unfortunately, then he will never escape the title of best box office for the rest of his life."

Wang Youlan still has reservations about Lu Yangshen not participating in the audition.

"You are still young, you can play more steadily, there is no need to take such a big risk."

He watched Lu Yang come forward step by step, and he was afraid that a disastrous failure would have an irreparable impact on Lu Yang's career as an actor.

Lu Yang heard what Wang Youlan meant, and he took the biography of the audition character in his hand: "I will think carefully before making a decision."

——Box office poison, for actors, is definitely a highly toxic label!

Some actors who are all-powerful in the TV drama circle have repeatedly failed on the big screen.

Either he took over a literary film, but there was an air of pretending to be too much; or he was holding on to the scene in a funny film, and it was not only not funny, but also vulgar.

Audiences walked into theaters loving them, disappointed as much as they expected, followed by rave reviews and poor box office results.

Others were originally big-screen actors, but they were just unlucky, and the scripts they got several times in a row were all of the "destroying" type.

At this time, netizens will not say that they are unlucky, but will think that these actors who made bad movies gave up their dignity as actors for money.

Maybe there is a reason for this, but sometimes it is really "hard to find a play"-a good script is not a potato in the supermarket, waiting for you to pick and choose when you are tired.

When there is really no good script, actors also have to support their families.

At this time, it is not fair to them to say "don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice".

Whether a movie is good or not depends on the performance of the actors, but many factors cannot be determined by the actors alone.

Sometimes the audience can't see these deep-seated things, they only pay attention to the cast of the performance, so the performers are naturally the ones who bear the blame in the end.

In short, once an actor is labeled as the "box office leader", it will be difficult to get along on the big screen.

Although some artists failed on the big screen, they can still play well when they return to the TV circle, and they still have a lot of ratings when they are their own TV emperors and TV queens.

But compared to fast-paced TV dramas, movies are different in the end—anyone who really loves acting will want to participate in movie shooting, and feel the kind of "pleasure" that pursues the ultimate display of every frame

Participating in filming is Lu Yang's wish to come true next.

Now this wish was in front of him, and it was about to come true.

Just, need to consider whether the cake is too big?Will eating it not only be unsatisfactory, but also choke yourself?

Now Lu Yang's advantage is that he is young and has a lot of time to "spend".

But his disadvantage is also young, even in the eyes of his own agent, he does not yet have the age and experience to withstand such pressure.

Wang Youlan saw that Lu Yang took the biography, and obviously still wanted to participate in the audition, but he had no choice but to take him: "The investors this time are Zong Tian and Fang Ke, I don't know how much they expect for this film's return on investment. high."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In contrast, Zong Zhenghai's attitude towards Lu Yang's audition was very positive.

"It's safe to say that neither Zong Tian nor Fang Ke wanted to directly make money from this movie," Zong Zhenghai told Lu Yang bluntly: "We're even planning to lose money."

For the Huaguo market, sci-fi movies have always been a piece of delicious but not easy-to-cook meat.

Seeing foreign commercial blockbusters earning huge profits in China, who wouldn't want a piece of the action?It's just that it doesn't have this strength for the time being.

Moreover, sci-fi movies are originally an extremely expensive type of movie. Without a full grasp, who would dare to use hundreds of millions to "experiment" and "test the water"?

If Fang Ke and Zong Tian hadn't reached a consensus, any independent company would have to carefully consider it if it wanted to spend so much money to make this movie.

Fang Ke made this work for the sake of "feelings" on the surface, and to express the game world he created in another form. In fact, in the final analysis, he wanted to expand the influence of "Stars".

Huaguo has its own sci-fi-themed games and sci-fi movies. This gimmick is enough to make more players curious about "Stars", and then enter the game, further promoting Fangke's development in the computer and network fields.

For Zong Tian, ​​this drama will set up a new scene with a sci-fi background in the film and television base in Daocheng, but this is not a "temporary" scene.

In other words, they can attract more film and television dramas that want to try sci-fi themes but suffer from no shooting locations, which may also include the "Stars" series of movies.

There is a famous example, and that is the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies.

The global box office is [-] billion, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy has sold nearly [-] billion, and the combined investment is only [-] million.Although there are many reasons for this, one of them is the reuse of scenes.

Moreover, such a sci-fi scene will become the only one in domestic film and television bases, and promoting it as a large-scale tourism project will also generate many benefits.

Just like why some people are keen to build the tallest building in the world, it is not just to satisfy personal vanity, but to alienate an image from the public and build a kind of self-confidence.

——Look, this movie burns so much money, we made it as soon as we said it, so what else can be difficult for Fang Ke and Zong Tian?

The virtual effect of making this movie is what the two companies really value.

So even if the film is still in the process of being filmed, it may have already started to work for Zong Tian and Fang Ke.

"The shooting time of this film is half a year, and the production time is about twelve to fifteen months. During this one and a half years, not only Fang Ke, but we Zong Tian will also have a lot of actions around this film. Maybe The cost can be recovered before the movie is released."

It's just that if the box office is not good, it will also affect the follow-up income, so of course they still hope that the movie will sell well, so that they will make more profits from it and continue to make profits for a longer period of time.

Of course, Zong Tian and Fang Ke are certain about this project.

First of all, in China, this theme rarely appears, so Huaguo audiences actually have expectations for local sci-fi movies. Once the movie is released, a considerable number of audiences will enter the cinema out of support for domestic sci-fi;

Furthermore, Huaguo has a huge market. As long as the publicity is good, there will be no problem with the box office. What's more, Fang Ke himself is engaged in computer networks, so he has an advantage in this regard;

The third and most important point - technical guarantee.

Because the two companies have joined forces, the problem of funds has been solved. Although money is not everything, it can already do many things.

In order to make this big-screen work carrying Fang Ke's game world as perfect as possible, Fang Ke not only participated in the production himself, but also invited a professional team from Hollywood.

……

"The plot of this movie is not complicated, and the characters are easy to understand... But it is rare because it is rare in China. If you want to act in a sci-fi movie, you must first go abroad, but this is not the case for most actors. It's not realistic."

Lu Yang chatted with Zong Zhenghai about his thoughts: "This is also unrealistic for me now."

After listening to the other party's words, Lu Yang, who had other concerns, immediately relaxed and made a decision: "So I still want to give it a try, after all, the opportunity is rare."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"THE STAR", a movie called "Star" in Chinese, is a sci-fi movie based on Fang Ke's game of the same name.

The story takes place in the distant Alpha galaxy, where there is an interstellar alliance centered on three countries: the Federation, the Carter Empire and the Samuel Empire.

In this galaxy, there is a kind of wormhole called "the gate of the distant star field", which is actually a passage connecting the Zerg gathering place and the alpha galaxy.

The Zerg is a ferocious alien creature that seriously endangers the reproduction of human beings.Therefore, human beings have guarded the "Gate of the Far Star Field" for generations, hoping to prevent the invasion of these "Zergs".

The protagonist of the movie is the royal family who was born in the Carter Empire, and the whole story revolves around his growth and the battle between humans and Zerg in the Alpha galaxy.

In other words, if Lu Yang passes the audition, he will play the role of "Prince" again.

It's just that this time the prince is no longer in the ancient China, but the future prince of Interstellar.

Seeing that Lu Yang had made up his mind, Wang Youlan naturally wouldn't stop him, so he immediately collected all kinds of information about the "Star" audition, including who were the judges who participated in the audition, who were his main competitors...

"This time you will meet many old acquaintances..." Wang Youlan handed the information to Lu Yang.

If it weren't for the fact that "Stars" didn't conduct a fully open audition, but instead adopted a partial internal decision and a small-scale re-competition method, there would probably be more artists who auditioned on the spot.

Lu Yang looked through the list, and sure enough, as the agent said - there are really many acquaintances!

The author has something to say: just arrived home, hurry up and post a chapter, today's second update will put an anti-theft chapter first, and replace it with the new chapter tomorrow morning

Thank you "The Sorrow of Thanatos" for your mine~!
