Star Entertainment Tycoon

Although there are a lot of people participating in this movie, there are not too many important roles.

Since it is Xanadu, if you want to appear in people's eyes, you need a person who accidentally entered the paradise, and this person is the hero.A female character who cherishes him in Taoyuan, that is, the heroine.Taoyuan's most prestigious manager, villainous boss, male supporting female supporting role... There are no more than ten important roles in total, and the rest can be casted by the group.

Gu Jingchuan didn't plan to show off his acting skills this time, so he only acted as the director and producer behind the scenes. As for the movie roles, all the actors he hired were to play them.

He chose a 25-year-old but full of reliable young man Jiang Chi to play the male lead, and Han Xinya, a girl who looks very elegant and classical, was chosen as the female lead.

The male supporting role is called Wei Tao, he is very handsome, energetic and smart, and soon won the favor of many people in the crew.The female supporting role is called He Xinyi, she is a cute girl with round eyes and self-made colored contact lenses, she looks cute and cute, just like the little girl next door.

The manager of Taoyuan is the last middle-aged actor Fang Cheng who was taken in by Gu Jingchuan. After Gu Jingchuan's test, his acting skills are quite good, and he is also honest and willing to work.He is obviously a good-natured guy who is always modest and has no temper when he is resting, but when he started filming, he actually showed it.

The opposite boss, Liu Yan, is a middle-aged actor in his forties. He is an old drama player who likes to joke a lot and can take care of younger generations.He made movies in his early years, but he couldn't bear the turbulent atmosphere in the entertainment industry and changed to acting in dramas. It wasn't until Gu Jingchuan went to the drama theater to find actors that he was brought back to the film and television industry.He has the most experience in acting, but he has no airs and is quite popular among the crew.If it wasn't for his looks, he was really not suitable for playing a positive role, and the acting path must be wider.

These actors never had the chance to make movies in the past. It was Gu Jingchuan who saved their careers and made them cherish this opportunity to make movies.They also know very well that this is the last chance in their lives. If their performance cannot satisfy Gu Jingchuan, then they may not be able to enter the entertainment industry again in this lifetime.

Everyone worked hard, desperately studying the script, studying the characters' psychology, intending to show their best abilities during the performance, so as not to disappoint Gu Jingchuan, and to stay in the crew.

Perhaps some crew members were willing to listen to Gu Jingchuan honestly just because he was the boss before the filming started, and dismissed his ability and experience, thinking that he was just a brat.But when the filming officially started, everyone was shocked by Gu Jingchuan. Everyone really regarded him as a director, and they were afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts. They couldn't help but tremble when they saw him.

Gu Jingchuan was speechless, and he didn't do anything to them...

The fake teenagers have seen many directors. In order to frighten the crew, they are either good at swearing, or have a serious expression and a cold face all day long, or just open their mouths and shut up and then be fired... Gu Jingchuan does not have such a habit, he asked himself if he would Those who beat and scold people in the crew don't like to threaten others with expulsion or deducting money. They have always been reasonable with a smile, but why is everyone so afraid of him, whether in the last life or in this life?

"Am I scary?" Thinking of this, Gu Jingchuan smiled and casually asked a director standing not far from him.

The face of the young production boy turned pale in an instant, he hesitated and couldn't speak, his eyes were fixed on Gu Jingchuan's face, as if he wanted to analyze Gu Jingchuan's expression and he really wanted a "scary" answer Or "not terrible" answer.He tried his best to twitch the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to show a smile, but in the end he could only pull out an expression uglier than crying.

"Director...director...director, you...you..." the young man swallowed, "you...very..." scary!

Gu Jingchuan couldn't hear his words clearly, so he couldn't help but "hmm" in doubt.The young man was frightened and changed his answer immediately, "You are not scary at all!"

Gu Jingchuan was silent for a while, and the crew member was frightened even more when he saw his silent appearance, and wanted to turn around and run away.

"Is that so..." Gu Jingchuan said slowly, "I'll just say... what's so scary?"

Seeing that Gu Jingchuan was not angry, the production guy quickly turned around and ran away, and jumped to a place quite far away from Gu Jingchuan in two or three times, not daring to get closer.

Gu Jingchuan watched the action of the drama director speechlessly, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He was so frightened that he said it was not scary?This lie is a bit too fake...but what did you do?Why is he so frightened?I don't understand...

I am so kind, so gentle, spreading sunshine in the crew every day, why would I scare them like this?Are they accustomed to strict directors and don't like their smiling performance?

Thinking of this, Gu Jingchuan subconsciously controlled his expression and became serious.As his expression changed, the entire crew seemed to be frightened by him. No one dared to make any noise, but just stared blankly at him, fearing that he would suddenly lose his temper.

Except for the cameraman sitting next to Gu Jingchuan who couldn't run away and could only huddle there trembling, the rest of the behind-the-scenes staff all wished they could stay as far away from him as possible, and it would be best to hide in outer space.As for the actors who were about to start filming, they couldn't bear the terrifying atmosphere around them, and retreated more and more, almost out of the camera's viewing range.

"Here, water." At this moment, a deep voice intervened, interrupting Gu Jingchuan's thoughts, and also brought his facial expression back to the original smiling state, thus saving the poor little girl in the crew. heart.

Gu Jingchuan took the water bottle that was placed in front of his eyes, and when he turned his head, he saw Shen Zhuo who was handing him water.Shen Zhuo was still expressionless, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Jingchuan's hand holding water, "Why don't you drink water? You haven't drunk water all morning, aren't you thirsty?"

Gu Jingchuan was startled, looked at Shen Zhuo's appearance, and smiled more gently.He unscrewed the water bottle and took a few sips of water before saying, "Thank you for the water, but there are assistants and crew members in the crew, they can help me get the water, and I don't need to trouble you for things like this in the future."

Shen Zhuo's EQ is low, I don't know that Gu Jingchuan regards him as a friend, he doesn't want to instruct him to do this or that, and he doesn't want other people to misunderstand that Shen Zhuo is flattering and hugging his thigh, but he just got to know Gu Jingchuan literally The semantic meaning, said: "No trouble, just take it."

"And..." He turned his head to look at the assistants and production staff who had already hid tens of meters away, and said expressionlessly, "They are so far away, can they still fetch water for you?"

Gu Jingchuan followed Shen Zhuo's gaze, and became silent. Is he so scary? Isn't he just serious?As for running so far away?He is not a tiger that can eat people!

Gu Jingchuan didn't know that the assistant and production manager he was staring at were talking about him there.

"Did you see? Just now the smiling tiger stopped smiling, and his expression was so serious that it scared me to death!" the assistant said in a low voice, not forgetting to shrink his body, wishing he could hide himself behind a big rock, so as not to let him Gu Jingchuan saw it.

"I saw it." The drama manager who retreated early couldn't help shivering, "Usually I'm terrified when he smiles, but who knows that when he's not smiling it's more scary than when he's smiling. It's almost like eating people."

Gu Jingchuan, the smiling tiger who wants to eat people...

"You said, don't ordinary directors like to scold people when they are filming? Director Gu doesn't scold people, he just smiles at us, but no one can understand what he means when he smiles. It's almost like saying that you are not doing well. It’s like killing you.” The drama manager wiped off his sweat and said tremblingly: “He just smiled at me and said ‘hmm’, if I didn’t change my words wisely, I would definitely be fired by him .”

"At first I thought he was smiling because of his gentle temper, but you just looked at his serious expression just now... Who would believe that he is mild-tempered." A staff member intervened in the conversation between the production manager and the assistant, and said : "Based on the stern expression he accidentally showed just now, it can be seen that his usual smile is definitely meaningful and full of threats!"

"So he is a smiling tiger. He looks very gentle, but he is actually very scary." The assistant nodded, "Director Shen is better. Although he has no expression, he is very gentle and will stand for us when the smiling tiger shows off his power. Pass the water, it's too powerful!"

Fortunately, Gu Jingchuan didn't hear what they said, otherwise he would be speechless.He smiles every day and is gentle with others, but these little bastards say he is a smiling tiger. Shen Zhuo is expressionless, and no one pays attention to him. He sits in the crew every day and plays with the star brain, but in the end, he is said to be gentle with others and help them prevent disasters... Is there still fairness and justice in this world?You are all shaking m, right...

No matter what, the fact that Gu Jingchuan is a smiling tiger has already been concluded by everyone in the crew. Except for Shen Zhuo, the whole crew is not afraid of him, and the others simply wish they could walk around him.What he ordered was what he ordered, and no one dared to stab him, which was a good thing.

The only trouble is that the assistants and production managers in the crew are also afraid of him. When the filming is busy, he can't find anyone who dares to bring him water and things.Fortunately, Shen Zhuo was willing to help and did a lot of miscellaneous tasks, which allowed him to devote himself to filming movies.

Maybe this is the reason why Shen Zhuo never took the initiative to talk to others, but he still maintains a very good popularity among the crew... It's amazing to be able to stop the smiling tiger devil from getting angry when he gets angry—this is the crew The voice of everyone in it.

Gu Jingchuan said that he was just anxious to drink water, and his expression was a little anxious. How did you people interpret the eager expression as angry and angry?Forgot to bring glasses!

When filming "Mingquan", Gu Jingchuan did not do any publicity.At that time, he was still unknown, and no one paid attention to his publicity, and he had no money to do publicity.

The online release and screen release of "Mingquan" didn't have any premiere ceremony. The main creative staff were Gu Jingchuan and Shen Zhuo. It would be nice if the rest of the entertainment industry didn't sneer, and they wouldn't come to the premiere at all. How does the red carpet for two people hold?So there was no premiere at all.

The subsequent publicity is about the same as whether it is available or not. "Singing Spring" had already become the hottest topic in Huaguo at that time, and there were recommendations from all the cultural masters. If you don't watch "Singing Spring", you are simply out of track with the times, so the whole movie has received extremely high rewards without any publicity at all. Gu Jingchuan doesn't need to worry about the box office.

But now the new movie is different.

"Mingquan" was first released on the Internet and then released in theaters, and the influence of the trailer was completely beyond everyone's imagination.Even if it is not too publicized, netizens who already know "Mingquan" will rush to watch the movie theater version, which will not affect the box office.However, the new movie Gu Jingchuan plans to release it online and in theaters at the same time. If there is no promotion to let people know what kind of movie he has made, the box office performance will be affected when it is released.

The entertainment industry has been sluggish throughout the ages of the universe, and there is no decent movie promotion at all, let alone complicated hype techniques.Generally speaking, the promotion of movies and TV shows in the entertainment industry is nothing more than posting posters, or renting one or two advertising spots on the video network, and in the end it is a trailer that is not very well edited.There is not much difference between publicity and no publicity, and the box office can only be boosted by the comments of film critics after the release.

This can't be blamed for their lack of effort in publicity. In the era of the universe, there are not a few films that can recover their costs a year. Most of the films lose money, and the losses are quite miserable.It costs money to make a movie, and it also costs money to promote it. If the box office is sluggish, it will not cover the cost. The more money you spend on publicity, the more you will lose.So in the end, the film company just broke the pot and refused to invest in publicity expenses.

The reason why these film and television companies have not closed down is entirely due to state subsidies. If there is no state assistance, they would have closed their doors and closed their businesses based on the box office they earned. How could everyone be so rich?

The original intention of the country is good, but it is a pity that the method chosen is wrong.Such blind assistance cannot fundamentally solve the problem of the downturn in film and television. Instead, it has caused the strange phenomenon of "shoddy production, cost saving, and subsidy sharing" in the film and television industry.The subsidy is not used for the film at all, and it is directly divided by the film and television companies, which can only make the entertainment industry more silent and decadent.

Gu Jingchuan didn't want to follow the old path of the entertainment industry. If he wanted better box office, publicity was essential. He didn't publicize because he was afraid of the high cost. The audience didn't know there was such a movie, so how could it get a high box office?Of course, it is impossible for him not to know such a simple logical question, so publicity is a must, and it is the most important thing.

For example, when the film project was established, he disclosed the news to the major media, and asked them to publish it on the news network to let the audience know that he was about to make a new film.Then, with the release of "Mingquan" in theaters and the hot topic of Dongfeng, he held a simple opening ceremony for the new movie, and put the video on Jixun.com to attract the attention of the audience.

During the filming period, he, Shen Zhuo and all the actors registered an account on WeChat, the social software with the largest number of users in the history of the universe, and set up an official account for a new movie. Interesting stills to deepen netizens' impression of the new movie.

But these are just small things, the film has not yet finished, and the real publicity has not yet begun.Although Gu Jingchuan didn't intend to hype the actors, he was very confident in the promotion of the movie.He wants to make the new movie popular before it airs, and create a box office miracle again!
