This actor needs more money

Of course, Ding Xiu will not tell Wang Tongzheng and Reba that there is another reason why he acted in the online drama.

That is, if the company wants to open up the online drama market, it needs a pioneer.

With the development and diversification of the Internet, more and more young people are now gathering towards the Internet and slowly leaving traditional TV sets.

Audiences twenty years ago would watch whatever the TV station showed.

Audiences ten years ago would watch whatever drama was more popular.

At that time, the ratings of TV dramas were very high. Generally, popular dramas could break seven, eight, or even ten.

There is no such grand occasion in today's TV dramas.

Shonan Satellite TV's Kuaiben is the variety show with the highest ratings in the country. The usual ratings are only a few points, and occasionally break 2.

Only large-scale parties and star-studded scenes can break 3.

For other provincial channels, popular dramas can break 3, which is already considered good. There are not many that can break 4, only a few every year.

Is it because the audience doesn’t like watching TV series?

No.

I just didn’t have time to watch it.

The biggest market for TV series is always young people. Today's young people either go to work or go to school, and they are usually under a lot of pressure.

There is no time to watch the TV.

Playing drama at 7:30 every day?

High school students haven't finished school yet, and office workers are still working overtime. Who has time to watch your drama?

I wait until I get off work or school. I can watch dramas on my mobile phone on weekends. It’s so convenient. I can watch them at any time without having to wait for a few minutes for commercials.

There are many TV series and movies to choose from.

Compared with TV dramas, online dramas have many advantages. For example, the censorship is not so strict, and the scale is slightly larger than that of TV dramas.

The sales process is simple and the broadcast time is fast. The website can use sharing or one-time buyout, and you can broadcast it after buying it.

Qin Chao Entertainment has been preparing to open up the online drama market in recent years, including acquiring popular IPs, negotiating with platform parties, etc.

For example, this time "White Night Chase", regardless of the investment of 120 million, the advertising fee alone has already paid back.

It was bought out by iQi Video before it was launched.

It’s like saying it’s not finished yet, but it’s already starting to make money.

The speed of making money is no slower than that of making movies.

Thinking of something, Ding Xiu said to Reba, "By the way, you don't have to act in person for tomorrow's scene, you'll have to use a substitute."

"Ah, isn't this good?" Reba coyly said, she was already prepared.

Her role tomorrow is to pretend to be a street girl, get close to the murderer, and seduce him.

However, he was knocked unconscious during the operation. When outside support arrived, he had been stripped naked and tied up by the murderer.

The murderer is done.

This drama is a criminal investigation drama, not a pornographic film, so it definitely doesn't need to be fully exposed.

But according to what the director told me before, he still has to reveal a lot, that is, except for key parts.

According to the director, it is similar to wearing a bikini, except that computer technology will be used to remove the straps later.

Then, taking advantage of the visual relationship, a wall pillar was used to block the middle of the body, causing visual dislocation and making it look like she was completely naked.

After thinking about it, Reba felt that it was not a big deal, and it was still within the scope of her acceptance, although it was still a bit embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, I was mentally prepared, but Ding Xiu said no, and wanted to find a substitute.

"What's wrong?" Ding Xiu rolled his eyes at her: "Will this scene improve your acting skills, or will it enhance the whole play?"

"It's just a coma scene of a few seconds, without a single line. Why do you need to make such a big sacrifice? How much money do you have for the film? How can you risk your life?"

A hanging shot. To be honest, there is no need to appear in person. There is not a single line, not even a close-up.

I also had to take off my clothes, which was completely thankless.

Reba said nonchalantly: "It's all for art. Actually, I can still accept it."

Her idea is that it is rare to encounter such a large crew, so she must work hard and try her best to play the role well.

The scale of the next scene is just on the edge of her bottom line, so it's not impossible to film.

I think back then, Ding Xiu and Fan Binbin were much more popular than her. When they filmed Apple, didn't they also make sacrifices?

It's all for art.

"Put it down, the art of fart, I have already told the director to go to KTV to find a princess who will be your stand-in tomorrow."

Ding Xiu didn't give Reba a chance to refute, saying that this matter was not a discussion, but a notification.

It is definitely difficult to find a nude substitute in ordinary KTV.

Have to go to the business KTV.

There are a lot of people there, so you can let loose and have fun.

It's just a shot that doesn't show three points, and thousands of dollars can be paid in minutes. It's not too easy for them.

During the conversation between the two, Wang Longzheng remained silent, but his eyes were a little strange.

Ding Xiu is too kind to Reba. Is there something going on between the two of them?

It is not uncommon in the industry for actors to use stand-ins. There are many stand-ins, including physical stand-ins, literary stand-ins, light stand-ins, hand stand-ins, and back-body stand-ins.

Actresses will also use body doubles when encountering some large-scale scenes.

But the premise is that the actress is a big name, or has a certain celebrity status to be qualified to use a substitute.

Wang Longzheng had never heard of the name Reba before joining the crew. After doing some research these days, he found out that she had acted in several dramas, but she was not well-known.

Neither are third-tier actors.

In such a large crew, Reba is not qualified to use a stand-in.

If she had the time, energy and money to find a stand-in, the filming would have been completed long ago if she appeared in person.

But Ding Xiu still arranged a substitute for her, which shows that the level of concern is extraordinary, which inevitably makes people daydream.

Ding Xiu breathed out and sighed: "Times have changed, and female artists still have to cherish their reputation."

"I know, thank you Brother Xiu."

"Well, it's okay."

More than ten years ago, it was relatively common for female artists to rely on sacrifice to break through their acting skills and break the audience's inherent image of themselves.

Needless to say, the effect is great.

Many female stars have become famous instantly, or have reached the top.

But that was more than ten years ago, and today's audiences still have relatively strong moral values ​​and are not able to accept this model.

Don’t you see, those who became famous once they took off their clothes later tried to put their clothes back on one by one, and spent countless efforts.

Some are directly labeled as porn stars and lustful women, and they will never be able to get rid of them in their lifetime.

Reba's route is more like an idol. Once she gets these labels, all that awaits her is to lose followers and get scolded.

Even if you can gain a group of lsp fans, you will lose more true fans.

The key is that it’s a thankless job. So what if you take it off? You’ll be able to become a seasoned and capable actor in no time.

Totally impossible.

"The coffee is gone, I'll go get some more." Reba stood up and was about to pour coffee for the two of them.

Ding Xiu said: "I don't want coffee, let's have some tea."

Wang Longzheng waved his hand: "Thank you, I don't need it, I will be waiting soon."

On the way back to the RV, all Reba could think about was what Ding Xiu had just said.

After finishing work in the evening, I picked up my mobile phone and called Yang Mi to tell her what happened during the day.

Yang Mi almost scolded her.

Reba felt aggrieved: "Sister Mi, didn't you also shoot large-scale scenes before? I also want to make a breakthrough."

"Don't mention it, I regret it." Yang Mi knew what she was talking about, Far Cry.

It was after that drama that I got the nickname Da Mi Mi.

But over the years, she did not benefit from that role. After the movie was released, for a period of time, all the scripts for her were sexy and flesh-exposed.

The Japanese pornographic film companies almost came to my door.

The comments on Weibo were even more unsightly, and there were also all kinds of private messages yying about her, which made her miserable.

If time could go back, she would definitely not take that film.

"Anyway, just listen to Brother Xiu. He won't harm you. Have you read the script I sent you? If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

"I did not see."

"You~"

"I don't have time to watch it. I'm too busy. I have to study the role, watch the show, play the show, and play the lyrics every day. Sister Mi, I play Zhou Shutong in my dreams. I dream of Brother Xiu slapping me in the face and vomiting non-stop."

"Hey, you should do your work first. This is the case when you first join the crew. You will get used to it after a while. Remember to memorize the script of Three Lives Three Worlds."
