The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 195 The All-Star Lineup of Misunderstandings (4K)

Of course, looking for fun or something is more of a joke.

The difference in training methods is, in the final analysis, because people are different.

Most actors, as long as they do their job well, naturally need to tell them how to cooperate and act.

As for Zhou Qiming, even if he is a character, he has to waste a liter of saliva trying to get one or two more moves, which shows how unresponsible he is.

Wang Wei has also seen this kind of actor, and there is always an impulse in his mind that is different from ordinary people-hey, can we try to change the script?Is it possible to try changing the way of acting?

Some directors will hate actors who think too much, but some directors are happy to let them give it a try.

And Wang Wei obviously belongs to the latter.

In fact, don’t look at Zhou Qiming’s bitter face after listening to the request, but when he really took the script and discussed it with all the supporting actors, especially the supporting actors who played against him a lot, he was very excited——

"Isn't it funnier to act like this?"

"Isn't it more appropriate to change this line?"

"so……"

Many people couldn't keep up with his ideas, but unfortunately, many of the ideas he put forward made even Wang Wei applaud.

Of course, it is impossible to "throw" all the director's work to the actors. In addition to working with the crew, Wang Wei also has to compete with props and production details.

It's not that you can shoot a comedy casually. The success of the movie "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" is by no means as simple as a "nonsensical" concept.

Whether the film is shot with care or not, and whether there is sincerity, in many cases, you can know it only by looking at every detail.

For example, the ubiquitous couplets, calligraphy and paintings in the background of the movie.

Wang Wei told Zhou Qiming that he didn't want a "pure" ancient man, but he wanted to create an antique and ancient environment as much as possible.

To some extent, this is also to create a comedy atmosphere-in a serious environment, doing things that are completely out of normal people's thinking, the more contrast, the more funny.

As for the crew behind the scenes...

They have long been used to it!
Wang Wei likes to be strict on the details, and he likes to do things well in the preparatory stage, which is a basic practice.

Therefore, just for the calligraphy and painting as the background, the crew sent people to museums around the world to learn from Tang Bohu's authentic calligraphy and painting to make "imitation pen" props, which can be described as meticulous.

——Although, many people don't pay attention to such details when watching movies.

However, without the support of such details, the plot scenes quoted from the classics in the movie appear vain and ungrounded.

It is said that the more fictional the work, the more accurate the details must be. Wang Wei's films never lose points in terms of details.

In addition, Wang Wei is dealing with the big and small stars who are queuing up to come and play guest roles.

Yes, without exaggeration, there is a queue!
It would have been normal at first.

Wang Wei himself went to the movie to play a small supporting role, so he wanted to invite some well-known actors to play guest roles in friendship, and set up some "little easter eggs" in the cast list.

——He wouldn't say that before the time travel, he watched a lot of cameo appearances by big stars playing soy sauce.

In fact, many senior movie viewers will find it very interesting to see these big names playing soy sauce in the movie.

It would be more interesting if it was a back-and-forth spoof.

For example, through the crew of "Shooting the Condors", Wang Wei recruited the actors of "Evil in the East, Poison in the West, the South Emperor and the Beggar in the North" to guest-star in "East Obscenity, West Bitch, South Salty and North Wetness"; The author Shen Yan invited him to play one of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River...

Not only did they agree to save face, but they also found it interesting to release an absurd and hilarious comedy, and recommended some acquaintances to the crew to play funny together.

For example, "Dong Xie" recommended the actor of "Mrs. Hua", who is an old lady who has been active on the screen all the year round, and has no psychological burden on completely letting herself go;
Also, Shen Yan recommended the actor of "Zhu Zhishan", a "low friend" who is "honest on the surface, but lazy and greedy, and especially good at betraying friends". The character design of "Zhuzhishan";

Shen Zhenyi, who also came to play a guest role, actually came to join in the fun and recommended her friends. At the same time, Zhu Min, who had collaborated in "Genius Gunner", played the heroine Qiuxiang. I didn't expect this academic who came from an authentic acting background to be very fond of Fenghua, The stunning Sister Pomegranate was more interested, and she didn't feel the slightest bit awkward about this crazy performance...

By this time, everything is basically normal.

They are all in the same circle, favors, no one can avoid it, as long as the candidate and the role are suitable, Wang Wei doesn't care who is recommended.

It's just that, after they finished thinking about the script and roles, on the one hand, they were calling out for such a big transformation in Wang Wei's new film, and on the other hand, they were "calling friends and calling friends" to help the crew recommend more actors—even if It's a cameo.

Of course, not all the recommended people can win the role—many actors expressed a little unacceptable and refused the recommendation when they learned that they were going to play a spoof scene; there were also many people who were really not suitable for the "nonsensical" style , acting very awkwardly, was declined by the crew...

But in the end, the crew was surprised to find that the originally prepared public casting could be cancelled—most of the roles had found competent candidates through mutual referrals.

What's even more frightening is that, after totaling it up, it was found that among the candidates who were only selected for a few minutes of cameo roles, there was an actress, a TV queen, an actor, a comedy king, and more than a dozen others who were either nominated or had been The award-winning supporting actors...

You must know that the selection of cast members is not based on fame, and that he (she) was able to win the role, which completely proves one point - it's funny, but he (she) is serious.

This does not include Wang Wei and Shen Zhenyi, the supernova who once again collaborated on the big screen!
Not to mention that Zhou Qiming, the "cute new" actor, was almost frightened silly, even Lao Wang, who was busy dealing with the five majors, was startled by this gorgeous lineup!

"This is too exaggerated!"

Holding the preliminary list of actors drawn up by the crew of "Tang", Comrade Lao Wang, who "lost the opportunity to appear in a guest role", looked unbelievable.

But Wang Wei in front of him just nodded silently, "It's not too exaggerated, although I can't believe it."

——In terms of exaggeration, in a spoof comedy in another time and space, he has seen a combination of four great movie kings, four big movie queens and a generation of song gods!

"Not to mention anything else, do you think the current budget for this film is enough?"

"This... the budget is really a small problem."

Wang Wei feels that, in comparison, the budget is really not a problem.

After all, guest appearances, although it doesn't mean that they are free to perform, but the price is not based on the normal salary. Even if the popular big stars come to guest appearances, the expenditure is still controllable.

Therefore, if you invite a more suitable celebrity guest star, it will indeed be very cost-effective.

The problem is, their crew has invited too many guest star stars!
"Because they are all guest stars and their time is limited, it is best to focus on shooting scenes related to their roles, so that these big stars can leave the group as soon as possible."

Wang Wei couldn't help complaining: "One or two is not too much trouble, so many people mean that our shooting plan needs to be adjusted a lot!"

"Then are you willing to use them? Anyway, I am not willing!"

"Yes!"

Wang Wei and Lao Wang sighed together.

With such a star-studded list, "Tang" can't help but attract media attention-although Wang Wei's new film will never be without media attention.

However, from the perspective of publicity, no one would think too much attention.

Especially under the background that the Big Five are eyeing Dunhuang covetously and may strike at any time.

"Fortunately, after all, they are only cameos, and they don't have many scenes, so they won't overthrow the shooting plan and start over."

Wang Wei pondered for a while, and said slowly.

——No way, the benefits of their guest appearances are much more troublesome than this!
"That's good!"

Lao Wang waved his fist, and then asked questions——

"However, just relying on friendship and friendship, can you attract so many famous celebrities to comeo?"

Wang Wei also had a question mark face, "Don't say it, I'm also surprised!"

In the end, it was "Little Prince of the Waves" Zhou Lin who explained to them——

"First of all, don't look at the big stars who are superior one by one, but as the director once said, everyone has a heart that is funny."

"I said that?"

"You really said it. Well, that's not the point. The point is that they occasionally want to be absurd without restraint. Some people can't help but go crazy in reality, and some go crazy in movies-and it's just a cameo, no matter how absurd they are. No one will scold them, and if they want to scold them, they will only scold the director."

Wang Wei: "...You are so reasonable, but I can't refute it."

Zhou Lin shrugged, "Secondly, many of them came here to build a good relationship with you, the director."

"I'm even more curious about this. I thought they would choose to wait and see from a distance in the current situation!" Wang Wei almost turned into a black question mark face.

It stands to reason that if Dunhuang and the Big Five had a bad relationship, it would be impossible for these well-known actors to choose to take sides, or in other words, it would be impossible for them to choose to take sides with Dunhuang.

If you are a person who is not in the early stage, it is okay to say that the key is to seize the opportunity first, and you don't care whether you stand in line or not;

But for those who are in the early stage, standing in a team is a problem that cannot be ignored.

This is what Wang Wei and the others wondered. Are there really so many people who are optimistic about Dunhuang?
Unexpectedly, Zhou Lin's face suddenly became weird, "This is the interesting part, they probably think that we are on the same team as the top five."

"???"

"The five majors have been in frequent contact with us, after all, we have not been able to hide it from the insiders, but the popular gossip is that the five majors have reached an in-depth cooperation with Dunhuang, and you, the future business leader, will also become the five majors' queen director... ..."

"So, you're already awesome, but now you're backed by the top five, who can stop you in the future? Now it's just a guest appearance, and you can get to know you well. Who wouldn't fly?"

Ah this...

Wang Wei and Lao Wang looked at each other, both speechless.

But soon, they realized that this is also normal.

The current situation is that the Big Five wants to swallow Dunhuang. Dunhuang doesn't want to submit, but he also doesn't want to be one against five, so he wants to divide the five big by "dividing the cake"... If it is not the person involved, it will look like sticky, even Is it possible to merge into one?

Zhou Lin added: "Actually, many people think that sooner or later you will be on the same team as the Big Five."

This is not difficult to understand.

The business of film and television, or simply the circle of art, is definitely not enough without capital, but in essence, this is still an industry that relies on talent to make a living.

A big director cannot do without a big production company, because he needs money to make a movie, but a big production company can’t do without a big director, because only a big director can guarantee that you spend 5000 million, and there is a high probability that you can get back 100 million ——If it were Wang Wei, the "probability" would be [-]%.

Therefore, if they were the Big Five, they would try their best to recruit people like Wang Wei under their command; and if they were Wang Wei, from the perspective of making money, it would be easier to make money by following the Big Five, and it would not necessarily make less money. How many.

From such remarks, it can also be seen that if several parties really turn their faces, most of the insiders, or the insiders with status, will tend to.

"So, the real reason is that many people expressed their feelings wrongly?"

"Rumours are harmful!"

Lao Wang and Wang Wei both had black lines on their faces.

Only they know that the current situation is actually slipping in a bad direction.

Because after Dunhuang released the signal that it can win-win with the five big companies and make money together, except for China Media, which responded relatively positively, the attitudes of several other companies, including Tang Yu Media, which has not yet been contacted, are very vague.

It's like, a little excited, but it's hard to hide worry.

The old Wang was puzzled - if they cooperate, it is good that Dunhuang is advancing, but at the same time, isn't the other party also advancing, what is there to worry about?Even in order to make the differentiation strategy effective, Dunhuang is willing to reluctantly give up the dominance of some films.

However, after trial and inquiry, the attitudes of all parties are still in a fog.

They don't know it for the time being. This is actually because the two parties have different cognitions, just like the stars who eat melons have different cognitions from their parties.

Lao Wang also explained his feelings after a round of dealings: "Although their hostility did not appear too obvious, I can feel that Dunhuang has been regarded by them as a threat that needs to be dealt with immediately, and the hostility value of Dunhuang is even more important. In terms of cooperation value..."

"So, there's nothing to talk about?" Wang Wei narrowed his eyes.

"We still have to talk about it, but if we can't reach an agreement, the conflict between the two sides will be put on the table, and such a good thing as an all-star guest appearance will never happen." Old Wang said regretfully.

After saying that, he lifted his spirits, waved his arms again, and said, "Anyway, it's better to take care of the benefits first. Hurry up and start shooting the scenes of this group of all-star lineups who express their wrong feelings first, lest they Repent."

Wang Wei snorted: "It's not that if you leave them, there will be no drama, and I'm still afraid that they will go back on their word?"

Then, after urgent preparations, Wang Wei's film with the most gorgeous lineup and the most "vulgar" content in history was launched!
