The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 89 I want you to show the strength of the actor
Ouyang Ke, an old drama player who was nearly fifty years old, returned home, threw the keys on the coffee table, slumped weakly on the sofa, and looked up at the ceiling.

The manager, who was already sitting on the sofa, knew what was going on when he saw Ouyang Ke's downcast expression.

He still failed to fight for the role of "Shooting the Condors"!

The agent moved his buttocks and sat beside him, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Let's just say that martial arts dramas are not suitable for you, let's move on! This audition, I got acquainted with Dunhuang, so I don't know." loss."

Ouyang Ke still stared fixedly at the ceiling and finally sighed.

He knew that what the manager said was right, but it was just a little hard to understand.

This year's summer vacation has begun to come to an end, but there are still several strong blockbusters fighting in full swing.

Two blockbuster films released in early August, Tang Yu Media's disaster film "Doomsday", collided head-on with Hollywood's "Die Hard 2", occupying the first and second positions in the box office rankings respectively.

The mythical masterpiece "Wrath of the Buzhou Mountain" followed closely... The most surprising thing is "Genius Gunner", even after a month of release, it still has not fallen out of the top five box office rankings, and the domestic total box office has remained calm. Climbing towards 5 million, 6 million, 6.5 million.

Many filmmakers believe that the results of this year's summer film competition may herald changes in the industry structure in the next few years-traditional forces are still strong, foreign forces are joining in to disrupt the situation, and emerging forces are eyeing...

The momentum in Dunhuang continues to be hot.

In particular, Dunhuang immediately announced that it would cooperate with Tang Yigong to enter the field of TV dramas, adding fuel to its already strong momentum.

For such a thriving company, there are only advantages and no disadvantages if we make friends early.

Ouyang Keben, who is obsessed with martial arts, has a friendship with Tang Yigong's team. After the production team of "Shooting the Condor" started preparations, he took aim at the role of "Xi Du" Ouyang Feng, who has the same surname as him.

Nai He still lost the role because of a mixed face.

——Ouyang Ke's father is Chinese, and his mother is German, with high browbones and deep eye sockets. He was born with a pair of deep blue eyes.

Against the background of the Cold War between the East and the West, Ouyang Ke, who is of mixed race, has a very clear positioning since he entered the entertainment circle - to play various Western villains.

After so many years, he has long been recognized by the industry as an old villain.

However, as the Cold War eased and the exchanges between China Entertainment and Hollywood deepened day by day, Ouyang Ke found that his road was getting narrower and narrower.

On the one hand, it is the overall trend of "little fresh meat soars, and old dramas are not applauded", and on the other hand, he is caught in the dilemma of repeating roles.

In order to enrich the drama, he even took aim at the very few martial arts dramas suitable for his role.

Ran and egg.

Knowing his depression, the agent thought about it, and changed the subject: "It is said that you got acquainted with director Wang Wei during the audition? Maybe he will support you."

Speaking of this topic, Ouyang Ke became more energetic: "Director Wang Wei, he is very nice!"

"I originally thought that he was the kind of genius who was relentless and blind, but I didn't expect that in reality he is a young man with a very humble attitude."

From the audition, it was obvious that Wang Wei was not very interested in Xiaohua and Xiaoxianrou, but was able to chat well with behind-the-scenes celebrities like Cheng Qidong and veteran actors like him.

That kind of respect is not pretending, but a genuine desire to make friends with you.

This doubled everyone's favor towards Wang Wei.

Well, his grades are awesome, even if he is arrogant, no one thinks there is anything wrong with him; but he has already made pretty good grades, and he can always maintain an equal attitude, Ouyang Ke thinks this person is terrible. pay.

However, Ouyang Ke still poured cold water: "Although he claims to like to use old dramas to ensure quality and fresh meat to ensure popularity, there are too many old dramas that he can chat with. Can't think of me, it's not necessarily true."

In his opinion, the story of getting acquainted with the director casually, being appreciated and supported, and finally becoming famous overnight is just a story made up to deceive those rookies who have just entered the circle. In reality, how is it possible!
The manager shrugged and said indifferently: "Anyway, it's always a good thing to have a good relationship with a rising genius director."

This is true.

——What it means to form a good relationship with a future great director, even Ouyang Ke understands what the agent doesn't say.

Directors like Wang Wei, who have made money every time and never failed, are few in the whole circle.

This requires not only strong ability and abnormal market sense, but also enough strong luck.

The latter point is especially important.

——Ouyang Ke felt that he couldn't be more unlucky than the big villain who was obviously good-looking, but after so many years of being a villain whose role became more and more weird.

But, there are as many people in the circle who want to cooperate with Wang Wei as crucian carp crossing the river, and they don't know when they will be lucky and experience Wang Wei's strong luck.

Ouyang Ke wiped his face and said with a smile: "Okay, don't comfort me, I didn't have much hope..."

The phone rang suddenly, interrupting his words.

People really can't bear to talk about it, but at first glance, it is Wang Wei's number.

Ouyang Ke shuddered, exchanged glances with his manager, and quickly connected the phone.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wang Wei explained his intentions.

As soon as Ouyang Ke heard it, he immediately felt that his whole body was full of energy from inside to outside, from top to bottom, "...You mean, you want to invite me to be the leading actor in your new movie?"

The manager opened his mouth wide and winked at him frantically—Mo Dan, hurry up and agree!
Wang Wei's new movie!

Based on his experience in China Entertainment, it can be said that this movie is basically made up of successful elements——

A talented commercial film director who has proven himself many times and is on the rise;

With the prestige of a movie, a large amount of funds gathered;
Stable and mature behind-the-scenes production team;
Due to the enemy's bombardment, the natural attention...

Of course Ouyang Ke also knew, he replied as calmly as possible: "I can."

Then I heard Wang Wei laughing, and——

"...Not only can you, I need you to use [-]% of your energy to make this movie a classic; I need you to show your strength as an actor and create the best villain in movie history... "

Ouyang Ke remained in a state of shock until he hung up the phone.

The manager scratched his head anxiously, "How to say, how to say?"

Ouyang Ke turned his head slowly, and murmured: "I, the villain of Wannian, he wants me to be the best actor? God! I can't even think about it."

The manager immediately got off the sofa with a carp, and his head and face were shining with excitement, "Sun, you are really lucky, Wang Wei is trying his best to win the prize!"

"It's just that a villain of yours is actually the protagonist? His new film is very unusual!"
