152. About the matter of becoming famous
Regarding fame, Xia Yuan later summarized it as follows:
First of all, a person's fame is proportional to his exposure. For example, Fan Ye and Ab, even if they don't make movies, they may not have a single work in a few years. However, as long as they continue to be topical and can generate exposure, they can be remembered by people.
Therefore, in order to increase exposure, many artists will selectively display variety shows in the stage of no filming, and at the same time, some news is constantly coming out, making their names continue to be remembered.
Of course, it would be best if it could be well-known for its work. Xia Yuan also looked forward to the early arrival of this day.
But in fact, this is indeed a long process.
The shooting process of a drama is as long as one month, as many as 3 or 5 months, and even more than half a year of filming.
Then, after the shooting is over, editing and processing must be carried out. If it is a science fiction film or requires a large proportion of post-production, the processing process will be longer and will last for a few months to a year. After this period, the sample will be submitted to the relevant departments for review. If there is no relationship during the review process, there will be a long queue, ranging from about half a year to several years.
When you can really get the Dragon Chapter, maybe two to three years have passed since you first filmed that movie, and it will be released and fermented at this time.
If the quality of movies and TV series is excellent and can achieve good market reactions and audience reputation, your fame will slowly be revealed, otherwise you will continue to fall into the previous cycle until you encounter a good script one day.
Xia Yuan is now in the middle of this cycle:
"The Demon Hunter" was launched early and was broadcast on major websites around January of the year. Unfortunately, Xia Yuan only played a villain with not many roles. In addition, the acting skills of the male and female protagonists were slightly awkward, which led to the drama opening high and ending low. The final results and reputation were not ideal, so there was not much communication.
Then there are "Captain China" and "Divine Soldiers Come from the Sky". The completion time of these two dramas is relatively close, with a gap of less than 3 months, but it is obvious that the post-production of Captain China accounts for the majority. The most important thing about this movie is to create a science fiction blockbuster that belongs to the Chinese. There are many special effects productions required. Most of the fight plots are completed in front of the green screen. It is estimated that it will take half a year to a year to complete the production, so it is estimated that the Chinese Captain will not be released by the end of this year.
It is more likely that the magic weapon can be seen in autumn. With the joining of Huang Bo and Su Qin, it should create a lot of topicality.
As for the relaxed comedy romance movie "There is a Vampire Husband at Home" starring Xia Yuan himself, it is estimated that there will be hope of being introduced from abroad until the end of next year.
A summary of this sentence is-
Xia Yuan is still a young 18th-tier actor with little fame. Even if he has the capital to become famous, he is still in the most primitive accumulation stage. It is not until he truly makes his mark. In addition, his classmates don’t care about these things, so it is normal for him to enter the entertainment industry.
...
Su Qin has not been idle recently during the rest of Xia Yuan and is helping to contact the crew to win roles for Xia Yuan.
However, the film and television industry has been a bit sluggish in the past two years. There are a lot of commercial films, but few of them have high quality. When the market frustrated them, no one knows what to shoot now.
After a long time, I really couldn't find a suitable crew, but there was one of the scripts in my hand that was pretty good. It was delivered to Su Qin by a young screenwriter with a friend, hoping to get her favor.
After watching it myself, Su Qin thought it should be good to change it, and the male protagonist is particularly suitable for Xia Yuan, who is the kind who is restrained and capable of fighting.
Later, at a dinner party, Su Qin explored the news with some familiar big bosses. Finally, a company was willing to invest in her for shooting, so the matter was settled.
Of course, the premise is that their company's advertisements must be implanted in the movie and box office sharing.
In fact, this situation is also a rule in the industry. People who know the industry must accept it, but it depends on how to implant it in a natural and harmonious way.
The investor's move was very generous. He invested 500 million yuan in Su Qin at once, and she would also invest part of it herself, so the crew soon started to pull up.
Basically, they are all using their own people:
The male lead Xia Yuan, the female lead Duan Qian, and the female lead Jiang Xiaoling.
Director Su Qin
Producer Su Qin
Producer: Tengda Pictures, Water Heart Studio
...
Xia Yuan was confused when he saw this operation.
He was decided before he even read the script.
"Is this reliable?"
Su Qin's face turned cold, "Are you doubting my aesthetic ability or directorial level?"
"I……"
Xia Yuan thought to himself, I actually doubt it.
But on the surface, I didn't dare to say it out loud, and just asked tentatively: "Director Su, which movie have you directed before?"
"Emm... this one doesn't have, this drama should be my debut."
Su Qin curled her lips, "But don't worry, I will find a good assistant director."
"this……"
But Xia Yuan turned the contract and was a little scared by the numbers above.
"5 million, so much?"
"Hahahaha..." Su Qin looked at Xia Yuan's surprised look and smiled so hard that she leaned back and forth.
Xia Yuan frowned and looked at her with annoyance.
Compared with his previous income, 5 million is indeed quite a lot.
Don’t blame others for not seeing the world. I can only say that my requirements are not high.
Su Qin stopped laughing and sat on the desk with her hands in her arms, just like when she saw Xia Yuan on the first day.
"These 5 million are not all yours," she said with a smile. "You forgot that you have a 37-point account with the company. In fact, you can only get 1.5 million, and you have to deduct taxes."
Yes, Xia Yuan thought to himself, why did I forget this?
"We also invested in the drama ourselves. The main members of the crew are all their own people, which is equivalent to putting the money from one pocket to another,"
Su Qin looked at Xia Yuan's eyes and explained patiently, "But, after this, your salary will increase from less than 2 million before to 5 million. If you take on the show later, your value will increase."
"Damn it, no wonder people say there is no traitor... Sister Qin, you are so wise. You are simply a very trick and admirable."
Xia Yuan gave her a big thumb
Su Qin lowered her head, looked at Xia Yuan with a smile, and sneered twice.
...
The new drama was written by a young screenwriter named Fu Yu. He is quite talented and is a rich second generation. Part of this drama was invested by his family.
Xia Yuanqing couldn't help but think, why is Yu Asara the same? Now this person named Fu Yu is the same. What do the rich second generation think these days?
If you don’t inherit a good family business, you have to compete with ordinary people for jobs. Are you still shameless?
The new drama is called "Detective Charlotte", which is a detective film as the name suggests. However, the detective Charlotte in the drama is different from ordinary detectives. He is a rich second generation, and being a detective is his interest. Sometimes the money spent on solving the case is more than the reward he receives, but Charlotte doesn't care about these things. He only enjoys the process of solving the mystery and catching the murderer.
In addition to being rich, Charlotte is also handsome, quick-witted, and extremely combat-ready (in all aspects), and has won the favor of many women. At the same time, this advantage has also allowed him to receive help from many women in the process of handling the case, and of course, he suffered a lot of losses because of this.
The character is quite likable, it is the mainstream popular now. Moreover, the plot itself is really interesting. It is full of fog and has various reversals and accidents, which makes people amazed. Damn it turns out that it is...
The only point of complaint is—
Is this designed according to the screenwriter himself?
It also describes the situation at the hero's home in detail, including the luxury car he used to smash it with several different brands.
Putting aside this, the various emotional lines are handled ingeniously. The woman played by Jiang Xiaoling is a dangerous and charming frost beauty. The interaction with her is a highlight. Duan Qian plays the right-hand assistant of the detective, silently helping him behind the scenes, a confidant in life, and at the same time she has an IQ.
When Xia Yuan finished reading the script, he found that it was already past 3 a.m.
Su Qin's eyes were indeed like a torch. The script was indeed good. He hadn't read such a fascinating script for a long time. It was like reading a wonderful book that made people love it.
Taking advantage of Xia Yuan's relationship, he returned Chen Dan to serve as a martial arts coach, and then invited a group of actors with great combat effectiveness from abroad to serve as villains and martial arts substitutes. With Chen Dan's own team, this drama has no big problems in action.
...
Next, Su Qin wants to let Xia Yuan get into the role, so she is going to take him to experience life.
Unlike the way rich people pretend to behave, Su Qin took Xia Yuan to a private art training school called [Yixin Art] and asked Xia Yuan to go to the principal's office to talk about investment.
"Listen to me."
Although there was no dust falling, Su Qin still dusted the Armani gray casual suit worn by Xia Yuan.
Then he said with a smile, "The principal of this school is a beautiful woman. Although she is almost 40 years old, she is very well maintained, has outstanding figure and face, and has a first-class temperament. After you go in, you will tell her that if she is willing to date you at night, then you will give the school a thousand Apple laptops."
"This is not a question of whether it is beautiful or not," Xia Yuan hesitated a little, "Director, isn't this good?"
"You don't understand, you can't do it well, just because you don't have the heart."
"I...I said it's because the nature is not very good, right?"
"What's the matter? We invite others to dinner. Although we don't really invest money, at least she made a meal. And the business ended up being much worse. People have also seen the storm and will not care about the fact that it did not succeed in the end."
Su Qin put his hand on Xia Yuan's neck, "I just let you feel what the charm of money is."
I……
Xia Yuan scolded the screenwriter in his heart, "Fu Yu, you bastard, why did you set the male lead as such a rich detective?"
