USA.

Columbia Film and Television City.

Summer comes to the crew of "Friends" and prepares to play a guest role in it.

A few days ago, when he came to the United States to promote, he promised Brookheimer that he could play a guest role for "Friends".

But because he only stayed in the United States for seven days, he ran from west to east, from south to north, and didn't really take time.

So in order not to break your promise and become fat, I had to find a way to make up for it now.

As soon as Xia Tian appeared on the crew, it immediately caused a sensation. Both the actors and the staff present all cheered enthusiastically.

The excitement is no less than that of fans seeing their beloved idols.

In fact, in the hearts of many Hollywood people, summer is more important than idols.

Idols can only be worshipped by people, but cannot be blessed by people. But summer can not only be worshipped by people, but also blessed by people, just like God.

If he could win his eyes, he would basically have no worries about filming. Who wouldn't care?

Xia Tian also waved to everyone with a smile, and then the producer and director invited him to the inner room.

It's not a place to talk so noisy.

"Mr. Xia, thank you for your visit. We are so honored." The producer smiled.

"You have to be so kind. You made this TV series so well and made so much money for me, so I should express my gratitude to you." Xia Tian smiled.

"Friends" has been in its third season so far. Because the ratings have always been good, the TV station is willing to buy it at a high price. Now, the price of an episode is as high as 8 million US dollars, which is a very expensive drama.

It shoots about 24 episodes per season, which means it can earn nearly 200 million US dollars in broadcast fees for the company. If you add the revenue from advertising implantation, peripheral development, etc., Tianxia Production can earn about 250 million US dollars by this drama alone. Excluding the cost, the net profit is also about 150 million US dollars, which can be said to be a big profit.

And this is just the first wave of revenue. In the future, the replay of "Friends" will still bring huge profits to the company. It is expected to exceed 3 billion US dollars.

...

"Mr. Xia, the character we prepared for you is the director of a movie. You cast a role for the role, and Joey went to the interview. In the first scene, he was in a hurry to go to the bathroom because he drank too much soda. This anxious mood was just in line with the role, so he successfully passed the interview. The second time, he wanted to repeat the same mistake, but the result was too much, and he was incontinent on the spot.

You don’t need to do too much, just do your true nature well. This is your line, you can see what needs to be added or deleted," the director explained to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian nodded after hearing this and looked at the script carefully.

To be honest, this arrangement is pretty good.

The two scenes, together, only two or three minutes, are very consistent with his requirements.

He didn't have many lines, so he finished reading it quickly and memorized it.

"Okay, let's do it, there's no problem." Xia Tian nodded and said.

"That's good, then we'll start filming right away." Seeing that Xia Tian had no problem, the director immediately clapped his hands.

He knew that Xia Tian took the time to come this time and gave him half an hour at most. So he didn't have time to rehearse back and forth, and he couldn't ask for too much.

In fact, if you follow the normal process, it will take two days for the actor to prepare for a scene.

Generally speaking, the shooting process of American dramas is like this. On the first day, the producer, director, and screenwriter meet and discuss the script; on the second and third day, the script is written; on the fourth day, the actors read the script and are familiar with the plot; on the fifth day, the rehearsal; on the sixth day, the filming; on the seventh day, the production and broadcasting.

However, summer is too busy and can't spend so much time. After completing the process, you can only make the payment.

...

Xia Tian then went to the backstage and prepared to take the stage to shoot.

"Mr. Xia~", "Mr. Xia~"...

The six people in "Friends" were also preparing in the backstage. When they saw Xia Tian, ​​they all smiled and said hello.

"Hello everyone~" Xia Tian smiled, "I haven't seen you for more than two years, you have become big stars."

"Where, Mr. Xia, you are the big star." When the six of them waved their hands and smiled when they heard this.

The popularity of "Friends" not only brought huge profits to the production of the world, but also led the six starring actors, becoming the most popular star in the United States.

Like Jennifer Aniston, before starring in this movie, he was just a little Hollywood actor. He was not considered a supporting actor, and the difference was not big.

But now, she is already the famous "American sweetheart" and is widely loved by Americans. Even her hairstyle is sought after and she is called "Rachel's Head". The new drama "The Disguised Wild" produced by the world also invites her to star, and filming will start soon.

Their pay has also doubled. At the beginning of the first season, their pay was only 22,000 US dollars per episode. Now their pay has increased to 125,000 US dollars per episode.

"Mr. Xia, thank you for recommending me to star in the movie "The Disguised Strange"." Jennifer Aniston said to Xia Tian again.

She had received a few days ago notice from her agent that she could star in the movie "The Disguised Strange" and it was recommended by Xia Tian herself. This news made her very happy.

For a TV actor, making a movie, no matter how much it costs, is a good thing for him.

Because the biggest difference between movies and TV is that movies require money to be seen. This proves the value of an actor.

Therefore, many TV actors are sharp and want to develop into the film industry. Film actors will choose to develop in the television industry unless they are so depressed that they cannot find a way out in the film industry.

There are countless examples of the former, such as Bruce Willis, Pierce Brosnan, George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston, etc., who are all famous for filming dramas and then enter the film industry. After gaining a foothold in the film industry, they have never filmed TV series again.

The most typical example of the latter is Charlie Sheen. When he was the most popular, he was a Hollywood movie star. The movies starring such as "The Field Platoon", "Wall Street", "Three Musketeers", etc., all have very good box office reputation and are hailed as the successor of Hollywood.

But unfortunately, Charlie Xin didn't love himself. In the 1990s, he kept exposing scandals of sucking, recruiting prostitutes, and even domestic violence, which made his image plummet. The box office failures of many movies starring him failed to gain a foothold in Hollywood, so he had to go to the TV drama industry to develop.

So Jennifer Aniston was very happy that she could participate in the movie. This meant that her grade had risen.
