Chapter 176 Starlight Project
However, Adu is not a director who is used to being controlled by actors. On the contrary, according to each of Adu's films, actors are basically used as props in his works, and they are absolutely not allowed to take over the spotlight. At that time, Wu Zhenyu's
The performance was too "funny", so the two had a big fight and vowed never to cooperate with each other again. Unexpectedly, Wu Zhenyu later won the Golden Horse Award for this film.
Has he reached the level of acting that forced the director to change his acting skills? Impossible! He still has this self-knowledge. After pondering for a moment, he thought that this might be something that could be solved. Looking at Chen Kexin who was looking at him eagerly, he smiled and said: "This
The key to the film is love. On one side is a crazy search, on the other side is extreme longing. I think when dealing with the other line, you can use a relatively contrasting way to express it, and that’ll be fine!”
Chen Kexin thought about it silently, and then realized that Xiao Ran was not only an actor, not only a boss, but also a director. He was also one of the best directors in Hong Kong. Although if he called Xiao Ran with such a title, Xiao Ran would definitely be ashamed, but
That's exactly what everyone thinks.
After some exchanges, the filming of the film resumed its original schedule. Xiao Ran has always been interested in Luo Lan, and he felt even more happy to be able to act opposite Luo Lan this time. This night, because Lin Qingxia did not have her own scene,
There's no need to come.
But she came anyway, bringing soup to Xiao Ran. After greeting Xiao Ran and Chen Kexin, Xiao Ran called Luo Lan, who was not very familiar with her: "Sister Luo, go and have some soup!"
Luo Lan was very beautiful when she was young. When Xiao Ran saw the photo of Luo Lan when he was young, he couldn't even believe that it was the famous ghost woman. However, it seems that people are like this when they are old and don't take care of themselves much. This is the case with Wu Mengda
, don’t think that Wu Mengda’s appearance is natural. Before the 1980s, he used to be very handsome and was a young boy. In a romance film in which he starred, Leslie Cheung had a small role.
It's a pity that Wu Mengda was obsessed with gambling when he was young, and he lost so much that even gods and ghosts refused to care about him. When he was at his most hesitant and helpless, luckily he thought of this super green leaf before starting the filming of "The Gambler" and cast him to play the third role.
The uncle role is a comeback this time. It's a pity that Hong Kong films have deteriorated in history, and even such an outstanding actor had to go to the mainland to act in TV series, showing off miserably without Zhou Xingchi's comedy skills.
Wu Mengda is a good actor! In Xiao Ran's impression, he also won the Best Supporting Actor once for "The Love of Heaven". However, Xiao Ran always felt that Uncle Da played in "Love in the City" between Li Ming and Wu Qianlian.
Father should also win an award. It was a great film, but it was a pity that it was buried.
"Sister Luo Lan, which company are you with now?" After drinking the soup, Xiao Ran took Lin Qingxia's hand and asked Luo Lan: "Play this role well. Believe me, as long as this film is successful, you will probably make more money all of a sudden."
Lots of film dates!"
Luo Lan looked at this young rich man and couldn't help but laugh. She thought Xiao Ran was an interesting young man. It was really interesting to have so much money and come to act. She obviously didn't believe what Xiao Ran said: "How can you be so so?
All the appointments you make are just making ends meet!"
"What? Is the agency underpaying you? The remuneration given by Phantom is very high!" Xiao Ran frowned. The supporting actors usually contact a company. If this company takes over a job from a big company,
They immediately started selecting suitable actors and sending them out for auditions. That’s why some girls who wanted to become stars were deceived by companies like this.
Of course, currently there is no such bold company in Hong Kong that dares to mess around, because Xiao Ran has strictly ordered that no one can damage the reputation of the film industry. Luo Lan laughed and waved his hands: "That's not true, but except for your Phantom, the pay is higher.
Besides, Jiahe’s remuneration is much lower.”
"It's Jiahe again!" Not only Xiao Ran frowned, but also Lin Qingxia frowned as if she had a tacit understanding. Lin Qingxia was very clear about what Xiao Ran wanted to do, and of course she knew Xiao Ran's intention to increase the pay.
, and Jiahe refused to increase the remuneration of the behind-the-scenes staff, supporting actors and even extras, which obviously caused some confusion in the market.
Let it go! Xiao Ran can even conclude that if Jiahe continues to be unwilling to make progress, he will definitely die within three years. Jiahe's assets would be as high as billions, of which financing and liabilities account for a large proportion.
Moreover, Jiahe Entertainment Company was still listed, but later almost went bankrupt in the late 1990s, but was finally suspended. If Xiao Ran wanted Jiahe to die, it would definitely not be difficult.
Ignoring this matter for the time being, he just looked at Luo Lan and chuckled: "Don't worry, Phantom has invested in many films. If you really act well and have your own characteristics, you will naturally be indispensable in life!"
Seeing Luo Lan happily rehearsing the next scene, Xiao Ran moved his eyes to the smiling face, holding her hand tenderly and considerately, feeling warm in his heart. They had already set a date for September.
They got married on the 20th, but Xiao Ran often had the idea that he couldn't wait to marry his sweetheart back home.
The filming progress of the film is not too slow. The marketing department, artist training department (that is, the agent department) and the security department have been split up. Wei Dongling is very busy, and the remaining Xiao Ran also has no limits. Because this building
The other floors of the building were purchased, and the headquarters of other subsidiaries are located here, which made it much easier. However, for many fans and movie fans, they are extremely lucky, because there are often staff coming in and out here.
He now took the time to go to Tianlai and roughly hummed out a few songs in his memory. Soon some people were stunned. Although Xiao Ran provided a few songs last time, they were obviously not as good as the current ones.
I was surprised at first.
However, there really weren't many Chinese songs worth paying attention to in Xiao Ran's impression. The ones provided this time were mainly English songs, songs whose names he didn't know but whose melody was absolutely beautiful. The rest of the work was left to Tian Lai's people.
, Xiao Ran was relaxed and extremely happy. Compared to Wei Dongling, he felt like he was in heaven.
After thinking about the classic variety show in his memory, Xiao Ran explained the prize winners and I guess the methods to the producers of ATV. ATV was still busy planning the next thing.
After such a busy period of time, the senior class house has been renovated and renovated, and you can move in after a while. On the day of the housewarming, many people were invited to a party. This was the end of everything, and the new
Everything is about to begin.
In June, Xiao Ran also came. This era has been four years. While feeling that four years can make a boy who was so poor that he almost entered the underworld become a rich man in Hong Kong, he was personally planning a starlight project.
This is an extremely huge plan, involving ATV, Teana, Phantom, and the already successfully spun-off Stars (Artist Training Department), which was renamed Miracle (Marketing Department), as well as Shuxiang Media, and joint investment.
The plan is simple and simple. It is to select the most talented, beautiful and distinctive artists from a group of artists, and promote them to become Asian superstars. This plan has been planned for a long time, and it is only now that specific details have been released.
plan.
In order to successfully gain market in Southeast Asia and even Europe and the United States, super idols are indispensable. The benefits brought by idols are absolutely huge. Regardless of anything else, as long as they succeed, Sihai will be in the sales of peripheral products such as dolls.
The constant loss situation can definitely be changed.
Idols are the key weapon to capture any entertainment market. The reason why Fa Ge's films are so popular in Southeast Asia is that, first of all, in addition to the fact that Hong Kong films are really popular and of good quality, the charm of idols is definitely very important.
The Starlight Project was very sophisticated. Phantom invested several million in this plan alone. Of course, the cost was later shared with ATV, Tianlai and Mingxing Company. In terms of selection, in addition to film actors, they need to have at least three years of experience.
In addition to performance experience, singers only need to have good enough skills and image, and program hosts also need to have enough experience, but TV drama actors do not have many requirements.
If selection is excluded, then the packaging of celebrity companies is the first step. Celebrities will give the selected artists the packaging that best suits their own image, and undergo rigorous training. Later, this training course was called hell by the lucky ones who were selected.
Death training.
Although Xiao Xin always associated this with the special training in "Lord of Destruction" and was extremely depressed, it proved that the effect was absolutely excellent. After the star company completed the training and extremely professional feature packaging, if it was
If you are an actor, then Phantom will create a sensational drama specially tailored for you. If you are a singer, then Tianlai will focus on promoting it. If you are a show host and TV actor, the approach will be similar.
In this process, the facilitator Shuxiang will play a role in fueling the flames and try to give as much length and content of reports as possible. Miracle Company must create a marketing plan for each artist from the beginning that suits his personality and characteristics, and
Sihai also needs to focus on building the image of these artists and selling their products.
This is the Starlight Plan, which has been secretly turned into a one-stop service by the senior executives of several major companies. This one-stop service is really the best. From selection to packaging to marketing, as long as you can get on this chariot and become popular, it will be
Something for sure.
All kidding aside, even a fool can see how huge this plan is. Moreover, this plan is not just executed once, but is a plan that has always existed and been perfected. Twenty to twenty-five people were selected for the first year of the Starlight Project.
On average, each person needs to invest 80 million, including movies, records, etc. Of course, this only refers to investment, not pure loss.
There is no doubt that among them, film actors and singers account for the largest proportion. As for film actors, Zhou Runfa, Liu Hua, and Liang Chaowei have just joined. As for actresses, only Feng Fei has been confirmed for the time being.
Son.
Xiao Ran originally planned to include Li Jiaxin among them, but unfortunately she has not been trained yet, and if she wins the championship, she will need to do some publicity on behalf of Hong Kong for a full year. As for singers, the band Beyond is currently scheduled.
As well as Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang, as well as Liu Hua and Zhang Xueyou, plus sisters Shuanghua.
However, a few days later, Xiao Ran read the newspaper and immediately screamed, "Oh no!" because this plan was actually revealed in the newspaper. Of course, the newspaper did not mention it in detail. It just vaguely pointed out that Phantom was planning to make some people famous.
This was really an irritating thing. In the following time, Xiao Ran was pestered by everyone. He wanted to cut his head to get into this list. The only good thing was that the media didn't know much.
In this regard, Xiao Ran was very helpless. After selecting for a while, he finally finalized the above list. In addition, after asking Zhong Chuhong whether he would continue to stay in the film industry, and getting the exact answer, Zhong Chuhong was also on the list. Su Renyao and Feng
Feier is also on this list.
The only thing that makes Xiao Ran depressed is that he has never been sure whether Lin Qingxia is going to be in it. Logically speaking, Lin Qingxia doesn't need to take on any more roles, but Xiao Ran can't bear to see his sweetheart become a vase at home.
.Besides, it would be a pity not to make use of such a good actor.
But Xiao Ran didn't like it very much. Maybe no man likes his wife to be intimate with other men on the screen. In response, Lin Qingxia just poked Xiao Ran's head and said: "Nonsense, you have to ask them to dare."
ah!"
Only then did Xiao Ran realize that, damn, no one would dare to kiss Xiao Ran's wife, unless she didn't want to get involved. However, as long as there were no nudity scenes or intimate scenes, Xiao Ran didn't care. After all, this is the thinking of the 21st century.
If you can't even accept a hug in the movie, your life in the 21st century has been wasted. Of course, don't even think about sex scenes. I believe no one would be that stupid.
A few days later, in the general manager's office of ATV, Xiao Ran, who came to take charge of ATV in person, carefully browsed several planning reports. In fact, Xiao Ran, the Super Invincible Award disciple, was not able to see the ones in the years after they were founded, but only the ones at the back. At that time
He always felt that the people on the show were all less famous celebrities, but after reading this planning document, he realized that it was not that simple.
From the perspective of ATV, this program is firstly a program to increase ratings, and secondly, it can promote its contracted artists, or give some less famous stars some opportunities to appear. From this perspective, superstars like Zhou Runfa,
Or Liu Hua, who has already become a first-line star, has no need to participate in this show to increase his popularity.
Besides, stars like Zhou Runfa may not be allowed to play games. Therefore, those who often appear on the show are either ordinary stars or artists affiliated with the company. In this way, resources can be considered a rational use.
After browsing the program, Xiao Ran quickly nodded in agreement, but he still had one request for this program. He raised his head and said to Zhu Guangli: "First of all, this program is for the whole of Hong Kong, suitable for men, women, old and young.
Chapter completed!
