Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 322 The Rules of the Entertainment Industry
If a team can make a movie, they can actually make a TV series.

The biggest difference between the two is actually the director.

In a film project, the director is usually the soul because he has to participate in the creative process, including what shots to use to express what during the filming process. These are all things that require the director to think about.

But in TV drama projects, directors are more inclined to execution, and their execution is higher than creativity. Generally, the producer will look for a director only after the script is finalized.

TV dramas are more about the plot, and no one cares about what the camera expresses. Especially for domestic TV dramas, it is good enough if you can pay attention to the editing.

This is also the reason why "Before Dawn" was so popular in the previous life.

The editing techniques of American TV series are fast and sharp, and the plot changes are even faster than movies, so of course people can't stop watching.

I'll leave you a hook at the end, enough to hook you so much that you won't be able to eat or sleep well.

Speaking of this, Zhang Chen suddenly remembered the development history of domestic TV dramas in later generations.

It seems that since 06, the world has been dominated by mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas. "Double-Sided Adhesive Tape" and "The Good Times of Wife" have become hits one after another. Hai Qing made her debut with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas.

All kinds of trivial matters.

Later, the type of overbearing president appeared, which was completely illogical.

Prince and Cinderella, that's a fairy tale, not reality~
Frankly speaking, the two types of dramas, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas and domineering CEOs, have directly led to an increasing number of little fairies in China, an increasing number of older single women, a higher single rate, a higher cheating rate, a higher divorce rate, and a higher rate of non-biological children in paternity testing.

He had the plot outlines of these dramas in his mind, but he was not sure whether he should make this type of drama.

And then there are the even more ridiculous "Home Cooking", "Love in the Courtyard", and "My Children, My Home". What the hell are these?
Their values ​​are totally distorted and there is not a single good person among them.

"Under the Zhengyang Gate" is similar. The Su Meng family is so annoying to watch.

It makes people feel very upset.

Forget it, I'll just take it one step at a time. At worst, I can just produce more quality dramas myself.

Alas, there are not so many peaceful days. It is the time travelers who are carrying the burden and moving forward.

"Okay, that's all for today. Everyone go back to work. Mr. Dong, I have something else to tell you~"

After sending everyone away, Zhang Chen said, "You need to get the film and television adaptation rights for several novels. One is called "Lush", written by Long Yi, another is called "Aftershock", and the other is called "Lawsuit". Try to get the film and television adaptation rights for these three novels. If they have been sold to others, discuss buying them~"

"Everything is fine?"

This question was purely a subconscious reaction, and he already had the answer as soon as he asked it.

Over such a long period of time, Zhang Chen has proved his vision with continuous success.

Zhang Chen nodded.

Not to mention "Insidious", the culmination of spy war dramas.

"Aftershock" is the prototype of Feng Xiaogang's "Aftershock".

On the one hand, Zhang Chen wanted to intercept Feng Xiaogang's Hu by grabbing the adaptation rights of this novel, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use this to give China in 08 a heads-up in advance.

"The Lawsuit" is the prototype of "Assembly". Originally, it was Zhang Guoli who first took a fancy to this novel and recommended it to Feng Xiaogang, hoping that it would become a work that would suit the general public.

Later, the two broke up, and Feng Xiaogang took "Assembly" to Huayi, which became a huge hit after it was filmed.

Xiao Gangpao felt a little guilty about this and specially invited Zhang Guoli and his family to travel.

But this life of Taihe Minzhong fell apart prematurely because of Zhang Chen, and Feng Xiaogang probably didn't have the chance to come into contact with this novel.

After explaining all this, Dong Jianqiang was about to say something when Zhang Chen's phone rang. It was Zhang's father calling.

He made an apologetic gesture: "Wait a moment, my dad is calling..."

Zhang Chen connected:
"Xiaochen, what you said to my friend's daughter really worked. After your call, she changed her mind and no longer insisted on going to Beijing Film Academy."

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly: "What else can I say? I'll just tell her the truth and tell her some dirty things in the entertainment industry. If she can accept it, I won't stop her. If she can't accept it, she should change direction as soon as possible..."

"What kind of dirty method is it? Can you tell me in detail? I'm curious. My old friend is also curious, but when I ask her daughter, she won't tell me~"

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly again: "Dad, I can't tell you too much detail, but it's basically all about unspoken rules, but it's more detailed, maybe it's different from the entertainment industry she imagined, so she gave up~"

How did he talk about this topic with his father?
Does this mean that if actresses want to become famous, they have to sleep with men?

Don’t even mention whether you’re famous or not, even if you want to get a chance you have to sleep with him.

In this circle, you have to be willing to take risks to stand out.

Being good-looking means nothing in this circle. What the entertainment industry lacks the least is good-looking appearance.

In this huge world of fame and fortune, human resources are always in greater supply than demand. There are so many young men and women who think they have some capital because they are young and beautiful and dream of becoming big stars. They are like crops and leeks in the fields, one crop after another, and there is no way to harvest them all...

If he really dared to say that, his father would definitely ask him: "What about you? Did you cut the leeks?"

How will he answer then?

Could it be that I am the sharpest sickle?

After that, his father might not do anything to him, but his mother would definitely beat him to death.

You little bastard, you play with women~
But this is how the world is.

In this circle, treating mating as socializing is the norm. If you can't let go, you will never have a chance to stand out.

Going to bed is like handing in a resume.

It’s not certain whether it will be successful or not, at most you can just become familiar to others.

His dad will definitely ask, why has it never been exposed when it is so messy.

Of course there are.

There is a person named Zhang Yu who has been exposed, but it's useless if you can attract those famous directors and have some traffic. The people who are lurking around with her are just some passers-by whose names have never been heard of. Who would care?

The final result is that this person completely disappeared from the entertainment industry and was never found again.

Those people exposed by him can continue to do what they are supposed to do and live a good life.

This is the rule, individuals should not think of challenging the rules.

In China, it is still called the unspoken rule, but abroad, people have a special term for it, called the "red sofa".

Dong Jianqiang saw that Zhang Chen looked strange, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. The kid of one of my dad's friends wanted to be a star, so I helped her." "A coal boss?"

"Ah."

Zhang Chen sighed: "The coal boss is rich, but it's useless to be rich. Isn't Jing Tian rich enough? But at most he doesn't need to be seduced, but it's not that easy to become famous."

Dong Jianqiang deeply agrees with this.

He has seen many girls like this, and when he has nothing to do, he also plays the role of the sickle.

"By the way, when are you leaving?"

"Maybe in two days. They've urged me several times, but I have to settle my parents."

Dong Jianqiang said with some regret: "Well, in a few days, Taken should have grossed over 200 million yuan. Why don't you just wait until after the celebration party before leaving..."

Zhang Chen waved his hand: "Forget it, you can have the celebration banquet if you want, I really don't know."

"Taken" is still in theaters, with box office revenue approaching 1.9 million, but no one is paying attention to the box office anymore.

Because everyone feels that it is well deserved.

The action scenes and gun battle scenes in "Hurricane" are really outstanding.

Not only people in China are commenting on this, but people abroad are also commenting on it.

That’s right, more than half a month later, “Hurricane” was also released overseas.

In the 20th century, Fox was very confident about "The Hurricane" and released it in 2500 theaters.

"Hurricane" has been a hot topic since its release. People haven't seen such an exciting action movie for a long time.

Some media have already shouted the slogan: "Taken" redefines action scenes.

The news was even more shocking when it reached the country.

"This is only the first week. It is said that the number of cinemas will increase to 3200 next week..." Dong Jianqiang became excited when talking about this.

Zhang Chen was also very happy. Although the box office had nothing to do with him and he could only earn fame at most, it would definitely be beneficial to his next movie.

With the successful example of "Hurricane", I believe "A Quiet Place" will sell better.

The next day, rumors spread in the circle that Xingchen Entertainment was preparing to produce a new drama with a spy war theme.

The spy war theme is absolutely unpopular, but many people ask about it.

That’s how it is in the circle.

You have succeeded, and as long as you have not failed, everyone will believe that you will continue to succeed.

What is the subject matter?
Before "Wulin Wai Zhuan", there had never been a costume sitcom in China, but it was still made popular by Xingchen Entertainment.

Therefore, people also believe that this spy war drama will be a hit.

Along with this news came an audition invitation for "Search".

It has been made clear that Zhang Chen is only a nominal producer, but people still flock to him.

Zhang Chen's name is so famous in the film industry that all female stars believe that as long as they hook up with Zhang Chen, they will be able to soar to fame.

Fan Xiaopang is the best proof.

Didn't she, a girl who could only play the role of a maid, only rise to prominence after she climbed onto Zhang Chen's bed?
Zhao Yanzi received an audition invitation~
Gao Yuanyuan also received an audition invitation~
At the same time, they also heard some gossip that Zhao Yanzi seemed to be recommended by Zhang Guoli, and Gao Yuanyuan was recommended by Zhang Chen.

But the leading party this time seems to be not Zhang Chen, but Zhang Guoli.

Of course there were more than just these two actresses who came to audition, there were also some others, all of whom had connections in various fields.

Of course they also heard the rumors.

But no one believes in fate.

Everyone believes that if you give me a fulcrum, I can move the earth.

Give me a chance and I can go against the current.

Haven’t you heard that Zhang Chen only proposed Gao Yuanyuan, and she is not the only one, so there is still a chance.

Who doesn't know how to intercept?
This time, Gao Yuanyuan became the most anxious person.

The agent asked, "How is your relationship with Mr. Zhang Guoli?"

Da Meiyuan thought for a moment and said, "Normally, although we worked together in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", we hardly had any scenes together and only said a few words to each other. I'm considered a familiar face..."

In Su Youpeng's version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", the beautiful girl is Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Guoli is Cheng Kun.

The agent was very disappointed: "No wonder they didn't recommend you, but recommended Zhao Yanzi instead."

Da Meiyuan was worried: "What are my chances of winning?"

The agent said bluntly: "It's hard to say, Zhao Yanzi's acting skills can beat you, and I heard that Zhang Guoli has the final say this time."

Da Meiyuan frowned when she heard this: "Then what should I do?"

After listening to her agent's analysis a few days ago, she also felt that she should not always make art films, and wanted to transform into commercial films. In terms of commercial films, Xingchen Entertainment is the only one who can dominate the entire film industry.

"Since Zhang Chen recommended you, it means he thinks highly of you. But Search is not a blockbuster movie, so it probably doesn't rank high in his mind.

But this is your best chance.

I'll try to get you in touch with him and make friends with him first. Didn't you say a few days ago that you really liked "Taken" and that you're a fan of Zhang Chen? It shouldn't be a big deal for fans and idols to meet each other..."

As Gao Yuanyuan's agent, he knows this person too well.

If you tell her to sacrifice herself, that definitely won't work.

But Gao Yuanyuan is a love-brained person.

As long as Gao and Zhang Chen come into contact, given Gao's personality, it would be difficult for him not to be deeply involved.

This person has a strong desire to explore and likes to make decisions on his own.

Let’s communicate with each other. With Zhang Chen’s reputation, hasn’t he got the role?
