Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 174 Casting for "Crazy" (2)

The reason is that when Zhang Tianyu first debuted, he was actually a very powerful actor.

Twenty or thirty years ago, the film and television industry was not like it is now. The intensity was still very high, there were many talented actors, and it was not so chaotic. Zhang Tianyu was able to quickly break through the siege, make a name for herself in the industry, and become familiar to countless fans.

It can be imagined that he does have strength.

But the good times didn't last long. After filming several movies and gradually establishing his reputation, he also discovered certain problems in his contract.

Because I had just graduated, I was careless for a while and did not notice some pitfalls in the contract, which led to me signing a contract to sell myself.

This resulted in that, although his fame grew, in fact most of the profits, basically as high as 80%, were taken away by the agency.

Later he wanted to change the contract.

At that time, he thought that he was at least a trump card of the company. The entire company had signed contracts with so many actors, but he was the only one who achieved any results.

He also had a certain degree of confidence, thinking that the company would not let him go so easily. After all, he was a cash cow. If he was forced to leave, the company would suffer a huge loss.

So he went to the company to negotiate.

But who would have thought that this would have no effect at all and the company would not buy it.

On the contrary, after he brought up the matter several times, his relationship with the company became increasingly tense.

Later, the company made a direct decision to put him on ice.

For a long time afterwards, because he signed a ten-year contract, he did not have the opportunity to film any movies for a full ten years!

He had a very torturous life during these ten years. It was not until his contract with the company expired that he tried to continue taking on acting jobs. However, the reality was that no one wanted him.

He knew that he had been eliminated, and in the past ten years, he also understood a lot of things that he had not figured out before.

For example, for capitalists, it is not important whether poor people can drink your milk, but it is important whether the milk will flow into the market in large quantities, causing a decrease in demand and affecting the price of milk.

So they would pour buckets into the river.

Just like an extremely poignant line in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" he was watching at that time.

"What? All the silver was given to the poor? What a sin! What a sin!"

Too spicy.

Therefore, the name Xia Yuan was well-known to him, and he even admired it.

What kind of director can produce such a work?

Just like pouring milk, it doesn’t matter if Zhang Tianyu makes a little less profit in the contract.

What’s important is whether giving benefits to Zhang Tianyu alone will affect the thinking of other actors in the company, causing them to do the same, or whether they will not be able to sign such contracts with actors in the future. This is very important.

Therefore, they would rather not make such a small profit from Zhang Tianyu than give up the profit!
But in the eyes of these industry capitals, your uniqueness as an actor is actually not that strong. In their eyes, you are just a tool to make money, which is no different from any other industry.

Unless you as an actor have reached a certain level and already possess a great amount of influence, so great that the company cannot survive without you.

Otherwise, counting on the mercy of capital? You might as well pray that wings can grow on sows, which is more reliable.

This is what happens to an actor who chooses the wrong company.

The company he had chosen before was called Ju Yue Xing Ze Entertainment. It has now become a relatively large entertainment economic company. In recent years, it has also boarded the fast lane of traffic streaming and made a lot of money by taking the route of traffic idols.

I heard that they are planning to reach the top level in the near future.

If nothing unexpected happens, it's basically a done deal.

But even if they are like this now, they cannot erase what they once did to Zhang Tianyu.

But even though Zhang Tianyu hated it, he also understood that his influence was insignificant. How could an 18th-tier company like him shake up an agency that was about to enter the ranks of the wealthy?
And similarly, although these companies exist and everyone knows about them, it does not affect the huge crowds who still want to get into this glamorous place.

Therefore, there has never been a shortage of actors in the circle. If you are forgotten, I'm sorry, there will always be someone who can replace you.

"The domestic entertainment industry is about to end." Zhang Tianyu, who was already haggard, sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Although he is now filled with anger towards the current state of this circle and industry, he finds it difficult to express.

He also knew that it was almost impossible to resolve this situation!
This is no longer something that one person or one company can do.

There has to be someone who can make the capitalists in the entire industry starve to death and unable to make money if they don't change their ways. Only when they are really hungry can this situation be truly changed.

Is this possible? Is it really possible that someone like this could emerge and change an entire industry on their own?
It is difficult to describe and express with just one word.

Of course, it’s not something that a small-time actor like him who is struggling to maintain his status as an 18th-tier actor can think of.

What he wanted most now was to fill his stomach. After so many years of experience, this young and powerful actor who was full of vigor and vitality at the time became taciturn and even had a feeling of depression and frustration.

I feel like I am shrinking and hesitating.

There is no way. These are the pains and changes brought by life. He also knows that if he continues to be so decadent, he may have no chance at all, because who would be willing to use an actor who looks so decadent and depressed?
Even if you say you have the ability, so what? Maybe people will eliminate you because of your appearance.

The acting industry is really cruel.

Zhang Tianyu also knew that he had to regain his confidence, but every time he failed, his lack of confidence deepened, and then it got even worse the next time.

This is a vicious circle, a very frustrating vicious circle. He knows that he is stuck in internal friction and there is no way to change!

And now, there is another opportunity.
Casting for “Rampage”?

Zhang Tianyu looked at the message on his phone, and began to become interested and eager to take action.

During this period, he has been running around for various auditions and castings and has never stopped.

There was even the matter of his old employer with whom he had conflicts, because he knew that they seemed to have recently been in contact with Xie Daga, and were planning to form a crew to remake the recently popular IP drama "Drawing Sword", to be called "Thunder Warrior".

All the actors were selected from Juyuexingze Entertainment.

When he first debuted, he was very tough, confident, and full of vigor.

But now, life has taught him a lot, and he thought, as a human being, it is inevitable to bend down, and in his current state, bending down again is not a big deal.

So he happily bought a lot of things and went to find his former agent.

Then he bowed and scraped to the agent who had been fawning on him in the past, trying to seek an opportunity.

But she didn't even bother to look at him straight in the eye, and said bluntly: "In this era, what else can you play? Let's not waste each other's time. There is no room for the new drama. As for you, don't say too much. The company has done its best for you and has supported you for so many years. Let's just live our own lives. The opportunity for cooperation is gone."

He was rejected severely, and he even remembered the other party's disdainful look when he left.

That is unabashed.

No one even took a liking to him, let alone the chance to audition for a casting.

After hitting a wall, Zhang Tianyu, who was already deeply traumatized, was in an even worse state during this period.

Until now
"It seems that "Kuangchuan" is a better choice," Zhang Tianyu murmured.

Although "Bright Sword: Thunder Warrior" is a remake of the popular IP "Bright Sword", and it is said that the investment is huge!

But no matter what, "Drawing Sword" was produced by Heye Film and Television.

Although Heye Film and Television is not a wealthy company, and it still has a long way to go before becoming a wealthy company.

But you have to admit that only three years have passed since their establishment, less than five years, and they have already reached this point, and their director Xia Yuan is getting more perverted every year.

What's more, there is no doubt that Heye Film and Television is very popular on the Internet.

I think it’s only a matter of time before he enters the elite level.

You can give their drama a try!
Moreover, I heard that Director Xia Yuan was a very different person. If I could be noticed by him, it would definitely be much better than playing a role in "Thunder Warrior".

However, he didn't know whether the other party would like him, and he was not sure. He was too unconfident.

"what!"

In the office, Tang Ying, who was sleeping under a blanket after watching some anime, suddenly woke up with sweat on her forehead and a frightened look on her face.

Damn, I’m having a nightmare!
She actually dreamed that some crazy person was cursing her, saying that Heye Film and Television would definitely be included in the list of wealthy families in the future.

Heye Films becomes a wealthy company? !

Damn it, who are you cursing?

This is so scary.

I, Tang Ying, am a decent person. When have I ever offended you? Why are you cursing me like this?

"But it's okay, it's just a dream." Tang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

But I don't know how Xia Yuan's casting is going now? Is it going smoothly?
When she thought about Xia Yuan about to make her lose 400 million, a lewd smile appeared on her face.

Hey hey hey hey. Hey hey hey
Four hundred million.
At this moment, is Xia Yuan's casting going smoothly?
Obviously, judging from his furrowed brow, things were not going well.
