The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 20 Isn’t it like this?
"Then try inviting Chen Dulin to audition? See if she's willing to act."

"Chen Dulin," Liu Cheng repeated the name, "the one who played in 'Left Ear'? The filming of the movie just wrapped last month. I know."

"Well, she is a non-arts college student, so she can act in her true colors. If nothing unexpected happens, "Left Ear" will be released in the first half of next year. Didn't Director Chen say that "My Girlhood" might be released around the summer vacation?
"This way, we will have two chances before the production of 'The Beginning' is completed. As long as one of the two movies is a box office success, the series will not be difficult to sell. But now that Leshi is working on it together, the series will not have any problems selling."

Xu Xing went back and thought about it yesterday. If he wants to sell the drama, Chen Dulin might be a good choice.

In fact, the extent to which Chen Dulin's acting skills are better than Nazha's is less than the extent to which Nazha is more beautiful than her.

But Chen Dulin's advantage is that she has a movie "Left Ear" to support her next year.

After the release of "Left Ear", Chen Dulin became briefly famous, which was also one of the only two bonus periods in her acting career.

Although her performance in the movie was not very satisfactory to the book fans, it was still barely acceptable.

No matter how much Xu Xing complains about this movie being a lunatic, a car accident, and mentally retarded, the box office of nearly 5 million is definitely a success.

Another thing is that Chen Dulin is a real girl and she has the temperament of a student.

Nazha doesn't have much of a college student's temperament.

Of course, there is a problem: Chen Dulin may not be able to act.

She is still in school now. After finishing filming "Left Ear" this year, her next filming will be next summer vacation, and the next time will be during the winter vacation the year after, and then the summer vacation the year after that.

——In his previous life, when Xu Xing was watching fans fighting, he saw others digging up the truth. In fact, Chen Dulin filmed a movie every year after "Left Ear". Unfortunately, every movie she played the female lead was a flop. Only later on was Miracle Dudu her first supporting actress.

The junior year is the most demanding time for academics. She had already delayed her studies last semester while filming "Left Ear" and probably didn't want to be delayed again next semester.

After all, Rao Xueman will continue to escort the summer dramas.

There was no need for her to take the risk of starring in "The Beginning", which is very non-mainstream in the current TV drama market.

Liu Cheng nodded.

Think and analyze at the same time.

"She is the leading actress of a movie, and you are also the leading actor of a movie. Your movie hasn't even been released yet, and she can't grab your ranking."

"..."

Xu Xing felt that he was being sarcastic to her.

"But the problem is her acting skills..."

Liu Cheng was a little hesitant.

"If it doesn't work, then find someone else. I think she might become popular next year when The Left Ear is released. It's a bit of a gamble."

Xu Xing said casually.

"The Left Ear" is a big IP in the field of domestic youth pain literature, and it is expected to be a hit.

"Okay, let's study it later," Liu Cheng agreed with a smile, "In fact, Le's company is interested in inviting an actor from South Korea."

The Korean wave has been extremely strong in the past two years. At the end of last year, the host of Mango TV directly made a big gift. In addition, the China-Korea co-production agreement was signed this year. The industry no longer pretended and started to invite Korean artists.

Then, those who were on the crest of the waves were washed to death on the beach the following year.

"It's not necessary."

Xu Xing expressed his opposition.

"It's not necessary," Liu Cheng agreed. "I told them it's not necessary. They seem to want to invite Lin Yuna or Bae Suzy. If they come, they will definitely compete with you."

"..."

Xu Xing was also convinced.

……

Dinner.

Pan Yueming praised Xu Xing's script highly, saying that he was even more amazed when he knew it was written by Xu Xing. He gave a thumbs up and praised her in a flowery way: "She is talented and promising at a young age!"

After all, Xu Xing had given him enough face before. When writing the script, what I imagined in my mind was what Teacher Pan said, although Pan Yueming felt that he might be a little young to play this role.

But this script is really good, better than any other he has had access to in recent times.

Then Xu Xing also explained his idea of "creating" the role of the bus driver.

What the driver was about to do was wrong, but he was still powerless to prevent a tragedy from happening. This is a very complex role that cannot be performed by ordinary actors.

Then of course you have to wear a compliment.

The atmosphere at the dinner became even more harmonious.

Talking about script writing, Xu Xing also said that the next script he is writing is a suspense type because he is a mystery fan.

He sighed again and said that writing was extremely difficult. No matter how much he read, when it came to coming up with a story himself, he felt that there were loopholes everywhere, so he had not yet finished the first page of the script.

"In fact, I think there is no need to pay too much attention to those small loopholes, because what you are creating is a script to be filmed, not a novel. Small loopholes can be covered up by editing in film and television dramas. As long as there are no major flaws, the story and core selling points are the most important."

Chen Xi listened carefully and gave her opinion.

Xu Xing was silent for a moment.

nod.

laugh.

"Yes, I feel a little enlightened now. I was really stuck in a dead end before. Thank you, Sister Xi."

……

On the way back,
"Your acting is really good, so natural," Liu Cheng praised Xu Xing, "but can you really finish writing that script and show it to her before the end of the year?"

"That's definitely not possible. I might write it after filming Detective Chinatown is finished."

There's no need to be so hasty, just be natural.

And it was brought out too early and there was no time to perform it.

During the acting class yesterday, Xu Xing told Teacher Chang that she felt a little tired after the performance. She said with some relief that Xu Xing was finally getting the hang of it.

...Although Mr. Chang's next sentence was, "This also shows that you really don't have a good acting talent."

Before you can do it with ease, it is very tiring to devote yourself to the performance, mentally tiring.

Xu Xing has never acted in a formal movie before. If everything goes well, he will be exhausted to death after filming three movies in a row.

The fundamental purpose of Xu Xing's striving to become a top star is to enjoy life, not to pursue a dream.

That's why they take shortcuts by "any means necessary".

It's enough to just endure the hardship in the early stages.

"I feel like Chen Xi is quite interested in you and has a very good impression of you. She even asked about your development plans. When you were talking about writing a suspense script, it really felt like she was working on a detective drama."

“Isn’t that what all producers do?”

Or aren’t all rich women like this?
He speaks well and is young and handsome. No matter how much others complain about him, I still like him in my heart.

What's more, there is the bonus of talent.

……

A few more days passed.

Liu Cheng came over to tell Xu Xing that Chen Dulin's current agency affairs were handled by her family, and they did not want her to act in such a play in February next year.

Although next year's Spring Festival is on February 2th, the university winter vacation will be longer, so we will only miss one month of classes.

"What now? Do you have any other suggestions?"

Liu Cheng asked.
