From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

It is actually not easy for a play to go from having an idea, to launching a project, to making preparations.

Especially the preparation of some independent films is even more difficult.

From investment, to the creative team, to assembling the actors, every step is a hurdle.

Even some commercial films that are not favored are not much better.

For example, Ding Zhi and Han Jianan have been working hard on the film project of "The God of Medicine" in the past year or two. Even with Ding Zhi as a living signature, the progress in this year has not been smooth.

However, a project like "The Tuner", which has proven its popularity and selling points, and is naturally a gimmick, can achieve the green light with the support of all parties.

The short film "The Tuner" is actually very self-consistent in terms of the core of the story, the narrative structure, and even the logic. And the short film format condenses all the suspense into a short period of about thirteen minutes, which is unusual.

Sophisticated and perfect.

Zhang Songwen, the "music shop boss", serves as a tool to explain why the tuner is pretending to be blind, which can be regarded as a link between the previous and the following.

Needless to say, Ding Zhi’s role as “tuner” is the key to supporting the core of the entire story.

As for the role of Miss Zou, it is a powerful plot line that stands on the opposite side of Ding Zhi.

Only three main characters appeared in the thirteen-minute appearance, and even the names of the three were not revealed throughout the story, but the characters were still perfectly established.

It is obviously not an easy task to extend this short thirteen minutes to one and a half or even two hours, while still retaining the "trick" core in the short film.

Just like writing an article, a few sentences can explain a clear plot, but I deliberately spend time describing the scene first, then add some verbosity in the dialogue, and finally piece together the word count.

There is an ancient saying: "There are two trees in front of my house, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree."

There is a certain online article where a copywriter is frantically trying to get 4,000 words in order to get full-time work.

But how can I put it, as for online articles, even if the flood is overwhelming, one chapter only costs one or two cents. If the writing is interesting and the volume is large, the readers will feel disgusted.

But for a movie where the cost of watching a movie has doubled hundreds of times, and a movie ticket costs tens of dollars less, if you dare to blatantly drink too much water, it will be a typical showdown, and the audience will vote with their feet.

When Chen Ke and Ding Zhi took on this project, they were actually already prepared, and this book would take a while.

So half a month later, when the final revised script was handed to Chen Ke, he was obviously a little confused.

no.....

Is this the "King of Procrastination" in his impression?

As I said before, even though his rival Qi Shuai is coming aggressively with the advantage of a new IP development team, in the past year, the overall performance is still beaten by Chen Ke.

Chen Ke is experienced in content operation and development.

For example, at the beginning, it was he who fought against all opinions and allowed Ding Zhi to produce "Peeping" to replace Yu Zhen's abandoned project, which led to the subsequent miracle of ratings.

Therefore, his ability to identify the pros and cons of scripts is actually quite unique and outstanding.

Chen Ke also knows that "The Tuner" will change the difficulty and time required for a feature film.

He had a little doubt that Ding Zhi could perfect the script in such a short period of time.

He was even prepared that if Ding Zhi's script was too perfunctory, he would ask for a change of script or even a change of screenwriter, regardless of whether it would affect his good working relationship with Ding Zhi.

However, after he read the entire script, the strangeness in his eyes only increased instead of decreasing.

It's not because the script is of poor quality, but quite the opposite.

The quality of this book is surprisingly good.

"Could it be that he has been preparing to take pictures for a long time?"

On the contrary, he had some doubts. Ding Zhi had actually prepared the script a long time ago.

Chen Ke recalled Ding Zhi's hesitant and surprised look when he was discussing with him, but it didn't look like he was faking it.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and stopped worrying about these trivial matters.

Anyway, as long as the final result is satisfactory to him.

"Where is the progress of Producer Ding and the others now?"

The producers of this project are Taobao Film and Television, Huansong Media, Ding Zhi’s Jiuyao Media, and Kyoto Impression Media.

Ding Zhi is now working as a producer for the first time, which can be said to be a step further than his previous work as a supervisor on "The Hidden Corner".

"We are already recruiting actors."

"I heard that Producer Ding and Chuansong didn't seem to be having a very happy quarrel over there?"

The assistant next to him hesitated.

"There is such a thing. I heard that Huansong fortress tried to force an actor into it, but it failed and a commotion broke out."

The assistant continued, "It seems that the news that Ding Zhi is leaving the nest is true, otherwise the two parties would not be in such a quarrel."

"How can the eagle stay on a small branch forever?"

Chen Ke shook his head. He had only known Ding Zhi for just over three years. He was one of the people who watched his rise. The two of them had cooperated a lot in the past three years. He thought that he also knew Ding Zhi.

That's enough understanding.

As long as he doesn't make fatal mistakes, Ding Zhi is destined to stir up troubles in the future circles.

"He is not someone who is easily controlled."

...

...

The incident of Chen Ke listening to the assistant's report was, to Ding Zhi, just like chasing away a fly.

Just like what Chen Ke heard.

The actress surnamed Yan, for some unknown reason, actually found Ding Zhi herself, as if she wanted to win over him.

This is equivalent to asking Ding Zhi to kick his girlfriend away and let her enter the game with someone who is no better than a stranger.

For a moment, Ding Zhi didn't know where she got such a big face.

Ding Zhi was naturally not angry, but it was not over yet.

Didn't we say before that this girl's rumored boyfriend was a director from the Huansong Beijing faction? He actually found Ding Zhi and seemed to want to use his influence to put pressure.

It made Ding Zhi feel how different the world is.

It can only be said that the level of position may not be directly proportional to IQ sometimes.

In the end, the farce didn't get too big, and Yang Fu stopped it urgently.

This incident had almost no substantive impact on Ding Zhi's outcome, but it did convey to the outside world for the first time an important message that "Ding Zhi and Huan Song" appear to be completely different.

In this regard, Ding Zhi has received offers from many companies overtly or covertly in recent days, and many have even expressed their willingness to pay him liquidated damages.

Although many people can see that Ding Zhi most likely planned to stand on his own after leaving the nest, but it would be better to have three shots if there are no dates.

What if?

If you can really catch Ding Zhi, it will undoubtedly be like winning the lottery.

Naturally, Ding Zhi had no intention of paying attention to these things at the moment.

As the producer and protagonist of the movie "The Tuner".

He is really busy with too many things at the moment.

First of all, under the hands of him and screenwriter Li Feng, the film "The Tuner" has greatly changed many characters and settings while retaining the original "trick".

It turned out that he had indeed positioned Ms. Zou as the "female villain" again.

But after the script was completed, Ms. Zou read the script carefully and voluntarily gave up the role. The reason was that the revised script did not fit the role very well with her.

Instead, she fell in love with the second female lead in the script, who is the girlfriend of the character Ding Zhi.

Ding Zhi was a little suspicious for a moment. She just wanted to continue playing her girlfriend - the second female lead in the play had a lot of intimate scenes with the male lead.

However, in the revised script, there is indeed a big age difference between him and Zou Yutong, and Zou Yutong's apparent reasons are actually quite reasonable.

Not everyone has such miraculous abilities as Ding Zhi, and there is no sense of inconsistency in being able to control a character whose age span is too large.

Therefore, his top priority is to find a beautiful villain who is not too young, has acting skills that can hold up to the role, and is also charming.

Where to place the specified conditions.

Oh, there are quite a few...

It has to be said that it is not unreasonable to say that the flowering period of actresses is too short. For example, Sister Wen began to worry about her future before she was thirty years old.

There are many domestic film and television dramas nowadays. In fact, in terms of main roles, unlike male actors, even if they are in their forties or fifties, they have a very broad acting career and can choose from many types of roles.

There is even a market for handsome "uncle" guys.

The restrictions for actresses are undoubtedly greater.

Many projects actually don't have many places for older actresses, let alone outstanding roles.

But there is no doubt that actresses aged 35 and above, and even 40 years old and above, are definitely not inferior to the charm of those "uncle" male gods.

Just like the woman in front of Ding Zhi now.

With her red lips like blazing flames, turbulent waves that could not be concealed by a women's suit, and her fair and firm skin, Ding Zhi could not tell that she was a 45-year-old "old" actress.

There was even a vague smell of seduction in that glance, but it did not fall into the vulgarity of a "vixen". Instead, it was like a ripe peach that was about to droop, naturally exuding a seductive smell.

All of this made him sigh in his heart, he finally saw an example of what it means to "become more demonic as you get older".

"Hello, I am Cheng Shu."

The familiar beauty in front of me has a slightly unisex name.

"Hello, Teacher Cheng, I am Ding Zhi."

Ding Zhi's eyes were filled with clarity at this time. Although there may be a thief hidden in every man, whether he can control this thief is the difference between a successful man and an ordinary pig brother.

He was carefully observing the other person, thinking about how well the other person matched the role.

"I know that the most popular actor in the past two years has to be you. The first male lead won the Magnolia Award for the powerful role of The Emperor.

And I have watched your "Manhunt" and I like your performance very much. It is hard to imagine that you are a young man who is only 26 years old."

"When Teacher Cheng won the Magnolia Award and the Golden Eagle Award, I had not yet entered the industry!"

That's right, don't think that the stunningly beautiful Cheng Shu in front of you is a minor character.

Among the three major domestic TV drama awards, Cheng Shu had won the Magnolia Award and the Golden Eagle Award consecutively seven or eight years ago, and was only one Feitian Award away from the Grand Slam.

In fact, this Cheng Shu is also a relatively famous "plastic surgery actress". She can still maintain her beauty at today's age, and she has contributed a lot to medical beauty. To a certain extent, she is called "the most successful plastic surgery actress"

's actress".

But as we all know, plastic surgery is often a taboo in acting. Even the National Master once clearly stated that one of his casting criteria is to never have plastic surgery on the face.

Naturally, it is because the face has been surgically operated and filled with foreign matter, which will make the face look extremely stiff when making subtle micro-expressions.

If you are unlucky, after time passes, the sequelae of plastic surgery will cause the entire face to begin to collapse irreparably.

But this is also the great thing about Cheng Shu. She has a face that has gone under the knife, but she can still win the most honorable acting awards in film and television dramas one after another.

It is also one of the reasons why she is called "the most successful plastic surgery".

After the two chatted for a while, they officially got down to business.

"I like this role very much. I wonder if Teacher Ding thinks I am suitable?"

Cheng Shu is worthy of being an "old ginger". She speaks very clearly and clearly shows her extraordinary inner confidence.

To put it bluntly, there are not many roles and opportunities suitable for middle-aged actresses like them on the market today, but once a suitable role appears, Cheng Shu will naturally be confident.

Faced with Cheng Shu's "straight ball", Ding Zhi did not answer immediately.

In his mind, another female artist who was also beautiful appeared.

Yes, Cheng Shu was one of the candidates he and his team had agreed upon, but she was not the only candidate.

Before meeting Cheng Shu, he had actually met several actors.

It has to be said that Cheng Shu, a veteran TV queen, is indeed one of the top two candidates in his mind, even though he has gone under the knife.

As for the other one, it was another actress he had met a few days ago.

That actress is younger than Cheng Shu, and may not be as glorious as the Cheng Shu in front of her in terms of honor.

But in terms of temperament and age, he is much more advantageous.

The actress' name is Zhu Zhu.

If we say that Cheng Shu's beauty is the kind of enthusiasm that shines brightly and the heart-stirring mellowness that has accumulated over time.

Zhu Zhu's alluring character is the kind of heat that radiates from the inside out from the corners of her eyes, her red lips, even when she is sitting, walking or standing, from her temperament.

Moreover, when Zhu Zhu and Ding Zhi met to discuss their roles, they were almost naked without makeup, but when they entered the roles, they still had a seductive flavor that seemed to be unconscious.

As charming as a wild cat.

In fact, after meeting Zhu Zhu, Ding Zhi had already preset her as his first choice for the female lead in "The Tuner".

But I had made an appointment with Cheng Shu in advance, so I came here for a walk.

But he didn't expect that the feeling Cheng Shu gave him after the meeting seemed to be no less than the feeling Zhu Zhu made him.

For a moment, Ding Zhi seemed to be in a dilemma.

(The prototypes of these two are Chen Shu and Zhu Zhu respectively. If you think the two of them are more suitable, you can give us some suggestions. Pigeon is still confused.)
