Correspondingly, the quality of the selected literary and artistic talents cannot be uneven.

"I remember that the art troupe was disbanded after the military reform?"

Director Wei asked the relevant person in charge curiously.

After the secretary told him, Director Wei became interested and began to contact the navy.

The other party's answer cleared up Director Wei's confusion: "Director Wei, I'm not mistaken. It was indeed disbanded before. However, starting this year, the higher-ups decided to rebuild the art troupe."

Director Wei nodded.

He seemed to have some impression of this.

In the previous life, it should have been the military art troupe rebuilt in 2018.

I can’t remember the exact date, but because of the butterfly effect, Director Wei can understand whether it was earlier or later.

"Any explanation? Why did they suddenly start rebuilding again?"

"Guan Fang's statement is that military art and literature is an important part of military culture and an important manifestation of our army's political advantages. In the new era, military art and literature will inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of the military, firmly establish a clear orientation of serving the strengthening of the army and serving the grassroots, give full play to the functions and roles of combat teams and light cavalry, and provide a strong spiritual driving force for fighting and winning battles."

After hearing this, Director Wei was stunned.

"We are all family now. Is there anything that is not related to the other party?"

The person in charge glanced at Director Wei and shook his head decisively: "I don't have it here. Director Wei, you can ask the higher-ups."

Director Wei also shut up decisively.

He must be crazy to ask the higher-ups.

No matter how the outside world understands it, Director Wei believes that the army rebuilt the art troupe in order to enhance its combat effectiveness.

People asked him to be an examiner, so Director Wei was only responsible for being an examiner.

In this regard, he does have a very high status in the industry.

Last year, Beijing Film Academy also contacted Director Wei and asked him to be an examiner, but unfortunately Director Wei did not have the time last year.

This time I just wanted to experience it.

"I have another question. Should I select according to the standards of entertainment celebrities or the standards of the military?" Director Wei asked.

These two standards are different.

It is actually difficult for celebrities who meet the standards of the entertainment industry to match the temperament of the military.

People who yearn for the prosperity of the entertainment industry are unlikely to be able to withstand the rigorous training of the military.

Of course, it cannot be said that the two absolutely cannot overlap.

There are many celebrities in the entertainment industry who are former military art soldiers.

For example, Zhang Yi, Sun Li, Yan Ni, Niu Li, Yin Tao...

Putting aside their acting skills and looks, it can basically be said that these stars who came from military art corps are actually not very good at entertaining themselves for public consumption.

It has nothing to do with whether they are popular or not. The main reason is that they are not down-to-earth, rarely appear on variety shows, don’t like to be clowns, and don’t chase traffic.

In other words, traffic doesn't like them either.

This is where they break away from the mainstream trend in the entertainment industry.

They are already military arts soldiers and are very suitable for the entertainment industry.

Most of the beauties in the army have basically no chance of entering the entertainment industry.

Serve the military wholeheartedly.

Director Wei, who works in the entertainment industry, of course had to ask about the military's selection criteria.

This standard surprised Director Wei.

"Director Wei, please select according to the standards of celebrities in the entertainment industry."

"what?"

"Others will be responsible for selecting new talents who fit the military style. Director Wei, you will be responsible for helping us cultivate a few star seeds. The entertainment industry also needs the presence of the Military Art Department. We also need to let the audience see that people from our army can also shine in the entertainment industry."

Director Wei understood: "I understand. Choose a few representatives like Zhang Yi, Sun Li, and Yin Tao."

"Correct."

"It's no big deal." Director Wei agreed immediately.

But the person in charge still heard Director Wei's subtext: "What about the small problem?"

"The small problem is that these people are not easy to copy. It would be much easier if we only picked people like Teacher Dong and Teacher Bai."

"Teacher Dong and Teacher Bai?" "Dong Jie and Liu Tao." Person in charge: "..."

He couldn't quite understand Teacher Bai's jokes, after all, he was old.

But he still knew about Teacher Dong's affairs.

"Director Wei, we want artists who are both virtuous and talented."

"That's really difficult," Director Wei said bluntly, "It depends on their own luck."

It is not easy for an actor like Zhang Yi to have no box office appeal or fans, but to be recognized in the industry for his acting skills and status.

He himself is indeed able to endure loneliness, does not cause trouble, and has few black spots.

Apart from always hanging out with some traitorous friends, he has basically no other problems.

But as we all know, the probability of making friends with traitors in the entertainment industry is too high.

Moreover, there are many traitors in the director circle.

It is almost inevitable for actors to make friends with directors as they move up the ladder.

After all, not everyone has the confidence that Director Wei has.

Therefore, in the entertainment industry, it is actually quite difficult for people like Zhang Yi to make a name for themselves and become successful.

Because this situation is random.

It is worth mentioning that in this time and space, it was director Wei's "Beijing Love Story" that really pushed Zhang Yi to the general public and allowed Zhang Yi to start carrying the drama as the protagonist and gain recognition from the industry.

"Soldier Assault" made Zhang Yi famous in the entertainment industry, but he was just the No. 7 male role. The popularity of the show does not mean that Zhang Yi is recognized in the circle.

After filming Director Wei's "Beijing Love Story", he rose to fame along with the show as the absolute male lead, which is the most orthodox way to become a star.

But that was also Zhang Yi's own acting skills.

After all, among the popular dramas, there are many dramas where the male protagonists perform poorly.

For example, Lu Yi played Hou Liangping in "Ren Yi". So Director Wei does not think that anyone he promotes will become so popular.

Sun Li's situation is more difficult to replicate than Zhang Yi's.

After all, the chances of encountering a drama like "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are even lower. The original author, hoping to replicate the success of "The Legend of Zhen Huan," cast Zhou Xun, a more established figure than Sun Li, as the female lead. The result was the critically acclaimed "The Legend of Da Ru," a flop. Among female-oriented TV series, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has the strongest long-tail effect, with "The Story of Minglan" closely behind. Sun Li could retire on "The Legend of Zhen Huan" alone.

Not to mention that Sun Li has other works to her credit.

Yin Tao is actually the most normal person to be popular... because she is beautiful and has decent acting skills. It can be said that any female star with Yin Tao's strength has the elements of popularity.

As long as there are financial backers and resources to support you, it is easy to rise to the top.

but……

Is it easy to find a beautiful female star with good acting skills these days?

This is a very serious question.

Beautiful female stars already have the potential to become popular.

If her acting skills are also good... then she is the chosen one.

There is no shortage of talented female stars in the entertainment industry.

There is no shortage of idol-type young actresses.

But there are actually not that many female celebrities who have both talent and good looks.

Those 85 flowers, including the 95 flowers, and even the young actresses born after 00, are all more inclined towards traffic.

His strength is not something that can only be seen by fans, but it is not much different.

Yin Tao is the one who won the Best Actress award based on her acting skills.

The purpose was to allow someone to be nominated for Best Actress, to prevent backlash from public opinion, and to directly block Yin Tao from being nominated.

Among female stars, this kind of acting skills can be considered T1 or even T0 level.

The drama circle and those who like to shoot serious dramas like this kind of female stars the most.

It is unlikely that serious dramas will find popular stars, because their acting skills are really too poor and directors do not have the ability to train them.

If traffic stars could be trained and educated by directors, they would have won the Best Actress award long ago and wouldn't need to be called traffic stars.

But finding truly unpopular actors with great acting skills would put too much pressure on the performance of a play.

It is an objective fact that talented actresses often lack fame and fan base.

In this situation, actresses like Yin Tao, who have both good looks and acting skills, who can support the background of a serious drama with their strength and attract passers-by with their looks, are a scarce resource in the circle.

So you can see that even though Yin Tao doesn’t have much traffic, she has no shortage of roles to play in the circle.

Especially the resources for serious dramas.

The financial backers and resources are always there, but only God knows whether the person being promoted has the qualifications and luck.

Even Director Wei can't grasp it.

He has also collaborated with many popular celebrities.

But to this day, there has not been any talented and popular actress recognized by the audience.

Even if Director Wei is very good, it only expands their classic roles and national popularity.

The military system wants artists, and Director Wei really can't do that.

Artists are not made by being praised.

"Promoting people is a technical job. Small fame depends on promotion, big fame depends on luck. Even for me, it's hard to promote people."

Director Wei gave himself some insurance: "Just like the sweet princess, I wanted to promote her back then, but... well, the result seems to be pretty good." Director Wei and the person in charge looked at each other.

Faced with the look of "I'm just watching you perform quietly" from the person in charge, Director Wei was speechless.

It seems that in this time and space, after Da Tiantian fell into his hands, he really made Da Tiantian famous.

So using Da Tiantian as an example is particularly unconvincing now.

The person in charge said the same thing.

"Director Wei, your debut film back then was 'Warring States,' a collaboration with Miss Jing. The two newcomers joined forces to break into the entertainment industry, becoming overnight stars and stunning everyone."

Director Wei couldn't refute it.

That's indeed what happened.

He and Datiantian are schoolmates.

And I know Da Tiantian's unfathomable background and financial ability.

So when he was in school, he deliberately made friends with Da Tiantian.

The sweet princess is really awesome.

When making friends, I don’t care whether the other person is rich or not, nor do I care whether the other person has qualifications or not.

Anyway, she has money and is willful.

When the crew of "Warring States" was formed, no requirements were put forward, and Director Wei, a newcomer at the time, was directly appointed as the director of "Warring States".

Originally, the investors of "Warring States" did not agree.

They really want to do it well.

Even though they made a bad movie in the original time and space, they still wanted to make a quality movie at the beginning.

Unfortunately, they don't have that ability.

Director Wei, who had access to the Sweet Princess's back door, quickly demonstrated his abilities.

When the finished product of "Warring States" came out, no one had any objections.
