Liu Tao has been in the capital for half a month, but he still has not received any notice from the crew of "The Legend of the White Snake".

From the initial surprise to the later uneasiness, it has evolved into the current anxiety, and the feeling of waiting is hard to describe.

As a new actor, it is inevitable to worry about gains and losses to the heroine who strives for a big production.

This is not the case if she becomes famous and then fights for roles.

She would call the director and investors directly to ask about the results, or use the resources in her hands to compete with other actresses instead of waiting.

Newcomers are in a weak position and lack confidence.

If Xiao Ye hadn't been in contact with her, Liu Tao would have planned to give up and auditioned in other crews.

No matter how bad it is, you can still shoot advertisements.

She has filmed many commercials. Although she does not have a big international brand, she has a certain reputation in the advertising circle in Guangdong Province.

Under Xiao Ye's introduction, Liu Tao moved from the hotel to an affordable apartment. She was ready to move to Beijing for a long time. Since she came to Beijing, she had no plans to go back.

A few days ago, the children's drama Xiao Ye was responsible for was completed, and the number of contacts with her increased.

Every time she will bring her the latest news, what director is not satisfied with the script, what conflicts with the producer, and the pay offered by a famous male actor is too high.

Liu Tao felt the difficulty of preparing a large-scale production series.

The domestic TV series market is booming, and famous actors are all offering high prices.

For example, there was a news some time ago that Zhang Jizhong planned to film a martial arts drama and invited Zhang Ziyi to star in it. The length of forty episodes was 2 million.

It is equivalent to 50,000 yuan per episode, far exceeding Zhang Ziyi's value at this time.

This is called premium.

Why do you look for Zhang Ziyi? Because Zhang Yimou's film won an award at the Berlin Film Festival, Zhang Ziyi is popular abroad, especially in Europe and Japan.

Once an actress becomes famous abroad, she will be sought after in the country.

Faced with a pay of 2 million yuan, Zhang Ziyi was very moved. She only received more than 100,000 yuan in filming Zhang Yimou before.

She called Zhang Yimou to ask for advice on whether to take on this TV series. Zhang Yimou scolded her and told her not to act in the TV series for money.

In the eyes of great directors, TV series has no technical content, and good actors avoid acting in TV series.

Acting in a TV series means that you have lowered your requirements for yourself, and you will not find that kind of fine feeling when you act in a movie.

However, this is just an exception, Zhang Yimou has the capital to say so.

But in the context of the bleak movie market and the popularity of TV series, there are not many actors who insist on not acting in TV series.

After all, it is still making money by filming TV series, which has led to soaring actors' pay.

The key is that they really dare to ask for it, and a male protagonist speaks for millions.

The same is true for Good Dream Company. There are two prices for both internal and external. The actors shoot their own company's scenes at one price, and the films at other companies' scenes at another price.

The difference between the two is twice as high, which is a common phenomenon in the industry.

Lin Zixuan didn't do this, but other film and television companies did the same. The market developed to this extent, and a large amount of capital flowed in, and a bubble formed.

The development of the film and television industry is consistent with the domestic economy. As long as the economy develops rapidly, the bubble will become bigger and bigger.

Unless administrative means are used to restrict this situation, it is impossible to reverse it by your own efforts.

This is a big trend.

In this case, we can only follow the trend. If Lin Zixuan sets the salary of the actors in his company low, the actors will definitely not do it. Who doesn’t want to make more money?

It doesn’t matter if you make less money for your company, after all, it is the company’s resource and you can get good roles.

There is no need to be so particular about filming for other companies, no one will think that there is too much money.

For the drama "The Legend of the White Snake", Lin Zixuan is preparing to use newcomers with low pay and spend their funds on shooting and special effects. As long as the actors' acting skills are acceptable, they can do so.

Good Dream Company does not have the ability to do special effects on its own for the time being, and needs to cooperate with other special effects companies.

Recruiting a group of computer and art majors and asking them to study while doing is just to pay tuition fees.

The director of "The Legend of the White Snake" wants to use a well-known and acting actor.

This idea is not wrong, it is just not suitable for this type of TV series. In Lin Zixuan's opinion, such series should be positioned as costume mythological idol dramas.

The characteristics are that the actors have high appearance, beautiful pictures, and realistic special effects.

To put it bluntly, how to enjoy the eyes is in line with the taste of young audiences.

For example, in "The Legend of the White Snake", Fahai is an old monk. This is not enough, so he has to find a young actor to act.

There is no need to show Fahai’s kind-hearted and virtuous side, but more show Fahai’s strong and courageous side to defeat demons and eliminate demons.

There are also monster shapes and various fighting scenes, the more novel the better.

"No matter how you shoot it, the audience doesn't think that this version can surpass the old version. I don't think you need to compare it with the old version. You should find a way to innovate." Lin Zixuan said, "How to innovate? One is the picture. Let's go to various places to shoot outdoor scenes to ensure that the picture is beautiful, and the other is the special effects, and strive to create a large scene that is only available in the movie."

"What about art?" the director asked, "It's good to shoot like this, but it can't be a classic."

"It will not be known until later whether it can become a classic. What we need to do now is innovative work." Lin Zixuan responded, "A drama must have its own positioning. The positioning of this drama is to create a new form and make a look for future mythological dramas."

Art is naturally important, but entering the new century means the arrival of the fast food era.

Before 1995, the word "fast food" was not available in major dictionaries in China. Now, fast food in big cities has become a fashion.

The accelerated pace of work and life has led to the popularity of fast food, thus forming a fast food culture.

People no longer want to watch movies and TV dramas with heavy themes, and read books that require thinking. Instead, those relaxed and funny popular literature are popular.

Most readers want to read entertainment pages and gossip news about celebrities when they open newspapers.

Fast food culture is becoming mainstream.

Of course, it is not to say that you no longer shoot in-depth films and TV series, but you just need to make appropriate changes to adapt to this era of rapid development.

Xiao Ye called Liu Tao and told her that she could come to the company to sign a contract.

There are two contracts to be signed, one is the acting contract for "The Legend of White Snake" and the other is the signing contract for actors.

Only by becoming an actor from Good Dream Company can you star in TV series, and doing so gives people a strong feeling.

As the scale of Good Dream Company grows bigger and bigger, it has gradually formed a strong style. If you don’t join the company, why do you let this role be played?

When Zhang Jiayi starred in "Borrowing Gun", she did not join the Good Dream Company.

It can only be said that the competition among film and television companies is becoming increasingly fierce, and when resources are limited, they focus on their own interests.

The overall environment of this circle is changing, and the human touch is becoming less and less.
