Opportunities in the entertainment industry rely on the support of noble people, the support of financial bosses, the luck of the stars, and the efforts of actors.
For example, in the drama "The King of Power", the leading actor Hou Jian is supported by the nobles, while Xia Yi and Niu Xiang are supported by the financial backers. Some of the other actors are lucky, while others rely on their own efforts.
This circle is cruel, but to say the least, which circle is not cruel?
It’s not just the entertainment industry that relies on a good father or a godfather?
Many artists have neither nobles nor financial sponsors, nor do they want to recognize their father, so they can only fight for it on their own.
But whether the opportunity you strive for can succeed or not really depends on luck.
Lin Xing's luck is very good. Whether it's "The Big Brother" or "Portrait of a Murderer", as well as the "Bad Kid" that just ended, Lin Xing has basically gained a good reputation.
In particular, "The Big Brother" also won Lin Xing the Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actor.
But there is actually another saying in the entertainment industry, that is, a person's luck will always run out. Just because you are lucky now, it does not mean that you will always be lucky.
Just like An Yifeng, the TV series she acted in before had soaring ratings and reputation, but since she moved to the film industry, she has been a hit.
This is why An Yifeng has thick blood. Although she has not recovered her blood in the past ten years, she has not fallen to the 18th line because of her appearance.
It really belongs to God to enjoy the meal.
But after so many years, she is the only one like An Yifeng in the entertainment industry.
Wei Fei meant well. She felt that Lin Xing had finally become famous and now she should make more choices while she still had options.
As an actor, don't think that you will get better and better.
Take An Yifeng for example. She became famous at a young age, and then her three TV series won her three TV drama awards. At that time, it was felt that An Yifeng's peak had just begun.
result?
You saw it.
The efforts in the film industry are almost gone.
As someone who has experienced this, isn't Wei Fei the same?
In the past, if she was not on the set when she was filming, the director would not turn on the camera at all.
But now? ?
Now when Wei Fei arrived at the scene, she said, "Teacher Wei, please wait a moment."
This is the way this world is. Many times you don’t even know what’s going on and you end up getting angry.
This time, the real protagonists of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" are Liang Yi and Ling Mei, and the others will be special appearances, friendly appearances, special guest appearances, etc.
To put it bluntly, they are just studying with the prince and princess.
Tomorrow, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" will officially start filming. Tonight, Wei Fei, Ren Shuai, and Lin Xing are having a drink together.
This is the leisure time before starting the machine.
After all, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has been [script reading] these days, and every director basically has his own style.
You are just like Zu Ming. When he was filming "Anti-Gangster", what he liked the most was everyone doing "script reading" together, because in Zu Ming's view, he would rather spend more time, because actors can only understand it thoroughly In this way, you can get twice the result with half the effort when shooting.
But during the [script reading] of "Portrait of a Murderer" it was a different story. This is because Liu Zhou likes to create while filming, and he doesn't want everything to be completed in the [script reading].
Not to mention "Evil Child", Lan Lei is a new director, and he hopes to shoot it in advance.
Next up is "For Whom the Bell Tolls". Dong Deng's style is actually similar to Zu Ming, but there are some differences.
Zu Ming hopes that the actors will understand their roles thoroughly. At the same time, he also hopes that the actors will not only understand their own roles, but more accurately, let the actors enter the roles in advance, and even start talking about the scenes during the [script study].
Dong Deng is not like this. In [script study], he is more about letting the actors understand the characters. At the same time, Dong Deng discusses the filming scenes with the assistant director, camera, and lighting on site.
In short, Dong Deng also has the ultimate control over the crew. Not to mention the official filming, even during the [script reading], he was very strict when delivering the script.
Moreover, filming will start tomorrow. Today, Dong Deng gave all the actors a half-day holiday in the afternoon.
What he meant was simple.
He doesn't care what the actors are like in other crews, but on the crew of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", if there are actors who are not dedicated to their work, act like celebrities, or fall behind, then don't blame me, the old director, for not giving him face.
kindness.
These words are actually mainly spoken to a few people.
However, Dong Deng does have this confidence. If another new director had said this, he would have been rebuffed by some people on the scene.
Now that Dong Deng is on vacation, Wei Fei, Ren Shuai, and Lin Xing will get together.
As for other people who are obviously not familiar with it, then they won’t shout to avoid embarrassment.
Again, the crew is like a world, and everyone has their own small group. Most of them were not familiar with it during the [script reading], so basically they were not too enthusiastic.
Because sometimes if you are too enthusiastic, then everyone will think that you are asking for something.
Take the current crew of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" as an example. Liang Yi is one of the most popular actors in Huahai Film and Television. Although his acting skills are not very good, he is a person who is better at balancing reputation and traffic.
Then there is Ling Mei, who is favored by the gold master.
Apart from these two, Lin Xing, Ren Shuai, and Wei Fei are all acquaintances.
And whether it is the veteran actor Wu Qifeng, the new generation Wang Lu, or even other actors, etc., everyone maintains an adult social model.
A fake smile, a little enthusiastic but not much.
This filming is just work.
To put it bluntly, how many colleagues do you have a good relationship with? ?
The same goes for the crew.
Otherwise, why do people often say that the crew is not sincere?
Comparatively speaking, Lin Xing is quite lucky. Whether it is the variety show "Farming" or his performances in the three dramas "Bad Boys", "Bad Boys" and "Portrait of a Murderer", he has It counts as making a few friends.
Of course, no one can say how far these friends will go in the future.
But at least for now it's still good.
Just like Wei Fei, she has always regarded Lin Xing as her younger brother.
No, Wei Fei still advised Lin Xing that whether a drama is popular or not really depends on metaphysics, because whether a drama is popular or not often depends on too many comprehensive considerations.
Even the actors can't decide anything.
So, don’t be fooled by some nonsense on the Internet.
An actor should not care about the cast, an actor should choose a good script, an actor should choose a good script, etc.
Wei Fei thinks none of these are important.
"Axing, I have been in this industry for so many years. Sometimes you accept a good script but it doesn't mean that the drama will be exactly the same as the script..."
Wei Fei persuaded Lin Xing: "Do those who make bad movies think it is a bad movie before they start shooting? Of course not. When they start shooting, they all think that the work they are making is a phenomenal work..."
Ren Shuai smiled bitterly: "Sister Fei, you can use me as an example. Ah Xing, all the dramas I filmed before were flopped, including the male lead, so I chose "For Whom the Bell Tolls" "This TV series."
"Ren Shuai, you are a negative example. I just want Ah Xing to choose the second male lead instead of the second male lead..."
Wei Fei said again: "Because if you don't choose the male first while you can still choose the male first, then I'm afraid you won't have the qualifications to choose the male first when you want to choose the male first."
This is Wei Fei's words from someone who has experienced it, or a lesson learned from experience.
Wei Fei was brainwashed by some trends in the industry at the beginning, so she had almost no chance of being the female lead.
There are many people like Wei Fei in this circle.
Ren Shuai did not agree with what Wei Fei said: "Axing, I think you made the right choice. Look, I just gave up the male lead to choose our drama."
With that said, Ren Shuai said to Wei Fei: "Sister Fei, I know you have experienced this, but you seem to have forgotten something."
Wei Fei was stunned: "What???"
Ren Shuai said: "Male artists and female artists are different. The golden age of male artists is never too late, even starting from the age of 45. If you look at the actors in the industry, they filmed when they were in their 30s. They are not all that good, but they have honed their acting skills, and their reputation is not bad, so as long as they have a few good dramas, they can become popular..."
Wei Fei: "???"
Heartbroken.
Only then did Wei Fei realize that Ren Shuai was indeed right.
Why does Ren Shuai dare to give up the male lead? ?
That's because Ren Shuai's current reputation is not very good, and he needs a work to save his reputation, even if he is the third male actor, he doesn't care.
But female artists are different.
When a female artist gets older, it will be difficult for her to play the leading female role.
After all, not everyone is like An Yifeng, who is only 30 years old after working in the film industry for more than ten years.
"drink wine."
Wei Fei simply stopped trying to persuade Lin Xing. She thought she should just drink.
The next day, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was ready to start shooting at the Shanghai Film and Television Base.
The start-up ceremony has almost been arranged.
This is not like the two web dramas "Bad Kid" and "Portrait of a Murderer". Although the media paid attention to it at that time, it was far from the focus.
After all, at that time, except for Lin Xing, there was basically no talent left.
But today is different. Today, not only the actors, but also the directors and screenwriters are enough to attract the media.
The entire cast of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was here, and Lin Xing also met An Yifeng. Not to mention, An Yifeng is really suitable for the role of Lin Diewu.
According to the setting in the play, Lin Diewu was a poor person. She finally met a sweetheart, but that sweetheart was killed by bandits.
Then she took revenge and killed the bandits, but she was also caught. When she was executed, she was saved by Liu Haotian, the military commander, and then she became Chen Xueli's life and death partner.
This character needs to be beautiful, because Lin Diewu’s setting is to have a confusing face. This face is also Lin Diewu’s murder weapon.
When Liu Haotian saved Lin Diewu, it was not Liu Haotian's so-called justice. On the contrary, he also saved Lin Diewu because of her face.
Secondly, An Yifeng has a background in martial arts. Lin Diewu has been training in the military for a period of time. An Yifeng should be suitable for playing such a role.
In addition to An Yifeng, Lin Xing also met Wang Lu.
That's right.
During the [Script Reading], although Na Lingmei was a resource person, she still came to participate in the [Script Reading], but neither An Yifeng nor Wang Lu participated in the [Script Reading].
Both of them arrived just in time to start the phone.
This Wang Lu is four years older than An Yifeng, but Wang Lu is far behind An Yifeng in terms of popularity and status.
Over the years, Wang Lu has only been able to play small roles.
This time she was able to participate in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" because she is an artist from Huahai Film and Television. More importantly, Wu Jingyi's original choice was Bai Dan from Huahai Film and Television.
But Bai Dan refused.
Because Bai Dan felt that Wu Jingyi was a negative character. After all, this character was a traitor, and there were several killing scenes in the play. Therefore, Huahai Film and Television simply let Wang Lu participate.
At this time, Wang Lu was still filming another film, so she could only join the team after filming that one.
Fortunately, she arrived in time to turn it on.
At the scene, many people were chatting with An Yifeng before the camera started.
Liang Yi has worked with An Yifeng before, and Ren Shuai has also worked with An Yifeng. As for Wei Fei, she played An Yifeng's sister before.
Then, Wu Qifeng played An Yifeng's father before.
Take a look.
This is the entertainment industry. Although An Yifeng is not old, she is already an experienced actress and has been in this industry for so many years. Naturally, she is familiar with many people.
In comparison, Wang Lu seems to be relatively unnoticed.
Right.
An unimportant little guy, who cares?
"Everyone, get ready. Next, turn on the phone and worship God..."
At this time, some members of the crew had already begun to prepare.
After this set of procedures was completed, Dong Deng was heard shouting loudly: "Now I announce that "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has started filming."
The scene burst into applause.
The publicity and distribution department has also started taking photos, and there will definitely be some publicity and distribution during today's launch.
In addition, the cast members of the crew will also attend a media meeting.
"Teacher Lin, you will also participate later."
At this time, the assistant director said to Lin Xing.
Lin Xing nodded slightly: "Okay."
So, 10 minutes later, Lin Xing and others attended the launch conference.
There are 6 people in total, Lin Xing, Liang Yi, An Yifeng, Wang Lu, Ren Shuai, and Ling Mei.
Obviously this was deliberately arranged by the crew.
Three men and three women.
Wei Fei did not participate.
Obviously, in the eyes of the crew, Wei Fei is not very topical.
As for these six people, except Wang Lu, the other five are quite topical.
What's more, these 6 people all play opposite each other.
What the crew wants is publicity, and what the media wants is topics.
