I'm just an actor

Chapter 258
On the way home, classmate Xiao Zhang sat in the co-pilot and asked puzzledly: "Mr. Xu, I remembered Sister Fangfang said just now, are you going to push Xu?"

Xu Rong squinted at her and said, "Yes, it was proposed by Jin Fangfang, try to see if you can get a front-line role through promotion and some less demanding roles, just like the big heroine workplace that has become popular recently The drama, anyway, reads the lines as a vase, whoever reads the lines."

"Isn't that good for her development?"

Xu Rong smiled and said: "You don't know her well, this is what she expects, and do you know how much money the studio makes a year?"

Xiao Zhang hasn't calculated this detailed account, and she shouldn't guess rashly, because the slightly deeper concept in her mind about Mr. Xu's salary is when his salary was just 12 per episode.

After that, it made no difference to her.

She couldn't earn it anyway.

If she could earn that much money, why would she visit a gold shop?
Talk about weight directly!
Xu Rong saw classmate Xiao Zhang staring at him blankly, and said: "Going to sell the money for "Da Ming", just my annual film salary plus endorsements, the bottom line is [-] million, which is a bit ostentatious, but if the time comes Claiming that Xu Xing made the money, the sharp contradiction can be transferred to another group."

"You should understand that recently, many people and the media have been criticizing actors for their high pay. The circle is also relatively top-notch, and I must immediately push out someone to stand in front of me."

Xiao Zhang vaguely knew Xu Xing's thoughts, and said: "Then what do you mean, high salary is not a good thing?"

"of course not."

Xu Rong laughed, and said: "The leading actor's salary is high, and we should indeed pay attention to it, but we should pay more attention to the reasons for this phenomenon. Why is the salary so high? I'm not talking about why it's where it is today."

"The agreement is kept confidential, and the actors themselves will not reveal it. Then you think, who leaked the exact amount of remuneration?"

Xiao Zhang became more and more puzzled, and asked, "Made, who made it?"

"Yes, whether it's the new influx of capital or traditional film and television production companies, they are the promoters of the controversy over actors' pay. Otherwise, why would no one criticize the low wages of actors in the theater? Because of the rising wages, let them bear the burden. At the same time as the risk is greater, the increase in income is not exponentially higher than the risk."

"For a long time, TV stations have made the most money in the TV drama industry. In the film industry, it's production companies and theaters. Why didn't anyone stand up and criticize them at that time? Because they didn't dare. In comparison, actors are actually a disadvantaged group, so, When actors want a little more of the cake, some people can't sit still."

"Their ideal state is that an actor can spend 5 yuan."

Classmate Xiao Zhang nodded half-understood, then asked: "Then why do you say that too high a salary is not a good thing?"

"Actors' remuneration is too high. For the producers, the risks they take are multiplied. Five or six years ago, a film could be shot with an investment of just over 1000 million yuan, and it could be paid back by a few sales. But now, For example, if you invite me to make a movie, I will have to take up a budget of 2000 million by myself, which means that the total investment will be at least 3000 million. The income is more than half, and the TV station is similar. Originally, they could buy a movie with 6000 million yuan, but because of the increase in production costs, they had to spend more money to buy the movie. What they saw was not what they saw because of me. The reason is that I have earned more, but I feel that I have not earned enough.”

"But on the other hand, excessive remuneration is also a huge harm to the actors, because in order to control risks and reduce costs as much as possible, the producers will inevitably produce shoddy production, or simply use the money to create stars, and then sign the contract. The next [-]-[-] cent ten-year contract, although the film salary also needs to be paid, but it is just a transfer of money from the left hand to the right hand, and everything earned is profit."

"The final result is the current situation, the overall decline in the quality of TV dramas."

Xu Rong sighed, and continued: "This is the evil result of the influx of capital. Although they raised the salary at the beginning, the purpose of the capital is to maximize the benefits. As for the life and death of the entire industry, they are not concerned about it. "

"Ah, is it so serious?" Xiao Zhang's face was serious, as if she was the first to bear the brunt, "What if the salary is lowered?"

"This is caused by supply and demand. The demand is greater than the supply. The salary will never be lowered. Forcibly lowering it will only lead to worse consequences."

"Then, will it continue to rot?"

"Absolutely not." Xu Rong shook his head, "It's like drama, which has suddenly become popular again in the past few years. Why? Because the quality of most audiences is improving, and some people can't accept the capital stuffing shit into their mouths. Especially if there are a few companies that are serious about making good dramas, in contrast, the public opinion will explode, and the backlash will come. Therefore, to be a good actor honestly, in such a big market, this kind of overall shoddy production is only temporary of."

Xiao Zhang frowned, looking thoughtful, after a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked: "But, if this is the case, it seems that there is no need to push Xu Xing, right?"

"Let's not talk about it, you're the one who deserves it."

What Xu Rong didn't say was that Xu Xing was very similar to Yang Mi, but the biggest difference between the two was that Yang Mi's ambition, ability, and execution ability matched, while Xu Xing's ambition and ability were completely unequal, just like Xu Xing. Without him to take care of her brain, in this cannibalistic industry, she would at best be reduced to someone else's plaything by virtue of her naturally good skin.

Anyway, after all, Xu Xing is his younger sister and has been his assistant. This is not what he wants to see, and in the process of pushing her, he believes that Xu Xing will gradually understand what he told her about Huang Xiaoming now. comparison with the past state.

In the past few years, especially after he became popular, he acted extremely carefully and cautiously, and bumps and bumps were unavoidable, and Xu Xing, even if he strongly praised him, there was a high probability that he would rise to the highest point like a bright firework. After the most dazzling brilliance bloomed in the room, it disappeared.

Early the next morning.

Xu Rong took Jin Fangfang and Yuan Weihui and flew to Changsha to attend the fans and media meeting of "Before Dawn", warming up for the premiere of "Before Dawn" tonight.

When the meeting was over, he had to fly back to the capital immediately to attend the meeting hosted by the capital TV station.

When "Before Dawn" went on sale, Hualu offered a sky-high price of 300 million yuan for the exclusive broadcast of an episode. Of course, the purpose of this move was not to sell the exclusive broadcast rights, but to fail to sell them.

The high price did not affect the enthusiasm of the major TV stations at all, and even because of the finalization of "Dawn", each TV station had to temporarily shelve the release plan of the new drama.

The popularity of "Latent" and "Daughter-in-law" is still vivid in the major TV stations, and it has returned to the field of spy warfare that Xu Rong is best at. No TV station dares to fight.

In the end, the right to broadcast the first round of "Before Dawn" was seized by Beijing Satellite TV, Mango TV, Dragon TV, and Southern TV, four TV stations that often deal with Xu Rong.

And in order to prevent the random broadcasting phenomenon during "Latent" from recurring, the four TV stations also signed an agreement.

The broadcast will start in prime time on the 12th, with two episodes broadcast every day.

Xu Rong exhausted all his efforts in the promotion of "Before Dawn", and he even promoted it in "Art Life".

"Daughter-in-law" he can resign himself to fate, but as a spy war "Before Dawn", he still hopes to do his best in all aspects, at least not to smash his own brand.

Originally, Mango Channel hoped that he could record an episode of "Happy Camp", but he refused it almost without thinking about it.

The platform of "Happy Camp" is too small, what he needs is the attention of the national media, and the audience of Kuaiben has never overlapped with the audience of his plays.

"Xu Rong, judging from the synopsis of the plot circulating on the Internet, "Before Dawn" seems to be very similar to "Latent"?" A reporter who was extremely "lucky" and asked immediately after the meeting had just begun.

Xu Rong looked at the dozens of cameras under the stage, smiled and pointed to Yuan Wei who was wearing a long black dress beside him, and said, "If Song Jia stood here, I would definitely not refute your words, but seeing Teacher Yuan Wei is so intellectual and elegant. Diva, do you think she's going to yell at me?"

"Hahaha."

After the laughter fell, Xu Rong continued: "First of all, I want to explain that the script of "Before Dawn" came from a dream of Mr. Huang Sanshi a few years ago, so there is no such thing as plagiarism or being plagiarized. In addition, the script of "Before Dawn" The story to be told in "Before" is completely different from "Latent", and Liu Xinjie is also a completely different person from Yu Zecheng, everyone will understand this after reading it."

"Okay, next question."

The second lucky reporter who was picked changed the topic to Yuan Wei: "Mr. Yuan Wei, there are rumors on the Internet that Xu Rong invited you to act in this drama. Is it true?"

Yuan Wei held the microphone with both hands, and said with a gentle smile: "Yes, I didn't plan to answer it at first, because I didn't know him well, and I didn't want to accept spy war dramas, but after reading the script, I kind of I feel that if I don’t accept it, it will be a regret for my whole life.”

There was a commotion immediately at the scene. It was not a secret at all that Xu Rong snatched Xia Yu's role back then.

Now that Yuan Wei said such a thing, it was really surprising.

"Mr. Xu, may I ask why you invited Yuan Wei to play the role instead of Song Jia, who has worked with you before?"

When Xu Rong saw the reporters rushing to ask questions, he couldn't help admiring. The arrangement of Mango Channel was really tight. This question was actually the third question that should have been asked, so he smiled and said, "You also heard her say just now. Yeah, before filming "Dawn", I didn't know Yuan Wei, I only watched a play she acted in, but the moment I saw the role of Gu Yejia, her appearance immediately appeared in my mind , because she is the actress I know whose temperament best suits this role, and who can add points to the play."

At the end of the meeting, a face-to-face female reporter threw the most important bomb of the day: "Xu Rong, do you think "Before Dawn" will be your new peak in the field of spy dramas?"

Naturally, Xu Rong would not make the mistake of making historical nihilism, and said: "I can tell everyone responsibly that "Before Dawn" will definitely be a very, very good-looking spy war drama, and from my feelings, it is wonderful. The level is definitely not inferior to "Latent"."

After Xu Rong's voice fell, the reporters in the audience fell into a strange silence, forming two extremes with the cheering fans behind.

Don't lose "Latent", is this to promote the new drama without even losing face?
Can a phenomenal drama like "Latent" be easily comparable?
Even though you were the starring role before, the script and director are completely different!

At this time, most of the reporters at the scene thought Xu Rong was bragging, but they sent the news back to the agency without hesitation.

In the media industry, time is life, and topic is vitality!

After the press conference, Xu Rong immediately took Jin Fangfang back to the capital non-stop. After eating something on the plane, he immediately had to rush to the meeting site in the capital to meet with Liu Jiang, who went to Shanghai and Guangzhou to promote Lin Yongjian will reconcile.

On the bus to the airport arranged by Mango TV, Yuan Wei glanced at him worriedly, and asked, "Isn't it a bit too much to say that just now?"

Xu Rong smiled and said, "Before coming here, Liu Jiang and Luo Liping called me, hoping that I would be bold and say that "Before Dawn" is a spy war that surpasses "Latent", but I am afraid of being slapped in the face."

"Haha."

Seeing that Yuan Huang was a little sleepy, Xu Rong said, "Go to sleep for a while, and I'll call you when you get to the airport."

"it does not matter."

Yuan Wei shook his head lightly, the car suddenly fell silent, after waiting for a while, seeing that Xu Rong stopped talking, she said, "I heard that you will be rehearsing a new play next year?"

"Huh?" Xu Rong looked at her suspiciously, "How do you know?"

Yuan Wei smiled and said: "Now it's spread all over the drama circle, next year you will launch a super big production with three generations of old, middle-aged and young co-starring."

Xu Rong didn't deny any more. Although "Family" doesn't have as many actors as "Tea House", it is not comparable to "Thunderstorm". Coupled with the joining of two old men, Lan Tianye and Zhu Xu, the news can't be covered at all.

"That's the plan, but it hasn't been fully settled yet."

Yuan Wei hesitated for a moment before tentatively saying: "If there is a shortage of actresses, you can consider me."

She knew that Xu Rong was a member of the art committee, so she could recommend actresses, and compared to Renyi, she was no outsider.

Seeing Xu Rong looking at herself puzzled, she explained: "I watched the scene that Ren Yuan and the others rehearsed two days ago, and I feel that Teacher Feng and the others are very good. If your crew is established, it should be ten years old in the drama industry." It is a rare drama, and I hope to be able to participate in it."

Xu Rong replied politely with a smile: "Let me see the situation later."

He and Yuan Wei are neither close nor close, and if there is a shortage of people, he might as well call Chen, who teaches in Chinese opera.

At the same time that Xu Rong boarded the flight back to Beijing, major domestic entertainment pages also published an explosive news.

"Shocked, Xu Rong claimed that this spy war drama is more exciting than "Latent"!"

"At the media meeting of "Before Dawn", Xu Rong's unscrupulous words may become a laughing stock!"

Since its official release in mid-June this year, "Before Dawn" has attracted the attention of major domestic film and television companies and TV stations.

Because this is a spy war drama starring Xu Rong.

Xu Rong became famous with "Yangcheng Dark Whistle", and became popular all over the country with "Harbin Under the Night", and established his status as a top domestic actor and representative actor of spy films through "Latent".

Despite the popularity of "Daughter-in-law", the audience's perception of him is no longer limited to spy wars, but he is still a representative actor of spy war dramas.

After the remarks at the meeting were taken out of context by the media, there was an uproar on the Internet.

There are expectations and critics, but unlike in the past, every time he encountered controversy, there were many ghosts and monsters popping up immediately, no matter whether he criticized or expected, this time he did not form a huge momentum.

It was like the calm before the storm, and it seemed to be afraid of something.

But more people are watching with cold eyes.

Can Xu Rong continue his splendor in the field of spy warfare?
This is the doubt of most people in the film and television industry, especially the TV drama industry in recent days.

After Xu Rong participated in the premiere meeting in Beijing, like most of the audience, he sat in front of his own TV and waited for the premiere of "Before Dawn".

It's not self-appreciation, but how much it can contribute to the ratings!
