When will I be the queen

Chapter 425 Actor
"See you at the wrap party." Cai Cai took the initiative to greet Leng Biyun, because Leng Biyun was really reluctant to leave. But it's not like they won't see each other again.
Leng Biyun's expression immediately changed and she nodded happily, revealing her fan mentality.

Jarvis sent Cai Cai out, "The new script of Misty has been revised. I guess if you don't come here, the giant elephant will ask them to find you. I have read it and I think it's okay."

Cai Cai was stunned for a moment, then nodded. If Jarvis said yes, then it should really be yes. "I understand."

In fact, the script of the new version of The Mist is very good.

Gabitt, Joey and all the producers of this season came to Cai Cai with the complete script for the entire season.

This is very rare, because it is very rare for a long-running TV series to produce a full season script all at once. Basically, there is an outline, and then each episode is added. There are too many things to consider for a full season script, and there are restrictions on funding, venues, time, etc., which is very disadvantageous for the producers. In addition, directors, screenwriters, and even actors all pay attention to improvisation and improvisation. If the script is too complete, the creators will become constrained.

Unless there is an absolute monopoly, if you only serve one company, you must have a complete script.

"Am I this family?" Cai Cai glanced at the thick complete script and pointed at herself.

Gabit laughed. "Given your situation, you should have brought your own screenwriter team a long time ago, but you didn't have any intention of doing so. Isn't this giving others an opportunity to take advantage of the situation?"

Cai Cai understood, "Who brought their own writing team?"

Joey curled his lips, "It's not just that he brought his own screenwriter, it's the entire team! He relied on his connections from his past as a musical star, and he was so arrogant that he even brought his own lipstick and foundation, not to mention the makeup and accessories."

This is normal, many artists are like this, Cai Cai has encountered many, but it just didn’t happen in the crew of the previous drama “Mist”.

Because everyone in the previous "Mist" crew was new, and she was the most famous, so she was the upper limit of the entire crew. The salary requirements of other cast members were all assumed not to exceed hers. She herself was not particular, so the crew was free, everyone was casual, and did not pay special attention to this rule. This is also a recognized unspoken rule in the crew. It is convenient for financial work, management, and suppression.
But there are exceptions. For example, artists who are managed by investors, or those with unusual family backgrounds, most commonly young or old, will be treated specially. The creation of rules has its good and bad sides.

However, under this rule, the most likely problems to arise are business issues.

For example, if the lead actor is the spokesperson for a certain brand, he or she can only wear clothes of this brand when appearing on screen. Then, other actors who appear on screen with him or her cannot wear competing products, even if they are not wearing the same brand. The best way is for all actors in the group to dress like the lead actor, which is less likely to make mistakes and saves trouble.

But sometimes, the brand endorsed by the leading actor is not as good as the brand endorsed by the supporting actor, so the big brand will put pressure on the leading actor and he cannot wear his own endorsed brand, nor will he wear the supporting actor's. The supporting actor wears clothes without obvious brand logos, and other actors will wear clothes from big brands with obvious brand logos.

These are default rules that are rarely written into contracts.

However, especially in modern dramas, there are too many disputes caused by clothing accessories, and there are all kinds of situations. Relatively speaking, costume dramas are much better.

But much better doesn't mean nothing happened.

Jewelry is the most common type of hard advertising in costume dramas. Many old jewelry brands will specifically focus on costume dramas, and take out retro models and make fake models to provide to the crew. There are also new jewelry brands that specifically cooperate with costume drama crews to advertise. Some actors are the spokespersons of jewelry brands and will bring real treasures, while others simply bring real jewelry to the crew.

At the beginning, except for the top actors in the film industry who wore real jewelry on the set, most of the jewelry on the set was the kind that cost 9.9 yuan online with free shipping. Later, copyright awareness arose, handmade jewelry began to create brands, and the crews also began to cooperate. Later, traditional clothing brands such as Hanfu became more and more mature, and the crews also began to look for designers and brands to cooperate with for costumes.

Although modern clothing is also classified as retro clothing, it is actually a collaboration with modern clothing brands. Basically, there are no brands of ancient clothing in the West.

Therefore, if the actors here want to bring the entire team into a costume drama crew, no matter how big the scale is, it will not be as big as those in China.

Domestic artists have always been the best treated in the world.
Therefore, Cai Cai thinks that Joey's complaints are nothing at all, "Renjie is a famous actor after all, and he started out in musicals, so it's normal for him to have some style."

Obviously, I am talking about the other main actor, the actor who plays the new main actor Carlson, Jonathan Costa. Uncle is a veteran actor in the circle. He has acted in children's films. Later, when he was eleven years old, he participated in a musical film. The main actor of this film is a famous actor, an actor of the status of an actor who has been recorded in film history. This film is still ranked in the top five on the list of musical themes. Jonathan's role in the film is about the fourth, and his name will definitely appear in the introduction and occasionally on the poster. It is considered his performance achievement.

The point is that this movie was later adapted into a stage play in various languages, and Jonathan also performed in it, from the age of eleven to twenty, from the fourth to the first. Although he was not the leading actor, he was also an important supporting actor. He also participated in some film and television works, and then he took on a chick flick. Although he was a supporting actor, it was a good box office and an effective performance. After that, he participated in the Diamond King series, playing a very influential Diamond King when he was young. It was a derivative story, but it was filmed for five seasons before it was discontinued, and Jonathan was the leading actor.

As of now, Jonathan is less than 30 years old. He is a high or low actor, no matter in age or performance. To put it bluntly, he has a good starting point, but not very popular, that is, low commercial value, but good quality. In China, he is the kind of actor who comes from opera performance, and he is very confident. In foreign countries, he is more confident.

When Cai Cai searched for him, she found that she had seen the musical film he starred in, but not the others. However, his videos of superhero roles were available on many video websites, and many people recommended them. He was a popular name in a small circle. His name was also listed in the actor beauty lists on some domestic and foreign websites.

But in Cai Cai's opinion, Jonathan is one of those actors who has a unique personality here. In other words, he is a special case.

Because in the West, due to cultural reasons, male actors, or all actors, including female actors, are a bit unkempt when they are not acting. At least they look unkempt. They basically do whatever they feel comfortable with and are very much the type to return to themselves. If it weren't for the paparazzi following them, they would blend into the crowd without being noticed. This is completely different from the artists in China and neighboring countries, who want to look like stars even when they go out privately, and are very exquisite from head to toe, even in a seemingly unkempt exquisiteness.

Jonathan, on the other hand, is like other Chinese celebrities. He is very refined in private. In his private photos, he is not seen without shaving or combing his hair. His outfits are ready to be photographed at any time. Although he has a good appearance and has been following this style since he was a child, he does not look too exaggerated, but his style is completely different from other celebrities here.

If other stars are stray dogs, he is a house cat. The difference is so big.

He received a lot of attention, both good and bad, but Jonathan always insisted on being himself and was not affected.

However, the most common thing is that his style is very different. Jonathan has been asked this question countless times. I don't know if it is because of the cultural and social and political atmosphere here. Even though Jonathan's public and private lovers are both women, he has never given any direct response and has always given ambiguous answers. The comments triggered by this are still both good and bad.

But as a star, it is always better to be controversial and a hot topic than to be unknown.

These are all the memories that Cai Cai remembers about Jonathan.

To be honest, in front of Gabitt, Joey, other producers, and no outsiders, Cai Cai said directly, "This actor's acting skills are just so-so. He has five seasons of long-running TV series, but he doesn't have a single acting trophy. Even "Golden Clothes and Stars" was nominated, but it was only nominated three times in total." Cai Cai is not being mean. Golden Diamond is also a top-level project. Whether it is a movie or a TV series, it has its own traffic. It is rare for a project to fail to win any awards. But Jonathan's TV series did it in the acting awards. From the leading role to the supporting role, there is no trophy.

At this point, don’t say that awards don’t mean everything. If a project really doesn’t want to win an award, it won’t participate or be shortlisted. There are many such films that simply disdain all major awards and don’t participate or register. But Jonathan’s project is obviously not of this type, and he is very active in applying for awards.

As for his appearance, "Objectively speaking, he looks good, but at this age, he is still competing with male actors in their early twenties for roles. In terms of looks and age advantage, he is not as good as Carl before. Why was he chosen as the male lead for the new season? And we even waited for his schedule."

The casting director for last season was Pete, and he is still the casting director for this season. He didn’t come this time, but Gabbitt knew what was going on.

"Actually, I wasn't waiting for him. I just said it to sound good." How should I put it? Gabite looked at Cai Cai and said, "Actually, I was waiting for your schedule."

"." It pierced her body. Cai Cai didn't understand, "Even if the fog comes earlier, I still have time. Why are you waiting for me?"

"Wait until your popularity stabilizes. Being too popular or too popular is not good." Joey was much more direct. "Artists like Carl, who sell their looks, could only play with you before, and with Lawrence as the supporting actor, they were barely worthy of your role. Now, only more heavyweight actors can play with you. But..."

Joey sighed, not worrying about Cai Cai getting angry, and said directly, "People around your age are either pure newcomers or superstars, so you will suffer if you hire them. So we can only look for older actors, but it's really hard to find someone who is older, famous enough to not be at a disadvantage to you, and has a bit of style. Pete looked for many of your classmates, but none of them were suitable. In the end, he chose Jonathan. However, he was also recommended by the capital side. Pete thought he could be used, so he kept him as a backup. And the interview went well. You have to trust the judgment of me and Gabbitt."

It pierced her again. Cai Cai was confused for a moment before she figured it out. It was the problem of the matching of actors in the circle. Just like Xianjun and the others were always worried that she would not have any movies to shoot in China. She herself was neither high nor low, and it would be even more troublesome to find actors to play with her, who were also neither high nor low. But the problem is that the actors themselves don’t think they are neither high nor low.
There is another question, the capital
Based on Tsai Tsai's experience, the results of the capital's meddling are usually bad.
"Before, The Mist was positioned as a niche film. Now we have to do a long-term project, so the people in the project held meetings and decided to raise the style of The Mist." This is why Jonathan, who came from a musical, was chosen. And except for Lawrence, all other actors were replaced because Lawrence is a TVB actress and has won awards.

Gabitt showed Cai Cai the cast list for this season. "Except for you and Lawrence, most of the rest of these people are from musicals, and they can also serve as screenwriters, directors, singers, etc. They are all trying to emulate you and copy your talent template. This is to make marketing, our Mist is a project with depth."

"." This is truly capitalist thinking.

Cai Cai really can't stand hearing words like style and depth now.

"When will the investors stop taking things for granted? Audiences watch the drama itself, not the mess behind it. As long as the quality of the drama is good, the audience likes it, and the drama is popular, then the things behind the drama do not need marketing, and the audience will naturally see them. The drama has not been filmed yet, but these things are being added. What if the drama is not good? These are arguments that the audience will laugh at, okay?" Cai Cai really has no energy to complain.

Gabite looked at Cai Cai with resentment, "We haven't started filming yet, please don't say that." Then he comforted Cai Cai, "Don't worry, I'm here, there's no way they can interfere. I rejected many of their proposals. I have a veto power." He is Jarvis's direct descendant, and he is also a rising and powerful director. Even if the investors want to replace him, it will be very difficult. The Mist project must be firmly in the hands of Jarvis's faction, and no one else can interfere.

There's no need to explain these things too clearly to Cai Cai, just let her feel at ease.

Although Cai Cai didn't believe that Gebitt had a veto, she also understood that the Mist would not be messed with. After all, this was Jarvis' project.

"The actor who plays the driver is also called Carl. I can't put my finger on him. Who is he?" Cai Cai pointed at the name Carl Beverly. It seemed that the fog had taken hold of the name Carl. Carl was everywhere.

Gabitt pulled out the interview video from his phone. "This guy is 23 years old and also works for Aaron. Do you have any impression of him? He has seen you. He has a pretty good relationship with Aaron."

Cai Cai has seen it and still has an impression of it. "But Aaron is not in this project anymore, and he is in." Even if the relationship between the two is really okay, it will be said by marketing accounts that they have a bad relationship, right? There will even be bad reviews such as stealing resources and breaking trust.

"He is of mixed descent, with a more Latino look, which is quite different from Aaron's pure white appearance, so there is no such thing as stealing the role." Gabite looked at Cai Cai speechlessly after saying this, "You can't tell the difference between our looks, right?"

Cai Cai coughed, "How is that possible!!" Actually, it's a bit. White men and white women, black men and black women, those particularly pure and orthodox looks, sometimes Cai Cai is really a bit face-blind. Oh, by the way, Latinos are not classified as white men. "So this Carl is kind of stepping on Aaron to get to the top?" Latinos are more legitimate than Aaron, a white man.

If Gabite didn't know that there was nothing between Cai Cai and Aaron, he would have thought that she was defending her boyfriend. "Aaron is filming a movie. His resources are countless times better than Carl's. Misty is not a top resource, and he is not the lead actor. It's not a loss for Aaron to leave. Besides, Aaron's previous role was a police officer, and Carl's role..."

Because of Cai Cai's request, there are no slaves in the Mist, but this is not reflected in the play, which does not mean that the audience does not understand. Those who know history know what kind of person Dolin played by Carl is. In terms of role, he is the assistant of the male protagonist, but in terms of social status, he is
Cai Cai rolled her eyes and decided not to mention this distinction.

Robert Pertwee, who played the detective Sean, followed Diandian and asked, "Who is this?" She didn't find any. It's not that she didn't find any, but a bunch of people came out and she didn't know who they were.

Gabitt also directly took the interview video, "He is the most famous stunt double, Hank's stunt double. He is the stunt double for all Hank's superhero roles. Later, Hank brought him out and signed him to the Giant Elephant, and he became a front-stage artist. There are too many male actors of his type who have not made a name for themselves in their thirties, and the audiences are easily confused by him."

Cai Cai looked at Robert on the screen and found him to be very ordinary. It was not that he was not good-looking, but as Gabitt said, tall and strong white men like Robert were everywhere on the screen. If there was no special memorable point, he would just be a special extra. In fact, the performance was effective, but it was not easy to remember. It was the type of popular, but the character and the person were not popular.

"The setting is that he is the younger brother of former detective Raymond, who was transferred away," Joey explained. "He was originally going to die in the line of duty, but if the story line was added, it would be too troublesome, so he was simply transferred away, and he only needs to perform a few lines over the phone when the time comes." However, "I think he is not as good as the previous Paul."

At least Paul is memorable and looks good. Robert is a typical detective, a comic book version turned into a real person.
