People in China Entertainment, bring capital into the group at the beginning

Chapter 461 Zhang Songwen!

In the middle of 2019, the TV series "The Hidden Corner" started filming in Zhanjiang, South Guangdong. When the news of Chen Zhibin starring in this drama was released, everyone was quite surprised. After all, his current popularity is at the height of his popularity in the film industry. It is indeed a bit overkill to suddenly go to film a TV series.

The previous "Celebrating More Than Years" can still be understood, because it is a big IP production, and the investment amount alone is nearly [-] million. Considering this data, even most film works do not have such high investment.

Under such circumstances, of course it can be performed!

But now that Chen Zhibin suddenly stars in a low-cost TV series, most fans and some netizens in the front row are quite surprised.

"Oh, it's produced by my own company? That's fine!" When they saw the name of the production company, everyone became more aware of his approach.

After all, from the beginning when Chen Zhibin entered the entertainment industry, basically every film and television drama was financed, and they were all extremely popular.

Enthusiastic netizens made a calculation for him. Although Chen Zhibin's current salary is already so high, it is still far behind compared to the return on investment, so everyone came to a unanimous conclusion.

That is, even though Chen Zhibin has become a super popular person in the entertainment industry and is very popular, the speed at which he makes money personally is still far behind the investment department of film and television works under his name.

That's right, it's a department. The investment projects of Abin Venture Capital cover all walks of life, and investment in film and television works is just one of its branches.

Especially in this department, in addition to the dramas starring Chen Zhibin, it also invests in other film and television dramas in the industry, and the rate of return is quite good. About eight out of ten dramas can make money.

Although the remaining two films lost money, they did not lose much. It could almost be said to be minimal. This was Chen Zhibin's deliberate approach.

As we all know, investing without knowing the inside story is actually not much different from so-called gambling. It can even be said to be a different kind of gamble.

But in comparison, one is more confident!

Although Chen Zhibin doesn't know the inside story, he knows the final result. The approach of winning more and losing less is the safest and longest-lasting approach.

Since it is a TV series adapted from a novel, and the starring role of Chen Zhibin is extremely popular, the crew of "The Hidden Corner" did not do much publicity in the early stage, and quietly started shooting in Zhanjiang, southern Guangdong, focusing on filming.

As for the cast, it is almost the same as in the previous life. Except for Chen Zhichao replacing Qin Hao as Zhang Dongsheng, the rest is basically unchanged.

After joining the crew and officially starting filming, Chen Zhibin understood why this drama became a hit in his previous life, because in addition to the wonderful plot, the casting also played a large part in the reason.

Whether it is Zhang Songwen, Wang Jingchun, or Liu Lin, these are all veteran actors in the entertainment industry, especially Zhang Songwen. At the beginning of 2023, he successfully became popular with the role of Gao Qiqiang in "Hurry Up".

However, his current salary is still very low. Before the broadcast of "The Hidden Corner", Zhang Songwen's salary was about 9000 yuan per episode. Although this figure is very good compared with ordinary people who earn [-] yuan a month, But for high-income people like actors, it can only be said that they are very far behind.

After the show was aired, Zhang Songwen's salary had a small spring. Later, "Sweeping Gangs: Decisive Battle" and "Revolutionary" were added. When he starred in "Hurious", his salary It rose to 500 million.

After starring in "Hurry Up", his net worth has skyrocketed, and his popularity even surpassed that of the leading actor Zhang Yi.

Before that, Zhang Yi was already very well-known, and he even received [-] million yuan in salary for his role in "Hurry".

Of course, without this episode of "The Hidden Corner" which paid 9000 yuan, it is still unknown whether Zhang Songwen could play the role of Gao Qiqiang.

In addition, the casting of three young actors, Shi Pengyuan, Rong Zishan, and Wang Shengdi, were also very successful. It can be said that almost all the actors have excellent acting skills.

Facts have proved that in addition to the "Let's go mountain climbing together" plot, this drama can successfully become popular because it has many other elements and conditions.

As the saying goes, if you are close to Zhu, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black. Chen Zhibin's acting skills cannot be said to be remarkable, but they are quite satisfactory. They are always at least much better than many stars who are not doing their jobs in the entertainment industry. In this kind of acting, including young actors, In an environment where everyone's acting skills are on the line, he naturally can't hold back.

"Teacher Chen, you're working so hard!" As the second male lead, Wang Jingchun was very surprised. This was very different from what he had originally imagined.

When Wang Jingchun was first invited to co-star with a super popular star like Chen Zhibin, he didn't refuse. After all, it was for traffic! Especially when the script is quite good, it would be wasted if it is not filmed.

However, after arriving on the set, Wang Jingchun was surprised, because Chen Zhibin not only did not have any idol baggage in terms of being ugly, but also worked very hard on the set, which made him feel a strong sense of crisis for the first time.

After all, no matter how handsome Chen Zhibin is, he is still a popular actor for a powerful actor like Wang Jingchun, and it is impossible to surpass him in terms of acting skills.

However, Wang Jingchun couldn't help but change his mind now, because Chen Zhibin didn't play according to common sense at all. A popular niche like him worked so hard, so how could actors like them, who rely on their strength to make a living, survive?

Their appearance is not as good as that of young actors. After all, they have always been working hard for their acting skills. However, Chen Zhibin's acting skills actually chased them away. This made the powerful actors like Wang Jingchun not panic. For the first time, they hated involution so much.

If young actors work as hard as Chen Zhibin, it will definitely be more difficult for them to survive in the film and television industry.

When you see young actors who are popular but don't work hard, you will inevitably feel angry and sad about their misfortune. However, young actors who are popular and hard-working will inevitably make veteran actors like them feel panicked in their hearts!

"It's impossible to work with talented actors like Brother Song Wen and Teacher Wang without working hard!" Chen Zhibin said very politely. He was also afraid of being thrown away by the actors in the same crew, which would be embarrassing.

Just like Brother Xiao Ming, who is a [-]-[-] entertainment industry, if you want everyone to fail together, but if you are into acting, then I will definitely have to work harder.

At this moment, Chen Zhibin was wearing a white T-shirt. There were only a few hairs in the middle of his head, and he was bald.

Under such circumstances, even Chen Zhibin's appearance still couldn't stand up, not to mention that the crew also put dark makeup on his face. If Chen Zhibin stood in front of him now, his pink face would probably fall off in a minute, because this is completely different from his usual image.

Even if Chen Zhibin usually has no idol baggage and is not so exaggerated when he lets himself go, who can imagine that the same face can have such a big difference with just a slight change!

In the front is a handsome guy, in the back is an ordinary man, and there is a mole on his face. This one didn't exist originally, but it was added on Chen Zhibin's initiative.

Since you want to act ugly, then act a little more thoroughly. If it weren't for the fact that he could easily cover his bald spot by buying a hood, Chen Zhibin would have wanted to go completely bald.

In today's entertainment industry, the greater the contrast between young actors before and after they act ugly, and the more scandalous they are, the easier it is for them to be recognized by passers-by, netizens and anti-fans.

As long as Chen Zhibin still looks good when he attends events, no matter how ugly he looks in the drama, fans will not lose their fans because of it!

"Seeing you working so hard, Brother Qin Songwen and Teacher Wang should be unable to sit still." Liu Lin, who plays Chaoyang's mother, joked from the side.

"No, no!" After hearing Liu Lin's words, Wang Jingchun quickly retorted: "We can only make the show well by working together, right?"

"Yes!" Zhang Songwen next to him said in agreement: "A good drama does not rely on the efforts of one person, but on the efforts of a group of people!"

"That's true!" Chen Zhibin agreed very much, because whether it is "The Hidden Corner" or "Crazy", these two dramas have one thing in common, that is, most of the actors' acting skills are still very good, and some of them are not. , which can be said to be quite conspicuous and abrupt.

And Chen Zhibin obviously doesn’t want to be one of them!

Anyway, there are only these regular actors in this crew, and apart from commuting to and from the hotel for filming every day, there is nothing else to do. Chen Zhibin can take this opportunity to concentrate on polishing his acting skills.

In fact, regarding the choice of the heroine Xu Jing, Chen Zhibin originally wanted director Xin Shuang to replace him with someone a little older. However, after the other party auditioned according to his request, he insisted that an older person was not suitable to play with him. Even if you add a sense of age to your makeup, it will be inconsistent.

In addition, the photos did not have the high-end feel he wanted.

What else can Chen Zhibin say about this? He couldn't just say openly that he wanted to be older, didn't he mean the age of the actress?

"Older, older, did I say age?"

With Chen Zhibin's identity, he definitely couldn't say it clearly, but the cooperation between the two was probably a one-time deal.

After filming "The Hidden Corner", even if Xin Shuang still has a contract with his company for the next drama, Chen Zhibin personally will never cooperate with the other party again. How many people who are really engaged in art are a bit extraordinary. , this kind of director company can focus on cultivating, and it will definitely produce many wonderful dramas, and it can also make a lot of money for the company, but in-depth cooperation is not enough.

Suddenly, Chen Zhibin felt a little nostalgic for the talented directors in the past who could neither stop themselves from filming nor only allow themselves to film.

But now that it’s here, Chen Zhibin definitely needs to finish filming this drama before that, just think of it as a subversive masterpiece of his own transformation!

Facts have proved that people have great potential, and Chen Zhibin's acting skills were already polished. In such a highly competitive crew, he quickly achieved remarkable results by leaps and bounds.

Among them, there are Chen Zhibin's own efforts, as well as the help of veteran actors such as Zhang Songwen, Wang Jingchun and Liu Lin. When they teach and impart experience to young actors such as Shi Pengyuan and Rong Zishan, he will also learn from the side.

Of course, this is partially related to the fact that Chen Zhibin has been filming in the film and television industry and has never appeared in variety shows, because it not only directly reduces the exposure and maintains the actor's sense of mystery, but also needs to polish his own acting skills more solidly. , so that it can be used to a greater extent.

Next, Chen Zhibin was either busy filming or learning the acting methods of several people on the set every day. Before he knew it, more than a month had passed, and he finally got the "mountain climbing" scene that was most widely circulated on the Internet.

Chen Zhibin prepared for this shot for nearly a month, and now he can finally perform it. He is still very excited, as if he has seen the various complex expressions of the audience when the TV series is broadcast.

In fact, before this, many of the film and television dramas starring Chen Zhibin had their own hot memes, such as Yue Qiluo's line "Zhang Xianzong, I have a toothache" in "Wuxin Master", and "Charlotte" with its own BGM and Yuan Hua, the tide elf with snowy special effects, and Yu Wenhuai, who fell into an ice cave at the end of "The Legend of Chu Qiao" and was soaked for several years but was not rescued...

Although these works have been around for a long time, on the short video platform, they will become popular from time to time, providing Chen Zhibin with wave after wave of popularity, which is simply more effective than a new drama!

And now, there is another story about Chen Zhibin’s character: “Shall we go hiking together?” This scene was successfully created under the green screen today.

The mountain in the TV series was climbed up in post-processing. Of course, it is impossible to actually push down two actors because of this scene of pushing down the mountain.

Before the official start of filming, the two veteran actors who played Zhang Dongsheng's father-in-law and mother-in-law sat on a box with a green screen. The latter was covered with a thick soft cushion to avoid being seriously injured when she fell.

After all, the two veteran actors are not too young, so it is better to be safe. If they accidentally fall and get injured, it will be troublesome.

After everything was ready, the filming officially started, and it was finally time for Chen Zhibin to show off his acting skills. This scene will become a classic in the future. Every shot must be perfectly performed, and no details can be overlooked.

"Mom, please put your feet down. This foot can come down." Zhang Dongsheng, played by Chen Zhibin, was helping his mother-in-law pose in the camera. At this time, his father-in-law, who already looked down on him, impatiently urged: "Okay!"

"Okay." Zhang Dongsheng, with sinister eyes, raised his head and took a look, then pushed the father-in-law and mother-in-law down together.
