Actor: My Entertainment Era

The past two years have been the time when the popularity of Xiaoxianrou was at its peak.

How crazy was it then? As long as the names of those top young talents appear in the starring list, downstream investors will purchase and invest at a premium.

After three or four turns, someone took over.

There is no script, but as long as the starring role of Xiao Xianrou is agreed upon, investment can be obtained.

Investors don't read the script or the team. As long as those people's names are there, they will give money, and they will be willing to give money.

100 million salary? Still give it!
It's just so crazy, it's just so unreasonable.

This trend came so fast that many senior artists could not resist it.

Zhang Yuanjun's salary was already the highest in the industry before this. Although it was controversial, the market and investors recognized his salary. When Zhang Yuanjun was filming "The Secret of the Dragon" in 14, the crew was overtime, so he renewed his contract. , Zhang Yuanjun’s total salary income was 4700 million.

5000 million was already the ceiling at that time. It wasn’t that we couldn’t continue to raise the price, but that it would lose practical significance if it was any higher. You could quote million, but the market size and recognition have not yet reached million.

Zhang Yuanjun’s team also believes that 5000 million is a number that is more in line with Zhang Yuanjun’s strength and influence, and is also a number that is acceptable in the current market.

But when they learned that Wu signed a minimum price of 7000 million, and Lu Han asked for 1 million for a TV series, Zhang Yuanjun's team was stunned.

I quoted 5000 million because I am a three-gold Grand Slam Best Actor. I have not had a bad movie in more than ten years since my debut. I have accumulated box office and audience reputation for more than ten years, and have won the trust of investors.

Why do you dare to pay so much?

The reaction of Zhang Yuanjun’s team is a typical example.

Under the trend of "little fresh meat", many actors in the industry do not understand why investors are willing to give them such high remuneration.

Many people can't stand it, and many people are unhappy about it, so in the past two years, some people have been criticizing Xiao Xianrou for being paid too high.

Criticizing the unhealthy trends in the industry, but there is indeed a trace of jealousy mixed in - why can’t I get so much money?

Nowadays, if the summer performance is not good, the little fresh meat will naturally be pulled out and whipped.

Although it is often said that I believe in the audience and the market.

But speaking with conscience, many people in the industry have resented the audience in their hearts: "Why do you want to watch this kind of thing! You know that his acting is rubbish, why do you still want to watch it! If you don't watch it, he won't make any money. He wouldn’t make such trashy movies!”

But many people don't have the courage of Feng Xiaogang. They don't dare to call the audience trash or say that the audience's aesthetics are poor.

Zhang Yuanjun sometimes feels that the audience's low-level aesthetics has caused a distorted market, but he doesn't have the courage to scold the audience.

He is more indifferent.

Behind his indifference was his pride. He didn't think Wu Huan and others could be called actors, even though they were apparently doing the job of actors.

They are not actors and are not in the same industry as him, so it is none of his business whether they live or die based on how much money they get.

When they met, the other party said hello politely, and then he asked, "Want to work together?" Sorry, Zhang Yuanjun has the right to refuse them, and his words to the management are also effective.

I believe that the team of Xiaoxianrou also know that they cannot fit in at all and do not need to fit in with the actors, so they will not think about playing with the actors.

They have their own circle.

Among the following actors, who stands out from others:

Zhang Yuanjun, Xia Yu, Yuan Quan, Gong Li, Wu Zhuan.

It's a good choice.

Zhang Yuanjun did not participate in this little fresh meat criticism meeting.

Because he is not optimistic about this kind of dry talk, and it is more about expressing emotions. A well-known producer in the industry has said not to use this group of people: "Our fault now lies in the hands of producers and investors. You know that he will not act because of the high salary, but you still invite him. After the performance, the results are not good, and now he comes again." He scolded me, you just didn't invite him in the first place." But it's no use, I still have to invite him.

He was busy rehearsing and looking forward to the first fetal movement of his children.

Zhang Yuanjun climbed the stairs with his wife this morning.

Liu Yifei usually just holds on to the stair railing and walks slowly, but today she was supported by Zhang Yuanjun.

Liu Yifei didn't buy it and said he was hypocritical and attentive.

Zhang Yuanjun was thick-skinned and said: "I will also participate, lest you say that you have a husband who will not participate in anything except exerting force in bed."

Liu Yifei laughed angrily at his words: "That's why I said you were being attentive." Liu Yifei grabbed her husband's hand and climbed up step by step.

He added: "Have you been scolding Xiaoxianrou lately? I was watching the rehearsal at the theater, and several teachers were also talking about this."

"Just curse a few times, the market is really too chaotic now." Zhang Yuanjun helped his wife go up another level, "It's a bit hot."

Zhang Yuanjun added: "I have thought about how this trend will develop in the future."

"Ok?"

Zhang Yuanjun said: "Aren't we scolding Xiao Xianrou and calling for acting talents now? When the market really can't stand this group of people, they may come up with a combination of Xiao Xianrou and a capable actor. Xiao Xianrou will still act The protagonists and important supporting roles are played by Mesozoic or veteran actors. With this combination, the acting skills of the whole drama will not be too ugly, and the talented actors can use their words to praise the little fresh meat and become someone who respects the seniors and learns from them humbly. good reputation."

Liu Yifei thought about this combination and said: "This combination is actually not bad. At least some middle-aged and elderly actors can have scenes."

This is true. The atmosphere of fresh young actors and experienced actors has indeed given job opportunities to many actors who are old and have no acting experience.

Liu Yifei was tired and sat on the steps. Zhang Yuanjun took the straw cup off her neck and handed it to her.

The two of them were sitting on the steps. Zhang Yuanjun said: "Actually, there is nothing we can do about it. The screen always likes to see beautiful young people. We used to be scolded for acting in "The Condor"."

"You are the one who gets scolded mainly. Many people like my little dragon girl." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"You can't blame me, Zhang Jizhong's makeup, hair, and hair dryer, no one else can handle it." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.

The two were sitting on the steps talking privately, and Liu Yifei suddenly shouted: "Ah!"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuanjun felt nervous.

"Move." Liu Yifei pointed to her belly, took her husband's hand and put it on her belly.

"Is it really moving?" Zhang Yuanjun was surprised and quickly listened to it to feel it carefully.

"It moved." Liu Yifei was sure.

But Zhang Yuanjun touched his wife's belly and felt no movement: "You don't want to go to the toilet. Your stomach rumbles and you think it's fetal movement."

Just after he finished speaking, Zhang Yuanjun clearly felt a twitch on his hand. Zhang Yuanjun grinned: "Hey, hey, he's really moving. He's so good.

"I know daddy misses you, so I know how to move."

Liu Yifei asked him: "Do you think the boss is moving or the second child is moving?"

"Whether it's the eldest or the second oldest, I'm happy." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.

After these two twitches, Zhang Yuanjun did not feel the next fetal movement.

Liu Yifei asked him to help her downstairs, and Zhang Yuanjun helped Liu Yifei down like a queen mother.

"I have to write it down quickly." Zhang Yuanjun took out their baby care notebook and wrote down the time of the first fetal movement. (End of chapter)
