Start acting today

Chapter 329 Upstart Huang Baiyou

After processing the company's documents, Huang Baiyou continued to assemble the crew. "Nirvana in Fire" is a costumed plot drama, and Wei Ming's director team is beyond its capabilities, so the cast and crew need to put their efforts into it.

Behind the scenes, Chu Yuan was looking for suitable actors, while in front of the stage, Huang Baiyou, the producer, was in charge. Actors from the Bai Bang and Super Analytical Schools were once again used. For more than 50 episodes of film and television dramas, a large number of actors were used.

The Super Analysis School advocates "hard work and hard work in acting". Famous students in the school will give introduction opportunities to unknown students, plus Huang Baiyou is enabled.

More and more actors are eager to join the Super Analysis Sect, but Wu Zinan is very strict and must be recommended internally.

"Brother Zhou, there is a script here, do you want to read it?" Huang Baiyou called Zhou Xilin.

I haven't met Zhou Xilin much, but the two have kept in touch and have a good relationship.

"I won't act if it's not the male lead." Zhou Xilin said jokingly, "But if you are the first male lead, it's okay for me to reluctantly be the second male lead."

"He is the male lead in "Nirvana in Fire". I don't know if you heard about it, Brother Zhou. The costume drama requires three months of training." Huang Bai said.

"Of course I've heard the news. Everyone in the industry is keeping an eye on Daydream Company's first work." Zhou Xilin said, "Let me tell you, you are really discerning, and I will definitely help you win the first battle."

Such a response also means that Zhou Xilin has no objection to the training. In fact, as an actor, he will not have any resistance to joining the group for training in advance.

"Boss Huang is now a new star in the entertainment industry. When the A-shares are listed, I will definitely buy them." Zhou Xilin asked.

Yes, that's right, Huang Baiyou has registered a company, the full name is "Daydream Film Co., Ltd.", its business scope: performance brokerage and commercial performances, radio and television program production and operation, Internet sales of publications, and overseas sales of audio and video products.

"You are a new rich person. If you make more money, you can retire early." Huang Baiyou said with a smile, "It is too difficult for film and television companies to get A shares."

"It is indeed difficult, but daydreaming is different. There is no need to worry at all." Zhou Xilin said.

It is difficult for film and television companies to conduct IPOs because their performance fluctuates greatly and they often acquire "shell companies" from celebrity shareholders. A typical example is Huayi Brothers.
For example, Huayi Brothers acquired 7.56% of the equity of Haohan Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd. for 70 million yuan and established a one-day shell company with six stars: Li, Feng, AB, Zheng, Du and Chen.

There are too many examples on Earth and many parallel worlds. There are no new scams under the sun, so I won’t continue with examples.

The market in the film and television industry is highly volatile and easy to cause trouble, so it is difficult. However, the Daydream Company mentioned by Zhou Xilin is different because 20.00% of Daydream's revenue last year came from overseas distribution of drama series, and this year it has opened up the Thai market. The sustainability of profits is assured.

The two chatted for a while. Zhou Xilin mentioned this because he was very optimistic about the development of Daydream, so he wanted to make a big bet.

Zhou Xilin: [I definitely believe in the works you recommend. I am waiting for the second spring of my career. ]
After hanging up the phone, I soon received a WeChat message from Zhou.

It is not the second spring of his career. Zhou Xilin has acted in any big hit dramas in the past two or three years, but he is still doing it steadily.

[Don’t worry, you will definitely have a second spring! ]
Huang Baiyou replied that his relationship with Cheng Guang was much better before, but... he looked at the chat box with Cheng Guang——

Cheng Guang: [Brother Thirteen, don’t worry, I will definitely be ready. ]
Stop at this message.

There's no going back to being a surfer boy.

In fact, it doesn't matter if there is a huge difference in status between the two friends. The main thing is that both parties are making progress. Just like Zhou Xilin, his popularity is not firmly in the top tier, but his performance-to-price ratio is among the top tier actors.

Therefore, when Zhou Xilin faced Huang Baiyou, he would not have the idea that "he is an Asian superstar and is very far away."

On the contrary, Cheng Guang's acting skills have not improved at all, but his popularity has improved, but that's all. After realizing how exaggerated Huang Baiyou's popularity and earning ability are, his mentality can no longer be calm.Huang Baiyou stretched, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He came to the mirror and lifted his own sweatshirt - "Hey, when will the abdominal muscles and chest muscles come out? Muscles, muscles, it takes time to use them."

After muttering for a while, Huang Baiyou put on his sportswear, packed his equipment, and prepared to go out. Today is the time to learn fighting.

There are three classes each week for firearms and equipment training. Huang Baiyou's idea is very simple. At least he can build up his muscles. After all, he is also a legend in the killer world, and his figure must not be too bad.

Progress is a bit slow at the moment.

The next day, "The Truman Show" was released in other countries around the world, and it started well in China.

Word of mouth is also good.

Dai Jinxiu actively posted a film review——

[Every director only makes one movie in his life. "The Truman Show" can be regarded as a derivative of "The Granary", and the themes are all isolated individuals.

Even if individuals are subject to the "miniature world", they are still committed to seeking the meaning of their own lives.

"The Truman Show" is not only a reality show variety show that aims to criticize social entertainment products, but also sharply criticizes the spectacle phenomenon in our lives. ]
This film review is not so easy to understand, and requires a certain amount of prerequisite knowledge to understand. "Granary" is Cen He's second debut film. The first was a commercial film shot for Bayi Film Studio. It has no personal style and relies on Granary achieved good results in international film festivals and then began to appear abroad.

The title of the film "Granary" is very simple, but the content is very powerful. It tells the story of a township granary manager during a special period, who was trapped in the warehouse with several villagers and eventually starved to death.

That is to say, in the 90s, the management of entertainment was loose. If it were left in this era, it would never be released. Cen He's main purpose in "The Granary" is not to criticize the special era, but "the individual is dominated by the system, thereby losing the individual."

[Truman played by Huang Baiyou is like a prisoner in Plato's "Cave", either an illusory image or a one-sided reality.

After enlightenment (love), Truman regained his courage, transcended false reality, broke the institutionalized life, sensibility dominated rationality, and found his true self.

Borrowing the "cave theory" proposed by Plato, we analyze Truman's journey of self-exploration and conclude that the film seems to be about Truman living in a certain location in Asia in the 90s, but in fact it reveals the survival dilemma of contemporary people.

If there is no love as enlightenment, what is the fate of Truman?
The inspiration that "The Truman Show" can bring to contemporary people is that we should look at real life dialectically and seek our inner self. This will help us live in a world of false information and trapped in systems, and will not allow rationality to Towards ignorance. ]
Dai Jinxiu did not mention Huang Baiyou this time, but rather discussed the connotation of the film and some of his own thoughts.

A relatively well-known film critic also wrote that ""The Truman Show" is a work that perfectly conforms to Greimas' symbolic matrix" and "The connotation of "The Truman Show" is far deeper than what you see: modern media's focus on privacy "Corrosion" "A great social allegory movie, can AI intelligent algorithms create an island of paradise"...

Cen He's new film was not loved by the Cannes Film Festival jury, but it was very popular with film critics, because after watching the movie, anyone can speak a few words about the metaphors in the movie.

When it was released worldwide, discussion about the film completely erupted.

Boom boom boom!
The news about Huang Baiyou was like firecrackers going off one after another.

Whether they are Western voters or Chinese melon-eating people, those who are curious about "how Huang Baiyou created the legendary story" have the answer.

"Can the methods in Mr. Huang Baiyou's tidbits be generally used?" is the number one trending topic on Twitter.

　If I owe an update, I'll probably make it up the day after tomorrow.
