China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 542 A Dedicated Actor

Many celebrities push their sons and daughters into the entertainment industry.

In recent years, as the pay of celebrity artists has begun to expand rapidly, the income of the entertainment industry is considered to be top-notch among all industries.

Currently, the most popular actors in the television industry can earn hundreds of thousands per episode, and the top actors in the film industry can earn tens of millions per movie. In the future, it will be possible to earn a daily salary.

In the past, popular actresses all married coal bosses or bosses from other industries.

Nowadays, female stars all look for partners within the circle, and fewer of them marry bosses.

Because a popular actress can earn a lot of money in a year, the money they earn in a year may be more than the net profit of a billion-dollar boss in a year.

From this perspective, it is reasonable for the older people in the circle who already have resource advantages to push their children into the entertainment industry and want their children to inherit their mantle.

It’s just that most of the second-generation stars don’t have very good business capabilities.

After their debut, not only did they attract a lot of criticism, but their parents were also criticized as a result.

Wu Gang and his son are a typical case.

Li Yu couldn't comment on this matter.

It is natural for a father to take care of his son.

However, he will not allow those second-generation stars with poor professional skills to annoy the audience in his dramas. This is his bottom line.

After some time, Cao Qing returned from Western Province with his men.

The first four parts of Ghost Blows Out the Light have been completed.

This speed is quite fast. The filming plan of the Ghost Blows Out the Light series can be put on hold.

Cao Qing received the script of "Kuang Biao" sent by Li Yu during the last month of filming in Xi Province.

He has read the script no less than ten times and has a good understanding of the plot and characters.

When watching some scenes, he even thought about which scene should be shot in which scene, with what kind of lighting and shadow, and what camera position.

He returned to Beijing and rested for only a week before the filming of Kuangbiao started.

The filming location was chosen to be Jiang City in Guangdong Province, which is close to the South China Sea and is a famous bridge town.

This city has strong regional characteristics, with old buildings with historical and cultural styles such as watchtowers, as well as modern commercial streets.

The combination of the two has a strong sense of age.

The timeline of the storm starts in 2000, so buildings like Jiang City that have certain characteristics of the era are very suitable.

When the crew was going to Jiang City to shoot, the reputation of director Li Yu once again came in handy.

Li Yu has been in the industry for so many years, and few of the film and television works he has participated in producing have failed to become popular. There has even been a precedent where a film was shot in a certain city and then boosted tourism in that city after it was broadcast.

Therefore, leaders of the tourism department and other departments in Jiang City gave the green light to the filming of the "Crazy Storm" crew.

They were afraid that the crew didn't know enough about Jiang City, so in order to capture the most charming side of Jiang City in the drama, they even sent a guide to the crew to assist in filming.

Such an incident also happened in the crew.

When they arrived at the hotel, Li Yu invited everyone to dinner, but found that Zhang Song the scholar was missing.

His agent said he ran to the market next door to watch the fishmongers killing fish.

Because the script included a scene describing Gao Qiqiang killing a fish, in order to act the killing realistically, he had to go to the market to watch how other people killed fish and then learn their techniques.

This serious learning attitude is definitely helpful for acting.

Li Yu admires such actors very much.

After the original version of "The Storm" was broadcast, some viewers said that Zhang Songwen's details in killing fish and washing hands were great, just like the owner of the fish-killing stall in his town.

This is the result of an actor taking the role seriously and paying attention to details. "I'll call him back now." The agent is about to call.

"No need. Teacher Zhang's serious attitude towards the role is worth learning for every actor. Let him stay in the vegetable market and let's not disturb him." Li Yu said.

I believe Zhang Songwen would not want to be disturbed when he is studying seriously.

At the dinner table, the news that Zhang Songwen ran to the seafood market to watch people killing fish spread.

Actors such as Zhang Yi, Gao Ye, and Ni Dahong all felt the pressure coming at them.

We just arrived in Jiang City and haven't officially started filming yet, but Zhang Songwen has already rolled up his sleeves? This is outrageous.

Many people praised Zhang Songwen for taking his role seriously and being a good actor.

There is not only one voice in the world, and there is not only good voices.

Some people think that Zhang Songwen did this as soon as he arrived in Jiang City, just to put on a show in front of the director and appear to be very dedicated.
If he was really so dedicated, why did he only go to Jiang City to watch the fish being killed?

Wouldn't it be better to work at a fish stall for a month before coming to Jiang City?

People who hold this view despise Zhang Songwen very much.

However, such people only dare to say this in private in small groups; they dare not stand up and say such things openly.

We are all adults and understand the basic social etiquette.

……

A few days later, the filming of "Kuang Biao" officially started.

"Teacher Zhang Yi, after you starred in Operation Nujiang River, your status skyrocketed. It was said that you really liked the role of Gao Qiqiang, but in the end you didn't get the role.

This role fell to Zhang Wen, whose career is far less famous than yours. Some people outside said that Director Li was using your fame to promote Zhang Songwen and let Zhang Songwen become famous by stepping on you. What do you think of this?"

These journalists, who always speak viciously, performed as steadily as ever.

It was obvious that this person was not only trying to sow discord between Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen, but was also using Zhang Songwen to drag down Zhang Yi.

What does it mean to use him to promote Zhang Songwen? Even Li Yu was involved.

Anyone would get angry if they heard such words.

What these reporters want is to make Zhang Yi angry.

As long as Zhang Yi gets angry, loses his composure, and says something inappropriate, it will be magnified infinitely by them.

"What nonsense! Who did you hear this from? Can you tell me who this person is? It doesn't cost anything to make up a rumor, right?
I had decided on An Xin from the very beginning. Before Director Li talked to me, Gao Qiqiang had already given the role to Teacher Zhang Songwen.

What you said doesn't exist at all. I like Gao Qiqiang, but I didn't get the role and Teacher Zhang got it instead.

You have to understand the order of things and not mislead people by quoting them out of context."

Zhang Yi was very angry, but he couldn't calm down physically like Liang Kun did, so he could only confront the unscrupulous black reporter without any hesitation.

How could he not see the reporter's intention?

Isn't it just to mislead people, to make everyone think that his Gao Qiqiang was snatched away by Zhang Songwen, an unknown actor, and then create a hype?

He has been in the circle for so many years, he can easily see through such a little trick.

But his reaction was still extreme, mainly because he was really angry.

His answer frustrated the other party's plan and also annoyed him.

After today, he will probably get into some trouble.

But it is still much better than having your role stolen by a rumor and becoming a stepping stone for others.
