Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 398: The plight of child stars, someone comes to the door

Xie Miao blushed for a long time before explaining, "In fact, I think everyone can do some statistics. It is common for child stars who are good-looking when they are young to gradually become crooked as they grow up. There are only a few who can really become more and more beautiful as they grow older in the entire entertainment industry."

That is indeed true.

The so-called "long-term development" is rare, Song Zu is one of them, but he is also a legal expert.

Xin Xing finished laughing and took over the topic: "Then Xie Miao, how do child stars like you usually develop when they grow up?"

"Except for a few super-powerful people in the industry, such as the super-talented Red Boy in the 86 version, all others who have given up their acting careers will try to return to the entertainment industry, although most of them have not made any splashes."

Xin Xing: "Then why did you come back, Xie Miao?"

Xie Miao spread his hands: "Money."

There was another burst of laughter at the scene.

Xie Miao also said frankly: "Although I really want to say that it's for my dream, for my acting career, and for my own persistence, but before I went on stage today, Director Zhou told me that I must tell the truth, so I won't hide it.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have to be honest with you, money is really a very important factor.

Once a person has been a star and seen how fast money is made in the entertainment industry, he or she really cannot stand the income in most other fields.

Of course, from other perspectives, child stars often do not have a strong academic foundation because they have been filming for many years when they were young. If they really want to pursue this path of studying, in many cases they cannot even get into a good university.

Even if they go to a school like Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, or Shanghai Theatre Academy, they will eventually return to the entertainment industry.”

Xin Xing: "Then, Director Wang, in addition to what Xie Miao said, from the director's perspective, do you have any other reasons for not telling them to shoot?"

Wang Jing: “In fact, the reasons Xiao Xie gave are all true, but they are not the most fundamental.

The most fundamental reason is that the market no longer recognizes them. If they are used as the leading actors, the movies and TV series will not make money at all, so they will definitely not be used. "

“It’s accidental that actors are not popular in the entertainment industry. Being neither popular nor unpopular is the state of most actors.

For most child stars, their success was accidental. For various reasons, they did not continue and chose to go to school, or they knew that it would be difficult for them to remain popular for long and chose to give up.

When they come back, the market's impression of them has long passed.

The entertainment industry is very cruel. Opportunities often only come once, and if you don’t seize them, they will be gone.”

Wang Jing spoke freely in front of the camera, but his words were very straightforward.

“Training actors is actually a very resource-intensive and labor-intensive task. For me, I spent a lot of money to train you, but you didn’t give me enough feedback in the end.

Then I won’t use you next time, because I know that you will most likely not be able to provide me with enough returns next time.

The market is also a problem. It is a shrinking market. There are few young people, not to mention the return of child stars. Even many veteran players are not recognized. "

When Zhou Mo heard this, he suddenly looked up, stared at Wang Jing with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Jing, why are there so few young people?"

Wang Jing glanced at Zhou Mo with difficulty.

When I looked at the screen again, it was filled with someone's name.

"Brother Guanxi, I'm so horny!"

Wang Jing spread his hands.

"It seems that everyone knows it, so I don't need to say more."

……

Seeing this, Da Tiantian said to Zhou Mo with understanding, "I finally understand why people in the company say that they are equally motivated this time. So this is it."

Zhou Mo said, "No one would have thought that a computer repair that afternoon would have such a profound impact on the entertainment industry."

Even without the scandal, the Hong Kong entertainment industry would still have declined, but certainly not as fast as it is now.

"By the way, speaking of child stars, Xixi did tell me about a good friend of hers."

"Who?"

"Shu Chang."

"Oh, little fox." Zhou Mo nodded.

He is another strong man who takes the wrong option in every choice.

She is indeed Liu Yifei's good sister, and they are both a perfect match.

After taking a look at Da Tiantian, I wasn’t surprised that these two people knew each other.

In their previous life, these two people collaborated on a drama called "The Glory of Tang Dynasty".

A drama that can actually bring a lot of sweetness to the table.

"You don't seem to be very interested in Shu Chang. I thought that after you knew this person, you would include her in the list of tools." Da Tiantian found that Zhou Mo's expression didn't change much.

"That's not necessary. There are so many stars that can be used in the entertainment industry. Shu Chang... How should I put it? She had a bright future and many choices, but she ruined her own path. She is a home workshop like Liu Yifei, and there are "Three Drops of Blood" and the "The King of Drama" incident. Such a tool person really can't be considered qualified."

Da Tiantian nodded.

"In that case, I won't reply to Xixi's letter. She will naturally understand what I mean before I hear from her."

Zhou Mo nodded.

Suddenly I remembered that after careful counting, Liu Yifei seemed to have appeared in hundreds of chapters, but had never made a proper appearance.

"By the way, isn't Sissi's The Four Finale supposed to be released in August?"

"Well, what happened?"

"Nothing. She has been put on hold for a while. I guess after The Four, she should face reality. There is no hope if she keeps making bad movies. She should take a good look at the market. If she doesn't change, she will be completely left behind."

In the previous life, at this point in time, among the 85 flowers, Da Mimi should have the highest commercial attributes.

Although the movies I made were criticized a lot, they really made money.

The second is Liu Yifei.

Although his grades were generally average, he even started trying to use Korean resources.

But at least there has never been a shortage of resources, and there are basically movies released every year.

In this life, these two people haven't changed much.

But what’s different is the “Tang Poetry is Very Sweet” trio.

The results of these three people are better than each other.

And with Zhou Mo's support, resources have never been cut off.

Judging from personal box office records, Da Tiantian is undoubtedly ranked first.

The results of the two students in "Tang Poetry" were also better than Liu Yifei's.

Under such stimulation, Zhou Mo didn't believe that Liu Yifei could continue to stick to her original path.

Once there is hesitation.

The plan for a movie + TV series in which "The Immortal Poet of the Tang Dynasty" plays mahjong together is completely secure.

People teach people, but they can’t teach.

Things teach people, once for all.

The pressure from competitors is always the best motivation, without a doubt.

……

Got off the plane.

Everything is the same old process.

Although Zhou Mo arrived very early, there were many people who arrived earlier than him.

The two first found a place to fill their stomachs.

Then I met with my friends from China who came to greet me.

Jia Zhangke and his wife had naturally arrived a long time ago.

Also arriving were the crews of Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" and Zhang EMO's "The Return".

as well as.

The crew of "The Crossing" led by Wu Baige, who is fed up with Zhou Mo.

After the meeting, Zhou Mo was just about to stay overnight with Da Tiantian to rest.

Before I could even leave the hall, someone came to me.

"Director Zhou, good evening. It's been a while since we last met. Thank you for your help recently."

Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian turned their heads when they heard the voice.

A familiar face came into view.

Da Tiantian's expression looked a little strange.

Zhou Mo's expression also looked a little strange.

He coughed lightly and announced his identity: "Good evening, International Zhang."
