This star’s style is wrong

The day before the launch press conference of "Ancient Acacia".

Ark Culture held an internal meeting to confirm the process of the event.

It had been a while since he had faced the media, so Fang Xing arrived at the company headquarters a day early to attend this meeting.

All the leading actors of "Ancient Acacia" were present and no one was absent.

Especially when they learned that Fang Xing would come to attend this event, all the actors who were working had to put aside their work to attend the meeting.

The leading actors in "Ancient Acacia" are either newcomers or 18th-tier young actors.

For them, meeting a great director is an opportunity they cannot miss.

Although Fang Xing took a break for more than two years, for a major director, filming a movie in two or three years is no longer slow.

Therefore, taking a two-year break is normal for the director industry.

Besides, Fang Xing did not do anything during his rest period.

At least two scripts were produced, namely "Dark Man 2" and "Ancient Acacia".

However, in the past two years, Fang Xing's main job has been to play with his little princess. As for work, he doesn't force it and just does it in his free time.

The heroine of "Ancient Lovesickness" is named Zhang Qingning. She graduated from a major in Eastern Opera. She graduated six or seven years ago and has been working as an actress.

However, I didn't get many opportunities. I played small supporting roles in four or five movies.

The acting industry is very competitive.

Domestic film academies and drama academies produce graduates one after another every year, but there are very few who can really stand out.

Coming from a major, his acting skills are usually not too bad.

However, whether you can get a chance often has little to do with acting skills.

Especially for low-level actors, the small roles they play may only have one or two lines, and no matter how good their acting skills are, they can't show it.

Today’s domestic entertainment is already a game of capital.

Only actors with capital can get the chance to stand out.

There are many actors like Zhang Qingning. If they cannot become popular, they can only play small supporting roles.

An actress' time is very precious. Zhang Qingning has been graduating for six years and has been working on the crew for six years.

I have filmed a lot of movies, but they were all supporting roles, and there was no chance of becoming popular.

As soon as an actress reaches thirty, she will enter a very embarrassing stage.

A star like Liu Shiying must win awards to maintain her status as a popular actress.

For people like Zhang Qingning who have never been famous before, the path of becoming an actor will become increasingly difficult.

Zhang Qingning is twenty-seven years old this year and has three years left.

Three years is neither a long time nor a short time.

She has played five roles in the past six years.

If she doesn't get a good opportunity, if she can only play three small supporting roles in the next three years, half of her acting career will be basically over.

Actresses who have never become popular will basically have no chance of being a leading female role after they reach the age of thirty.

Fortunately, her audition for "Ancient Acacia" was successful.

However, this drama is only a B-level drama, and it is hard to say how well it will perform on air.

In fact.

Zhang Qingning has been an actor for so long and has been on so many film crews.

Every year, there are many cases where B-level investment dramas are aired and no one cares about them.

Therefore, she didn't have high hopes for this drama.

The only thing that excited her was that Fang Xing's name was among the creative team of this show.

When she first auditioned for "Acacia", she saw Fang Xing's name.

She is very serious about acting. As long as she takes a role, she will try her best to perform well no matter what the crew environment is like or the script.

The crew of Ark Culture is very mature, so she was very happy during the filming of "Ancient Acacia".

However, she was a little disappointed that she had never seen Fang Xing from the beginning to the end of the set.

However, we should be able to see him during the meeting today.

…

In the afternoon.

Fang Xing arrived at the company headquarters a little early to prepare for the meeting.

When we arrived, there were already many people in the conference room.

As soon as Fang Xing walked in, the actors, directors and other creative team members from the "Acacia" crew all shook hands and said hello.

Zhang Qingning shook hands and bowed: "Hello, Director Fang, I am Zhang Qingning."

Fang Xing looked at her with a smile and said, "I recognize you, our heroine."

Zhang Qingning was a little happy, nodded and replied: "Yes, I played Lu Yuan."

Although Fang Xing did not participate in the filming, he still took the time to watch the footage and help Wang Yutao check it.

So I immediately recognized Zhang Qingning as the heroine of "Ancient Lovesickness".

However, due to different makeup, the temperament is still very different.

Fang Xing read the material of "Ancient Acacia" and was very satisfied with the heroine's performance.

In fact.

In the whole "Old Love", she is the only young actor whose acting skills are considered good. Most of the other actors are newcomers, and the requirements are not high, as long as they don't hold back.

After all, it is a B-level investment drama. Most of the budget has to be spent on costumes and scenery, and it cannot afford to hire famous actors.

"I saw your performance. It was very good. Keep up the good work." Fang Xing praised.

"Thank you, Director Fang, for the compliment." Zhang Qingning quickly bowed in thanks.

Although Fang Xing took a break for more than two years, Fang Xing's name was too tempting for the acting industry.

Even before the break, Fang Xing filmed "Mountains and Seas" and even had a movie queen come out.

Two years ago, Hot Roll Yi won several awards for "Mountains and Seas" and was nominated for more.

The most important one is undoubtedly the Flying Eagle Award for Best Actress.

This award has always been Song Li's obsession.

Song Li has received two awards from Jin Jun, but she still has not won the Flying Eagle Award for Best Actress.

Hot Roll is a second-tier actress who worked with Fang Xing once and immediately won the Eagle Award for Best Actress.

With Fang Xing's ability to make one hit and another, and win awards for each one, no actor would not want to be embraced.

Therefore, Zhang Qingning was very excited to be exaggerated by Fang Xing.

…

Today's meeting is relatively simple, just to briefly plan the launch conference process for tomorrow.

The company's marketing department has already formulated the process. The purpose of the meeting is to review the process and see if everyone has any opinions.

If there are no objections, you can finalize the process and just follow it the next day.

Since Fang Xing was present today, Fang Xing did not raise any objection to the process of the event, and other crew members and actors naturally followed the arrangements.

After the meeting is over.

Fang Xing took a look at the post-production status of "Dark Ones 2".

"Dark Ones 2" was completed a few months ago and is now in post-production.

This sequel is very important to Zhang Yigao.

If the second part of a series does not perform well, there is a high probability that there will be no third part.

Therefore, Zhang Yigao pays close attention to post-production.

Today's job is to dub actors. Zhang Yigao has been in the recording studio since the morning, picking out the actors' dubbing word by word.

When Fang Xing walked into the recording studio.

Guo Sanjin is dubbing.

Since "The Dark One" became popular, Guo Sanjin has very good resources. He has filmed three dramas in the past two years, and his roles are either the first or second male lead.

For a man who is not very handsome, he only has such resources thanks to the popularity brought by "Dark One".

Therefore, he also tried his best to do his best in "Dark One 2".

As soon as Zhang Yigao saw Fang Xing come in, he quickly took off his headphones and said hello: "Boss, why are you here?"

Fang Xing replied casually: "There is an event tomorrow, how about dubbing?"

Zhang Yigao replied: "It went very smoothly. There were a few actors whose original voices were not good enough, so I directly found dubbing actors."

In the film and television industry, voice actors are already a very mature branch of the industry.

Many directors don't like to use actors who often appear in variety shows. If one of the actors is familiar to the audience, it will be easy to distract the audience by hiring a voice actor.

However, even many first-line actors will be beaten by first-line voice actors if they only perform dubbing.

The voices produced by top-notch voice actors are clear in enunciation, have deep knowledge of lines, and can also express the character's personality, which is ridiculously strong.

In fact.

In the film and television industry, there are several popular actors who have always used voice actors, or even dedicated voice actors.

So much so that the audience didn't know it was a voice actor.

Fang Xing also hired voice actors, not of course to dub his own characters, but to dub other actors.

Relatively speaking, Fang Xing's dramas rarely employ voice actors.

After all, Fang Xing studied vocal music himself and had very precise control over his voice, so Fang Xing never used a voice actor for his own roles.

As for other actors, due to the high audition requirements, the actors they work with are basically good at acting.

Line skills are part of acting skills, so most of the co-actors don't need voice actors.

Unless during dubbing, you feel that the timbre does not match the character, then you will consider using a voice actor.

…

Zhang Yigao saw that Fang Xing had woken up, so of course he had to make the best use of everything, so he handed an earphone to Fang Xing and said, "Let's listen to it together."

Fang Xing took the headphones and put them to his ears.

Zhang Yigao gestured to Guo Sanjin inside the glass wall.

Guo Sanjin nodded, and then rephrased the previous paragraph.

After the configuration was completed, Fang Xing made an OK gesture, indicating that there was no problem.

In fact.

Generally speaking, there is no need to worry about Guo Sanjin’s dubbing.

Because before he acted in TV series, he acted in plays for several years, and his results were pretty good.

An actor who can act in a drama has no bad command of lines.

Because the play must be performed on the stage, the lines read must be heard by all the audience in the theater, and must be pronounced clearly and express the emotions of the characters.

He can perform well in drama performances, and his line skills are considered to be in the first echelon.

The second part of "Dark Ones 2" has been filmed. With the experience of the first part, the actors are already familiar with the status of the characters, so both filming and dubbing went smoothly.

"Hurry up and work hard. Mr. Gong has already urged me twice, saying that the Mist Theater has not selected a show for next season, and he wants "Dark Ones 2" to be the top one." Fang Xing said.

Zhang Yigao showed a helpless expression and said: "Wandou Video asks me about my progress every day. It's already accelerating."

"That's good. While ensuring the speed, the quality cannot be reduced." Fang Xing added.

"That's for sure. It's better to be slower than to ensure quality first." Zhang Yigao has very high requirements on this point.

There was a pause.

Zhang Yigao turned to ask: "How is Yu Tao's side? I heard that the publicity effect of "Ancient Acacia" is not very satisfactory."

The so-called less than ideal is relative.

If compared with other B-level investment dramas produced by unknown film and television companies, the publicity of "Acacia" is not bad.

However, compared with other dramas of Ark Culture, the publicity of "Ancient Acacia" is indeed average.

After all, the investment in this drama is small, the director is a newcomer, and none of the actors have names that the audience knows.

This kind of B-level drama will hardly gain popularity due to early publicity.

Wang Yutao had no choice but to call Fang Xing.

Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao were both Fang Xing's assistant directors before. They have worked together for so many years and have a good relationship.

In fact.

Before Wang Yutao called Fang Xing, he asked Zhang Yigao to help repost the promotion on Weibo many times, hoping to ride on the popularity of "Dark Ones 2", but the effect was relatively average.

After all, the two dramas are of different genres, and apart from the fact that the directors are friends, there is no connection at all.

Netizens are also watching the excitement. As for "Ancient Acacia", they all have a wait-and-see attitude.

…

the next day.

The launch conference of "Ancient Acacia" officially began.

At the press conference, entertainment reporters crowded the venue.

It doesn't look like a launch conference for a B-level drama, but more like a press conference for an S-level major investment.

For the entertainment reporters present, the target of the interview was naturally not the main creative team of "Ancient Acacia", but Fang Xing, and Fang Xing alone.

Fang Xing has been out of the public eye for a long time, and he is already married and has children.

It can be said that he is full of topics.

Even now, no photos of Fang Xing's daughter can be found online.

Because Ark Culture has stated that Qian Qian’s photos cannot be published without permission.

In addition, Fang Xing has always lived in Baitang Town, so the public knows almost nothing about Qian Qian.

Today is Fang Xing's first public event since he faded out of the public eye.

Just by being there, Fang Xing could write a few days of entertainment gossip by taking a few photos.

This kind of hot news will naturally not be missed by major entertainment media.

So, the press conference begins.

The reporter caught Fang Xing and asked, "Fang Xing, you have been out of the public eye for so long. Why did you attend today's event this time?"

Fang Xing: "Of course it's to promote "Ancient Acacia"."

Reporter: "This drama is just a B-level small investment. You have not participated in any of the S-level investments produced by Ark Culture before. Why do you treat a B-level small investment so differently?"

Fang Xing: "Because the popularity of "Ancient Acacia" was too low, Yu Tao was so anxious that he called me and said he must come over to help promote it."

Ha ha……

There was a burst of laughter.

Reporter: "Do you have a good relationship with Director Wang?"

Fang Xing: "Perhaps you haven't noticed that Yu Tao has been my assistant director before. I took a break for the past two years, and he didn't have any good opportunities. He has been shooting music videos and commercials.

"However, after working together for so many years, I am very aware of his talent, so I took out the script of "Ancient Acacia" and gave it to him to film.

"In short, this "Ancient Acacia" will definitely give the audience a big surprise."

Reporter: "What surprise?"

Fang Xing: "It might not be good to spoil the show in advance. However, when "Acacia" reaches its finale, a special feature of this show will be revealed.

"Also, I can definitely say that this drama is very suitable for a second viewing. Everyone will wait and see."

When this answer came out, even the reporters present were very curious.

There are very few TV series promotion strategies that recommend viewers to "watch the show a second time."

It's already good if the audience can watch it once, but you want to ask the audience to "watch it a second time"?

This is a treatment only available in divine dramas.

But when these words came out of Fang Xing's mouth, they carried extra weight.

After all, the rating of Fang Xing's last drama "Mountains and Seas" has risen to 9.4 points in two years on Douya.com, with many viewers watching it for the second or even third time.

The mixed-cut short video of the heroine Sister Shuihua has been popular on the short video platform for a long time and is still available. (End of chapter)
