Not only myself, I can feel that Wu Bai also has the same thoughts. Psychological sin is the beginning of mutual testing and understanding.
After all, it is so difficult to find like-minded allies in this circle!
Especially for small teams that are just starting out, giants may seem good, but in fact they are very risky. They may swallow you up in one gulp and leave no trace behind.
It’s not enough to just play with the rich and wealthy, there are too many messes. For example, how many coal bosses are there now?
Therefore, for the Arc Light Alliance formed by Wu Bai and him, it is a matter of high or low. No matter how awesome the professional team is and if they have no money, it is just a dream. Kanazawa Studio is definitely not the first one they talked about. The reason why they chose to cooperate is very important.
To a large extent, it is probably because...
Suze!
While Kong Xue was thinking about Wu Bai, the director was also observing Su Ze. I have to say that the last meeting was so amazing that even the well-informed Wu Bai could not recover.
I have been in the industry for so many years, I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running away, not to mention that I am working with Zhang Yi on my debut, so my perspective is naturally different.
The kid in front of me is only twenty, how can his acting skills reach this level?
Even if Zhang Yi, who is now at the height of his power, was not even a bit worse than this kid back then!
Not to mention peers, according to my own eyes, even if you put me in the 35, no, 40-year-old group of Mesozoic actors, I will not be inferior!
The only drawback?
Handsome and young?
His grandma’s!
"Fifth brother, can you tell us about your Arc Light Alliance?" Su Ze smiled and said, "The name is quite artistic."
"Hehehe, doesn't it sound good?" Wubai said with a smile: "Although we are just an arc of light now, we will definitely light up the world one day!"
"Aze, do you believe that your fifth brother definitely has a way of recognizing people?"
"Basically, we can become allies only if we have collaborated on several dramas together, or have known each other for a long time and found that they have always been stable, and have clear goals in life."
"It's not that you keep shouting about being an editor all day long. In fact, your dream is to be a director. People like this will kill you and refuse to sign."
"If you want to be an editor, you should do it to the best of your ability. If you want to be a martial artist, you should do it to the best of your ability. What I hate the most is idiots who have a high eye and a low hand!"
Speaking of the Arc Light Alliance, Wubai proudly said: "Take the three current directors as an example, me, Wang Wei, and Yang Miao."
"Needless to say, Wang Wei is relatively rational and a director with a production mindset. When the project is handed over to him, I will know how much the script production cost will be. The projects he follows up on are the most worry-free for me."
"Yang Miao is a relatively emotional person. He is better at constructing the entire character's heart. He is particularly persistent in what fascinates him about the characters and will not let go. Therefore, he is a director who is more likely to produce works of great depth."
"Aren't you afraid that they will fly alone with their wings?" Kong Xue suddenly asked.
"Flying solo?" Wubai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This kind of thing all depends on your character, and you can't prevent it."
"They say the entertainment industry is chaotic, but if every industry wants to develop, there will always be people who work hard, right?"
"I dare to pat my chest and guarantee that it is one!"
"The friends who have been with me for so many years should be the same!"
Su Ze and Kong Xue looked at each other, and they were both quite satisfied with Five Hundred. At least they were honest people and didn't have all the bells and whistles.
"I'm very optimistic about your acting skills." Wubai stared at Su Ze and said seriously: "You will be a capable actor in the future."
"To put it bluntly, if I follow your fifth brother in the future, becoming famous is no longer a dream!"
"I'm optimistic about your brother!"
Su Ze: "..."
Kong Xue smiled, Now are you starting to draw big cakes to win over people?
Speaking of which, Su Ze was not polite. He took out the script and said, "I have some personal opinions. Let's discuss it?"
"I have read the original novel, and I admire Mr. Remi's reasoning and logic. The script is well adapted, which is also the biggest highlight."
"But isn't there too much emotional drama for the protagonist Fang Mu?"
"Emotional line?" When it came to getting down to business, Wubai instantly entered the state, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, I have also considered deleting it to make the reasoning rhythm more exciting. However, if there is no emotional line development, then Fang Mu's personality development must be incomplete.
."
"Incomplete?" Su Ze smiled. Is this the reason?
"I am a fan of Remy's books and have read all the novels published so far. Psychological Crime is only the first mature work. The protagonist Fang Mu must have evolved from a college student to a senior detective."
"But the director!"
"What if I fail in the first season?"
Wubai was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood the second half of Su Ze's line:
No one watched the first part, so who would invest in the second one?
Is your money brought by the strong wind?
"This?" Wu Bai was lost in thought. It's not that he hadn't thought about Su Ze's suggestion, but in the past, his thoughts were all on how to attract investment. After all, the market is very optimistic about CP, and the emotional scenes in the script are also a plus.
But now?
"I know that the more episodes the online drama has in the end, the more money it will make." Kong Xue interjected: "But the premise is that the plot is compact and does not add water, right?"
"If I were a lover of suspense and reasoning, I would love to watch all kinds of high-intelligence battles of wits and courage between good and evil. Who would want to watch fancy shows of affection?"
“Aren’t there enough brain-dead bloody dramas?”
"What do you mean?" Wubai tried, "Reduce the number of episodes and speed up the pace?"
"Twenty episodes is just right. I don't think there's any need for less." Su Ze opened the script and showed, "Actually, the original script didn't have many emotional lines. It only counts as two episodes."
"After all, Psychological Crime is the first groundbreaking work, and the audience is still fans who like suspense and reasoning. Many have even read Remy's original work. After all, the novel sold very well."
"In that case, let Fang Mu hurry up and attract the audience first. As long as the ratings are high, it won't be too late to show inner growth in the second part, right?"
"Then let's do it!" Wu Bai is not stupid. Now even the father of the funder is saying this, and he is still being hypocritical.
With a wave of his hand, the emotional line was deleted, and the criminal reasoning process was increased. The literary drama was not enough for the martial arts, so it was only two episodes?
Easily!
Seeing Su Ze having a heated discussion with the director, Kong Xue was very satisfied. This kid is becoming more and more mature. He has made two movies with Chen Jianbing and Zhang Zifeng and has indeed made rapid progress.
It is normal for an actor to give advice to a director, but how to give it? What to give? How to give it?
It’s all knowledge!
The bigger the director, the more powerful he is, and he hates having other people dictating things from the side. This is why top directors would rather use newcomers, and do whatever I ask you to do.
Of course, there are only a handful of great directors, and usually intermediate directors work with mid-level actors. Everyone reads the script, discusses problems when they encounter them, and finally comes up with a result that satisfies both parties.
As the largest investor of Psychological Crime Kanazawa Studio, Su Ze has won the recognition of the director with his true ability. It is no exaggeration to say that he has the right to speak as one person.
The smart thing about this kid is that he didn't ask for extra scenes from the perspective of his male lead, or made any random requests from the perspective of the financial sponsor's father, or even took the initiative to delete the comfortable emotional scenes?
