The Spring Festival is coming soon, and Su Ze starts his New Year's greeting trip. It may seem hard, but those who take the initiative to visit are their elders, especially those in the entertainment industry. Being qualified to visit is a kind of recognition in itself.
Needless to say about the others, the most important one was Cheng Daoming. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, he came to pay New Year greetings, had a family dinner at noon, and chatted before leaving in the evening.
According to Cheng Daoming: Your record is sufficient, but you are too young. It is not appropriate to directly become a member of the association in the second year. You must consider the ideas of other veteran comrades.
Normally, I can survive for a few more years until I'm at least thirty. Or I can work harder and win two heavyweight awards.
Don’t worry about the rest!
Su Ze was naturally very grateful. It didn't matter whether he was a member or not. Although the members who could become members of the Chinese Filmmakers Association were all top figures, the actors were all billionaires, and the others were industry giants.
But as a leader, Cheng Daoming can say such things, which proves that he sincerely regards you as one of his own!
On the way back, in the words of Kong Xue: Lao Cheng also needs to build his own power. Actors are actors, officials are officials. No matter how good an actor is as an official, he cannot be a mere commander.
Any team needs to develop young talents!
Su Ze was used to being labeled on the first day he went to the Chinese Theater. What's more, his relationship with the Chinese Theater was so deep that all his explanations were in vain.
It’s good to have a background. If nothing else, at least you have to weigh yourself when someone wants to touch you. Is it enough?
Can you bear the consequences if you break up?
This is enough!
What's more, neither Su Ze nor Kanazawa can be moved if they want to!
I was so busy that I finally breathed a sigh of relief on the eighth day of the lunar month. All those who needed to run away ran away. The remaining buddies had a big drink and took the time to get together in the capital. There was no shortage of etiquette for not being there. In this regard, Kong Xue did everything right.
I have to say that she deserves a lot of credit for her good reputation. After all, she is not short of money. Millions are spent on public relations every year. Any influential media will treat Kanazawa as their eldest father!
Actors who have worked well with each other and have a good relationship will always receive gifts during the holidays, and send blessings on their birthdays every year. Two employees are specially assigned to be responsible for this.
Although the power in the entertainment industry is real, people's hearts are fleshy after all. Without a conflict of interests, how can Su Ze's reputation be bad if he achieves this?
Therefore, Su Ze's reputation when he first debuted was that his acting skills were explosive, and he reached his peak in Chasing the Murderer in the White Night and Silencing the Truth.
Then there is the dedication and hard work, which are the reputations slowly accumulated by fellow directors who have worked with me.
Now I have a good character, no scandals, no black material, no stains, and my fans are favored by my strength!
Regarding the current results, Su Ze could only lament: Money can make all the difference.
It doesn’t cost money!
Time slowly came to March, and other friends around me began to be busy, especially actors. Because of their busy schedules, they rarely met each other.
Zhang Zifeng is very busy, with two works waiting to be filmed, and she will soon join the team to make a movie with Liu Tianwang, an action blockbuster, in which she plays the king's daughter.
The other one turned out to be Mist Theater, possibly a collaboration with Tan Zhuo?
"You are the king of suspense, the golden signature of Mist Theater."
"How can you not take care of your one-third of an acre of land?"
"You decide your territory!"
Su Ze: "..."
Of course, it is just an intention to cooperate for the time being, and it does not count if the contract is not signed. Now Su Ze is not the only one in the Mist Theater. There are three or four works broadcast every year.
It's just that the ones with the best reputations are still those.
But Su Ze discovered a change. Now many so-called movie stars have started acting in TV series?
Even the international Zhang is planning to make a TV series?
In the words of Kong Xue: Now except for the truly top kings and queens, no one else can hold back.
In Su Ze's opinion, there is basically no actor who has never acted in a TV series!
Even the four kings Louis Koo, Liu Qingyun, Zhang Jiahui, Liang Jiahui and Tony Leung Chiu-wai...
Aren’t they all from TVB back then?
Who has never acted in a TV series?
It's just that later on when people became famous, they gradually stopped filming.
To be fair, movies are indeed more challenging than TV series. Regardless of script or acting skills, it is difficult to tell a fascinating story in just two hours.
TV series have at least 20 or 30 episodes, so there are bound to be various additions, it’s just about the level. Since The Silent Truth began to learn the rhythm of American dramas, the number of episodes was reduced to twelve, which gave the audience a refreshing feeling.
The pace is fast, there are many conflicts, there are big explosions, and there are some twists and turns...
Naturally the ratings are high.
Last year, iQiyi approached me and handed me two books, but I was rejected because my skills were not good enough.
Even if the platform is rejected, he will still laugh. After all, Su Ze is now a golden thigh, even a weapon that has risen to the level of a nuclear bomb!
Mist Theater plans four to five productions every year. It is certainly impossible for Su Ze to perform them all by himself, right?
If you can have one every year, or even if you can have one hit every two years, you will already be laughing!
For the suspense genre, Su Ze has higher requirements. With the truth about chasing the murderer and being silent in the white night, can the taste be unsatisfactory?
Now Kanazawa receives a large number of scripts every day, and the screenwriting department has grown into the company's largest department, with more than a dozen senior writers.
I am usually responsible for reviewing scripts, but of course I can write them myself as long as they pass the big prize. Unfortunately, there is no work that Su Ze is really satisfied with yet.
The audition is sent to Kong Xue for the second stage. It is very important to analyze the market feasibility from the perspective of investors.
I used to send all the candidates who passed the audition to me, but the result...
Basically I can’t take pictures of what I like!
In the end, I can only shelve it temporarily. If it is particularly good, I will buy the copyright first and wait until I have the opportunity to talk about it. So now, Kong Xue has evaluated it and finally sent it.
This is a social recruitment channel. So far, there are no particularly satisfactory works. There are many problems. 90% of the works are written in a colorful way, but it is difficult to even pass the review when they are actually produced.
The remaining 10% is left to consider investment, director, team, actors, scenes, special effects, service...
This is why more and more adapted IPs appear.
Original without market validation?
too difficult!
In other words, the works written by people without practical experience are simply for self-interest.
Xin Yukun's works are all original, but after so many years of hard work, are they all fake?
So when he came across a script with good foundation, Su Ze would directly buy the copyright. It was not expensive anyway and could cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
Then save it as a strategic reserve. It will definitely need to be adapted, or wait until the time is right for filming, but it is always a thought, right?
Nowadays, there are many professional screenwriters in the market, and many of them are just second-rate dealers, euphemistically called:
Screenwriting company?
I have talked with many well-known screenwriters, Gao Mantang has collaborated with me, and Zijin Chen is also a WeChat friend. According to their words: As long as you are shameless and want to make quick money, you can find a gunman to save a book and put your name on it, and you can earn millions or tens of millions.
