…

Yunfeng gently rubbed his temple.

Because of some bad movie memories on Earth in the previous life, he was more or less prejudiced against young and handsome actors.

And.

On the list that Jiang Yong brought, there were a lot of young and handsome actors, high-paid hipsters, and even the actor who played Zhang Xiaofan in the online drama "Zhu Xian" was also on the list.

The current entertainment industry is also known as the era of looking at faces. If an actor looks young and beautiful enough, and has enough fans, he can easily be stamped as "traffic", and of course he will also be stamped as "no acting skills" at the same time.

This is ultimately caused by the market demand of the entertainment industry.

For a film and television drama to be popular, it must have ratings and box office.

Then who is the easiest to attract audiences to watch?

It's still the traffic young and handsome actors.

As long as the actor is popular, can bring traffic and good ratings and box office, and the film and television drama can make money, that's enough. This is why many directors now invite young and handsome actors and fairies to film.

In this way, the crew has already spent a lot of money to hire popular actors, so how can they invest in the production of film and television dramas?

This eventually led to a decline in the quality of the work, with simple special effects, costumes, and styling. Even if the presentation is very eye-catching, there are still fans who pay for it.

The entertainment industry is actually made impetuous by such a vicious circle.

Having said that, Yunfeng can understand Jiang Yong, and he is a rookie and has no experience in this area. He cannot do this based on subjective ideas alone.

"Good script, Mr. Yun is worthy of being the first in the online literature world!" Huang Hai suddenly became excited, holding the folder tightly, and said: "It cleverly and naturally combines elements such as music, campus love, time travel, etc., and adopts a very pure expression to tell the story, making the emotional drama more pure, and this purity is based on the firm belief of the male and female protagonists..."

This appreciation and praise made Yun Feng more confident in the movie "Secret". He said: "Director Huang, you are too kind. This is my first time writing a script. If there are any shortcomings, please point them out."

Huang Hai shook his head and said: "It's perfect, I can't find any problems."

He believes that this script is better than "Tiger Rose", and it is even the best love story in recent years.

Yunfeng then got to the point and said, "Then, let's confirm the actor for the male lead."

Huang Hai heard this and asked in confusion, "What about the actress for the female lead?"

"The actress for the female lead has been confirmed, and it's my sister." Yunfeng said this openly, because there was no need to hide it, and immediately handed over another folder, saying, "This is my sister's information, Director Huang, you can take a look first."

Huang Hai hurriedly took the folder and opened it.

The information said that she was a student of the Shanghai Film Academy, and the attached photo showed that she was very beautiful.

Then, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he would not care about others providing funds and scripts to promote people, and he could not care about it, but he had just read the script and was deeply impressed. He didn't want such a good love story to be made into a bad movie because of the actors' acting skills.

Yunfeng continued, "My sister will come over soon, Director Huang can try the role, and if there is still some lack of acting skills, the shooting time can be postponed."

Praising also requires a certain level of strength. Hard promotion will only backfire, and he doesn't want his sister to be complained about.

Yunfeng handed another folder to Huang Hai and said, "These are the candidates for the male lead."

While Huang Hai was reading, he said to Jiang Yong, "Producer Jiang, tell me what you think."

"There are only three options: traffic actors, powerful actors and new actors. The first type, traffic actors have a huge fan base, which can guarantee the amount of attention and popularity. The second type, powerful actors have online acting skills, which can guarantee the quality of the film. The third type, new actors, have relatively low pay because they have no representative works, and can control costs well."

Jiang Yong first gave a general overview of the advantages of several options, and then expressed his own opinion: "If the budget is sufficient, you can choose Ren Fan. Just the fans can bring good returns. Moreover, after several years of training, his acting skills have also improved, and he has gotten rid of the label of 'little fresh meat'."

Yunfeng's eyelids twitched.

The cost of Jay Chou's filming of "Secret" was 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Taking into account inflation and different worlds, it would not exceed 30 million.

Good guy.

It costs 90 million to hire an actor, plus various other budgets, the cost must be hundreds of millions.

At this time, Huang Hai read the list and said: "Ren Fan has shot "Tiger Rose", his net worth has skyrocketed, his salary has tripled, and the price/performance ratio is not high."

This is very true. For example, big-name actors, big-name directors, and big-name singers, although they are famous and have fans, the cost burden is also high.

Yunfeng asked: "Then, does Director Huang have a suitable candidate?"

Huang Hai pondered for a moment and said: "There is indeed one, but he is relatively less famous and has fewer fans, but his acting skills and appearance are top-notch, and his character and reputation are also good."

It seemed that he was not on the list, so Yunfeng asked: "Who?"

Huang Hai replied: "The third male lead in "Tiger Rose", Liu Xin."

Yun Feng seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Did he play Cao Wenliang?"

Huang Hai nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."

When Yunfeng watched "Tiger Rose" at that time, he was deeply impressed by this character. His acting skills and appearance were indeed top-notch. He made a decision immediately and said: "Producer Jiang, please contact Liu Xin and see if you can come over and try it out." Trial play.”

Jiang Yong nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Yun."

Huang Hai looked at Yunfeng and asked tentatively: "Mr. Yun, doesn't he value an actor's fame and number of fans?"

Yunfeng said half-jokingly: "Who wouldn't want to hire an actor who is famous, has fans, has acting skills, and good looks? Money won't allow it..."

After saying that, he paused and said: "I personally think that the topic of traffic and acting skills is no longer worthy of discussion. Traffic does not mean no acting skills, and acting skills does not mean no traffic. Of course, no traffic does not mean there is any." Acting skills determine the quality of a movie or TV series, and it cannot be judged unilaterally by the actors. Good actors must also be paired with a good script, and they must complement each other to receive good reviews. "

Huang Hai couldn't agree more with these words and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yun, Liu Xin is definitely a good actor."

This is the second time for Jiang Yong to meet Yunfeng, and every time there are different surprises. He has a deep understanding of film and television dramas and the current situation of the film and television industry.

suddenly.

The same thought arose in their minds, clear and passionate, and the film and television industry was about to usher in a storm!

————

"Brother..." Yun Yun followed Yun Feng to Legend Film and Television Company in the afternoon, "I'm a little nervous."

"It's just a trial, don't be nervous." Yunfeng understood Yun Yun's current mood. After all, it was the first time to face the director, "Just treat it as a small test in school."

Yun Yun took a deep breath and said, "What if I fail in my performance?"

"Silly girl." Yunfeng smiled and said, "Don't feel any pressure. If you fail, come back again. Forget, I have the final say on this movie."

Yun Yun pursed her lips and responded softly: "Yes."

Yunfeng tried to distract her attention and relieve the tension, and said: "How is your piano practice going?"

Yunyun looked at him proudly, raised her chin, and said, "Sister Xiaoyu praised me for my rapid progress, and I'm already at the intermediate level."

Yunfeng clapped his hands and said, "It's amazing."

Yun Yun said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whose sister I am."

After a while, Jiang Yong and Huang Hai came to the office.

Yunfeng asked: "Second sister, are you ready?"

Yun Yun replied: "Yes, I'm ready."

Yunfeng nodded and said: "Then let's start the audition."

A very routine audition.

Jiang Yong and Huang Hai didn't make any demands.

Yun Yun was already familiar with the script of the movie "The Secret That Cannot Be Told", so she chose a clip and started acting.

I was a little nervous at first, and it was obvious from the look in my eyes and the performance of my lines.

but.

After acting for a few minutes, she seemed to have changed and gradually entered the state.

"He is the first person I see, so only he can see me."

…

"It turned out that he and I were in the same classroom, but we were twenty years apart. Because I wanted to see him for the first time, I calculated the distance from the piano room to the classroom. There were 108 steps in total. But it didn't go so smoothly every time. ”

…

"I will never forget his back. These times are hard-won for me."

…

Yun Yun acted in the scene where the heroine Lu Xiaoyu is telling her teacher about her time travel.

The lines and expressions are lifelike, lively and relaxed.

Next, there is a scene where the female protagonist Lu Xiaoyu sees the male protagonist Ye Zifeng and another girl playing the piano in the piano room and then runs away.

Sad, sad, emotions burst out bit by bit, and tears streaked down her cheeks like broken pearls.

The best crying scene may not be about acting, but about naturally expressing the emotional changes in one's heart.

Jiang Yong and Huang Hai nodded slightly, which was their recognition of Yun Yun's acting skills.

This was Yunfeng's first time watching Yun Yun act, and he was completely surprised.

He turned on the system and played the original movie "The Untold Secret" on the interface.

In the interpretation of the role of Lu Xiaoyu, Yun Yun is different from Gui Lunmei. It has a different feeling, like a breeze blowing and a dragonfly touching the water, calm and just right.

"Second sister, it's okay." Yunfeng stopped.

"Oh." Yun Yun sniffed and quickly found a tissue to wipe her face.

Yunfeng looked at Jiang Yong and Huang Hai and asked, "Producer Jiang and Director Huang, how are they?"

Jiang Yong said first: "It's very good. It doesn't look like he has never acted before."

Huang Hai objectively commented: "There are some areas that need to be polished, but overall, it is very suitable for the role of Lu Xiaoyu."

What they said was not a compliment.

The reason why traffic actors are often complained is that most of the time their acting is awkward and their expressions are very monotonous, which does not give us a good sense of substitution, while the powerful actors are very contagious, enjoy the process, and make our moods rise and fall.

And.

Yun Yun's acting skills in the few clips she just performed have surpassed many traffic actors.

As soon as they finished, the assistant knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Yun, Liu Xin is here."

Yun Feng raised his hand and said, "Please let him in."

Yun Yun sat aside and was quite curious about the actor who was going to play opposite her.

Liu Xin happened to be filming in Hengdian. When he heard that there was a play looking for him, he immediately asked for leave from the crew.

Why so anxious?

One reason is that the director is Huang Hai. No matter how much investment is made, at least the quality is guaranteed. Just kidding, the creator of the domestic love movie box office record.

Second, he was asked to play the leading male role. He had been struggling in the entertainment industry for several years and had always been between the second and third male roles. He must seize this opportunity.

Under the guidance of his assistant, Liu Xin entered the office.

He looked good, but was slightly inferior to Yun Feng.

"Director Huang, Producer Jiang." Liu Xin greeted the two seniors first, then looked at the other two people in the office, one handsome and extraordinary, the other pure and beautiful. In a flash, his eyes were full of surprise, and he said, "Yun, Yun Da!"

"Hello." Yun Feng stood up with a gentle smile and shook his hand, saying, "Please sit down."

Liu Xin said a little excitedly, "Yun Da, I am your fan. I have read all your novels and comics, and I have listened to your songs more than once. I really like you."

When he came, he and his agent checked the information of Legend Film and Television Company, but it only showed that it was a film and television investment company that had just been registered and established not long ago. If it weren't for Jiang Yong and Huang Hai, two well-known producers and directors, they would have thought it was a shell company.

Unexpectedly, the boss turned out to be his idol. It was such a surprise.

"Thank you." Yunfeng didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. He coughed twice and said, "Our company is going to invest in a movie. I wrote the script and Director Huang is directing. We want you to play the male lead."

Liu Xin didn't even think about it. He threw all the salary and time out of his mind and said, "I'm willing."

Yunfeng laughed and said, "But there's something I want to know from you."

Liu Xin blurted out, "Ask Yunda."

Yunfeng asked, "Can you play the piano?"

This is very important.

In the movie "Secret", the male and female protagonists have a lot of piano scenes, especially the male protagonist, who not only has a solo, but also a piano duel.

"Yes." Liu Xin nodded, and then a worried look rose on his face, saying, "But, it's only level 6."

It's about the same as Yunyun, enough.

Yunfeng smiled slightly and said, "Then, let's try the play."

Thanks to [Ni Ye Ye, Song Er] for the 588 book coins and [Dream for You] for the 100 Qidian coins.
