Actors start from the college entrance examination

Chapter 356 Transformation
I don't mind Su Ze's stealing teacher Kong Sheng, this kind of thing is normal, but any actor who has a little bit of pursuit wants to become a director, and it is only natural for an actor to be a director.

But how many have really succeeded?

Zhou Xingchi counts as one, Cheng Long counts as one, Wu Jing counts as one, Xu Zheng counts as one, who else?
There is no doubt about this kid's strength. He is also a top five actor who has seen so many actors, not to mention how old he is now?

But being a director is far worse. Skills can be improved through learning. The main reason is that the director's thinking is not good enough. Just like myself, he is in control of details, but the more this is the case...

The more difficult it is for an actor to transform into a director!

Because the director is focusing on a state, rather than telling the actors how to act, this is a fatal problem.

The interlacing is like a mountain, Su Ze is too young to be a director, at least he won't even think about it for ten years.

Thinking back to a certain day in 11, Xu Zheng excitedly told the story of the Thai embarrassment in the office of Guangguang boss Wang Changtian. At that time, the script had not yet been written.

Xu Zheng was just an actor at the time and had never made a movie. Now, relying on a mouth and a performance, he reached out and asked Wang Changtian for 2500 million?
I don't know what Lao Wang was thinking, but in the end he actually paid for it?
In the end, the total investment of Thai Jiong was 6000 million, which is a medium investment, which is not good at all. It is still far from the investment of a great movie, and it spends a lot more than a bad movie.

"Let him toss about it." Kong Sheng thought that this was buying a horse bone with a thousand dollars, and he was just optimistic about Xu Zheng, but he didn't expect it.

It was an instant hit, and the 12 billion box office frightened Xu Zheng and stunned Pharaoh!

Xu Da's bald head became another myth on the way from actor to director.

Then in 13, Zhao Wei filmed "To Youth" with a box office of 7.26 million. In 15 years, Dapeng filmed "Pancake Man" and won a box office of 11.59 billion...

Not to mention Wu Jing in Wolf Warrior 2 and Jia Ling Li Huanying.

In the past few years, hot money poured into the film market, and whether domestic films are popular or not, problems have followed.Even Lao Mouzi lamented that one of the lowest thresholds in the current film market is the director.

The implication beyond the euphemism is that cats and dogs can be used for some money!
Of course, this kind of thing is hard to say. For example, Huang Lei, as a teacher of the film academy and a proper first-line actor, should be fine in terms of theoretical knowledge and process practice, right?

Does he have the greatest chance of successfully transforming into a good director?

But what about the results?

It's a mess!
"You didn't catch up with the good times!" Kong Sheng patted Su Ze on the shoulder, and said seriously: "The prosperity of 15 years and the tragedy of 17 years are one heaven and one earth."

"Playing Eryou's director sounds awesome, but for actors who want to transform, it means risks, possible failures and collapse of characters."

"Don't try it if you have to!"

Seeing that Su Ze wanted to explain, he waved his hand and said, "This is human nature. Who doesn't want to be famous and stand at the pinnacle of life?"

"Who made our country a director-centered system."

"I can tell you one thing responsibly..."

"Being a director is addictive!"

Su Ze is a little speechless, isn't it just a secret teacher who has nothing to do, is it worth going online?
But I have to admit that this sentence makes sense. Look at Xu Dabald, who was unwilling to be an actor only, turned to filming the embarrassing series, and made a lot of money.

Even though the word-of-mouth of "囧囧 in Hong Kong" is not satisfactory, it does not seem to affect the steady progress of the box office.Also choosing comedy themes are Dapeng, Deng Chao, Wang Baoqiang, Chen Sicheng, etc. Regardless of their artistic achievements, they have all achieved great commercial success.

Then there are youth literature and art films, the first choice is Little Swallow, a film for youth that completely makes feelings become delicious.

Xu Jinglei, Su Youpeng, Zhong Hanliang, and He Jiong successively chose to use youth films to open up the market.The first is that the audience group happens to be a group with high consumption power, and the high degree of overlap makes the box office more secure.

Secondly, youth films can recruit newcomers, which is also a success in reducing costs.

The operation is as fierce as a tiger, and domestic youth films are labeled as "skipping class, cheating, and abortion". It seems that everyone's youth is incomplete without killing a child?
The result is completely cool!
Then there are niche themes, such as a spoon by Chen Jianbing, which focuses on poor rural areas and plays black humor.

Although the box office is not very good, but it can win the Golden Horse Best Actor.

Seeing that Su Ze didn't speak, Kong Sheng continued: "Have you noticed a rule? Most of the actors who transform into directors are first-line actors."

"Even non-professional actors like He Jiong are top-notch hosts. These people have mature conditions for transformation."

"Have money, have connections, have background, have channels..."

"The most important thing is that fans and audiences are willing to pay!"

Su Ze nodded. Judging from the examples of Zhao Wei, Xu Zheng, Deng Chao, etc., most of the transition directors are Mesozoic artists in the entertainment industry. They have made great achievements in the original field, but it is difficult to break through the bottleneck.

When the actors reach an embarrassing age, they are impacted by the market's petite meat, and the audience's tastes are shifted towards fairy tales, fantasy and other genres. Don't look at the infinite scenery, and you may not even find a suitable script behind it.

Instead of sitting on the fence and waiting to die, it is better to seek a breakthrough as a director.Not only can you upgrade your identity, but you can also broaden the territory of your acting career.

Give it a go, the bike turns into a motorcycle.

Of course, there are also cases that are purely for the right to speak. For example, Wang Baoqiang talked about the reason why he transformed into a director because he felt that the actor on the set was Sun Houzi, and no matter how big the name was, he could not escape the palm of the director.

"Now you are still young and have not yet reached the bottleneck period of your career." Kong Shengyu said earnestly: "In another ten years, you will understand the feeling of being indifferent."

"What's more, from the perspective of investors and distributors, the risk of cooperating with star directors is lower than supporting new directors. The topics and market appeal caused by the popularity of stars themselves are far stronger than those of a young director. .”

"A lot of times it's not that the actors themselves insist on being directors, but they are forced to be helpless, understand?"

Of course Su Ze understood that it was all the capital's fault.

The frequent box office miracles created by actors as directors have attracted the attention of various capitals to the influence of stars. More and more film companies no longer have the patience to train new directors, but invite stars to be directors in one step, focusing on quality and reputation. Regardless.

Like IP adaptation, the market is always taking shortcuts.Isn't it good to make quick money and spend fans?

after?

What do I care if your actor's reputation has collapsed?

I think of a sentence that Feng Xiaogang used to joke when he won the best actor with "Old Paoer":

Now too many actors are directors, so I can only switch to be an actor.

"Of course it's not impossible, especially you." Kong Sheng patted Su Ze on the shoulder again, encouraging him: "You are the capital yourself, and your investment vision is very accurate. Now I think Jinze is going to issue, right?"
