Opening up the entertainment industry
Chapter 068
Maybe the impact of scolding with the director this time was too bad, and the financial backers behind Auric and Richards were too embarrassed to intervene in the matter of cutting scenes, so in the end the filming of the film was finished, and the scenes of the two were cut and added. It took less than 10 minutes together, two-thirds less than the original scene.
What's more serious, with Xiang Zhan's team fueling the flames behind the scenes, many insiders who had worked with Auric Richards in the past also jumped out and broke the news, pointing out that the two are arrogant and domineering and difficult to get along with. The crew who wanted to use their popularity to gain attention canceled their plans one after another, and turned their targets to other emerging artists with good reputation.
The funder jumped up and down behind the scenes for two or three months but failed to find a new way for the two. Only then did they realize that they were really hopeless, so they didn't bother to continue wasting resources on them.Unlike the nurturing relationship, he will push these two people because he is optimistic about their ability to absorb money. Now that he can't make money for himself, he simply sold it to another brokerage company at a low price before he completely stinks.The new agency is a small company that was just established two years ago. Its resources and contacts are very limited. The plays that can be arranged for its artists are also outside the third tier, and the commission and remuneration are pitifully low.Auric and Richards were full of reluctance, but they were used to walking sideways in the past. After so many years in the entertainment industry, they failed to form a network of their own. No ability.
Xia Zheng doesn't care about what will happen to Auric and Richards in the future. Right now, what he cares most about is the script that has been written for less than half a year without even a frame.He also wrote a few small scripts when he was in school before, but those scripts were more like dramas or sketches. It was okay to be amused, but they couldn't hold up to at least nine or 10 minutes of movies.
After thinking about it, he always felt that he couldn't procrastinate like this. Xia Zheng took advantage of the break when the penultimate film was finished, and met Xiang Zhan, who was participating in an event abroad.
"Have you figured it out?" Hearing that his daughter-in-law plans to suspend her acting career and create a new first film written and directed by herself, Xiang Zhan didn't know whether to support or oppose it.In all fairness, Xia Zheng's current acting career is advancing step by step. As long as he takes on plays steadily every year and maintains a certain exposure rate, even if he doesn't win awards, even if his box office reputation is not so good, it won't affect his pace of becoming a top-tier movie star.
But once his acting career is interrupted, even for a year, Xia Zheng's position that he has worked so hard for for several years may soon be taken away by others.There are always people in the entertainment industry who work harder than you. There are a lot of artists with any position and acting style. As long as you have the heart, you can always find excellent conditions in all aspects.
No one is the only one, unless it can become a unique memory of a certain generation. Xiang Zhan did it, but Xia Zheng is still far behind.
"Well, I've figured it out," Xia Zheng nodded earnestly, "Look, I made a total of five movies last year and this year, plus there are two movies that haven't been released before, so I don't have to worry about not having any movies coming out in the next two years. So I plan to spend a year honing a good script, and then I can find investment to shoot my own script after taking on one or two plays."
It is a new trend for an actor to become a director in the past two years. As long as the exported works are not too bad, the time and energy he has invested now will be worthwhile.
Xia Zheng is still very confident about his level of directing, let alone his professional background and outstanding talent, but the guidance of the big director friends around him is enough for a rookie to become a professional director. What's more, his level is much better than Xiaobai's.
"Since you have made up your mind, let's concentrate on doing it, and I will fully support it." He pinched Xia Zheng's waist lewdly, and Xiang Zhan suddenly felt that his lover was different from himself in some aspects, at least he was back then. He didn't have the courage to let go of everything and start over, mainly because he never thought of doing other acting jobs besides actors.
With the consent of his first brother, Xia Zheng's last hesitation was also dispelled, and he communicated with his agent that he would not take any more movies for the next year, and then devoted himself to the shooting of the last movie at hand.Coincidentally, this film is a collaboration with director Wen Xi.Xia Zheng has never had the chance to cooperate with this super-famous director since he missed "The Demon" back then. This time, he had the opportunity to play the leading role in Wen Xi's new film, and it was a wish of each other.Cooperating with people with real talents and knowledge is a fortune that money cannot buy for directors and artists.
And for Xia Zheng, he can learn a few tricks from this international-level director during filming. Well-known directors are also very good screenwriters from a certain angle. Wen Xi is not good at his own original scripts, but he also He has his own unique insights in polishing scripts and plots, and he has benefited a lot from giving Xia Zheng a few casual pointers.
In order to avoid getting out of the drama while acting, Xia Zheng temporarily put aside his thoughts on his own work, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to this movie with a huge investment.When the film was finished two months later, Xia Zheng picked up the script he had written at the beginning and read it from the beginning. He suddenly felt that what he wrote at that time was a mess.
"I think it's pretty good." After reading the script, Xiang Zhan patted Xia Zheng's head encouragingly, "I think it's much better than those screenwriting students who write scripts purely based on fantasy. At least the words are very grounded. There are not so many Martian words that the elderly can't understand, and the young can't understand."
Xia Zheng rolled his eyes - are you really praising someone!At any rate, he has been in the entertainment circle for several years, so if he writes a yy body, won't he lose his character!
"Actually, if you can't grasp the direction of the script, you can find a screenwriter with writing skills, tell him your thoughts and direction of the story, and let him write." Looking at the depressed wife, as the most considerate husband of the year Xiang Zhan actively made suggestions.In the domestic entertainment industry, this kind of situation abounds. If the ghostwriter is famous, then his name will still have a chance to flash on the big screen. If he is unknown, then the director must have written the play himself. .
"It can be like this in the future, but isn't this my first movie now? I want to rely on myself." Leaning listlessly on the desk while biting the cap of his pen, Xia Zheng felt that his mind was about to get knotted.Overturning all the plots he had thought up before, the complete story never appeared in his mind, and when the fragmented inspirations were pieced together, he couldn't even make up the most basic word count of the script, let alone completeness.
"You can't stay at home like this every day." Rubbing Xia Zheng's bird-like hair, Xiang Zhan felt that it was necessary to abduct him for a vacation or something.After careful calculation, next month will be the one-year anniversary of their certification. During this year, they are still busy with their acting jobs. Since Xia Zheng plans to stop writing scripts this year, he can also take a long vacation for himself , the two can take this opportunity to enjoy traveling around the world, or they can go to a foreign town where no one knows them, and spend a long-lost peaceful time.
"Do you think I should write a romantic literary film, or an adventure film? Or a supernatural one. How can I say that I am a person who has personally experienced supernatural events. It should be more authentic when I write it?" Xia Zheng wrote and drew on a large piece of straw paper, and didn't hear what Xiang Zhan said at all.
The corners of Xiang Zhan's brows twitched, and he was in a bad mood—if things go on like this, wouldn't he have no status as a husband at all!The consequence of Brother Yi blowing his hair is that someone can't get out of bed for several days.
Under Xiang Zhan's strong persuasion, Xia Zheng agreed to write the script while traveling. Although it may waste some time away from home, with his current state of confusion, even if he really stays at home for a year, it may not be possible. Can write a decent thing.
The moment he boarded the plane, Xia Zheng had a bad premonition in his heart. He always felt that something was going to happen. Sure enough, not long after the plane took off, there was a serious body vibration. Ten seconds later, the plane carrying hundreds of people was like a meteor. fall like...
Waking up suddenly, before Xia Zheng had time to wipe the sweat off his forehead, he realized that the plane he was on was really shaking. A dream he hadn't forgotten appeared in front of his eyes. Xia Zheng nervously held the hands of the people around him. Could it be that the dream just now foretells that they will avoid the inevitable? An avoidable tragic ending?
"Why are you so nervous?" Xiang Zhan was a little surprised by Xia Zheng's sweaty hand. It is common for the airframe to shake when flying in an airplane. They have encountered it a few times before when they travel, and they have never seen each other so scared. ?
"Brother One," swallowing nervously, Xia Zheng looked at Xiang Zhan eagerly. If his life is about to end, should he express all the deep affection in his heart at once, "Although we two have The relationship is deep and shallow, but don't doubt my feelings for you, if there is a next life, no matter what our gender is, I will still be with you."
Maybe it was because he was too nervous, Xia Zheng forgot to control the volume when he said this, in fact, even if he was not nervous, he would not lower his voice - the plane was about to crash, why couldn't he show his love loudly!
"Uh..." Faced with the sudden confession, Xiang Zhan blushed at first, and then realized that something was wrong, "What do you mean by deep love and shallow relationship? You don't mean to divorce me because you fancy other pretty faces?"
There are eight first-class seats on this plane, and the rest of the seats are filled with blond foreigners. At this time, six foreigners who don’t understand the language are looking at this side eagerly, thanks to their good temper. I have already complained to the flight attendant.
……
After talking with the duck for a long time, Xia Zheng realized that the shaking fuselage had stabilized at some point. He looked at the first brother in embarrassment, and then at the other passengers who were calm and normal. Someone finally realized how big a mess he had made. An oolong, I wish I could smash the plane and jump off.
"Say it, why don't you say it? Isn't what you said just now very good? We will be together no matter what our gender is in the next life!" Finally understanding what his wife is worried about, Xiang Zhan struggled to hold back his laughter, deliberately showing a black face He asked with a face, he had never heard such a decisive confession from his daughter-in-law when he was stalked by a kid back then, if he didn't let the other party speak clearly today, maybe there would be no chance in the future.
"I..." Xia Zheng's blush turned into a radish, and just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Ahahaha, I finally figured out what kind of movie I want to write!" As he spoke, he ignored Xiang Zhan's " Aggressive", he took out his diary and began to write.
Seeing the daughter-in-law enter a state of ecstasy for a second, the first brother is very hurt, and really wants to draw a circle to wish the other party and Sanchawu not to get out of bed.
What's more serious, with Xiang Zhan's team fueling the flames behind the scenes, many insiders who had worked with Auric Richards in the past also jumped out and broke the news, pointing out that the two are arrogant and domineering and difficult to get along with.
