Chapter 6 The cancer of the entertainment industry

With Douglas's huge investment support, he knows that he can recover.

A week after analyzing the Korean drama, Thunder Superstar held a meeting of all decision makers.

As the chief superstars, Zhang Bowen and Cheng Lu naturally participated in it, followed by the heads of various departments and Tang Shao.

"Chairman, now the Korean drama wind is blowing very hard. Let's postpone the shooting of new dramas..." The minister of the operation department proposed cautiously: "This is to minimize our losses, so that we can save some of the money we made in the past few days... The last two TV series will cause us great losses. You should know that the cost of shooting a TV series costs 300 million yuan, which is not the remuneration for the actors..."

Tang Shao took a look at him and put forward different opinions: "This kind of passive waiting is definitely not a positive solution. We are not a unit with zero consumption. Many actors need to be rewarded. Waiting without income will make the financial situation that is already in decline even worse! You may turn over when you move, and such a meaningless wait will only aggravate the problem!"

Pan Hongsheng nodded and motioned him to continue.

"I think our current team can fully have the ability to imitate the Korean drama model!" Tang Shao's proposal is very bold: "Directly apply their model. Is it useless for us to analyze Korean dramas these days? Learning from other people's strengths and sense of rhythm is a problem we must solve now!"

For Tang Shao's statement, Zhang Bowen and Cheng Lu nodded gently, and the three important figures stood in a camp.

"Imitation of Korean drama mode?"

For this statement, there was still a discordant voice. The fat man shook his head: "This model is based on their own cultural background. I guess there is little chance of success by imitating it. Maybe Handan will learn to follow the example and make a joke."

Pan Hongsheng looked at the fat man and nodded.

The rest of the supervisors dare not speak, because they are not sure about the situation. It is not a joke to speak randomly at this time. Once they become the culprit of the company's wrong decision, they will be fired.

Pan Hongsheng saw that everyone expressed their opinions clearly and knew that it was time for him to make a final say.

He only noticed this skill later. Why do many leaders speak until the end? This kind of person who is bored to the end is the smartest.

The previous person said all his ideas, and he stood from the perspective of a bystander to think and analyze and improve it, which immediately became the perfect argument.

Since you are the last speaker, the objections are almost extinct.

Join a leader to take the lead in taking a position on a promising thing, and then everyone opposes one by one and points out shortcomings, which seems that you are very unskilled.

In this case, Pan Hongsheng has already figured out everyone's general opinions and ideas. In this case, it is time to consider what he needs to pay attention to, or whether there is a reasonable explanation for whether there is enough to put forward an argument that is different from everyone's opinions.

"Everyone's idea is really good. Tang Shao's proposal just now is very brave, and part of what he said is right. It's not a good way to sit back and wait for death. Negative response will only make things worse and worse.

Pan Hongsheng's words made the wall grasses present immediately applaud and agreed. But Pan Hongsheng took a sip of water and continued to say, "But this idea has a flaw: what is popular now is Korean dramas, largely because everyone has a sense of freshness to this thing. When it took us several months to shoot it, even if it is exactly the same as the other party, the audience can buy these domestic TV series with the taste of kimchi. "Is it?"

Those who applauded were stunned: Is this... agree or disagree?

But Tang Shao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I ignored this problem."

"The duration of the audience's interest is limited, and we must summarize this! This experience is made with money! Isn't the operation problem in our previous stage because we are complativated and constantly staying in the idol drama stage without making progress? We must learn a lesson this time!"

Pan Hongsheng took out the label picture he drew yesterday: "There are three characteristics of Korean dramas: slow pace, close to life, and the most important thing is to sell family affection! This kind of repertoire may be popular for a while, but according to the current situation, this popular situation will soon fall into a decline, because it is originally an imported culture. In the end, there is no sense of cultural belonging, just a new look.

As he spoke, he pointed to the last line of the map: "When we watch Korean dramas, we not only learn his strengths, but also find trends from them!"

Any genre has a time when it goes from fashion to decline. In the early years, it was worn by the police and bandits, and then went south to the palace. Now it is a Korean drama and a Japanese drama. Facts show that many things are not constant, especially in the entertainment industry, which is closely related to the trend.

"New theme! What we need now is this! We have almost understood the trend by watching Korean dramas, making our works closer to life, making the scenes simpler, and making our actors' acting skills more lifelike!" Pan Hongsheng finally said his idea: "It's time to take out something at the bottom of the box!" Have you noticed that there is a film with a theme that hasn't appeared for a long time?

This time, not only those ministers shook their heads one by one, but even Zhang Bowen and Cheng Lu, and even Tang Shao were at a loss.

"Everyone knows about our country in the 1960s and 1970s, right? The story of educated youths going to the countryside..."

"Ah? Those are all old-fashioned things, right? The fat man looked at Pan Hongsheng in surprise: "That kind of old millet thing was broadcast live when I was young. Later, I was tired of watching it and didn't broadcast it."

Pan Hongsheng made a powerful gesture: "Yes! It's the pure feeling, the color of the era! It may be leftover for people of your age, but for the new generation, it is very fresh! The post-80s can more or less feel the taste of that era, but the post-90.00 doesn't feel it at all, and few people even know the existence of that time! In fact, we are not innovative. Just like Huan Huan Chuan, we take out the old pickles and add some sesame oil. It's another dish.

The words are not rough, and everyone understood Pan Hongsheng's meaning in an instant: This is to popularize the knowledge of the post-90s and post-00s!

Sometimes it is true. You, a post-80s generation, may complain about why Journey to the West has been broadcast so many times, and it is still broadcast in the summer vacation.

When you yawn, you can think of those new generations staring at this not scary Monkey King, not disgusting Zhu Bajie, not being a naughty Tang monk...

The position sometimes determines a lot of problems.

After the meeting, the whole company operated in an orderly manner according to Pan Hongsheng's instructions. Because no one has done such a series for a long time, the costume props and shooting location are very nerve-wracking.

The director was very interested in Pan Hongsheng and deliberately used his own relationship to find old military uniforms and rural cadre uniforms from film studios in other places, as well as some old furniture at that time.

Under the guidance of the fat man, a group of young people such as glasses began to create Pan Hongsheng's imaginary world little by little. In that era of beautiful scenery, those who blushed when they said a word and always felt like comrades.

At that time, comrades were not a special group.

Because many screenwriters are post-90s, they themselves have not experienced that kind of rough life, that kind of dramatic life, so it was a little difficult at the beginning.

Finally, the fat man was anxious. He simply took these young people to Chongming Island and other places in Dabei Mountain to experience life. They ate dry and spicy cakes for a week. After they came back, these otaku asked each other, and the vivid scenes of life were displayed in front of everyone. After the script came out, Pan Hongsheng watched it three times in a row, but he still couldn't see it. Enough.

Under the leadership of a master like Fat Guy, the young people quickly completed the later revision, and the cast has made some changes. Cheng Lu is still undoubtedly the first heroine, and Zhang Bowen was arranged by the director to be a big villain.

Because there is a bad feeling in Zhang Bowen's temperament, he can't play the simple and natural feeling of male pig's feet.

Although there are many young male actors in Thunder Superstar Entertainment Company, they are all Xiao Zhengtai or Shunan. There is no such type of simple and honest temperament like Wang Baoqiang, but good-looking.

This time, Pan Hongsheng not only put forward the type of script, but also boldly fixed the hero and heroine: the heroine is naturally pure and good, and the hero must also meet the environment at that time.

It is impossible for a bad boy with a wave head and a walk in that era. The young man in that era is fixed as a few images: it's not a green military uniform, a green hat holding a belt and riding a manganese steel beam bicycle, or going up to the countryside with great interest and then crying and calling his mother. It seems that he had to cry to his family to escape. Of course, there are also a small number of privileged people who can stay in the city as workers.

The hero belongs to the second type of person. Obviously, his personality must have the trend of urban youth in the 1960s and 1970s, but that taste is limited to one more sea soul shirt than other rural youth.

In the end, they decided to make an open call for the new actor. As long as they have a performance foundation, 19-24 actors from any acting school in the country can participate in the selection.

After the news was announced, it immediately caused an uproar.

Newcomers across the country are boiling, and almost all the male artists of school age have come. The temporary population in the capital has suddenly doubled. Even dozens of overseas Chinese have participated. An old man in his sixties wanted to get in, but failed.

Due to the large number of applicants, the selection work was quite difficult. Several groups of test teachers were exhausted and had to go to the hospital for a drip.

Pan Hongsheng didn't expect this situation, but he didn't expect that there were so many people chasing their dreams!

But it is undeniable that the comprehensive quality of artists is getting worse and worse now. During the cultural assessment, there are all kinds of jokes and jokes.

Some common sense questions asked by the examiner are almost at the level of middle school students, but they are difficult for most candidates.

Who is the author of Lanting Preface?

"Lanting."

"Jay Chou."

"What? Isn't it Jay Chou? Is that Xu Song..."

Pan Hongsheng has no expectations for the IQ of these guys. Many people in the entertainment industry think that how many books they read have nothing to do with whether they can act or not, but when compared with artists in other countries and regions, their level is much worse.

Even those artists from other parts of China can completely expose these mainland artists who are grumpy, childish, and have exaggerated and shallow shapes. On the stage, you can almost quickly distinguish those from the mainland, those from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

This is caused by the irregular development of the entertainment industry. Many small and medium-sized entertainment companies only look at money and immediate interests, and do not consider the long-term development of these artists.

There are very few entertainment companies such as Tianyu and Meilidu that can systematically train artists for a long time, because many small companies have quite good funds. Once they encounter any unexpected event, they will collapse immediately, which also makes these artists who follow them waste their youth.

This problem is indeed not unique to the mainland, and Hong Kong, Taiwan and other countries also have this phenomenon.

Why are those front-line male stars and female stars already 30 when they became popular? Lin Zhiling has just become famous for a few years and even has been four years old. It is because there are many irregular and weak companies that the artist's future will bet on tomorrow. When the money is made, the boss immediately runs away and declares bankruptcy, leaving only those big-eyed artists.

Therefore, artists are also becoming more and more impetuous. In addition, there is a common habit of contempt for higher education in inland areas. In addition, academic corruption and various things that disrupt the rules of the game have caused the current situation of overall quality decline.

Go to college and stupidly study for four years before making your debut? At that time, it was 22 years old. After a few years of delay in accumulating experience, I'm afraid it's all 30. At this time, it depends on luck. If you are lucky, you may be popular when you meet a Bole and reliable entertainment company. It's unreliable... It's directly reduced to one of the vast armies waiting for the role of extra actors.

Pan Hongsheng was very dead about this card: "If there is not enough personal cultivation, it will be eliminated! Otherwise, even if you become popular, you will be ashamed to go to a bigger stage!"

His worries are not superfluous. Over the years, many star artists actually have the opportunity to become superstars, but they are willing to degenerate and do not control themselves. Some are discredited by foreign devils, and some are harmed by their own greed, so that they can't get along in the circle.

Some of them even became a little famous, and made some arrogant and domineering things that made people hate themselves and ghosts. After becoming the target of the siege of public opinion, they disappeared, and at most a third-rate program host to live.
