All these small actions were aimed at Mei Zihan.
Shen Leqiu found that he had no way to snatch the role in the "Big Devil" movie from Mei Zihan, because Mei Zihan himself was the investor of this movie. Similarly, in "Shit Shovel Officer", Mei Zihan is also an investor.
Mei Zihan is an investor in two consecutive movies, and the meaning of this is a bit intriguing.
It is impossible for outsiders like them to know whether Mei Zihan invested in his movie because he was optimistic about it, or whether he acted in this movie because of the investment.
But if you don't know, it doesn't mean you can't try it out.
"Fu Shen" is a good opportunity to test it out. Almost none of the actors in this web drama are well-known. For an actor, starring in a web drama is actually an embarrassing choice. If there are no dramas to act in, then online dramas are a good choice, but for those actors who just use online dramas as a pedal and want to actually act in TV dramas, it seems rather tasteless.
Actors who come from online dramas are currently regarded as one of the more discriminated against. Unless you have your own fame to act in online dramas to gain popularity, otherwise, once the online drama is over, the audience will no longer remember you.
As for the actors who starred in online dramas, unless their own qualifications are really excellent, even if they can act in those star dramas that can be broadcast on TV stations, they can only be the n number of male and female supporting roles. But more is that actors in online dramas can only act in online dramas.
The investment of "Fu Shen" itself is there. Mei Zihan, as the facade and soul of this online drama, has already attracted countless attention and enthusiasm. In other words, other actors only need to come over to catch the heat. , and the rest hardly need them to worry about.
This is of course very worry-free, after all, there are so many online dramas every year, only a few of them can be popular. Participating in this online drama starring Mei Zihan is equivalent to getting a high-profile online drama with a hit rate of over 100 million every minute.
But the same disadvantage is also very obvious.
All the people watching this web drama will only care about Mei Zihan from the beginning to the end. It is impossible for the screenwriter to give an outstanding role to a supporting role to steal the limelight from the protagonist Mei Zihan, and even if there are enough outstanding roles, if you want to perform well in comparison with Mei Zihan's acting skills, it is better to expect yourself The web drama he starred in became popular overnight.
In fact, when "Fu Shen" was broadcast, the audience were all lamenting that the serious TV and movie actors are really different from the online drama actors. Those online drama actors who usually look at their acting skills are not bad, but their acting skills are very clumsy in front of serious actors.
The online drama actors who participated in the first season of "Fu Shen" were a little hot when the online drama was broadcast, and then there was no splash at all.
It is precisely because of this that Shen Leqiu and others told the online drama actors who played important roles in the second season of "Fu Shen" that they can be given a serious role in a star TV series, on condition that they quit the filming of "Fu Shen". Most of the people agreed.
It's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. In Mei Zihan's online drama, they will never try to stand out, and don't let the audience look at them more. But it's different in other TV shows.
In the second and third seasons of "Fu Shen", there were a total of 20 important supporting actors, and only eight of them did not hesitate to participate in the acting.
There are 12 vacancies left, and it is definitely not easy to find them in a while.
The director and producer were worried about Mei Zihan, and they briefly explained what happened.
Their main concern is that finding an actor temporarily will delay Mei Zihan's schedule, and Mei Zihan's time is scheduled every day.
"It's okay, I'll go and talk to my agent." Mei Zihan looked at them calmly. After all, this incident happened because of him, and he couldn't just push the trouble to the director and producer.
Mei Zihan turned around and went into her lounge, briefly explained the matter to Liu Tianyi, and then couldn't help calling Jiang Ying to complain.
"When the director and producer told me what happened, I almost thought I was watching a TV series. What age is this and they still use this kind of method? Did they eat too many lozenges? If they really want to give If I dig a hole, I might as well open an online drama with the same theme as my "Fu Shen" immediately to share my click rate."
Mei Zihan's thinking is always different from other people's thinking.
Hearing what Mei Zihan said, Jiang Ying had only one feeling in her heart, that this was indeed a solution that Mei Zihan could come up with. In order to achieve their own goals, other people like to use small tricks to do small tricks, but Mei Zihan is more willing to use scheming to compete with others in an upright manner.
If life is a martial arts novel, then Mei Zihan is destined to be the kind of hero with unparalleled justice. It's not that he doesn't understand those conspiracies, but he just doesn't bother to use them.
"They probably just want to test your depth." Jiang Ying thought for a while, and said, "The combined investment of "The Shit Shovel Officer" and "The Great Devil" is 100 million, plus the previous NN brand show, you Entering the venue as a VIP client, they must be very curious. That's why you did this little trick to see what your background is?"
"Ahem, then my dear golden thigh, Comrade Jiang Ying, are you willing to spend a lot of money for me to clear these obstacles?"
"Mr. Mei, I don't think I need to spend a lot of money on this. You can solve it by yourself. In the talent show "We Are All Idols", didn't you accept ten acting students? Let them go to your web drama It’s enough to take a walk in the park and recruit a few popular students.”
Mei Zihan's eyes lit up, "Your method is very good, but those students all have company studios behind them, will they easily agree to me?"
"Of course." Jiang Ying laughed, ""The Shit Shoveler" has proved your box office appeal. Although the actors want to suppress you, these companies or studios really want to win you over. These The contestants were born in the talent show. Even if the talent show is over, they will not be able to act in those big productions as soon as they come up. They have to start with the online drama. Now that your online drama is in front of them, there is no need to waste their company’s resources , earning your popularity and click-through rate for nothing, I am afraid that even if you don’t need a paycheck, they will rush to come to this online drama of yours.”
"There is no need for Baigong, we are not so poor yet." Mei Zihan is not short of money now, so naturally there is no need to exploit these cute little players, "It will depend on the roles they can get Right. Pay them whatever the original actors were paid for that role."
Having just made more than 100 million yuan, Mei Zihan is very rich now.
Mei Zihan quickly told Liu Tianyi about Jiang Ying's good idea, and Liu Tianyi also said that he could give it a try.
But since these students are here, why can't my good brother not come to help? We are already on the same boat, how can we forget them
Without any sign of guilt, Mei Zihan called Qin Ling and Xu Ji'an, and invited them to play some cameo roles. Of course, even if there are no such characters, they can be temporarily added now.
Xu Ji'an's first reaction was to refuse.
However, before he could say his refusal, Mei Zihan's threat arrived in no time.
"Brother Xu, when this web drama airs, I will definitely publicize it on Weibo and thank you at that time. If you really don't have time to help me, I'm afraid it will have some bad influence on you. "
"Are you threatening me?" Xu Ji'an's face was very ugly, "How long are you fucking going to keep this brotherhood going?"
"Of course it's time to wait until my wounded heart heals." Mei Zihan said cheekily.
I can't see when your heart was hurt? Isn't he the one who hurt the most in this matter? !
"Brother Xu, you hired navy soldiers behind your back to blackmail me. In fact, I found all the evidence. I just remembered that when we were making movies, the two of us could be regarded as friends. I was very sad, and now we are both not good."
Without morals, anything is possible!
If God gave Xu Ji'an another chance to start all over again, he would still hire the navy to go to Heimei Zihan and slander him to death! It's just that next time it will be more concealed, and there will never be any clues to be discovered.
Qin Ling readily agreed, "At that time, I owed you a favor..."
"It's just a cameo, it's not a favor." Mei Zihan is not stupid, Qin Ling's favor is so precious, how could he give it away just because of a small cameo role
"So you mean to let me work for nothing?"
"Of course not. I have already asked my agent to contact the program group. This can be used as a special plan for the program group. Of course, if those students under your name also want to come and play a few roles, I am completely Welcome." Mei Zihan blinked, "It's really good to sing a theme song or an episode or something. Are you interested in a promotional song?"
... It's just a web drama, so it's not necessary to use a promotional song.
Qin Ling was speechless.
"I'm curious, this web drama can be played by another person. You just need to increase your salary a little, and they will naturally not be able to hire you."
Paying a sky-high salary is also a common method for stars to refuse to appear in a certain project. Since you can't afford my salary, then naturally we can't cooperate. It can not only raise one's social status, but also tactfully refuse.
"Of course it's because of love."
This is an online drama invested by Jiang Ying. It is a love drama between Mei Zihan and Jiang Ying. Can he treat it with care
Qin Ling was silent for a while, then hung up the phone.
If you don't say it, don't say it, why make such an excuse
Mei Zihan let out a long sigh.
What he said is really true.
