A few days later, Xia Fan met director Teng Tao in a relatively private teahouse in Yanjing.
If nothing else goes wrong, this should be the only meeting between the two before filming begins.
The middle-aged man in front of him has a square face and a slightly plump face. He has neat short hair. Perhaps because of his successful career, he looks very energetic.
"Hello, Director Teng."
Xia Fan stood up and shook hands with him, then sat back down in his seat.
Teng Tao glanced at the table and said in surprise: "Xia Fan, you still carry the script with you?"
"Yes, I have been reading the script these days." Xia Fan nodded, "This is my first movie after all, so I have to put more thought into it. This time I can meet with Director Teng and talk about some related topics."
There was a hint of joy in Teng Tao's eyes. Fortunately, he chose Xia Fan and Meng Xue. If the publicity is good, the film will have a successful start without losing money.
"Although you didn't graduate from a professional school, if you are so willing to put in the effort, your progress in acting will not be slow."
There is a secret that he has never revealed to the outside world. Although Teng Tao has directed several TV series with good ratings, he is completely unsure about his first big-screen movie.
Let the facts speak for themselves.
How many famous directors in the television industry entered the film industry with great interest, but ended up failing.
The movie market is much crueler. Not only is competition fierce, such as schedules, film schedules, etc., but more importantly, this thing costs money. Unlike watching TV, which is free, even if the show is bad, you can still watch the whole show. Episode.
Most movies are about 100 minutes long, and a movie ticket costs about 50 yuan. For the same price, you can be a member of Penguin Video for two months.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? whishing that they have nothing to do to go to the movie theater and spend this wasted money?
Only those young couples who are passionately in love will use the cinema as a date place, which also contributes a part of the box office.
If the attendance rate is low, resulting in theater losses, the film schedule rate will be directly reduced, or even cut in half, this market is so cruel.
It¡¯s not that Teng Tao couldn¡¯t get film resources for higher investment, he consciously chose an urban emotional film to test the waters of the film industry.
This is not only what he is good at, but also can reduce cost investment.
With a cost of about 10 million, the box office pressure will be relatively small, which will also make Teng Tao's personal report card look better.
Teng Tao actually invited several popular male artists at the same time. Because he has a good personal relationship with Stefanie Lai, he also invited Xia Fan, the little king of her music industry.
Because the remuneration was not high, Teng Tao originally had no expectations, but Xia Fan actually agreed and invited Meng Xue. In addition, the "Shifan Party" made waves on the Internet, and the film became a hit before it was filmed.
In short, the problem of maintaining capital at the box office is not a big one.
Teng Tao was in a good mood at the moment. He pointed at the script on the table and said, "Xia Fan, the male protagonist of this drama is either funny or practical, but he is serious and cautious. He is a very contradictory individual. Grasp If you do this well, your character will shine."
Xia Fan took a sip of tea, frowned and thought for a while.
"Director Teng, should some aspects be slightly modified? I'm worried that my acting skills won't hold up."
"Oh, there are some places that need to be modified."
Teng Tao was a little surprised by Xia Fan's words. Today's new celebrity celebrities feel good about themselves, they all have their eyes set high, and they always feel that there is nothing they can't do.
??In fact, the most valuable thing for an artist is to understand how much you weigh, what challenges you can try, and which challenges you should click on.
"The design of the male protagonist has a bit of a girly personality, which is a bit risky and the audience may not like it."
"This" Teng Tao was slightly stunned, "Actually, I have considered this. This design of the male protagonist's image is actually a double-edged sword. It may be popular with the audience, or it may be complained by the audience."
¡°You said it¡¯s a bit risky, and I agree with that.¡±
Xia Fan¡¯s memories of this movie in his previous life are a bit fuzzy. Xia Fan only remembers that the male actor Wen Zhang and the female Lily starred in the movie. In the play, the two started out bickering and looking down on each other, and ended up falling in love with each other.
The most memorable thing is the role of the heroine, who is full of harsh words and has a strong and distinct personality, which is very eye-catching.
After reading the script carefully, Xia Fan discovered that the male protagonist Wang Xiaojian wasSuppose he talks in a coquettish voice, keeps applying lipstick, and seems to have some unclear sexual orientation
"Director Teng, I think the hero should be distinguished by his bitch, which is cute in his bitch, rather than the girl."
"Take a step back and look at my personal image" Xia Fan suddenly began to boast.
¡°With a height of over 180cm, sharp edges and muscles, and muscular lines on her arms, she can¡¯t play such a girly role.¡±
It is one thing that the acting skills cannot support this role, but Xia Fan's external image is very different from his early 170s and some delicate articles.
Teng Tao lowered his head slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
After all, he finalized the script. Now that the actor wants to change the script, he feels that the other party does not respect him.
But after all, he is an old Jianghu and an old fox, and these negative emotions were cleverly concealed by him.
Teng Tao feels that he is a well-known director in the TV drama circle, while Xia Fan is just a rising star in the music industry.
The other party¡¯s current experience is just one bad TV series. If Xia Fan hadn¡¯t been so popular, he wouldn¡¯t have been invited to boost the box office.
"This young man with no filming experience dares to question the script he designed!"
The promotion has been started, and without special circumstances, the male and female protagonists cannot change again. What's more, the investors' investment increased by 2 million because of Xia Fan's participation.
"Okay, let me adjust the character design." Teng Tao still chose to give in.
¡°After all, he is in charge of directing, Xia Fan still has to act in the play, and he still has to control the box office. This is the first movie in his life, and no accidents are allowed to happen.
"Thendo you have any other suggestions?" Teng Tao said calmly, "The movie is about to start shooting, and the final script must be finalized immediately."
Xia Fan smiled calmly: "No, there is no problem in other aspects. During this time, I will study the script carefully and try to control this role well."
After a brief pause, he then added: "For this movie, I postponed the release of the single because I was busy studying this character."
Teng Tao thought of something and asked again: "What about the theme song"
¡°I¡¯ll write it when the movie starts shooting.¡± Xia Fan replied.
"Is it too late?" Teng Tao was a little impatient.
"The song has been completed, all that's left is to write the lyrics." Xia Fan smiled.
