Chapter 246 I'm sorry, you can't I can(1/2)
Naturally, Luo Mo didn't know that Ding Xiaoyu had already begun to practice the title "Brother Xiaoyao" repeatedly in his mind.
He looked at Ding Xiaoyu, thinking that the girl was going to play the male and female lead with his master, and was a little embarrassed, so he said: "Acting is our job, and it should not be linked to life. You don't have to feel embarrassed. Just let go of the acting when the time comes."
The job of actors is to act. There are some actresses of similar age, some play mothers, and some play daughters.
It's just that everyone pays more attention to the emotional scenes and doesn't seem to care much about the character relationships in other scenes.
At the same time, Luo Mo looked at Ding Xiaoyu and couldn't help but remind him: "But... I find that you seem to be a bit of an experientialist?"
Ding Xiaoyu has been acting since she was a child and has not yet entered college, so she is not considered a professional for the time being. But how can she, a young actor, not understand the meaning of experience school.
Many experiential actors strive to embody the role to the greatest extent. For example, if they are beaten, they must be beaten for real. In emotional scenes, they will fully embody their own emotions.
Therefore, many experientialists will get too involved in the drama. Even after the filming is completed, they will never be able to break away from the role, becoming drama addicts, or even... drama lunatics!
Ding Xiaoyu is not that exaggerated, but he also has a slight tendency.
Because her real life is too depressing, she tends to experience the lives of various characters in the play firsthand.
This allows her to achieve maximum self-expression.
She looked at Luo Mo and nodded slightly, without denying this.
"It's better to be careful." Luo Mo patted her head gently with a gentle smile.
No matter in this world or on earth, many experiential actors win awards and get soft, but they can't live their own lives well.
He didn't particularly want Ding Xiaoyu to end up like this.
Xiao Yu nodded obediently, but Luo Mo didn't know whether he really listened.
Anyway, she was going to stay in her own crew and act under his nose, so Luo Mo wasn't too worried.
Time passed by another week, and the casting work was basically finalized.
The main characters such as Tang Yu, Xiaobao and Anu were also helped by Guan Fei.
It is said that when Peng Yuyan played Tang Yu, he was not as handsome as he is now, and he felt a bit crushed by Hu Ge back then.
They later even filmed a movie together called The Yang Family.
Many years later, I also filmed a costume drama with Liu Shishi that was not very well-received, but it was changed to Peng Yuyan as the first male lead and Hu Ge as the second male lead.
Among a series of starring roles, the role of Jiujianxian was finally finalized.
The drunken swordsman on earth is played by Tse Junhao. This is a man who defeated his brother Leslie Cheung when he won the award.
The role that everyone has a deep impression on him is Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
Speaking of which, this person's eyes are a bit dull, a bit biased toward dead fish eyes. They don't have that bright and sparkling look, but they make people feel a bit sharp inside.
When it comes to playing the role of a wine-swordsman, these eyes are an absolute bonus.
After Guan Fei read the script, his personal favorite was Jiu Jian Xian, so he was extra attentive when helping with casting.
It is worth mentioning that the actor who plays Jiujianxian and the young actor who plays Anu are real father and daughter.
This made the actor who played Tang Yu feel a lot of pressure, which meant that he was likely to have to act in an emotional scene with someone else's daughter under the nose of his father.
Moreover, the look in this biological father’s eyes is particularly terrifying!
Luo Mo doesn't care about these things.
He is currently selecting locations for filming.
Especially for the scenery here in Shushan, you have to choose carefully.
In the afternoon, Luo Mo and Guan Fei were discussing in the office.
There was a knock on the door, and an employee came to report something.
"Come in," Luo Mo said.
Employee Xiao Zhou came in and said: "Boss, Penguin Video has contacted us and seems to want to discuss "Sword of Immortality"."
"Huh? We haven't even sent out the final makeup photos yet, and the filming process is still at zero, and Penguin wants to come and buy the film?" Guan Fei was shocked.
He joked: "Luo Mo, you don't have any ulterior deals, do you?"
"Fuck you." Luo Mo's speech became more casual after getting familiar with him.
But the penguin's movements are indeed a bit fast.
"Okay, I understand, you go out and do your work first." Luo Mo said to Xiao Zhou.
In fact, as Luo Mo is a top actor, if he makes a drama, he doesn't have to worry about no one buying it, it's just whether the price is high or low.
But as soon as the project started, they came to buy them. This kind of treatment usually only exists in large-scale productions.
For example, after "The Legend of Zhen Huan" became a hit, the original team started working on "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".
Before anything could be done, a large group of people came to grab money.
Finally, the online broadcast rights were sold for a figure that seemed extremely scary at the time.
Although when it first aired, it seemed to have been overshadowed by the cool drama "Story of Yanxi Palace", but in the past few years after it was aired, I don't know whether it was because of the sudden popularity of "Lan Yin Xu Guo" or whether it was because of Zhou Gongzi
Her acting skills are truly impressive, so much so that her reputation and popularity seem to have picked up in recent years, and she is regarded as a classic again.
Luo Mo glanced at Guan Fei, who was twelve years older than him, and asked, "Brother Fei, what do you think?"
"What can I think? Of course I think highly of it!" he said in an exaggerated tone.
"You are so awesome, I have never enjoyed this kind of treatment!" Guan Fei was a little envious.
It is well known that Penguin is not short of money.
Penguins are very ambitious, as we all know.
However, although everyone is very happy to cooperate in the fields of music and animation, Penguin is not a mysterious existence from the perspective of God. Why do they value "Sword of Immortal" so much?
You know, now only the title of the drama and the main creative team have been announced to the public!
"Let's talk, I guess there are any additional conditions." Luo Mo smiled, and did not shy away from Guan Fei. He directly called the person in charge of docking at Penguin in front of him.
After the call ended, the two sat in the office and looked at each other.
"A penguin deserves to be a penguin." Guan Fei clicked his tongue.
Luo Mo also nodded.
Penguin Video offered a price for a major A-list drama, "Sword of Sword".
But an additional condition is that Penguin will have the right of first refusal for Luo Mo’s next two dramas.
The drama mentioned here refers to the drama in which Luo Mo stars.
At the same time, those who are screenwriters or directors are also included.
"It's about binding." Luo Mo smiled.
"So, I still value you." Guan Fei circled around and applauded Luo Mo again.
The idea of Penguin Video is very simple. "Sword of Immortal" is at least about flying in the dark. No matter how cute Luo Mo is, the final film should not be a big hit, and he won't rush to his grandma's house on the street.
Even if the final score is mediocre, it doesn't matter.
Luo Mo is top-notch, and his acting skills are top-notch. Whether we work on a self-made online drama together, or cooperate in other ways, it will be relatively stable.
The bundling and packaging model is also quite popular in the industry now. One reason is that the other party is afraid that once the other party soars into the sky, everyone will be dumped. The other reason is that the competition is very fierce now, very fierce.
Penguin Video is full of sincerity and spends money like crazy. In fact, the money it spends is not "Sword and Sword" at all. After all, the show doesn't even have a movie, it's purely Luo Mo!
Guan Fei looked at Luo Mo and said, "Penguin has been very ambitious in recent years."
"Their involvement in film and television platforms was actually a few years later than Pineapple TV and the like."
Luo Mo nodded, he knew this.
There used to be five major video platforms, but it was not as profitable as it is now. There are many reasons involved, such as rampant piracy.
Later, during the period of rapid development, each of the five major platforms showed their talents and two of them collapsed.
Penguin Video entered the battlefield at exactly this time and successfully emerged as a new force.
Eventually, we have the current situation of four major platforms.
Nowadays, this industry has grown in scale and climate, and it will be more difficult for others to enter the market.
"From a basic point of view, Penguin is inferior to the other three major platforms." Guan Fei said directly.
Luo Mo understood this. After all, although he entered the market forcefully during the golden age, he was still half a step behind others.
For example, on earth, you may not see Boss Jia going abroad to build cars, but the video platform he previously worked on was very prescient. When others did not pay attention to copyright, and even relied heavily on piracy to attract viewers, he went crazy with
Purchase the copyrights of major classic movies and TV series at low prices.
The copyright fees at that time, the total price of a drama, may not be as much as the cost of half an episode of a large-scale production now.
In the past, when people filmed dramas, they mainly made money from the TV stations. Unlike now, the online broadcast fees for many dramas are much higher than the money given by the TV stations.
Therefore, many people in the industry say that Boss Jia is the first person among all video websites to madly purchase genuine copyrights, and he is also the first to make money.
In this world, the copyrights of classic film and television dramas in the past were mostly controlled by the other three major platforms, such as Pineapple TV.
