Chapter 470 The hero does not ask the source
As the boss of Fanxing Interactive Entertainment, Fan Kuanfan considers the interests of the company as the starting point. Therefore, in this interview, his identity was first the boss of Fanxing Interactive Entertainment, and secondly a director or producer.
Wang Kai's performance is indeed very good. His acting skills and role-fitting degree are much higher than the other four actors, but from another perspective, his fame is really too bad.
If an actor like Wu Xunhua and Han Jun are hired to act in this drama, the drama will have its own traffic at the beginning, because these two actors already have some fans, and these fans will definitely pay for the ratings.
But Wang Kai is different. He has almost no popularity in the circle of Fanxing Interactive Entertainment. Even if his performance is excellent, it may not bring much benefits to the show.
So Fan Kuan said this bluntly.
Chen Zhe understood Fan Kuan's consideration and nodded immediately and said, "Mr. Fan, I know what you mean. You want to use the fame of Wu Xunhua or Han Jun to make the popularity of this drama bigger, right?"
"Yes, yes." Fan Kuan immediately smiled and nodded, "This is my idea. Wang Kai's performance is indeed good. As I said just now, his sense of layering is indeed the best, but... he has no fans, and it is a bit too risky to use such a newcomer."
In fact, there is another thing Fan Kuan didn't say, that is, another male protagonist of this drama - Chen Zhe, who is also a fourth-tier star with no fans.
Chen Zhe was indeed very popular during this period, and he also brought his own traffic, but his traffic was more about his controversy and his works.
People often pay attention to the masked singer, life on the tip of the tongue, the relationship between Chen Zhe and Da Qiao, or the big show between Chen Zhe and Fengyan crew.
Apart from that, almost no one is Chen Zhe’s fan, and no one wants to watch his performance.
In addition, the Fengyan crew poured dirty water on Chen Zhe's body before, which led to Chen Zhe's current acting skills being seriously despised by the outside world.
Chen Zhe is already so miserable. With Wang Kai who is completely new, is this drama still possible?
Faced with Fan Kuan's concerns, Chen Zhe was quite calm.
He smiled softly and said, "Mr. Fan, I think you are overly worried. The key to whether a drama is good or not or not is the quality of the drama, not how famous it is and how luxurious the lineup is.
Even if an excellent film and television drama is all shot by newcomers, as long as its plot is excellent and the actors have excellent acting skills, the drama will definitely become popular.
On the contrary, if a drama has no plot, the actors are not serious, and even don’t fit their own characters, then even if the lineup of this drama is unparalleled, there will definitely be no good reputation."
The reason why Chen Zhe said this is because in another world, countless film and television dramas have received tests of one kind or another.
There was a time when the film and television dramas on the market were almost filled with traffic. It can be said that any drama was mainly traffic and supplemented by the plot.
Some film and television dramas have no plot at all, they just simply throw traffic on TV and recite lines, and they can't even read lines well.
Such a film and television drama can only end in failure. Even if these traffic fans are willing to pay for their idols, they cannot support the failure of a film and television drama.
On the contrary, some film and television dramas that became popular with their plot and excellent acting skills have become a clear stream in this impetuous circle and have taken the opportunity to counterattack.
In this world, the era of traffic as king has not arrived. Fan Kuan’s wrong judgment at this time is also related to his lack of this experience.
Hearing Chen Zhe's strong words, Fan Kuan asked thoughtfully: "Mr. Chen, this drama is related to your future acting career. Do you think it's okay to put all the bets on a newcomer?"
"I think it's okay. Wang Kai deserves my trust. As the saying goes, heroes don't ask where they come from. Since he has acting skills and fits the role of King Jing, I am willing to believe him."
Chen Zhe said,
"In addition, Mr. Fan, when you hired me to film "The King of Masked Singer", didn't I have any qualifications? You were also unwilling to believe me unconditionally, so did you get the super variety show "The King of Masked Singer"?"
After hearing this, Fan Kuan smiled, but said in his heart: "That's because of Mr. Song. You were arranged by Mr. Song for me directly. Of course, I can't refuse. If you are just a newcomer without any background, I dare not let you take a masked singer on me..."
However, these words can only be said quietly in his heart, and he dare not say them in person.
"Ahem... I'm right. If Mr. Chen really looks up to Wang Kai so much, then I might as well give him a chance." Fan Kuan said with a smile.
After talking about this, even if things were decided, Fan Kuan first sent the final decision back to the crew, while Chen Zhe and Ouyang Meixi left the conference room together.
When they are together in private, the two of them have less particular attention to their conversations.
Meixi no longer called Chen Zhe "Mr. Chen", but directly called him Chen Zhe.
"Chen Zhe, what you said today is great." Meixi said with a smile.
"Hmm? What's great? That sentence is great?" Chen Zhe asked with a smile.
"It's what you said when you firmly chose Wang Kai." Meixi said, "You didn't dislike Wang Kai because he was not famous, nor did you blindly choose Xiao Wu and Han Jun because they were famous. You said the key to a drama is the quality of the drama, the quality of the plot and the acting skills of the actors. I think you said these words very well."
Chen Zhe smiled softly and said, "This is also my heartfelt words, and I don't want the current circle to develop in the direction of traffic as king.
Big-name actors are indeed excellent. The reason why they can become big-name actors must indicate that they have certain strength, but no actor is omnipotent and suitable for various roles. Each role needs a specific actor who fits him to match, so that the drama can become more exciting.
A person who pursues big names, traffic, status, and uses actors to force the plot, will definitely not be good in the final shooting.
Wang Kai just happened to be very suitable for the role of King Jing, and I believe he can definitely complete our "Qilin Zhi" quite well."
"I think so too." Meixi said with a smile, "Let's look forward to the completion of this drama together. Come on, Chen Zhe!"
Chen Zhe smiled and nodded: "Come on, Princess Nihuang."
