"The order of the actors' names should make way for the characters."
"I don't want any sound to blur and affect the work itself."
Starring in the fight for the position of the fan is nothing new, but few actors, especially popular artists, are willing to honestly face and respond to the controversy of the position.
Yang Mi and Jin Chen both expressed their attitude on the issue of the new drama being "crushed" two days ago: the fan ranks first in the secondary role, and I hope everyone pays attention to the play itself.
Seeing the attitude of Yang Mi and Jin Chen, some people speculate that the battle of positions in the film and television industry is coming to an end? Some people also feel that this is redundant, because in the big male protagonist drama, the female protagonist emphasizes the significance of the position. Although Yang Mi and Jin Chen have the same attitude towards the change of position, the reasons behind it are not exactly the same.
01
There is no doubt that the TV series "Harbin 1944" and "South to North" are both head projects with high appeal to actors.
"Harbin 1944" is directed by Zhang Li, with Wang Xiaogun, Liu Tianzhuang and Liu Jinfei as screenwriters. Judging from the introduction to the story, Yang Mi rarely played a cold-blooded and suspicious villain - Guan Xue, which tested the actor's expressiveness. If he can play it well, Guan Xue is expected to become a representative role in reversing Yang Mi's reputation.
"South to North" is directed by Zheng Xiaolong and Liu Zhangmu, written by Gao Mantang and Li Zhou, is a period drama about the passing on of the soul of railway cadres and police. Jin Chen's role Ma Yan, although not as strong as Yang Mi, but as the leading female lead, the role should be second only to Bai Jingting and Ding Yongdai.
The point of controversy about Yang Mi this time is why he was suppressed by Qin Hao. It is understandable that although Yang Mi is better than Qin Hao in popularity and appeal, "Harbin 1944" is a spy war from the perspective of the male protagonist, and it is reasonable for Yang Mi to become the second starring actor.
Jin Chen's experience was different from Yang Mi's. "South to North" seems to have been adjusted before and after filming, and Jin Chen was the second leading actor when the series was officially announced, second only to Bai Jingting, but in the materials released the day before yesterday, Jin Chen was suspected to have become the third starring actor, so there was a controversy of "two times to three times".
Although the position is often stated when the film party signs a contract with the actor, if the ranking order can really become a blank paper and black-lettered clause, there will not be so much criticism. In fact, audiences who love to watch dramas do not care who comes first and who is the first of the leading actors, and it is not so much that the Weibo of the two female stars is sent to the public to see, but that it is sent out to appease the crew and fans.
02
Yang Mi and Jin Chen, as long-known 30-year-old + actresses, have been immersed in their comfort zone for too long, and their desire for good stories is strong when they strive to transform, and it will be of great help to the future to cooperate with an excellent team.
The ability of fans to stir up the public opinion field is escalating day by day, and the actress's career-type fans (commonly known as pollen) have strong combat effectiveness and are extremely sensitive to data such as fan positions, coffee positions, and salaries, especially the changes in fan positions encountered by Jin Chen, which makes it difficult for many fans who are on fire to accept.
Fan position is not only linked to remuneration, but also the embodiment of actor's position and importance, and is closely related to the actor's subsequent film and television and business resources. The word "banbit" originated in Japan, and the higher the fan, the more responsible for the box office and ratings. The same is true for the mainland film and television industry, if a drama becomes popular, the positive traffic and discussion will be undertaken. Therefore, both fans and actors care about the first starring actor.
Just like a migrant worker will negotiate with the company about the rank and salary before joining the company, paying for the enthusiasm of the work does not mean that the rate of return is not considered. The pollen that values the rate of return the most is often the rise of actresses.
In the officially announced puppet drama "Twilight Heart Appointment" at the end of last year, Yang Ying fans believed that Yang Ying's coffee position was better than Ren Jialun, and strongly asked the studio to win for Yang Ying.
What is even more exaggerated is "One Nian Guanshan" produced by Ningmeng Film and Television some time ago. Liu Shishi fans believe that Liu Shishi, as a heroine, has not been treated as she deserves, such as the proportion of Liu Shishi in the group portrait poster is too small, the official announcement copywriter Liu Shishi and the second Liu Yuning's name is on the same line, and so on.
The tearing incident of these two dramas has been on the hot search. It can be seen that if Yang Mi and Jin Chen do not come out in time to make a statement, I am afraid that some fans will become more and more noisy.
The tearing of the film and television industry may be traced back to the movie "Painted Skin 2", the dispute between Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun's double heroine. Finally, the movie poster was changed to the name of the two people, the position was parallel, and the image area was equal before it came to an end. After the opening of the traffic era, the battle of the same gender has risen to the competition between traffic artists. In the early years, the most popular tear was "Green Hairpin Line" starring Yang Zi and a certain unethical artist, and later, all the dramas with a bunch of traffic often made a lot of jokes.
Jin Chen's position adjustment is not the first time it has appeared. Some netizens observed that in the Weibo copy before the start of "Yulou Chun" and before the broadcast, Jin Chen's position was not uniform.
From the filming to the broadcast of a drama, the popularity and salary of the actors may change a lot, and the position may also be adjusted. Perhaps for this reason, many dramas now deliberately blur the order of actors outside the scene, leading actors followed by a large number of special guest actors, friendship stars, special starring, starring...
03
The battle for positions is, in the final analysis, a commercial game.
Jin Chen and Yang Mi are both 30+ female stars looking for a breakthrough, especially Yang Mi, who just terminated his contract with Jiaxing and officially began his personal development.
To be precise, "Harbin 1944" is the first drama she filmed after terminating her contract. Yang Mi has been in Jiahang for 10 years, single-handedly leading the valuation of the company, and also bringing other artists under Hong. But on the other hand, all the dramas starring Yang Mi in the past five years have not broken 7 on Douban. Yang Mi, who started over, needs a character with excellent quality and deep hearts to save his reputation.
Her upcoming drama "The Fox Demon Little Red Lady" and the movie "There is no hot pot that cannot be solved" are the themes she has dabbled in before, and Guan Xue of "Harbin 1944" is more challenging and allows people to see Yang Mi's senior actor label.
Yang Mi has always had a keen judgment on the direction of the market wind, from "a player" to calling for the role first, the wind direction of the drama market has really changed.
