As soon as Feng Xiaogang made a shot, he really did not treat the audience as an outsider, and he moved the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry to the table without a word.
In "North and South", director Feng Xiaogang tells different stories of the workplace, shopping malls and families from the perspective of five female protagonists. When telling about those things about the entertainment industry through the perspectives of Dai Xiaoyu, Bao Xue, and You Shanshan, director Feng Da's boldness makes people can't help but give a thumbs up.
That's why he dared to shoot like this!
As in the past, "satire" is the unchanging style of Feng Xiaogang's works, and "lashing out" is a consistent style.
We all know that being beautiful in the workplace is the biggest advantage, but I didn't expect that in the entertainment industry, the beautiful advantage is so big.
Dai Xiaoyu, a highly educated and good-looking returnee, participated in a liquor store about the producer's cooperation under the leadership of her sister. Although she is a newcomer, she is still the sister of the unknown small actor Bao Xue, who should have been snubbed by everyone and would not have attracted the attention of others, but because of her beauty, she was toasted by the bosses and friends.
This is a beautiful advantage.
Originally because of emotional discomfort back to China to heal, there is no serious job, no income and place to live, but because of this liquor bureau, Dai Xiaoyu effortlessly, successfully by the boss of the public relations company, and became the boss's employee.
Why? Because pretty.
Beautiful Dai Xiaoyu, going out with the boss to talk about business can promote the success of the business and please Party A more.
Second, it is to be able to drink.
The ancestral thousand cups are not drunk, so that Dai Xiaoyu has a superior advantage.
Why? Because business is negotiated at the dinner table.
The chips on the dinner table are staggered, the proportions in the words are grasped, and the other party is happy to drink, and the business comes. Coincidentally, Dai Xiaoyu is beautiful and can drink, even if it is "carrying a pot punch", there is no drunkenness.
The public relations company's Chai can always look at her because he knows too well what kind of people the entertainment industry needs to talk about business, and what hobbies and habits people talk about business are.
Chai's bluntness also revealed the potential rules of the entertainment industry. Pretty is the advantage, pretty is the capital.
As Du Hua said in an interview: "It is important to look good. ”
Therefore, a returnee Dai Xiaoyu, who has just returned from abroad, has no research on the domestic market, and does not understand the culture of the wine table, can quickly become the object of Chai Zong's favor, and become his right-hand man.
When talking about cooperation with Hua Jie, a famous broker in the industry, Chai Zong took Dai Xiaoyu to the liquor bureau, and due to the difference of views in the early stage, the final business was not negotiated. But just when Chai Zong had nothing to do, when Sister Hua was stubbornly guarding against it, Dai Xiaoyu stood up.
Walking in front of The Flower Sister, it is another "pot rush", and it is another point of view output. Let the flower sister who has been in the mall for a long time be impressed, look good and not pretentious, mainly can drink, a word let the flower sister listen to it.
The business that should have been yellow was successful again under the rescue of Dai Xiaoyu.
That night, she received a single reward of twenty thousand.
In this era of "beauty is justice", Dai Xiaoyu's beauty has become the biggest advantage, which also feels from point to point to face the high requirements and high standards of the entertainment industry for appearance, as well as tolerance and tolerance for high-value beauties.
No one explicitly stipulates that beautiful has an advantage, but this is the rule of not becoming, which is the so-called unspoken rule.
Feng Xiaogang used Dai Xiaoyu's perspective to uncover the "culture" of the entertainment industry wine table, emphasizing "beautiful" many times, which also means something.
Beautiful is like an admission ticket, with this admission ticket, it comes to a more fierce competitive environment - the battle for positions.
The audience chasing the stars must be familiar with the word "fan position", whether it is one or two times, as the name suggests, whether it is male (female) number one, or male (female) number two.
Stars will compete fiercely for the position, fans will also speak out for the position of the idol, which is not uncommon in the show business circle, but it is Feng Xiaogang to take this matter to the table to discuss.
Agent Hua Jie and Chai talked about the project, the content of which was originally scheduled to be a mountain to play male number one, Chunlei to play male number two, but when all the conditions were agreed, the male number one was replaced by Xiao Peng. This decision made Chunlei's agent Hua Jie feel angry and resolutely refused to agree to the project.
Because, Ichiyama is a good actor, and the powerful Chunlei is willing to play a supporting role for him. However, Xiao Peng is a newcomer and a young man who has no works only relying on the variety show "Brother Who Cuts Thorns" to become popular, Chunlei is unwilling to give him a "car", which is a disgrace to his reputation and image, and it is not good to mix in the show business circle in the future.
If you must cooperate, you must write Chunlei's name in front of Xiao Peng's name, otherwise you will cooperate.
In addition, Hua Jie also said that if Xiao Peng is replaced by Qianxi, Haoran, and Huang Xuan, these young actors with strong works can cooperate, after all, they can be recognized by the audience and the market.
From this scene, it can also be seen that director Feng Xiaogang wants to express the meaning. Through the mouth of Sister Hua, he satirized two phenomena.
First, the actor has lost his original intention.
After having fame and fortune, the actors have long forgotten why they were filming in the first place, and what is the significance of filming? In order to win the position, he completely lost respect for art.
It is said that the role is no size, but some actors just care about these positions.
What caused a more serious disturbance was the dispute between Peng Yuchang and Wang Mainland, and both parties went down to defend their own interests.
As the star of the movie "Little Wish", Peng Yuchang clearly stated in the contract signed with Party A that it was a mistake, but after the movie was broadcast, his name was placed after Wang Continental's name. Therefore, Peng Yuchang was dissatisfied and immediately stopped cooperating with the filmmaker.
When Wang Mainland was scolded for "grabbing the fan", the audience knew that Wang Continent and Party A also signed it. That is to say, the film side is cheated at both ends.
From this incident, it can also be seen how much the actor values the position, and how mad Party A is for the sake of profit. This is a pathological development trend, and it is also the reason why Feng Xiaogang slammed it.
Second, traffic is the mainstay, supplemented by strength.
Xiao Peng, who became popular through the talent show, has no masterpiece and no strength, but can act a bit, and the rest of the powerful old actors do the matching for him. This really reflects the entertainment industry's emphasis on traffic and its disregard for strength.
Nowadays, variety shows have become the main entertainment programs, everyone can be on, everyone can be popular, the result is that these artists, whether they are popular by speculating cp to create topics, or because of their personality charm, will pour into the film and television drama market, as if acting is their "end".
The capital behind it just values this flow, as long as there is traffic, there is a market, and there is a market.
Therefore, this has also caused more and more bad dramas in the show business circle, and more and more artists who have no strength to rely only on variety shows. As a senior in the industry, Feng Xiaogang satirized this phenomenon through the mouth of Hua Jie.
Not only did Feng Xiaogang attack this phenomenon, but too many predecessors in the entertainment industry were also dissatisfied with this status quo. It's just that Feng Xiaogang expressed what he wanted to say through his works.
In addition to the popular high-value beauties and the fierce competition for positions, there are also disgusting and subversive flattery in the entertainment industry.
In the play, Huang Bo made a cameo appearance in a play, playing a well-known " Mr. Number" who loved to play big names and did not remember lines, and someone must give him a hint at the scene of filming. Although this role is outrageous, there is indeed this person in the entertainment industry.
Zeng Jinxing and many artists have attacked "Miss Digital", but they have not named who it is. The existence of "Miss Digital" is the "cancer" of the industry and the deformed development of the industry.
Wang Jinsong said that the line is the gun that the actor goes to the battlefield, and it is natural for the actor to memorize the line.
But even so, there is still the existence of "digital misses" in the entertainment industry, so Feng Xiaogang satirizes this phenomenon through Huang Bo's perspective.
In this scene, Feng Xiaogang mocked three phenomena.
First, the actor's big name.
The role played by Huang Bo is because of the large coffee position, so the last one to the set, neither with the opponent to play, nor personally step on the point, but by the staff to help stand dimming. All he needs to do is choose his favorite costume and sit in front of his opponent and say the line "12345".
When the director asked him to see the replay, his assistant immediately looked at the eyes and acted, refusing on the grounds of "lack of time" and not looking at the director at all.
Second, the director's voice is weak.
In front of the big names, the director did not dare to breathe heavily, for fear of provoking the other party. Even if the actor is acting with all kinds of provocations, all kinds of non-cooperation, and even the lines are not remembered, the director has nothing to say.
After the actor finished acting, he also had to flatter the thumbs up: good actor.
Third, the efforts of unknown actors are not valued.
Bao Xue played well and dedicatedly, flying from afar to temporarily save the scene without complaint, but he did not get praise during the filming process. The applause was given to the big-name artists, even if the other party did not do as well as himself.
Therefore, in the words of Jia Ling: a small actor, his life is really cheap.
These three phenomena do exist in the entertainment industry, and in the face of large-flow artists, directors have no right to speak, let alone dare to offend. Let the other party play a big card, let the other party fool around, you can only swallow your voice and bear it.
Feng Xiaogang is still Feng Xiaogang, the irony in the work is enjoyable, and only he dares to be so bold, completely do not treat the audience as outsiders, and shake out and ridicule these potential rules of the entertainment industry.
One is not accustomed to watching, the second is not to bear it, the third is not to spit unhappy, such a real shooting method, worthy of director Feng Da.
