Disaster Artist

Chapter 765: Industry taboo

In the film industry, there is such an interesting phenomenon:

There are countless situations where a spark of love germinates because of working together on a work, and then a stable relationship is established or even entered the palace of marriage.

After all, for actors and directors, this is their job and their life, and it is really normal and common to see sparks in the close collaboration between filming works.

However, once a relationship is established or a marriage agreement is signed, the couple or couple will rarely collaborate on the same work again.

The behind-the-scenes relationship is not counted. Producers and directors, producers and actors, screenwriters and actors, lighting engineers and sound engineers, photographers and lighting engineers, etc., behind-the-scenes relationships are still very common; "Screen lovers" are very rare, even extinct.

Kind of weird, right?

Why is this?

The reason is very complicated and not simple.

First, for the couples/couples themselves, they have been together day and night. Naturally, it is necessary to avoid cooperation at work as much as possible. Otherwise, private affairs and public affairs will be mixed together, and quarrels will be inevitable. This has many similarities with office romance.

Second, for movie projects, couples/couples may steal the light of the movie itself. Although the publicity effect is good, there are many problems in specific cooperation:

For example, the distribution of remuneration, such as the proportion of scenes, such as role positioning, such as the shooting of certain violent or revealing scenes... and so on.

Some people may not mind, some people may mind, some people say they don't mind but they really do mind, some people clearly hand over public and private to the agent, some people quarrel regardless of public and private and bring their personal emotions into the set. Filming, some people are unprofessional indulging in falling in love and delay the filming progress.

Third, and most importantly, business ability, couples and couples, does not mean that the image, ability and charm of two people are on the same level.

A lot of times there will be such a situation, kissing me in the movie, in reality, such a sense of separation, it is more likely to cause conflicts between the acting partners.

All kinds, all kinds.

Of course, the complicated reasons are simply summarized into one sentence, that is, to avoid the separation of public and private, so couples and couples often avoid suspicion.

In any case, after couples and couples have established their relationship, they rarely continue to cooperate on projects—

The objective still exists, but the proportion is really not large.

And in this, if the couple/couple came together because of the cooperation of a work, and the work was hit on the street, then this is even more so.

For the film company, whether it is superstition or experience, they believe that since the moment of "the most intense and wonderful chemical reaction" has not been able to save the work and make the audience buy it, then the relationship is determined. After that, there is no need for cooperation.

Most of the time, the film company is willing to give the actors one or two chances. If a work is screwed up, there is often a chance for the salted fish to turn around; but the film company refuses to give couples/couple partners more opportunities, and one time it is ruined. , then the high probability event will never have a second time—

In other words, the breakup/divorce comes before the second chance comes.

After all, this is Vanity Fair, and marriages are likely to be more fragile than couples.

Therefore, it is conceivable that Reynolds and Li Jianan, after "Green Lantern", were at the top of the list of "prohibited cooperation" by film companies for a long, long time.

More importantly, calm down a little and make a rational and objective judgment.

Regardless of Renault or Li Jianan, they are both in a position that fluctuates back and forth between the second and third tiers. In the industry, resources are not overflowing to the extent that they are overflowing. Let alone cooperation, even their own work projects require brokers. Discuss back and forth to be sure.

Opportunities for cooperation are even slimmer.

In recent years, Li Jianan has been flourishing in the field of fashion, magazine covers, brand endorsements, fashion shows, etc., the invitation activities are softly received, and the update frequency of TV and film works is far behind her extensive influence in the fashion industry. , but the wonderful thing is that no fashion brand has ever invited Reno to join Li Jianan-

Even Reno is a charismatic guy.

Look, this is the status quo.

Now, Lu Qian put forward the idea of ​​Li Jianan playing the leading role of "Deadpool" heroine Salsa, not to mention Reno, even Ji Xu almost dislocated his jaw.

Renault only felt a tingling in his scalp, and he couldn't tell whether he was excited or flustered, whether he liked it or hated it?

There was a mess in my mind.

But Renault was Renault after all. After hesitating for a while, he said it directly.

"Director, are you sure?"

"The 'Green Lantern' that I cooperated with Canaan is notorious in the industry and has been listed as a banned film by the streamer film industry."

"Now, this movie has officially replaced 'Mandarin Duck Kidnappers' as the top ten bad movies of Lanchuan couples. Even Jianan and I can't watch it again."

Hahaha!

Both Ji Xu and Lu Qian were amused by Renault's self-pitying, ruthless, really too ruthless.

It is not entirely groundless why the film industry keeps couples and couples at a distance, because there are quite a few tragic cases.

About fourteen years ago, UU reading www.uukanshu. com Zhang Benqing—

Yes, it is Zhang Benqing, the young master with facial paralysis.

At that time, Zhang Benqing and the pop singer Jenny Hua fell in love, and weeping in shock, because these two people are representatives who are particularly able to "work" and toss. Follow along to make trouble together, and create "burst points" in public places every three to five.

Even the paparazzi "don't want to take pictures anymore", crying and crying, hoping that the two will break up soon, they really don't want to take pictures anymore.

From here, it can be imagined how annoying this couple is, so that the two broke up and the whole network applauded. Such a scene is also rare.

At the peak of their love, they collaborated on a movie, "The Kidnappers", which was rotten to a new level. Not only did the script fall into disrepair, but the two were embarrassed, pretentious, greasy and narcissistic. The performance can also be called a "cult", and even comparing it with a high school report performance is an insult to the level of high school students.

"Mandarin Duck Kidnappers" has always been the representative of bad films, and it has become a stain on the careers of Zhang Benqing and Jennifer.

However, the "Green Lantern Police" is taking the place of "Mandarin Duck Kidnappers".

To be honest, "Green Lantern" is actually not that bad, and Reynolds and Li Jianan are not that bad, but the problem is that the film lost money to the street, and even the rich and powerful streamer film industry took a breath of air, which made the film. become a taboo.

No wonder Renault's scalp was tingling.

"So, director, are you really going to be a warrior? Are you sure our movie will be okay?"

"Wait, or did you inject caffeine into your veins by mistake today? Are you in a state of insanity?"
