who often watch foreign TV dramas should have noticed a problem, that is, in many European and American dramas, there are often very well-received works that can be shot for several seasons or even a dozen seasons, such as the classic American comedy " Life". Big Bang " has been filmed for 12 consecutive seasons so far, and the changes in the actors in each season are very small. Except for accidents, termination of contracts, etc., almost all of them are the original cast. A small part is like " love apartment ", "country love" and other TV series, but as long as it is a popular drama, it is basically difficult to be the original cast in the second season, such as " Qing Yu Nian ", "Chu Qiao" There are many reasons why domestic dramas can't keep the cast intact, and there are many reasons. The competition of foreign drama crews is more intense.
Take Hollywood in the United States as an example, as a well-known movie in the world Factory, Hollywood has never been short of excellent actors, and even many actors are very cheap, and Hollywood actors have a very clear division of labor, it is difficult for artists who star in TV series to cross-border to act in movies, so this also leads to competition in every industry. It is very intense. If an actor chooses to withdraw from the crew after a drama becomes popular, then the artist may have no drama to film for a long time. Even if there is a new drama, it is unpredictable whether it will explode or not. So there is no need to give up works that already have ratings After the completion, the director has already assembled the original cast. Will only watching this drama become a hit? If the ratings are okay, the crew will immediately start shooting the second part, and in most foreign countries, the screenwriter, producer Filmmakers tend to dominate, because they may be investors in the crew themselves, and will not arbitrarily change actors and plots because of the addition of capital, which is why the quality of foreign films has always been high. Friends of "The Apartment" should all know that in the first season of this show, the crew had no money at all, and the actors were all newcomers. After the TV series was broadcast, there were more and more sponsors, and the plot and actors' salaries were gradually increasing. , In fact, this shooting mode is a common method for most foreign crews, especially when shooting a new drama, because it is not sure whether the script will be popular, so the director will only invite less famous artists, with less investment and actor salary is also relatively low if the audience responds Well, the crew got together to give the actors higher salaries for the second film,
, which is also a comedy "The Big Bang Theory". The main actor's initial salary was only tens of thousands of dollars. Later, after more than ten seasons of filming, the salary also rose to 1 million per episode.
4. Contract issues
In the domestic film and television industry, signing a contract with an actor is just a play, but foreign film and television dramas focus on actors, so their contracts are also signed with actors, ranging from 1 year to as many as 5 years. During the period, no matter how famous the actors are, they can only continue to shoot with the crew, which is why foreign crews can keep the original cast. The screenwriter refused to participate in the shooting of the seventh season because he did not want to continue the performance. The screenwriter also followed the actor's idea and directly wrote Peggy to death. As a result, after the sixth season was broadcast, the crew accidentally discovered that Peggy's actor contract still has one more part. Years, there is no other way, Peggy can only "resurrection" again, and continue to shoot until the contract endsFor them, the lack of ratings means that there will be no sequels to this TV series, while mainland audiences are not. For most people, they don't pay attention to the quality of the film and only pay attention to the cast of the show. , especially the traffic stars, as long as the capital is successful in making stars, they will gain tens of millions of fans, and these fans will also pay for the idol's behavior, so whoever wins the actor, whoever makes money will be faster, anyway, the TV series is shot No matter how bad it is, there will be fans who will take over, so why pay attention to quality?
What do you think about this matter?
