This was something unimaginable in the past, but it had become the norm now. It had to be said that this was also something that made many people in the industry sad.
Director Fu Sheng also sighed. This was also why many television dramas liked to use popular actors. Although their acting skills were really bad, they had popularity, high commercial value, and backing.
In the past, many directors had to find ways to get investors when they wanted to film. They had to beg to pull in investments. Now, popular actors could directly bring in funds to join the production team.
It did sound like it could save the director a lot of effort, but the director had completely become a worker in the production team and lost control of the production team.
In the current era of bad movies, didn’t these directors know that they were filming bad movies? Many directors knew very well that the reason was that they were supposed to have the greatest say in the production team, but they had lost their power to make decisions.
In the past, it was the director who fired the actors. Now, it was the other way around. The actors could fire the directors without a word. Hence, many people simply took the money and ruined things together.
Of course, there were also directors like Director Fu Sheng and Director Sun Li who had a higher status in the industry. Moreover, they could pull in investments and did not rely on actors much. They could still protect their right to make decisions in the production team.
Fortunately, the only thing that comforted him was that the current television drama’s viewership ratings still needed actors like Wang Fan and Song Yun to maintain the viewership ratings. After all, although their popularity did not seem to be as high as Yu Han’s, they were more famous and popular.
Coupled with the reputation of their drama selection taste, many viewers were still willing to believe the two of them and choose to watch this television drama.
After the two of them sighed, the assistant asked, “Now that Yu Han’s traffic is so high, should we change our follow-up publicity plan?”
Director Fu Sheng knew what his assistant meant. He wanted to increase the publicity activities related to Yu Han and bring more popularity to the production team.
Although Director Fu Sheng was a little tempted, he still shook his head and rejected him.
“Do you think the publicity team is stupid? Didn’t they know to use Yu Han’s popularity at the beginning?” However, from the publicity plan that had been decided, it was obvious that Yu Han’s team did not want to be a free blood bag and let them suck blood as they pleased.
Although Yu Han lived on the trending searches every day, judging from her career plan after entering the industry, it was obvious that He Meng’s manager’s plan was not to let her be a pure popular artist. Hence, she would not watch them use Yu Han to hype things up.
Of course, the production team could also take advantage of the fact that Yu Han was a newcomer and get Yu Han to cooperate with them with the contract, but this was not a good deal.
Firstly, Yu Han’s background in the industry did not seem to be simple. Moreover, she was going to explode in the future, so no one was willing to be the bad person who offended her and became enemies with her.
Secondly, Director Fu Sheng admired Yu Han from the bottom of his heart. Whether it was her acting skills or temperament, they all showed that she had a promising future. He felt that as long as she continued acting steadily, there would be another capable actress in the industry.
Hence, he was unwilling to break a good seedling just like that.
The two of them were talking about Yu Han when He Meng called the next second.
Director Fu Sheng was a little surprised. The other party should not have the time to pay attention to him at this time.
After all, there were still so many fans to appease. Moreover, he knew from the news from his assistant that there should be many businessmen looking for Yu Han’s team. Hence, as Yu Han’s manager, He Meng should be so busy that her feet would not touch the ground. Why did she have the time to look for him?
Could it be that she wanted to postpone some of the publicity activities later? After all, participating in their production team’s publicity activities had no remuneration, but there was remuneration for participating in those commercial activities. With Yu Han’s current situation, her value would probably increase a lot. Even if it was just a commercial event, she would earn a lot.
Hence, it was quite normal in the industry for He Meng to suggest that Yu Han stopped participating in the follow-up publicity activities and reduced Yu Han’s publicity tasks.
However, if He Meng really made such a request, although Director Fu Sheng understood, he would definitely be a little unhappy.
However, the director had clearly underestimated He Meng and Yu Han’s characters. They would never go back on what they had agreed on. Moreover, although the studio was indeed short of money now, their goal was longer-term. Hence, they would not take advantage of Yu Han’s short-term popularity to crazily consume her potential.
The reason why He Meng made this call was because she found out from Xie Fang that the person who targeted Yu Han was the executive planner of the event, Wen Lin. That was why she looked for Director Fu Sheng..
