Chapter 18 Breaking Through the Wall
If it were someone else, facing the same pressure as Wang Xiaohao, they might have been suffering from insomnia every night and losing clumps of hair!
In other words, as a time traveler, Wang Xiaohao still had some confidence and was able to turn pressure into motivation!
Even after the unexpected explosion of Wolf Warrior in his previous life, the pressure of achieving results far exceeding expectations caused him to be unable to sleep for nights on end!
Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for people with poor psychological resilience to rely on medication to cope with stress.
Of course, Wang Xiaohao was not trying to excuse those who take the medication, but simply explaining the reasons behind this phenomenon.
As for Wang Xiaohao himself, he would definitely never touch these things!
These are all cases of people taking medication voluntarily; as for those who take it passively, that's even darker!
I'll spend a lot of money and resources to make you famous, but who knows if you'll turn your back on me after you become famous?
How about leaving a little testament to your loyalty?
The behind-the-scenes boss uses drugs to control those glamorous stars on stage. This was already a well-established practice in Hollywood in the last century!
Over the decades or even centuries, there's nothing new under the sun.
It's just that it's hidden deeper and hasn't been exposed yet!
Those who had connections to Hong Kong and Taiwan in their past lives, especially those involved in organized crime, were particularly fond of this kind of thing!
This is also why Wang Xiaohao instructed Ding Binbai to take him away while he was drunk before he went to meet the mastermind behind the scenes last time.
Wang Xiaohao wasn't afraid of things like bed photos or nude photos.
If we succeed in the future, we can still resolve this by incurring a small cost!
But if someone puts drugs on you, then it's all over!
Although the possibility is slim, we must still be on the safe side!
Besides, if they find you a minor, you'll be in deep trouble!
This industry is shady!
No one is as glamorous as you might imagine!
However, when it comes to interests, which industry isn't shady?
However, the most beautiful dreams are often created in such places!
And that's probably the charm of movies!
In his past life, Wang Xiaohao's favorite film was "Cinema Paradiso".
I watched it when I was very young, and at the time I only half understood it.
However, many places left him with indelible memories, such as the joy people felt watching movies in theaters.
Especially the excitement when they saw intimate scenes, and the whistling from the crowd.
The pure joy of creating dreams that movies bring is probably the biggest reason why Wang Xiaohao entered the industry without hesitation whenever he had the chance!
"This parallel world doesn't have 'Cinema Paradiso'!" Wang Xiaohao thought to himself, "I'll definitely find a way to make this movie before the end of this book!"
However, that would be a long time from now; we should wait until we've achieved success and fame before considering it.
Right now, the most important thing for Wang Xiaohao is to finish filming "My Sassy Girl" first!
He poured all his passion into the film, and that inspired everyone else on the crew.
It must be said that the performance of a team leader has the greatest impact on the state of the entire team!
After filming for more than ten days, Wang Xiaohao gradually went from being awkward to becoming skilled.
The rookies on the film crew also began to go from being completely overwhelmed to becoming more skilled.
Most importantly, under Wang Xiaohao's guidance, everyone's attention was focused on the important matter, which was making the movie.
When everyone does this, a peculiar atmosphere naturally spreads and affects everyone.
Including the actors in the show!
Even Wang Xiaoshuang became engrossed in the moment.
This made the filming of the entire movie much smoother.
Wang Xiaoshuang was, after all, just a television star, and the most despised idol drama star at that.
It was incredibly difficult for her to break into the film industry!
However, if you actually make a good movie, you'll be accepted into the film industry, and you might be noticed by other film directors and rise to become a movie star.
This would be incredibly attractive to any actress!
The entertainment industry has layers, like an onion, with many inner and outer rings.
Every circle has its "walls," and breaking through them is not so easy.
Regardless, the film industry is the most central and eye-catching circle in the entire entertainment industry.
Are there any circles in the film and television industry that are even more prestigious than the film industry?
Of course there are, they're in the stage play industry! And they're serious stage plays too.
However, such highbrow art is often appreciated by only a small group of people, and thus can only find enjoyment within a niche community.
The film industry, however, is part of the entertainment industry, a circle that achieves a balance between high prestige and popularity.
You might be even more popular in the television industry.
But when it comes to the prestige of the film industry, you're naturally inferior!
Therefore, all actors are racking their brains to get into the film industry!
Some people might think that I believe TV drama actors are no less talented than movie actors.
However, you may think it's useless, but people in the circle think it's useful!
Putting everything else aside, movies and television are different mediums!
How big are movie screens compared to TV screens?
Even the slightest expression on an actor's face can be clearly seen on the movie screen.
Furthermore, the plot is condensed into about ninety minutes, making every frame of the film contain countless pieces of information and emotions.
Every frame was carefully selected from countless sources!
Unlike television, which often has dozens of episodes, you don't really need to watch the actors' expressions; just watching their actions and listening to their lines is enough.
Even while working, you can listen to a few lines and basically know the whole story!
The information density and emotional density of the two sides are completely different things!
The standards for actors are also completely different.
A scene in a TV series can be completed with minimal alterations.
With the movie screen magnified so much, many viewers can sense if the emotions are not conveyed properly!
Therefore, every scene must be perfected, and the requirements for the actors are equally high.
So why don't many people feel the difference between movies and television?
Wang Xiaohao summarized the situation and concluded that it was due to Hong Kong films.
The aesthetic habits left over from the heyday of Hong Kong films in the 1980s and 90s.
Were Hong Kong movies good or bad back then?
Many of them are very beautiful!
What's particularly outstanding is its plot and pacing.
However, there is no doubt that most Hong Kong films are suspected of being poorly made.
Legends abound about things like "seven-day freshness" and "a movie made in seven days."
So much so that everyone has become accustomed to this kind of shoddy production, and feels that there is no difference between movies and television!
Many classic films from that era appear rough around the edges when viewed in retrospect.
This roughness isn't about the technical aspects, but rather that in many situations, the transitions between shots and plot twists are too abrupt and lack polish.
