Although the same actors, from an objective point of view, there should be no difference between them, but from a subjective point of view, the actors still have huge differences due to the size of the stage they show.

Actors have undergone a long development, and after entering the 1990s, they are basically film actors, TV actors, stage plays or drama actors.

Among them, due to the special and limitations of the stage, the influence of stage plays and drama actors is limited after all. Even long-lived repertoires such as "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Cats" that touring around the world are affected by the theater's space and performance. Due to the limitation of the number of shows, their influence cannot be compared with that of movies and TV. Therefore, the influence of stage plays or drama actors is naturally slightly inferior.

However, compared to movies and television, due to the particularity of stage plays and plays, the requirements for basic skills and acting skills of actors are higher, in other words, they are more professional. This is also the British academic school has always insisted on actors. Must go through the baptism of stage play or drama. Old drama bones like Helen Mirren (helen.) and Maggie Smith (.) are still active on stage plays even after they become famous. The same goes for Catherine Hepburn.

In addition to stage plays, the influence of TV and movies cannot be underestimated. Both the degree of spread and the depth of influence are the leaders in the entertainment industry. Among them, people generally refer to TVs as small screens and movies as large screens. This is not only the difference in size, but also the difference in influence, work effect, and attention level.

The difference in actor pay is part of the difference. There are only a handful of TV actors who can earn more than 500,000 in a single episode. Even in the distant 2014, there were no more than 20 TV actors who paid more than 500,000 in a single episode. This means that they have worked hard for the entire season, and in nearly nine months, no more than 20 actors have received 10 million U.S. dollars in pay.

This is far from the salary data of movie actors. In 2014, after deducting 20 million club members, almost second-line actors could get more than $8 million in salary, and their working hours were much longer than TV actors. short.

Of course, the more important thing is the influence of the work. TV series are subject to the length of the page and the length of the broadcast. Only a small group of people are willing to insist on watching the entire TV series in front of a small screen for a long time. In the entire history of TV series, episodes with an average ratings of more than 20 million can be regarded as rare.

If you simply calculate it with ten dollars a movie ticket, the number of movies with a box office of more than 200 million in North American film history has exceeded one hundred and fifty-this has not yet counted the overseas box office.

Not to mention the influence on the audience, the influence on the society, and the status in history, etc., the film can be said to be a comprehensive lead.

It is precisely because of this that stage plays, drama actors, and TV actors all want to be able to appear on the big screen and become film actors. This is like an "upgrade". Many film actors can no longer be mixed in the film industry and appear on the big screen. On the TV screen, it is often considered a kind of "degradation."

Of course, there are exceptions. After the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, many outstanding film actors are willing to appear in TV series-but not long-length TV series, but short stories, TV movies, mini-series, etc. , Because the leading TV stations are often able to launch high-quality drama series to attract top film actors to join.

However, this is only a few exceptions.

Now in 1995, it is almost a rare thing for a movie actor to appear on the TV screen. If a TV drama actor can succeed in the field of film, people will praise him for "finally breaking into the sky." So "Friends" sent an invitation to Hugo, which is almost an incredible thing, even after the first season of "Friends" was very popular.

Hugo is currently standing at the top of the pyramid in Hollywood. Almost everyone is paying attention to what Hugo’s next work will be. The major film companies have robbed their heads of this, and even major TV shows. In order to invite Hugo to attend all the means, now "Friends" is so boldly sending out the invitation, this can be said to be overwhelming.

That’s why Rick asked, "Are you willing to appear in a guest TV series?"

For many actors, this invitation is definitely not worth mentioning. Top superstars like Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger will not care about such an invitation at all. Of course, as "Friends" became more and more influential in the United States, more and more big-name celebrities were willing to make cameo appearances, but that was a later story. At this time, the second season of the episode was obviously still aired. Doesn't have such influence.

"Of course, why not?" Hugo's idea is very simple, not only because he likes the series of "Friends", but also because of the idea of ​​trying comedy. "But I don't care at all. "I thought Jennifer was just talking casually. I didn't expect that the crew really had this idea."

Rick heard the lightheartedness in Hugo’s words, but he hesitated, but after thinking about it, he still didn’t say what he thought, but simply nodded, “I know, I’ll do it now. Reply to the crew and see what role they assign to you."

Hugo laughed, "I hope it's not a simple and superficial role like a super handsome guy, you know." Hugo's words also made Rick laugh. Hugo's interest in comedy, Rick has always been I know.

"Don't worry, I also look forward to your comedy performance." Rick responded with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Rick couldn't help being silent. He needed to clarify his thoughts. This is not only the case of Fox in the 20th century, but also the case of "Friends".

The rise of "Friends" can be called a miracle. No one was optimistic about this work at the production stage, but under the ingenious operation of the brokerage company, it not only persuaded Warner Bros. to invest in the production, but also packaged and sold it. Created an excellent record of ratings on the TV screen.

The brokerage company behind this scene is the International Innovation Management Company. Nancy Josephson (.) single-handedly contributed to this project. From screenwriter to producer, from director to actor, all were selected and recommended by Nancy, and then Packed together to create "Friends".

Nancy Josephson is the daughter of Marvin Josephson. She was born as a lawyer and changed her job to an agent. She is also a midnight politician. After the change, international innovation management companies are emerging as brokers.

Although this is the case in the entertainment industry, there are no absolute enemies, only eternal interests, almost every company is like this, there is a conflict of interest part and there is a part of interest cooperation; but Hugo and International Innovation Management Corporation, Rick and International Innovation The management company is quite special.

Rick was originally worried that Hugo’s appearance in "Friends" would boost the arrogance of the International Innovation Management Company, and he did not know how the screenwriters under the International Innovation Management Company would write the script for Hugo, but this idea was just a flash. That's it.

Those who make big things do not stick to the trivial. Rick knows that his vision cannot be limited to that point of the festival, otherwise he will be no different from Marvin. If Endeavour’s elite brokerage company wants to make a fortune in Hollywood, how to suppress the enemy and how to deal with it Enemy cooperation is just as important, and this is a required course.

What's more, Rick also believes that it is really appropriate to use Hugo as a pioneer to test the current attitude of international innovation management companies. Because even the current three major Hollywood brokerage companies, they will not engage Hugo head-on. Everyone knows that Hugo’s performances are likely to be a guarantee of success. Endeavour elite brokerage companies are not yet capable of packaging production. In the case of a work, any position in Hugo's work is the focus of competition among others.

Therefore, Hugo's appearance in "Friends" is certainly not a problem. On the contrary, the attitude of international innovation management companies can be seen.

In addition, although the crew members of "Friends" are all international innovation management companies, the production company is Warner Bros., and the producers are also sent by Warner Bros. Rick remembered the "tornado" that Warner Bros. was preparing in the early stage, and the "four brothers (sleepers.

The former is a commercial blockbuster. Rick doesn’t think the script is suitable for Hugo, but it is quite suitable for Alex; the latter is Barry Levinson, who directed Hugo’s debut novel "The Diner", and Barry intentionally invited Hugo. , Kevin Bacon starred in I heard that Robert De Niro is also currently negotiating, Hugo should be interested in this work.

Therefore, at this time, Warner Bros. agreed to "Friends" inviting Hugo to appear as a guest. Rick felt that the meaning behind it was not so simple.

As for Hugo’s guest appearance in the TV series, Rick doesn’t care much. He also knows that Hugo is still in a buffer period, appearing in TV series-and it is still a comedy, not to mention Hugo also mentioned his friendship with Jennifer. All this is good for Hugo.

Moreover, Rick has absolute self-confidence. In the eyes of others, it is a "price drop". If Hugo does it, bad things will become good things. Rick started looking forward to Hugo's role in "Friends". He didn't know what kind of comedy performance Hugo would contribute, or what the effect of the finished product would be.

Thinking of this, Rick first called the producer of "Friends" and settled the matter in a few words, and waited for the script to be submitted by the crew. If the script is not too problematic, this guest appearance is basically a nailed-down-although not currently The contract was signed; then Rick called Ali Emmanuel, Tom Strickler, Karl Earl and others, and they needed to discuss in detail.

Rick also realized that recently, Hollywood seems to have started to wind up again.
