Friends bar.
Adam's words made Joey retreat again.
The risks involved have always been Joey's biggest worry.
He hasn't forgotten the painful experience that he was suddenly killed when he played the role of a handsome doctor, and then couldn't find a job for a long time, and finally put down the "coffee position" and started from an unknown supporting role again.
That meeting.
Because the acting career was interrupted.
He even broke his medical insurance.
As a result, he had a hernia and couldn't bear the pain. However, because the operation at his own expense was too expensive, he did not dare to go to the hospital for treatment.
The sourness is unforgettable.
"Joy, you dream of becoming Al Pacino, is it for fame or for profit?"
Adam cared slightly about the last single dog in the circle of friends.
Emmm.
Although he was also recognized by Chandler and the others in the circle of friends, and is now single, Joey and the others did not count Adam when they talked about single dogs.
"I do not know either."
Joey said blankly, "Should have all."
"Ok."
Adam nodded and said: "Very honest, since you are pursuing your dreams in the showbiz for fame and fortune, then I am not optimistic about you taking the Al Pacino road."
"why?"
Joey said in surprise: "You may not know that Al Pacino is our predecessor idol in the entertainment industry. Many people have a lifelong dream of becoming the next Al Pacino."
"That's because the thinking is solidified."
Adam reminded: "You are Joey, not Al Pacino, are you? Besides, other people want to do this, why do you have to be like others? You are Joey Tribbiani, you should find one that suits you best. The way."
"The best way for me?"
Joey stunned: "Which way?"
"Of course it's the American drama road."
Adam smiled: "I know that in your circle, movie actors look down on TV actors. TV actors are very envious of movie actors and always feel inferior.
But is this really the case?
In terms of investment and production, movies far surpass TV dramas, and in a short period of time, the fame and fortune brought to film actors far exceeds TV dramas.
But you did not notice.
A hit American drama can be filmed forever, telling the characters and growth of the protagonists from various aspects. This is simply a vivid and legendary biography.
Can the length of the movie be achieved?
After ten or twenty years, the newly grown-up audience will watch the exquisitely produced movies of the year and only feel that the picture effects are too bad. Who is the main actor?
Check it, he was very popular back then, and then he threw it away with an oh.
Most of them don't even bother to investigate.
No matter how superb a movie actor's acting is, the aspect and dimension he can show are also severely limited by the plot and duration.
Sometimes, short is the original sin.
And what about the super-length and explosive classic American dramas?
One inch long and one inch strong!
The time is long enough, the plot is rich and real (taken from many hot events of the year), and after ten, twenty years, or even generation after generation, it will still be very attractive.
It is to serve as a historical teaching material, showing the characteristics of that era, and it is also a good video material.
The next generations can see three-dimensional characters in their minds, and they will even think that this is a person who has really lived.
Many people will be interested in following the stories of these people.
This kind of name is a movie star, okay? "
"Yeah, it seems to be."
Phoebe exclaimed: "So there are such benefits to filming TV series!"
"Then you need classic American dramas."
Joey shook his head.
"Do not."
Adam smiled and said: "Classic American dramas are not good enough, but classic sitcoms are best. Things like humor and funny things will fade out much more slowly.
Moreover, classic sitcoms are originally about the daily life of the protagonists, and they are particularly good at enriching the three-dimensional images of the characters from all angles.
This is a typical character-driven plot.
This is something other classic American dramas with plot-driven characters do not have.
I only said that the classic American dramas can give you a name far beyond the movies in a wider time perspective.
How about profit? "
"Li?"
Joey was stunned: "You wouldn't say that acting in classic American dramas can bring me far more revenue than movies? It's impossible!"
"Why is it impossible?"
Adam replied: "In the entertainment industry, fame and profit are bound, and being famous is advantageous. Acting in classic American dramas has brought you a wider fame in a wider period of time. Why can't it bring you wider profit? ?"
"but…"
Joey still felt something was wrong, which really broke his traditional thinking.
"How many aspects of your income?"
Adam asked.
"Remuneration, advertising, commercial performance, mainly these three."
Joey said.
"No, you forgot about the film and television surroundings."
Adam reminded: "What we are talking about now, all fame and fortune are centered around a classic American drama, this is the most important thing.
Remuneration, advertising, and commercial performances are all temporary. Only by closely surrounding the film and television of classic American dramas can you continue to provide you with generous income. "
"Around? Don't laugh, it's impossible."
Joey smiled: "This is the most important fat of the film and television company, how can it be distributed to the actors?"
"why not?"
Adam also laughed: "Imagine that a classic sitcom is on the air. All audiences will like those leading actors. After a few seasons, changing one person may cause protests. The ratings plummet. If you change two, it will be difficult to play. , But what if a few leading actors unite and force the film and television company to talk about peripheral division?"
"hiss!"
Joey took a sigh of relief: "In that case, either the filming will break up, or the film and television company will give in, and most of it will be the latter, because no one will have trouble with the interests. If all the leading actors are not played, the show will be straightforward. Yellow, the follow-up surroundings are just empty talk."
"But the premise is that several leading actors can unite together."
Chandler shook his head and said: "In this situation, the film and television companies are generally divided and disintegrated. Once one is moved, the rest must fall apart. Human nature is selfish and difficult!"
"This needs someone to be eye-catching."
Adam smiled and said: "Joy can tell everyone about it, and even reduce the salary to unite everyone. Believe me, the temporary salary reduction and the long-term annual peripheral division in the future are not worth mentioning.
A classic sitcom, the annual operating income of peripherals is something you can't imagine.
Joey, you fantasize about becoming Al Pacino. At first, it was estimated that you paid tens of millions for one of his films, right?
But once you follow this method, UU reading is tied to a classic sitcom, and even if you don’t work in the future, even if you don’t work, every year you will be divided into your surroundings, and those movie bigwigs that you admire will have a hard year. .
And still lie down and explode them every year.
That is the real winner in life! "
"impossible?"
Everyone looked over and was stunned.
"Trust me, that's right."
Adam smiled.
In the future, it is already twenty years later. Each of the six friends of Friends will receive 20 million U.S. dollars each year. Do you dare to imagine?
That meeting.
How does Al Pacino compare to Joy?
Who envy whom?
