"What are you thinking about?"

"Well."

Xu Xin came back to his senses and saw Lao Lang and MIUMIU walking in hand in hand. He smiled and said hello:

"I'm back."

"I've been back for a while. I thought there was no one in this room, so I wanted to warm my hands... but then I realized you were here."

As Lang Lang spoke, he sat in front of a piano that was incompatible with the Chinese style of the tea room.

As for why this piano appears here...

That's the story of a younger brother playing havoc in his elder brother's villa.

Xu Miao basically doesn't live here. Even when he comes to Xi'an, he always stays with his father-in-law.

Or in other words, he may not even remember that he has a villa here.

During this period of time, my brothers are living here, and Lang Lang is a piano artist. Although the piano is not something that can be said to be sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, but at least you have to touch it for a while in two or three days.

This interval is the limit.

If his overseas fans knew about it, when he returned to China, he and his friends would either be playing real-person CS in the villa, or drinking and playing video games... He would definitely blow up Xu Miao's house.

But he is very playful.

Since the arrival of this soft bullet gun, MIUMIU has been the hostage of beautiful women four or five times.

At first, she thought she could get into director Xu's drama and show off some acting skills...but then she lost all her confidence due to the competitive state of this group of people who started at the 15th round at every turn.

From struggling on the chair with a decent backhand, to now when I am a hostage, I just sit on the sofa and check my phone, listening to my boyfriend searching for a place in the villa to be the boss.

She was already relieved.

But in the final analysis, piano is an art thing.

Xu Xin thought that this family really needed some artistic talent. It would be more normal than the four gentlemen lying on the floor every day, looking for bullets under the sofa, under the bed, or in any corner.

So, as soon as my mind got excited and without much thought, I asked Lao Lang to send the Steinway over.

Steinway is a small thing.

The promise they made is that no matter where Lang Lang is in the world and wants a Steinway, they can deliver it within 48 hours.

But I found out after it was delivered...

There is no place to put it in the villa.

It's not like there's no room, it's just... it's not suitable to put it anywhere.

In the end, Wang Sicong slapped his forehead:

"When we are drinking tea, wouldn't it be nice to let the old wolf play the piano for us? If he is in a good mood, give him a pot of tea. If he is in a bad mood, use the pot as a grenade to blow up 86 drops of his blood. Isn't this perfect?"

So, the piano was placed in the tea room.

Not to mention...

Really enjoyed it.

A world-famous piano artist is playing the piano there, and three people are sitting in front of the tea table chatting and bragging. The artistic conception... ordinary people can't really understand it.

The most important thing is... people support song requests!

Play the nunchucks on the piano, and after one set, the fingers of the player are numb and the face of the singer is red.

The front is tired, the back is angry.

Damn you, you're driving at double speed! Can my song be faster?

It seems like the door to a new world has opened~

"Ding ding dong dong..."

The soothing piano sound sounded again.

Playing with one hand and holding an iced coffee he didn't know where he bought in the other hand, Lang Lang looked at Xu Xin who waved his hand to reject the coffee handed over by his girlfriend and just continued to stare at his phone in a daze and asked:

"What's wrong with you? You've been looking so sad these past two days."

"I...sigh."

He sighed:

"It's the same thing I said yesterday. I'm thinking about how to do it in a way that has the best of both worlds..."

When Lang Lang heard it, he knew what he was talking about.

The thing about the new blood in Xiying Studio.

In other words, it is the matter of "growing against the version" in the words of some brothers.

Although I admire the artistic concept of director Tian Shuanghe, I also agree that movies are "not all about money."

But it is true that no matter in any era, going upstream is the most difficult thing to do.

Without mentioning anything else, just look at the current income of directors and you will know.

The "remuneration theory" or the "dividend theory" are things of the past.

Now it’s “remuneration + dividends”.

Although this precedent cannot be said to be initiated by Feng Xiaogang, he is definitely the one who carried it forward.

Starting from "A World Without Thieves", he launched a new way of income for directors.

After "A World Without Thieves" made tens of millions, basically all directors began to copy the gourd, imitating him, and said "I want as much salary as I want + as much box office dividends" as a cooperation method.

There is definitely nothing wrong with this approach.

He is a great director, so it is normal for him to take more.

What's more, Hollywood thinks so too.

We are learning from advanced international experience and integrating with international standards.

In the long run, there is actually nothing wrong with doing this.

But the problem is that the current market in China is far behind Hollywood.

Xiying Studio is not stingy either.

It doesn’t mean that they can’t provide salary + dividends.

It was only after Xu Xin jumped out of this circle and looked back that he could see the crux of the matter.

This "remuneration + dividend" approach is too easy to attract big capital to flood into the market. In the circle of directors or actors, everyone's income will probably increase.

Things are definitely good.

But for Xi Film Studio, which wants to attract more young people with artistic pursuits, while commercializing, it cannot forget the original intention of the film. Basically, it can be said that it is completely contrary to the approach.

It's not that they are weak.

But from the beginning, they were not as attractive as others.

They lack the capital to attract young directors to invest.

Because this is also a two-way choice.

Young directors have artistic dreams and want to make their own contributions to film art.

The factory provides them with this platform to realize their dreams.

This is a serious industrial chain cycle.

But first the factory must promote itself.

Attract others to invest.

But the situation that everyone is facing now is that if the attraction is not great, then there will be very few places to visit. If the attraction is great enough, it will attract not only those fireflies, but also endless moths and mosquitoes.

How to choose among these is what Xu Xin has a headache about.

Say something very heartbreaking.

He accounts for the majority of the factory's revenue.

And the money he earns must be in the hope that good steel will be used on the blade.

Would you allow a stranger to waste your hard-earned money?

That's the truth.

Logically speaking, this matter does not need to worry him, it is a matter within the factory. Even the money in the factory belongs to the factory...

But the nature of the matter is not of this nature.

It doesn’t matter whether he is worrying in vain or he is worrying blindly.

He is now thinking about how to make this industry form a positive cycle.

That is: "talented directors (being discovered) - Xiying Film Studio connects with them (discussing cooperation) - launching good works (attracting more people)" This set of circular links has been completely established.
