Chapter 131 The golden rooster that lays eggs 【Seeking monthly ticket】

While Xu Wenruo was about to pull the Starxun tiger skin, the second season of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" was on the air. Although this is just an online drama, the topic is far beyond that of an average large-scale TV series.

The playback trend of the second season is far beyond that of the first season. After all, it has accumulated fans for more than half a year, and as soon as the second season started, it firmly occupied the top spot of Xingxun Video's hot broadcasts.

This result made the executives of Xingxun Video very excited because they still have three seasons in their hands when they are such an online drama. Since it was produced at the same time, the quality was guaranteed, which means they don’t have to worry about the situation of a bad season in the next few seasons.

Because the second season was far beyond psychological expectations, Xingxun Video took the remaining three seasons as a treasure. It is said that it also held a special meeting to discuss whether it was necessary to change the playback time of the subsequent seasons. Xu Wenruo didn't know what the results were, but the suggestion he asked Qi Yue to convey had been submitted to the hands of several senior executives of Xingxun Video.

In a small conference room, three senior executives from Xingxun Video met here. In fact, a middle-aged man with a strong hairstyle read the documents in his hand, then looked up and asked the opinions of the two people next to him.

"You have finished reading the cooperation request sent by Fengqi Studio. Do you have any comments? Let the three of us get all the fun first."

"From this document, Fengqi Studio's intentions are already very obvious. They just want us to be responsible for the promotion and distribution tasks."

A middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle temperament replied, with a smile on his face and a faint light in his eyes.

"Fengqi Studio has a very harmonious relationship with us. Although they are just a small studio, the online dramas they have produced are still good. The current "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" series has brought us hundreds of millions of revenue, and this is still the case that the remaining three seasons have not been broadcasted."

Another executive with round face and small eyes spoke about the project he cooperated with Fengqi Studio. It is not difficult to see from his expression that the fat executive is very optimistic about Fengqi Studio. After all, the cooperation between the two has made a lot of money.

"The Fengqi Studio is mainly supported by Xu Wenruo alone. Young people are terrifying. It is rare to see such talented young people. Since we have established a relationship with him, we cannot easily destroy it, especially when we can already get so much profit from him."

The middle-aged man with a strong hairstyle spoke strongly. As soon as he spoke, the other two executives nodded silently. Judging from the relationship between the three, they should be mainly this middle-aged man.

"This young man is not simple. I dare say that this cooperation must have been initiated by him. When filming "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", he was a little resistant to our investment, but now he comes to him on his own initiative and must have something to ask for."

The round-faced executives have a lot of dealing with Fengqi Studio and have some understanding of Xu Wenruo, so they can see Xu Wenruo's intentions at a glance.

"There is a big gap between making a movie and making an online drama. For someone like Xu Wenruo who has no relationship or background, he can't handle it in theaters alone."

The executive wearing glasses was confident. He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, looking like he saw through them all.

"Yes, Xu Wenruo's intention is to help us solve the problem of theaters. So should we agree to him?"

"I think it's OK. Judging from the documents they submitted, this is a comedy with a low cost. Although Xu Wenruo has no experience in making a movie, it is not certain what kind of box office he can get in the end, but I think Xu Wenruo is worth investing in."

"Old Liu, do you still remember the report from Lao Wang at the headquarters conference a few months ago. Do you think he will be optimistic about Xu Wenruo's movie? You should know that the performance of the film branch has not been very good recently."

The senior executive surnamed Liu touched his head and showed a meaningful smile on his face.

"That's right. Even if we decide to invest, we have to transfer it to the film branch in the end. Now Lao Wang has to treat me to a meal. I have given him a big order, and maybe he can make a comeback at the end of the year."

"It's a pity that people who have entered the big screen will find it difficult to come back and shoot online dramas, but we must get the copyright of this movie."

"If Xu Wen had something to ask for us now, he wouldn't care about these things. We wouldn't take his copyright in vain. Anyway, if you invest more money, a small-cost comedy film will not lose money even if the box office is not high and it will be broadcast on the website later."

After a brief discussion, the three of them unified their opinions. They took the lead in the name of the video branch and conveyed Xu Wenruo's cooperation request to the film and television department. After that, Xingxun Video will not participate in the cooperation, and the investment money will be regarded as buying copyright.

......

After receiving the reply from Xingxun Video and Xingxun Pictures, Xu Wenruo began to prepare for the crew. I don’t know where Zhou Hong heard the wind from, but actually found Xu Wenruo during the break of recording the program.

"I heard that director Xiao Xu is preparing for a new film recently?"

"Yes, a small-cost comedy movie, I plan to try it out first."

Even though Xu Wenruo didn't know where Zhou Hong got the news, he did not hide it and directly informed Zhou Hong of the truth.

"Have the starring actor confirmed?"

"The two heroines have not been confirmed yet. How many director Zhou Hong would recommend for me?"

After knowing director Zhou Hong's intention, Xu Wenruo did not refuse. After all, he really didn't know the actress. If he really couldn't find it, Xu Wenruo would even let Qi Yue play a guest appearance, after all, his family saves money.

Xu Wenruo does not have high requirements for the heroine. As long as he can be quietly used as a vase, it doesn’t matter who it is. Anyway, the actresses who can enter the entertainment industry will not be too bad in appearance.

"Do you have any requirements for the character?"

“Beautiful and not pretentious.”

Zhou Hong looked at Xu Wenruo deeply, then nodded, indicating that she had understood, and Xu Wenruo didn't care too much, and he had to polish the script as soon as possible.

What surprised Xu Wenruo was that within a few days, Zhou Hong called him specifically and told him that the actor himself had arrived and asked him to see him.

Xu Wenruo came to the hotel room as promised. As for why he had to interview in the hotel, of course, it was not to discuss the script in the middle of the night, but people like Xu Wenruo who recorded programs everywhere often had to stay in the hotel.

Moreover, most of the rooms in this hotel were contracted by the program team to arrange some guests. Although these actors did not have much achievements or fame, they were definitely not ordinary people.

Of course, they won’t be crowded in a dormitory. This is the issue of treatment and status. If it really starts, it will be a very troublesome thing. Even if these people only step into the entertainment industry with half their feet, they are very arrogant.

Xu Wenruo knocked on the door and went in. A girl stood behind Zhou Hong. She was not very old, but she was dressed very maturely. She looked a little quiet. Xu Wenruo looked at her for a moment and then went into the living room with Director Zhou Hong.

"Director Xiao Xu, let me introduce you to you. This is Wei Ying. He was just a little girl at the beginning. I didn't expect that he had grown up in the past few years."

Zhou Hong touched Wei Ying's head, her eyes full of love. She did not deceive Xu Wenruo. Zhou Hong really liked these young actors very much.

"Hello, I'm Xu Wenruo."

"Hello, Director Xu, I've heard your song."

Xu Wenruo looked at Wei Ying seriously, and the little girl's eyes were dodging. Xu Wenruo smiled when she saw this, so she looked at Zhou Hong.

"Director Xiao Xu, Xiaoying's image does not meet your requirements."

"No problem, just one thing, the comedy I made may be a bit exaggerated, so you have to be mentally prepared in advance."

Xu Wenruo looked at Wei Ying again. She was startled by Xu Wenruo's serious eyes, and then immediately stood up to make a promise.

"No problem, Director Xu, I will definitely be able to finish the performance."

Xu Wenruo waved to her, signaling her to sit down first, and then looked at Zhou Hong next to her.

"Then it's decided. I'll ask the agent to contact you for the next thing. I'll go to sort out the script, so I won't stay for a long time."

"Thank you, Director Xiao Xu."

Xu Wenruo waved his hand and left gracefully. After Xu Wenruo left, Wei Ying suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She hugged Zhou Hong's shoulders, looking scared.

"Aunt Zhou, Director Xu looks so fierce."

"Director Xiao Xu is actually very good. Don't be fooled by his appearance."

......

In the next period of time, Xu Wenruo completed all the scripts of the movie while recording the program. In fact, the plot of a comedy movie is not complicated. Xu Wenruo mainly polished the lines. The expression of the comedy movie is not only in the actors, but also in a very critical matter.

It is not very difficult to make lines funny. You only need to spend a little more effort to think of more interesting lines. But how to vividly connect these interesting lines into the plot is very difficult.

Fortunately, Xu Wenruo has a mature video in his mind. He only needs to learn from the finished product and flexibly use the plot and baggage in it. After all, the actual situations of the two worlds are completely different, and some funny outbreaks may not work in this world at all.

There are also very interesting memes here that can be integrated into the script. What Xu Wenruo needs to do is to replace some jokes that have not appeared in reality without touching the overall plot, so that the whole movie will appear more natural.

This is not very difficult. Xu Wenruo took half a month to sort it out. At the same time, "I Am an Actor" also came to an end. The final actor was Ning Jun who was always very optimistic about Xu Wenruo. He has no shortage of appearance, no shortage of acting skills, but only lacks popularity.

This stage gave Ning Jun a lack of popularity, and Xu Wenruo also invited Ning Jun. Xu Wenruo actually had two male protagonists in this comedy, and it would be very suitable if Ning Jun came to play it.

Unfortunately, Ning Jun couldn't help himself. He is very popular now. The company has arranged several roles for him, basically all of whom are the protagonists. Not only is the investment much higher than the movie Xu Wenruo, but the cast is even stronger than the movie Xu Wenruo.

Even if Ning Jun hopes to participate in Xu Wenruo's movies, the company behind him will not let him take on Xu Wenruo's plays. Xu Wenruo can understand this. This is why he does not want to join a large company. If you become popular, it means you lose your freedom and will be arranged for a series of notices.

After Xu Wenruo recorded the last episode, he came to Langya directly. This time the filming was still carried out at Langya's film and television base.

However, the film and television base had changed a lot at the time. Due to the popularity of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", it has become a business card for the tourism industry in Langya City.

After the first season of "Grave Robbers" ended, before the second season was broadcast, this film and television base received a large number of tourists every day, especially some time before the second season began to broadcast, tourists in the entire film and television base began to experience explosive growth.

The highest number of tourists received on a day is as high as 20,000. Even though the film and television base is very large, it is a bit of useless to face tomb robbers from all over the country.

They were in groups of three or five, holding black donkey hooves, staring at various cemeteries and buildings in the base, and muttering words, as if they were about to sit in the bottom of the prison.

The terrifying traffic of the film and television base also surprised the officials of Langya City. They originally planned to treat the dead horse as a living horse, but they didn't expect to find a golden rooster that lays eggs.

The high-end villa area that had failed to develop had a state of no interest, but when the film and television base became a check-in place for internet celebrities, the housing prices in the villa area began to soar.

But this is still priceless, because no one sells it at all, and people who hold houses are not stupid. Even though they know that housing prices will soar, no one will choose to take action. You should know that with this terrifying customer flow, even if the houses in the villa are rented out as hotels, they can make a lot of money every month.

When Xu Wenruo arrived at the film and television base, he saw a very lively scene. From the Seven-Star Lu Palace in the first season to the Bronze Gate in the fifth season, it was crowded. The huge film and television base has become the most lively place in Langya City.

Various facilities around them also emerged like mushrooms after a rain. The official even planned to build a commercial street here. It is currently under construction and I believe it will appear in front of tourists soon.

Of course, Xu Wenruo also made a lot of preparations in advance. For example, after filming "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", he and the official Langya City applied for a large number of land again, and even took down a hill behind the base.
