Chapter 103 Plans and Changes

  "Papapapa~"

 In the office, Dong Xi and Jia Ling patted their bellies skillfully together after filling their stomachs.

Jia Ling ate 7 of these buns, while Dong Xi also finished 18 plus two heads of garlic.

 “This bun is a bit greasy~” Dong Xi, who had eaten and drank enough, began to find fault.

“Yeah, I think so.” Jia Ling also nodded in agreement.

“Don’t waste the two left, go and give them to Wang Baoqiang.” Dong Xi looked at the big snow-white buns on the table, feeling a little heartbroken.

It’s not that he is reluctant to part with it, but he doesn’t want to waste food.

 Taking advantage of his lunch break, Dong Xi got into the bed in the small cubicle and took a nap.

 “Brother~” Before he could close his eyes, he felt someone shaking him.

"Hmm?" Dong Xi squinted his eyes and looked at Jia Ling's round face.

 “Brother, it’s a meeting!”

 “Oh, help me up.”

By the time the two of them arrived at the conference room, Zhang Fang was already waiting there with the director team.

Seeing Dong Xi arriving, Zhang Fang simply nodded, while others stood up one after another.

 “Hello, boss!” Say hello loudly and vigorously together.

“Okay, sit down.” Dong Xi waved his hand and led Jia Ling to the middle seat.

After sitting down, he scanned the whole place. As the secretary, Jia Ling crossed her hands in front of her and stood blankly behind Dong Xi.

More like a bodyguard than a secretary.

“Sister Fang, tell me about the plan.” Dong Xi glanced at the people on the directing team and found a few familiar faces.

"Well, the direction of the script is like this..." Zhang Fang stood up, handed a complete script to Dong Xi, and then began to explain it himself.

 For this script, several new members of the directing team brainstormed together for two full months.

  After all, Shaobao focuses on suspense cases, and the origin of this case is a big problem.

However, this did not stump this group of energetic young people. They started from two aspects to make the story more watchable.

 The first is to change famous cases in history, and the second is to directly invite authors of suspense novels for manuscripts.

  In any case, through patching and patching, I managed to get together the 7 unit stories of the second part.

“What’s the main plot?” Dong Xi asked while flipping through the script.

Zhang Fang quickly explained: "The main plot is actually that Bao Zheng and his group went south to solve crimes along the Jiangnan road, and finally broke up a private salt case involving collusion between government and businessmen."

“Yes, we can shoot!” Looking at a few expectant looks, Dong Xi said calmly: “Get ready to form a crew. Sister Fang, you will be in charge.”

"yes!"

"marvelous."

 After receiving Dong Xi's affirmative reply, cheers rang out in the conference room, and Zhang Fang clenched her fists in excitement.

  After all, "Youngster Bao 2" will be the first TV series in her life where she has full control over filming.

 Finally, Zhang Fang couldn't help but be excited from being the second-in-command to the head of the family.

Dong Xi will only be responsible for the starring role and will not interfere in the crew's affairs unless he encounters some problems that Zhang Fang cannot solve.

 Delegating power to Zhang Fang was also a collective decision made by the company's senior management. The company needed a director who could stand behind Dong Xi and have the ability to direct independently.

 If a film and television company needs to develop and grow, it must not rely solely on director Dong Xi.

The budget for the second part will obviously increase. First of all, the salary of the leading actors cannot be maintained at the level of the first part. For example, the heroine Zeng Li only received 80,000 yuan in the first part.

This second part will be reprinted several times, and the salary of people like Wang Baoqiang will also be greatly increased.

 Because in this plot, Wang Baoqiang, who was knocked to the ground by Dong Xi, was forced into prison, and then he was pardoned by the little emperor and became a spy and bodyguard placed next to Bao Zheng.

 Simply put, this guy joined Bao Zheng’s small team and became the main supporting role.

Anyway, Dong Xi no longer has to worry about the formation of the crew. He only needs to play the role well.

 “Sister Fang.”

 At the end of the meeting, Dong Xi called Zhang Fang to stop.

"What's wrong?"

 “Give me some fighting scenes!” Dong Xi whispered to Zhang Fang.

 Zhang Fang:…………

Dong Xi has never concealed his desire for action dramas. He once wanted to film Shao Bao into "The Grandmaster Bao Qingtian".

 Compared to the company's new plan, the domestic release of "Burning" encountered some problems.

Dong Xi has returned from Venice for several days, and the release permit for "Burning" has still not been approved.

Logically speaking, this movie is popular enough to complete the procedures. In the current sluggish film market, it is expected to be a rescue film.

 But now it is stuck under the censorship of radio and television. Regarding this matter, Dong Xi directly approached Han Sanping. After all, he was also one of the producers of this drama.

“Third Master, what does the Radio and Television Yamen mean?” After three drinks in the private room, we finally got down to business.

 This is also a characteristic of the Chinese people. The ethnic group at the wine table is no joke.

“Tsk, Xizi can’t rush this matter.” Han Sanping was already prepared for this matter. He was a member of the system after all, so he still had these channels.

 “So?” Dong Xi refilled Han Sanping’s wine glass.

“Haha, you can see for yourself.” Han Sanping took out a document from the briefcase behind him and handed it to Dong Xi.

 【Guidance on the movie "Burning"】

 Taking the document, several large red letters came into view.

Dong Xi frowned and opened the file directly to read.

 Automatically filter out the nonsense in the article and quickly reach the end point in the last few lines.

 First of all, there are irregularities in some scenes in the movie, such as the dance of Xiao Taohong under the sunset.

 It can exist, but the length of three minutes is unacceptable. In addition, Duan Yihong's manual work is too frequent and needs to be covered up.

 Others are minor issues, but there is one thing that must be corrected, and that is the ending of the film.

Duan Yihong killed Pan Yueming, set him and the sports car on fire, and drove away from the scene in his pickup truck.

  It does not explain the final outcome of the protagonist.

This is inconsistent with relevant policies. Dong Xi needs to re-shoot a set of scenes to explain Duan Yihong's final outcome.

 And it can’t be a good ending!

 After reading this, Dong Xi handed the document to Sun Haiping who was standing aside, while he continued to communicate with Han Sanping.

“Third Master, what do you mean by this? Wouldn’t such a complete change make it a castrated version?”

"Xi Zi, stop complaining. The current environment is like this, but if you bear with it as long as possible, the wind will change next year!" Han Sanping took out a cigarette, and Dong Xi lit it for him with the discernment.

"What's the change?" Dong Xi took the opportunity to approach Han Sanping and asked. Even Sun Haiping, who was looking down at the documents, pricked up his ears.

 “Haha, I can’t reveal it~” Han Sanping smiled and shook his head, with an expression on his face that said I had a secret and I wouldn’t tell it.

Dong Xi looked at his shiny face and wanted to punch him in the face to see if he could stop pretending!

 A few days later, the "Burning" crew reunited and completed reshoots outdoors.

 Duan Yihong, whose hair had just grown out, was shortened by Dong Xi himself with a hair clipper.

 The newly edited version of "Burning" was quickly approved and a domestic publicity plan was launched.

 On September 28, "Burning" was the first to land in major domestic cities.

Posters with Duan Yihong as the main perspective are also plastered on buses and subways. It can be said that although it is a literary film, "Burning" is still promoted according to the standards of a commercial film.

  On September 29, the first-day box office was announced, with a box office of 3.8 million in 18 major cities across the country.
