When I arrived at the company at noon, there were still many people in the company.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone walked out of the conference room. There were only a few employees in the company. Only a few girls at the front desk were still there. The rest had already been taken to the hotel annual meeting by the bosses of their respective departments.
"Beauties, let's go." Wang Jinhua waved to a few girls, and left the company with Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and others first, while a few administrative staff took care of the aftermath.
There were a lot of people, and they were divided into two groups in front of the two elevator doors.
Li He pressed the down button outside the right elevator door, and heard Chu Xuan in front of the left elevator door ask: "Teacher Li, who are you planning to find as the director for these dramas? Have you decided yet?"
Li He looked at him to the left and said: "Mr. Cai's two dramas, director Li Guoli will direct "Xuanyuan Sword", and we will send director Zheng Xiaolong to direct "Bu Bu Jingxin" and "Zhu Xian 2" directed by Zhao Jian
, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" Kong Sheng, "Star You" is you, the last four dramas are currently in this arrangement, I told you in advance, there should be no changes, what, do you have any ideas? "
"No, it's pretty good." Chu Xuan shook his head and thought about himself.
Now Tang Ren Film and Television is controlled by Bright Times, with 80 million in funds, and the support of various departments behind the scenes of Bright Times, such as support from investment and advertising sponsors, channel support on the service road, and post-production manpower and material support
, publicity channels and TV station channel support, etc., Tangren Film and Television will expand its scale starting this year.
However, before the scale is completely expanded, the current scale of Tang Ren Film and Television can only sustain the production of one drama at a time. This is also the normal operation of most conventional film and television companies in the industry.
Therefore, among the two dramas "Xuanyuan Sword" and "Bu Bu Jingxin", Tang Ren Film and Television can only handle one this year, and the other one needs the help of Bright Times.
Li Guoli has filmed the "Sword and Fairy" series. As a veteran director of fairy tale dramas, it is safer to film the fairy tale drama "Xuanyuan Sword".
Zheng Xiaolong, who has experience in similar dramas with hit success in the palace-fighting costume drama "Bu Bu Jing Xin", is undoubtedly very suitable to film this drama.
There is no need to consider the choice of director for "Zhu Xian 2", just leave it to Zhao Jian. No one is more suitable than Zhao Jian, who has filmed "Zhu Xian 1".
As for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", this is a new type of drama, and no director dares to say how much experience he has in filming this kind of drama.
Within the group, there are experienced TV directors, including Yu Min and Kong Sheng after arrangements are made.
Li He handed this play to Kong Sheng. Maybe there was some worldliness in it, but after thinking about it, he agreed with Li He's arrangement. Not to mention that Kong Sheng was more suitable for this work than Yu Min, but Kong Sheng's own direction of the camera was also quite good.
Suitable for this work.
The core of most online novels is plot and character templates.
It is enough for the templated characters to highlight a character that impresses the readers. There is no need to describe the character in depth. The protagonist with only one character can launch plots one by one to complete the creation.
But "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is different. The core is the characters and the plot is templated.
The routine-style cycle of tomb robbing is a plot template framework. As the plot deepens, the complexity and mystery of each character, as well as the changes in the character's temperament after discovering and improving their understanding of their life experience, are the main factors supporting each plot.
In short, the difference between "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and most online novels is that in most online novels, the story is valid even if the protagonist's name is changed, but in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the story is not valid even if the protagonist's name is changed.
From a certain perspective, this is also the difference between Yu Min and Kong Sheng.
Yu Min's directing style is that of Zhang Jizhong. Zhang Jizhong is very good at selecting actors, but he does not delve into the diversity of actors. To put it nicely, he respects the original work, but in fact he is impatient to talk to the actors about the scene, so that he let him
The characters in a series of martial arts dramas are very stereotyped and lack a sense of reality.
Looking back at Kong Sheng, take "Legend of Red Flame" as an example. The lighting and shadow of the characters in the play, the ingenuity in serving the characters and the multi-angle lensing of the characters. Kong Sheng's directorial thinking on the multi-layered shaping of the characters, portrays each character.
It is very distinctive and full, and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" just needs his directorial ability.
It's just that for a brand-new play like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", it remains to be seen whether Kong Sheng can successfully produce it, but it is still more appropriate for him to choose Kong Sheng to film this work.
But there is one suggestion that I still have to mention: "As for "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp," when adapting the novel, it is recommended that the original author be invited to join the directing team."
Hearing Chu Xuan's suggestion, Li He smiled: "This is within my idea."
This work is very literary, and many plots and lines cannot be written without some literary and cultural background. If you want to do this work well, it is necessary to refer to the opinions and suggestions of the original author.
When this work was planned as this year's project, he had plans to ask the original author Tian Xia Ba Chang to join the screenwriting team.
Seeing that Li He had already made a plan, Chu Xuan said no more and walked into the open elevator door with the group of people.
Arriving at the underground parking lot, everyone got in their cars and went straight to the Shangri-La Hotel.
…
Since the establishment of Bright Times, this year is the fifth annual meeting.
Compared with the past, the number of people increases every year, but this is also in line with the normal development rules.
After the groupization last year, the scale has changed substantially. Today, there are so many people attending the annual meeting. The number of wine tables arranged is almost 100. The lively atmosphere also reveals the company's prosperous prospects.
Liu Xiaoli did not go to the company meeting. Instead, she came to the hotel early with her neighbors Hu Jun and his wife, Liu Jialing and Liang Chaowei and others. As soon as the couple entered the lobby, they saw them chatting happily.
After saying hello to them, the couple sat at the same table as Wang Jinhua and Han Sanping. At the wine table a few leaders' tables away, Su Chang, Jiang Xin, and Huang Bo waved to each other in great spirits.
I walked over, it was most comfortable to stay with my friends.
Huang Xuan, Zhao Liying, Chen He, Huang Bo, Su Chang, Jiang Xin, Hu Ge, Yuan Hong, Tang Yan, Liu Shishi, exactly ten people.
Originally a table for ten people, with the arrival of the couple, it became a table for twelve people. Two extra chairs had been prepared for the couple.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei didn't mind the crowd, so they sat side by side between Zhao Liying and Su Chang.
As soon as Chu Xuan sat down, Zhao Liying asked curiously: "Master, I heard that there are changes in this year's plan?"
Plans for the new year are usually made in one or two months at the end of the previous year. Once the plan is made, it will be mentioned to the artist's manager so that the artists can prepare in advance.
But a few days ago, they heard from their agent that the plan had changed, which made them somewhat curious.
"In "Zhu Xian 2", you and Huang Xuan are going to stage a sadomasochistic relationship again." Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows at Zhao Liying, her eyes full of interest.
Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying were both stunned. Has the second part of "Zhu Xian" started?
As the work that made them debut, the two of them are very fond of "Zhu Xian". When they first heard that there was going to be a sequel, they felt a little excited.
"What's the story? Didn't I die? Am I resurrected?" Zhao Liying was full of curiosity.
"You can watch it for yourselves in a while. You can't explain it in one or two sentences." Chu Xuan said: "A simple summary is that in the first part, Baguio is a love brain, and in the second part, Zhang Xiaofan has to go through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to save her.
Although Baguio is not a love-minded character, the direction of the story line is almost the same, it can be regarded as tit-for-tat."
"This is fun!" Su Chang cracked melon seeds and looked at Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying with everyone smiling.
Chu Xuan's simple summary aroused everyone's great interest in "Zhu Xian 2".
Huang Xuan peeled the peanuts and thought about it for a while. Although he didn't know the details, but from the superficial meaning of Chu Xuan's words, it should be the same feeling as Gui Li saved Baguio in the first movie, but it seemed that the second movie didn't save Baguio.
Baguio as the main line?
A good actor is like this. Hearing something will trigger his exploration of the play.
Zhao Liying held a lollipop in her mouth and looked Huang Xuan up and down: "Let me just say, it would be unreasonable for a beautiful woman like him to play Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio to pursue him. It would be very reasonable to reverse this matter.
, the screenwriting teacher is wise.”
Zhao Xiaodao's mouth was as sharp as ever, and he was even more rude to his acquaintances.
Huang Xuan had long been accustomed to her daily teasing, and turned a deaf ear to her words. He only looked at her lightly, and then went back to peeling peanuts to eat.
The relationship between these two people made Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei very interesting.
"Zhu Xian", "Struggle", "Eternal Dragon Sword", these two people have always been CPs, their acting lines are similar, but they don't have the sense of déjà vu as a "national couple", but are described by netizens as "happy enemies"
.
This is mainly related to the works. No matter which one of these three dramas it is, there will always be a character who intervenes in the emotional line of the two characters. This is very coincidental and wonderful.
Unlike their "Sword", "The Condor" and "Struggle", the emotional line is so pure that the audience's perception of the two people has moved in the direction of the national audience of different screen partners.
"What about us?" Jiang Xin was eating Bao Langweixian, and she took a bite of the twist-style potato chips and they were crunchy.
Liu Yifei took a package of Want Want senbei from the table. This snack in the Want Want gift package was her favorite, and the slightly salty taste suited her taste.
She opened the package, took one piece herself, and handed one to Chu Xuan: "Da Xinxin, you and Changchang have no arrangements for the time being. There are no roles suitable for you in the five dramas. Teacher Huang Bing will arrange external resources for you, don't worry.
"
Su Chang and Jiang Xin nodded, having a clear idea of this year's arrangements.
Chu Xuan bit into half of the senbei and said: "Jiang Xin, your concubine Hua is so popular. When will you buy a house? Then invite us to the new house for dinner."
Jiang Xin burst into smiles and felt deeply inside.
She had worked hard in the capital for many years and rented an apartment. After she met Su Chang in "Dragon", she had nothing to do and stayed at Su Chang's house.
After joining Bright Times and filming "Zhu Xian", Bright Times gave her a salary that was not exploited, and she finally had the money to rent a better house outside.
Later, "Struggle" and last year's "The Legend of Zhen Huan", she never dared to dream that she would be on the front line now. The commercial value of the endorsement arranged by the company would be as high as eight million in three years. In her eyes, this is
The sky-high price was simply unimaginable in the past.
Although she received a share from the company, the money she received made her feel as happy as a rich woman.
Buying a house in the capital was her original wish, and now she has indeed been able to fulfill it.
She was very grateful to Chu Xuan and her good sister Xixi, and said: "I will go to see the house after the new year. Then everyone can come to my new home to play."
"It's necessary." Liu Yifei took a small bite of the senbei.
The blessing in Liu Yifei's eyes, the gratitude in Jiang Xin's eyes, the two sisters just looked at each other and smiled, nothing was said.
Chu Xuan finished the senbei in one gulp and looked at Chen He: "Hey, Boss Wang's "Love Apartment" is a series of sitcoms. If the ratings are good after it is broadcast, he will continue the series and the company will not arrange it for the time being.
If you need your filming resources, just tell us and we can discuss them."
"Brother, I understand." Chen He said he understood.
When he signed the contract for "Love Apartment", Wang Yuan said that it was a series, and there was an implicit clause in the contract. When the sequel was about to be launched, the same actors needed to continue as long as there were no business problems such as remuneration.
Starring in the sequel is equivalent to a binding agreement.
This is also the reason why "Love Apartment" does not hire well-known actors. Under normal circumstances, no actors will sign such a contract.
Except that he was somewhat famous, Lou Yixiao and the others were all newcomers at the time, and they all needed opportunities. Once they signed, they signed, and there was no need to think about anything.
Moreover, signing this contract does not mean that you lose your freedom and cannot act in other film and television dramas. It just means that when the sequel to "Love Apartment" is launched, you must give priority to participating in this drama.
If this drama does well, then the main acting career of their creative cast group in the future will be on "Love Apartment". If it doesn't, then Wang Yuan will not make a sequel, and then this contract will be useless.
Therefore, he understood Chu Xuan's statement about not arranging internal drama booking resources for the time being. He would wait until "Love Apartment" is broadcast to see the results. Otherwise, if the resources are not guaranteed, he would run into problems related to the business aspects of "Love Apartment".
Schedule.
Chu Xuan looked at Hu Ge and the others and said, "Your respective dramas have been decided for a long time, so I won't say more."
Hu Ge, Yuan Hong, Tang Yan and Liu Shishi nodded. "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and "Xuan Yuan Sword" were decided last year. They were just waiting for the feedback from the broadcast of "Sword and Sword 3" and the second was waiting for Tang.
After Ren joined Bright Times to integrate resources, the two projects were launched this year.
"By the way, Lao Chu, Qian Qian." Yuan Hong called out, glanced at Liu Shishi and said, "Shishi and I will join "I Am an Actor 3" as assistants in the next year. Is there anything we should pay attention to?"
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were a little surprised. Yuan Hong and Liu Shishi became two assistants, one male and one female, in the third season of "I Am an Actor". They really didn't know about this.
Of course, as far as the group is concerned, this is just a trivial matter and has not yet been reported to the public. It is normal that they do not know about it.
In the first season of "I Am an Actor", as promoters and spokespersons of the show, they mainly used their popularity to make the show open up the market to a greater extent.
In the second season, the show has become an IP like "Supergirl". There is no need to rely too much on the popularity of stars to increase the commercial value of the show. The two assistants Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying are just pure assistants.
This year has reached the third season. Tang Ren has merged into Bright Era. The company has given this resource to Yuan Hong and Liu Shishi. It is estimated that they will be allowed to appear on the show to gain more exposure, which can also be regarded as giving Tang Ren a small chance.
Give it a gift.
From a friend's perspective, this resource that can last two to three months on Mango Channel is very good. It is also needed by Yuan Hong and Liu Shishi who are on the rise in their careers. The company provides this resource to them.
, they are also happy to agree.
"Just do your job as an assistant and don't interfere with the rest. This is the most stable thing." Zhao Liying gave guidance to the two of them as a senior.
Yuan Hong and Liu Shishi were understanding this sentence, but Hu Ge looked at Chu Xuan with strange eyes. Zhao Liying's words clearly revealed that there was something wrong with the program.
Hu Ge participated in the first season, and the overall feeling of the program for him was still very good, so he felt uncomfortable when he heard that there was something wrong in Zhao Liying's words.
Chu Xuan understood his eyes and said: "It's not the first season anymore. The sources of the contestants have also changed. They are all people promoted by capital. Bright Times is only responsible for production, and Xinlang and Tianyu are responsible for operations.
, the program will be completely commercialized.”
Hu Ge and everyone nodded slowly. Chu Xuan's words were not clear, but they could analyze the deep meaning.
Bright Times is only responsible for production. It doesn't care what rules the produced content operates according to. Mango Channel and Xinlang are responsible for the operation of the program. One is in charge of internal affairs and the other is in charge of external affairs.
And there are people behind each of the contestants who participate in the show. So what kind of water or tricks are there? If you think about it, you will know that there is not much fairness at all.
Yuan Hong and Liu Shishi looked at each other. It's not easy to be an assistant on this show. You might offend people with your casual words. No wonder Zhao Liying said that she should just do her job as an assistant. They both had some feelings about this.
A steelyard.
Hu Ge felt very emotional about this. It was a pity that such a good program ended up like this.
In his opinion, with Chu Xuan's character, he should hate certain situations hidden in the dark, but since Brilliant Era does not try to reverse certain situations in the show, there must be obstacles.
Xinlang Micro Entertainment is a close partner of Bright Times, and the communication between the two parties will definitely not be complicated.
Then, the problem lies with Tianyu and the Mango TV station behind Tianyu.
Sure enough, the TV station that controls the film and television broadcast outlet is the industry leader, and even a large media like Bright Times can only compromise.
However, the current online video seems to have an impact on TV stations, but I don’t know whether it can change the industry structure in which TV stations dominate.
Hu Ge was thinking about it on the side, but Chu Xuan called Huang Bo to interrupt his thoughts.
"Brother Bo." Chu Xuan looked at Huang Bo and said, "You will play with us this year."
The company has just started in the film field, and without a start, there are very few film resources that can be provided internally.
Huang Bo's main acting route is in the direction of movies. He and Liu Yifei have no way of arranging this aspect now. They can only wait for the development of Bright Times Pictures or the external resources of the agency.
Currently, the resource given to Huang Bo is the male costar of "My Star". Filming a drama is not as good as a movie in terms of honing his acting skills. However, with the current market situation, making a movie is not as good as a TV series in terms of increasing popularity. Huang Bo's filming of a drama
It’s also good to increase your popularity by a few levels.
"I started hanging out with you a few months after the new year. In the middle of the year..." Huang Bo said with some complacency: "Guan Yu asked me to play the male lead in his movie "Bullfighting"."
"Okay, Brother Bo." Liu Yifei's eyes lit up.
If I remember correctly, this is the first time that Huang Bo has received external resources since the internal project "Crazy" series, and he is also the leading actor in a movie. This is an earth-shaking change from the career environment of Huang Bo, who was still a bit player during his school days.
, she was happy for Huang Bo.
"Are you so awesome now?" Chu Xuan gave Huang Bo a hammer.
According to the original trajectory, this movie is the first time in Huang Bo's life that he won the Best Actor.
Now it seems that his butterfly has not changed this matter. It can only be said that God destined Huang Bo to have this fate.
In other words, Guan Yu only liked Huang Bo as the male protagonist in this movie, and no one could replace him.
"You're kidding~" Huang Bo shook his head proudly: "When I go out now, no matter what, two or three people will know me, okay, my brother is famous."
"Awesome." Chu Xuan was amused by him.
"When will "Star You" be launched?" Huang Bo asked.
"Let's see when Sissi and I can get away during the Chinese New Year. It would be best if we can turn on the computer before the Lantern Festival. Anyway, no matter how late it is, it will still be within the first lunar month." Chu Xuan said.
Huang Bo nodded and changed the topic: "Yes, you are going to set a wedding date during the Chinese New Year this year, right?"
Those of them who had been there on the night of Liu Yifei’s birthday proposal in August last year all knew about this situation.
Hearing Chu Xuan talk about the New Year period reminded Huang Bo of this incident.
As soon as this topic came up, all the friends focused their attention, igniting a strong desire for gossip.
Faced with everyone's gazes, Liu Yifei smiled and said nothing, took a portion of Langweixian to eat on her own, and let Chu Xuan deal with these people.
"Hey." Chu Xuan put his hand on Huang Bo's shoulder and asked, "What happened when you went to your sister-in-law's house to propose marriage?"
Huang Bo was already married, so he asked this experienced man about his experience.
"Me?" Huang Bo took a plum candy and put it in his mouth, saying: "Your sister-in-law is very talented, and I also have an artistic face. My father-in-law meant that it was a match made in heaven. Anyway, she won her easily."
."
"Pfft..." The friends couldn't help laughing, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also couldn't help laughing.
Some people are born with a sense of humor, like Huang Bo.
Look at what I said, it can only be described as art.
Huang Bo said to Chu Xuan: "We are the same. Your face and Qianqian's face are both a match made in heaven. What do you have to worry about coming to ask for a hand in marriage?"
Huang Bo glanced at Liu Yifei: "Furthermore, judging from Sissi's accomplishments, her parents must also be very knowledgeable. Anyone who is knowledgeable will find that you two are a perfect match. There is nothing to say. It's all about your death."
It’s done.”
Chu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is what you call the art of language. I'm willing to be your inferior."
He praised his appearance and also praised himself. He said that Liu Yifei's family was very connotative and also said that he was very connotative. He had heard many words praising others and praising himself, but this kind of superficial meaning did not come true if he didn't think about it carefully.
If you can't tell, this is simply a high-end graceful art presentation.
Liu Yifei held potato chips in one hand and covered her mouth with the other while smiling.
The friends also had a lot of fun and felt impressed by the charm of Huang Bo's language.
This Huang Bo is really amazing, his emotional intelligence is not only high, but also very high level.
There was laughter and laughter until 6:30 in the afternoon, when Wang Jinhua took the stage and delivered a speech, and then the lively dinner began.
"Friends, 2009 will be a happy and prosperous year." Liu Yifei raised her wine glass.
Chu Xuan and his friends stood up and clinked their wine glasses with each other in the middle of the air, and the party began.
