Chapter 858 A few interesting things about the dinner
"hello!"
In a restaurant in Changsha, Hunan, Xie Na opened the door of the private room, held Zhang Jie's hand and walked in excitedly.
At the dining table, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, He Jiong, Long Danni and Hong Tao were sitting and chatting.
After the news about the road show in Zhejiang spread, many familiar and unfamiliar friends in the couple's circle contacted them, sending text messages or calling to ask if they needed help in promoting the show. It was free of charge.
There are many people who are popular, right and wrong. This saying only applies to the media market, where the media are either negative or flattering due to the popularity.
In private, as Huang Bo said, there are "good people" everywhere around him, not to mention that the couple has high resources and status, so there are even more "good people".
Regardless of whether these friends are sincere, or have the purpose of currying favor or making good friends, they reached out to avoid slapping each other in the face. The couple also politely declined to respond. The publicity matter is arranged and planned by the company, so there is no need to do this.
To owe a favor.
The response came to He Jiong. Although He Jiong was good at human relations and sophistication, his character was nothing to say. Based on the relationship between the two parties, which they had known each other for many years and had worked closely with each other, facing the warm greetings of this good friend, the couple just said
I didn’t hide my next stop, Changsha.
When he heard that the couple was coming to Changsha for a road show, He Jiong was as enthusiastic as ever and even asked for a meal to catch up on old times.
It was just a meal among friends, and the couple readily accepted the invitation. Today they took a bus from Wuzhen to Hangzhou, and then took a flight from Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport to Changsha Huanghua Airport. They went to the hotel to put their luggage and rest for a while, and then left during dinner time.
Came for an appointment.
"Sister Na, Brother Jie." Liu Yifei greeted.
"Sissi!" Xie Na hugged Liu Yifei happily. After sitting down, she expressed her gratitude to Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei: "Thank you both, I really appreciate it."
Zhang Jie also clasped his hands beside him and looked at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei with a grateful expression.
Chu Xuan cracked the melon seeds, shook his head indifferently and said: "Why are you so polite? It's Brother Jie who is very capable."
"That's right." Liu Yifei nodded in agreement.
After "Star You" was completed at the end of May, Zhou Jielun determined the direction of the adaptation of "Star", a super difficult song for male and female duets, and determined that Zhang Shaohan would sing the female voice, but there was no male singer yet.
Chu Xuan mentioned Zhang Jie, because deep in his memory, the domestic version of "Star" was sung by Zhang Jie, and he knew Xie Na, so he recommended Zhang Jie to Zhou Jielun.
But in the end, it is just a recommendation. What criteria should be used to select a male singer? Professionals do professional things, and it is Zhou Jielun who has the final say.
The couple did not know what happened during this period. They only received the result that it was confirmed that Zhang Jie was the male singer and Zhang Shaohan sang the song.
This happened last month. While the couple was still traveling, Xie Na and Zhang Jie called to thank them.
During this meeting in Changsha, Xie Na and Zhang Jie thanked them again. Both of them said it didn't matter, it was just a trivial matter.
What is a small matter for the couple is a big deal for Zhang Jie.
Whether it is a music variety show or an actor variety show, there is a drawback. Students who participate in the show and have achieved results can become popular for a while, but after a while they will no longer be successful.
There are many reasons for this result, one of the core reasons is that capital looks ugly.
Take "Super Girl" and "Fast Boy" as examples. If you want to enter the finals, you must sign an agreement. This agreement is to sign with Tianyu Media, a subsidiary of Mango Channel.
This is a good thing, but if the terms of this agreement are overbearing terms, it may not necessarily be a good thing.
However, Tianyu Media's agreement can be described as a "king clause" or a "slave" clause.
Faced with the "slave" clause, normal people will resist, feel disgusted, and resist, let alone a group of people with ideals and passion.
Therefore, some members of the 0731 Fast Boy Group who were in the same class as Zhang Jie, such as Chen Chusheng, Wang Yuexin and others, resolutely refused to fulfill the mandatory contract terms. Therefore, these popular people have disappeared from the music scene in recent years.
As Xie Na's boyfriend, under the protection of He Jiong and Xie Na, Zhang Jie is the only one who signed a normal contract 0731, but the result of the normal contract is that there are no resources.
Mango Channel and the capital behind it give you He Jiong and Xie Na face, but you can't violate the rules set by a group of capital. Even if Zhang Jie is your boyfriend, you can't harm the company's interests and give resources to Zhang Jie.
Because of this, although Zhang Jie is backed by Tianyu, he has very few resources, which is very different from Li Yuchun who normally fulfills the terms of the "slave" contract.
In addition, for a year or two on the Internet, Zhang Jie was compared to a "Phoenix Man" who relied on Xie Na to make ends meet, resulting in Zhang Jie's career being in a sluggish state.
To break this shackles, only Zhang Jie can demonstrate his own value, thereby activating the support regulations in the normal contract, allowing Tianyu to tilt its resources.
This is the difference between Zhang Jie and Chen Chusheng and others. The "slave" contract signed by Chen Chusheng and others has no room for free expression except the fulfillment of the terms. Once the contract is free, it will be a breach of contract.
Under the constraints of a normal contract, Zhang Jie has a certain amount of room for freedom of expression. He can hire people to produce songs, publish songs normally, or do external work. He only needs to hand over the vested profits to the company in accordance with the contract share ratio.
But without Tianyu's support, how could Zhang Jie get a big job? So this normal contract is bullshit. If you can rely on your own talents to gain momentum, then why do you need to sign with Tianyu?
Faced with such a situation, even if He Jiong and Xie Na helped, Zhang Jie has been in a depressed career state in recent years.
Therefore, the invitation to sing the episode of "Star You" gave Zhang Jie a great opportunity.
This is a drama about a couple, and with the blessing of Zhou Jielun's popularity, if the drama makes the song popular, then Zhang Jie will also become popular. That day, the entertainment media will pay attention to Zhang Jie and allocate resources, thus making Zhang Jie's music career have a positive impact.
Starting momentum.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He Jiong and Xie Na were also very happy for this. Although it is not clear why Zhou Jielun chose Zhang Jie, this drama is about Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, so
Naturally, they thought of the root cause and immediately expressed their gratitude to the couple.
When we met today, Xie Na expressed her gratitude and said with great enthusiasm: "Come on, I won't come back until I'm drunk today!"
Chu Xuan cleaned up a handful of melon seed shells, clapped his hands and patted away some residue on his hands, and said: "If you are happy, then you won't get drunk until you get home. We have to go to the road show tomorrow and we can't afford to accompany you."
"Yes, we have a road show tomorrow, so I won't accompany you this time." Liu Yifei said.
"Nana, I'll accompany you!" He Jiong was very supportive and agreed to understand Na's excitement.
Long Dan Ni smiled at this scene. She didn't say much on this topic because she felt embarrassed in her heart.
She and He Jiong are classmates and have a good relationship in private. They are also the presidents of Tianyu Media, but they can't help Zhang Jie. This is quite embarrassing.
But there is no way, she, the president, is just an agent, the real decision-makers are Mango TV and the capital invested in Tianyu.
As for the rules of the game set by the capital, if she, the acting president, wants to continue playing, she can only implement them. If she doesn't want to play, she can step down and replace her with someone else. This is the operating structure of the superstructure of the capital circle.
Just like Xinlang, it's good that Cao Guowei is the chairman, but Cao Guowei holds very few shares in Xinlang, and any decision must be made by the shareholders' meeting. This is equivalent to Cao Guowei being just the agent of Xinlang's shareholders' meeting.
From this point of view, one thing can be clearly understood: why did Xinlang reach a strategic cooperation with the newly established Bright Times?
There is only one reason. Bright Times is the third shareholder of Weiyu. Regarding the grand strategy of integrating Weiyu into the Xinlang system, Bright Times will also have a high say in Xinlang.
Cao Guowei took a fancy to this, and at the beginning of the establishment of Bright Era, he gave help in times of need. The main one was to have Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua on his side. Then Cao Guowei was equivalent to having the support of the third equity of Weiyu. Then Cao Guowei was the chairman of Xinlang
The position becomes more stable.
At first, she couldn't understand why an Internet giant as big as Xinlang would reach a strategic cooperation with a low-level entertainment company. However, after taking the position of president of Tianyu and figuring out the operation model of some high-level capital, she
Understand the reason.
Therefore, she is very envious of Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua. Their status in the entertainment industry has risen to the top. Not only can they have such high-end connections in the capital circle, but they can also take full control of their own company's development. This is perfect.
But opportunities are something she can't envy. Faced with the slightly embarrassing situation, she changed the subject and said: "When will your "Star You" be broadcast? The station has specially set aside a lot of promotional resources for you this year.
, I’m just waiting for your drama to kick off the most auspicious time of the year.”
These words praised "Star You" so much that the couple laughed and shook their heads. Chu Xuan said: "The post-production has not been completed yet. It is still early. Even if it is broadcast, it will be ranked after the movie."
Everyone nodded to show their understanding.
The movie of this couple will be released in October, and the TV series will only be broadcast after the movie is released. Otherwise, there will be no focus in publicity, which will create an adverse situation that will affect the publicity effect of each other.
"Consider a variety show?" After exaggerating an embarrassing topic with one topic, Long Danni returned to her main topic.
Today I met He Jiong on the road to Mango Terrace Park, and got the news from He Jiong that he was inviting the couple to a dinner. She took the initiative to come and join the dinner because of the variety show.
Although the Chinese style stage variety show is still a little far away now, if you happen to have the opportunity to meet this couple, you can come and talk about it in advance and you will have some psychological expectations.
The first season of "I Am an Actor" was a new variety show, and most of the participating students were not famous. It was precisely because of the existence of this young couple that the first few episodes of the show had good ratings, which led to the popularity of the show.
Greater ratings results will follow.
The Chinese style stage variety show is also a brand new variety show, so she wanted to follow the same example and let the two couples participate again to boost the popularity of the show.
Chu Xuan became interested, but did not respond to the topic. Instead, he said: "Sister Long, do you want to invite Hu Yanbin? Tell Hu Yanbin that Xixi and I will participate, as well as Zhou Jielun, Lin Junjie, and Cai Yilin?"
"
"How do you know!" Long Danni was surprised.
"We met Hu Yanbin at the Hangzhou Music Festival." Liu Yifei said, looking joking.
"Oh~" Long Danni understood and said: "Throw out a temptation first, and then work hard to complete it. Everything is for the sake of the show."
She added: "What's more, it's not that I can't invite you. You have such a good relationship with Zhou Jielun, and Zhou Jielun has a very good relationship with Cai Yilin and Lin Junjie. Please help invite Jielun next week, and then ask him to talk to Cai Yilin and Lin Junjie. How about that?"
Is it done?”
"Are we going to invite?" Chu Xuan waved his hand: "You think so, what does this have to do with us? You can play your own show, don't drag us into it."
"Why does it have nothing to do with you?" Long Danni was stunned for a moment, and said rationally: "We are cooperating, and Bright Times has investment, so why does it have nothing to do with it?"
"Then why are you looking for Brilliant Times? Why are you looking for me?" Chu Xuanyi spoke righteously, as if Brilliant Times was not his company.
"The Brilliant Era is not yours? If not you, who would we look for?" Long Danni blinked, a little stunned, unable to figure out Xuan's brain circuit.
Chu Xuan grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said slowly: "It's not about this. It's Star Culture that you are cooperating with, and it's not the Bright Times Media Corporation. If you want someone to help, then go to Wang Zhengyu. I only take care of the affairs of the headquarters.
, don’t care about the rest.”
Seeing his serious look, Long Danni looked like he couldn't laugh or cry.
This delay was just because he didn't want to help. It made it seem like Chu Xuan had nothing to do with Bright Times, but he made a lot of sense.
Starry Sky Culture, a subsidiary of Bright Times, produces variety shows. Tianyu Media also cooperates with Starry Sky Culture. The chairman of Starry Sky Culture is Wang Zhengyu. If you need any help, just go to Wang Zhengyu. Why go to him, Chu Xuan?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This sounds fine.
Liu Yifei, He Jiong, Xie Na, Zhang Jie and Hong Tao were also amused and it was intuitively interesting.
"Long Jie, don't have such thoughts." Chu Xuan said: "It is impossible to destroy the relationship between my friend and I and make us owe favors. Don't even think about it."
He Jiong was startled for a moment and looked at Long Danni: "Are you all so direct in your communication?"
Long Danni shook his head, as if he couldn't do anything to Chu Xuan, and said helplessly: "They were like this before. When recording "I Am an Actor", let them create some variety show effects for the show..."
She followed suit, waving her hands like Chu Xuan's disgust: "Don't try to ruin our image, let you pat us on the back, why are there so many demands?"
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed again and again, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also couldn't help laughing.
Xie Na was so happy that she pulled Liu Yifei down: "Is this how you record variety shows?"
Liu Yifei said: "The agreement we signed has been agreed upon. It cannot damage our image. We are not comedians, so we only go out to create variety shows."
He Jiong was so happy that he slapped his forehead, feeling full of fun.
That is to say, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei. If a celebrity who has signed an agreement is replaced in a variety show, if they do not follow the script of the show team, there will be some disputes.
Tianyu Media is indeed powerful, but it has to stumble when it comes to these two people. Who can do anything to them if they don't follow the script? The program team can only be mute and eat coptis, unable to tell the story of their suffering.
Long Danni and Hong Tao said that there was really nothing they could do against these two people.
It stands to reason that these two people are on the blacklist of variety shows and should be the ones least liked by variety shows on major TV stations. This is because these two people have the confidence and strength to not follow the script, and the program team does not dare to ask them harshly.
Do.
However, these two people are extremely popular. As long as these two people exist, the ratings are guaranteed.
If not, they didn't want to invite this couple when it came to the new variety show. They really couldn't control it, and they didn't dare to.
"Right now, the show has not revealed a single character, and it is still far away from recording. Let's talk about it then." Liu Yifei took a bottle of Wangzai milk and took a sip from the bottle and inserted the tube: "The element of national style was brought up by Zhou Jielun, so this is
It fits well with his music career, so as long as it doesn't conflict with schedules, I don't think he will refuse."
Long Danni and Hong Tao nodded: "Okay, we'll talk about it then."
Seeing that they had finished chatting about this topic, He Jiong took over the conversation: "Tell me about your movie. It became popular after just one road show. This has never happened before. Which theater can I watch it in Changsha? Can you count the tickets?
, let us see what a blockbuster is like.”
"Hey." Liu Yifei said playfully, took out some tickets from her bag and distributed them to everyone: "I just happened to bring the tickets, thank you friends for your support."
Each took a movie ticket and took a look. The location was the Bright Times Cinema in Changsha Wuyi Square. The viewing date would be around mid-August. Before then, the couple and the cast and crew would have to go on roadshows in various cities for promotion.
Ichiban.
"May Day Square." Xie Na said: "Seeing this, I thought of several micro-entertainment topics I saw today, saying that Changsha is gone, May Day Square is in ruins, and Zhangjiajie Tianmen Mountain is rising. What are these?
mean?"
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and smiled. These netizens who have watched the movie are really talented people to spark conversations.
In the movie, the city of Changsha was indeed destroyed. The May Day Square is the square where the hero breaks through the sky. The scene was taken from the real scene of the May Day Square and then processed with special effects.
Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie is one of the real scenes of the Mountain House. The scene of the Mountain House in the movie is very shocking and magnificent, so netizens talk about the rise of Tianmen Mountain.
"You'll know when you watch it. What's the point of spoiling it in advance?" Liu Yifei said.
Xie Na wanted to know but could not decipher the secret, so she jokingly had a little scuffle with Liu Yifei once or twice.
At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and then came in with the food, and everyone paused to communicate.
After the dishes were served, the couple's first day's gathering with friends in Changsha began.
They were eating leisurely, but the noise online was getting louder and louder.
In particular, the assertion of "leading a new field of film art" was widely reproduced by the media after the film critic Wei Wei published an article, which can arouse some "hate".
After a day of fermentation, news on such topics gradually spread in the industry.
Leading a new field?... When you say this, what do the major film companies and filmmakers in the entire industry think?
Some will be curious and watch and learn, but some will resist and dislike it from the bottom of their hearts.
Even if you have never seen the movie, saying such a big sentence will always make some arrogant people or young people disgusted, and even attract the attention of some "publicly known professors".
For a time, all kinds of ideas and calculations gathered towards the movie...
