The business scope of Xiaohongma Studio includes novels, music, agents, and film and television. Currently, in addition to novels, other businesses are being developed. Zhang Tan intends to hand over the operation of "Zhu Xian" to the studio so that these functions can also be run.
.
Currently, each business area of the studio has a person in charge, except for the novel area, the person in charge has not yet been determined.
Zhang Tan thought about it and fell in love with Qiao Rong, his editor at the publishing house.
Qiao Rong is Zhang Tan's editor and is responsible for his publishing of novels such as "The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth". The two of them know each other well, and Zhang Tan knows something about his abilities and recognizes him very much.
He asked Qiao Rong to have a meal once and expressed his intention to come. Qiao Rong agreed after a day of consideration and joined Little Red Horse Studio to be responsible for the novel business and would soon start the operation of "Zhu Xian".
When Zhang Tan told him and other people in the studio "Zhu Xian", everyone was shocked. They didn't understand why he chose an online platform to publish his book, and he actually wrote a fairy tale novel. This was completely different from Boss Zhang's previous style.
Same.
It used to be a realistic novel like "The Hidden Corner". When did your imagination suddenly become so wild?
The first project of his new job, Qiao Rong did not take it lightly. He carefully read the serialized part of "Zhu Xian" and discussed the follow-up plot with Zhang Tan. He had a general understanding of the story and then applied.
In two days, he would use this time to make a detailed promotion plan for "Zhu Xian".
While Zhang Tan was working on "Zhu Xian", he also did not forget to prepare for the drama "My Love from the Star".
It’s impossible to forget. Ku Cheng asked about the progress every day.
He is particularly interested in this drama.
It’s no wonder that he didn’t take it seriously. It’s really a huge investment. It’s the first drama after the company went public, so it’s of great significance.
After Zhang Tan arrived at the company, the first thing he did was to report to him on the progress of the project, and then he got down to business.
"How is the casting going?" Zhang Tan asked director Chen Weiliang.
Chen Weiliang recommended himself to Zhang Tan. After chatting with him and considering his past achievements, Zhang Tan felt that he was a good fit.
Chen Weiliang is a well-known director in the industry. After Zhang Tan made the initial decision, he took him to meet with Ku Cheng. Ku Cheng talked with him in person and approved the job before he was officially hired as director.
The current project being carried out is casting. Chen Weiliang has his own connections in the entertainment industry. After discussing the goals with Zhang Tan, he used his connections to contact these actors and discuss cooperation.
"Several important supporting roles have been selected, and they are all our first plan." Chen Weiliang said.
He and Zhang Tan made a list of the roles in the play, which detailed the suitable actors for each role. There were candidates A and B. Candidate A would be invited first. If not, then candidate B would be chosen.
Now Chen Weiliang said that these supporting roles have all won the A selection.
It was also the first time that Chen Weiliang was so relaxed. He basically mentioned the performance to the other party. When everyone heard that this project was directed by him, if there were some who were reluctant due to schedule and other reasons, and then heard that the screenwriter was Zhang Tan, they were basically happy.
The ground agreed.
Zhang Tan looked at the list and thought of Lin Dong. He searched through the list but didn't see it. He couldn't help but ask: "Is the list of all the actors here?"
Chen Weiliang said that the main thing is here.
Zhang Tan said: "Do you have them all? Let me take a look."
Chen Weiliang was stunned, and immediately asked someone to call out the entire list.
Zhang Tan was worried that he was overthinking it, so he explained: "I have a friend. I heard from him a few days ago that he also wanted to try it. I don't know if he has succeeded in the interview."
Chen Weiliang smiled and said: "Please tell me so I can pay close attention to it."
Zhang Tan shook his head: "I just want to see how good he is."
The detailed list was taken out, and Zhang Tan saw Lin Dong's name in it. He was just a small character, covering two or three episodes.
Chen Weiliang asked: "Is there any?"
Zhang Tan smiled and said, "Yes."
"Which one?"
Zhang Tan thought for a while and pointed it out to him.
The two have talked about the female lead, but they haven't decided yet.
Chen Weiliang smiled bitterly and said: "Xu Biling is too difficult. I found her through connections, inquired about her interest, and declined. You only have A candidate for the heroine in your list, and there is no alternative plan, so I haven't contacted anyone else yet. Otherwise,
Shall we discuss an alternative?"
Zhang Tan asked: "Do you also think Xu Biling is impossible?"
Chen Weiliang said: "She doesn't act in TV dramas. You know her part."
Zhang Tan: "How about we find a time to visit her at home to show our sincerity. If she is still unwilling, then forget it."
Chen Weiliang said: "That's okay..."
When Zhang Tan returned to Little Red Horse, the studio had not finished get off work yet. He saw Lin Dong and said congratulations.
Lin Dong was very happy, thanked Boss Zhang for the opportunity, and then hesitantly said that he might have to resign.
"Because of filming?" Zhang Tan asked, guessing it.
Lin Dong: "Yes, I can't take care of both ends, so... I'm sorry, boss."
Zhang Tan said: "It's okay. Don't resign yet. The position will be reserved for you. Let others do the work first. You can go to filming with peace of mind."
"this……"
Lin Dong was grateful, but flattered, and then Zhang Tan's next words left him wondering what to say.
"Your role is only for two episodes, Ka Ka will be gone in a few days, so don't delay things."
Lin Dong: "..."
After Zhang Tan left, everyone gathered around and asked how Lin Dong was doing and whether he was really resigning.
Xu Qian is very envious of Lin Dong. He has realized his dream, but she still has to work hard. These days, the young woman Li is recording a song, "As Long as Ordinary" in the studio, and she is in charge of the recording work.
Zhang Tan appeared in the yard and saw Shi Baobao had arrived. He stood behind Lao Li and gave him a pat on the back.
This old man really knows how to enjoy himself, even using child labor!
Shi Baobao's mother was recording songs in the studio, so Shi Baobao came with her these days.
Lao Li can also control Shi Baobao, but if he changes it to Liuliu Dudu or something like that, who can listen to him? Even if they are willing to give him a beating, he would not dare. What if they beat him and become a high-level paraplegic?
Of course, Lao Li's enjoyment was not in vain. He was telling stories to Shi Baobao, and both of them got what they needed.
Zhang Tan did not disturb the grandfather and grandson, and walked through the yard and returned home.
"What are you doing?" He saw Xiaobai lying on the floor drawing.
When Xiaobai saw Zhang Tan coming back, she immediately got up and said irritably that she was so annoyed that she was about to burst into flames.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Tan looked at the paintings on the floor. They were smiling penguins. "This is interesting."
Little Bai Balabala said irritably that the kindergarten had assigned her homework and asked them to be penguins.
It's about making penguins, not drawing penguins.
Xiaobai was confused, so she came back and asked her grandma. Grandma gave her an idea, saying to draw it first, then cut it out and make it into a penguin.
She is drawing penguins now, but she just wants to play and not work, so she is irritable.
Zhang Tan put down his bag, rolled up his shirt sleeves and said, "Well, how about we come together? I'll accompany you and we'll complete this assignment together. Let me tell you, this is actually very fun..."
With the participation of Zhang Tan, Xiaobai finally felt a lot more settled. She was responsible for drawing, and Zhang Tan was responsible for cutting out the drawn penguins. In the end, the two of them worked together to paste them together, and the smiling penguins were successful.
Zhang Tan looked at the group of penguins and asked doubtfully: "Why do these penguins smile so weirdly? Xiaobai, do you have any deep meaning?"
Xiaobai was also looking at it, laughing awkwardly, saying that it was Zhang Tan who cut the monster, not her drawing.
