The National Day party is over, and the related discussions are actually not that lively.
But the only difference is that the song "My Motherland and Me" sung by Sha Yetong at the party became a hit as a new song.
This is also the most outstanding one among the few new songs at the National Day Party.
In addition to the active discussions among netizens, a bunch of official media have also begun to use this song as the background music for their National Day videos.
Even a bunch of mixed-up editors on the G station have used this song.
In just three days, after hearing this song, many people were even able to hum a few lines along with it.
"Xu Ji is still Xu Ji, no matter what the theme of the song is, he can maintain the quality."
"I didn't watch the National Day Gala. I heard it for the first time on the campus radio today. I quite liked it."
"With this song, it is estimated that when inviting singers to many official evening parties in the future, Sha Yetong will be the first one chosen."
"Although it is not as passionate as other patriotic songs, this song makes people feel the deep love for the motherland."
"I played this song to my grandpa, and his eyes turned red when he listened to it. Now he asks me to play this song at home every day."
"I saw some people saying that Xu Ji wrote this kind of song specifically for the party, but I think Xu Ji's emotion in writing this song came from his heart. If it was just to complete a task, it would be impossible.
You can write such a song."
......
There are many discussions on the Internet about Xu Ji writing the song "My Motherland and Me".
Not only ordinary netizens, but also many music critics have joined in.
If in the past, some songwriters had written patriotic songs, music critics would have thought that they were creating with a purpose, so most of the time songs with this theme would not be rated highly even by songwriters. But this time when I came to Xu Ji's place, the music critics changed their usual attitude and gave unanimous praise.
This also proves that no matter what the theme of the song is, the quality of the song is the most critical.
......
At the same time, after the National Day in October, only the last small part of the script written by Xu Ji was left, as well as the final revisions and improvements.
However, due to the later special effects production of "Legend of Sword and Fairy II", Xu Ji needs to go to Honghu Studio to carry out related docking work.
The script can only be put on hold for a day or two.
After all, Xu Ji wouldn’t be at ease if he didn’t follow up.
Although Honghu's special effects technology is absolutely fine, the final effect of the film still has to be based on his own ideas, and Xu Jicai feels it is the safest.
......
Although it is the National Day holiday in Mountain Studio, after a simple three-day holiday, the employees of the studio returned to work as normal.
In fact, although the three-day holiday may not seem long, compared with other special effects companies in Yuanda Science and Technology Park in Star City, it is already very good.
For most companies or studios that have business, there is no such thing as a holiday.
After everyone follows up on a project non-stop, they will have a unified short vacation.
Yi Zizai, the former boss and current person in charge of Mountain Studio, felt much more relaxed after the studio was acquired. It could even be said that he could sleep more peacefully and eat better.
Such changes are actually understandable.
After all, in the past, as the owner of a mountain studio, I had to worry about survival every day.
There is even a need to contact various film studios from time to time, hoping to get business for Mountain Studio.
The financial pressure we face every day, as well as the salary issues of studio employees.
But now, there is no need to worry about these things.
The studio, which was almost unable to pay its wages, has now been able to pay its employees' wages normally with the capital injection from Tongji Entertainment.
Of course, the people at Mountain Studio had different ideas from Yi Zi.
They actually don’t know who acquired the studio.
But the only thing that is certain is that during the period after the boss Yizi announced that the studio was acquired, the studio still had no business.
Everyone still stays in the studio every day.
Although Yi Ziyou allows everyone to continue to learn and improve themselves.
But in the final analysis, it still feels like everyone in the studio has nothing to do.
Although wages are never in arrears, without business it is inevitable that people will feel unsure.
The studio has already gone bankrupt once.
If it goes bankrupt again this time, everyone will probably break up completely.
After being acquired this time, Yizi was able to stay as the person in charge, and also retained all the employees of the entire studio.
But if it is still not managed well, then Yizi may really leave.
In the studio at this time, some employees did not know how many times they discussed this topic.
"Who do you think bought our studio?"
"How come no one has seen it?"
At the workstation, a young employee who had only joined the studio for a year asked in a low voice to the others around him.
But obviously the answer to his question is not clear to other people who have joined Mountain Studio since its establishment.
“After acquiring the studio, we still didn’t take care of the business issues.”
"If we continue to have no business as before, we will probably sell the studio by then."
Someone said with a worried look.
"Do you think the boss deceived us into being acquired?"
"He just wants to reassure us, but in fact he is still resisting on his own during this period?"
As soon as this idea was raised, everyone else looked at each other and suddenly felt that this was not impossible.
After all, although Yi Zi said that the studio was acquired, he never saw anyone from the acquiring company coming over.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Yizi is still in charge as the person in charge.
And they have no changes as before and cannot receive business.
In this way, people have to suspect that the studio was not actually acquired, but that the boss Yizi said it to stabilize the morale of the army, and then forced the studio to survive.
"That's right! Maybe there is no such thing as an acquisition?"
"It feels like the boss deliberately said it was acquired in order to reassure us."
After hearing such speculation, some people also expressed their stance:
"I don't care!"
"In fact, everyone knows how the boss treats us."
"Now that we have difficulties, how can we let the boss bear it himself?"
“I’m not secure with this salary anyway.”
......
Just when some old employees who had been with Yi Zi from the beginning stood up enthusiastically and planned to call on everyone in the studio to take the initiative to reduce their salary for the sake of the studio, they suddenly found Yi Zi walking in from outside.
Moreover, Yi Zi, who walked in at this time, frowned, obviously looking worried.
Although Yi Zi actually seems to be a serious person in normal times, today everyone suddenly paid attention to this point because of what a colleague in the studio said just now.
"What's wrong?"
After Yi Zi realized that he had entered, the studio suddenly became quiet.
Then everyone stared at me.
Everyone else shook their heads one after another, indicating that it was okay.
As soon as Yi Zi walked into his office, others began to whisper among themselves.
"Damn it, you crow's mouth is not really what you said, is it?"
"Oh, the boss is obviously almost unable to hold on anymore."
"Are we really going to break up like this?"
......
Everyone in the studio speculated that the news that the studio had not been acquired was looking more and more true based on Yi Zi's expression just now.
At this point everyone returned to the original question.
Why did they let them relax after acquiring Mountain Studio?
Isn’t the acquired company profitable?
It turns out it’s because it wasn’t acquired at all. This was all Yizi’s lie!!!
......
Of course, the studio employees who were thinking about everything at this time didn't know that there was actually a reason for Yi Zi's frown.
Because he received a call from Xu Ji, the owner of Tongji Entertainment, and even met with him.
The people we met at the same time were actually people from Honghu Studio.
Yi Zi knows each other, and is recognized in the industry as one of the most capable project managers at Honghu Studio.
And what he guessed was correct, Shanyue Studio was indeed going to work with people from Honghu Studio to participate in the special effects production of Xu Ji's new drama Fairy Sword Part 2.
Although it was said to be a cooperation, Xu Ji actually told him clearly after the people from Honghu Studio left.
The purpose of this cooperation is to allow them to learn from others or steal their lessons.
Not only the technical aspects, but also the scheduling and coordination of all aspects of post-production special effects are also areas where you can learn.
No matter what, although Xu Ji's tone seemed very bland from beginning to end.
But Yi Zi felt her blood boiling after listening to it.
Because he felt that Xu Ji really planned to train their mountain to compete with the top ten studios like Honghu Studio.
But it’s also because Xu Ji’s expectations are very high.
Yi Zi felt the pressure.
Although he has always been very confident in the skills of the brothers in his studio.
But it’s also a matter of comparing with whom.
If it is like Honghu Studio, there must be a big gap between them.
When the time comes to cooperate, we must do our best.
They cannot be underestimated. The key is not to disappoint Xu Ji, the boss who has given them such high expectations.
"Let me tell you the good news first!"
After calming down, Yi Zi suddenly remembered the most important thing.
During this period, except for him, who knew the inside story, everyone else in the studio seemed to be worried and confused as to why the studio was not arranged for relevant business and development plans after the acquisition.
But only Yi Zi knew that it was actually because the second part of Xu Ji’s Fairy Sword had not yet started the post-production special effects production.
Anyway, Xu Ji is now the boss of the studio.
Yi Zi is not too worried, Xu Ji will not need them.
.......
"Cough cough cough!"
"Everyone, I have something to announce."
Yi Zi walked out and clapped his hands a few times, attracting everyone's attention in the studio to him.
Hearing Yi Zi's words, the employees who had been discussing just now inevitably felt a little bit in their hearts.
"Damn it, are we really going to break up?"
"Boss, you should have told us a long time ago that we can shoulder the responsibility together. There is no business, and it doesn't matter if the salary is temporarily owed."
"Boss, I want to continue to do this business with you..."
......
Hearing the words of these old employees at the scene, Yi Zi was filled with questions.
Where is this? Why can’t he understand these words?
It feels like the studio is going to close down again.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
"Why do you sound so awkward when you say this?"
“It’s like the studio we created is going to be disbanded.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard Yi Zi's words.
Everyone has an expression of "Isn't it?"
Yi Zi said helplessly:
"Didn't I say that?"
"We have been acquired."
"So I am an employee just like you, and the studio cannot close down."
Although Yi Zi opened his mouth to explain, it was obvious that not many people believed it at this time.
Seeing that everyone still looked suspicious, Yizi simply didn't bother to continue the topic.
"Forget it, it's not important."
"The important thing is that everyone should be prepared for the next step. We have new projects."
Hearing Yi Zi say that he has a new project, the studio employees were relieved.
After all, they have indeed been out of business for a long time.
Even if it is a small project that may not have been highly valued before, it is still better than the studio going out of business.
"It's okay, boss. In fact, we are not that valuable."
"We have figured it out after our discussion just now."
"Even some small projects can't be done. Let the studio continue to survive first."
Someone said.
Others echoed.
But Yi Zi waved his hand.
Tell the truth directly.
"Now that we have decided to take over, I can tell everyone."
"The project we took over this time is the post-production special effects production of "Legend of Sword and Fairy II"."
"Also, haven't you always been curious about who bought our studio?"
"It's the company of Fairy Sword director Xu Ji."
......
After hearing Yi Zi's words, it was obvious that the studio employees were a little unresponsive.
"Immortal sword? Is it the fairy sword I know?"
"Holy shit! Are we going to take over the special effects production for the second part of Sword of Heaven?"
"Xu Ji's company acquired Mountain Studio?"
......
At this time, everyone was digesting the news.
Yizi was quite expecting this situation.
He continued: "By the way, next we may have to cooperate with Honghu Studio to complete the post-production of Fairy Sword."
"Everyone, be prepared. It is estimated that you will be busy for a while."
......
The people at Shanyue Studio saw that Yi Zi's words didn't look like he was lying, and they all seemed very excited at this time.
Rather than being busy, what everyone is more afraid of is not having any projects to work on.
And this time, I can actually cooperate with a top special effects team like Honghu Studio, which I never dared to think of before.
Yizi was very happy to see such a scene.
Mountain Studio really needs a project like this to help them regain their confidence.
And the people he selected to enter the studio have no doubt about their upper limit.
Unfortunately, the market is indeed more realistic than he thought.
I had already planned to give up completely.
But he didn't expect that Xu Ji's Tongji Entertainment would suddenly appear, and what the other party wanted to do when acquiring his studio was also what he wanted to do.
After hesitation, Yizi stayed as the person in charge.
Sure enough, he is still not suitable for being a boss and talking about business. The work of a team leader who focuses on the project makes Yi Zi feel much more relaxed.
......
The special effects work for the second part of Fairy Sword is proceeding in an orderly manner with the cooperation of Honghu and Shanyue.
Xu Ji doesn’t need to stay here the whole time.
After staying for a few days and discussing the expected effects and specific details with the leaders of the two teams, I returned to Chengdu.
When Xu Ji returned to Chengdu, after receiving a call from Duan Shengyu, he remembered that the one week he had promised seemed to have been exceeded.
"Mr. Duan, I'm sorry!"
"I have been busy with other things these days. I will have two or three days at most, and I will definitely finish writing the script by then."
Xu Ji said with a somewhat apologetic tone.
Duan Shengyu was not in a hurry. The time given by Hu Lan actually sounded generous.
Just wanted to ask how Xu Ji’s progress is going.
"It's okay, just write slowly, I'm just here to ask."
"Business about your business first."
......
Duan Shengyu hung up the phone and said to Hu Lan, who was sitting in his office:
"It's said that it will take another two or three days."
Hu Lan didn't care when she heard Duan Shengyu's words.
He said this time that he wanted to ask about Xu Ji's progress, but in fact, he mainly came to see Duan Shengyu, the old leader.
"It doesn't matter."
"But I'm a little curious about what kind of promotional video script would make him spend so much time."
Duan Shengyu is actually very curious.
After all, Xu Ji came up with the script for "Mountains and Seas" very quickly.
Logically speaking, Xu Ji's efficiency should be very fast.
This time, Xu Ji spent more time on a promotional video than last time.
It is enough to prove the importance Xu Ji attaches to.
......
At the same time, at the G station headquarters, the assistant discovered that Chi Jiang seemed to be in a particularly good mood today.
Compared with the sad look on his face before, Chi Jiang can now be described as radiant.
"Mr. Chi, why are you so happy?"
The assistant asked proactively.
Chi Jiang smiled and replied: "It will be kept secret for now."
"You'll know when the time comes!"
"If it succeeds this time, then the film and television layout of our G station can really start to get on the right track!"
The assistant became even more curious after hearing Chi Jiang's words.
After all, Chi Jiang and other senior executives of the film and television department were worried about future development issues.
Everything is caused by the drama "The Beginning".
It's not that the data of "The Beginning" is not good in all aspects. On the contrary, the benefits brought by the drama "The Beginning" to Station G are much more than the copyright fees paid.
It is a very successful project.
However, because "The Beginning" is not broadcast exclusively on Station G, its revenue is far inferior to the other two larger Tudou Video and Kiwi Video.
This made the senior management of Station G, headed by Chi Jiang, feel distressed for a long time.
If I had purchased the exclusive broadcast rights.
Judging from the popularity of the drama "The Beginning", it is definitely earned with blood!
Even if you spend a huge price of 300 million, you will still make a profit.
This drama can definitely increase the number of G station members by buying other copyrights in one quarter.
Station G actually doesn’t care much about specific revenue issues at the moment.
What is more important is the accumulation of excellent film and television resources.
At the same time, let netizens develop the user habit of watching dramas on G station.
In the past, because of the cooperation with Xu Ji, G station's film and television department, including Chi Jiang, were very confident.
But as "The Beginning" began to compete for the exclusive rights to broadcast, everyone realized the crisis.
After all, Xu Ji is not a contracted director of Station G.
Although there was a basis for cooperation before, in terms of copyright fees and publicity resources, compared with several other platforms, it does not have an advantage.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In particular, it is said that Xu Ji’s Fairy Sword II has been finalized and has entered an advanced stage.
The film and television departments are not very optimistic about whether they can continue to obtain the exclusive broadcast rights this time.
As Xu Ji's strongest supporter, Chi Jiang had already decided on it early.
If Station G’s film and television department wants to develop, it must rely on Xu Ji’s Tongji Entertainment.
However, it can be seen from the fact that "The Beginning" did not obtain the exclusive broadcast rights that the previous cooperative relationship was not stable.
Chi Jiang has been worried about this for a long time.
Finally I figured out a way.
This was also a choice he made after careful consideration.
Everything is ready, it just depends on Xu Ji’s attitude.
Chi Jiang has great ambitions at this time, and he is bound to win the exclusive rights to broadcast the second part of Sword and Fairy!
......
After the filming of Chengdu and Fairy Sword Part 2 ended, Ji Yiyang accepted two programs, one endorsement, and some announcements of various sizes.
After completing the so-called mission assigned by Xu Ji, he finally had time to rest after being exhausted.
"What?"
"You don't have any notification requirements?"
Ji Yiyang looked at the people in front of him and asked in surprise.
An Cailing asked in confusion: "Don't we all decide our own announcements?"
"My agent asked me to take it, and I pushed it."
"It's useless. It's better to watch a few more movies and take acting classes."
After Ji Yiyang heard what the other party said, he seemed a little depressed.
"It should be Sister Man's request."
"Director Xu usually doesn't care about these things."
She Yue said.
What Xu Ji demands most from them is in terms of acting skills.
As for other endorsements, advertisements, variety shows, etc., it is completely up to them to decide freely.
"But Director Xu can't let me take the blame alone. It's so unkind!"
Ji Yiyang recalled meeting Xu Ji in the studio a few days ago, and the other person looked at him with evasive eyes.
"Isn't it bad to have too many announcements?"
Ran Bai asked somewhat incomprehensibly.
When he was filming before, he had to take the initiative to look for people everywhere.
Not to mention various announcements.
"Then why didn't you appear in a variety show?"
Ji Yiyang asked.
But neither of them answered.
"Because there is none."
Ran Bai spread his hands and replied.
After the broadcast of "Mountains and Seas", Ran Bai and Zhu Zinan became quite famous.
But they are not as good as Ji Yiyang and others, and there are not many activities or variety shows to invite them.
I wish Zinan had finally won the Peony Award, and there would be some invitations.
But he simply didn’t.
......
After Xu Ji returned to Chengdu, he spent two days finally perfecting the entire script.
He took the script and flew directly to the capital.
This time the drama covers a wider area, and he also needs to meet with Duan Shengyu and Director Hu of the Military Region to discuss some problems that may be encountered during filming.
At this time, Duan Shengyu and Hu Lan were completely unaware that the recruitment promotional video they asked Xu Ji to shoot was completely different from what Xu Ji understood.
