Turn over from love

Chapter 206 A little low, what do you want to be tall?
The next day, around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Lu Zhou, Luo Feng, and Qi Jiajia appeared in the new film culture together.

As promised yesterday, Xu Junze knew that Luo Fengfeng would come with him, but he didn't expect Qi Jiajia to appear. The moment he saw her, he was stunned for a moment.

Her short hair was trimmed shorter and neater than when she was on the romance show. She was wearing an elegant and decent OL skirt and makeup suitable for the workplace. She looked more like an elite and strong woman in the workplace.

"What? Don't you know me?"

Qi Jiajia noticed Xu Junze's blankness, and greeted Xu Junze first with a bright smile.

Xu Junze came back to his senses, immediately put on a smiling face and said, "How could it be possible that I don't know you, it's just a little unexpected that you came too."

Lu Zhou raised the brim of his hat and said, "She just came back from a business trip abroad yesterday afternoon. I called her here on a whim. It's rare that everyone is here today, so we can talk together."

Xu Junze responded readily, and greeted the three of them into his office.

Luming Culture, which Luo Feng and Lu Zhou worked together, and Darth Global, which Qi Jiajia and Lu Zhou co-founded, are closely related to each other.

Xu Junze knew about this.

But Xu Junze has not had any direct work contact with Qi Jiajia. After all, so far, New Film Culture and Darth Global have no mutual business.

There is no contact between the two.

"Mr. Xu's office environment looks much better than mine." Qi Jiajia looked at Xu Junze's company environment, and suddenly looked at Lu Zhou jokingly and said, "Mr. Lu, you are biased."

Lu Zhou picked up the tea that Xu Junze poured for him, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I'm partial, aren't you responsible for the site selection and decoration of the company? It can also depend on me?"

Xu Junze and Luo Feng burst out laughing.

"If you really like this style, you can ask Junze for a decoration drawing, and reorganize Darth Global, and then everything will be solved." Lu Zhou put down his teacup and joked.

Xu Junze cooperated with a smile, "No problem, the drawings are provided for free."

Qi Jiajia snorted and said with a smile, "Who will provide the money for the renovation?"

Lu Zhou leaned on the back of the chair, raised his lips and replied, "Of course, whoever works there is responsible. The company doesn't even have a card slot for me, so it can't be me who pays for it?"

Qi Jiajia shook her head "tsk tsk", looked at Luo Feng and Xu Junze and joked:
"Look at how well Mr. Lu is doing it! He recently became famous on the show, sold new songs, and made a lot of money, but because my company didn't set up an office for him, he refused to support me for a decoration. fee."

Luo Feng and Xu Junze laughed again.

Xu Junze observed Lu Zhou and Qi Jiajia. The two talked without any reservations, and they seemed to be in a partnership.

The delicate atmosphere that once existed between the two of them in the romance show no longer exists.

Qi Jiajia can be regarded as a person who can afford to let go, and she seems to have long forgotten about the embarrassment of not being able to confess to Lu Zhou.

Or maybe the previous liking was just a momentary impulse.

When I jumped out of the show to look back on the past, my mind cleared up.

Xu Junze thought about himself, why was he not?

It was a magical show, full of all kinds of drama.

But it was also because of that program that these people had the opportunity to meet and even work together.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is yet to be concluded.

But Xu Junze looked at the current market feedback, and he was glad that Lu Zhou found him to co-found a new film culture.

The four laughed and talked for a while in Xu Junze's office before moving to the meeting room and getting into today's work topic.

Xu Junze gave them a brief introduction to the recent development process of the new film culture, what achievements have been made, and what problems have been encountered that need to be solved urgently.

"When our new film culture entered the market, it can be said that the entire short drama market has not yet formed a scale, it is almost blank, and some people are playing in this direction, but according to the feedback we have received so far, they are basically It's not a big deal to make small fights."

"We have a very big advantage over them."

"At this stage, our new film culture has already mastered a batch of Internet celebrity resources with good potential. These Internet celebrities all have common characteristics, that is, they have their own small traffic, but they cannot make profits. Without stickiness, we have organized these people, and through a complete internal training plan, we have preliminarily trained them into young Internet celebrity actors who can take roles in short dramas."

"Human, I can say that the preparations are basically in place, and the work is just short of opening and practicing."

"But now there is a great shortage of script resources, especially high-quality works. Mr. Luo, the works provided by you are not enough to shoot."

"This is a difficult problem that has troubled us recently."

Xu Junze played the slides and described to the three of them the recent plight of the new film culture.

Lu Zhou twirled the black signature pen in his hand, and listened carefully.

"Luo Feng, what's the situation here?"

After a while, he turned his head to look at Luo Feng beside him.

Luo Feng supported his chin with one hand, looked back at the slide, and replied:

"The problem Mr. Xu encountered, he mentioned it to me once before, and I have seriously considered it. But if you want to keep the quality and make a breakthrough in quantity, the current supply of scripts in our company must not be able to keep up. of."

"We have a lot of novels, and the entire library can be selected at will. However, if you want to turn a novel into a short play, you have to ask the screenwriter to change it into a script. This is also a technical job. If you want to write a good script, you have to It takes a lot of time."

"According to the current supply, there are enough screenwriters, but if you want to increase the number as Mr. Xu said, you have to recruit people."

"If you continue to recruit people..."

When Luo Feng said this, he smiled, looked embarrassed, and said frankly: "According to the recent revenue report of our Luming Culture, if there is no new financing plan in the future, I personally do not advocate continuing to expand the scale. This contradicts Mr. Xu's needs."

After Luo Feng's words came out, the scene fell into a brief silence.

After a long time, Xu Junze nodded, expressing that he could understand Luo Feng's difficulty. After all, they also had the same difficulty in terms of funds.

"Funding is indeed a problem, and we are also facing such a problem."

"If we want to quickly occupy the market, we need to create a large number of available talents in this field and distribute a large number of works. To do this, we are also tight in terms of funds at present."

"But the dilemma is a dilemma, and we have to find a way to solve it. The entertainment market, which is short, flat and fast, must be laid out as soon as possible, and the entry action must not be slow, otherwise people who grab the cake will flock to it. At that time, If we want to become bigger and stronger, it will be very difficult.”

Xu Junze said in a deep voice.

Each has its own difficulties, how to achieve a balance.

Lu Zhou stopped turning his pen.

"Junze, let's play the short play made by the company." He said suddenly.

Xu Junze was slightly stunned, then nodded, and played a few representative works with relatively good data on the computer for everyone to see.

Lu Zhou quickly browsed through several works, pondered for a long time, then looked at Xu Junze and said:

"Let's reduce the cost of shooting in the early stage. There is no need to shoot so beautifully. Be more down-to-earth. When the market opens up and you are more comfortable, you can take the high-end route."

"The choice of the subject matter of the script should also be well positioned. For the short dramas that are currently filmed, which wave of audience do you target?"

Xu Junze frowned and said, "You are asking too broadly. Short videos are also divided into male and female audiences. Female themes are different from male ones, and the audiences are different. Anyway, the main focus is the main force in the current short video big data. "

As for what Lu Zhou said before, Xu Junze immediately responded, in front of Qi Jiajia and Luo Feng, his tone seemed to be a bit "you don't know how to do it" and said:
"We have filmed more down-to-earth ones, but the feedback from the release data is not good. The current aesthetics of the main force of short videos does not allow short dramas with a lower style of painting at all. They don't try to make them more beautiful. They don't watch them. In their In conception, isn’t it good to watch TV dramas? The content is even better.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Jiajia and Luo Feng glanced at Lu Zhou's expression at the same time.

Lu Zhou had no expression on his face, and seemed to be thinking seriously. After listening to Xu Junze's words, he said, "The crowd positioning is wrong, the theme is not selected correctly, and the data will certainly not look good."

"If you want to take the high-quality line, you can't go in a large number. This is a contradiction."

"If funds are tight at this stage, first find a way to expand the market, make a profit, and survive nourishingly. After eating and drinking enough, consider the boutique route. If you don't have enough food, what do you want to be tall?"

Qi Jiajia and Luo Feng raised their eyebrows at the same time, listening attentively.

Xu Junze's expression turned a little ugly when he was directly reprimanded, but he still thought about Lu Zhou's words seriously and asked, "Is the crowd positioned wrong?"

"I can't be wrong, I can only say that choosing this group of people at this stage is not conducive to survival, because our funds are limited." Lu Zhou corrected his rhetoric a little.

"You said that the audience of short dramas is the main force of short videos at present. Judging by the themes of the short dramas you choose, it is indeed the case. It is young, innovative, interesting, and fits the positioning."

"But the positioning was chosen wrong at the beginning. At this stage, we should play in the lower market. The lower the better, choose the urban groups below the third tier, and make the content they like to watch. They will not appreciate the themes you are shooting now. , they are Xiaobai users, so we have to show them Xiaobai content.”

"Male-frequency subjects, filming those urban soldiers who are full of contradictions and excitement, and the return of the son-in-law, you will open the door to a new world."

"For women's channels, just shoot those themes such as the domineering CEO falling in love with me, the disabled prince standing up on the wedding night, the beautiful wife running away with the ball, the billionaire richest man in the world posting notices about finding his wife, etc. The more bloody the better, the data will tell you What makes the most money."

"The cost of filming these is low, as long as the script is well written, the actors can perform 'exaggerated and real' acting skills, and show the conflict and excitement of the plot, that's enough."

"What are you filming about urban love in the workplace, first love on campus, school bullies slapping faces, these groups either have no money, or are tricky, and they don't like to read quality content. They think it's better to chase novels, which is not good. profitable."

"You can go back and study the short play about the Secretary of the Overlord that you starred Li Jiayan, why the data is so good."

Lu Zhou picked out the problems he saw one after another, and threw them to Xu Junze to think about.

Then he turned his head to look at Luo Feng and said:

"Luo Feng, you have arranged for someone to select some new media novels with better data performance from the novel works library. Recently, the screenwriters will give priority to refining the plot and adapting it into a script. Each episode should be short, just a few minutes of footage. Every episode has to have enough coolness and conflict."

"It doesn't require high quality, low-level Xiaobai is enough. This is not difficult for professional screenwriters, and it is still mass-produced."

"If it doesn't work, go to the university to recruit a part-time job, and let Li Wen give you a few days of basic screenwriting skills training."

Luo Feng was satisfied with the plan, nodded and smiled: "OK."

Seeing that the two of them had made arrangements, Qi Jiajia couldn't help looking at Lu Zhou, and asked with a smile, "So what am I doing here today? Do you want to listen?"

Lu Zhou turned his eyes to look at her, raised his lips and smiled, "I'm calling you here, I want you to understand the situation first, and I'll also take a look at Junze's short play library, is there anything your team likes? I think it's okay. It was translated and released overseas."

When Qi Jiajia heard this, her eyes fell on the projection slide, she pondered for a moment, and said, "This mode can indeed be turned on."

"Junze, the quality of the girls' urban and campus short dramas you filmed earlier is not bad. After we translate them, we can try to put them in the Southeast Asian market to see the effect."

When Xu Junze heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said with a smile, "That's great! Can you translate for us for free?"

Qi Jiajia raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "It's free? I want you to be beautiful! Why don't you say that you provide us with video materials for free?"

Xu Junze: "..."

Luo Feng was overjoyed, and said to Xu Junze: "You really did a good job in Daydream, and it's free. She helps us translate Luming Culture's works overseas, and she has to collect a part of the profits. If she really gives your new film culture free , then I will complain to Lu Zhou for my grievances."

Lu Zhou smiled, "It's useless to complain to me, how to cooperate is your business, you are the talker of the company, I am only responsible for collecting money."

Qi Jiajia, Luo Feng, Xu Junze: "..."

Is he the talker? Doesn't he have any clues in his mind?Where's the face?
After the four of them solved their work problems, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.

When it was time for dinner, Xu Junze said that he would invite them to a big meal.

Luo Feng had something to rush back to deal with, so he refused;

Qi Jiajia made an appointment with a friend at night, but also refused;

Lu Zhou was going to master's house at 07:30, and his wife specially told him to make his dinner, so he had to save his stomach.

There was still time, Lu Zhou stayed with Xu Junze for a while longer.

Xu Junze went back to the office to sort out today's meeting ideas, smiled and said to Lu Zhou who was nestled on the sofa: "So, when encountering difficulties, I should talk to you. If you dial today, my thinking will be cleared up. You usually come to the company if you have nothing to do."

Lu Zhou looked up from his mobile phone and said, "It's all right, I'm so busy."

Xu Junze: "Tsk tsk, yes, you are a big celebrity now."

Lu Zhou: "Stop playing with yin and yang."

Xu Junze smiled, "Sometimes I feel that you are not from the entertainment industry, but more like an old fritter who is very familiar with our industry. There are some key issues, you can hit the nail on the head when you look at them."

"It's nothing, it's just a bystander." Lu Zhou lowered his head and played with his phone again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Junze, are you there?"

A female voice came from outside the door, which sounded familiar.

Lu Zhou stopped playing with his mobile phone.

Xu Junze and Lu Zhou looked at each other silently, and said in a low voice, "It's Jia Yan."

Lu Zhou: "..."

He put his phone in his trouser pocket and got up from the sofa.

"Don't bother, you guys talk, I'm leaving."

Xu Junze: "..."

Why did this kid run away as soon as he heard his ex-girlfriend was coming?
The person who deliberately wants to sign Li Jiayan to the new film culture, isn't it...his own request?

Xu Junze really didn't understand what Lu Zhou was thinking.

But at this time, Lu Zhou had already put on the peaked cap that he had worn when he came, walked towards the door, and opened the office door.

Li Jiayan only saw the lights in the office, but never heard a response from inside. She thought no one was inside, and was about to leave, but at this moment, the door in front of her was opened from the inside.

She raised her eyes slowly, then a look of surprise flashed across her face, and she froze in place.

"Lu Zhou?" There was surprise in her tone.

long time no see.

Lu Zhou was still holding on to the doorknob, and he saw Li Jiayan's familiar face.

"Jiayan." He greeted casually, smiled and asked knowingly, "Looking for Junze?"

The meeting came too unexpectedly, Li Jiayan was full of surprises in her heart at the moment, she was a little stunned, she didn't fully react, she subconsciously nodded her head "Yes".

"He's inside, let's go." Lu Zhou responded, then opened the door and turned sideways to let her pass.

Li Jiayan didn't move, and after she realized it, she asked, "You... are you leaving now?"

Lu Zhou nodded: "Yes."

Li Jiayan's excitement at the beginning slowly turned to disappointment again. She subconsciously nodded and glanced at the time on her phone, then smiled at him and said, "Have you eaten yet? If there is nothing urgent, let's have dinner together before leaving? "

Lu Zhou looked down at her for a while, and said, "No, I have a dinner appointment with someone else tonight."

Li Jiayan originally had the urge to ask who he had an appointment with, but after thinking about it, it was inappropriate to ask such a question, so she held back the words.

She bit her lower lip lightly and smiled regretfully, "Okay, then next time."

Lu Zhou nodded, smiled softly at her, and said, "Okay, if you come over next time, please have dinner with Junze."

Li Jiayan: "..." Xu Junze was brought in again.

Xu Junze in the office stared at the two people stuck at the door who couldn't get in or out without a word, how delicate the atmosphere was.

"Aren't you busy recently?" Li Jiayan subconsciously greeted her after a rare meeting.

"It's really busy, how about you? Are you getting used to the new job after changing careers?" Lu Zhou followed her words.

"Still getting used to it." Li Jiayan pursed her lips into a smile, and then asked hesitantly, "The short play I acted is online, have you... watched it?"

"Just now in the conference room, Junze showed it to me." Lu Zhou said with a smile, "The acting is good, the data is pretty good, come on."

Li Jiayan was praised and smiled comfortably, "I will work hard."

With that said, she finally gave him the doorway and smiled lightly at him.

"I won't waste your time. Let's talk about it next time you come over. I'll talk to Junze about work." She said.

"Okay." Lu Zhou smiled back, turned and left the office door.

Li Jiayan stood at the same place and looked at his receding back. She didn't know if it was because of "what you can't get is always in a commotion". She felt that he seemed to have become more handsome recently, and he was full of hormones.

"Lu Zhou!"

She suddenly called out to him again.

Lu Zhou stopped in his tracks and looked back inexplicably.

Li Jiayan smiled and said: "The stage of "Sold Out" is amazing, in my heart, you are the real No.1."

Lu Zhou looked at her silently for a moment, obviously, she watched "Star Motion 1+1".

He nodded slightly with a smile and said, "Thank you."

After speaking, he turned around and walked away without stopping.

Li Jiayan was in a good mood, turned around and entered Xu Junze's office, "Hi, I'm here to talk to you about changing the theme of my next short play."

"..." Xu Junze pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, then smiled and said, "No change."

Li Jiayan raised her eyebrows, "Why? I don't want to make this kind of stupid drama anymore, I want to change to a less low-level one, can you ask the screenwriter to help me write a less exaggerated one?"

Xu Junze: "The new plan I just discussed with Lu Zhou is now the company's main promotion of this down-to-earth sinking market theme."

Li Jiayan frowned, "Why?"

Xu Junze: "The decision is made considering the future development of the company in many ways. In short, you just follow our arrangement first."

Li Jiayan: "..."

Obviously, she is not popular now, and she has no say in what she wants to shoot.

She couldn't help muttering silently in her heart: bear with it, work hard to get ahead, and stand on the same height as him!At that time, you will have everything you want!
　Thanks to the blood patriarch for rewarding 200 starting coins!
