Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 411 I am the Golden Eagle Queen

As the sun set, the small villa was illuminated bright orange and yellow by the light of the setting sun.

Wearing a white apron, Liu Xiaoli came out of the kitchen with a dish in her hand, turned her head to look in the direction of the living room.

The TV was turned on, and the Mango Entertainment Channel was playing, broadcasting major entertainment events that were not known to be true or false.

Concubine Liu Yi lay on the head of the sofa, with her legs resting on Chu Xuan's lap.

Chu Xuan was sitting on the sofa, watching the news with Concubine Liu Yi, while pressing Concubine Liu Yi's legs.

Liu Xiaoli put the dishes on the dining table, and when she walked back and passed the area where the living room could be seen, she shook her head and said, "Xiaoxuan, just pamper her, make her spoiled, you will suffer from it in the future."

Hearing what the mother-in-law said, Chu Xuan turned his head to the left to look at her, then to the right to look at Concubine Liu Yi, and smiled at her.

Concubine Liu Yi was not happy anymore, these words sounded like she was mocking her, she couldn't help laughing and said: "He massages my legs, and at night I help him step on his back, it's not just that he pets me, I pet him too, okay?"

Liu Xiaoli said "Oh": "Sorry, I don't understand it fully."

Concubine Liu Yi said coquettishly, "Mom! What's wrong with Chu Xuan doting on me? I'm your daughter, why aren't you happy that he dotes on me?"

Before approaching the kitchen, Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter and said, "If it was before, I would be very happy. But now Xiaoxuan is also my mother's child, and my mother has to think about him."

Hearing her mother's words and seeing her figure disappear by the kitchen door, Concubine Liu Yi turned her gaze away, but looked at Chu Xuan angrily.

Chu Xuan was amused by this cute appearance: "What expression do you have?"

Concubine Liu Yi snorted coquettishly, and she hugged her hands while lying on the sofa, and said angrily: "I have fallen out of favor."

Chu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stretched out his hand to scratch the soles of her feet.

A tingling sensation spread all over her body, making Concubine Liu Yi laugh happily, she retracted her legs in an instant, sat up from the sofa and threw herself on Chu Xuan, starting to fight with him.

"Eat." Liu Xiaoli came out of the kitchen with the last dish.

The young couple stopped playing, got off the sofa and went to the dining table to eat.

After a meal, it's already night.

A family of three sits on the sofa and watches TV.

In terms of variety shows, after the students are divided into groups, they will work with screenwriters and directors under the arrangement of the program group. This process does not require the participation of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei. They guess that they will have nothing to do in the next few days, but they can relax these days.

The mobile phone QQ various variety show work groups kept notifying that there was news. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei held their mobile phones and watched the news in the group while watching TV.

Suddenly, Chu Xuan was attracted by a message from [props group]. He sat cross-legged on the sofa and said, "Tomorrow, people from the props working group will go to the master to customize props. Let's go and have a look?"

Hearing this, Concubine Liu Yi opened the [props group], looked at the news, and became interested: "Okay."

They have been producers twice, and producers also have the right to coordinate the overall situation, but whether they were the producers of "Zhu Xian" or "Hope", they just expressed their ideas at that time, and the others Help them get things done.

For example, in terms of prop production, what is the specific workflow?What are the job details?How to make props that satisfy the director team according to the requirements?Where did the stuff to make the props come from?
They still don't understand much.

If one wants to become a truly professional producer, or even a top producer, one must have a comprehensive understanding of the detailed processes in these aspects.

It happened that I had nothing to do these few days, and it happened that people from the program group were going to do such a thing, so they stopped by to learn about the situation and satisfy their thirst for knowledge.

In the morning of the next day, Li Dawei, the person in charge of the program's props team, came to greet him in person. He heard that Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi wanted to go with them to the props workshop. Since Chu Xuan was the boss, he didn't dare to neglect.

"President Chu, Producer Liu."

"Miss Li, I'm sorry."

"No trouble."

Pick up Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi at the entrance of Donglin Bieyuan Community, and drive the commercial vehicle towards the avenue, heading towards the workshop.

The destination is located in a village near the capital, which is more suburban than suburban.

There is a factory outside the village with half gray brick and tile houses and half concrete modern house style.

Various harsh sounds such as welding, metal knocking, and sawing are mixed together and can be heard from a distance.

The large iron gate of the factory is full of rust, and some moss grows on the courtyard walls on both sides. Although it looks old, it has a sense of age.

"Mr. Chu, don't look at the dilapidated look here. This factory has been serving the crew since the 80s. It specializes in customizing various props for the crew. There is a master master leading a group of apprentices. The craftsmanship can be called first-class. Absolutely." Li Dawei said.

He added: "There was a saying in the Beijing circle back then, as long as you give the master the detailed drawings, the rocket will be built for you."

"So awesome." Concubine Liu Yi was in high spirits.

"Beginning in the 80s..." Chu Xuan said: "Decades of hands-on ability and handicraft level are very high."

Li Dawei nodded, seeing a few people coming towards him, he said: "Mr. Chu, that old man is the old master I mentioned. His surname is Yuan. People in the industry call him Master Yuan. The 30-year-old man next to him wears glasses. The one is his son Yuan Xiaomin, and the other two are apprentices."

"Mr. Li, welcome." Master Yuan has half white and half black hair, looks 60 years old, can walk like a dragon and a tiger, and is full of energy.

"Teacher Li." Yuan Xiaomin then shook hands with Li Dawei, and then looked at Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi. He really didn't expect Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi to come to such a small place, and he didn't know how to say hello.

Li Dawei introduced: "This is President Chu, the boss of Brilliant Times, and also the boss of our show. This is President Chu's girlfriend."

"I know each other, I see it every day on TV." Yuan Xiaomin smiled and shook hands with Chu Xuan: "Mr. Chu, I have admired your name for a long time."

"Hello." Chu Xuan shook hands.

Yuan Xiaomin looked at Concubine Liu Yi, but without reaching out, nodded and said, "Hi, Miss Liu."

"Hello." Concubine Liu Yi nodded slightly.

"Did you bring the blueprint?" Master Yuan asked, with some expectation in his eyes.

"Bring it." A member of the props team said.

"Let's go, let's talk." Master Yuan was full of interest, waved his hands, turned around and left.

The six members of the props team looked at Li Dawei, Li Dawei nodded, and the six members followed Master Yuan to the factory.

Seeing his father's urgency, Yuan Xiaomin smiled wryly and said, "I'm sorry, my father is like this. He gets excited whenever he has a job, so he neglected everyone."

Li Dawei said with a smile: "We all know Master Yuan's temperament, he is an old artist."

"Where, I'm overwhelmed." Yuan Xiaomin smiled: "The environment here is not good, why don't you come to my house?"

Li Dawei looked at Chu Xuan, but Chu Xuan declined politely: "No need, you are busy, so let's take a stroll."

"How can I do that!" Yuan Xiaomin shook his head again and again: "Mr. Chu, you and Ms. Liu are here. My place is full of splendor, so I have to entertain you no matter what."

"Cooperation is more important," Chu Xuan said.

Yuan Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, cooperation is more important. Look at my brain, I almost forgot the big things."

"Then..." He looked at Li Dawei.

Li Dawei gestured to the rest of the accompanying team with his eyes. They were the people in charge of the program team's negotiation and a lawyer.

"Mr. Yuan, can we find a place to talk?" a staff member said.

"Okay." Yuan Xiaomin nodded, then looked at Chu Xuan and Li Dawei: "I'll find someone to take a few of you around the factory."

"No need, Mr. Yuan, you are busy with your work, let's go on our own, don't be too polite, it makes me feel embarrassed." Chu Xuan shook his head.

Yuan Xiaomin said with a smile: "Okay, those few are free."

Watching a group of people walk towards the office building deep in the factory, Li Dawei walked slowly with Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi: "Master Yuan is obsessed with handicrafts, and his son Yuan Xiaomin is in charge of foreign business affairs. He is a shrewd person."

"I see." Chu Xuan nodded.

The master just put all his heart and soul into the drawings, and he really seemed to be an obsessed old artist.

As for his son, Yuan Xiaomin, whether it was the polite greeting that did not shake hands with Concubine Liu Yi in front of him, or some pleasantries later, he was shrewd in every way.

"I came here a few months in advance to say hello to Master Yuan and Yuan Xiaomin. They will rush to make the props for our show as soon as possible." Li Dawei said.

Chu Xuan understands that props production needs time, so calling in advance is something he can think of.

"What's the specific process?" He asked, and this was a question he and Concubine Liu Yi wanted to know very much.

"The prop team team accompanying today will stay in this village for the next few days. There are other prop team members in the variety show park. After the script is finalized, they will list the props according to the script, draw prop drawings, and describe the props. demand, and then connect with them.”

"They receive these documents from the computer through QQ groups and emails, and then print them out to communicate details with Master Yuan and his apprentices, and maintain communication with the props team in the variety show park at all times, and always confirm whether the details of the props meet the requirements of the director team. Require."

"After confirming that it is correct and the production of the props is completed, it will be transported to the variety show park by a pickup or truck, delivered to the program team and the director team, and then start to build the scene."

"This is the complete process. The general workflow of the props group of film and television dramas is also the same. One person stays in the director's group, and the other person stays in the production factory to watch. The two sides cooperate as much as possible to make the production of props go according to demand."

Concubine Liu Yi nodded slowly, understanding the process: "So that's how it is."

Chu Xuan also understood the general process of the props team's work. While thinking about it, he walked into the periphery of the factory and watched. Also piled up some wood.

He had another question: "Mr. Li, how did you get these materials?"

Li Dawei raised his eyebrows in surprise, he didn't expect President Chu to ask this question.

Concubine Liu Yi also looked at Chu Xuan curiously, wondering what the purpose of Chu Xuan's question was.

"Gold and silver are estimated to come from cooperative gold stores, copper and iron are from scraps from hardware stores, fur and cloth should come from cooperative clothing factories, and wood comes from building materials factories." He said truthfully.

Chu Xuan nodded thoughtfully, looked at the copper and iron on a long table passing by, and said: "These copper and iron come from a hardware store, so where does the copper and iron in the hardware store come from?"

Li Dawei was even more surprised. Why did Mr. Chu ask such a detailed question?

Although he didn't know Mr. Chu's purpose, he still said truthfully: "For example, copper comes from a copper processing factory."

"Where does the copper from the copper processing plant come from?" Chu Xuan asked again.

Concubine Liu Yi let out a "puchi" and couldn't help laughing.

Chu Xuan's posture of asking questions really amused her.

Li Dawei also smiled. It was the first time he had seen this way of asking questions. Although he didn't know what Mr. Chu was doing, he suddenly found it very interesting.

He replied: "It should be a mining company."

Chu Xuan asked again: "Is there any future for the mining company?"

Chu Xuan's question made Liu Yifei feel amused: "I know that, the materials of the mining company come from the mine."

"Yes." Li Dawei laughed cheerfully.

Seeing the two of them laughing, Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile too.

Li Dawei asked curiously: "President Chu, what are you asking these questions about...?"

Concubine Liu Yi was also very curious, she turned her head to look at Chu Xuan while walking.

"Just ask." Chu Xuan shook his head.

Li Dawei was stunned. He obviously didn't believe that Mr. Chu just asked casually, he must have other ideas, but Mr. Chu didn't tell him that he couldn't ask again, so he could only suppress his curiosity.

The phone rang, and after Li Dawei connected and hung up, he said, "Mr. Chu, they're done talking. I'm going to sign the contract. Excuse me."

"You are busy." Chu Xuan nodded.

Li Dawei turned and left.

The noise in the factory was very loud, Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi walked out after a little stroll.

Walking in the empty area outside the factory with some weeds, Concubine Liu Yi couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking? You asked so many strange questions just now."

Chu Xuan put his hands in his pockets and asked, "What do you think is the whole process of making props?"

Concubine Liu Yi blinked her eyes, and said strangely: "Didn't Teacher Li just say that the props team on the production team made a list and drew the drawings, and then passed it to the props team on the factory side to communicate and complete the production. Is there any problem?"

"The layout can be bigger." Chu Xuan said.

"What do you mean?" Concubine Liu Yi was puzzled.

Chu Xuan sorted out the knowledge points he just asked, and said: "The whole process of making a prop should be that the production team makes a list, draws the blueprint, and then passes it to the factory's props team for communication. Go to the hardware store to buy the corresponding metal according to the drawings, and the hardware store may go to the metal processing factory to buy raw materials according to the needs of the factory, and the raw materials of the metal processing factory come from mining companies.”

Concubine Liu Yi opened her mouth, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She really didn't expect Chu Xuan to think so complicatedly about the whole process of making a prop.

"There are so many links in it, isn't the communication cost of linking each other very high?" Chu Xuan asked.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Concubine Liu Yi was at a loss, unable to understand what Chu Xuan wanted to express.

"If." Chu Xuan paused: "Develop a standard process for this interlocking entire industrial chain to speed up the process, and set a price for each link according to market conditions to avoid complicated prices. Communication wrangling, can this speed up the overall time of prop production?"

Concubine Liu Yi was shocked, and Chu Xuan's thoughts shocked her: "You don't have a fever, right? This matter is as complicated as it sounds. It involves all walks of life, how can it be possible to formulate standards?"

Concubine Liu Yi breathed out, relieved her shock, and said slowly: "Even if we want to industrialize film and television, we only need to set a standard process for the prop production factories we cooperate with."

Chu Xuan shook his head: "Holywood's film and television industrialization is like this. Standard procedures are set for the core links, while the upstream industry chain of the core links is not taken seriously. This is in the interests of capitalist countries, and only one core link is set. Standards, such a win-win situation will maximize the benefits.”

"However, our country is a socialist country, and what we pay attention to is peaceful and stable development. This is the trend of our national conditions."

"If we only set standards for the core link, that is, only for the prop production factory, it is equivalent to greatly improving the efficiency of the prop production factory in terms of business capabilities."

"The efficiency is improved, and the prop production factory will make a lot of money."

"However, this has nothing to do with upstream hardware stores, metal processing factories, or even mining companies. They have not received a balanced share of the benefits of industrialization."

"If, as industrialization becomes more and more successful, these upstream industrial chains that have not enjoyed the benefits may do something to break the original balance of industrialization and make the entire industrial chain unstable."

Chu Xuan pondered for a while, and said: "So, in order to create a film and television industrialization standard that meets the national conditions, perhaps we can only open up the supply channels of the entire industry chain, so that all links of the entire channel can enjoy the convenience and benefits brought by industrialization from beginning to end, and achieve a balance. , in order to be stable, and stability can set standards.”

Chu Xuan looked at Concubine Liu Yi: "Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why the third brother has worked so hard for so many years, but the industrialization of film and television has not made any progress. As you said, it involves all walks of life, and the problems are too complicated. This is just a prop , See the big from the small, the industrial complexity of clothing and makeup is no lower than that of props."

Concubine Liu Yi opened her mouth, and there was a stir in her heart. This has risen to the height of national conditions, and she did not expect her boyfriend to analyze such a complicated matter so thoroughly.

"Well, I don't have enough experience to keep up with your rhythm." She sighed, feeling a little disappointed.

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms: "It's not a problem, there must be a process of learning and progress. What I said may not be right, but I am more courageous than you, daring to put everything in my mind Think about it all in series, we will discuss many things in the future, as long as you have the courage to imagine, then you will be the queen."

Concubine Liu Yi was happy when she heard the words, she tiptoed and kissed Chu Xuan's face, stroked her hair and said, "Don't comfort me, I'm really not good at this, and there is still a big gap with you, but I will try my best to reach a consensus with you ,Believe me."

Seeing the confidence on her face, Chu Xuan said affectionately: "This is the Concubine Liu Yi I know, who has the courage to explore, go forward bravely, is independent and strong."

"That's right!" Concubine Liu Yi said arrogantly, "I'm the Golden Eagle Queen!"

Chu Xuan joked: "Tell the organizing committee of the Golden Eagle Festival to change the Golden Eagle Goddess to the Golden Eagle Queen. Someone here changed the name without authorization."

Concubine Liu Yi froze, and slapped Chu Xuan with a happy smile.

"It's not in vain today, you have gained so much, should you tell third brother?" she said.

Chu Xuan shook his head: "Brilliant Times is currently considered a giant in the entertainment industry, but it's nothing against giants in other industries. At least right now, we don't have the qualifications to discuss cooperation with these giants."

"With the current scale of the company, industrializing screenwriting is the least investment, and it is relatively simple to experiment."

"As for the industrialization of other components, let the company develop for a few more years before talking about it, step by step. It is meaningless to tell the third brother now."

"Furthermore, in the next few years when the company develops, you should be the real proprietress of Brilliant Times by then. After several years of study and progress, you will be no worse than anyone else."

"The all-round business integration agreed upon, we can't leave you behind."

Concubine Liu Yi gave him a soft look, lowered her head and leaned on his shoulder, and said, "You feel so safe."

She added: "Fortunately, I met you first, otherwise there must be a lot of competition for popular products like you."

Chu Xuan shook his head: "Then you are wrong, without you I would not be what I am now, it is you who made me what I am now."

Concubine Liu Yi smiled, raised her head and pouted at Chu Xuan, who lowered his head and kissed her lips.

"President Chu, Producer Liu, go back?" Li Dawei came with his team.

"Let's go." Chu Xuan took Concubine Liu Yi's hand, got into the car with them in the factory area, and turned to go home.
