My idol is myself

Chapter 132 The golden rooster that lays eggs 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

When Xu Wenruo was about to pull on Xingxun's tiger skin, the second season of "Tomb Raiders Notes" was currently being broadcast on Xingxun Video. Although it was just an online drama, its topicality and traffic far exceeded that of ordinary large-scale TV dramas.

The broadcast trend of the second season is far higher than that of the first season. After all, it has accumulated fans for more than half a year. As soon as the second season started, it firmly occupied the top spot of Xingxun Video.

This result makes the executives of Xingxun Video very excited, because they still have three seasons of such a popular online drama. Since it was produced at the same time, the quality is guaranteed, which means that there is no need to worry about the following seasons. Hip stretching occurs.

Due to the popularity of the second season far exceeding psychological expectations, Starcom Video regarded the remaining three seasons as a treasure. It is said that a special meeting was held to discuss whether to change the broadcast time of the next few seasons, and what was the result of the discussion? I don't know, but the suggestion he asked Qi Yue to convey has already been handed over to several executives of Xingxun Video.

In a small conference room, the three executives of Starcom Video met here. In fact, a middle-aged man with a strong hairstyle read the documents in his hand, and then raised his head to ask the opinions of the two people next to him.

"You have also read the cooperation request sent by Fengqi Studio, do you have any comments? The three of us will talk first."

"From this document, Fengqi Studio's intentions are already very clear. They just want us to be responsible for the promotion and distribution tasks."

A middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle demeanor replied, with a smile on his face and a faint gleam in his eyes.

"Fengqi Studio has a very harmonious relationship with us. Although they are only a small studio, the web dramas they can produce are pretty good. The series of "Tomb Raiders Notes" they are currently producing has brought us hundreds of millions of income. That's still three seasons left."

Another executive with a round face and small eyes mentioned the cooperation project with Fengqi Studio. It is not difficult to see from his expression that this chubby executive is very optimistic about Fengqi Studio. Quite a lot.

"Fengqi Studio is mainly supported by Xu Wenruo alone. Young people are formidable. It is rare to see such a talented young man. Since we have established a good relationship with him, we can't easily destroy it, especially since we can learn from him. With so much gain.”

The middle-aged man with a strong haircut spoke loudly and forcefully. As soon as he spoke, the other two executives nodded silently. Judging from the relationship between the three of them, they should be dominated by this middle-aged man.

"This young man is not simple. I dare say that this cooperation must be initiated by him. When filming "Tomb Raider Notes", he was still a little bit resistant to our investment, but now he took the initiative to come to us. Definitely It's something to ask for."

The round-faced executive had a lot of dealings with Fengqi Studio, and knew Xu Wenruo well, so he could see Xu Wenruo's intentions at a glance.

"There is a big gap between making a movie and making a web series. For someone like Xu Wenruo who has no connections or background, he can't handle it in theaters alone."

The executive wearing glasses was confident, he pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, as if he had seen through everything.

"That's right, Xu Wenruo's intention is to let us help him solve the theater problems, so should we agree to him?"

"I think it's okay. Judging from the documents they submitted, this is a comedy film with a low cost. Although Xu Wenruo has no experience in making movies, it is uncertain what kind of box office he will get in the end, but I think Xu Wenruo's People are worth investing in."

"Old Liu, do you still remember, a few months ago, Lao Wang's report at the headquarters meeting, do you think he will be optimistic about Xu Wenruo's movie? You know, the performance of the film branch company has not been very good recently. .”

The executive surnamed Liu touched his head with a meaningful smile on his face.

"That's right, even if we decide to invest, we still have to transfer it to the branch of the film industry in the end. Now Lao Wang has to treat me to a meal. I have sent him a big order. Maybe it will be done by the end of the year." A comeback."

"Unfortunately, it will be difficult for those who have entered the big screen to film online dramas when they come back, but we must get the copyright of this movie."

"If Xu Wen asked us something now, he probably wouldn't care about these things. We didn't take his copyright for nothing. Anyway, we invested more money in it. Even if the box office is not high, even if the box office is not high, it will be broadcast on the website later. You won’t lose money.”

The three of them agreed after a brief discussion. They took the lead in the name of the video branch and conveyed Xu Wenruo's request for cooperation to the film and television department. In subsequent cooperation, Xingxun Video will not participate, and the investment money will be regarded as buying the copyright. up.

After Xu Wenruo received the reply from Starcom Video and Starcom Films, he started to prepare for the crew. I don't know where Zhou Hong heard the news, and found Xu Wenruo during the recording of the program.

"I heard that Director Xiao Xu is preparing a new film recently?"

"That's right, a low-cost comedy movie, I plan to test the waters first."

Even though Xu Wenruo didn't know where Zhou Hong got the information, he didn't hide it and directly told Zhou Hong the truth.

"Has the lead actor been confirmed yet?"

"The two heroines haven't been confirmed yet. Would Director Zhou Hong recommend some for me?"

After knowing director Zhou Hong's intention, Xu Wenruo did not refuse. After all, he really didn't know the actress. If he really couldn't find it, Xu Wenruo would even let Qi Yue make a cameo. After all, it would save money for his own family.

Xu Wenruo's requirements for the heroine are not very high, as long as she can be a vase quietly, as long as she is not very hypocritical, it doesn't matter who she is, anyway, actresses who can enter the showbiz are not too bad-looking.

"Do you have any requirements for the role?"

"Pretty without being pretentious."

Zhou Hong took a deep look at Xu Wenruo, then nodded, indicating that she already understood, and Xu Wenruo didn't care too much, he had to polish the script quickly.

To Xu Wenruo's surprise, within a few days, Zhou Hong called specifically, telling him that the actor himself had arrived and asked him to meet him.

Xu Wenruo came to the hotel room as scheduled. As for why the interview was held in the hotel, of course it was not to discuss the script in the middle of the night, but people like Xu Wenruo who record programs everywhere often live in hotels.

Moreover, most of the rooms in this hotel have been contracted by the program team to arrange some guests. Although these actors do not have much achievements or fame, they are definitely not amateurs.

Of course they will not be allowed to live in a dormitory, this is the issue of salary and coffee position, if it really breaks out, it will be very troublesome, even if these people have only half-stepped into the entertainment industry, but they put on airs Very full.

Xu Wenruo knocked on the door and went in. There was a girl standing behind Zhou Hong. She was not very old, but she was very maturely dressed, but her face looked a little quiet. Xu Wenruo sized her up a little, and then followed Director Zhou Hong into the living room among.

"Director Xiao Xu, let me introduce you. This is Wei Ying. She was just a little girl back then, but she has grown up in recent years."

Zhou Hong touched Wei Ying's head, her eyes were full of love, she did not deceive Xu Wenruo, Zhou Hong really liked these young actors very much.

"Hi, I'm Xu Wenruo."

"Hello, Director Xu, I have listened to your song."

Xu Wenruo looked at Wei Ying seriously, the little girl's eyes were a little dodgy, Xu Wenruo smiled when she saw this, and looked at Zhou Hong.

"Director Xiao Xu, Xiaoying's image doesn't meet your requirements."

"There's nothing wrong with it. The only thing is, the comedy I'm shooting may be a little exaggerated, so you have to be prepared in advance."

Xu Wenruo looked at Wei Ying again, she was startled by Xu Wenruo's serious eyes, and immediately stood up to promise.

"No problem, Director Xu, I will definitely be able to complete the performance."

Xu Wenruo waved to her, motioning for her to sit down first, and then looked at Zhou Hong beside him.

"Then it's decided. I'll ask my agent to contact you for the next thing. I still have to sort out the script, so I won't wait any longer."

"Thank you, Director Xiao Xu."

Xu Wenruo waved her hand and left gracefully. After Xu Wenruo left, Wei Ying breathed a sigh of relief. She hugged Zhou Hong's shoulders, looking scared.

"Aunt Zhou, Director Xu looks so fierce."

"Director Xiao Xu is actually very good. Don't be fooled by his appearance."

In the next period of time, Xu Wenruo completed all the scripts of the movie while recording the program. In fact, the plot of a comedy movie is not complicated. Xu Wenruo mainly polished his lines. It is also a very important thing.

It is not difficult to make funny lines, you only need to spend a little more effort to think of more interesting lines, but how to connect these interesting lines vividly in the plot is very difficult.

Fortunately, Xu Wenruo has a mature film in his heart. He only needs to learn from the finished product, and then use the plot and baggage in it flexibly. After all, the actual situation in the two worlds is completely different, and some funny explosions may not be afforded in this world at all. effect.

And there are also very interesting stalks here, which can also be integrated into the script. What Xu Wenruo needs to do is to replace some jokes that have not appeared in reality without touching the overall plot, so that the whole movie looks more natural. .

This is not that difficult. It took Xu Wenruo half a month to sort it out. At the same time, "I Am an Actor" has also come to an end. The actor who finally won the championship was Ning Jun, whom Xu Wenruo has always been very optimistic about. He has good looks. , not lacking in acting skills, but lacking in popularity.

This stage gave Ning Jun the popularity that Ning Jun lacked, and Xu Wenruo also sent an invitation to Ning Jun. Xu Wenruo's comedy actually has two male protagonists, and it would be very suitable for Ning Jun to play.

It's a pity that Ning Jun can't help himself. He is very popular now. The company has arranged several roles for him, basically all of them are protagonists. Not only is the investment much higher than Xu Wenruo's movie, but the cast is also better than Xu Wenruo's. Movies are stronger.

Even if Ning Jun wants to participate in Xu Wenruo's movie, the company behind him will not let him take Xu Wenruo's film. Xu Wenruo can understand this. That's why he doesn't want to join a big company. If you become popular, it means If you lose your freedom, you will be given a series of announcements.

After Xu Wenruo finished recording the last episode of the show, he came directly to Langya, and this time the filming was still taking place at Langya's film and television base.

However, the original film and television base has changed drastically. Due to the popularity of "Tomb Raiders Notes", it has become a business card of Langya City's tourism industry.

After the end of the first season of "Tomb Raiders Notes" and before the second season, this film and television base received a large number of tourists every day, especially before the second season began to broadcast, the number of tourists in the entire film and television base began to grow explosively .

The maximum number of tourists received in one day is as high as 2. Even though the film and television base has a very large area, it is a bit useless in the face of tomb robbers from all over the country.

They were in groups of three or five, holding black donkey hooves, staring at the various cemetery buildings in the base, and muttering something, as if they were about to sit through the prison.

The terrifying flow of people at the film and television base also surprised the officials of Langya City. They originally planned to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but unexpectedly they found a golden rooster that laid eggs.

In the high-end villa area that had failed to be developed, the houses were in a state of neglect. However, when the film and television base became a place for Internet celebrities to check in, the housing prices in the villa area began to soar.

But there is still a price but no market, because no one sells it at all, and the people who own the house are not stupid. Knowing that the house price will skyrocket, no one will choose to sell. You must know that with this terrifying traffic, the villa area Even if his house is rented out as a hotel, he can earn a lot of money every month.

When Xu Wenruo rushed to the film and television base, what he saw was a very lively scene. From the Seven Star Lu Palace in the first season to the bronze gate in the fifth season, it was overcrowded. The huge film and television base has become Langya City. The liveliest place.

All kinds of surrounding facilities have also sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. The government even plans to build a commercial street here. It is already under construction, and I believe it will appear in front of tourists soon.

Of course, Xu Wenruo also made a lot of preparations in advance. For example, after filming "Tomb Robbers", he applied for a large amount of land again with Langya City officials, and even took down a hill behind the base.

Of course, the final agreement was still to invest in the film and television base in the form of land. This time, the officials of Langya City are full of confidence, because they have seen the results, and of course they will not treat Xu Wenruo, the golden rooster that lays eggs, badly.
