Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 279: Alternative Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Industry (14)
"When Director Zhang shoots a movie, there will always be overspending," Lu Xian, who has experienced Director Zhang's overspending, said this helplessly.
This is not about discussing that Zhang Tao likes to spend money, but that this person is good at making the project perfect, so that the current funds are insufficient, resulting in various gaps in the project.
Shen Yao frowned. She had prepared a lot of money, which would be hundreds of millions after deducting the cost of the actors. Even so, it couldn't stop Zhang Tao from pursuing perfection. Well, it seemed that not letting this person shoot a science fiction film was a very wise choice.
If you want to spend a lot of money, it has to be a mysterious science fiction film, which should not be attempted lightly.
"I'll go over and take a look when I'm free at the end of the month," as long as the money is spent in the right place, additional investment will not be a problem.
It's not a good idea to just leave a nearly finished movie there, or to bring in other capital to share the pressure.
Shen Yao is confident that this movie will make money, so naturally she wants to take control of the film's copyright distribution.
Lu Xian glanced at Shen Yao and said, "I have nothing to do at the end of the month, so I'll stay with you."
As boyfriend and girlfriend, proper interaction is conducive to enhancing feelings.
Shen Yao pursed her lips and nodded, mentioning that she was currently filming a TV series and would get entangled with that group of people when she arrived at the hotel.
Hey
When will Xingxing Film and Television be able to reach a higher level? Although Xingxing Film and Television has recruited a lot of employees, it is still not as big as some already famous film and television companies.
What's more, Shen Yao's Star Film and Television is picky in style and has been privately complained by many people in the circle, especially those celebrity artists who recommend themselves and cannot save face after being rejected. They are the main players in ruining the reputation of Star Film and Television.
If Shen Yao were to say, even if the deal failed, the friendship still existed. She had to say it out loud to embarrass both parties. She was not a cheerful and open-minded person who did not like to hold grudges. Xingxing Film and Television now had a thick blacklist.
If this continues, Shen Yao will have to worry that there are too many people on the blacklist, and the remaining actors will not be enough to be selected for filming.
After all, Shen Yao also has to consider the dark history of some actors. She can't let them die right after the filming, that would be a loss-making deal.
The vehicle moved forward, bypassed the congested road ahead, and soon stopped in front of a hotel.
The thank-you banquet was held in the lobby on the second floor of the hotel. The venue was large and bright enough. I heard that dozens of media and newspapers also attended.
In today's world of well-developed Internet, the influence of newspapers has declined, but they are still traditional media after all, and invitations should still be made.
The two were dressed casually, and compared to the stars who looked like they were walking on the red carpet, they looked more like they were just taking a walk.
Outside the flash lights were fans gathered together, running over to chase their idol in such hot weather. Shen Yao admired their courage.
After passing the noisy hotel entrance, the two went upstairs under the arrangement of the staff.
Compared to downstairs, upstairs is quieter, but at the same time, upstairs is more formal than downstairs.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Lu"
The two of them came hand in hand and attracted a lot of attention. In addition to the fans who came for their idols, the stars themselves were also paying attention to them.
These are two investors. If we build a good relationship with them, we will have an extra network of contacts when we act in future. Who doesn't want to have a chance to act in a movie and make money?
"Mr. Shen"
A beautiful lady in a red dress came slowly. The heroine of "The Legend of Lock Heart", Liu Ying, is not young anymore and is a well-known and powerful actress in the circle.
Shen Yao nodded and complimented the other party. When the male lead Zhou He came over with his agent, Liu Ying left and talked to other people.
After the male and female protagonists, there are the male and female supporting roles, just like in a harem with strict rules. The entertainment industry also follows this backward custom.
No one broke the rules. Even Shen Yao only moved around within the bottom line, disguising herself and blending in.
The wine glass in her hand was changed frequently. Shen Yao didn't like drinking, but in this kind of occasion, she still had to give face to the people who came.
"Mr. Shen, please take care of me in the future."
"must"
"Mr. Shen, when it comes to the movies produced by Xingxing Films, you have to consider my family more."
"XX is excellent, it's what he deserves."
"..."
I couldn’t tell how much I said. When Shen Yao left the thank-you banquet, her head was still a little dizzy.
Lu Xian supported Shen Yao with one hand and held her in his arms.
There was a pleasant herbal scent on the coat, which made Shen Yao inhale deeply.
"How is it? Do you want to slow down?" Lu Xian glanced at Shen Yao, which directly led to Shen Yao getting drunk.
Shen Yao shook her head and lay directly in Lu Xian's arms, putting her arms around his waist.
"It's okay, I just feel that tonight is really lively." At the colorful thank-you banquet, scene after scene of the drama called reality was played out.
Everyone says that TV dramas are fake, but little do they know that putting real-life content on the screen will only make people feel absurd.
"Let's go back. Director Zhao from Shanghai TV Station is very interested in that fantasy drama. I'll have someone follow up with him," to facilitate subsequent price negotiations.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xian nodded and asked the staff to help drive the car over. He reached out to help Shen Yao sit firmly, and drove home by himself.
……
The popularity of "The Legend of Locking Heart" is significantly different from the dramas previously produced by Xingxing Film and Television.
The most obvious thing is that this drama is so addictive that people can watch it over and over again without realizing it.
Various famous up-loaders began to pop up like mushrooms after rain to comment on the drama, and whether they praised or criticized it, they could bring in a wave of traffic.
Shen Yao asked Ma Qingjian to arrange people to keep a close eye on the show. If any inappropriate discussions appeared, the internet trolls would be dispatched to guide public opinion to prevent any problems from dragging the show into trouble.
As for some discussions that do not involve the bottom line, Shen Yao lets them express themselves freely, and sometimes even pays money to continue buying hot searches.
The advantage of doing this is that the rights for the second and third broadcasts of "The Legend of Locking Heart" will be sold very quickly.
After all, this drama is very popular. Even if it is rebroadcast, it can earn enough ratings, and the income from the interstitial advertisements also makes the TV stations jealous. What reason is there not to spend money to buy it? It’s not expensive anyway.
Yes, the price of "The Legend of Locking Heart" is getting cheaper and cheaper, but if you sell a lot of cheap things, you can also accumulate a staggering amount of wealth.
From the beginning, Shen Yao wanted to make "The Legend of Locking Heart" a benchmark in the TV drama industry, and she was aiming for several good award ceremonies at the end of the year, so she did not skimp on the publicity expenses.
For three whole months, the popular TV series on the Internet were all named "The Legend of Locking Heart". Even after the show ended, the hot searches would still surge to the top every now and then.
With such an attitude, it is not surprising that "The Legend of Lock Heart" was nominated for seven major awards including Best Actor and Best Actress at the annual awards ceremony.
"Mr. Shen, the Qianhua Award Committee has sent an invitation letter. The crew of "The Legend of Locking Heart" will win the award."
It was already October and the weather was getting cooler, so Shen Yao changed into a slightly thicker gown.
In the past few months, Shen Yao has been busy. Even though she and Lu Xian are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, it still can't stop her determination to go out and run around.
Zhang Tao's film has been finished and is currently in the production stage. Because the filming of the film was overspent, Zhang Tao felt bad and took it upon himself to work overtime for Shen Yao and take charge of the film editing.
The copyrights of the fantasy and martial arts dramas that were later released have been successfully sold and are only waiting to be released in March next year.
"Did Director Zheng receive the notice? He is still filming at the film and television base. Remember to ask him to come back in advance."
"The Legend of Locking Heart" is the painstaking work of director Zheng, and it can be said that one film is worth five.
Director Zheng has been working diligently on filming without rest in the past few years, firstly to make money, and secondly for the big pie that Shen Yao had promised. Now that the pie has come true, he cannot miss it no matter what.
Ma Qingjian told Shen Yao not to worry, as she had informed Director Zheng as soon as she received the news.
"From what Director Zheng said, I'm a little reluctant to come," Ma Qing looked embarrassed. The Thousand Flowers Awards are known for being watered down and they like to divide the winners up, and the awarding process is not entirely fair. They have always had a bad reputation both inside and outside the circle.
There is not only this award ceremony at the end of the year, there are several other more important ones.
Even though we cannot get as many nominations as the Thousand Flowers Awards, we will definitely gain something and will not come away empty-handed.
“Tell Director Zheng to stop throwing a tantrum. The Thousand Flowers Awards are still of some standard after all.” Even though it’s not that high, and even if the bonus from winning the award isn’t as good as some other award ceremonies, how can one be picky about such an award-winning thing?
Director Zheng is Shen Yao's subordinate, so Shen Yao feels it necessary to remind him a few more times, telling him not to think that he can just rest on his laurels after making a good drama. There are so many examples of failures out there, and they are all bloody lessons.
After waving her hand to let Ma Qing go, Shen Yao searched her swollen brain and suddenly remembered that her relationship with Lu Xian was exposed some time ago, and Shen Jinshan and Huo Lan asked her to take him home.
Shen Yao pushed it off and stayed until the Chinese New Year, but given the situation this year, there were a lot of things to do inside and outside the company, and she might not be able to make it back in time.
Forget it, if it really doesn't work, let Shen Jinshan take Huo Lan and his brothers and sisters to Beijing.
Anyway, the two younger ones have already taken the college entrance examination and are currently studying at university, leaving Shen Jinshan and Huo Lan, a middle-aged couple, at home, which is quite boring.
"Your dad and I are busy, let's talk about it after the New Year. As for you, you haven't even graduated from college yet," so she found an older boyfriend who is in the entertainment industry.
Holland hesitated to speak, and it was obvious that he didn't think highly of this couple.
Shen Yao felt that the other party was biased. Lu Xian was so good and was good in every way.
The mother and daughter hung up the phone. Neither of them was very satisfied with the conversation, but it didn't matter. Shen Yaoshen felt that Lu Xian could handle his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. If he couldn't, there were other ways to go.
Lu Xian: ...Ah?
"Are you thinking too much? I understand your worry, don't worry, there will be no problem."
Lu Xian looked at the girl with a serious face, picking up food for her and comforting her with words.
Shen Yao's eyes turned and she mentioned that their family might spend the New Year in Beijing.
With his eyes twinkling, Lu Xian brought the prepared soup to Shen Yao, "What a coincidence, my parents will also be here this year."
Shen Yao:......
"Is it true?" Shen Yao was confused. Looking at Lu Xian's beautiful face with a smile like a flower, she decided to think over and over again about what this person had said.
"You're not going to the film academy. Come and eat," Lu Xian did not give a direct answer, but continued to serve Shen Yao.
Shen Yao obediently finished the food in the bowl, drank the soup to relieve the greasiness, then got in the car with Lu Xian to go to the Beijing Film Academy.
Shen Yao is not a student of this university, but Lu Xian happens to have graduated from Beijing Film Academy.
The reason why the two came back was because a variety show invested by Lu Xian was about to start filming, and they were currently lacking suitable candidates.
Shen Yao felt that since it was a mystery-solving variety show, there should be someone responsible for brainpower and someone responsible for presentation.
Where can we find people who can act as the face of a film? There are many such people in film schools.
So, the two of them came here to cast and build relationships with the teachers at the Film Academy. After all, both Lu Xian’s investment and Shen Yao’s Xingxing Film and Television can be used.
"Lu Xian"
Teacher Gao, who had taught Lu Xian, had a smile on his face. Not only did he lead the two into the campus, he also helped introduce the beautiful scenery inside the campus.
After continuous renovation and construction, the Beijing Film Academy is now more than twice as large as before.
When Lu Xian was in school, the Beijing Film Academy only had a few lonely teaching buildings. Looking at it now, all you can see is the Beijing Film Academy's territory.
"I heard that you were coming here before. I haven't seen much news about you in recent years, but your classmates say that you are doing very well." It's a pity that he is no longer filming. What he valued most about Lu Xian was his acting talent.
Teacher Gao is not young. He has a chubby figure and looks round and kind. There are some white hairs on his head.
He has a good relationship with Lu Xian, and even though Lu Xian no longer acts, he has not cut off daily contact with Teacher Gao.
This time I came here for Teacher Gao's sake. Even if you are a student of the Beijing Film Academy, you may not be able to get a role as soon as you leave school.
The three of them walked forward and would chat with any classmates who came to say hello.
Shen Yao came here just to join in the fun, so she didn't talk much to these people. However, Teacher Gao still fought for his student's opportunity, so that Shen Yao could use the speech she had prepared in advance.
It is also thanks to Shen Yao that he has not suffered any defeat or loss so far. Otherwise, with such a high-intensity filming frequency, even without the intervention of other people, the long-term cash flow would directly drag down the entire company.
He came to the Beijing Film Academy, had dinner with Teacher Gao and his group in the evening, and then left with Lu Xian driving Shen Yao.
On the way, Lu Xian hesitated for a while, and finally said that a variety show had invited him, and he wondered if Shen Yao would mind appearing.
Shen Yao:...Hmm?
Shen Yao blinked, not understanding what this meant, until Lu Xian said that this variety show involved personal matters and was an observational variety show.
"Do you want to be on?" Observational variety shows are relatively rare in China at present. Most people still participate in scripted studio variety shows, or at most outdoor variety shows, but they also have script requirements.
Lu Xian nodded, "This variety show that I invested in is a director's work."
Shen Yao understood, and couldn't find anyone for a while, so she asked Lu Xian, who was more familiar to her, to save the situation, and at the same time use Lu Xian's explosive points to increase the popularity of this variety show.
"Okay," she has never participated in a variety show, and it would be nice to try it out.
