When Careeraholic Meets Workaholic

Chapter 22 A Pen Name Is Worth 1 Million

City A is a super first-tier city in China, with a developed economy and politics, and naturally the entertainment industry is also prosperous.

In City A, there are 37 registered film and television companies, 91 brokerage companies, and no less than [-] employees in the film and television industry.

This number is quite large.

Leaving aside those small film and television companies, City A has two film and television companies that exist like giant crocodiles, namely "Skywalker Films Co., Ltd." and "Blue Star International Film and Television Company".

These two companies are well-capitalized and almost support one-third of the sky in Huaguo's film and television industry.

"Zhou Yao Studio" is affiliated with a film and television company of the "Skywalker Films" faction, so after starting up, it also rented the studio of "Skywalker Films City".

On the contrary, the crew of "Looking at You, Loving You" is related to "Blue Star International Film and Television Company", and rented the venue of "Blue Star Universal Studios".

The former is in the outskirts of the city, with a beautiful environment and relatively cheap prices.

The latter is located in the city, with a total of six studios in a [-]-story building, full of modern technology, and relatively expensive in the industry.

It is the habit of Chinese people not to buy the best but only the most expensive, so the crew who can shoot in "Blue Star Universal Studios" always has an inexplicable sense of superiority.

Of course He Yu is too.

He has been the executive producer of "Looking at You, Loving You" for three months. He has been preparing for two months and settled in Bluestar Universal Studios a month ago. With the smooth progress of the show in hand, he also Keep an eye on Zhou Yao's progress.

Not only because Zhou Yao didn't sell him the drama, but more because the drama in their hands is likely to crash in the first half of next year. Competing for the traffic in the first half of the year will be compared by various platforms and audiences. "Blood dripping, commonly known as the stage play,

No one likes to lose.

He Yu didn't even want to lose to Zhou Yao.

But today Zhou Yao is on the hot search, and their crew has not been a little "splash" so far. Before the leaders and investors are held accountable, he is already in a hurry.

After the news of Zhou Yao selling his house and filming a movie broke out, he waited to see a good movie. Who knew that he didn't see a good movie, but he waited for Zhou Yao to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot. I smoked two packs of cigarettes at night, and I got bad breath.

Early this morning, he went out before dawn, drove to the Blue Star Film and Television Building, and called the director and assistant director over for a meeting. When everyone arrived at eight o'clock, everyone saw that two agents came The leadership of the company.

One is the brokerage company of the leading actor, Hao Yue, and the other is the brokerage company of the heroine.As soon as the characters on both sides show up, everyone will know why they are here today at a glance.

He Yu went straight to the point: "The production of our drama is indeed not big, but it is also a rare and excellent urban idol drama in the past two years. Whether it is the original novel, or the casting of actors, including the economic strength of our crew, everyone can see it. How much does it cost to rent such a studio in such a city for a day.”

"But we can't just keep our heads down and shoot works. This is an era when traffic is king. We must create topicality. The era when the wine is not afraid of deep alleys has long passed. If we have no exposure and no topics, how can the audience know us? What are you trying to film!"

"Colleagues! We must do something!"

He Yu's sense of crisis was full, and what he said was sincere and passionate, so he almost jumped on the table and pointed to the east, roaring, Zhou Yao is here!He's trending!If you don't want to be crushed into slag, just cheer me up!

Finally he said: "No matter what topic is good, let's stir it up, will it work, I beg you."

Hype?

sure.

"Fry CP?" A director suggested.

Hao Yue's agent shrugged: "We don't care."

The heroine's manager curled her lips: "You don't care, our family Xuexue can no longer be fired as a CP, and she can change her boyfriend in one drama. Recently, the whole network has ridiculed her. Do you still want our Xuexue to develop?"

"Then go to variety shows." He Yu said.

This time it was Hao Yue's manager who raised his eyebrows: "Are you arranging resources? We really want to go, so we have to have a chance."

"That's right." The heroine's agent nodded, "How about this, your crew sends a message, and we cooperate in the promotion, it is our duty."

Seeing the calm attitudes of the two managers, He Yu was so angry that his liver hurt, the tip of his tongue curled up in his mouth, there were at least three ulcers, and his face was distorted due to the pain.

Their company has limited funds, so they can only invite some third-tier artists whose popularity has declined to film, but the gap between top streamers and third-tier artists is obvious, and the interaction with other resources alone is completely different.Before, he thought that recruiting a traffic star would definitely overwhelm Zhou Yao in terms of topicality, but who knew that Zhou Yao was just a little bit quiet, and he became popular all by himself.

That's right, if the masters of the Internet literary world are replaced by the entertainment industry, then the mainstay of this generation happens to be the group of people who have read Zhou Yao's novels, and it is the time when the purchasing power is the strongest.

Headache.

This is He Yu's first film as a producer, and it is a critical period for his career to rise. If he could sign Zhou Yao's novel at that time, he would not have so many things. Yin Shang's IP plus the blessing of traffic stars, the drama How could it not explode.

and so.

What did I do wrong at the beginning, the copyright was not bought, and I offended people.

He Yu didn't know how many times he regretted that he was too greedy and ruined Zhou Yao's friendship with 42 yuan. In fact, he knew better than anyone that the value of "Shen Shuo" alone was more than ten million yuan.

Licking the broken corner of her mouth, He Yu suppressed her anger and said, "Forget it, that's it, I will make a promotional video in half a month, and then everyone will cooperate. There is also a pilot film, the sooner the better, I also Contact the broadcast platform."

Waiting for everyone to leave the conference room, He Yu sat back on the chair again, her eyes were dark and dim.

He regretted not handling Zhou Yao's copyright issue well, but at the same time, there was a bigger flame flying deep in his heart. Since college, he has put in so much effort to be friends with Zhou Yao, serving him with care, and sticking to his face. Being cold ass, sometimes I feel that I am pitiful, but when people say they don't like you, they just don't like you.

What a cow!

It's just that the family has some broken money and can write novels. In a special era, you are just a waste of a rich man's family!

After cursing in her heart for a while, He Yu felt better, got up, packed her clothes, and went to the studio.

For more than a month, he has spent almost all of his time in this studio. He has limited funds and can't afford those people's fuss. The effect of the shooting is obviously good, so he has to shoot a second time. Isn't this a waste of time? money?

He Yu had never been an independent producer before, and if the company hadn't been established soon, he wouldn't have had the opportunity, so he only wanted to do well and make achievements.In addition, he still has a little sense of superiority after the low-level people gain power, so when he enters the studio, he reduces his sense of existence, wandering around every corner, looking for those crew members who made mistakes.

Have fun.

But today, after not hiding for long, I heard the make-up artist who had been idle chatting in a low voice while arranging the make-up case: "Which one of you has read Yin Shang's novels."

"I."

"I've seen it too."

He Yu swam past the makeup artist and was stopped by this sentence.

He frowned and listened.

"My boyfriend was crazy in the morning. He said that Yin Shang Kaiwen had written twenty chapters, and he had to take time off to read novels in the morning. I said he was crazy."

"Pfft! Are you that crazy?"

"We don't understand the fun of men. But today, many people in the circle of friends are talking about it. Several people said that they will take time off to read novels, hahaha."

"You mean "Super Calculation", right? My feet were numb after squatting on the toilet just now. It's super beautiful. The twenty chapters are very enjoyable. I highly recommend it!"

He Yu froze for a moment, then took out her mobile phone to search online.The sound of unlocking disturbed several makeup artists. They looked back and showed disgusted expressions, and stopped talking.

Soon, He Yu saw a super topic on Weibo that was crazily increasing traffic, #《超算》 Serialized Twenty Chapters, Exploding Fire#!

Blood pressure "whoosh" increased.

He Yu supported the back of his head, closed his eyes and took a deep breath for a long time before recovering.

regret.

42 copyright fees?

He now feels that the pseudonym of Yin Shang is worth [-] million yuan.

……

Zhou Yao also got up early that day, and after publishing the novel, he was still in time for breakfast.

In the restaurant on the second floor, Zhou Yao met Mei Guangxuan. The skinny Mei Guangxuan put an egg and a glass of milk on his dinner plate. Seeing Zhou Yao, he leaned over with the plate and said, "President Zhou, you changed the show again." gone?"

Zhou Yao thought for a while, "Did Bai Lian tell you?"

Mei Guangxuan nodded, but stopped talking.

Zhou Yao said: "It's a temporary decision, I haven't had time to say it yet, I will definitely let you know when the show is changed next time, don't mind."

Mei Guangxuan's complexion improved.

Regardless of a small production team, the status is also clearly defined. The producer is undoubtedly the biggest, followed by the director, and the famous leading actors are in the back. It is ahead of the actors, so there is no reason for the actors to ask the director to change the play, which is equivalent to an offense.

Zhou Yao is just the producer, and the crew is his entire effort. He has no intention of challenging this status gap, and even maintains the absolute position of the director in the crew.

So when he put the dinner plate on the table, Zhou Yao said his temporary decision: "I'm going to the studio today."

He is the producer, the big boss. Appearing on the shooting site will bring invisible pressure to the staff. Besides, Zhou Yao himself has something to do, so unless necessary, he will not go to the scene without something.Of course there is a reason for it to pass, he wants to show that he agrees with the director, and even hand over the greatest power to the director as much as possible.

Mei Guangxuan is not stupid, of course he knows Zhou Yao's intentions, he sells it off with a smile, "The poisoning part is the most critical part at the beginning of the TV series, so we can't be too cautious. Look at the acting skills of the actors."

Zhou Yao recalled Bai Lian's madness last night, and asked, "To be honest, how is Bai Lian's acting skills?"
