When Careeraholic Meets Workaholic

In the next few days, the crew of "Zhanlong Jue" moved into the hotel one after another, and Zhou Yao's crew gradually discussed this matter.

Big IP top-tier big productions are indeed full of topics, and even the hotel waiters are eagerly waiting for the top-tier appearance every day.

On the day of the opening of the "Dragon Zhan Jue" crew, Zhou Yao was dragged by the controlled film to the ancient film and television city to watch the excitement. He saw with his own eyes how crazy the opening ceremony of "Zhan the Dragon Jue" was. The lion team performed in the ancient street. Amidst the din of gongs and drums, two [-]-gun firecrackers were lit. The invited media pointed their guns at the crew members, and Yu Ming naturally stood in the middle , with a bright smile as if he was filming a variety show, like a star in front of the moon, very calm in front of the camera.

After the opening ceremony ended, the Internet was filled with news about the launch of "Zhanlong Jue" and starring Yu Ming.

After the two producers had watched the excitement, they strolled back to the crew to take a look, and found that the atmosphere of the crew was even a little low because of the aggressiveness of the stage show.

But after all, this team has been operating for a while, and everyone continued to do it step by step without delaying today's progress, so Zhou Yao left without saying anything.

As soon as he entered the hotel, Jin Yi, who was still in the hub of city A, called and asked Zhou Yao if he needed to hype it up. It has been nearly a month, and all the online and offline traffic has been diverted by "Zhanlong Jue". Do something, Jin Yi said that he was worried that it would affect the final selling price.

Zhou Yao directly refused, saying: "Traffic does not represent the standard. Our crew has been avoiding too much exposure and causing fans to rebound. It is just right for "Zhanlong Jue" to stand out now."

Jin Yi was puzzled: "Actually, I have never understood why you have been too low-key in promoting your works."

Zhou Yao said: "There's nothing I don't understand, I just don't want to be too high-profile, causing the market to expect too much and disappointing the audience."

Jin Yi let out an "oh" and didn't discuss further, but obviously this reason didn't convince him.But Zhou Yao didn't want to say too much, this was his real thought, whoever wanted to be a young bird could do it, as long as he made money in a low-key manner.

"Zhanlong Jue" was launched with a high profile, and then began to post photos of the lead actor's make-up. Yu Ming, who was doing ancient costume for the first time, became popular on the Internet, and a bunch of fans licked the screen and shouted that I could do it.

And it is probably Yu Ming's web-reformed drama, so it is easy for his fans to think of the popular IP "Super Calculation" and the leading actor Bai Lian of the web-reformed drama that is also being filmed.

A group of hot-tempered fans ran to Bai Lian's Weibo and yelled, "Liuliangliang! Our brother from Shengshi Meiyan is also filming, and what's your role as a newcomer!"

In all fairness, Bai Lian really kept a low profile after he became popular. The variety shows he participated in were carefully selected, and the products he endorsed were not too many, and he never posted anything unrelated to work on Weibo.

After the xiaoxianrou became popular these years, who didn’t rush to make money, the shelf life is so short, it is likely that there will be no traffic in a month or two, and there are too many xiaoxianrou crazy on variety shows in order to maintain the popularity. It's unconventional for someone as low-key as Bai Lian to be as low-key as Bai Lian.

Bai Lian's fans said: "On the one hand, I am very lucky to be a fan of Xiaobai. At first glance, Xiaobai is a professional person. He concentrates on filming and never speculates on traffic. Recently, he joined a filming group. He is simply a model worker. But on the other hand, The exposure rate is really low! Xiaobai, aren't you worried about being eliminated by the market?"

It’s such a good Xiaobai, Zhou Yao can’t say that he can increase his exposure rate, he is really obedient and only shoots movies. When he is free, he likes to learn photography, study filming, even if he wants to learn a driver’s license, in short, he has never messed with Zhou Yao trouble.

Someone jumped over to tear him up!

Bai Lian's fans were outraged: "A bunch of puppies are going to have rabies!"

Jin Yi strictly abides by Zhou Yao's low-key central idea, and asks Bai Lian's manager to contact the fans of Bai Lian's fan club, and asks them to restrain the fans under their name not to quarrel, and to ignore the provocations of Yu Ming's fans.

For some fans, they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. In reality, our mother tells us to be obedient, and we can’t quarrel as we like on the Internet. Isn’t this torture?

Indeed, some fans said at the time, "I've lost my fans, I've never seen such a cowardly fan group."

But Yu Ming's fan provocation didn't get the expected fierce response, so he said in a tone of complete victory: "Bai Lian is scared, I admit defeat, and the ratings will lose!"

Then one after another left messages and acted like a spoiled child to Yu Ming: "Brother, please work hard! You will definitely be able to! Take down Shidi! Take down Best Actor! The future film and television industry belongs to you!"

Yu Ming, as always, ignored the clamor of the sunspots, and only read the messages of the cute fans, gearing up happily!

Some time ago, the depression of not having good resources has dissipated, and he doesn't care whether Zhou Yao and Bai Lian are disturbing the foundation. Anyway, he has good resources now. Look at the current momentum on the Internet, and look back at the ratings He must crush "Supercomputing", and he will be able to transform successfully.

Yu Ming's traffic is booming now, and "Slaying the Dragon" is a TV series produced by Bluestar Universal Film and Television. As the first artist of Bluestar Film and Television, he is equivalent to his own son. The director did not dare to offend him and coaxed him: " Yu Ming, as long as you are handsome, it’s fine if your eyes are a little fierce here, you don’t need to use too much force.”

Yu Ming nodded, remembering that Bai Lian said in the interview that he used too much energy in filming, and the director asked him to take it easy, so he felt that this was the case in filming. He was filming an idol drama, not a literary movie, so of course he had to maintain his own personality. icon image.

After filming with the crew for a few days, Yu Ming didn't think it was too difficult. All the trembling mood at the beginning was gone. When he was waiting for a break in the middle of filming that day, he found a battery car and wore a fairy-tale costume. The white gauze dress, wearing a pair of sunglasses, and flowing long hair went to the Modern Studios.

A signboard saying "Tourists are not allowed" would be erected near the studio, but it couldn't stop Yu Ming. When the security guard saw that he rode past in a fairy-like way, without leaving his butt off the stool, he let Yu Ming drive straight in.

The sound of the "buzzing" battery car is matched with the gauze skirt of a white fairy, and three thousand black silks are like a waterfall of stars, all the way to the gate of the studio, all the fairy energy disappeared in an instant, Yu Ming jumped off the battery car, He walked into the studio with his head held high.

Today there was only Tang Ze's play, Zhou Yao came over to relax, chatting with the control film without saying a word, when the on-site producer slapped his back, he turned his head and looked where the on-site producer's line of sight fell. Seeing Yu Ming, who is not the past or the present, comes to his side.

Zhou Yao stood up, not quite understanding what he was doing.

But Yu Ming came here for a very simple reason. He just wanted to show Zhou Yao that if you didn’t film for me, I would still have a film. Big production!One time!Look at me, a romantic and suave beauty, you don't even want to give you a cameo for free, see!Regret it!

Yu Ming is actually quite simple, if it wasn't because he really has a good-looking face, he would become popular as soon as he debuted, but if he was given a little time to roll around in the entertainment industry, he would easily fall into the ditch.

So it may not be beneficial to become popular too quickly. A young man like him is surrounded by complimenting voices. He is used to a lot of petty temper. Everyone has to love me, if you don't love me, you are blind.

So today, Yu Ming, who thinks he is beautiful, crossed half of the film and television city to Zhou Yao's side to put on a show, saying these insincere greetings.

"Mr. Zhou, we meet again. I'm filming not far from next door, so I came here specially to say hello to senior, and also to say hello to you."

Zhou Yao glanced at him with a little sympathy in his eyes.

Just this clothes, this appearance, even if he had never watched the TV series "Zhan Long Jue" in his previous life, he had seen Yu Ming's appearance a few times, a very handsome boy, gentle and a little milky, so he just picked it up. It's a scene where the main male protagonist fights bloody battles on the battlefield. I really don't know whether this drama ruined him or he ruined this drama.

The more I thought about it, the more pitiful I felt. Once the filming was over, the child's stardom was cut off. Zhou Yao slowed down his tone and said, "Ms. Tang is filming. If you talk to him in a while, all the filming over there will be done." Is it going well?"

"It went well, filming was fun." Yu Ming smiled, very innocent.

Zhou Yao only felt the hard work of filming some time ago, but it became fun when he came to Yu Ming's side. He didn't know what to say to him, so he nodded and smiled, "Let's make a good film." Enjoy the time of filming, at least when I come back from rebirth You haven't turned over yet, you are all unlucky ones played by fate.

Seeing that Zhou Yao looked at him with eyes that seemed to soften a lot, with an unknown expression, Yu Ming took it for granted that he regarded this as "amazing" and "annoying", and immediately felt happy.

If you can make a homosexual look at you differently, it means that your charm has increased to another level.

Waiting for Tang Ze to finish filming, Yu Ming performed the courtesy of a junior, exchanged pleasantries, and then went back happily.

After he left, the control film said: "Tsk, this kid is really popular recently."

The words were flattering, but the tone contained a bit of regret. Zhou Yao heard the deep meaning and looked at the control film.

The control film said: "Recently "Zhanlong Jue" has become very popular, and the main hall has their eyes on that drama, saying that some plots in it are not suitable and need to be changed a lot, maybe it will not be good to broadcast. out."

Zhou Yao nodded. It seems that something will happen to Yu Ming, and it is a little bit of a sign at this time.

The control film paused, and then said: "Our approach is correct. We should be serious about filming and keep a low profile. Our studio has recently contacted the main hall. In fact, they are also quite interested in our film. Special exceptions can be given for particularly excellent works, maybe we can get a star."

Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows. He was a little surprised by this incident. He always felt that online dramas, especially works of this type, were always feared by the main hall and rejected.

The control film misunderstood his expression, and smiled: "I know you don't want to change the original work, and you also focus on making online dramas, but if you can get stars, why don't you? Making money is one thing, getting things approved by relevant departments and online dramas Things are just different, and there are more audiences, right.”

Zhou Yao restrained his thoughts and nodded seriously: "What you said is that you can tell me if you need to cooperate, and I will trouble you."

The control piece smiled at him.

Yu Ming chugs back to his film crew on an electric donkey, but his manager anxiously grabs him and asks, "Why did you go?"

Yu Ming smiled brightly, lowered his voice and said, "Go show off."

Yu Ming's fans and he really have a good understanding. After stepping on Weibo, he suddenly remembered that there was someone else who hadn't stepped on it. They yelled out of fear that the world would not be chaotic, and ran to Zhou Yao's Weibo. Jump.

"Mr. Yin, why didn't you ask us Yu Ming to make a film? It's a pity. Have you seen the popularity now? This is what is called a hit before it is broadcast! The copyright will be sold for one billion yuan!"

"Are you a bit regretful now, Daddy? Is there any brother who pretends to be a super fairy?"

"A hundred times more beautiful than Bai Lian!"

These kids are so good at cheating on their idols, they even went to Capital Dad's Weibo to make fun of them!By the time Yu Ming's manager got the news, there had been a commotion in the middle of the night, so she hurriedly informed the fan group to call people back to settle the matter, but she never thought of apologizing to Zhou Yao's team.

Yu Ming is now the "traffic king" in the entertainment industry, and he is admired by his owner, Bluestar Universal Pictures. Behind him are the shadows of several group companies. These giants in the business circle can be said to be Yu Ming's backers.

But what is Zhou Yao, a code farmer who made his fortune as an author of online novels, and made a name for himself in a play. Although he has the title of capital father, and has some connections with Qiqi platform and film studios, this kind of cooperative relationship is always there. It may fall apart, Zhou Yao really has nothing to fear.

So the manager handled it very casually, and he had no fear of Zhou Yao.

The scale of Bluestar Universal Film and Television Company is probably ranked fifth in China. Basically, it will release two TV series and one movie every year. It has a lot of copyrights, many works, and many artists. Five years ago, it relied on a small production The comedy film won 16 billion at the box office, and won [-] million in box office accounts, creating a myth in the industry that small and big, and once had a great reputation in the Chinese film and television circle.

However, the market is changeable and the tastes of the audience are unpredictable. Therefore, although the works have continued in the past few years, they have never been able to replicate the glory.Until this year, the company's value was about 50 billion, and it was not considered a big company in the eyes of capital crocodiles in other fields. It was only considered a small fortune in film and television companies.

Investing in the filming of "Zhanlong Jue" is also a big bet. The total investment exceeds [-] million yuan, which is basically all the working capital that their company can mobilize in the third quarter.

Movies are not easy to make, which is the consensus of all filmmakers now.

We all know that money comes in quickly in this industry, and everyone enters the circle to film movies. The cake is repeatedly divided, and the old film and television companies also consume their previous accumulation.

The president of Blue Star Universal Film and Television Company, surnamed Zuo, was just a worker in a film factory back then. He met his wife, Mrs. Zuo 20 years ago, and his wife’s family gave him his first pot of gold. With this money, he broke into the film and television industry without hesitation. , until now he has become a capital crocodile who can respond to everyone in the film and television industry.

But Mr. Zuo is also difficult.

When communicating with Mrs. Zuo privately, he said: "Outsiders look at the scenery, and we know how difficult it is to do film and television now. Now it is not as good as before. We have to make more plans."

Mrs. Zuo asked him what his plans were.

Mr. Zuo said: "Investing in multiple fields can ensure that we will not fail. Although it is late to enter the real estate market, the country will definitely continue to protect the market. We still have a chance."

"It's okay." Mrs. Zuo is the legal person of Blue Star Film and Television, not just a title. She has more shares in the company and has a greater right to speak. Everyone in the world knows that Blue Star Film and Television is actually what Mrs. Zuo decides.

The two communicated in private, and they had already shifted their attention to real estate. They didn't want Mr. Zuo's insistence on filming "Zhanlong Jue" to become a hot topic as soon as the project was established, and it became a trending topic almost every day. "Big Goose Internet Media Company" even spread the word Well, as long as "Zhanlong Jue" doesn't produce three seasons like a certain man surnamed Zhou, they are willing to buy the copyright for [-] million yuan.

Investing [-] million yuan and selling [-] million yuan, is it considered a profit?

In today's film and television industry, it is already considered a big profit. The artists are their own. The 1000 million on the book has actually been divided into half and half. The copyright was bought a few years ago. At that time, the copyright fee was only [-] million. The hype said it was top In addition to fooling the audience, the annual big drama of Liuda IP is actually fooling the platform company.

Once it can be sold for [-] million yuan, their company will make a net profit of [-] million yuan!

Mr. Zuo was proud of himself in front of his wife, and he even brought the whole company to see his face, and he also boasted about this drama.One day, a handsome man with curly hair, tall legs and long legs, who looked like an actor, appeared in front of the gate of Blue Star Universal Film and Television.

This man was carrying a computer bag in his hand, and the fluorescent green clothes were very conspicuous. The jeans on his legs had three big holes. When he walked into the hall, he was coquettish and handsome. Even some celebrities and entertainers were not as bold as him to wear them.

When he got on the elevator and went to the office on the third floor, someone recognized him and shouted, "Why is Mr. Chu here today? How is the script changed?"

Chu Xun walked over and said with a smile: "In some places, it's better to talk face to face. Where's Editor-in-Chief Ye?"

"It's in the tea room, I'll call him for you."

"No, I'll go by myself."

Chu Xun was not familiar with this place, so he found the tea room after asking the way, and heard the voices of men and women inside before entering: "Our show is so popular, and the company's income will increase next year, so we should raise our wages."

"You're so beautiful, those couples are terribly picky. I heard that they've been buying houses everywhere recently. How can there be money to raise your wages?"

"Editor Ye, this time Dragon Slaying Jue will hang on to your screenwriter, you are going to be popular."

"It's too early to say these things, and let's talk about the adaptation of online dramas. I can't compare with Zhou Yao. It's his own work. Even if fans of the magic reform buy it, we screenwriters will be scolded if we change the structure a little bit. Me, it's just that. Mix it up and eat."

When Chu Xun walked into the tea room, he happened to see the unconcealable pride in Editor-in-Chief Ye's eyes, and there was still a trace of jealousy deep in his eyes.

"Editor Ye." Chu Xun smiled, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and stepped forward to shout.

Chu Xun was hired as a screenwriter for a commercial film, and he won awards abroad for commercial films, and the cooperation with Blue Star Film and Television would naturally not allow him to get involved in TV dramas, although he is quite interested in the adaptation of online novels.

After finishing today's work, Chu Xun left Blue Star Company, hesitated for a while when getting into the car, and called He Yu.

He Yu answered the phone in seconds, said "Hello", and said affectionately, "Why are you calling me suddenly? Is there no class today? Why don't we have dinner together tonight."

Chu Xun was noncommittal and just asked, "If I were a peacemaker, do you think Zhou Yao would make peace with you?"

He Yu's voice disappeared.

Chu Xun waited for a few seconds, then sighed in disappointment, "Can't you?"

"I'm afraid it won't work." He Yu said sadly, "They are all 30 years old, and they are no longer the brats of the past. Too many interests have changed us. Zhou Yao has already walked in front of us, and the class is different. How about reconciliation?"

Chu Xun said: "Zhou Yao's situation is not good recently. The whole Blue Star regards him as an opponent. Zhou Yao is only alone. I am a little worried about him."

On the other side of the phone, He Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "We are all in this circle, and competition is inevitable. We are worried about him. He may not still miss our old classmates. If you say that is not the case, I will Why bother to recruit you into the team, it's not right for you to write the screenplay, I'm producing the film and adding his story, but he thinks I'm hurting him, forget it... let's make the movie in hand first."

He Yu confuses right and wrong, and his tongue shines like a lotus flower. After saying this, he finally stabilized Chu Xun, and then hung up the phone.

After waiting to raise his head, the hesitant and sad expression on He Yu's face retreated like a tide. He looked at the phone in his hand and his eyes turned cold, and then he sneered.

He knew that the relationship between him and Zhou Yao would never be eased. Since he was already unreliable, he hoped that the more unlucky Zhou Yao would be, the better the next play would go bankrupt, and let him laugh at him.

But the Zhou family shouldn't let Zhou Yao go bankrupt, right?

It is really enviable to have such a good background. If he was given such a background, why would he struggle to survive in such a class? He would have joined the game of capital long ago.

He Yu's full of ambitions could not be realized, and gradually became paranoid. He only thought that Zhou Yao was born rich, but he never thought that Zhou Yao's greatest wealth was not the money in his family, but the IP he created since college.

For 11 years, he has led an era in a special field.

At that time, online literature had just appeared, and online novels were products that conformed to human desires and consumption. I don’t know how many people felt the strange refreshingness from novels in the ordinary life of daily life.

Among them, there are also some elite talents. After ten years of development, they have become powerful figures who can speak in a certain way.

These diving predators may not speak out their positions, and even in the increasingly burdensome interpersonal relationship, they may not necessarily think about what the novel author of a certain article they read when they were young is doing now, but when they were young and boring. It's just a casual book I've read, not worth mentioning.

However, to the surprise of no one, as "Speaking of God" was made into a TV series, and after the popular broadcast aroused a huge amount of discussion, at a certain point, when the attention was caught by the familiar name, even if it was not It's not deliberate, the balance in these people's hearts has already been skewed.

...Is "God Says" made into a drama?Although I don't have time to watch TV dramas now, I heard that the reputation is quite good, not bad! ...

...Are you going to continue to do follow-up novels?Yes, the film and television industry needs this kind of talented person who can calm down and polish the details...

……

Favors were accumulated unintentionally, maybe I didn't even notice it, until a certain signal touched my sensitive nerves at a certain moment, and instantly one side of the balance rose high.

"The current entertainment industry is too chaotic. It's not good to film well, and it's too much to control public opinion every day!" A leader of a certain authority department scolded at the meeting, and the other people in the meeting room suddenly frightened. Feet are weak.

In the morning of the next day, the main hall notified the whole network of an order on the website.

This is the first time that the main hall has issued such a document in so many years.

The general content is to order the crew of "Zhanlong Jue" to control the topic of public opinion, keep a low profile, and hype things every day when there is nothing to do. Your family has contracted all the entertainment news. How embarrassing!

The main hall is mighty!

The "slap" slap slapped the "Dragon Zhan Jue" crew from top to bottom in the face, with crushing force, those smug smiles disappeared instantly, and everyone lowered their heads.

As expected, the production crew of "Slaying the Dragon" calmed down, and no longer dared to issue drafts.

Even the top and bottom of the Blue Star Film and Television Company shut their mouths, looking at the big boss who suddenly turned cold, all of them had solemn expressions, and no one dared to discuss gossip in the tea room anymore.

The circle quickly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! I've been in this circle for many years, and it's the first time that the chief hall issued an order. I've read the contents of the three chief halls over and over again."

"When I was having dinner with Lao Zuo a few days ago, he was still saying that the show was going to be a big hit. This morning, he was silenced by the main hall. I guess I won't be able to make an appointment with Lao Zuo in a short time. He is busy at home to reduce the swelling. Woolen cloth."

"It's really a bit too much. Recently, when I open my phone, it's full of news about Zhanlongjue. I can't even hold back the gold medals in sports. To be honest, I have long felt that the country will start to crack down on this kind of hype."

"They're all big hits, or is "Super Computing" the smart one? With big IP traffic, plus the joining of the actor, will the topic of discussion be less than that of "Zhanlong Jue"? People are very clear about the benefits of low-key development. ...By the way, I heard that "Super Computing" might be on the stars, do you know?"

"What!? Going to the stars! Where did you get the news? That's an online fantasy novel!"

As soon as the main hall made a move, the "Dragon Slaying Jue" fell silent instantly.

It was too arrogant in the first place, the main hall has long wanted to catch models, setting up models here and setting up examples over there is the usual method of the main hall.

Therefore, as soon as the order was issued, a certain leader of the film studio who had been in contact with the main hall immediately got an accurate reply-the script of "Super Computing" passed the review of the satellite TV station at the main hall, and I will look at it later. Once the film is completed, it can be starred without any problem.

Hey!

The face of "Zhanlong Jue" was swollen from the beating here, while "Super Calculation" was praised over there.

Zongdian used practical actions to tell these film and television professionals that hype is useless, and it is useless when hype blooms!The core of TV dramas lies in the content, and the traffic is just superficial. Follow the national policy and contribute to the country's cultural promotion, which is the duty of you film and television professionals.

The atmosphere in the film and television industry was rectified once, and the order immediately returned to normal. Some actors and crews even put away the drafts they had prepared and never mentioned them again. Only then did news about the sports industry and military and agriculture surface to the common people again. In my eyes, the words on the Internet are like the baptism after the storm, which is much cleaner.

But everyone knows that the "Dragon Slaying Jue" was issued an order by the main hall this time. It is by no means as simple as a warning. Since it has been recorded in a small notebook, it is very difficult to erase it.

It is simply impossible to die!

Yu Ming's fans were instantly as quiet as chickens, and they no longer dared to play wild on the official platforms of other film and television personnel.
