Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

Yang Li still knows how to do what should be done.

"You're welcome, just call me Yang Li." Yang Li put on a polite and distant face, "If there's anything I did wrong, just point it out."

"Where is there?" The assistant director replied with a smile, basically just listening to Yang Li's words as a polite word.After all, this is the investor, the God of Wealth, and the bodhisattva they need to offer up. "Brother Yang, the director and the others are waiting over there. Let me lead you there."

"Thank you."

The assistant director took Yang Li over very politely.

Yang Li's mood was a little complicated.

It was still a little rippling just now, but after the rippling, I felt a little uncomfortable.It's not because of his ability and acting skills that people think highly of him, it's purely because his boss has invested money in him.

Hey, Yang Li, Yang Li, what more bike do you need to be carried around like this?

Having said that, Yang Li still had a vague idea in his heart.If only they were being so polite to me because I'm popular and capable.

Yang Li had read the director's information before.The director's surname is Liu, and he is said to be a fan of martial arts. He has also directed remakes of several classic martial arts dramas before, but the response is so-so.In fact, his set and production are not bad, but it can't stand the actor's acting too badly.Fortunately, he made a campus love web drama before and gained some fame, so that he could cheat the investment and continue to remake "Youlong Mentoring Judge" for him.

Director Liu and the screenwriter and set designer were all waiting in the room. Chen Hao and Yang Li arrived around the corner, and they smiled politely at each other, but didn't say much.

After all, I'm not familiar yet, but there will be plenty of opportunities to get familiar in the future.

"Although "You Long Ti Ji Guan" is a remake, in another sense, it is an alternative interpretation and supplement to the film. We continue to shoot the film before it is finished, which can be regarded as fulfilling the dream of many fans for many years. Therefore, I hope everyone will work together to finish filming our drama well..."

What Director Liu said was basically a cliché. Yang Li listened and scrutinized everyone's expressions. He found that everyone was playing with their mobile phones, and they were in a daze. The scene was very familiar.

It seems that everyone is very impatient with this scene.

The guilty conscience in Yang Li's heart suddenly became much less, and he skillfully emptied his mind.According to his experience, the most important things will not be mentioned at this gathering, but will be repeated when everyone is present at the official launch.

To put it bluntly, today is mainly for everyone to meet.

After Director Liu finished speaking about these scenes, the meeting can be adjourned.

Chen Hao took the initiative to walk in front of Yang Li and said that he wanted to invite him to dinner. The reason was simple. They would have a lot of rivalries in the future, and it might not be a good thing to train them in advance.

Yang Li had no reason to refuse.

Chen Hao naturally has his own concerns about Yang Li. In fact, young actors like Yang Li are everywhere. If it wasn't for Yang Li's luck to sign Zheng Wushu's studio, Chen Hao wouldn't pay much attention to him. at a glance.Similarly, if Zheng Wushu hadn't signed him alone, Chen Hao wouldn't treat Yang Li differently.

After all, no matter how awesome the company is, there are a bunch of people who can't make it.

Chen Hao's performance in the entire entertainment circle is naturally considered unsatisfactory, but in the company he works for, it can already be called good.For an actor to be able to film or lead a role, this is already worthy of the envy of countless people.

The news that Zheng Wushu was going to open a studio was known to everyone in the entertainment industry, and it wasn't that no one went up to try and want to sign a contract, but Zheng Wushu refused with various excuses.Now that he has finally signed one, Chen Hao naturally has to observe carefully.

"What would Mr. Yang want to drink?" Chen Hao took Yang Li to a private restaurant and asked for a box.

"Boiled water is fine." Yang Li said with a smile, "I haven't taken a makeup photo yet, and I'm not sure if my body shape is suitable, so maybe I can only eat some light vegetables or something."

"Don't worry." Chen Hao laughed, "The vegetarian dishes here are quite good, and the ingredients are also very fresh, otherwise I wouldn't bring you here."

"Then thank you Brother Chen." Yang Li tried not to show his salivating expression.

He really really doesn't want to eat any more broccoli! ! !

For the first time in my life, I look forward to eating vegetarian dishes so much. It is really hard to be a good actor!

"I heard that Mr. Zheng invested 3000 million yuan in "You Long Mention the Criminal Officer"." Chen Hao pretended to mention it casually, "There are many good books in online dramas, and remakes have not been popular in recent years. Why did Mr. Zheng chose this?"

Come, come, when the other party mentioned Zheng Wushu, Yang Li immediately remembered what Zhou Cheng had told him before.

You must not cause trouble for Mr. Zheng.

"Because Mr. Zheng thinks "You Long Mentioning the Criminal" is very hardworking." Yang Li said half-truthfully, "Our boss is very concerned about his attitude, so he was very moved when he learned that the director went to Hong Kong to discuss copyright. , so I wanted to give Director Liu a hand. Moreover, the boss also felt that it would be a good thing to make up for the regrets that had not been filmed before."

Speaking of which, Yang Li also met with Zheng Wushu after he decided to shoot "You Long Ti Xun Guan" and "Civil Servant", and wanted to hear the boss's opinion.

Originally, Yang Li didn't expect too much. After all, Zheng Wushu's time is so tight and he has so much work to do, so it would be nice to be able to answer him on WeChat.Who knew that Zheng Wushu not only took the time to meet him, but also seriously analyzed the pros and cons of the two dramas for him, which moved Yang Li so much.

In the past, he had only heard about how unscrupulous the boss was and how oppressive the employees were, but after seeing Zheng Wushu, he realized that the boss is also good.For someone like him to be signed by Zheng Wushu, it is Zheng Wushu who is showing love!

Yang Li was thinking in his heart at that time that he must make a lot of money for the boss.

Of course, Zheng Wushu didn't expect Yang Li to be a hit, but he simply felt that there was hope for both dramas.

No one can be sure which drama will definitely be popular or not, but if there is hope, it is already worth fighting for.

In recent years, remakes have always been criticized a lot. People often refuse to watch remakes because of filters and emotional bonuses, or they still criticize most of them after watching them.

But "You Long Ti Xun Guan" is actually a pretty good IP.First of all, it was only released in the movie version at the beginning, and it has been a long time since the younger generation of audiences have not seen it, so the story is still fresh; second, word of mouth is a very mysterious thing.Once the remake of "You Long Ti Punisher" is above the level, word-of-mouth will be easily established, after all, there are a bunch of inferior works of the same industry as a foil.If it can really take advantage of the trend, this drama must also be a small hit.

Yang Li told Chen Hao exactly what Zheng Wushu had told him, but didn't talk about a single word of the key things.

Chen Hao was not in a hurry, and smiled and talked to Yang Li a lot, and finally said that he would buy Yang Li a drink, obviously with the idea of ​​getting Yang Li drunk before making clichés.

"Drinking?" Yang Li looked a little weird, "Brother Chen, do you like drinking?"

"It's okay, actually I can't drink too much. But we don't have anything to do tomorrow. The official start will wait until the day after tomorrow. It's okay to indulge a little bit. In the future, Yang Li, you will become popular. I'm afraid I'll have to queue up if I want to drink with you ..."

"Brother Chen was joking, what can I do? Since Brother Chen said he wants to drink, then I'll have a drink with Brother Chen." Yang Li lowered his head slightly, as if a little shy, "I'm not strong enough to drink, what if I get drunk and go crazy , Brother Chen, please help me call my manager."

"No problem." Chen Hao smiled, "Waiter, bring me a bottle of Moutai..."

an hour later.

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, are you okay?" Yang Li patted his blushing face and asked tentatively.

"Hi-I, I can still drink." Chen Hao's eyes were blurred, and most of his body was lying on the table, looking like he didn't have much sanity left.

"Brother Zhou, Chen Hao is drunk, is there anything you want me to ask?" Yang Li connected the video chat and pointed the phone's camera at Chen Hao.

"Just call him directly to call his agent. It's useless to ask. I can guess what they will say." Zhou Cheng yawned, "You are the only signed artist of Zheng Wushu's studio, everyone I must be curious about you, just get used to it."

"Okay." Yang Li pushed Chen Hao, "Brother Chen, you're drunk, let me call your manager."

"I... I'm not drunk." Chen Hao waved Yang Li away with one hand, "I will be popular, I will definitely be popular, I want everyone who looks down on me to kneel down and beg me to film for them... "

"Yes, yes, yes." Yang Li had also seen all kinds of drunks, so he had a lot of experience in it.After calling Chen Hao's manager for help, Yang Li felt that his meritorious deeds had been fulfilled, and turned back to the hotel.

Tsk, this amount of alcohol is also imitating other people's clichés?Can not be done.

Sure enough, what a beautiful person in front of people, once drunk, this posture can't be seen, hey, it's not a joke to tell the truth after drinking.

I don't know what Mr. Zheng will look like when he is drunk?Yang Li couldn't help but think about it, but Mr. Zheng is such a good character, the wine must be good too.

"I told you not to force yourself to drink it." Wang Chuhong almost wanted to scold people, "The rice wine will become intoxicating if you put it in for a long time. If you want to drink it, you still have to mix it with water and add some other ingredients."

Zheng Wushu's face was red, his eyes were dull, and he hiccupped.

In front of him was an empty bowl of rice wine.

Zheng Wushu was a little too complacent. He felt that he didn't get drunk after eating Jiuniang small balls, Jiuniangdan and so on. This time, he decided to drink some directly.

Wang Chuhong pushed Zheng Wushu onto the sofa with difficulty, covered him with a quilt, turned around and took away the remaining jar of rice wine.

It's better to wait for Yang Li's medicinal wine to arrive, otherwise she can't let Zheng Wushu drink a drop of wine.

Wang Chuhong held the rice wine jar, took a few breaths, and murmured, "It's really fragrant, no wonder Wushang couldn't hold back."

When Zheng Wushu woke up, he felt a little headache. Looking at the quilt on his body, he knew that Wang Chuhong had come.

Oops.

Zheng Wushu subconsciously felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly went to look at the place where he put the rice wine jar, and it was empty!

"I should have locked the door." Zheng Wushu muttered to himself, so that Wang Chuhong would not be able to come in, and nothing would happen if he was drunk.

Zheng Wushu felt a faint regret in his heart.

Fortunately, Zheng Wushu is a very self-controlled person. Considering that the recent post-production of "Sword Family" is halfway through, as a producer, he also needs to discuss the price and post-production promotion with TV stations and video sites.

It's okay for Wang Chuhong to take the wine. Yang Li is still in his studio, so just tell Yang Li if you want it.

The corner of Zheng Wushu's mouth gradually raised into a smile, signing Yang Li was definitely the best thing he did.

Well, ready to work!

In the hall, directors of film purchases from several TV stations and video sites were whispering to their subordinates.

What they are currently seeing is a rough cut of "Sword Family", and the more detailed post-production is still in production, but it is roughly the same. After buying it, how to edit it is their own business. At present, it is still a matter of price .

If there are other people in the industry here, seeing this battle, they would probably sigh, "It is worthy of the charisma of the actor", and the treatment of this "drama king" is nothing more than that.

All domestic first-line TV stations and first-line video websites are fully staffed, and all of them are director-level or above, and all of them are professionals.

Because of the proliferation of Xianxia dramas and costume dramas in the past few years, the market has begun to become saturated. At present, the most popular dramas on the market are school dramas and workplace dramas, and the ratings are not enough.In contrast, the ratings of fairy tales and idol dramas that had been favored in the past have been declining steadily.However, "Sword Family" is expensive to make, and it may not be so easy to buy it.

The biggest trouble with this kind of Xianxia IP is that the world view is too large, and it is very difficult for TV dramas to present them completely, and because there are too many characters on the stage, it is also a big resistance to audiences who have not read the original work.Due to various factors, this kind of fairy tale drama with a big male protagonist has not been very favored.

However, after watching the first few episodes of "Sword Family", many people's minds were shaken.

Perhaps it is because the author of the original work joined the screenwriter. The entry point of "Sword Family" starts from a small climax in the original work. Slowly introduce different forces, and almost all of the forces that are not used but have a strong sense of presence in the original work have been deleted.

There is no way, the original work is too long, and the TV series cannot be finished, so there must be a choice.At present, "Sword Family" mainly focuses on the growth of the hero Shen Guan in the world.

"The camera language and composition are top-notch. I heard that the dubbing staff have already started recording lines?" the purchasing director of Elk TV couldn't help asking, "I thought Mr. Zheng's dramas would be the original voices of the actors."

"Most of the actors are re-recording their lines, but they also need to take care of the newcomers. At present, their own lines are still not as good as professional dubbing personnel. But in order to make the audience fresh, we avoided those big dubbing players." Zheng Wushu calmly replied.

"I don't know what requirements Mr. Zheng has for us?" The person from Dolphin TV tentatively asked, "This year we still have [-] episodes of ancient costumes on our station, so we should be able to finish broadcasting "Sword of Sword" without deleting one episode. Family."

In fact, they originally intended to buy another Gongdou drama, but they went to the producer to watch the finished film, and almost didn't want to scold their mothers. What the hell is this filming?All the cutouts are taken as if they are blind, and all the faces are paralyzed and face-lifting, which is an insult to IQ.

"I don't have any particularly big requirements." Zheng Wushu thought for a while, "After our editing, "Sword Family" is estimated to be around 48 episodes. I hope that it will not be too watery when it is broadcast, which will affect the audience. In terms of perception, after all, this script is not a particularly popular subject, so it would be better to restore it as much as possible."

"Mr. Zheng really doesn't think about letting our website buy the copyright of the exclusive broadcast on the whole network?" The person who can view the video is quite regretful, "We can negotiate the price."

Zheng Wushu laughed.

Visible video is naturally rich and powerful, and the quotations are all in units of [-] million, but their website has hardly released a word-of-mouth film, and the marketing method is somewhat unsatisfactory. The exclusive broadcast rights are sold to them.

"We are all friends, and you will inevitably offend others. Why don't I make some concessions and lower the price." Zheng Wushu was polite, "Besides, for video sites, the number of hits may be as high as [-]%. It’s not as high as Xianwang’s background. If it’s sold exclusively to you and the final performance doesn’t meet the standard, it will be my fault.”

"How come?" The person who watched the video laughed, "Ms. Zheng's dramas have always been guaranteed by quality, we don't have to worry about it."

This is true.

In recent years, Zheng Wushu has been very strict in accepting films. Now that this is his last TV series, he will naturally try his best. I heard that in order to train a few newcomers who are not very good at acting, he even spent money to find a teacher to teach him. The selection is almost impossible. It is amazing to choose those that fit the image of the original, regardless of other external factors.

However, Zheng Wushu is also famous for his watertightness, and the people who watched the video are just asking a few more questions, and don't expect to really win the exclusive copyright.He still knows how expensive the exclusive copyright of this popular drama is.

In the end, "Sword Family" was jointly bought by three TV stations, broadcast on the same star, and also sold four video sites.In terms of price, it is almost 2000 million per episode, paid in three installments.The final payment on the TV station's side will not be settled until the corresponding ratings come up.

But it doesn't really matter.

The money in the early stage alone is enough to recover all the costs and have a surplus.

There are two flowers on each table.

When Yang Li saw Chen Hao with a gloomy face the next day, he greeted him with a smile as if he didn't remember anything.

Chen Hao's face was a little stiff after seeing Yang Li, but he still forced a smile to greet Yang Li.

After the drinking fight yesterday, Chen Hao decided that Yang Li was a scheming bitch.

This guy also said that he doesn't know how to drink, so he finished the two bottles of white?As a result, he is still suffering from a terrible headache, but Yang Li's face is not flushed, and his face is radiant.

With this amount of alcohol, you still say that you don't know how to drink?

Chen Hao's heart sank uncommonly. He didn't say anything he shouldn't have said after he got drunk yesterday.

He really wanted to ask Yang Li, but after seeing Yang Li's bright smile, his heart pounded and he didn't dare to ask more.

If I didn't say anything, wouldn't it be self-inflicted to ask again?

Well, let's see how Yang Li makes moves?

"Little Lili, look at Chen Hao's face." Zhou Cheng snickered aside, "You took it easy yesterday, I heard that Chen Hao couldn't get up because he drank so much."

"He can drink well, not because of his self-confidence for nothing." Yang Li suppressed the corners of his mouth, "But I'm afraid his impression of me is not very good now, so I'd better not join in the fun."

"It's good to know." Zhou Cheng nodded and said yes, "Now you are not the barefoot person who is not afraid of wearing shoes. You not only have to consider yourself, but also the image of the studio. By the way, I forgot to tell you, work There is news from the office that "Sword Family" has been sold, and the price is not low, and if the ratings are good in the later stage, you will still have a big red envelope!"

"Really?" Yang Li was elated when he heard the news, "Is it so fast? Isn't it still in the later stages?"

"The post-production is almost finished, after all, it's been almost four months." Zhou Cheng said casually, "If it weren't for the excellence, the post-production could be completed in three months. But you also know that special effects cost money, and Zheng Wushu hardly got paid. , The money was spent on costumes and post production.”

This film is Zheng Wushu's own, and the pay is nothing more than left-handed and right-handed.

"It's good that Teacher Zheng can make money." Yang Li's awareness is very high, "I'm always afraid that the filming effect of "You Long Mentioning the Criminal" will not be good, and Teacher Zheng's 3000 million will be in vain."

"Are you so unmotivated before filming?" Zhou Cheng pinched him, "Hurry up and recite the lines!"

"Youlong Mentor" quietly set up an official Weibo, and picked an auspicious time to officially launch.

Yang Li and some other actors got together, followed the director and bowed slowly, basically there were no procedural problems.

It's just that the actress next to him is a little too close to him!

Yang Li had to move to the side to make way for the actress.

Phew, he is still not used to the smell of this perfume. He is used to the smell of wine and his nose is a little sensitive.

Who knew that Yang Li moved to the side, and the female No. [-] who was stuffed in also moved to Yang Li's side.

Yang Li: ... Sister, if you squeeze me again, I will be squeezed out!

Director Liu in front had finished the ceremony, and everyone began to applaud, and Yang Li had no choice but to follow suit.

As soon as he raised his hand, he felt the temperature around him suddenly rise.

Yang Li turned his head in embarrassment, and saw the actress blinking at him, and gently stroked Yang Li's arm with her fingers.

Goosebumps are up!

"Aren't you cold?" Yang Li took a deep breath, and looked at the other party sincerely, "Today the temperature is only fourteen degrees, you will catch a cold if you wear so little, and it will be bad if you delay filming."
