Xue Jun has been in a good mood recently, and his career has made great progress this year.

At this time last year, the first part of "College Student Story" was broadcast during the summer vacation, which made him a director who gained a certain degree of fame, and he was barely called a famous TV director.

However, this "TV director" is very empty, and then I found that it was okay to go well, if the next drama hit the street, he would be beaten back to his original shape immediately, and the end would be even worse.

The entertainment industry is very realistic, it doesn't matter if you have a smooth ride, but if you are unlucky, some people come to see the excitement, and those who are not particular have to step on two feet.

People with deep roots and backers are fine, and they have the opportunity to turn over, and many people have scruples, but if they suddenly gain ambition and decline, it will be several times more difficult to get on the throne.

In the past, the entertainment industry was booming, and it is estimated that there are still nobles who like to send charcoal in the snow, but now that the wind has passed, there are fewer and fewer things to help others.

Xue Jun is blessed by mountains and rivers, but if the new work hits the street, it will definitely reduce the trust of the boss and the senior management in him, and the resources he has obtained in the company will also be weakened.

Fortunately, Xue Jun fought for himself.

At the beginning of this year, a "Divine Doctor Xilaile" won a super high rating of 2.75, sweeping all TV series in the first quarter of 2021.

Xue Jun completely secured the position of a famous director in one fell swoop, not to mention, but also posed a big threat to Kong Sheng and Gao Xinjian's "battle for the second director of mountains and rivers".

It's a pity that this beautiful moment didn't last long, Kong and Gao's new works "The Great Dyeing Workshop" and "Seven Swords 2" were broadcast in turn, with ratings breaking 3 and a rating of 9.

The threat that Xue Jun had just built up was immediately beaten again.

In this regard, Lao Xue is quite calm, and after many blows, he also understands that he may not be able to compete with Kong and Gao.

At most, it's just a shit-stirring stick, occasionally stimulating the two of them, if it's a real fight for the second child, even if it's a fluke, it can't suppress these two perverts.

Xue Jun, whose mentality has changed to peace, can be regarded as being his own Xue Laosi in a down-to-earth manner, and from time to time he thinks of making a big move, and he is also rushing to make trouble for Kong and Gao.

He can't be the second child, and no one else can do it......

If Kong and Gao knew that Xue Jun, who seemed to be loyal, would have such a "shameless" idea in their hearts, Shanhe would have to call the police to find someone missing after 48 hours.

But no matter what, after Xue Jun beat that, his mentality and emotions were obviously steady.

When "College Student Story 2" was broadcast, he directly asked Zuo Le for a leave of absence, and went abroad to play comfortably for two months.

For directors who have always been crazy about dramas, this is a rare phenomenon.

The blessing of Tozole, the workaholic boss, under his influence, director Shanhe rarely takes long vacations except for annual leave.

Even if he takes a long vacation, that is, about a week, at most ten days and half a month, two months, Xue Jun can be said to have directly broken the record.

This also made Gao Xinjian very envious, this year, under the pressure of Kong Sheng, Lao Gao's work intensity was unprecedentedly high.

Since he took his annual leave last year, he immediately started filming "Seven Swords 2", and when he finished filming "Seven Swords 2", he immediately prepared to shoot "Baolian Lantern", and now "Baolian Lantern" is finally finished, and he has to be busy with post-production and publicity while seizing the time to get "Family with Children 5".

"Family with Children 5" is scheduled for next year's Spring Festival, and it is only three months away from now, and the length of 50 episodes plus the later stage is very tight.

Thanks to the crew of "Family with Children 5", they are all elderly, and the filming progress far exceeds that of ordinary crews, which can save a lot of worry from the elderly.

But even so, Gao Xinjian is busy all day and night like a third grandson, and he can't be idle for a moment, seeing that Lao Xue is comfortable taking two months off, how can he not be blushing.

Xue Jun was too lazy to pay attention to Gao Xinjian, who was busy and crazy, but after the two-month vacation period, he should also enter the work state.

Chairman Zuo likes to raise his food, not to work, and to be idlers.........

So, after the escape, Xue Jun immediately changed roles, Director Xue went online, and began to prepare for a new drama - "Detective Di Renjie".

.........

According to the information that Xue Jun heard from the screenwriting department, the script outline of this drama was just thrown to the screenwriting department by Zuo Le two months ago, and there were two of them.

In the words of Chairman Zuo, the company will make this drama into a series of detective dramas like "Six Groups of Serious Cases".

However, the difference is that "Six Groups of Serious Cases" is a modern drama, biased towards the criminal investigation profession, while the new script "Detective Di Renjie" is a costume drama, with a suspenseful style, and there are also certain historical and action elements.

Now, the screenwriting department has only completed the first script, and the second part is still in the creation stage.

This is also the old rule of mountains and rivers, all series, whether the sequel is filmed or not, depends on the results of the previous work, needless to say, the results are good, continue to shoot.

If the results are not good, it will be discussed by the senior management and the crew, comprehensively considered, and measured, and finally decide whether to remediate and recover or stop the entire project and stop the loss in time.

Over the years, Shanhe has been established for so many years, and a lot of series have been filmed, all of which have basically been successful, and only one project has been dismissed.

This drama is also related to Xue Jun, that is, "The Story of the Health Team" that he participated in directing.

Zuo Le disliked his bad results, so he gave the copyright to Kong Wen to do it himself, and Kong Wen reluctantly took over two films afterwards, but the influence of one was weaker than the other, and he was finally forced to finish the entire IP.

In addition to "The Story of the Health Team", the series of dramas that Shanhe is still producing today are not bad, among which "Family with Children" and "Six Groups of Serious Cases" are considered to be large novels.

The former is running for five generations in the same house, and the latter is also preliminarily set for more than five parts.

In contrast, Xue Jun's "College Student Story" is a small feature, with a total of three parts, and next year will be the final chapter of the series.

has filmed two series, Xue Jun is quite experienced, and he knows the benefits of filming the series.

A series with excellent results can save the director from two or three years of performance pressure.

For example, he has "The Story of a College Student" in his hand, even if he messes up other projects, he will not immediately enter the cold palace.

At the same time, if you play the new project well, plus the credit of the series, add it up to the two, and you can earn more money on the bonus performance alone, and you can also increase your own status and voice in the company.

Why Gao Xinjian is almost tired and paralyzed, and he is reluctant to hand over "Family with Children" to others, because as long as he masters this IP, "Family with Children" will not fail, and he can be invincible.

With such hole cards, who is willing to hand them over easily.

That is to say, Kong Shengyi is bold and likes to challenge himself, and he gave "Six Groups of Serious Cases" to Wang Qian, and changed to an ordinary director, which is really unconfident.

The interior of Shanhe is generally optimistic about Kong Shengqiang's high and new construction, which is also one of the reasons, who makes people not eat the old book.

Xue Jun is self-aware, and he doesn't dare to compare with Kong Sheng, "The Story of a College Student" made him taste the sweetness, and he really wants to be the same as Gao Xinjian, who has been gnawing on his old book.

So this time, when he learned that "Detective Di Renjie" was a series, he immediately went to Zuo Le to fight for it.

In fact, at the beginning, Zuo Le didn't plan to use Xue Jun, he took a fancy to Kong Sheng.

"Detective Di Renjie" focuses on suspense, and this theme has not been set foot in mountains and rivers.

The short man is tall, Kong Sheng has filmed "Six Groups of Serious Cases", and has experience in similar detective dramas, "Don't Talk to Strangers" also has certain horror elements, and this drama should be filmed well.

As a result, as soon as Kong Sheng heard that it was a suspenseful crime-solving theme, he refused without even listening to it, and now he is full of reality dramas and serious dramas, and he has no interest in other themes.

So Zuo Le asked him to shoot "The Gate of the Mansion" and temporarily shelved "Detective Di Renjie".

Unexpectedly, he was taken by Xue Jun.

Xue Jun wanted to shoot "Detective Di Renjie", but Zuo Le was actually a little hesitant, mainly because Lao Xue had never been exposed to film and television with related themes.

This is different from the previous "Divine Doctor Xilaile", don't look at the two dramas are "God X" with a name, but the style is completely different.

"Divine Doctor Xilaile" was light in the early stage and suppressed in the later stage, but on the whole it is a standard costume drama, and the difficulty is not insurmountable for Xue Jun.

But "Detective Di Renjie", it is no exaggeration to say that Zuo Le is not very confident that he can touch the pulse of the original version.

Especially the first part of "Detective Di Renjie", the suspense is very strong, and some of the bridges are even a bit of a horror movie.

Especially the headless general plot, it is simply scared to death.

Zuo Le finished watching it in the player, he didn't sleep well for two or three days, he had to turn on the lights at home at night, and he didn't dare to go to the toilet alone in the middle of the night, and it lasted for nearly a week before he got better.

is such a work with a strong suspense style, can Xue Jun, who was born in a sitcom, shoot it well?

Zuo Le was skeptical.

............

Zuo Le didn't hide it, and directly revealed his thoughts and thoughts, Xue Jun began to hesitate a little, and said to go back and think about it.

Two days later, Xue Jun found Zuo Le and said that he was willing to challenge, and even did not hesitate to make a military order.

Zuo Le struggled for a while, but nodded in agreement.

After all, Lao Xue is an old man in the company, and he has worked hard for so many years, and he is embarrassed to save Xue Jun's face for the first time when people strongly request.

However, Zuo Le made a request to Xue Jun, the company would send an executive director to him as a deputy, and during the filming, he would communicate more with this executive director.

To divide the power of an executive director, Xue Jun was naturally a little reluctant, but after Zuo Le introduced the resume of the executive director, he was convinced.

Qian Qiu, 35 years old, a professional screenwriter, has participated in film and television screenwriting since graduating from university, and after more than 10 years, it can be regarded as a small achievement, and he can barely squeeze into the last train of first-class screenwriters.

This person is especially good at suspense creation, and all the scripts he is responsible for writing, no matter what the main plot is or what theme the drama is, there will be more or less some suspense elements.

This guy is also jokingly called a ghost screenwriter in the industry, and this nickname is not to say how powerful he is, but to say that he likes to play "ghosts".

Every screenwriter has a dream of being a director, and Qian Qiu is no exception.

At the beginning of last year, he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother for an investment and filmed a TV series called "The Tanuki for the Prince".

Strictly speaking, the quality of the TV series is good, but the results are quite impressive, the reason is that this guy's filming style is too weird, and the plot is thrilling and scary.

In the past, when I was a screenwriter, I still had a director who pressed me, so I didn't let myself go too much, but this time I let him be the director himself, and I was completely happy, and the whole TV series was more scary than a ghost movie.

The TV station didn't dare to ask for it at all, and in the end, the kiwi fruit was bought at a low price, and not many people watched it, which made Qian Qiu, who blocked most of the family property, almost cry to death.

However, although the end of this filming was extremely miserable, it also made many people remember this director with a unique style.

When the screenwriting department sorted out the script of "Detective Di Renjie", someone recommended Qian Qiu to Zuo Le, and after Zuo Le heard about it, he went to worship the masterpiece, and the lights were turned on at home for a week at night.

But at the same time, Zuo Le also moved his love for talents, and even thought of asking Qian Qiu to shoot this "Detective Di Renjie".

But after thinking about it, Zuo Le dispelled this idea.

First, Shanhe's internal directors have a strict promotion system, and it is impossible for Qian Qiu to directly ascend to the position.

Second, this guy's style is too unique, although the original "Detective Di Renjie" is suspenseful, but after all, it is still within the normal range, let him shoot it, Zuo Le is afraid that he will directly make it a ghost movie.

The detective turned into a ghost fight, and Di Renjie directly became the ninth uncle.........

Therefore, Zuo Le left Qian Qiu behind, until he answered Ying Xue Jun, and he remembered this Qian Qiu again.

Qian Qiu likes to play "ghosts", and Xue Jun is a weakness in this aspect, if the two of them cooperate, with Xue as the main and Qian as the supplement, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and neutralize it, it is a good way.

So after obtaining Xue Jun's consent, Shanhe contacted Qian Qiu, at this time Qian Qiu had just gotten out of the predicament and was looking for an opportunity to turn over, Zuo Le handed an olive branch, and he agreed without saying a word.

As for changing from a director to an executive director, will there be some grievances?

In Qian Qiu, this is not a matter at all.

What level is Shanhe? What level is Xue Jun? Let him be a deputy, it is not an exaggeration to say, it is really to promote himself.

Qian Qiu came to Quancheng in a hurry, Xue Jun communicated with him, and found that he was indeed a little unique, and he was quite satisfied, after Deputy Director Qian was in place, "Detective Di Renjie" also began preliminary preparations.

Zuo Le was busy, and he had to take care of Tian Yan's side, so this time he also delegated the casting work to Xue Jun, and only interfered in the casting of the male protagonist Di Renjie.

But it was this casting that made Xue Jun find Zuo Le again, he was holding a photo, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Chairman, will Liang Damin be too fat to play Di Renjie. ”

Xue Jun's doubts were unceremoniously dismissed by Zuo Le.

"How do you know that Di Renjie is not a fat man, why can't Di Renjie be a fat man, Di Renjie is set in the play to be high and powerful, he is usually a kind old man, and he is not angry and arrogant on his birthday.

Liang Damin has both temperaments, and he is a well-known old drama bone, so he can't play Di Renjie. ”

"But this ......"

Xue Jun was still a little entangled, but Zuo Le continued to use strong words.

"As a director, it is necessary to highlight the characteristics of the characters and deepen the impression of the audience.

Look at how well the old version of Bao Zheng acted, with a long black face and a crescent moon on his forehead, he fixed the image of Bao Zheng at once, and made countless audiences widely recognized.

Even if the experts shouted and cut their throats and came up with all kinds of claims that Bao Zheng was a white-faced scholar in history, no one agreed.

If you have the ability, you can shoot this version of Di Renjie deeply in the hearts of the people, and it is best to let the audience in the future see that another version of the thin Di Renjie is not suitable for it, which is called shaping a classic. ”

Xue Jun flickered away, Zuo Le sat on his boss's chair, thinking of the original Di Renjie, his face was full of determination.

Di Renjie is Di Chubby, thin, all heretical!
