Soon, the two drove to a Starbucks. Chu Yuanxi parked the car on the side of the road, took a look, and saw a burly man sitting at the small table outside the Starbucks door, wearing a tight T-shirt and two straps on his trousers.

"This is Mr. Ray. Chu Yuanxi pointed to Uncle Sheng, and then turned off the engine and got out of the car.

Uncle Sheng is quite unfamiliar with the film and television industry, and he can't call a few of the traffic Xiaosheng Xiaoxian, most of the people he knows are Ge You, Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaolingtong, who are stars of the older generation or two generations, and have no idea whether Lei Dalong is an actor or a little transparent, and he grinds his gun in the car for a while.

Seeing a real person is very different from the feeling of coming out of Baidu. Uncle Sheng doesn't know how to describe it, a young elder, or a wise handsome guy? Most of the images on Lei Dalong's Internet are bearded, but today he combed a rare medium hair style, shaved his beard, and exuded a refreshment in the heaviness, and a breath of atmosphere that seemed to be uncommon in the refreshment, and his temperament was staggering.

He hurriedly followed Chu Yuanxi down, Lei Dalong looked at the eyes and eyes of the two and knew that they were coming, stood up and raised his hand, Chu Yuanxi hurriedly quickened his pace and walked over: "Mr. Lei, I am fortunate to be happy." ”

Uncle Sheng clenched his fists: "Hard work." ”

"Who is this?" Lei Dalong politely stretched out his hand to the seat, and Chu Yuanxi hurriedly said: "Huang Lujun, the main creator of our story, is also a music singer. I think you are all engaged in art, and you may have a common language, so I called Lao Huang here. ”

He knew that Yuan Yu was taking the lady's route, otherwise people might not be happy to see him, so he didn't mention the bandit name "Uncle Sheng", but signed up directly.

Lei Dalong listened to Uncle Sheng's "hard work", and seemed to be very surprised, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he also hugged his fists, and then sat down. "What is this story you're working on? Is "Out of the Mountains" or what? I searched around the Internet, and all I found were advertisements?"

"Comics, just like the villain books of the past, "Romance of the Gods" and "Brother Yixiu". ”

"Oh, I knew that when I said that, I used to watch it when I was a child. Lei Dalong was slightly embarrassed, "I heard that it was posted on WeChat>?

"WeChat public account, that's it. Chu Yuanxi said and opened the mobile phone to operate, and clicked on the service account that released "Out of the Mountain in Troubled Times", "It is updated once a week, in the form of serialization, and those who follow the official account will get the push of this comic." ”

Lei Dalong took Chu Yuanxi's mobile phone and studied it for a long time, and finally smiled awkwardly: "I don't even play WeChat much, I shouldn't understand these trendy things." ”

Uncle Sheng felt the same way: "Me too, I didn't know that WeChat could still play like this when he got it out of the music studio." I heard that you were a martial artist in your early years?"

"Hey, that's all from the 10s. Lei Dalong was talking about something extremely distant, when his eyes suddenly froze, and he saw Uncle Sheng's two eyebrows suddenly stand up.

It is two eyebrows raised upward, in a V-shape, with an angle of 60 degrees.

Lei Dalong himself is a martial artist, and he knows that this homework is the standard for martial arts students. Because Shengdan is also dressed up, Wu Laosheng only rubs powder on his face, so he must hang his eyebrows, but he has a flower face because his face is covered with paint, and he does not have to hang it. Over time, Wu Laosheng went down from the hairline to the cheekbones, and this piece of facial muscles and skin was stretched, and he could stand up his eyebrows without hanging, which was definitely not possible for ordinary people.

Lei Dalong also raised his eyebrows with a "brush", his eyebrows were longer and thicker than Uncle Sheng, and after standing up, the eyebrows were twisted into the shape of "Sichuan", and Uncle Sheng "looked at each other", which was very joyful.

The two laughed almost at the same time, causing a group of people in Starbucks to look out. Chu Yuanxi saw it in the clouds, and didn't understand what they were doing at all?

I only heard Uncle Sheng talking to himself: "When I was a child, I also sang Xu Sheng in the Children's Palace, but unfortunately my voice was deformed after the collapse, so I could only sing Tsing Yi instead." ”

", have you ever sung Peking Opera?" Chu Yuanxi knows what Tsing Yi is, but the problem is that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, aren't men allowed to sing Tsing Yi? When I met Uncle Sheng, Uncle Sheng was not yet 30 years old, and Chu Yuanxi thought he knew him better, but it was the first time he heard about it when he was a child.

Uncle Sheng nodded heavily: "Nandan has no future, so he simply changed to singing folk songs later." ”

Chu Yuan Xixin said that the reason why you are not popular when you sing folk songs has been found.

"Hey, even in the rivers and lakes, they are all hard-working people. Lei Dalong sighed with emotion and asked, "Then, who should you find to be the heroine of film and television?"

"Did you read the script?"

"After looking at it, the story is okay, but the writing is a bit twisted, and the screenwriter doesn't seem to understand the format of the script very well, so shouldn't he find a professional screenwriter?"

"Hahaha, that's a comic script, not a film and television script, our film and television haven't really started yet, so there is no film and television script, you read it written by Lao Huang. Chu Yuanxi hurriedly explained, "This cast, I'll tell you the truth, because the partners and specific models of the film and television side have not been decided, and when the time comes, whether the code cast will be coded according to my wishes, or will the partners be led, and now I don't dare to pack tickets." All I can say is who I lean towards in my mind. ”

"Okay, you can say it, Yuan Yu has explained everything that should be explained, I understand this part, even if I agree, it may not be me. ”

"The heroine, I hope to be Zhang Yiman, the goddess of pajamas in "Donkey Gets Water", or Su Qi in "Two Flowers". ”

Uncle Sheng raised his head: "Zhang Yiman, the goddess of pajamas, looks like the male chess player Iyama Yuta of the island country?"

"Mr. Huang can also play Go?" Lei Dalong was even more surprised, don't look at Uncle Sheng is a fat man who is not good-looking, Wen Zou Zou is a little interesting. "I'm not a traffic Xiaoxian, and neither of them is a traffic flower. Mr. Chu shouldn't go against the general trend, right? ”

"Do you think I'm a layman?"

"Hahahaha, shouldn't you be a layman if you ask me to play the leading role?" Lei Dalong decisively blackened himself, hearty and desolate.

"It's not that I'm looking for art. This is the plan that I think is most beneficial to the company, from all angles, including the economic perspective, and I think it will make more money. ”

"You should be a bit hypocritical, right?" Lei Dalong smiled, "Don't look at me old, I'm an industry insider, and I know the mode of making money with traffic." ”

You're right, but there is no long tail to traffic patterns. To put it bluntly, what I earn is the money of satellite TV and websites, the so-called 'earn before broadcasting', right? I'm not afraid of pitting satellite TV and pit websites, but this kind of making quick money, you know? Even if you make a lot of money, it conflicts with my interests. It's not that I don't want to make money, I want the story to be compelling enough to be able to be told long enough to be able to be told for ten or twenty years. So I need this drama to be broadcast, so that the audience will be well received when they mention it, just like "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Langya Bang". ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Uncle Sheng agreed, Chu Yuanxi's gameplay on the IP has at least understood it so far, "If this drama brings a lot of traffic, and the man's face is paralyzed and the woman's eyes are staring, even if he makes money in a short time, within a year, the audience will only remember how to vomit, or forget about it." We don't want that effect. ”

"Yes, so it doesn't matter if I make 100 million less in the play, as long as I can be on the star. Chu Yuanxi tried his best to consider the words: "This is also the reason why I can't guarantee the power of the code cast." I need to use a partner to get on the star, so the other party may have what they want to insist on, interests and so on. I can only communicate as much as possible. ”

Uncle Sheng was a little puzzled: "Aren't we IP giants? We have such good conditions, and we are not bad for money, so we can't take the initiative?"

"Alas, we know that our IP is very hard, others don't know it, and satellite TV doesn't necessarily recognize it, even if we do, which of the current IP adaptations is not hard? Is "Fighting Horse Harder" harder than us, right? After a month of broadcasting, it has become a stalk. So this is a contradiction, the qualifications of the partners are weak and useless to us, and the strong ones rob us of the right to speak, in the final analysis, it is our own heritage, this is the first serious film and television project. ”

"I should have understood. Lei Dalong remained silent, smiled and said: "The boss is atmospheric enough, it doesn't matter if you make 100 million less, some people in the film and television industry can't be angry when they hear this?"

Chu Yuanxi has always been observing words and feelings, and as a result of Lei Dalong's experience, he should belong to a kind of "Buddhist perfection" contradictory personality, with strong principles and no compromises, he likes to pursue perfection in doing things, and has extremely high requirements for himself. But life has smoothed out his outward side, the indiscriminate and perfect personality is constantly compromising in the unsmooth path of life, the requirements for others have been great, and he no longer pursues to make the whole world perfect, it doesn't matter if others are perfect or not, as long as his world is perfect.

This judgment made Chu Yuanxi's heart sink. People who only pursue their own perfection have stepped on the road of the world with both feet, shouldered a few sorrows, and given up some, but the bottom line is stronger. It should be possible to ask him to play the male lead, at least Lei Dalong did not show an attitude of rejection, but if you want him to endorse the mobile game, it is more difficult to impress him than you imagined, I am afraid that you can only use the method of wanting to capture and indulge, so that he will be interested?

Therefore, Chu Yuanxi said: "This is not a problem of the atmosphere, for 50 episodes of dramas, the website procurement will drop by 1 million per episode, and the satellite TV procurement will also drop by 1 million, isn't it 100 million? But this is not a problem for me, just find a way to let the partner not suffer." I make money by IP development, not by TV dramas, I promise investors to earn 900 million a year, written in the contract, TV series make more money and earn less, and I don't rush. ”

For the first time since Lei Dalong spoke, he showed a solemn expression.
