Chapter 730: Two Projects

The name of the film and television company is "Young Guy", which sounds very energetic and very much in line with the age of the seven shareholders. However, the English name of the company is "young", which is exactly the same as Xiao Yao's English name, and the company's legal person is also Xiao Yao, obviously their group of people is led by Xiao Yao, who is currently the most famous.

Last year's summer animated movie "Wall-E" can be regarded as a hit. In addition to various production positions such as director and dubbing, Xiao Yao is also the main investor of this film, and has made a lot of money with this animated film. Subsequently, Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and others jointly invested in and produced the parkour movie released during the Spring Festival this year, which also achieved great success at the box office.

Judging from these two examples, at least the results of the first two film and television works invested by Xiao Yao and the first film and television work invested by Zhao Rui and others are good. Now they have established a film and television company, obviously to continue to invest in the film and television industry. So after the establishment of this film and television company, what kind of film and television works they will come up with will be very interesting.

Since the news of Xiao Yao and others establishing a film and television production company was exposed, many people on the Internet have speculated about what they will do.

Before the establishment of the company, Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan, Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong prepared the two crews were only doing script creation, personnel selection, and various preliminary preparations.

At this time, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet about their establishment of a film and television company, and they also took the opportunity to announce the two project plans on the company's official social account.

After the establishment of the film and television company, the official verified online social account was also opened. Since Xiao Yao and the other seven founders were originally stars, they all had a lot of fans, and after the official social account of this film and television company was opened, it also had a huge number of followers in a short period of time. After the film and television company's official social account announced some specific details of these two projects, there were also many discussions on the Internet about these two projects.

It is not uncommon for a company to open two projects at the same time, which is not surprising, but judging from the published information, the specific situation of these two projects is...

When it comes to performing arts stars investing in shares or creating film and television companies, many people will think of words like "bringing capital into the group" or even "bringing capital to build a group". For example, Li Ya, who is more famous in the entertainment industry, has made many artists popular in the company by investing in TV series starring herself and arranging for her own company's artists to participate.

Although this "young man" film and television company has not signed artists, five of the seven bosses are acting students of the film and television academy, and the other two are also "electrocuted" stars. Xiao Yao and others invested in the parkour movie starring themselves, and now after they set up a company, it is also a routine operation to invest in film and television works starring themselves.

When it comes to film and television works, of course, the big productions with a luxurious star lineup are more attractive. Six of the seven shareholders of this company are the second generation of stars, five of which are the descendants of performing arts stars, and five performing arts families are involved behind them.

Although Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Zhu Zitong, Lin Qisan and Nina Aiyiguli have different fames, the number of works, and the richness of their acting experience, and their acting skills are different, they are basically online in their acting skills. has money and resources and there is no shortage of acting skills, so it is also a routine operation to participate in or set up a large-scale production with funds.

What people didn't expect was that the first two projects of their film and television company were all unconventional operations in the minds of the media and netizens!

The two projects announced on the official social account of the film and television company are a TV series called "Urban Youth", which tells the life and work of six urban youths in a big city, and a movie called "Youth Never Ends", which tells the campus story of high school students. In this respect, it is very compatible with the name of their "young man" company. But judging from the released credits, it is a big surprise.

First of all, in the TV drama project, in addition to the names of Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan in the positions of producer and producer, only Xiao Yao's name appears in the script editing column. From the director, screenwriter, to the cast list, there is no star boss of any company. The situation of film projects is similar, but the names of producers and producers have been changed from Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan to Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong, and there is no star boss of the company in the director, screenwriter, and actor list.

This also means that this film and television company does not have a star boss to participate in these two film and television projects, and with these two projects to further enhance its fame, it has nothing to do with what "bringing capital into the group" and "bringing capital to build the group", and it is completely as an investor and planner to open these two film and television projects.

Secondly, it is okay if star bosses such as Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui do not participate, from directors, screenwriters, actors to art, photography and other departments, none of the cast and crew lists announced by these two projects can be called stars at all. For the average viewer, all the people on the list are small transparents that they don't know.

Although the production cost of the two projects has not been disclosed, a TV series of urban life and a youth campus movie are not science fiction, not costumes, not action, it is conceivable that there will not be too much special effects cost, and the production cost of these two projects can be expected when all the cast and crew are not big-name stars.

At this time, many people can't understand it.

If they don't participate in the show, and they don't have any star directors, screenwriters and actors with appeal, do they think that Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui can have enough appeal to let the audience turn on the TV and go into the theater to watch their TV series and this movie just by relying on their position as producer and planner? Or do they want to start two small-cost projects to test the water after Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui, who made two big moves in a row last year and this year, set up a film and television company?

Compared with ordinary audiences, media reporters are still more capable. For ordinary audiences, the cast and crew of these two projects are basically small and transparent that they have never heard of, but media reporters took these two cast and crew lists and quickly found out the identities of these people.

In the TV drama project, the cast and crew are basically seniors of Shen Opera, including several junior students of the directing department who just graduated last year and will graduate next year, but without exception, all of these people are Shen Opera. In the film project, the director graduated from the Yandian Directing Department last year, the screenwriter is a senior student in the Yandian Literature Department this year, and the others are all newcomers who graduated last year and are about to graduate this year, and all of them are Yandian's without exception.

After this special situation was reported by the media, everyone's enthusiasm for the discussion of these two projects rose again.

Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan, two students of Shendian, formed a TV drama crew composed entirely of Shenju students, and Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong, two students of Yandian, formed a film crew composed of all Yandian students. Now that they have become famous, they have begun to promote their classmates and alumni! People say that "if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world." It seems that they have not yet reached the level of "helping the world" and have begun to "help their alma mater and the alumni of the same class."

After this news came out, it not only brought fire to the two schools of Shenju and Yandian, making it a hot topic on the Internet, but also brought fire to Huaju by the way.

In China, there are three most famous and recognized film and television schools, namely Yandian, Huaju and Shenxi. After the cast and crew of Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui's two film and television projects were reported by the media, many netizens also began to shout to the stars from Chinese opera on the Internet.

In any industry, it is difficult for newcomers to get ahead. In the entertainment industry, even people from the three famous universities may not be able to develop well. Therefore, after the casts and crews of these two projects were reported by the media, students from other film and television colleges were also very envious, especially Huaxi, which is also one of the three major colleges, and many students publicly forwarded the news that some netizens shouted that Huaju stars would open projects for new students of Huaju on their social accounts.

The film and television industry is still very experience-oriented and qualified. praised a few rookie actors and said, but in front of and behind the scenes, all students or newcomers who have just graduated are enabled, and such a crew is unlikely to succeed in the eyes of most people. Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui are willing to do this, and no one in the ordinary world wants to get along with money and do this kind of thing to lose money and help others make money.

In the face of the turbulence on the Internet, most of the Chinese opera stars who were Aite took it as a joke and laughed it off. And the people who were a little entertaining forwarded the news of these shouts.

Who are the planners of these two projects? Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan are senior students of Shenju, Zhao Rui is a student of Yandian who graduated last year, and Zhu Zitong is a senior of Yandian.

In this way, it seems that there is some truth, and many netizens who shouted also changed their objects and began to shout to the star students of Huaju.

In Chinese opera, the people whose identities are closest to Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui are Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting.

These two are not only similar in age to Zhao Rui and Xiao Yao, but also in the same year as Xiao Yao, and they are also seniors. Although the previous generation of these two people is not as famous as Ye Jiaying and Zhao Tao, they are indeed the second generation of stars, and they also have many film and television works like Zhao Rui, and they are also child stars. Among the senior students of this year's Chinese opera, these two are also the two most well-known, and they also have a good personal relationship with Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and others, and they also invested in and participated in that parkour movie together, and they also made money from that movie.

Whether it is in terms of their own fame, experience, qualifications in the circle, family background or their own financial resources, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting are among the top seniors in Shenxi. If Xiao Yao, Lin Qisan, Zhao Rui, and Zhu Zitong are the outstanding student representatives of Shenju and Yandian in recent years, then Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting are undoubtedly the representatives of Huaju in the past two years. As a result, the news of those shouting that Chinese opera stars would open projects for Chinese opera students was finally concentrated in Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting.

Faced with this situation, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting were also helpless.

learned from the Internet that when Xiao Yao and others opened a film and television company, the two also had the idea of contacting them to become a shareholder. However, after carefully looking at the list of shareholders of the company, they found that among the seven people, five of them met in "Where Are You Going, Dad", they were Fa Xiao'er who grew up together since childhood, and they had a relationship for more than ten years, and the other two were the girlfriends of two of them. Although the two of them have been friends with Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui for seven or eight years, it is obvious that there is still some gap between them and the people here.

If you want to say that celebrities who have a good relationship with these people, in fact, it is not the two of them other than each other. For example, Huang Shi, Su Chengying, such as Cheng Xi and Yin Xi, these people either have known Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui for no less time than them, or their relationship is not as deep as theirs. Since they didn't tell them when they opened the company, they didn't invite them to join the shares, obviously they didn't have this idea, so the two finally dispelled this idea and didn't mention it to Xiao Yao and others.

Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui and others were already very unhappy when they opened a company and didn't bring themselves to play together, but now because of their two projects in this company, the two of them are still inexplicably lying down, and they have become the target of public criticism on the Internet, and they were shouted by a group of people to take out the money to invest in the projects of their classmates, and the hearts of the two were even more depressed.

Taking advantage of the depression of lying down this time, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting specially called Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui, and sent a lot of "complaints" to these two unrighteous teammates!

After complaining, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting also found more plausible reasons from Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui.

"Yandian's film project was started by Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong, so it has nothing to do with Xiao Yao? Shenxi's TV drama project was started by Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan, so it has nothing to do with Zhao Rui? Neither of them! These two projects are the projects of the "young people" film and television company, that is to say, the money to invest in these two projects comes from the seven of them! Also, the script of Yandian's film project is not completely original, but adapted from the static film made by Xiao Yao for Zhao Rui's Yandian graduates last year, but Xiao Yao didn't want to sign it. They didn't take us to play when they opened a film and television company, and Xiao Yao didn't provide me with script ideas, so what do Chen Xiaoting and I compare with their seven companies?"

After Xu Fei's long Weibo post was issued, the news on the Internet that shouted that the two of them started a project finally disappeared slowly, and instead, some netizens ran to Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui's Weibo to complain that the two were not righteous.

From shouting Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting to start a project, it was originally an entertainment move for netizens, and when netizens complained that Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui were not righteous, it was still the entertainment of netizens. The former reason in Xu Fei's long post on Weibo was taught by Xiao Yao, and the latter was broken by Zhao Rui, and he also instructed Xu Fei to say so, so such a thing will not affect the relationship between them.

In fact, from the heart, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting were indeed stimulated by these two projects of Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui. It's just that without the participation of Xiao Yao, the demon, let the two of them go it alone, and the hearts of the two of them are really bottomless, if they find other film and television companies and senior industry practitioners to do it together, it will be meaningless.

From Xiao Yao's point of view, it is true that Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting were not taken into account when opening a film and television company, but if the two of them also wanted to play like this, Xiao Yao would not mind helping out.

It's just that Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui's two projects started looking for candidates almost half a year ago and prepared in advance, and now they are also looking for such a time node for the graduation season. If Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting start preparing now, it is unlikely that they will be able to complete the preliminary preparations and crew formation before graduation, and they will not be able to start the film before graduation, so there will be less such a layer of meaning and gimmicks.

A year later, the "young man" film and television company and Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting jointly invested in a TV drama project, with Xiao Yao providing script creativity, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting as the planner and producer, and the crew members were all composed of senior students of Huaju and students who had just graduated from the same class as Xu Fei, completing the student projects of the three major film and television schools. Of course, that's all for later.

In the discussion of netizens, the preparations of the two crews are ready and ready to be officially started.

The filming location of the TV series is in Shencheng, and the filming location of the movie is in Yanjing. One day in May, the two crews held a start-up press conference in Yanjing and Shencheng respectively.

It stands to reason that the same company's projects should be held separately in order to attract more media and achieve better publicity results. However, the two crews held start-up press conferences at different places at the same time, and the members of the crews were students and newcomers from Yandian and Shenju schools respectively, which made it obvious that they competed with each other.
