215. The scramble for the Emperor
Many netizens on the Internet were actually shocked by this rating, although most people don't quite understand the meaning, but if someone explains it a little, everyone understands what this rating represents.
For a while, there was more and more news about "Love Apartment" on the Internet, of course, because of this, there were more people scolding, and even some people in the industry were scolding the audience for being too easy to fool.
In their opinion, such a TV series can't be on the stage at all, but the ratings have exploded, which hurts their hearts.
But the actual situation is not transferred by their will, and the ratings of "Love Apartment" have indeed broken ten.
No matter what they say, just say, 'People are over ten, what about you?' and it will make these people all dumbfounded.
Such ratings were indeed beyond everyone's expectations, and even Xu Shi was shocked when he knew the news.
He knew that as long as the audience accepted the funny way of "Love Apartment", the ratings would definitely not be low, but he didn't expect it to be so high.
Breaking ten ratings, such a result is simply scary!
That night, Xu Shi received a lot of congratulatory calls, and it is conceivable that the copyright price of the next two and three rounds will definitely skyrocket.
At the same time, the price of online copyright will also increase.
It is worth mentioning that the online copyright of "Love Apartment" has not been sold, which is why the ratings are so high this time.
At that time, there were also many video websites to talk about online rights, but since it was just a sitcom, the price they gave was not high.
Xu Mei thought about it carefully, she didn't sell it, she would rather gamble, after all, Xu Shi said, either she will hit the street, or she will soar into the sky.
And even if it hits the street, the price will not be much lower than the price quoted by these video sites, rather than this, it is better to gamble.
Now that she has won the bet, the price of the next network copyright has skyrocketed many times, and now the video websites blocked in Jingwumen are basically all here.
Xu Shi also returned to the capital on the third day after the broadcast of "Love Apartment", and all the scenes in India were filmed, and the rest were some domestic scenes.
Xu Shi dealt with the crew's affairs first, and then returned to Jingwumen, and then there was a little more thing to deal with.
"It's a pity, if "Love Apartment" could be broadcast earlier, maybe it would be able to catch up with this year's Golden Eagle Award, and now I can only look forward to next year's Feitian Award. Xu Mei said with some regret.
Xu Shi returned to the company this time for the award.
"Auntie, it's different, the Feitian Award and the Golden Eagle Award look like TV awards, but the actual situation is a little different.
The main award-winning works of the Feitian Award are some dramas, which generally focus on the ideology of the TV series and the recognition at the national level, while the Golden Eagle Award is different, it only requires ratings. Xu Mingjie explained.
Both the Golden Eagle Award and the Flying Award are held every two years, one in even-numbered years and the other in odd-numbered years, on a rotational basis.
Xu Mei was stunned, she really didn't know much about this, she knew a lot about the awards for movies, after all, Jingwumen used to make movies.
This time, it was because when he was in the magic capital, Director Gao mentioned that he understood a little.
If it is according to what Xu Mingjie said, then "Love Apartment" really can't win the Feitian Award.
No matter who needs to admit one thing, that is, no matter how high the ratings of "Love Apartment" are, it really doesn't have too much ideology.
"Then we won't be able to win the award next year?" Xu Mei said with some disbelief, this is just a record-breaking, how can it not be awarded at all.
Xu Mingjie shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't know about this, but even if it is given, it will only give one or two consolation prizes, and will not give the grand prize, the award principle is here, and the general situation will not change." ”
"Okay, fortunately, there is still the Magnolia Award, and the people over there in the magic capital have already told me, and there will definitely be a place for "Love Apartment" at that time. "This is the promise that Director Gao made to Xu Mei.
Magnolia will be regarded as a local award in the magic capital, but now it is getting bigger and bigger, and it has some international meanings in it.
Xu Shi clapped his hands with a smile and said: "Okay, let's talk about the Golden Eagle Award first, this time Dapeng and Mingjie were both nominated for the most popular actor, what do you think?" ”
Although "Love Apartment" was missed due to time this time, "Fengyun" was nominated.
The Golden Eagle Award has seven awards, namely Best TV Series, Outstanding TV Series, Most Popular Actor, Most Popular Actress, Best Screenwriter, Best Director, Best Camera, Best Lighting, and Best Art.
And because "Fengyun" is the setting of two male leads, Cheng Dapeng and Xu Mingjie were both nominated for the most popular actor by the audience, and it is precisely because of this that there is no nomination for actresses.
Not only that, but both Best Director and Best Screenplay were nominated.
This time, Xu Shi came back to discuss and see whether the company supported Cheng Dapeng or Xu Mingjie.
Although it is said that the most popular actor is voted by the audience, the actual situation on the company's side is also a large part of the factor.
There are many things that can be done about this kind of voting, and it is also within the allowable rules of the rules.
If Jingwumen ignores it and really lets the audience choose, I believe that neither Cheng Dapeng nor Xu Mingjie will win the award in the end.
Cheng Dapeng took the lead in speaking, "Senior Brother Xu, Sister Mei, I'll give up, I'm already satisfied with being nominated this time, and compared with Mingjie, my disadvantage is too great, I can't compete with Mingjie and other actors at all, so I won't waste the company's resources." ”
He is telling the truth, indeed, his disadvantages are not ordinarily big, and his fan base is too poor in comparison.
And the route he took coincided with Xu Shi, which means that many of his invisible fans are basically on Xu Shi's side.
Even if he only evaluates the award based on his acting skills, he is a little worse, after all, he was born at the grassroots and has not undergone professional training.
Although Jingwumen has always had make-up classes from professional teachers in the past two years, and Cheng Dapeng has also studied seriously, there is still a little gap.
It may take five to ten years before there is no such gap, and even surpass Xu Mingjie, who was born in a professional class, in terms of acting skills.
But now it's a lot worse.
And Xu Mingjie is not only Jingwumen, but also his own company corn.
Although Cheng Dapeng and others subconsciously regard Xu Mingjie as a person from the Jingwu Sect, the actual situation is that Xu Mingjie's current contract is still on the corn side.
This time, corn will definitely contribute, so even if he wants to compete, the company will treat everyone equally, but Xu Mingjie is much worse in all aspects.
It is impossible for Cheng Dapeng not to let the company not help Xu Mingjie, although Xu Mingjie's contract is on the corn side, but everyone knows that as long as Xu Shi is willing, Xu Mingjie and Xu Xiaoxiao will be directly transferred to Jingwumen at any time.
They're the people of the Jingwu Sect!
Although Cheng Dapeng said it freely, it was still difficult to hide the loss in his eyes, after all, this was the emperor, and he wanted to get it, which was also an opportunity to prove himself.
But the actual situation does not allow him to do this, his own conditions are indeed not as good as Xu Mingjie, rather than wasting the company's resources, it is better to be generous and give up directly.
He and Xu Mingjie really can't compete.
Even if Jingwumen treats him fairly, he and Xu Mingjie's fan base and audience base are much worse.
Xu Mei didn't speak, she actually meant the same thing.
It's not that she is biased towards Xu Mingjie, but that's the actual situation.
Xu Shi thought for a moment and said: "That's it, the company is still treated fairly, and you can't give up just because you have a disadvantage, maybe you will counterattack."
Anyway, we are not short of money now, and when the time comes, the company will provide the same resources for the two of you, and we will not treat them differently.
But you have to work your own in other aspects, and the company can't help much. ”
Xu Shi finally decided to treat it fairly, in fact, at the beginning, he also thought about letting Cheng Dapeng give up, after all, the gap between the two sides was too obvious.
But he saw the loss in Cheng Dapeng's eyes just now, and then changed his mind.
No matter what, Cheng Dapeng also needs to be given a chance to prove himself, even if such a chance is very slim, but Xu Shi is not prepared to hold him back in the company.
Cheng Dapeng heard Xu Shi's words and immediately said: "Senior Brother Xu, there is really no need to do this, I know that I am two catties, and this is a complete waste of the company's resources." ”
He was a little moved, he understood that Xu Shi was not just saying something nice, but really preparing to do it.
Xu Mei and Xu Mingjie didn't speak, Xu Mei didn't want to refute him on the things that Xu Shi had decided, and she also understood that this could make Cheng Dapeng more identified with Jingwumen.
The current Cheng Dapeng is not as good as before, and his value is getting higher and higher with time.
Although his value is all because of the support of the Jingwu Sect, no one knows if he will leave the Jingwu Sect.
Even Cheng Dapeng has always been very sympathetic to Jingwumen, but no one is sure in the face of the temptation of interests.
"That's it, the company is not short of that money, and can you be willing? Don't talk to me about those useless things, tell me the truth, are you willing?" Xu Shi said.
Cheng Dapeng pursed his lips, but in the end he didn't say it, he didn't want to deceive Xu Shi, let alone deceive himself, he was indeed a little unwilling.
This is an opportunity to prove yourself, and if you just give it up, who will be willing?
Xu Shi looked at him like this, stood up and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "This is also what you deserve, you can rest assured that you will treat Xu Mingjie equally, and then it depends on your own efforts." ”
But then Xu Shi said with a serious expression: "I also remind the two of you, no matter how much you compete, don't make other moths for me, everything in the competition between the two of you must be fair and just."
As for other companies, as long as they dare to make a bad move, our company will come forward to settle it, you can rest assured. ”
Xu Mingjie took the lead in saying: "Uncle, don't worry, it won't be like this." ”
Cheng Dapeng also hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Xu, I know." ”
Now that the matter has been decided, Xu Shi immediately discussed with Xu Mei how much resources and funds to give, at least some publicity funds are necessary.
Although this is a personal award, the money in this area does not need to be paid by them.
After they left, Xu Mei told Xu Shi about Fang Lin's idea of wanting the right to use the love apartment.
Xu Shi thought for a while and said: "It's better to refuse, although the offer of 10 million is okay, but we are not short of money now, if they get some tofu slag projects, our company's reputation will also be damaged, and the gains will outweigh the losses at that time." ”
Xu Shi didn't want to take this order, and the risk outweighed the loss for him.
Xu Mei has a new idea here, "You see if this will work, we can set up a real estate company with them, and we will build *** love apartments", and the majority of such interests are still on our side." ”
Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, looked at Xu Mei and said: "You want to enter the real estate industry? This is not a trivial matter, and we don't know anything about real estate, is it really good to rush in like this?"
He didn't expect Xu Mei's heart to be so big, and he directly wanted to enter the real estate industry with this.
Xu Mei said confidently: "These are not problems, although we don't understand, but they understand, if it doesn't work, we can still hire professionals."
And in this way, we don't have to worry about the quality of the project, so we can also maximize the benefits. ”
In fact, this is also Xu Mei's idea after meeting Fang Lin, and it was from Fang Lin that she realized that the name 'Love Apartment' actually has a lot of value to be mined.
As long as there is no problem with the quality, there is nothing in terms of a slightly higher price, anyway, millions are spent, and I don't care about that.
"We don't have manpower now, now the Jingwu Sect can't do without you, if you are directly in charge of the two companies, will you be too tired?
He didn't want to enter the real estate industry, probably because of the resentment that he couldn't afford to buy a house in his previous life, and he never had a good impression of the real estate company.
And the problem he said is also a big problem, now Xu Shi has no time to manage the company, but to deal with some major matters of the Jingwu Sect Xu Shi feels a little powerless, so Xu Shi is now inseparable from Xu Mei.
Xu Shi had already calculated, "You don't have to worry about this, I have already talked to Jiang Yue, and when the time comes, I will directly let her serve as the financial director in the company, as for professional understanding, don't forget, this is cooperation, the company over there will produce professionals, and we only need to grasp the quality problem when the time comes." ”
Xu Shi saw that she had already thought about everything, and finally could only say helplessly: "Wait for the time being, you let me think about it, although the company itself is relatively abundant now, but suddenly entering the real estate may not be able to hold it."
This matter still needs to be discussed and discussed, and we can't rush it for a while. ”
"I know, isn't this being discussed with you? Xu Mei said.
Her current dedication is really too strong, which caught Xu Shidu off guard.
Xu Shi is going to think about it first, at least after the release of "God of Medicine" and "The Witch".
At that time, we will have to look at the box office of these two movies, if it hits the street, then there is no need to say anything, the company's funds still need to be used to invest in the movie, if the box office is okay, then let's talk about it.
However, before Xu Shi returned to the crew, someone came to the door again, and this time it was Han Shang.
"Mr. Xu, I want to sign a contract with your company. This was Han Shang's first sentence when he saw Xu Shi.
Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Welcome, very welcome!"
Han Shang was originally a little nervous, but when he heard Xu Shi's words without hesitation, he immediately relaxed.
He actually made a great determination to make such a decision, of course, the main reason is because of the nomination for Best Director of "Fengyun" and the ratings of "Love Apartment"!
Because of these two reasons, he really made up his mind to join Jingwumen!
