This celebration banquet was held very smoothly, and everyone present was very happy, except for Director Wu, who wanted to compete with Director Gao for the position of director of Modu TV.

Especially when he saw the proud appearance of Gao Taichang, he was even more angry, but he didn't dare to go wild on such an occasion, otherwise he really wouldn't have a chance at all, but now it's okay, but he was taken the lead by Gao Taichang.

Director Qian smiled and said to Xu Shi: "Mr. Xu, congratulations on your successful breakthrough in "Fengyun". ”

Xu Shiye smiled and said, "Rejoice and rejoice." ”

"I don't know if Mr. Xu is going to shoot a new martial arts drama next? Director Qian said his purpose.

In fact, these things don't have much to do with him, no matter what, he has decided to retire, even if he has good political achievements, it will not be of much use to him, at most it will raise his salary when he retired by half a level.

But after working in Modu TV for so many years, Director Qian still hopes that Modu TV can get better and better.

This "Fengyun" made Director Qian see hope, he still hasn't forgotten the fundamentals of the TV station, and there will be better development with good-looking programs.

Hearing Director Qian's words, Xu Shi rubbed his head with a headache and said, "I'm really sorry, our company doesn't have this idea for the time being." ”

The filming of two movies is about to start, and if there is another TV series, not to mention the rest, there are not enough actors.

As soon as his words came out, Director Wu's somewhat nervous face suddenly eased, this is the best, if Xu Shi is filming a TV series with high ratings, then he is really not qualified to compete with Director Gao.

Director Qian said with some surprise: "Is it a problem of funds? If this is the case, we can invest in Modu TV, and if it doesn't work, we can also lend it to you temporarily." ”

Director Qian really wants to introduce a good TV series again, so the conditions given are extremely preferential.

This is equivalent to directly paying Xu Shi and them to shoot a TV series, and then using the money in the station to buy it, Xu Shi can completely do business without capital.

Xu Shi said: "It's not about capital, our company is not short of money for the time being, but it's just that there is a shortage of manpower now."

To tell you the truth, now our company is planning to start shooting two films at the same time, and there is already a shortage of manpower, so ......"

"That's right. Director Qian said with some regret, and Director Gao was also full of regret, but he didn't open his mouth to say anything.

In fact, he could guess that if he opened his mouth, Xu Shi would probably agree.

It can be seen from various previous deeds that Xu Shi is a very righteous person, he has helped him before, as long as he speaks, Xu Shi will not refuse.

But this is not the style of Director Gao, and he doesn't want to use this favor like this.

When Xu Shi saw their appearance, especially Director Gao's expression, he suddenly thought of the script he had discussed with Liu Yan some time ago.

"Director Qian, in fact, our company is also preparing to shoot a TV series again, but it is indeed a sitcom, and the cost and actors are not very high, I don't know if you are interested in this?" Xu Shi said suddenly.

He naturally thought of "Love Apartment", this script has been completed, and as Xu Shixiang thought, he provided his own ideas and some character settings, plus a few small plots.

Wang Feiyun and a few others have already completed this script quickly, and there is not too much difficulty, just need to be funny.

And the gap with the previous life is not too big, such as the setting of Zhang Dacang that Xu Shi gave them, personality, emotional experience, and allergy to crayfish, of course, the most important thing is that the birth point is the toilet, plus their brain holes, the difference between the plot after the future and the previous life is not big, just a gap in some details.

Hearing Xu Shi say this, Director Qian thought for a while and said, "Of course I'm interested, but I may not be able to arrange it for you directly in the prime time, and you also know that Modu TV is not my word."

If it's still a martial arts drama, I can directly arrange a prime time, but ......"

Xu Shi nodded understandingly: "Of course I understand, but I am very confident in this TV series, as long as I give it a few days, it will definitely rush into the prime time, and it is not impossible to even break through the limit of "Fengyun" in the ratings." ”

Xu Shi is very confident in "Love Apartment", although the connotation and some rationality are a little worse, but it is absolutely funny.

One of the reasons why this plan is proposed now is that there are not many actors needed, and some cooperation can be reached with some companies, which is good for the development of Jingwumen.

Director Qian was a little surprised to see Xu Shi so confident, I don't know where Xu Shi's confidence came from, although sitcoms are more popular with the audience, but it is not so simple to shoot well.

Without an excellent script, the shooting effect will be very poor, and such a TV series will eat the script very much.

However, since Xu Shi was confident, he was also willing to believe Xu Shi once, and then said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then the future work will let Director Wu contact your company, you know, I, the old man, is really not energetic." ”

As soon as he said this, Director Gao's face became ugly, and he looked at Director Qian in disbelief, you must know that before this, Director Qian had never interfered in the competition between the two of them.

Why did you suddenly change your attitude and start supporting Director Wu now?

Director Wu was happy, he didn't care what the ratings of Xu Shi's TV series were, he knew that the relationship he was looking for some time ago had an effect, and Director Qian finally decided to support himself in the last period of time, so that his chances of winning would be great.

"Haha, Mr. Xu, I believe that we will cooperate very happily, you can rest assured, as long as it is a reasonable request of your company, I will meet it." Director Wu said with some excitement.

Xu Shi frowned, although he didn't know much about the relationship inside, but he also knew some things inside.

After "Fengyun" was broadcast, Xu Mei had already told Xu Shi about the powerful relationship.

Director Gao took a risk to promise them, although the result was good, but this was not a reason for them to forget Director Gao's help.

Now Director Qian wants to help Director Wu, if it is in other matters, Xu Shi can't take care of it, but in this matter, Xu Shi really can't sit idly by.

He was never ungrateful!

Xu Shi smiled and said: "Thank you Director Wu for your promotion, but we cooperated with Director Gao very happily last time, so I hope that Director Gao can still be in charge of this matter this time." ”

As soon as Xu Shi said this, Director Gao's face was complicated, but Director Qian and Director Wu were a little ugly, they didn't expect Xu Shi to be so faceless.

Director Gao glanced at the two of them, sighed and was about to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Xu Shi, only to hear him continue: "I don't know some things between you, but I only know that you can't be ungrateful, Director Gao is kind to our company, this is a fact, so no matter what, we will firmly stand on Director Gao's side, even if the company can't support it, it will be so, this is the principle of life." ”

Xu Shi's tough attitude made Director Qian and the others look ugly, they had never seen an entertainment company with such an attitude towards them, you must know that they are also the parents of these companies.

Xu Shi is not afraid of offending them and making them unable to go on in terms of TV dramas?

You must know that they don't just represent Modu TV, the interests in it are very complicated, and they don't believe that Xu Shi doesn't understand.

Director Gao understood the stake very well, so he took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, Xu Shi, I need to be busy with some things during this time, and I don't have time to deal with these things, so it's better for Director Wu to take over." ”

He didn't want to admit defeat just like that, although even if Director Qian decided to support Director Wu, he would not necessarily lose, but at least there was a high probability of losing.

He didn't want Xu Shi to fall into an embarrassing situation, especially when Xu Shi was so affectionate and righteous, he couldn't do so.

People are like this, if they are all in a relationship of mutual use, no one has a psychological burden, but if one party is sincere, then the other party will involuntarily think about him, and people's hearts are so complicated.

Xu Shi smiled and said, "Then we don't have time in the Jingwu Sect, you should also know that we will be very busy next." ”

Xu Shi was so tough that Director Gao was surprised, and at the same time, he was also a little moved in his heart.

I chose to help Xu Shi last time, and it seems that it is really the right choice!

In fact, in Xu Shi's heart, he is really not afraid, and it is impossible for these two people to cover the sky with one hand, if they can't do it, he can't do it, and CCTV will also be affected.

Even if TV series such as "Love Apartment" can't be broadcast on CCTV, but he doesn't believe that TV series like "Baolian Lantern" can't be on CCTV?

With enough chips in his hand, Xu Shishi is not afraid at all.

I don't know if it was Xu Shi's tough attitude, or whether his attitude of not being afraid of heaven and earth affected Director Qian, or Director Qian didn't want to cause trouble during the last period of his tenure, or Director Qian actually didn't support Director Wu so firmly, anyway, he finally chose to compromise.

In fact, everyone understands that this time I am not talking to Xu Shi about the sitcom "Love Apartment".

For this sitcom, these people actually don't have much confidence, and everyone is talking about Xu Shi's next martial arts drama.

But now it is obvious that Director Gao has won, which is the result of Xu Shi's full support, and this incident has also deepened the relationship between Director Gao and Xu Shi.

Next, Xu Shi stayed in the magic capital for a day and returned to the capital again, and there are still many things he needs to do now, the most important thing is to negotiate the movie with Maize and Mingyue.

In fact, in this regard, Xu Shi already has a better method, so that he can make the most efficient use of the resources of these two companies.

However, when Xu Shi returned to the capital, he did not go to these two, but found Liu Yan.

"The "Love Apartment" I told you last time can be put on the agenda, in terms of the selection of actors for this TV series, you should first have a snack, roughly screen it, and then I will make a decision in the end. Xu Shi temporarily handed over the task to Liu Yan.

Liu Yan likes this kind of thing very much, which can increase the resources in her hands, and she can also use this opportunity to strengthen her connections.

"What kind of requirements do you have?" asked Liu Yan.

Xu Shi thought for a moment and said: "This time Mingjie is one of the leading actors, and the role of Zeng Xiaoxian or Lu Ziqiao will be handed over to him, as for which role to play, it depends on his own choice." ”

In fact, Zhang Wei is also a good choice, but he only appeared once in the first part.

These three people are the popular players in "Love Apartment", and they are also the most popular characters in this TV series, and Xu Shi certainly wants to give the benefits to his family.

"I see. Liu Yan nodded, and then she only needed to pick out the other candidates for Xu Shi to choose.

"I'll leave it to Han Shang as a director, he doesn't have anything to do for the time being, and he doesn't have the ability to shoot movies for the time being, so the shooting of sitcoms shouldn't be difficult for him. Saying that, Xu Shi said again seriously: "And the things you proposed last time, this time is a good opportunity."

The company does not have much experience in this area for the time being, so I will leave it to you to do it, and I hope you can do it well. ”

The birth of "Love Apartment" this time was completely promoted by Liu Yan, and if it weren't for her proposal, Xu Shi would not have thought of this aspect.

Therefore, Xu Shi hopes that Liu Yan can complete this task, and if she completes it well, Xu Shi doesn't mind adding some more burdens to her at that time.

If it is not done well, then Liu Yan will stop there.

Although Xu Shi's words were not too thorough, Liu Yan understood what Xu Shi meant, and nodded very seriously: "I will definitely do my best." ”

"That's good, you go get busy first, I have other things on my side, if you need anything, you can go to my eldest sister." Xu Shi said.

When Liu Yan left, Xu Shi left this matter behind, and now the most important thing is the matter of the two movies.

His own film already has a specific script, so there is no need to worry too much.

But Xu Shi, the script of "The Witch", only has a general idea, and it will take some time to complete the specifics.

In fact, when filming "One Man's Martial Arts", Xu Shi didn't want to shoot the second part at all, and the setting of Xiahou Wu at that time was actually in line with the theme of "One Man's Martial Arts".

Feng Yuxiu is dead, and Xiahou Wu is still there, so no matter what, there is still such a person in this martial arts.

But when She Yueling appeared, Xu Shi began to come up with this idea.

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

"Mr. Xu, you can't leave us behind, otherwise, we can give up some more funds, and we can occupy a little less. ”

Xu Shi looked at the two people in front of him with a little headache, and he didn't know where these two people got the news.

These two people are Sun Tu and Zhang Yang, they have already come when Xu Shi went to the magic capital, and Xu Mei has no way to send them, so she can only let them wait for Xu Shi here.

Xu Shi sighed and said: "Of course not, but this time you should also know that because of the addition of Corn and Mingyue, they are much stronger than you in all aspects, so you still need to talk about your investment in detail." ”

They all talked about it, and Xu Shi really couldn't refuse.

This also proves once again that Xu Shi is not a qualified businessman, he is always bound by various feelings.

If it were put on an ordinary company, now Sun Tu and Zhang Yang would be completely useless, and they could ignore it, but Xu Shi couldn't do such a thing.

So they could only nod and agree, but Zhang Yang and Sun Tu were also self-aware, and they didn't ask too much, and they even said that they would invest more and take less shares.

It's really that the first two investments have brought them a lot of income, which makes them a little, so no matter what, they don't want to miss Xu Shi's investment.

..........

Jingwumen, Maize and Mingyue sat together again, Maize and Mingyue were also in a hurry these days, if they didn't know what Xu Shi was doing in the past two days, they would have almost taken the lead in compromising.

This time, Zhang Yang and Sun Tu were also added, but these two people sat in the corner very consciously, just as observers, and were not ready to speak.

Xu Shi did not mention the matter of cooperation first, but first took out one thing to discuss.

Xu Shi didn't have anything polite, the politeness had already been done a few days ago.

"Everyone also knows that I didn't get paid for the last two movies, and even the salaries of our company's actors are very small, so I'm not going to do this this time, but I can't let the quality of the movie decline, so the first topic this time is the salary. Xu Shi said.

This matter is still Xu Xiaoxiao's wake-up call to Xu Shi, the first two times for various reasons, Xu Shi did not get a dime paid, although he got more, but this seems a little informal, and Xu Shi suffers.

"We know that Mr. Xu has any ideas. Yu Liao and Wang Mingyuan looked at each other and nodded, they have no opinion on this, Xu Shi should indeed be paid.

After all, there is investment from their two companies, if Xu Shi does not get paid, it will be equivalent to them taking advantage, although they are willing to do so, but since Xu Shi proposed it, then this kind of advantage is still not good.

"My current salary should be between five million and eight million, even if it is six and a half million, this price should be considered reasonable, right?" Xu Shi said.

Several people nodded, this price is very reasonable, in fact, if it is really calculated, as long as Xu Shi agrees, some people will definitely be able to offer a high price of 10 million to let Xu Shi participate in the movie.

It's just that according to the normal market, Xu Shi's price is indeed reasonable.

"There are also some actors in our company, as well as other actors, all of them add up, and the salary of actors in a movie this time will not be less than 20 million, or even 30 million. ”

"So my thinking is this, first take out the actor's salary separately, and then decide on the real investment in the film, which should be used entirely on the film, and there can be no waste in the slightest. ”

This is Xu Shi's real purpose, he doesn't want to reduce the quality of the movie because of the actor's salary, so he came up with such a way that is not a solution.

Take out the actors' salaries separately!

Yu Liao and Wang Mingyuan lowered their heads and discussed, feeling that there was no problem in this way, so they both nodded, as for Zhang Yang and Sun Tu, both of them looked at their noses and noses, noses and mouths, and they did not speak in this regard, and they did not have the slightest opinion on these.

"Okay, now that the first question is agreed, I'll move on to the second one. ”

"Since many of the resources given by corn and Mingyue coincide, this is not very efficient, so I decided that this time our company is going to shoot two movies at the same time. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Liao and Wang Mingyuan looked at Xu Shi in surprise, I don't know what Xu Shi is crazy about, the two movies are filmed at the same time, does Jingwumen have so many people?

However, when Xu Shi said this, Yu Liao and Wang Mingyuan's originally intimate appearance suddenly became a little estranged, and they both wanted to invest in the movie starring Xu Shi.

Thinking about it, I also know that no matter what, if two movies are filmed at the same time, Xu Shi will definitely not become the starring actor in both films.

Xu Shi smiled when he saw their appearance, and continued: "You don't have to worry, I'll tell you about the specific situation.

One movie is what I am preparing now, this movie is starring me, and the second movie is the sequel to "One Man's Martial Arts", called "The Witch", starring Xu Xiaoxiao and She Yueling, I just play a supporting role in it, and there are not many scenes.

After saying this, I believe that the two of them have already had a tendency. ”

is the same as Xu Shi thought, both of them had eyes shining at the same time, although "The Witch" did not star Xu Shi, but it was the second part of "One Man's Martial Arts", with the previous reputation, I believe this movie will not be bad.

And there is also Xu Xiaoxiao as the starring role, although Xu Xiaoxiao spends most of her time in Jingwumen, don't forget, she is a signed artist of corn.

Yu Liao was not ready to compete for the new film shooting plan, but now he has to think carefully.

This movie actually really speaks of it, and the chances of failure are much smaller than the first one.

Xu Shi looked at their thinking appearance, gave them a moment's time, and then continued: "I think so, if the two of you have no opinion, the investment situation of the two films is like this. ”

"Jingwumen occupies 40% of the investment share in the two films, corn also accounts for 40% in "The Witch", Mingyue occupies 10%, and the other is the opposite.

As for the rest, it will be handed over to Mr. Zhang and Mr. Sun, but because of the few resources they provide, they need to pay for the publicity funds of the two films, which is considered a kind of compensation in disguise, how about it?"

Xu Shi can be said to have directly pointed out which one invested in which movie, in fact, this is also the intention of the two companies.

Mingyue will definitely not invest more in "The Witch", because then they will be working for corn.

So Mingyue's best choice is the movie starring Xu Shi, while on the corn side, on the contrary, their investment in "The Witch" is the biggest gain.

And the future of the two movies is very good, the movies starring Xu Shi naturally don't need much, and with the foundation of the previous two movies, they have already given them enough confidence.

Although "The Witch" is the use of She Yueling, a newcomer, plus Xu Xiaoxiao, although the box office appeal is not as high as Xu Shigao, but due to the success and reputation of "One Man Martial Arts", I believe that as long as the shooting is not bad, then for them, the risk is relatively small.

As for Sun Tu and Zhang Yang, they didn't have any opinions, although they didn't really want them to join them, but since Xu Shi had already spoken, and the conditions offered by these two people were not bad, there was no need for them to object.

"Mr. Xu, can we go back and discuss it again? You also know that our company must discuss things like this. Yu Liao said and looked at Xu Shi with some envy.

Wang Mingyuan is the same, although they are also the major shareholders of the company, but they do not have the absolute right to speak, unlike Xu Shi, Jingwumen is completely his hall.

"Absolutely. Xu Shi did not refuse, and happily agreed.
