2008 is an epoch-making year for Moe people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

invested a lot of money, or produced it himself, or participated in the investment of many film and television dramas, as well as a variety show.

Since October 10th, the large-scale public welfare outdoor competitive reality show "Running Brothers" has been broadcast, and Mengren has unveiled the curtain of a bumper harvest.

First of all, "Running Brothers", which was jointly created with Blueberry Satellite TV, became a phenomenon and led the revival of outdoor reality shows. The original invitation of active sports champions as guests has been implicitly affirmed by Xinhua News Agency, and the big movie is highly anticipated.

The seven regular hosts are loved by the audience and their popularity has skyrocketed. Yang Ying, Chen Chichi, and Zheng Kai, three newcomers, have become the most successful newcomers this year with an online drama and a variety show.

followed by the box office boom of "Twilight", which participated in the investment, with both high box office and low word of mouth. With the release of the film in many countries, the sales of the original novel have once again ushered in a new peak, and the filming of the second part of "Twilight" is also in preparation.

"Love Call Transfer 2" starring Chen Qiaoen also met with the audience this year's Christmas file.

With "Meteor Garden" and "Fated I Love You", Chen Qiaoen, who became popular across the Taiwan Strait and even the entire Southeast Asia, truly challenged the big screen for the first time and won the support and expectations of many audiences.

After the release, the word-of-mouth was average, the plot was mixed, and a large number of advertisements implanted caused public opinion to complain.

As a director, Zhang Xiaoquan was scolded by the audience, and the Internet was full of voices of "worse than the previous one", "distressed Chen Qiaoen", "distressed Huo Jianhua", "Fortunately, Huang Bo is not the protagonist", "Deng Chao still continues to shoot "Running Man", "How did Meng Fei make a cameo in such a bad movie", "Liu Tianwang is not guaranteed to be in the evening".

The word of mouth is not good, but the box office is not bad, in the two weeks since its release, the box office has exceeded 50 million, and it is expected that the box office is expected to exceed 70 million before it goes offline.

Originally, this is a commercial movie with the main purpose of making money, and the highlight is not only love, but the heroine Chen Qiaoen and twelve male protagonists of different "styles...... Well, and ads.

A large number of advertisements were implanted in the film, and the investment cost had long been recovered through advertising fees.

In addition, the speed of the arrival of advertising fees is much faster than that of the box office share...... Isn't the cute person "tight" in funds?

When Mai Xiaoyu flew back to Yanjing, it was early January 2009. The post-production of the big movie "Running Man" has been completed, and before leaving Hangzhou, he just got the "birth permit".

"Haozi, isn't it a little uncomfortable to float outside for a month?"

"Nope. Yanjing is not my home, it is floating everywhere. ”

"How do you say this, then find a girlfriend, get married, start a family and have children, and I'll give you the wedding room."

"Thank you boss, I'm not in a hurry."

"You mean, I'm in a hurry?"

"Huh."

He Ke Haoyi walked out of the Capital International Airport and saw Xi Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan coming to pick up the airport with the company's nanny car, and Mai Xiaoyu was stunned.

"Didn't I say you didn't need to pick up the plane, why are you two here?"

Xiao Xing is now a big director; Zhang Xiaoquan is a gold medal photographer who has won the Golden Horse Award, and his two works have not made much money after transforming into a director. Even if it was Mai Xiaoyu, there was no need for them to pick up the airport, not to mention that the two of them came to pick up the airport together, and they didn't bring a driver yet.

The two didn't say much, hugged them briefly, and beckoned Mai Xiaoyu to get into the car.

Ke Haoyi was very discerning, saluted and put it in the trunk, and sat in the driver's seat to start the car.

The car drove away from the airport along the airport expressway, and the two glanced at each other, and Xiao Xiaoxing said: "Boss, you are very interested in "Running Man" this time." ”

Zhang Xiaoquan also said: "Yes, in the past few years, I have never seen you follow the whole process of the company's film and television dramas." ”

Mai Xiaoyu looked at the two of them and asked, "What do you two want to say?" ”

The two looked at each other again, and Xiao Xing lowered his voice: "I heard that this movie is the director?" ”

"Questions?"

Absolutely!

In the past, why Mai Xiaoyu behaved very low-key, never appeared in public, and did not appear on film and television dramas, the reason is very clear to the two friends. But this time, the nominal director system!

What does this mean?

Facing the little excited inquiring eyes of the two of them, Mai Xiaoyu nodded with a smile: "We now have members from ten places, and the contract of more than two hundred members in Chang'an City is in my suitcase." ”

Around Christmas last year, when the post-production of "Running Man" was nearing the end, he took the time to go to Chang'an City to complete the "recruitment" of lambs in the last place.

In two years, the final whitewashing work was completed, and the people who did their best to sell small fish and fry Ruoyi contributed a lot.

As a reward, on the basis of the original remuneration, Mai Xiaoyu gave them an extra two million and let them go abroad for vacation.

Yu Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan shook their fists almost at the same time.

"Great!"

"It's a fork, and the stone of how many years has finally landed!"

"Don't get so excited, there's still something missing...... But overall there is no problem. ”

After so many years, some of the lambs who were circled changed their contact information, some moved, and some left the local area after graduating from college, and they could no longer be contacted. Therefore, there are still certain flaws in Mai Xiaoyu's whitewashing process.

However, these small flaws do not affect the big picture.

There is a minimum amount for the police to file a case, after the establishment of the ten member groups of the cute people, it includes most of the former lambs, even if there are individual lambs in the future to cause risks, the risks are also controllable.

The key is to keep existing members happy.

"That's good, we have to have a drink tonight."

"How can one cup be enough, if you are drunk, you will not return if you are drunk!"

Xiao Xing and Zhang Xiaoquan finally got the answer they wanted, and they were in a good mood.

didn't talk to Mai Xiaoyu for a few words, and the two of them entered the state of daily comic again.

Zhang Xiaoquan took the initiative to talk about the preparations for "People in Embarrassment", and did not forget to crack down on Xiao Xing. said that he made a "Inception", which not only had a long cycle, but also occupied a large amount of the company's funds.

"With your cycle and budget, I can shoot two or three films. The company values you very much, and you must not let me down. ”

Xi Xiaoxing said angrily: "You don't rely on the old and sell the old, and you don't look at your "Love 2", and you still have to deal with me? ”

"It's a fork, what's wrong with "Love" 2, box office sharing plus advertising sponsorship, tens of millions of dollars! Unlike "Bullfighting" you made, the only movie in the company that lost money! ”

"Bastard, how did you get the Golden Horse Award for Best Cinematography!"

"That's the result of my efforts, what does it have to do with you?"

"Damn, if I hadn't given you a chance, would you have been able to transform into a director so quickly?"

"Don't say that. If you were here, you would still shoot "Love 2" that you can't watch! ”

……

"Ahem!"

Mai Xiaoyu coughed lightly and stopped the two teasers who were blowing their beards and glaring: "The reputation of "Love 2" is very poor? ”

"It's not bad, but it's average. I don't understand why the audience is rushing at me, and some people say that I smashed the company signboard and told me to go back and be a good photographer. ”

Yu Xiaoxing pouted: "Because you are a director, you have to learn to adapt, and the audience is like this." But as long as the movie is profitable, you won't have to worry about no one looking for you to direct. ”

"That being said, it's stressful. Didn't you do the same last year? ”

This style of painting is transformed, and the two tease each other and comfort each other.

Mai Xiaoyu touched his chin and smacked his lips; "No wonder when I was in Hangtown, Jon called me and complained that I deliberately didn't go to the premiere. You've watched "Love 2", how do you feel? ”

"It's okay, it's not as good as "Stone" and "Racing", but at least you can watch it."

"Boss, you don't have to think about it. The commerciality and artistry of this film are not so well balanced, and it is normal for Ah Zheng's script quality to fluctuate. This product can write TV drama scripts and movie scripts, and the quality is not bad, which is already very rebellious. ”

"Yes, I think this "People in Embarrassment" is better than the first two, and finally got me a good book, and it was not in vain that I took the blame for him."

"Brother Fork, after the Spring Festival, the second season of "Running Man" will start, you talk to Chaohe Baoqiang's agent and arrange their schedule."

Xiao Xing's eyes widened: "I'll go, I'll shoot the second season so soon." Also, "Running Man" is so popular, and before the release of "Inception" in the future, I will also arrange for the protagonist of the film to be promoted in "Running Man". ”

Zhang Xiaoquan asked: "You won't follow the program team all the way, right?" ”

"Not this time." Mai Xiaoyu shook his head.

In the filming of the first season of "Running Man", Mai Xiaoyu participated in the whole process because the program team was completely inexperienced, and there were no similar programs in China for reference. And the show brought together five new and old artists from the company, and he had to take the program team to play with the artists.

Now it's different.

The first season was quite successful, the team has been trained, and the staff of the cute variety show production department and the program team are familiar with the game rules, rhythm and direction of "Running Man"; The artists have grown up quickly, and their sense of variety shows has increased, and they are also familiar with the gameplay, and they know how to fight for as many shots as possible in a limited time.

In addition, the brand of "Running Man" has been erected, and the word of mouth has also been played, Mai Xiaoyu no longer needs to worry about it like the first season, Xia Qin, the manager of the company's variety show production department, can take people to stay in the program group and participate in the recording of the program.

When it comes to "Running Man", there is one thing that cannot be bypassed, and that is the Xinhua News Agency's sports commentary.

In the hearts of Xi Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan, similar suspicions arose in Liu Junhao's hearts.

"Boss, when you used to circle lambs alone, did you trap the mistresses and goddaughters of leading cadres?" Yu Xiaoxing asked with a gossipy face.

Mai Xiaoyu glanced at him with an idiot-like look: "Then I will have a chance to circle you later?" ”

"But what did Xinhua News Agency's sports commentary say a few days ago?"

"That's right." Zhang Xiaoquan also echoed, "Was it a coincidence that "Meteor Garden" was a coincidence, and this time it was still a coincidence? ”

This time, of course, is not a coincidence, but it is not as exaggerated as the two Zhang and Liu Junhao imagined.

The mistress of a leading cadre?

Goddaughter?

Is that the master of the good circle?

Mai Xiaoyu just relied on the experience in the strange dream, combined with the real experience, to determine the correctness and feasibility of sports pan-entertainment.

Don't underestimate the relevant government departments. The leadership groups of various government departments are basically forward-looking and predictable at the macro level, but it depends on whether they are willing to implement it or whether there is an opportunity to carry it out.

After the pan-entertainment of sports, it is macroscopically conducive to the development of sports in the country, the promotion of sports projects, and the enhancement of people's physique; Microscopically, it can enhance the gold content of the championship and stimulate athletes to train hard to win glory for the country.

To put it mildly, there are also benefits to the authorities at all levels of sports projects. Attract sponsors, increase sponsorship fees, and share athlete advertising endorsement fees...... Why do those who engage in sports have to be poor for three generations?

Therefore, "Running Man" is an opportunity!

Yu Xiaoxing didn't continue to dwell on this question, and asked instead: "Boss, you are also whitewashed now, what are your plans for this year?" Why don't you wait for me to finish "Inception" and let Ah Zheng write a book, you will act, I will direct, and Brother Fork will shoot, how about it? ”

Zhang Xiaoquan was also very interested in this proposal, but Mai Xiaoyu shook his head: "It's not time yet. ”

Walking to the front of the stage, he has no objection, and even in his plans, just not in his plans for this year.

He has other things to do this year, to get to the front of the stage...... There is no rush for the time being.

"I'm going to make an online drama this year." Mai Xiaoyu said seriously.

"A sequel to 'Love Apartment'?" Xiao Xing became interested, "Many viewers on the Internet are talking about this, and they are looking forward to our sequel." ”

"Love Apartment" ......

Mai Xiaoyu was silent.

In all fairness, he doesn't really want to make a sequel, at least he won't let Zhao Liying make a sequel again.

But "Love Apartment" has become a divine drama, if you don't make a sequel...... There's no reason not to make money, right?

"Lao Xi, do you still want to shoot?"

"I must have thought, why don't you make money when you have it. But I'm definitely not going to lead, at most I will hang a director system, and leave the opportunity to my elementary school boys. Not to mention, there are a lot of good seedlings, and the several online dramas they filmed this year have had a good response and have to make money. ”

Zhang Xiaoquan joked: "Yes, you have now become the boss of our company's East Opera Gang." ”

Yu Xiaoxing sneered: "I'll discuss business with the boss, shut up, your son-in-law of the Chinese drama gang." ”

"Then I'm the one who talks about the Yanying Gang?" Mai Xiaoyu added jokingly.

What he said also makes some sense, his two younger sisters, Sissi and Shu Chang, both graduated from Yenching Film Academy.

"You're our cute talker!"

The two said in unison, and then talked about the sequel to "Love Apartment".

"Let me think about it, and I'll give you the answer in the office later."

After speaking, Mai Xiaoyu closed his eyes and began to recall the plot of "Love Apartment 2" and several leading actors in his dream.

When he arrived at the company, he first gave Ke Haoyi three days off to let him go back and have a good rest, and teased Yu Ping again.

After Yu Ping sent three cups of tea, accepted the gift that Mai Xiaoyu gave her, and left happily, Mai Xiaoyu said to Yu Xiaoxing: "Do what you say, make a sequel, but you have to let people determine the cast first." Also, there's one more thing I have to make clear to you in advance......"
