Cute people are getting bigger, and the lambs are also growing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the increase of age, acting skills, popularity, and popularity, the cute little flowers have gradually begun to try to take the lead.
Therefore, Mengren prepared three big dramas this year, "Palace Lock Heart Jade", "The Princess of the World" and "Step by Step Shocking", which were handed over to Sun Yaxing's studio, Lin Xinru's studio and Li Hui's studio respectively.
As early as the beginning of 09, Mai Xiaoyu handed over the script project to the three of them after returning to Yanjing, so that the three of them could familiarize themselves with the script in advance so that they could prepare.
In addition to designating Yang Mi and Tong Liya to star in the first and second women of "Palace Lock Heart Jade", and Liu Shishi to star in the first female of "Step by Step", all other work is decided by the studio of the three.
After all, the three of them joined Mengren in the form of a studio, and Mai Xiaoyu had to give the three parties a certain degree of autonomy.
Lin Xinru and the three are also smart people, in addition to the requirements put forward by Mai Xiaoyu, the actor and the important characters in the play must still be biased towards the artists under the cute people.
As a result, Sun Yaxing made the first move and pulled Feng Shaofeng away; Lin Xinru relied on the emotional card to get the help of Huo Jianhua and Liu Tao; Li Hui was blind, and there was no suitable actor, so he paid attention to Mai Xiaoyu.
Sun Yaxing's "Palace Lock Heart Jade", Feng Shaofeng + Yang Mi + Tong Liya, the cast is not bad.
Lin Xinru played the producer of "The Princess of the World" for the first time, Lin Xinru + Liu Tao + Huo Jianhua, and the cast is even stronger.
"Step by Step" directed by Li Hui, Liu Shishi +?
This cast has to say hello.
So Li Hui proposed: "Mr. Mai, why don't you play the male lead." β
After Sun Yaxing and Lin Xinru heard it, they also joked.
"Mr. Mai, it's good for you to come to me, I'll say hello to Shao Feng and ask him to give you the male lead, and you can save your salary, Shao Feng will probably not object. β
"Mr. Mai, you also know that the first time I became a producer, you proposed it. Wallace and Taotao are here to help me, so you might as well come and help me. Wallace took a fancy to the corner of 'Liu Liancheng', and the corner of 'Meng Qiyou' was still empty. Besides, Tao Tao's cameo as 'Meng Qiyou''s confidante in the play, you are the most suitable. β
After speaking, Lin Xinru giggled, and winked at Mai Xiaoyu, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
"You two...... Too much deception. β
Li Hui rolled his eyes.
Mai Xiaoyu also rolled his eyes: "You trust me too much, right?"
Sun Yaxing and Lin Xinru looked at each other and smiled.
Li Hui said seriously: "Mr. Mai, they are joking with you, I have seriously considered it, you are very suitable for the male number one 'Aixin Jueluo Yinzhen'......"
The male number one in "Step by Step" is the fourth son of the emperor and the future Emperor Yongzheng.
According to the character's biography and the character of the script, this character is calm and introverted, with a deep hidden mind, and a fiery heart, but would rather hide behind a cold face. He likes quiet things and enjoys solitude, he doesn't easily trust people and accept people, and once he accepts them, he will always keep them in his heart to guard, whether it is for his brother or for his lover.
Is this too similar to Mai Xiaoyu's personality?
"This role is simply tailor-made for you, and you couldn't be better to play it.
Mai Xiaoyu was speechless, and said after a while: "Director Li, can we be serious?" I am the boss, not an actor, and I am not famous, second, inexperienced, and third, I have no acting skills, the production cost of this drama is tens of millions, and your studio still has investment." β
"Of course I'm responsible for the investment. However, I have considered several issues you have considered, and they are not problems. β
Li Hui obviously thought it through, and refuted the reasons for Mai Xiaoyu's refusal one by one.
You say you're a boss and not an actor?
Many lowly and middle-class bosses are actors, and the TV series they invested in starred in person. Cheng Long won't talk about it, a big director of Feng Dagang's level will occasionally go into battle in person.
As for fame and experience, it's not a problem either.
The biggest feature of cute dramas is that they are popular. Let's just say that these stars under the cute people, when they first became popular through the cute people drama, how many of them were not newcomers?
Speaking of acting skills, Li Hui smiled.
"Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. Mr. Mai, your life is rich and colorful, and your acting skills are also outstanding......"
Mai Xiaoyu frowned and looked at Lin Xinru and Sun Yaxing: "Why do I think he is mocking me?"
Lin Xinru and Sun Ya were happy, but Li Hui still said seriously: "There is absolutely no mockery." In my opinion, the biggest difference between a professional background and a non-professional background is whether you can bring the acting skills in your life into the drama. β
"If you can, actors who are not from a professional class can also become big stars, such as Huang Bo Liutao; if you can't, it is useless to be from a professional background, and your acting skills are still rotten, such examples abound. It is said that only a small percentage of the students in the performance departments of the three major art colleges in China can enter the industry after graduation every year. β
"You have a lot of experience, you have experienced a lot of things, and you often deal with different people. Mengren's success today is inseparable from your superb acting skills on the stage of life. And your mentality is very good, you can completely bring life acting skills into the drama, and you are used to seeing big scenes, and you will not have stage fright in front of the camera. β
"In addition, you are the owner of the company, although the public rarely knows about you, but you have made a deep impression on the public through the company's official WeChat. You are the leading actor, which in itself is a good promotional selling point. Otherwise, why should my "Step by Step Shocking" tear each other apart with Lao Sun's "Palace Lock Heart Jade"?"
"Palace Lock Heart Jade" VS "Step by Step".
Sun Yaxing Studio VS Li Hui Studio.
This is one of the propaganda tones set by Mai Xiaoyu and others early on.
In order to promote film and television dramas, the producers have always used all kinds of means.
Propaganda methods such as romance and scandal during the propaganda period, even if they are rotten on the street, and the people who eat melons are embarrassed, but they still have an effect.
The two dramas tear and force the battle is an effective propaganda strategy, and the cute people tear each other apart, which is more exciting and eye-catching.
Mean, shameless, dirty, you say?
Sorry, there has never been a soil for the White Lotus to survive in the entertainment industry!
And in reality, there is no novel "Step by Step", and it is too late for Mai Xiaoyu to "copy" in the name of wheat.
And the plots of "Step by Step" and "Palace" are similar, they are both stories of a modern woman who also traveled through the Kangyong era of the Qing Dynasty, got involved in Kowloon to seize the heir, and caused love-hate entanglements with several elder brothers. It's just that the bias is different, and "Step by Step" is just a serious drama.
After getting the script, Li Hui and Sun Yaxing found a problem. After communicating with Mai Xiaoyu, the three decided to simply take advantage of the similarity of the plots of "Step by Step" and "Palace" to write, direct and act in a "strife", and use mutual tearing to promote the new drama.
At that time, the media will definitely be interested, and the people who eat melons will be willing to sit and watch, and the topic, attention, and exposure will definitely go up.
Mai Xiaoyu specially advised: "When the time comes, you two will tear it up, don't make it true, in the end, you will really turn against each other." β
"Don't worry, boss, we know what to do. β
"It's all adults, it's not so naΓ―ve. β
"OK, that's it. In terms of funds, you should grasp it yourself, set aside a gap of about 10 percent, and pull investment from outside. Xinru, your drama can be increased to 15%, and there is no need for more. β
In addition to the three studios of Mengren Film and Television and the three studios, there are two more investment in Zhang Zhang Investment and Zhang Hui's investment, leaving a small amount of funding gap to attract other investors.
The gap is deliberately set aside, not that the cute people are really short of money, but for the consideration of the three studios.
If you don't bring others to play, how can you increase the influence of the studio in the industry?
But there is no need to give up too much, to be reasonable, the total investment of the three dramas is only 100 million, and Meng Ren and Mai Xiaoyu can get it!
The three of them chatted about the filming cycle, actor schedule and other issues, even if it was finalized.
Mai Xiaoyu took a sip of tea: "Then it's decided." β
"Okay, let's go first. β
When the three of them were about to leave, Li Hui turned back again: "Mr. Mai, you haven't answered my question yet." β
"What's the problem?"
"You will star in "Step by Step". β
When Lin Xinru and Sun Yaxing heard this, they also turned back.
Before, the two were deliberately joking, but after listening to Li Hui's feasibility analysis of Mai Xiaoyu playing the leading role, this time they were really a little tempted.
"Mr. Mai, your appearance condition is very good. Didn't you say that I was your idol, didn't you want to support me and star with me, Wallace, and Liu Tao. Lin Xinru's words specially added an accent to the name of "Liutao".
Sun Yaxing also said: "Mr. Mai, I am also serious, and I have confidence in your acting skills." I just remembered that when I used to discuss acting with Jon and praise her for her good acting skills, she said that she learned from you, and said that your acting skills are better. β
Mai Xiaoyu: "......"
Mom sells batches.
Chen Qiaoen is not wrong at all.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, but all successful liars are born actors.
"What kind of mess are you making trouble, I'm going to make an online drama this year, and then I'll do a variety show, I don't have time to mess around with you......"
Mai Xiaoyu is not interested in making TV series, not at all.
There are only two focuses on his work this year, one is variety shows and the other is online dramas.
After Lin Xinru and the three left, he found Liang Pei, the company's vice president of marketing operations and director of the variety show production department.
After Liang Pei jumped from Dolphin Satellite TV, he can be said to be like a fish in water.
Relying on his connections in the TV station circle, he traveled around to make contacts, and gave full play to the light and heat of the old comrades in the operation of various projects of Mengren. And the variety show production department he led also won the first battle, and the outdoor reality show "Running Man" achieved remarkable results.
In addition to the lack of a false name for the administrative establishment of the TV station, the income has doubled. At the end of last year, I took 500,000 yuan in year-end dividends alone.
During the Spring Festival, when he celebrated the New Year in his hometown, he gathered with his old colleagues in the past, and he didn't want to envy his group of colleagues, and at the same time he also heard a very happy news.
"Mr. Mai, let me tell you something. After our "Running Man" became popular, I heard that Hu Ping had a black face for a long time, hahahaha!"
Liang Pei laughed heartily.
He was forced to leave Dolphin Satellite TV, and he came to a "national retreat and democratic advancement", gave up the establishment treatment, came to Mengren, and the development was not bad.
But if he is still the director of the film purchase department of Dolphin Satellite TV, he will never jump ship and be cute.
Although the salary of the director of the film purchase department is average, the power is there. All kinds of gray income and private welfare benefits, really don't have too much. Let's not talk about rebates, sometimes when small and medium-sized producers invite him to dinner in order to sell dramas successfully, there are also Peugeot Shui Ling's little stars in the play to accompany him to eat, drink and accompany him.
However, the son of heaven and a courtier.
After Hu Ping came, he was assigned to the old cadres.
This year's round is the New Year, and I learned from my old colleagues that Hu Ping's situation is not good, and there are a hundred reasons to be happy.
Mai Xiaoyu didn't have that sarcastic mood.
Even if Dolphin Satellite TV declines, Hu Ping is also a national cadre at the department level, and at most he will fail to gild, as long as the relationship is hard enough, the impact on his career can be smoothed out by time.
"Mr. Liang, I came to you mainly to discuss with you, I plan to do another variety show this year. β
"Oh, what, it's still an outdoor reality show?"
When it comes to work, Liang Pei's interest has increased greatly, and he is not as lazy as when he worked at the TV station. Because of private companies, performance is related to their own earnings.
"I'm not going to do an outdoor reality show, I'm going to do a big inspirational professional music review show. β
Large-scale inspirational professional music criticism shows?
It's a long name, and it's a bit tongue-twisting.
When Liang Pei listened to Mai Xiaoyu's simple idea, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Isn't this a music talent show?"
In 2000, outdoor reality shows appeared in Huaxia, but they were soon replaced by music talent shows. And the peak of the music talent show is "Supergirl" held by Mango Satellite TV.
After the popularity of "Supergirl" in 05, various music talent shows from various TV stations have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Even after the beating of the State Electricity Administration, "Supergirl" was temporarily suspended, and there are a lot of "Fast Men", "Come on Good Boy", "My Type My Show" and so on, this type of program is a bit of a bad feeling.
It is said that Mango Satellite TV has summed up the successful experience and lessons of "Supergirl" in the past few years, and this year in addition to the outdoor reality show, it is also preparing to create a new music talent show "Happy Girl......
"Mr. Mai, our company's "Running Man" has brought fire to outdoor reality shows, and many TV stations are ready to go on it. As far as I know, it will be broadcast at the end of February at the earliest, and it has become one of the general trends of this year's variety shows. β
"So you think we should be doing an outdoor reality show. β
"Yes, this is also the result of our department's discussions, and it has been discussed...... If you're worried about fighting with Blueberry TV, we can work with Blueberry TV again. As long as their bid is sincere enough, it can be used as a variety show to take over "Running Man". β
"Mr. Liang, have you considered the results of another outdoor reality show? What will happen if the effect is not as good as "Running Man"? What will happen if the effect exceeds "Running Man"?"
Liang Pei: "......"
If the effect is not as good as "Running Man", some people in the outside world will definitely think that the cute Jiang Lang is exhausted.
If the effect exceeds "Running Man", it is equivalent to Meng Ren suppressing his own "Running Man".
"So, let's do a music talent show, do a good job, and it will be ...... the same."
"Grassroots Singer...... The instructor turned around...... Scramble for student ...... Team PK......"
One afternoon, Mai Xiaoyu was detailing the concept and framework of "The Voice", and Liang Pei's eyes gradually lit up as he listened......
