Chapter 215 Approaching Step by Step
The next morning.
Mai Xiaoyu came to the company and went to Liu Xiaoli's office, asking her not to arrange for Liu Tao, Deng Chao, and Huang Bo to take on new dramas for the time being, on the grounds that he was going to shoot "Pink Girl" and vacate the schedules of the three.
Just heard that Mai Xiaoyu wanted to shoot a TV series, Liu Xiaoli's first reaction was the same as that of Yu Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan - against it.
The door is not as good as a good door.
Meng Ren Film and Television has just opened up a path in the film industry, and now it is time to strike while the iron is hot and gain a firm foothold in the film industry, and then consider moving to the TV circle.
However, when she heard the words "Pink Girl", she changed her mind.
Since knowing that the relationship between Mai Xiaoyu and the four people was not ordinary, Liu Xiaoli began to pay attention to the Weibo of the four Mai Zi, hoping to find out the relationship between Mai Xiaoyu and them from the words on the other party's Weibo.
She has seen "Pink Girl" and knows that this four-panel comic has caused a small heated discussion on the Internet.
After a few simple questions, she affirmed that "Pink Girl" was the decision of Mai Xiaoyu's five-member group.
Maizi is responsible for comic promotion, Ah Zheng is responsible for adapting the script, Xiaoyuer is responsible for creating the theme song, and even the initial budget of 6 million, Mai Xiaoyu has no intention of letting the company ......
"Why don't you make 'Boys Over Flowers'? This work has more fans and popularity. Liu Xiaoli said tentatively.
Because Mai Xiaoyu is an alternative in the entertainment industry.
When other companies make film and television dramas, they basically finalize the script first, and then select the actors according to the script.
Mai Xiaoyu came in reverse. He first selects the actors, and then according to the actors' own conditions, he selects suitable scripts from the strange dreams and copies them.
"Flower Man" is definitely better, the problem is that the cast in his hands is: Huang Bo, Deng Chao, Liu Tao, Hai Qing, Lin Zhiling.
When filming "Flower Man", how will the roles of these five people be distributed?
The real reason must not be told to Liu Xiaoli, Mai Xiaoyu casually made up a reason: "Ah Zheng and Mai Zi quarreled, saying that the adaptation of "Flower Man" was too troublesome and he was unwilling to adapt it. ”
Liu Xiaoli: "......"
I know you're dealing with me, but you can't make it up like that!
Shaking her head, Liu Xiaoli asked again: "What about "Why"? Don't tell me, Ah Zheng and Mai also quarreled. ”
"You're right, they had a fight. ”
"What about you, Ah Zheng didn't quarrel with you?"
"No, he didn't dare, he knew I had a hard fist. ”
Liu Xiaoli completely lost her temper: "If you don't want to say it, forget it." I'll just ask you, the five of you together, who has the final say?"
What she is most worried about now is whether Mai Xiaoyu is a puppet pushed out by the four of Maizi.
She and Mai Yingying once inquired about it, and Maizi's comics, Mai's novels, Ah Zheng's scripts, and Xiao Yuer's lyrics and songs are not like newcomers' handwriting, and it is very likely that the gods in their respective fields are wearing vests.
Mai Xiaoyu has been away from home for five years, how did he get to know these gods?
Why are people willing to deal with Mai Xiaoyu, and the new vest is still selected from Mai Xiaoyu's name?
The couple were worried that Mai Xiaoyu was young and inexperienced, and was used by some old drivers to become a puppet pushed to the front desk by a consortium of interests for some purpose.
"Of course I have the final say. ”
In order to dispel Liu Xiaoli's concerns, Mai Xiaoyu said that the budget of 6 million is borrowed in the name of a person, not an investment, and all profits after the TV series is broadcast in the future will be included in the company's accounts.
"Wheat, what I care about is not how the profits are distributed, but that you are still young and don't understand the complexity of this society, be careful in case of trouble, don't be deceived. ”
I don't understand?
Mai Xiaoyu smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not so easy to deceive." ”
"Tell your dad about something in time, he has seen a lot of storms and has a lot of ideas. ”
"I see. ”
After the gossip was finished, Liu Xiaoli proposed to read the script, mainly concerned about the image positioning of Liu Tao, Huang Bo, and Deng Chao in the play.
After reading the script, she put forward her opinion: "Liutao's positioning is not suitable. ”
In the dream of "Pink Girl", the positioning of the four heroines is: marriage maniac, man's wife, heartthrob and Ha Mei.
Mai Xiaoyu wanted Liu Tao to play the role of a man's wife, but the label of a man's wife felt bad, and the character in the comics was a "strong woman", not a "man's wife".
So when copying the script, he deliberately changed "man's wife" to "female man".
Position this role as: an urban woman with a bold personality, informal, not afraid of hardship, not fond of coquettishness, independent personality, and self-pursuit.
In "Returning the Pearl 3", Princess Musha played by Liu Tao fits this image a little.
After listening to Mai Xiaoyu's explanation of the definition of "female man", Liu Xiaoli shook her head: "But the lines in the script are not far from the 'female man' in your mouth, a bit like, like ......"
"Man's wife?"
"Yes, like a man's wife!"
Also, Mai Xiaoyu only changed his name and did not change his lines, of course Liu Xiaoli felt that something was wrong.
"In this way, I asked the screenwriter to revise Liu Tao's lines, and then asked the company to increase the publicity of the "Pink Girl" comics. When the script is finalized and the main creative cast and crew are confirmed, I asked someone to find a relationship with the TV station to see if I can persuade which TV station to pre-order. ”
Mai Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay." I'll settle down the director in the past two days, and then I'll decide on the main actors as soon as possible......"
After the two agreed on their respective responsibilities and division of labor, it was almost twelve o'clock at noon.
Before lunch, Mai Xiaoyu casually asked, "Why didn't you see Chen Qiaoen?"
"She's off today. Liu Xiaoli looked at him suspiciously, "You seem to care about her very much?"
"Of course. She is the only publicity specialist in the company, and if she resigns, the company's publicity plan will not be disrupted. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I've already transferred two people from the scouting department to follow her as a publicity assistant, and I'm about to leave the school. ”
……
After work, Mai Xiaoyu went to the gym to practice sanda for an hour as usual, and then took a shower and went home.
On the way home, he has been thinking about two problems that need to be solved urgently: one is the director, and the other is Lin Zhiling.
Based on the principle of easy first and then difficult, he decided to find a director first.
He knows very few directors, but there is one candidate on hand who can barely give it a try - Director Sun.
"Director Sun, I'm Mai Xiaoyu, what have you been busy with lately...... Don't worry, if I say that if I ban it, I will definitely ban it...... Okay, let's sit down tomorrow night and have dinner together......"
Carrying the boxed lunch bought downstairs, I came to the door of the house by phone.
Hung up the phone and took out the key to open the door, when the door of the next room opened, and a young girl wearing a home casual dress and carrying a garbage bag came out to throw out the garbage.
Mai Xiaoyu thought it was the couple who were going back to their hometown to get married, but they didn't pay much attention to it.
However, as soon as the girl spoke, he was startled.
"Mr. Mai, you live here?"
It's Chen Qiaoen!
Half surprised, half surprised...... Rough acting. (To be continued.) )
