Chapter 941: There is no good feast
People and things in the entertainment industry are inseparable from all kinds of publicity and hype. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The relevant news in the entertainment industry is true and false, and the masses are often stupid and can't tell the difference.
For example, Long Xing broke out the fierce news of the cute adaptation of "Why", and the cute people angrily reprimanded the other party's immoral behavior, and many people who ate melons were stupid to think that Longxing Studio picked up the cute people's fierce information, but in fact, it was a publicity hype around "Why" from beginning to end.
Not all netizens have watched "Why", but after the hype, almost all netizens know "Why".
That's how propaganda works.
What cute people have invested heavily to acquire film and television adaptation rights, what Ah Zheng has completed the script adaptation, what contacts the godfather-level director of Taiwan's idol dramas, and what candidates for the male and female protagonists, Mai Xiaoyu told Long Xing and asked them to break the news.
In the face of an interview with reporters, the official spokesman of Mengren reprimanded Long Xing's immoral practices, which was also instructed by Mai Xiaoyu. Increase the "fun" of publicity gimmicks and news, and at the same time shape Longxing's strong ability to break news.
Cute people film and television.
Mai Xiaoyu was in the office to receive Liu Junjie, who flew from Taiwan Island to Yanjing today.
There are also Tang Yan and Li Hui next to him.
Liu Junjie is very interested in directing "Why".
"Mr. Mai, I've read both the original book and the script, no wonder Lao Li will jump into the dragon gate after meeting your cute people."
Li Hui feigned anger and said: "Lao Liu, you don't pay attention to what you say, don't forget that I recommended you!" ”
That's true.
Mai Xiaoyu first asked Sun Yaxing to direct "Why".
However, in the past two years, palace fighting dramas have been too popular, and Sun Yaxing is more willing to shoot palace fighting dramas.
He is no longer the jack-of-all-trades director who used to film for local tyrants and starlets, and he has also begun to pursue higher goals and formulated a corresponding development plan for it.
At the beginning of this year, with the popularity of "Palace Lock Heart Jade", his status in the TV drama director circle has reached a higher level. In order to consolidate his position, he prefers to continue to shoot palace fighting dramas rather than urban romance dramas.
After filming "Palace", he took over a palace fighting drama, which was completed at the end of last year.
When Mai Xiaoyu asked him to direct "Why", he was honest and unfair to highlight his ideas and plates.
For the time being, he just wants to shoot palace fighting dramas and build his own brand through several palace fighting dramas. Due to the popularity of "Palace", he instead pestered Mai Xiaoyu to grind hard bubbles, said a lot of good things, and suggested that the latter shoot a sequel to "Palace Lock Heart Jade".
Mai Xiaoyu can understand Sun Yaxing's thoughts.
People, at different levels, will have different pursuits.
Sun Yaxing suggested filming a sequel to "Palace Lock Heart Jade" to maximize brand benefits, which is a common phenomenon in the entertainment industry and is also beneficial to cute people. For himself, it is also reasonable to take advantage of the popularity of palace fighting dramas to shoot a few more palace fighting dramas to improve and consolidate his TV drama director.
Therefore, Mai Xiaoyu sighed, "I hope you won't be entangled in the future", so he took out the book of the second part of "Palace Lock Heart Jade" and threw it to him, and then set a few roles.
The female first Tong Liya, Shu Chang plays the two roles of Begonia and Peony, Zhao Liying plays Yushu, Wang Kai plays the role of Yunli, the prince of Seventeen Elder Brothers, and the rest of the roles are decided by Sun Yaxing himself.
Sun Yaxing did not disappoint Mai Xiaoyu either.
With the popularity of "Palace Lock Heart Jade", the cute signboard, and the fame he has accumulated over the years, it is not difficult to invite actors.
He found the second male lead who played the fourth child in "Palace", and continued to play "Yongzheng" in the second part, and found a lot of well-known Xiaohuadan, powerful actors and old drama bones from across the Taiwan Strait and three places to help, with a strong cast.
Among all the leading actors, Wang Kai is the weakest, but the cute people make it clear that they want to support him and Tong Liya, which can be seen by industry insiders. Especially Tong Liya, she also specially asked Shu Chang and Zhao Liying to play for her.
This drama does not need special publicity, it was announced directly.
The popularity of "Palace" has not subsided so far, and the two men and two women have really become popular with "Palace", and their popularity is not low.
Tong Liya has won the praise of "beauty in ancient costumes", and her popularity has increased greatly, and this time she played the first female role in "Palace Lock Bead Curtain", which can be regarded as striking while the iron is hot, which is quite expected by the audience.
There are also Shu Chang, Zhao Liying and others to help, plus the popular Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng cameos, as soon as the starring lineup of this drama was finalized, TV stations and video websites came to grab the drama.
In terms of TV stations, Mango Satellite TV, which has deep pockets, booked the exclusive broadcast rights of "Palace Lock Bead Curtain" in advance at a price of more than 100 million; The network broadcast rights were bought out by Storm Video at a high price.
Sun Yaxing filmed "Palace Lock Heart Jade", Li Hui wanted to shoot "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the momentum of the palace fight drama has not decreased, and the director of "Why" has not landed.
If the cute person is made public early, even if the actor is Mai Xiaoyu, there will be many well-known TV series directors who are willing to take over the directing of "Why". But for the sake of hype, this matter should not be announced early.
Li Hui relied on his connections in Hong Kong and Taiwan circles to recommend Liu Junjie, a well-known director of the godfather of idol dramas on Taiwan Island. Liu Xiaoli also expressed her support after learning about it, and Mai Xiaoyu did not object.
With the help of Longxing's revelations, before the official announcement of the adaptation of "Why", Liu Junjie had been on Taiwan Island. He arranged the work at hand and formed his own team, mainly looking through the original book and the script, and then making a comparative analysis.
No one can succeed casually, and you must do your homework before doing something, which is his principle.
He originally thought that the script still needed to be changed repeatedly, but after reading it, he realized that the adaptation of the script was based on respecting the original work. There is no need to make major changes to the basic structure and the direction of the plot, at most the details can be adjusted.
also suddenly woke up to why Li Hui was able to rise, and the reason why he led the team to join Mengren in the form of a studio.
"Mr. Mai, can I meet Mr. Ah Zheng?"
"What, there's something wrong with the script and it needs to be overhauled?"
"No, no, no, you're mistaken. The script is very well adapted, without too many changes to the main line, and the original work is fully respected. The added scenes are also in line with the style of idol dramas, and the script is meticulous to each shooting scene. I admire Mr. Ah Zheng very much, so I want to meet him. ”
I thought you were going to have major surgery on the script!
If you really want to do that, you have to change the director.
Mai Xiaoyu smiled and shook his head: "Ah Zheng has autism and doesn't want to see people, only me." ”
Self, autism?
Liu Junjie: "......"
Li Hui explained: "Lao Liu, do you know what the biggest hole card is for cute people? ”
"What is it?"
"Wheat, wheat, Ah Zheng, little fish."
"What do you mean?"
"Before I came to the company, I directed a number of self-made dramas; After coming to the company, he also directed several self-made dramas, and I have never seen the four of them. Don't say it's me, except for Mr. Mai, no one else has seen me, including Mr. Liu. ”
are all old drivers, Liu Junjie must know that there must be something here, and it is not as simple as being poached by others.
explained that he just wanted to communicate with Ah Zheng and had no other intentions, so he didn't mention the meeting anymore.
Mai Xiaoyu asked: "Director Liu, you have also read the contract, do you have any other requirements?" ”
For example, remuneration, payment methods, script changes, shooting schedules, post-production, publicity plans, casts, etc., Meng Ren is particularly clear in the contract. Some are regular, and some are exclusively marked by Moe people.
Liu Junjie has no objection to his remuneration and payment method, as well as his power in the crew, the only thing he doubts is Mai Xiaoyu's acting skills.
The voices of "changing Mai Xiaoyu", "begging for don't toss", and "begging to let go" on the Internet have never stopped, and Liu Junjie also has doubts about the acting skills of Mai Xiaoyu, a boss who "doesn't do his job".
Even if Li Hui patted his chest and assured him that Mai Xiaoyu's acting skills were superb; He also asked several familiar Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who participated in "Step by Step", and they all had a positive attitude towards Mai Xiaoyu's acting skills, but he still had no bottom of his psychology.
But it was a costume drama, and now it is an urban drama, and Mai Xiaoyu needs to play the taste of a domineering president...... In terms of Liu Junjie and Mai Xiaoyu's current contact, as well as Li Hui's introduction, although Mai Xiaoyu is the boss of the cute people, he also reflects the domineering side at all.
As a principled director, he hopes that seeing is believing, and let Mai Xiaoyu and Tang Yan act in front of him in a scene, so that he can personally evaluate it.
If Mai Xiaoyu can't act, he will propose to change the protagonist, otherwise the possibility of refusing to accept this play cannot be ruled out.
"Lao Liu ......"
"It's okay Director Li, Director Liu is also responsible for the TV series, what do you say?"
"It's okay to return the wallet to the rivalry."
This is the previous scene in "He Yi", it is the scene where Zhao Mosheng just returned to China, picked up He Yichen's wallet, and secretly returned it but took away his own photos inside, causing He Yichen to come to the door to recover the photos.
Tang Yan, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly said: "Director Liu, I need time to familiarize myself with the lines of the script, and I have to play against Mr. Mai." ”
"OK, no problem."
Tang Yan picked up the script and pulled Mai Xiaoyu to the floor-to-ceiling window, which was far away from the reception area.
Mai Xiaoyu lowered his voice and asked puzzledly, "Didn't you get the script a long time ago?" This scene is opening, you should have seen it a long time ago, and you are still familiar with it? ”
"I'm here for you!"
Tang Yan once frantically read "Why" on the Internet, and after it was published, it was also the first batch of physical books to be sold, and she read it several times when she got it, and she was deeply impressed by some of the plots. Although the script has been changed, she has already begun to prepare for it and is familiar with this plot.
She said that because she was worried that Mai Xiaoyu's performance would not satisfy Liu Junjie.
"Thank you for your concern, but you forgot, you also said that I was good at acting that night."
"It's different."
"What's the difference, is it that I'm too easy-going in the company, do you think I can't play the domineering side? I forgot how I reacted when you were framed a few years ago? ”
Memories of the past flooded back in my heart. That night, she was betrayed by her best friend, and almost fell into the pharmacy and was ruined, but Mai Xiaoyu single-handedly resolved it, and even beat her drug girlfriend and the captain of the public security brigade in front of the police, which is called a domineering.
When she was on the lines, she found that Mai Xiaoyu didn't need to read the script at all, and the lines came as soon as she opened her mouth, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly: Perhaps, my worries are redundant.
"Nothing but return the wallet?"
"Nope."
"There's a picture here, can you give it back to me?"
"The person in the picture is me."
"I advise you not to discuss the issue of ownership of the item with a lawyer!"
On the side, Liu Junjie nodded frequently and whispered to himself: "I obviously miss her very much, but my tone is stiff and cold." While posing as if you are a stranger, you ask for a picture of her. The heat is well grasped, and the proportions are just right. ”
Li Hui said proudly: "I'll just say that he is a natural actor, and he is a cute boss, and this role can be regarded as his true character." Don't think he's smiling and he's not smiling, you haven't seen him look like when he's ruthless. ”
Mai Xiaoyu and Tang Yan's performances continue.
"What do you want my picture for?"
"Who knows, maybe I want to be by my side and remind me of that stupid past from time to time......"
Bang Bang Bang!
Liu Junjie and Li Hui stood up with applause.
The former said: "Ok, it's ok here, Mr. Mai, you surprised me too much." Your way of acting should be an experiential one, which is an eye-opener for me. And Miss Sugar Yan, too, is also very good. It's just that at first I thought that you would bring Mr. Mai into the play, but I didn't expect him to bring you into the role, not bad, you partner, I am very optimistic. ”
"That's, or I'm confident in "Step by Step"?"
When he saw Mai Xiaoyu, Liu Junjie affirmed Mai Xiaoyu's appearance and figure, and Mai Xiaoyu's acting skills just now gave him another surprise. He didn't have any problems and happily signed his name on the director's contract.
That night, Mai Xiaoyu held a banquet to entertain Liu Junjie, and two days later, Liu Junjie began the preparatory work of "Why".
After Mai Xiaoyu finished the work at hand every day, he turned into a humanoid photocopier and began to copy comics and novels non-stop. It's mainly comics, so as not to be too rushed when filming in the future.
Mid-March.
After getting off work in the afternoon, he practiced sanda for an hour in the fitness club, took a shower and prepared to go back to the Mai family villa in Sijiqingqiao, and have dinner with Comrade Mai.
At six o'clock, as soon as the car drove out of the cute film and television compound, it was blocked by a Lexus.
Ke Haoyi, who was driving, frowned and was about to get out of the car.
Mai Xiaoyu coughed lightly: "Don't move yet." ”
Indeed, without Ke Haoyi's departure, the security guards of Mengren Film and Television will come out.
Malegobi's, blocking the cute boss's car at the gate of the cute man's house, is this giving our security guard eye medicine or is it a dead man when our security guard is a dead man!
Hula, a group of security guards poured out, and the leading security squad leader apologized to Mai Xiaoyu through the car window, and then led a group of people straight to Lexus in the way.
"No parking here, give you five seconds, hurry up!"
"Don't blame us for being rude!"
"Don't give face, don't you!"
"Don't talk nonsense, arrest someone and detain the car, call the police and let the traffic police tow the car away!"
……
In the midst of the babble, Zheng Keyu got off the Lexus.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to invite your boss to a banquet."
As the secretary of the board of directors, Zheng Keyu has a lot of aura, he walked over steadily, and spoke calmly, but he calmed the security guards, and the security guards didn't dare to do it.
"You wait."
The security squad leader ran back: "Mr. Mai, he said he came to invite you to the banquet." ”
Ke Haoyi said coldly: "You missed an opportunity to change your fate. ”
The security squad leader didn't understand.
Mai Xiaoyu recognized Zheng Keyu and said, "Forget it, you let him come over." ”
Zheng Keyu walked closer and saw that Mai Xiaoyu had no intention of getting out of the car, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He is the secretary of the board of directors, the secretary of the board of directors of Qingtian Group!
However, he was very good at controlling his emotions, bent down, through the half-lowered window, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mai, we Ning Dong invite you to the banquet tonight." ”
"Let him do it himself."
"Miss Sugar Yan has arrived."
Bang!
There was a fist outside the car window, Zheng Keyu covered the bridge of his nose and fell to the ground, blood flowing down his fingers.
The security squad leader finally understood Ke Haoyi's words......
