Chapter 787: Sincerity
Yesterday morning, Mai Xiaoyu received a call from Huo Jianhua, saying that Lin Xinru had recently returned to Beijing and would come to the house for dinner tonight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Considering that it was not suitable for two men and one woman to eat, and they were worried about being sprinkled with dog food, Mai Xiaoyu called Liu Tao and did not notify Huo Jianhua.
Therefore, Huo Jianhua was more surprised to see Liu Tao, he was not surprised to see Lin Xinru, but he was still surprised to see Liu Tao and Lin Xinru's best friend.
Now that he saw Liu Tao pulling Lin Xinru to introduce him, he said with a strange smile: "Sister Xinru, it seems that our fate is not shallow." ”
Lin Xinru smiled sweetly and stretched out her white and tender right hand: "We meet again, Mr. Mai." ”
The two shook each other slightly, and Liu Tao asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"
"Last year, I went to Taiwan Island to visit classes, and when I went to the night market with Shishi for supper at night, I happened to bump into the two of them dating. ”
"Mr. Mai!"
"Mr. Mai!"
Huo Jianhua and Lin Xinru said in unison, and Liu Tao covered his mouth and chuckled when he saw this.
Mai Xiaoyu handed the roast duck to Huo Jianhua: "Go and prepare, I'm hungry." ”
"When you're hungry, you eat a duck butt first, cooked. After eight seconds of silence, Huo Jianhua asked the three of them again, "Why didn't you react, isn't it funny?"
Mai Xiaoyu was speechless: "Wallace, everyone is so familiar, you don't have to tell your cold jokes anymore." ”
Liu Taojiao smiled: "It's a little cold." ”
Huo Jianhua looked at Lin Xinru for help, and the latter comforted: "I'll help you prepare food." ”
"Okay, then you slice the duck and put it in the microwave to heat it up, and I'll get something else. ”
Lin Xinru hesitantly took the roast duck; "I will slice it, microwave oven...... I won't use it. ”
"When are you going to tell bad jokes?"
Lin Xinru slapped Huo Jianhua angrily: "I'm serious." I just don't know how to use the microwave and don't know which button to press to set the time. There is also laundry, when I was in school, I went to the self-service laundry place to wash, and I couldn't use it for a long time, and finally asked my classmates to teach me. ”
Huo Jianhua looked at her in surprise, and Liu Tao reached out to pick up the roast duck: "I'm here." ”
"Don't. Mai Xiaoyu took Liu Tao's hand, "Today, we are guests, how can there be any reason for guests to cook." ”
Huo Jianhua also nodded again and again: "Mr. Mai is right, Sister Tao, you and Mr. Mai will sit first, and I will be responsible for heating the roast duck." ”
"Then I'll help you prepare something else. Lin Xinru followed Huo Jianhua into the kitchen, and before turning around, she deliberately glanced at the hands held by Mai Xiaoyu and Liu Tao.
Dinner was prepared quickly, and in less than twenty minutes, it was ready to eat.
Mai Xiaoyu looked at the food on the table and asked Huo Jianhua angrily, "Anyway, I am also your boss, you invite me to eat at home, just eat this?"
Huo Jianhua is not a master of cooking, and eating is relatively simple.
This time, he entertained Mai Xiaoyu and bought some semi-finished products from the supermarket in advance. It's the kind that can be eaten as soon as it is heated in the microwave, and there are even two servings of self-heating rice, which even saves the microwave.
The roast duck brought by Mai Xiaoyu became the only hard dish.
Or he could be ready in ten minutes?
Facing Mai Xiaoyu's sad and indignant questioning, Huo Jianhua seemed very calm: "You said that we are a family. ”
"Sister Xinru came to your house for dinner, are you embarrassed to use this to entertain others?"
"It's okay, I'll control my diet and eat some vegetable salad. ”
"Why bother with your stomach, we have a fitness club in the hospital, which is very convenient. As he spoke, Mai Xiaoyu winked at Lin Xinru.
Liu Tao looked at Mai Xiaoyu, and then at Huo Jianhua and Lin Xinru, and always felt that something seemed to be going on tonight.
Huo Jianhua spoke: "Look, I said that our boss is very smart......"
Lin Xinru glanced at him with disgust: "Eat first." ”
A simple meal, the four of them chatted while eating, and quickly talked about the acquaintance of Liu Tao and Lin Xinru.
It was two years ago, when Liu Tao and Lin Xinru starred in "Princess Dali", they formed a friendship and became good sisters. Although there have not been many opportunities for cooperation over the years, they have always kept in touch and the relationship is good.
Recalling the ups and downs of filming "Princess Dali" in the southwest border, Lin Xinru and Liu Tao have too many emotions and memories.
It's like a "nightmare" for the two, riding a horse on a mountain road less than two meters wide, or a night play, in order to strengthen their courage, the two put down the lady's shelf and shouted at each other at the top of their voices.
The sisters chatted very devotedly, Mai Xiaoyu and Huo Jianhua rarely interjected, and the two foodies mainly ate food.
Mai Xiaoyu wrapped a roast duck for Liu Tao from time to time, Huo Jianhua hesitated for a few minutes after seeing it, and also began to wrap roast duck for Lin Xinru.
The two beauties chatted and chatted, and suddenly there was no sound.
Mai Xiaoyu and Huo Jianhua looked up and found that Lin Xinru's expression was a little sad.
Huo Jianhua was confused, Mai Xiaoyu looked at Liu Tao, who explained softly: ""Princess Dali" has been filmed for several years, and it has not been broadcast yet. ”
This is one of the risks in the TV drama industry chain.
The previous ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties have passed, and the TV series has finally been filmed, which does not mean that the road ahead is smooth.
The problem is not necessarily in the process of selling the drama, but it may also be that after the TV station buys it, it is due to various internal and external reasons, and it has not been broadcast for a long time.
For example, the cute "Love Apartment" was removed from the original scheduled broadcast sequence. If it weren't for the hit on the Internet, Hu Ping wouldn't have decided to broadcast it during the summer vacation.
"Princess Dali" is Lin Xinru's transformation work after entering the mainland, she and Liu Tao were popular when filming, and after CCTV bought the premiere rights, they had high hopes for this drama.
But for various reasons, CCTV has pushed it again and again, and it has not been broadcast until now.
Liu Tao said that Meng Ren fully supports it, although it rarely occupies Meng Ren's internal resources, but he doesn't have to worry about taking on a good script.
Lin Xinru is different, not to mention a good script, it would be good to shoot fewer advertisements and act in a few more TV series.
Over the years, he has been consuming his previous popularity and popularity, watching the rise of one star after another in the entertainment industry.
Her fans care about her, saying that she is low-key and indifferent to fame and fortune, but she is an actress!
"Heart is like ......" Liu Tao held Lin Xinru's hand to show comfort.
Huo Jianhua opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Lin Xinru shook his head with a smile and opened the topic: "Mr. Mai, your company has been making big moves recently, and the media has been watching your company every day in February." ”
Mai Xiaoyu said with a smile: "After so many years, it's time to exert your strength." ”
Lin Xinru picked up the wine glass: "Then I wish Mr. Mai success and a great success." ”
"Thank you. ”
Four people clink glasses.
Mai Xiaoyu took a sip of wine, put down his wine glass, and said: "There are still too few TV series, only two." ”
"Isn't there another variety show, "Run, Brother" in cooperation with Blueberry Satellite TV...... It's a name, isn't it?"
"Yes. ”
Mai Xiaoyu nodded.
"I take the liberty of asking, why did you choose Dolphin TV? I remember that your company and Dolphin TV used to cooperate a lot. ”
"Because Dolphin TV has changed its director. ”
"Run, Brother", Mai Xiaoyu put forward the idea, theme, selling point, rules and gameplay, as well as part of the content, and then handed it over to Liang Pei, his variety show production department, and the company's screenwriters to land together.
After the completion of the project plan, Liang Pei contacted various first-line satellite TV and quasi-first-line satellite TV in addition to Dolphin Satellite TV.
With the connections he has accumulated during the Chinese New Year in the TV station circle, as well as the cute signboard, it is easy for him to contact the heads of various satellite TVs. But the vast majority of satellite TV is not interested in this project, because outdoor reality shows were replaced by talent shows within a few years of their rise in China.
Although television stations have successively carried out institutional reforms and changed from the management model of public institutions to the enterprise model, their nature is still that of public institutions under the guidance of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television.
Therefore, whether it is a television station that has completed the institutional reform or a television station that has not completed the institutional reform, the thinking mode of the station leaders cannot completely get rid of the thinking of public institutions.
No fault is a success!
It's hard to say whether the outdoor reality show can have a second spring, and "Run, Brother" has very high requirements for the capital cost and labor cost invested, so there is no need for the TV station to take this risk.
What if it fails?
Who is responsible for the damage caused to Taili?
Even if you succeed, you can still follow the trend, that is the safest choice.
Litchi Satellite TV and Mengren Film and Television jointly created the ace variety show "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", but they have the intention to be the first person to eat crabs again.
However, considering that outdoor shooting is prone to many unplanned accidents, which makes many uncontrollable elements added to the recording process of the show, they finally rejected the cute person.
Mango Satellite TV, which has just booked the exclusive broadcast rights of the cute drama "The Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family" at a high price, has shown interest in "Run, Brother". It's just that Mango Satellite TV is used to being strong, but Meng Ren is also a strong master, and the two sides can't talk about copyright issues.
There is only Blueberry Satellite TV, and there is a deputy director in the station who is Liang Pei's former classmate, and both of them work in the TV station, so they have a certain connection in the past. With the help of this relationship, Liang Pei wasted all his efforts, which persuaded Blueberry Satellite TV.
In fact, Blueberry TV also has its own considerations.
First of all, this year is the Olympic year, and most of the talent shows have been suspended.
This year, China will host the 29th Olympic Games, which opened on August 8, and the whole people are paying attention.
The highs and tides of those talent shows are often concentrated in the summer vacation, and when the Olympics are held, how many people will watch the draft PK and advance?
As a result, there will be a blank in this year's variety shows. And "Run, Brother" will not be affected, and the first season will be broadcast in September in the future, which can also fit the slogan of national fitness in the Olympic year.
Secondly, Blueberry TV attaches great importance to the selling point of the "Running Brother" project plan to promote tourist attractions.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are major tourism provinces, and from the perspective of tourist reception, they are in the first echelon, and Sujiang Province and East Guangdong Province are in the top three. However, from the perspective of tourism income, it can only be ranked in the second echelon, far less than the first echelon composed of Yanjing, eastern Guangdong and Donghai.
The whole province is a game of chess, as the provincial satellite TV of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, and it must also contribute to the GDP of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. There are many tourist attractions in the province, and if "Running Brother" is successful, it will definitely help the promotion of tourist attractions in the province, increase the number of tourists, and increase tourism income.
Considering the cute signboard and the big deal announced at the beginning of this year, Blueberry TV thinks it's worth a try. Therefore, he agreed to the requirements of Mengren Film and Television for the copyright of the program, and jointly created "Run, Brother".
Many things, don't look at what Mai Xiaoyu said lightly, in fact, the operation process is quite difficult, but he won't tell outsiders.
"Outdoor reality shows are not easy to do, Mr. Mai, are you sure?" Huo Jianhua interjected.
"There's not enough to take me, and I never take it lightly. For example, right now, I feel that the company's TV drama project this year is not enough. The latter sentence was said by Mai Xiaoyu looking at Lin Xinru.
Lin Xinru turned her head to avoid Mai Xiaoyu's gaze, and pulled the topic to Liu Tao: "Taotao hasn't starred in your company's TV series for a long time, you can open another one for her to star." ”
"What about that, what should I do if I'm tired of Taotao? I'm also going to cut back her announcements and let her gradually move behind the scenes. As he spoke, Mai Xiaoyu held Liu Tao's hand.
Liu Tao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately held Mai Xiaoyu's hand, and the two of them interlocked their fingers in front of Lin Xinru and Huo Jianhua.
Lin Xinru smiled knowingly, not surprised, but Huo Jianhua almost didn't jump.
"Mr. Mai, you, you, you, you ......"
"She's my girlfriend. Mai Xiaoyu raised his hand holding Liu Tao and shook it.
Huo Jianhua's whole person is not good.
His eyes were wide open and frightened, his hands were sometimes on the table, sometimes he was raised, his mouth was open and closed, he was about to speak, and he reacted greatly.
"Wallace, do you need to be so excited? What does it matter to you when we're together, we can't ...... You have a crush on me?"
"No kidding. It's not Mr. Mai, you ...... When did you start?"
"Very early, when filming Tenryu Babu. ”
"I didn't know?"
"That's your stupidity, the neck and the morning have already seen it. ”
"No, I, you, I still didn't expect that your secrecy work is too good. ”
"Therefore, you must continue to keep it a secret for us. ”
"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't tell anyone. ”
Mai Xiaoyu smiled at Lin Xinru: "Heart is like a sister......
"Tao Tao is my good sister, I will only bless her and keep it secret for her. In the future, when you get married, I will be a bridesmaid for Taotao. ”
"That's not going to work, you're too old. ”
Lin Xinru: "......"
"Wheat. Liu Tao snorted.
Mai Xiaoyu laughed twice, and then said, "Sister Xinru, you are my girlfriend's good sister, and Wallace's confidante, and you have a deep relationship with our company, how about we work together?"
Lin Xinru's contract with her old club is about to expire and she has not renewed her contract. This matter has been reported on the Internet, and there are many speculations, and several people here know about it.
And she was indeed moved by Mai Xiaoyu's promise on Taiwan Island last year, otherwise she would not have come to Huo Jianhua's house for dinner tonight. The only thing she worries about is whether Moe Ren has opened so many projects this year, and whether she still has enough resources and energy to spend on her.
The mainland film and television company she signed with before was a big bargain, and the scale was much larger than that of Meng.
The result?
After she signed the contract, the company's actresses ranked, and she couldn't even rank third!
The allocated resources are extremely limited, a lot of advertisements have been filmed, there are few film and television dramas that are serious, and the transformation of "Princess Dali" has been shelved indefinitely, and it has not been broadcast until now.
Mai Xiaoyu knew her concerns, got up and walked to the coat rack, took out a script from her bag, and put it in front of Lin Xinru: "This is a gift specially prepared by the company for your arrival." You join the company under the name of the studio and get acquainted with the various departments of the company.
Wait until this drama is broadcast next year, if the effect is good, your studio will go out independently, be your own boss, hang the company's name, and be treated the same as Huang Bo. At that time, the company will also work with your studio to create a big drama, and you are one of the producers, how about it?"
Feeling Mai Xiaoyu's sincerity, Lin Xinru looked at the script in front of her, then at Mai Xiaoyu, and asked movingly: "I'm just an outdated actor, is it worth it?"
Mai Xiaoyu stretched out his right hand: "Yu Gong, that is your previous company blind, Yu Zhi, you are Taotao's good sister, and you are also Wallace's red face, I can also remember the deceased Ziwei......"
"You, I'm not dead yet!" Lin Xinru sneered and held Mai Xiaoyu's hand again.
This time, both men had strong grips......
