Chapter 180: Once bitten by a snake

Publicity is very busy, and Chen Qiaoen, the only publicity specialist of Mengren Film and Television, has a deep understanding.

During the Spring Festival, the three songs of the Chopsticks Brothers were released and hit the charts, and from next week onwards, a large-scale publicity campaign will be carried out, and the matter of contacting the media will fall on her, and she will also be responsible for some press releases and advertorials on the Internet.

After joining the company in January, she was too busy to do so.

This morning, I ran two newspapers, both of which had been in contact before, and one of them promised to give Huang Bo and Deng Chao an exclusive interview next week.

When it was close to eleven o'clock at noon, Chen Qiaoen returned to the company and asked his colleagues, "Is Sister Liu here?"

"Sister Liu is discussing things in Mr. Mai's office. The colleague was very enthusiastic, "Good news for you, Mr. Mai just announced in the morning that after returning from the Spring Festival, the company will make another movie!"

Want to make a movie again?

As for being so excited?

Seeing that all the employees in the company were busy excitedly, Chen Qiaoen felt that he had a great responsibility.

I'm afraid they've been brainwashed by scammers!

General Manager Room.

Mengren big3, Liu Xiaoli, and Li Xue sat around the desk.

The preparatory work meeting of the crew of "Crazy Stone" ended in the conference room ten minutes ago.

At the meeting, Mai Xiaoyu arranged work for everyone.

The movie "Crazy Stone", screenwriter A Zheng, with a total investment of three million, is still a low-budget movie.

Liu Xiaoli served as the producer, responsible for liaising with the staff of various departments, selecting actors, and preparing for the crew.

Zhang Xiaoquan is the photographer and assists Liu Xiaoli in preparing the crew.

Yu Xiaoxing served as the director's assistant and assisted Liu Xiaoli in selecting actors.

Yuan Haozhou served as the assistant director, in addition to assisting Liu Xiaoli in preparing for the crew, he also had to recruit 20 actors among the company's members.

Li Xue has two tasks, one is to contact Guo Tao's agent, and the other is to inquire about a Xiangjiang actor named Lian Jin.

Mak Siu-yu was in charge of finding the location.

Now Yuan Haozhou is organizing the staff of the scouting department to work in full swing. And Xi Xiaoxing, Zhang Xiaoquan, Liu Xiaoli and Li Xue each had their own affairs, and after the preparatory meeting, they gathered in Mai Xiaoyu's office.

The four of you, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.

Mai Xiaoyu said helplessly: "What do you say?" ”

The four looked at each other again, Zhang Xiaoquan pushed Xiao Xing, and the latter said: "I think, I am now professional enough to be qualified as a director, and I am confident to make this movie well." ”

It was his dream to be a director, but the dream of being a director was broken by Liu Xiaoli.

"Let's contact Huang Lei, wasn't it very pleasant for him to cooperate with the company last time? Wait for the company to stabilize this year, and start a drama for you next year, is it okay?"

"Good. ”

Xi Xiaoxing agreed very happily, so happy that Mai Xiaoyu and Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but look at him several times.

Is this thing changing today?

After Xi Xiaoxing spoke, Li Xue also put forward her own opinions: "Mr. Mai, I feel that Huang Bo's role is too little. ”

Everyone has already read the script and knows the roles played by Huang Bo and Deng Chao in the play.

Deng Chaoxin took over a TV series, and the schedule conflict was inseparable, and it was understandable that he made a cameo appearance in the role of "Feng Dong" in the play.

What about Huang Bo?

He is a contracted artist of the company, and the company makes its own movies, so there is no reason not to reuse his own artists?

Even if he is asked to play the villain because of his image, he should also play the anti-No. 1 "Brother Dao". That character is also one of the protagonists, what's the deal with playing the little brother "Black Skin"?

Not to mention Li Xue, even Liu Xiaoli thinks that Huang Bo has too few roles.

Wasn't the original intention of making this movie for Huang Bo?

Why did he play a supporting role?

Mai Xiaoyu asked Huang Bo to be called in, followed by Deng Chao.

"Neck, do you have an opinion on playing 'Black Skin'?"

"Nope!"

Huang Bo's answer was categorical, which shocked Deng Chao, and the angry Li Xue glanced at him fiercely.

After the preparatory meeting, Huang Bo pulled Deng Chao to find the agent Li Xue, and asked her to find Mai Xiaoyu to help him fight for the role of the protagonist "Brother Dao".

Li Xue agreed, and also helped him fight for it, and got Liu Xiaoli's response.

But Huang Bo himself "dropped the chain", can Li Xue not be angry?

Deng Chao winked at him, he shook his head with a smile, and then folded his hands and smiled apologetically at Li Xue.

Mai Xiaoyu nodded: "There are only bad actors, no bad roles." What's wrong with the supporting roles? If you act well, you can still steal the show and be popular!"

Huang Bo and Deng Chao left the office, and Li Xue chased them out.

"Brother Bo, what's the matter with you, didn't you ask me to help you fight for the protagonist?" Li Xue complained.

Deng Chao didn't understand: "Brother Bo, should you take medicine?"

"Get out!" laughing and scolding Deng Chao, Huang Bo said seriously, "I just figured it out, this time the boss deliberately took care of me." ”

"What do you mean?" Deng Chao was inexplicable.

"You ask Xiaoxue. When did your contract arrive at the company, and when did the boss decide to make a movie?"

Deng Chao still didn't understand, and Li Xue reacted: "You mean to say that Mr. Mai made this movie because you didn't receive the play?"

Huang Bo nodded and said with emotion: "The boss is not thin with me, you say that if I am not satisfied, is it too unknowing?"

Deng Chao put his arm around his shoulders and cheered: "Then you can act well, don't embarrass Mr. Mai!"

It is impossible for a movie to be supported by one actor, let alone only a supporting role.

Liu Xiaoli came to Mai Xiaoyu to discuss the choice of the protagonist.

"Mr. Mai, why are you looking for Guo Tao to star?"

Guo Tao has been debuting for almost ten years, participated in many film and television works, and has accumulated a certain popularity.

But he rarely plays the leading role, especially in the past two years, and has never taken on a movie, except for participating in TV series, his main focus is on drama performances.

To put it bluntly, he is not a movie actor, so it is difficult to pick a lead!

"I don't know. Ah Zheng specially explained when he gave me the script, the role of 'Bao Shihong' must be starring Guo Tao, and I didn't have to choose. ”

If it doesn't make sense, it will all be pushed to Ah Zheng, which is Mai Xiaoyu's strategy.

"What about the other actors? That one named Lian Jin is also Ah Zhengxuan? I haven't heard of such a person in the circle, how did he know?"

Mai Xiaoyu shrugged: "I don't know either." Ah Zheng is very weird, I guess I saw it when I watched Hong Kong films. ”

A "Ah Zheng" blocked all the rhetoric carefully prepared by Liu Xiaoli.

She reluctantly turned to Xiao Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan, hoping that the two could persuade Mai Xiaoyu to change to a reliable protagonist, but the two said in unison: "Ah Zheng's vision will not be wrong, Sister Liu, you should go and get busy in advance." ”

"You seem to be in a hurry to drive me away?" Liu Xiaoli glanced at the two of them suspiciously, "Okay, I'll go see if Jon has come back, and arrange next week's promotional activities." ”

After Liu Xiaoli left, Xi Xiaoxing immediately went over and locked the door, Zhang Xiaoquan stared at Mai Xiaoyu, and asked in a deep voice: "Yu'er, do you have to go to the mountain city to choose the scene?" (To be continued.) )
