Chen Nan couldn't figure out Xia Rui's thoughts, but he didn't say anything in front of those two people, but after getting out of the teahouse and getting into the nanny car, he couldn't help asking: "What do you mean, you plan to invest in this script?" ”

"With this intention, I have read the script, and I feel that it is quite interesting." Xia Rui said, "What does the company think? ”

"In fact, this script has been sent to other people." Chen Nan was concise and to the point, proving that Xia Rui was not the only person in the company who received this script, but he was the only one who was more excited.

"......" Xia Rui's expression was also embarrassed, "So, I'm the only one who threw himself into the net." ”

"Actually, if you say that, it can't be counted, if you read the script, these two people still have a lot of ideas," Chen Nan said, "But from the perspective of an agent, what they just said is right, even if they can have the funds to start this shooting project, you will not be able to become the starring actor at that time, unless you plan to give up your current studies and re-enter the film and television school." ”

Xia Rui gave Chen Nan a look of how could it be, Chen Nan shrugged, and was not surprised to get such an answer at all, "Okay, then since from an agent's point of view, since you don't really want to go to Director Lin's movie, then you can wait, Director Yu's TV series has been filmed, and now the creation of the movie is underway, if the situation is better, Maybe you can show the clothes in the movie you directed, and often compare the bluffing and the scarf, the dark curtain is not the backdrop, the art is pulled, the art is pulled, the art is drawn, the garden is the garden, the ∫ is in a trance

"My time is not fixed, I know." Xia Rui naturally picked up Chen Nan's words, and there was no need to remind her, so the current situation means that she is impossible to link with any female lead, and the only thing she can fight for is a heavier type of supporting role.

When Chen Nan saw Xia Rui say this, he raised his glasses, she just knew that she could bring a lot of toss, and he, the agent, spent a lot more time on her than on other people's time.

"And what do you think of this script?" Xia Rui asked, don't look at Chen Nan, sometimes he speaks awkwardly, but he is still very serious.

"The script is okay, the director is still very important," Chen Nan said, "In addition to the good script, as a director, you have to be able to grasp it, if the director's ability is not good, in the end it is still a good script." I haven't had much contact with the people just now, so I can't say whether I can make this drama well or not. ”

Chen Nan has also read the script, according to the script, it is indeed good, but the important thing is the director's grasp of the problem, which is also the reason why many film and television companies that have fallen in love with the script just want to buy the script and start filming themselves.

"Of course, there are risks in terms of investment, and there are also movies with big investments by famous directors that can't even get back at the box office in the end." Chen Nan said that this kind of thing is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, investment is originally risky, just like playing stocks, no one can guarantee that the price will be able to rise in the end, and it is also a common thing for famous directors to miss, and there are also movies made by new directors at low cost that have increased their box office revenue several times in the end.

Chen Nan can't say that he supports Xia Rui to do this, after all, this matter depends on Xia Rui's own intentions.

Xia Rui can't make up her mind, to be honest, she really hasn't done anything about investment when she's so old, she basically spends the money in the family, and the only thing she has bought is probably to go to the antique market with her grandfather to Taobao in the past, but basically she didn't give money. Now, one basically keeps the activity within a few fixed points, and basically there is not much time to consume, let alone invest in anything.

She is not too familiar with the circle of the entertainment industry, so she either asks her cousin to give her advice, but when she thinks of looking for Ji Lang, Xia Rui feels that it is actually no different from the whole family knowing.

Xia Rui decided to contact Xie Yu after thinking about it, because she felt that Xie Yu had been in this circle for so long, and in the current situation where artists are competing for various investments from the boss, Xie Yu should also have experience.

The time difference between the two, and then she was embarrassed to disturb Xie Yu when he was still resting, until more than nine o'clock in the evening, and it was already morning on the American side that she sent a message to Xie Yu.

Xie Yu just finished yesterday, and it is rare that he doesn't have to run on the set anymore, Xie Yu also slept soundly in the morning, and only woke up vaguely when he heard the sound of information.

When he saw that the message was sent from Xia Rui, he suddenly sobered up a little, and he didn't send a message as usual, so he called directly.

"You haven't rested so late? Is there something wrong? Xie Yu's voice was still a little sleepy, with a little lazy, and his deep voice became more and more magnetic, if it were his fans, if they heard the idol speak in such a voice, they would have already screamed over there and were going to get pregnant.

Xia Rui also froze when she heard Xie Yu's voice, "Brother Xie, are you still sleeping?" ”

"No, I'm awake." Xie Yu hurriedly said, "I'm hesitating whether to get up, and it just so happened that you contacted me, which is a coincidence." What's wrong? Is there anything you want me to help with? ”

"Oh, it's just that I thought that Brother Xie you have been in the circle for a long time, and you should know a little more than me, so I want to ask you." Xia Rui said, "I don't know if it's convenient or not." ”

"What's inconvenient, just ask, as long as I can answer, it will definitely answer you." Xie Yu said, "If I can't answer, then I'll help you ask others, and someone will be able to answer after all." ”

"Okay," Xia Rui also laughed a little in her voice when she heard Xie Yu's answer, "It's that I have a script here, and it's quite interesting for me to look at the script, but it's the director and screenwriter who created it together, because the two of them are not famous, so they didn't get investment, but the two of them didn't plan to sell the script." ”

As soon as Xie Yu heard Xia Rui's words, he could probably guess what was going on: "Those two people are also quite stubborn in this matter, right?" Generally speaking, if there are no well-known directors and screenwriters and no investors, it is basically difficult to do things. Even sometimes you have to compromise with others, if you are optimistic about this script, I think there should be film and television companies that will take a fancy to it, that is not to agree to the participation of two people, or at most to participate is to put a name on an assistant director or screenwriter team, right? ”

This kind of thing is not uncommon in full-time, so Xie Yu didn't think it was so strange, after all, of course, the film and television company also has to think about its own interests, "Then you plan to invest in your own filming?" ”

"......" Listening to Xie Yu's natural question, Xia Rui was also silently speechless, no, the investors in the circle brought capital into the group to support people, but when it came to her, even if she was willing to be an investor, people still didn't want her to be the number one woman.

Xia Rui hooked the power cord of the computer with her fingers, and her voice was very unwilling: "People say that even if I am an investor, it is impossible for them to let me be the female number one, and they dislike that I have no time to shoot." And you know, when they handed me the script, they also said that I could choose the role, but it turned out to be a big hole. ”

Xie Yu couldn't help but smile a little when he heard Xia Rui's voice with a little grievance, he could fully imagine how depressed Xia Rui was when he knew the truth, he definitely couldn't laugh at this time, if he laughed, he would definitely not be able to.

He cleared his throat and said, "That's really hateful, so what do you mean?" If it is a modern drama investment, it will at least start at the million-level level. If it's a costume, there's even more of it, and you have to customize the clothes, and you have to spend a lot on the studio. ”

"That's why I came to ask Brother Xie what you learned, I really like that film, but if you invest in filming, isn't it afraid that something will happen at that time, I don't know much about this." Xia Rui said, "Although they told me the truth in the end, in fact, they can understand that my brother said that I don't want to do anything good with such an estimate, because the filming time is too short, and other directors have to dislike me too." ”

"Aren't there many people in the circle who would think about investing in filming movies and TV series, Brother Xie, have you invested in other industries?" Xia Rui asked, "This is the first time I've been involved in investment, and I don't know much about it." I don't know many people in the circle. ”

Xie Yu's first thought when he heard Xia Rui was that he was also happy, "Actually, your situation, it is still quite common in the circle, such as the stars who have opened their own studios now have also begun to invest in filming, and even some stars have signed in the studio." I've also invested in other industries, since you want to listen to my opinion, then I built yours like this, if the investment cost is not too big, if you really like this script, then you can invest, but your investment can't be thrown away in vain, there must always be a result, so when the time comes to build the crew, you must still have your people in the past, such as the consumption of investment costs, you have to be clear, you can't throw away the money when the time comes, and nothing comes out. ”

"Of course, you can't always be there to keep an eye on the progress, if you invest alone, maybe there will be other messes, and my advice is that you can pull some more investment over to take risks." Xie Yu thought about it for a while, Xia Rui probably came into contact with this aspect of the matter for the first time, and it is not easy to say that it is too complicated, "After the filming of domestic TV dramas, the first round of satellite TV does not exceed two stars, that is, at most two satellite TVs, although there are no regulations in the second round, but generally speaking, the quotation at the beginning of the second round is gradually decreasing, and of course, there are also DVDs and online broadcasts." However, in the absence of a big cast system, the price of the first round of satellite TV will probably not be too high. "Under normal circumstances, unless it can't pass the review, if it can be broadcast, it will generally not lose money, and the competition is just a matter of ratings.

Thinking about it, this is really a troublesome thing, Xia Rui thought, it turns out that there are so many troublesome things to make a TV series.

"It's troublesome." Xia Rui said, "Just listening to it makes me feel very troublesome." ”

"No way, this thing is quite troublesome in the first place." Xie Yu said, "Don't look at it so easily, in fact, there are still many TV series that have been filmed in China that can't be broadcast." ”

"Brother Xie, are you letting me invest or not letting me invest?" Xia Rui said that he had originally made up his mind about whether to invest in it, but after he said this, he completely had a feeling of "your money is likely to be directly lost".

Xie Yu had a somewhat low laugh on the other end of the phone, as if he was laughing in Xia Rui's ear, "Then why don't you do it, I'll introduce you to a film and television company?" There are people I know over there, and when the time comes, let someone talk to you, and if you can, maybe you can invest in this script at that time, what do you think? ”

Xie Yu felt that Xia Rui probably really liked this script, or she wouldn't have come to ask herself, but she couldn't make up her mind, and she probably didn't know too much about the twists and turns in the circle, and after she said this, she didn't understand the entertainment industry too much. He also has a film and television company in his hand, and it is not a big deal for him to pay for a script, and he also wants to see what kind of script can attract her.

"Isn't that okay?" Xia Rui thought for a while and said, "It always feels like my elbow is turning out, or I'd better go talk to my brother and them first." ”

When the time comes, she will go to cooperate with the film and television company introduced by Xie Yu, no matter how she says it, she feels a little weird, and it is always a little unreasonable, and if the film and television company does not agree or if something happens after the filming starts, won't it be a matter of disappointing Xie Yu's kindness and causing trouble for him, then how to explain to someone at that time, he kindly gave her an answer and returned it to the introducer, and when the trouble is big, I don't know how to get along when I look up and look down in the circle.

"Thank you, Brother Xie, for your kindness, I don't think I can handle this matter alone, I'd better discuss it with my family first." Xia Rui said, "Brother Xie, when will you come back, I'll invite you to dinner!" ”

Xie Yu was not annoyed when she heard Xia Rui's answer, no matter how Xia Rui chose, as long as she was happy, when she heard her ask when she would come back, Xie Yu was also full of helplessness, he also wanted to come back early, "Maybe I'll come back at Christmas." ”

Just thinking about Christmas, Xie Yu also felt that it was really far enough, "Are you just inviting me to dinner?" Shouldn't you have come to pick me up at the airport? ”

"Then if there are so many people at the airport by then, you won't be able to see me if I go!" Xia Rui said with a smile, thinking of the exaggerated scene when those fans picked up the airport at the airport, where could she squeeze through? "But Brother Xie, if you want me to be like a fan, holding flowers and chanting my name in my hand, then I can do it too."

"That's okay, I'll be waiting for you to send me flowers at the airport, if you don't send me, I won't agree." Xie Yu said with a smile, "Don't feel embarrassed like this again!" ”

"I'm afraid of being embarrassed, if you really want me to pick me up, I'll send you flowers in front of your fans, and then call you uncle." Xia Rui said, "I don't know who will be disgraced when the time comes!" ”

Xie Yu thought about it, Xia Rui could really do this kind of thing.

"Forget it, you can just wait for me outside the airport then." Something like being called uncle by her in front of her fans will definitely become "black history".

Xia Rui was also a little entangled when she heard Xie Yu's voice, and couldn't help laughing, "Then Brother Xie, you are busy." ”

"Well, good night." Xie Yu said, he gently pressed the hang up button, the phone was a little hot because it had been attached to his cheek for a long time, Xie Yu opened the calendar and glanced at the time, looking at the days before Christmas, he also felt a little helpless counting these days, and he was determined to reduce the idea of taking pictures next year, and it was indeed time to rest for a while, so if he continued to shoot, he really wanted to become an "uncle".

After Xia Rui got Jian Yiyi from Xie Yu's side, she simply went to find Ji Lang.

Ji Lang felt a headache when he saw Xia Rui, and finally entrusted someone to Chen Nan, thinking that Xia Rui would let her play if she wanted to play in the circle, but she was still able to play a lot of things for herself, and he also felt tired, and finally stopped recently, but when he saw this eldest lady again, he was like a big enemy at this moment.

"Brother, I want to invest in this script." Xia Rui said and handed the script to Ji Lang, and his attitude was still well-behaved and clever, but what he said still gave Ji Lang the same headache.

"I remember that you still have variety shows, right, before Chen Nan and I decided to try to let you go in the direction of the film industry in the future, can you spare all this time to care about this kind of thing?"

Ji Lang took the script, in fact, he also heard about it from Chen Nan, he originally thought that she would give up after thinking about it, but after thinking about it, she didn't give up yet?

Ji Lang and Chen Nan plan to let Xia Rui go to the movie line, which is also strategic, they can save a lot of things in a year, and they can still study obediently in school every day in normal times, the important thing is that Ji Lang was also told by the old man here, what is not good to arrange, you have to arrange those bitter and tired reality shows, and Ji Lang is also out of trouble, okay, let go of the reality show and the like, then go directly to the direction of the movie, tall enough to be forced, and you can't blame him for not looking back at the script, After all, there are few good scripts in China in a year, and it is not her turn to be abroad for the time being, so there will be time to accompany the old man at home, so that he can save trouble and the old man can be satisfied.

But the investment in this aspect of the matter, it really does not conflict with what he set at the beginning, Ji Lang asked Chen Nan to take the script to him after knowing this, indeed the script is okay, he also thinks that the shooting should be okay, the audience is quite wide, but he bites the bite over there and does not plan to sell the script, if he invests in filming here, he always has to think about ratings and word of mouth, so he wants to talk about this matter again.

"I bite over there and don't plan to sell the script alone," Ji Lang thought for a while and said, "I have already read the script before, and I can let you and the company invest in the filming of this script, so if all of them are newcomers, the ratings will definitely not be guaranteed at that time, but if some famous stars are enabled, the investment cost will increase." And I remember that the other party has already said that even if you invest in shooting, it is impossible for the female number one to give it to you, Rui Rui, what are you doing? ”

"I think the script is good, although I can't be the female number one, but I can also make a cameo appearance in a unit drama, there must be a lot of days from the early preparation to the start of filming, I must be on winter vacation at that time, and it's no problem for me to appear in a unit drama at that time." "Of course, it would be better if the investment could pay off. ”

Ji Lang almost blurted out and asked her if she hadn't given pocket money at home recently, and after thinking about it, he said, "In this way, I'll talk to someone first, what is required over there is the right to direct and the screenwriter's naming right, which is not impossible, but it is impossible for me to be completely by people, in case the effect of filming is not what I need, I must not let people shoot indiscriminately at that time, and then determine how much investment cost is needed for the whole drama, and then you will determine how much you plan to invest, okay?" ”

Ji Lang thought that it would be better for him to come forward than to be fooled by someone casually for a few words of investment at that time, and he could also send someone from the crew here to control it.

"That'll do well." Xia Rui thought about it, Ji Lang is much more proficient than her in this aspect, he must be more skilled than her, and the entertainment is also guaranteed, "Maybe brother, you will be able to dig out good screenwriters and directors by then, maybe you can recruit a few newcomers by then, isn't this also a good choice for the company!" Didn't some seniors in the circle say that many times it is because the director has no money and no connections that he can't make the movie he wants the director wants. We also have to have the courage to discover talents! ”

"Hehe, there are a lot of high-cost and low-box office movies in that circle, have you sued you, the director has money and connections, and the movie that the director wants comes out, but the audience doesn't buy it, and he didn't even get a nomination back at major film festivals, so that investors lose money and only have pants left?" Ji Lang said.

……

Well, that's a reality as well.

"But what we're talking about now is filming TV series, the requirements for TV series are not so high, you can't get on the first line, you can still have two or three lines, one round, two rounds, three rounds, a few rounds in the past, plus online broadcast DVD sales, and local stations and the like, generally won't let us lose our pants," Xia Rui thought for a while and said, "Oh, by the way, how ...... I am when I wear a skirt"

Ji Lang stretched out his hand and poked Xia Rui's head, "You talk a lot!" What you said, when I ask you to invest, don't cry poor with me! ”

"No, I'll ask my mother to provide costume sponsorship for the crew, and we can save a sum of money on the costume fee when the time comes!" Xia Rui said, "As long as you don't find me that kind of first-line star, the cost investment is not so big." ”

"Yo, how shrewd you learned!" Ji Lang said, I didn't expect that this girl actually understood a lot about the things in this circle, which is really rare.

"I asked Xie Yu's seniors for advice in advance." Xia Rui said proudly.

"What?" Ji Lang was shocked, "When did you have such a good relationship with Xie Yu?" ”

In Ji Lang's mind, the eight big characters of Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang suddenly appeared.
