231 A smile is money

(I ask for a ticket for a head!) )

The sandstorm lasted for three days, and when it ended, the sky in Seoul was as clean as ever. According to the argument of popular psychology, people's accusations and attention to scandals will only last for three days, after which they will continue with their lives, but if someone leads or instigates them, this accusation and attention will continue and develop into the result of quantitative to qualitative change according to the clustering effect.

When you get off the search ranking, no one cares, you can't enjoy the video after the silence, no one tortures your ears anymore when the topic loses heat, and then no one discusses it, and the last thing is to disappear.

The weather in Seoul for the past three days has been like this silence event, and the end result is that the sky is as blue as ever.

Has lip-synching really been eradicated?

No one knows what to do, and even if someone who has spent a lot of energy on it will not care for a few days. For the public, this is entertainment to kill time, and the entertainment industry has done its job and will continue to work in the future.

Lin Weiran, who stopped the incident, also didn't care, because he knew the word cultural tourism, and South Korea, which had successfully promoted its own culture with a developed entertainment industry, did not allow lip-syncing to be defined as a Korean singer, and it would virtually eliminate all the effects caused by the incident, just like the X-Files back then.

Virtual idols are famous in the circle, relying on An Shaoxi's plot to make many middle-aged uncles laugh, it will gradually become a good place for middle-aged people to have fun, and that day will not be too far away.

These were Lin Weiran's original intentions, but because of those thousand mugs, he had what he wanted again. Peripherals are a field full of huge profits, a thousand mugs can make a joint profit of 30 million for Shinhan and JYP because of one event, if you can get the copyright of the idol and make peripheral products based on the cartoon image of the virtual idol, the profit will make the 30 million only a fraction, even if it is rounded up.

After a shallow taste, Lin Weiran, who knew the taste of the marrow, knew that he was restrained, because he knew that if he opened his mouth too much, many prey would be scared away.

At the same time, Lin Weiran's first investment in the Korean TV drama production industry through Han Weiyi has also officially entered the public account of the production department, and the investment contract was signed as early as half a month ago.

Even though Han Weiyi, who directly pulled Lin Weiran into the blacklist because of a ridicule, looks a little stingy, but what is undoubted is her ability. As an investor, the Xinhan production department does not need to personally participate in the production of this TV series, but Han Weiyi is not easy to refuse the request of the director, screenwriter, and producer representatives, as well as the male and female protagonists to invite the producer to meet.

She asked Zheng Enna to bring the words to Lin Weiran, and at the same time conveyed a sentence.

"Whether you go or not, you can do it yourself."

In fact, it is better for Lin Weiran not to go to this kind of meeting, after all, if this kind of link of laundering money is made by the other party to know that he is an investor, it will inevitably leave hidden dangers. But a very interesting situation in the Korean film and television industry still made Lin Weiran happy to go.

According to the material, the total annual production of Korean films is 225 billion won, and the amount invested in television production is five times or more. Although the Korean drama industry has shown a kind of abnormal prosperity due to the current situation of the popularity in Asia in the past few years, this figure also shows that the way for Korean dramas to recoup funds is much more than that of Korean films relying solely on the box office, and the speed of recovering funds is also incomparable to that of films.

Lin Weiran has produced a daily drama, because the daily drama itself is not as good as a miniseries, and he has little contact with the production process in this area, so he doesn't know much about it. But if he wants to make this investment a channel, it will be necessary for him to understand the processes himself. …,

A total of five people participated in the meeting, namely director Chen Hyuk, screenwriter Su Hyun-jing, production company PD Kong Sang-hyun, and male and female leading actors Lee Seung-gi and Han Hyo-joo. The location was not chosen in a conference room with a strong working atmosphere, but in an open-air café.

Seoul in March is full of spring, and although the weather is still a little cool, the warmth of the sun has already made people take off their thick coats. The café is set on the second floor, which is an open-air balcony, Lin Weiran has just shown his head, and the five people who arrived early have already got up to greet him.

"Representative Lin."

"Hole making." The handshake and greeting, the eternal procedure, it is difficult for ordinary people to see anything from it, but Lin Weiran felt that Kong Shangxian was obviously relieved. I was confused, and this meeting seemed to have some special significance.

"You are welcome, you may be seated."

Seeing the rest of the people who got up but didn't want to make the scene so grand, Lin Weiran spoke very relieved. I came to the scene with the intention of getting in touch with the TV drama production industry, and there was no need to stand in place and put on the lead of some big shots, and make the scene hierarchical, but it was not good.

"Representative Lin, let me introduce you."

[Text]

The meeting was carried out according to the procedure, and Lin Weiran, who was seated, only then did he face the main creative team of the crew under the introduction of Kong Shangxian, the director Chen He is a middle-aged uncle in his forties, and his face is quite kind, but the look at Lin Weiran made him feel a little wary, and the two looked at each other and nodded slightly.

In contrast, screenwriter Su Xianjing is much more direct, seeing Lin Weiran's eyes and expressions only gives him a feeling that he is a trouble.

"Kong production, the rest is not needed, smiling angel Han Hyo-joo, national brother Lee Seung-gi, I still know these two."

The program came to an abrupt end, and the atmosphere on the scene immediately became a little awkward, the short-haired Han Hyo-joo nodded lightly to Lin Weiran and smiled implicitly, while Lee Seung-gi smiled and rounded: "I am also playing the virtual idol represented by Lin, and the plot of the Girls' Generation part has been cleared, and now I am looking forward to the new plot in early April." ”

"Hope won't let you down."

Lin Weiran has a proper interface, and the situation on the scene is already obvious. I don't know what trouble he has made for Lu, and he chooses to get straight to the point about this confused situation: "If you have any questions, you can say it directly, in fact, I just met with you on behalf of Mr. Zhao, and I believe you can already feel that Mr. Zhao attaches great importance to this investment." ”

The reason for this scene is this attention.

Chen He, who has just been promoted from assistant director to director, has a lot of expectations for this splendid legacy, and it is not easy to invite a screenwriter like Su Xianjing, who is known for his strength, but this mysterious investor makes him sleepless all night, and the doubts in his heart make him no longer believe in Han Weiyi's credibility.

But in the face of Lin Weiran, he was still patient, and asked stereotypedly: "I don't know what the requirements of the investors for the crew are?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the five people at the table were all focused on Lin Weiran.

Request?

It is well known in the film and television industry that investors can influence casting, and Lin Weiran did not point a finger at this, isn't it a good thing that directors and screenwriters should be deeply gratified?

Even if he doesn't understand, but this is obviously not the occasion to be honest at this time, Lin Weiran groaned and asked rhetorically: "I don't know how much Director Chen He can accept?" ”

Sure enough, there was a problem, and the five people present except Lin Weiran all looked pale, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Even a signed TV series may be stillborn, and the forceful withdrawal of investors is one of the most common reasons. At this point in time when even the press conference has been held, the position of Chen He and others is very passive.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to make a call." …,

Lin Weiran got up suddenly, and then threw down the table of people who had all their hearts on him, and walked into the room along the balcony on the second floor of the café. The eyes of the five men followed his back until he disappeared from the side.

"Brother, is this really Han Weiyi's investment?" "Hey, haven't you seen her? It's not that she didn't attend the press conference, and she will participate in the crew's worship ceremony in a few days, if it wasn't for her investment, do you think she would be so attentive? ”

Kong Shangxian blushed because he was suspected by Chen He's succession of suspicions, and this series of unkind questions made Chen He embarrassed. This investment did not start from a few common channels in the circle, Kong Shangxian naturally had doubts in his heart, but with Han Weiyi's reputation in the film and television industry for so many years, he still chose to believe in the other party.

confirmed that the money came from a Chinese investor, Kong Shangxian made up his mind, but he didn't expect that when the money was transferred to the public account, he actually directly used the name of Shinhan Advertising, and Lin Weiran, who had only heard about it on weekdays but had not been in contact with it, suddenly became the direct manager of this investment. The sudden variables made the entire creative team all soldiers.

"As long as he doesn't ask for anything weird to be added to the script, I'll accept whatever the conditions."

Su Xianjing directly stated that the splendid legacy is her ambitious work, and if she is stillborn, then this script will no longer be on the screen.

This TV series was conceived and planned by Chen He and Su Xianjing, and the content of the script has been perfected for a long time, of course Chen He didn't want months of hard work to be in vain, he made a decision and asked directly: "What about Seungji, do you have any problems in that regard?" "What can I have a problem here, as long as it's not a character that damages my image, and the agency is fine, I'm fine." Lee Seung-gi replied with a smile, his smiling appearance was still in line with his title of national brother, not to mention kindness, but also made people feel very sunny. But in this scene, his promise carried a little bit of wisdom and self-preservation.

The only one on the table who hadn't spoken yet was Han Xiaozhu, and when the eyes of several people looked over, Han Xiaozhu always felt that there was something strange in those eyes.

On the other side, Lin Weiran, who was hung up twice, persevered, and when he dialed the third time, the call was finally connected.

"Hey, women just don't want to talk to you when they hang up on your phone."

Listening to her unkind tone, she knew that Lu Dao was still angry, Lin Weiran couldn't understand why Han Weiyi, who usually looked down-and-out and generous, could be so sensitive on such an issue, but now was obviously not the time to be serious with her.

"But in the face of work problems, we should put aside the dispute for the time being and create a harmonious future."

"Where did you learn these words?"

Lin Weiran coped and said: "It's not important, the important thing is that five people are waiting for me to make conditions outside, and this is our first miniseries, to make a name for the Shinhan production department, I don't expect dozens of percent of the ratings, but I will never allow others to treat me as a rookie who can be fooled." ”

Listening to Han Weiyi on the other end of the phone, Lin Weiran added: "This also involves your interests." ”

"There are a lot of conditions that can be mentioned, such as the selection of sponsors, the limitation of outdoor shooting venues, and free product placement and casting. Now that the roles have all been finalized, these are the few that remain. ”

Sure enough, she is a woman who knows when she should do something. Thinking of this, Lin Weiran suddenly wanted to take a look at this woman's unknown appearance, of course, it was better not to be the object.

"Thank you."

He thanked him softly, and was about to put down the phone, but he heard Han Weiyi suddenly say: "By the way, you can also find an actress to accompany you for a drink." I think about it, Han Hyo-joo's words should be compromised, this drama is very important to her, because she didn't have any good works last year, and it happened to be rumored that her acting skills were not good, so it is estimated that she should be mentally prepared. ”…,

Her voice suddenly became soft: "You love me, how good ......"

Lin Weiran's voice suddenly became serious: "I think it is necessary for you to correct your attitude towards me. ”

"What? Minister Han and Representative Lim? Or maybe it's Han and Mr. Zhao? ”

Not surprisingly, with Han Weiyi's cleverness, it is really not difficult to think of who Mr. Zhao is. Lin Weiran groaned and said, "Don't warn me, the money has already entered the public account set up by Shinhan and TV stations, and you and I are already in the same boat." ”

"So, do we need to divide the subordinates...... Mr. Zhao. ”

Ignoring her successive provocations, Lin Weiran whispered, "We'll meet tonight." ”

Women do have their natural advantages in many ways, but because of their sensitive nature, they will inevitably be cranky. Han Weiyi is not suspicious, and she also has the greed and ambition necessary for a successful woman, but this heart is still a little worse.

Putting down the phone, Lin Weiran characterized Han Weiyi's reaction as fear, the profit of virtual idols in the whole year last year was not a small number, which means that Han Weiyi, who wants to clean up this money, needs to take a lot of risks and pressures. It is also common sense for women in this state to be mean.

Back on the balcony, Lin Weiran smiled, and his requirements for the crew really didn't involve any principled issues.

"If possible, we will choose Yilian Group as the sponsor of the clothing this time."

Lin Weiran, who made a request, relieved everyone present. Kong Shangxian immediately smiled and said: "There should be no problem with this, it is hard and troublesome to find sponsorship, with the recommendation of Representative Lin, I think Yilian Group will definitely agree with us." ”

Hearing the relief in Kong Shangxian's laughter, and hearing that he chose Yilian as a sponsor instead of recommending his brilliant inheritance to Yilian, Lin Weiran realized how much pressure his lack of requirements had brought to several people.

"Writer Su, if it's okay, I think it's necessary to add the part of virtual idols in a limited number of scenes, such as when the male protagonist is depressed, he will play this game and laugh? I'm sorry, I haven't read the script, I wonder if Lu Dao's request is a bit excessive? ”

Lin Weiran said as kindly as possible, a top actor in the Korean film and television industry is a good writer, and this is even more true in the crew. Lin Weiran's investment in Korean TV dramas is not a ticket, if you want to keep this channel for a long time, it is still necessary to have a good relationship with writers.

Su Xianjing replied with a smile: "Representative Lin doesn't have to worry about this, when the time comes, as long as you take an AE from Xinhan, we can discuss the specifics." ”

AE, also known as a planning writer, does what Lim did when she first entered Shinhan, and it was mainly about coming up with an interesting idea or turning a product concept into a clear selling point. Lin Weiran's planning at that time could not be called advertising planning, and the key to it was the immaturity of the concept transformation. Now Lin Weiran needs to be responsible for the operation of the entire company, so naturally he will not invest more energy in this aspect.

The next thing to face is Chen He, if you are too friendly when you meet for the first time, you will be easily characterized, Lin Weiran doesn't want to make a few people not care much with the image of a good person.

"Director Chen, in the casting of this TV series, I don't know what you planned?"

Just returned to the fun, the next question was immediately targeted, the atmosphere on the table was controlled by Lin Weiran, and the others naturally only followed seven up and eight down, and the five people in their hearts were mixed.

Chen He replied with a deep groan: "Of course, it is considered through the script......"

"You misunderstood what I meant, what I said was the plan, to be precise, it was the ratings, Director Chen's last participation in the Wind Painter had Moon Geun Young and Park Shin Yang joining, and the ratings were only an average of 14 percent, although I know that the investment in this drama is not as good as that of the Wind Painter, but I believe that Su Xianjing and I don't want it to be the national anthem ratings."

Lin Weiran cut off Chen He's words, and then beat him up in a row, seemingly dissatisfied with the casting.

Without waiting for Chen He to speak, he said again: "Of course, the casting is over, you don't have to worry that I will meddle in this matter, Director Chen has his own considerations, I can understand, but I have really heard a lot of bad rumors." ”

He suddenly looked at Han Xiaozhu and asked stiffly: "Miss Han Xiaozhu, although it is a little rude to ask this for the first time, I really want to know Lu Dao,

"Are you just a smiling angel?"

was questioned about his acting skills in person, and with the director and writer present, Han Hyo-joo's situation was naturally embarrassing. She pursed the corners of her mouth, clenched her fists slightly under the table, and then smiled and said, "I remember when I first got the name of Smiling Angel, my agent complimented me like this, and he said that my smile is money." ”

Then, she suddenly retracted her smile and said with a determined expression, "However, any expression I want me to make is money." ”

Lin Weiran looked directly into her eyes, pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'm looking forward to it." ”…… (To be continued.) [This text is provided to you by @smllboy6] If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation)
