Chapter 323: Behind the Scenes
was "hand-picked" by Lin Youlun as the heroine of "The Great Era", Zhou Haimei was very happy in front of Zhou Comin, but as soon as Zhou Comin left, he immediately made a bitter face, and his favorite steak tasted the same as chewing wax at this time.
Lu Liangwei looked at Zhou Haimei with an absent-minded look, and felt very puzzled in his heart, "What, you don't want to act in this play?" ”
"It's not that I don't want to, but because Sister Zhen ......" Zhou Haimei bit her lip lightly, and there was a hesitant and struggling expression in her eyes.
After the expiration of the long-term contract between Lu Liangwei and Wireless, he changed the head contract, and in the past two years, the business center has been on movies, and he has limited knowledge of some things within Wireless.
"You know that I have been filming under Sister Zhen since I joined TVB, and Mr. Lin asked me to shoot this TV series under the name of Liang Jiashu, Sister Zhen and Liang Jiashu have always been at odds, if I agree, Sister Zhen will definitely be unhappy." Zhou Haimei's eyes were full of worry, and her mood was very low.
Listening to her explanation, Lu Liangwei found that this matter was indeed a headache.
On the one hand, Sister Zhen, who treats Zhou Haimei well, and on the other hand, Lin Youlun, who is about to become the director of wireless, is not easy to offend.
"When I was making movies before, I had contact with Mr. Lin, he is not the kind of person who is unreasonable, he must not know about this situation, otherwise he would not have asked you to act in this play." Lu Liangwei comforted Zhou Haimei for a few words, and then gave her another idea: "Aren't you and Miss Zhou good friends?" If you go back tonight and talk to her about this matter, and ask her to help explain it to Mr. Lin, there should be no problem. ”
Zhou Haimei nodded, this is the only way now. As for whether Lin Youlun is really as reasonable as Lu Liangwei said. She wasn't really sure in her heart.
I finished the food on my plate with a heartfelt heart. Zhou Haimei and Lu Liangwei could only sit so bored all the time, and before Lin Youlun and Zhou Yimin left, they couldn't check out and leave, otherwise it would be very rude.
finally got Lin Youlun and Zhou Comin to leave together, Lu Liangwei immediately raised his hand and motioned to the waiter to pay the bill, but was told that their accounts had been settled by Lin Youlun.
Eating Western food and letting Lin Youlun help pay for it, it was originally a very face-saving thing to say that this matter was gone. But at this moment, Lu Liangwei and Zhou Haimei's mood is very complicated. Lu Liangwei just made a movie under Lin Youlun, and Zhou Haimei and Zhou Yimin are just friends who have a good personal relationship, and the two sides actually don't have too deep friendship, the more Lin Youlun behaves so "politely", the more it shows that he attaches great importance to the TV series "The Great Era", which also means that Zhou Haimei will refuse to act, and the resistance he will encounter will be greater than previously imagined.

In order to prevent the paparazzi from taking pictures secretly, the driver drove the car directly to the door of the restaurant, and after getting into the car, Zhou Comin suddenly covered his mouth with his hand. "Ahh
Lin Youlun asked the driver not to drive too much, turned his head to look at Zhou Yimin and asked, "What's wrong." Forgot something in the restaurant? ”
"No ......" Zhou Comemin shook his head, lowered his eyelashes, and refused to speak. When the car drove away from the restaurant, she explained to Lin Youlun the reason for the sound just now.
"Ruan Mei's role, can you find someone else to play it?"
Lin Youlun was very surprised, and he didn't understand why Zhou Comin would suddenly say such a thing.
"Ah Mei is Sister Zhen's person, and the producer of "The Great Era" is Liang Jiashu, the relationship between Sister Zhen and Liang Jiashu has not been very good, let Ah Mei play the role of Liang Jiashu, she will definitely be very embarrassed......
Zhou Comin explained for a long time, and Lin Youlun figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.
In recent years, TVB has crushed its competitor ATV in TV drama production, and it is very beautiful on the surface, but in fact, it is divided into many factions internally. In the years when martial arts dramas were popular, Wang Tianlin and Xiao Hui, the two gold medal producers, have never stopped fighting, Shao Yifu is also aware of this situation, but he uses it as a means of his subordinates, no matter how hard Wang Tianlin and Xiao Tao fight, he can sit firmly in Diaoyutai.
Shao Yifu retreated into the background, pushed Fang Yihua to come out and take over the wireless in an all-round way, and caught up with the martial arts drama and began to decline, and the power in the hands of Wang Tianlin and Xiao Wei was slowly replaced by a few cronies vigorously promoted by Fang Yihua. Wang Tianlin is already a person who is ready to retire, of course he doesn't care about this, but Xiao Wei was very dissatisfied, so he took advantage of the turmoil caused by the reform of Sister Hong Kong last time and went directly to ATV.
After Xiao Wei left, the position of film and television drama director was vacated, and Fang Yihua promoted two people in one go, one was Zeng Lizhen and the other was Liang Jiashu.
With the five tigers will fade out, the wireless known as the "star processing factory" once appeared in the embarrassing situation of "small famine", on the one hand, wireless actively launched newcomers, on the other hand, it has also begun to change the past practice of using star effect as a ratings guarantee, it should take the route of boutique dramas, and strive to minimize the meaning of the existence of idols.
The most direct benefit of this is to reduce the production cost of TV dramas, but there is a difficult reason behind it: the young students who are highly praised by wireless often become famous after acting in TV dramas, they immediately fight with the film industry, and only regard TV series as a second choice.
The departure of the five tigers is the best example, even if Wireless once threatened Liu Dehua with such means as snow hiding, the last thing is still not able to stop Liu Dehua's determination to run to the film industry. Since there is no way to organize the exodus of talent, Wireless has turned to the status of producers and screenwriters, who have been in the shadows, and so far, this effort has borne fruit.
The report on TVB dramas in the newspaper no longer deliberately emphasizes that a certain Xiaosheng and a certain Hua Dan are in charge, but whether it is controlled by Wei Jiahui, Qi Qiyi, Deng Tessi and other star producers, the audience has also begun to change from chasing stars to chasing dramas.
In this context, the status of the producer has been greatly improved, from the determination of the story outline to the selection of actors, to the specific execution of filming, all affairs are decided by the producer.
Wireless shoots at least thirty or forty TV series every year, and there are often conflicts between producers because of the competition for actors, and there is also the saying of "standing in line" between various producers.
At present, the largest producer faction of wireless is Zeng Lizhen and Liang Jiashu, and Fang Yihua, out of the need to balance the interests of all parties, also acquiesced to the practice of the two forming a gang, although Wei Jiahui did not make it clear which side to go towards, but the drama "The Great Era" was filmed under the name of Liang Jiashu, and Zhou Haimei was Zeng Lizhen's person, so it was really embarrassing for her to let Zhou Haimei act in this play.
