Rao is like this, the budget of the entire movie "Back to the Future" has soared to 20 million, and it is almost more than 10 million to Lin Xi and the Xu brothers, if it weren't for the fact that this movie could make dollars in the future, Xu Guanwen probably wouldn't have made such a big determination.

The funding problem was solved, but it took a lot of time to set up both the set and the studio, so although the script and actors were all in place, the film would not officially start filming until two months later.

Considering that Xu Guanwen only played a middle-aged doctor this time and had few scenes, Lin Xi thought about it and decided to give him half of the director's work, and the whole movie should be co-directed by the two.

In this way, it not only avoids Lin Xi being questioned because of his lack of qualifications, but also solves the problem that Xu Guanwen has nothing to do after filming his own scene, which is equivalent to a happy result.

Xu Guanwen happily agreed, and Lin Xi could also be justifiably lazy before the film started, and the work of set construction and preliminary preparation was all left to Xu Guanwen to do. He directly started to be the shopkeeper.

After filming the last few episodes of "The Peerless Twins", Lin Xi was completely idle.

As early as a week ago, the finale of "Dragon Babu" produced by wireless filming has been released, and the average rating of this TV series is 42%, which would have been a very good result before. It's a pity that "The Peerless Double Pride" came out halfway, and the ratings directly surpassed "Dragon Babu" on the first day of the premiere, and since then, it has been suppressed to the death, and it has maintained a rating of more than 50%.

Up to now, the ratings of "The Peerless Twins" have completely stabilized at more than 50%, and the end of "Dragon Babu" has made this show one less direct competitor. By the end of the show, the average ratings may exceed 60%.

In the end, Wireless lost a little bit in the martial arts drama ratings battle between Wireless and ATV, but it was not said that it was defeated miserably, in fact, in terms of the level of production. "Dragon Babu" is actually not much worse than "The Peerless Twins", if it weren't for Lin Xi's bold attempt to add some comedy elements in "The Peerless Twins", it is still unknown who will win and who will lose in the end of the two TV series.

Anyway, Lin Xi helped ATV win this game, and the relationship between the two sides naturally went further.

Because they promised to lend Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei to ATV for filming, now because they want to shoot "Back to the Future", the schedule of the two in the second half of the year must give priority to meeting the movie, although it is not a big problem. But Lin Xi still came to ATV in person to discuss this matter with the other party.

Originally, Zhou, Liang and ATV signed a contract with the ministry, only stipulating how many TV series to be filmed within three years, but what scenes to shoot and when to shoot can be chosen by themselves. In addition, Lin Xi came to the door in person with full sincerity, and ATV needed to rely on Lin Xi more, so naturally it would not leave difficulties in such small things.

Lin Xi drank a cup of coffee in Qiu Degen's office, and after he came out, he was pulled into his office by Xu Xiaoming and talked about various situations during the filming of "Huo Yuanjia" for a long time.

"Huo Yuanjia" was filmed first and then broadcast, and now it is almost finished. Xu Xiaoming was also quite satisfied with Cheng Long's watch recommended by Lin Xi, and praised Cheng Long by the way. Then the conversation shifted to the theme song of the TV series.

Originally, Xu Xiaoming wanted to ask Lin Xi to help make the zuò theme song, but Lin Xi refused on the grounds of time constraints. and "instructed" Xu Xiaoming to find the original songwriters of this TV series, Lu Guozhan and Li Xiaotian, and finally the song was made, which was the song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" that Lin Xi was familiar with.

But in terms of the singer of the theme song, the situation is a little different from Lin Xi's memory.

Originally, the singer of this song should be Ye Zhentang, but after the song was made, Xu Xiaoming felt very much and wanted to sing this song by himself.

Lin Xi then remembered that in addition to being a TV producer, Xu Xiaoming also has a singer.

In normal historical time and space, after Xu Xiaoming filmed "Huo Yuanjia", he filmed many martial arts dramas such as "Chen Zhen" and "Walk to Tiger Mountain Again", and the theme songs of these TV series were sung by Xu Xiaoming.

Lin Xi listened to the version sung by Xu Xiaoming, and felt that Ye Zhentang, who he was familiar with, sang almost the same in terms of momentum and emotion, so he didn't have any opinions in this regard.

After chatting about this topic, Xu Xiaoming followed up and asked Qi Lin Xi when the next martial arts drama would come out.

This question is not the first time Lin Xi has been asked today, he was also asked when he was in Qiu Degen's office before, at that time, Lin Xi could still prevaricate for various reasons, but when it came to Xu Xiaoming, who knew him better than Qiu Degen, this trick was not good.

"Didn't I tell you? In the next half a year, I have to invest in movies most of the time, where is the time to shoot martial arts dramas? ”

In the face of Lin Xi's various prevarications, Xu Xiaoming was unmoved.

"It's because you're about to make a movie, so I'm in a hurry to urge you to hurry up and finalize the plan for the next martial arts drama, the TV series can not be filmed first, but you must at least write the novel first, right? After the serialization of "Chu Liuxiang" was published, there were no new works on your side, do you know how many readers are waiting for your new work? ”

Seeing that Xu Xiaoming had even moved out as a reader of the novel, Lin Xi hurriedly raised his hand to let him stop, and then said that he was going to have goosebumps.

"You should write a book that sells cabbage in the market, if you have it?"

Xu Xiaoming unceremoniously exposed Lin Xi and said: "This truth works for others, but it's too fake to say this here for you, right?" I know that you can write the current movie script for Xu Guanwen in less than two days, as long as you want to write it, the new work is not a matter of minutes? ”

Lin Xi smiled bitterly and replied helplessly, "Then I have to have time, right?" ”

Xu Xiaoming waved his hand, "I don't care about this, anyway, you have to do your best, I heard that Wireless is very unwilling to lose this time, and has begun to plan to shoot the next Jin Yong drama, although it has not yet been decided which one to film, but the most likely is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", your new work will not come out for a day, and we always feel that we have no confidence." ”

Lin Xi pointed at Xu Xiaoming, "The fox's tail is exposed, right?" This is what you are really urging me for! ”

Xu Xiaoming did not deny this, and even said eloquently: "What if it is? Don't forget that you gave me the idea before, let the ATV training class enroll students in advance this year, and it is still in the name of your next martial arts drama casting, now that the registration has ended, this batch of students is almost determined, if you don't write a new work here, how can I explain it to you? ”

"What, the registration is over?"

Lin Xi was quite surprised to hear the news, he didn't expect ATV to move so fast.

Xu Xiaoming looked at Lin Xi with an alien look: "A while ago, we advertised on TV every day, don't tell me that you don't know about it?" ”

Lin Xi scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed, he was busy with the script and casting of "Back to the Future" some time ago, and he really didn't notice it.

However, listening to Xu Xiaoming's tone, ATV's movement this time should have been quite big, and it should have attracted a lot of people, so I don't know if there are any of the ones I want to find.

Lin Xi thought to himself, completely ignoring Xu Xiaoming's helpless expression when he looked at him.

"Do you have the information to select those applicants? Take it for me to see. ”

Lin Xi stretched out his hand directly to Xu Xiaoming, and he was sure that the information must be in Xu Xiaoming's hands early on.

Lin Xi was so direct, Xu Xiaoming was passive.

"I can show you the information, but if you say it first, you are not allowed to poach people from it!"

Seeing Xu Xiaoming looking at himself like a thief, Lin Xi rolled his eyes at him angrily and said, "I really want to dig people from you, do I need to work so hard?" And you've done the opposite, it's not that I'm asking you to show me the information, but that you should be begging me to help you see the information, maybe I'll be so excited that I'll help you find out a few future talents? ”

Xu Xiaoming wanted to sneer at Lin Xi, but Lin Xi did have a set of things in watching actors, and he couldn't refute it when he said it.

"I admit you're right, but don't say you're so selfless, don't think I don't know your plans, you want to see a few people in advance, and when ATV has trained them in the future, it's better for you to come and dig people!"

"I have already made this point clear to you when I mentioned it to you before, and I have to remind you now?" Lin Xi snorted angrily, "To tell you the truth, I will definitely dig up people, but not now, I will definitely see the information, but the purpose is really not what you think, I am worried that the people on your side have no vision and miss the people who could have a great future!" ”

Xu Xiaoming was speechless by Lin Xi's words, and after glaring at him viciously, he took out a paper clip from the desk drawer and handed it over.

"All the applicants' information is here, see for yourself."

Lin Xi took it unceremoniously, and after opening it, he found that the information was sorted according to the surname, and first turned to the information at the beginning of the letter "L", and quickly browsed it.

Soon, Lin Xi found the first target. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
