On the first day of the new year, Xiao Yi took Lu Zhou and drove to a nearby famous resort to soak in hot springs and eat Japanese food, Lu Zhou wore a bathrobe, picked up his hair, signaled that he didn't need to make up, and asked the company to solve it later, Xiao Yi took the DV, Lu Zhou sat cross-legged on the ground in front of the door, behind him was the verdant pine forest and antique decoration. There was a little snow on Chinese New Year's Eve, a layer of light white on the tree, Lu Zhou held the New Year's red envelope in his hand, with a smile, and said:

"In the new year, I wish all fans academic progress and smooth work......

"Thank you for a year of companionship......"

Xiao Yi took the DV and secretly said that Lu Zhou's appearance was simply handsome and not negotiable, both sunny and handsome, and he was a big brother next door who was like a spring breeze, and it was worth it to be scolded every day by his side.

"Click." Xiao Yi said: "Verygood. ”

Lu Zhou sneezed and roared, "Close the door quickly!" Who came up with this background! Do you want to die cold! ”

Xiao Yi: "......"

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Qiang sent Xiao Yi and Lu Zhou to Wuhan and took the return plane, which happened to usher in the peak period of another round of Spring Festival transportation.

Lu Zhou was obviously still a little unsatisfied, and said to Xiao Qiang: "Go back and help me thank you for your parents' hospitality." ”

"No problem!" Xiao Qiang smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, come on filming!" ”

When he was in the airport lounge, Lu Zhou took his phone number and muttered for a long time, Xiao Yi went to fetch water for him, and when he came back, he saw Lu Zhou on the phone.

The attitude of talking to friends is different from usual, this time, Xiao Yi was almost Lu Zhou talking to some lover on the phone, and looked at him a little surprised.

"No, it's the New Year at my brother's house." Lu Zhou said: "I went to Jingshan and soaked in the hot springs, how are you there?" ”

"Hmm...... I got it. Lu Zhou said, "I passed through Wuhan." ”

"Hit." Lu Zhou said again: "Uncle answered the phone. ”

Xiao Yi sat down next to Lu Zhou, Lu Zhou glanced at him, took the water in Xiao Yi's hand, with a famous watch on his wrist, an expensive suit, and the shirt formed a beautiful white edge between the cuffs and the back of his hand, Xiao Yi smiled. Lu Zhou had a warning in his eyes, and then looked away and did not look at him.

Xiao Yi thought to himself, is Lu Zhou homesick too, he must be homesick too, he is calling his mother? People from all over the world, their relatives are not around, and they must be very lonely.

The receptionist in the VIP lounge came over and whispered to Xiao Yi with a smile.

"You don't care about that." Lu Zhou said: "Take care of yourself, don't quarrel with your husband, I'm on the plane, Happy New Year." Yes, yes, I know it. Saying that, Lu Zhou hung up the phone and posted a Weibo, blue sky and white clouds, ready to take off and welcome the new year's work, and by the way, Xiao Yi was also on Weibo.

Xiao Yi's fans were crazy bullish that day, and it rose to more than 10,000 in an instant, and the next day Du Mei angrily scolded Lu Zhou for being insane, and carefully killed Xiao Yi, so Lu Zhou couldn't withstand the company's pressure and deleted Weibo.

"The issuance of Lixing has always been very strong." Du Mei said: "I don't know when the broadcast permit will come down." ”

Lu Zhou got the red envelope issued by the company and threw it to Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi got two red envelopes, he was so happy, Lu Zhou said: "Whatever, what does the movie say?" ”

"Now there are three companies, all of which want to work with you." Du Mei said: "You pick one, I asked Xiao Yi to give you the annual plan yesterday, have you seen it?" ”

"Looked." Lu Zhou said boringly, in fact, he didn't watch it at all.

"Which one do you choose?" Du Mei said: "This year I am going to integrate all the companies and sign more people, and now I have sufficient funds and almost all the contacts have been laid down, and there are only a few opponents who are still a little difficult." If conditions permit, let's prepare the movie before the end of the year. ”

Lin Yao said: "Yesterday, the screenwriter recommended by Director Li came to the company, and it just so happened that you were not there, and we listened to the idea and thought it was good." ”

"You have to be an agent, a producer, and a production director." Lu Zhou said: "I still have to deal with so many chores, can I be busy?" You look at the people's Lixing, they are all in charge of the sub-departments. ”

"Take your time." Du Mei said: "In the beginning, you have to be a little busy, just wait for the right track." Anyway, are you optimistic about that one yourself? ”

Lu Zhou said: "Whatever, what are you talking about?" I'll take a look at it again? ”

Du May: "......"

Xiao Yi: "......"

Xiao Yi took out the annual report sent by Du Mei yesterday, and Du Mei said: "The people of Juhua said that the ancient costumes were in ancient times, and I pushed the ancient costumes." ”

"What about fashion dramas?" Lu Zhou said: "Anti-Japanese drama? Don't tear the devil's ones. ”

"Screenwriters are all first-line." Du Mei said: "There are good and bad producers, you can see for yourself." ”

Lu Zhou said: "Just this fashion drama, so as not to wait for the radio and television restrictions to be verbose and long-winded for three years." ”

Xiao Yi thought to himself if he was going to join the group again, Du Mei said: "Okay, then you wait, strive to win a slam this year, Lin Yao and I are also quite optimistic about this script, but I can't pay attention to whether you can act in idol dramas." ”

"I don't care." Lu Zhou said: "The key script must be well written, as long as it is bloody, and there will be less mother-in-law and mother-in-law." ”

Du Mei called the film and television company in front of Lu Zhou, and then Lin Yao said: "Xiao Yi, you come with me, I have something to ask you." ”

Xiao Yi: "......"

Xiao Yi immediately got up and said, Oh, Mr. Lin, how can you say that, what do you ask, don't ask for advice, just tell people to do it...... Then Lu Zhou's face sank and he coughed, Xiao Yi immediately looked serious, thinking that Lu Zhou only allowed himself to be subservient to him, and it seemed that he couldn't see himself being subservient to other people at all.

Lin Yao took Xiao Yi to the next room, where there were a few teenagers sitting there, reading the script, and when they saw Lin Yao coming in, they all got up, Lin Yao chatted casually, Xiao Yi was inexplicable, but he felt a little bit - are these four teenagers all newcomers?

The newcomers didn't look at Xiao Yi squarely, Xiao Yi felt that these people were a little arrogant, and they had a good attitude towards Lin Yao.

"Come, this is Teacher Xiao who is studying vocal music, and Lu Zhou's personal assistant." Lin Yao introduced Xiao Yi to them again, and the newcomer immediately shook hands with Xiao Yi and said with a smile: "Teacher Xiao." ”

"You're welcome." Xiao Yi said.

Lin Yao glanced at Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi understood, he should want him to see the pronunciation and singing skills of these newcomers, of course, since he was signed back by Du Mei, he must have some skills, and they should all be college students. Lin Yao said: "Sing whatever you want, Xiao Yi, you give me some pointers." ”

Xiao Yi smiled: "I'm not learning vocal music, just give me advice, let's talk to each other." ”

So one of the newcomers sang a few words, Xiao Yi said: "Come and I'll accompany you, what will you sing?" ”

Xiao Yi got up and walked to the piano, tried the audition, and the newcomer ordered a song and sang, Xiao Yi's own singing skills all rely on talent, and he will not hang his voice for several years after graduation, but the foundation is still a little bit, and their ability to distinguish them can still be distinguished.

Xiao Yi listened attentively, Lu Zhou came over after talking, stood outside the room, watched Xiao Yi play the piano, the newcomer sang a paragraph, Xiao Yi said, "Okay, very good." ”

"Come, next." Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Do you usually hang your throat?" ”

"Nope." The newcomer said embarrassedly.

Xiao Yi played another high tide part, and the newcomer sang it, then the third, and then the fourth.

After listening, Xiao Yi sighed: "The basic skills are better than mine." ”

Lin Yao smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad." ”

Xiao Yi said goodbye, and Lin Yao asked, "How is it?" ”

"Uh...... Exercise is also required. Xiao Yi said: "But after all, it's filming, not singing...... Don't be too demanding. ”

Lin Yao asked again: "What does Lu Zhou think?" ”

"It's just blind my dog eyes and deaf my dog ears." Lu Zhou said politely.

Lin Yao: "......"

Xiao Yi: "......"

Lu Zhou added: "The one who plays the piano is good, you can develop it." ”

Xiao Yi laughed, Lin Yao looked helpless, and went back to the office.

Xiao Yi took a look at another person again, and was shocked, it was actually Wu Henggu!

Wu Henggu smiled and said, "Brother Zhou is good! Xiao Yi, see you again! ”

Lu Zhou made a little noise in his nose, and walked over, Wu Henggu stretched out his hand and froze in mid-air, Xiao Yi decisively stepped forward to catch his hand, and said with a smile: "It's hard work." ”

Wu Henggu just made a male partner for Lu Zhou, and his popularity skyrocketed by selling corrupt photos, Xiao Yi knew that Lu Zhou probably didn't feel very comfortable, but in order not to offend people, he chatted with him for a few words, and whispered: "Brother Zhou didn't sleep well yesterday." ”

Wu Henggu nodded in understanding.

Wu Henggu signed into Lu Zhou's economic company, Du Mei is still trying to find a way to poach people everywhere, it seems that this year's ambition is not small, even Lu Zhou took Wu Henggu and tied it up to that fashion show.

In this fashion drama, Lu Zhou plays a hard-working old virgin who is thirty-five years old, and Wu Henggu plays a playboy.

And the first sister of Juhua Company, Tina, an American mixed-race child, plays the girlfriend (female number one) abandoned by Wu Henggu.

Tina gets drunk in a bar and falls into the river and is rescued by the honest man Lu Zhou.

Wu Henggu plays the illegitimate son of the chairman of Lu Zhou's media company.

and the female No. 2 Qiqi plays Lu Zhou's half-sister, Qiqi had a hot fight with Wu Henggu at an auto show, trying her best to pry the corner from Wu Henggu's current girlfriend.

Xiao Yi thought that the relationship between the characters was really chaotic enough, and before Lu Zhou read the script, Xiao Yi held the script and read it quietly, thinking that in addition to more product placements, it was still quite attractive.

However, after the first five episodes, it was not very good-looking, Xiao Yi still watched the whole story attentively in line with his serious identity of "the person who will die if he doesn't see the ending", until Lu Zhou urged him several times and asked him to speed up and cook dinner for himself, Xiao Yi reluctantly went to the sink.

Lu Zhou collapsed after reading three pages.

"Sick, yes!" Lu Zhou roared angrily: "There are more product placements than the original!" What the hell! Is there such a lack of money?! ”

Xiao Yi: "......"

"The story is still pretty good...... Xiao Yi said.

Lu Zhou picked up the script and read it for a while, and finally couldn't bear to drop the script for the second time, saying: "The current screenwriter is the pinnacle of writing thunder dramas!" Let me wear women's clothes into the banquet hall to take pictures, this is a deliberate attempt to fix me! ”

Xiao Yi laughed, almost knelt down directly by Lu Zhou in the kitchen, just now when he saw this paragraph, he also thought of Lu Zhou's reaction, one of which was an old virgin protagonist, taking advantage of his position, into the banquet hall, disguised as a woman, and went in to find Tina.

Xiao Yi was immersed in cooking, wearing an apron, pale yellow trousers, pulling the sleeves of his shirt, and his hair looked a little long under the kitchen light.

Lu Zhou looked at the script, then looked at Xiao Yi, and said, "In a few days, you go and buy a few more sets of clothes, and people will clean up their spirits." ”

"Hey." Xiao Yi said: "It doesn't matter if you join the group, no one notices me anyway." ”

"What do you think!" Lu Zhou said: "When the time comes, let's see if there is a small supporting role for you to play." ”

Xiao Yi almost cut his hand and said, "Cocoa...... May I. ”

"This script has to be changed." Lu Zhou said impatiently: "Let's talk about it after entering the group." ”

Xiao Yi was surprised: "How to change?" Change it yourself? ”

Lu Zhou said: "There are also screenwriters who have brought their own screenwriters into the group!" Who was the last time, filming a costume drama and bringing his own director into the group, this is the cow! ”

Xiao Yi: "......"

"Look who's bigger." Lu Zhou said: "The big coffee position has the final say, otherwise how will you let me play this kind of women's costume drama?" Even if I want to act, are the supporting characters all fools? Suddenly, a woman with a big waist and a round waist came to her, and her eyes were blind! ”

Xiao Yi said: "It may be a tailor-made play for other men." ”

Lu Zhou flipped through it again with a bored face, and said: "Any implant is required, it's just LOW." ”

As soon as Lu Zhou touched the script, he would instantly turn into a superman, and Xiao Yi was about to be laughed crazy by him. The next day, I went to the company again, Du Mei personally called Juhua and gave advice, and promised to revise and revise the script again, but the advertising placement brands had already been contacted and could not be moved anymore, and promised to give Lu Zhou an increase to 550,000 episodes, Xiao Yi was speechless.

often comes and goes to the company, Xiao Yi can probably hear a little bit of the cost of filming from their conversations, people like Lu Zhou, one episode after another is sky-high, sometimes packaged, sometimes calculated by the number of episodes, anyway, a drama will not be less than 10 million.

Of course, the brokerage company still has to take a cut, Xiao Yi doesn't know what the specific commission figure is, and he doesn't dare to ask more, but a script of 30 episodes is often filmed after the most unruly, and there are more than 30 episodes after the cut, and the remuneration is paid according to the number of episodes to make more profits, and it is also convenient to negotiate with the actors.

In order to avoid taxes, it is not possible to write so high on the contract.

Usually costume dramas are much more expensive than modern dramas, with a cost of between 1.5 million and 2.5 million, and modern dramas around 1 million to 1.8 million. With such a small amount of money, Lu Zhou's 550,000 yuan must be paid, and it will be distributed to one woman, two men, two men, and three men, and to the screenwriter, director, producer, and production director...... It is also assigned to the director's own team, including art, lighting, photography, post-production, etc...... Rent a venue, rent props, and ask extras to distribute boxed lunches...... At the worst, it will be more or less overspending.

However, Lu Zhou took 550,000 yuan, and the 550,000 film and television company was willing, after all, with Lu Zhou here, there will be ratings, and there will be ratings, this drama will sell well, and various TV stations are rushing to ask for it, and when the mother audience saw Lu Zhou's face when they switched to the station, they stopped and watched it with interest.

Although Li Changzheng often wins awards, he is not as good as Lu Zhou in terms of ratings, sometimes Li Changzheng can't even bear the box office, the bright red and dark tones of the ancient costumes, the thick atmosphere, and a happy New Year's film during the Spring Festival, which is completely exploded in minutes.

So Lu Zhou and Li Changzheng felt a bit like the king didn't see the king, and after Xiao Yi heard a round of gossip, he felt that his previous desire to hope that Lu Zhou and Li Changzheng would play against each other was very silly and naïve.
