The original "SPEC2" has changed a lot compared with the drama in Zhou Xiao's previous life after passing through the hands of Zhou Xiao and others, the most obvious thing is that the background of this drama is no longer a continuation of the plot of "SPEC" but a new background, so correspondingly, there is no longer a need for Zhou Xiao to negotiate copyright issues with the copyright owner of "SPEC".

After revising the background story, the first problem was that the original name of "SPEC2" was no longer available, so it was very important to think of a new name.

What do you want a new name? Considering the habits of the Japanese, it is natural not to use the names of XX Xia, XX people and the like, the Japanese are relatively subtle, and it is better to use the kind of name that is somewhat literary and artistic, and you can't understand what it means at a glance.

After thinking about it for a long time and discussing it with others, Zhou Xiao finally settled on a name: "The Fifth Lesson of Public Security", the name Zhou Xiao also has a purpose, because the goal is to make a whole very long series, so compared to the name with connotation, he wants to see it more directly, so that people can understand the name of the intention very lightly, in Zhou Xiao's setting, there will be a lot of power in the entire series of works in the future, a simple and intuitive name, It's easy to use this name to categorize the so-called factions of the missions in the set, making it easier to remember related things.

The brand-new "Fifth Lesson of Public Security", the brand-new plot, and the improvement of Zhou Xiao and others The whole series has aroused huge expectations within AZX, although the actors have not been invited yet, but just looking at the behind-the-scenes staff can already flash people's eyes, which can be called an all-star system, and the temptation for everyone cannot be small.

After completing the basic settings, the rest of the settings will be handed over to the rest of the group, and the budget is already in place, Zhou Xiao began to work on the selection of people for his drama and the appearance of the TV station.

In fact, Zhou Xiao didn't particularly care about the selection of people at all, as long as Zhou Xiao said that he wanted to shoot something. Which actor do you want to invite, it is estimated that the company in Japan would rather breach the contract and stuff its own actors into the crew, plus this time the all-star behind-the-scenes lineup has been arranged before the shooting, so there is no need to say anything at that time, as long as the list of the names of the staff behind the script is filmed in front of the other party, I am afraid it can be explained.

However, because of the particularity of this drama in the future, Zhou Xiao still went out in person and talked to Toda's agency about the new TV series and inviting Toda to star.

For Zhou Xiao's visit, Toda's company, FLaMme, can be described as quite flattered. This is not a very big and powerful firm, strictly speaking, this office is actually opened by Ryoko Hirosue's agent, some private offices, but the level of actors in this office is quite powerful, including Ryoko Hirosue, Erika Toda, Michiko Yoshise and other actors belong here.

Originally, this firm and Zhou Xiao's AZX were the same opponents in a certain way. Because AZX also has a considerable part of its business in female artists, especially actresses, there is no need for the two companies not to communicate.

But Zhou Xiao is an exception, Zhou Xiao never considers any company issues when making movies, as long as it is something I shoot. I'll invite whoever I want to invite, it's my business whether you come or not, anyway, I'm invited.

In such a situation, this year Zhou Xiao invited FLaMme's Ryoko Hirosue to shoot "The Undertaker". Now that he has come to the company, he has revealed the idea of finding someone to shoot a new drama to play the heroine, how can FLaMme not try his best to receive it.

The president of FLaMme personally poured tea for Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao sat for less than half an hour, and Ryoko Hirosue also hurried to accompany him, it seems that after knowing that Zhou Xiao was coming, the company contacted Ryoko Hirosue who was very familiar with Zhou Xiao for the first time.

"What I want to shoot this time is likely to be a series, so the cooperation with your company may not be just one or two films, of course, I will only sign one when I sign the contract, but I hope to have a better cooperation with your company and reach as many cooperation plans as possible before signing the contract." Zhou Xiao said.

"That, Mr. Zhou Xiao, what is your work? If there is a second and third part, will it still be starring our artists? The president asked.

"It's not like this, my initial plan is to make a series of movies and TV series, unify the world view, and make a series of TV series or movies in stages, the starring role of each drama, if this drama is starred, then the following company's work in the same series is at most a cameo, and it will not become the main role again until the general episode, of course, after the phased summary, we may also make a sequel to the popular drama." Zhou Xiao said.

"If that's the case, aren't you worried that the episode will be too long and protracted?" The president on the other side asked.

"I think this question is okay, because we require that every drama filmed in the future must first be a wonderful story before it is part of this fantasy world, and only the general episode will relatively weaken the story factor and concentrate on the relationship and communication between the protagonists of several dramas." Zhou Xiao said.

"With all due respect, if that's the case, can I ask you what the next part of the series you conceived looks like?"

"For the next work, I hope to have Takuya Kimura play the leading role." Zhou Xiao said.

"Kimura! Mr. Zhou Xiao is really generous! The president of FLaMme exclaimed.

"It's one of my dreams, it's up to you to say yes." Zhou Xiao said.

"Of course it's no problem, Toda doesn't have a TV contract at the beginning of next year, so please let us participate in the show!"

After deciding on Toda and most of the other actors in this show, Zhou Xiao did not stop, he went to Genesys again to discuss with Genesys about the invitation and use of Takuya Kimura and other actors other than Kimura.

Kimura's work this year has now been decided is May 2008's "CHANGE", which describes Kimura's work as prime minister is not a work that can be replaced casually in any sense, and Zhou Xiao is not interested in letting Kimura star this year, he said directly to Kitagawa: "I know Kimura-san's rule is to only appear in one TV series a year, in this case, next year, it should be no problem for him to star in my new series, but I hope that it will be this year or the year after." If I have other works in this series, and he can come and play a cameo role, the role may not appear for too long, as long as it is a small role of one or two minutes. ”

"It's his business how Kimura himself wants to act, which we can't actually control, but the general episode of the act you said, will you choose Kimura as the protagonist?" Old man Kitagawa asked.

Kimura is too big-named, even if the person filming is Zhou Xiao, in Kitagawa's opinion, Kimura also has to compete for a leading role, unless Zhou Xiao goes to Hollywood to shoot something super-large production of hundreds of millions of dollars. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Kimura to play a supporting role under anyone.

"I can guarantee that Kimura-san will definitely be one of the main characters, but it is impossible to say that it is absolutely the protagonist." Zhou Xiao said.

"Why? Is there anyone else who can surpass Kimura? Kitagawa asked.

"If it's just in Japan, what do you think of Fukuyama-san and Abe Kan-san? And if you want to ask my ambitions, if Jackie Chan wants to play a role, Kimura only plays a supporting role, what do you think? Zhou Xiao said proudly.

"Shhh Kitagawa gasped, Zhou Xiao's ambition is indeed a bit exaggerated, Masaharu Fukuyama and Abe Kuan are okay, the popularity and national degree of the two are similar to Kimura, and Kimura will not be in a weak position if they are put together. But if it's Jackie Chan...... Not to mention Kimura himself, even if Kimura, Fukuyama, and Abe Kuan are put together. It may not be comparable to Jackie Chan!

It's very simple, no matter how famous and appealing these Japanese actors are, they are only in Japan, and with Jackie Chan's status in the world, he really wants to compete with him for the leading role. Maybe with the current whole of Japan, you can find Zhou Xiao or Takeshi Kitano to star.

"You...... Are you really going to pull them into your chariot too? Kitagawa asked in amazement.

"I don't know exactly what will happen yet, but I'll try to do it." Speaking of this, Zhou Xiao leaned forward. The old man near Kitagawa said: "The Japanese entertainment industry is a typical situation where the small entertainment industry has achieved the extreme, such an entertainment industry can only entertain itself and lack pioneering spirit, but fortunately I came, in the Japanese entertainment industry in the past few years, I still broke through some fame, if I can make this circle bigger and do a good job, and spread the influence of this circle to East Asia and even Europe and the United States, I believe that the beneficiaries will definitely not only be me and my company."

So...... Are you interested in driving me crazy like this? For you guys anyway...... It's just a matter of letting Kimura take over the list of the next normal TV series......"

Zhou Xiao's words are very demagogic, but it is not in vain that the old man is happy that he has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and in the face of Zhou Xiao's demagogy, he has not lost his mind.

After thinking seriously for a while, the old man said: "Your sincerity has touched me, Denis, I can accept your proposal, but Kimura still wants you to do it yourself." ”

"Great, thank you so much!" Zhou Xiao thanked him, he has been befriending Kimura intentionally or unintentionally since his debut, so if he goes to Kimura with this plan, the other party must definitely agree.

Zhou Xiao, who came out of Kitagawa's side, got into the company's car, and in the car, he recalled what he had said to Kitagawa before, but he was thinking about something very different in his heart.

He really wants to make his series of movies and television bigger and better, but if he really wants to rely on this, he wants to spread the influence of the Japanese entertainment industry to East Asia and even Europe and the United States...... It's the end of 2007, Japan's neighbors, his hometown has begun to gradually go crazy, in the economic and entertainment, cultural expansion, most of the Japanese, including Kitagawa, are still immersed in the illusion of being the first in Asia, completely unaware that Japan, which has been lost since 89, has gradually been caught up or even surpassed by his neighbors.

Zhou Xiao knows too well that the future of East Asia is destined to be China's East Asia rather than Japan's East Asia, Zhou Xiao's ambition to spread his influence and create the so-called supernatural system in Japan is actually just a part of his planning, in the future, his so-called system, and even his AZX, is destined to communicate with the mainland and the entire East Asian circle, and when the time comes, it will be Japan's him and AZX to merge China's entertainment industry, or China's entertainment industry will include him and AZX, and even the entire Japanese entertainment industry. Only God knows.

Standing in 2007, he can see that in 2014, he knows very well that in the next few years, China will surpass Japan to become the center of East Asia, and this growth is almost irreversible, but if China wants to truly become the center of East Asian culture and entertainment, it will take many, many years to work, and only when this goal is really achieved. Zhou Xiao and his AZX will be able to return to China.

And whether that will be forty or fifty years from now is unknown.

In addition to the casting work, another job that Zhou Xiao needs to run by himself is the question of which TV station the show will be released on.

Yukihiko Tiyukiko of the film production group is the original director of the previous part of "SPEC2", and after joining the production group, his only request is that if this drama is to be filmed, please first find TBS and ask TBS about the possibility of buying this drama.

From this point of view. Ti Xingyan is still very interesting, after all, Zhou Xiao's work was born from his last broadcast and TBS work at the beginning of its creation, and later the modification of the background made this drama out of the background of the original work, Ti Xingyan felt that he should try his best to fight for the screening right of this film named "The Fifth Lesson of Public Security".

As for the reason why Zhou Xiao went to talk in person, it was not just this. Because what Zhou Xiao wants to talk about is the contract for two Japanese dramas in early 2008 and early 2009, and in addition to these two Japanese drama contracts, Zhou Xiao wants more Japanese dramas. In terms of the airtime of the special edition, he had to come in person and talk about as much time as possible.

The leader in charge of film and television drama arrangements on the TBS side received Zhou Xiao together with the president of TBS, and Zhou Xiao did not talk nonsense. Soon explained his thoughts to the two.

"That's the case......" After listening to Zhou Xiao's words, the two of them struggled very much.

"Is there any difficulty?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"yes, it's almost decided to broadcast episodes for the whole of next year...... said the president of TBS.

"Can't you adjust the time? We at AZX still prefer to play this series on TBS. Zhou Xiao said.

"Mr. Zhou Xiao, can't you start your plan in 09?"

"In 2009...... No, we're running out of time. Zhou Xiao said.

"That'...... We'll go back and think about it and we'll try to get back to you as soon as possible! TBS finally said.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your news!" Zhou Xiao had no choice but to stand up and say.

Although Zhou Xiao has basically decided in his heart, TBS may find it difficult to accept his plan.

Why is it difficult to accept TBS? Zhou Xiao felt that the broadcast time of the episodes at the beginning of next year was not the most essential reason, and TBS must still be worried that Zhou Xiao's so-called "plan" would be implemented and the probability of success was not high, so it would refuse Zhou Xiao in this way.

After leaving TBS, Zhou Xiao thought about it in the car for about ten minutes and then said directly: "Let's go to Japanese TV." ”

In the original plan, TBS was the first choice, and the choice that TBS would try in the future was Fuji TV and Nippon TV, but after talking to TBS, he thought about it, but he directly gave up the plan to talk to Fuji TV.

Why is this happening? It's very simple, TBS and Fuji TV should be regarded as the top two private TV stations in Japan during this time period, and they are also quite old TV stations, these two TV stations are relatively the most conservative, TBS does not accept Zhou Xiao's plan, and Fuji TV, which is relatively more conservative, may not accept this plan.

Therefore, Zhou Xiao simply chose Japanese TV directly.

Since his debut, Japanese TV has taken great care of Zhou Xiao, his title group, and many other things are made here, and Zhou Xiao's help to Japanese TV is also very great, his title group has a high rating, and many TV series are also made in this TV station, and he has contributed a lot of super angry words and variety shows to this TV station, such as the whole person award made by zuò when he first debuted, and now it has become a signature project of Japanese TV, There is also the variety show "itteQ" that has been made by Zhou Xiao in the past two years, this show has smashed money very fiercely, and the relative ratings are also very high, not only the ratings are high, but the potential is also very, very sufficient, the TV station is quite optimistic about this program, many people feel that this show has the opportunity to compete for the championship position of the Japanese variety show ratings throughout the year after a few years of regular operation, such a valuable program comes from Zhou Xiao's hands, It is impossible for the Japanese TV not to be quite attentive to any of Zhou Xiao's plans.

Compared with several other private stations,Ri TV is more like a house for Zhou Xiao,If the five private enterprises are most likely to accept this plan,It is undoubtedly Ri TV,And if even Ri TV is unwilling to accept Zhou Xiao's plan,I'm afraid Zhou Xiao can only revise the plan again,In that case,It's a question of whether it can catch up with the schedule at the beginning of next year。 (To be continued......)

PS: A novel is a novel, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is very difficult for Zhou Xiao's ambition to succeed, but since it is a novel, let everyone go crazy.
