Chapter 169: How I Didn't Know...
"That's because I already know the role of Li Xiaoyao very well, and I don't need to think about it anymore. I don't know the story myself. It's not that I'm lazy, it's really unnecessary. Ouyang Xu waved his hand, looking completely ready.
"I still think you're just lazy. Well, no matter what, you just have a good idea. For Sword Immortal, our studio is ready to—"
"Listen, Qi An, you don't need to say this to me, I have a lot of confidence in you and our studio, so how to prepare, how to do it, etc., you don't have to tell me at all, even if you need someone to take an idea, isn't there still Mr. Xie? Just go find her. Ouyang Xu raised his hand, and the palm of his hand was facing Qi An.
"......" Qi An looked at Ouyang Xu speechlessly, he had never seen a boss like Ouyang Xu, although Ouyang Xu was actually a second boss.
Speaking of which, when you encounter such a boss who lets go of everything, then as an executor, you will get greater rights, and then you can show your talents to the fullest, so in a sense, people who are really capable hope to meet such a boss. However, there is a premise, that is, the career he wants to engage in is not centered on the boss.
It's like Ouyang Xu's side, Ouyang Xu doesn't do anything, and leaves everything to others to deal with, but in fact, this studio is almost all around Ouyang Xu, so when Ouyang Xu is not motivated, it is undoubtedly a very headache for an agent like Qi An or a partner like Xie Manya.
"Well, since you don't want to listen to it, then forget it, but the second part of "Love Apartment" is already about to be broadcast on TV, and you must at least know about it." Qi An shook his head and said to Ouyang Xu.
"I know, I already knew, I don't need to say this." Ouyang Xu waved his hand.
"I originally thought that you would join the new crew before the second part of "Love Apartment" was broadcast, but I didn't expect that until now, you haven't started filming the next film." Qi An couldn't help but sigh as he spoke.
"Haven't you been writing scripts before? After the script is completed and the crew is established, I will naturally go to filming. Why are you in a hurry? Ouyang Xu said a little weakly.
"Hehehe." Qi An laughed dryly.
As for the second part of "Love Apartment", the post-production work has already been done before, and it has even been sold to the TV station. Whether it is the first round of broadcast rights, or the second round of broadcast rights, etc., all have been sold. After all, the second part of "Love Apartment" now doesn't want to be like the first part before.
Whether it is popularity, evaluation, etc., there is the first part as the foundation, and the original team of the second part is not moving, plus Ouyang Xu's popularity is getting higher and higher, and the recognition of the second part of "Love Apartment" by various TV stations is naturally not comparable to the first part.
It's still a fruit station, and after being strong enough to broadcast the first round of the first part, this time it grabbed the first round of the second part and bought the second part at a price of 8 million episodes. One episode is eight million, a total of twenty episodes, and the broadcast rights of the first round alone have been sold for 1.6 billion. This kind of price is enough to make many people red-eyed. Although it can't be said to be the top kind of sky-high price, but for a production cost, the cost is not high, and even the cost of the whole drama is not comparable to Ouyang Xu's salary alone. With such a low cost, but selling at such a high price, how can it be possible not to be blushing.
After all the copyrights of the second part of "Love Apartment" were sold, they finally got a return of almost 500 million, although the cost was higher than that of the first part, mainly because Ouyang Xu's salary was so much more, but he also made more, and the final profit was even higher than that of the first part.
So after the second part of "Love Apartment" was sold, Xie Manya and even the entire studio staff were in a very good mood. Even if it's just this TV series a year, it's enough to make the studio make a lot of money. Not to mention that the studio is not just about this one TV series.
And the reason why the studio was able to make so much money was, in a big sense, brought by Ouyang Xu. So although he felt very speechless and helpless about Ouyang Xu's character, including Xie Manya, he had to indulge and condone Ouyang Xu to a certain extent.
"Ouyang, the director of "The Legend of Sword Immortals", do you have any recommendations?" Although he didn't think he could get any good answers, Qi An still asked Ouyang Xu, after all, when "Jianghu" was filmed before, there was a conflict between Ouyang Xu and the director, and in the end things made a big fuss, although in the end Ouyang Xu was considered to be a benefit, but he had to guard against it.
"Director? Wouldn't it be nice to let Mo Yang come? Anyway, he is also the only director in our studio. Ouyang Xu said nonchalantly.
"......" Qi An couldn't help but shake his head, he had already thought of Ouyang Xu's answer, and now sure enough, Ouyang Xu said Mo Yang again. Of course, Ouyang Xu's behavior is not wrong, at least he took care of the people in his studio, but Qi An shook his head: "Mo Yang didn't say that he was not proficient in costume dramas, at least, he didn't have time now." ”
"Don't have time? What is he doing? Ouyang Xu frowned slightly.
"Ouyang, as the owner of the studio, don't you care about the work of the studio at all? Mo Yang is now directing the filming of another small-budget idol drama in the studio, and this matter has been reported in the studio, so you don't know at all? Qi An looked at Ouyang Xu helplessly.
"Uh, really? Hehehe, I don't care much about general things. Ouyang Xu smiled dryly, a little weak-hearted, he vaguely seemed to remember that the studio had said it, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.
Qi An shook his head: "It was a script received by the studio last year, and I was going to shoot that script, but it wasn't you who told the story of "Love Apartment", so that script was stranded." After Ye Xiaoye's revision and improvement of the script, he took it out this year and planned to shoot the script. ”
"Oh, that's right, but I don't know—ahem, ahem." Ouyang Xu just wanted to ask why he didn't know about this, but suddenly remembered that the reason why he was not impressed was not because others didn't tell him, it was completely because he didn't care about it.
