Chapter 563

On Huayu Satellite TV, Li Ming watched the finished film of "Love Apartment" with others.

Soon after Xu Jin and the others left, the film was taken to the senior management of Huayu Satellite TV, and the senior executives collectively took the time to watch the film.

Whether the quality of the film is good or not, one looks at the beginning, the other looks at the plot, and finally looks at the ending.

As long as the beginning is good and the middle plot is good, the final finale has the lowest influence.

After all, the audience follows the episodes of the TV series, and at the last moment when the finale is not broadcast, they can never guess what the screenwriter wants to give an ending.

Any character, whether positive or negative, has countless ways to live, and the same is true in TV dramas.

But this is not to say that the finale is not important, the finale affects the final word-of-mouth.

If the reputation of a broadcast film and television drama has been very good, but the finale is not handled well, the feeling to the audience is that they are fed when they are happy, and they will give bad reviews on various platforms when they are angry.

When they comment, they often ignore how amazing the plot in the early stage of the show is and how well it is handled, and instead focus on the plot with bad senses.

For example, the finale is just one episode, but the audience is willing to put all the bad reviews on this episode, as if this show only has such an episode, and the other excellent points are ignored.

So now the ending of the TV series is basically a happy ending for the family, and the tragedy is not impossible, but if the subject matter of the film and television drama can't support the heaviness of the tragedy, it is not a classic, or a forced tragedy, specially fed to the audience.

With the broadcast of the first episode of "Love Apartment", the faces of the high-level executives, who were originally very serious, gradually softened.

Someone couldn't help but nod and said, "It's not bad." ”

This sentence broke the silence, and the others spoke one after another.

"I didn't have much hope, and the handling at the beginning of the film and television drama was also very mediocre, but the plot behind it was really fresh, love apartment, I didn't expect it to be such a love apartment."

"Hey, it's not easy for young people to work now, it's quite realistic, and when you don't have money, it's not okay to act as a couple to cheat rent, after all, the rent of couples is very cheap."

"Haha, what do you think of reality, I see it funny, is there such a strange apartment in real life? I'm afraid not! ”

Li Ming also spoke, and said with a smile: "Whether there is or not, as long as the shooting is real, although the actors are all new faces, their acting skills are unexpectedly remarkable, and some old actors are comparable to old actors!" ”

Another high-level said: "The master is in the people! I think that when Hengdian was just established, many people in Hengdian in the past were not as profitable as they are now, and many people went with dreams and ambitions.

It's a pity that the times are not good, they can't become popular, and as they get older, there are not many films that can be acted, their group of people does not have the fame of old drama bones, but they have acting skills comparable to old drama bones, especially playing roles with the breath of life, which makes people feel more real. ”

"From this point of view, Director Wei's vision is not bad, the acting skills of the newcomers selected are remarkable, and the acting skills of the old man are also excellent, judging from the first episode, he is completely qualified!"

Is the beginning of Love Apartment good?

Not.

But mediocrity?

Nor will it.

The beginning of the apartment is unconventional, although it can't catch the eye all at once, but at least it can arouse the curiosity in people's hearts, thinking about what will happen to these interesting young people after they move into this apartment.

Because it's a sitcom, since the first episode, there have been several laughs, even if they are old and sophisticated, they can't help but laugh when they hear some laughs occasionally.

Li Ming was sure in his heart and said: "Continue to watch and follow our review process." ”

When TV stations buy a film for broadcasting, they will first look at the finished film and set the price according to the finished film.

The higher the quality, the higher the price set.

However, the film "Love Apartment" is more special, they didn't spend money to buy it, so they arranged a summer prime time.

The price is ...... To be honest, the TV station has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know how much to give.

Give too much, this is Xu Jin's film after all, it's not cost-effective.

Give less, and I'm afraid that Xu Jin will not be happy, and the station's policy is to make friends with Xu Jin, and if you give less, I'm afraid that I won't be able to show the sincerity of the TV station.

Just when Huayu Satellite TV gritted its teeth and decided to give a high price, Director Wei proposed a sharing model.

This model is not new, but often only luxury films in big production classes can talk about sharing with TV dramas, you must know that this share is not just an advertising share.

When a TV series is sold, in addition to advertising, the second round of broadcast rights, additional influence, publicity to TV stations, etc. can all make money.

Considering the special nature of the film "Love Apartment", and the uncertainty of whether it will be popular or whether to give a high buyout price, this "sharing" model is good.

Reasonable.

One is prosperous, and one is lost.

If the ratings are not good, Huayu Satellite TV will only pay the price of a summer prime time, and it will not lose money.

If the ratings are good, it is a win-win situation for everyone.

Li Ming mentioned it to the senior management in the stage, and everyone agreed happily, and decided to increase the proportion of their share to Wei Dao, so that they could earn less, as long as Xu Jin was satisfied.

The first episode at the beginning is qualified, which does not mean that the standard of "Love Apartment" can be maintained, after all, it is a rookie director, so they have a strict attitude towards watching the finished film.

After watching three episodes in a row, the senior management of Huayu Satellite TV also saw a little way.

There are basically no mistakes that a rookie director will make.

Although there is no distinction between protagonists and supporting roles, it is still very clear who should be heavy and who should be light in the role, and it will not make the audience unclear about the priorities.

"This director's film is quite interesting." - After watching three episodes, everyone invariably had this idea in their hearts.

Naturally, they thought of Xu Jin and were amazed.

"I didn't expect Xu Jin to look at people so accurately, where did he find a rookie director?"

"As long as the follow-up level of this drama can remain the same as the first three episodes, even if this drama can't be popular, the ratings will not be bad!"

"Jiang is still old and spicy, Xu Jin dares to invest, he must be very optimistic, he must have seen this script, although he did not participate in the role in it, but his influence on this drama is everywhere."

Someone didn't know what to think, and suddenly said: "After this drama is played, Xu Jin's vision will be clear to the industry, he is not only powerful in his own plays, but also poisonous in his vision of reading scripts."

You say, what will people in the industry think of him when the time comes? ”

The faces of the others changed slightly.

A person who has a good eye for reading the script is not only good for the role he plays, but also very good for the script he invests in, how else can he be seen?

Hug your thighs, of course!

If you don't hug your thighs at this time, when will you stay?

The film invested by Xu Jin, because there is no role, many people in the industry have a wait-and-see attitude, even Tang Ren is afraid that this is the case.

At that time, "Love Apartment" pulled the resource preparation team, which was the main brand of Xu Jin, and also pulled a large amount of money.

Later, they also heard some news, and it was said that those investors wanted Xu Jin to play a role in it and settle their hearts.

But Xu Jin refused without thinking.

They also know the reason for Xu Jin's refusal, with the team of "Love Apartment", they can't afford to hire a coffee like Xu Jin at all, and Tang Ren will definitely not let him star because Xu Jin has a stake in this film.

Xu Jin didn't want to mess with Tang Ren, so he directly refused.

This approach can be called decisive, investors saw that they were unsuccessful, and asked to withdraw their capital, and then Xu Jin increased his investment and became the main investor of "Love Apartment".

"If those investors know that the quality of the finished film of "Love Apartment" is actually not bad, I'm afraid the intestines will be repentant, right?"

After this battle, as long as the ratings of "Love Apartment" are good, Xu Jin's signboard will only get louder and louder.

Everyone will not only focus on the dramas he participated in, but also on the dramas he invested, with such appeal, why should Xu Jin not be able to pull funds?

I'm afraid that many crews will also aim at Xu Jin, hoping that Xu Jin can come in with a kick.

If Xu Jin can really invest, it will also prove the excellence of these crews in disguise!

"Ugh." A high-level executive sighed softly, "It's not a good day." ”

The others also looked at each other, and thought of a lot at this moment.

"The competition is getting tougher."

"We have to show more sincerity to get a piece of the pie!"

"Li Ming, you continue to contact Xu Jin!"

Hmmm-

More than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Li Ming in unison.

Li Ming felt the huge pressure again, his face turned solemn, and he nodded slightly stiffly: "I will work hard to bring greater benefits to the company, and I will not hesitate!" ”

……

After the beginning of summer, the weather is hot, the days are long and the nights are short, is there still thunder rolling, and there are a few summer rains here in the magic capital.

In order to be able to film "Red Cliff", He Chuan pushed most of the notices to Xu Jin, asking him to stay at home and rest with peace of mind.

After just staying at home for three days, Xu Jin couldn't sit still and began to ask about the progress of "Red Cliff".

On this day, Xu Jin came to the office of He Chuan of the company, and He Chuan was no more, so he sat down first and made himself a cup of tea with a tea set.

Now he also loves to drink tea, and when he is older, he has to start learning to cultivate his body!

Even though his age is still very young from the outside world, in the entertainment industry, he is indeed old.

Bang!

The door of the office was pushed open, and He Chuan walked in with a gloomy face, frowning, as if he was a little puzzled.

Xu Jin saw it and asked, "What happened, the work arrangement is not going well?" ”

Only then did He Chuan notice that Xu Jin was here, and his brows widened a little, but he was still a little gloomy, "Are you here?" ”

He sat opposite Xu Jin, picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat, and said seriously: "I have been communicating with the crew of Chibi in the past few days, Director Wu has clearly told me many times that he wants to invite you to join the crew, and the answer I gave is also very clear, Xu Jin is willing to join the crew, and then asked him for the script many times. ”

Generally, the normal audition process will show the actor the script, or I will give you a clip of the performance, and you can show me.

The former is a preferential treatment for actors who have become famous, while the latter is a common experience for newcomers.

The script involves the filming content of the crew, in order to prevent leaks, it is not easy for the actors to watch it, but since Xu Jin became famous, there is no such restriction.

Famous stars who are mixed in the entertainment industry also have professional ethics, and they know what news can be said and what news cannot be said.

Once you accidentally cross the line, it is easy to be boycotted by other people in the circle.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for a famous actor to leak the script, and the crew is very relieved at this point.

Xu Jin thought for a while: "Looking at you like this, is it because the script is not going well?" ”

He Chuan sighed, "It's not going well, they don't want to give the script at all." ”

Xu Jin was also a little puzzled, and asked funny: "Why don't you give it, is it because you are afraid that I will leak the script?" ”

He Chuan shook his head, "I also want to ask the director about this, but the director prevaricates with me, hoping that you can come over and participate, but he doesn't specifically say what role you are participating in." ”

"Don't even tell me what role I'm participating in?" Xu Jinqi, hasn't the crew decided on the script yet?

"Red Cliff" is based on the history of the Three Kingdoms, and most of the characters who appear in the movie are the number one characters in the Three Kingdoms.

It stands to reason that once the script is determined, it is not difficult to gradually find actors to set the roles.

And He Chuan mentioned to him before that the director of "Red Cliff" spent four years polishing the script.

4 years is so long, no matter how bad the script is, it must have been polished to perfection.

"Don't say it, no matter how much I urge, they won't give me the script, not even what role you want to play." Kagawa Road.

Xu Jin thought about it, if even the director is not sure what role to give the actor, it is obvious that the actor has not been selected at this stage.

"I remember you said before that Chibi will start filming in May, right?"

"Yes, I just calculated the time before, and after you finish filming the snail house, you can take over Chibi."

Xu Jin said slowly: "Judging from the current situation in Chibi, it is already May, can it start filming smoothly in the middle of the year?" ”

He Chuan sighed, "To be honest, I'm not sure anymore. ”

"It was said that filming would start in May, who released the news?" Xu Jin asked again.

"Director Wu." He Chuan remembers this very clearly, "In March, I received a message from Chibi, saying that I wanted to invite you to perform, and I checked it at that time, Director Wu happened to have a media interview in March, revealing that Chibi would start filming in May. ”

Xu Jin said: "You call again and ask, can filming start smoothly in May?" ”

He Chuan's expression moved slightly, "Do you doubt—"

Xu Jin nodded.
