Xu Zhen stayed in the crew of "Kite" until mid-July.

By July 12th, all the scenes of Gong Shu have been filmed, and there may be some shots that need to be reshot in the future, as well as a small amount of dubbing that needs to be recorded, but these jobs will have to wait until a while to complete.

That night, Liu Yongqing specially convened all the main creative staff and held a finale banquet for Xu Zhen, and once again solemnly thanked him for coming to the rescue of the "Kite" crew and contributing such a wonderful performance.

Xu Zhen didn't dare to take credit.

"Kite" is the best spy war script he has seen in the past two years, and he took this opportunity to meet a group of conscientious Huaxia TV people, which also made him feel very honored.

Xu Zhen is very interested in spy war dramas, he originally thought about preparing to shoot one by himself, and the company has already begun to find a book for him.

However, after experiencing "Kite", Xu Zhen put this plan on hold again.

——Once the sea was difficult to water......

Compared with "Kite", he only felt that the books he had seen before were all boring.

Whether it is the excitement of the story, the depth of the feelings, or the vividness of the characters, none of them can compare with this drama.

Director Liu has been deeply involved in spy war dramas for many years, and he does have his own uniqueness in this regard.

The ruler is short, the inch is long, and there is indeed a certain gap between its own Langya Pavilion Film and Television Co., Ltd. and others.

……

On July 13, Xu Zhen rushed back to the capital from Hengzhou by plane.

Since the beginning of July, Cai Shijian has said that he will hold a semi-annual work meeting to summarize the recent gains and losses and arrange the deployment of the next stage of work; But Xu Zhen, the "second master", was not there, so this meeting has been delayed until today.

At half past two in the afternoon of the same day, the plane arrived in the capital, and Qiao Feng personally drove him to pick him up and directly dragged him to the company's office.

"How's it going, you're tired, aren't you?"

Qiao Feng drove the car in front, looked at Xu Zhen's tired expression through the rearview mirror, and said with a smile: "I heard that you were still buried in the grave?" Oops, it's not easy to be an actor. ”

"If I can't stand this, I don't dare to stay alone in a claustrophobic place."

Xu Zhen sat on the back seat, looking at Qiao Feng's increasingly wide back, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

Well, if you want to bury Brother Qiao, this pit is estimated that you will have to dig out water.

Xu Zhen asked: "How are the preparations for "Orphaned" now?" ”

Qiao Feng said: "It's basically almost, Mr. Peng of Huaying just had a meeting with us a few days ago, saying that it is expected to start around mid-August." ”

He couldn't help but sigh: "Your workload this year is too full. ”

"Since the beginning of the year, "Embroidered Spring Knife", "October Siege", "Kite", and "Lost Orphan" in the second half of the year, I have participated in three movies and one TV series in a year, and the donkey of the production team has not done this."

"Take advantage of this month to take a break, and it may not be when there is a window period."

When Xu Zhen heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Qiao, didn't I have no drama appointment after the filming of "Orphaned"?" ”

"What else?"

Qiao Feng said: "You don't have a drama appointment, the company does." ”

"Last month's Magnolia Awards, "Langya Bang" won the best TV series of the year, and many TV stations are rushing to cooperate with us."

"Taking advantage of this shareholder wind, strike while the iron is hot and have another fire drama, and the signboard of 'Langya Pavilion' will be completely secured."

While speaking, Qiao Feng tilted his head back slightly, and said, "Mr. Cai should tell you about this after a meeting, let's discuss it together." ”

"The second time you starred in a TV series, we must be selective."

“……”

The two chatted casually along the way, and soon came to the company's office.

"Langya Pavilion" Film and Television Co., Ltd. was officially established in March this year, and does not have its own fixed residence for the time being, but rents one of the floors of an office building as an office space.

After Qiao Feng parked the car in the backyard, the two walked into the public hall in the office building and came to the elevator room.

Xu Zhen looked up at the guidance sign on the wall and found that in addition to them, there are also Internet companies, law firms, early education institutions, and even a hair styling studio in this office building.

Looking at these various "neighbors", Xu Zhen wanted to laugh but was a little uncomfortable.

I still remember that in the past, Dongyue Film and Television had an independent office building.

Although it does not occupy a large area, the whole building belongs to itself.

The doorman's security guards would stop all the outside cars, and the artists would feel like they were coming home when they got there, never needing to wear sunglasses or masks.

The last time Xu Zhen went to Dongyue's headquarters was in the winter of the year before last, when a single poster of Zhou Yu in "Three Kingdoms" was hung at the door, and the young lady at the front desk also helped her take a photo with the poster.

"Brother Qiao, you say," Xu Zhen turned his head to look at Qiao Feng on the side and asked, "How much is the building of Dongyue Film and Television Headquarters worth?" ”

Qiao Feng asked, "Did you say rent or buy?" ”

Xu Zhen said: "Buy." ”

Qiao Feng thought for a moment and said, "This...... Its building should have been built about ten years ago, when it was desolate, and there was no subway, almost two or three hundred million; Now it's terrible, can't it be multiplied by more than ten or twenty times? ”

Xu Zhen: "......"

It's only two or three hundred million, ten or twenty times......

What kind of tiger and wolf words are these??

Qiao Feng said: "So, those who bought a house back then also bought it, and if they didn't buy it, they basically won't settle down in the capital anymore." ”

"Many new companies are headquartered in economic and technological development zones, and there are preferential tax policies......

Qiao Feng looked at his sluggish expression and said with a smile: "Why are you asking this?" Want to buy a house? ”

"Hahahaha, Ah Zhen, you're too funny, is that something you can afford?"

Xu Zhen: "......"

Okay, I was sloppy......

Qiao Feng reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Hey, let's think about something practical first." ”

"Your current economic situation is actually okay, if you don't consider investment, when the overseas copyright of "Langya Bang" is sold, you can get yourself a house first."

"If you can't afford to buy Jiang Naoki's villa, buy an ordinary one first, and then change it when you have money."

Qiao Feng pursed his lips and said, "What do you say about going to the temple as soon as you don't film?" It's like a wild monk placing an order. ”

Xu Zhen: "......"

Pierced Brother Qiao!

……

The two took the elevator to the ninth floor of the office building, and Xu Zhen, who was still full of ambition just now, was inexplicably a little depressed.

When Qiao Feng was about to arrive, he had already informed the company of the itinerary of the two, and at this time, Cai Shijian and the others were already waiting in the conference room.

"Oops, Mr. Xu is here!"

As soon as Xu Zhen entered the door, he heard Song Yu say a chic greeting to him.

"Mr. Xu is good, Mr. Xu sits!" Song Yuqi stood up, pretended to be attentive to pull out the chair beside him, bowed down and smiled like a horseboy, "Mr. Xu has come from afar to work hard, hurry up, please take a seat!" ”

"Hahahaha......" There was a burst of laughter in the conference room.

Xu Zhen stood beside him with a smile and said, "When did Minister Song come?" ”

Song Yu said: "I came a long time ago, and everyone had lunch together just now." ”

Xu Zhen turned his head to look around, smiled and greeted everyone at the table.

As the second shareholder of the company, it stands to reason that he should sit next to Chairman Cai Shijian.

But in a small meeting like this, the table is full of his own people, and everyone knows that Xu Zhen is a "salted fish vice president" who doesn't care about anything, so he is allowed to sit with Song Yu, Lin Jia and other juniors.

Cai Shijian saw Xu Zhendao, cleared his throat, and said into the microphone on the table: "Everyone is together, then let's have a meeting now." ”

"The main content of today's meeting is to summarize the company's work and honor ...... in the first half of the year."

Listening to the leader's emotionless reading voice from the speaker, Xu Zhen's mind immediately turned on the automatic blocking program.

Cai's practice of reading aloud is automatically transformed into "buzzing" white noise.

Song Yu on the side whispered to him: "Hey, when will your abduction movie start?" ”

Xu Zhen said in a low voice: "It is said that it is around mid-August." ”

Song Yu said: "Oh, then I'll open it first, we will start on August 3rd, deliberately in time for the day when "Langya Bang" is finished." ”

Xu Zhen knew that the company was going to shoot a medical-themed TV series in the second half of the year, and the final decision was for Song Yu and Xie Yanjun to play a pair of masters and apprentices.

However, the time conflicts with "Orphaned", and I should not have the opportunity to participate.

He turned his head and looked around, and said, "Teacher Xie didn't come?" ”

Song Yu said: "Mr. Xie recently went to the hospital as a nurse, saying that he wanted to experience life. ”

When Xu Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being an old drama bone that he admires, and the idea of "experiencing life" is the same as himself.

He asked Lin Jia on the side, "Does my sister participate in this drama?" ”

Lin Jia shook his head and said, "I won't participate." ”

"I've been working a lot lately, and I haven't taken on new plays, but Mr. Cai asked me to vacate the schedule at the beginning of next year, so I should have other arrangements."

“……”

A few people casually exchanged their recent work below, and then they stopped squeaking and sat quietly in their seats to touch the fish.

Cai Shijian's draft is obviously very well prepared, comprehensively summarizing the achievements of the company since its establishment, and his expression looks high-spirited.

However, Xu Zhen is not at all interested in the achievements that have been achieved.

He opened the home buying software on his mobile phone and briefly checked if there were any new real estate projects that had been opened recently.

Xu Zhen's favorite is actually the villa of Jiang Zhishu's family when filming "One Kiss to Love", but that house was left by Mr. Cai for his son, and he didn't want to sell anything.

But of course, even if he sells it, he can't afford it now.

Xu Zhen is currently mainly looking at ordinary communities.

He wants a house that does not have mountains, does not face the street, and is transparent from north to south, and the area does not need to be too large, but the location and house type must be good.

When the time comes, if you want to change to a bigger house, it is easier to make a move......

While Xu Zhen was concentrating on studying the floor plan, at the conference table, Cai Shijian was planning his "imperial territory" with great ambition.

"Last month, our company's first TV series "Langya Bang" won the Yulan Award for the 'Best TV Series' of the year," Cai Shixian said with a radiant face, "This depends on the joint efforts of all our members!" ”

"It is precisely because of this glory that we have ushered in an opportunity to rise!"

Mr. Cai's little eyes flashed with a sparkle of light, he grabbed a document at hand, and said: "We just received an invitation - two years later, CCTV will broadcast a batch of commemorative TV series celebrating the victory of the Anti-Japanese War." ”

"Therefore, CCTV issued invitations to major film and television companies, hoping that everyone can produce a batch of high-quality and in-depth anti-Japanese war dramas."

"If the quality is high, the schedule will be good, and the first quality will be set as the CCTV New Year's drama in the year after tomorrow!"

Speaking of this, Cai Shijian cleared his throat and said, "Attention, 'major film and television companies'." ”

His mouth almost reached the root of his ears, and he said with a smile: "Our Langya Pavilion is also one of the 'major film and television companies'!" ”

"We are now also a 'big' company with cards in the circle!"

"Hahaha......"

Hearing him repeat the word "big", a low laugh suddenly rang out in the conference room.

Cai Shijian reached out and stroked his hair, and said with a smile: "Of course, we must be low-key and cautious, and we can't float." ”

"Although "Langya Bang" has achieved good results, we have also seen many other excellent works at this year's Magnolia Awards."

"For example, the adaptation of the masterpiece "Empty Mountain Twilight Rain" has a very good picture texture."

"Skillfully controlling a high-cost TV series is also a topic that we need to cultivate."

Cai Shixian said with a serious face: "Although the production of "Langya Bang" is very sophisticated, it is not grand enough, and there must be a gap compared with those big productions that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. ”

"After all, the production budget of 85 million was already the limit for that time."

"But now it's different, we're not short of money!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and subconsciously raised his voice and shouted: "This time CCTV's invitation to war films, I plan to set the production budget at 150 million to 200 million!" ”

"Buzz ......"

The microphone at the conference table was overwhelmed and emitted a shrill buzzing sound.

Suddenly, Xu Zhen, who was looking at the floor plan, raised his head in astonishment.

What did Mr. Cai say just now?

1.5 to 2 ...... Hundred million?

What?!

Cai Shizheng was speaking energetically, and suddenly met Xu Zhen's stunned gaze, and he felt a little weak inexplicably.

Well, after all, 33% of it is people's money, and it still has to be agreed by "Mr. Xu......

"Ahem......" Mr. Cai cleared his throat and explained with some embarrassment, "Ah Zhen, CCTV is inviting us to make a war-themed TV series. ”

"I think it's a rare opportunity, and we should make it as good as possible."

Xu Zhen hadn't listened to it just now, his mind was a little confused, and he asked, "What drama?" Do we have a plan? ”

Cai Shijian asked the secretary to hand him a few documents, and said, "I've sifted a few books in the past few days, you can take a look." ”

"Is there anything you like, I was about to say this, I must have you to star in it......"

Xu Zhen took the documents from the secretary's hand, opened one of them, and muttered: ""Battle of Changsha"? ”

"Is Guan Gong fighting Changsha?"

He raised his head blankly and said, "It's not appropriate for me to play Guan Gong, right?" Is there Zhao Yun? ”

Cai Shijian: "......"

"Poof...... Hahaha!!! ”

A moment later, there was a burst of laughter in the conference room.
