Just as Qin Shaoze's sentence "You play the brother-in-law, I play the leading role" is nonsense, Xu Zhen's proposal is of course also fooling.

However, he is not purely "fooling".

When Xu Zhen first saw the project "Battle of Changsha", he really liked the role of his brother-in-law Xue Junshan.

This character is a full "**", eating and taking cards, stealing and playing tricks, the house is forcibly bought, and the daughter-in-law is also forcibly married, no matter how you calculate it, this is by no means a decent gentleman.

However, this ruffian is the pillar of the family, he truly loves his wife, and he is good to every member of his wife's family with all his heart.

In the face of the Changsha fire and the war, he also assumed the obligations of a soldier and never flinched.

This is a small person who has a loss, but does not lose the righteousness, there is both gangsterism and warmth, and the tension of the characters is quite strong.

But unfortunately, this role is indeed not suitable for Xu Zhen.

Like Qin Shaoze, in his thirties, tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a righteous temperament - this is what a "brother-in-law" should look like.

And Xu Zhen is more suitable for the male protagonist in the play: Gu Qingming, a young officer from a famous family who returned from abroad.

Of course, Qin Shaoze himself understands this truth.

But because Xu Zhen's attitude was too sincere, and even the contract was ready, he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart:

Why do you always feel that this guy is tricking me??

At the same time, as soon as the conversation between the two came out, Lin Jia, who was originally drawing dwarfs on the notebook, also raised his head suddenly.

She looked to the left and then to the right, her eyes a little cloudy.

What are you talking about?

Ah Zhen wants to play my brother-in-law??

"Ah, that, I'm sorry to interject......"

Excited, Lin Jia raised his hand weakly and whispered, "This, it's not suitable, right?" ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Xu Zhen who was not far away, and said, "I think that Mr. Qin has more experience and a wider acting path, so it's no problem to play Xue Junshan or Gu Qingming." ”

"However, Ah Zhen, you may not be able to play the brother-in-law, this character has rich experience and a relatively diverse personality, I'm afraid you can't grasp it."

When Xu Zhen heard this, he looked at Lin Jia with some surprise.

Awesome my sister......

This is a perfect score!

And Qin Shaoze, who was on the other side of the long table, couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, his heart was both happy and empty, and at the same time, he was a little ashamed.

Ah......h Compared with Xu Zhen, I even said that I have rich experience and a wide acting path??

False likes, false likes......

He looked at the "Battle of Changsha" project book in his hand, and roughly read the introduction of "Xue Junshan" above, and gradually ignited a little confidence in his heart.

Well, indeed, in terms of this role alone, Xu Zhen may not be able to play better than me......

"Hahaha......"

Xu Zhen smiled: "Senior sister is right, Qin can always play Gu Qingming, but I really can't play Xue Junshan." ”

He saw that Qin Shaoze had a tendency to fall into the ditch, so he took advantage of the car to strike the iron and continued: "Mr. Qin, Xue Junshan is not an ordinary supporting role, I really hope you can think about it." ”

"The popularity of the supporting roles in hit dramas is often higher than that of the protagonists of ordinary TV series."

Xu Zhen said: "Our company has not been established for a long time, and I dare not guarantee that "Battle of Changsha" will be popular, but the quality of this drama must be guaranteed. ”

"The shooting period is not long, about three months, you can give it a try, and it is not a choice to retreat into advance."

"Uh......" Qin Shaoze was also a little hesitant at this time.

He pondered for a long time and said: "I just looked at the synopsis of "Battle of Changsha", and it is indeed a good theme. ”

"And I also believe in the level of production of your company's TV series."

"In this way, investment can be considered, as for the ...... participation"

Xu Zhen didn't answer for a long time, smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Qin, I think you may have misunderstood." ”

"Let's sit here today and talk about cooperation, for the sake of money?"

Saying that, he said with a straight face: "I think your acting skills are excellent because I think you have excellent acting skills and can interpret the character of Xue Junshan well." ”

"I think, you asked me to participate in "The Long Thread of War", it shouldn't be to find Langya Pavilion to share the cost, right?"

Hearing this, Qin Shaoze hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course not, I mainly hope that you can participate in our TV series." ”

Talking about this, Qin Shaoze's attitude suddenly became earnest, and said: "I'll tell you the truth, the first two parts of the 'War' series have not achieved satisfactory results, and this project has been half scrapped. ”

"Even if the third script is good and the investment is high, if the original cast is still used to play it, I'm afraid the audience won't buy it."

"Only an actor of your strength can save this IP."

Hearing this, Xu Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Thank you Mr. Qin for your trust." ”

"But have you ever thought that instead of borrowing outsiders to reverse the fate of this IP, it is better to directly reverse your own fate?"

Xu Zhen saw Qin Shaoze's stunned expression and didn't answer for a long time, so he continued: "You have seen the script, you have also seen the character design, the production team is the original team of "Langya Bang". ”

"For this drama, we expect the production cost to be 1.5 to 200 million, and we plan to compete for next year's CCTV New Year's drama."

"If it can be successful, the popularity of this drama will definitely not be low."

Xu Zhen said: "If "Battle of Changsha" becomes popular, your popularity will definitely soar, and if you go to shoot the third part of "War of War" at this time, will the situation be different?" ”

Xu Zhen's words made Qin Shaoze feel excited.

Indeed, saving the popularity of IP can only cure the symptoms, and solving the problem of low popularity is the root cause.

The most important problem I need to solve at the moment is to participate in a hit drama and reverse the decline of filming a fight recently.

And Xu Zhen's TV series is undoubtedly a promising choice.

……

I don't know when the focus of the topic between the two sides has gradually shifted from cooperation to the production of "Battle of Changsha".

The more Qin Shaoze understood, the more surprised he became.

In terms of production, their company quietly connected Dongyue's post-production team to the pot at some point, which is the top level in the industry;

Moreover, Cai Shijian's family actually got four of the most advanced Erica HD cameras from overseas, which is bound to make the TV series have the texture of a movie.

director Meng Xiaosheng is the assistant director of "Breaking through the Guandong" and the co-director of "Langya Bang"; Not to mention the male and female protagonists, they are all popular first-line ......

No matter how Qin Shaoze looks at it, he feels that this drama will undoubtedly be popular.

Moreover, in just 28 episodes, it was only filmed......

What about a gamble?

Back then, I gave up the role of Zhu Chuanwu because of my boring self-esteem, and now I regret it, why don't you try to take on a supporting role in a fire drama?

……

The two sides talked about it from the afternoon to the evening, and Qin Shaoze finally decided to take over the role of Xue Junshan in the play, and at the same time invested 33% of the shares, participating in the investment in the "Battle of Changsha" project.

Not to make money for the company, but for their own future.

After the formal negotiation, Cai Shijian enthusiastically took Qin Shaoze and his party to visit his post-production studio and a documentary project that was being recorded.

Qin Shaoze listened to Cai Shijian, Xu Zhen and others cherish each project, and planned the preparations meticulously, and inexplicably felt the long-lost enthusiasm.

——This is the attitude of a person who really starts a business!

Being able to work with such a group of people is also a very rare experience for me!

It was getting late, and Qin Shaoze was personally sent downstairs by Cai Shijian and Xu Zhen to the headquarters of Langya Pavilion, only to feel that the whole person was enthusiastic and dizzy, and he was very much looking forward to the filming of "Battle of Changsha".

However, smiling and smiling, Qin Shaoze suddenly felt a little wrong.

Saying......

I came to Langya Pavilion, Xu Zhen didn't take my play, but spent half a billion yuan, and signed a "deed of sale" by the way......

Why am I still grinning??

Qin Shaoze turned his head and looked at Xu Zhen, who was standing in front of the building, waving goodbye to him with a bright smile, and the smile on his face gradually stiffened.

He suddenly recalled the TV series "Langya Bang" he watched last year.

In his current state, how do you feel a bit like His Royal Highness King Yu who was fooled and lame by Mei Changsu? ?
