229 rushed to the capital
At half past four in the afternoon, Xu Wenhao passed the script of episodes 1-10 to Liu Gaoyuan.
Liu Gaoyuan didn't go to work, but he had already informed the people in the Entertainment Bureau that there would be a script coming over today. Because it was the explanation of the Minister of the Shudu Bureau, the section chief of the audit office of the Entertainment Branch and the staff of the two script reviews also went to work normally today. After receiving the script, the section chief immediately asked the secretary to print it and called the reviewers.
Half an hour later, the three of them put down the script almost at the same time, then looked at each other, and then invariably picked up the script again and read it a second time.
This time, after an hour's interval, the three of them put down the script again.
Section Chief: "Tell me your opinions. ”
The slightly chubby reviewer said, "It's a good script!" Unlike most scripts, which are slow-burning, the first episode shocked me. And the plot in the back is not too much delay, it is completely written according to the rhythm of the movie. ”
Another slender and tall auditor nodded: "If this drama can be matched with a good director and good actors, it will definitely explode." ”
"It's just ......," the fat man said his worries, "the script is good, but it is also too realistic, and it is likely to have a bad impact on the outside world, even if we pass, the outcome of the General Administration is uncertain." ”
The thin man disagreed: "Now that the country's credibility has reached its peak, it is this kind of film that can make the people feel the country's determination to fight corruption and promote clean government." Since this is the task of the state, the General Directorate may prefer to see this kind of script. ”
The fat man also likes this script, so he won't argue with the thin man about whether he can pass the review, but asks: "Section chief, who is this screenwriter, so powerful, is it from our Shudu?" ”
The section chief nodded: "Well, the blocker, he has handed in the script before, and he wrote it." ”
The fat man scratched his head, and couldn't remember for a while: "? ”
The thin man remembered: "Oh, Xu Wenhao, the most popular one in the entertainment industry now!" ”
The fat man said "wow" and said, "What movie did Huatou co-produce?" is a thrilling and witty action movie, I never thought that Xu Wenhao could write such a drama script. ”
The section chief said: "You see that he has only made his official debut for more than a month, and he has already made such achievements in the music world, so you know that you can't use common sense to figure him out." ”
The thin man asked, "Section chief, if this script is over, who is the bureau going to find to shoot it?" ”
The fat man said: "Since this is the correct task of each capital, of course I am looking for a director from Shudu." ”
The thin man said: "The first choice must be Liu Xia of Fangyuan Pictures, after all, he is the leader of the six generations of directors, but his new drama has already started filming, and he may not be available." ”
Fat man: "Then ask Dongyang's Niu Xingtian, if the super blue Zhou Zheng has a schedule." ”
The section chief coughed twice and said, "Don't think about this, Xu Wenhao's request is to write, direct and act by himself." ”
"Huh?" The fat man and the thin man screamed at the same time.
"Xu Wenhao hasn't directed a play, right?"
"Although the script is good, it is just a skeleton, and it needs a good director to give it flesh and soul, otherwise it will ruin this play."
"No, no, this kind of drama can't be directed by a rookie."
"This is not a movie, and I still take selfies, direct and act, this is the task of Zhengzhi, and I can't do nonsense."
The two of you said one by one.
The section chief patted the table: "We are the audit room, not the coordination room, so we can't worry about this kind of thing." I just ask, what do you think, can this script be passed? ”
The fat and thin men glanced at each other and nodded unwillingly: "Of course." ”
The section chief took out a form: "Then let's sign all three of us." ”
"Section chief...... "What else does the fat man want to say."
The section chief said impatiently: "This is the script that Minister Liu personally passed on to me!" ”
The fat man and the thin man were stunned: Okay, since there is such a relationship, if Xu Wenhao's requirements are not met, people will not hand in the script, and no one can do anything.
After signing, the section chief returned to the office and immediately sent two emails with scripts, one to the director of the Shudu Entertainment Bureau, and the other to the section chief of the audit office of the Beijing Entertainment Bureau, and then just wait for the reply after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the next two days on the 20th and 21st, because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Wenhao did not arrange work for himself, but accompanied this and that, and at the same time maintained close contact with several lovers in the distance.
Many people are lamenting that others are running various announcements and promotions for their albums, and they are very busy, including singers such as Zhou Tianwang and Yang Tianhou, who have a higher status than Xu Wenhao. But only Xu Wenhao is so leisurely, but the sales of the album are still rising steadily. This made Lin Tianwang, who ranked second on the sales list, under great pressure, and received six notices during a three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, for fear that Xu Wenhao would explode the chrysanthemums.
On Wednesday the 22nd, normal working hours resumed nationwide. Xu Wenhao ran to the company and prepared to record a song.
It's still the same, the secretary Xiao Zhao just typed the appointment report, and the music department passed it within half an hour, and arranged a producer and a group of staff for Xu Wenhao, and the best recording studio was also vacant.
The producer is of course Producer Li, except for Xu Wenhao, no one in Dongyang can beat him. But Xu Wenhao didn't have time to do post-production coordination, so it was necessary to arrange an additional producer.
When he got Xu Wenhao's score, Producer Li was dumbfounded: "Xiao Xu, what are you doing here?" ”
"What's wrong?" Xu Wenhao asked rhetorically.
Producer Li scratched his head: "The song is very good, it has the soft and warm feeling of a country ballad, but the lyrics are ...... This is the head of the bull and the mouth of the horse. ”
Xu Wenhao smiled: "Isn't it very good, causing a huge psychological gap for fans, but it is more attractive, right?" ”
If it were someone else, Producer Li could slap the score on the other party's face, but for Xu Wenhao, he could only scratch his head desperately: "It's not a psychological gap...... The title of the song + the tune gives people an illusion, but with such lyrics, it's too ...... It's too sassy, a bit of a joke on the fans. ”
Hey, big brother, you're on the point, I won't choose it if you don't make a fuss!
But he couldn't explain it to Producer Li like this, Xu Wenhao had to promise: "Don't worry, I'm measured, this second album, I want to make something different to play with music, and the sales won't be bad." ”
"Okay." In the face of Xu Wenhao, producer Li had no choice but to compromise. Because Xu Wenhao's first album rushed to the third place in annual sales, this achievement is already the top in the eyes of everyone in Dongyang. He wants to have a play, not to mention the ability he is showing now, even the company that has made a lot of money on it will not object. What's more, the tune of this song, and the previous lyrics of the chorus, are indeed excellent.
"I still have to make a music video before I put it on the shelves." That's the point, without the MV, the effect of earning sentiment points is halved.
Producer Lee: "......"
The recording was completed in an hour, and Xu Wenhao personally participated in the arrangement in order to shoot the MV as soon as possible, so that the post-production work was half faster and could be completed today.
In the afternoon, I submitted an application for filming the MV, and the feedback from the music department was also fast, and it was scheduled for tomorrow.
Also in the afternoon, in the small conference room of the Beijing Entertainment Bureau, a deputy director, plus the section chiefs of the audit room, the coordination room, the finance room, and the film studio gathered together, and they all had the script they had just finished reading in front of them.
The deputy director was the first to speak: "Everyone has read the script, right? This was submitted by Shudu this morning, and what I mean is that it will be intercepted, filmed by us, and broadcast on Huaxia Channel. ”
The chief of the audit office was the first to jump out, after all, it was his suggestion to the bureau: "I agree, I haven't seen such a wonderful script for almost ten years." ”
The head of the film studio nodded: "It's a pity to put such a wonderful drama on local satellite TV, and Shudu Satellite TV is only ranked eighth, and its influence is a little worse." ”
Chief of Finance Office: "You just say, how much does it cost?" ”
The section chief of the coordination office replied: "According to Shudu, this drama has 52 episodes. Because it is a main drama, although there are not so many stunts, but keep improving, and the budget will be spent at least 200-3 million episodes. ”
Chief of the Finance Office: "That's no problem, not to mention that Huaxia Taiwan still has to participate in shares." ”
Deputy Director: "Then since everyone is fine, I'll call Shudu." ”
Everyone nodded.
The phone was quickly connected, and when he heard that the script was intercepted, the director of the Shudu Entertainment Branch was unhappy, after all, this was the script for Shudu to complete the task of Zhengzhi.
As a result, the deputy director of the General Administration said that the script that was originally filmed by the General Administration and was to be filmed on Huaxia Station was changed to Shudu, and the director had no opinion.
However, the director of the sub-bureau remembered that the chief of the review office had mentioned to him the additional conditions of the script today, and hurriedly said: "It's okay to change the script, but this screenwriter requires himself to write, direct, and act." ”
"Huh?" When the deputy director of the General Administration heard this, he was first surprised, and then picked up the script in his hand and looked at the author's name, "Xu Wenhao, is he a director?" ”
"No, it's a singer, it's an actor."
"Isn't that nonsense?" The deputy director couldn't cry or laugh, "He hasn't been a director, how can he direct this kind of drama?" And has he ever acted in this kind of drama? Still want to star? Hou Liangping's role, can he control it? ”
"But if he doesn't meet his requirements, he won't give the script." The director was helpless.
"Impossible! Make it clear to him that the state attaches great importance to this film and television activity, let him cooperate, and we will also offer a price that satisfies him, and even a guaranteed share. Secondly, we arranged a green channel for him, as long as it was his script and there were no violations, it would be reviewed within three days. ”
"Then you tell Minister Liu." The deputy director of the General Bureau was one level higher than the director of the bureau, and the director did not entangle with the other party and threw the pot out.
"Minister Liu? Which Minister Liu? ”
"Minister of Shudu Officials, Liu Gaoyuan, Principal of Shudu Guozijian."
The deputy director was puzzled: "What does this have to do with Minister Liu?" ”
The director of the sub-bureau knew Xu Wenhao's identity and replied: "He is Minister Liu's son-in-law." ”
"Uh...... Let's talk about it again. The deputy chief hung up.
There was silence in the room for a while, as the phone calls were heard.
It was a matter of the interests of the studio, so it was the section chief who spoke first: "The officials can't interfere in the affairs of the household department." ”
Everyone gave him a blank look: The problem now is that the screenwriter is the son-in-law of the Shudu Officials! If you don't agree to the request, others have every right to get the script back and shoot it in Shudu.
You don't let the script ever be? People have channels to find you!
If you wear small shoes for this Xu Wenhao in the future, you must be reasonable, because people have channels to find you to fight!
Therefore, no one is afraid of anyone.
The section chief of the coordination office was reluctant: "Then the only way to return the script to Shudu is to return it." ”
The other three section chiefs sighed cooperatively.
The reason why the deputy director was able to sit in the position of deputy director was that his head always turned fast, he thought about it and said, "What to hand back?" It's an exchange! Who is that, Xu Wenhao, who wants to write, direct and act by himself, right? Promise him. Anyway, the producer is our people, and the assistant director is also arranged by us, as long as he doesn't direct well, the acting is not good, and even the selected actors are not good, we have the right to replace them. ”
The head of the finance office is worried: "This will add a lot of budget. ”
The deputy director smiled: "As long as the plot of the next 42 episodes of this drama is the same as the first 10 episodes, then 90% of it will be popular, not only can it make the attention of the above, but it can also make a lot of money, even if it has an extra budget of one or two hundred million, it is nothing." ”
All the staff passed, and the news was also passed to the Shudu Entertainment Branch in a timely manner. The director of the sub-bureau also immediately reported the news and requirements of the general bureau to Liu Gaoyuan.
Liu Gaoyuan was in a high position, of course, everything was thought of, and when he informed Xu Wenhao, he told Xu Wenhao the pros and cons. Of course, it goes without saying that Huaxia TV's ratings on the main drama are not comparable to any local TV station; The disadvantage is naturally that he went to the capital, and the crew is full of people over there, everyone is staring at him, waiting for him to make a mistake, and the pressure is not ordinary.
Since he is his son-in-law and a life-saving benefactor, Liu Gaoyuan finally said: "If you don't want to, I can take the script back and let us shoot it by ourselves, and we don't have to be embarrassed, because we are reasonable." ”
"Uncle, it's okay, in order for more people to see this show, this is the best choice." Of course, Xu Wenhao is fearless, he has acting expertise, as well as director expertise including the magic skill of "training actors", plus the finished film in his head, if he still fails, he can only eat and apologize.
"Good boy!" Liu Gaoyuan is becoming more and more satisfied with this son-in-law.
The next day, he started filming the MV, and in order to earn emotional points, Xu Wenhao personally played the leading role. The MV shooting of this song is very simple, just a few scene transitions, and the heroine only needs to pose a few actions. It's just a little more complicated in the later stage, and a lot of special effects will be added.
The heroine is a newcomer who has just signed a contract with Dongyang, in line with Xu Wenhao's requirements, she doesn't need to have too good acting skills, as long as she can laugh, cry, and get angry, she won't even have a rival scene, the most important thing is to have a good figure.
Fans watch the MV, either the plot, the appearance of the male and female protagonists, or the figure, and they have no other hobbies. Otherwise, if you just like songs, you can just buy digital singles, which are half the price.
The MV was filmed in the afternoon, and the music department will do the post-production according to Xu Wenhao's requirements. As soon as Xu Wenhao returned to the company, the director of the film and television department came to visit, of course, for the sake of it.
They have already received the wind, which was originally filmed in Shudu, and now it has been transferred to Huaxia Station. This undoubtedly shows the power of this script, and at the same time, the dissemination and influence have been tripled.
Last year, in 2020, the top 20 TV drama ratings rankings were either Huaxia No. 1 or Huaxia Channel 8's TV series, which can be seen.
However, he didn't come to put pressure on Xu Wenhao, he just politely requested: Under the same conditions, Dongyang's actors should be considered first.
Of course Xu Wenhao has no opinion, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, as long as their own fields can afford it. Anyway, when the audition comes, I will notify the film and television department, and all those who have acting skills and schedules will come to the capital.
Because he was going to leave for the capital tomorrow, Xu Wenhao first accompanied Yang La, then Liu Qinhuan, and finally went home to accompany thank you. The next day, Xu Wenhao and Tan Qingqing set off together, and did not take the same plane as Wang Wanan and Xiao Tang. Both of them know that he is tired, but they don't bother to care about him, as long as they don't expose it.
This time I went to the capital, and I basically stayed for a long time. There are a lot of things, which is the top priority, and then there is the National Day Gala, and I have to participate in a more famous music talk show on Huaxia Music Channel.
And this week, it is not a two-person world with Tan Qingqing, because Yangmei is doing propaganda in the capital, and she also has to participate in the National Day Gala.
Yang Mei knew that Xu Wenhao was coming, and she was going to pick him up in person, but when she heard Xu Wenhao say that she had a companion, Yang Mei understood.
However, no matter how cheerful she was, she was still a little angry, so she joked: "Isn't it time to get to know each other yet?" ”
Xu Wenhao knew that Yangmei was generous and sensible, and he replied directly: "When you meet, when you are in the same bed and waiting for the same husband, are you ready?" ”
Yangmei sent a "grimace" emoji: "Think beautifully!" ”
"What's that smile on you? Good Yindang! Tan Qingqing said angrily on the side.
"It's a good friend of the capital." Xu Wenhao replied casually.
Tan Qingqing couldn't help but gently pinch Xu Wenhao: "Although I am not as powerful as you, I am also a psychology expert, can you be careful when you lie to me." ”
Xu Wenhao put down his mobile phone, looked at Tan Qingqing, his eyes quickly reddened, his nose began to twitch, and he said with a sad face: "What a friend." ”
Tan Qingqing covered her mouth and chuckled: "This acting is good, I'm kind of looking forward to your movie." ”
Xu Wenhao accepted his acting skills, wiped his eyes, and said with a smile: "Maybe you saw a TV series first." ”
"You know, it was quite popular some time ago, what is the TV series?" It's not that Tan Qingqing is gossiping, but that she loves Xu Wenhao, so subconsciously, she wants to know everything about Xu Wenhao.
", a TV series that fights corruption and advocates clean government. There is nothing to hide from Tan Qingqing, and when he arrives in the capital and starts casting, there will naturally be news.
"Oh, I know, I've heard the news, every capital is going to make this type of film and television drama." Tan Qingqing is a person in the system after all, and it is normal to hear it, but she is still a little puzzled, "Your only work in the film and television industry has not been released yet, how could you let you come to Beijing to shoot this kind of drama?" Supporting? No, just shoot it in Shudu. ”
In front of women, you must pretend to be 13, Xu Wenhao said lightly: "I originally wrote a script for Shudu, but the General Administration took a fancy to it and asked me to come to the capital to shoot and broadcast it on Huaxia TV, and agreed that I would direct and act by myself, what can I do." ”
Tan Qingqing didn't say anything, leaned over and bit Xu Wenhao's neck.
"Yikes!" Xu Wenhao hurriedly covered his neck, and if he left traces, it would be overturned.
Tan Qingqing looked at Xu Wenhao's nervous appearance and said with a smile: "There is no mark, look at you like that." ”
Xu Wenhao wanted to fight back, but unfortunately he was wearing a mask, this was economy class again, and there were people everywhere, so he had to say fiercely: "I'll pick you up when I get off the plane." ”
Tan Qingqing said a sentence that made her regret: "It's not certain who will clean up whom." ”
She thought about Xu Wenhao's martial arts, she had also trained in the police academy for several years, and women were already several times stronger than men in that regard, as long as the first time passed, it was impossible to be afraid of Xu Wenhao in the future.
A little more than two hours, the two arrived in the capital. Tan Qingqing was picked up by the staff of the police headquarters, and Xu Wenhao had to temporarily separate from her and go to a five-star hotel booked for him by the Entertainment Administration.
Wang Wanan and Xiao Tang were one flight earlier than Xu Wenhao, and they had already been contacted by the General Administration of Hotels and Entertainment and the Huaxia TV film and television production team, just waiting for Xu Wenhao.
Xu Wenhao came over, first asked Wang Wanan's opinion, and then signed the contract.
In addition to the harsh requirements for filming, the contract is very lenient and the benefits are rich, after all, Xu Wenhao wears three positions.
As for the filming requirements, it is to accept the supervision of the producer and the two assistant directors. If there are obvious flaws during the filming process that cannot be remedied, if it is an acting problem, quit the role of the protagonist; If it's a matter of directing, step down as director.
Of course, this is what Xu Wenhao doesn't care about the most. And the General Administration of Entertainment is also a very disciplined organization and will not deliberately stumble.
As soon as the contract was signed, the producer arranged by Huaxia TV asked Xu Wenhao when he would arrange the audition, whether he had anyone in mind, and if there was a fixed role, they could send out an invitation. After all, the crew and everything are ready, this is the speed of the General Administration and Huaxia TV.
Xu Wenhao had already made a list and sent it to the producer immediately.
After all, it is a big drama, with 17 main characters and countless supporting roles. In order to ensure the quality of the TV series, Xu Wenhao has prepared his homework, and searched in this time and space according to the main actors in his mind as a reference. Then I found that there are many similar ones, and because these people have been influenced by the era of big entertainment, their acting skills are much better than those of actors in that time and space.
As for the similarities, Xu Wenhao was not surprised. Because when the system was activated, it was already prompted: the environment match degree is 90%.
However, it is still necessary to give Dongyang's actors more opportunities, and the acting skills of several old actors are also good, and they are not irreplaceable.
"Yang Tianhou is in the capital, who are you coming with?" After the people from the Entertainment Administration and Huaxia Station left, Wang Wanan asked curiously.
"What? You're going to be my time management planner, aren't you? ”
"Get out, I really hope you can experience the taste of Shura Field soon!"
"Huh...... Scold. Xu Wenhao sneered twice.
Shura field? Forget it, now there is only one Zeng Yan who doesn't know the truth. The world is about to be realized, and then all the members are integrated, where is the Shura field?
(
