Chapter 45: The Crew
A new week.
Zhou Xie surpassed Huang Hao, and "Little Apple" temporarily ranked first on the weekly pop music chart.
Xingdong Entertainment is famous again.
But no one cares.
Because there was a big discussion on the Internet.
Why is "Little Apple" popular?
Critics who have always been arrogant have also come down, but most of them have been criticized.
Some people think that such a vulgar song can occupy the first place, which is simply a shame in the music world.
There are also those who feel that it is just a happy song, and it doesn't have to be so online.
And it was Wang Zhi of Longteng Entertainment who completely detonated the topic.
Asked in an interview what you think of "Little Apple"?
He replied that there is nothing to comment on this song, please pay attention to my new album.
Wang Zhi's original intention was to promote his new album.
But entertainment reporters, who have never been too big of a deal, have become the king of heaven and say that "Little Apple" is useless and has no connotation.
So the controversy grew.
However, unexpectedly, the sales of "Little Apple" did not fall, but increased.
In addition, a large number of covers have appeared on video sites, offline KTV has become a must-order track this week, not to mention square dancing, which has been occupied.
Unconsciously, both offline and online, a kind of bombardment has formed.
Relieve pain and be happy.
The pain is that the criticism received in the past few days is simply the amount accumulated over several lifetimes.
Happiness naturally comes with an ever-increasing income.
This song is worth all his previous income.
"It's just a wasted life."
Zhou Xie doesn't know how many times he repeats this sentence.
"Sure enough, in a person's life, choice is very important."
He took out his mobile phone, opened the flash talk, and sent a private message to Song Yu.
"Brother Yu! I can't put into words how grateful I am, please bow to me! ”
"Brother Yu! Available? I'm treating you to a big meal! ”
"Brother Yu! What do you want? I'll buy it for you! ”
"Brother Yu! I want to ask, can you introduce me to Ye Xianglun, I want to thank him in person! If I can't meet him, can you give me his contact information? ”
There was a lot of noise on the Internet.
But the entertainment companies in the industry are shining brightly and seem to have found a way to make money.
Because "Little Apple" is really not difficult, imitation is a very simple thing.
In just a few days, various fruit songs have emerged.
Small bananas, small lychees, small mangoes, and so on.
Unfortunately, it did not become as they expected, and it became popular.
So, just like Zhou Jie, he began to look for Ye Xianglun.
Song Yu glanced at his mobile phone and did not panic at all.
You are looking for Ye Xianglun, what does it have to do with me Song Yu?
"Ye Xianglun doesn't want to be disturbed, and you don't have to thank him, he has made enough money."
Song Yu replied with a sentence.
In terms of sharing, Zhou Xie only accounted for one percent, while Song Yu accounted for three percent.
Plus fifty percent of Xingdong Entertainment, the biggest winner is himself, not Zhou Jie.
In fact, he's a tool man.
However, for him, the benefits of Yicheng have far exceeded his imagination.
"Song Yu."
Yan Hu walked into the conference room and said, "Zhuo Muquan has arrived at the door of the company. ”
"Okay."
Song Yu put away his mobile phone, went out, and met the TV series director in the aisle.
Forty-two years old this year, not much accomplishments.
The most filmed are idol dramas.
But there are almost no boutiques.
It's not that his skills are not good, but he shoots when he gives money and doesn't read the script.
The importance of the script cannot be overstated.
For example, director Zhang Yimou in his previous life.
There is certainly nothing to say about technology, but there are also bad movies.
The reason for this is that the story is not good.
"Zhuo Dao."
Song Yu greeted with a smile, "I'm Song Yu." ”
"Sure enough, it's a talent."
Zhuo Muquan's personality is quite easy-going, otherwise, he would not agree to the screenwriting center system.
This world is still mostly director-centric, after all, they are professionals.
Many screenwriters are halfway home, and they don't know much about their own jobs, let alone making movies.
But Song Yu is different, the system directly exchanged the script and the original TV series for him.
He just copied it, and it wasn't particularly difficult.
"Director Zhuo, have you read the script?"
Song Yu returned to the conference room, sat opposite Zhuo Muquan, and asked.
"I've seen it."
When Zhuo Muquan mentioned this, he showed an expression of sigh and said, "If you didn't look at the screenwriter, I thought it was Cheng Ying's handwriting." ”
Cheng Ying is a well-known screenwriter in the industry.
Especially in romantic dramas, he has made great achievements.
There are seven popular TV series, with an average rating of more than 5%.
"Zhuo Dao praises."
Song Yu quickly changed the topic and said, "Today's purpose is to form a crew, mainly actors and crew. ”
"No problem."
Zhuo Muquan took out a document and said, "This is the staff I often work with. ”
Song Yu opened it and glanced at it, it was very detailed.
Including the director team, production team, drama team, photography team, art team and so on.
For Xingdong Entertainment, which has just established a film and television department, it is undoubtedly of great help.
Of course, this is only temporary employment.
It's very difficult for them to join Xingdong Entertainment.
Paying a high price may not always be able to keep it.
Yanhu put away the information and said, "I will find someone to talk to them one by one, and if there is any problem, I will discuss it with Director Zhuo." ”
"Then it's the actor's business."
Song Yu took out an A4 piece of paper, handed it to Zhuo Muquan, and said, "This is the approximate list of actors I have drawn up." ”
TV series, in general, dozens, hundreds of actors are possible.
Naturally, he doesn't do everything.
"My Love from the Star", there are seven main actors.
Song Yu also wrote these seven, and the rest of the companies will look for them.
It doesn't matter if it's your own artist or not.
There are too few scenes, and the fire can't go anywhere, the impact is not big, and it can't suffer losses.
Zhuo Muquan nodded and took the A4 paper.
The male protagonist is Do Minjun, starring Song Yu.
The heroine Qian Songyi, starring Zhao Yan.
These two, he knew in advance.
Not a big problem.
From the perspective of idol dramas alone, with Song Yu's fame, it is enough to bring up the early ratings of a drama.
Although Zhao Yan's reputation is a little worse, it's okay.
Zhuo Muquan mainly looks at the second male and female second.
He frowned.
I don't know.
The second male Li Huijing, starring Pang Xu.
The second female Liu Shimei, starring Xi Wei.
The last three have heard of it.
The acting skills are good, but the fame is average, and they belong to the third and fourth tier actors.
To be honest, if it weren't for the excellent script and starring Song Yu, Zhuo Muquan would have felt that this drama would have hit the streets.
It's all newcomers, and it's hard to be popular.
Although there are probabilities, they are undoubtedly relatively small.
In particular, he was very suspicious of the acting skills of these four, and felt a little headache about his future.
If the acting skills are not up to par, you can only rely on the director to teach.
For example, the angel baby in his previous life, with the help of Director Xu Da, had a peak moment of appearance and acting skills in "Di Renjie's Divine Dragon King".
Zhuo Muquan hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.
Anyway, he already has the money.
Seeing this, Song Yu smiled and said, "Then trouble Director Zhuo." ”
The second male and second female he chose are from his own company.
Pang Xu is a trainee with the highest acting skills that he found with his discerning eye, reaching 45 points, which is slightly worse than him now, but acting in idol dramas is not a problem.
The second female is an actor with a fairy-like smile and a warm tone in the play, which is quite suitable for Xi Wei because she is beautiful.
In short, the crew is basically done, just waiting for the personnel to arrive and officially start filming.
