After the copyright of "The Beginning" was sold, Xu Ji finally wanted to continue filming the Fairy Sword series.

Previously, because of the filming of the tribute drama "Mountains and Seas", the original plan to shoot Xianjian III, no, it should be said that Xianjian II was also temporarily shelved.

When the copyright of "The Beginning" was sold, in fact, several platforms also asked about Xu Jixian Jianer.

However, this time Xu Ji did not give a clear reply.

When Xianjian was in the first place, it was because of lack of money, and there was really no way.

But now it's different, at least this investment is still worth it.

So Xu Ji didn't plan to sell the copyright in advance.

The script was written before the filming of "Mountains and Seas".

Now all that's left is the casting.

......

"What do you say Director Xu called us all here?"

When Ji Yiyang received the news from Xu Ji, he thought he was just alone, but when he arrived, he found that there were quite a lot of people.

It should be said that the entire Tongji Entertainment currently signed actors are here.

Ran Bai and Zhu Zinan, as newcomers who have just joined, this is the first time they have met the other three.

Zhu Zinan is very familiar, and soon he has reached a relationship with the three of them, and he is asking questions there.

And Ran Bai is much more restrained.

Compared with the three old men of Tongji Entertainment, he and Zhu Zinan have not joined the company for a long time.

The most important thing is that he feels that the gap between the coffee positions is too big.

For example, Ji Yiyang, She Yue, An Cailing, and Weite fans have all exceeded 10 million.

The popularity is more than many first-line actors.

is definitely one of the leading artists in other companies, even in the three major entertainments, the three of them will be S-level signed actors.

However, it seems that An Cailing was originally a top idol signed by S-level in Phoenix Entertainment.

As soon as Fairy Sword was broadcast, it was a successful transformation into an actor.

Although he and Zhu Zinan gradually gained a lot of popularity after the broadcast of "Mountains and Seas", because of the subject matter, the popularity of the two is not comparable to these three.

So far, the number of Weite fans of the two has only exceeded one million.

To put it mildly, if it were in other companies, they wouldn't even have a chance to talk to these three people, let alone sit and chat face-to-face here.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's probably Director Xu's new drama."

She Yue said.

And after Zhu Zinan heard this, his eyes lit up and asked:

"It won't be the second part of the Legend of Sword and Fairy, right?"

An Cailing was also a little excited.

"Finally there's a filming!"

""The Beginning" actually just asked me to make a cameo, and I only joined the group for two days before it was completed."

"This time, I want to talk to Director Xu and arrange more roles for me."

Just as a few people were talking, Xu Ji also arrived.

Looking at the five actors in his company in front of him, Xu Ji is still very satisfied overall.

And this time to shoot the second part of Fairy Sword, that is, the third fairy sword in his memory, he also plans to use all these actors.

"Director Xu, is it the second part of the fairy sword?"

Seeing Xu Ji, Zhu Zinan couldn't wait to ask.

Then before Xu Ji could answer, he tilted his body to look behind Xu Ji again.

"Didn't Tongtong come?"

Xu Ji heard the other party mention Sha Yetong, and the black line appeared on his face.

After coughing twice, he pulled the topic back.

"This is the script, and I have marked the roles of each of you."

"Recently, I have read the script several times and figured out the characters."

As he spoke, Xu Ji handed the printed scripts in his hands to everyone individually.

Several people looked at the big words of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy II" on the script, and they were all excited.

Ji Yiyang - Sedum

She Yue - Yukimi

An Cailing - Nightshade

Ran Bai - Xu Changqing

Zhu Zinan - Zixuan

......

Silently counted it, this just happened to have the right role for everyone.

Of course, there are still many important roles that need to be cast and cast, so it will take some time before the official start of filming.

Xu Ji was not in a hurry to leave, just waiting here for a few people to read the script, and then answer some questions that they couldn't understand.

However, after several people had read the script, Ji Yi asked Xu Ji seriously with red eyes:

"Director Xu, are you really not afraid of being sent a blade?"

Several others agreed.

An Cailing and Zhu Zinan, the two women, were already crying while watching half of them.

Even She Yue, who is usually quiet, looked at Xu Ji with resentment in her eyes at this time.

Then he said:

"Director Xu, I think you did it on purpose."

Xu Ji spread his hands helplessly.

After answering some questions about the plot from a few people, Xu Ji left.

......

"Sister Man, when the time comes, I will first recruit the actors of the second part of Fairy Sword."

"Also, I asked if there were any special effects studios that I could acquire."

Xu Ji originally wanted to find a suitable actor by himself, but this efficiency was too low, so he simply used the previous method and directly recruited openly.

After all, it is prudent to look at the live audition effect and decide the final actor.

On top of that, the special effects are too expensive, and it's not easy to communicate.

Xu Ji wanted to be able to create his own special effects team when he was in Xianjian Yi.

It's impossible to do it all at once, but now is the time to put it on the agenda.

You Man agreed after hearing Xu Ji's words.

However, she felt that something was wrong, and Xu Ji would be polite when she let herself do things before.

Now how it feels more and more taken for granted.

......

Soon, the news of the second open recruitment of actors in the second part of the Legend of Sword and Fairy came out quickly.

If other crews recruit actors, there may not be many netizens outside the film and television industry who pay attention to it at all.

But this time it was different.

Xianjian Yi's popularity is too high, and many people have been urging Xu Ji to hurry up and shoot Xianjian Er.

It's just because Xu Ji filmed "Mountains and Seas" that there was no movement for a long time.

Now that there is news suddenly, netizens are naturally excited.

"Damn, the second part is finally going to be filmed?!

”

"I've been waiting for a long time, and it's finally here!"

"I'll just say that the name is Legend of Sword and Fairy I, then there will definitely be Legend of Sword and Fairy II!"

"The first part is really uneasy! But the characters are all dead, and only Li Xiaoyao is left alone, how can he shoot the second part? ”

"Xu Ji, this dog thief! If you weren't so ruthless to the characters in the play, you would still be a good director. ”

"Last time, Xu Ji stabbed everyone with anger, looking at the number of netizens who wanted to send blades, I felt scared when I looked at it, this second part should not be so bold, right?"

......

In addition to netizens who like Xianjianyi, who are very excited to hear this, the actors in the entertainment industry are also excited when they see the actor recruitment news issued by Tongji Entertainment.

Needless to say, the popularity of the second part of Fairy Sword is naturally needless to say, it can be seen from the fact that he just posted an actor recruitment information and was on the hot search in minutes.

Referring to the characters in Sword and Fairy, even if they are not the protagonists but some supporting roles, as long as they can be played, they will gain ridiculously high popularity.

The most critical point is that a popular drama like Fairy Sword will openly recruit actors.

And judging from the results of Xianjian Yi before, Xu Ji's selection of actors is quite fair.

This is also a great joy for many actors from small companies.

After all, in a drama like this with a big investment, the roles are basically snatched up by the artists of the three major entertainments, and when it is their turn to be the second- and third-tier actors of these small companies, all that remains are some soy sauce roles that don't have many lines.

Maybe they are not bad than their acting skills, but they can't compare with the background at all.

This is a phenomenon that exists in many dramas in which the three major entertainment companies participate in investment.

So not long after You Man sent out the recruitment, countless well-known and unknown actors in the entertainment industry flocked to him.

......

Phoenix Entertainment, in a small acting classroom.

"Do you know that the second part of Xu Ji's Legend of Sword and Fairy began to openly recruit actors to audition?"

At this time, these people here are all second-tier or third-tier actors signed by Phoenix Entertainment's B-level contract.

"Fairy Sword Part II?!"

"Damn, I'm definitely going to go! Such an opportunity cannot be missed. ”

Hearing this, after hearing the news, his face was full of excitement.

"Be quiet!"

The others reminded in unison.

"What's wrong?" This person is a newcomer who has just joined Phoenix Entertainment, and he has a very puzzled expression.

After that, someone said helplessly:

"Don't think about it, we can't get into Xu Ji's crew."

Someone took over and explained:

"Your company has never heard such a big news about our company's ban on Tongji Entertainment?"

- "Blocked? ”

The seniors explained to the newcomers who joined Phoenix Entertainment one by one.

After listening, the newcomer said with some loss: "According to your meaning, the company won't let us audition?" ”

One of the oldest second-tier actors replied helplessly:

"Now it's not a matter of whether the company lets you go."

"But with our background of Phoenix Entertainment, Xu Ji will not give us the opportunity to audition at all."

......

Hearing his assistant's words, Mr. Wang said a little angrily:

"Could it be that without Xu Ji's crew, our Phoenix Entertainment artists will have no drama to play?"

The assistant was afraid to speak.

She just reported all the problems reported by some agents below, and did not dare to express her opinion.

"Even two gold agents are starting to complain."

"Don't they have enough resources for the artists under them?"

"How attractive is Xu Ji's play?"

Mr. Wang was obviously angry.

He hadn't imagined that this would be the case.

A little Tongji entertainment.

said that it was a company, but the scale at the beginning was actually not comparable to some of Phoenix Entertainment's super-S artist studios.

Why is it so hard to deal with?

If you change to other small companies, after being banned by their Phoenix Entertainment, they may go bankrupt early.

As a result, now it is my own house that has been restrained everywhere.

It seems that we still have to start with Xu Ji itself.

Otherwise, if this heart disease is not solved early, he always feels that this Tongji entertainment is like a fish bone stuck in his throat.

"Xu Ji, after your debut, have you ever reported any black material?"

Mr. Wang asked while thinking.

The assistant thought for a moment before hesitating.

"Mr. Wang, does his scandal with Sha Yetong count?"

The assistant's words were met with a roll of eyes.

"It seems that Xu Ji was often bumped into by netizens on the street before, eating those street stall snacks."

watched the assistant think about it for a long time, and then came up with such a one,

Mr. Wang patted his forehead a little speechlessly.

"Forget it, let's think about it in the long run."

"Xu Ji's side will leave him alone for now."

......

Star City Grand Science and Technology Park, although the area of the entire park is not large, but its reputation can be said to be well-known in the country.

Because of the top 100 special effects studios in the entire Huaxia region, there are nineteen here.

Some other special effects studios that did not make it into the top 100 are countless.

Of course, these studios can be large and small.

The largest one is Honghu Studio, but it has thousands of employees and a lot of outsourcing teams.

The smallest one is just a small workshop of more than a dozen people.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that the industry competition in the entire Yuanda Science and Technology Park is very fierce.

Some companies can take up to three months from inception to closure.

A simple project can bankrupt it.

But even so, there are still many people in the film and television industry who come here every day to seek cooperation.

So even if one went out of business, there would soon be another studio on top.

I didn't even change the office supplies or anything, so I could just move in.

The mountain studio founded by Yin Zi is one of them.

In fact, the scale of the mountain studio is not small, with a total of nearly 100 employees.

Among the scale of special effects companies in Yuanda Science and Technology Park, it is at a medium level.

And it can be seen from the name of the studio that Yin Zi has a lot of ambitions.

At the beginning, Mountain Studio was even able to receive some special effects work with an investment of hundreds of millions in China.

But now, it's on the verge of going out of business.

"Boss, are you really going to sell the studio?"

"Can't you hold on any longer?"

"It's okay if we work late."

Yin has just had a meeting today, and he has already announced that he plans to package and sell the entire studio in the future.

If you don't want to stay, you can seek better development on your own.

And for those who don't want to leave, Yin Zi is also willing to find a better buyer for the studio.

So that they will not lose their jobs.

Among these people, many of them voluntarily followed themselves out of the secret sound studio of the top ten special effects studios in China.

At the beginning, he was ambitious, but he struggled for three years, but in the end, he ended up like this.

Yin Zi felt a little sorry for these old brothers.

"Lao Zheng, you actually know it very well."

"Our current situation is not something that one or two monthly wages can solve."

Speaking of this, Yin Zi sighed a little helplessly.

"When the time comes, in the last month, give the brothers more bonuses."

......

"I really don't understand, why is the industry like this?"

"Obviously, our special effects are so much better than those of studios of the same level, but those people don't watch them at all, they just care about how much it costs?!

”

"Can you watch those cheap special effects?"

Hearing this, if it was before, he would definitely be so indignantly scolded.

But now, Yin Zi only feels that his silence is greater than his heart.

He always felt that his persistence was right and would definitely be rewarded.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

He only cared about the skills of the people under him, but he never thought about embarrassing the studio's position because of this.

Compared with those large special effects studios, their studios are inferior in terms of numbers and technology.

But there are also some of them, but many crews who have high requirements for special effects and are not bad for money will not choose them.

As for many film and television dramas or movies that do not have high requirements for special effects, they dislike their long production cycle and high price.

Instead, they prefer to choose those cheaper studios.

For those of them who are investor, they are not willing to spend so much money on special effects.

Under the cost compression, even if the special effects are slightly worse, it will not have such a big impact.

Anyway, now the audience is used to it.

This money is not as high as the income brought by spending on some traffic stars.

For a long time, it has become an industry consensus.

It's not a blockbuster with a big investment, and the special effects just need to go to the lake.

Because of this, many special effects companies are also driven out of good money because of bad money, and most of them are either acquired or bankrupt.

After the meeting, Yin Zi sat alone in the office, with mixed feelings.

Probably this is the last time I will see this place that has been struggling for three years.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Boss, someone is looking for you."

......

Yin Zi looked at the young woman in front of him who was less than thirty years old with some curiosity.

He didn't expect that it would be so fast, the news that he wanted to sell the mountain studio should have just spread, and someone came to the door.

"Which of the top 10 studios are you from?"

The woman replied, "Neither." ”

Yin Zi was a little depressed when he heard this.

Because for these veteran employees, it is best to be able to enter one of the top ten special effects jobs.

Of course, he also knew that his idea was a bit unrealistic.

Top 10 special effects studios are so easy to get into.

"And which one are you from?"

According to Yin Zi's idea, as long as it is a top 100 studio, with a slightly better reputation, and it is not an assembly line project, he can actually accept it.

But unexpectedly, the other party shook his head again.

"I'm not from these special effects studios in the Yuanshan Science and Technology Park."

......

You Man didn't expect that not long after Xu Ji asked her to acquire the special effects team, she would find such a suitable company.

After all, there aren't many special effects teams that meet the requirements of Xu Ji.

First of all, just the technical foundation can be brushed off a lot.

The second is to reject those who can only do assembly lines, and those who use the material library lake are also excluded.

Then exclude well-known special effects studios such as Honghu and Miyin, and some studios under the three major entertainments.

In the end, there are very few of the remaining ones that really meet the conditions for acquisition.

The key is that people are willing to be acquired.

The mountains actually met the requirements of Xu Ji.

"Tongji Entertainment?"

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Yin Zi didn't react for a while.

I thought it was an unknown small company.

He said directly: "I'm sorry, although the scale of our studio is not large, it is different from other special effects companies with assembly lines. ”

"If you just want to find a random special effects team, there are still a lot of options in Yuanshan Science and Technology Park."

"You may have come to the wrong place."

After saying this, Yin Zi had already gotten up and was ready to send off the guests.

But You Man said unhurriedly:

"Do you know the Legend of Sword and Fairy?"

Yin Zi's body paused, and then sat back down.

He naturally knew about the drama Xianjian Yi, and he also knew that the special effects of this drama were produced by Honghu Studio.

It can be regarded as a top-notch drama in the entire Chinese special effects at present.

In addition to the popularity of the drama itself, in the industry, Honghu's special effects production level is also evident in this drama.

I've heard people from Bird & Bird Studios say that this drama is one of the most satisfying productions they've ever produced.

The key is that a young director named Xu Ji, as long as he can achieve better results, he doesn't care about spending money at all.

This allows Honghu people to do it freely, and this drama finally succeeded in becoming one of Honghu's masterpieces.

Now in the excellent works used by Honghu for related publicity, the name of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I" is at the top.

Wait a minute!

Tongji Entertainment?

Yin Zi suddenly remembered why he felt like he had heard this name somewhere.

"The Tongji Entertainment you just talked about, is it Xu Ji's company?"

You Man saw that the other party had already thought of it, and nodded, but there was no need to introduce it again.

Instead, he said directly:

"Mr. Yin, let me make my intention clear."

"Our company doesn't mean that we want to buy a random special effects team and then make some assembly line products."

"Director Xu's original words are that he hopes to cultivate a team that meets the requirements of our company's film and television dramas in the future."

"The Great Age of Genes"

"As for his requirements for the special effects of his works, you should be able to see it from "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I".

......

If it were another company, Yin Zi might still feel that this requirement was not too difficult.

But if it was Xu Ji who said it, then it would make people feel a little shocked.

The special effects of Xianjian Yi are made by Honghu Studio, which means that Xu Ji plans to cultivate a special effects team that is benchmarked against the top ten special effects studios?

How dare you think about it!

But if it's Xu Ji's company, then it's a good boss for the people of Mountain Studio.

......

After signing the acquisition contract, Yin Zi suddenly felt a sense of relief.

But when I looked at the place in front of me that had been struggling for more than three years, I was suddenly a little reluctant.

"By the way, Mr. Yin, I've finished talking about the acquisition."

"Would you be interested in talking about salary?"

Yin Zi was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

......

The various preparations for the second part of the fairy sword are being carried out in an orderly manner.

It didn't cost a lot of money to buy Mountain Studios.

After all, the scale of the studio is not large, and there are basically no assets and no surviving business.

The most important thing is that these people stayed, which can be regarded as supporting the basic framework of Xu Ji's special effects team.

After Yin Zi hesitated, he still stayed.

Now he is the head of the studio.

Xu Ji also planned to let Shanyue Studio and Honghu Studio work together in the post-production of Xianjian.

Let them work more with a top special effects team like Bird & Bird Studios, and the progress will definitely be rapid.

And in the future, the number of people in the mountains will definitely increase in a steady stream, as Yin thought before, Xu Ji really intends to train the mountains against the top special effects team in Huaxia.

......

At the same time, Xu Ji also received a call from Mo Jianwen that the third recording of "I Am a Songwriter" is about to start.

And he also guessed from the message Mo Jianwen sent to himself that the singers selected by the program group this time are estimated to be a little special.

Because in the last issue, Mo Jianwen was talking about the seven singers, but this time he used the measure word "group".

......
