Chapter 223: Xu Ji's First Movie

"The investment in this drama is not large, you can put down your hands and shoot it."

"There's no need to be psychologically burdened."

Xu Ji said.

Yang Anran picked up the script in front of him, and then read the name on the cover with some surprise.

"Chess Soul?"

Xu Ji nodded.

Compared with the world in memory, the popularity of Go in this world is actually not much different.

can only be regarded as relatively niche.

If someone else came up with a script with such a theme, Yang Anran would probably be very skeptical that there was a need to shoot this drama.

But if this person is Xu Ji, Yang Anran will not have any thoughts.

He has absolute trust in Xu Ji.

The other party has also proved it before.

Even if it is a niche theme such as suspense and military dramas, it is still possible to write a good story.

"Director Xu, what about yourself?"

Poel asked.

Xu Ji only came up with two dramas this time.

made many people present curious about what kind of drama Xu Ji plans to make next.

Xu Ji did not hide it, and replied:

"I'm going to make our company's first film next."

Hearing Xu Ji's words, everyone present was a little surprised.

But then I was relieved.

None of them doubted that Xu Ji had the ability to make movies.

On the contrary, Xu Ji has only officially planned to enter the film industry until now, which is actually unexpected.

Xu Ji did not continue to explain, but said his own arrangement.

"This time, our company shot two dramas and one movie at once."

"The crew can no longer be assigned according to the configuration of the previous two crews."

"I will select some people from the original company team, and leave the two of you Pang and Yang Anran to be reasonably divided."

"You need to make up for the poor manpower yourself."

"It's still the same as before, if there is a suitable one, you can be absorbed into the company."

......

After talking for a while, Xu Ji completed all the things he planned.

At this time, Ji Yiyang, who was present, couldn't sit still.

Quickly spoke:

"Director Xu, what about us?"

"You haven't said anything about our role this time."

Hearing Ji Yiyang's question, Xu Ji was not surprised at all.

He opened his mouth and replied:

"Actually, I came to you this time, and it has something to do with it."

"You may have also noticed that although the company is now bigger, it can even shoot three dramas at once."

"But because of your current popularity and popularity, there are no roles suitable for everyone in the dramas produced by some companies."

"It's also likely that there will be quite a few of these in the future."

"So we are now playing fair, the company's drama, under the same conditions, you will all be the first choice."

"But if it's not very suitable for the role, then the director also has the right to refuse."

"In addition to that, I also encourage everyone to go out and find some good scripts and characters."

"When it comes to choosing scripts, I hope you will consider them carefully, and you can always come and ask my opinion."

......

Xu Ji's decision this time was actually prepared for a long time.

With the increasing number of signed actors of Tongji Entertainment, the popularity of Ji Yiyang and others is getting higher and higher.

At present, Tongji Entertainment's drama cannot satisfy everyone, which is certain.

And Xu Ji never thought that the actors of the company would have to shoot these dramas written by themselves.

There are still a lot of excellent directors and screenwriters out there.

Some dramas are also good opportunities for Ji Yiyang and others.

Therefore, Xu Ji simply did not continue to arrange roles for several people as before, but planned to let them find suitable roles by themselves.

Of course, it is mainly because there is no shortage of fame and traffic for Ji Yiyang and others.

And the acting skills are also much better than those of the same age, so there is no shortage of scripts as before.

After Ji Yiyang heard Xu Ji's words, his first reaction was actually a little lost.

There was even an idea that Xu Ji didn't care about them anymore.

But when I think about it, I think it's good.

Xu Ji also said that they can still audition for these dramas produced by the company.

And compared with the actors outside, as people from Tongji Entertainment, they are more likely to be able to get the role.

Pang Er and Yang Anran are also veterans of Tongji Entertainment.

I am definitely willing to choose actors from my own company.

"Alright, if you don't have anything to do, I'll get here today."

"You two take the script back and take a good look at it."

Xu Ji said.

After hesitating for a moment, he continued to add:

"Let's take one of you back."

"Let's see if there is a role I want to play, and when the time comes, just communicate directly with Brother Pang and Yang Anran."

With the development of Tongji Entertainment, it is now very different from the grass platform team that has just begun.

Xu Ji, the shopkeeper, is becoming more and more handy.

As long as the script is taken out, he doesn't need to care about the rest of the things.

If there is a question, Pang Er and the others will naturally ask him.

After several actors got the script copies of the two plays, they also went back satisfied.

......

"Wan Rongli, you stay a little!"

When everyone went out, Xu Ji spoke.

Wan Rongli, who was a little lost and planned to leave, was stunned for a moment, and then returned to his position just now and sat down.

After he joined Tongji Entertainment, he originally planned that Xu Ji would be able to give him a role that suited him.

Unexpectedly, this time Xu Ji directly asked everyone to audition by themselves.

Others may not be so.

But Wan Rongli is different, compared to Ji Yiyang and others, he, who joined Tongji Entertainment at the end, obviously has no advantages.

After all, it was the first time to meet Pang Er and Yang Anran, even today.

Coupled with the black material in his past, it is not only difficult for Tongji Entertainment to get any major roles here.

Some of the crews outside are even more difficult.

"You don't have to read the scripts of these two dramas first."

"You take this script back and read it first."

Xu Ji took out a folder again and handed it to the other party.

Wan Rongli was stunned for a moment.

"Director Xu, this is ......"

Xu Ji replied: "My first movie script. ”

After Wan Rongli heard Xu Ji's words, the whole person was so excited that he couldn't do it.

I didn't even know what to say for a while.

Finally, he stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Ji.

"Thank you, Director Xu!"

......

In fact, the choice of Wan Rong Li is also the result of careful consideration.

Compared with some other actors in the company, Wan Rongli is the only one who mixed in the film industry when he debuted.

Although it is not as good as Ji Yiyang and Ran Bai in appearance, in the words of the industry, it has a face suitable for the big screen.

And don't worry about the other party's acting skills.

Xu Ji has also seen some of the other party's previous works, and if this role is handed over to Wan Rongli, although there is a certain challenge, it should not be a big problem.

In addition to some black materials in the past in Vang Vieng, it may have some impact.

The plasticity of this actor is indeed quite strong.

And at the age of more than thirty, there are more suitable roles.

It has been tested before, and Wan Rongli can be regarded as a complete abstinence from alcohol now.

Since the contract has been signed, Xu Ji has always been suspicious of people and the idea of employing people without suspicion.

......

The broadcast of "Soldier Assault" continues.

And the two self-made dramas of Kiwi and Penguin Video have completely lost much popularity.

At first, the two platforms tried to fight back.

I found a lot of marketing accounts and large-scale publicity by the water army.

But I found that not only did it have no effect, but the audience on my side was constantly losing, and I threw myself into the arms of the special military drama "Soldier Assault".

Then the two sides also saw the situation clearly, and began to invest their publicity resources in the promotion of the drama "Soldier Assault" on their own platform.

Trying to grab the audience with the G station.

After all, the number of users of Penguin and Kiwi is there, but they have also grabbed back some of the traffic.

But station G, which has been fully promoted from the beginning, still has a big advantage, and now most of the viewers who choose to chase dramas online, it is estimated that seven out of ten are still chasing dramas at station G.

As for the plot of "Soldier Assault", it gradually began to go in a direction that the audience did not want to see.

Shi Jinshi's squad leader had no choice but to change jobs, and the Seventh Steel Company also faced dissolution and reorganization.

Xu Sanduo finally became the last person to stick to the Seventh Steel Company.

With such a plot trend, Xu Ji is naturally unavoidable.

For such a director and screenwriter with a "criminal record", although the audience also scolded this time, they had a feeling of getting used to it.

"Alas, the script written by Xu Ji is good at everything, but he likes to send knives, and when I saw Xu Sanduo crying and shouting 'not good', I was also sad."

"Trouble Xu Ji to be a person! I haven't come out of Jiangyang's difficulties yet, and now I have another squad leader. ”

"I can see it, this time Xu Ji is merciful, but he just transferred to leave the army, not ......"

"It's another group drama, although Xu Ji's habit of sending a knife is really hateful, I have to say that among the current domestic screenwriters, only Xu Ji can write supporting roles so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

......

The audience is used to it, and Xu Ji is even more calm.

After experiencing the violent sending of blades from the audience of Xianjian II before, the whole network scolded him for not being a person at the end of "The Silent Truth", but this time there was a feeling of a small fight.

Xu Ji was naturally the same as before, and he didn't plan to make any response.

In other words, Xu Ji didn't pay much attention to the impact of the plot of "Soldier Assault" at this time.

He had already taken the assistant arranged by You Man and ran to the port city.

When he heard that Xu Ji planned to go to Hong Kong City, You Man was surprised.

"Port City?"

"What are you doing there?"

"Could it be that you plan to set the filming of this movie in Port City?"

It's no wonder that You Man felt strange, after all, Xu Ji didn't actually know anyone in Hong Kong City.

In addition to some copyrights, the company's business does not involve that side.

"Please."

Xu Ji replied.

But such an answer still confused You Man.

......

"Mr. Xu, Sister You Man has already contacted the other party."

"Teacher Wei Yifa heard that it was you, and he was willing to meet with us."

As soon as he got off the plane, Xu Ji's assistant spoke.

In fact, Xu Ji didn't need assistants much in the past, so You Man adhered to the idea of terminating human resources.

There was no fixed assistant for Xu Ji.

When there is a need, they are randomly selected from a group of people in the company.

The assistant who came with Xu Ji this time was about the same age as Xu Ji.

is a college student who graduated from the same class as Xu Ji.

Whenever she thought that Xu Ji and herself were graduates of the same class, the female assistant felt a little incredible.

After all, Tongji Entertainment is now in the entertainment industry, although it is not as good as the three major ones, but it is definitely a well-known company.

But what the assistant didn't expect the most was that Xu Ji came to Hong Kong City this time, and he actually came for Wei Yifa.

The other party is really a proper international superstar.

is also the kind of superstar who has been popular for more than 30 years and is still exaggerated.

He also has a lot of fans abroad.

For example, she and Xu Ji's generation can really be regarded as growing up watching each other's movies.

Xu Ji is indeed quite famous now, and if he chooses some super first-line actors to cooperate, it is really not a difficult task.

But now they are looking for Wei Yifa, can they really succeed?

......

When the plane landed and arrived in Hong Kong City, Xu Ji was a little surprised, there were really many people here who knew him.

On the way out of the airport, I met a lot of fans who wanted to sign autographs and take photos.

And some people opened their mouths to ask Xu Ji about Sha Yetong.

It can be seen that Sha Yetong's popularity is also not low.

But it's understandable.

After all, it's not what it used to be.

In the past, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong City developed better.

The mainland is simply not comparable.

Many celebrities in Hong Kong City are also household names in the mainland, but they are stars in the mainland, and not many people know each other when they come to Hong Kong City.

Now it's different, Hong Kong films are in decline, and thought-provoking songs haven't appeared in that kind of phenomenal hit single for a long time.

Now on the contrary, people from Hong Kong City are gradually beginning to pay attention to mainland stars.

Especially the two fairy swords before Xu Ji, they are very popular dramas for all young people in Hong Kong City.

In the Internet era, the speed of all information circulation is unusually fast.

Many stalks in the mainland are also very common among young people here in Hong Kong City.

Including the passers-by just now, there were also people who were full of excitement and asked when Xu Ji and Sha Yetong would be officially announced.

is obviously a fanatical Tongji cp fan.

......

"May I ask if it's Mr. Xu Ji?"

Xu Ji and his assistant had just left the airport, but they didn't expect someone to be waiting here early.

The other party is someone from Wei Yifa's company.

Obviously, although Xu Ji took the initiative to contact him, the other party also seemed to attach great importance to it.

Xu Ji nodded, admitted his identity, and then got into the car.

It was the first time for the assistant to come to Hong Kong City, and he looked curiously at the street scene outside the window along the way.

seems to want to see if it is the same as the Hong Kong films and Hong Kong dramas I watched when I was a child.

Of course, there is definitely a change.

After all, the Hong Kong city in the Hong Kong film that Xu Ji and others watched was decades ago.

But the overall change is not as big as expected.

Some of the more characteristic buildings have not changed.

Soon, the car came to the door of a building with more than 20 floors and stopped.

The driver got out of the car and opened the door for Xu Ji and the two.
