Chapter 228: An appointment with a super-first-line director
At the end of March and the beginning of April, the official Weite of Tongji Entertainment, which has never broken out any major events, suddenly issued a poster.
Although it is only a silhouette, it is difficult to see the faces of the characters.
And the caption: "Stay tuned! ”
Such an operation immediately aroused speculation among many netizens.
"Tongtong's new album is coming?"
"What riddler?"
"Is it Xu Ji's new drama?"
.......
There is a clear difference between Tongji Entertainment's official micro and other companies.
That is, the number of people who pay attention is significantly higher.
If it is the micro of some other companies, even if the popularity of its star artists is high, not many people pay attention to it.
The attention is basically on the micro characteristics of their idols.
However, Tongji Entertainment is a special existence.
That is, the company includes the two bosses Xu Ji and Sha Yetong, although many other artists have a lot of fans, but these people have a common situation, that is, they are not active in business.
The artists who are fans of their own fans have not posted a single micro-special for ten days and half a month, and the attention of fans can only be placed on the official micro-special that sends some news about their artists from time to time.
Tongji Entertainment's official micro is operated by the company's people.
And this female operator is actually a fan of Sha Yetong, and she also likes Ji Yiyang and others of Tongji Entertainment.
Coupled with Youman's delegation of power to it, although it is an official micro-special, compared with some other companies, the official account of Tongji Entertainment is more humane.
Every time the micro special is also sent out more carefully.
Of course, the most important thing is that the poster that came out of nowhere this time does look mysterious.
So it's just a poster that can't see people clearly, but it is directly on the hot search.
.......
Tongji Entertainment didn't want to deliberately keep hanging the appetite of netizens.
On the second day, the full poster was released.
And the person on the poster is Sha Yetong, the only female singer of Tongji Entertainment and one of the bosses.
At this time, netizens knew that Sha Yetong's solo concert was coming!
Suddenly, the news that Sha Yetong was about to hold a concert spread all over the Internet.
Sha Yetong's own influence is one thing, and the other is because Sha Yetong is one of the few first-line female singers who have not held a solo performance.
And as the official No. 1 existence among first-line female singers, the fact that there is no concert is an obsession of many fans.
This time, I feel like I've finally waited for today.
"It's finally time for a concert! I hope to come to Shanghai, and I feel excited to be able to listen to the music live! ”
"I don't know what everyone is excited about, isn't it just a concert, and I can't get tickets anyway. [Dog's Head]"
"Actually, Tongtong participated in a lot of music festivals and performances last year, but most of them only had one or two songs on the stage, which was too short! This concert must be heard enough. ”
"Sha Yetong became popular too fast, and opening a solo concert two years after his debut is actually a very good result, but on a top-notch first-line singer, it has a feeling that fans have been waiting for a long time."
......
Rongcheng, Sha Yetong has actually participated in the preparation of this concert for a long time.
Basically, I put a lot of energy into the concert.
For this reason, I even went out to some performances less often.
For this solo concert, Sha Yetong also asked Xu Ji for a few new songs of good quality, which can be regarded as some benefits for fans.
It's a pity that Xiao Xuzi is going to work, and the other party may not be able to come to his concert this time.
Sha Yetong thought with some regret in his heart.
Xu Ji has been flying around for the past few days, and in the past week, Sha Yetong has only met Xu Ji once.
"Wushuang" is about to start filming at this time, so Xu Ji is getting busier and busier.
......
When the news of Sha Yetong's concert came out, the whole network went from the cities where the concert might go to the city to whether or not you could grab tickets.
Netizens on the Internet have been arguing for a long time.
At the same time, on Friday of this week, "Soldier Assault", which has been on the air for nearly a month, also ushered in the finale.
In addition to the plot being discussed on the whole network, this drama is also very luxurious in various data.
In terms of the ratings of the official station, it is the highest-rated drama in the past five years, and even surpasses the popular dramas of many local stations.
And the drama that has not been broadcast on the official station for a long time can get such luxurious ratings.
Although the ratings of Xu Ji's "Mountains and Seas" last time were also good, it was not as good as this "Soldier Assault".
This drama has truly become a phenomenal hit drama.
The ratings are basically stable at more than 3%, and even exceeded 5% in the finale.
You must know that with the advent of the Internet era, there are very few TV dramas that can reach more than 5% of the ratings.
And the total number of broadcasts of this drama on station G and the three major websites has exceeded 4 billion, which cannot be said to be unique, but it is also very rare.
The most critical reason for achieving such results is because although the theme of this drama is a military drama, the plot is suitable for all ages.
A large part of the ratings is contributed by some middle-aged and elderly people.
In terms of word-of-mouth, "Soldier Assault" stopped at 9.3 points after the finale of the rating on Petal.com.
It has achieved the achievement of applause and applause.
In the capital, Duan Shengyu can be said to have raised his eyebrows this time.
The director of the official TV station has been thanked several times because of the drama "Soldier Assault".
Duan Shengyu was also very glad of his decision, after reading the script, if he hadn't taken the initiative, it was estimated that the name of the producer of this drama would only be the military region of the capital.
The Television and Radio Bureau participated in half of the investment this time, and the benefits brought to it were huge.
Although the Television and Radio Bureau doesn't particularly care about making money or anything, being able to produce such a drama has also added another political achievement to Duan Shengyu, an old man who is about to retire.
"Elder Duan, the deputy director of the official TV station asked me yesterday and asked if we have any projects to cooperate with Xu Ji in the future."
Hearing the words of the second-in-command of the Television and Radio Bureau, Duan Shengyu couldn't help laughing.
"They've got a taste of the sweetness!"
The man standing in front of Duan Shengyu also nodded in agreement.
"Who's to say it isn't?"
"A drama like "Soldier Assault" with a rating of more than 5 has not appeared on the official station for many years."
Duan Shengyu shook his head.
"It's not something we can decide."
"Xu Ji has his own company, so it is impossible to take on official projects all the time."
In fact, he still feels that he owes Xu Ji a favor this time.
How profitable Xu Ji is making a drama now, Duan Shengyu naturally can't know it.
But if you take on an official project, except for some low directing and screenwriting fees, there is no other income.
If "Soldier Assault" was filmed by Xu Ji's company, it is estimated that the copyright fee would be close to ten times his director's salary this time.
At the beginning, Duan Shengyu took the initiative to invite Xu Ji to help, and he really owed the other party a favor.
Of course, Xu Ji has also accumulated a good relationship because of his two cooperation with the official.
From the Television and Radio Bureau to some official actors, and then to the official TV station, they all have a good impression of Xu Ji.
This can also bring a lot of convenience to Xu Ji.
For example, "The Silent Truth" can pass the trial so quickly, in fact, it is also related to the drama of Tongji Entertainment.
In the future, if needed, Duan Shengyu will still invite Xu Ji.
Such a good talent is naturally used if it can be used.
But since it has been used, the special treatment that should be given must also be given.
At least the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in the entertainment industry, if they want to move Xu Ji, Duan Shengyu, the leader of the Television and Radio Bureau, will not agree.
......
In the capital, although Xu Ji has been here many times, he actually has no chance to visit every time.
Most of the time, I came here because of work.
This time it was actually similar, but it was invited by Chen Kang to come.
Originally, Xu Ji didn't think about it, after all, the movie "Wushuang" was about to start filming, and Xu Ji didn't have much free time.
But when Chen Kang contacted him, he happened to take the crew to shoot in the nearby Beicheng, and at the same time as coming to the capital to catch a plane, he met the other party by the way.
Last time, Xu Ji went to Chen Kang's house, but he remembered the road, so he drove there by himself.
Speaking of which, with the broadcast of "Soldier Assault", Chen Kang has also gained a lot of fans because he played the role of Shi Jinshi's squad leader.
The popularity has increased a lot.
I was recognized when I was walking on the road, but I couldn't really name it for a while.
But now, many people call him squad leader directly.
Not only Shi Jin, but many other official actors in "Soldier Assault" have also become popular because of this drama.
Of course, it's more about the character fire, and many viewers still don't know the actors' real names.
"Brother Chen!"
When Chen Kang saw Xu Ji, he was naturally very happy.
From the original "Mountains and Seas" to the later "Soldier Assault", Chen Kang's views on Xu Ji, a young director, have changed again and again.
also paid more and more attention to Xu Ji.
Especially when he heard that Xu Ji was going to make a movie this time, he was very moved, but he was not embarrassed to call Xu Ji.
"Come in, come in!"
When Xu Ji came, it was almost time for lunch, he didn't expect Xu Ji to come, and the lunch was the usual home-cooked food.
Hearing that Chen Kang was about to go out to buy vegetables or something, Xu Ji hurriedly stopped the other party.
After taking a pair of bowls for Xu Ji, and cooking two more dishes himself, Chen Kangzai sat down.
"Brother Chen, do you have anything to do with me this time?"
Xu Ji asked.
Chen Kang replied with a smile:
"Why, I can't look for you if it's okay?"
"Besides, you've been to Beicheng, and you don't even plan to come to sit here?"
Hearing Chen Kang's words, Xu Ji was a little embarrassed, so he could only answer truthfully:
"Actually, I won't stay long in Beicheng, I think I won't bother you......"
Chen Kang didn't listen to Xu Ji's explanation, and poured wine for Xu Ji by himself.
Of course, he also knew that Xu Ji couldn't drink enough, so he just planned to mean something.
"By the way, you really went to make a movie?"
After eating for a while, Chen Kang asked.
Xu Ji nodded.
"I want to try it."
Chen Kang had no doubts about Xu Ji's ability.
Even if it is a movie, the script written by Xu Ji will not be bad.
"Are the roles all set?"
"Shall I read the script for you?"
As soon as Chen Kang spoke, Xu Ji actually knew what the other party was planning.
replied apologetically: "Brother Chen, I was just about to talk to you." ”
"There's a character in my film this time that I want you to make a cameo."
"It's just that there aren't many dramas, I don't know if you can help with this."
Chen Kang was actually a little surprised when he heard Xu Ji's words.
He didn't have much hope.
After all, Xu Ji is already looking for a filming location, and the role should have been finalized.
I didn't expect Xu Ji to really leave a role for himself.
Although there were not many scenes, Chen Kang naturally happily agreed.
In fact, in addition to the two male protagonists and the female protagonist in the drama "Wushuang", some of the other characters are actually not too many.
So Xu Ji thought of finding some actors he had worked with to make cameos, which was a good way.
Chen Kang obviously met Xu Ji's conditions.
Although in terms of the other party's acting skills, this kind of simple role with few scenes is a bit overkill.
But it can also be regarded as adding some exposure to Chen Kang and some other official actors.
Xu Ji knows that many official actors, although their acting skills are excellent, they don't have much filming.
Not even many famous.
For example, Chen Kang, although he is the president of the official actor association, before the broadcast of "Soldier Assault", his popularity is similar to that of some second-tier actors with lower rankings in the official actor list.
It is also by relying on "Soldier Assault" that it can be regarded as entering the first-line list, but the ranking is still relatively low.
"You say that, how can I not go!"
"Don't say that there are few scenes, it's just a role without lines, it's not impossible."
Chen Kang said with a laugh.
After learning about Xu Ji's plan to make a movie again, Chen Kang suddenly remembered the matter of contacting Xu Ji this time.
"By the way, it's not me looking for you this time."
"Someone asked me to see if I could meet you."
Hearing Chen Kang's words, Xu Ji was stunned for a moment.
"Someone asked me to meet?"
"Who?"
Chen Kang didn't intend to hide it, and replied truthfully:
"Song Ideal Song Dao."
"He called me the other day and asked if I had your contact information."
"Then I asked him what he was looking for from you, and he didn't say anything, he just said that he wanted to meet you."
"So I agreed to help him ask if you had time."
Xu Ji: "Director Song? ”
Song Ideal's name, Xu Ji, will naturally not be unfamiliar.
The other party is definitely a big name.
has filmed many classic dramas, and won two of the three major film and television drama awards.
In the official list, there are one of the few people who have entered the super-first-line director by making film and television dramas.
However, Xu Ji also heard that Song Ideal was an official director at the beginning, but later left the official system and established his own company.
It's just that the company doesn't seem to be big, and there are no film and television dramas with good results.
On the contrary, some of the dramas he received as a director have produced a lot of hits.
It's just that the other party doesn't know him at all, and he doesn't have anything to do with it, so I don't know what to do with myself this time.
