Chapter 230: Phoenix Entertainment Is About to Cease to Exist?
Song Ideal came to Xu Ji this time, and put himself in a very low position, which was actually a helpless move.
He is indeed different from when he was younger.
Now, he has more and more things to consider.
I can't put all my energy on one work as before.
And the reason why I looked for Xu Ji this time is actually for my company to survive.
Although all the debts he once owed were paid, his company was like a bottomless pit and was losing money all the time.
It doesn't seem to last long before it goes out of business.
He doesn't know why, the dramas he invested in are worse than the other.
But if it is a drama produced by another company, it can unexpectedly become popular.
This time, in order for his company to survive, he could only start the idea of the rookie director Xu Ji.
The explosion of "Soldier Assault" gave him hope.
If you can get Xu Ji's script, it is best to be a military drama, relying on the popularity of "Soldier Assault" and Xu Ji's own script, the drama filmed by following the trend does not worry about the problem of returning to the cost at all.
He originally thought that Xu Ji probably wanted to agree that it would not be so simple.
But I didn't expect things to go in a direction I didn't expect at all.
......
"Director Xu, do you mean that you plan to invest with our company?"
Seeing Xu Ji nodded, Song Ideal fell into deep thought.
According to Xu Ji's statement just now, as a director and he as a screenwriter, the copyright share of the two is the same.
If it were a different person, Song Ideal would definitely have to open his mouth to mock the other party.
But the person who said such a thing was Xu Ji, and Song Ideal was also hesitating, Xu Ji's script was really hard to say that it was worth the same price as his director's salary.
And judging from Xu Ji's active choice to join the investment, the other party must have considerable confidence in this drama.
"There's one more request."
"When it comes to the casting of this drama, I hope Director Song can listen to me."
Xu Ji's next words almost made Song Ideal couldn't help but lose his temper.
The previous ones were okay, and Song Ideal was not unacceptable.
But as a director, he can't even decide on the most important thing like casting, which he can't accept.
Song Li couldn't help but not have a seizure, but asked:
"Director Xu, although it is a script written by you, the director still has to make a decision on such a thing as casting, right?"
Xu Ji's attitude towards Song Ideal is actually understandable.
After all, no director will accept that his casting rights have been snatched away.
But Xu Ji didn't panic at all, but said:
"I want to use the original cast of Soldier Assault."
After Xu Ji's words were finished, Song Ideal was stunned for a moment.
However, Chen Kang, who had not participated in the speech on the side, was a little excited.
Do you have another drama to play?
"The original cast?"
Seeing the other party's puzzled expression, Xu Ji opened his mouth to explain: "This drama will be a war-themed drama, but it was actually in my shooting plan. ”
"It is a brother drama of "Soldier Assault", so the character prototypes are also based on the actors."
After Xu Ji's words were finished, Song Ideal immediately lost his opinion.
How good it would have been if you had said that earlier!
How popular "Soldier Assault" is, Song Ideal naturally knows.
It can be seen from Xu Ji's words that the quality of this drama is not under "Soldier Assault".
Obviously, it is a drama that Xu Ji originally planned to shoot, but was shelved because of the movie.
"Is there a script?"
However, Chen Kang couldn't wait to ask.
"On the computer in my car, I can send it out when I go back."
Xu Ji didn't lie about what he said just now, since "Soldier Assault" has been filmed.
And the actors are all ready-made, so you don't need to worry about it.
That drama was naturally put on the agenda early.
The script Xu Ji was also written before.
Song Li no longer hesitated at this time.
He had always believed in his first feelings.
Although this has caused him to suffer a lot of losses, he still has the same style of acting for so many years.
From his debut to the present, Xu Ji has proven that the other party is a genius.
And Song Li has no other plans now.
Thirty million is his company's last money, and it is also his own last money.
can get Xu Ji's investment, and he is also happy to accept it.
"Happy cooperation, Director Xu."
Song Ideal smiled and Xu Ji stretched out their right hand.
......
That night, Song Ideal and Chen Kang both received the script sent by Xu Ji.
And the two are very similar, because this story called "My Captain, My Group" has not slept all night.
Song Ideal was even more glad that Dangsi chose to agree to Xu Ji.
Such a drama may not only save his company.
can also let him win the grand slam of the best director of the three major film and television dramas.
......
As for Xu Ji, he didn't really care about this matter, and after sending the script over, he had no time to pay attention to it anymore.
His main energy now is still on the filming of "Wushuang".
After this period of preparation, "Wushuang" is finally about to officially start filming.
And the international actor Wei Yifa also came to the mainland from Hong Kong City and joined the crew of "Wushuang".
On Weite, the news of Xu Ji's movie suddenly appeared on the hot search.
Although this matter is no secret in the entertainment industry, basically everyone knows about it.
But the news about this revelation appeared in front of ordinary netizens for the first time.
Immediately made many fans excited.
That's right, although Xu Ji is scolded every day, there are many people who really want to send blades to Xu Ji.
But after watching Xu Ji's dramas one after another, everyone finally found that it was still Xu Ji's dramas that left an impression on themselves.
In addition, in "Soldier Assault", Xu Ji actually did not send the knife so ruthlessly.
Now Xu Ji's reputation is much better than it was at the beginning.
Some netizens dare to admit that they are fans of Xu Ji.
"Xu Ji actually made a movie! I'm looking forward to it."
"I'll just say that a genius director like Xu Ji can't only make film and television dramas all the time."
"No, why do I feel like I'm going to roll over? Film and television drama directors run to make movies, and there are few who succeed in changing careers! ”
"Yes, I think it's better to concentrate on filming Xianjian San, you see that the fans have been shouting for so long, Xu Ji really didn't hear it!"
......
Netizens had a heated discussion about Xu Ji's filming.
The number of people who are optimistic and those who are not optimistic is considered to be five or five, and there are still many people who say that as long as Xu Ji's first movie is released, they will definitely go to the theater to support it.
Of course, this matter is not completely over, the next day, with a few photos broken out by an entertainment media, Xu Ji directly climbed to the first position in the hot search,
Judging from the angle and quality of the photo, it is not difficult to see that it was taken secretly.
But the person in the photo was recognized by netizens at a glance.
turned out to be an international actor, everyone's childhood idol Wei Yifa.
In addition, the artist is naturally the rookie director Xu Ji, who has debuted for two years.
So Xu Ji's first movie actually found Wei Yifa to join, and the matter was exposed.
Wei Yifa, an evergreen tree who has been popular for decades, and Xu Ji, a newcomer who has only debuted for two years, naturally cannot be low in popularity.
Even many people in the entertainment industry were obviously a little surprised when they saw the hot search.
Although they knew that Xu Ji was going to make his first movie, they originally thought that the male protagonist this time would be Ji Yiyang or Ran Bai, two people from Tongji Entertainment.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ji quietly invited Wei Yifa.
For a while, many people who were not optimistic about Xu Ji making movies were shaken.
After all, Wei Yifa and Xu Ji are there, and such a box office appeal is there. It can be said that it is half the battle.
Xu Ji was a little surprised when he saw the hot search.
Wei Yifa looked used to it, and even felt that Xu Ji directed and acted in this matter, just to warm up the movie in advance before filming.
This is not uncommon.
Only Xu Ji knew that the crew was secretly filmed by the paparazzi.
But it's understandable that he's not the same as he used to be.
Being stalked by dogs or something, it is estimated that it will become more and more common in the future.
However, when it comes to the confidentiality of the film and the filming location of the crew, Xu Ji still asked the relevant person in charge to strictly check the people who enter and exit.
Especially these so-called paparazzi journalists.
If some photos are taken during shooting, it will definitely not be a good thing for a suspense drama like "Wushuang".
Fortunately, in the following time, those paparazzi didn't seem to plan to continue to shoot officially with the movie, and quietly disappeared.
......
The time has entered May, and Xu Ji's "Wushuang" has been officially filmed for two weeks.
The process is exceptionally smooth, Wei Yifa naturally needless to say, the other party's decades of acting experience, plus he has won a bunch of awards, there is almost no need for Xu Ji, the director, to worry too much about his acting skills.
As for the other role, Wan Rongli, did not live up to the opportunity given by Xu Ji, and his performance was exceptionally good, and he was not pressed by the other party once when he played against Wei Yifa, an international actor.
Even Wei Yifa praised this little-known actor several times.
Of course, Xu Ji didn't like to pay attention to outside news when filming, so he didn't know that a major event had happened in the entertainment industry at this time.
The scope of this incident even made the entire entertainment industry feel uneasy.
Li Xingyao, the founder and current chairman of Phoenix Entertainment, has passed away.
On April 29, at the First Hospital in Beijing, Li Xingyao died in the middle of the night at the age of 81 after battling lung cancer for nearly a year.
There are too many people who pay attention to Li Xingyao, and the news that he is admitted to the hospital has also come out early.
Although the back was broken by the person who appeared in the company.
But many people still know that Li Xingyao is just the end of a strong crossbow.
It is rumored that after Li Xingyao's two sons saw their father for the last time in the capital, they rushed to the company headquarters of Phoenix Entertainment one after another, and the future heirs of Phoenix Entertainment became a mystery.
Which of the two sons of the Li family can become the heir of Phoenix Entertainment in the future has become a matter of concern to countless people in the entertainment industry.
Phoenix Entertainment's industry covers a wide range, and its business dealings are all over the entertainment industry.
If something happens to Phoenix Entertainment, then it can be said that it can affect half of the entertainment industry.
The resources that were originally in the hands of the other party will definitely be redistributed because of the change of power.
In addition, the three major companies of smallpox and Tianwu are unlikely to miss such a good opportunity, and they will definitely make moves.
......
"I really didn't expect this person to leave like this all of a sudden."
Ji Yeming was full of emotion at this time.
He and Li Xingyao have been rivals for most of their lives, and they have not bargained for anything from each other, and the two have never been friends, and they have not even met many times.
But at this time, when I heard the news of the other party's death, I still felt a little emotional.
"Is the time of the funeral decided?"
Ji Yeming asked.
And Liu Sanlang on the side had a hesitant expression.
Then he said: "Ji Dong, why don't we go to the funeral?" ”
"Now Phoenix Entertainment has become a mess, if you go, there may be unnecessary misunderstandings."
When Ji Yeming heard this, he thought for a moment and nodded.
Although I didn't have any other ideas, I just wanted to send myself, an old man who had been an opponent for half his life, on his last ride.
But his identity is too sensitive, and it is indeed not suitable to appear at Li Xingyao's funeral.
"But you say, he is really, he has been calculating all his life, why didn't he see the situation clearly at the end?"
Liu Sanlang was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what this meant, and asked tentatively:
"Mr. Ji, what do you mean?"
Ji Yeming: "His will." ”
"You can clearly determine your heir, why did you divide the shares equally."
"Although this is indeed fair to the two juniors of the Li family, but in this way, Phoenix Entertainment has also lost the last chance to stabilize the morale of the army!"
Liu Sanlang knew that Ji Yeming's words were right.
The biggest reason why everyone is panicking at Phoenix Entertainment now is that everyone knows that Li Xingyao's two sons are estimated to be competing for the ownership of the company.
If you firmly give all the shares to one of them, maybe the other person will be very dissatisfied, but it will not make much waves.
But separating the shares is completely plunging Phoenix Entertainment into the turmoil of the struggle for power.
And those high-level executives of Phoenix Entertainment are definitely not a few people who have hidden evil intentions.
According to the current situation, Phoenix Entertainment, one of the three majors, may really collapse or even cease to exist in the future.
......
Similar to Ji Yeming's guess, although Phoenix Entertainment is still operating normally, in fact, the whole company has become turbulent.
As a gold medal agent, Zheng Yuzhen is in no mood to care about his only artist, Yu Feifei, during this time.
After this accident in Phoenix Entertainment, not to mention Yu Feifei, even whether she can stay is a problem.
"Sister Zheng, there won't be a problem with the company, right?"
"Who do you think will get the management in the end?"
Yu Feifei is in a good mood.
Since she appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, although she has not completely taken off, her career is also thriving.
Now Yu Feifei does not pursue staying under the big tree of Phoenix Entertainment, with her popularity, there are people who rush to go to some small companies.
But Yu Feifei still wanted to continue to follow Zheng Yuzhen in his heart.
Zheng Yuzhen shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
Although she is a veteran-level agent of the company, in fact, the level involved this time is too high.
Not to mention him, even some high-level officials can't see the situation clearly.
"The chairman's two sons are said to have been arguing for two days."
"Alas, Mr. Li has just left, why did he ......"
Zheng Yuzhen still has a sense of identity with Li Xingyao, the chairman, and at this time, seeing the other party's two sons become like this, it is inevitable that she will be very emotional for a while.
