Chapter 271: The company has begun to rob people

In fact, Zhu Min was still a little hesitant, although he was quite convinced of Xu Ji's screenwriting ability.

I also believe that Xu Ji will not randomly take out the script of a martial arts drama to him.

The quality is definitely quite excellent.

But the audience of martial arts dramas themselves is still a little too narrow.

Zhu Min actually has a pursuit of the movie itself, but he also values Xu Ji's help to him more.

If it weren't for Xu Ji, he might not be able to find out which crew he was doing chores in now.

So for the sake of Tongji entertainment, he actually does not exclude filming some dramas that he is not very interested in.

But if this drama is filmed, he won't even make money, and even lose money, he will probably feel very guilty.

Zhu Min planned to wait until he finished reading the script, and then went to Xu Ji to talk about it.

It is best to be able to persuade the other party tactfully.

The directors present were actually quite happy at this time.

Although some people have not been able to get the opportunity to be the main director alone, according to the current development speed of Tongji Entertainment, there is still a great opportunity in the future.

And this time Xu Ji didn't just call them to make soy sauce.

Like Zhu Min, Qi Wen and others, they all got their own partners.

Coupled with the next movie directed by Xu Ji himself, five crews need to be formed at one time this time, and these people in the conference room are equivalent to the most important creative personnel.

The only one with a somewhat unpleasant face is actually You Man.

Before Xu Ji's meeting, she actually had a premonition.

The other party will definitely make a big move.

But I still didn't expect Xu Ji to be so bold and set up so many projects at one time.

She just estimated that according to Xu Ji's unwillingness to pay attention to and keep improving, the investment in these projects will not be too low.

Originally, because "Wushuang" was a big hit at the box office, and the copyrights of "Chess Soul" and "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" also sold at a very good price.

Now Tongji Entertainment has sufficient cash flow, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rich.

But Xu Ji plans to really dig out Tongji Entertainment's family foundation at one time this time!

......

"Now don't say it's a company building, I guess I'll have to take out a loan."

You Man deliberately lowered his voice, and at the same time, a voice with a little resentment came.

Xu Ji was indeed a little embarrassed when he heard it.

Previously, he had also suggested repairing the company's building.

Fortunately, You Man stopped him at that time, otherwise this time so many projects were carried out at the same time, and the money needed was also a large sum.

Xu Ji didn't care about the accounts, in fact, he just felt that what he earned before should be enough for the budget this time.

The specific company accounts are best known only to Youman.

"Don't worry, after all these projects make money this time, there will be money to repair the building."

Xu Ji found a reason for himself and replied.

You Man did not comment on this.

Although she is the general manager of the company, it seems that she is in charge of everything.

But really speaking, Xu Ji is the one who decides the major things of Tongji Entertainment.

She didn't think about persuasion, because it was estimated that Xu Ji would not listen to it.

And You Man now trusts Xu Ji more.

She just invested too many projects at one time, which made the company's funds a little overwhelmed, but she didn't worry much about the return on investment.

......

"By the way, in addition to studying the script, there is another very important thing, that is, everyone needs to discuss the matter of finding actors."

"I don't interfere in the selection of actors, but after the actors are selected, I hope to fit the roles in it."

"Feel free to ask me any questions or concerns about this, including reading more of the casting advice I wrote at the end of the script."

......

After sending the script, Xu Ji spoke again.

If it is still like before, one or two dramas, Xu Ji still has the time to help finalize the actors.

But now there are too many projects to be approved at one time, and he definitely doesn't have the audition and energy to help one by one.

It's better to put the casting thing down and trust the actors of each director.

At most, I will give advice on what kind of actor is suitable for each role.

is also based on the characteristics of the actors in the original drama in the previous life in memory.

However, with the script as the foundation, although Xu Ji's energy is limited, it will not be ruined.

When Xu Ji announced the end of the meeting, several directors on the scene couldn't wait to leave.

Just now, I just glanced at the script given by Xu Ji twice, and at this time, my mind was also on the script in my hand, so I naturally didn't want to waste the slightest time.

Even Pang Er and Yang Anran, two old men who already had experience, couldn't help it early.

If you didn't want to know if Xu Ji had anything to ask in the future, he might have gone back to study the script early.

......

The news of Tongji Entertainment's big move soon spread within the company.

There's no way around it.

After all, five directors, five crews, there are too many people needed.

And those old people in the company are all valuable resources, regardless of whether they have read the script or not, anyway, they will grab people first.

This time, it is obvious that the company's reserve personnel are not enough, from photography to the most basic field work, etc., it is estimated that a lot of people will have to be recruited from outside.

And the level of people recruited outside is high and low, and some strange tempers are still troublesome to cooperate, or those acquaintances who are Tongji Entertainment are the best choice.

This time, Xu Ji didn't deliberately interfere with anything, and it was all up to the directors of a few crews to fool him.

He himself also selected some people to join his crew in advance, but it was quite restrained.

Otherwise, as soon as he opened his mouth, the company's most capable people would all join his crew, and the others would stop playing.

In addition to the company's more than 1,000 crew members in various positions, soon Tongji Entertainment's contracted actors became sweets.

Ji Yiyang complained in the group the day before that he planned to act, but he didn't see any good scripts.

As a result, I received an audition invitation from the company's crew the next day.

Ji Yiyang's acting skills have indeed improved significantly during this time, especially in the crew of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "Chess Soul", they all feel it deeply.

Among them are Qi Wen and Zhu Min, two directors who have just gotten the new script.

After carefully reading the script, the two of them first determined the role suitable for Ji Yiyang.

Guo Jing, the protagonist in "The Legend of the Shooting Heroes", and Jiang Weidong, the second son of Jiang Defu, the protagonist in "Parents' Love".

"Parents' Love" is okay, the protagonist Jiang Defu is actually not too suitable for the other party, and Jiang Weidong's role is not too much.

But the role of Guo Jing is basically determined to be a proper protagonist, and it is basically determined that it will be filmed from beginning to end.

What's more, soon Yang Anran also sent an invitation, and Hu Bayi, the male number one in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", is also a proper male lead.

On the other hand, Pang Er also handed over the script of "Rise to Fame" to him.

The troubles of happiness, Ji Yiyang didn't expect that there was no suitable script at the beginning.

Now I can't choose it.

And the subject matter is so rich.

From suspense, martial arts, and even realistic themes.

That drama called "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" should be a horror theme?

Ji Yiyang felt that he should be able to choose all four scripts after reading them.

But after spending two days and reading all four scripts, he became even more entangled.

He liked it all too much.

"The Legend of the Shooting Heroes" is definitely the most wonderful martial arts story he has seen so far.

The role of Guo Jing is what he wants to play, and the protagonist of this honest character is a breakthrough for him.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is also very exciting, before he watched it, he didn't expect it to be a drama about tomb robbery.

The variety of unheard of fantasy adventures inside is fascinating.

Although "Parents' Love" is a main drama, Director Xu's screenwriting level is still online, although it is a supporting role, Ji Yiyang also wants to participate in this drama.

On the contrary, it is Pon's "Rise to Fame" that has the least appeal.

Although the story is very exciting, the sense of suspense is also full, and there are reversals, even the story inside is very moving.

And this is still a movie, he actually had the idea of wanting to enter the film industry a long time ago.

Xu Ji's "Wushuang" didn't look for him before, and Ji Yiyang felt a little disappointed.

Now that he has a good opportunity to officially enter the big screen, Ji Yiyang also knows that this is not easy to come by.

You must know that Wan Rongli, who had a poor reputation at the beginning, received a good review after the release of "Wushuang", and directly returned to the ranks of first-line actors again.

At the same time, the big screen is also the best way to exercise acting skills.

While Ji Yiyang was entangled, he actually didn't expect that he was not the only actor invited by these crews.

He subconsciously ignored the audition invitation.

When he was still struggling, Ran Bai, another actor of Tongji Entertainment, took the first step.

directly found Yang Anran, and then got the role of Hu Bayi.

Ran Bai is not like Ji Yiyang, he wants to act in everything.

After he has set his goal, he will know how to give up some other opportunities.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" really appealed to him.

He liked this story very much, and after reading the script of "Exquisite Ancient City", he didn't read the scripts given by other directors directly.

Needless to say, Ran Bai's acting skills have always been slightly better than Ji Yiyang's.

The past audition experience is even more abundant, although I only read the script once, but Yang Anran is still very satisfied, and I no longer think about fighting for Ji Yiyang.

The last time he grabbed Ji Yiyang's time with Pang Er, he had a shadow.

After confirming that Ran Bai would play Hu Bayi, he soon thought of letting Zhu Zinan play the role of Shirley Yang.

In addition to the temperament of the actor is also more suitable, the reunion of Xu Changqing and Zixuan is also a highlight.

After Ran Bai heard that Yang Anran planned to invite Zhu Zinan to play Shirley Yang, his expression was a little embarrassed.

During this time, his relationship with Zhu Zinan became a little strange.

The reason is because Ran Bai took a cameo in a play some time ago, and then got acquainted with the female lead in it, a second-tier actress.

The other party seemed very enthusiastic, even if his role was over, the actress still sent him messages every day after returning to Rongcheng.

even ran to Rongcheng to find him after the whole play.

This incident troubled Ran Bai very much, and he naturally saw that the other party had a good impression of him.

But he doesn't have much feeling for others, but Ran Bai is not the kind of character who will take the initiative to reject others.

Who knew that Zhu Zinan knew about this matter, originally Ran Bai just didn't think there was anything, who knew that Zhu Zinan suddenly got angry and ignored him.

This made Ran Bai a little confused.

The small brokerage company that he and Zhu Zinan entered together.

At that time, the two were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and by now, they have known each other for more than ten years.

Ran Bai doesn't look old, but he is actually ten years older than Ji Yiyang.

He and Zhu Zinan have always been best friends before.

Ran Bai also cherishes it very much, after all, it is not easy to have such a friend in a place like the entertainment industry.

But I never thought about how I felt about Zhu Zinan.

After all, both of them were bent on getting ahead before, and they didn't have time to think about it.

It wasn't until I entered Tongji Entertainment that it was different.

From the original filming of "Mountains and Seas" to the later "The Legend of Sword and Fairy II", the relationship between the two is the kind of ending without a problem.

And the rivalry between these two dramas obviously made some changes in the relationship between Ran Bai and Zhu Zinan that were not easy to find.

Unexpectedly, this time in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", the two will play each other together again.

Although Ran Bai is very talented in acting, he is emotionally sluggish and tight, and Yang Anran, who has known each other since and is a friend, is also a little helpless.

It can only be said that the bystanders are clear, and Zhu Zinan is very interested in the idol of Sha Yetong, and basically mixes with Ran Baiwei the rest of the time.

Ran Bai didn't notice anything at all.

He stupidly ran to others and said that someone was chasing him.

......

Ji Yiyang didn't expect that during the time he was entangled, the role of Hu Bayi would be gone.

It was only at this time that he finally realized that it was not only he who could see the excellence of these scripts.

He didn't hesitate, and soon took over the role of Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Shooting Heroes".

At the same time, She Yue, as an old partner, also became Huang Rong's actor.

It's no wonder that these directors of Tongji Entertainment consider the first thing in the company when choosing actors.

Because everyone has stayed in the crew of Xu Ji or Pang Er and Yang Anran, they naturally know very well what the acting skills of the company's actors are.

And they all know each other, and it comes naturally to cooperate.

And these actors are basically first-line actors, and they also have great blessings in fame, so they are definitely the best choice.

After several people in the company confirmed, Pang Er was not far behind, and directly finalized Wan Rongli and An Cailing to participate in his movie "Rise to Fame".

As for Qi Wen's "Parents Love" crew, although there is no chance to win these actors of the company.

But I quickly contacted the official actors I had worked with.

There is basically no need to worry about the problems of the actors.

After Chen Kang heard that it was Xu Ji's script, he almost thought of it and agreed.

He only finished filming "My Captain, My Group" some time ago, it is said that he is tired, he is not short of money, he can film with such a high intensity, except for Xu Ji's favor, it can only be because of love.

......

The only thing that didn't make any moves, I'm afraid there was only Xu Ji.

Because he is the backbone after all, several directors came to him whenever they had time during this time, and he was busy answering everyone's various questions, and at the same time helping to make suggestions or something.

And Xu Ji plans to make a movie this time, but he doesn't actually plan to find an actor from the company to play the starring role, but he can let Ji Yiyang and Ran Bai make cameos.

As for the starring candidates in it, Xu Ji actually has his own considerations.

The relationship between him and Wei Yifa has become quite good because of "Wushuang", so naturally it can't be wasted.

And this time this movie, I also need to go to the port city to film.

It's time to sign a newcomer, after all, the actors of Tongji Entertainment are gradually not enough now.

......
