Chapter 334: Xu Ji of Wearing Many Hats
"Old Mo, many people have come to me now."
"Asking about the true identity of the Facelings."
In a hotel in Hangzhou, Wang Jiangyu looked embarrassed and confided in Mo Jianwen.
In the past, he and Mo Jianwen both lost and looked at each other unpleasantly.
But with "The Masked Singer" having cooperated for so many issues, the relationship has become unexpectedly good at this time.
"Who isn't?"
"You have to hold on, if the identity of the Facelings is revealed, then our show loses its greatest appeal."
"It doesn't have much impact on Xu Ji, but it has a bigger impact on us."
Mo Jianwen replied very firmly.
In fact, if it is said in the past, Wang Jiangyu was very disgusted with the idea of all parties affecting the control of his program.
And resolutely resisted.
But now, he doesn't have the courage to say such a thing.
Mainly the people who came to him, with the airing of the latest episode of The Masked Singer, it has gotten bigger and bigger.
He didn't know if he would be able to withstand such pressure.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't say it, I will never be the one who leaked the secret!"
Wang Jiangyu gritted his teeth and said very firmly.
"Also, for the others who know the identity of the Facelings, you'd better keep those people in mind."
Mo Jianwen reminded again.
The identity of the Faceling, from the first issue, has been the most strictly kept secret.
Even in the program group, only a few people know.
"They are all my most trusted brothers, don't worry about this!"
Wang Jiangyu answered directly, without the slightest hesitation.
"It's you, and you have to take care of your people!"
Mo Jianwen was noncommittal.
Those who can know Xu Ji's identity are the core personnel of the two-person team.
The likelihood of a leak is also not high.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that Xu Ji will take the initiative to leak the news.
But thinking of Xu Ji's character, he didn't even take the interview, so there was no need to worry too much.
......
"Has the identity of the Facelings been found?"
Tianwu Entertainment, Ji Yeming's chairman's office, a man with an unattractive appearance and a peaked cap is standing respectfully.
After hearing Ji Yeming's question, he replied directly:
"Got it."
"Facelings are Xu Ji."
......
After Ji Yeming heard Xu Ji's name, the whole person was obviously stunned for several seconds.
"Is the source reliable?"
The man in the cap nodded without the slightest hesitation when he heard this.
"I arranged it myself."
Ji Yeming sighed helplessly.
"It's a shame."
"Don't let the news get out, especially over there with Phoenix and Smallpox."
"Alright, let's get out!"
......
Facelings are indeed attractive.
Even for the Sky Dance, one of the Big Three, it's the same.
Ji Yeming had even made up his mind to sign the Faceling under the banner of Sky Dance, even if it was at a great cost.
If you want to say who has this ability in the entertainment industry, it may only be Tianwu.
Sky Dance has its own news channels, whether it's a paparazzi, a detective or something, anyway, Sky Dance is definitely the most well-informed company in the entire entertainment industry.
Even Phoenix Entertainment and Smallpox Entertainment can't compare.
In the end, as Ji Yeming wished, he found out the true identity of the Faceling.
It's just that I didn't expect it to be Xu Ji.
Even if it is for any other singer, even if it is someone under the other two major companies, Ji Yeming will decisively do everything possible to poach people.
But that was Xu Ji, Ji Yeming didn't have to worry about it, and chose to give up directly.
After all, Xu Ji is not an ordinary singer, and more importantly, the other party is still the boss of Tongji Entertainment.
This is an unsolvable problem.
What's more, Tianwu's son-in-law is still entertaining, if he really poachs all the bosses, it is estimated that Ji Yiyang's kid will fight with him.
After a lot of effort in vain, Ji Yeming suddenly felt a lack of interest, decisively exercised his boss privileges, and left the company early.
......
Xu Ji felt that there was something wrong with the way he opened the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala.
Isn't he a singer who came to participate in the Spring Festival Gala?
How did you slowly become a multi-tasking staff?
Duan Suxin is such a big director of the Spring Festival Gala, and he actually came to ask him for his thoughts and suggestions on everything.
I don't think anyone will believe it.
The main reason is that Xu Ji's previous performance is indeed a little too prominent.
It's an original song, a singing and dancing program, and even two sketch scripts have been written.
And the quality and excitement of the show still make Duan Suxin feel that there is nothing wrong with it.
So now Xu Ji and Sha Yetong's shows are actually not much of a problem, and their performance is quite stable at every rehearsal.
But he still couldn't relax.
Every time I finished performing with Sha Yetong, I had to come to Duan Suxin's side and watch the whole process of the Spring Festival Gala together.
As for Duan Suxin, I don't know how many times I've thought like this.
Inviting Xu Ji is indeed the most correct decision she made this Spring Festival Gala.
Because of Xu Ji's existence, it not only solved the previous headache of program quality, but also made her director's work much easier.
......
Xu Ji is participating in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, but the people of Tongji Entertainment in Rongcheng are not idle.
At this time, there are probably less than twenty days left before the Spring Festival Gala.
In You Man's office, she looked at Pang Er in front of her with a serious face.
"Director Pang, are you really sure?"
"Do you want "Rise to Fame" to be released during the Spring Festival?"
Pang Er was also very firm at this time, and replied directly:
"I'm sure!"
"If you miss the Spring Festival, the next better schedule is estimated to be in April and May."
You Man was a little helpless.
He just felt that Poel was a little too much.
I don't know what good habits I learned from Xu Ji.
The intensity of this year's Spring Festival film market is actually as fierce as the previous New Year's Day.
What's more, Pon's "Rise to Fame" is not Xu Ji's "Infernal Affairs".
Whether it is in terms of casts or investment costs, there is no comparison between the two at all.
In terms of actors, there is only An Cailing, a popular first-line actor, and everyone else is not famous.
Although there is really nothing wrong with the actors' acting skills, this is not very useful for the promotion of the movie.
As for the cost of investment, it is even smaller.
The total cost is even less than 50 million.
Such a movie, ready to be placed in the Spring Festival file and fight with those big productions with hundreds of millions of investment, is indeed a little too difficult.
"Alas, Mr. Xu also said that there was no problem."
"The release time of the movie is set by you, the director."
"I still don't agree, but let it be."
You Man sighed helplessly, and then agreed.
Pang Er was very happy when he heard You Man's relief, but comforted the other party.
"Sister Man, don't be afraid, the quality of our movies is not low."
"Isn't it just the Spring Festival stall, it's not difficult."
"And our investment is low, in fact, it is much easier to return on investment than other films."
......
Of course, You Man is not worried about the problem of recovering the cost.
Such a cost, in fact, is not difficult to recover at all.
And the movie itself has the blessing of the script, and the quality is still guaranteed.
But even so, it is still a bit risky to release it during the Spring Festival.
If you avoid these big-budget movies, the difficulty is lower, and the box office is likely to be higher.
Of course, the traffic of the Spring Festival stalls is large, which can be regarded as both pros and cons.
You Man can only convince himself like this.
Anyway, Xu Ji's "Infernal Affairs" has made a lot of money, and when the box office share arrives, the company will have no financial pressure for the time being.
The cost of less than 50 million yuan will not be lost anywhere.
......
In addition to Pang Er's "Rise to Fame", which has been finalized, several other projects of Tongji Entertainment have also ushered in the closing stage.
The post-production special effects of "The Legend of the Withered Heroes" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" have reached the final stage.
Among them, the progress of "The Legend of the Withering Heroes" is slightly faster, and it is estimated that it will be completely completed after the year, and the online broadcast is just around the corner.
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is a little slower, but if nothing else, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will still be broadcast after "The Legend of the Withering Heroes".
After all, they are all Tongji Entertainment's dramas, and they are all broadcast on station G, so it is naturally impossible to put them together and have a situation where they hit their right hands with their left hand.
In addition, the literary film "Fireworks in the Day" has also been completed and has entered the later editing stage.
It is estimated that it will be able to catch up with some international film festivals after the year.
In addition, the previously acquired Cherry Animation and two foreign animation studios are also making good progress.
The progress of "The Return of the Great Sage" is about 80%, and it should be confirmed to be released within this year.
There are also two big animated movies abroad, but the progress is a little slower.
It's only sixty or seventy percent.
In fact, after the completion of several dramas, many people in Tongji Entertainment suddenly began to be idle.
If it weren't for Xu Ji going to the Spring Festival Gala, there might have been many people chasing after the script.
Now, according to the tradition of Tongji Entertainment, it is estimated that if you want to get a new script, you will have to wait until the New Year holiday to come back.
Tongji Entertainment's annual leave is quite long.
......
The Spring Festival is approaching, and the movies in the Spring Festival stalls have also begun to warm up and promote.
It's the same with "Rise to Fame".
At this time, in fact, "Infernal Affairs" has not yet been released, and no one expected that Tongji Entertainment would have another movie on the Spring Festival.
However, many netizens were suddenly much less interested when they saw that Xu Ji was just a screenwriter and the director was someone else.
There is also the cast, only An Cailing knows himself, and the others are indeed some unknown second- and third-tier actors.
It's the kind of person who looks familiar, but can't name it at all.
Compared with some other movies in the Spring Festival file, the attraction is really too weak.
In addition to a small number of Xu Ji's fans, there are also suspense fans who discovered that Pang Er is the director of several suspense theaters, and all of them are interested, most of them don't pay attention after a glance.
What's more, this time the other movies are all big productions, and all the publicity and distribution are full.
In such a situation, You Man felt that there was no need to struggle, and the publicity expenses were not too exaggerated, but only maintained at a normal level of several million.
So "Rise to Fame" really doesn't have much popularity.
Even if it is written by Xu Ji and the name of Tongji Entertainment, it is the same result.
I feel submerged in several other blockbusters in the Spring Festival file.
......
The Spring Festival is approaching, and there are many decorations on the street, but the atmosphere of the festival is not as strong as imagined.
Especially for many migrant workers, the Spring Festival is indeed very exciting.
It's not that I'm looking forward to the New Year, but I'm looking forward to the holidays.
At the same time, the program list of the Spring Festival Gala was also released for the first time.
According to the usual practice, netizens also launched a heated discussion on the Spring Festival Gala.
"Damn, the program of this year's Spring Festival Gala feels good, there are many programs I want to watch."
"Two teachers, Tan Jinguang and Ji Yanyu, are also here? [Expecting Face .jpg]"
"Are Xu Ji and Sha Yetong's show still on? I just don't know what the level of this new director is. ”
"Upstairs, do you want to see what you're talking about, Director Duan Suxin's family is already the third year to be the director of the Spring Festival Gala!"
"It turned out to be Director Duan? The standard of the programs in the previous two years is so high, and it is estimated that this year will not be bad. ”
"To be honest, Director Duan is too miserable, the director has had an accident for two consecutive years, and he has been a firefighter twice."
......
The popularity of the Spring Festival Gala is still very high.
After all, it is a program that can break through such exaggerated numbers as 50 ratings once a year.
Even the usual popular dramas and variety shows can't be compared.
A few days before the Spring Festival, Weite is basically full of hot search entries for the Spring Festival Gala.
Many artists in the entertainment industry are actually paying attention to these.
Especially who went to the Spring Festival Gala again this year, and then made envy or sour sighs in their respective small group chats.
And this year, the most discussed by many peers is naturally Yu Feifei.
Relying on the song "Orchid Pavilion Preface" on "The Masked Singer", Yu Feifei's popularity has risen a lot.
Even a sudden secondary explosion is not an exaggeration.
Although Yu Feifei wears a mask, his identity is not a secret in the audience, let alone their peers.
And now it is directly on the Spring Festival Gala, which really makes many people feel envious.
As for why Yu Feifei, who had been tepid before, was able to suddenly have such treatment, in fact, everyone knows very well that this is inseparable from Tongji Entertainment.
Because of Yu Feifei, Tongji Entertainment has once again become a company that many artists yearn for.
"This Yu Feifei's luck is really good, why did he suddenly join Tongji Entertainment?"
"Indeed, if you look at the artists who left Phoenix Entertainment before, except for her, how miserable everyone else is."
"I also want Xu Ji to help me write songs, and I can really increase millions of fans casually."
"I feel that the song of Yu Feifei in the Spring Festival Gala was written by Xu Ji again."
"Isn't it nonsense? Otherwise, how could Yu Feifei get the opportunity to sing solo? ”
......
In a small group, several second- and third-tier artists were discussing Yu Feifei's appearance on the Spring Festival Gala list.
At the same time, I am also thinking about how to join Tongji Entertainment.
Now in their opinion, if they can enter Tongji Entertainment, even if it is a pig, Xu Ji can make it a well-known pig in the country.
