Chapter 349: A TV series with super long episodes
The popularity of "Xu Ji Concert" has completely reached the level of dominating the screen on the whole network.
At the same time, several songs that appeared in it also directly landed in the top ten of the new song lists on the two major platforms.
Tongji Entertainment's songs are good at this, and the two major music platforms have copyrights.
For many netizens, this means that they don't have to switch back and forth between the two platforms.
Of course, in fact, the two major platforms of Penguin Music and Cloud Music have come to You Man, saying that they want exclusive copyrights.
And the price is very high.
In terms of the songs of Xu Ji and Sha Yetong, it is worth spending that price.
But in the end, You Man still refused according to Xu Ji's request.
In fact, even if the two platforms release the copyright the same, the annual copyright fee can still bring a lot of income.
Xu Ji didn't plan to do anything exclusive.
On the contrary, it will make users who listen to the song feel troublesome.
Of course, it was Xu Ji himself who felt troublesome.
He usually annoys this when he listens to songs.
......
In addition to the songs, in fact, the most concerned by netizens is the performance and various interactions between Xu Ji and Sha Yetong on the show.
Especially the kiss that Sha Yetong suddenly attacked Xu Ji.
Now it has been screenshotted by countless CP fans and has begun to be promoted everywhere.
Even ordinary netizens, who usually don't snort Xu Ji and Sha Yetong, are also blessed after watching the show.
After all, netizens have actually watched the two debut step by step to today.
But after Xu Ji and Sha Yetong broadcast the show, they did not make a direct official announcement as expected.
But there was still no response.
However, this time, netizens didn't care so much, and basically decided that the two were already stone hammers.
Of course, Xu Ji and Sha Yetong are not traffic stars who can't fall in love, not only that, but after the two are together, the fans of both sides will be even happier.
......
As for the uproar on the Internet, Xu Ji and Sha Yetong were not affected much.
In fact, although it has not been made public, the people in Tongji Entertainment Company basically know their relationship.
You Man was the first to notice.
This was not a surprise in the slightest.
In the following time, "The Legend of the Withering Heroes" continued to be popular.
And Xu Ji began to write the second "Withered Heroes", and planned to start releasing and updating it after a while after the shooting was over.
Both parts have a similar word count.
However, for Xu Ji, it is only individual work.
is far less than the amount of effort it takes to write a script for Yang Anran or Qi Wen.
"Director Xu."
Qi Wen compared to Pang Er and Yang Anran, who have been urging the script every day for the past two days, it looks much more pleasing to the eye in Xu Xi.
"The script has been written."
"You take it back and take a good look at it, and you can just ask me any questions at any time."
Xu Ji said.
Then he handed the script that had been printed out in his hand to the other party.
Although Qi Wen didn't guard Xu Trace every day like Pang Er, she had actually been looking forward to the script for a long time.
At this time, I naturally couldn't wait to take it.
Then I saw the title of the play above at first glance.
But what made her feel a little embarrassed was that she didn't even know two of the three words in the title of the play.
Xu Ji found this carefully.
Then he spoke:
"This drama is called "The Legend of Zhen Huan"."
"In terms of specific themes, I call it a palace fighting drama."
Qi Wen was stunned for a moment, it was the first time she had heard of the word palace fighting drama.
But it's not so difficult to understand, like some costume dramas on the market before, which will involve some battles in the emperor's harem.
Xu Ji didn't explain much, and when the other party went back to read the script, he naturally understood what his words meant.
After that, Xu Ji spoke again:
"This drama is quite long."
"I guess it's going to take a lot of time to shoot, so my advice is to make thorough preparations before starting shooting."
When she got the script, Qi Wen actually felt it.
The thickness of this script is completely two levels from the previous "Parents Love".
But the script was so big that it wasn't even bound together, but divided into several copies.
"How many episodes are there?"
Qi Wen asked.
"About eighty episodes."
"For the specific number of episodes, you can watch the episodes above my script as a reference."
Even if there was an estimate, Qi Wen was still taken aback when she heard Xu Ji's words at this time.
Eighty episodes of TV series, even in the history of Chinese film and television, can definitely be regarded as a very rare episode length.
This is even more true now, many investors actually dare not invest in such a long drama.
Most episodes are too long and difficult to scale down, so they choose to shoot them in seasons.
"By the way, there's one more important point."
—"Xu Dao said. ”
Xu Ji hesitated for a moment before he spoke:
"The casting is very important this time."
"The male protagonist in this drama is actually not the most important, but the female protagonist needs to pay attention, in fact, strictly speaking, this is a big female protagonist drama."
Qi Wen was a little puzzled when she heard this word.
What does the big heroine mean.
But before she could ask, Xu Ji continued to speak:
"To put it simply, in fact, this drama is all the plot that the heroine Zhen Huan will unfold."
"So the choice of the heroine needs to be especially cautious."
"Of course, my personal advice is to give preference to a few actresses from our company."
......
What Xu Ji said in the end was actually selfish.
After all, he knows the power of this "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
In the last life, a drama directly made the actress who played Zhen Huan the absolute top in the entertainment industry at that time.
Such a drama can be performed by the artists of his own company, Xu Ji definitely doesn't want to put resources to others.
And at present, in fact, the acting skills of the company's three actresses are not bad.
Even An Cailing, who had the worst acting skills, is now qualified to be in charge.
Xu Ji recently watched the relevant clips of "Fireworks in the Day" performed by the other party, and the acting skills presented in it have indeed improved a lot.
As for She Yue and Zhu Zinan, not to mention more.
However, Xu Ji still thought that he should be treated equally, after all, She Yue acted in the now popular "The Legend of the Shooting Heroes".
Later, Zhu Zinan's "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Essence of the Ancient City" doesn't need to think about it, and the popularity will not be low.
If An Cailing can play the role, Xu Ji wants An Cailing to play it.
Of course, in the end, it depends on the performance after the audition.
If the standards are not met, Xu Ji will not really insist on giving the role to An Cailing.
The same goes for the other artists of the company.
Although it is the highest priority choice, if he is not competent, Xu Ji will not hesitate to find an actor outside.
......
Qi Wen took the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and left.
But at the same time, the news also spread.
Yang Anran knew that Xu Ji was writing the second sequel to "The Legend of the Shooting Heroes", but he was not in a hurry.
】
On the contrary, some other directors of Tongji Entertainment were a little unable to sit still at this time.
"Brother Pang, do you think there will be new film and television projects in the company this time?"
Pang Er and Yang Anran's residence, at this time, the directors of Tongji Entertainment were having dinner together.
Although it seemed like a simple question, some other directors also pricked up their ears at this time.
After all, if there is, it means that they can direct a new drama by themselves like Pang Er and Yang Anran and others.
While eating the hot pot, Pang Er said:
"It's really hard to say."
"After all, even if it's the big three, in fact, there are only a few large-scale projects at one time."
"The investment is there, and the risk is there."
"It's impossible not to think about that."
Hearing Pauer's words, a trace of disappointment flashed across everyone's faces.
"Wait, you don't know you can't be a director, and then you just change jobs, right?"
In fact, in the process of Tongji Entertainment, there have been cases where some employees resigned and then went to some other crews.
Of course, compared with many film and television companies, in fact, there are still relatively few such situations as Tongji Entertainment.
And Xu Ji didn't stop someone from going to other crews to work to earn some extra money or something like that when they were resting.
Tongji Entertainment is not like it was at the beginning, and now Tongji Entertainment is very famous.
Those employees who go out will not say whether they can get better development for the time being, but they will definitely be rushed by some other film and television companies and crews.
Of course, at present, the directors in the company, except for some who have been brushed down and eliminated and left, have not taken the initiative to leave.
Hearing Pang Er's words, the directors on the scene waved their hands one after another.
"Brother Pang, don't worry, we're not stupid."
"The treatment that Director Xu gave us is not available in other companies at all, and there are more opportunities here."
"You want to leave when you have a problem with your brain."
When these words came out, everyone nodded in agreement.
"And many of us have followed Director Xu since they started this business, and he was completely brought up by him, so what happened when he really jumped ship and went to other companies?"
The company atmosphere of Tongji Entertainment has always been relatively relaxed.
Except for the time on the set, most directors, including Xu Ji and Pang Er, actually do not have a particularly strict relationship between superiors and subordinates.
And many people actually make a lot of friends in Tongji Entertainment, basically not only work, but also the usual social circle is also Tongji Entertainment's people.
If he really leaves, he will say goodbye to his current friends.
Ponel also spoke:
"There's nothing wrong with wanting to pursue better development."
"But my personal suggestion is that if you don't become your own boss and still work for people after you go out, then it's better not to go out."
"And Director Xu is not afraid of everyone going out, and there is no prohibition on going to other crews to help during breaks."
"So it's not like there's any betrayal or betrayal."
"Just don't go to Phoenix Entertainment or anything disgusting, just do it."
The conflict between Phoenix Entertainment and Tongji has long been known.
Xu Ji himself is actually fine.
But these people under the company have basically reached the point where everyone shouts and beats Phoenix Entertainment.
Even when Pang Er was auditioning, when he met an artist from Phoenix Entertainment, he inevitably wore colored glasses.
......
The crowd didn't think there was anything wrong with Pon's words.
The staff of these crews of Tongji Entertainment no matter how loyal they are to the company and Xu Ji for the time being.
But compared to artists like Ji Yiyang, in fact, there is not so much need for people to come and poach people.
Directors who are already well-known such as Pang Er can't dig at all.
Unless all the current more than 1,000 crew members of Tongji Entertainment are poached, it will not have much impact at all.
"But I understand everyone's feelings."
"That's it, I'll ask Director Xu about it tomorrow."
"Let's see if the company will have new film and television projects in the future."
Poel spoke.
When everyone heard this, they were all happy.
......
The next day, in the studio of Tongji Entertainment.
"What?"
Pang Er looked at Xu Ji's assistant with a confused expression.
Xu Ji's assistant was changed to diligent before, but now it is basically served by this girl named Shen Qifen.
Shen Qifen is actually about the same age as Xu Ji, and he graduated from the same class.
Of course, it is precisely because of the filming of "Infernal Affairs" that the other party's ability is indeed outstanding, so Xu Ji simply let You Man not need to change people in the future.
"The boss said, Brother Pang, don't go to him if you're fine."
Shen Qifen also looked embarrassed.
The main reason is that Xu Ji directly named Pang Er, so she can't help it.
"I'm not going to ask for a script this time......"
"No, I shouldn't have asked for a script for myself."
Pang Er didn't expect that he had supervised Xu Ji's operation of writing the script throughout the whole process, which brought such a backlash at this time.
Shen Qifen also saw that it was important for Pang Er to find Xu Ji.
So he said: "Then Brother Pang, you wait here for a while, I'll ask the boss." ”
......
"Director Xu, you even asked your assistant to block me."
In Xu Ji's office, Pang Er had a resentful expression on his face.
Xu Ji stared at him a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, okay, aren't all the scripts for you?"
"What else?"
Pang Er also knew that he was here for business, but he directly talked about the meeting with the directors of the company yesterday.
Xu Ji was also a little surprised when he heard it.
Because this time Poel came just in time.
He already had that in mind.
Now in the company, there are many directors with a very good level.
is fully capable of directing a new drama alone.
Therefore, Xu Ji originally planned to continue to develop new film and television projects.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Pang Er came over.
"What is this?"
Seeing the large pile of documents that Xu Ji laboriously handed over with both hands, Pang Er asked with some curiosity.
"New script."
"You give it to Zeng Ying, and then let her come to me after reading the script."
Pang Er, who heard Xu Ji's words, was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that Xu Ji had already thought of this matter.
Zeng Ying was actually the assistant director of the crew of "Infernal Affairs" at that time, and he has been partnered with Xu Ji quite a lot.
Since Pang Er started filming dramas alone, Xu Ji used each other.
In terms of ability, Xu Ji also knows her very well, so he simply asked her to shoot this drama by name.
Pang Er looked at the heavy script in his hand, with the four-word title written on it - "Wulin Gaiden".
