Chapter 350: A Call from the Military

Pang Er didn't expect Xu Ji to completely predict his thoughts in advance.

In other words, in fact, from the fact that Xu Ji immediately came up with the script, it can basically be judged that Xu Ji has long planned to set up a new project.

And judging from the thickness of the script paper of the drama "Wulin Gaiden", Pang Er noticed something unusual.

"Director Xu, how many episodes of this drama are filmed?"

After Xu Ji heard Pang Er's words, he didn't hesitate to give his answer.

"Eighty episodes."

"It's kind of a sitcom."

"In terms of genre, our company has never filmed it before, but if it is Zeng Ying, there should be no big problem."

Hearing the answer of the eighty episodes, Pon's mouth opened wide.

He didn't expect Xu Ji to really stop fishing this time.

The "The Legend of Zhen Huan" given to Qi Wen a few days ago is also seventy or eighty episodes long.

The two dramas combined, the amount of work in the script is not small.

Xu Ji was written in such a short time.

and took the time to write a "Legend of the Shooting Heroes" halfway through and participated in a variety show.

Is this something that normal humans can do?

......

When Pang Er went to Zeng Ying with the script, she was actually quite surprised.

Mainly compared with some other directors, although she did think about directing a new drama herself, she didn't have such a strong desire.

She felt that she had been filming with Xu Ji for so long, but she still felt that she hadn't finished learning.

Therefore, I prefer to follow Xu Ji and continue to shoot two more films, and then start to be a director after accumulating experience.

There is still a big difference between an assistant director and a director.

Although she had done most of the things before, she had Xu Ji in charge, so she didn't panic at all.

Now that I'm filming by myself, I'm afraid that I'll be in a hurry and can't do it well.

Hearing Zeng Ying's thoughts, Pang Er was comforted.

"It's okay, you'll be proficient by patting it."

"That's how everybody came here."

"And Director Xu must have a reason to choose you, at least your ability must be enough."

"Don't be presumptuous."

When Pang Er saw Zeng Ying, he actually remembered the first time Xu Ji gave him the script.

At that time, he was similar to Zeng Ying now.

subconsciously wanted to refuse, feeling that there would definitely be problems when I became a director.

But later I found that there were such detailed scripts and storyboards written by Xu Ji, which were actually much simpler than I imagined.

All the previous experience with Xu Ji was also used.

......

During this time, Xu Ji has been writing scripts and spending time in the process of writing.

By this time, when they were almost finished, they suddenly realized that they hadn't even thought about what they were going to shoot next.

Everyone else's scripts have been written, and the scripts for his next film have even begun to be written.

It's a bit incredible.

However, Xu Ji was not so anxious to start filming at this time.

I am going to wait for the complete writing of "The Withered Heroes" before starting to prepare for the filming of the next movie.

Of course, there is also a big reason because Xu Ji didn't think clearly about what to shoot in the next movie at this time.

......

As the broadcast of "The Legend of the Withered Heroes" is coming to an end, the recent popularity has gradually increased.

Especially when they saw the protagonist Guo Jing's master, the Six Monsters of Jiangnan, die one after another, many viewers couldn't help but start complaining about Xu Ji.

"Here we go again, Xu Ji's knife is late, but it's here."

"Xu Ji is really still Xu Ji, he always has a knife, I just hope there will be no more knives in the back."

"The ending shouldn't be too miserable, Guo Jing and Huang Rong must have a good ending, otherwise I really can't help but send Xu Ji a blade."

"Hehe, Xu Ji is not afraid at all, it is estimated that the blades received in the past two years will soon be able to open a wholesale store, right?"

......

Xu Ji really doesn't care about this, but Chi Jiang on the other side of Station G cares very much.

It's not that he's worried, after all, he has already watched the whole show in advance.

What the ending will be like has long been known.

On the contrary, I felt that Xu Jidao was not thorough enough this time, and it was not in line with the other party's style.

What was the final ending of the original fairy sword, it was really no character who had a good ending.

But that's the case, the finale of Sword and Fairy is the most popular time in the whole show.

The more ruthless the knife, the more ruthless the audience scolded Xu Ji, and at the same time, the higher the popularity of the drama, and various data also set records repeatedly.

As an audience, Chi Jiang naturally couldn't wait to send a blade to Xu Ji.

But as the person in charge of the film and television department of Station G, he needs to pay more attention to the broadcast data of the drama itself.

Fortunately, even if you don't send too many knives, in fact, the current "Legend of the Shooting Heroes" still has no opponents at this time.

The other three major video websites have been avoiding the war until now.

Relying on this drama, Station G has already harvested the market after the year.

The number of members also reached an all-time high of 200 million.

has caught up with Tudou Video, and the gap between Kiwifruit and Penguin Video in the top three of the video platform is gradually narrowing.

At the beginning, Chi Jiang's biggest wish was that the number of members of G station could exceed 100 million.

At the time, I thought it was an unattainable goal, but I had already achieved it early.

Now that I see that it has exceeded 200 million, although I am also a little excited, I don't have the feeling of being so excited that I can't sleep at night.

are used to it, since cooperating with Tongji Entertainment, it is not the first time that such a phenomenal drama has appeared.

The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is how to maintain these members.

I heard that the next drama of Tongji Entertainment is about to be completed.

I don't know if it can be seamlessly connected with the finale of "The Legend of the Withering Heroes".

After all, after the broadcast, because the resources of the new drama are too expensive, it is not uncommon for the membership water to plummet.

This is not only station G, but also platforms like penguins and kiwi fruits.

After all, even if it is the penguin video of the leading boss, there is still no guarantee that there will always be a hit drama.

It can only be said that it would be good to be able to produce one in a quarter.

For a phenomenal drama like "The Legend of the Withering Heroes", it is already very lucky to have one a year.

After all, there hasn't been a phenomenal hit drama for a year, and it's not uncommon.

It's all a matter of luck.

It's not that there is hope just by relying on the drama itself or marketing.

No one can always understand the market.

Penguin Video is just because it has more film and television resources than other platforms, so it has a high probability.

......

"The production of "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is complete?"

Hearing You Man's news, Xu Ji was also a little surprised.

After all, he originally thought that with so many special effects, it would take about a month.

Unexpectedly, the efficiency of the mountain studio is getting higher and higher.

"After the year, the mountain side expanded again, and after the completion of the later stage of "The Legend of the Withering Heroes", there are a lot more people."

You Man explained.

Since Tongji Entertainment acquired Mountain Studio, it has expanded its enrollment several times.

Now the number of people is close to 500 people, and it is almost catching up with some of the largest special effects studios.

And the technical level of the mountains is not low.

In the later stage of the previous fairy sword two, Honghu was needed to help with the main work.

But by the time of the current "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and Shooting Withering, I have been able to complete the special effects of the main part independently, and the slightly minor parts are too busy to choose to outsource.

Under the leadership of Yin Zi, coupled with the support of Tongji Entertainment's capital and large-scale business, it is indeed a huge progress.

It is estimated that in less than a year or two, it will be able to enter the list of the top ten special effects studios in China.

is also because Shanyue is now mainly responsible for only Tongji Entertainment's dramas, so it is not so famous in the industry.

Otherwise, it can really barely squeeze into the top ten ranks.

Of course, in fact, this reputation or anything is not so important.

It is all selected by the so-called industry media themselves.

The main purpose is to solicit new projects for the company.

And Shanyue, which has been serving Tongji Entertainment from the beginning, is not particularly in need of these reputations.

......

"But it's estimated that it will take some time to review."

"Plus the publicity before the broadcast or something, and it will be after the broadcast of "The Legend of the Withering Heroes" for a while, before it can be taken over."

You Man explained.

In fact, Tongji Entertainment did not deliberately control the post-production and broadcast time of the show.

Basically, the quality of the finished film is the primary key.

But this time I was able to take over the shooting, and there was another "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and the happiest estimate was still on the side of Chijiang at Station G.

"By the way, I called from the Television and Radio Bureau just now, saying that Duan Lao was looking for you."

Because Xu Ji has been writing "The Withered Heroes" recently, his mobile phone is silent.

Hearing You Man's words, he reacted, took out his mobile phone, and sure enough, he saw Duan Shengyu's missed call.

"I'll call back and ask what's going on."

Xu Ji was also a little curious.

If Duan Shengyu is generally fine, he basically won't take the initiative to contact him.

You Man put the document in his hand on Xu Ji's desk and reminded, "Remember to sign." ”

......

"Hey, Xiao Xu, it's me."

"Lao Hu is here with me."

The phone was connected, and Xu Ji heard Hu Lan's voice from the other end.

This made Xu Ji even more curious.

After all, Hu Lan represents the military, and if he is fine, he will not generally come out of the army.

Being able to appear in Duan Shengyu's place means that the other party must have come with the above task.

"Minister Hu, long time no see."

When filming "Soldier Assault", Xu Ji was more familiar with Hu Lan.

I didn't feel particularly inhibited or anything.

Hu Lan and Duan Shengyu are both the kind of people who are relatively coarse and detailed.

On the surface, it seems to be informal, but in fact, I have my own judgment and code of conduct for everything.

"Xiao Xu, this time it's actually the old Duan I came to find."

"I just want to ask if you have time recently, come to the capital and we'll talk about it in detail."

Hearing Hu Lan's words, Xu Ji also felt very surprised.

He didn't expect that as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he asked if he could go to the capital.

Obviously, it's inconvenient to talk about it on the phone this time.

If it were someone else, Xu Ji might have considered it and then declined.

But after all, he is a representative of the military, so Xu Ji naturally has no way to refuse.

Then he agreed.

However, to Xu Xi's surprise, Hu Lan seemed to be in a hurry, so he had better be able to get to the capital tomorrow.

It seems that only overnight bought a ticket and flew over.

......

"To the capital?"

Sha Yetong saw that Xu Ji was about to fly to the capital overnight, and he couldn't help but ask.

Mainly because the two originally made an appointment to go on a date together in the evening.

Xu Ji even booked a restaurant.

Now it can only be delayed.

"Why don't you come with me?"

Xu Ji opened his mouth to propose.

Because the next day is Sha Yetong's birthday, if you go to the capital, you may not be able to accompany each other to celebrate your birthday.

"Forget it, I still have a show the day after tomorrow."

"You don't know how long you'll have to stay, and if I go with you, I won't be able to come back in time."

Sha Yetong said and took the initiative to comfort:

"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've had a birthday, which birthday haven't you been there for more than 20 years before?"

"It's okay to have one more time or one less time."

Xu Ji also nodded helplessly.

Then I didn't know how many times I had the idea of retirement.

In fact, he and Sha Yetong are good enough, at least it is common to meet, as long as Xu Ji does not enter the group to film, most of them can accompany each other.

This is the prerogative of the boss.

Like some other celebrity couples, most of them are actually separated because of work, and most of the time they get together less and leave more.

Slowly, the feelings will be surging.

Xu Ji also has such worries from time to time.

But then I thought about it and felt like I was thinking too much.

......

In the end, Xu Ji still bought a ticket to fly to the capital that night.

In fact, he still wanted to go back the next morning, but Hu Lan and Duan Shengyu were urging it.

He said that it was better to go over that evening and be able to meet tomorrow morning.

And Xu Ji also inquired, and it seems that he is not the only director in the past this time.

There are also several other well-known super-first-line directors.

Of course, after the plane landed at night, someone was specially sent to pick it up.

Accommodation has also been arranged.

Saves a lot of trouble.

But Xu Ji has always felt a little absent-minded.

Especially thinking that it was the first time I didn't accompany Sha Yetong for her birthday.

Even when the two of them were in college, the school was very far away, and it wasn't on weekends or anything, Xu Ji still ran to find Sha Yetong.

Xu Ji is actually not a person with a particularly sense of ceremony, but when it comes to things related to Sha Yetong, he has somehow been particularly attentive since he was a child.

"Teacher Xu Ji, Teacher Xu Ji?"

Xu Ji was shouted back to his senses by the driver.

"What's wrong?"

The other person pointed to the hotel outside the car.

"Here we are."

"I'll take you to your room."

"Tomorrow, around nine o'clock in the morning, I'll pick you up."

"At that time, it is estimated that there will be several other directors together, but they all live in the capital, so you will live here alone for now."

......

Xu Ji nodded, and then got out of the car.

When I got out of the car, I noticed that the photos of the car were a little different.

It seems that this incident is indeed quite important, because the person who picked him up should not be from the Television and Radio Bureau, but from the military.

......
