Chapter 115: TV Drama Script
Yan Mi's development is very different from that of another world, it may be that with the existence of Li Jiaqi, Rong Zhixin's originally limited resources cannot be tilted towards one person.
Yan Mi has not had any outstanding roles since filming "Condor", and she originally grasped the drama "Wang Zhaojun", but she also missed the opportunity because of Rong Zhixin's lack of stamina because of the dispersion of resources.
On the contrary, Li Jiaqi, who later joined Rong Zhixin, relied on the brilliance of Milai in "Struggle", coupled with several scandals with Zhou Cheng, and her status in the hearts of Li Xiaowan and Li Shaohong has risen a lot.
In the other world, Zeng Jing, an important figure in Yan Mi's independence, is currently Li Jiaqi's full-time agent, and Yan Mi gradually fell behind in the competition with Li Jiaqi.
Yan Mi definitely didn't know how beautiful she was in another world, she just regarded herself as a little girl who hadn't graduated yet, and wanted to look for opportunities everywhere, I heard that Zhang Xiaofei, who was in the same dormitory, got a drama and movie resource from Zhou Cheng during the summer vacation.
Although Yan Mi's voice has a hint of natural smack, which seems crispy, in fact, her personality is still quite aggressive. At least on the surface, he didn't show a trace of hostility towards Zhou Cheng, but wanted to get acquainted with Zhou Cheng more.
"You should have skipped class today." After greetings, Zhou Cheng looked at a few girls and asked questions.
"Mr. Zhou, I heard that you have a script here......" Seeing Zhou Cheng's eyes look around, Zhang Xiaofei was most familiar with it, so he was the first to speak.
"You've heard about it too? It seems that our studio is getting a lot of attention. Zhou Cheng didn't admit it, turned his head to look at Li Yan and the others, and found that Tao Ze had a trace of shame on his face.
Alas, it's still the kind of love that fell into the gentle township. Zhou Cheng couldn't help but shake his head, Tao Ze in another world has been chasing Tang Wan, but he didn't expect that he would end up marrying a cross talker.
"Brother Cheng, is there a role that suits us?" Yan Mi looked at Zhou Cheng, and her big eyes revealed a hint of seductive charm, which made Zhou Cheng's mind move.
"We have just finished this script, and the initial plan is to produce it next summer." Zhou Cheng didn't hide it, and he had nothing to hide: "After I confirm the director here, I will arrange an audition." I can't guarantee anything else, as long as you can pass the audition, the role will definitely be reserved for you. ”
"Really?" The three girls' eyes lit up when they heard Zhou Cheng's promise.
Although Zhou Cheng's words did not promise anything, they were more trustworthy than his big package.
Among the three of them, especially Tang Wan, they already knew some plots from Tao Ze in advance. There are more than a dozen female characters in this play, and there are six or seven main female characters. Even if they need to audition, the three of them can get the role that suits them by preparing in advance.
"As a senior brother, will I lie to you? I just hope that this thing will not spread to you when it comes to you. Zhou Cheng said to the three of them: "There are few people who know now, you can prepare in advance, and you also know that the more people who know, the greater the competition you face." ”
"We understand, thank you, brother." The three girls also understood the reason, and felt the meaning of Zhou Cheng's eviction order: "Senior brother, let's go back first, there is a physical class today, and if we go late, Teacher Liu will criticize us again." ”
Zhou Cheng sent the three of them to the stairs before stopping.
The excited Zhang Xiaofei and Tang Wan waved goodbye to Zhou Cheng and their steps were much lighter, and Yan Mi, who was deliberately lagging behind, turned around and smiled mysteriously at Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng didn't think about the meaning of her smile, and after turning his face, his original smiling expression sank for a moment.
Zhou Cheng returned to the office, looked at Li Yan and said, "Li Yan, I will transfer 50,000 yuan to you later, according to what we agreed in advance, you will be 30,000, and Tao Ze and Xiaotian will be 10,000 each." You just have to pack the script for me. ”
Hearing that Zhou Cheng settled the bill directly and did not mention the new project, Wu Xiaotian was anxious: "Brother Cheng, didn't you say that there is a new project today?" ”
Zhou Cheng replied lightly: "You just finished a script, and you're tired." Take a break. You and Tao Ze still have classes to attend, so don't delay. ”
Zhou Cheng's words made Wu Xiaotian and Tao Ze look at each other, and Tao Ze vaguely guessed that it was because he leaked the script to Tang Wan in advance that Zhou Cheng changed his original plan.
Tao Ze hesitated, and just wanted to stand up and apologize, Li Yan had already stood up in advance: "Brother Cheng, it's my fault this time." You put me in charge of the coordination of the entire script, and I didn't fulfill my responsibilities, which caused the script to leak out in advance. ”
"Brother Cheng, this matter is not Li Yan's responsibility, it is my fault." Tao Ze saw Li Yan coming out, and he couldn't hold back anymore: "It was I who was able to reveal the content of the script to her in order to please Tang Wan, if you want to blame me, blame me." ”
"I'm not blaming you." Zhou Cheng shook his head: "After all, we are only a cooperative relationship, and we have not signed a contract, and we have not constrained you from revealing it to others." ”
Seeing that Tao Ze still wanted to explain, Zhou Cheng stretched out his hand to stop: "If you don't secret, you will lose your minister, if you don't secret, you will lose your body, and if you don't keep secrets, you will be harmful." Let's not get involved in interests in the future, let's be pure brothers. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhou Cheng took Li Yan's printed script and USB flash drive and turned to leave, leaving Tao Ze, who looked uncertain, and Wu Xiao, who was a little dissatisfied, left.
"Li Yan, what do you mean by Brother Cheng? Peaches accidentally made a mistake this time, so why not change it next time, as for saying it so seriously? And there's Liu Wei here......"
Wu Xiaotian opened his mouth to repay Tao Ze for his unyieldingness, this time Zhou Cheng talked about Tao Ze again, but in fact, he was secretly waking up Wu Xiaotian.
"Xiaotian, if you really think so, I'm afraid there will be no chance of cooperation in the future. We can't bully Zhou Cheng just because he treats us as brothers. Li Yan opened his mouth to interrupt Wu Xiaotian's cheering, although usually because of family reasons, Li Yan rarely stands out among the brothers, it does not mean that he has no ideas of his own. The fact that this situation will happen today is related to Tao Ze and Wu Xiaotian's lack of involvement in the world, which also makes Li Yan finally muster up the courage to express his views.
"We didn't bully him, right?" Wu Xiaotian said.
"Don't talk about it far away, let's talk about today's script. Brother Cheng has already set up the framework, and we are responsible for filling in the storyline. But not only did he not treat us badly in terms of price, but he also directly handed over the authorship of this script to the three of us. Have you worked with the writers before to take such good care of you? ”
"Brother Cheng even gave you the right to authorship?" Hearing this, Liu Wei on the side couldn't help but exclaim.
Wu Xiaotian said with some embarrassment: "Yes, Li Yan is the first screenwriter, Tao Ze and I are ranked second and third respectively, and Brother Cheng is not named." ”
Li Yanchong nodded at Liu Wei, who showed envy, and then continued to explain: "Tao Ze and Xiaotian, neither of you have been with the group, so you don't know much about the Tao inside. There are too many interests involved in a TV series like this, from investment in production, selection of actors, to later release and release, at least tens of millions of dollars. It's normal for Brother Cheng to be angry. ”
Wu Xiaotian and Tao Ze realized the seriousness of the matter at this time, thinking that the drama "Donkey Gets Water" that Zhou Cheng was operating had an investment of 10 million, so the investment in this 40-episode TV series would definitely exceed 10 million. And Tao Ze leaked it before the project began, in case of immeasurable losses to Zhou Cheng, it was reasonable for Zhou Cheng to pursue him for leaking trade secrets. Even if Zhou Cheng doesn't pursue his brother's face, Tao Ze's behavior makes him unable to get along in this circle in the future.
"Li Yan, what do you say? I really did it wrong this time. Tao Ze, who had already figured it out, turned pale: "Otherwise, call Chu Ran, he has the best relationship with Brother Cheng, and we will apologize to Brother Cheng through him." ”
"Otherwise, make amends with wine, otherwise Brother Cheng will not cooperate with us again in the future." Wu Xiaotian is also aware of this problem.
Today, Zhou Cheng arranged for Li Yan to call Liu Wei over, there must be a new project to hand over to a few people, and now Zhou Cheng turned his head and left, he should have dispelled this idea. Not only did he leak the script, but he also caused Li Yan and several others to lose the opportunity to continue to cooperate.
"I will call Brother Cheng directly and admit my mistake." Li Yan thought for a while and persuaded Tao Zegui: "We have graduated and entered the society, so we can no longer be as simple as when we were students before, and we must learn the rules of survival in the workplace." Brother Cheng treats us as friends and brothers, but we can't be too casual, he is our leader and the CEO of this company. Brother Cheng has shown his resources and abilities to convince me, I don't care what you think about your future in the future, I have made up my mind to follow him, only he will look ahead. ”
"Okay, I'll call Brother Cheng to apologize, invite him to dinner, and fight for his forgiveness." Tao Ze thought about it, and finally made up his mind and came to the door with his mobile phone.
Tao Ze's phone call was not long, about two minutes, but his originally somewhat uneasy expression calmed down after the call, and then said excitedly to several people: "Brother Cheng didn't blame me, he also invited us to go to his house for barbecue tomorrow." ”
"I'll just say that Brother Cheng is not such a stingy person." Wu Xiaotian also put down his thoughts: "Tomorrow we will bring a few bottles of good wine over, and then make a gift to Brother Cheng, everyone will still be good brothers in the future." ”
"Okay, that's it." Tao Ze sent an invitation to Li Yan: "Let's go buy wine now, let's go together." ”
"Go ahead, I've got some finishing touches." Li Yan shook his head and said to Liu Wei: "I'm afraid I'll let you run for nothing today, wait until tomorrow I will confirm the project with Brother Cheng, and we will contact you." ”
Li Yan stood on the balcony and watched the three of them leave one after another, and took out his mobile phone to make a call to Zhou Cheng.
