Chapter 85: The Director

Speaking of "The Story of the Editorial Department", Xuluo still has a headache.

If it was before, the script was sold to Eying Studio at a low price, then as long as the status of Ge You and Jiang Shan as protagonists could be guaranteed, the rest would be considered by them.

Including the director and the production team, there is no need to worry about it.

But as my mother said, it feels very bad to sell the script to others at a low price, get a little reward, and be talked about.

Obviously, I am the biggest hero, I sacrificed so much for the Eying Studio, and finally got a small reward, there are still people gossiping up and down, what am I trying to do?

In addition, Eying Studio asked Xuluo to lend them $1.5 million this time, so they owed Xuluo a favor, and Xuluo had more reason to be alone. I made a film and television work.

I made money, distributed it to Eying Studio, and even more Eying Studio made money, and then distributed it to me, these are two completely different feelings.

It is still the most stable to control the most important things in your own hands and grasp them all.

Besides, under the banner of Eying Studio, they can still get at least 20%-30% profit sharing, is this still sorry for them?

Thinking of this, Xuluo was ready to go it alone with peace of mind.

Since he is working alone, the most important thing is a production team and actor connections.

You can ask Eying Studio for assistance, but you must not let them take the lead and occupy all the initiative.

Regardless of priority is the biggest hidden danger.

Therefore, the first element of Xuluo now is to piece together a production team and cast first.

When "The Story of the Editorial Department" succeeded, and when "Farewell My Concubine" succeeded, Xuluo didn't believe that there would be no masters from these film studios to defect.

Now Lian Zheng. The officials of the government agencies and units have all resigned and gone to the sea to do business, and the masters of the film studios who have no reason to eat some dead wages all want to live this ordinary life, right?

The two TV series "Silly Teacher" and "Alien Girl" have an average selling price of more than 10 million, which is enough for Xuluo to feed the two teams.

Many things in Xiangjiang are too impetuous, but according to the employment strategies of those film companies mentioned by Wang Fatzi, Xuluo believes that there is still a place in the mainland.

Compared with eating a big pot of rice, it is obviously better for those who can work more.

……

Specific to "The Story of the Editorial Department", the first thing Xuluo must determine is the director.

This time, Xuluo doesn't want to use the director of Eying Studio, but you want to find a suitable director, they are basically from major film studios or TV stations.

For example, now Brother Kai's relationship is attached to the Perylene Power Plant, and Zhang Yamou is from the Zhuying Factory.

Of course, they can also come out to make movies, but first they have to agree to their own units, and then they have to pay the unit.

This is different from Heungjiang's model.

Many directors in Hong Kong are freelancers, such as Wang Fatzi, who finds a script and a company by himself, or the company thinks you are good and asks you to make a movie.

Such two-way choices are very particular about the market model, and there are not so many rules and regulations.

But you can't go to the director of Xiangjiang in "The Story of the Editorial Department", many of the jokes in it, as well as the strong flavor of Peijing, are not what Xiangjiang directors can do at all.

Therefore, Xuluo has to find an expert, preferably a connoisseur who is familiar with the taste of Peijing.

So he called Ge You out, and then there was Zhang Guoli.

As a result, Ge You asked if he could bring Liang Tian with him, and as soon as Xu Luo thought of his brother Liang Zuo, and then remembered Jia Zhixin in "I Love My Family", he immediately agreed.

During this time, Xuluo also took the No. 2 baby and went to have two meals with Liang Zuo.

It's a pity that there are no more memories to restart.

Xuluo was not discouraged, he had already picked wool on Liang Zuo's body, and he also knew that Liang Zuo was talented.

In the future, similar sitcoms, Xuluo can even ask him to write a screenplay.

Don't laugh yet.

After Xuluo's "The Story of the Editorial Department" and "I Love My Home" were given to him, Liang Zuo made a very amazing proposal to Xuluo.

That is to let the editor-in-chief Chen in "The Story of the Editorial Department" be directly replaced by Jia Jingxian in "I Love My Family" - that is, Fu Ming.

It was changed to Fu as editor-in-chief.

Then "I Love My Home" can be a continuation of "The Story of the Editorial Department".

There is even an interaction between Peace, Jia Zhiguo, Jia Zhixin and "The Story of the Editorial Department", and then in "I Love My Home", the actors of "The Story of the Editorial Department" can also make guest appearances in a few episodes.

In this way, the two TV series can promote each other, and each other's achievements are also a good story of a sitcom drama.

When Xu Luo heard it at that time, he immediately applauded.

Such an idea can only be thought of by genius!

Don't bother the two masters.

At that moment, Xuluo asked Liang Zuo to interact with the characters of these two TV series and write a few episodes of the book.

18 episodes of "The Story of the Editorial Department" and 40 episodes of "I Love My Home", Liang Zuo has watched it several times.

He is very interested in this new type of indoor sitcom, and he wants to write about it in the future.

Therefore, Liang Zuo readily agreed to Xuluo's request, and he should practice his own hands.

It is also strange to say that after Liang Zuo put pen to paper, he found that his inspiration was constantly emerging, and in just one month, he wrote 5 episodes of "The Story of the Editorial Department", and expanded the previous episodes.

"I Love My Home" was written for 10 more episodes, and then expanded at the same time.

The whole thing can't be said to be seamless, but it definitely makes Xuluo very satisfied.

Xuluo didn't give him the money for the book, because Liang Zuo refused to accept it.

For him, writing about this is just helping a friend.

Want to collect money for a friend?

Aren't you a humble man?

So Xuluo replaced a whole set of electrical appliances in his home, including TV dramas, refrigerators, washing machines, and even a 486 computer.

Everything is moved directly into the house, how do you say that Liang Zuo refuses?

Besides, seeing his wife and daughter so happy, how could he refuse?

There is also 486, as a literati, Liang Zuo is very willing to accept new things, not to mention that he is not old enough.

After consulting college students how to use it, Liang Zuo quickly used 486 - used to type and write manuscripts.

……

During the meal, Ge You, Zhang Guili and Liang Tian were not surprised when they saw that there was classmate Yu next to Xuluo.

It's not surprising that they've appeared together too often during this time.

Zhang Guili is a veteran, and he can see that the relationship between Xuluo and Yu Feihong is not so close, a bit similar to the pure love between boys and girls, and there must be no substantial progress.

It's not as good as Xuluo and Chen Xiaoxu before.

A discerning person can see at a glance that the relationship between the two of them is closer.

But Zhang Guili will never ask, let alone say.

He didn't even say a word to his wife.

There are some things that no one can say except yourself.

That's the best way to keep it secret.

Rip it back.

During the meal, Xuluo asked for the opinions of several people.

"Director......"

Ge You said: "There are a lot of good directors in the Pei Power Plant, but if you ask them to shoot and it is a private company, I'm afraid the factory has some scruples." ”

"Hey, what kind of power plant are you looking for?" Zhang Guili's mind was the most active: "Xiao Luo, look at the three of us, do you remember any movie?" ”

As soon as he reminded him, Xuluo immediately had an impression: ""The Stubborn Master"? ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Guili said: "Do you know the director of "The Stubborn Master", Mi Jiashan? It turned out to be from your Eying Studio. ”

"What is the original?" Xu Luo was surprised, "Isn't he still from Eying Studio?" ”

"Oh, you've been in Beijing for too long, you don't know yet, do you?" Zhang Guili said: "In March, he left Eying Studio, and it is said that he wanted to be an advertising company and shoot advertisements or something. ”

"Huh? How bold is he? Xuluo was surprised.

"Hehe, have you forgotten who his father was?" Zhang Guili said again.

Xuluo understood in an instant.

Mijiashan's father used to be the boss of Rongcheng!

With such a strong backer, he can naturally be a little willful.

Zhang Guili said: "Now that he has come out, and he is such an experienced director, why don't you invite him to do it?" ”

"Good!"

Xuluo's heart immediately became steady.

Since Mi Jiashan came out of Eying Studio to be a company, he naturally wants to make money.

Then this TV series that makes money in his old business, he will definitely not refuse.

The director's problem is solved, and all that remains is the actors.

Xuluo doesn't know much about many good actors in China.

Ge You's father came from Changying Studio and Shanghai Film Studio, and he has deep connections.

Zhang Guili has been wandering around for so many years, and he has also met many actors.

Liang Tian is also a famous actor - the younger brother of King Wu in "Fengshen Bang", isn't he the one who played it?

Therefore, it is necessary to listen to their opinions.

But before that, Ge You gave Xuluo another idea: "Xiaoluo, if you are angry, you can simply shoot "The Story of the Editorial Department" and "I Love My Home" together!" The crew had already run in well, and if they continue to shoot the second part, they will get twice the result with half the effort! ”

Xuluo nodded slightly, "That's a good idea...... I'll go back and think about it. ”

According to the shooting mode of the indoor sitcom of Miguo, the filming of the front may be a little slower, but if you are familiar with it, it is not a rush to shoot one episode a day.

23 episodes of "The Story of the Editorial Department" and 50 episodes of "I Love My Home", at this rate, can be filmed in a maximum of 4 months.

This saved Xuluo a lot of effort, so that he would not disband the team after filming "The Story of the Editorial Department", and then let them reunite next year.

Less tossing.

……

Note: Oh, I was able to rely on Editor-in-Chief Fu to connect "The Story of the Editorial Department" and "I Love My Home", and the two TV series echoed each other...... It's a waste for a talent like me not to be a gold medal producer!
