Chapter 458: Auntie Says, Hurry Up and Help Me Shake People (Ask for Subscription)
Yang Jie preliminarily told Xuluo about the sequel to "Journey to the West", and Xuluo gave her a positive answer, and she was naturally reassured.
Then she was not in a hurry.
At least after the filming of "Bao Qingtian" is completed, she will specifically prepare for the sequel to "Journey to the West".
If there is a second "Bao Qingtian" to be filmed next year, "Journey to the West Sequel" can only be planned first, and filming can only wait until the year after tomorrow.
But there's no rush for this time.
Yang Jie still has to prepare well to make a perfect ending to this most representative TV series.
It's not good to be in a hurry.
But from now on, she can go and talk to the top management of CCTV, and she can ask the script creators to get busy, so that the four masters and apprentices can start exercising.
All in all, Yang Jie's affairs will increase a lot all of a sudden.
But she was very happy.
If you live in this life and can do what you like to do, you will live very quickly.
Xuluo was very happy that he paid 20 million for the shooting.
First of all, he really likes "Journey to the West", and he also feels that "Journey to the West" is incomplete and a pity.
In order for the children in the future to see the most complete "Journey to the West", Xuluo felt that his 20 million was purely a meritorious service, and he would be rewarded after his death.
Then, he gave 20 million yuan.
The renminbi earned by Xuluo in China cannot be used abroad, not in Hong Kong.
Therefore, various TV series sharing, instant noodle factories, etc., these incomes are a lot, and there will be more and more in the future.
It is useless to leave more money in your hands.
Now you spend RMB to buy the copyright of "Journey to the West Sequel" and sell it overseas, which is to charge Hong Kong dollars and US dollars!
Isn't that a good conversion?
One last point.
Xuluo is so generous to invest in Yang Jie, on the surface, it seems to be a loss, how can it not be a kind of "money to buy horse bones" behavior?
In the future, if the policy is liberalized, many directors and actors will come out to film, and they will inevitably face the solicitation of many film and television companies.
When everyone thinks about it, hey, the boss of Luohe Film and Television Company, Xu Luo, is a wonderful person, he doesn't care much about money, he respects directors and actors very much, and he is willing to lose money to help them fulfill their wishes...... With such a boss, I am filming TV series and movies under him, and my heart is also steady! I'm not afraid of being sold by him at all!
In any industry, character is very important, which is why so many people have to set up a person.
Sometimes, these things work more than money.
Having said that, Xuluo never thought in his life that he could actually participate in the filming process of the "Journey to the West" series.
Brother Monkey, Master, Second Senior Brother, Senior Brother Sha, those are all heroes he admired in his childhood.
When the time comes, you can go to the set to watch how they film, everyone talks and laughs together, and it is a beautiful scenery when you think about it!
But that was at least a year or two later.
Unconsciously, it has now stepped into December, which is the so-called cold winter wax moon.
December in BJ is already very cold and windy, and if you don't have protection, you can feel like your skin is torn apart when you stand on the street for an hour or two.
Fortunately, BJ's cold is dry and cold, and it will not be uncomfortable with humidity, but it is a little better than Sichuan.
Xuluo has seen two or three snowfalls, although all of them are light snow, but according to this situation, in the coldest time in late January, there will definitely be heavy snowfall.
For any southerner, that knee-high snow is a dream scenario.
However, for northerners, this kind of heavy snow is particularly annoying, inconvenient to travel, and prone to accidents.
Hundreds of people fall and fall every year because of snow.
In turn, they envy that there is no heavy snow in the south, that the ground is fresh and dry, and that they are all steady to walk.
Xuluo's side finally wrote "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" and sent it to Hong Kong to Jin Yong.

Jin Yong expressed his dissatisfaction with Xuluo's behavior of "not doing his job".
Because of the manuscript of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Xuluo still did not finish it, but maintained the range of 4,000 words per day without interruption.
At present, the manuscript in the hands of "Ming Pao" is only one month.
As long as Xuluo doesn't write a manuscript for a month, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" will have to be interrupted, which Jin Yong can't bear.
You must know that now the number of copies sold in Hong Kong alone has increased by more than 100,000 copies, all of which are brought by readers who want to read "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
Then in terms of publishing a single book of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Ming Pao Publishing House publishes two episodes a month, and now the average sales volume of each episode is 1 million copies, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore...... and so on.
This is a large amount of income, which already accounts for one-fifth of Ming Pao's monthly income, and of course Jin Yong likes it, and of course hopes to continue to write about it, rather than making extraneous branches.
As I said earlier, Jin Yong loves money.
However, when Jin Yong saw "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City", he was immediately fascinated.
According to what he said when he called Xuluo, he watched it three times in one go, and he didn't fall asleep for two nights of it, all thinking about the plot of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City".
Before Xuluo, some people had made movies related to tomb robbing, but these were all ugly and superficial tomb robbing, but it was not as good as Xuluo who wrote Captain Jinjin so well and so fascinating.
Xuluo meant to publish the first part quickly, but Jin Yong called Xuluo to persuade him.
Of course, the persuasion is to put "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" on "Ming Pao" and serialize.
Xuluo wrote "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" has a total of about 500,000 words, and the content of the TV series is written in detail, and some of his own insights have been added, and a lot of them have been deleted and added.
In Jin Yong's view, this is enough for Ming Pao to publish for another four months.
Not to mention Xuluo, "Ghost Blows the Lamp" is a series, and there are at least five more to be published in the future, if each one is so many words, wouldn't it be enough to be serialized for two years?
In recent years, the pressure on "Ming Pao" has been increasing, and those newspapers and magazines that engage in novelty have become more exaggerated and more popular with young people.
"Ming Pao", which tends to be an old-fashioned and orthodox newspaper, has gradually failed to keep up with the rhythm of young people, and their biggest readers are middle-aged people.
Now, "Ming Pao" published "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" at the beginning of this year, which immediately attracted many young people to buy "Ming Pao", and has successively increased the sales of more than 100,000 copies, most of which are given by young people.
There are only more than 5 million people in Hong Kong, how many young talents are there?
It can increase the reading share of more than 100,000 young people in one go, and "Ming Pao" seems to be the first in Hong Kong.
If "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp: The Essence of the Ancient City" is added, it is conceivable that "Ming Pao" can at least add another 100,000 readers!
In this way, the title of "Ming Pao" in Hong Kong can be implemented!
He will be able to make more money with Jin Yong!
Listening to Jin Yong's sanctimonious explanation to Xuluo, and promised to publish the first single book in a month, Xuluo felt that he could.
Publishing one month earlier and one month late will not hinder the fight for the original copyright, nor will it have a decisive impact.
Because judging from the ages of Xia Yu and Pan Yueming, the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series should be ten years later at the earliest, or even longer.
Otherwise, where is there a book written more than 20 years before starting to make movies and TV series?
……
Xuluo felt that he was also a tool man.
Every day we are carrying things of the future.
For example, the newly added "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" needs to be written, and "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" needs to be written with 5 million words.
In addition to that, there are so many TV series and movie scripts to write.
Every day's life is not only about writing, but also about accompanying three girlfriends, and talking on the phone with Aunt Thirteen, Sister Fairy, and Little Queen.
In addition, Sister Zhao also made a phone call in ten days and half a month, in the name of talking about things, the white lady was afraid of him, but she was amused by Xuluo while chatting, and she was reluctant to hang up the phone.
Now there's another sister with a spring water.
It's just that Sister Quanshui is not easy to deal with, and she said in three or two sentences that people hung up the phone directly, and there was no hesitation at all.
This aroused Xuluo's competitive spirit, and the frequency of phone calls to her increased a lot.
Xuluo didn't talk to her about any music, but simply chatted and talked, talked about the new things on BJ's side, and asked Sister Quanshui what happened in Tokyo...... Wait a minute.
It was also from Sakai Spring that Xuluo knew that although the ratings of "Xiangbang" were only maintained at around 20%, which was not considered top-notch, "Cooking the Eastern and Western Army" really added glory to TV Tokyo.
With 10 episodes and an average rating of 26.5%, it firmly occupied the first place in the time period, and it was also a program that 75% of housewives in Japan liked to watch.
Even the mother of Qingli's peerless young sister has to mention this variety show to her daughter on the phone.
Xuluo hurriedly said at the time, "I'll take my aunt to the scene to see it in the future", but Sakai Izumi disliked him for being too sycophant, and hung up the phone without replying.
There is personality!
I like it!
Of course, it's not just Sister Quanshui who has a personality, but also Xuluo's mother...... Mommy.
"Son, why didn't you come back sooner?" My aunt complained at the beginning of the phone, "Your sister is so good at making trouble, she is full of energy all day long, and she cries loudly, I can't stand it anymore...... Take her away and feed her! ”
Xuluo smiled and didn't dare to answer.
If he had brought his sister home, his mother would have rushed over and hung up and beaten her that night.
"Auntie, isn't there a nanny Aunt Luo at home! Just ask her for help when the time comes. Xuluo smartly went straight to the point, "Aren't you going to start preparing for the crew of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" in January?" Why are you still free to come to me! ”
"It's because of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" that I came to you!" Shen Qing came to the spirit over there, "I searched and found that many of our actors here in Sichuan still can't press the scene...... Son, can you find me a few heavyweight actors? ”
Shen Qing knows that Xuluo is very good at BJ, and BJ's actor reserve is the first in the country, and there are not as many other places as BJ, and it is not as good as BJ.
So when she encountered difficulties, she immediately remembered Xuluo.
In fact, as early as the second half of this year, Shen Qing began to make all kinds of preparations, such as script storyboards, such as inspecting whether various places are suitable for filming, and forming his own team, leasing and purchasing equipment, etc.
In addition, she has a newborn daughter to take care of, so the speed is not fast.
In November, she began to ponder actors everywhere.
After thinking about it, I found some in Eying Studio, some in West Film Studio, and some in Hunan Film Studio, but I always felt that the weight was not enough, and I couldn't make the temperament of the whole play stand up, even if I added the very handsome Hong Kong actor Lu Songxian.
"Is it just a lack of weighty actors?" Xu Luo smiled and asked, "Auntie, who is the little junior sister you chose?" ”
Shen Qing said: "Your friend Chen Xiaoyi, how is it?" ”
"She?"
A beautiful face flashed in Xuluo's mind, and he nodded: "She is quite suitable to be a junior sister." ”
Shen Qing became proud: "Ren Yingying, you don't know who I choose, right?" ”
Xuluo remembered a goblin: "Fu Yiwei? ”
"It's not."
"Jiang Shan?"
"Not even more!"
"You can't choose Liu Xiaoqing, right?"
"Phew! Nonsense, is this age right? Shen Qing complained first before saying, "I chose your little girlfriend." ”
Xuluo: "! ”
He was startled and said cautiously: "Concubine Yu? ”
"Do you have a third?" Shen Qing's voice raised.
She brought up Xuluo since she was a child, how could she not know Xuluo's personality and habits?
Seeing that this kid was a little hesitant to speak, he hesitated for a moment, obviously thinking about the girl's name.
If there were only two, would he need that?
Xuluo firmly denied it, "There is no such thing...... Mom, how do you understand your daughter-in-law? ”
Look!
Reborn people are also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and when they meet a specific person, they still shoot on the back!
Shen Qing snorted coldly before saying, "I just said let her come, and she agreed, does she dare to resist?" ”
And so it is.
Two days ago, Shen Qing called Mi Jiashan's crew and asked Yu Feihong to pick it up.
The staff relayed that "Xuluo's aunt is looking for you".
When Yu Feihong answered the phone in fear, Shen Qing said, "Auntie has a drama "Smiling Proud Jianghu" looking for you to be the protagonist, and filming will start after the Spring Festival in February, do you have time?" ”
"Yes! Can come! ”
This is Concubine Yu's answer for the rest of her life after the catastrophe, and the answer is very simple.
Yu Feihong was busy filming and going to school, and it was not yet time to date her boyfriend, so she hadn't had time to tell Xuluo yet.
Xu Luo thought about it, and this is also the reason, classmate Yu is bold, but it also depends on who is right.
For her future husband's aunt in the family, she definitely didn't dare to be arrogant.
Classmate Yu is so beautiful and has a heroic spirit, it is really good to play Ren Yingying.
Auntie's vision is indeed good.
"Now I've basically found the most important protagonist, but there are still a few powerful actors missing." Shen Qing continued: "For example, Yue Buqun, for example, Yu Canghai, for example, Dongfang Undefeated, for example, let it go, for example, Zuo Lengchan, for example, Tian Boguang...... Wait a minute. ”
"Dongfang is undefeated, which version are you ready to use?" Xuluo immediately became interested.
Shen Qing said angrily, "I don't use your version, it's disgusting!" I'll just find a normal, undefeated in the East! ”
She is a very orthodox academy student, and she must not be used to seeing the Xuluo Demon change to the undefeated East.
Although Lin Qingxia's version of Dongfang Undefeated is very beautiful, this is very different from the original, and Shen Qing doesn't like it.
"I see."
Xu Luo shook his head when he heard this, "Auntie, don't worry, leave it to me!" I'll contact you before the Spring Festival, and they will come to Chengdu to film after the New Year! ”
"It's too late before the Spring Festival, you let them come to Chengdu in January, and I'm going to take a look at it myself." Shen Qing said, "You can get a round-trip plane ticket~~"
Xuluo has a lot of money, but she doesn't have a lot of money.
If you want other actors to come all the way to Chengdu, do you want them to come by train?
It's been four or five days to come and go, who can afford to toss?
Two ticket money, you can solve the problem, and you can show sincerity, how good is that?
Anyway, my son's money is not distressing to use~~
"Okay, I'll try!"
Xuluo could only agree.
He is such an aunt, of course he has to take care of one or two.
What's more, for a young person, it is very proud to be able to help his elders.
Putting down the phone, Xuluo began to ponder.
It's already early December, and I have to find all the people in January and bring them to my aunt, so I have to hurry up.
Those veteran actors and actresses didn't come as soon as you called them.
In addition to giving enough money, the most important thing is that the script is good enough, and then your attitude is respectful enough.
It's like something, people won't pay attention to you at all.
As for the script, it is more reassuring, Jin Yong's martial arts masterpieces, many people will be interested.
Although there are many actors in BJ and many good actors, if you let Xuluo think like this for a while, it is really not easy for him to come up with any good role candidates.
However, in Hong Kong, there are a lot of actors in this kind of characteristic costume role, which is quite easy to handle.
But after thinking about it, Xuluo still decided not to look for Hong Kong actors.
There are so many good actors in our mainland, unless they are forced to do so, why should they go to Hong Kong?
Take the current first actor of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" Ling Hu Chong, if it weren't for Lu Songxian's too deep impression on Xuluo, Xuluo might not have looked for him.
So even if the heroine of the original version was so beautiful, Xuluo didn't bother to invite her over.
Now that the heroine is his girlfriend, isn't that good!
Well...... I don't know who my aunt chooses to play Mrs. Yilin.
Anyway, my little queen is quite suitable, and now the little queen is cute and cute, and she is very cute.
Sins, sins, sins!
If she were to play a nun, Ryoko Shinohara, she would definitely cry to herself, right?
Unconsciously, Xuluo's thoughts diverged like this, and the business was temporarily put aside.
