In Beijing, in the recording studio of Dashi Records, a subsidiary of Sea Butterfly Music.

Jinsha, who has just finished recording his second album "Incredible", is listening to the chatter of his agent.

"Sasha, last year, your debut album sold nearly 200,000 copies in three months, and it also won the sales championship of the Asia-Pacific Music Chart."

"After that, you collaborated with JJ to release "Summer Blown by the Wind", and it became a small hit in the music world again."

"Now many music fans are looking forward to your new album, and the company has decided to increase the promotion of your new album, and try to see if it can sell 500,000 albums this time!"

"If the sales of your album can exceed 500,000 copies, then we can also give you the title of marketing a new little diva!"

As the younger sister of Adu and Lin Junjie, Sands has enjoyed the top publicity of Haidie Music since the singer's debut.

She is the first mainland singer signed by Haidie Music.

Haidie also really wants to use Jinsha as the company's next sweetheart song, at least it was cultivated later by the mainland song.

And the effect is really good, the debut album sold more than 200,000 copies, and the duet love song with Lin Junjie also worked very well after the release.

It's just that Jinsha is a little absent-minded and doesn't seem to care much about his singer career.

"Sister Li, my TV series will be broadcast on Mango Channel next month, and there may be a lot of promotional activities to run by then, and there may not be time to record the MV."

"And I may have to join the new drama group at that time, I really can't spare time, can the release of the new album be delayed for a few months?"

Although Jinsha graduated from Xinghai Conservatory of Music and was born in vocal music, she actually loves acting more.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have run to play "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" in her freshman year.

It's just that after acting in this TV series, her career as an actor came to a standstill, and she was unexpectedly valued by Hai Die, so she picked up her career as a singer again.

Now that her actor career has restarted, and she is still on the edge of the big thick legs of the era of light and shadow, Jinsha only cares about how to develop her actor career, how can she still have time to sing.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

As a singer, although you can become a big star, it is possible to become an international superstar as an actor!

Take a look at the live broadcast of the Academy Awards a few days ago, and the actors and directors of China are shining on it!

Wu Yuan's movies are even bigger hits in Asia.

Under the influence of the popularity of Chinese movies in recent years, the status of actors in the entertainment industry has indeed increased a lot.

At the turn of the millennium, it was still recognized in the circle that singers were greater than actors, but now they have reversed, and the actors have become bigger than singers.

If it is possible, Sands will definitely want to fight more on the road of actors.

What if I act in Director Wu's movie in the future?

This is even more awesome than a single with JJ!

"TV series?" Sister Li, Jinsha's agent, frowned, she knew that "Fate I Love You" was going to be broadcast, but when Jinsha took over another TV series, she didn't know about it yet.

"A new TV series has been established in the era of light and shadow, and Mr. Li Jichang told me that Director Wu thinks that my image is also quite suitable for this TV series, and he asked me to play the heroine."

"This time I'm going to partner with Lin Zhiying from Taiwan Island!" A look of excitement appeared on Jinsha's face.

In the last TV series, he partnered with Lu Yi, a little student who exploded in the mainland, and this drama can partner with Lin Zhiying, a little whirlwind that is popular all over the Taiwan Strait.

It made her feel like she was in a dream.

This is also why Jinsha took the initiative to ask Li Jichang whether to sign an actor in the era of light and shadow.

She always felt that the era of light and shadow was so good to her, if she didn't sign into the era of light and shadow, she would have some conscience and not go!

In these years, how can any film and television company play the heroine to outsiders?

"Looking for you to play the heroine again?" Sister Li was also very surprised, Jinsha can play a film, it can be said that she has a friendship with Li Jichang, and someone will bring you once.

This is performed two times in a row, but it doesn't make sense to have a friendship with Li Jichang.

What background does this girl have, does she not know?

"Yes, yes." Jin Sha nodded happily, raised her chin, and was about to say something more with a smile, when the Nokia 6681 she endorsed for advertising suddenly rang.

After seeing who the caller was, she quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

"Uh-huh."

"Okay, I got it!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li!"

From Sister Li's point of view, Jinsha's small face after picking up the phone was visibly rosy to the naked eye, and her expression became more and more excited.

Without saying a few words, the phone was hung up.

"Ahhhh Jinsha screamed and pounced on Sister Li, holding her and jumping up excitedly.

"The Age of Light and Shadow wants to sign me!!"

"I'm going to become a contracted actor in the age of light and shadow!"

Sister Li was surprised for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her face.

Sea Butterfly Records does not do actor brokerage business, and they do not have any film and television resources to give to their artists.

Jinsha can sign in to the era of light and shadow by himself, which is also a good thing for Hai Butterfly.

After all, if the singer he signed can become popular on the road of being an actor, he can feed back the singer's career, which is a win-win situation.

The next day, Sands arrived alone at the headquarters building of the Age of Light and Shadow.

After signing the contract in the TV drama department, she also got her wish to meet the biggest boss of the era of light and shadow, the soul of the company, and the great director Wu Yuan.

Just in Wu Yuan's office, the nervous Jinsha saw Wu Yuan, who was sitting and drinking tea with Li Xiaoping.

"Don't be nervous, sit." Wu Yuan smiled and motioned for her to sit down.

"Actually, we didn't plan to do artist brokerage business in the light and shadow era." Wu Yuan poured a cup of tea for Jinsha and said slowly, "But I think you are a manufacturable material." ”

"Your image and temperament are a style that is very lacking in the film and television industry now, and I call it sweet girl style."

"Lin Yichen and Wang Xinlin from Taiwan Island are all actresses of this style."

"That's what Taidao said about the sweet girl, the sweet princess."

"The company will do a lot of idol dramas in the future, and your image and temperament are just very suitable for these idol dramas."

In the current mainland actor circle, there are indeed few actresses with a sweet girl style, and the only one who is relatively close, is Li Xiaolu, who became famous with "It's All Angels".

Therefore, Wu Yuan really feels that Jinsha is rare and has the value of signing.

But this is also what he did easily, the main line of the company's future development will not be the artist brokerage business.

Wu Yuan will sign a few actors who are a pity in his opinion, but they have not become popular but have characteristics.

It's just that Wu Yuan said a few words of praise casually, which sounded like a good reputation in Jinsha, her little face was flushed, and she nodded her little head hard, "I know Director Wu, I will work hard!" ”

"Hmm." Wu Yuan took a sip of tea and began to draw cakes: "Train in the field of idol dramas for a few years first, and if you have a suitable movie role in the future, I will also consider you." ”

"As for your agent and the supporting team, they will be ready for you within half a month."

"In the future, you will have two agents, you have to coordinate their relationship more in the middle, and you must also coordinate the career of singer and actor."

After Wu Yuan gave a few more instructions, he waved his hand: "Okay, that's all I have to tell you, continue to work hard in the future." ”

Facing Wu Yuan's atmosphere, Jin Sha, who didn't dare to breathe, only looked at Lian nodded: "Okay, I know." ”

"Well, let's go to Director Li to report, "The Star of the Sheep" will be launched next month."

Jin Sha hurriedly bowed to Wu Yuan and Li Xiaoping, left the office with light steps, and carefully closed the door for them when he left.

Glancing at the small teacup that she didn't dare to touch from beginning to end, Wu Yuan shook his head with a smile, reached out and poured out the cooled tea in the teacup, and continued the topic with Li Xiaoping that he hadn't finished talking about just now.

Of course, the two of them were not waiting for Sands in the office, but they were talking about another business.

"I read all the scripts received by the company yesterday, and there are indeed a few good seedlings." Wu Yuan said while sipping tea.

Since having that bizarre dream, although Wu Yuan's mood is not close to the 40-year-old self in the dream, he does still have some habits in the dream.

For example, I love to drink tea.

Meimei took a sip of the newly listed Ming Qian Longjing, and he continued: "There is a script that was voted by a teacher from Nortel's literature department, and it is a touching story between an autistic child and his father. ”

"I think this script is good, and it is a rare good story in the original script of mainland films."

"You can contact this teacher from Nortel's literature department, and the company can invest in her."

"Ocean Paradise, right?" Li Xiaoping nodded, she also read all the scripts submitted, and she basically had an impression.

"But this Teacher Xue has never been a director, she has always been a screenwriter, is it okay to let a screenwriter who has never studied directing at all direct this movie?" Li Xiaoping frowned and said with some disagreement.

If he didn't know that Xue Xiaolu did make this "Ocean Paradise" very well, Wu Yuan wouldn't believe that a director who changed from screenwriter to career could make a good movie as soon as he came up.

He understood Li Xiaoping's worries very well, but Wu Yuan still explained: "Our plan was originally to support new directors, after all, Mr. Xue graduated from Nortel and taught at Nortel, so she must have understood and learned a lot about directing." ”

"What she lacks now is an opportunity to practice, which is also the meaning of our young director support program, to give these young directors who have no opportunity to direct independently a chance to prove themselves."

"This script is very good, as long as it can be filmed, it shouldn't be bad."

"Okay." Li Xiaoping was reluctantly persuaded by Wu Yuan, who called Wu Yuan the current authority in the field of directing, as long as he said yes, it wouldn't work.

"And how many more places are there?" Li Xiaoping asked again.

"Li Ruijun's "Summer Solstice", Cheng Er's "The Third Man", and Han Yan's "Who Do I Dedicate My First Kiss To" can also be."

Wu Yuan pondered for a moment and said these three people again.

The support of these three is all based on their faces in the future in the mainland director circle.

Li Ruijun was later able to shoot "Hidden in the Dust", Cheng Er was able to shoot "The History of the Disappearance of Romantic", and Han Yan was able to shoot "Animal World" and "Get Out!" Tumor Jun".

These three directors all have the meaning of support, and they can all grow into excellent directors in China in the future.

Li Xiaoping recorded it in her notebook, but she didn't refute Wu Yuan's decision, but just asked again: "Is there anything else?" Or is it just these four? ”

"Of course." Wu Yuan glanced at her, four people are divided into 30 million, how can there be such a cool thing?

"There is a director named Li Yang, who was born in Chinese opera, just graduated two years ago, and he voted for a script called "Flowers", which was not bad."

"It's about a campus love story, but the background is in the university, so you can try to cast it."

This Li Yang is the pearl that Wu Yuan carefully unearthed from hundreds of submitted scripts.

Whether his directing level is good or not, it's uncertain now, but the screenwriting ability is really good.

To sum up in one sentence, although the title of this "Flowers" is very literary and artistic, it is actually full of the flavor of campus youth love movies such as "To Youth" and "You at the Same Table".

The main line of the story revolves around a college couple who have a crush on each other during college, and there were some misunderstandings along the way, and finally they got on again, but after graduation, the woman chose a better opportunity to study abroad, and when they finally met again, it was already ten years later.

The middle is also interspersed with classic youth film elements such as roommates prying the corners of the wall and rich sons chasing madly.

The story, as simple as it sounds, is indeed a very common campus couple experience in the nineties.

In the 90s, there were a large number of college students who chose to study abroad after graduation and never returned.

And the first sword of studying abroad is to cut the person you want first.

If you really want to shoot this script, Wu Yuan feels that it is interesting, at least it will attract a large number of post-70s generations to enter the cinema to recall their lost youth.

Why is a movie like "To Youth" a big hit, isn't it just catering to the audience's youth, if you really want to say that the story has many new ideas, many pain points, and more connotations, it is really nonsense.

Of course, the post-70s generation here are the ones who can be admitted to college in the 90s.

It doesn't matter, first support Li Yang to practice his hands, and then Wu Yuan can make a few more youth romance films that are more suitable for the post-80s physique for him to shoot to broaden the company's film market.

There's no way, Wu Yuan's current status and level are really not suitable to go back and make that kind of youth romance film, competing with Zhao Junqi, Su Youpeng and others, it's really a bit low.

He can only cultivate a horse boy to seize this cake in the era of the outbreak of youth romance films.

"There is also a director named Liu Meichuan who is not bad, Nortel graduated, it is my junior brother, he just graduated this year, and he actually made a suspense film book."

"That book is called "Don't Knock on the Door", it's very well written, and I feel oozing just by reading the script."

"However, this kind of horror and suspense movie is not easy to pass the trial in the mainland, so let's take it to Hong Kong Island to shoot when the time comes."

"Although suspense films are not easy to release in the mainland, they are relatively best-selling themes in the whole of Asia."

"As a film production company with a goal of Asia, Light and Shadow Times still needs to pay attention to the suspense and horror film market."

So far, Wu Yuan has set six directors to support the first phase of the Youth Film Support Program.

If nothing else, in the future, these six supported directors will also become Wu Yuan's six big horses, for him and for the era of light and shadow to compete in the Asian film market!

Three are mainly for literary films, and three are mainly for commercial films, and the configuration is very reasonable!

"Just follow this list to inform, six directors, five million per person, enough for them to shoot the script they submitted!" Wu Yuan smiled and instructed Li Xiaoping.
