"Children of Time and Space" is certainly a big IP that has attracted much attention, and it is a big project that many first-line actors hope to participate in.

But Huang Kairen is also the kind of actor that any project craves.

The IP of "Son of Time and Space" is so large that it is destined to be unable to do a non-commercial project, and in the current Chinese film and television market, who else can confidently say that it is more popular than Huang Kairen?

Huang Kairen has reached the top, and his acting skills have always been recognized.

Such an actor takes the initiative to want to act, and even if the other party can't make a decision at the moment, he won't just disappear and not reply.

Lu Yanhe was surprised.

However, Huang Kairen's inquiry seems to be a beginning.

The next day, a lot of news suddenly appeared on the Internet about Lu Yanhe starring in "Children of Time and Space".

Lu Yanhe was at a loss, and asked Chen Ziyan in the screenshot.

Chen Ziyan said that she didn't know what was going on and was contacting the drama party of "Children of Time and Space".

At noon, the official response of the "Child of Time and Space" web drama has not yet started, thank you for your attention.

The content of the response is simple, in fact, it is to deny the news that Lu Yanhe is going to star.

As a result, this news attracted ridicule again - many people thought that Lu Yanhe was hyping up and wanted to bind himself to "Children of Time and Space" to raise his worth.

Chen Ziyan had to send a screenshot of the chat record between herself and Lu Yanhe to clarify: We all love the story of "Children of Time and Space", so we will not deliberately "rub" or "hype".

It's an attitude.

Fortunately, at this time, the official of the "Child of Time and Space" web drama left a message under Chen Ziyan's news, saying: Ms. Chen contacted us in the morning and asked if there was any intention to cooperate, so as not to make everyone happy if it was fake news.

"I didn't expect that inviting Mr. Jiang to draw a cover for us would cause such a big storm." Chen Siqi had palpitations.

Lu Yanhe said: "I don't know how the rumors came out. ”

Chen Siqi said: "It may be that some marketing accounts are deliberately made for the sake of popularity. ”

In the Internet era, many people live by popularity and traffic - whether it's true or not, traffic can be monetized. So, all kinds of news are flying all over the sky, suspected, it is said, according to insiders, and so on.

Lu Yanhe said: "In the past, high-status talents had the right to speak, but now who has the channel to speak has the right to speak. ”

Chen Siqi heard Lu Yanhe say this, thoughtfully.

Chen Siqi said: "I heard that some brokerage companies have cultivated hundreds of marketing accounts. ”

"That's too scary, is it specially for their artists to control comments and make data?"

"Maybe, you Star Entertainment must have it too."

"I've never seen it." Lu Yanhe said, "Maybe Sister Ziyan knows." ”

Chen Siqi said: "I forgot to tell you one thing, I sent you a box of postcards of "Jump Up", specially designed by Yilong, after you receive it, write one to Teacher Jia Long, express your gratitude, and when the time comes, I will give you the address, and you send it to Teacher Jia Long together with the second issue of "Jump Up". ”

Lu Yanhe knew that Chen Siqi was specially left for him.

"Okay."

How far can a magazine go? In such an era, no one knows. Because I don't know, I'm full of all kinds of imagination.

After the end of the newsstand era, people now buy books and magazines almost exclusively through the Internet.

After the hot sale of the first issue, in fact, some people told Chen Siqi that its popularity was short-term, because of everyone's curiosity about a new thing, and it was the effect of a few stars that drove sales, and it happened to be sent by Yu Jiang at that time A wave of popularity, in this case, so far, this book has actually only sold 90,000 copies of physical books and 50,000 copies of e-books, which has shown that it cannot be sold for a long time.

If any book has such publicity, it will sell at least 300,000 copies, which is a super bestseller.

But in the face of these statements, Chen Siqi was unmoved. "Jumping Up" was the best thing she did in college, and it was the first thing she made in her life, and she couldn't give up because of these voices.

Chen Siqi discusses with Lin Yu, Xu Zijun, and Xu Mingyue almost every day, what kind of topic selection and planning can be done in the future of this book, the key is to let readers stay and let more readers read this book.

In the second issue, there are famous comedians like Jia Long, as well as two popular idol stars such as Li Zhibai and Lu Yanhe, which is actually enough.

Chen Siqi said in the editorial team group: Let's not wait for Huang Kairen's article, set aside this page for "Assassinate Me".

Linyu: To "Assassinate Me"? This is also a submission received from the submission mailbox, although it is very good, but the author is unknown, and we have a lot of newcomers' manuscripts in this issue.

Linyu was a little worried that this would have an impact on the sales of the second phase.

Chen Siqi said: The readers who bought the first issue are more or less coming to the gimmick, and the second issue is likely to decline in sales, we have to be psychologically prepared for this, there are already three star artists, if you add it, one-third of the authors in this issue are star artists, if we continue to do this, then our own readers will not be able to cultivate, when one day, we can no longer invite this level of stars to write for us, then sales will not fall off a cliff? So, while we may experience a short-term drop in sales, we have to nurture our own readers.

Linyu: Why did you leave that page for "Assassinate Me"? We have also received manuscripts from well-known writers and teachers.

Chen Siqi: Because I want to give everyone the impression that "Jump Up" is a place where new talents can be discovered and writers can be cultivated, and in the future, I also want to control this ratio, at least one-third of the manuscripts in each issue are from newcomers, unless the quality of the manuscripts is really not good.

Linyu: OK, then I understand, if that's the case, then the manuscripts we received in the submission mailbox are really not enough at all, and this issue has almost been published.

Chen Siqi: I hope that after the second issue is launched, more authors can be driven to submit, this is just one of my hopes, there is really no manuscript, of course, do not reduce the quality of manuscripts for the sake of this ratio.

-

"Jump Up" releases a message about the second issue almost every few days.

When Lu Yanhe finished recording the third issue of "City Travel", "Jump Up" announced that the second issue would publish the first article created by Li Zhibai, "You can't be cowardly when you should confess!" 》。

Li Zhibai's fans were stunned.

Ha?

In the first issue, Li Zhibai wrote an article to support the magazine edited by Lu Yanhe, so why did he start writing it?

The main reason is that Li Zhibai usually doesn't seem to be a person who loves to read and write, but now he has actually made up an article, they really don't know how to react, and they always feel weird.

Yu Jiang also came out again at this time: It's really, I was just making magazines before, but now I'm looking for celebrities to write about it, and the magazine "Jump Up" is specially made to fool fans with money, right?

"Jump Up" does not respond in any way.

Zhou Ping'an's reaction was great.

He called Li Zhibai, who was filming in the crew, "Why did you write something to them again?" Now the Internet is mocking you, you know? ”

Li Zhibai didn't know what Zhou Ping'an was talking about, he complained directly: "What are you talking about?" I'm about to film, don't bother me if you don't have anything serious. ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Zhou Ping'an was so angry that he smoked. However, Li Zhibai is used to this virtue, and there is no way to take him.

Although he hung up Zhou Ping'an's phone without saying anything, Li Zhibai still looked on the Internet and found out what was going on.

Seeing that many people were questioning him, he was speechless and posted a message: What's wrong with the celebrity artist? Can't a celebrity artist write? How high is the threshold for writing?

As soon as the news was released, he threw his phone aside and was summoned by the director to film.

Li Zhibai was not fully prepared for this temporary rescue scene, but he was too lazy to prepare, anyway, he felt whatever he felt on the scene, but the director felt that he acted well.

Li Zhibai didn't know where the good came from, but after saying so, of course he accepted it. He never consumed himself.

As a result, when he remembered to look at his phone, his news was hotly searched.

There is another hot search entry: Li Zhibai doesn't know the height of the sky.

Some people, led by Yu Jiang, bluntly said that they were insulted by Li Zhibai's words.

Yu Jiang bombarded Li Zhibai: How low is the threshold for writing, can you call it just writing something?

Other people's speeches almost all mean the same thing, referring to Li Zhibai's disrespect for creation and family.

Li Zhibai was dumbfounded, and at the same time, a sentence came out of his head: As for it?

Looking at it again, Zhou Ping'an missed three consecutive calls were hanging on his mobile phone.

Li Zhibai has a black line.

It's not a matter of a day or two that Li Zhibai is easy to say the wrong thing, and he is often scolded because of this.

Li Zhibai has a lot of freedom and freedom of "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water", and he doesn't care about being scolded.

However, he didn't want to affect "Jump" because of his speech.

After a moment of entanglement, he made a rare apology, saying: I said the wrong thing, I was beaten upright, and I apologized to all those who were offended by my inappropriate speech. Explain, I posted a news, I never thought that the threshold for writing was very low, it meant that everyone could write, I was just stimulated by some people who laughed at me for writing, so I had that kind of speech, I think, anyone has the right to write, right? Although I am an artist, I also have a dream, so I guess it is okay.

-

"It's really not easy, it's rare to see Li Zhibai apologize."

Lu Qingzhen has worked in the company for so many years, and often sees Li Zhibai saying the wrong thing on the hot search, but rarely sees Li Zhibai apologize.

Chen Ziyan: "He saw that things were a bit big and didn't want to affect "Jump Up". ”

Lu Qingzhen glanced at Chen Ziyan with a smile and said, "If you had chosen him to take him under you, wouldn't it have been better?" ”

"Not suitable." Chen Ziyan shook her head, "He is the kind of typical thorn, the agent can't control him, although his heart is good and his conduct is good, but there are a lot of troubles, I want to really take him, the same is a small quarrel for three days, a big quarrel for five days, don't look at Zhou Ping'an has a lot of contradictions with him, and he makes a lot of trouble, but Zhou Ping'an is a person who can tolerate his temper." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Li Zhibai disobeys discipline, Zhou Ping'an looks tough, in fact, he never comes hard with Li Zhibai, he is still somewhat afraid of his family background, and he is so popular now, watching people put dishes is what Zhou Ping'an is best at, I am not so good at it, I can pretend for a while, but I can't pretend for a lifetime."

"Haha, what you say, I don't know if you're praising Zhou Ping'an or sarcastic."

"In this matter, I am praising him." Chen Ziyan smiled, "He still has his merits." ”

"That's too, you see Ma Zhiyuan, he had such a big trouble with him before, and now he is slowly being controlled." Lu Qingzhen said, "I am really convinced of this, Ma Zhiyuan's thorn is not easier to deal with than Li Zhibai, but Zhou Ping'an has a way." ”

"Is Ma Zhiyuan making some trouble again?"

"When won't he make trouble?" Lu Qingzhen rolled her eyes, "I originally helped him talk about business, a top luxury regional spokesperson in the Asia-Pacific region, but he refused, saying that he would either be a global spokesperson or a full-line spokesperson, I really wanted to splash a cup of coffee on his face, it was really a brain in the water, and he made a lot of nonsense, and then Zhou Ping'an got him." ”

Chen Ziyan shook her head, "This is true, if he doesn't change his character, sooner or later he will suffer a big loss and make a big mistake." ”

Lu Qingzhen: "We all said so, by the way, there have been a lot of businesses coming to Xiaolu recently, but you still refuse to accept it?" ”

Chen Ziyan said: "Except for big brands, all FMCG categories are not accepted, and there is no need to consume him. ”

Lu Qingzhen said: "The big brands have basically been carved up by various star artists, and they don't do endorsement cooperation, just business cooperation, and they are not worthy of Lu Yanhe's identity, so they can only wait for which spokesperson expires, and then consider Xiao Lu, and then strive for it, but Xiao Lu has no works now, which is a hard injury." ”

"It's okay, the work will come soon." Chen Ziyan said.

She glanced down at the time, "No, I have to go, I still have an appointment to meet." ”

"Okay, we'll talk next time." Lu Qingzhen nodded and went back to the company.

Chen Ziyan changed places and went to a nearby bookstore.

Because she arrived ten minutes early, she first browsed the bookstore and saw a book called "I Work as a Tutor on the Upper East Side", which she thought was very interesting, so she took it to the checkout, and happened to meet two girls in school uniforms and asked, "Boss, is there still "Jump Up"?" ”

The boss said, "Yes, it's there." ”

The two girls passed with a relieved expression on their faces, and their faces were full of joy.

Chen Ziyan was a little surprised and asked: "Is "Jumping Up" still selling so well now?" ”

"It's selling okay, although it's not as hot as it was at the beginning, but people come to buy it every day." The cashier glanced at the book in Chen Ziyan's hand and asked, "There are also many people who come to buy this book in your hand." ”

"Oh, is it? I just looked at the bookshelf and thought it was interesting, so I wanted to buy a copy. Chen Ziyan handed it to her to settle the bill, "Help me order another cup of American." ”

"Okay."

Chen Ziyan went to the rest area and found a seat by the window to sit down.

Tear open the plastic cover and wait for someone to read it.

After a while, Liu Bige came.

"Hey." Liu Bige greeted her.

Chen Ziyan stood up, shook his hand, and said, "What are you drinking?" ”

Liu Bige: "I just drank coffee, no need for it." ”

Liu Bige sat down opposite Chen Ziyan.

"I've heard of it for a long time." Liu Bige said.

Chen Ziyan smiled and waved her hand, "Producer Liu returned to China last year?" ”

"Yes." Liu Bige nodded.

Chen Ziyan said: "Shang Yongzhou mentioned to me that he met you when he was attending a film festival in France, right? ”

Liu Bige nodded and laughed, "Do you know Shang Yongzhou too?" ”

"I was his agent before." Chen Ziyan explained, "It's unfortunate that I had to accompany him to France the few times I went to France, but because of all kinds of accidents, I didn't make it, otherwise we would have known each other a long time ago." ”

"I'm just a shooting assistant over there." Liu Bige said, "It's not too late to know now, there is still fate, and now I know Lu Yanhe." ”

"Yes, Yan He told me, you sent him a script, I was still surprised, I have to admit that Yan He is not very recognized as an actor now, after all, there are no works to meet with you so far."

Liu Bige said: "I also met him by chance and thought it was appropriate. ”

"I heard, you want to adapt one of his classmates?"

"Yes, we've been talking about it for the past two days." Liu Bige said, ""Miss Ning" is not a project led by me, it was made by my friend in a congratulatory letter, but because the script was written by the two of us together, I am also helping him do this, I have already sent him Lu Yanhe's materials, and he is still in France." ”

Chen Ziyan nodded and asked, "Do you plan to release this movie in China?" ”

"Of course, after all, we are making a Chinese-language film, not an English-language film." Liu Bige said, "I am now in Longyan Pictures, if nothing else, the domestic investors and distributors will be in charge of Longyan Pictures." ”

"Oh, really? That's really a coincidence, I happen to be friends with Mr. Huang and Mrs. Huang. Chen Ziyan smiled in surprise, "But this kind of independent film is generally not the type of film that Long Yan will do, and now he has begun to pay attention to this genre?" ”

Liu Bige said: "Mainly because of the impact of global streaming media on the traditional film and television industry, Longyan Pictures is also ready to produce corresponding content for international streaming, so it also found me and is willing to help me make independent films." ”

A work like "Miss Ning" is released in theaters, unless it wins an award, it is difficult to recover the cost at the theater box office. It is the same in foreign countries, where in the past they mainly relied on the copyright of various countries to make money. Now the emergence of streaming media has also given many art films a living space, and the gameplay of streaming media is different from the theater box office.

"But actually, it's not an independent film." Liu Bige also said, "The term independent film itself is a film that is different from the producer system of big film companies, or in other words, it is more accurate to direct films by authors." After all, Longyan Pictures can't be said to be an independent film production company. ”

"Hmm." Chen Ziyan nodded, "Is "Miss Ning" ready to be launched on streaming media overseas? ”

Liu Bige nodded and said: "Except for our country and a few specific regions in France, other regions should be released on streaming media, otherwise, there will definitely be no streaming media willing to provide production funds." ”

"Didn't you say that you were looking for Long Yan to provide it?"

"They can't provide it all." Liu Bige said, "On the one hand, it is all provided by Longyan, which is relatively risky, although the production cost of this film will not be very high, but it will be at least about 10 million, and the other aspect is that we want to attract more powerful streaming media investment overseas, which can also help us promote the film overseas." ”

Chen Ziyan understood the difference and nodded.

"Is the heroine decided?" Chen Ziyan asked.

Liu Bige shook his head and said, "Not yet, and still looking for it." ”

Chen Ziyan said: "Will auditions be organized? Still is? ”

Liu Bige said: "If you don't find a suitable candidate, you will organize an audition. ”

Chen Ziyan said: "I listened to Yan He's introduction to this script, and I think the other actress I brought is suitable, if you are interested, you can take a look at her." ”

Liu Bige was a little surprised.

He didn't expect Chen Ziyan to recommend an actor to him today.

"Wen Minglan, you may have seen her news on the Internet." Chen Ziyan said, "Please believe me, the news about her disrespect on the Internet is absolutely untrue." ”

Liu Bige did hear the name.

"Okay, then I'll go back and look at her profile." He said.

Chen Ziyan directly took out a USB flash drive and said: "This is her information, and there is a collection of her past performance experience." ”

Liu Bige was surprised, "Sure enough, it's an agent." ”

Chen Ziyan: "There is no way, for the sake of your own actors, you must be ready to recommend her to you at any time." ”

Liu Bage asked curiously: "Does Yan He also have such information?" ”

Chen Ziyan nodded: "Yes, although Yan He has not officially met with you yet, he has already filmed a "Golden Age", and I also asked the crew for some materials and made a material. ”

Liu Bige asked, "Can you give me a copy?" I also need to introduce Lu Yanhe to the congratulatory letter. ”

Chen Ziyan: "Of course. ”

-

Regarding the accusation of Wen Minglan in "Three Forks", Chen Ziyan only replied with four words: a bunch of nonsense.

At the same time, at this time, some revelations about the current filming status of the crew of "Three Forks" have popped up on many forums on the Internet.

For example, the salary arrears of the group performance, such as the shooting scene is very chaotic, the management is very bad, and the efficiency is low.

These messages may be true or false, but they have caused a lot of trouble for "Three Forks".

For example, the investors of this drama, Icefield Video and Explorer Pictures.

Because of the recent turmoil caused by this drama, the stock prices of the two listed companies, Icefield Video and Explorer Pictures, have also been affected.

They sent investigators into the crew.

This investigation really found some problems - it is impossible for any crew to be without problems.

But this question has a certain meaning of "family ugliness should not be publicized". There are obvious problems with many of the crew's expenditures. For example, a pair of gloves for the heroine cost 24,000 yuan. This is just one example, and in many ways it shows that the crew has a lot of money in their pockets.

The problem of funding is a big problem, and even worse problems have also been discovered, many people have reacted, the director is not on the scene most of the time, many scenes are filmed by the assistant director, so far, the shooting progress is far lower than expected, a calculation, if you want to finish filming this drama normally, at least an additional investment of 30 million will be required.

Icefield Video and Explorer Pictures were shocked when they learned about these problems. It is not uncommon for many directors to make money blindly and frantically through one project after another, but it is really rare to do something like "Three Forks". If it weren't for Wen Minglan's affair breaking out and attracting their investigation of the crew, these problems might not be found until the middle and late stages when they were underfunded and began to ask them to add funds, and by that time, hundreds of millions of costs had been invested, how could it be possible not to add the 30 million, wouldn't it be rotten in their own hands? In many cases, investors are so difficult to ride the tiger that they have to "aggrieved" to add funds.

Just when there were still many people on the Internet arguing about the dispute between Wen Minglan and the crew of "Three Forks", Icefield Video and Explorer Pictures suddenly issued a joint statement that because of the improper management of the crew of "Three Forks", the producer and director of this project will be replaced, causing an uproar on the whole network.

-

"Is Chen Ziyan's energy so terrifying?" Even Meng Li was stunned after seeing the news, "I actually changed the producer and director directly." ”

Mengli's agent Li Xia immediately shook her head and said: "No matter how great her energy is, it is impossible to directly replace the producer and director of a project with an investment of hundreds of millions, Wen Minglan has already left the crew, there must be something wrong with the project itself, otherwise it is impossible for Icefield Video and Explorer Pictures to do this kind of self-cutting arm, they have been filming for more than a month, and the producer and director are suddenly changed at this time." ”

"What could be wrong?" Meng Li asked.

"Who knows, maybe it's embezzlement." Li Xia is obviously very clear about these twists and turns in the film and television industry, "Lina is going to be laughed at next week." ”

-

The dialogue between Meng Li and Li Xia is just a microcosm of this matter in the film and television industry.

There is almost no one who doesn't know about "Three Forks" anymore.

And it is difficult to have an impermeable wall in this industry, and the producers and directors of "Three Forks" embezzled production funds soon came out.

Chen Ziyan and Lu Yanhe knew about it almost at the same time.

And the reason why Lu Yanhe knew about it almost at the same time as Chen Ziyan was because of Liu Bige's relationship.

Liu Bige came to find Lu Yanhe, and it happened that Liu Bige heard about it and told him.

Liu Bige said: "It's a real cow, it is said that two people swallowed 30 million in one go. ”

"So much?" Lu Yanhe's eyes widened in disbelief, "No, the cost is outrageous, it seems that he also signed a yin and yang contract with Zhou Lina's agent, and by falsely reporting the salary with Bingyuan Video and Explorer Pictures, the three of them shared the salary of fifteen million, and Zhou Lina herself was kept in the dark." ”

Lu Yanhe was shocked.

"Tsk." Liu Bige sighed, "Or they can play." ”

Lu Yanhe asked, "What about this situation?" ”

"Force them to pay back, or call the police." Liu Bige said, "If you don't find out about this, forget it, you will find out, and if you don't obediently spit out the money, black and white, you will deal with them in all kinds of ways." ”

It was the first time Lu Yanhe had heard of this kind of thing, and he was a little surprised.

Liu Bige: "It is estimated that a few of them will hate Wen Minglan to death, if it weren't for Wen Minglan's affairs, they wouldn't have been exposed for doing these things." ”

"If you swallow so much money in the middle, it won't be exposed?"

"Do the accounts, such a big crew, it's too easy to do the accounts, the accounts are done beautifully, the scenes are filmed, who can hold them accountable?" Liu Bige said, "Domestic film and television projects are really not short of money, anyway, as long as the project can be made, there is a high probability that it will make money, and it is not a movie, the movie is clearly marked at the box office, and the drama is a completely different way of playing."
