The day I got married with a big star

Chapter 761 Encounter with Senior Sister
Xu Jie looked at the female member who spoke, and frowned involuntarily. He seriously suspected that the other party was making fun of him, but there was no evidence.

Why do you think so?
Even though he is the screenwriter and director of "Lovers in Time and Space", in fact, he doesn't have much confidence in the box office of this movie. Now the other party proposes to turn this movie into a TV series. Isn't it just a joke?
If the other party is serious, they should wait until the movie "Lovers in Time and Space" is released, and it will be reasonable to propose a TV series after it has gained a good reputation and high box office.

But now, it is impossible to know whether the movie is good or bad. Once the content is not accepted by the audience, the compensation was originally only 7000 million, and now there is a lot of money to be added.

At that time, his fame in the first life will really be ruined.

"Mr. Xu, I'm not joking. Everyone has discussed it several times." Zhou Xiuxiu, a member of the female department, said solemnly.

"Oh? Then what is your basis? You don't want to flatter me, do you?" Xu Jie asked, he was very concerned about the "everyone" that the other party said.

Since it is everyone, it means that there are many people who have this idea, not the other party alone.

If it is true, he wants to know why everyone has such an idea, if it is false, he will expose the other party's lies in person.

"We don't mean to flatter you, but after reading the script of "Lover in Time and Space", I feel that the history of female number two's ascendancy is very exciting. If we can film this process in more detail, it will definitely attract more people. There has always been a market for inspirational dramas in ancient costumes like this kind of heroine's counterattack." Zhou Xiuxiu said seriously.

Oh?
Xu Jie was slightly taken aback, but he didn't expect that the other party could really tell the reason.

"You mean to separate the story of the female number two?" Xu Jie asked.

"Yes, although the movie has not yet been released, but with Mr. Xu's screenwriting ability and the box office appeal of his sister-in-law and Liu Qing, I think word-of-mouth and box office will be very good. If the TV series can be released on TV after the movie is released If it is aired, the ratings will also take advantage of the popularity of the movie."

The more Zhou Xiuxiu talked, the more excited she became, as if she had seen the box office hit of the movie and the ratings of the TV series skyrocketed.

However, there was no expression on Xu Jie's face, because there was a premise for all the other party said, that is, the movie was a big hit.

If the box office of the movie is not good, and the word of mouth is not good, all this described by the other party is just a daydream.

"You think it's useless, I want the audience to think so. Besides, filming a TV series is not a small project, and it costs at least hundreds of millions. Once the movie's box office hits the hips, the TV series will also be unlucky. You can't just think for the better. , but also think in the wrong direction." Xu Jie reminded.

"Bad? Mr. Xu, no matter how bad your script is, can it still be worse than ours?" Zhou Xiuxiu said with a wry smile.

It was precisely because everyone couldn't think of any good scripts that they felt that if Mr. Xu's movie could be adapted into a TV series, it would definitely be very interesting.

Xu Jie was taken aback for a moment. Although what he said was flattering, it seemed to be true.

Take the three scripts I read just now, which one has more exciting story content than the one he wrote?No.

If the script of "Lover in Time and Space" is added to these three scripts and let him choose, then he will choose his own script without hesitation.

It's not how confident he is, but his scripts are more interesting.

"Mr. Xu, if you don't have time, you can entrust us with the adaptation work. With your script, I believe that the script of the TV series will take shape in a short time. Another important point is that you don't think you have much time. ?The shooting of movies and TV dramas can be seamlessly connected, which invisibly speeds up the efficiency of shooting, and maybe it can be broadcast at the end of the year." Zhou Xiuxiu said.

Xu Jie looked at the other party, usually he was the one who reasoned with others, but he did not expect to be reasoned out by the other party today.

However, he was really a little tempted.

Original and adaptation, the adaptation must take less time, not to mention that with his script as the framework, all that is needed is to stretch the story.

"How about this..." Xu Jie thought for a while, looked at Zhou Xiuxiu and said, "You, find a few more people, and I will give you a week to revise my script. If the effect is good, this project will be finalized. Screenwriter I will also entrust you with the job, if the change is not good, quickly and honestly rewrite the script, do you hear me?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu." Zhou Xiuxiu stood at attention and said seriously, "I'm going back to organize people." After speaking, she left like a gust of wind.

The other two also left, leaving only Xu Jie and Qian Cheng in the office.

"Old Qian, did they really talk about turning my film into a TV series?" Xu Jie looked at Qian Cheng and said.

"Say, I said it." Qian Cheng replied with a guilty conscience, and then added two words "a fart" in his heart, which together meant he said a fart.

At least he never heard it from the ministry.

But Zhou Xiuxiu is from the creative department, so he can't tear down his own platform, can he?So I can only lie.

No, this can't be called lying. After all, he can't be with the team members 24 hours a day. He doesn't know whether everyone discussed it in private.

"Keep an eye on Zhou Xiuxiu. Also, from today on, all members of the creative department will be mobilized to write TV drama scripts, whichever has the most audience. Let me reiterate, there is no need to consider the production cost. I will Find a way." Xu Jie instructed.

"Yes!"

Xu Jie returned to his office and handed over the script and related materials about the second female lead of "Lover in Time and Space" to Zhou Xiuxiu. He wanted to see how the other party could change the script.

Qian Cheng approached Zhou Xiuxiu immediately after Mr. Xu left.

"Xiuxiu, what you said to Mr. Xu just now, is it true, or are you lying? You tell me the truth, and I won't tell Mr. Xu." Qian Cheng asked in a low voice.

If it's true, it's okay to say, but if it's Mr. Xu who is fooling him, Mr. Xu's eyes are so poisonous. If he can't correct it and be seen, he might pack up and leave.

"Minister, of course it's true." Zhou Xiuxiu said.

Qian Cheng looked Zhou Xiuxiu's eyes carefully, and felt that the other party didn't seem to be talking, so he was relieved. No matter what, at least he didn't commit the crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Are you sure you can change Mr. Xu's script?" Qian Cheng asked worriedly.

Mr. Xu's screenwriting ability is not good, but the screenwriting ability of the team members is...

It's not that he's negative, or that he looks down on the members under his command. It's just that Beijing Television Culture has not produced any decent film and television dramas in the past few years.

Most of the members of the creative department come from the film department and the TV drama department, and his past achievements really made him unable to have confidence.

"I'm sure, those of us usually chatting about the plot of TV dramas in the company are not for nothing. As for whether the audience will like it after the filming, then I'm not sure." Zhou Xiuxiu spread her hands at the end.

Qian Cheng rolled his eyes directly.

Dare to take on Mr. Xu's mission if you're not sure?

Isn't this getting on fire?

Ugh!
Qian Cheng sighed deeply. It's too late to say anything now, so let's hurry up and have a meeting to explain the new tasks. Maybe everyone can pick up firewood and come up with a new script that satisfies Mr. Xu.

Xu Jie was sitting in the office, planning to plan the preparations for the third season of "Crossover Actor", but the idea mentioned by Zhou Xiuxiu always appeared in his mind.

For him, making a film itself is a gamble, and if the film is adapted into a TV series, it is equivalent to raising the original bet.

Stud up!
Yes, he bet all the money he could use. Isn't this Stud?

But in his heart, he didn't want to do that.

The reason why he took over the TV drama job was to leave a way out for himself. If the box office of the movie hit the market, he could still use the TV drama to win the round.

But if the TV series also shoots "Lovers in Time and Space", then he has nowhere to go.

The 7000 million investment for the film, the 8000 million production budget for the TV series, and the 5000 million development funding that we just won, add up to [-] million.

Losing [-] million yuan a year can be regarded as the number one prodigal son of Beijing Radio and Television Station.

Of course, it is impossible to be expelled. After all, in terms of variety shows, he is the money-absorbing king in the station, but this incident will become a stain on his career, a stain that he will never escape for the rest of his life. When he is promoted in the future, he will definitely Someone will talk about it.

"Clap clap clap!"

Xu Jie patted his forehead with his hand.

To shoot, or not to shoot, is really a headache.

At noon, Xu Jie left the company.

He was going to find his wife and ask her for her opinion.

Just as he was about to get into the car, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Xu Jie!"

Xu Jie turned his head to look, only to see a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appearing on the side of the road.

He said familiar because he knew each other, and said unfamiliar because he hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Sister, it's you, what a coincidence!" Xu Jie looked at the other party in surprise, "Why are you here?"

The male to female ratio of Huaxia Communication University where he works is 3:7, so he knows a lot more seniors than seniors.

"I just passed by and saw you by accident. I thought I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I came over to say hello. I thought you had forgotten me." Liu Liya said with a smile.

"Haha, senior sister was joking. When I first entered school, you were the goddess in my heart. How could you forget so easily?" Xu Jie said jokingly.

But this senior is really beautiful.

I remember that the first time I met him was in the student union, he was the head of the Propaganda Department, and that vigorous and resolute Yu Jie fascinated many new members.

Of course, he wasn't there.

At that time, he was still very young.

Isn't there such a word?

When I was young, I didn't know my sister was good, so I mistakenly regarded my sister as a treasure.

"Really? How come I never knew?" Liu Liya looked surprised.

"Why do you have the nerve to talk about this kind of thing casually? Of course it has to be buried in your heart." Xu Jie said.

"Oh? If that's the case, it's just noon, do you want to treat your college goddess to lunch?" Liu Liya asked with a smile.

Xu Jie was taken aback.

Have a meal?

The two have not been in touch for several years, and when they were in school, it was only the relationship between the minister and the department. Isn't it a bit too casual to have dinner when they meet by chance?

The relationship between students was like this, even the classmates in the same class seldom contacted, let alone other people.

But since the other party has already spoken, if he refuses directly, it will not only make the other party lose face, but also make him look very hypocritical.

She keeps calling her a goddess, but she can't even eat a meal.

"Why, are you afraid that I will steal your food? Don't worry, senior sister treats you to dinner." Liu Liya said.

"Haha, how can I make my senior sister spend money, there is a good private restaurant near our company, just across the street, let's go together." Xu Jie pointed not far away.

"Okay." Liu Liya immediately agreed.

Xu Jie didn't expect that the other party was really rude. Anyway, he had to eat at noon, so he walked across the street with the other party, but he couldn't discuss with his wife about filming a TV series.

After a few minutes.

Xu Jie brought his senior sister to the private restaurant just mentioned. Since it was lunch time, the private room was either occupied or booked out, so the two could only find a random seat in the lobby.

"Sister, come here, don't be polite to me." Xu Jie handed over the menu.

Liu Liya was also really rude, and ordered a few signature dishes, and finally pointed to Moutai on the drink page.

Xu Jie was stunned for a moment when he saw it, and quickly said: "Senior sister, I have to go to work in the afternoon, so I'll just watch the wine."

"Long time no see, how can we do without wine? Senior sister invites you." Liu Liya said generously.

"Senior sister, it's not a matter of who invites whom. I really can't drink. Senior sister wants to drink. Find time to drink later." Xu Jie closed the menu.

Seeing Xu Jie's insistence, Liu Liya didn't order in the end. After the waiter left, she took off her coat, revealing the charming curve of her upper body, then put her arms on the table, looked at Xu Jie with a smile and said: "Student , haven't we seen each other for a few years?"

"Well, I haven't seen my senior since she graduated. I heard from the student union that my senior went back to work at the TV station in her hometown? How is it? It's good, isn't it?" Xu Jie said while pouring a glass for her. water.

"Hey, that's it. How can a person like me who has no background, no resources, and no support be any better?" Liu Liya sighed softly.

The corner of Xu Jie's mouth twitched, how could he chat like this?Isn't this chatting to death?
Also, how did that vigorous and resolute senior sister turn into what she is now?

A picture suddenly appeared in Xu Jie's mind: a senior sister accidentally met a junior whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and told him about her misfortune in career or marriage, and then... [-] words are omitted here.

"Sister, don't be depressed, be happy, gold always shines." Xu Jie didn't know what to say, so he could only try to comfort her.

The two haven't seen each other for so many years, and the relationship is so-so, so it's not good to talk too much.

"What is gold always shines. These are all lies. If you cover the gold with a rag and no one will remove it, it will never shine." Liu Liya said.

"..."

Xu Jie was speechless.

It was pretty good when we first met, but why did we start to choke when we sat together?
Is this looking for him to eat?
Obviously looking for a doormat.

Liu Liya also realized that her emotions were wrong, so she smiled and said: "Don't talk about me, talk about you. Although I am not in the capital, I can often hear your name. The chief director of "Delicious History", "Ordinary The Chief Director of "The Courage", and also directed Beijing Satellite TV's New Year's Gala, as well as the China Spring Festival Gala sketch, by the way, I heard that you married a big star Su Yun, you are really a winner in life."

"It's nothing, it's just luck." Xu Jie said while drinking water.

"Student, you are too modest. I am also a program producer. It is luck to make one popular show, and it is a coincidence to make two popular shows. Then three or four popular shows are strength. Junior brother, you are a capable person. Now the producers of many TV stations regard you as their learning target, and our station is also analyzing your programs all day long." Liu Liya said.

"It's not as exaggerated as the senior sister said. By the way, I don't know which TV station the senior sister works in?" Xu Jie quickly changed the subject, talking too much, and the other party sighed again.

"Huxiang Satellite TV."

"Really? Huxiang Satellite TV is an expert in variety shows. Many popular variety shows in China are from your Huxiang Satellite TV, so senior sister, don't praise me." Xu Jie said with a smile.

Huxiang Satellite TV's variety shows have always been the top spot in China. Not only are they very old, but they also have a variety of program types. Not only have many stars become popular, but also many hosts have become popular. For publicity, they will be featured on Huxiang Satellite TV's variety shows for publicity, which shows its influence.

And in addition to influence, Huxiang Satellite TV's ability to attract money is also very strong.

I remember that one year, Huxiang Satellite TV’s advertising revenue exceeded [-] billion, and it was the only one among all domestic satellite TV channels with an advertising revenue exceeding [-] billion.

Although with the rise of variety shows on other satellite TV channels, the advertising revenue of Huxiang Satellite TV has declined in recent years, but it has remained at 80 billion or 90 billion. The other four big TVs are simply incomparable.

"Student, what you're talking about is the old calendar. In the past two years, all the popular variety shows have come from your Beijing Satellite TV. It won't be long before your Beijing Satellite TV will be ranked first in variety shows." Liu Liya said .

"Our Beijing Satellite TV only has one or two variety shows that are not bad, unlike your Hunan Satellite TV, which is fully blooming." Xu Jie said.

This can be seen from the advertising revenue, and the merchants are not fools.

"Your Capital Satellite TV still has potential."

"Older gingers are more spicy."

Xu Jie spoke, Liu Liya spoke, and the two began to compliment each other in business.

"Student, I just saw you coming out of the building of Beijing TV Culture. Why, aren't you at Beijing TV now?" Liu Liya suddenly changed the subject.

"Well, last year, I was just transferred from the Art Program Center to JingTV Culture, but JingTV Culture is also an enterprise of our Beijing Radio and Television Station." Xu Jie explained.

"I know, but no matter how good the company below is, it's not as good as the TV station. It's a pity that a talent like you was transferred from the TV station. Does the leader of your station have something wrong with his eyes?" Liu Liya Said in an injustice tone.

"Sister, it's not like that..."

Xu Jie was about to explain when he was interrupted.

"Brother, you don't need to explain. My sister understands that Beijing TV station doesn't respect talents, which doesn't mean that other TV stations don't respect talents. Huxiang TV station is a place that respects talents very much. Are you interested in developing with us?"

"Ok?"

Xu Jie was slightly taken aback, and looked at the appearance of the senior sister. Is it really a chance encounter today?
