I really don't want high ratings for my documentaries!

Chapter 466 No one wants it!
If you want to say who is the most intimidating person, the entertainment reporter can definitely be counted as one.

On a good opening ceremony.

Either ask about the follow-up filming plan of the TV series, or the effect that the whole TV series wants to create.

You can even ask about the scandals of the hero and heroine.

But these entertainment reporters didn't ask any questions.

As soon as he came up, he stared at Xu Wen and asked.

"What does director Xu think about XXX saying that TV dramas are difficult to succeed?"

"Reporter xx said that "My Home" will hardly succeed this time, what does Xu Wen think?"

"Everyone is not optimistic about this drama, what does Xu Wen think?"

Either stare at Song Jia.

"Why did you accept this drama? Don't you know that the current reputation is not good?"

"You accept this drama, what do other people in the circle think?"

"Aren't you getting the show?"

During the question-and-answer session of the reporters, no one cared about why Xu Wen changed the name of "My Home" to "Human World".

And the only ones who seem relaxed are probably those third- and fourth-tier actors.

Because there is not much popularity, no one cares about them.

Not to mention that no reporter thought about asking about the characters in the play, characters and so on.

Until the end of the opening ceremony, Xu Wen was busy with some tricky problems.

Reporters like to use the phrase "xxx said" from time to time.

I just want to lead the site so that it can create a topic.

Fortunately, although Xu Wen doesn't often appear on the show, he is very familiar with the questioning process of these reporters.

They are all old rivals.

Therefore, these reporters did not get any benefits from Xu Wen.

Of course, correspondingly, Xu Wen also interrupted the idea of ​​using these reporters to help promote his new drama.

Except for the twists and turns above the opening ceremony.

The second problem Xu Wen encountered was investment promotion.

Today's TV series are different from before. There is no commercial from the first to the last episode.

Because it is the cold winter of film and television, the number of investors has decreased.

So it's hard for everyone.

The same goes for TV shows.

In order to attract some investment, TV dramas also imitate the model of variety shows.

When the broadcast is halfway through, a small theater will be set up for you, and the leading actors in the film will promote a wave of products for you.

It can be regarded as attracting investment in disguise.

These are the old routines in film and television dramas.

Zhang Min is not optimistic about "The World" because of course he doesn't want all the funds to be borne by his company.

Therefore, we also try our best to attract some investment sponsors to share the pressure together.

Xu Wen knew Zhang Min's concerns, so he didn't stop Zhang Min from doing these things.

But what Xu Wen didn't expect was that no brand was willing to invest in "Human World".

"Oh, you don't know. In the past, as long as you mentioned your name, they were willing to invest several million in a program like "Detective" that no one knew about in the early stage. At least they could recover the production cost."

"But no matter what I say this time, none of them are willing to invest, not even your name!"

When Zhang Min came to visit the crew.

I couldn't help complaining to Xu Wen.

Xu Wen smiled.

"If there is no brand that is willing to invest, let it be. Don't force it. Anyway, our company's initial budget is enough."

"That is to say, there is another problem that you haven't noticed!"

Zhang Min sighed, and looked at Xu Wen angrily.

It's really not in charge of the family. I don't know how expensive rice, oil and salt are.

Xu Wen looked at Zhang Min curiously.

"what is the problem?"

"There is no brand sponsorship, and there is no popularity right now, no! There is no good popularity, and the outside world is not optimistic. Then I would like to ask which TV station do you think will buy the drama "The World" by then?"

After Zhang Min finished speaking, Xu Wen immediately understood what was going on.

Yup!

Don't worry if there is no brand sponsorship, what matters is the series of things that happen later.

TV shows are made for people to watch.

And if you want people to see it, you need a platform.

According to the ghostly state of "Human World", it is estimated that no TV station is willing to ask for it.

"Come to think of it, the TV station is the key point. If there is no TV station, no matter how good your show is, no one will know about it."

Seeing Xu Wen's face, Zhang Min knew that Xu Wen had thought of this.

Xu Wen pondered for a while, then waved his hand.

"No, you can contact several TV stations that have a good relationship with us, Modu TV, Mango TV, right! Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV will definitely want it!"

"Okay, since you don't give up, let me try to contact you."

Zhang Min sighed, but it was obvious that she didn't like it.

After Zhang Min left, Song Jia came over.

"Director Xu, what's the matter? I saw Mr. Zhang's complexion is not good, is something wrong?"

"Oh, no, it's just something else. By the way, do you have anything to do?"

Xu Wen shook his head and looked at Song Jia.

Song Jia's expression was a little weird.

"There's something I don't know if I should say it, or Director Xu, you can take a look at it later."

Xu Wen was confused by Song Jia.

When the next scene started shooting, Xu Wen carefully watched the monitor.

This scene was filmed between Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingkun.

"Brother, do you know?"

"I know I do. I do. I know I do"

The actor who played Zhou Bingkun stuttered for some reason.

The lines have not been fluent.

Xu Wen "stuck" and didn't blame too much.

Just let the actors go down and memorize their lines more.

Shooting starts again after 30 minutes.

Originally thought that 30 minutes was enough for the actor to get back to his state.

But 30 minutes later, the actor still couldn't remember his lines.

The whole person is an absent-minded look.

Xu Wen sighed in his heart.

The actor he found has nothing to say about his professional ability.

Not very famous, but good acting skills.

Logically speaking, such a thing should not have happened, but now that it has happened, it means that there must be something wrong outside of the performance.

No wonder Song Jia felt something was wrong.

Because as the person acting in the opposite role, Song Jia can feel that the actor is out of state very straightforwardly.

Xu Wen called the actor aside.

"What's wrong with you? Are you hiding something from me?"

"Director Xu, I'm very sorry and I don't want to do this, but now I'm in a dilemma, I...I can't help it."

The actor apologized as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Xu Wen probably understand.

"Okay, just say it."

"It's like this. My company helped me get a very good role. Although it's only a supporting role, it's very rare for me no matter the lineup or anything else. If I miss this opportunity, I'm afraid There will never be a chance to meet a character like this again.”

The actor was very embarrassed.

After all, he had talked with Xu Wen first, and now it was obvious that he had to choose between two roles.

Because if there is no conflict, he can make money from both sides.

Seeing the actor's current trance state, Xu Wen also knew it.

He has actually made a choice.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so entangled.

Looking at the actors in front of him, Xu Wen sighed.

Although he knew that he could use the contract to force him to stay here, but doing so was useless.

The heart is gone, and all that is left is a walking dead.

It doesn't matter if he is a capitalist.

You walking dead, walking dead, all I want is to stay at my desk and do my work.

But he's a director now.

What he needs is an actor who puts his heart and soul into being here.

So now after the actor finished speaking, Xu Wen took a deep breath.

"I understand. In a few days, someone from the company will contact you to terminate the labor contract. You can go to another crew. I wish you success too."

"Thank you Director Xu."

The actors were overjoyed.

When the actor left, Xu Wen unconsciously took out a cigarette and started smoking.

I didn't expect to make a TV series so difficult.

The management is not optimistic, the public is not optimistic, and now even the actors are running away.

At this moment, Song Jia came over, similarly, she also had a cigarette in her hand.

"Is he leaving?"

"Yes, our filming has come to a standstill now. The male lead is gone. I need to spend time looking for actors again. Fortunately, I didn't shoot many scenes before."

"Actually, I have a good friend who is also an actor. I think you can try to give him a chance."

"Who? Do I know him?"

"You definitely don't know each other. We are classmates in college, but he has been playing in some supporting roles now. He got good grades when he was studying before, but after graduation, he is just a mess."

"What is your name?"

"Lei Jiayi."

"Okay, let's contact him and come over for an audition."

Xu Wen nodded.

When Song Jia heard this, she smiled and started to contact her old classmate.

Perhaps it is doomed in the dark.

When Xu Wen saw this Lei Jiayi for the first time, he subconsciously thought that this was the Zhou Bingkun I was looking for.

And it is Zhou Bingkun who is more suitable than the last actor.

At the same time, Xu Wen can probably guess why this actor is currently tepid.

As an actor, his acting skills are beyond words.

As an artist, his head circumference is indeed a bit big.

It looks bigger under the pull of the lens.

This is also what many directors say does not have a "protagonist face".

But Xu Wen didn't care about that.

Since everyone has sentenced this TV series to death according to the usual eyes.

Then he doesn't have to use conventional casting to choose people.

After the audition, Xu Wen confirmed Lei Jiayi to play Zhou Bingkun.

Afterwards, filming began again.

I don't know if it has entered the bottom of the valley, so there will be no more bumps and bumps in the future.

Xu Wen's filming went smoothly.

Although no one came to pay attention, at least there were not as many twists and turns as before.

For this TV series, Xu Wen did not do all the shots by himself.

After all, his identity is other than the director of "The World".

There are a lot more.

For example, the director of "Magic Time-honored Brand".

Director of contentment.

Investor of "Big Detective".

And Hu Xiaoqing's boyfriend.

So he found a tool person to direct.

When I am not busy, most of the shots are resolved by myself.

If you encounter some things that need to be solved by yourself, just let the director of the toolman shoot the shots according to his own settings.

In this way, it went very smoothly.

And the broadcast of "Magic Time-honored Brand" is still very popular.

"Big Detective" successfully concluded its first season last week.

With a ratings of 4.4%, it successfully ranked first in the national ratings and completed the finale.

A second season is currently in production.

As for Xie Lingling, she wanted to be on this show.

Father Zhang also came to see Xu Wen many times.

After discussing with Liu Ke, Xie Lingling was arranged for one of the episodes.

It's just that there are not many scenes.

According to Xu Wen's thinking, it would be good if I let you go.

If you still have to pick and choose, then you don’t want to go.

Father Zhang also knew that it was not easy for Xu Wen to make this decision.

I don't know what method he used to convince Xie Lingling.

In short, Xie Lingling is very cooperative with the program group.

He neither played big cards nor made any irritating moves.

So both Xu Wen and Liu Ke felt very curious.

Even Hu Xiaoqing, who heard about it, was also curious.

I asked Xie Lingling, but she didn't say anything.

I had no choice but to give up.

Everything is going well on the Big Detective side.

"Fruit Biography" directed by Zhang Min is also scheduled to go online.

As Xu Wen came up with the idea, Zhang Min knew about the documentary.

At the beginning, it was arranged to be broadcast on Modu TV.

Later, in order to fight against Chaoyang Film and Television, it was replaced by Xu Wen's "Magic Time-honored Brand".

And Zhang Min's "Fruit Legend" was postponed.

Now it is officially arranged.

At first, Modutai wanted to buy "Legend of Fruit" at a low price.

But when Xu Wen said that he wanted to buy "Human World" along with it, Modutai immediately gave up on this mouth-watering duck.

Xu Wen was very helpless.

You can only untie "Fruit Legend" and "Human World".

Let "Fruit Legend" be sold separately to Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations.

Just as Zhang Min expected.

The broadcast platform of "The World" is as difficult as his brand sponsorship.

After contacting Mango TV, Modu TV, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV, no TV station was willing to ask for it.

In their words, they are all victims of "My Family".

"My Home" gave them a big fight before.

Now they don't want to be hurt again.

Xu Wen can understand Mango Terrace and Modu Terrace doing this.

But what Xu Wen didn't expect was that Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV were unwilling.

When Zhang Min told Xu Wen the news, Xu Wen thought Zhang Min was joking again.

After confirming that this was indeed the case, Xu Wen called Liu Ke.

Liu Ke on the other end of the phone almost knelt down for Xu Wen.

No matter how Xu Wen tried to persuade him, Liu Ke just didn't dare to take over "Human World".

Xu Wen was very curious about how much psychological shadow "My Home" had caused them before.

Everyone is unwilling to take over now.

But Xu Wen can't force people to accept his TV series.

Reluctantly, Xu Wen could only find other TV stations, and four or five TV stations in a row failed.

Just when Xu Wen was thinking about whether to put "Human World" online on the webcast platform.

An unexpected phone call hit him.
