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

Chapter 498 Zhang Min's Thoughts!
"Oh, wake up, I was drunk enough last night."

Seeing Xu Wen come out, Wang Jiawei laughed and joked.

Xu Wen touched his head in embarrassment.

"I didn't say anything bad yesterday, did I?"

"Which aspect are you referring to?"

Wang Jiawei said with a smile.

Xu Wen groaned.

"In all respects."

"Which aspect do all aspects refer to?"

"Did you say anything offensive?"

"What are the words that offend people?"

"."

"Hahahaha, don't worry, with me here, I won't let you say that, but your appearance after drunk is beyond our expectation."

Seeing Xu Wen's speechless expression, Wang Jiawei said with a smile.

Xu Wen was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out.

"Unexpected?"

"That's right, after getting drunk, you said that the things you took were not what you really wanted to take, and you said that you are afraid of failure now. Hahaha, you look like a child, so cute."

"."

Xu Wen's head was full of black lines.

I never thought that one day I would be described as "cute".

But cute enough.

What does old cute mean?
Old cutie?

"Okay, I have to leave first, there are still things waiting for me to deal with in the capital, see you in a few days."

Wang Jiawei waved to Xu Wen, took a salute and left with his assistant.

Although the next recording of the program is said to be on the weekend.

But in the past few days, the directors basically have other things.

It is estimated that he will only come back to guide the performances of the actors until a few days before the recording starts.

Moreover, the instructors who are currently scheduled for the first video game are Wang Jiawei and Zhou Pingping.

So except for Zhou Pingping, the other two mentors have an extra day.

Then there is no need to lock it so tightly.

The feeling of time urgency described in the program is all for the audience to watch after it is broadcast.

Watching Wang Jiawei leave, Xu Wen saw a familiar figure at the gate.

He couldn't help but waved his hand at the figure.

The figure also saw Xu Wen who was saying hello, and walked over faster.

Shouted from afar.

"I saw director Wang Jiawei just now."

Zhang Min looked out and said.

Xu Wen smiled and nodded.

"It is indeed him."

"He is much thinner than last time. Hey, by the way, these are some plans in the company during this period. Take a look."

Zhang Min handed over a document.

In the past few days when he left, things in the company were piled up like a mountain.

Some things that Zhang Min can handle will be dealt with, while those that Zhang Min can't handle will be handed over to Xu Wen.

He is also busy with business.

Xu Wen waved his hand.

"Go to the room and talk."

"Row."

Zhang Min followed Xu Wen into the room.

In the room, Xu Wen ordered the service to bring over some snacks and tea drinks.

While eating snacks, Zhang Min quietly watched Xu Wen examine the documents in front of him.

"China Central Television wants to find us to cooperate in a period drama?"

Xu Wen couldn't help but said while looking at the document.

Zhang Min nodded.

"Yes, the last "The World" made them see the charm of changing the classics, and there are many good scripts in the hands of the central station, so they want you to make another annual drama."

"The success of "Human World" is only because this drama is "Human World", but it doesn't mean that all dramas are the same as "Human World"."

Xu Wen shook his head.

The market is like this, when a certain type becomes popular.

There will be countless such types coming to your door.

When "Knowledge" became popular, many books in ancient costumes were handed over.

But Xu Wen didn't answer.

Unexpectedly, the gust of "The World" has not yet blown.

CCTV actually wants to make a period drama?

why?

"Accordingly, "The World" has been aired for so long, why does CCTV still want to make period dramas? Shouldn't it?"

Xu Wen looked at Zhang Min in confusion.

Zhang Min sighed.

"I actually asked Wang Liang about the specifics. It seems that the last time the center stage was dedicated to period dramas was to present gifts, but this time it was for cultural export."

"Cultural export?"

Xu Wen was taken aback.

He seemed to have casually asked Zhou Pingping about the new drama at the dinner table yesterday.

Zhou Pingping talked about cultural output.

And Tao Jing and Wang Jiawei's new works are also for the export of this culture.

What kind of cultural output can allow so many directors to start shooting new works at the same time?
Xu Wen was a little curious.

"What is cultural output?"

"It seems that we want to select some excellent works, and then distribute them overseas in the name of the central station, so that overseas countries can also watch our country's excellent film and television works."

"Then why not choose those classic works before?"

"Hey, do you think this is an era when the Internet is underdeveloped? Works from a few years ago can be found on the Internet, and the central station wants new works."

Zhang Min said with a smile.

Xu Wen nodded thoughtfully after listening.

Zhang Min continued.

"Currently, this cultural output is the main project of China Central Station. In addition to TV dramas, there are also movies."

"Not only our company, but also several other film and television companies have received invitations, once selected works."

"Not only at home, but even abroad, the center station will also give the best publicity resources."

"The types of cultural output include period dramas, romantic dramas, costume dramas, Gongdou dramas, etc."

Zhang Min was interrupted by Xu Wen before he finished speaking.

"Hey, wait, what kind are you talking about?"

"Um, period dramas, romantic dramas, costume dramas, suspense dramas"

Zhang Min was stunned for a moment. Although he felt strange, he told Xu Wen again.

Xu Wen looked at Zhang Min in bewilderment.

"Since the cultural output of China Central Television includes so many types, why does China Central Television want me to make period dramas?"

"What the central station said is that you have the successful experience of "The World", so I hope you will make period dramas."

Zhang Min blurted out.

Xu Wen:.
"Was it from the center station? Or Wang Liang?"

"Huh? How do you know Director Wang said it?"

Zhang Min's eyes widened and he felt very curious.

Xu Wenchang let out a sigh of relief.

Who else would have come up with such a bad idea except Wang Liang?

"I don't want to shoot period dramas anymore. If they want me to do period dramas at the central station, then I won't participate in this cultural output. Please help me pass these words to the central station."

Xu Wen shook his head and looked at Zhang Min.

Zhang Min nodded, thought for a while and spoke again.

"There is one more thing, that is, I want to adjust the company's business strategy."

"I think it's still a bit too risky to make a single work. I think we have works now."

"Actually, we can still take on part of the artist's brokerage. Anyway, we have to shoot works, why use other artists?"

"What's your opinion?"

What Zhang Min said was actually asking Xu Wen.

After all, it was just one of his thoughts.

It was Xu Wen who really made the decision.

Xu Wen looked at Zhang Min in surprise.

"Why do you suddenly want to be an artist?"

"In the end, the film and television company basically has both the works and the artists. Isn't it safer to have double insurance?"

Zhang Min grumbled.

Xu Wen smiled.

"I don't object to you being an artist, but artists have more uncertainties than works. We only need to worry about whether the works are popular or not."

"But people are complicated animals. You may finally make an artist popular, but it is also possible for him to turn around and leave."

Faced with Xu Wen's suggestion, Zhang Min smiled and waved his hand.

"Oh, there is no one in business who doesn't take risks. As long as it is a business, you basically have to take risks."

"There has never been a huge profit, and besides, I actually have another way to be an artist."

"Don't look at the prosperity of our works now, but I know it's all because of you."

"Your creativity and ideas have allowed us to have so many works, but I can't say it well."

"What if you want to rest that day? Or if you don't want to contribute?"

"Everyone is pointing at you to live, that's basically one person lying down, and the whole company is doing nothing."

"So I am engaged in artist management to prevent problems before they happen, not to divert the company's focus."

Xu Wen was very surprised by Zhang Min's words.

Even Zhang Min has considered issues that he himself has not thought about.

Perhaps because of the different positions, what Zhang Min said made some sense.

In case Xu Wen wants to rest for a year or so that day, or Xu Wen doesn't want to create anymore.

Then the company has no other business. Zhang Min is just recreating a track outside the scope of the main business.

In fact, it is not impossible to think about it.

Xu Wen glanced at Zhang Min.

"You convinced me."

"Of course, I have thought carefully before I came here. If I hadn't thought about it, I wouldn't have said it. Do you think I'm joking?"

Zhang Min said quite proudly.

Xu Wen smiled.

"Then you start to prepare."

"Okay, you are on the show again now, if there are some good actors, you should pay more attention and try to lure them to our company."

"Okay, I know."

Xu Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Min was still thinking about this.

Before sending Zhang Min out, Zhang Min turned around again, looked at Xu Wen and said.

"You have time to talk to the second floor hall."

"What's the matter? What happened to him?"

"No accident happened to him, but I saw him several times, and his uncle came again."

"Nikaido? Why hasn't he calmed down yet?"

"I don't know. Over the past few years, he has become more and more confused. He is the only director among the three talented directors, and he is already relying on his previous name."

Zhang Min shook his head, feeling a sigh of relief.

Xu Wen was also silent after listening.

When I first entered the industry, the title of the three major genius directors of documentaries was in full swing.

Basically, as long as you are engaged in the documentary industry, there is no one who does not know these three people.

But I didn't expect that the three talented directors would become a thing of the past in a few years.

Needless to say, Nikaido, after resigning from Universal and jumping to Feiwang.

His grades were getting worse day by day, and he broke away from the documentary "Dolphin Bay".

Nikaido's transformation work is also not satisfactory.

Later, I filmed a reality show variety show with Bacon, who jumped to Flying Net, but was also crushed by Xu Wen's "Walking with the Kadaichan Family".

The failure of this reality show.

Not only did Bacon gradually become a third-rate reality show actor.

It also smoothed out Feiwang's last resource pouring into Nikaido.

Since then, Nikaido is not a new work.

Has disappeared from the documentary industry for several years.

Occasionally, news came out that it was also the last variety show on Neon.

It's just in the form of supporting guests.

The gap in status is evident.

But the nephew who was rejected by him at the beginning was completely different.

After the second-order hall came to Huaguo, he joined Xu Wen's subordinates.

Several works were shot in succession at Xuwen Company.

Although they are all just Xu Wen's sequels.

But the results are also very hot.

In particular, several of them are also very popular in Neon.

Now that he suddenly heard the news about Nikaido, Xu Wen was still taken aback for a moment.

Back then, there was a big gap in status between myself and Nikaido.

Xu Wen sighed.

"I'll talk to the second-tier hall when I have time."

"Yes."

Zhang Min nodded.

After seeing off Zhang Min, Xu Wen went back to his room to rest.

On the phone, some acquaintances from Mango Channel, such as Zhang Xianrong, also want to ask Xu Wen to meet.

But Xu Wen refused.

Tomorrow, I will go into the studio to watch the rehearsal of my team's actors.

He also needs to study the script carefully.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if the instructor is not familiar with the plot.

For this reason, Xu Wen didn't go out all afternoon.

Except for some meals delivered by room service in the middle, I basically never went out.

Time flies by.

The next day.

After Xu Wen packed up, he slowly got into the car and headed towards the studio.

In the small rooms of their respective teams in the studio, the actors have long been familiar with their lines and are rehearsing.

And Xu Wen didn't tell them in advance that he was coming.

The only one who knows is the program group.

Because they need to follow Xu Wen's reaction all the way.

When he got there, Xu Wen got out of the car and walked into the studio.

"Report to the empress, the concubine has something to report!"

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"A concubine wants to report on Concubine Xi for messing up the harem, that's a crime that cannot be punished!"

"You can't talk nonsense!"

"The concubine swears by her family that everything the concubine said is true!"

When Xu Wen walked into a certain rehearsal hall, what he saw happened to be the rehearsal scene of the female trio.

Seeing Xu Wen push the door and enter, the three of them stopped moving.

Surprise question mark.

"Hi Director Xu."

"Mr. Xu is good."

Xu Wen smiled.

"I just listened to your rehearsal at the door, and I feel that you are basically familiar with the lines. Today I will rehearse for you."

Hearing Xu Wen's words, the three little girls who played concubines couldn't help becoming nervous.

But in addition to nervousness, there is also anticipation.

At the same time, Wang Jiawei and the three of them were also scattered in different rooms, instructing the students of their respective teams.

The next three or four days will be the stage for the instructors to guide the rehearsal.

We will be on stage at that time, so everyone did not take it lightly.
