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

Chapter 519 Another Twist!

"Xiao Jingyan! Stop for me!"

"Mr. Su, no matter what you say today, you can't stop me."

"If I don't stop you, what do you want to do? Do you rush to the palace to force the emperor to release Wei Zheng? Or take your soldiers to the Xuanjing Division to save people?"

"That's better than holding back for self-interest! Prince Jing's mansion is full of bloody men! You can't do such a thing!"

"Xiao Jingyan! You are affectionate and righteous, but why do you have no brains! Isn't the fire in Meiling 13 years ago not enough? Isn't there enough blood in the Qiwangfu! I..."

"Pause!"

With Xu Wen's words, the feeling of being immersed in the atmosphere of the original version in the conference room was suddenly pulled out.

When everyone came back to their senses, they all turned to look at Xu Wen.

Today is the script reading meeting for "Langya Bang".

When there was a lot of discussion outside because Xu Wen didn't choose a period drama, but insisted on making a costume drama.

Xu Wen called the actors here to read the script.

Familiarize yourself with the emotions of the characters before shooting, this is something that every crew must do.

Although some crews nowadays have omitted this step in order to accommodate the time of the big guys.

There are even some traffic fresh meat, in order to make money for the show, they are also temporary recitations on the spot.

But in Xu Wen's crew, such a thing has never happened.

This may be the benefit of having a big director in charge of the crew.

Because Xu Wen is one-sided in the crew.

He wanted to call the actors to hold a script reading meeting, indeed no actor would dare not come.

Today's scene is an emotional scene in "Langya Bang".

King Jing was so passionate that he wanted to rush into the palace to save people.

As an aide, Mei Changsu tried his best to stop him.

The emotional tension exploded at this moment.

But at a critical moment, Xu Wen interrupted Mei Changsu, which was precisely Liu Changge's dialogue.

Liu Changge looked at Xu Wen with some puzzlement.

"Director Xu, is there something wrong with our lines?"

"Your lines are very good, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that your emotions came up too fast and you didn't stop the car."

Xu Wen shook his head slowly.

Liu Changge was taken aback, and blurted out.

"What does it mean that emotions did not brake the car? I didn't reveal my identity?"

The corners of Xu Wen's mouth rose slightly, with a faint smile on his face.

He lit a cigarette and said.

"Hahahaha, it's not about revealing his identity. In this scene, Mei Changsu belongs to the kind of words that are about to come out of his mouth."

"He almost revealed his true identity, because he also has such a trace of passion in his blood."

"But reason still occupied most of his thoughts at the critical moment, so he suddenly said Meiling and Qiwangfu."

"Because these two points are not only to mention Prince Jing, but also to mention himself. The first half of your lines are very good."

"But later on, you have to be a little more stable, because at this point, Mei Changsu already knows that he can't be willful."

Xu Wen slowly explained why he made Liu Changge stop.

In the process of peeling off the cocoon, the image of the whole person is also made more three-dimensional.

Liu Changge listened, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He seemed to understand something, but then smiled again.

"Director Xu, I really admire you. You can write such a story, and every character is so flesh and blood. If it were me, my brain would explode."

Liu Changge's words have been recognized by many people.

It was as if the fuse was lit, and everyone started joking.

"Yes, yes, my mind can't think of so many things."

"Don't talk about "Langya Bang", I can't even think of "Knowledge" and "Human World"."

"Every time I read a script, it's like reading a novel."

"It's no loss that you are a genius who can win the best screenwriter twice!"

Xu Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved his hands to signal them to be quiet.

"Okay, okay, everyone just click until the end, if you keep boasting like this, I'm going to float."

"Director Xu, if you don't dare to float, then we are even more afraid to float."

Liu Changge chuckled.

Xu Wen smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, and continue reading the script."

Everyone gradually calmed down and continued to read the script.

With a group of like-minded people together, everything is done with half the effort.

Under Xu Wen's selection, the actors who can participate in "Langya Bang" are all passionate about acting, not to mention.

But no one was forced in.

For example, some production crews will destroy the atmosphere of the entire production crew because of the Cypriot capital.

With the backing of the funder's father, the resource guy will not take the words of a small director to heart.

Usually there is only one such actor in a crew.

Basically, the director has to retreat to the second line.

Everything has to revolve around that resource guy.

The script reading was still going on here, and a staff member walked in from the door.

Fu Er said something in Xu Wen's ear, and Xu Wen turned to look at the staff when he heard the words.

"where is it?"

"It's at the door."

The staff answered truthfully.

Xu Wen nodded, let the line teacher continue to guide the actors to read the script, then got up and followed the staff out of the room.

When he came to the door, Xu Wen saw the hesitant figure.

He was wearing a black suit and combed his hair meticulously.

With his head down, he walked back and forth at the door, and he could feel from a long distance that this person seemed to have encountered something troublesome.

Xu Wen squinted his eyes, with a smile on his face.

"Oh, Director Wang, why did you come here in person?"

"Director Xu, it's not like I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing."

Hearing Xu Wen's voice, Wang Liang threw away the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile.

Xu Wen leads the way.

"Let's go, go inside and talk."

"Yes."

In the reception room, Xu Wen personally poured Wang Liang a cup of hot tea.

Said enthusiastically.

"Director Wang, this is the Pu'er tea someone gave me. It's delicious. Try it."

Wang Liang picked up the tea and took a sip, not sure if he tasted it or not.

Open your mouth and say it.

“Good tea!”

"That's not how tea is drunk."

Xu Wen looked helplessly at the teacup that Wang Liang drank in one gulp, so he had to pour Wang Liang another cup of tea.

"Director Wang's sudden visit today, let me guess that it has something to do with "cultural export"!"

Xu Wen looked at Wang Liang with a smile.

Wang Liang put down the tea he had just picked up after hearing the words.

"That's right, it is indeed related to "cultural export". You also know the previous things. Cultural export has quotas for each category."

"However, at the last meeting of the main station, it was said that it was going to reduce some of the "cultural export" quotas, and reduce the original categories to 4 categories first."

Xu Wen was taken aback.

4 categories?
this is not.
Seeming to know what Xu Wen was worried about, Wang Liang sighed heavily.

"Yes, the competition has become bigger. Although there are costume dramas in the four categories, there are no period dramas."

"Even if you want to go back to film period dramas this time, you won't be able to. The competition for period dramas has become unprecedented."

"Many other types of directors have temporarily changed the type of project, and costume dramas are the most popular types."

"Didn't you participate in an actor selection program with Zhou Pingping? He also changed his project to a costume drama a few days ago."

Xu Wen's face changed slightly.

He didn't speak for a while.

The direction of the entertainment industry has never been theirs to decide.

This kind of thing is not only in the entertainment industry.

No matter which industry you are in, you will encounter situations where customers change their requirements temporarily.

According to Wang Liang, Xu Wen originally wanted to get the quota of "cultural export", and his biggest competitor was Ji Chang.

But looking at the situation now, it's not Ji Chang anymore.

But many other directors.

This made the already narrow pool suddenly more crowded.

"I was also working here today, and I came here to tell you the news when I heard the news."

"Actually, I don't think it is necessary to participate in this "cultural export" project."

"After all, the competition is too great."

Wang Liang comforted Xu Wen a few words.

But Xu Wen didn't have much thought to listen to it at all.

The sudden change of things made the whole thing confusing and confusing.

Xu Wen, who had originally vowed to be able to get the quota for the "Cultural Export" project by virtue of "Langya Bang", has also lost his confidence at this moment.

The two chatted for a while before Wang Liang left.

After sending Wang Liang away, Xu Wen didn't go in immediately.

Instead, he stood at the door and took out a cigarette from his pocket.

Xu Wen's restless heart was slightly relieved by the smell of burning tobacco.

After taking a long puff of cigarette, Xu Wen's eyes became dark.

Looking into the distance, I don't know what I'm thinking at all.

"Director Xu, aren't you going in?"

The staff at the side saw Xu Wen standing at the door and shouted.

Xu Wen waved his hand, signaling him to go in first.

When the staff heard this, although they felt strange, they could only go in first by themselves.

After tidying up his emotions, Xu Wen threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground and stomped it out.

Then went back in.

"Okay, today's script reading is over here, and there will be script readings in the next few days."

"Although I'm not here, I hope everyone will take it seriously and wait until I finish the recording of "The Actor Born"."

"Our "Langya Bang" is about to officially start filming."

After finishing the script reading, Xu Wen gave some instructions to the actors.

The actors also nodded one after another, packed up their things and left.

Liu Changge packed his things slowly, not in a hurry to leave.

Instead, he waited until the other actors had left before coming to Xu Wen's side.

"Director Xu, are you okay?"

"Why do you think I'm bad?"

Xu Wen was taken aback for a moment, then asked back with a smile.

Liu Changge sighed softly.

"Actually, I know everything about the "Cultural Export" project."

Facing Xu Wen's puzzled expression, Liu Changge burst into a smile.

"Director Xu, anyway, I have been in the circle for some years."

"There are also some contacts. In fact, shortly after you went out, my agent sent me a message."

Hearing this, Xu Wen sighed.

"I originally wanted to hide it from you, but it seems that this matter can't be hidden."

"Actually, Director Xu, you don't have to worry. I think even if our work may not be able to reach the quota of the "Cultural Export" project, I don't know that this drama is a failure!"

Liu Changge reached out and patted Xu Wen's shoulder.

Xu Wen smiled in surprise.

"It stands to reason that you should be the most unhappy. After all, you had better choices. I didn't expect you to comfort me now."

"I have a very good advantage, that is, once I make up my mind, I don't care about half-heartedness. Since I chose "Langya Bang", then I won't think too much about it."

Liu Changge smiled, showing a trace of stability on his face that did not belong to his age.

Xu Wen stared at Liu Changge in a daze.

Then he smiled a little relieved.

"I didn't expect you to see farther than me."

"I'm not looking far, I'm just able to face all situations and accept it calmly."

Liu Changge took a deep breath.

Xu Wen nodded.

"I still have to learn from you."

"No, you are the backbone of our crew, I learned from you if I want to learn, well, I have to go first, see you later."

Liu Changge regained his laughing expression.

Patted Xu Wen on the shoulder, and then left the meeting room.

Looking at Liu Changge's back, Xu Wen smiled.

It seems that he also understands that he is too important to the so-called "place".

In fact, if you think about it carefully, not everything has to be firmly held in your hands.

It is good to be able to run for the quota of "cultural export".

But if you don't choose it, you don't have to worry about gains and losses.

Maybe it's because every step Xu Wen has taken since time travel has been too smooth.

As a result, Xu Wen's competitive spirit became stronger and stronger.

Looking back, I realized that I am not as open-minded as an actor.

Xu Wen laughed at himself, then packed his things and left the conference room.

I got into the car that was waiting at the gate and headed to the airport.

The previous material of "The Birth of an Actor" was almost broadcast.

Now he is going back to Xiangcheng to participate in the recording of the show.

Not long after Xu Wen got into the car, Zhang Min called.

If something happened, who would be the first to react.

That must be Zhang Min.

Because no matter what happened before, it was Zhang Min who reported to Xu Wen immediately.

After answering the phone, Zhang Min's impatient voice came directly over.

"I heard that something happened to the "cultural export" at the central station?"

"Yes, Wang Liang personally came to me this afternoon and told me that the original quota has changed, and the competition in the costume drama sector has increased."

Xu Wen didn't hide anything, and told everything truthfully.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before speaking again.

"Then your "Langya Bang"?"

Xu Wen smiled slightly.

"You don't have to worry, since I have already decided to shoot "Langya Bang", I will continue to shoot regardless of whether there are still spots for this "cultural export"."

"Even if I don't get selected for "Cultural Export" in the end, I won't let it go!"

What Xu Wen said stunned Zhang Min on the other end of the phone.

Although I can't say why, I always feel that Xu Wen's state is a little different.
