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

Chapter 557 Cooperation!

As a small town, it has a luxurious hotel.

This is a strange thing.

But if the name of this town is "Hengdian".

That's another story.

As Hengdian is known as "Oriental Hollywood".

It brings together large and small crews as well as star entertainers who come and go.

The probability of encountering a star on the road is several times that of other places.

And in such a place, it is necessary for a luxury hotel to take care of the daily life of pampering stars.

It is impossible for celebrities to live in guest houses like ordinary actors.

Basically, such a luxury hotel is their permanent residence when they are filming in Hengdian.

In the same way, some important things will be discussed here by the way.

As soon as Xu Wen arrived here, someone inside welcomed Xu Wen upstairs.

Xu Wen didn't even know them.

They kindly ate Director Xu one by one.

Take the elevator and arrive at the banquet hall on the 8th floor.

Xu Wen saw two middle-aged men in suits.

Xu Wen knew that he was going to meet these two people today.

It was the two in front of me.

The bald guy on the left is called Zhou Tuo, and the younger guy on the right is called Yang Shu.

The identities of these two people are the big bosses of one of the best film and television companies in Huaguo.

These two people belonged to the big shots in the population of ordinary artists.

It is also commonly known as capital on the Internet.

As soon as he saw Xu Wen, Yang Shu greeted him with a smile.

"Oh! Director Xu, I've been looking forward to your coming."

The boss has been working for a long time, and it is inevitable to play an official tone.

But Zhou Tuo seemed much calmer, followed behind Yang Shu, and nodded towards Xu Wen with a smile.

Xu Wen also smiled.

"I'm even embarrassed by Mr. Yang's words."

"What I want is that you feel embarrassed, otherwise today is too polite, so what should I do?"

Yang Shu laughed and invited Xu Wen to sit down.

Today's meal was ordered by Yang Shu who had called and invited him a long time ago.

The reason for inviting Xu Wen is also very simple.

That is, I want to discuss the matter of asking Xu Wen to direct the film.

After a director becomes famous, many employers will invite him to direct movies.

Just like when an artist becomes popular, he will receive a lot of notebooks.

It's not that the works are written and directed by the director himself.

Or the work you want to shoot.

Most directors are invited to direct.

Basically, the employer has a good project in hand and wants to find a director.

Generally speaking, there is an essential difference between such an invited director and a project planned by the director himself, that is, autonomy.

For example, Xu Wen himself wanted to prepare for the filming of "Langya Bang".

Then from the big and small things in the preparation stage, to the appointment of actors, and the sale of the broadcasting platform.

Everything can be decided by Xu Wen.

Because he is the boss, responsible for his own profits and losses.

If it is sold, he makes money.

If it sells poorly, he loses money.

The invited director is equivalent to being a worker.

Except for the right to shoot, most of the functions are not available.

Because there is an employer at the top to govern.

What kind of star to choose, the management has the final say.

How much budget there is is also the final say of the employer.

Of course this is also absolute.

Capital is generally not so tough.

Many things are discussed with the director.

But after all, it is not as free as when you are in charge.

For example, the management must support a certain artist.

Can you still fight against it?
But there is also an advantage to this situation.

That is whether the work is good or not, whether it makes money or not, has nothing to do with the director.

After making money, the director didn't take much.

If you lose money, you don't need the director to bear it.

It is equivalent to the salary of the director.

In fact, it is equivalent to the establishment and the company.

A stable, low risk.

One is unstable, the risk is high, but the return is also large.

But now there is a kind of default unspoken rule in the circle.

That is to invite the director to direct the work.

Basically, it is used to gild an artist that the management wants to praise.

For details, please refer to "Turandot".

So many celebrities, plus the director of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

emmmmm.

But is Xu Wen like this?

Not yet known.

After all, you have to eat to know.

At the dinner table, the two bosses kept toasting Xu Wen.

Talk about some interesting things in the entertainment industry from time to time.

Also revealed one thing to Xu Wen.

That is Yang Shu's company originally had a drama to invite Zhou Shi to be the lead male.

But after Zhou Shi's accident.

Yangshu immediately replaced Zhou Shi.

This sentence is actually a signal.

That is to win over Xu Wen.

Sell ​​Xu Wen a favor.

Xu Wen also smiled at this.

There is no straightforward way to say yes, and no straightforward way to say no.

Yang Shu confronted Zhou Tuo with a glance.

Xu Wen secretly thought in his heart that it was not easy.

Ordinary people heard that a big boss of a film and television company was doing him such a favor.

I was so happy that I couldn't find the north.

Now it seems that Xu Wen can achieve such great achievements at such a young age.

It is enough to show that there is something extraordinary.

After drinking for three rounds, Yang Shu began to talk about business.

As Xu Wen expected.

Yangshu Company recently planned a big-budget TV series.

The production scale reached 2 million.

I want to create a feature-length TV series.

The heroine found Liu Ziyi, a well-known domestic actress.

Dahua has been in the movie circle before.

This time I was invited by them to make a TV series.

You can think about how much banknote capacity was used in the middle.

As for the male protagonist, a young student from Xiangjiang was invited.

The other supporting roles are also well-known artists from all walks of life who can be named.

Plus Xu Wen who was invited today.

It can be seen that Yangshu has a lot of ambitions.

Yangshu's requirement is to shoot a full-length epic masterpiece!

All scales build the highest specification lineup.

In terms of scripts, they also bought several popular copyrights with a lot of money.

Let Xu Wen choose.

"Director Xu, this time we're definitely focusing on you."

"See if you are interested in these copyrights."

"As for your salary, we are also very clear, 50 per episode!"

Yang Shu blushed and smiled.

An episode of 50 is calculated according to the current TV series on the market.

At least 40 episodes.

So the salary for a TV series is 2000 million!
And Yangshu is old and slippery.

Said to listen to Xu Wen's arrangement.

But one of the scripts was selected, and the actors were also decided.

What room does Xu Wen have to play.

It is nothing more than a proposition composition.

Xu Wen smiled, and asked calmly what copyrights were there.

"Currently there are "Empire Epic", "Great Zhou Fengyun", "Bo Yun Wei Wei"."

Yang Shu said confidently.

All three are currently on the market and are well-known.

A very popular novel.

Each one can be called a magnificent masterpiece.

The copyright of a piece is at least calculated in tens of millions.

Yangshu was rich and powerful and bought 3 copies at once.

This made Xu Wen curious about how much money Yangshu had!

But to be honest, Xu Wen didn't have much interest in Yang Shu's three works.

how to say.

Works that are too small are very popular in the millennium.

But in recent years, everyone doesn't like to watch these things.

On the contrary, I prefer daily works.

This is also the reason why short TV series from mother-in-law and mother-in-law's parents are so popular.

The era of fake Dakong is over.

Everyone started to worry about one-acre three-point land and firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Life is hard, who has the time to watch the Empire every day!

After all, not all conspiracy dramas are "Langya Bang".

So if Yangshu is determined to shoot this type.

The actual benefit effect may not be as he wished.

Xu Wen was thinking about how to speak.

Fukuta, who was silent all the time, said with a smile.

"Actually, there is another "Family", but Mr. Yang despises it for being too petty."

Xu Wen was taken aback.

"Family"?
He seems to have heard Zhang Min mention this novel.

It is a story about a family of four.

More everyday.

Basically, it was a helper demon who let go of the shackles of his original family, and then soared into the sky.

A story envied by all.

There are many plots in it that are very similar to everyday life.

So it can resonate a lot.

Before Xu Wen asked Zhang Min to inquire about the copyright.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Min said with a look of regret.

The rights to the novel have long since been sold.

Xu Wen also put this matter behind him.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of me actually bought the copyright.

Thinking of this, Xu Wen couldn't help asking curiously.

"Mr. Yang, I'm a little curious. The novel "Family Gate" is so popular, why don't you adapt and film "Family Gate"?"

"Director Xu, what's so good about these mother-in-law's TV series? They don't make money."

Yang Shu shook his head.

Xu Wen interrupted him.

"Mr. Yang, what you said is narrow-minded. Although the TV series belongs to mother-in-law and mother-in-law, the money they make is epic."

"As long as everyone likes to watch it, then the TV series will be popular, and the popular TV series will make money. It doesn't care if it's about mothers-in-law or parents."

Having said that, Yang Shu and Zhou Tuo looked at each other.

Sighed each other.

"Director Xu, I won't hide it from you. In fact, our company bought the copyright at the beginning."

"I bought three TV series similar to "Family". After all, this type of drama was very popular before, and we also want to get a share."

"But the two dramas we invested in before lost all their money, so we really don't want to touch this genre."

Yangshu's words exhausted the helplessness of the management.

Losing money for a favorite drama is something no one wants to face, but has to face.

There are often times when the market is hot for a certain type.

Then there will be a large number of TV series of the same type emerging.

Therefore, the reason why Yangshu lost money is likely to have stumbled on this.

That's why now I want to set a precedent for the plot drama of empire battles.

Xu Wen smiled.

"To be honest, Mr. Yang, after I filmed "Langya Bang", my mind was full of power struggles."

"That's why I'm having a bit of nervous breakdown now, and I really don't want to touch this kind of drama."

"But for "Family", I have always wanted to adapt it into a TV series."

"If you want to invite me to direct a work, I hope to direct "Family Gate"."

"If you don't want to shoot this type of drama, it doesn't matter, we still have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Xu Wen's words made Yang Shu and Zhou Tuo stunned at the same time.

The expressions of the two are wonderful.

Yangshu has a dignified face and wonder.

While Zhou Tuo was puzzled, there was also a hint of joy in his eyes.

It's just that Xu Wen could see some feeling of gloating in this joy!
