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

Chapter 561 Unexpected Project!
As soon as Xu Wen returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he received a call from Zhang Min.

On the phone, Xu Wen got a news that surprised him.

That is Yang Shu actually asked him to meet for a second time.

This made Xu Wen a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that the cooperation between myself and their group has not been negotiated.

Yang Shu can completely find another director to shoot the works they want.

Not even a well-known director can not be found.

At that time, I said that I was only interested in "Family".

Could it be that Yang Shu agreed to adopt He Nan's suggestion?

It's not right to say that, at Yang Shu's current juncture.

Abandoning "Family Gate" is the most correct.

He can shoot other TV series first.

Grasp your right to speak in the company.

Xu Wen was ignoring Yang Shu's thoughts.

Can't help but find out the truth on the phone.

"Why did Yang Shu ask to meet me?"

"I don't know either. I talked to him last time about buying the copyright of "Family", but he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked me to meet you again."

Zhang Min's tone was also very puzzled.

Xu Wen frowned.

"Okay then, you can help me make an appointment for tomorrow night."

"Yeah, okay, by the way, there is one more thing to tell you that "Painted Skin" is about to be finished."

Zhang Min's words surprised Xu Wen.

"No, why did "Painted Skin" finish so quickly? How long has it been since Liu Changge joined the crew of "Painted Skin"?"

Xu Wen remembered that it wasn't long before Liu Changge joined the group.

After all, he is the leading actor, so there are so many scenes that need to be re-shot.

Could it be done so soon?
Zhang Min said with a smile.

"You just underestimate the current technological means, Zhou Pingping is very smart."

"For Liu Changge's make-up scenes, only close-ups and close-ups were made up."

"Everything else is replaced by AI face-changing."

Xu Wen froze for a moment, then blurted out.

"Will the AI ​​face change be cheating?"

"No, the face change only changes the back view and the side face of the little half, but Liu Changge made up for all the faces that involve half of the face."

Zhang Min explained.

Xu Wen nodded.

Zhou Pingping is an old director, so he should have a sense of proportion in this regard.

Now that "Painted Skin" is almost finished.

Then publicity will be put on the agenda at that time.

Although this movie was not directed by Xu Wen as the director.

But it is the first film invested by Xu Wen Company.

Its achievements can be seen from Zhang Min's phone call.

Still more important.

After all, everyone knows it.

The company's future development direction cannot always be immersed in TV dramas.

It must be both TV series, movies and variety shows.

Now there are some signs of variety shows and TV dramas.

The movie "Painted Skin" is actually a foreshadowing in advance.

With this in mind, Xu Wen asked Zhang Min to make good arrangements for the promotion of "Painted Skin".

What is necessary is that some linkage can be done, but it is not impossible.

Zhang Min teased Xu Wen.

If these things have to wait until Xu Wen comes to help her figure it out.

Then she is the boss of the company for nothing.

These things have long been listed in the company's plan.

Xu Wen was embarrassed for a while.

Sometimes I am too out of step with the times when I am a hands-off shopkeeper.

It seems that even if you want to be a hands-off shopkeeper in the future, you have to figure out things before you talk.

next night.

Xu Wen drove to Qianjiang Hotel.

As the most prestigious hotel in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it has received many celebrities and rich people.

This is where Yang Shu and the others met Xu Wen.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the hotel, I saw many luxury cars.

Xu Wen also saw Yang Shu and Zhou Tuo at the door.

Some people followed behind them.

It appears to be staff.

After getting out of the car, Yang Shu greeted him immediately.

"Oh! Director Xu, I finally see you again."

"What Mr. Yang said, I have been looking forward to today for a long time."

"It's cold standing outside, go sit inside."

After exchanging pleasantries, they sat down in the private room.

"Mr. Yang, our company's Mr. Min said that you still want to meet me. I wonder if it's because of my last time?"

After drinking and eating, Xu Wen got down to business.

Yang Shu also put down his chopsticks upon hearing this.

Turning his head and glanced at Futaku behind him, he spoke.

"Director Xu, are you really interested in "Family Gate"?"

"Why, do you think what I said was a joke?"

Xu Wen laughed.

I even asked someone to buy the copyright from you.

Do you still think I'm joking?
Yang Shu smiled embarrassingly, and then spoke again.

"Director Xu, I have a suggestion here, I wonder if you can see it."

"Tell me."

"Our cooperation will continue, but let's make a bet, if the ratings of the TV series you filmed for our company are good, then I will sell you the copyright of "Family" at half price?"

Yang Shu rolled his eyes.

It seems that he has not given up his obsession with wanting to make big scenes and big moves.

Xu Wen laughed dumbfounded after hearing this.

"Mr. Yang, let's avoid it. To be honest, it's not that I'm not interested in this aspect now."

"It's just that I think I'm not capable enough. To be honest, I haven't filmed a big scene."

"You can understand this by looking at my previous works. In comparison, I prefer small scenes."

Xu Wen's words were regarded as a polite rejection of Yang Shu.

But he also knew the meal wouldn't just end there.

What is negotiating.

That is to discuss the conversation.

This thing is the same as selling vegetables and bargaining.

After all, there must be exchanges between the respective submissions.

It is impossible to seal the cooperation in one sentence.

Xu Wen knew this.

Yang Shu also knew it, so what he said just now was actually his introduction.

It would be even better if Xu Wen agreed.

If you don't agree, he will have the next words.

"Looks like I'm still doing the photoshoot. Although director Xu has already expressed his opinion, I still hope that director Xu can help me take pictures."

"But since Director Xu said so, let's talk about another matter."

"Mr. Min from your company called me to ask for the copyright of "Family Gate"."

"Director Xu, do you want to shoot this work so much?"

After Yang Shu finished speaking, he stared at Xu Wen.

Xu Wen smiled freely.

"Speaking of which, I still haven't dabbled in family dramas, so I want to try one or two."

"Then Director Xu, you also know that there have been as many family dramas in recent years as crucian carp across the river, right?"

"Of course I know this, but you can't stop shooting because there are too many types, can you?"

"Hahaha Director Xu is still that Director Xu."

Yang Shu smiled and got up to toast Xu Wen with a glass of wine.

After taking a sip of wine, Yang Shu finally began to reveal his real purpose.

"After careful consideration, I have decided to respect Director Xu Wen's opinion."

"Our company's project direction has been changed to "Family Gate"."

Xu Wen was slightly startled.

Change to "Family Gate"?
So bold?
Xu Wen looked at Yang Shu, trying to find some other evidence from his face.

But look at Yang Shu's expression.

It seems that I really decided to change the project to "Family Gate".

"Mr. Yang, have you really thought about it? There is no turning back when you open the bow."

Xu Wen's words are obviously suggestive.

I know about your company.

Have you really thought about it?

If you don't do it well, you will be kicked down.

Yang Shu laughed.

"At first, I was still hesitating. Speaking of which, I personally prefer works with a large lineup."

"Fortunately, after discussing with Zhoutuo, I strengthened my confidence. We plan to start two projects at the same time."

"I will be in charge of "Family", and Zhou Tuo will be in charge of another project."

Yang Shu's words fell into Xu Wen's ears.

No less than the Arabian Nights.

I'm about to be slapped down, but I dare to take charge of such a hot potato project?
Have too much confidence in me?
Xu Wen always felt that there was something tricky in it that he didn't know.

But Yang Shu would not tell him.

Nor did he intend to ask.

But he knew in his heart that someone who could achieve this position.

Surely he wouldn't be so stupid as to jump into a pit when he saw it.

I don't care about the little ones in Yang Shu's company.

Just do your own thing well.

Now that Yang Shu has changed the project of "Family".

Then Xu Wen should take a good look at the previous situation.

According to Yang Shu.

At present, their company plans to invest 6000 million yuan to film this TV series.

Of course, Xu Wen's salary is not included.

Otherwise, the investment would be more than 8000 million.

At the same time, artists who have been drawn up before will also participate in this project.

Xu Wen asked who the first-line artist Yang Shu invited was.

Yang Shu laughed and said it was Zhaochen.

Xu Wen has an impression of Zhao Chen.

I met her at an event before and said a few words.

The impression is a very cheerful woman.

Although she is already a 35+ female artist.

But it doesn't affect her resources at all.

It started when she became popular with a costume comedy.

Good scripts and good works follow one after another.

There are also masterpieces and fame.

Belongs to the powerful faction.

But one of the things Zhaochen is most famous for is about her turning over herself.

Generally speaking, female artists are very embarrassed at the age of 35 and above.

Because at this age, it is generally not possible to receive a female lead script.

Either pretend to be tender, or act as a mother.

But Zhaochen is not. She is an investor herself and chooses the screenwriter.

Create a movie for yourself.

Although the investment scale was only more than 3000 million yuan, it abruptly won a box office of 3.4 million yuan.

It can be regarded as reopening a new situation, and it can be regarded as a person with more personality and ambition among the first-line artists.

Before the event, Zhaochen joked about when he could cooperate with Xu Wen.

I didn't expect the opportunity to cooperate so soon.

Fortunately, in the novel "Family Gate", the protagonist is a woman.

And Zhaochen's age is not too much compared to now.

Otherwise, Xu Wen would be the first to object.

He wouldn't make a scene where a 40-year-old is acting 20.

After chatting for a while, we finally decided on a plan.

Specifically, the two companies need to come to the door for specific negotiations.

After leaving here, Xu Wen expressed Yang Shu's meaning to Zhang Min.

This matter is settled.

However, Zhang Min's doubts were exactly the same as Xu Wen's.
