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

When there was a lot of buzz about the restart of "Painted Skin 2" on the Internet.

But Xu Wen had already come to the teahouse by the West Lake to attend the meeting alone.

Today he made an appointment with an important person to meet here.

I met three people, still in the same teahouse.

Basically all in the same window position.

This place is almost becoming Xu Wen's second office.

Even every time Xu Wen just sat down, Xu Wen didn't need to ask for something to eat, the waiter would very skillfully bring out the few things Xu Wen wanted to drink.

With such a regular customer appearance, Xu Wen didn't know what to say about the boss.

High emotional intelligence: The boss has a really good memory. He knows that I am a regular customer, and even prepares what I want to eat.

Low EQ: Are you stupid!I have been here so many times!I don't know about discounts, but I am very diligent in buying things.

This time Xu Wenyue's guests came very quickly.

Basically, the relationship with Xu Wen is the front and rear.

Clearly a busy man too.

"Director Xu, the place you're looking for is pretty quiet."

The visitor just sat down, took off his sunglasses and looked around.

Xu Wen smiled and poured a cup of tea for the other party.

"If it's too noisy, firstly it will affect the conversation, and secondly, you, a big star, may not be able to sit still."

"Director Xu, stop making fun of me. Compared to you, I, Liu Changge, a big star, is nothing. Everyone knows that in the entertainment industry, Director Xu is the best."

Liu Changge chuckled, and took a sip of the tea Xu Wen made.

The protagonist of today's meeting is Liu Changge.

This super first-line niche student who is now in full swing.

The most powerful contender for the future actor.

"In this day and age, everyone is qualified to be called a director, but not everyone is qualified to be called a big star."

In terms of compliments, Xu Wen has already mastered it.

No worse than Liu Changge.

Liu Changge was taken aback for a moment and then laughed.

The two chatted for a while and Xu Wen began to talk about business.

"Changge, I guess you have guessed about what I asked you for today."

"Recently there is something about the restart of "Painted Skin 2" on the Internet, and many people know about it."

"It's said that the original cast is back. I think the most important of the original cast is you, the original protagonist."

"So I just want to ask about your schedule and wishes, to see if you would like to return to "Painted Skin 2"?"

If it was an ordinary young artist, Xu Wen wouldn't have to be so troublesome.

Just make a phone call and guarantee that you will sign the contract immediately with your ID card.

But facing a super-first-line niche like Liu Changge.

Xu Wen had no choice.

Because top directors are praised by everyone.

Scarce artists are also everyone scrambling for.

So Xu Wen also needs to discuss this matter with Liu Changge in a good manner.

Liu Changge took a sip of tea, glanced at Xu Wen inadvertently before speaking slowly.

"Director Xu, I know what you said, and I also have feelings for "Painted Skin"."

"But I am facing a problem now, that is, my schedule is a bit difficult."

"Now I am suddenly asked to take some time, I am really powerless."

The artist's schedule must be reserved in advance.

Xu Wen is also well aware of this.

"How long has it been scheduled so far?"

"The year after next."

The year after next?

Xu Wen muttered.

It is impossible for me to wait for Liu Changge to go the next year.

Is it possible to change an actor?

Liu Changge continued in the next second.

"However, in the second half of the year, there is a project that is still uncertain whether it will start."

"Because the employer is still in a swinging state, if the project does not start."

"Then I can give "Painted Skin 2" the time reserved for that project."

"It's the best way I can think of."

Xu Wen blurted out.

"What project?"

"A costume drama "Southern Tour"."

"Huh? Why do I have a little impression of this drama? Who is the director?"

"The director has not yet been decided, so I said that I don't know if it will start. The producer is Teacher Huang Xun."

"Who are you talking about? Huang Xun?!"

Xu Wen stared at Liu Changge with wide eyes.

The expression seems to say you are kidding me?

Liu Changge didn't know Huang Xun's friendship with Xu Wen.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Producer Huang?"

"no"

Xu Wen waved his hand.

I didn't expect to encounter a project related to Huang Xun here.

But isn't Huang Xun looking for Xu Wen to prepare for the "Wulin Biography" project?Why is there another project related to Liu Changge?
It seems that I need to have a good chat with Huang Xun.

After chatting with Liu Changge for a while, it was confirmed that as long as Huang Xun's project was not started, he would agree to join the crew of "Painted Skin 2" before leaving.

When Liu Changge had just left, Xu Wen immediately took out his mobile phone and called Huang Xun.

"Hey, Producer Huang, I heard that you will have a costume film called "Southern Tour" in the second half of the year?"

Xu Wen got straight to the point and didn't go around the bush.

Huang Xun was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

"Yes, this project is still in the incubation stage. I didn't expect Director Xu to know about it hahaha."

Xu Wencai didn't care about these, and blurted out.

"Then what about our two projects? Are you not going to shoot that project?"

"I didn't say that. My original plan was to see if you are willing to film the story I told. If not, then I can only start the project of "Southern Tour."

Huang Xun replied honestly.

Xu Wen frowned.

I want to restart "Painted Skin 2", but the lead actor of "Painted Skin 2" just accepted the project of Huang Xun.

And Huang Xun asked himself to shoot "Wulin Biography".

All these coincidences made Xu Wen suddenly feel that there might be some predestined destiny somewhere.

It must have been a coincidence.

After thinking for a while, Xu Wen picked up the phone again.

"Producer Huang, about the story in your dream, if you have time the day after tomorrow, come to the teahouse where we met last time, and let's settle the matter."

"Really! Director Xu can't be kidding about this matter. The company is still waiting for me to reply to the news of "Southern Tour". If I agree to you, there will be no more."

Huang Xun was a little surprised, but he was afraid that Xu Wen would regret it halfway.

Hastily added a few more words.

Xu Wen smiled.

"I have never filmed a TV series and then stopped filming. You can rest assured about this."

"That's fine, I'll come over the day after tomorrow."

"That's right! When you come here, bring a screenwriter with good writing and ideas to your company, and let him expand the plot according to our ideas."

Xu Wen hastily told Huang Xun.

Huang Xun agreed with a smile.

Before hanging up the phone, he made fun of Xu Wen.

"It is said in the circle that director Xu Wen can not only direct but also write. Now it seems that he is getting older and can't write anymore, so he needs to write a screenplay."

After finishing speaking, he immediately hung up the phone without giving Xu Wen a chance to defend himself, which made Xu Wen dumbfounded.

After writing several works, Xu Wen realized the pain of being a screenwriter.

Lock yourself in the room and keep typing.

Just like going to jail, this feeling is too uncomfortable.

So after "Everything Is Good", Xu Wen vowed not to write dramas alone anymore.

And I learned by chance during a dinner with the screenwriters in the circle that most of the big screenwriters in the circle now don't write their own plays.

Their role has evolved into that of creative exporters.

These big screenwriters come up with the content and the plot, and then hand it over to the small screenwriters under their hands to fill in some specific backgrounds, character dialogues, and the like.

It is equivalent to division of labor and cooperation.

The result of this is that the signature becomes more important than before.

Because the signature is an important evidence to prove that you have participated in this work.

Some screenwriters in the circle only pay small screenwriters a salary, but do not give their signatures.

It is a little better, that is, I will sign it for you, but there is no salary.

The best of course is to have both salary and signature.

It's just that whether you can meet such a great screenwriter depends on luck.

Xu Wen has no intention of being a black-hearted screenwriter, no signature and no salary, just give you a chance to intern on the crew.

But if you want to get a signature from him, at least you have to give useful suggestions to the work.

If you don't have this diamond, don't do this porcelain work.

Otherwise, let's be a ghostwriter and get paid honestly.

Ever since he learned about the gradual evolution of screenwriters in the circle, Xu Wen felt more and more that he was wronged in the past.

Obviously there is a more time-saving and labor-saving way not to go, but I choose to write word by word.

If you are not the wronged species, who is the wronged species?
After finishing the phone call with Huang Xun, Xu Wenchang let out a sigh of relief.

It seems that "Wulin Biography" will finally be put on the agenda.

As for Huang Xun's dream, let's treat it as a dream.

But I will see Huang Xun in a few days, and it is in this place again, Xu Wen thought about it and waved to the waiter.

"Hello, I want to apply for a membership card!"

Back at the company, Zhang Min immediately came over.

"How about it, has Liu Changge finished the talk?"

"not yet."

Xu Wen picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

Zhang Min showed disappointment, cast a glance at Xu Wen and said cautiously.

"Is it because of his schedule or because he doesn't want to shoot this IP anymore?"

"Neither, it happened like this."

Xu Wen shook his head, and told Zhang Min the ins and outs of the matter.

After Zhang Min finished listening, he was stunned for a full minute before returning to Guoshen.

"It's too much of a coincidence. If you don't shoot Producer Huang's scene, then Liu Changge won't be able to come back to participate in "Painted Skin 2". It has to start."

"Yeah, I think it's a coincidence too."

Xu Wen smiled.

Zhang Min's expression suddenly became very strange.

"Then I have some news to tell you."

"what news?"

Xu Wen was taken aback for a moment.

I thought: Could it be that these two are related?
Zhang Min smiled.

"That morning, Yang Shu called me and said that he wanted to start "Everything is Good 2"."

"."

"In addition to this, Penguin Films also contacted me last night, they want to start "Langya Bang 2"."

"."

"By the way, their director is still asking me, do you have any ideas about shooting "The World 2"?"

"."

"Actually, I forgot to tell you, that."

"Forget it, don't talk about it, my head is getting bigger now, how could there be so many projects coming to me all of a sudden."

Xu Wen frowned.

Zhang Min shrugged.

"Do you know why?"

"you say?"

"Because "Everything Is Good" became popular, and after "Everything Is Good" became popular, all your previous TV dramas were found out. Those TV dramas were already well-known, so they came up with the idea of ​​making a sequel. "

Zhang Min explained with a smile.

Xu Wen sighed.

The market is like this, and it is often driven by profit.

Xu Wen doesn't like this, but he has to admit that the current market is like this.

In the previous life, "Three Lives Three Worlds" created countless fairy tales and ancient puppets.

"Everything is Good" has become popular, so it is natural that someone wants to play "Everything is Good 2".

It is even possible that some companies are preparing urban dramas like "Everything is Good".

Thinking of this, Xu Wen asked curiously.

"Then is there any other company outside that is shooting a TV series similar to "Everything is Good"?"

"Yes, I have heard four or five of them so far."

Zhang Min nodded.

Xu Wen was a little surprised.

"Did you go to investigate specifically?"

"No, just by looking at the name, you can tell that it must be an imitation of "Everything is Good."

"name?"

"That's right, what are their names like "Everything is fine", "Everything is fine", "I'm fine"."

"."

Xu Wen didn't even know what to say.

These film and television companies have the money to restart a project, why can't they spend 5 cents to change the name?

Do you want to play Lianliankan?
Xu Wen shook his head expressing regret.

a few days later.

Xu Wen appeared in his second office.

This time the waiter was very knowledgeable, and Xu Wen showed great enthusiasm for Xu Wen as soon as he entered the door.

Xu Wen secretly nodded in his heart.

It seems that the money ability is still working.

The service attitude after being a member is much better than that of a non-member.

Then Xu Wen saw Huang Xun who had arrived earlier.

Moreover, the waiter's attitude towards Huang Xun was obviously much more enthusiastic than towards Xu Wen.

"Mr. Huang, your distinguished guest has been brought here for you."

The waiter bowed 90 degrees and left the place.

"Director Xu, I don't know what kind of tea you like to drink, so I ordered all the signature tea here."

Huang Xun said cheerfully.

He Nan looked at Huang Xun.

Just wanting to show that he is a distinguished VIP member here, he has drunk all the tea here.

As a result, he saw the card in Huang Xun's hand.

Although it was just a quick glance, it still made Xu Wen's eyes widen.

It is actually a more distinguished diamond VIP! !
No wonder the attitude of the waiters is so different.

snort!
It seems that I have to recharge some money!Only by charging a king vip can you be fully crushed!
Xu Wen felt a little Jiujiu in his heart.

But Huang Xun, who was on the opposite side, didn't know it, so he pulled a guy with a cut head beside him and introduced it to Xu Wen.

"Director Xu, let me introduce you. This is screenwriter Feng. Our company just came with an outstanding pen. You can just call him Xiaogang."

"Xiao Gang, quickly say hello to Director Xu!"

Huang Xun is like a matchmaker.

Bringing people who don't know each other to meet.
