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

Chapter 627 The popularity is off the charts!

Xiaoqian is a well-known producer in the industry.

Relying on his keen vision and good ability, he has produced 4 TV series that can be regarded as small explosions.

Regardless of strength or reputation, he is a producer that the directors are happy to cooperate with.

It is also one of the producers that investors trust.

However, with the four small hits, Xiaoqian is no longer satisfied with producing some small hits.

So there was an idea of ​​wanting to make a big move.

He also felt that it was time for him to make a big hit TV series.

After Xiaoqian persuaded the investor to come up with a budget of 1.4 million, he started the process of building a team.

First and foremost is the director.

For the choice of director, Xiaoqian firmly chose Xu Wen without even thinking about it.

One is that Xu Wen had a phenomenal TV series like "Langya Bang".

And the previous TV series were basically well-received and well-received.

The second is that the popularity has been rising recently, and it has become another phenomenal TV series after "Langya Bang". "Wulin Biography" is also Xu Wen's work.

It can be said that Xu Wen is already the sweet pastry in the eyes of producers and the meat of Tang Monk in the eyes of investors.

It is a consensus in the circle that cooperating with Xu Wen will definitely make money.

There are even rumors recently that the film and television company that co-produced "Wulin Biography" with Xu Wen has increased its market value a lot thanks to "Wulin Biography"!

Even Huang Xun, the producer of "Wulin Biography", has become very popular.

The actors of "Wulin Biography" also more or less ushered in the peak of their careers.

But these are nothing compared to Xu Wen.

After all, where is Xu Wen's past achievements, plus the popularity of "Wulin Biography".

It can be said that Xu Wen already has the qualifications of a top-level TV drama director in Huaguo.

It is also because of Xu Wen's fame and status.

Before getting the 1.4 million budget, Xiaoqian didn't dare to come to Xu Wen.

After preparing everything, Xiaoqian contacted a producer he knew before.

The lead producer knew Xu Wen when Xu Wen made his first TV series "The World".

At that time, he was one of the assistant directors of "The World".

Xiaoqian doesn't know Xu Wen, so he can only find Xu Wen through this intermediate relationship.

After making an appointment, Xiaoqian met the producer.

As soon as we met, Xiaoqian said that he was preparing for a big-budget TV series recently.

Got a budget of 1.4 million.

Although it is often heard that the cost of some movies or TV series is as high as 3 million or 4 million.

But after all, it is still windy and water chestnut.

In the entertainment industry, there are many works with an investment of less than 5000 million yuan.

More than 5000 million is already very good.

And if it can exceed 1 million, basically everyone defaults to it as a big production.

So when he heard that Xiaoqian got a budget of 1.4 million, the producer's eyes lit up.

After all, this level of budget already belongs to the top of the pyramid.

And when the producer asked Xiaoqian with a smile, who would he like to play and direct.

Xiaoqian said that without hesitation.

"I want to invite Director Xu Wen to direct. I don't consider any other directors. If I can get this budget, the investor will approve it for me because I intend to hire Xu Wen to direct. So apart from Xu Wen, I don't intend to invite others, but I invite you to come today, and I also want to ask you to help me get in touch with Director Xu."

The producer's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Xiaoqian suspiciously.

"You want to invite Xu Wen?"

"Yes, what's the problem? I used a budget of 1.4 million to make a TV series. To be honest, my budget of 1.4 million should not be considered a small cost."

Xiaoqian said it as a matter of course.

The producer groaned.

"Let me tell you this, with your budget, I can guarantee that you will hire more than 90% of the directors and actors in the entertainment industry."

"But it doesn't include Xu Wen, because Xu Wen belongs to the 10%, and 10% of the 8% belong to those who have faded out of the entertainment industry and don't want to make movies."

"The remaining 2% are because they are too top-notch. You can't invite people like Gong Li and Chen Daoming. Unfortunately, Xu Wen is also in this category recently."

Xiaoqian was taken aback for a moment, and said in disbelief.

"Brother, don't lie to me, I heard that the budget of "Wulin Biography" is only 6000 million! How can I not be able to hire Xu Wen with 1.4 million now."

"Ha! 1 million is Xu Wen's budget before filming "Wulin Biography", but now?"

The producer shut up halfway through his words.

Xiaoqian was a little anxious.

"Brother, don't be foolish, tell me the truth."

The producer looked at Xiaoqian with a smile.

"Xu Wen is the hottest director in the industry right now. As far as I know, 17 companies have invited Xu Wen to film."

"The threshold of Xu Wen's family has been broken. Do you know what the highest budget among these 17 companies is?"

Xiaoqian shook his head.

"8000"

"It's not high either."

"It's Dao Le! Converted into Chinese currency, it's almost 5 million!"

The producer said slowly.

"tear!"

Xiaoqian took a deep breath.

5 billion! !

With such a high budget, it is enough to shock the entire entertainment industry in Huaguo.

Xiaoqian couldn't help but said.

"With such a high budget, even if it is made into a TV series, except for the top platforms such as Penguin and Kiwi, who else can follow it, even TV stations."

"You're right, it was Penguin who quoted, and there are other real estate companies and financial companies."

"But they don't specialize in filming TV dramas either."

"That's right, but they can't hold back Director Xu's fame. Although they don't know how to make TV dramas, they know that they can make money by cooperating with Director Xu. As long as it's about making money, who do you think won't come? Besides, these people are still Do you think your 1.4 million is still competitive when you are grabbing Xu Wen?"

The producer looked at Xiaoqian with a smile.

As if mocking him, he actually wanted to hire Xu Wen with 1.4 million.

Xiaoqian froze.

He never thought that Xu Wen's life has become so hot now.

It was hard for him to get the 1.4 million budget.

Now that he has no competitiveness at all, this makes him a little reconciled.

"Then when can I cooperate with Xu Wen?"

"I don't know, when will Xu Wen suffer a big failure like Boss Yang did, but I think the possibility is zero."

The producer shrugged.

Seeing Xiaoqian's distraught look, the producer continued.

"Xu Wen is now the hottest director in the industry, not to mention asking him to make a TV series, even if he is invited to be a guest actor at a high price, there are many people."

"The entertainment industry has never been short of rich sponsors. I heard that several production crews couldn't invite Xu Wen to make a film, so they wanted to invite Xu Wen to be a guest actor."

"The quotation has reached an outrageous level of 100 million a day! Do you still want to invite Xu Wen? You can't invite Xu Wen at all!"

The words of the producer made Xiao Qian's heart sink to the bottom.

After finally getting the small money in the budget, he is not reconciled to failure.

So I contacted several known producers and producers.

They all laughed out loud when they learned that Xiaoqian wanted to invite Xu Wen to direct.

They couldn't even invite Xu Wen even if they wanted to. How could they invite Xu Wen with such a small budget?

So many people advised Xiaoqian to give up this idea.

But Xiaoqian is not someone who gives up easily.

After finding an investor again, Xiaoqian talked about Xu Wen's current market situation.

Persuaded investors to increase the budget from 1.4 million to 1.8 million.

With this 1.8 million, Xiaoqian plans to try again.

But the changes in the entertainment market are just like stocks.

Xiaoqian got another bad news.

"What! Which of the companies that invited Xu Wen had the highest offer of 1 million knives!"

Xiaoqian was dumbfounded.

Why is Xu Wen's quotation the same as buying a house, one price per day!

In the end, Xiaoqian gave up.

So the matter of Xiaoqian became an interesting story in the circle.

While making fun of Xiaoqian, everyone is also jealous of Xu Wen's current popularity.

It can be said that Xu Wen's price for directing a TV series has completely surpassed that of his peers.

And they are among the top batch of artists.

In terms of price, it can surpass Xu Wen's basic wind-haired water chestnut.

Thanks to the popularity of "Wulin Biography", Xu Wen gained far more popularity than the actors in the play.

Zhang Min is very busy every day, receiving representatives from various companies every day.

The matter of Xiaoqian is not a joke. During this time, the total number of invitations and scripts handed over to Xu Wen has exceeded 20!
And some crews also found another way, since they couldn't spend money to hire Director Xu to be the director.

Then ask Director Xu to be an actor.

A TV series paid 100 million a day to invite Xu Wen to play a guest role.

A movie cost 5000 million yuan, and Xu Wen was asked to play the leading role.

A certain variety show reported 7000 million yuan, and Xu Wen was invited to be the resident guest.

It can be said that Xu Wen's quotation has basically entered the era of tens of millions.

All kinds of shocking prices are just like playing.

In the past, only the remuneration for filming TV series could reach this level.

But now it can be said that it is all aspects.

TV, variety shows, movies, etc.

Although Zhang Min was very eager to see these quotations, Xu Wen was alone.

So Zhang Min ruthlessly refused and dropped a lot.

But it still couldn't stop the steady stream of invitations.

Some frantic crews even hired some assistant directors who had worked with Xu Wen before to direct because they couldn't get Xu Wen.

It can be regarded as a wave of heat.

It can be said that Xu Wen is a piece of gold placed anywhere.

Everyone wants to go up and touch it a few times.

And because Xu Wen's popularity has risen, Xu Wen's previous TV series have ushered in a period of soaring hits.

Many platforms that own Xu Wen's works have released their works one after another.

Even dramas like "Langya Bang 2", which has not yet started filming, were sold by a certain video platform at a price that was twice the predetermined price.

Behind these crowds of traffic, Xu Wen himself is not easy.

In the past few days, I have not been able to return messages and emails on my mobile phone.

Some of them were messages sent by artists they worked with before, and some producers they didn’t know called.

Even a slightly rational person like Zhang Min has changed the messages he sent to Xu Wen these days.

"Mr. Zhang of Bona Film Industry, invested 3 million, please make a TV series"

"Zhongcheng Group invested 4 million, please make a movie."

"Xu Wen, do you want to consider going to the crew of "Little Cannon" as a guest star, 100 million a day."

It is simply a money-making machine for Mo's feelings.

But to say that the happiest person is Huang Xun.

He didn't think of it himself, a dream he had.

It was actually photographed by Xu Wen.

Even if it is shot, the number of clicks is still so high.

The heat brought him made him a lot of money.

So much so that he proposed the idea of ​​making "Wulin Biography 2" with Xu Wen.

But this idea was dismissed by Xu Wen as soon as he said it.

Because the previous work became popular, I want to make a new TV series, and there have been many quarrels.

Xu Wen didn't want such a thing to happen again.

And Huang Xun also knew Xu Wen's taboo, so he didn't mention it again.

Compared with Zhou Pingping and Yang Shu, Huang Xun's advantage is that he can understand clearly.

Know where Xu Wen's taboo is.

But even without this point, Huang Xun would not dare to disobey Xu Wen now.

Xu Wen's current popularity is no longer something that Huang Xun can shake.

And Yang Shu's fate can be regarded as a wake-up call for Huang Xun.

"Wulin Biography" is now halfway through the broadcast, but the audience's enthusiasm for "Wulin Biography" has not diminished.

At present, the animated version of "Wulin Biography" produced by China Central Station is already in production.

According to some people I knew before, the place where "Wulin Biography" was filmed before has also become the most popular scenic spot in the area.

The temporary "Tongfu Inn" is full of people every day.

So far, "Wulin Biography" has not received less than 2 million new hits every week.

The highest one almost broke 4 million.

Up to now, the total hits of "Wulin Biography" have exceeded 20 billion.

It can be said that "Everything is Good 2" is far behind.

And everyone knows that the final data of "Wulin Biography" is more than 20 billion.

Some people even predict that "Wulin Biography" will break 20 billion in the middle of its broadcast, and it will be absolutely no problem to break 50 billion by the end.

It is possible to surpass the more than 110 billion created by "Langya Bang" one year after it aired.

"Phenomenon level" is still the most eye-catching title of "Wulin Biography".

But good things always come with double happiness.

Just when "Wulin Biography" was in full swing.

The "Golden Magnolia" Award and the "Hua Ding Award", two of the most important awards in Huaguo TV dramas, announced the shortlist at the same time.

"Nirvana in Fire" was nominated for 9 nominations for the "Golden Magnolia" Award, including Best Director, Best TV Series, and Best Screenplay!
It is one of the TV series with the most nominations among the TV series that "Golden Magnolia" was shortlisted.

On the "Hua Ding Award", "Langya Bang" scored twice and was nominated for 8 nominations again.

It became the first time in history to be shortlisted for two authoritative awards with the same work.

There is an unwritten rule in the entertainment industry.

That is, the same work will not be shortlisted for multiple awards.

But "Langya Bang" broke this rule.

When this matter was announced, it caused another shock in the circle.

The popularity of "Wulin Biography" hasn't dropped yet.

Xu Wen is at the right time of heat.

Now there is another incident like this, which has raised Xu Wen's enthusiasm to a higher level!
For a while, Xu Wen's fame once again had a good sense of existence in the circle.

There is no two in the limelight!
