Entertainment starts with variety shows

Chapter 255 Investing Again

In the afternoon, Chang He, the editor of Reading Point, propped his chin, his eyes fixed on the screen... reading a novel.

There were people coming and going in the office, but no one paid any attention to him.

The editor's job is to read novels. If you don't read novels at work one day, then the editor-in-chief should trouble you.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes, so that's what it means?" Chang He murmured while touching his chin.

He was watching Shooting the Condors. The latest chapter was updated with Guo Jing pretending to be aggressive on the grasslands and competing with Zhebe, the number one archery master in Mongolia.

Obviously, the silly kid succeeded in pretending to be a fool, killing two birds with one stone!Shocked everyone, and the princess looked sideways.

"It seems that the author is not ignorant, this pretentious writing is very good! It is round and natural, not blunt at all."

Looking at the style of writing, he thought that this little tree was an old-fashioned old man who didn't repair or straighten. He didn't like the rhythm of the useless material becoming a genius in the Internet now, pretending to be a slap in the face.

Unexpectedly, the old man has strong writing skills, and the protagonist pretends to be no weaker than San Shao and Tomato.

Write down the name of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and Changhe will be included in this week's new book recommendation on the Wuxia Channel.

This is already the second recommendation of Shooting Condors. Last week, the popular category has increased by more than 30 favorites, and it is second in the same period. Currently, there are more than 8 words and [-] collections. It is so-so, neither good nor bad.

Give another recommendation to see the results. If there is improvement, he will continue to recommend it. If there is no improvement, it will fend for itself. If it can survive to 67 words, give him a limit exemption, and push it again with a million words.

……

"Brother Xu, are you alone?" At night, in a hotel in Hengdian, Fang Jing looked at a table of dishes depressedly.

When Xu Zheng invited guests to dinner, he thought there was a group of people who didn't dare to pick up food after coming in for more than ten minutes. Who knew that Xu Zheng said that there were only the two of them.

After taking a sip of wine, Xu Zheng smacked his mouth, "I'm not alone, who else do you think? Eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while."

"Okay, then I'm not going to be polite."

Holding the bowl, Fang Jing ate slowly, and the two chatted about homework and gossip in the entertainment industry. From Xu Zheng's mouth, he knew that Xu Zheng had only made two films from last year to now, both of which were supporting roles, and one of them was because of scale. The problem is still not on the screen.

When talking about acting, Fang Jing threw out the questions he didn't understand, and Xu Zheng patiently answered them one by one.

Before I knew it, it was late at night.

"Brother Xu, where is your crew? I'll go and have a look when I have a chance."

"I'm interested, costume drama, take a scene, I'm leaving in a few days, let's talk about it next time I have a chance."

"Drink less, it's almost enough, you still have to film a movie tomorrow, right?"

"No need!" Xu Zheng waved his hand and said slightly drunk: "I'm the assistant director now, and I'm the biggest person in this group, they can't control me."

"Okay, I've become an assistant director, congratulations."

"What's so exciting about this, I've been working behind the scenes a few years ago, and I've been a director several times, and now... hiccup! It's not easy to be an actor."

"Brother told you, you should work harder while you are young. The prime time of an actor is only a few years. When you reach my age, people will not want you."

Fang Jing knew what Xu Zheng meant, not that he didn't want it anymore, but that he couldn't play the leading role when he got old, he could only be a supporting role, and the market was like this.

Young audiences like handsome idols, you, a bad old man, will play the leading role, who will watch it except grandpa and aunt?
The most typical one is the movie "Forever and Forever", the male and female protagonists are all old actors, and they won two best actor and actress by virtue of this movie.

But the box office of the film was surprisingly low, and there were too few audiences to watch it. Young people said that they had no desire to buy tickets when they saw the name and the lineup.

"Brother Xu, the spring of a good actor will come, just wait for a while, and you'll be fine in two years."

"Who said that? Forget it, I'm so discouraged. I can't afford to be an actor anymore. It's better to go behind the scenes. Now that there are so many dramas, I don't have to worry about running out of movies."

Fang Jing smiled wryly, Xu Zheng said this himself, but he was a famous director in his previous life.

"Fang Jing, my friend has a notebook in his hand. I've watched it. It's a good comedy. Are you interested?"

"Investment?"

"No, for the role, I'm the first male, and you are the second male. Of course, it would be better if you are willing to vote for three or five million."

When it comes to majors, Xu Zheng came to the spirit: "Let me tell you, my brother discovered a rule, and comedy films are better sold now."

"Audiences go to the movie theater just for fun. If you make people heartbroken, cry, and die, who will come next time?"

What Fang Jing lacks most now is time. If you don’t watch it, it’s just code words. Xu Zheng usually runs movies, which require high quality, so it’s right to follow him.

"Brother Xu, of course I'm interested. What's your name? Who's the director?"

Now that Fang Jing is starting to choose high-quality dramas, apart from the script being good, it also depends on who the director and lead actor are.

Blushing, Xu Zheng stammered, "I'm on my way, and the director hasn't been decided yet? But the script must be good, written by Liu Yiwei."

"Liu Yiwei?" Fang Jing was puzzled, and it took him a long time to remember who it was. "Is that the copycat on TV?"

"Puff! Cough cough cough!" Xu Zheng choked on the wine, "That's just one of his identities, don't look at him as a cook, but he is very talented. In the early years, he worked as a screenwriter, director, actor, producer, magazine editor and host people."

"You don't know, he is still the deputy secretary-general of the Huaxia Directors Association, and the relationship is very strong."

Fang Jing's eyeballs almost fell to the ground in surprise. That bald guy who cooks every day on TV is the Secretary-General of the Directors Association?Or producer, director?
"Vote, definitely vote! I want this film, and no one will compete with you."

Leaving aside Liu Yiwei, it's a pity to let go of such a good comedy film like Jon Tu.

In the previous life, the production cost of 囧途 was 400 million, but the box office was 5000 million, more than ten times. It is the first case of a Chinese film with a small and big.

This was still in 2010, if it was a few years later, it would not be a problem to break one billion properly.

Later, the quality of the Thai and Hong Kong dramas directed by Xu Zheng was not as good as the first one, but the box office was several billion, which shows that the drama is strong.

Shaking his head, Xu Zheng came to his senses, "Are you serious?"

With the help of Jiu Jin, what he said casually just now was pure bragging. In fact, Liu Yiwei did have a book, and he also wanted to join, but now there is no shadow.

"Of course it's serious!" Fang Jing patted his chest and said, "Which one of us brothers is with whom, you can contact Liu Yiwei to buy the book, and I will pay for it. You will be the director, and we will take selfies and guide ourselves."

"The team is ready-made here, including lighting, cameras, props, and art."

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Xu Zheng was moved. Now his biggest wish is to be a director and shoot what he likes. This is stronger than his desire to be an actor.

But these years, I have been working for others, and I feel uncomfortable when I shoot for a long time. I have to shoot everything according to other people's ideas, and I don't feel free.

He knows that Fang Jing is rich, and he donated 1000 million a while ago. He is a proper local tycoon. In this situation, as long as he nods, things can be done [-]%.

"Are you serious? I haven't read the book yet, I've thought it through, what should I do if I lose money?"

"Thought it very clearly!" Fang Jing nodded, pretending to be relaxed and said: "If you talk about losing money, you will lose money. I don't care about the 800 million, just make more money."

Xu Zheng is depressed, damn it!Is this speaking human language?I didn't worry about 800 million yuan, and I just made more money. Those who didn't know thought it was 800 yuan.

This character is worthy of being a local tyrant, I like it!

"Hey Hey!!"
