This celebrity is too rich

Chapter 187 Zhou Mengxue

"What do you want me to do?" Li Chuan frowned.

Wu Jinyan said nothing, turned his head away, as if he was really angry.

Seeing this, Li Chuan frowned even deeper.

He didn't like someone threatening him like this, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, but he couldn't get angry.

Although Wu Jinyan is his woman, she is currently considered his employee, but women and employees are not his personal property. Wu Jinyan is first of all an independent individual with her own behavior and thoughts; secondly, she is also a popular star with influence. It's very big, not a small role that can be manipulated at will... If Wu Jinyan refuses to cooperate, there is nothing he can do.

"that……"

Yu Jie was a little embarrassed watching the scene, so he took the initiative to speak and persuaded again: "Mr. Sen, haven't you always wanted to promote your image as an 'entrepreneur'? You played the role of the chairman in a series of short dramas, so that the audience can establish such a perception." .”

"Um?!"

Li Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up, but after thinking about it, he frowned again and said, "This is just a short play, will the audience take it seriously?"

"If it's done well, the audience will take it seriously."

"Good acting?"

Li Chuan shook his head helplessly, and said, "I don't know anything about acting, how can I act well?"

"I said I would help you."

Wu Jinyan spoke again, and interjected: "Even if my acting skills are not good, I'm better than you. Your role is not difficult. You can do it with a little training. What can't you do?"

Li Chuan glanced at Wu Jinyan, but didn't speak, he was afraid that if he spoke, he would make him angry again.

"That... Teacher Wu's acting skills are quite good."

Yu Jie scratched his head, and said: "Mr. Sen, you play the role in your true colors. You don't need to learn about temperament, accent, etc., just be yourself... In other respects, as long as you know some acting skills, you can control it." , the final effect is not necessarily worse than that of professional actors, and may even be better.

In terms of acting skills... Although Ms. Wu has never won an acting award, she is still very proficient in basic acting skills. It will definitely be no problem for her to teach you. "

What Yu Jie said was reasonable and well-founded. After listening to it, Li Chuan was a little moved, but he was still quite entangled in his heart.

Yu Jie saw Li Chuan's hesitation, and said again: "Mr. Sen, even if your acting is not good, we can still promote it. The shooting location in the play is in our company. The company is a real company, and the boss is a real boss." , combined with your influence, this is a very good selling point, and if we promote this selling point, your image of an "entrepreneur" will be more three-dimensional and real, and the audience will be more convinced."

"Um?!"

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows. He felt that what Yu Jie said made sense, and he agreed with it.

"Ah."

Li Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll act."

As soon as these words came out, smiles appeared on both Wu Jinyan and Yu Jie's faces.

"but……"

As soon as Li Chuan raised his hand, the smiles on the faces of Wu Jinyan and Yu Jie stopped immediately.

Li Chuan didn't care, and continued on his own: "Don't add too much drama to me, I can't put too much energy into this matter, you should pay attention when writing the script, my role can be less Just try to keep as few as possible, and when shooting, try to concentrate on shooting, otherwise I may not have time."

"I'll keep an eye on this, but..."

Yu Jie also made a turning point, saying: "There can't be too few roles, the chairman is the number one male after all..."

"I understand this, you just do your best."

"Okay." Yu Jie nodded and accepted.

"Who do you want to play the role of girlfriend?"

Wu Jinyan asked.

Li Chuan agreed to play the role of the chairman, which made her very happy. Apart from being happy, she was also full of expectations for this series of short dramas, so she became concerned about the main creative lineup.

What is the main creative lineup?

Director, screenwriter, starring, etc.

Needless to say, the director and screenwriter must be Yu Jie.

Yu Jie is the initiator of this project. He proposed the suggestion of shooting a series of short plays; he also came up with the outline and direction of the script. With this in mind, the subsequent script creation, storyboard design, directing and shooting He will also be responsible for the work.

There is no doubt about Yu Jie's ability. He graduated from the director department of BJ Film Academy. Although he has not directed any movie or TV series, he still has basic skills. Let's talk about it.

Moreover, Yu Jie has been shooting short videos for so many years, and he is very familiar with the tonality of short video platforms. He knows what kind of video content can get more traffic on short video platforms. What the director doesn't have.

If this series of short dramas is handed over to traditional film directors or TV drama directors, it is likely to encounter Waterloo, because traditional movies or TV dramas cannot survive on a fast-paced short video platform like Douyin.

If you want to survive, you must change... This is something that many traditional film directors or TV drama directors cannot do, especially those who are older, the possibility is almost zero.

If you leave it to Yu Jie, you don't have to worry about this issue at all.

Yu Jie is from a professional background and has been shooting short videos all year round. He understands both movies and TV dramas, as well as short videos... The works produced by such people, even if the effect is not good, will not be bad. The minimum playback volume, It can still be guaranteed.

The director and screenwriter are Yu Jie, this has been confirmed, and the leading role... There are three leading roles in this series of short plays, one protagonist and two supporting roles.

The protagonist, Wei Ying, is played by Wu Jinyan; the supporting role, the chairman, is played by Li Chuan... The two roles have been decided, and now there is only the last supporting role - Wei Ying's best friend.

The role of "best friend" will be Wei Ying's best friend in the early stage, and she will often go abroad with Wei Ying. Later, she will be upgraded to a villain and launch a final attack on Wei Ying... This role is very important. The chairman is much heavier, and he can be regarded as the second character in the play.

Wu Jinyan saw this, so he paid more attention to the actor candidates for the role of "girlfriend".

"The role of girlfriend..."

After Yu Jie lowered his head and pondered for a while, he said, "I think Zhou Mengxue can give it a try."

"Zhou Mengxue?"

Li Chuan and Wu Jinyan spoke in unison, full of doubts in their tone.

"Yes, Zhou Mengxue."

Yu Jie was also a little confused and said: "Mr. Sen, have you forgotten that Zhou Mengxue is our company's contract expert."

"Oh?"

Li Chuan was quite surprised. He thought about it carefully, but still couldn't remember, and said, "Is there such a person in the company? The anchor who just signed in?"

"It's not that she just signed in. She has been in the company for a while, and she is not an anchor, but a short video expert."

"Short video... oh~!"

Li Chuan suddenly remembered.

At the end of last month, Sanmu Media turned to the live broadcast business in an all-round way. Most of the short video talents signed before have become anchors, and only four or five are still persisting.

After about a week, the four or five short video masters who were still persisting saw that the anchors were making too much money, so they all abandoned their ideals and changed careers to become anchors. In the end, there was only one person left.

That person is Zhou Mengxue.

In today's Sanmu Media, pure short video masters have disappeared, and Zhou Mengxue is the only exception.

It is also for this reason that when Yu Jie said the five words "short video expert", Li Chuan remembered it.

He remembered that Yu Jie mentioned this to him before, and Yu Jie told him: Zhou Mengxue's dream is to be an actor, and she is very determined, even if she can earn several times the money as an anchor, she will not let it go move.

At that time, he felt that Zhou Mengxue was too stubborn. He could not be tempted by money, nor could he be persuaded. Yu Jie stopped it.

Yu Jie said: Zhou Mengxue's conditions are good, and she can try to train in the direction of the drama number, which may have some future.

Li Chuan heard it at the time, but didn't take it seriously. He didn't know Zhou Mengxue, and he hadn't even seen it... Well, he might have seen it, but he didn't know who it was.

No matter what, since Yu Jie said that Zhou Mengxue is worth cultivating, he thought that the basic salary was only a few thousand yuan, so he simply let him try, so he dismissed the idea of ​​"fire Zhou Mengxue".

It was just a trivial matter, he didn't take it to heart at all, and after a few minutes, he completely forgot it... Until now, he just recalled it.

"Zhou Mengxue...can she do it?" Li Chuan asked with a trace of doubt.

"I think she's pretty good and should be able to take care of it."

"What's good? Good looks? Or good acting skills?"

"Well, haven't you seen her?"

"No."

Li Chuan shook his head, and added: "Maybe I have seen it, but I don't know it...I haven't been in the company often recently, and I don't know many new employees and new anchors."

"Oh."

Yu Jie nodded confidently, and explained: "Zhou Mengxue is indeed very beautiful, and her acting skills are also very good... The main reason is that she is willing to learn by herself. She often studies acting skills at home. I have also communicated with her a few times. It’s still relatively clear.”

Li Chuan curled his lips, turned to look at Wu Jinyan, and asked, "Do you think it's okay?"

"how could I know?"

Wu Jinyan spread his hands and said, "You don't even know her, let alone me. How can I know what's going on with her?"

"makes sense."

Li Chuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "How about this, you book a plane ticket for that Zhou Mengxue, and let her come to BJ tomorrow (turning to look at Wu Jinyan) You give her an interview, if you think it's okay, let her act, If you don’t think so, find someone else.”

"Okay." Wu Jinyan nodded.

"Well, let's do this first, um~~~"

Li Chuan stretched his waist and said, "Is there anything else to say?"

Yu Jie: "It's almost done. The basic framework is already in place. The rest is to choose the scene, build the crew, find actors and so on. These tasks can only be carried out one by one after I have written the script and drawn the storyboards. .”

Li Chuan: "How long will it take?"

Yu Jie: "Write the script and storyboard?"

Li Chuan: "Yes."

Yu Jie: "I'm trying to get it done before the end of the year, and start working immediately after the Chinese New Year, and try to start shooting before the end of February."

Wu Jinyan: "The end of February? So soon?"

Li Chuan: "Is this still fast? I think it's too slow."

Wu Jinyan: "What do you know? For a normal film and television project, it takes one or two years to prepare for it. Now...it's almost the end of January, and it's only a month or so away from the end of February. There will be Chinese New Year in between... We don't even have the script yet, can we make it in time?"

Li Chuan: "What, it will take a year or two! In a year or two, the day lily will be cold!"

Wu Jinyan: "The film and television industry is like this, and you don't understand."

Li Chuan: "I don't understand, but I think it's stupid. It takes a year or two to work on a film and television project, and you may not be able to make money in the end. Is this because your brain was kicked by a donkey? With this time, What's wrong with doing something?"

Wu Jinyan: "You only have money in your eyes, I'm too lazy to tell you."

Yu Jie: "Uh, that... Mr. Wu, let me explain: we are filming short dramas, not regular TV dramas... The scripts of TV dramas need to be reviewed and numbered. If they fail to pass the review, they must be sent back for revision. ; After the review, it is necessary to solicit investment and discuss sponsorship. The process is relatively cumbersome, so the pre-preparation time will be relatively long.

When we shoot short dramas, we don’t need to go through review, get a serial number, solicit investment, or negotiate sponsorship. Once the script is written, the storyboards are drawn, and the crew is set up, we can start shooting directly. There are not so many details.

And... I can shoot and broadcast at the same time.

For example, after filming an episode this morning, edit it in the afternoon, and release it in the evening, the time is very flexible...Of course, in order to avoid unexpected situations, we generally do not do this. Before the official release, we will try our best to Save a few episodes. "

Wu Jinyan: "Oh, that's it, I understand."

Yu Jie: "Well, according to our rhythm, it should be no problem to start shooting before the end of February. Your schedule...is it okay?"

Wu Jinyan: "No problem, I will arrange it."

Yu Jie: "That's good."

clap clap.

Li Chuan clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, there's nothing wrong with the series of short plays."

"Yes." Wu Jinyan said again.

"What else?" The smile on Li Chuan's face stopped.

"I still want to ask..."

Wu Jinyan looked at Yu Jie and asked, "What's the name of this series of short plays?"

"Ok?"

Li Chuan suddenly realized, nodded immediately, and said, "Yes, this question is more important (turning to look at Yu Jie) Have you thought about it?"

"I thought of one."

"Say."

""Sister Wei's Workplace Diary"...what do you think?"

"Miss Wei?"

"it is good!"

The voices of Li Chuan and Wu Jinyan collided, "Sister Wei" was asked by Li Chuan, and "OK" was said by Wu Jinyan.

"Where is it good?" Li Chuan turned to look at Wu Jinyan and asked.

"Sister Wei is Wei Yingluo's nickname, don't you know?"

"Ok?"

Li Chuan looked confused and said, "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, Mr. Mori."

Yu Jie explained: "Wei Yingluo's character in "Story of Yanxi Palace" is very smart and wise, and is welcomed by many girls. They gave Wei Yingluo a nickname, "Sister Wei" '."

"Oh."

Li Chuan responded, and his mind turned quickly.

He thinks the nickname "Sister Wei"...is pretty good!
"Sister Wei" has the word "姐" in it, which sounds quite domineering...Wu Jinyan will be doing live streaming in the future, so with a more domineering nickname, the effect will be much better.

"can!"

Li Chuan nodded immediately, and said: "Just use this name. In addition, when you write the script, try to mention the word 'Sister Wei' as much as possible. Let's try to pass this series of short plays and give her ( pointing at Wu Jinyan) to set the nickname 'Sister Wei'!"
