This celebrity is too rich

Chapter 366 Character Achievement
Li Chuan was a little depressed.

In fact, he also knew that what he said was not in line with his usual driving style, and it was indeed easy to arouse suspicion if he said it abruptly.

However, he has already promised Zhou Mengxue that he must persevere to the end and not give up halfway.

He thought for a while, and then explained again: "Isn't Zhou Mengxue already popular now? There are millions of fans on Douyin, and there is also a dedicated fan support club... At this level, she is no longer the one who can do whatever she wants. It's a small role to handle.

Yesterday, when I was communicating with her, she told me that she recently received some invitations to play roles in online dramas, which means that she already has the opportunity to set foot in the film and television industry.

I can tell that she really wants to seize this opportunity and enter the film and television industry.

I was thinking, what would she do if I didn't agree?
I'm not afraid of her making trouble, after all, she is a full-time artist of the company, no matter how troublesome, I can cure her, but it's useless to just treat her, her fans can't be controlled.

If her fans find out, we will restrict her development and not allow her to enter the film and television industry... If the news spreads, it will definitely be a storm.

Once the fans get angry, the consequences will be serious... I mean, you understand, right? "

"Uh, understand."

Yu Jie looked a little embarrassed.

He didn't have any doubts about Li Chuan's statement, because Li Chuan's statement was reasonable and in line with Li Chuan's consistent behavior.

In his eyes, Li Chuan is such a person, who is meticulous in thinking, knows how to advance and retreat, puts interests first in everything, is more flexible in principles and bottom lines, is unwilling to take higher risks for some small things, and has a strong atmosphere of social elites or capitalists .

The reason why he felt embarrassed was because he helped set up Zhou Mengxue's fan support club.

In his opinion, if Zhou Mengxue's fans make trouble, then the fan club must be the base... If there is no fan club, Li Chuan probably won't worry about this problem.

The fan support club he helped Zhou Mengxue set up has now become Li Chuan's worry, which is why he feels embarrassed.

"That... I didn't think of this before, I..."

"fine."

Li Chuan knew what Yu Jie wanted to say, so he immediately waved his hands and said, "Didn't I tell you just now that I have no objection to her becoming a professional actress... I understand Zhou Mengxue's temper and character, she just wants to be an actress Well, I don't want to do anything else. If you force her to do live broadcast and e-commerce, it may be more uncomfortable than killing her.

That being the case, it is better to let her become a professional actor.Professional actors can make a lot of money if they do well.

Besides, didn't you say before that she has the talent to be a professional actress, and the conditions are very good... I have seen these things before.

I think you are right, she is indeed talented and qualified, and she is very suitable to be a professional actor.

Since she is suitable, let her go on this road, maybe she can really make a name for herself.

If she can make a name for herself, she can be regarded as helping the company expand its business, which is a great contribution. "

"Oh~."

Yu Jie was stunned.

At this moment, he felt that he had fully understood Li Chuan's thoughts, and his mind gradually settled down.

Seeing this, the corners of Li Chuan's mouth couldn't help curling up.

'It seems that my ability to make up nonsense has improved. '

Li Chuan muttered in his heart, but his face remained calm all the time.

"I understand what you mean."

Yu Jie pondered for a moment, and said, "In this case, let Zhou Mengxue become a professional actor. I will play the heroine of "Uncle and Little Sister" and "Night Hotel" with someone else."

"Ah."

Li Chuan nodded, and asked again: "Do you know "The Hidden Corner"?"

"The Hidden Corner?"

"You do not know?"

"do not know."

"Did Zhou Mengxue not tell you?"

"No."

Yu Jie shook his head and said, "I've been busy with the finishing work of "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" recently, so I don't have time to chat with her."

"Oh, "The Hidden Corner" is an online drama, and Zhou Mengxue was invited to play a role before."

"She wants to act?"

"Well, "The Hidden Corner" is an online drama adapted from a novel. I have read the original book, and it is very good. It has been adapted into a script, and the effect is also very good. Zhou Mengxue likes it very much and wants to participate in this drama."

"Then act, I have no objection."

"I know you're fine, but there's a question."

"What's the problem?" Yu Jie raised his eyebrows.

"The invitation sent to Zhou Mengxue by the crew of "The Hidden Corner" was for a small role named 'Xu Jing'. She didn't have many roles and no special features. She acted, but it didn't have much effect. She wanted to play another role... ...There is a character named 'Wang Yao' in the play, it's pretty good, there are enough roles, and she can also show her acting skills, she wants this role."

"Did she tell you all this?" Yu Jie asked in surprise.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"She told you this because she wanted you to help her change roles?"

"Ah."

"Since when did she become so courageous?"

Yu Jie said in disbelief, "She just drifted away when she got some grades?"

"No, you misunderstood."

Li Chuan quickly explained: "I asked her on my own initiative, and it has nothing to do with her."

"Oh, that's fine."

Yu Jie's face softened a little: "I thought she would float away so soon."

"Not floating."

Li Chuan waved his hand and explained again: "She is in good condition and nothing has changed. I asked her to answer the question before, and I agreed to change roles... After all, she is an artist of the company. It’s not the company’s main business, but if you can help, you must help.”

"I see."

Yu Jie nodded, and asked again: "Did you ask for her?"

"Not yet, she just told me yesterday that I have been busy all day today, and I haven't had time to help her ask questions, and, as you know, I don't have much contact with the film and television industry, and I don't understand many things, and many people don't I know, it’s quite troublesome to do things... You are different, you are from this major, and you have been in this circle before, so you should have some connections?"

Hearing this, Yu Jie hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What's the name of that web drama?"

"The Hidden Corner."

""The Hidden Corner"... I haven't heard of it, which company made it?"

"It seems to be called... Wannian Film and Television."

"Oh~."

"you know?"

"I heard that a company just established a few years ago is good at suspense themes and has produced several good web dramas."

"Do you know anyone from their company?"

"do not know."

Yu Jie shook his head: "I've only heard of it, but I haven't been in touch with it."

"Tsk."

Li Chuan frowned, and asked again: "What about iQiyi?"

"IQIYI?"

Yu Jie was stunned, and asked, "Is "The Hidden Corner" produced by iQiyi?"

"I don't know either. Zhou Mengxue told me that it belongs to iQiyi...you know what it's called, right?"

"I know."

Yu Jie nodded, and said, "If it's an account-sharing drama, it's also produced by iQiyi, and there's a high probability that it will be exclusively broadcast on iQiyi in the future."

"Iqiyi, can you speak to the crew?"

"It's definitely possible, iQiyi is the boss, so it must be easy to speak."

"Oh, do you know anyone from iQiyi?"

"I know a small producer, but I don't know if "The Hidden Corner" is handled by him."

"You should contact him first. If he didn't handle it, ask him to recommend someone who handled it for you... As long as you find someone, we have plenty of solutions."

"any solution?"

"Follow the normal process first, and if the normal way doesn't work, spend money to solve it."

"Uh."

Yu Jie was stunned for a while.

From Li Chuan's flat tone, he once again realized what it means to be "rich and self-willed".

A person like Li Chuan who doesn't know anything can do anything wrong in the film and television industry because of his money.

From the perspective of a film and television practitioner, he felt a little sad about this kind of thing.

However, he couldn't help it.

The ecology of the film and television industry is like this. Anyone with money can come in and have fun. It doesn't matter whether they are professional or not. Money is king.

Some people may think that this is a disease, but this disease cannot be cured.

The degree of industrialization of the domestic film and television industry is not high. The current situation of the industry is high investment and low output, and the economic benefits are not good.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for an industry with poor economic benefits to attract idle funds from the society, but the film and television industry is quite special.

The film and television industry has high exposure and high entertainment, which makes many people willing to participate in it even if they don't make money.

The influx of these "simple-minded" funds has led to a false and prosperous scene in the domestic film and television industry.

The "false prosperity" here is from the perspective of traditional economics. The specific manifestation is that outsiders think that the film and television industry is very profitable, but in fact, it is not that profitable at all... To put it bluntly, it is a big bubble.

These bubbles are caused by "simple-minded" funds. If the film and television industry rejects the influx of external funds, the bubble of the entire industry will be burst instantly. At that time, the film and television industry will plummet, and the status of film and television stars will also be destroyed Will not be guaranteed, and may even be reduced to ordinary migrant workers in the end.

These bubbles will be eliminated only when the domestic film and television industry is industrialized enough to be self-responsible for its own profits and losses, and can generate great economic benefits without the intervention of external funds.

At that time, the film and television industry will usher in real prosperity, and relevant practitioners will also protect their own value and status.

All of this, the domestic film and television industry is still unable to do it.

Of course, there are not many who can really do it. The whole world seems to be a Hollywood, and nothing else can do it.

Yu Jie is not very familiar with these phenomena, but he has worked in the industry for several years and generally understands some of them.

Therefore, in the face of those "simple-minded" funds, he never said anything.

"I'll call tomorrow."

Yu Jie pondered for a moment, then said, "It should be fine if I ask him for a call, but... Zhou Mengxue needs to prepare in advance if we want to follow the normal procedure."

"what to prepare?"

"Some materials, and auditions."

"what material?"

"The main thing is to submit photos, previous plays, and acting clips, which is similar to a resume."

"Oh, that's easy. You arrange an operation to cut out Zhou Mengxue's clips in "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary"... In this way, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

"Not much, Zhou Mengxue's performance in "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" is pretty good, so it should be fine."

"Well, don't be too confident, try to cut it as exciting as possible."

"I understand, I'll make arrangements in a moment."

"Is the audition troublesome?"

"I don't know, I'll have to wait until I ask."

"That's fine, you do it first, and report to me immediately when there is news."

"it is good."

"..."

……

The change of roles went smoothly unexpectedly.

After Yu Jie received Li Chuan's assignment, he contacted the small producer of iQiyi as soon as he went to work the next day.

After some communication, he learned that the project of "The Hidden Corner" was in charge of Dai Ying, the senior vice president of iQiyi.

Dai Ying participated in the battle in person, which shows that the level of the project "The Hidden Corner" is not low.

After hearing the news, Yu Jie was a little disappointed.

Because according to his work experience, in higher-level online dramas, each character is a fixed pit, and it is very difficult to squeeze out others to replace them.

However, it turns out that he guessed wrong.

When he asked for Dai Ying's phone number and tried to communicate with Dai Ying, Dai Ying showed great interest.

He sent Zhou Mengxue's clips in "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" to Dai Ying. After watching it, Dai Ying said directly, "Yes, I think it's very suitable!"

This sentence directly stunned him.

He just sent some editing clips, without asking Zhou Mengxue to audition, not even an introduction, Dai Ying agreed directly.

This is a bit exaggerated, and he can't understand it at all.

He thought about it for a long time but didn't understand it. In the end, he even wondered if he had encountered a liar.

Of course, he didn't meet a liar, Dai Ying's identity was true, and what she said was also true.

There are two main reasons why Dai Ying agreed so readily.

One is because she thinks Zhou Mengxue is really suitable.

Dai Ying has read "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" and is following up every day.

Because she watched a lot, she had a deep impression on Zhou Mengxue.

The reason why the crew of "The Hidden Corner" invited Zhou Mengxue to the role was because of her instruction.

Why is the invited character Xu Jing, not Wang Yao?

Because she felt that the role of Wang Yao was more difficult to play, and she needed an actress with acting skills.

At that time, "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary" was broadcast until Zhou Yuan's final blackening and outbreak.

She had never really seen Zhou Mengxue's acting skills, so she instinctively felt that Zhou Mengxue was not suitable.

However, when Yu Jie arranged the editing, he asked the operator to also cut some unbroadcast clips in "Sister Wei's Workplace Diary", including Zhou Yuan's final blackening and outburst.

Dai Ying's opinion is similar to Li Chuan's. After watching Zhou Yuan's final blackening and outburst, she immediately dispelled her doubts about Zhou Mengxue's acting skills. Moreover, she watched these clips and felt that she fit Wang Yao's role very well. high.

This is one of them.

Second, it was because she didn't like the actress who played Wang Yao.

It turned out that the actress who played Wang Yao had problems before. It seemed that she was playing big names and scolding the director. Everyone in the circle knew about it. The general crew was afraid of causing trouble, so they would not dare to cooperate with her easily.

The crew of "The Hidden Corner" chose her mainly because of her good acting skills and cheap price.

Wang Yao needs an actress with good acting skills to play, and an actress with good acting skills and suitable conditions is very expensive, and they have no choice, so they chose her.

If there is a more suitable candidate, they will definitely be willing to change.

Zhou Mengxue happened to be the more suitable one.

Zhou Mengxue not only has acting skills and a high degree of role fit, but also the price is cheaper, as long as a basic salary of 2 yuan.

Of course Dai Ying would not miss such a suitable actress, so after seeing it, she agreed without saying a word.

That's how the whole thing went.
