China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 156 Fan Xiaopang’s office plot! (Please subscribe!)
In May, big news in the entertainment industry continued.

The first is the upcoming martial arts movie "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou.

This movie is a super-large production with an investment of US$3000 million, and it is definitely a blockbuster for the mainland film and television industry.

It is said that the creative team of "Hero" has been basically confirmed and actor auditions will begin soon.

The second bomb came from Lin Xuan, the "No. [-] niche student in the Mainland".

After more than a year, he once again took up the director's chair and will direct his first TV series.

Not much specific news has been released. I only heard that the investment is large and it is also a martial arts film.

These two news, one after another, made the water in the entertainment industry boil again.

Zhang Yimou's movies are too high-end.

Most actors are not even qualified to audition, so they can only watch helplessly as others steal the show.

Lin Xuan's TV series are also of high quality.

Those who are qualified to audition are all popular actors and stars in the industry.

But compared to Zhang Yimou's movies, the difficulty of participating in Lin Xuan's TV series is still much lower.

So people in the circle immediately started taking action.

People who knew Lin Xuan started calling him to get closer.

If you don’t know him, try to find a way to get to know him through other friends.

According to the six-dimensional space theory, you can get to know any stranger in the world through up to five intermediaries.

What's more, it's a small entertainment industry.

In addition to actors, major film and television companies are also very interested in this TV series.

Lin Xuan is a good medicine for ratings. Every drama with him has high ratings.

High ratings mean that there are TV stations willing to pay a high price for it.

Take "Journey to the West" published two years ago as an example.

To this day, many local TV stations continue to purchase and broadcast the show.

Although the current selling price is very low, the advantage in quantity is enough to offset the price disadvantage.

Therefore, investing in Lin Xuan's TV series can almost be equated with making money.

Therefore, those film and television companies are also trying their best to get to know Lin Xuan and look for investment opportunities.

Everyone wanted to contact him, and the poor cell phone turned into a vibrator.

Before, no matter how impatient he was, he would still answer with a few polite words.

But as his position in the circle gradually became more stable, he began to enjoy the treatment of a big boss.

Lin Xuan didn't answer anyone's call and directly handed the phone to Qian Ze:

"Please answer these calls for me. They are probably all for TV series.

You write down their requirements and be careful to distinguish the actors from the film and television companies. "

"Good boss."

Qian Ze took the phone and sat on the chair, holding a pen and paper in his hand and started taking shorthand.

Lin Xuan himself was not idle either.

He is busy budgeting the show.

In 05, Wang Jing spent 3000 million on "The Best in the World".

In 01, at least 500 million can be saved.

However, the new version of the script is different from the original script in many places. Some content has been deleted and many big scenes have been added.

The creative team, scene layout, costumes, cast and other aspects also need to be upgraded.

The most important thing is that if you don’t make the market bigger, you won’t be able to attract more investors.

Lin Xuan did a rough calculation based on his own ideas, and found that the budget had reached about 4000 million.

He definitely wants to invest in this drama, and he just hopes to get points by earning money from the investment.

As an important partner, Huayi will also join.

The third company is CCTV, there is no doubt about this.

CCTV has a very good relationship with Lin Xuan and has discussed this matter with him before.

And for the sake of ratings and popularity, his drama must be broadcast on CCTV [-].

Three investors, each investing 1000 million.

With the remaining budget, we can bring in another investor.

But the fourth company needs to be strictly screened.

Lin Xuan's drama cannot be invested if you have money.

It has to help the show in other ways.

While Lin Xuan was thinking about it, Zhang Qiang knocked on the door and walked in: "Boss, Miss Fan is here."

"She came so quickly. Let her come in."

"Good boss."

In order to participate in Lin Xuan's drama, some people tried their best to get the role.

But some people can take shortcuts, and Fan Xiaopang is one of them.

Not long after, there was a patter of footsteps outside the study.

The high heels she wore today were quite loud.

Opening the door, Fan Xiaopang, wearing a designer dress, rushed over:

"Husband, I miss you so much!"

Feel the strong touch on your back.

A word came to Lin Xuan's mind.

Meat bomb blast!

"Hey, don't scream... I'm still a husband, not a boyfriend or girlfriend."

"I don't care, I'm going to call! Husband, husband, husband..."

Fatty Fan hung on him like a koala, his head shaking like a rattle.

"It's up to you, be careful of talking nonsense outside." Lin Xuan shook his head helplessly.

"No, I'm very strict with my mouth. Husband, I heard that you are going to film a new TV series?"

"Well, that seems to be the case."

"Is there any role suitable for me?"

"You want a role?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Have you finished filming your movie with Lu Yi?"

Speaking of movies, he suddenly remembered that the two of them had a bet.

"Once it's shot, how long does it take to make a small-budget movie?"

Fan Xiaopang suddenly leaned over and said:

"I'm telling you, I'm borrowing the kissing scene in this drama. Are you touched?"

"Well, touched!"

"What about my role?"

Lin Xuan pretended to think: "Well..."

"stop!"

Fan Xiaopang reached out and covered his mouth.

"I understand!" Lin Xuan looked confused: "What do you understand?"

Fan Xiaopang did not answer, but got under the desk.

"I rely on!"

Lin Xuan was startled, surprised and happy: "Where did you learn this trick from?"

Didn't Xiaopang watch some teachers' movies?

"Hey, you like it."

Fan Xiaopang simply tied up his hair:

"Leave me alone and continue reading the information."

After saying that, she started to work hard.

Lin Xuan smiled and continued browsing his notes.

…………

After half an hour.

Fan Xiaopang wiped his mouth and walked out of the bathroom and sat down next to him.

"Husband, are you satisfied?"

"Well, very satisfied."

"Is there a role suitable for me now?"

"do not know."

"you dare!"

Fan Xiaopang rolled his eyes, and his whole body exploded with energy, without any of the charming energy he had just now.

My mouth is sore!

If you dare not give me a role, I will bite you to death.

Lin Xuan scratched his head and handed her the script synopsis:
"Watch it for yourself. If you have a favorite character, tell me."

"Haha, thank you husband, mua..."

After getting the script, Fan Xiaopang sat aside and read it carefully.

There was not much content in the introduction, just a few hundred words. She read it in 5 minutes, and then looked at Lin Xuan with admiration.

genius!

Absolute genius!

Nowadays, whether in mainland China or Hong Kong and Taiwan, martial arts dramas are basically monopolized by the five great masters of Jin, Gu, Huang, Liang, and Wen.

What's on TV are TV series adapted from their novels.

There are very few exciting original martial arts works, especially in the mainland.

Lin Xuan's script fascinated Fan Xiaopang, a person who was not interested in martial arts.

This script is so exciting and my man is awesome!
"Husband, I want to play Shangguan Haitang."

Lin Xuan shook his head directly: "No."

"Why?"

Lin Xuan frowned and thought for a while:
"You are too beautiful for Shangguan Haitang."

Hearing this, Fan Xiaopang smiled unconsciously.

Lin Xuan sighed in his heart, this is the charm of language.

Then, Fan Xiaopang said doubtfully:
"Shangguan Haitang is the heroine. How can any heroine not be beautiful?"

Lin Xuan explained: "Shangguan Haitang is the No. [-] secret agent of Xuanzi and the owner of the No. [-] village in the world.

On weekdays, she always shows herself in men's clothing, and her whole body exudes a heroic spirit.

Of course she is also very beautiful, otherwise even the emperor would not be able to fall in love with him.

To sum up, I look handsome in men's clothes and beautiful in women's clothes. Only by mastering both styles at the same time is Shangguan Haitang in my mind. "

"So complicated."

Fan Xiaopang curled his lips and asked: "Then who do you want to play?"

Lin Xuan shook his head: "I don't know either. I can only wait until the audition."

"If I can't play Shangguan Haitang, then I will..."

She was about to say Princess Yunluo, but she quickly realized that there was an important thing she hadn't asked.

"Who are you playing?"

"It's not decided yet!"

"Nonsense, you are a screenwriter. You must have thought about who you want to play when you wrote the script."

"I'm not lying to you, that's what I thought about it.

I have a versatile image and good acting skills. I can play Duan Tianya, Gui Hai Yida, Cheng Right and Wrong.

When I wait for the audition, I will choose other roles first, and I will play whoever is left in the end. "

This was not to fool her, Lin Xuan really considered it that way.

"So that's how it is..."

Fan Xiaopang flipped through the script and frowned in confusion: "Then who should I choose?"

Lin Xuan reached out and took away the script:
"Forget it, just stop looking.

You definitely can't play Shangguan Haitang, and there's nothing to choose from the remaining supporting roles. You can just choose any one at that time.

Anyway, as long as I am here, your character will definitely not be able to escape. "

These words were so domineering that Fan Xiaopang's eyes almost rolled with laughter.

"Okay, that's it."

With Lin Xuan's guarantee, she didn't bother to worry about it.

She stretched, walked to the equipment and looked out:
"Your villa is really nice. There is such a big lawn outside. Sister Hua is so kind to you."

"That's not what you said."

Fan Xiaopang is quite popular now.

As a strong competitor of Huayi's first sister, it is natural for Wang Jinhua to arrange a villa for her.

"My villa is not as big as yours."

Fan Xiaopang said casually without any jealousy.

She is still competing with Li Bingbing for the position of Huayi's first sister.

But Lin Xuan's position as the first brother is as stable as Mount Tai.

The first brother here is not only Huayi, but also the entire entertainment industry.

Of course, the age requirement must be under 35 years old.

Anyone who exceeds this line is not an elder brother, he should be called an uncle.

"I heard that you also bought a courtyard house. Remember to leave the best room to me."

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes at her: "How shameless are you? The best room must be mine."

Hearing this, Fan Xiaopang came closer and said with a charming smile:

"Of course I know, so I'll just stay in your room."

Lin Xuan's heart beat faster and he was speechless for a moment.

This fat girl is getting better and better at flirting.

"Go out and don't affect my work."

"Then I'll cook for you."
