The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 491: New Works of Misty Theater

"Eh? Where are the people on the stage? How come they disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

"Just now someone said that the person on the stage was Luo Ming. I thought it was unlikely, but now I believe it."

"Indeed, if someone in the entertainment industry sang a song like this, they would be so eager to be welded on the stage, how could they just leave the stage?"

"It's 100% Luo Ming. This song "Ordinary Road" is just like the "Blue and White Porcelain" sung by Wenwen before. It uses the most ordinary and common melody to repeat over and over again, but it sounds so high-end. Currently, he is the only one in the entertainment industry who has written songs like this."

"Luo Ming is really awesome! Won't his creative inspiration run out?"

"This song 'Ordinary Road' is absolutely a masterpiece. I have a feeling it will be a hit."

The people in the audience were talking about it, as were the stars backstage.

However, most of the stars were whispering the song "Ordinary Road" to the people around them, and only a few people who were familiar with Luo Ming dared to come closer.

You have to know that this person is the president of Zhuoguang Technology! The real big capital, let alone them, even the boss of their company is not qualified to get close to this person.

Now many people say that Zhuoguang Technology is the leading company among emerging Internet companies and the only one among the new generation of Internet companies that has the potential to become comparable to the BAT Big Three.

No entertainment company would dare to challenge such a behemoth.

Moreover, Zhuoguang Technology owns Huayue Entertainment, a large entertainment company that ranks among the top five in China.

Generally speaking, he is ranked at the top of the list.

Previously, Huayue Entertainment was indeed ranked fifth in terms of market value, but as Huayue Entertainment joined forces with Zhuoguang Technology, the market value of Huayue Entertainment also rose and now has reached 200 billion.

This market value has surpassed Star Entertainment and Haohai Entertainment, and has jumped to the third place among domestic entertainment companies.

Huayue Entertainment is already a huge company for many celebrities in the entertainment industry, not to mention Zhaoguang Technology.

Therefore, even though many people wanted to get to know Luo Ming and curry favor with him, no one dared to come forward.

At this moment, Luo Ming is only surrounded by his own people.

"Why do you suddenly want to sing?" Lin Shuwen asked as she took the guitar from Luo Ming's hand.

“I just suddenly felt like singing.”

"Really? I thought you were trying to solicit customers for Sister Lan!"

Hearing this, Luo Ming glanced at Gao Lan.

Gao Lan noticed Luo Ming's gaze and immediately said, "Boss Luo, thank you for your song. With this song, my bar will surely be successful."

Luo Ming nodded and didn't say much.

"Mr. Luo, your song is really great." Aurora's captain Mi Qingzi said with admiration.

"President, this is Si Guoyi!" Tezuka Nanaha also gave a thumbs up.

"Alright, alright! Stop flattering Mr. Luo and go tune your instruments! You'll be on stage soon!"

When the people in Aurora heard Qin Sinuo's words, they turned around and left obediently.

After driving the people away, Qin Sinuo said flatteringly: "Boss Luo, if you have such a good song, don't sing it at this time! It would be great if you could give it to us, Aurora!"

"Qin Sinuo, what do you mean? You don't want my bar to be good, right?"

"Ahem! I was just saying this casually!"

Luo Ming smiled and said, "I actually prepared a song for Aurora."

"What song?"

"Manager Qin, you should know that the company is filming a movie called "The Richest Tomato", right?"

"I know!"

"There's a song called 'Calories' in this movie, and I want Aurora to sing it, and all five of us to sing it together."

Qin Sinuo's eyes lit up. All the songs that President Luo brought out were good. Besides, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was performed by the original cast of "Charlotte's Troubles", so the box office would definitely not be low.

So Qin Sinuo agreed immediately.

It was already 12 o'clock in the evening when Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen returned home. There was nothing they could do as the show was over at 11:.

Everyone is there now, so they have to stay until the show is over, right?
The two of them simply washed up and fell asleep.

The news about Lin Shuwen singing "Later" and Luo Ming suspected of singing "Ordinary Road" directly became the top hot searches on the Internet.

It gave the audience, who were still unsatisfied after watching the seventh episode "The Beginning", more things to talk about.

The protagonist of the seventh episode of "The Beginning" is Uncle Watermelon, an uncle who has been in prison and carries a big sack.

But Rudi was ultimately unable to enter the loop.

This was actually expected by some viewers, because the foreshadowing left when Rudi and the male and female protagonists parted in the sixth episode was too clear. As long as he said his name, he would help the male and female protagonists. What's the difference between this and clearly saying that he will not join the cycle?
But despite this, many viewers still felt a little regretful that Rudi was not able to join the duo of the male and female protagonists.

No matter how regretful it is, we still have to continue watching the show.

The beginning of the seventh episode revealed that Uncle Watermelon had been in prison, and many viewers subconsciously regarded Uncle Watermelon as the key suspect.

The watermelon uncle was holding a sack with a hole in it. Through the hole, he saw that there were watermelons inside. But who could guarantee that there was no bomb mixed in such a big sack?

So in order to confirm whether Uncle Watermelon was a suspect, during the verification process, Xiao Heyun kicked the sack, and then stepped on it, breaking the watermelons inside.

Uncle Watermelon immediately stood up and roared at Xiao Heyun, "What are you doing? Why did you kick my watermelon?

"Hey! No fighting, no fighting! What are you doing?" The happy brother who was doing the live broadcast said immediately.

When Uncle Watermelon heard this, he immediately squatted down, raised his left hand high, and began to answer. This was a habit he developed after going to prison, a conditioned reflex of his body.

Finally, the old man opened the sack and took out the watermelons one by one to check with a distressed look on his face.

The audience learned from him that these watermelons were all grown by him and he didn't want to sell them but to give them to his son to eat.

Then the watermelon uncle distributed the broken watermelons to everyone in the car and gave them to everyone to eat.

In such a joyful atmosphere, at the end of the seventh episode, the sound of "Canon" still rang out and the bus still exploded on the cross-river bridge.

At the end of this episode, the old man’s identity and background were revealed, and his suspicion was cleared.

Many viewers felt that it was somewhat arbitrary for them to think that Uncle Watermelon was a suspect when they first saw that he was a released prisoner.

But this also illustrates a problem: people released from prison will still be discriminated against in society and their subsequent life will be very difficult.

It is a great honor to know one's mistakes and then improve them, but some things cannot be easily erased once they have happened. The next day, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen both slept until they woke up naturally.

Lin Shuwen got up earlier, but it was almost 10 o'clock, and when Luo Ming got up, it was already 11 o'clock.

The two of them had breakfast and lunch together. After dinner, Lin Shuwen suddenly remembered something and turned to Luo Ming and said, "A Ming, I forgot to tell you that the editing of Crazy Stone was completed before! Miao Miao later sent it for review. The night before yesterday, Miao Miao told me that it had been reviewed."

"Really? Then arrange for it to be released during the National Day holiday! This movie is going to be the annual box office champion."

"Will it work? The investment in this movie is not high!" Lin Shuwen said with a puzzled look on her face.

"Don't worry! It definitely works!"

"Okay! Since you are so confident, I will wait and see."

It's a new week in the blink of an eye. This week Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen are in a state of mutual penetration.

Luo Ming specifically told Lin Shuwen not to use administrator privileges.

The two of them attended the weekly meetings of Zhuoguang Technology and Huayue Entertainment respectively in an intertwined state.

Luo Ming felt that Lin Shuwen needed to know what new projects Zhuoguang Technology had launched recently, and he also wanted to know about the latest developments of Huayue Entertainment.

Luo Ming, who was in a female account, arrived at the meeting room of Huayue Entertainment on time. After he sat down, the weekly meeting of Huayue Entertainment was held.

The weekly meeting begins with a talk about the achievements of "Beginning" and a report on the progress of work in the previous week.

Luo Ming listened carefully and felt that there was nothing special that required special attention.

After the work report, Sister Shan took the initiative to bring up the matter of "Ode to Joy": "The preparations for the "Ode to Joy" crew have been completed, and it is expected that "Ode to Joy" will start filming next week. My goal is to finish filming this TV series before next summer vacation and submit it for review. During the summer vacation, the TV series will be released. Some subsequent resources will also be tilted towards this TV series. Does anyone have any questions about this?"

The senior executives of Huayue Entertainment present all expressed no objection.

"Ode to Joy" is the only S+ TV series produced by Huayue Entertainment this year, so it is normal for resources to be tilted.

"Since everyone has no objection, then it's settled. Then it's about the film production department. Last Friday, President Zhu sent me a movie script. I've already printed it out. It's on the folder in front of you. Take a look!
After reading the 5000 million budget requested by President Zhu, everyone can speak freely. "

Upon hearing this, Luo Ming picked up the script on the table and quickly read it through.

What Luo Ming didn't expect was that Mr. Zhu's movie script was somewhat similar to a movie he had seen in his previous life, "The Blade of the Assassin".

The protagonist is still a Jinyiwei, and there are also a lot of martial arts elements in the script, but the background of the story is a little different. After all, there is no such person as Wei Zhongxian in this life, and there is not even an emperor named Chongzhen.

"Can you make money by making action movies now?" asked a shareholder after reading the script.

"I think it's a suspenseful situation. What era is this? Action movies have been out of fashion for a long time. What's the difference between investing in action movies and throwing money into the water?"

"I think it's worth a try. Action movies have a wide audience."

"You can give it a try, but 5000 million is too much to invest."

The shareholders were talking a lot. Sister Shan waited for them to discuss for 10 minutes, cleared her throat, and everyone immediately quieted down.

"Mr. Zhu, please tell us why you chose to shoot this movie!" said Sister Shan.

"I think martial arts films and action films still have a big market in China, especially costume action films based on a historical event, which have good box office appeal. Please take a look at the PPT."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the projection screen, which showed costume action movies from recent years.

"I'm sure everyone has noticed that from 2010 to now, almost all the costume action movies produced by major companies have lost money. Only two movies had poor box office performance due to publicity issues. This proves that there is a market for costume action movies."

"But Mr. Zhu, none of these movies can be a big hit at the box office! Most of them can only break even or make a small profit," said Lao Huang.

"They are them, and we are us. As long as the company invests in me, I am confident that I can make money."

"Mr. Zhu, do you have a suitable martial arts instructor?" Luo Ming, who was in the female role, asked.

The most important thing for this type of action movie is not the director or the script, but the martial arts instructor.

If there is a suitable martial arts instructor who can design cool enough fighting moves and let the characters in the movie fight from beginning to end, the box office will not be low.

The best example is "Ip Man", and "A Man's Martial Arts" also follows this path.

When Mr. Zhu heard the question from "Lin Shuwen", he answered without hesitation: "Yes, Mr. Lin, I have invited the vice president of the Huaxia Wushu Association to be our martial arts instructor."

"Is that so? Then I think this movie is worth investing in. What do you think, Mr. Qian?"

Sister Shan was silent for a moment and then said, "I think 5000 million is a bit too much to invest in a costume action movie, but if Mr. Lin thinks it's okay, I have no objection."

The others looked at each other and said they had no objection.

Are you kidding? The president has agreed, what other opinions can they have?
After the movie was decided, Sister Shan immediately announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Afterwards, Sister Shan and Luo Ming came to Lin Shuwen's office together.

Neither of them mentioned the movie again. An investment of 5000 million was no big deal for Huayue Entertainment now.

"Wenwen, the reputation and data of "The Beginning" are getting better day by day. Penguin has already started to urge us to produce the second TV series of Misty Theater. Does Luo Ming have any ideas?" Sister Shan asked.

"Yes, he has prepared a play called "The Hidden Corner"."

""The Hidden Corner"?"

"Yes, this drama is also not too long, only 12 episodes. If we start filming now, it will take about two months to finish."

"Another skit!" Sister Shan said with some regret.

Compared to Short Circuit, a longer TV series will definitely make more money for the production company. Not to mention other things, the buyout price alone will be much higher, and the advertising costs will also be higher.

"Forget it, let's just do a short play! It's also good to use short plays to increase the fame of the Misty Theater. When can you give me the script?" Sister Shan asked.

"Sister Shan, don't worry about the script yet. You need to find three kids with good acting skills first."

"Children? This TV show also has a child's perspective?"

"To be precise, it's mainly about children." Luo Ming replied.

"The child is the lead actor?"

Luo Ming nodded.

Sister Shan felt a bit of a headache after hearing this, it’s not easy to find kids with good acting skills!

Sister Shan was silent for a few minutes and then said, "Let me try! How old do you want the child to be?"

"The oldest boy is 15 or 6 years old, the middle boy is 11 or 2 years old, and the little girl is about 8 to 10 years old!"
