You've passed the college entrance examination, but can't you make it in the entertainment

Chapter 49 New Challenge

I don’t know what tricks Le Yan used. Within ten minutes, Ni Zhen returned to Ji Xueli’s office again.

Looking at the two people sitting side by side across the table, Ji Xueli felt his heart bleed.

"I will take good care of Leyan." Ni Zhen looked at Leyan next to him, then turned around and said seriously.

"Brother Zhen can definitely take care of me, don't worry." Le Yan looked at Ni Zhen, turned back and said to Ji Xueli with a smile.

Ji Xueli rubbed his hair twice with his hands and said without conscience:

"Respect your choice."

"Leyan told me about the short-term plan he made with you. The next step is to find variety show projects for him that can increase his popularity. At the same time, he is looking for some good exposure opportunities, right?" Ni Zhen quickly got to work. state.

"That's right, you can go look around in the new film and television program launched by the content department today." Ji Xueli nodded.

"No." Ni Zhen flatly refused.

"No? Why not?" Ji Xueli frowned.

Two thorns put together is enough!

"You can't look for them within the company." Ni Zhen became serious. "There are big problems with the company's internal projects right now. Film and television can't invite actors, and variety shows can't invite guests. If the artists are not stupid, the project will definitely come."

Ji Xueli frowned even deeper:

"Leyan is a newcomer. Only with the support of the company's resources can he grow up quickly. There is no way around it."

Superstar has both star-making and content production lines. Using its own artists for its own content is a common method used by the company, which can not only reduce project production costs but also quickly incubate artists, giving it the best of both worlds.

Ni Zhen continued to express his position:

"Leyan is not an ordinary newcomer. He can only accept projects that are sure to bring him value-added potential. Accept projects for the sake of acceptance. I don't agree with exposure for the sake of exposure."

Seeing that Ni Zhen and Ji Xueli had a disagreement, Le Yan interrupted and asked:

“What’s wrong with content projects within the company?”

Ni Zhen turned around and answered:

"The backbone of the content department are all old people who have been working in the industry for more than ten or twenty years. They have qualifications and experience, but their ideas cannot keep up with the new entertainment forms under the Internet wave. In recent years, the movies and TV series produced by the company have And variety shows, the market feedback is not good, the content does not conform to the mainstream form."

"Isn't "Celebrities' Love" very good? Liu Zhuangzhuang said that the ratings and reputation have exploded." Le Yan asked doubtfully.

"Liu Zhuangzhuang was the first person in the company to make a transformation, but apart from this variety show, the company couldn't come up with another eye-catching project." Ni Zhen commented objectively.

Although Liu Zhuangzhuang is known as a "veteran variety show director", he is relatively junior among superstars.

There are many, many seniors above him.

These people may have been leaders in the industry ten years ago, but ten years later

Superstars need a major overhaul, but this cannot be accomplished overnight.

"In the early stage, we must rely on company resources. This is the fastest way." Ji Xueli knocked on the table, his attitude unquestionable.

Ni Zhen was not to be outdone:

"Leyan is still a blank piece of paper. If the first few strokes are distorted, the whole painting will be ruined. I will go to the outside to find resources for him, good resources."

"Can an external project reuse a new person? How many odd jobs will it take to bring him out?"

"I will do my best to connect Leyan with good projects."

"What should you do if you delay him?"

"I said, I will do my best!"

Leyan, affected by the spittle, asked in a low voice:

"Can I have a word?"

The two people stopped at the same time and looked at Le Yan.

"You two are right, can't we combine them?"

"Combined?" Ji Xueli and Ni Zhen asked in unison.

"It is really important to get resource support from the company. Outside companies will only care about the project and not me."

Ji Xueli leaned back in his chair with a smile.

Leyan continued:

"But the quality of the project is equally important. I agree with what Brother Zhen said. If the first few strokes are crooked, the whole painting will be ruined. You can't make mistakes in every step you take in the future."

Ni Zhen nodded in agreement.

"You can't have both, you can only find a compromise." Le Yan turned to look at Ni Zhen, "Brother Zhen will help me find a good work according to your standards from the outside, and make sure that the first few strokes of the paper are beautiful." The problem is, there is no shortage of good scripts and good directors on the market, and I will do my best to give you opportunities." Ni Zhen said seriously.

Leyan looked at Ji Xueli again:

"I really need the company's resources, but I don't trust other people. I only trust Liu Zhuangzhuang. What project will he do next?"

According to Ji Xueli, as long as it is a project funded by a superstar, Leyan can choose it at will.

He certainly couldn't let such a good thing go to waste.

But Ni Zhen’s worry is also fatal. Ineffective exposure or negative exposure will be counterproductive.

He didn't know or be familiar with the other people in the superstar.

But Liu Zhuangzhuang is familiar with him, and Liu Zhuangzhuang listens to him, so the risk is much lower.

There is good news, Liu Zhuangzhuang’s little broken boat will never capsize!

"no!"

Ji Xueli and Ni Zhen actually united on this matter.

"Why not?" Le Yan asked.

"The project Liu Zhuangzhuang is preparing is "Mushroom House 7". This IP is no longer viable. Mr. Huang and Mr. He don't want to do it. Only Liu Zhuangzhuang insists. No one wants to be a resident guest, and even more flying guests can't be invited. You go This project is digging its own grave.”

Ni Zhen said it very directly. I wonder what Liu Zhuangzhuang would think when he heard this.

"As long as a variety show IP has passed three seasons, it will go downhill from there. The sixth season of "Mushroom House" is already at the end of its strength, and the seventh season will just continue." Ji Xueli said in a very disgusted tone.

Le Yan did not expect this to be the case and touched his chin:

"Liu Zhuangzhuang insists on doing it?"

"He said this was the last season and it had to be done."

Le Yan decided to find an opportunity to chat with Director Liu as soon as possible.

You can't just listen to one person's opinion on this matter. You should understand the whole situation before deciding whether to join "Mushroom House"

But at this moment, the mechanical sound that had been away for a long time suddenly appeared in my ears:

"Task is being released"

"Mission: Help Liu Zhuangzhuang fulfill his wish to film the final season of "Mushroom House" and become a new regular guest."

"Task reward: random."

Got it

Someone decided for him.

Leyan contacted Liu Zhuangzhuang and asked if he was in the company.

Liu Zhuangzhuang said that he was scouting for locations outside and would be back in two days.

Le Yan and Ni Zhen agreed to meet Liu Zhuangzhuang when he came back, and then they would go together.

Ni Zhen is a typical activist. After having a deep understanding of Le Yan's preferences and personal habits, he immediately started to solve the problems of dormitory and car.

Before leaving, he told Le Yan that he could wait at the company if he was not in a hurry.

Give him an hour and the car and driver will be arranged immediately.

In order to adapt to the life of a big star as soon as possible, Leyan decided to stay at Superstar Entertainment for a while.

Ni Zhen went to arrange the car, Ji Xueli had other work to do, and Le Yan visited Superstar Entertainment alone.

Superstar has its own independent office building with six floors above ground and three floors underground.

Le Yan has been here three times and has never taken a serious look here.

In order to avoid getting lost, he set the destination of this trip on the first floor, which is surrounded by glass and very empty. No matter where he gets lost, he can find the direction.

As I walked and looked around, I quickly came to the entrance on the first floor.

This is the company's wall of honor. Only the best artists and works can be displayed here. They are the first thing that employees and foreign guests see when they enter the company.

Looking at the familiar faces on the wall of honor and the familiar variety shows, TV series, and movies, Le Yan hummed in a low voice unconsciously:

"I will climb up step by step, fly forward with the blades at the highest point, and let the wind dry the tears and sweat. One day I will have my own day."
