Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 729 - Secret Competition
"Are there many scenes that need editing?" Chief director and producer Chi Yuan walked to the side of the post-production team leader holding a watermelon in his hand.

“It’s a mixed bag. The scenes involving Chen Yu have very few shots and not much dialogue, so they’re easy to handle.” The post-production team leader stretched lazily.

Chi Yuan secretly felt lucky as he took a bite of the watermelon. He and Xie Dikui had previously objected to Chen Yu appearing on the show, but they could not resist the business director Kong Yuzhao and business planner Wang Ying who kept reporting to their boss, emphasizing Chen Yu's role in obtaining sponsorships, advertising and other economic and business aspects.

Sun Zhonghuai and Ma Yankun were also more concerned about the money-making ability and efficiency of "Twenty Thousand Kilometers of Taohuawu", so they instructed Chi Yuan and Xie Dikui to lower the artistic threshold appropriately and share the money among everyone.

Furthermore, if Chen Yu participates in this variety show and the shots are arranged reasonably, it can also be promoted to the Korean and Japanese markets, responding to the recent call of the Ministry of Culture to let excellent film and television and variety show works go global and showcase the style of China's new era.

IQiyi has the same attitude. The funding for the production team to go overseas is simply too high, so everything is about money, and the cost must be recovered first.

As for the quality of the final variety show, Boss Gong believes in the production team.

Anyway, if the audience scolds them after the show is broadcast, Chi Yuan and Xie Dikui will have to take the blame. The investors are only responsible for paying and collecting money, and by the way, they also give orders from a macro perspective and help the production and filming team find shortcomings.

Stop talking about amateurs managing professionals!
The insiders' vision is narrow and limited to a single and superficial artistic level. They have no idea of ​​the importance of the economic level, or they like to deliberately ignore it.

Besides, it is difficult for experts to pretend to be stingy, and they would rather put the money on their ribs.

It is sheer ridiculous to expect a bunch of artists to bring about a revolution.

Chi Yuan curled his lips and put down the American adult comic "Sex Jokes", lamenting the era when coal bosses controlled the film and television industry.

The coal boss would only ask the crew to hire the actress he liked as the leading actress, and he left all other aspects to chance.

"If an amateur gives orders blindly in a mine, it is easy to cause an accident or loss of life, and coal bosses are relatively more respectful of intellectuals."

Chi Yuan looked around but didn't see any tea. Later, the team leader took out an exquisite small jar. This was his only remaining precious stock. American tea had a strange smell!

In fact, there is no shortage of tea in Chen’s Manor.

But Chi Yuan felt that it would be a waste of food if he drank those high-end drinks.

The other members of the program team wanted to taste it, but because the two chief directors did not take any action, they had no chance to get the upper hand from their leaders. Every time Di Lieba brought it out, they refused in a very pretentious manner.

Di Lieba is too lazy to be polite now.

Chen Yu rarely interacts with the program staff and guests. Except for Meng Ziyi who dares to get close to him, Guo Qilin and others are somewhat afraid of him. Meng Ziyi finds it difficult to understand this.

By the way, Meng Ziyi thinks Chen Yu has no temper at all!

When choosing a boyfriend, you should consider his personality!

Look at how happy Dilraba Dilmurat is now. Meng Ziyi discusses trivial relationship issues with her as soon as she gets off work. Dilraba Dilmurat never preaches, but chats with her from the perspective of a person who has experienced it.

To be honest, Di Lieba's reputation in the circle is much better than what the media, passers-by and even she herself thinks.

Especially after she got married, it skyrocketed again.

The reason must be related to his gradual return to family life.

Di Lieba did not hesitate to take the position of the top female artist born in the 1990s. She stood up and gave it up generously. Such boldness really impressed most of her peers in private.

No matter who Dilraba Dilmurat’s husband is, at least she wants them all!
Otherwise, with the resources exchanged by Chen Yu, Di Lieba would still be active on the small screen and continue to annoy the audience.

"That sister is definitely a smart person. I think she is much more open-minded than Yang Mi. Yang Mi is the type who is holding on to the fat piece of meat and refuses to let go. Now she has a mouth full of blood. It would have been much more comfortable if she had taken a step back and become a boss."

Chi Yuan put a little tea leaves into the cup, and then carefully poured boiling water into it.

The post-production team leader immediately put away the small can and quietly put it into his backpack. He relied on this tea to stay up late to edit the materials. He still can't get used to drinking coffee.

"Did I hear from Xiao Meng the other day that Yang Mi was coming?" Chi Yuan turned around and glanced at the artist coordinator. Chen Huanke had just torn open a bag of potato chips. He nodded and pointed at the low wooden table. He advised Chi Yuan not to put the cup there because it was made by the guest.

"Crack!" The cup fell to the ground, and two of the four legs of the low wooden table fell down.

"Ouch!" Chi Yuan wailed, and his colleagues around him hurried over.

Fortunately, the precious tea foam in the cup did not fly onto the lawn.

Executive producer Hu Yuyang handed the kettle to the assistant director and turned over the low wooden table, "Xiao Meng and Xiao Zhou made something."

There is a maker's nameplate on the bottom of the low wooden table.

"It was a rushed work. The four legs were not fixed with nails or wedges. They were just randomly glued together with double-sided tape!"

Executive producer Hu Yuyang gritted his teeth and kicked off another table leg with a little force. The production manager quietly held down the photographer's right hand and then shook his head to signal him not to record. The post-production team leader also glanced at the two of them at this moment.

"Don't complain or grumble, just be patient. Since the person who issued the task and the inspector turned a blind eye, let's just accept it."

Chi Yuan picked up the cup again, blew on the floating and swirling tea leaves, and muttered, "After all, Di Lieba is responsible for giving out the rewards."

If we want to reverse the current unhealthy trend of shoddy products and inferior products, we can only optimize Dilraba, otherwise it will be useless.

But it is not enough to exclude Dilraba Dilmurat.

"Do you want to untie this knot?"

Chi Yuan's tone was indifferent, as if he was trying to shirk responsibility, and he also seemed a little disheartened.

Xie Dikui wiped the sweat from his neck and pretended not to hear what Chi Yuan said.

Moreover, he didn't even make eye contact with Chi Yuan. To express his opinion at this time would be tantamount to taking the blame, and Xie Dikui had no intention of playing tricks.

If Dilraba Dilmurat is secretly marginalized, I am afraid there will be disputes and divisions within the production team of this reality show.

Chi Yuan wanted to be the business director and planner, so Xie Dikui naturally refused to get involved.

Although Chi Yuan, the grandson, is highly appreciated and valued by the management of Penguin Pictures, he is still unable to compete with the business department alone.

After all, Wang Ying and Kong Yuzhao have the imperial sword and can execute first and report later.

Moreover, the goal of Tencent and iQiyi is very clear, which is to make as much money as possible.

This variety show can be canceled if the ratings are not good. If the response is enthusiastic, we can consider a second season. The writing team has only signed the contract for the first season. Currently, two-thirds of the writing team members are on vacation, and only the chief screenwriter Zhou Chunan and two assistants have come to the United States.

The other chief screenwriter works remotely from home and can be contacted via email if there is anything.

Xie Dikui knew that Chi Yuan was burdened with too many shackles and constraints, but he didn't want to share them, after all, he didn't have any ambitions.

Moreover, Tencent and iQiyi prefer Chi Yuan. No matter how well he does, it will be in vain. He might as well just focus on finishing the first season.

Xie Dikui never expected to be rewarded for his meritorious service.

So he chose to keep silent about the matter of adjusting Dilraba Dilmurat's positioning.

Chi Yuan and the Business Department can fight all they want.
