Xu Qiao was amazed at what Jiang Wen did.
Thinking back to the time when he waved his hand a few days ago, "Xu Qiao, don't worry about anything, don't say anything, if anyone scolds you, hold back and bear it, I will make sure you are cleared of all charges."
The result is more than just whitewashing. The show has greatly benefited from this trend, with the number of on-demand reservations far ahead of other online dramas in the same period.
Xu Qiao felt that Jiang Wen's skill tree was split, half of which was devoted to publicity. Even if he didn't become a director and became a public relations planner instead, he would surely be able to flourish.
When it was dark, Li Feifei came to Xu Qiao's apartment and said excitedly that this was her brother's first drama and they must watch the premiere together.
In the past few days, several economic companies have contacted Xu Qiao. Li Feifei also compiled a list and brought it over, listing the more reliable economic companies in the circle and comparing in detail each company's star-making methods and styles of doing things.
Li Feifei sat on the carpet in front of the sofa and spread the business plans sent by those companies on the coffee table: "Brother, these companies are all very reliable, and the treatment is also sincere."
Guan Han was torn apart, and Xu Qiao, who served as her stand-in, also became very popular in the past few days. In addition, his reputation was on the rise, so many economic companies were trying hard to sign him.
Xu Qiao picked up several business plans and read them one by one. All the companies signed contracts for eight years at least. Although the packaging plan sent over was feasible, his own voice and freedom were not high.
"Let's wait and see." It's not necessary to sign a contract with an agency. If there are too many restrictions, then I can just not sign. Although the resources are worse and the PR and publicity work is troublesome, at least I have freedom.
Xu Qiao leaned over to put the plan back, leaned back on the sofa, picked up the remote control, turned on the set-top box, entered the on-demand channel and found "Chatting Generals" which had not yet been broadcast.
It hasn’t been updated yet, and when you click on it, there are only a few promotional videos.
Afraid that Li Feifei would feel bored, Xu Qiao found a variety show, and when he clicked on it, an advertisement for the sports drink endorsed by Xu Siyi appeared.
“…live more, feel free!”
When Li Feifei heard his idol's passionate voice reciting the advertising slogan, he looked at him a few more times before reluctantly turning his gaze to Xu Qiao.
Xu Qiao was not interested in the show. He was half lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone. There was no extra expression on his face. Occasionally, he glanced over with the corners of his eyes raised, and there was an unconcealable heart-pounding look.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Feifei said, "Brother, SSE contacted me."
Xu Qiao paused while swiping the screen, licked his slightly dry lips, and looked at Li Feifei: "What did you say?"
"Ask if you want to go back."
Xu Qiao couldn't help but laugh.
Guan Han is SSE's popular young actress after all, and she suffered a great loss at his hands. Now that SSE contacted her, it seemed that he had not considered her feelings at all.
Seeing Li Feifei's conflicted expression, Xu Qiao put his phone on the coffee table, picked up the cup of water beside him, took a sip, and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Feifei sighed and rocked her feet against the sofa base. "A good horse will never turn back. Besides, it's not fun to be in the same company with someone like Li Chengxuan. Who knows, the Internet trolls who scolded you this time might have been hired by him."
Fei-Fei Li accidentally revealed the truth.
"But..." Li Feifei scratched his head, "Brother, you can't set up your own studio now. It's better to sign a contract with one. Development will be smoother."
As they were talking, Xu Qiao's cell phone, which was placed on the coffee table, vibrated, and they both looked at the lit screen at the same time.
A text message is displayed:
Xu Siyi, have you found any company you're interested in? My agent wants to sign you. Do you have time to meet with him
Li Feifei's eyes widened. This was really what he said. His face flushed and he said excitedly, "Brother, come back quickly! Xu Siyi's agent, Mo Chenghong wants to sign you!!"
No one is familiar with Xu Qiao's name, but he was able to bring out a popular star like Xu Siyi, and he has no black spots so far, so there is no need to say much about his abilities.
Xu Qiao replied: OK.
As soon as the text message was sent, the doorbell rang.
Li Feifei ran to open the door and was stunned when she saw two people standing outside: "Xu, Xu..."
Xu Qiao looked up and saw the person outside the door was tall and long-legged. He was wearing a baseball cap and a mask. His eyes were sharp and his gaze seemed even deeper under his protruding brow bones.
It’s Xu Siyi.
There was a man following behind him, who looked to be in his early forties, with deep wrinkles between his eyebrows. When Xu Qiao saw him looking over, he raised his glasses with his fingers, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then quickly retracted it. Xu Qiao guessed that he might have smiled.
"… "
Did it come so quickly
Xu Siyi took out the slippers he wore last time from the shoe cabinet and sat down next to Xu Qiao. He took off his baseball cap and mask and put them on the table. Xu Siyi brushed his hair and said, "I just happened to pass by and saw that the lights in your house were on. Brother Cheng Hong wanted to talk to you."
As he spoke, Mo Chenghong came over. He extended his hand to Xu Qiao and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Mo Chenghong, Si Yi's agent."
Xu Qiao greeted him politely, washed two cups and made tea.
Xu Siyi twitched his nose: "I don't drink tea."
Xu Qiao paused, opened the refrigerator and took out the drink endorsed by Xu Siyi: "Refreshing and free?"
Xu Siyi: “…That’s fine.”
Mo Chenghong took out a stack of documents from his briefcase: "Mr. Xu, this is the business plan I made for you. It contains the contract terms and packaging plan."
The proposal was already ready, and it was obvious that the idea of signing him had been in mind before.
Xu Qiao took the plan and opened it to take a look. Mo Chenghong worked for Xu Siyi and the contract belonged to Xu Siyi's studio.
The terms were very relaxed and the treatment was generous. In short, it didn't seem like it was for a little star like him who hadn't yet built up popularity.
Xu Qiao closed the plan, looked at Xu Siyi, and asked bluntly: "Are you here to do charity?"
Xu Siyi smiled sexy and said, "Brother Cheng Hong is optimistic about you."
Xu Qiao shifted his gaze to Mo Chenghong and saw him nod in confirmation.
Li Feifei sat on the side, her breathing became rapid, and her eyes were spasmodic as she kept winking at Xu Qiao.
Mo Chenghong is a well-known gold medal agent with a sharp eye, ability and connections. The artists he has brought up are steady and solid. I don't know how many people want to sign him.
Xu Qiao was not in a hurry to make a decision: "I need to take another look at the contract and give you an answer in a few days."
He needs to consult a lawyer about the terms of the contract and make sure there are no problems before making a decision.
Mo Chenghong had no objection and nodded calmly.
Xu Siyi looked at the time, it was almost eight o'clock, he picked up the TV remote control, found "Liao Jiang" and clicked on it.
There are 30 episodes in total in "Liao Jiang". Members will get 6 episodes in the first week, while non-members will get 3 episodes in the first week. After that, the series will be updated every Monday and Thursday, with 2 episodes updated per day. In other words, all episodes can be updated in 7 weeks.
At eight o'clock, the show officially started and the four of them sat on the sofa to watch.
Xu Qiao glanced at Xu Siyi and Mo Chenghong. The two were staring at the TV screen and showed no intention of leaving.
He looked at Li Feifei next to him again, his face full of excitement. It was obvious that he would not leave unless his idol Xu Siyi left.
"It's getting late." Xu Qiao said tactfully.
Xu Siyi nodded, still staring at the screen.
… What does nodding mean
After the opening theme, Si Cheng, dressed in ancient costume, appeared on the screen. He shuttled among the crowd with a steady look in his eyes, looking around as if he was looking for someone.
Xu Siyi watched with interest for a while and commented: "This brother's acting is not bad."
Xu Qiao always felt that his calling him "brother" contained a hint of inexplicable ridicule.
Watching a play live is one feeling, and seeing it presented through the camera is another feeling. Xu Qiao found it interesting to watch familiar faces perform another life, and gradually immersed himself in it.
The first and second episodes were aired very quickly. Although the crew of "Liao Jiang" was a bit poor, the costumes and props were always inadvertently eye-catching, and the scene props seemed a bit cheap, but the story was generally well adapted without any major flaws, and it also played with a lot of innovative gags.
It won’t be criticized too harshly.
Xu Siyi yawned: "When will your performance begin?"
"Episode 3." Xu Qiao said, then glanced at him again, "It's getting late."
Xu Siyi hummed, and after a while he said, "Director Hu said that he saw your scene from Director Jiang and said that you acted very well."
Hu Zhenghua did not say the second half of his evaluation of Xu Siyi: she is unrestrained but not dissolute, and dissolute but not lewd.
In the third episode, when Jin'er appeared in black clothes and mask, Xu Siyi changed his posture and looked at the screen more seriously.
The fighting scenes are very textured, and Jiang Wen's camera particularly favors Xu Qiao, and even without showing his face, he can still create a bewitching feeling.
The Xu Qiao in the camera and the Xu Qiao beside him gave people completely different feelings. He couldn't help but look to the side, and just as he turned his head, his eyes happened to collide with Xu Qiao's lazy glance.
Xu Siyi's expression remained unchanged, his throat rolled slightly, and he glanced back to continue watching TV. At this time, in the layers of red gauze, Jin'er changed her black clothes into red ones.
In the end, Si Cheng put a piece of clothing on Jin'er and she slowly raised her head.
Shengyan's face was completely exposed.
Xu Siyi thought that what Hu Zhenghua said was indeed right.
In the first six episodes, Jin'er didn't have many scenes, but she still occupied a hot search position that day. Although it was not in the front row, the popularity was still quite high.
Xu Qiao thought it was probably a hot search bought by the crew for publicity, but after clicking in and looking at the comment data, it seemed to be true.
Sisters, take a look at the amount of comments. I am so impressed by Xu Qiao’s looks!
Attached below are two pictures. One shows a few scattered comments floating by, and the other shows the scene when Jin'er appears. The comments are filled with layer upon layer, and the screen is densely packed.
I ordered it with a set-top box. It was a mistake. There were no comments and it was almost over. God knows how much I wanted someone to scream like a groundhog with me when Jin'er appeared.
The last scene in the third episode is so touching. As a woman, I want to fuck him!
Girls shouldn't say such things. Xu Qiao moved his finger downwards.
When brother Si Cheng and Xu Qiao stand together, it really makes me blush. Ah, brother, can you please take a closer look at Jin'er
I haven't read the book, so I thought Chun Yuyuan and Jin'er were going to love and hate each other and have a happy ending. But my roommate, who is a book fan, spoiled it for me. Why did he have to die
Xu Qiao closed his Weibo account and was about to make an appointment with a lawyer to consult about the contract when he suddenly received an email notification.
The sender is Dianxing, the game company to which I submitted my last article.
Mr. Xu, your painting project team is very interested, but we would like to discuss some specific issues with you in person. I wonder if you have time recently? by Gao Ming
