Han Chuning knew that Chen Yanping had concerns, so she specially invited him to the computer room to watch the film. Who knew that Chen Yanping couldn't pick out the fault in the film, but she picked out the fault based on her age. When Chen Yanping wanted to say that Chu Xiaxing did not have enough works, Han Chuning nodded in recognition, but she said age.
Because Han Chuning was also young in the circle, he naturally felt like he was being bombarded by a map.
Compared with her niece, Chu Xiaxing is much more relaxed and relieved: "It's normal, she has no relationship with us for no reason, and it is really unreasonable for her to make a firm choice."
Han Chuning said disappointedly: "Is that so? The director she finally found must be average. There are only a few directors that are commonly used on the platform. I can calculate it with my fingers..."
Today's video platforms all want to cultivate production teams and reach cooperation with major film and television companies. They will produce homemade dramas or customized dramas. Everyone does not need to worry about the budget, and the platform is already rich enough. Some companies and production teams even cooperate with the platform for a long time. As long as there is a stepping stone, they will continue to make appointments.
Video platforms now have directors who work together frequently, but Han Chuning basically knows the schedule of the big directors, and he knows that they are unlikely to accept "The Great Song Xianyi".
If Chu Xiaxing can make a platform-made drama, she will be able to show her face inside the platform and have the opportunity to get in touch with more resources, and she will never be short of filming in the future.
Chu Xiaxing teased her with a smile: "How can it work? Do you think I'll let Mr. Han's book go? I have to shoot it."
Han Chuning blinked and said hesitantly, "Then I'll go talk to her again?"
Chu Xiaxing pondered for a few seconds, she sighed softly, and said earnestly: "Ningning, it's useless for you to simply talk to her, the key is whether you can talk about what she wants to hear, and if you want to be firmly chosen when you work, You have to solve the problem for the other party and pull her into a boat with us..."
Han Chuning seemed to understand but didn't understand: "Then what should I do?"
Chu Xiaxing said calmly: "You have to know what she wants before you can get what you want. If you don't know what she wants, it's useless how many times you talk."
Han Chuning said weakly, "...I still don't quite understand."
Chu Xiaxing: "Well, go ask Chen Yanping, I will teach you a lesson. You didn't need to talk to people when you were young, and now you should gradually learn the routines."
When Han Chuning received a clear instruction, she felt clear and replied, "Okay, then I'll ask you recently, and I'll let you know when I have the result."
While Chu Xiaxing continued to edit "You in Your Heart Far Away", she sent Han Chuning to inquire about Chen Yanping inside the platform. She also ushered in a hurdle that she had to face and met her sister Chu Qiuyi. After she was reborn, she joined the group for filming, and with more chores recently, she was finally able to meet her blood relatives.
Han Chuning also hadn't returned to her parents' house for a long time. She led Chu Xiaxing to the door and explained, "My dad was on a business trip out of town recently. Auntie, will you wear this outfit? Are you not afraid of being rambled on by my mother?"
Han Chuning thought about his own mother, Chu Qiuyi lived a very delicate life, and probably couldn't stand her aunt's dress.
Chu Xiaxing was wearing simple casual clothes today, she said casually: "Why do I wear such a good dress, is it a pity that the clothes are broken?"
Han Chuning: "?"
At the door of the house, Han Chuning opened the door familiarly, but unexpectedly bumped into his mother head-on. Chu Qiuyi had long heard the news that her daughter was coming back, and she subconsciously rebuked her: "You still know how to go home? I thought you were going home now..."
Han Chuning faced the scolding that covered her face, she bit her head and said, "Mom, I brought someone back..."
Han Chuning moved slightly to the side so that Chu Xiaxing behind him could enter the room. Chu Xiaxing was quite familiar with this room. She looked at her slightly haggard sister, her eyes softened, and said softly, "Qiuqiu."
Chu Qiuyi has always been a delicate and wealthy wife who pays attention to maintenance. She would scream even if there is a wrinkle on her face, but now she looks gloomy, and it is obvious that she is in a bad mood recently. She was still wearing dark clothes, not as extravagant as she used to be.
When Chu Qiuyi heard the familiar name, she suddenly felt like a thunderbolt. She looked at the strange girl in front of her in disbelief, and her eyes were a little stunned. She tentatively took two steps forward, looked at Chu Xiaxing carefully, and murmured, "It's too similar, it's too similar..."
Han Chuning couldn't recognize Chu Xiaxing right away, but Chu Qiuyi was different. She had been taken care of by her elder sister since she was born. The two sisters, who were very different in age, were too familiar with each other, and they were already engraving each other's demeanor in their bones and blood.
Chu Qiuyi touched Chu Xiaxing's face carefully, her eyes blushed instantly, and she choked a little: "Is this a dream, I dreamed about Dad and you last night, and I said that the world is no longer good to me. the people...”
She thought that there was no one in the world who treated her well, and the only two people who loved her as a little girl left.
Chu Xiaxing's eyes became warm, and he said, "Qiuqiu, I'm back."
The next second, Chu Qiuyi hugged her sister and burst into tears. She was like a child who had been wronged, and wiped all the tears on Chu Xiaxing's clothes. Chu Xiaxing lightly patted her back to appease her emotional sister.
Han Chuning looked at the touching sisters to recognize each other, and she secretly complained: "...Mom, did my dad and I treat you badly? Actually, I've been here all the time?"
Han Chuning: Am I not humble enough at home? Am I not worthy
Chu Xiaxing was also very happy to see her sister again. Both parties explained the ins and outs of the incident, and they both sighed with all kinds of mysteries in the world.
Chu Qiuyi wiped away the tears with the corner of Chu Xiaxing's clothes, and immediately suggested: "I will go to the incense tomorrow to repay my vows. This is because God took pity on me and made my sister who loves me come back..."
Just as Chu Qiuyi was talking, she touched Chu Xiaxing's clothes, and she started to be cute again, frowning and said, "What kind of ragged clothes are these? Why are you wearing it to see me, and you are not afraid of hurting my skin?"
Chu Qiuyi was just about to wash her face with Chu Xiaxing's clothes, but now she suddenly felt that the texture of the clothes was not right.
Seeing this, Han Chuning immediately turned her head to one side and complained, "It's starting again..." Her mother was really unbearable, which was why she didn't want to live at home.
Chu Xiaxing said indifferently: "Anyway, this dress will be ruined by your tears, so I will wear an old one at will."
Chu Qiuyi's eyebrows twitched, and she immediately covered her heart and said sadly, "Understood, I understand. Clothes are more important than me. You don't even want to wear new clothes when you see me..."
Chu Xiaxing explained: "No, I'm in the computer room now, and I don't need to wear new ones."
Chu Qiuyi looked surprised: "The computer room? What computer room? You started filming again?"
Han Chuning reported to her mother about her aunt's new project, and Chu Qiuyi was even more surprised. She wished to wipe away tears on the spot, and murmured: "That's why you came to me after you came back so long because you joined the group to film again. Filming is more important than me, I can't compare to your work, and my dear sister can't compare to a movie..."
When Chu Xiaxing heard the familiar tone of finesse, she sighed helplessly and discouraged: "...It's almost done, it's almost done."
Chu Xiaxing: That's not the reason why I can't find you right away. You can borrow a lot every time!
Chu Qiuyi complained: "Now you're getting impatient when you hear me talking. You just think I'm making trouble without reason. I don't mean to accuse you at all, so you just start ignoring me..."
Chu Xiaxing: "..." Where is this going?
Chu Xiaxing finally appeased the younger sister who was on top of Zuo Jin'er, and persuaded the other party to go back to the house to wash his face and clean up a little. After Chu Qiuyi left, Chu Xiaxing breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely, "Alas, Ning Ning, I'm sorry for your dad, it's me who made her look like this."
Chu Xiaxing has always been a member of the Appearance Association. Chu Qiuyi is a dozen years younger than her, and her appearance is outstanding, so she is naturally very kind to her little sister. Chu Xiaxing made a lot of money from filming. When other people's family only made 30 yuan a month, Chu Qiuyi had already used imported stationery worth 10 yuan. Even her parents scolded Chu Xiaxing for being too used to her sister, and sooner or later something would go wrong.
In fact, Chu Xiaxing didn't have strong material desires, so she was willing to spend money for her family, and she was generous to those she loved, so she didn't take it to heart.
Some people may be born rich and wealthy. Chu Qiuyi was spoiled by her sister when she was a child, and she is still spoiled by others when she is an adult. She can find someone to escort her, making many outsiders jealous. Although her sloppy personality is occasionally criticized, that little gossip doesn't affect her life.
Han Chuning sighed: "Forget it, my dad and I are used to it."
Han Chuning: Can I still choose my own mother? Isn't that just fine!
Chu Xiaxing: "Ning Ning, you really follow me, you are a down-to-earth good boy, you can't be like your mother in the future..."
She can't have two sister-like characters around her, thinking about it makes her head buzz.
Chu Xiaxing sat at her sister's house for a while, and she was muttering a lot. Either she was accused of dressing too casually, or she was disliked and rejuvenated and didn't know how to maintain it. Before leaving, she was put on countless exquisite jewelry.
Chu Qiuyi took off her jade bracelet and put it on her sister's wrist forcefully, frowning: "You are already a big director, why don't you even have any accessories. This bracelet can still be worn, you will wear it later. Let's go."
Chu Xiaxing: "No, I'm already a big director, so I still need to wear these bells and whistles..."
Han Chuning was speechless and said, "Mom, something over a few million is called 'it's okay to wear', so why didn't you support me in buying a house at that time?"
Chu Qiuyi said angrily, "I'm angry when I mention this! I didn't plan to let you move out, and you even went to your aunt to ask for it, and I didn't settle the account with you!"
"Sister, it's too much for me to say you. She's still a child, but you pay her so much money. Can't she live at home..." Chu Qiuyi glanced at Chu Xiaxing, her tone was rather resentful, as if brooding.
Han Chuning immediately sent a distress signal to her aunt. She wanted to write "Save the child" all over her face, and she was a little afraid of her mother.
Chu Xiaxing came forward as a peacemaker, and she spoke for her niece: "Hey, you were not a child before, and I also paid you so much money. You forget how your parents scold you before, why are you like them now..."
Han Chuning now has someone to support him, and immediately said confidently: "Old double standard!"
Chu Qiuyi: "..."
After Chu Xiaxing left from her younger sister's house, she could be called a completely new look. Not only was her casual clothes buttoned down by Chu Qiuyi, she was forced to wear new fashionable clothes, but she was also armed with accessories from head to toe, and she was very particular about her body.
Chu Xiaxing had a carefree personality, and he didn't stick to trifles in the crew. He learned from his younger sister a lot of food, clothing, and expenses, so naturally he was not surprised by Chu Qiuyi's attitude. After she met Chu Qiuyi, she would receive invitations for beauty and private lessons every few days. The other party obviously did not allow her to live too rough!
Chu Xiaxing: I understand Ning Ning's feelings of wanting to live alone, I can't stand it if I live with her for too long.
On the other hand, Han Chuning obediently inquired about Chen Yanping, and he really learned some inside information from an acquaintance, and relayed it to Chu Xiaxing: "It turns out that Sister Yanping used a young director before, but the data of that play was not very good. She basically didn't make any money, anyway, it has a little impact on her follow-up... "
Chen Yanping is the producer of the platform's self-made dramas. She has some status within the platform, but there are also performance appraisal indicators every year, which will refer to the cost and conversion rate of her projects. If a play has high costs but poor returns, this indicator number will be very ugly, and even affect the producer's future work.
Most directors take the money and leave after filming, and will not participate in the distribution and sales of the film, but the producer is not so easy, and if the project does not turn out well, they will bear the blame.
Chu Xiaxing: "I was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the rope. Is this because of the fear of a young director?"
Han Chuning: "She didn't tell me this before, it was other producers who told me..."
Chu Xiaxing: "Of course, it's humiliating to say it. You will doubt her ability, and maybe you will be laughed at."
Han Chuning said regretfully: "She has encountered such a thing, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to convince her." Chen Yanping would not have the courage to try a second time. What if she overturned again
Chu Xiaxing showed a thoughtful expression, she immediately thought of something, and said lazily: "No, it's time to convince her, we already know what she's afraid of, then things will be easy to handle..."
Han Chuning asked curiously, "How to convince her?"
Chu Xiaxing's face was full of sincerity: "Understand her, tolerate her, and influence her with love."
Han Chuning: "???"
In the restaurant, Chen Yanping arrived at the agreed location according to Han Chuning's news. She arrived in a hurry, but when she saw Chu Xiaxing still sitting at the table, she was stunned for a moment, then showed a flawless smile and explained, "I'm sorry, Teacher Han, Director Chu, I'm a little late. "
Chen Yanping took the seat politely, with a business-like smile on her face, she hesitated: "Mr. Han, you said you want to recommend the director to me, I thought who it was, I don't know Director Chu very well, I saw it in the engine room last time…”
Han Chuning said that he would recommend a director for "The Great Song Xianyi", so he asked Chen Yanping to meet here, but Chen Yanping did not expect that the recommended object would still be Chu Xiaxing.
Chen Yanping's tone at this time was thoughtful and polite, but she was still a little dissatisfied. After all, she had explained to Han Chuning several times, and now she felt that the other party was too entangled.
Chu Xiaxing smiled and said, "We're really familiar with each other, so let's talk directly, let's all relax?"
Chen Yanping nodded: "This is definitely the best, I understand what the two of you mean, but let me tell you the truth, what I want from the director is..."
Chu Xiaxing: "What you want from the director is to make money and make your project data beautiful, right?"
Chen Yanping did not expect Chu Xiaxing to be so direct, she was stunned when she heard the words, and politely said: "Director Chu is joking, of course it is good to make money, but there is also an artistic aspect..."
Chu Xiaxing said calmly: "You choose me as the director, and I guarantee your project rating and distribution channels. As long as the distribution revenue of "The Great Song Xianyi" does not meet the standard, I will find a channel to make up for your money, how about it?"
Chen Yanping was wearing a hypocritical smile just now, but she was stunned for a moment. She quickly put away her smile and said seriously: "...Do you know what this means? This is not a joke."
Chu Xiaxing raised his eyebrows easily: "Of course."
Chen Yanping: "If I can sign a contract with you, you may lose everything..."
Chu Xiaxing smiled and shook his head: "You may make a small profit, but I will never lose. I dare to say this with confidence, but I don't know if you dare to gamble?"
Chen Yanping fell silent when she heard the words, but her expression had already shaken. What she really valued was the project data, and another drama would not be good for her future.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Chu Xiaxing added more leisurely: "Not only that, aren't your top dramas not selling well? Although the webcast is over now, it can still be sold to some TV stations and overseas, so it can make up for some of the shortfall. , to make the data look better, and I can find someone to help.”
Chen Yanping said suspiciously: "...You think about me like that? Are you willing to take care of the upper part of the show?"
Chu Xiaxing said innocently: "Of course, I sincerely hope that you will be well, so that you can show me more in the future. But it is not for nothing, I want to trouble you to do a little thing."
Chen Yanping: "What's the matter?"
Chu Xiaxing: ""Distant Heart of You" is now a low-cost rating, I want to go up one level higher, you should have the right to vote for the internal review, and then it's good to say a few words for us... "
In order to save the cost of purchasing films, the video platform will definitely deliberately suppress the rating. The lower the rating, the lower the price, but if there is an internal relationship, there is room for manipulation.
Chen Yanping said in disbelief: "But your rating is very high now, and you are indeed made at a low cost!"
Chu Xiaxing argued with reason: "But my pictures clearly exceed a lot of medium cost. Is it wrong for me to make more money for the producer? You, the producers, blame the director for not making money from filming, and also dislike me. It's too high now, how can you still have two faces!?"
"The director asked the producer not to make money. You are not satisfied. The director made the producer make money. Do you have any opinions?"
Producer Chen Yanping was at a loss for words when confronted with the question: "..."
After a while, Chen Yanping reacted and retorted: "But I'm not your producer! You're not making money for me either!"
Chu Xiaxing said leisurely, "Then if you don't hurry up and choose me as the director, I won't be able to make money for you."
Chen Yanping: "?"
