Director Loves No One

Chapter 17

Views:

Chen Yanping was stunned by Chu Xiaxing's logic, she was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "You really know how to say..."

Chu Xiaxing: "Then how do you think about it?"

Chen Yanping's eyes flickered, and she hesitated: "Can you really help me sell the upper part?"

Chu Xiaxing: "Of course, if you don't believe it, let's talk about ratings first, and then talk about "The Great Song Dynasty Immortal Doctor"."

Chen Yanping said vaguely: "Actually, I don't have much say in the internal review of the film..."

Chu Xiaxing: "You don't come here! You are in charge of the production, and you can definitely do this."

The platform's film-buying team will definitely deliberately rate "Distant Heart of You", but Chen Yanping is the person in charge of the production, so her opinion will appear more fair and objective, and the effect may be better than directly looking for the film-buying team. How could Chu Xiaxing let Chen Yanping not release any blood, since she offered to help the other party sell movies, she would definitely earn some benefits.

Chen Yanping struggled for a long time, she finally nodded in response to the matter, and muttered: "You really are not like other directors at all, and you don't talk about art at all..."

Chu Xiaxing laughed and said, "But don't you just want to find such a director? I can talk to you about art, but you don't want to hear it either."

Chen Yanping had been planted in the hands of directors who talked about art before. Now she lets others talk about it, and she only thinks about the cost and benefits of the project. When Chu Xiaxing faces different people, her words are naturally different. If the producer wants to listen to art, she only talks about art, and if the producer wants to listen to making money, she only talks about making money.

If you don't know the psychological demands of the person you are talking to, it will be in vain to talk about it for a long time, it is all wasted effort.

After Chen Yanping left, Han Chuning was pleasantly surprised by the change in the producer's attitude, but she was inevitably a little worried: "But she hasn't decided on "The Great Song Xianyi" yet?"

Chen Yanping just promised to help with the rating of "Distant In Your Heart", but did not directly finalize that Chu Xiaxing was the director.

Chu Xiaxing said calmly: "She wants to see my ability first, and then make a decision. You can give me a call."

Chu Xiaxing instructed Han Chuning to make a phone call. She taught her niece how to introduce herself, and then contacted her old acquaintance on the TV station. The other party's attitude is quite friendly, and the tone of communication with Han Chuning is also very friendly. She heard Han Chuning's thoughts and only said that it would be good to send the film to the stage to see it another day.

After Han Chuning hung up the phone, she knew that she was halfway through helping Chen Yanping sell films, and she asked curiously, "Auntie, who is this person?"

"This is a little girl who was an intern in my crew back then. She's similar to the current assistant Jingjing. She doesn't have much enterprising spirit, and her abilities are not outstanding. Xia Xing explained, "I have some contacts in the past, you can't use them now, but such people will be willing to take care of you."

Chu Xiaxing knew very well that many people around her were asking for her, but after she left, they would not necessarily take care of Han Chuning, which was quite realistic. She asked Han Chuning to call, but she would only call the right person.

Chu Xiaxing helped Chen Yanping to recover some of the cost of the upper drama, and Chen Yanping also rated "You in the Distant Heart" as promised. After the final cut of the episode, the video platform will conduct another round of ratings, and finally determine the purchase price according to the rating, and discuss the remaining distribution channels.

"Distant Heart of You" has been successfully upgraded by one level. It achieved a medium-cost level with a low-cost production. It has already recovered the cost and made a small profit before the broadcast, and there will be other benefits after the broadcast.

Inside the company, Xia Hong was quite surprised when he heard the news. He had voted in some plays before, but the money was like a waste of money, and it was impossible to pay back the money before the broadcast. Looking at the rating results of the platform, he was completely confused and exclaimed: "No, no, no, it's really possible to make money like this, Song Wenye is a koi!"

Xia Hong: No wonder he can be a senior executive in the group. He really can make money even with blind investment. It's outrageous!

Song Wenye used to say that Chu Xiaxing would be filming, but Xia Hong still listened to it as a joke, laughing at his friend for taking advantage of him. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he is so stupid. He obviously had countless opportunities to get in touch with the crew, but in the end he watched helplessly as they terminated the contract and ran away.

Xia Hong decisively called Song Wenye, reported the good news of making money to him, and said angrily: "I regret it! I shouldn't have agreed to terminate the contract, pressing her to film in the company, if it accumulates three or four A play, the company has really done it!"

The production of film and television companies is not high. Some small companies may have produced one drama. If there are three or four dramas, it is quite large, and there is still hope of listing for many years of continuous production. Of course, if there is too much backlog of dramas in the company, there will be risks, but the drama directed by Chu Xiaxing will recover the cost before the broadcast, obviously the risk rate is not high!

Song Wenye also didn't expect to return to the original so quickly, he was a little surprised, and when he heard Xia Hong's imagination, he couldn't help but say bluntly: "Do you think she can make the company up and allow you to be the boss? "

Xia Hong: "?"

Xia Hong: "What do you mean? Do you think I'm not worthy of being a boss? I'm doing nothing, and this is also a management method!"

Song Wenye thought of Xia Hong's ticket-playing business and several loss-making film and television companies under his friend's name, and confessed: "Inaction is true, and it is not clear whether it will be cured or not."

Xia Hong: "???" Is the old yin and yang weird

Xia Hong said angrily: "Then who do you think she can allow to be her boss? Could she still allow you to be her boss? All right, as long as you can, you can be her boss if you have the skills, and you can be mean to me if you know it! If you don't rob you, you'll be her boss and look at how hard you talk!"

Xia Hong felt that he was an old wage earner. He helped Song Wenye and Chu Xiaxing get on the line, but in the end, he was rejected by both sides and was not thankful.

Song Wenye: "I want to tell Uncle Xia about your new car..."

Xia Hong: "I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry. You're in a hurry when you say it. You just don't want me to be her boss, can't you afford it?"

Song Wenye: "..."

When Song Wenye heard Xia Hong's teasing and arguing, he was too lazy to pay attention to the other party for a while, and simply hung up the phone. He was a little helpless when he remembered Chu Xiaxing at this time. He originally wanted to repay his past kindness, but he didn't expect Duan Chengyan's incident to happen again. In addition, the project with low expectations was also paid back. On the contrary, the more he owed her, the more he owed her.

Although his original intention did not actually ask her to make money, but now he does make money through the other party, and things seem to be in a state of no solution.

On the other hand, after the rating of "Distant Heart of You" is over, the finished film will have to wait for the schedule and announcement, and it will be broadcast and launched according to the arrangement of the video platform. After Chu Xiaxing left the computer room, she hadn't heard from Chen Yanping for a while, but one day she suddenly received a call from the other party.

Chen Yanping: "Are you busy today? Would you like to meet the star with me?"

Chu Xiaxing said blankly, "It's okay, but why should I meet the lead actor with you?"

Chen Yanping was quite surprised: "I'm not your producer! The director should see the starring!"

Chu Xiaxing: "?"

Chu Xiaxing said lightly: "You haven't signed the contract with me yet, and there is no process for Ming media to marry. Who will recognize you?"

Chu Xiaxing always pays attention to the rules of the industry. She will never do white jobs without a contract. Whoever lets people in the circle be deceived and cheated, it is better to be cautious when doing things.

Chen Yanping: "???"

Chen Yanping exclaimed: "This is really the end of the review and rating of "Distant Heart of You". Do you think I'm useless and my attitude is completely different?"

Chu Xiaxing: "It's good if you know it. I'll renew the fee now, and I'll change my attitude. I won't go to work if I don't have money."

Chen Yanping said both angrily and funny: "I have your contract in my bag now, just come here!"

Chu Xiaxing said decisively: "Okay, President Chen, I'll be there soon."

Chen Yanping: "..."

It didn't take long for Chu Xiaxing to meet Chen Yanping at a high-end restaurant, and the two settled on the details of the contract, but the lead actor who they were meeting with never showed up. After Chu Xiaxing finished talking about her contract, she couldn't help but wonder, "Which lead actor do you want to see?"

Chen Yanping explained: "Just after the selection of the female lead in "The Great Song Xianyi", it is Zhang Anluo, have you heard of it?"

Chu Xiaxing shook her head honestly: "No, what has she acted?" She has always remembered dramas but not people. At present, she doesn't have much impression of female stars in this cafe, and there is really a generation gap.

Chen Yanping: "She played "Minghua Clouds"."

When Chu Xiaxing heard the famous drama, she couldn't help but be dazed: "Is there an actress named Zhang Anluo in "Ming Hua Yanyun"? I remember that neither the heroine nor the supporting actress have this name."

"Minghua Yanyun" was produced by Chu Xiaxing's acquaintances. She also gave some comments to the script in the early stage and helped her friends make suggestions. This was also a classic drama of the year.

Chen Yanping: "No, she played a maid named Cuicui."

Chu Xiaxing: "..." Everyone is now redefining the word "acted"

Chu Xiaxing teased: "Then you have to say that, hundreds of Hengdian group performers have performed "Minghua Yanyun", there are many big scenes in this play..."

Chen Yanping glared at her and reminded: "You can't say this in front of her for a while!"

Chu Xiaxing asked curiously, "Why did you choose her as the heroine?"

With a subtle expression, Chen Yanping explained: "As requested above, she has acted in several major dramas as the second female lead, and now her popularity is not bad, so I want to push it up, but this kind of thing is hard to say..."

Chu Xiaxing generally understands Chen Yanping's concerns. The video platform is estimated to be cooperating with Zhang Anluo's brokerage company, and the two parties will work together on some projects. However, Zhang Anluo has never played a major heroine before. Her popularity as a supporting role does not mean that the protagonist can also Row.

The heroine in "The Great Song Xianyi" plays a very important role, and Chen Yanping is naturally worried that the car will overturn, but she can't defy the high-level ideas.

Chu Xiaxing and the others were waiting in a high-end restaurant with a quiet environment. Zhang Anluo finally arrived late when surrounded by staff. She wears sunglasses and wears luxury brands, but the matching does not look high-end. Instead, she has a dazzling temperament that highlights the logo, which is completely different from the gentle and kind maid Cuicui in the play.

Chu Xiaxing glanced at her, and she roughly understood that Zhang Anluo was not dying yet. She was very eager to be popular now, and she dressed up to be a little petite.

Zhang Anluo took a seat surrounded by the assistants. Chen Yanping looked at the many staff and had a headache, and said softly, "Anluo, let your team rest at the next table, everyone is working hard."

Chen Yanping felt that today was a private meeting, but Zhang Anluo brought so many people, it was a bit inappropriate, even bigger than a well-known actor's wrist. However, Chen Yanping has always been a good person. She is well versed in the art of speaking and will not express her dissatisfaction directly.

"Okay, then let's go first." Zhang Anluo turned her head and instructed her assistant again, she finally turned around in a hurry, took off her sunglasses, and said, "I didn't expect President Chen to meet so early, I didn't prepare so quickly for the scenes I received before, so I'm a little rushed today."

When Chu Xiaxing heard Zhang Anluo's tone, she immediately showed a very interested expression, it seems that Zhang Anluo still doesn't like this drama!

In fact, Zhang Anluo doesn't really want to come today. She is not very satisfied with "Da Song Xianyi". Although the script is well done, the producer and director are not very reliable. She is also the highest-ranking actor among the actors. This project No matter how you look at it, the risk is high.

Although Zhang Anluo has not acted as a heroine yet, but the production team she has worked with in the past is very good, so she feels that she is not the same as Chen Yanping and Chu Xiaxing. Chen Yanping and Chu Xiaxing's dress is also relatively low-key, especially Chu Xiaxing is simply unpretentious, and Zhang Anluo feels that the other party is still a small director.

Zhang Anluo: "What do you two want to drink? The red wine here is good, drink a little to nourish blood, or we can open a bottle?"

Chen Yanping: "What would you like to drink? Let me have some."

Zhang Anluo looked at Chu Xiaxing who didn't say a word, and asked again, "Where does the director usually like to drink red wine?"

Chu Xiaxing confessed: "I don't know where the wine at home is." Chu Qiuyi made all the red wine in her house, and she was not interested in these bells and whistles.

Zhang Anluo's eyes showed a clear look, she pointed out: "There are many ways in red wine, the director should drink less miscellaneous brands..."

Chen Yanping smiled and said, "I don't understand it at all, or you can choose a bottle."

Zhang Anluo: "Then I'll be more respectful than obeying my orders. The director can taste it today. This wine is different from your family's..."

How could Chu Xiaxing not understand that a naive child was playing with Ma Wei, she wanted to suppress herself before joining the group. Although the crew should listen to the director, it is also a place to watch the celebrity. Zhang Anluo obviously feels that he is a high-level celebrity, and his words are not restrained at all.

"Chu Xiaxing!"

Just as Chu Xiaxing was about to open his mouth, he suddenly heard a familiar shout from the side, and his expression was stunned. She turned her head and saw Chu Qiuyi who was smiling and Yanyan, and couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you here?"

Chu Qiuyi walked towards Chu Xiaxing, she saw two strange women on the table again, and complained, "It's really okay, I'll ask you out thousands of times, but you're quite positive to eat with others... "

When Chu Xiaxing heard the familiar sour smell, she suddenly felt a rush and explained, "Don't make trouble, I'm talking to someone about business."

Chu Xiaxing: What kind of bad luck is this to meet our ancestors here!

Chen Yanping looked at the mature and beautiful Chu Qiuyi, and said suspiciously, "This is..."

Chu Qiuyi sat down beside Chu Xiaxing as if no one else was around, and said naturally, "Oh, how are you, I'm Chu Xiaxing's sister, my name is Chu Qiuyi."

Chu Xiaxing looked at her sister in disbelief: "???" You are afraid of rebelling!

Zhang Anluo was quite stunned when she looked at the unusually beautiful Chu Qiuyi, she could see that the other party's family was extraordinary, Chu Qiuyi was pretending to be the best match all over her body, and she suddenly felt that her dress was eclipsed.

The so-called coercion means that those who understand will naturally understand, and those who do not understand are like outsiders.

Chu Xiaxing didn't care about these things, so she didn't mind either. Zhang Anluo cared about these things a lot, so she lost her momentum.

Chu Qiuyi squinted at Zhang Anluo, who looked like a nouveau riche. She immediately turned the corner of her eyes to one side, as if she could not despise the other party's unstyled dress. She lowered her head and glanced at the wine on the menu, and covered her mouth in surprise: "No, no, no, there are still people drinking this kind of wine, you leave my wine at home and don't drink it, just run out to drink swill. , how can it be like I have never seen a good wine..."

Zhang Anluo's face suddenly turned extremely bad: "..."

Chu Xiaxing listened to the familiar taste, she couldn't help rubbing her temples and stopped: "It's almost done..."

Chu Xiaxing: As soon as he opens his mouth, he pretends to be forced to commit a crime!
