Duan Chengyan didn't have a serious job before, he was only busy with IP movies now, but Xia Hong and Chu Xiaxing were different from him. Xia Hong usually stays at Fanke Films, and there is still an actor Zhou Xuelu hanging in the company, so he always has some business. Chu Xiaxing occasionally recorded "24 Frames of Light and Shadow", and the rest of the time had to be allocated to "Wu Dao", and finally had time to incubate IP movies.
In short, although the three of them were the project's resident team, Duan Chengyan felt that he was very idle. He was going to be excited to work on the project, but found that his teammates were quite busy, which made him feel like a shave.
In the luxurious home, Duan Chengyan's mother saw her son eating without a word, and she couldn't help asking with concern, "Chengyan, how is your work recently?"
Duan Chengyan offered to do a movie project, but he insisted on it for more than two weeks, which naturally surprised his mother. If it was in the past, he would soon encounter all kinds of troubles, and then he would not be able to continue pushing forward.
Duan Chengyan was about to say something but stopped, "Just like that..."
"Have you encountered any trouble at work?" Mother Duan knew her son's character well. She never thought of throwing him into a complicated work environment, but he seemed to be very interested in the group.
Duan Chengyan pursed his lips, and he said with a bit of frustration: "It's not a problem, it's not a problem... It's not completely okay, but the things I'm responsible for seem to be worthless..."
"I feel like a screwdriver. Anyway, the replaceability is very strong. Anyone can do my job." Duan Chengyan was embarrassed to say that he is now a driver, mainly responsible for driving and chores, and the work content has no technical content.
Chu Xiaxing will never let the IP movie project go down, she will finish the difficult work, and only the easy work is left. Xia Hong was more proficient in handling simple tasks, and Duan Chengyan really only had the value of driving.
Duan's mother was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief: "You finally understand what it's like to go to work."
Duan Chengyan was puzzled.
Duan's mother: "If you don't have a work goal or ideal, most of your work is repetitive and boring, even the things I usually do. There are only a few reasons why I can persevere for a long time, some are for living, some are like, Some are at the top."
"Did you not think about the reason for your work before going to work?"
Duan Chengyan was dumbfounded. He had never thought about the reasons behind it at the time. He just wanted to snatch Song Wenye's stuff. Now that he had robbed it, he realized that it was not easy to do the project.
Seeing that her son listened to her words for the first time, Duan's mother pointed out earnestly: "This project was mentioned by Wen Ye before. If you don't understand something, you can also ask him for advice..."
Because the two were related, the project fell to Duan Chengyan, so Duan's mother felt that it was normal for him to consult experienced seniors, not to mention a family.
Duan Chengyan froze instantly: "Why should I ask him!?"
Mother Duan pondered for a few seconds, and said bitterly, "You don't want to ask Wen Ye for advice, but don't you think your work is worthless? If you don't learn from others, you will always be doing basic work."
Duan Chengyan muttered: "...I can learn from others, but I won't learn from him anyway!"
Duan's mother: "Did you learn from Xia Hong? I don't think he understands it. You might as well learn from your family."
Mother Duan didn't understand Duan Chengyan's inexplicable anger. She never thought of comparing her son with Song Wenye. The personalities of the two sides determined the difference in development paths.
Duan Chengyan: "Anyway, I don't learn from Song Wenye..."
In the Fanke Film Industry, Chu Xiaxing and Xia Hong are discussing work as usual. They are reorganizing the story of the game character Gun Saint, and then looking for a suitable screenwriter to write it into a movie script.
After the meeting of the three of them ended, Duan Chengyan glanced at Chu Xiaxing and asked in a low voice, "Is the producer doing this?"
Duan Chengyan is now in charge of driving to Wanjun Games, ordering water for everyone during the meeting, and sorting out the game information. He feels that he is a small worker, and what he does is completely meaningless.
Chu Xiaxing said calmly: "What? You want to go back to your grandfather and cry now?"
Chu Xiaxing hadn't encountered any trouble for the time being, so naturally he didn't need to rely on Duan Chengyan to get through the back door, so he couldn't think of other jobs.
Duan Chengyan: "?"
Duan Chengyan: "No, the producer should have some serious business, anyway, it's an important position!"
Chu Xiaxing: "Do you think Xia Hong is serious?"
Duan Chengyan looked at the other producer who was hanging around, he was speechless for a moment: "… "
Chu Xiaxing saw that he was quite depressed. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you really want to experience the work of a producer?"
Duan Chengyan: "Yes."
Chu Xiaxing nodded: "Okay, then you take me to a place, it's time to leave now."
Duan Chengyan was confused when he heard the words. He drove Chu Xiaxing to the designated place, but was surprised to find that this was the site of the "Wu Dao" publicity meeting. On both sides of the hall of the venue stood movie promotion boards, as well as various fan support bouquets. Many people walked around the house with long guns and short cannons, and they didn't know if they were reporters or star station sisters.
"Director Chu, take a break in the lounge first, and wait for someone to call when the main creator takes the stage." Wang Fengtian informed Chu Xiaxing of the process. He stared at the unfamiliar Duan Chengyan for a moment, "This is..."
Chu Xiaxing: "This is a small segment, it is a producer."
Wang Toyota nodded clearly: "Oh, hello, Xiao Duan."
Duan Chengyan just wanted to say that Chu Xiaxing's introduction was too hasty, especially the word "it is" sounds very strange. However, Wang Toyota had already stretched out his hand first, and Duan Chengyan could only reach out and shake it back. The two sides greeted each other awkwardly and hastily.
The starring role of the movie "No Dao" is Hou Shenyue. Today's publicity meeting received a lot of media, and the scene looked quite lively, which also made Wang Toyota very busy.
After Wang Toyota left, Duan Chengyan had time to complain, and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you a bit too much? We are talking about driving during the project, not driving for you around the clock!"
The movie "Wu Dao" had nothing to do with Duan Chengyan, and was entirely Chu Xiaxing's work. Even if he didn't accuse the other party of spanning two plays, she could still instruct herself to send her to the promotion meeting of other movies.
Chu Xiaxing: "Do you know who that person was just now?"
Duan Chengyan was stunned for a moment. He didn't hear Wang Toyota's self-introduction, and because the other party was busy, he didn't know his identity, and he said frankly, "I don't know."
Chu Xiaxing said indifferently: "That's Wang Fengtian, who is a leader in the screenwriting industry. If it were another producer, how could he pull each other to chat, but he wouldn't be as stupid as you."
The work of a producer is very complicated. They have to integrate all the resources, including actors, directors, screenwriters, etc., to select the best items to produce the project. Many people can't become producers in their lifetime because they don't have the network resources at all, and they can't even collect and integrate all kinds of relationships.
Even today is the film "Wu Dao" promotion meeting, many people in the industry will come here because of it. They may have nothing to do with the film at all, but they all want to brush their faces in front of Wang Toyota and others, or expand their contacts in the circle here.
"Mr. Wang doesn't usually ask children's names. If you didn't come in with me, he wouldn't be able to talk to you." Chu Xiaxing shrugged lazily, "But you probably didn't pass the job just now. Seriously. You can't even take the opportunity, so you still want to experience the work of a producer?"
Wang Toyota has seen too many producers. Just like when the director of "Wu Dao" was selected, the candidates were able to fill the conference room. If it wasn't for Chu Xiaxing and Wang Toyota getting to know each other well, Duan Chengyan wouldn't really be able to talk to each other just because he was a producer.
Duan Chengyan didn't expect that she brought him to gain contacts, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Duan Chengyan thought that she deliberately ordered her to drive, but who would have thought that the production work had officially started long ago
"Isn't this common sense as a producer? I just didn't expect that you don't even have common sense." Chu Xia said calmly, "I have brought you in anyway, and you now know the job content. The venue is full of insiders. , the rest is up to you."
"Wan Jun's ip movie also needs all kinds of publicity and distribution resources. The contacts Mr. Wang knows should not be bad. As for how to transform it into ours, it depends on President Duan's personality."
Duan Chengyan said in shock: "You want me to lick my face and add their contact information!?"
Duan Chengyan almost suffocated just thinking about it, and now he understands what he missed. In the face of Wang Toyota, at least Chu Xiaxing made an introduction, and if he was another stranger, he would just bite the bullet and chat awkwardly
Chu Xiaxing: "You can add it without licking your face."
Duan Chengyan: "Why don't you lick your face and add it?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Just don't have that face."
Duan Chengyan: "!!?"
When Chu Xiaxing heard the staff's prompt, she quickly stood up: "Okay, Mr. Duan, let's go, I should also be on stage..."
Duan Chengyan saw that she was going to leave, and he suddenly panicked: "Wait, can you introduce me?"
Chu Xiaxing didn't have time to talk to him. She had followed the creators to the stage for interviews and faced various questions from reporters. She has recently gained a lot of popularity by relying on "24 Frames of Time", especially the police and bandit film cooperating with Hou Shenyue has received a good response, which naturally makes "Worthy" also highly anticipated.
Duan Chengyan was fidgeting alone in the venue. He found that the other producers were really able to chat with ease, and he was even more embarrassed for a while. He was originally held by his friends, and everyone around him knew him. The first time he was forced to take the initiative to attack, he had no clue at all.
He had neither Chu Xiaxing's reputation as a director nor Xia Hong's Fanke Films, so he really didn't know how to introduce himself.
On the stage, after Chu Xiaxing answered the reporters' questions, he quietly listened to Wang Toyota's urging for the box office. She feels that the quality of the film "Wu Dao" is good, but the box office of the film has always been a metaphysical theory, and it is also closely related to publicity and distribution. The promotion and marketing of many good films could not keep up. After the release, there was a regrettable decline, and the fragrance of wine was also afraid of deep alleys.
It is precisely because the promotion of the film is very important that well-known directors such as Fan Ke have to rely on variety shows for exposure, in order to guide the public's attention to the new film.
Wang Toyota also mentioned this at the scene, and he smiled helplessly: "The current movie is really not easy to do, not only the production, but also the issue of publicity. Our whole team can say that we have done our best to see that Director Chu not only wants to Regardless of the filming and the promotion of "Wu Dao" on the show, I want to pay her twice as much..."
Wang Toyota encouraged Chu Xiaxing to record "24 Frames of Light and Shadow", but she did not expect her to achieve good results, far exceeding expectations.
Chu Xiaxing picked it up easily: "It's okay, Mr. Wang, my account is still the same, and I will be able to transfer money later."
Wang Toyota: "It's not that I can't pay, that's why I said I want to pay..."
Chu Xiaxing: "...So I'll just think about it."
Wang Toyota: "Be polite, be polite."
When everyone listened to the interview between the two of them, they burst into laughter.
Wang Fengtian sighed: "Oh, if I pay for it, I will definitely pay, and then I can also promote it like other movies, and make a grand night scene advertisement, but the funds are really limited... But we put every penny into it. Use it on the cutting edge, and try to make the picture the best, and I hope you all like this movie!"
Chu Xiaxing nodded when he heard the words, Wang Toyota was indeed generous in production, and the cost of the announcement part was naturally reduced.
Duan Chengyan was originally frowning and tangled in the audience, but he was stunned when he heard Wang Toyota's words, and then thought about Chu Xiaxing's theory of value exchange, and seemed to finally have a look. He is worthless to others now, and it is really embarrassing to talk to others, maybe he has to find a breakthrough.
Duan Chengyan thought about it for a long time, he simply took out his mobile phone and called his family: "Mom, I have something to trouble you..."
After the publicity meeting, Chu Xiaxing, Wang Toyota and others had just returned to the lounge when someone rushed to report the news: "Mr. Wang, did you buy the big screen publicity privately? Why didn't you tell us!"
This is the publicity team of "Wu Dao". They are responsible for online and offline publicity, placing billboards in public places such as movie theaters and subways, and further promoting publicity in private buildings, placing striking slogans on the outside screens of towering buildings. Of course it's quite expensive and needs to be booked in advance.
Wang Fengtian thought about the price and schedule of the package, but he did not use this kind of publicity. Whoever let a few minutes of publicity burn a lot of money.
Wang Toyota said in surprise: "No? How could I buy it privately, how can I have so much money!"
"But the Xinchuang Building is now promoting us. The building is ''No Dao' Movie Big Sale', and many people have already filmed it..."
Wang Toyota just said that there was no wallet building to promote, and when he turned around, there was a new building to support "Wu Dao". It was a coincidence that was confusing. No wonder the publicity staff suspected that Mr. Wang was paying for it out of his own pocket.
What's even more amazing is that Xinchuang Building has never taken over advertising business before, and even the publicity team does not know who contacted it.
Everyone was a little stunned, not knowing who Lei Feng was.
Wang Toyota looked at the photos of the building, and he was now full of confusion and muttered: "This slogan is also simple and rude..."
Wang Toyota: The popularity in my circle is good, but who would be so rich and powerful
In the corner, Duan Chengyan has been wandering outside. At this time, he said, "Mr. Wang, if you feel bad, you can change it now."
Wang Toyota looked at Duan Chengyan, who was familiar, and looked at Chu Xiaxing in surprise: "Director Chu, this is..."
Chu Xiaxing suddenly realized: "Did you do it?"
Chu Xiaxing: I should have guessed the money-burning ability in this vein.
The propaganda staff did not expect the main owner to be in the house. They were quite surprised for a while: "The Xinchuang Building has never sold advertisements before, right? We have never cooperated with them, and we don't know the quotation. How much is a minute?"
The Xuanfa team all have their own cooperative relationships. They really don’t know that Xinchuang Building also has an advertising business, so they are naturally curious to ask.
"No money."
"what?"
"I asked my mother to do it, so I didn't spend any money."
"???"
Duan Chengyan only remembered that Xinchuang Building could do this. He still remembered his purpose, and said bravely, "Mr. Wang, can I add a WeChat to you?"
Duan Chengyan: It shouldn't be embarrassing to add WeChat like this, right
Wang Toyota was stunned for a moment, and he showed a look of crying and laughing, and hurriedly said: "Jiajiajia!"
No one thought that Duan Chengyan offered to add contact information, and Wang Toyota asked the other party to spend money in vain, and naturally there was no reason to refuse.
People in the house suddenly started adding WeChat, and even various publicity personnel exchanged contact information with Duan Chengyan, presumably wanting him to help introduce the advertising business of Xinchuang Building.
Duan Chengyan looked at the various numbers with satisfaction. He felt that today's producer's work was not too bad, and it was also rewarding.
Before leaving, Wang Fengtian also chatted with Chu Xiaxing privately, and smiled bitterly: "Director Chu, this is a good thing, and we have a good relationship. If the child wants to add me, you can push it directly. He even made him spend money..."
If Chu Xiaxing pushed people directly, Wang Toyota would definitely not refuse it on purpose, it seemed that the relationship between the two parties was not close enough. Wang Toyota just thought that Duan Chengyan wanted to add him, but Chu Xiaxing was too embarrassed to sell his favor, so he went around in such a big circle.
Of course, what Wang Toyota did not expect was that Chu Xiaxing and Duan Chengyan were not close.
Chu Xiaxing: "It's okay, he has money and he makes things, and he loves to make things. Besides, he doesn't spend much money. Don't underestimate the ability of the banknote family."
Wang Toyota: "?"
Duan Chengyan did succeed in brushing his face today. He successfully obtained the contact information of the "Wu Dao" publicity and distribution team, and also knew a lot of related people. Others don't know Duan Chengyan's net worth, just think that he belongs to a related producer, and he can swipe his face to promote for free, which is naturally admirable.
After the crowd dispersed, Duan Chengyan became a little weak when he saw Chu Xiaxing: "What? Do you think that I can't win, and it's embarrassing to trouble the family?"
Duan Chengyan is also helpless. He knows that it is not independent enough to exchange resources at home, but in the face of so many big coffees alone, he can't do it alone, so he can only resort to this. Everyone relies on work ability to mix resources, and now he can only temporarily rely on family ability to mix resources, which makes him seem inferior.
Surprisingly, Chu Xiaxing did not ridicule his actions, but instead praised frankly: "No, I think you have finally found the right direction!"
Chu Xiaxing always felt that Duan Chengyan was not right, but now she finally found that the eldest young master understood the sufferings of the world, and began to learn some social and animal lifestyles, so naturally she would not criticize.
Duan Chengyan was taken aback: "Really?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Of course, I'll act like a spoiled child with my mother this time, and I can find my grandfather next time! I'm optimistic about you!"
Chu Xiaxing: Teacher Wang's dramas are so energetic, it's not like Wang's dramas can't be bombed by their own dramas!
Duan Chengyan: "..."
