The main responsibilities of a personal secretary are to arrange the leader's daily life, rest, medical care, and schedule of various activities.
But in fact, Xu Xiuwen is used to doing whatever he wants.
There is no need for a personal secretary.
The reason why he arranged such a position for Lu Xinyao was naturally to appease Lu Xinyao.
After hearing this, Lu Xinyao did not have any dissatisfaction.
"I see."
Xu Xiuwen said: "Okay, let's eat."
After breakfast, Xu Xiuwen drove the two women to the company.
After arriving at the company, Xu Xiuwen announced the latest arrangements.
Liu Xinran did not express any dissatisfaction with this.
It is worth mentioning.
The company’s second drama is not planned to be broadcast on provincial TV stations in Anhui or Jiangsu provinces.
Instead, it is planned to be broadcast on CCTV.
Hang Fei has been busy with this matter recently.
So not in the company.
The company's second director, Li Guofeng, also set up the crew.
Some of them were recruited by him, and some were his friends.
Xu Xiuwen doesn't care where people come from.
The key is that the crew has been formed.
In this way, the company has two completely independent crews.
This also means that the company can shoot two TV series at the same time.
But this is not necessarily a good thing.
As the number of employees increases, the company's costs also increase.
Most small companies simply don’t dare to employ so many people.
But Xu Xiuwen is an exception.
He doesn't dare to say anything else, but when it comes to the development of domestic TV dramas, he can be said to have a keen eye.
If it were anyone else, they simply wouldn't have the courage to do so.
After Li Guofeng put the crew together, he expressed his idea of filming to Xu Xiuwen.
He likes the novel "Nirvana in Fire" written by Xu Xiuwen very much and wants to remake it.
People in the company don’t know Li Guofeng and don’t trust his abilities.
Costume dramas are more expensive and difficult to shoot than modern dramas.
Lian Hang Fei has not filmed any costume dramas.
Li Guofeng wanted to shoot a costume drama as soon as he joined the company.
Everyone in the company thought that Li Guofeng was a dreamer.
Xu Xiuwen would definitely not agree.
But he agreed.
The upper limit of filming funds was also increased from 2 million to 5 million.
Everyone in the company thought Xu Xiuwen was crazy.
This amount of money is enough to shoot two urban dramas.
Now it is up to Li Guofeng to take the risk.
Especially the people from Hang Fei’s crew were the most unhappy.
They felt that the people in Li Guofeng's crew joined the company later and should not be allowed to shoot the costume drama first.
Some people expressed their dissatisfaction to Hang Fei.
However, Hang Fei also trusts Li Guofeng very much.
Everyone had no choice but to stop.
Xu Xiuwen attaches great importance to the company's next drama.
From the early preparations to all matters big and small during the shooting, everything needs to be planned in detail.
For this reason, the company became busy just after the Spring Festival.
Leave professional matters to professionals.
But there was one thing Xu Xiuwen really wanted to intervene in.
That's casting.
Li Guofeng's idea was to find some famous actors to take the leading roles.
But Xu Xiuwen was not very willing.
Firstly, these people have high pay, and secondly, the popularity of the drama has brought benefits to these people.
There are many factors that contribute to a TV series becoming popular, but a good story is definitely the key.
The story structure of "Nirvana in Fire" is huge and well-organized.
Through Chi Yan's reversal of the case, the stories of the emperor and his ministers, the people of the rivers and lakes, the officials, the fight for succession in the harem, and the remnants of the foreign races were all told.
All the clues are unfolded bit by bit, and the stories of several clues are advanced almost synchronously. The climax accumulates bit by bit, and is completed in one go in the end.
Let the audience enjoy the show and feel satisfied.
There’s no way a drama like this wouldn’t be popular.
Why do you say those people got a bargain
Because the selection process between actors and investors is a two-way process.
Investors choose well-known actors to take the lead and use the actors' influence to promote the TV series itself.
But it also comes with greater risks.
The reason is simple.
Well-known actors are paid more.
The more you invest, the greater the risk.
For many film and television dramas, the filming itself does not cost much money, but the actors' salaries take up the bulk of the budget.
And those famous actors will also choose excellent scripts.
Because once a bad movie is made, it will also affect the actor's future career.
Therefore, both parties bear risks.
And Xu Xiuwen knew that the drama "Nirvana in Fire" would definitely be a hit.
This means that if actors participate in the show, they don’t need to take any risks.
Instead, the company has to bear some risks.
This in itself is unfair.
Therefore, Xu Xiuwen is not very willing to invite those well-known actors.
Some people may argue that famous actors have good acting skills. If you replace it with a small unknown actor with poor acting skills, it may not be a hit even with a good script.
First of all, there are too many famous actors with poor acting skills to count.
There are also some unknown little actors or newcomers who have good acting skills.
And Xu Xiuwen just doesn't want to hire actors who have high pay but average skills.
There are many veteran actors in China who have good acting skills and are well-known, but their pay is not high.
Xu Xiuwen couldn’t welcome such an actor enough.
For example, for the leading male role, Xu Xiuwen really wanted to ask Hu Ge himself to play it.
But then again.
Brother Hu hasn't even filmed Immortals 3 yet. If he were to star in Nirvana in Fire, he might not be able to reach the level of the original version.
After some communication.
Xu Xiuwen was finally persuaded by Li Guofeng.
For the male lead, let’s first look for a suitable male actor.
Needless to say, the leading female role is Bai Yue'er.
For other roles, we will prioritize recruiting from within the company. If we can’t find suitable ones, we will hold open auditions.
