After dealing with Zhou Bang, Zhou Yan returned to the company lightly. He heard Meng Shiping's voice just as he opened the door. He looked up and saw that the door of Song Yu's office was ajar.
Zhou Yan approached the door lightly, and listened to the conversation inside with bated breath. Meng Shiping was discussing with Song Yu about hyping up Han Jin.
After the first episode of "Returning to the Garden" was broadcast, Song Yu became a hot search because of his talk about love history in the show. Meng Shiping quarreled with Song Yu early that morning, and then the matter was shelved. Zhou Yanqing originally thought that This matter will be left alone, but Meng Shiping brought it up again today.
From the dialogue between the two, it can be heard that Meng Shiping originally wanted to stir up the popularity of Han Jin in the direction of the same-sex CP, but after the hot search incident, it will only make passers-by feel that Han Jin took the opportunity to backtrack and recruit him. , so Meng Shiping intends to hype in the direction of "chasing stars", and give Han Jin a personality in the entertainment industry with a small fan aiming at an idol to pursue his dream.
"What do you think?" Meng Shiping asked Song Yu.
Zhou Yanqing stood outside the door with tense cheeks, he hoped Song Yu would refuse.
Buying marketing hype is the norm in the entertainment industry. Every day on the Weibo hot search list, you sing and I appear on the stage. A piece of clothing, a makeup look, or even a sentence can be on the hot search list for a day. Money can buy popularity.
But Song Yu is not such a person. He conquers the audience with his works, rather than being on the hot search list through fake traffic, and he sacrifices himself to create popularity for Han Jin.
Song Yu inside the door took a sip of tea and said lightly, "You can arrange it."
When Meng Shiping was preparing to sign Han Jin in the previous life, he also proposed to use him to hype Han Jin. At that time, "The Road is Long" was about to be released. With this same-sex theme movie, it can be said that the time, place and people are harmonious.
Song Yu refused at the time. He was really thinking of Han Jin, and he didn't want him to gain popularity through cheating. He hoped that Han Jin would practice his acting skills in a down-to-earth manner, and survive in this circle stably, instead of a flash in the pan.
But today is different from the past, Song Yu no longer cares about how Han Jin will go in the future, and simply lets Meng Shiping to toss about.
Song Yu let go of his mouth so easily, which made Meng Shiping a little surprised, and the corners of his tense mouth could not help but curl up, and he said briskly: "Then let me tell Xiao Zhou."
Zhou Yanqing heard her name, and quickly sat back in her seat quietly, staring at the computer pretending to be serious.
After a while, Meng Shiping opened the door, and he lightly hooked his hands at Zhou Yan: "It happens that you are here, come in."
Zhou Yanqing followed into the door, and Song Yu pointed to the sofa: "Sit down, Brother Meng has something to tell you."
In fact, I had already listened to it at the door just now, Zhou Yan sat up straight lightly, and heard Meng Shiping repeat it again.
Meng Shiping's meaning is very simple, that is, let him pick two Weibo posts recently posted by Han Jin tonight, use Song Yu's account to like them, and first spark a wave of discussions in the fan circle.
Song Yu's Weibo account has only reposted one Weibo from the program group since it was registered. Fans must be watching his movements, and Han Jin himself is not low in popularity. The topic is indeed very clever.
It just so happens that the second episode of "Returning to the Garden" will be aired tomorrow night, and if you take advantage of the trend, you will be able to buy a hot search.
Zhou Yanqing looked at Song Yu habitually. He hoped that Song Yu would say no and didn't like hype. Unfortunately, Song Yu nodded calmly and said, "Let's listen to Brother Meng's arrangement."
"Okay." Zhou Yan replied softly, "Then I'll go out first."
After speaking, he didn't look at Song Yu again, but bowed his head and went out the door.
After a while, Meng Shiping also came out, but instead of leaving immediately, he knocked on Zhou Yanqing's desk.
"Brother Meng, what's the matter?" Zhou Yan raised his head lightly.
Meng Shiping gave a rare gentle smile and said, "Didn't I say I had something to tell you last week, come to my office and let's chat."
Zhou Yanqing remembered that the day Song Yue came to him last week, Meng Shiping knocked on his desk like today, saying that he had something to say, and then said it for two days before talking about it, maybe now he wanted to talk about it, he obediently followed behind.
The layout of Meng Shiping's office is the same as Song Yu's, with one inside and one outside. Gao Lei sits in the outside and works. When he sees Zhou Yanqing, he nods and smiles as a greeting, and Zhou Yanqing also nods.
It was the first time for Zhou Yanqing to enter Meng Shiping's office. He sat down and scanned around quietly. The decoration style of Meng Shiping's office was different from that of Song Yu's office. Every detail below reveals the low-key luxury of the owner.
"Sit down." Meng Shiping pointed to the leather sofa, and he didn't beat around the bush. He sat down and said bluntly, "You should know about Fang Gan, the screenwriter, right?"
Zhou Yanqing's heart skipped a beat: "I know him, he's very famous."
Fang Gan was a popular Internet writer at first, and later served as a screenwriter for a certain sitcom, thus starting his screenwriting career and writing many popular TV series and movies.
Zhou Yanqing knew him not because he was famous, but because his work was brazenly plagiarized by Fang Gan in his previous life.
After graduating from university, he applied to a screenwriting studio and became an assistant screenwriter. To put it bluntly, he was to help the boss.
In the screenwriting industry, no matter how good the school is, no work means no strength. Being an assistant is the only way for newcomers. Zhou Yanqing sees it very clearly, so he is very happy doing it.
Fang Gan is one of the contracted screenwriters of this studio, and Zhou Yanqing was assigned to Fang Gan's side shortly after joining the job.
Zhou Yanqing was very excited and happy at that time. Fang Gan is a leader in the industry. For him, this is a rare learning opportunity. After he followed Fang Qian, the other party asked him to help sort out the materials, review and even sort out the outline. Zhou Yanqing felt that he was valued and cultivated, so he worked very hard in everything he did.
Fang Gan also treated him very well. During his tenure as an assistant screenwriter, the other party asked for guidance and revision of several of his works many times.
Zhou Yanqing once thanked Fang Gan very much, but the turning point happened a year later.
At that time, he had already changed a company. One day, a colleague invited him to watch a newly released movie. The more he watched it, the more he felt that something was wrong, because the story line of the movie was almost exactly the same as a microfilm script he wrote, but the ending was different. And added some side stories.
Zhou Yan easily found information about this movie on the Internet, and the screenwriter is Fang Gan.
Zhou Yanqing had never published that script anywhere, only for Fang Gan to read, and the ending was not finished when he handed it over to Fang Gan, so it is conceivable that Fang Gan shamelessly plagiarized him. s work.
Zhou Yanqing immediately confronted Fang Gan, who not only refused to admit it, but also brazenly asked him to sue, report, and post to expose the matter. After that, Fang Gan never wanted to see him again, and threatened him not to break ground on Taisui if he wanted to stay in the circle.
Zhou Yanqing consulted a lawyer, but because he did not have strong evidence to prove that he was the first to create, he had no choice but to give up the path of prosecution. He was weak and lacked evidence, so in the end he could only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis.
This was a huge blow that Zhou Yanqing experienced after graduation. After that, he always pays more attention to everything he does, so as not to be deceived again.
Zhou Yanqing thought that he would never meet Fang Gan, the "thief" again after his rebirth, but he didn't expect to run into him again in the first life of rebirth, which really made him dumbfounded.
"It's a good thing, so I'll tell you straight." Meng Shiping lit a cigarette, "Fang Gan really likes the microfilm script of "Keep in touch" you wrote, and wants to buy it."
"Keep in touch" was written by Zhou Yanqing in order to participate in a drama incubation competition when he was in school. It was a horror theme, but then the competition died, and this script was useless. When filling out her resume online, Zhou Yanqing uploaded two works, among them "Keep in touch".
Thinking about it now, Zhou Yanqing felt chills down his spine. Meng Shiping had arranged for Han Jin to be on the show before he formally contacted him. Even the matter of using Song Yu to help Han Jin to hype had been arranged in advance. After counting the next 30 steps, Meng Shiping seemed to admire her so much at the beginning, was it because she fell in love with her own script
Zhou Yan lightly scratched his palm hard, and the pain made him calm down quickly.
Fang Gan was not as shameless as in his previous life this time, at least he didn't plagiarize directly, but Zhou Yanqing didn't intend to sell his script, and he wouldn't sell it for any money. And because of the weird rebirth experience, he has a plan to revise the script, so he won't sell it. But he can't directly reject Meng Shiping now, because it will make the other party feel that he doesn't know what to do.
"Brother Meng, I want to ask, what does Teacher Fang Gan mean by buying it..." Zhou Yanqing asked in a daze.
Meng Shiping snorted, flicked the ash into the ashtray, and replied: "It's just a buyout. It may be adapted into a movie in the future, but it has nothing to do with you. You keep it, it can only be a movie." An immature short script won't create any real value for you, but if you agree to sell it to Teacher Fang Gan... "
"Then..." Zhou Yan licked his dry lips lightly, "How much can it be sold for?"
Meng Shiping raised his eyebrows and replied, "One hundred thousand."
Zhou Yan put on a surprised expression, but he was actually a little surprised, because the price is not low for professional screenwriters in the circle, and his work is only a semi-finished product.
"Then..." Zhou Yanqing rubbed his hands "in a daze" and discussed with Meng Shiping, "Then I can think about it for two days?"
"Okay, why not? The day after tomorrow, you are going to record a program with Mr. Song. Give me an answer when you come back." Meng Shiping was very satisfied with Zhou Yanqing's attitude. He patted Zhou Yanqing's shoulder and said meaningfully, "This is a good opportunity, you have to seize it."
"Thank you Brother Meng." Zhou Yanqing suppressed his disgust and said something against his will.
