Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself? - Chapter 509 Happy Director Zheng

It's approaching twelve noon.

Our manager Lin wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes feebly. She also experienced what it meant to cry with joy.

Although Lin Yue didn't say anything.

But the blush on her face and the wiped away tears fully showed how satisfied she was with the reward.

Soon she became angry again.

Seeing the bra being pulled out of shape, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and threw it at Li Luo. When the bra was hanging on his shoulders and shaking, our sister couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The movement made the huge thunder tremble, and Li Luo was simply amazed by the sight.

She rolled her eyes at him.

But she looked at the lotus peaks on her shirt in distress, and could only quickly put on her suit jacket: "Since we have decided to do this, I will hand over the work on hand and leave."

There may be hesitation in big matters, but when doing specific matters.

She is extremely decisive.

In this regard, Xinghuo Film and Television fully illustrates what it means that a small ship is easier to maneuver.

They are using their own money to do things.

As long as Li Luo makes up his mind, he can push things forward immediately. Unlike other large companies, when it comes to heavy asset investments of hundreds of millions of yuan, it may take a month of meetings just to establish the project.

Lin Yue had no objection to the establishment of the project of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", as it was originally the company's largest project to be operated in the future.

That kind of ancient drama.

Although it may sound a bit puzzling to outsiders, why is it that when the director, funding, and script are basically in place, it is only now time to set up a vague film and television shooting base?

But in fact.

This is perfectly normal.

The film and television company first confirms the behind-the-scenes production team.

The relevant arrangements must be made according to the scenes involved in the script. The layout of pavilions, palaces, gardens, and indoor and outdoor areas must be carefully considered, and it is best to base it on the background of the shooting era.

Of course, it cannot be exactly the same as in ancient times, and modern aesthetics must be taken into account.

The higher the level of the art group.

The more exquisite the scene is.

It would take several months just to purchase these things.

So even if the film and television city is just an idea at present, and even the location where it will be built has not been confirmed, there is actually more than enough time.

The same was true when filming The Return of the Condor Heroes.

When the project is established.

Coming to the back did not delay the crew from entering for filming.

As long as the money is in place and local departments cooperate, a city can be built out of thin air in a few months.

Li Luo didn't say anything about this.

He himself doesn't like to procrastinate when doing things.

Put on your clothes quickly.

Li Luo smiled, lit up a cigar, and exhaled the smoke with great comfort.

"Dong dong."

It didn't take a while.

When Li Luo opened the door, he was greeted by Zhao Xuejing's excited face and the good news that the ratings for this episode of Happy Camp had exceeded 4, which meant that at least 40 million people were watching last night's show at the same time.

As soon as the news came out, excited cheers echoed everywhere in the Red Mansion.

Although the copyright transaction has been settled.

But who doesn’t want their company’s new play to attract much attention?

And it is a very important part.

If only this were done!

If Huang Shengyi signs a few big commercial endorsements, the agency commission will be calculated in tens of millions.

“Start the publicity program.”

"Various promotional materials were released, including behind-the-scenes footage, stills, and promotional videos."

"Linked with Mango TV."

"We can't let go of the online propaganda offensive either. Send me quotes like 'Our relationship has always been shallow, but our love is deep. Since the harp and the zither are in sync, why is the sheng and the flute silent?' and 'I'd rather die alone than have to settle for a love that's just not right.'"

"No need to explain anything, just let netizens feel confused."

“Wash it over and over again.”

"Wash them until they are curious, and then spread the word everywhere. Stir up the popularity of this drama!"

"clear."

Lin Yue nodded heavily with excitement.

With this favorable trend, publicity can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

As the company's first TV series.

Only success is allowed.

Failure is not an option!

When Zheng Xiaolong, Wang Xiaoping and Zhang Guoli walked into the gate of Xinghuo Film and Television, they were greeted by a bustling scene with telephones ringing one after another and keyboards typing like raindrops.

It's not just a cup of Starbucks in everyone's hand.

There are also many cakes and desserts on the table in the aisle for people to take at will.

Zhang Guoli picked up a cup of coffee and took a big bite of the fragrant and tender Portuguese tart with great relish, his eyes almost squinting with happiness.

Glancing at him, Li Luo smiled and shook Zheng Xiaolong's hand: "Welcome Director Zheng, and also warmly welcome screenwriter Wang. These are all the things we just bought. Please take a look and see if there is anything you like to eat."

This unequal treatment made Zhang Guoli's eyes widen.

But when he thought of the huge profit of "Fall in Love with You", he smiled and chewed with big mouthfuls.

"Mr. Li."

"How about we look at the book first?"

“Slow work brings out the best in the work.”

Li Luo smiled and let go of his hand, and said jokingly with a relaxed expression: "Sister-in-law is so attentive, I can't be happier, just don't ask me to increase the screenwriting fee!"

Amidst the laughter, Lin Yue also stepped forward and shook hands.

Everyone went upstairs, greeting each other.

What a coincidence! Today is also the day for accepting the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

It was originally expected that Wang Xiaoping would take two or three months to polish the script, but it has taken more than five months from the Chinese New Year to now, plus the time the other party took to think about the project before getting involved.

It has taken seven or eight months.

Inside the office.

Zhao Xuejing has already prepared the tea.

The main work this afternoon is for investors, directors and screenwriters to study the script together.

In other words.

After chatting for a while, Wang Xiaoping handed his script to Li Luo with trepidation.

The reason why I am nervous.

It’s not that I don’t have confidence in myself.

It’s all because Li Luo is too strong. Not only is he the male lead, he is also the producer of the show, and he holds an absolute share of the producer share.

The other party is a director in the billion-dollar club and is also good at screenwriting.

All these identities added together.

If Li Luo wanted to forcibly interfere with the content of the script, drastically change the script lines or the corresponding character settings, it would be difficult for him to resist.

But this is the result of several months of hard work by myself and Lao Zheng.

If Li Luo wants to make random changes later, I will argue with him no matter what.

Think of this.

Wang Xiaoping drank the teacup in his hand.

After weighing the incredibly thick script in his hand, Li Luo raised his eyebrows and turned the cover. Then he looked at Zheng Xiaolong in astonishment: "Ninety episodes, isn't this volume a bit too large?"

Over forty episodes.

It's already a large-scale TV series.

These ninety episodes on hand are a large-scale TV series. If I remember correctly, the original work has more than seventy episodes.

“It’s been streamlined.”

"Besides, are there any producers who would complain that the length is too long?"

A casual joke made everyone in the office laugh knowingly.

With the same shooting budget.

The producers certainly don't mind having more episodes of content in the finished film.

But it's all hard cash.

"Tentative."

Zheng Xiaolong exhaled smoke and said seriously, "Let's shoot according to this length first. If it seems too long, we can refine some of the content during editing."

“It’s just like collecting more materials!”

Li Luo nodded and continued to look through the contents of the script.

First of all, the dynasty in which the story takes place.

Everyone's ideas on this aspect are highly unified, and they are directly placed in the context of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Just take the cultural features.

There is no need to consider the sense of immersion at all. If the film is not well-filmed, it is nonsense to attribute it to any dynasty. What really makes people talk about it is the story.

As for the story.

Wang Xiaoping made a number of drastic changes.

For example, in the original novel, Zhen Huan has a brother who is also the object of An Lingrong's affection. Such a character who has little to do with the main plot was directly cut off.

The plot becomes more compact.

Another thing is the character's personality. Zhen Huan is not so vicious and cruel, and there are more human struggles.

The script keeps flipping.

He also discussed the adaptation ideas with Wang Xiaoping.

The original work is really well written.

Now, after Wang Xiaoping's continuous cutting and polishing, it shines even brighter.

"good."

Nearly two hours later, Li Luo closed the script in his hand and said, "Thank you, Director Zheng and my sister-in-law, for your hard work. Let's shoot according to this version!"

“Respect the script.”

After tapping the notebook, Li Luo looked at her with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't you think that what I said is just empty talk?"

"no no."

Wang Xiaoping waved his hands repeatedly with a slightly red face.

Hear Li Luo’s statement.

Zheng Xiaolong and Zhang Guoli both smiled.

If there is no problem with the script, it means the project can move forward.

"Director Zheng."

"Have."

After stubbing out his cigarette, Zheng Xiaolong picked up his teacup and said, "I have specially found an expert who is very familiar with the cultural landscape of the Han, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties."

"Let's have a meeting another day to confirm the style."

"Where are you going to set it up?"

Li Luo shook his head and raised his chin towards Lin Yue: "Sister Yue will go out to find a suitable place to build a filming base in the next two days, but the plan can be made first, and we will construct it according to the plan when the time comes."

"Pfft~"

The tea that Zheng Xiaolong had just put in his mouth sprayed out directly.

The water mist fluttered down under the sunlight and almost splashed all over his wife.

Our famous director wiped the corner of his mouth vigorously, stared at Li Luo with wide eyes: "You still don't know what it means? What does it mean to build a filming base? What does it mean to find a place?"

He actually knew what it meant, but he still couldn't help but ask Li Luo what it meant.

"Photographing the filming base?"

Zhang Guoli was almost choked by the cigarette in his hand.

Li Luo happily leaned back on the sofa and looked at the others with a relaxed expression: "Hu Zi built Tian Long Ba Bu City and Shen Condor City for filming, why can't I build a Zhen Huan City?"

As soon as these words came out.

Zheng Xiaolong's eyes were so bright that they seemed to glow.

For any director, being able to create a shooting scene completely according to his or her own wishes is a dream come true.

did not expect.

I can actually enjoy this kind of treatment.

"no."

Zhang Guoli rubbed his shiny bald head vigorously, feeling a toothache: "Is this a question of whether it can be done? Our production budget is indeed quite sufficient, but you can't spend it all on the set, right?"

"Are you still going to shoot the show?"

When a basin of cold water mixed with ice cubes was poured down, the light in Zheng Xiaolong's eyes quickly faded.

Dreams are beautiful.

But we have to consider the reality when doing things.

It's only 15 million here.

It is more than enough to rebuild on the existing basis, but building from scratch is just a pipe dream.

"shoot!"

Li Luo smiled and picked up the tea, motioning to the others, "Xinghuo Films plans to spend another 100 million to build a special filming base based on the filming requirements of The Legend of Zhen Huan."

"Next."

"I'll leave it to Director Zheng!"

Look at that handsome face and those white teeth when he smiles.

Zheng Xiaolong's heart was pounding.

this time.

Our great director was so happy that he almost fainted.

The news that Happy Camp’s viewership ratings exceeded 4%.

It not only caused a stir in Xinghuo Film and Television, but also almost swept the entire Mango TV. Since Li Luo rarely participates in variety shows, the program team thought that the ratings of this show might explode.

It will explode so violently.

It rushed up with an overwhelming force and directly won the throne of the viewership champion of Happy Camp.

This champion.

But it's not just this year.

Especially the part where Li Luo fed fans fried pork with peppers, the peak ratings exceeded 4.1. When hearing the news, the staff of the Happy Camp program team were simply cheering.

Higher ratings.

It means more resources are allocated.

It also means that Mango TV will firmly maintain its position as the leader in variety shows.

At such a critical moment.

Achieved a new ratings record.

For the staff of the Happy Camp program team, it is undoubtedly a proud occasion.

There's a gust of wind when he walks.

There were also a few bursts of laughter coming from Ouyang Changlin's office.

The secretaries were all delighted to hear this.

As calls were made from the director's office one after another, Mango TV accelerated its gears like a machine, continuing to promote the new drama.

Changsha Mango TV, Beijing Xinghuo Film and Television.

Money and influence are used as fuel to drive all entertainment media and portals, bulletin boards, blogs, and forums, large and small, so that the phrase "love without compromise" spreads like a virus.

Netizens were puzzled by what they saw, but they were also filled with curiosity.

This kind of thing.

It can be created out of thin air.

As the word continues to spread.

The phrase "Love without compromise" quickly became popular all over the Internet, and was even comparable to the phrase "Meng Meng stand up" which became popular due to the hit movie "Red Cliff", leaving colleagues dumbfounded.

I don't understand how Li Luo performed this magic trick.

But no matter how abrupt that sentence appeared, the attention to "Silent Separation" is still rising rapidly due to the enthusiastic popularization of Luo fans and book fans.

Leaving Li Luo busy with casting work in Beijing, Lin Yue boarded a plane with her assistant and headed straight to the southeast.

Start looking for a suitable place to build a film and television base.

Hangzhou.

Investment promotion department.

The crisp sound of high heels attracted the attention of people who were doing business in the lobby. They saw two women who looked a little tired. The one in the lead was still wearing a neat suit even in the hot weather.

Although she has a very pretty appearance, the black-framed glasses on her face give her an aura that makes people feel like they are not allowed to approach her.

Makes her look old-fashioned.

As a result, the men present all withdrew their gazes.

The cool air from the air conditioner made Lin Yue breathe a sigh of relief, and she quickly looked around the hall.

The first station.

She chose to land in the capital of Zhejiang Province.

Although the two provinces are vast, it is not easy to find a suitable place. It is necessary to consider factors such as population density, economic strength, and transportation conditions.

Find a place where no one lives.

No matter how well a film and television city is built, it is difficult to attract tourists to visit.

Economic strength.

It is a test of the local supporting facilities.

Not to mention the transportation conditions, it’s all nonsense to say that it’s not convenient to travel.

It can cover two provinces.

But it is really very big.

If we were to stroll through each city one by one, no amount of time would be enough.

Some things don't necessarily have to be done by yourself, and some resources can be used well. Only a fool would run around with a map. In fact, the investment promotion department knows very well what places are suitable.

As long as the project is good enough, there is no need to worry about not finding branches.

"Hello."

As she looked around deliberately, a staff member soon came forward with a smile and asked, "How can I help you?"

In some places.

Just take your time to find connections!

When the relationship is in place, we can start talking about things.

"Hello."

“I don’t know which person in charge should I look for?”

"Spark Films?"

The clerk took the business card, but she subconsciously looked to the side and saw a man who came to do business holding a Sprite and drinking it.

On the plastic packaging of the bottle.

"Uh"

The clerk turned around.

Blinking eyes.

Looking at the face full of questions, Lin Yue smiled at the right time.

In heart.

But he was playing the drums like crazy.

Cultural industry, boosting GDP, increasing employment rate, big stars, news media, external influence, and promoting the tourism industry, these words revolved in her mind like a revolving lantern.

"Manager Linlin, right?"

"Wait a minute, don't run around!"

While the clerk was giving instructions again and again, he held the business card tightly in his fingers.

But the footsteps just moved.

She noticed her colleague nearby again.

"it is good!"

Lin Yue withdrew her gaze from the air conditioner three meters away and nodded with a smile.
