Chapter 303 It's decided to be you, Mr. Meng!

"Song Zhi? Oh, yes, she is an artist of your Arclight."

Hou Hongliang naturally remembered Song Zhi. As the first project after the company's independence, the success of "The Disguiser" directly established the status of Noon Sunshine.

And "Yu Manli" played by Song Zhi is one of the most outstanding roles, so naturally he will not forget it.

"This project is indeed in the casting stage recently. In the past few days, the crew is still communicating with the team of the heroine actor..."

Hou Hongliang's answer seems irrelevant, but it is a euphemism to indicate that the heroine has been decided.

But Meng Bai doesn't care. If there is no heroine, the second or third female with a good personality will also be fine.

Song Zhi has gained a lot of heat and popularity with the two "female supporting" roles in "The Disguiser" and "Sparrow", and has also starred in several TV series in the past two years.

But on the one hand, the quality of the script is not high, and on the other hand, the image and temperament are a bit soft. As a result, the evaluation of the heroine is not as good as when she played the supporting actress before.

To put it bluntly, the momentum can't stand the heroine.

Instead of continuing to force herself to play unsuitable "female leads" for the sake of status, it is better to choose "female supporting roles" with good roles and personalities in big productions.

As a big production project of Noon Sunshine, "Do You Know It Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin" naturally has no problem with quality and popularity.

Moreover, the subject matter is a costume drama of house fighting, which is also a chance for her to broaden her acting range and transformation, so that this girl doesn't complain every day that she can only receive scripts of some spy war dramas.

Seeing that Meng Bai did not force the female lead, Hou Hongliang was relieved.

It's not that he doesn't like Song Zhi, but the crew has almost communicated with Zhao Liying's team, and it is really inconvenient to change people.

But since there is no requirement for the female lead, it will be much easier.

Roles like "Fourth Sister Molan" or "Fifth Sister Rulan" are very suitable for Song Zhi's image. When the time comes, you can choose whichever one is suitable.

After deciding on the role, Hou Hongliang couldn't help but ponder.

Just for a female supporting role, do you need Meng Bai, the boss of Arc Light, to come to you in person to talk?

Perhaps, this is just a "testing the waters".

The other party's real idea may be to take this opportunity to explore whether there is a possibility of cooperation with Noon Sunshine, so they deliberately use this little thing to implicitly release goodwill.

It's not that Hou Hongliang deliberately overthinks.

If Meng Bai is just a "well-known screenwriter" or Arclight is just a new company, it may be that simple.

However, with Meng Bai and Arclight's current status and influence in the industry, as the head of a film and television company, Hou Hongliang has to think deeply about the hidden meaning behind the other party's actions.

What's more, as the top team in the film and television industry, if Arclight really has the idea of ​​cooperation, it will be a good thing for Noon Sunshine.

After thinking for a while, Hou Hongliang took the initiative to smile and said: "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a long time. After the meeting is over, why don't we have dinner together in the evening."

Meng Bai was a little confused when he suddenly received the invitation.

He naturally didn't know what Hou Hongliang was thinking, otherwise he would have to tell him that he didn't have any extra thoughts, he just happened to meet today, so he just said it by the way.

However, he did not refuse the other party's temporary invitation.

They are in the same industry, their tracks are not quite the same, and they are not in competition. It is always good to have more friends.

What's more, Noon Sunshine has good connections in circles such as Mango TV, Shanghai Circle, and Magnolia.

For Arc Light, who is now planning to develop into a TV series, it is also a worthy target to make friends with.

They each have their own needs, and the dinner party in the evening was decided with laughter. While

the two were chatting, most of the people who attended today's opinion meeting were also present. The person

in charge of today's meeting on the radio and television side is still Director Nie, who has dealt with him many times before.

To be precise, he should be called "Director Nie" now.

At the beginning of the year, there was a wave of personnel changes in the Radio and Television Bureau. This person was promoted to deputy director and is now in charge of the development and review of the domestic film and television industry.

Today's opinion meeting is mainly aimed at the "Several Policy Opinions on Supporting the Prosperity and Development of TV Series" newly proposed this year.

For the various new policies involved, we will solicit opinions from major film and television companies and video platforms.

There are a total of fourteen contents, such as strengthening support for main themes and realistic works, optimizing the cost allocation of TV series, standardizing the TV station ratings statistics model, supporting domestic dramas "going overseas", etc.

How to say it, these policies look quite comprehensive, but in fact they are all old-fashioned problems, nothing new.

Including Meng Bai, most of the people present today are mainly concerned about the adjustments for online dramas.

Everyone hopes that the policy for online dramas will be the same as the other few, without any changes.

Unfortunately, everyone's guesses were dashed.

"... Coordinate the management of TV series and online dramas, and apply the same standards to TV series and online dramas... Strengthen the content control before the program goes online, and further strengthen the main responsibility of the platform website... Film and television dramas that have not obtained a license issued by the radio and television department shall not be broadcast online."

There was an uproar at the meeting.

The "unified standards for TV and Internet" policy that everyone has been worried about for two years has finally been introduced.

According to this policy, all future "key web dramas" will not only be submitted for review before going online, but the review standards will also need to be the same as those for TV dramas.

What is considered a "key web drama"?

According to the latest standards set by the relevant departments at the beginning of the year, all web dramas with a production cost of more than "5 million" and "1 million online movies" that are promoted on the homepage of mainstream video platforms are included.

With the current development scale of the web drama market, the cost of any web drama that can be named is basically no less than 10 million.

This standard basically includes all projects produced by all major companies and video platforms.

This has shaken the foundation of the web drama industry.

After all, compared to TV dramas, one of the main advantages of web dramas from the beginning is a wider range of themes and a simpler review mechanism.

Now that the same standards as TV dramas are required, what is the meaning of the web drama model?

Therefore, as soon as this policy was announced, the three video platforms on the scene, as well as Arclight and other film and television companies whose main business is web dramas, raised objections one after another.

Fortunately, today's meeting was originally for practitioners to give their opinions.

Seeing that the heads of various companies present were so excited, Director Nie immediately said that the specific implementation of the policy could be discussed again.

"Let's do this. It's a bit chaotic for everyone to say their own things. We will then hold a small discussion meeting for each specific policy. Everyone will select three to four representatives to put forward their opinions." Director Nie said.

With this sentence, the scene calmed down a little.

But then, another problem arose, who should be selected as the representative?

The three video platforms must each send one, and the remaining candidates must be found from the film and television companies.

The heads of each company were pondering in their hearts.

This "representative" must first have a high status in the industry and cannot be a small company.

Secondly, it must be influential, at least everyone can understand it.

Then the main interest must be in the online drama, so that his position can be guaranteed.

After screening so many requirements, it seems that there are only a few who can meet the requirements.

For a moment, the heads of various companies at the scene looked at the young figure sitting in the front row tacitly.

I've decided it's you, Mr. Meng!
