Chapter 91: The 91st Melon Project
Xu Qingye wanted to send Chen Que to the airport, but going back and forth was too troublesome, so he helped Chen Que pack his luggage and the two said goodbye at the door.
"You must come when I finish filming."
"Well, it's your first movie, I'm definitely going."
Xu Qingye nodded. He recalled the plot. Shen Que did not start filming immediately. Huihuang Film and Television still valued him very much, so they were very rigorous in selecting scripts, which gave him a lot of time to himself. In this way, Shen Que would have some free time after the filming was completed, and he could make up for his previous trip at that time.
After seeing Shen Que off, Xu Qingye lay on the sofa for a while, then ordered a takeaway and started working.
Xu Qingye: @Yi He @Cao Mu'an, we've taken down Li Wei. Can one of you come up with a transformation plan?
Xu Qingye @ed two people in the work group. They have been doing the celebrity packaging business. In addition to the few that Xu Qingye himself is responsible for, Yihe has also received a few orders, but they are all small artists who have just debuted, and basically they just come up with some promotional plans.
Li Wei wants to transform, which is a rather complicated task. The plan she comes up with must convince the other party. Empty clichés are obviously useless.
Cao Muan: How come you've already dealt with her right after I left? You make me look like a burden!!!
Yihe: You are quite self-aware.
Xu Qingye: With all the commotion online, don't you understand what's going on? I only gave her a little help. So, who of you two should take charge? Cao Muan, you should take the lead. You're pretty familiar with each other.
Xu Qingye sent a cocky emoticon and handed the handle directly to Cao Muan.
Cao Muan was still busy with the film queen's work, and now she was given another job, she immediately raised her hand in protest.
Cao Muan: No, I’m very busy, and I’ve never done work like artist work planning, I can’t do it well.
Xu Qingye: I will accompany you to do it, don’t say that I can’t do it well.
Xu Qingye arranged the work and asked them how the preparations for the party were going.
Speaking of this, Cao Muan became excited again. They have been investigating Zhuang Xinya's case these past two days and have found out a lot of information.
Speaking of this, it was thanks to Yi He that he was a rich second generation. After a little inquiry, he found out a lot of inside information. Zhuang Xinya's husband was known as a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong. The wedding of the century was a sensation at the time. It turned out that the other party was just a hollow shell. He was considered wealthy in his early years, but his business has plummeted in recent years. All his assets have been mortgaged. He is completely a fake rich man.
Zhuang Xinya discovered this soon after she got married, but she had to grit her teeth and persevere for the sake of face. Over the years, she has used a lot of her own assets to embellish her happy life, but she is a little overwhelmed, so she thinks about making money.
Zhuang Xinya’s goal is very clear, which is money, so if you want to discuss cooperation with her, you must use money to attract her.
Cao Muan: I will first let Yi He use her beauty trap, then spend a lot of money on shopping to attract his attention, and then spread the news that he is the young master of the Yi family, so that Zhuang Xinya will take the initiative to get close to us, and then we can say that Yi He is very interested in the entertainment industry, and talk to her about various projects to trap her first.
Xu Qingye looked at Cao Mu's plan and wanted to punch her twice through the Internet.
Xu Qingye: It's so vulgar and bad. What is Plan B? Let's have something more reliable.
Yi He: I don't really have any specific plans; I'm just going to play it by ear. If I could get in touch with Zhuang Xinya, I'd be straightforward about my interest in collaborating. She's been out of the entertainment industry for quite some time, and she's probably quite lost. If someone who can help her shows up, I think she'd be open to a chance meeting.
Yihe’s idea is actually very simple. Doing business does not require too many twists and turns. As long as you can put forward an altruistic suggestion, the other party will generally give you a chance.
Xu Qingye: Well, you guys can do whatever you want.
Cao Muan: He didn't even mention what he was planning, so why did you just say "hmm"? And my response was so vulgar and lame. Damn it!!! I want to protest!!!
Xu Qingye: Since you are protesting, please give me a detailed plan and send it to me tomorrow morning.
Xu Qingye quickly finished typing, Cao Muan sent an emoji of his soul ascending to heaven, and then silently opened his private chat box.
Cao Muan: Dear boss, you are not serious.
Xu Qingye: I am quite serious.
Cao Muan: Let’s talk about Li Wei’s work plan. I want to learn from you.
Cao Muan abruptly changed the subject. Xu Qingye didn't bother to pay attention to her and sent her a lot of data.
Xu Qingye: Let’s sort out these data first, then I’ll talk to Li Wei in detail and then we’ll move forward.
Oli's event was held on an island. Oli contracted the air tickets and hotels for the invited guests. After the guests arrived, they were directly arranged to stay in a five-star hotel on the island. Stylists were also provided for everyone.
The day was packed with activities. Everyone had three looks. They got up early in the morning to put on makeup and choose dresses. In the morning, everyone was arranged to watch a new product launch show. If they liked something, they could buy it on the spot.
After watching the show, I took a short break and started preparing for the second look. The dresses pushed out at this time were all new models and you could choose whatever you wanted. Of course, they had already started selling here.
In the afternoon, there is an elegant afternoon tea tasting and some handmade DIY activities. In the evening, it is the most anticipated dinner party. The dinner party will be attended by celebrities, and the celebrities’ clothes are all made of products. The evening sales depend entirely on them.
These brands know how to manipulate customers' minds. They treat them with delicious food and drinks, provide venues for wearing formal attire, and invite a large number of VIC customers and celebrities at one time. Their competitive spirit must soar to the sky, and they all work hard to show their strength.
Although the brand spent a lot of money at the end of the day, it also made a lot of money and made the VICS very happy.
Yi He didn't really like participating in this kind of activities. He had been there twice with his mother before. His mother was happily shopping, but he just sat there and ate most of the time. Anyway, at that time he was not very interested in celebrities and the entertainment industry, and he never thought that he would be in this industry now.
"What should I do if I'm asked to buy something? I don't have any money."
Cao Muan was a little worried. Although her family had a little money, they definitely couldn't afford to spend it like this.
"You used my invitation, and it will all be charged to my account. If you like anything, just pick two. Don't worry too much about it. It's my mom's card anyway."
Yi He replied indifferently.
"Is it okay for me to spend millions? You really are a copycat."
"If you spend millions, you and I will die, and my mother will come to kill us." Yi He gave him a terrifying death smile. The second generation of rich people are actually very poor. The wealth is in the hands of their parents. Although they can spend it, they are not that free.
When Yi He was spending lavishly, most of the money he spent was his own money, and he didn't dare to spend the family's money casually.
Mainly because it’s too troublesome!
Cao Muan smiled awkwardly, put on her eye mask and closed her eyes to rest. When the plane landed, she was about to spend the most wonderful day, which would probably become the most brilliant memory of her life when she recalled it in the future.
Cao Muan and Yi He were flying to the island, while Xu Qingye met with Li Wei again. This time it was a very formal meeting, and they made an appointment at the agency.
The crew of "Pin Jiang Shan" has temporarily stopped work and is busy looking for the male lead. Although there were some backup roles before, things on the crew became a bit ugly and those people don't want to get involved in this matter, so they have to look for someone new.
The crew was a bit too lazy to think and directly chose from the male artists recommended by netizens. They have been busy with auditions these days. The candidates recommended by netizens are not popular actors, most of them are more in line with the image of the male lead in their minds. This is a good thing for the crew, as less popular actors are more willing to seize the opportunity.
In the office, the agent expressed his gratitude to Xu Qingye again. Li Wei had some bad luck this year, and it seemed that nothing she did was going well, especially with the recent series of accidents. It was really fortunate that she had Xu Qingye's help, otherwise she would have been inexplicably blamed.
"I was originally quite hesitant about whether to change my career. Although I've been constantly being exploited over the years, at least I've always been an S+ female lead, and my dramas have been both hits and flopped, which is pretty balanced. But this incident has really made me wary. If this continues, the co-stars Weiwei meets will only get worse and worse. Everyone will want to bully her because she's good-tempered."
The agent was a little angry. When they first discussed the contract, they never mentioned that the opposing actor would be so bad. It was simply a scam.
"The transformation is right. I've heard that starting from the second half of the year, the market share of costume dramas will be controlled, and there will also be regulations on the number of episodes of TV series. Costume dramas may face the risk of difficulty in distribution."
Xu Qingye took a sip of tea and showed an unfathomable expression. He naturally got the information from the original book.
"We filmed it but can't release it? Then all the actors' work would be in vain."
The agent was a little surprised. She silently took note of this matter and prepared to ask someone to inquire about its authenticity. If it was true, the work of several artists under her would have to be adjusted.
The most important thing for an actor when filming is not the pay, but the broadcast. Only after the broadcast can he be exposed and become famous. If a drama is filmed but cannot be broadcast, it will be very hurtful for the actor, which means that several months of work have been in vain.
"Distribution difficulties are only one aspect. The main issue is that people are a bit tired of period dramas these days, and filming too many of them isn't going to help. But transitioning isn't that simple either. You've probably tried before, but all failed. I've put together a simple plan for you to take a look at. I'll have to discuss the specifics later."
Xu Qingye handed Li Wei the plan he had written overnight. He said that this was just a rough outline and many things needed to be discussed in detail.
Xu Qingye stayed in the office for an entire afternoon. Li Wei looked at his schedule carefully. Xu Qingye actually found a variety show for her. It was a star acting competition variety show organized by several big directors. I heard that they organized this variety show to cast for their own movies.
The variety show is still soliciting investment, and it is not yet known whether the show can be carried out, but Xu Qingye has still been included in the schedule. If it can really be filmed, Li Wei can at least get to know many directors through this show, show herself in front of them, and have opportunities for cooperation in the future.
In addition, Xu Qingye also listed some other plans, all of which were based on Li Wei's previous works and her personality. Xu Qingye has no other skills, but he is good at judging people. He is very good at discovering a person's characteristics and finding a path that suits him.
