Chapter 482
While netizens were focusing on whether photographer Zhou Xiao could successfully transition to director, the vast majority of fans on various platforms were as excited as if it were the New Year.
With the fan club members already tacitly agreeing, not only did they know that Sister Xindong would be filming for Xiao Shao, but they could also now more easily digest the rumor of "Dancing Fish." Not to mention, Sister Xindong is actually the director of the film!
It was like an unrealistic fantasy. When Chen Zhuzhu saw the news at home, she even felt like she was dreaming. A dream that was born out of her hope that Sister Xindong could continue to work with Shao Zi on filming.
Many fans share Chen Zhuzhu's sentiments, but their fantasies often fall short of reality. At best, they hope New Town can find Xindong Jie and sign a long-term contract with her studio to produce Ji Shao's official photos, performances, and music videos. In short, they've thought of everything imaginable, only forgetting that Xindong's work can also transition from mobile screens to television.
No! Chen Zhuzhu suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Just recently, during the CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, her sister had already successfully entered the screen. Even now, she's still talked about with great relish, having already successfully made her work move from the small screen to the big screen, from the virtual internet to the televisions of thousands of households.
…
Afternoon.
When Zhou Xiao perfectly met Chen Shenju's expectations and finished the official photo shoot in less than a morning, she returned to the villa with Director Fang and just turned on her phone, she was flooded with 99+ unread messages from various apps.
What Zhou Xiao didn't know was that although the "Dancing Fish" project had already been confirmed to be Ji Shao's before today, the fan club hadn't even dared to release a fan preview because it hadn't been officially announced.
There are so many last-minute substitutions before filming begins that everyone is afraid! But in today's world, even after filming begins, you can still make a substitution. But that has nothing to do with the fans.
Ji Shao's debut film had a significant impact on the fan community. It was even the first time a domestic actor played a central role in a film. Even with the qualifier "first," it clearly demonstrated the high barrier to entry for actors in the domestic film market.
While showrunners have a large following and can quickly garner significant attention for their TV series and web series, opportunities are often artificially biased when compared to those with resources who rely on their alma mater, professional training, and connections.
Amid the crazy discussion among netizens about Zhou Xiao's filming of "Dancing Fish", Digital, the president of the fan club, had this excuse for the first time to ask Xincheng to give her a positive answer.
The red article on the marketing account is a signal sent by the agency. Since Xincheng has already promoted it, you can't ask their fan club to hide it from the fans? Don't give out the exact information, right?
Among the new information on Zhou Xiao 99+, a considerable part of it came from private messages from fans. The fans were sure that Ji Shao had taken on "Dancing Fish", so whether Zhou Xiao was the director was very important to them.
So when the fan club learned from Xincheng that the film company agreed to fans claiming the film, they quickly notified their fans. The fans, who finally felt relieved, started to promote the film under the organization of the big fans, and Zhou Xiao's account once again received a large number of private messages from fans.
This wave of hot searches even attracted Dong Xiaoyu, who had been busy with work and working overtime every day. After seeing this news in the pop-up advertisement that popped up on the browser, she quickly went to the tea room and asked about Zhou Xiaolai with Qi Sisi and others in the small group.
…
On the other hand, Zhu Jian, who heard the news, felt that he was extremely lucky. He was lucky that he liked Ji Shao, and he was also lucky that he had Xiaoxiao as a fellow sufferer.
When she thought about how she felt sorry for Xiaoxiao last time because she couldn't go to Yun Province, and that maybe Zhou Xiao was already with the crew of "Dancing Fish" at that time, her heart began to itch.
Who wouldn't want to be the first to know the script of "Dancing Fish"? What's more, it's a script written by a top screenwriter!
As he thought about it, Zhu Jian's train of thought began to deviate. You have to know that because of Ji Shao, they had spent a lot of effort and money to purchase the scripts and notices for "The Unparalleled General" and "Interweaving".
Especially during the filming of the second TV series, "Interweaving," some people deliberately raised the price. What could those who wanted it do? Naturally, they had to buy it at a high price.
The sale and purchase of scripts and notices are inherently a gray area, but with the current online climate, the existence of these two things allows agencies to instruct fans to carry out related operations. This is why agencies don't mind the leakage of scripts and notices.
Of course, this only applies to productions where there's competition between actors or fandoms of two groups. For Ji Shao and Tiao Si, this is completely unnecessary. Fans wanting to buy the notice and script are purely out of curiosity and to facilitate visits to the set.
If she were to haggle with those middlemen again and mention that the director of "Dancing Fish" was a fan of hers, wouldn't that immediately break their hearts? Zhu Jian couldn't help but laugh out loud as she thought about it. She finally understood how great it was to have such a backer.
Moreover, Zhu Jian also came up with a shady plan on the spur of the moment. If the crew of "Dancing Fish" wanted to catch the people who sold notices and scripts, then they could completely help Xiaoxiao as an insider to catch those who resold and raised prices.
Of course, they thought so, but after everyone learned about the film's production team, they all decided not to buy the notice or script for "Dancing Fish". Let Xiao Shao finish the film in peace, which was the idea of everyone in the fan club.
This is certainly not because the fan club has no money or does not pay attention to Ji Shao, but after hearing the popularization of teacher Muzi, who has been in the domestic entertainment industry for many years, everyone now knows that New Town will organize fans to visit the crew every once in a while!
These visits organized by agencies are not only safe and free, but also prevent fans from being ripped off by studio staff. This explains why so many people want their artists to join a reputable agency. Not only do these artists benefit from the resources of a large agency, but fans can also have a better time chasing their idols.
Furthermore, the existence of organized set visits has significantly reduced the number of sasaeng fans among New Town artists. Once discovered, sasaeng fan behavior will be blacklisted by the company. A set visit like this is a minor matter, but when it comes to birthday parties, which require triple identity verification and public disclosure, sasaeng fans are permanently barred.
For example, in the fan club's public list, an insider secretly used a fake account to send private messages to everyone in the fan club, proving that someone was a sasaeng. After repeated verification and confirmation, Digital immediately kicked the sasaeng off the list and replaced it with a clean fan.
Zhou Xiao saw this announcement this morning before he drove off. Even the thousands of comments below it applauded the handling of the situation. As for the person who was publicly identified as a "stalker," after a series of futile attempts to argue, he simply threw the towel and took to a Weibo account to insult the fan club and the person who allegedly reported him.
Zhu Jian also told Zhou Xiao about this matter. The fan club actually knew the real account of the contributor, and those who were insulted by the fans would be included in the future investigation list. But this did not mean that they did not trust them. They judged their actions, not their hearts. As long as they did not do anything wrong in the future, the fan club would not restrict them.
After parking her car in the basement and waving goodbye to Director Fang, who had generously given her a few days off, Zhou Xiao stayed in the car and began answering everyone's messages. Besides the things that couldn't be kept secret, she also answered questions that didn't involve concrete details, such as whether filming was about to start, which had everyone extremely curious.
Zhou Xiao remained calm as she watched her friends in the group take screenshots of the trending searches. She had already gotten a sense of security when she saw the approval value from the system's backend while waiting at the traffic light.
Zhou Xiao discovered something crucial about her recognition score: its current rate of increase was not slow at all. Every increase in her recognition score was a concrete sign of support for her. Being able to see its changes was incredibly valuable and precious to Zhou Xiao.
After getting off the car, Zhou Xiao took the elevator directly to her floor. When she got out of the elevator and stood on the third floor, she could still vaguely hear the voices reciting the corresponding plot content downstairs.
The actors' formal reading time was drawing near, and today was the final casting. Zhou Xiao, who had unknowingly climbed onto the railing, stood up, took a deep breath, and headed straight for his room.
"Creaky" This was the sound of one of the doors being pushed open. When Cat Sister, who was still a little sleepy in her pajamas, saw Zhou Xiao, she suddenly became much more awake.
"Xiao Zhou~ Come to my room later! Let's chat~" Mao Ning said with a warm smile, "I got an inspiration in the early morning, so I changed the place!"
Zhou Xiao paused. "No, who said screenwriters are the lowest in the crew? Isn't it said that screenwriters write stories for directors and producers, not their own stories?"
Oh, okay, she forgot the most important point. The screenwriter of "Dancing Fish" is Mr. Mao Ning, a rare screenwriter in China who writes his own stories. Even Director Fang has to constantly revise the script based on his changes, let alone her.
Zhou Xiao, who originally wanted to go and edit the film...when he saw the other person's bright eyes, he turned around and walked skillfully towards the other person's room.
"Sister Mao, please go wash up first." Sister Mao, who only has inspiration late at night, has a completely reversed schedule every day. This is already a well-known fact in the villa.
Zhou Xiao pushed open the door, and as expected, the first thing she saw was a somewhat messy desk. She turned around and said to Mao Ning, who was yawning without any image, "Let me take a look at the revised content first, and we can discuss it later!"
"Okay!"
The person who called her left in a hurry, and Zhou Xiao smiled helplessly. After everyone sat down on the chairs, they began to sort the papers on the table according to the numbers marked on the A4 papers by Sister Mao.
As for why she was watching all of them, after spending so many days at Director Fang's, Zhou Xiao had no doubt that another small meeting would be held tonight. Although Director Fang had given her a few days off to do post-production on Ji Shao's original film, she was very aware that she had to attend tonight.
After all, who could have imagined that, just as casting was about to conclude, their screenwriter would have second thoughts? On other sets, this kind of thing might never happen, or even if it did, it would be met with widespread complaints. But on the "Dancing Fish" crew, every staff member who read the script accepted it with a mixture of pain and joy.
Because the script is so good, so good that even after such a "torture", everyone is willing to discuss it again and explore the necessity of revisions. Mao Jie's handwriting on the A4 paper is a bit sloppy, but she is used to writing by hand and is not used to electronic writing.
While Zhou Xiao was adjusting the order, he was also carefully looking at the content. After all, this was the next script they were going to shoot, and it was also his first drama!
