Chapter 96

Apart from Ye Qiuxin who reaped the most benefits, the actor who received the most attention was naturally Ji Xue, whose popularity was almost comparable to that of the female lead, followed by Shu Miao who played Zhao Zhenyue.

Shu Miao is from Jianfeng. Although her agent is Zhu Lan, she is still Shen Mingzheng's subordinate.

The ancient costume drama that Zhu Lan arranged for her was not well received, which was a big blow to her career. But after this drama was released, the situation was different. In a big hit drama, even the income of a supporting role could crush the main role of an ordinary drama.

There was a casting change during the filming, but during the promotion and promotion on variety shows, Ji Xue and Shu Miao seemed to have a good relationship, and the entire crew was harmonious.

And no matter how you calculate it, Su'ning still has the highest profit.

Even Ye Qiuxin, who was not from his company, came to him. This was originally the external aid he specially invited.

When the show just started, Ye Qiuxin met Su Ninggou as the lead actress. To some extent, her personality is somewhat similar to that of the female lead Luo Suyan. She is calm and thoughtful, and has high emotional intelligence, so she acted so well.

After the play became a hit, she became busy, but she even came to congratulate Su Ning in person before the Spring Festival.

And she didn't come alone, she brought other people with her, including director Guo Baomu and another person who was the person in charge of her previous cooperation company.

Most of the period dramas and historical dramas that Ye Qiuxin had acted in before were produced by a company, Chenhuang Film and Television. This company came to visit specially, of course not just to congratulate, Ye Qiuxin brought people up to discuss business.

Chenhuang Film and Television is also a long-established company in the industry, but it is not as good at making money as Gaoshan Film and Television. Although period dramas and historical dramas have fixed sales channels, and some of them have good ratings, the filming costs of these dramas are not low. Most of the dramas are silent and are criticized by many viewers for being too boring.

Director Guo Baomu also came out of this company and later set up his own business. This old company can make some money, but not much. After this cooperation with Su Ning, it has achieved such a great success, so the other party also wants to test whether Su Ning has the idea of ​​continuing the cooperation.

Every film and television company hopes to make a real hit.

Su Ning had seen the works of Chen Huang Film and Television. They might not be so "fashionable", but they were of high quality. This company had always been quite aloof before, and he was quite surprised that they were willing to establish a connection with Ye Qiuxin this time. It could also be said that they were pleasantly surprised.

When it comes to period dramas and historical dramas, Su Ning is not as professional as them. This requires accumulation and is definitely not something that can be produced in just a few years.

Even though he didn't make any money, he didn't try to change the other party's mind. However, cooperation between the two sides might produce something new, so Su Ning was willing to invest.

"Of course we can cooperate. Teacher Ye is so outstanding, and Director Guo Baomu is so capable. They were all trained by your company," Su Ning said. "I now want to make a series of entrepreneurial dramas with a historical background. We can discuss this project in detail."

If you need to study the modern or ancient background, Chen Huang is the most suitable one. It was not easy to find such a relationship in the past.

But Su Ning changed the subject again when he said this: "I am very willing to give you money. I hope your company can continue to insist on making this kind of serious and sophisticated drama. If necessary, you can make a documentary."

"If the income is not enough, just come to me."

Whether a work is popular with the audience is not the only criterion for evaluating the quality of a work.

As far as Ye Qiuxin is concerned, if she hadn't polished those works, she would definitely not be where she is today.

Hearing this, the person in charge from Chenhuang Film and Television came over and shook hands with him again, this time with much more sincerity than at the beginning. Ye Qiuxin originally thought that things would not be so smooth when he came here, as this kind of investment was not small, but Su Ning agreed immediately.

He just has a lot of money now. Unlike Su Ning and Zhu Lan, he is not just in it for the money.

After finishing the discussion smoothly, Ye Qiuxin obviously had more to say, so Su Ning gave her another cup of tea: "So, Teacher Ye, do you have any other suggestions?"

"Of course, this is for my own sake," Ye Qiu thought, "I want to ask Mr. Su, are you willing to sign me?"

Su Ning was stunned for a moment.

He didn't react immediately and said, "I thought you signed with Chenhuang Film and Television, this..."

Ye Qiuxin shook his head and said, "I haven't explained my situation to Mr. Su in detail yet. In fact, I haven't officially signed with the company yet."

After listening to this, Su Ning realized that this person joined the provincial drama troupe after graduation and is still a formal actor in the troupe. She will perform on stage from time to time according to the requirements of the drama troupe, but the drama troupe does not care about her in terms of film and television.

Ye Qiuxin had not signed a contract with Chenhuang Film and Television before. Chenhuang was a pure production company and did not have an artist management department. It had only helped her with some processes before. She had signed a simple contract, which was almost due to expire now.

In fact, Ye Qiuxin's film and television contracts and commercial contracts had not been formally signed. Most of the decisions were made by her herself, so when Shen Mingzheng went to invite people, he went to her house in person to negotiate the deal.

Ye Qiuxin originally wanted to continue living like this, because her previous business and cooperation were relatively simple and pure. Apart from a few plays, there was almost no commercial cooperation. She herself plus the occasional help provided by Chen Huang was enough to cope with it.

But now that the drama has become a hit, she has received some great resources and she also needs commercial cooperation. There is no need to refuse them like before. The business has become complicated and she really needs an artist management team right now.

In fact, before coming to find Su Ning, many companies received the news in advance and wanted to rush to sign her, and the signing fee alone was easily tens of millions, but Ye Qiuxin didn't trust them, so after thinking about it, she still found Su Ning.

In the entertainment industry, agents and companies are very important; otherwise, no matter how big the business is, it will collapse.

Ye Qiuxin had met many people in the messy entertainment circle. She could judge Su Ning's character, especially after seeing Ji Xue's development in recent time. She was even more certain about it, and she was even more confident after the conversation just now.

So she brought this up at this time.

Su Ning said, "Of course you can. Light and Shadow Entertainment is honored. If Mr. Ye has any requests after signing the contract, you can tell me."

Ye Qiuxin's contract with Guangying Entertainment was a big surprise to him. The company was no longer the mess it was before, and he could match Ye Qiuxin with the best agent team.

After the conversation this morning, he reached out and shook hands with each of the visitors, saying, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

The TV series "The Hands That Cover the Sky" was a hit from the beginning to the end. When the finale was aired in mid-February, the ratings had reached around 4. It can be said that it is already a candidate for this year's annual championship. Even if compared with the past decade, this result is still very impressive.

In addition to various visits, Su Ning's phone calls were almost blown up during this period. Except for the more important ones, he handed over most of the things to his subordinates to handle. Even a workaholic like him could not handle all the noise that came up when he heard the smell of a big explosion.

But even when he was so busy, he still paid close attention to the TV series itself. Judging from the ratings curve of this drama, the highest point of the whole drama was the final confrontation between Luo Suyan and Xia Houjin.

Xiahou Jin was originally a purely annoying villain, but during production, Su Ning adjusted her explosive part, and coupled with Ji Xue's performance, every detail between these women was beautiful.

In the original novel, this scene was supposed to be a scene of Xiahou Jin's despair after his defeat, but the character of the empress in the drama is somewhat different from that in the original novel, and Ji Xue made her a much more complex character.

The queen here did accept her defeat and knew she was powerless to change the situation. So when she was forced to kneel down by Luo Suyan's men and asked if she regretted it, she sneered: "What do I have to regret?"

Luo Suyan felt that the person in front of her would never repent, so she no longer had any sympathy. However, she was still puzzled by her change and asked, "Am I not good enough to you? Haven't I saved you and helped you? You like Zhao Yinting, and I let you marry him as you wished. You also became the queen. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

She couldn't figure out when this man turned bad.

Xiahou Jin smiled.

Luo Suyan was indeed good to her. Even at this point, he only gave her poisoned wine and left her body intact. She did not struggle at this time and drank the poisoned wine in front of her, but it did not mean that she gave in.

"Aunt."

She hadn't called him by that name for a long time. The two families were somewhat related. Xiahou Jin had called her by that name when he first appeared: "I have always, always envied you. You are good at everything, and now you have everything. I was just one step behind."

"Whether you believe it or not, I didn't want to do this at first. How could I dare to argue with you at first?"

When the poison took effect, she couldn't bear the pain. She stretched her neck and looked up. The square and magnificent palace above trapped her. She leaned forward and spit out a mouthful of blood. In the pain, she looked at Luo Suyan. The queen mother who held great power no longer used a phoenix hairpin on her head. Her hairpin was a double dragon playing with a pearl. The huge oriental pearl shone on her, making her look noble and beautiful.

"But I'm not wrong!"

Xiahou Jin kept saying this until he died of the poison.

"It's not my fault, little aunt, Queen Mother, Luo Suyan! Don't judge me from a high position. If nothing had happened at that time, and you had married His Majesty and become the Queen as you wished, you would have become like me! Because this is a hellhole, and everyone who enters this hellhole will become like me!"

"I'm not wrong!"

When she reached this point, she began to spit out large mouthfuls of blood. The rest of her words could no longer be heard clearly. She gradually lost her breath and lay on the ground with her eyes open.

Luo Suyan's men were afraid that she would offend the Empress Dowager, so they quickly dragged her away.

As an empress, she had so many crimes that she could not enjoy honors after her death. Xiahou Jin could not enter the imperial mausoleum. The Xiahou family could not bear it, so they asked for mercy and let her be buried in her hometown like a commoner, as if she had never come to the imperial city from the small town.

Russell agreed.

Thinking back to that time, if it weren't for the words of the distant relative Luo family, the Xiahou family would not have brought her all the way here, and perhaps there wouldn't have been so many things afterwards.

But things are unpredictable, and who can predict these?

The next shot is Xiahou Jin's two-year-old child stepping over the replaced carpet and coming in front of Luo Suyan. After all, she rose to power from the harem and holds the military power of the Luo family. But there are still civil officials in the court, and she is still a little stubborn.

If we change our flag now, there will be too much resistance. The child has not grown up yet and still needs this stepping stone to let her take the last step. When he grows up and Luo Suyan's power permeates, he will no longer be needed at that time.

Those who want to ascend the throne must naturally be more ruthless.

The child's face was never shown in the drama. Just like everyone else in the palace, he was led by his nanny, wearing a dragon robe that didn't fit him well, and kneeling obediently in front of her, just like all the stairs she had stepped on before.

This drama was very popular for more than a month, with a total of 68 episodes. It almost dominated the major hot lists during this period, and the average viewership rating was over 3.

Moreover, the news of Ye Qiuxin's signing was announced on the day of the show's finale, but although the show ended, this year's light and shadow entertainment did not end.

January has passed, and February is still dominated by Su'ning, and it is even hotter.

Because this month, the limited edition set of Glory, which has been in operation for a year and a half, expires, and we are preparing to say goodbye to everyone.

February is the farewell month for this truly top-tier group.
