Chapter 128: Madman, White-Eyed Wolf (Guaranteed Monthly Ticket)
For Yu Xiaoshu, riding on the popularity of others is also a science.
The word "蹭" fully demonstrates the broad spirit of the Chinese language.
And you can't use too much force when rubbing, as using too much force will have the opposite effect.
But at the same time, it can't be too light. If it is too light, it will have no effect at all.
Let me put it this way.
One point more won’t do, and one point less won’t do either.
Riding on the popularity of others is a technical job.
As for being embarrassed?
Don't be ridiculous. If you want to succeed you have to lose your shame.
This meeting was said to be chaired by Wang Baolai, but it was basically arranged by Yu Xiaoshu.
Li Yang was in charge of the publicity work for "The Rumored Chen Qianqian", while Wu Zhen was responsible for assisting.
Both of them said it was no problem.
After all, "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" has to be released even if people are not optimistic about it. After all, it has come to this time.
"Director Cao, I just heard from President Wang that you guys have signed a new director?"
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Cao Xiao.
Cao Xiao said: "Yes, she just graduated and doesn't have much experience yet. I am planning to let her go to the crew of "Outsiders" to be an assistant first to learn a little."
"No."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "Since he is from the academic school, he must have the ability. This is him."
Cao Xiao was stunned: "What do you mean, it's her?"
"She is the one who has chosen the online movie 'Hard Candy'. You can talk to him later and ask him to come to my office. I will talk to him in detail."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile.
Cao Xiao was a little anxious: "Teacher Yu, this won't work. After all, she has no directing experience."
Wang Bao also frowned and said, "Teacher Yu, would you like to reconsider this?"
"Don't think about it, I think it's fine."
Yu Xiaoshu said: "That's it."
have to.
Since Yu Xiaoshu said so, no one else said anything.
This is not bloat.
This is already crazy.
Li Yang, Wu Zhen and Cao Xiao looked at each other with some helplessness.
I thought Liu Qianqian was crazy enough, but it turns out this second boss is even crazier.
It's absolutely crazy.
This damn "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" will take 17 days to shoot the first three episodes.
That would be fine, but there comes another online movie, and it actually wants a new director to direct it.
What is this? ?
After leaving the meeting room, Wu Zhen was the first to lose patience: "Isn't this nonsense?"
"Okay, Lao Wu, keep your voice down."
Cao Xiao said somewhat helplessly.
"Can't we say anything about what he did?"
Wu Zhen said angrily, "Didn't we come to Mr. Wang to do something big? And Mr. Wang also said that he has absolute say in Baiqian Media. But you see, Liu Qianqian does trust Mr. Wang more, but what about Yu Xiaoshu?"
Cao Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "I have advised Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang meant for us to cooperate with Teacher Yu as much as possible."
"Cooperate with the ball?"
Wu Zhen said directly: "Just keep cooperating like this. I think Baiqian Media will be finished soon."
"Lao Wu, just say these words in front of the two of us. Don't go and tell Teacher Yu about it."
Li Yang warned Wu Zhen, "Mr. Yu is qualified to do this just because of "I Am Yu Huanshui" and "Undocumented Crime", and so many people begged him to sign the contract. He signed with Baiqian Media for Mr. Wang's sake. If you really have a falling out with him, who will be the unlucky one in the end?"
Cao Xiao also said, "Yes, Lao Wu, we are Mr. Wang's people. If we really make a fuss, Mr. Wang will be in trouble. And I believe Mr. Wang knows what's going on. Okay, no more talking. I have to go make arrangements. The most urgent thing is that we must listen to Teacher Yu. Even if we really want to make a fuss, we have to wait until the results of the two dramas "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" and "Hard Candy" are released."
After saying that, Cao Xiao went directly to the artist's office.
"I'm also going to the editing department to take a look at the materials for "The Rumored Chen Qianqian". Do you want to go?"
Li Yang asked Wu Zhen.
"Go, Lao Cao is right. Now we have to follow Yu Xiaoshu's arrangements. How can he still have the face to do that?"
Wu Zhen said angrily.
In the conference room.
Wang Bao smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Shu, do you really know?"
"Uncle Wang, don't worry."
Yu Xiaoshu said seriously: "No one cares more about the success of these two works than I do, so I won't do anything reckless."
"Okay, from now on, apart from the online drama "The Visitors from Outer Space", I can give you all the other resources. Baiqian Media will cooperate with you in everything."
Wang Bao gritted his teeth and said, "Since you know what's going on, I'll fight with you."
Anyway, this move won’t bring down Baiqian Media.
Wang Bao thought optimistically in his heart.
Fortunately, Liu Qianqian didn’t hear it, otherwise she would have been so depressed that she would scream.
What happened to the promise of becoming bigger and stronger?
How come the goal has become that it can’t be brought down anyway? ?
Artist's office area.
Because "Outsiders" had not started filming yet, the other artists were also there. Cao Xiao went directly to the director's group and said to a young girl, "Xiaofang, come with me."
Chen Fang stood up hurriedly and followed Cao Xiao out of the office area, but Cao Xiao neither told her where to go nor what to do.
"Director Cao, what are we doing..."
Chen Fang asked nervously.
"Haha, Xiaofang, don't be nervous, it's a good thing for you."
Cao Xiao looked at Chen Fang's expression and laughed: "It's Teacher Yu who is looking for you."
"Good news? Teacher Yu?"
Chen Fang was a little confused for a moment.
"Okay, you'll know when you get to Teacher Yu's office. Let's go, Teacher Yu should be waiting for you."
Cao Xiao spoke.
The artist area is not far from Yu Xiaoshu’s office.
Cao Xiao knocked on the door and walked in, then looked at Yu Xiaoshu and said, "Teacher Yu, this is the director Chen Fang we just signed."
"oh?"
Yu Xiaoshu was stunned when he looked at the girl. He thought she was a boy just now.
But the girl is just right.
"Okay, Director Cao, go ahead and get busy."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Cao Xiao: "I can just talk to Chen Fang."
"Okay then."
Cao Xiao nodded slightly and left.
"Sit down, don't be nervous, Cao Xiao has already told you just now."
Yu Xiaoshu asked Chen Fang with a smile.
Chen Fang shook her head: "Director Cao just said there was something good, but he didn't say anything specific."
"Oh, it's like this, I wrote a script for a web movie, and I want you to direct it."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Chen Fang.
"Huh?? What??"
Chen Fang stood up suddenly: "Teacher Yu, you mean for me to direct? Direct independently?"
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Yes, why? Is it difficult?"
"Teacher Yu, I have only shot short films in school, and the longest one was only 15 minutes. I have never had the experience of directing an online film independently."
Chen Fang said with some trepidation at this time.
"I know. I've just read your resume. Although you haven't directed a web movie, the short films you've directed have all received good reviews. One of them, "A Woman at 30," won the gold medal in a short film competition."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently: "There is no difference between short films and online movies. Experience is gained through trial and error. Everyone has a first time. I am not afraid that you will mess up, so what are you afraid of? So, are you willing to give me your first time?"
Chen Fang looked at Yu Xiaoshu and said, "Teacher Yu, I do."
"Okay, here's the script, take a look at it first."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Chen Fang, "I have already broken down the script. You can take a look at it in the next two days. The crew doesn't need you to come to prepare for the show. You only have one task now, which is to understand the script thoroughly. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I will be in the company these days."
Chen Fang took the script and said, "Okay, Teacher Yu, I'll take it back and read it now."
"Well, go ahead."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand and said.
After leaving Yu Xiaoshu's office, Chen Fang returned to the artist's office area with the script.
"Xiaofang, are you okay?"
Song Qing looked at Chen Fang and asked with concern.
"Thank you, senior. I'm fine."
Chen Fang said quickly, "It was Teacher Yu who wanted me to direct the online film."
"Oh, that's good. After all, you don't have much experience...wait."
Song Qing's face changed: "What did you say???"
The others also looked over.
"Teacher Yu asked me to direct the online film. I feel that I don't have enough experience, but Teacher Yu told me to do it boldly, so I will definitely work hard and never let Teacher Yu down."
Chen Fang said seriously.
"this??"
Wang Tianfang frowned and said, "Xiaofang, you really don't know Teacher Yu?"
“I don’t know him.”
Chen Fang shook her head and said, "We are not from the same school, how could we know each other?"
This is not a relationship.
A fresh graduate can independently direct an online movie? ?
The other people in the entire artist area didn’t know for a moment whether Yu Xiaoshu was crazy or they were crazy?
No matter how I look at this, it seems wrong.
…
Imperial capital, hotel.
"Xiao Zhi, take a look at the script first. I'll call them. They're all in the capital today, so let's have a meeting together."
Li Xia said with a smile on her face: "Du Peng is attending an event in the capital. As for Jiang Li, Sun Chao, and Deng Fei, they are all auditioning in the capital today. They should have finished their auditions by now. I will call them first."
Ten minutes later, Li Xia hung up the phone and said, "Jiang Li and the other two will be here soon. I sent a message to Du Peng, and I think he will be late. Today is really a double blessing. I thought we were lucky enough to get the female lead in Hard Candy, but I didn't expect that Teacher Yu would also give us the male lead."
Zhou Xiaozhi asked: "Who will audition for the male lead role?"
"Jiang Li, Sun Chao, and Deng Fei are all qualified. I plan to let the three of them try together. Whoever Teacher Yu likes will go first."
Li Xia smiled and said, "I have confidence in Jiang Li and the other two. As for Du Peng, I plan to let him focus on TV dramas instead of online movies."
Zhou Xiaozhi nodded gently: "That's fine, Sister Xia, if I can make a name for myself in this online drama, I will definitely work harder and help you make more money."
"Okay, Sister Xia is satisfied with your words."
Li Xia also laughed with some emotion when she heard Zhou Xiaozhi's words.
No matter what, she is content to have five artists who know how to be grateful: Zhou Xiaozhi, Du Peng, Jiang Li, Sun Chao and Deng Fei.
Li Xia believes that as long as everyone works together, they will succeed.
One hour later, the hotel doorbell rang.
"It seems that Jiang Li and his team arrived first."
Li Xia opened the door with a smile, but when she looked at the door, besides Jiang Li and the other two, Du Peng was also there. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Du Peng, aren't you attending the event? Why are you here too?"
Du Peng smiled and said, "I've already attended the event. I'm not interested in attending the rest of the social events, so I decided to come here with Jiang Li to avoid having to make two more trips."
"Okay, come in and talk."
Li Xia didn't think much about it. She asked the four people to come in, and then said to Jiang Li and the other two with a little excitement: "I want to tell you three a good news, I..."
"Sister Xia,"
Du Peng interrupted Li Xia and said, "Don't worry about the good news. I actually have something else I want to tell you."
"kindness??"
Li Xia frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
"Sister Xia, Jiang Li, Sun Chao, and Deng Fei are all sorry, so I'll just do it myself."
Du Peng said with a smile on his face: "People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. The four of us are ready to sign a contract with Dongyi Film and Television, so let's part ways in peace."
"What??"
Before Li Xia finished speaking, Zhou Xiaozhi stood up and said, "Du Peng, do you still have a conscience? We agreed to advance and retreat together."
"Just shut up. You're the biggest drag among the five of us."
Du Peng said directly to Zhou Xiaozhi: "Of course you want to advance and retreat together, but we want to go further, Dongyi Film and Television can give us what we want."
Li Xia didn't look at Du Peng again. She looked at Jiang Li and the other two: "Do you think so too?"
"Sister Xia, I'm sorry, we don't want to be looked down upon anymore."
Jiang Li lowered his head and said.
Sun Chao and Deng Fei said, "Sister Xia, if we have the chance in the future, we will repay you."
"Okay, I, Li Xia, don't want to block your path to wealth."
Li Xia suddenly laughed: "Dongyi Film and Television is indeed very good. If you can really be promoted by Dongyi Film and Television, then I will sincerely feel happy for you. How about this, the contracts of the four of you can be terminated, and everyone can part ways in peace. I don't need you to pay much, 500,000 per person, okay?"
Du Peng shook his head and said, "Sister Xia, we have been working together for so long. If we want to part ways amicably, then this money..."
"Du Peng, you were a newcomer who knew nothing at the beginning. Not to mention the big companies, even ordinary companies didn't want to sign you. It was me, Li Xia, who signed you and trained you step by step. For you, I drank until I vomited. For you, I blocked the director's room in the middle of the night..."
Li Xia suddenly became extremely ferocious and said, "You want to terminate the contract now? And you don't want to pay a penny? Why? Are you using Dongyi to pressure me? If I really ask for too much, it would be fine, but I only ask you for a penalty of 500,000 and you don't even want to pay it?"
Du Peng said, "Sister Xia, don't be angry, I really don't have the money, and..."
"I didn't ask you to pay for this. I asked Dongyi to pay. Dongyi poached four of my artists in one go. If they are not willing to pay you even the 500,000 yuan liquidated damages, do you believe they will focus on training you?"
Li Xia waved her hand and said, "You can think about it carefully and discuss it with Dongyi, or you can continue to drag it out. Anyway, Xiaozhi is the only one left for me. Du Peng, I will go wherever you go in the future. I will shout with a loudspeaker every day. Anyway, Dongyi will not let me live, so I will not let you have an easy time either."
These words really changed Du Peng's expression.
Because Li Xia can really do it.
"Sister Xia, don't be impulsive,"
Du Peng said hurriedly: "I'll go back and discuss it."
"Well, I told you, I'm not asking for this money from you, I'm asking for it from Dongyi. You're all smart people. If Dongyi can't even afford to spend 2 million, then you should think carefully about it."
Li Xia said lightly.
After Du Peng and the other three left, Li Xia sat on the bed as if exhausted.
"Sister Xia..."
Zhou Xiaozhi said anxiously: "Are you okay? Let's go to the hospital."
"It's okay, I'm just angry."
Li Xia took a deep breath and said bitterly, "I fell into the same trap again."
"Sister Xia, why are you letting them off so easily? According to the contract, make them pay compensation, even to death."
Zhou Xiaozhi said angrily: "This is too much. We agreed on this at the beginning, but in the end..."
Hearing Zhou Xiaozhi's naive words, Li Xia shook her head and smiled bitterly.
If compensation is really paid according to the contract, then let alone whether it will be compensated or not, Dongyi's powerful legal team can even exhaust Li Xia to death.
Having been in this industry for so long, Li Xia understands what reality is.
What about the fight to the death, the threat of thirty years of ups and downs, and the net breaking and the fish falling? All of that is nonsense.
For a small agent, a clash with an entertainment giant would be either a fight to the death or a fight between an egg and a rock.
The fish will surely die, but the net will never break.
Even the former Yili Chengyuan had to wait for several years to terminate the contract, not to mention Li Xia.
Adults will not do things without considering the consequences. Since Du Peng and the other three have decided to leave, it will be useless for Li Xia to play the favor card or the threat card at this time.
In this case, it is better to find a way to stop the loss as much as possible.
Li Xia decided instantly to give 500,000 yuan to each of the four people.
This number is not large and is affordable for Dongyi Film and Television. It can also serve as a way to stab a knife between Dongyi and the other three Du Pengs.
Dongyi has to take this money even if it doesn’t want to.
2 million is not a small amount for ordinary people, and they may not even earn it in their entire life. But for some artists in the entertainment industry, 2 million is just the money for participating in a variety show.
Frustrated.
anger.
remorse.
4 ungrateful people, why didn't I notice it earlier?
For Li Xia, she has fallen into the same trap three times. Every time, the artists she trained were poached by other companies.
Originally, she had narrowed down the artists to five people, but she miscalculated.
Li Xia underestimated human nature and even more so, underestimated interests.
Nothing in this world remains constant.
Du Peng and his four friends may have really wanted to stand together with Li Xia, but as they gradually became more famous and encountered more temptations in the entertainment industry, how could they still be willing to stand together with Li Xia? ?
"Sister Xia, Sister Xia..."
Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Li Xia in a daze and cried anxiously: "Think about your Dabao and Erbao. Don't get upset because of Du Peng and the others. It's not worth it."
Looking at Zhou Xiaozhi, Li Xia gently patted the back of her hand and laughed: "I, your sister Xia, have been out on the road since I was 16. I have seen all kinds of storms. Don't worry, it's okay. It's their loss that the four of them left me. I just feel a little regretful. Originally... OK, I won't say any more."
Li Xia wiped the tears from her eyes, then hurriedly called Yu Xiaoshu and said apologetically, "Teacher Yu, I'm really sorry. All the artists here have appointments, and I can't find a suitable one at the moment... Yes, yes, okay, I'm sorry again, don't worry, Xiaozhi, it's no problem."
After hanging up the phone, Li Xia looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and said, "Xiaozhi, now only the two of us can trust in fate."
At the same time, Bai Qian traveled through time.
Yu Xiaoshu didn't think much about it. Since Li Xia was no longer capable, Yu Xiaoshu thought it would be a good idea to let someone from Xiaoma Entertainment come.
This way you can kill two birds with one stone.
"Director Zhu, I'm Yu Xiaoshu. Do you have time now? Okay, see you later."
Yu Xiaoshu hung up the phone and left Baiqian Media.
Half an hour later, at Yipintang Teahouse.
"Teacher Yu, is it because of Han Rong?"
Judy came up and said directly: "Don't worry, Han Rong has nothing to do with our company. If he really offends you, you can deal with it as you should. We will never cover up for him."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Director Zhu, don't worry, it has nothing to do with Han Rong, take a look at this."
"kindness??"
Judy was stunned for a moment, and then he was even more surprised when he saw that what he handed over was actually a script: "Teacher Yu, what is this?"
"I've written a script and I've decided on the female lead. Do you think your company is interested in the male lead?"
Yu Xiaoshu explained with a smile.
Well.
Judy's expression was exactly the same as the others' when they found out that Yu Xiaoshu had written another script.
He looked at it quickly.
This script.
Judy thinks it's pretty good. The most important thing is that the script has educational significance and may even become a social topic for discussion.
In this regard, Judy has an artist who is really suitable for this.
"Teacher Yu, we want the leading male role, and we're willing to make a guest appearance."
Judy said to Yu Xiaoshu, "I just hope that this aspect can be emphasized during the promotion."
“Which actor??”
Yu Xiaoshu asked with a frown.
"Tang Tian, he hasn't filmed a movie for nearly a year due to some negative public opinion. Recently, we have been working on his comeback. This online drama is quite suitable now..."
Judy explained.
If Tang Tian had not gotten into trouble, given Tang Tian's popularity, he would never have lowered the price to take on this web drama.
But now.
Tang Tian is quite suitable to take on this web drama.
"no problem."
Yu Xiaoshu took out his cell phone to check some negative news about Tang Tian and then laughed.
As long as it is not a matter of principle.
Then it doesn't matter.
Just like that, the male and female protagonists of "Hard Candy" are ready.
As for Yu Xiaoshu, he received a call from Li Yang.
Yu Xiaoshu needs to review the materials prepared for the promotion of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
