Chapter 267: The winner is decided
Currently, Baiqian Media is filming an online movie "Leon: The Professional" and a TV series "All Is Well".
Now "The Bad Kids" has come to a temporary end, but "Go Go Squid!" has just begun. If nothing unexpected happens, "Go Go Squid!" should be able to set off a storm of "youth", so the sequel to "Go Go Squid!" will naturally start filming as soon as possible.
Anyway, several actors of "Go Go Squid!" signed contracts for two films at that time. For this reason, Yu Xiaoshu has been asking Jiang Bo and Xiao Xue to prepare for the second film these two days because he wants to catch up.
"Now the first episode of the script and the synopsis are out. I will send the outline to Xue'er. You two can discuss it. After the experience of the first part of "Together We Got Together", she can take on more responsibilities in this second part."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled at Jiang Bo and said, "I believe you."
"Thank you, Mr. Yu. Don't worry, we promise not to let you down. We..."
Jiang Bo wanted to express his determination, but was interrupted by Yu Xiaoshu: "Okay, stop talking about this and get to work."
"Okay, I'll go find Xiao Xue right away."
Jiang Bo said this and stood up.
After leaving the office and arriving at the office area, Jiang Bo said to Xiao Xue, "Teacher Xiao, take a look at this."
"This is……"
Xiao Xue took it and looked at it with a look of surprise on her face: "'Go Go Squid! 2'?"
"Yes, this is "Together We Got Together 2". Teacher Yu said that we should work together."
Jiang Bo repeated what Yu Xiaoshu had just said in the office.
Originally, Xiao Xue was ready to take the blame for "Go Go Squid!". After all, she was the second screenwriter besides Yu Xiaoshu, and if Xiao Xue really took the blame, she would not feel that there was anything wrong.
But no one expected that the ratings of "Go Go Squid!" would undergo a huge reversal. Those who had previously said it was a bad movie disappeared one by one. On the contrary, more people began to say that it was a qualified youth film.
How to say it? ?
Xiao Xue's mood was much different from Wang Tianfang and the other three. Originally, Xiao Xue took the initiative to jump from Huxing Film and Television to Baiqian Media. At that time, many people thought that Xiao Xue was crazy.
But Xiao Xue didn't care, because those people didn't understand what the "power of idols" meant.
That's exactly the case. After working at Baiqian Media for such a long time, Xiao Xue has not produced any work. At that time, some of Xiao Xue's friends also expressed their incomprehension.
After all, everyone felt that Xiao Xue was not much different in Baiqian Media, as the same work had not come out.
Not to mention the flood of bad reviews that "Go Go Squid!" received after its premiere.
To be honest, Xiao Xue was a little upset.
She even wondered if she was not suitable to be a screenwriter???
Well, the mentality of those who fail is the same.
Doubt life, doubt everything.
The result was an unexpected turn of events.
The initial word-of-mouth score of "Go Go Squid!" was 6.4 points, and it is almost breaking 7 points just now. Xiao Xue is already satisfied with such a result.
This simply overturned all the previous remarks that mocked Xiao Xue, believed that Xiao Xue made a wrong choice, believed that Xiao Xue made a mistake in joining Baiqian Media, and believed that Xiao Xue no longer had any chance.
Is it fun?
Of course it was very cool. Xiao Xue had a classmate group. Before the ratings of "Go Go Squid!" came out, the weird atmosphere in the classmate group was simply disgusting.
But as soon as the ratings of "Go Go Squid!" were released, the weird atmosphere disappeared instantly.
After all, the ratings of their works are not as good as "Go Go Squid!"
Then they went from being weird together to being praised.
Sometimes Xiao Xue also felt it was quite boring.
There are a total of 18 people in her screenwriting class. They are actually competitors in normal times. At the same time, they don't have any vested interests because some of them work in variety shows, some provide scripts for others, some go to TV stations, and some, like Xiao Xue, work as screenwriters in film and television companies.
It is competition. After all, everyone wants to be number one in this session, but there is no conflict of interest because everyone is in different companies and doing their own thing.
If that’s the case, why do we have to do this sometimes?
When they see that your grades are good, they will flatter you. When they see that your grades are not good, they will just want to mock you and make sarcastic remarks.
It's quite boring.
If there weren't some decent people in this group, Xiao Xue would have left the group long ago.
Moreover, Xiao Xue understood even more clearly that being a screenwriter mainly depends on the work. If there is no work for a long time, you will not be respected even if you are a platinum screenwriter.
What's more, for Xiao Xue, she is now on Yu Xiaoshu's side, and some people in this group hate Yu Xiaoshu, so Xiao Xue wants to let these people know: Teacher Yu can do whatever he wants.
Originally, Xiao Xue felt that she had let down Teacher Yu. After all, she was responsible for most of the plot details of "Go Go Squid!", but it ended up being a bad movie.
This is the reason why Xiao Xue has always felt uncomfortable.
But now.
Xiao Xue was full of fighting spirit. She said to Jiang Bo, "Then Director Jiang, let's work hard together."
"Well, let's work together. No matter what, we must not lose Teacher Yu's people."
Jiang Bo also said with high morale.
For the two of them, they are now on the same front.
In fact, this was done deliberately by Yu Xiaoshu. Now he pairs up the screenwriters and directors of Baiqian Media to create healthy competition.
Yes, there is progress only when there is competition.
It wasn’t possible to be like Liu Qianqian before.
crisis.
He must make these people feel a sense of crisis.
Only competition, healthy competition can make Baiqian Media better and better.
"Go Go Squid!" was given to Jiang Bo, and "The Long Night" (also known as "The Silent Truth") was given to Zhang Yi. In addition, there is "All Is Well" and "Léon: The Professional" which are currently being filmed.
In addition, the director and screenwriter groups will need to continue to expand their staff.
But Yu Xiaoshu’s principle of employing people is to rather have nothing than to hire the wrong person.
That's why he won't recruit people easily.
You have to know that nowadays Baiqian Media has become a hot commodity for many people in the industry. Screenwriters naturally want to learn from Yu Xiaoshu. In addition to screenwriters, there are also directors.
After all, most of Baiqian Media’s works are now directed by its own directors.
This way, everyone wants to join in.
But Yu Xiaoshu refused.
There is no other reason.
It’s very simple, because Yu Xiaoshu thinks now is not the time for Baiqian Media to expand.
There is no rush for this.
"Teacher Yu, you are looking for me."
Just at this moment He Wu knocked on the door and came in.
This time during the filming of "The Hidden Corner", He Wu's performance was quite good. The most important thing was that he was able to have a backup plan every time he spoke out about an emergency.
This one is pretty good.
After the filming of "The Bad Kids" was completed, He Wu went straight to coordinate "Go Go Squid!".
Precisely because of He Wu's timely cooperation, the filming of "Go Go Squid!" was completed quite smoothly.
"sit."
Yu Xiaoshu looked at He Wu and said with a smile: "There is something I need you to do."
"Teacher Yu, please give your orders."
He Wu spoke hurriedly at this time.
"Give me a list of all the female stars over 30 years old in the last few days. Not just actors, singers, hosts, but even screenwriters and directors. As long as they are over 30 years old, list them all for me. And make sure they are ranked in order. That is, list the top stars, first-tier stars, second-tier stars, third-tier stars, outdated stars, and retired stars. This is not a small amount of work, so I'll give you a month."
Yu Xiaoshu said to He Wu.
He Wu was stunned: "Teacher Yu, list them all?"
"Yes, list them all, and ask these people who has free time from October to December."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently: "As for the rest, there is no need to tell them."
"Okay, I understand."
He Wu nodded gently: "Then I will start doing it now."
"Well, go ahead."
Yu Xiaoshu said the same thing.
This is where He Wu's cleverness lies. He came to work for Baiqian Media, and besides Liu Qianqian, the biggest boss of Baiqian Media is Yu Xiaoshu.
To be precise, Yu Xiaoshu is older than Liu Qianqian.
Because Liu Qianqian also has to listen to Yu Xiaoshu's instructions.
For this, he didn't need to ask Yu Xiaoshu why he did it, he just needed to do it.
But I still need to communicate with Wang Bao.
"That's how it is."
He Wu said to Wang Bao: "I didn't ask Teacher Yu why he did this."
"Well, since Xiaoshu asked you to do it, then go ahead."
Wang Bao nodded gently and said, "You don't need to do other things for the time being. Just focus on this one thing for this month."
He Wu said: "Okay, I'll do it now."
After He Wu left, Wang Bao frowned slightly.
He really didn't understand what Yu Xiaoshu was doing.
After all, female artists are different from male artists. For male artists, 40 is their golden age, but for female artists, 40 is the time when they become out of fashion.
Look, some male artists are 50 years old and can still date 18-year-old female artists.
But what about female artists?
Some of them have already started playing the role of mothers at the age of 30.
Therefore, Wang Bao was indeed somewhat confused.
Because among the artists currently over 30 years old, a large proportion of them are indeed out of date. Some of these artists were even first-line artists before, but now they are out of date and there are no roles suitable for them to shoot.
So what does Yu Xiaoshu want to do? ? ?
Invite some artists over 30 years old to make a movie?
What is the most important thing to shoot???
No matter how he thought about it, Wang Bao still couldn't figure it out.
And since I can't figure it out, I might as well just stop thinking about it.
Anyway, for Wang Bao, since Yu Xiaoshu hasn't told him about this matter yet, it proves that it is not very important.
Next, let’s do a good job of promoting “Together With You”.
There has been a lot of discussion online about the addition of 7 episodes to the series "Go Go Squid!". MiLi Video has started a new round of promotions, and Baiqian Media has also started cooperating.
As for the new rounds of competition between "Super Friday" and "Here Comes the Big Shots", they have also begun.
On August 16, "Super Friday" and "Here Comes the Big Shots" once again faced off, and this time both shows invited guests from some classic TV series to reunite.
The difference is that "Super Friday" invited more people. They invited the classic TV series "The Long Road to Justice" from 2000 and "The Officials" from 2001.
In addition to the crews of these two TV series, "Super Friday" also invited some popular traffic actors, so that the gimmick of veteran actors VS traffic can be used.
Liang Zhi had a good idea in this regard, but he forgot one thing: "The Long Road to Redress" and "The Honourable Judge" were TV series produced 19 years ago, and the actors from that time don't actually interact with each other much nowadays.
For example, the drama "The Long Road to Redress" had only 10 episodes at the time, starring Yan Minglang, Dong Yan, Jiao Xian and others. The plot does not seem complicated now. It is mainly about Yan Minglang being framed, and there are both witnesses and evidence. As for Dong Yan who framed him, he escaped and returned after plastic surgery five years later. He was completely transformed into a different person and even stole Yan Minglang's girlfriend...
This drama was quite a sensation back then, mainly because Yan Minglang and Dong Yan were both popular young actors with handsome looks, one righteous and the other evil. As for Jiao Xian, she was the leading actress in every drama and a goddess-like figure.
But now 19 years have passed, and time is a butcher's knife. Yan Minglang has changed from a handsome and popular young actor to a middle-aged man with a potbellied body, and the same is true for Dong Yan. As for Jiao Xian, she also looks a little older.
These three people have not had many roles in recent years. Yan Minglang has stopped filming, Dong Yan has started to play guest supporting roles, and as for Jiao Xian, she can only play supporting roles likewise.
Moreover, Yan Minglang, Dong Yan and Jiao Xian had no contact during these 19 years, not to mention that the relationship between the three of them was not very good during the filming of "The Long Road to Injustice".
Because Yan Minglang and Dong Yan were competitors at the beginning, and Jiao Xian was emotionally entangled with both of them.
In short, it's a mess.
Later, Jiao Xian married a wealthy businessman, and Yan Minglang got married, divorced, and remarried to his agent, while Dong Yan was left alone, but he was constantly involved in scandals.
But it has been 19 years, and the three of them haven't been in touch since ten years ago, and the same is true for the others.
So when we reunited again, it was really awkward on stage. Some people didn’t even have their contact information.
How can you show deep emotions on stage without relying on acting skills?
Apart from that, "The Officials" is similar. Basically, the actors have no contact in private. It's like how good can the relationship between you and your colleagues be?
That's basically what actors are like.
Only the audience felt how touching the reunion was.
That's exactly the case. Many people are still unhappy with this episode of "Super Friday" because it is too deliberate.
On the contrary, "The Big Names Are Coming" is not like that. They invited a group that had been disbanded. This group was a popular group in the music scene in 2000, but later disbanded. Now they are reunited and they talked about many things that happened during the disbandment.
The difference is obvious.
At the same time, the winner has been decided.
