Chapter 298: Firing at Traffic
Ten minutes later, Yu Xiaoshu left Yipintang with mixed feelings.
There was no conversation along the way. Gong Xue, who was following behind him, was even more afraid to say a word when she saw Yu Xiaoshu like this. She didn't know who Yu Xiaoshu was meeting, so she became a little worried for a moment.
Could it be that Shi Xiangming has found someone again?
This is the halo effect.
In Gong Xue's heart, Shi Xiangming is actually a mountain. After all, Shi Xiangming is not only the prince of Dingsheng Film and Television, he is also a celebrity on the Internet. This is why Shi Xiangming threatened Gong Xue. After all, there is a mentality of admiring the strong on the Internet. Many times, if you have money, whatever you say is right.
Before, Shi Xiangqian was socially killed by several internet celebrities.
Human flesh search, a wave of slander, slut-shaming, and another wave of reporting and account blocking. In short, Shi Xiangqian is quite skilled in this game.
But Gong Xue is just an amateur after all. She does not rely on live broadcasts on the Internet to make a living. In addition, Shi Xiangming felt that he had met true love this time, so he did not use so many threats at the beginning.
After waiting for 2 months, Shi Xiangming thought that he could win Gong Xue with his sincerity, but Gong Xue was so disrespectful. Then Shi Xiangming started to show his cards and stopped pretending. Gong Xue was relieved by Yu Xiaoshu's words this morning, but who would have thought that she would follow Yu Xiaoshu to Yipin Tea House and look at Yu Xiaoshu's current state. How could she not panic? ?
If Yu Xiaoshu knew what Gong Xue was thinking, he would probably just shake his head and laugh.
Too much drama!
He didn't care about the so-called Shi Xiangming at all at the moment. He was thinking about what Su Dong had just said in Yipintang Teahouse.
So scary.
Originally, Yu Xiaoshu thought that Su Dong just came to him to discuss the so-called military drama and his "Soldiers Please Take Your Place". Then, based on the fact that he was his ex-girlfriend's father after all, Yu Xiaoshu also told Su Dong about it.
As for saying that you don’t understand military dramas?
This Su Dong really underestimated himself.
You should know that when Yu Xiaoshu was an agent on Earth, he selected several good military dramas for his artists. Another point is that Yu Xiaoshu has watched those classic military dramas on Earth no less than 20 times.
So, Yu Xiaoshu can’t say he knows a lot about military dramas, but he knows how to succeed.
It’s not that military dramas can’t include family or love, but if they are added for the sake of love and family, then it’s better not to have them at all.
Because it's not just military dramas, many dramas are held back by their bloody love lines.
Of course, Yu Xiaoshu was outspoken, but whether Su Dong listened or not was not within Yu Xiaoshu's consideration.
Besides, Yu Xiaoshu didn’t think Su Dong would be able to listen to him.
As a result, some later debates with Su Dong naturally fully proved that he did not agree with what Yu Xiaoshu said at all.
That's right.
Not recognized.
At the end, he even said: "You don't understand military dramas."
That's normal.
Put yourself in their shoes. No, there is no need to put yourself in their shoes. Look at those great directors on earth. They will not listen to other people's opinions even if their films fail.
A truth.
So Yu Xiaoshu was ready to leave immediately, but Su Dong’s next words made Yu Xiaoshu stunned.
"Look, does my daughter still have a chance?"
This sentence made Yu Xiaoshu really at a loss for words.
How to reply? ?
More importantly, Yu Xiaoshu was a little confused.
Because when Yu Xiaoshu and Su Dong's daughter were dating, Su Dong did not agree at all, and even said: "You, Yu Xiaoshu, are not worthy of my daughter. As long as I am alive, you can't marry my daughter."
Of course, Yu Xiaoshu did not marry Su Dong's daughter, because later he broke up with Su Dong's daughter and he started dating someone else.
But what's going on? ?
You have to know that Yu Xiaoshu has been divorced for almost a year, plus the three years he was married to Ding Xiaoman before that, not to mention their later relationship, MMP, he hasn't seen Su Dong's daughter for almost five years.
Five years.
Not only have we not seen each other for five years, we have not even had any contact in the past five years.
Then suddenly he came up to me and said, "Look, does my daughter still have a chance?"
Did Su Dong get kicked in the head by a donkey?
Yu Xiaoshu assured that when he heard this sentence, his first reaction was not "Do you want to climb the mountain?" On the contrary, he just thought that Su Dong must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.
kindness.
Or maybe Su Dong bumped into a pig.
Otherwise, how could you say such a thing?
Yu Xiaoshu did not answer "Is there a chance?", because Su Dong might have regretted saying this. He simply waved his hand and said, "It was just a joke. Go away."
Yu Xiaoshu really wanted to say: "Director Su, do you want to go for a physical examination?"
But Yu Xiaoshu still held it back.
Stop making trouble.
We should still respect the elderly and love the young.
"But why did Su Dong say that?"
Yu Xiaoshu still couldn’t figure it out.
On the other hand, at the Yippin Teahouse, Su Dong felt that he was indeed a bit abrupt. After all, he knew his daughter's temper, and he should have talked to his daughter first before asking.
Thinking of this, Su Dong called his daughter: "I have met Yu Xiaoshu. Yu Xiaoshu is indeed mature now. If you really can't let go of Yu Xiaoshu, then how about I go and talk to him? You two try to talk again?"
As a result, Su Dong's daughter said on the other end of the phone: "Dad, if you are fine, go to bed early, and hang up."
"Hello? Hello??"
Su Dong was speechless. He didn't expect his daughter to hang up the phone just like that.
It's only noon now, why is he sleeping? ?
never mind.
Su Dong decided not to think about this matter for the time being.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings.
What he needs now is to make another film as soon as possible and prove himself.
After all, Su Dong is also a very proud director. He feels ashamed from the bottom of his heart that "Soldiers Please Take Your Place" failed so badly this time.
Whatever.
In the next drama, Su Dong must not lose again.
…
Baiqian Media.
"Teacher Yu, you are back."
Li Yang is waiting for Yu Xiaoshu.
Yu Xiaoshu frowned slightly: "Why are you waiting for me instead of preparing a celebration banquet?"
"Everything is ready for the celebration banquet, and most of the actors are here now."
Li Yang said hurriedly.
Yu Xiaoshu was puzzled: "Then what's the problem?"
"It's like this. This time the celebration banquet will be broadcast live on MiLi Video, and MiLi Video hopes that you will also be present."
Li Yang said: "You said you were going before, but now I can't contact you anymore, so..."
All right.
Li Yang really couldn't contact Yu Xiaoshu just now.
After all, Yu Xiaoshu's phone was on silent in Yipin Teahouse, and after coming out of Yipin Teahouse, Yu Xiaoshu didn't look at his phone the whole time because he was thinking about this matter.
He was wondering what Su Dong was doing?
As for Li Yang, he did talk to Wang Bao and Liu Qianqian about this matter, and the two of them had almost the same opinion: "Since we can't get in touch with Teacher Yu, then he must have other things to do. You should wait in the company for a while."
Good job.
With this answer, what else do you think Li Yang can do?
He originally wanted to give Gong Xue a call.
The result... is just like this.
"Okay, if I say I'm going to the celebration party, then I'm definitely going to attend it. There's no need for you to wait for me here. Besides, won't you send me a message if anything happens?"
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand and said, "Go to the venue of MiLi Video now, and make sure to arrange the order of today's celebration banquet. At the same time, the focus of this celebration banquet must be on the actors. After the celebration banquet is over, the press release will promote our upcoming variety show..."
"good."
Li Yang nodded slightly at this time.
There is nothing more to say about the company’s upcoming variety show because it has officially started.
So the company is now cooperating with Yu Xiaoshu.
After Li Yang left, Yu Xiaoshu called Zhang Cheng to the office.
"Have you finished reading the script?"
Yu Xiaoshu asked Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng hurriedly said, "I've finished reading it."
Yu Xiaoshu asked, "What do you think? You must tell me your first thought. You know me. I hate to hear polite words and clichés the most."
"Teacher Yu, do I think this script is a bit risky?"
Zhang Cheng also expressed his thoughts at this time.
Yu Xiaoshu laughed: "Oh? Tell me how to take risks."
"Teacher Yu, if we follow the routine of this variety show, then basically the artists we can invite are outdated artists, 30, 40, 50 years old. Some first-line artists will definitely not come to participate in the variety show, but what kind of topic will some outdated artists bring if they come?"
Zhang Cheng sighed and said, "Female artists basically go downhill after they turn 40. There are even a lot of female artists who are 40 years old who have no movies to shoot. This is different from male artists. How about we invite some male artists to do variety shows? After all, it is normal for male artists to do variety shows now."
At present, Yuanxing and Earth are similar in this respect. Male artists are actually better at variety shows, and most of them don’t even shoot dramas anymore. They just want to be variety show stars.
How to say it? ?
Doing variety shows is much easier than filming a drama, and the pay is also higher. The daily salary is not as exaggerated as several million, but some episodes can cost at least one million.
Some even more.
"What else?"
Yu Xiaoshu didn't say anything else. He asked Zhang Cheng to continue.
After all, "Sisters Who Make Waves" is currently in the preparation stage, and he plans to follow one or two episodes. Also, the core of this drama must not be lost.
That is, we must never go for traffic-based business.
Looking at this variety show in its original time and space, it was originally thought to become a phenomenal variety show, but it ended up gradually becoming a traffic-oriented show. Let’s see how many people are still paying attention to the second season?
Therefore, Yu Xiaoshu wants to be the number one star in "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves".
That is to break the labeling of traffic.
Now people say that Yuanxing’s traffic is dead, but in fact, traffic still accounts for the majority. Whether it is film and television dramas or variety shows, they basically all rely on traffic.
Look at the show "Sisters Stand Up" on Star City TV, isn't it made based on traffic? They invite new generation traffic stars, and at the very least it is still a very popular topic.
But what about "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves"? ?
Yu Xiaoshu had already sent someone to negotiate, but there was no specific standard for who to invite yet.
There's no rush.
Who will be invited will depend on the subsequent script.
"Zhang Cheng, what you said is all right, but if we do what you said, then what is the difference between this variety show and other variety shows?"
Yu Xiaoshu said with a chuckle.
Zhang Cheng: "This..."
"It's great that you can think of these things. Let me tell you that women actually occupy a part of the market for this variety show. So on the one hand, the variety show we want to make respects women, but on the other hand, men don't actually like those all-net celebrities. Some male audiences like mature women and attractive women. These are also our target groups."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Zhang Cheng, "Now because of the explosion of traffic, many female artists basically have no chance. They don't have the chance to choose a role, or even other opportunities. So what we need to do is to give these female artists who have already passed their prime and are already on the edge of the entertainment industry a chance. At the same time, we also need to prove to other investors that female artists still have a market after they are over 30, 40, 50, or even 60."
Although Zhang Cheng didn't quite understand what was being said, he understood one thing.
That means Yu Xiaoshu is preparing to fire at the traffic.
This is a variety show that is not about traffic, it is just like the previous TV series.
But then I think about what Yu Xiaoshu said before, that is, he does not rule out the participation of popular artists.
So it seems that this variety show is more difficult.
No traffic means no topic.
Zhang Cheng then talked about his worries, and Yu Xiaoshu laughed: "What kind of topic are those popular artists? They are just fan circles. In some people's eyes, it's actually quite ridiculous, so there is no need to care about them. Moreover, although these female artists are out of fashion, their market is still huge, so you have to pay more attention to them next time."
Zhang Cheng nodded gently: "Teacher Yu, I understand."
After Zhang Cheng left, Yu Xiaoshu called Gong Xue up and said, "Call Gu Tianqi and ask her to wait for me at the celebration banquet. We will be there in half an hour."
Gong Xue said quickly: "Okay."
There is basically nothing going on at Baiqian Media.
Yu Xiaoshu talked to Wang Bao again, saying that he was going to the celebration banquet. Wang Bao hurriedly said, "Go ahead. Li Yang was really anxious just now, and MiLi Video has urged us several times."
"Well, Uncle Wang, we will start the publicity in full swing next."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Wang Bao.
Wang Bao nodded gently: "Xiao Shu, don't worry, I won't let you down this time."
kindness.
Wang Bao has also learned to be smart.
It's just a variety show.
If you lose, you lose.
