Chapter 304 The second vest can be arranged
Think about it, on Earth, "Soldier Assault" was not well-received as a military-themed film at the time. Even the producer Huayi felt that it was not a good film during filming.
After all, at the beginning, Chen Rong in this play was not very powerful, and he didn't have any major role to play.
Later, the first broadcast was indeed not very good. The show premiered on December 26, 2006, but it didn't even make any waves. The response was mediocre, and even the main creators felt that this was probably the end of the show.
But no one would have expected that after 2007, "Soldier Assault" would first become popular on the Internet, and then would be broadcasted by other TV stations step by step.
For this reason, Yu Xiaoshu understood that it was normal that people were not optimistic about this drama, which was why he did not tell Su Qing too much at the beginning.
After all, there are too many conditions, and in the end Su Dong doesn't want to shoot, isn't that a waste of feelings?
"So what are you going to do next?"
Su Qing asked Yu Xiaoshu.
Yu Xiaoshu laughed and said, "Since Director Su doesn't want it, then Baiqian Media will prepare to produce it independently."
"Okay, I believe this show will not fail like my dad said."
Su Qing said to Yu Xiaoshu: "I believe you."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Thank you for trusting me so much. Don't worry, I won't let you down. By the way, how is your short essay going?"
“The essay solicitation has been sent out, but the results are not very good.”
Su Qing shook his head slightly and said at this time.
"Oh? How do you mean?"
Yu Xiaoshu asked.
Su Qing waved his hand and said, "It's just that someone got in on the act. This is actually similar to the entertainment industry..."
After listening to Su Qing's words, Yu Xiaoshu suddenly understood.
Not surprising.
The Fengyang Magazine where Su Qing works in the capital can only be regarded as a small magazine. It is very different from Dingsheng Culture, which has a variety of long and short stories. How to put it? To give an inappropriate example, it is like the difference between the first and the Nth place.
So, when Su Qing's 'Feng Yang Magazine' and 'Dingsheng Culture's' Favorite Short Stories' magazine simultaneously issued calls for submissions, everyone would naturally choose 'Favorite Short Stories' first.
After all, the sales of 'Favorite Short Stories' magazine are still quite good.
As for the sales of 'Feng Yang Magazine', it is on the verge of bankruptcy.
Originally, Su Qing wanted to use this essay contest to save the sales of Feng Yang Magazine. After all, the prize money for this essay contest was quite generous, with the first prize being 30,000 yuan.
But who would have expected that the prize for the 'Favorite Short Story' would be NT$100,000 for the first place.
You said that on one side is a small magazine with poor sales and little bonus, while on the other side is a large magazine with good sales and, more importantly, more bonus.
Anyone would choose "Favorite Short Story" if they were to choose with their eyes closed.
So, Su Qing is not in a hurry now.
There was no point in being anxious, so she could only hope that "Favorite Short Stories" could be a little saturated, and then "Favorite Short Stories" could eat the meat and they, "Feng Yang Magazine", could drink the soup.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. You won't understand even if I tell you. I have to go back to work on my submission, so I'll leave now."
Su Qing said this and stood up and left.
After all, she will be very busy as she needs the manuscript next time.
On the other side, Yu Xiaoshu returned to Baiqian Media and then came to Wang Bao's office.
"Xiaoshu, I was just about to look for you."
Wang Bao said with a smile: "Zhang Xiaohe will start work in the next few days. Do you want to have a chat with him first?"
"That's fine. Ask him to come to the company this afternoon and I'll talk to him."
Yu Xiaoshu thought for a moment and said, “It just so happens that Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves is about to be launched.”
"Okay, no problem."
Wang Bao nodded gently, and then asked: "By the way, Xiaoshu, what do you want to do by coming to see me?"
"Take a look at this script."
Yu Xiaoshu said as he handed the script to Wang Bao.
"kindness??"
Wang Bao took the script and was a little surprised: "You wrote it again so quickly?"
"What a coincidence. Take a look first, and then we can talk."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile.
"good."
Wang Bao started to read as he spoke.
"Soldier Assault"!
Wang Bao frowned at the name, and then he was even more confused after reading the synopsis.
Military drama.
Are you kidding me?
Yu Xiaoshu actually wrote a military drama? ?
Even the military drama directed by Su Dong flopped, so why is Baiqian Media joining in the fun at this time? ?
Although he was a little confused, Wang Bao still read the script first.
After watching three episodes, Wang Bao feels that the script seems to be pretty good at the moment, especially the character of Xu Sanduo, which seems to be a character that is suppressed first and then rises to prominence, which can be considered a way of making the show a refreshing experience.
Moreover, each character in the script has a distinct personality.
Overall it is qualified.
In this case, Wang Bao was relieved, but he still advised: "Xiao Shu, I think it's a little early to make a military drama now? After all, our Baiqian Media's first TV series "All Is Well" has just been a great success. Shouldn't we take advantage of this opportunity to shoot an urban drama? After all, even the military drama directed by Su Dong failed."
"It doesn't matter. Actually, this script was originally written for Su Dong, but Su Dong didn't want it. He thought this script was not good."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "In that case, let's just shoot it ourselves."
"What? It was written to Su Dong? And Su Dong didn't want it?"
Wang Bao said in a lost voice.
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently: "Yes, because Su Dong felt that this drama had no heroine. Not only did it not have a heroine, it didn't even have any female characters. That's why he felt that such a military drama would definitely fail, so he naturally didn't want it."
Upon hearing this, Wang Bao didn't know what to say.
Is this a joke??
Forget about military dramas, even other dramas, if there are no female characters, then can this drama still be considered a qualified drama? ?
But seeing how confident Yu Xiaoshu was, Wang Bao didn't know what to say.
Because he remembered what Liu Qianqian had said to him before, which was why he always didn't believe Yu Xiaoshu.
Think about the success created by "All Is Well".
In this case, are the other things not so important?
Even if you fail, you must believe in Yu Xiaoshu.
Yes.
Thinking of this, Wang Bao swallowed all his previous words. He took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Shu, I think your idea is right. What impact will it have if Su Dong fails? There must be something wrong with his vision. We just need to make this drama well. I believe you can do it. Tell me, how can the company cooperate?"
Yu Xiaoshu: “???”
Now it was Yu Xiaoshu's turn to be surprised. Originally, he thought that Wang Bao might not trust him, and he felt that he had to explain it carefully, and maybe he might even have to do it forcefully.
After all, Wang Bao basically doesn't trust Yu Xiaoshu no matter what he does.
He is used to it.
Where did you expect the result? ?
Wow, Wang Bao actually supports me so much this time.
Yu Xiaoshu asked Wang Bao: "Uncle Wang, are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious, Xiaoshu. No matter what you do, Uncle Wang will support you. You just need to tell him how to cooperate with you."
Wang Bao said without hesitation, and then he reflected secretly in his heart to see if he had made Xiaoshu lose his trust.
This won't work.
I must find a way to make Yu Xiaoshu gradually trust me again.
have to.
The more he thought about it, the more seriously Wang Bao spoke.
Basically, no matter what you, Yu Xiaoshu, do, I will cooperate.
Good job.
Ask Yu Xiaoshu if he is touched?
I really can’t say.
However, Yu Xiaoshu was no longer polite to refuse. Anyway, as long as Wang Bao was willing to cooperate, there would be no problem, so he said directly: "Okay, in this case, then Uncle Wang, you have to find another director as soon as possible. Recommend a director who has filmed military dramas and understands military dramas. Chen Fang is definitely not suitable because he doesn't understand the army. We also need a consultant to avoid some loopholes in the details during the filming."
"Yes, I know."
Wang Bao nodded gently and said, "I'll contact them in the next two days to see which director is suitable. I'll give you a few to choose from."
"Okay, there's nothing else to do. I'll go back to the office first."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded slightly and said.
"Well, let's go back."
Wang Bao waved his hand and said.
Just like that, Yu Xiaoshu returned to the office first, and Wang Bao began to select people.
He has actually met several directors of military dramas recently.
Now it depends on who has time.
Anyway, Wang Bao will use whichever one has time.
The other side.
Yu Xiaoshu returned to the office, and he did not continue writing "Soldier Assault" or "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves", nor did he think about the next work.
On the contrary, Yu Xiaoshu opened the webpage and took a look at the website of Fengyang Magazine. There was indeed something about "Call for Essays" on the homepage.
At the same time, there is a submission section below this essay contest.
This submission is basically not announced to the public, but the number of submissions is displayed.
150 points.
Obviously, the number of submissions is not low.
Then Yu Xiaoshu took a look at the submissions for "Favorite Short Stories".
kindness.
3000.
You can't tell the difference unless you compare them, but once you do, you'll be really shocked.
It is indeed hurtful when there is comparison.
Yu Xiaoshu originally thought that it was quite good that Feng Yang Magazine had 150 points of manuscripts in just one day, but who would have thought? ?
The number of my "favorite short stories" has actually reached 3,000.
Because Yu Xiaoshu couldn't see these manuscripts, he naturally didn't know who was the winner and who was the loser.
"Teacher Yu, there is a man named Zhang Xiaohe outside who wants to see you. He said he has an appointment with you."
Just at this moment, Gong Xue knocked on the door and came in and said.
"Huh? You came so quickly?"
Yu Xiaoshu was a little surprised.
But what he didn't know was that Zhang Xiaohe had actually reported to Baiqian Media in the afternoon and had been waiting for Yu Xiaoshu.
So, after receiving Wang Bao's call, Zhang Xiaohe hurried to see Yu Xiaoshu.
To be honest, Zhang Xiaohe was also panicked.
After all, he has a conflict with Star City TV, and other TV stations basically don’t want to use him. Now Zhang Xiaohe actually just lacks an opportunity.
Although Baiqian Media does not have any variety shows, Zhang Xiaohe knows Yu Xiaoshu’s talent, and Baiqian Media will also be producing variety shows next.
Zhang Xiaohe had inquired about it before coming.
Basically, Baiqian Media lacks directors, let alone variety show directors.
So if he comes in, he will definitely be the director of the variety show.
But Wang Bao made it very clear that whether or not to use Zhang Xiaohe depends on Yu Xiaoshu's mood.
If Yu Xiaoshu thinks it's okay, then no problem.
But if Yu Xiaoshu thinks it's not possible, then Zhang Xiaohe will probably have to wait a little longer.
So, of course Zhang Xiaohe was nervous and anxious.
"Teacher Yu..."
Arriving at Yu Xiaoshu's office, Zhang Xiaohe looked at Yu Xiaoshu and said nervously.
It was obvious that Zhang Xiaohe was not very old. Of course, Yu Xiaoshu felt that only someone of this age would dare to conflict with Xingcheng TV.
After all, when you are old, tortured by the pressure of life, and need money in every aspect, how can you be hard? ?
Why do young people dare to quit their jobs and lie down at any time? It's actually the same reason.
"Take a look at this script first."
Yu Xiaoshu didn't say hello, he directly handed the script of "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves" to Zhang Xiaohe.
"good."
Zhang Xiaohe hurriedly read the script.
He reads very quickly.
Zhang Xiaohe had heard of the script of "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves" before, but he didn't know what Yu Xiaoshu thought specifically. After all, Zhang Xiaohe also knew something about Star City TV's "Sisters Stand Up", and he had been responsible for some of it at Star City TV.
That's exactly the case. At the beginning, Zhang Xiaohe also wondered if Yu Xiaoshu was really planning to plagiarize and follow the trend?
Now it seems that, just as reported, Yu Xiaoshu is taking a completely different path.
Can.
very good.
Zhang Xiaohe feels that this is the right attitude for doing variety shows.
For half an hour, Zhang Xiaohe read the script carefully. He even felt that this was a big test for him. He had to be very cautious and make sure to leave a good impression on Yu Xiaoshu, and then learn from it.
In short, Zhang Xiaohe was ready for everything.
"Have you finished reading it?"
Yu Xiaoshu looked up and asked.
Zhang Xiaohe said, "I've finished reading it."
This means that Mr. Yu can ask whatever he wants, but he didn't expect Yu Xiaoshu to just say, "Can I take a picture?"
"ah??"
Zhang Xiaohe was stunned.
Yu Xiaoshu frowned: "I asked you if I could take a photo?"
“Yes.”
Zhang Xiaohe reacted and said hurriedly.
"Okay, take the script away, and then go to the screenwriting department and talk to Zhang Cheng again. I will have a small meeting with you later. We need to have a meeting to arrange the specific division of labor."
Yu Xiaoshu lowered his head again after he finished speaking.
For him, he was going to write a short story.
After all, he thought the second vest could be arranged.
But Zhang Xiaohe was shocked: That's it? ?
