Behind the scenes of the entertainment industry

"Baina Records and Maihe Music are already at loggerheads because of the inside story of the talent show. You must not express any opinions. We have to wait until the monthly competition is over before making any plans."

Zhou Cheng went to the coking plant early in the morning and gave Lin Shan a few more words about matters related to the "Avenue of Stars" monthly competition, and arranged for Fang Qianqian to keep an eye on Lin Shan.

At noon, Zhou Chengma ran back to Yanjing Film Academy without stopping. It is much more convenient now that he has a car. The Pioneer Accounting Firm he has been working with wanted to come over to reconcile the accounts, sign and stamp them. Last month, Zhou Cheng's company finally had

If you earn income, you also need to pay corporate income tax.

With two offices of less than 50 square meters, Chu Ran installed a 72 degree cabinet air conditioner to make the room temperature about ten degrees lower than outside.

Zhou Cheng stood in front of the air conditioner and blew away the heat from his body: "If you do this, will the school ask me to pay the electricity bill separately?"

Chu Ran made a reassuring gesture: "The school will not charge you so much for electricity. Look at the central air conditioner in the library. It consumes more electricity in a day than you do in a year."

Zhou Cheng also understood that his worries were unnecessary. The school rented these rooms to them for office use, with no hope of generating income, otherwise it would not have even installed water and electricity meters.

Zhou Cheng took out two bottles of pure water from the refrigerator and handed one to Qu Xiaoyan, the accountant who came to handle the business: "Sister Qu, give me the report and I will sign it for you."

Qu Xiaoyan took the water without opening it, thanked her and put it aside: "Mr. Zhou, your company needs to pay a total of 8,685 yuan in corporate income tax this month. According to the national cultural industry support plan, 15% of the corporate income tax can be reduced. Now it needs to pay 2,171 yuan

Yuan, this is a specific transaction report, you just need to sign it."

"I didn't expect that I am also a taxpayer. You commoners are just wasting our taxpayers' money." Zhou Cheng sneered at Chu Ran and others, and exchanged a few middle finger greetings.

Zhou Cheng ignored them, signed the report, and invited Qu Xiaoyan: "Sister Qu, are you interested in being a full-time accountant for our company? Our company may have a big project in the second half of this year. If you join, I can guarantee that

Your annual income will be 30% higher than what you have now."

The two have been working together for a year and are relatively familiar with each other, and the other party has never disliked Zhou Cheng's company because its business is too small. More importantly, Zhou Cheng can't find a suitable candidate.

"Can I think about it?" Qu Xiaoyan did not expect that Zhou Cheng would actually extend an olive branch to her.

The accounting firm she works for has only six people, and it is a small firm. It usually represents small and micro enterprises like Zhou Cheng and others. Although the income is not high, it is better than stable. And Zhou Cheng doesn't think so.

It's so unreliable, even though the office looks stylish, several employees inside are having fun.

"No problem at all." Zhou Cheng did not force it: "My cooperation with your firm will last until the end of this year. You still have time to consider it."

Qu Xiaoyan took the report signed by Zhou Cheng and left. Zhou Cheng looked at the other comfortable people.

Chu Ran was lying on the sofa, wondering if he had "worked overtime" again last night. Li Yan was reading the outline he had brought, and Tao Ze and Wu Xiaotian were playing World of Warcraft in tandem.

Ever since Zhou Cheng's company was established, this place has become a place where my brothers and I gather together.

"Zhou Cheng, why does the character outline of your script look so familiar to me?" Li Yan asked, holding the printed outline as Zhou Cheng finished handling the financial matters.

Li Yan returned to Yanjing from Hengdian. Zhou Cheng originally planned to let him rest for a few days, but Li Yan, who had not been able to help him, was very embarrassed and planned to start work directly.

"Let me take a look." After hearing Li Yan's words, Tao Ze and Wu Xiaotian, who were playing World of Warcraft online, immediately went offline and gathered around.

"Brother Cheng, let's be honest, is your prototype of Cheng Feng Chu Ran?" Li Yan handed the outline to the two of them.

"What? Based on me?" After hearing Li Yan's words, Chu Ran, who was lying on the sofa, also stood up in confusion.

"Cheng Feng, the son of the big boss of Dade Group, is a talented young man and a typical playboy. His biggest hobby is picking up girls. His parents divorced because of his father's affair, which left an indelible pain in Cheng Feng's heart..."

Wu Xiaotian took the character outline and read it out: "Master Chu, this is really similar to your experience,"

Zhou Cheng looked at Chu Ran's unnatural expression and hurriedly defended: "Xiaotian, don't talk nonsense. Cheng Feng is just a traditional rich second generation image, and his background is only slightly similar to Chu Ran."

This script was written by Zhou Cheng after he saw Tong Liya last time and remembered that she had starred in a TV series "Yanjing Love Story" in another world. Zhou Cheng wrote the character outline based on his original memory, and he really didn't consider Chu Ran.

At that time, he had not yet gone to Ningxi, and he had no idea that Chu Ran's parents had also divorced due to Chu's father's affair, otherwise he would have modified Cheng Feng's character.

"Xiaotian, Cheng Feng just borrowed my background. Our personalities are different. He later stole Shi Xiaomeng's childhood sweetheart's girlfriend. I can't do this kind of thing, Mr. Chu." Chu Ran was mainly concerned about the protagonist's parents in the script.

When Zhou Cheng explained the divorce, he realized that it was not something that happened in his family at all, but was the norm in today's society, and he was immediately relieved.

"Master Chu, I made a mistake. I drew on the background. This is a common technique used by our literary screenwriters." Wu Xiaotian looked at the expressions of the two people and knew that there might be another reason. As a friend, he could not touch other people's scars, so he turned

Continuing to talk about other characters: "The character Shi Xiaomeng should be based on Li Yan, but who should Wu Di be based on?"

Tao Ze, who had never interrupted, said confidently: "It's me. You see, I am a gentle, desireless, simple and kind boy who wants to hold hands with his lover and grow old together. Brother Cheng understands me."

"It's me. Let's not mention that Wu Di has the same surname as me. Look at his character traits: he can treat friends at both sides without any hesitation." Wu Xiaotian has a different point of view: "You are a southerner.

, I don’t understand the meaning of cutting corners at all.”

"Wu Xiaotian, you actually dare to attack us southerners, I will fight you..."

"A duel is a duel. I, a level 70 assassin, am still afraid of your weak spell..."

Zhou Cheng watched the two of them turn on the computer again to prepare for a duel. He couldn't help but shook his head, looked at Li Yan and said, "I'll leave this script to you to perfect."

"How many episodes are prepared for this script?" Li Yan asked.

"Thirty to forty episodes. There are too many characters. If the number of episodes is too few, the character's personality may not be fully developed." Zhou Cheng thought for a while and continued: "The three of you each write a male protagonist, and finally summarize it in

Together, it should be a good story."

"Okay, I'll take Shi Xiaomeng." Li Yan nodded. He was the only one from the countryside and could better grasp Shi Xiaomeng's character.

"Leave Cheng Feng to me, and leave Wu Di to Xiaotian. He and Wu Di have similar personalities." Tao Ze raised his hand to reply while operating the character.

"I just said that you are the prototype of Wu Di. Now I have chosen Cheng Feng. I think it is because Cheng Feng is the male protagonist." Wu Xiaotian revealed Tao Ze's idea while secretly hiding behind the mage controlled by Tao Ze.

One move was "backstab".

"It doesn't matter who writes it, you can allocate it yourself. But there is one thing you need to pay attention to." Zhou Cheng looked at several people looking over and said to them: "It is to spread positive energy as much as possible, abortion, and there should be no plots about miscarriage, even if

You have to give a reasonable explanation for cheating."

Wu Xiaotian said disdainfully: "Tsk, what did I think it was? You have already planned the name of the script "Yanjing Love Story", it must be about love. We will arrange a perfect love fairy tale for each character

."

"Aren't you the best at writing comedy stories?" Tao Ze exposed him mercilessly.

"Oh, you reminded me." Wu Xiaotian showed a wicked smile: "Don't you think that when a couple is deeply in love, the hero's father jumps out and tells them that you can't be together because you are brother and sister.

Isn’t this more comical?”

"I wish all lovers in the world were brothers and sisters. This is a good idea." Tao Ze echoed.

Zhou Cheng couldn't help but shook his head and said to Li Yan: "I'll leave these two immature guys to you. Chu Ran and I are going to Renyi this afternoon."

"Are actors going to be selected for the drama you are talking about?" Wu Xiaotian asked enviously.

"Well, we have an appointment to select actors this afternoon and tomorrow." Chu Ran said sternly: "Master Chu, I am the casting director."

"Tch. How many characters are there in your script?" Wu Xiaotian first said something unconvinced to Chu Ran, then looked at Zhou Cheng to please him and said: "Brother Cheng, when our TV series is ready to be approved, can you let me also do it?"

Help me choose the actors."

"I think you want to take advantage of the opportunity to undress actresses." Chu Ran directly exposed Wu Xiaotian's intentions.

"Don't you want to?" Wu Xiaotian asked unceremoniously. Then he and Chu Ran showed a mean smile.

"Why do I feel a little uneasy about handing over the project to you two?" Zhou Cheng shook his head helplessly, what a bunch of bad friends.

Coking Factory, Feng Chong’s recording studio.

"Lin Shan, your mood is wrong. The ending of this sentence should be one degree lower." When Lin Shan was auditioning again, Feng Chong pressed the call button on the recording console.

"Okay, I'll try again." Lin Shan agreed verbally, but he didn't make many changes when singing again.

Seeing that Lin Shan didn't change much, Feng Chong had no choice but to announce that recording would be suspended today.

"Brother Feng, I may be in a bad state today. I haven't had a good rest in the past two days." Lin Shan apologized slightly.

"Well, okay, go back and have a good rest." Feng Chong shook his head helplessly. It seems that Zhou Cheng's explanation to Lin Shan in the morning had no effect, and Lin Shan was still drifting.

Lin Shan left Feng Chong's studio, but took a sheet of music with him when he left. The title on it read "I Want You".
