China Entertainment 1997

Cao Xuan and Xiao Taohong were on different planes. Cao Xuan and the others left first. Xiao Taohong waited for more than half an hour before reuniting with Xu Zheng on the plane.

"Who was it just now?"

Xu Zheng has just established a relationship with Xiao Tao Hong. During the period of love, he remains highly vigilant about any man who approaches his girlfriend.

Tao Hong saw his little thoughts and rolled her eyes at him: "Don't worry, it's Cao Xuan."

"That Cao Xuan who sang "Dusk"?"

"Um."

"Then I really can't rest assured."

Xu Zheng couldn't help but complain. Although he was bald, he could still be regarded as a handsome boy at this time. He was really not afraid of ordinary people, but Cao Xuan's appearance was obviously beyond his psychological safety range.

More importantly, Xiao Tao Hong is half a fan of Cao Xuan. A few days ago during the Chinese New Year, she was praising Cao Xuan for being so handsome during the Spring Festival Gala.

"Where did you think you were?"

Tao Hong couldn't help but pinch him: "I like him, but he may not like me yet. He knows a classmate of mine. We met and chatted for a few words."

"Boys and girls?"

Seeing Tao Hong's murderous gaze, Xu Zheng raised his hands in surrender and said with some regret.

"The King of Music, it's a pity that I couldn't chat, otherwise I could have asked for an autograph. My cousin likes Cao Xuan the most. She would be so happy to have an autograph."

"Then beg me."

Tao Hong took out a small book from her pocket, which contained several signed photos of Cao Xuan, which she had just requested from Cao Xuan.

In the past two years, as Cao Xuan's fame has grown, he has become a top figure in the music industry. No matter where he goes, people are asking for his autograph.

Therefore, Cao Xuan keeps dozens of photos and signature pens with him, so he can write whenever he wants.

During previous Spring Festival Gala rehearsals and performances, Cao Xuanguang sent out more than a hundred autographed photos backstage, not counting the signatures he signed on people's notebooks, clothes, and souvenir books.

Even many seniors came to him specifically. They didn't need it, so it would be a good thing to take it back to coax the juniors.

Some good people have made statistics. In the entire Spring Festival Gala backstage, Cao Xuan and Zhao Wei were the ones asking for autographs the most, and even King Li Tianwang was behind them.

Tao Hong is half a fan of Cao Xuan. Now that she has caught the real owner, she will not miss the opportunity and shamelessly asks for several copies.

Keep two for yourself, and after deducting the ones shared by your best friends and relatives and sisters, you can still squeeze out one for Xu Zheng to sell as a favor.

"Good guy, I asked for so much, it's enough for wholesale."

Xu Zheng was shocked. He only asked for one or two autographs. Tao Hong asked for a small pile in one go.

Tao Hong was confident: "Who knows when we will meet next time? If it were you, wouldn't you order more?"

Xu Zheng was convinced, and then he shyly wanted to go home to show off. The couple had a fuss for a while, and then Tao Hong got down to business.

"We really underestimated Zhou Yi. Even Cao Xuan knows about this company, and from what he said, he seems to be interested in cooperating with Zhou Yi."

"Then I'll have to take a good look at the script of this show."

Xu Zheng became more serious when he heard this. Although he has become popular now, he is only just popular. Tao Hong is better than him, but she is still a simple actor and has no contact with the behind-the-scenes production level for the time being.

The identity of the boss of Cao Xuan Film and Television is not well-known, but after all, his fame and status are here. Xu Zheng does not think that he will get more information than Cao Xuan.

If Zhou Yi can be valued by Cao Xuan, the popular king, and even intend to cooperate, there must be merit.

It may not be right to bet following the boss's choice, but the possibility of being wrong is definitely lower than making a blind choice on his own.

Xu Zheng, who was shrewd and shrewd like a Modu native, suddenly had his own plan.

………

On the other side, Cao Xuan didn't know that he had invisibly assisted Zhou Yi. He was considering how to contact Zhou Yi and reach cooperation.

In fact, this matter is not difficult. The entertainment industry is a circle after all. Although Zhou Yi mostly comes from a Taiwanese background, he also knows companies in the mainland. Fanxing can easily get on the line by finding a middleman.

The rest is simple. Zhou Yi is short of money, Fanxing is rich, and Cao Xuan is a big killer, so the chance of reaching cooperation is very high.

At least that's how it was in the early days.

After that, Zhouyi, who has the capital, will probably choose to produce independently, and Fanxing will focus more on his own homemade dramas.

Therefore, even if the two companies reach a cooperation, it will not take long. The key is that Cao Xuan can use this cooperation to get a few books from Zhou Yi.

If possible, Cao Xuan also wants to "invite" several screenwriters to develop Fanxing without offending Zhou Yi.

Zhouyi's Pumpkin Creation Center reminded Cao Xuan that Fanxing could also create a similar team of screenwriters, such as watermelons, bananas, peaches...

In fact, Cao Xuan has attached great importance to screenwriters before, and now he has been contacting Qian Yanqiu of "Journey to the West" and plans to sign him to Fanxing.

Qian Yanqiu was very excited, but he himself wanted to write and direct, and was more interested in directing, and would not just be a screenwriter.

Cao Xuan would not stop him. After all, Lao Qian was also a good director. It would be a waste to just be a screenwriter.

But because of this, it is necessary for Fanxing to form an elite team of screenwriters like Zhou Yi did.

To be honest, Cao Xuan has no shortage of ideas in his mind, but how to turn ideas into scripts requires the help of professional screenwriters.

It's okay for Cao Xuan to write an MV outline by himself, but if it's hundreds of thousands or even millions of words for movie or TV series scripts, including lines, storyboards, rhythm control, etc., this is not something that a layman like him can handle. , and he doesn’t have the time.

Music, filming, performances, business investments, Star Company affairs, and two girlfriends.

Cao Xuan is a human being, not a god. He is so busy now that he wants to learn how to be a shadow actor, so he has no time to write scripts.

Therefore, the best model is for him to outline the creative story, and the screenwriter will handle the specific details of the script. Cao Xuan controls the general direction of the creation and monitors the finished product.

Of course, Cao Xuan may be relatively deeply involved in some particularly important projects, but it should not be too much.

In addition to the screenwriters of Zhouyi, Cao Xuan was also thinking about the group of first-generation Internet writers who were scolding Fang Qiu under the banyan tree.

This group of people has produced many well-known screenwriters, Yu Baimei and Ning Caishen are the representatives. Even if they can't poach two of them, if they poach a few more inferior writers and have many people as directors, the difference will not be much different.

During the flight from the capital to Guangdong Province, Cao Xuan had been thinking about building a team of writers for Fanxing.

Many people in later generations have said that China does not lack good actors, but it lacks good screenwriters and good directors who can make stories written by good screenwriters.

Therefore, for a film and television production company, it is of great significance to have a team of screenwriters who can stably mass-produce high-quality scripts.

As long as this is done, Cao Xuan won't have to worry about other projects all over the world. Fanxing can completely produce and sell by himself.

After getting off the plane, Cao Xuan started to call Jiang Yue and asked her to try to contact Zhou Yi in the name of the company. It would be best to first obtain part of the investment rights in "Li Wei Becomes an Official".

This drama is written by Liu Heping, and most of the starring actors from "Yongzheng Dynasty" are cast. Zhou Yi's family will definitely not be able to bear it, and Fanxing has a chance to join the drama.

In addition, I am contacting the writers over there under the banyan tree to see if I can dig out a few with real material and save up a small-cost TV series to try out the water.

After arranging the two tasks and hanging up the phone, Cao Xuan felt a little financial pressure.

He has not made a penny from "Young Bao Qingtian" so far. The investment in "Journey to the West" will cost at least 5 million yuan. There is also the production of a new album, the specifications have been greatly improved, and the minimum cost starts at a million yuan.

The most important thing is to retain enough funds from Penguin. Whether it is used as continued financing or bridge loan, he is now Penguin's biggest supporter to survive the Internet winter.

Cao Xuan, who has not accepted any commercial roles or new endorsements for several months, currently only earns dividends from two albums and the salary from "The Swordsman".

If we don't get some blood back, we will almost lose all our money...

Cao Xuan, who was "worried", felt better until he saw Hu Jing happily waving to him on the set of "Young Man Bao Qingtian".

When they came to the front, Li Bingbing and Ren Quan rushed up first: "Congratulations to Cao Cao for being honored at the Spring Festival Gala. Come on, let us also be blessed."

"What's the meaning?"

Looking at the two hands stretched out in front of him, Cao Xuan looked confused and wondered what Li Bingbing was saying.

"You're pretending to be stupid, right? It's Chinese New Year, and you, the big boss, can't give us a red envelope."

"Send you a red envelope? I'm so poor that I'm almost broke. Brother Quan, didn't you say that your restaurant is good last time? Why don't you lend me 1.8 million for the turnover?"

"Pooh."

Ren Quan looked contemptuous: "One million eight hundred thousand, even if I sell my restaurant, it won't be worth that money."

After talking and joking, Cao Xuan also took out the red envelope he had prepared, but it was not shared by adults Li and Ren. It was specially given to Shi Xiaolong.

After all, people have been calling him Big Brother Bao after him for several months. How can he not give him lucky money during the Chinese New Year?

Hu Jing has also prepared a New Year's gift. He will give it to him privately later, and he can also get some small benefits...
