Entertainment Empire

The film viewing was held at a TV station in Yanjing.

When Xiao Li arrived, many people had already come to the scene, but what was funny was that most of these people were relatively young, and they were probably the same as Xiao Li, and were sent by their leaders to deal with Luo Xun. If they really came to the film viewing with sincerity, the film purchasing department would at least send older backbones to come, or the boss of the film purchasing department would come in person.

"There are quite a few people."

Xu Dong looked at the people shuttling around the scene and curled his lips slightly. He was the head of the production company of "Wulin Wai Zhuan". During the early filming of this drama, he persuaded Luo Xun and Xia Yu more than once to edit a few episodes and send them to the TV station to see if they could sell them for a good price, but Luo Xun refused to agree and insisted on contacting major TV stations after the filming was completed.

"Hehe."

The secretary beside Xu Dong smiled helplessly and said, "The people who came are too young. Most of them are probably small roles in the film purchasing department of the TV station. They were sent here for face."

"Young."

Xu Dong shrugged.

If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer. In the field of low-cost TV series, he has used a similar business model for many years. It has always been the most reliable plan. But Luo Xun has a mysterious self-confidence, as if he is very confident in "Wulin Wai Zhuan".

Please.

The cost of 10 million yuan was used to shoot more than 80 episodes. The quality can be imagined. The TV station is not stupid. Why should they pay for your unreliable small production...

At this time.

There was a commotion at the door.

It was Luo Xun who came.

It was in line with the style of a big star, with many people following him. When he arrived at the scene surrounded by bodyguards and assistants, Luo Xun stepped forward and shook hands with Xu Dong and asked, "Are you almost ready?"

"Yes."

Xu Dong nodded. Although he was not optimistic about the situation, Luo Xun was a big star after all, and was a good friend of Xia Yu, one of the four most beautiful actresses. Xu Dong must do a good job to save face. One thing he had to admit was that so many people came to the scene for a TV series that seemed unreliable, which fully demonstrated that Luo Xun and Xia Yu had a lot of face in the circle.

He glanced around.

Luo Xun didn't see any familiar faces.

It seemed that the heads of major TV stations were not optimistic about "Wulin Wai Zhuan", so they sent a bunch of minions to fool him. He was clear in his heart.

"Tsk."

Xiao Tao, who came here with him, murmured a few words softly, and obviously guessed the attitude of the major TV stations, but Luo Xun did not show any disappointment. Instead, he said thoughtfully: "Young people should be more receptive to "Wulin Wai Zhuan". This may not be a bad thing. I just hope they can have more courage and vision."

"Really?"

Xiao Tao blinked.

She has been with Luo Xun for many years. She doesn't think Luo Xun is trying to save face. Maybe letting young people make judgments will be more beneficial to watching the movie today?

She has more confidence.

At this moment, many people at the scene are talking to each other. After all, they are in the same circle, and it is not impossible for them to know each other. Some people noticed Luo Xun, but no one took the initiative to talk to him. First, their status in the TV station is not high, and second, their behavior also represents the attitude of major TV stations towards "Wulin Wai Zhuan".

"Xiao Liu, you're here too."

"Yeah, it's just a formality."

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Li from Su Province?"

"See you again, how are you doing these days?"

"Hey, we can't compare to your provincial TV stations, which have more funding and a bigger background. Our small local stations are no different from government offices."

"..."

Everyone was chatting.

Xiao Li also observed the representatives of the major TV stations and found that in addition to the Su Province Satellite TV he represented, other provincial TV stations such as Hunan TV, Blueberry TV, etc. also sent people here, and even the big brother CCTV sent people here. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Luo Xun and Xia Yu really had a lot of face.

Probably only the big face was left.

Xiao Li was complaining in his heart, and at this time he heard Xu Dong's call, saying that "Wulin Wai Zhuan" was about to hold a formal screening, inviting representatives from all parties to enter the screening hall, and immediately a group of people went to the TV station's screening hall.

The seats were all arranged in advance.

For example, CCTV must sit in the front row, and the major provincial satellite TV stations are also quite impressive. As for the representatives of some local stations, they are arranged in the back. This is also the old practice of the film viewing meeting, and no one has any complaints.

Luo Xun sat in the last row.

He has watched the finished TV series many times. There is not much difference between the two versions of this life and the previous life. So instead of sitting in the front to communicate with the representatives of major TV stations, it is better to sit in the back and be quiet, and by the way, you can also observe the general reaction of the audience.

"Everyone."

Xu Dong walked onto the stage, beeped, and said with a smile: "Our film viewing meeting will start soon. Because everyone has limited time, we will watch a few episodes as usual to test the quality. I hope everyone will like it. Our staff has spent a lot of energy to shoot this drama..."

You have to do your job well.

Although he knew that the production level of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" was not high and the scene matching could be described as simple, but the butt determines the head, and he still has to say more good things about this drama, even though no one will listen to these words no matter how much.

Cross your legs.

Xiao Li, who was sitting in the front row, thought to himself that after sitting there for two or three hours in a boring way, it would be great if there were melon seeds or something. At least he wouldn’t have nothing to do.

He even wants to play with his phone.

However, I represent Jiangsu Province Satellite TV. If he lowers his head and plays with his mobile phone on this occasion, Luo Xun will be seriously offended, and he can only force himself to watch casually out of boredom.

The screen lights up.

The opening song is quite interesting: "Hi, brother, we haven't seen you for a long time. Hi, friend, if it's really you, please say hello..."

When the opening song plays.

The actors in the crew also appeared one by one, and they were basically all new faces. Maybe these people had some works before, but they were as unknown as newcomers.

Xiao Li was not disappointed.

Because he had no hope at all.

After the opening song ended, the title of the first episode slowly emerged: "Nvxia Guo angrily smashed the lucky points, and shopkeeper Tong made wonderful points to get lost."

The main film begins.

The signboard of "Tongfu Inn" appeared on the screen, and then there was a burst of noise in the house, and a voice mixed with dialects sounded:

"Old Xing!"

The door opened, and the character known as Lao Xing appeared. Xiao Li was stunned for a moment. It turned out that not all the faces in "Wulin Gaiden" were new. The actor who played Lao Xing seemed to have acted in "The Story of the Cooking Class" before, and he was a regular character. A veteran actor with excellent acting skills.

Fallen!

Why did you take this show?

Xiao Li shook his head. Many actors in the industry are like this. They even give up the good reputation they have accumulated for the sake of salary. The actor Fan Ming who plays Lao Xing in front of him is an example.

Not only Xiao Li.

Some other representatives around him also expressed similar emotions. Apparently, they all felt that Fan Ming would take this film solely for the sake of salary. For some actors with good acting skills, it is normal to make some bad movies for the sake of money.

…

After sighing in his heart, Xiao Li took another look at the level of Fu Hua Dao and frowned again. Although he had already guessed that the Fu Hua Dao in this drama must be very crude, looking at the scene in the first episode, he felt It’s still a bit hard to bear to look at.

Is this arrangement too simple?

Shaking his head, Xiao Li continued to watch, for no other reason than to see how bad this TV series could be. This was probably the only fun he had today.

Keep a calm mind.

Instead, he could see in.

The plot revolves around the Tongfu Inn. The characters' personalities are outlined through dialogue between the characters. The widow Tong Xiangyu who speaks with an accent, the proprietress's bratty sister-in-law Mo Xiaobei, the waiter Bai Zhantang who likes to brag but is as timid as a mouse, The chubby cook Li Dazui, the sour scholar Lu Qinghou who is always making comments, and the Seven Heroes town head catcher Lao Xing played by Fan Ming...

There is a martial arts atmosphere.

For example, the character names are very telling. For example, isn't the shopkeeper Tong Xiangyu the same as the coquettish proprietress Jin Xiangyu in the classic martial arts work "Dragon Gate Inn"?

Let’s talk about Lu Qinghou.

The prototype of Lu Qinghou is probably Zuo Qinghou in "Chu Liuxiang". He likes to recite poems very much, and the sense of déjà vu is quite strong. Not to mention that names such as Li Dazui and Bai Zhantang can trigger a daydream.

Immediately afterwards.

The male and female evil spirits appear.

It is said to be a male and female evil spirit, but it is actually a film about two little girls who are just starting out. One of them is a wealthy lady. She seems to have a powerful family background. This time she goes out to travel around the world without telling her family...

Tsk tsk.

It seems that the screenwriter must have watched a lot of martial arts, but this plot makes people feel a little helpless to complain. It seems that they are selling sheep's heads for dog meat, which gives people a very unserious feeling. The classic martial arts characters have become completely ordinary in the screenwriter's pen. The person has completely lost the strong character that a martial arts person should have, but is full of a market atmosphere.

For example, Xing Captou.

The head catcher in martial arts must have a sense of justice and strong martial arts skills, but in this drama, the head catcher is very timid and has no courage to fight against both male and female evil spirits. He only wants to avoid this. For ruthless people, the sound of running away is matched with the sound of a motorcycle's accelerator, and they can run away faster than anyone else in the face of danger...

soon.

The first wave of conflicts in the TV series comes. One of the male and female evil spirits stands outside the door and knocks on the door, saying that he wants to stay in the hotel. The people in the inn are trembling with fear, and then the two parties talk.

"Who are you?"

Bai Zhantang's voice trembled.

The voice outside the door said: "Me."

Bai Zhantang was even more afraid: "Who am I?"

The other party said calmly: "How do I know who I am?"

Bai Zhantang's legs were almost weak. He relied on the support of a group of people to keep him from falling, but his words were incoherent: "Oh my god, he doesn't know who I am..."

"Just say we're closing."

Tong Xiangyu whispered, so Bai Zhantang immediately said: "Tong Xiangyu said we are closed!"

"Who is Tong Xiangyu?"

"Our shopkeeper!"

Bai Zhantang sold Tong Xiangyu directly, and then cried without tears: "Oh my God, I let it slip..."

The other party said: "I'll stay for one night and then leave."

Li Dazui came up with an idea: "Just say we have no vacancies."

Bai Zhantang immediately replied: "Li Dazui said we have no vacancies!"

"Who is Li Dazui?"

"The cook is not very good at cooking!"

Li Dazui looked confused, and Bai Zhantang said pitifully: "Oh my God, I let it slip again..."

There was laughter.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhantang sold everyone in the inn one by one. The person outside the door asked: "Then who are you?"

"Bai Zhantang!"

This time everyone in the inn said in unison: "He's a deadbeat waiter!"

The laughter became even louder.

The person outside the door said: "I use gold."

This time Tong Xiangyu couldn't hold it in any longer, her eyes were gleaming: "That's it, guest officials, please come in..."

Everyone grabbed Tong Xiangyu.

The laughter at the scene has turned into a burst of laughter. This is too real. You want money rather than your life!

I was scared to death just now.

Open the door when you hear gold?

During this process, Xiao Li couldn't help laughing, but when he smiled, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched

What's going on?

Xiao Li's eyes widened.

The laughter of other people also gradually stopped, and then many representatives of the TV stations at the scene reacted and couldn't help but look at each other, with very strange feelings emerging in their hearts.

This show seems like...

Interesting...?

No one expected that after the burst of laughter, the atmosphere gradually became weird. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and finally their eyes returned to the screen.

Xiao Li retracted his legs.

His expression has gradually become serious.

The plot continued. In the end, Guo Furong successfully entered the inn. Just when she was about to take action, the waiter named Bai Zhantang, who was timid at first, turned out to be a master and directly tapped Guo Furong's acupuncture points.

Little inn.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?

Then the mystery at the beginning of the plot was solved. It turned out that the so-called male and female evil spirits were two little girls. The two came to Qixia Town from other places. They came to help when they encountered injustice along the way. Little did they know that there were many misunderstandings. Always doing bad things with good intentions.

for example.

A girl with an ugly appearance finally got married and she cried so much that Guo Furong thought that the girl didn't want to get married and was forced by the groom, so she beat the groom severely and shouted something like "do justice for heaven".

Another example.

When the miracle doctor helped a little beggar with cupping, Guo Furong thought that the doctor wanted to burn the little beggar to death, so she beat the doctor directly and still shouted "do justice for heaven".

"Pfft."

Seeing this, Xiao Li couldn't help but burst into laughter again, and the others at the scene were not much better, and also burst out laughing.

There were all young people present.

Young people are the easiest to accept this kind of nonsensical comedy style, and they can get many of the laughs in "Wulin Gaiden".

In contrast.

Xu Dong, who is nearly 50 years old this year, was confused. He did not find "Wulin Gaiden" interesting. Instead, he thought the plot was nonsense. However, he did not expect that the plot he thought was nonsense would actually make this group of people shout. Laughter one after another.

Look at the secretary.

He wondered: "Is it funny?"

The secretary's smile was a little low. He was holding his stomach and looking helpless. After hearing this, he immediately said: "This plot is quite interesting. As I watched it, I got involved..."

"Yeah?"

Xu Dong was thoughtful, and then gradually smiled, but his smile was different from the others at the scene. He was laughing at this drama, which might really be able to sell it...
