From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

Oh, Mango TV?

Ding Zhi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't reply. He was waiting for Li Xiuyuan's next words.

Speaking of which, although Jiuyao Media under Ding Zhi has produced several "masterpieces", in the final analysis, it has only recently become a regular member of the grass-roots team, and there are really not many "generals" available for it.

In fact, it’s not a bad idea to compare it to a “high-end version” of a star studio.

But this "studio" has quite a few stalls, including artist management, movie sections, online drama sections, and online variety sections.

In the eyes of some professional insiders, it is a typical negative case of "messiness", "high ambition but low power", "biting off more than you can chew", and "learning to run before you can walk".

However, in less than three years, we have produced hit dramas and online variety series such as "The Hidden Corner" and "Heartbeat Signal".

This undoubtedly left many "professional" insiders dumbfounded.

Let's analyze it, it can only be "beating the master to death with random punches", or relying on Ding Zhi's flow to "defeat ten skills with one force".

But in fact, they were right. The current state of Jiuyao Media is really "unscientific."

It can be said that to a large extent, it relies on the "fighting general flow" with the individual as the core.

Just like Ding Zhi currently controls film and television dramas, Li Xiuyuan not only takes on part of the operations of Jiuyao Media, but also takes on the main responsibility of the variety show section.

Even though Li Xiuyuan hasn't appeared in dozens of chapters, it's just like Ding Zhi loves the new and hates the old, or someone who is slow to update accidentally forgets this character.

But in fact, from last year to now, the reason why Jiuyao Media has shown a profit trend on its books is actually because of Li Xiuyuan’s blood transfusion to the company on the Internet.

Whether it is investment in "Operation Red Sea", "The Tuner" or "The God of Medicine", the payback cycle is actually very long. Just relying on the funds on the books from "The Hidden Corner" the year before last, it may be

Already unable to make ends meet, Ding Zhi needed to dig into his pocket for another blood transfusion.

In addition to the hit series "Heartbeat Signal", he and his variety show production team, relying on Chen Ke's tilt in Peach TV resources, have actually successively launched several low-cost online variety shows that have received good responses, but none have become big hits.

, but it still has very good benefits.

In the beginning, Li Xiuyuan still relied on Ding Zhi's guidance to do things, but now, he can basically take charge of himself.

"I still remember some time ago, you were telling me that you wanted to "unbind" from Peach TV to a certain extent, right?"

Ding Zhi nodded. In the future, Li Xiuyuan will also be a very important part of Jiuyao. There is no doubt that Li Xiuyuan will be a very important part of Jiuyao. Therefore, Ding Zhi's deepest plans and thoughts about Jiuyao are known to him as well as Yang Fu.

"I think we can definitely start with variety shows, and Peach TV is actually not the most suitable partner for our Jiuyao in variety shows."

When Li Xiuyuan talked about business, his increasingly rounded face gradually became serious.

"For example, the dispute over the copyright and operation of "Heartbeat Signal" will not be the first time, nor will it be the last time. Our variety show production cannot be too dependent on one platform."

Speaking of this, we actually have to talk about what happened in the second season of "Heart Signal" last year.

Chen Ke and Qi Shuai's "two heroes' struggle for supremacy" at Peach TV actually has a certain impact on the entire Peach TV business sector to a large extent.

Although the "Heartbeat Signal" series was started by Li Xiuyuan with the support of Chen Ke, Qi Shuai, as a major figure in Taobao Pictures, was still able to interfere with Li Xiuyuan in some places, such as in operations and publicity.

There is even a certain degree of intervention in editing.

Although it was successfully resolved in the end, it was obviously a lot more difficult than the wanton play in the first and second seasons.

This kind of internal problem within Party A actually has a greater impact on Li Xiuyuan than the production of film and television dramas.

After all, the mode of most online TV shows is to produce and play at the same time.

On the other hand, there is the "copyright" issue that has always been controversial in variety shows.

Copyright issues in variety shows are actually more difficult to define than in film and television dramas.

In terms of film and television, even someone as arrogant as a certain Yu who is already in disgrace only dares to advocate the "20%" theory.

Strictly speaking, in variety shows, creativity, technology, rules, hosting, etc. belong to ideas and are not protected by copyright law. However, in terms of copyright protection, only original expressions such as stage design and text scripts are protected by copyright law.

aspect.

This is why in the past two years, as long as a show becomes popular in the Internet variety show, there will be so many followers, just like Li Xiuyuan's "Heartbeat Signal" started a series of romance variety trends.

In other words, even if Qi Shuai wants to start a new "love variety" to compete internally, Li Xiuyuan has nothing to do with him - in fact, Qi Shuai actually did this.

Ding Zhi nodded. He did not question Li Xiuyuan's judgment, just as the other party did not question his own.

"Then why choose Mango TV?"

Li Xiuyuan rolled his eyes, "Don't think anyone is your best actor!"

"You have a choice because all the five major platforms are looking for you, and I chose Mango TV because apart from Peach, Mango is the only one looking for me."

The two of them chatted casually and did not go into deep conversation. On the one hand, the new variety show was still on paper for the time being, and on the other hand, it was also because the two of them just chatted casually.

Li Xiuyuan came here today mainly to celebrate Ding Zhi's birthday. When the project is actually put into practice, it will not be too late to discuss it in depth.

"What are you two doing sneaking around here!"

Zou Yutong came over with a cake and interrupted their chat.

"No, let's talk about some things, eh! You want to..."

Ding Zhi turned around and saw that Zou Yutong's posture when holding the cake seemed not right. The next second, a piece of cake covered in cream was stuck on Ding Zhi's face with a "pop".

Li Xiuyuan next to him also looked a lot smoother.

The whole place was silent.

After all, no matter how approachable Ding Zhi is, he has three identities: director, leading actor, and producer. In fact, he is the most powerful person in the entire crew at this time.

Miss Zou's sudden confusion on his face was something that no one expected.

"Fuck! Sister Tong, you hurt an innocent person!"

Li Xiuyuan was the first to react, but when he looked at Li Xiuyuan's embarrassed face, he also laughed out loud.

"Hahahahaha!"

Before Zou Yutong could fully release her signature goose call, everyone noticed that Ding Dingzhi wiped her face with both hands, and then her hands were like lightning, one in each hand, and also wiped the faces of Zou Yutong and Li Xiuyuan.

Their smiles suddenly stopped...

"Ahhhhh!"

Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong started this, and the next step was a real butter fight. The staff and actors who let go of the fight liked nothing more than to greet Ding Zhi.

But Zou Yutong was able to "hit" Ding Zhi because she was Zou Yutong, and most of the others had "unsuccessful sneak attacks but were captured".

Finally, today was only a half-day off. After everyone went crazy, Ding Zhi simply gave everyone a full day off.

After all, "The God of Medicine" has been filmed so far. Because the actors have strong professional skills, even if Ding Zhi likes to "move around", the overall progress is still much faster than expected. The birthday boy Ding Zhi also let everyone

Have fun.

...

...

After playing around for a long time, it finally arrived in the evening, and Ding Zhi returned to the hotel and took a good shower.

When he came out wearing a bathrobe, Ding Zhi raised his hand to wipe the bathrobe and picked up his mobile phone.

The news with Zou Yutong was still three minutes ago.

"Do I still have a birthday present? [laughs crookedly]"

"No! Don't even think about it! This is the crew hotel!"

"There are really no gifts? I remember when you were packing your luggage before departure, that pearl..."

"Bah! You're wrong! I'm really too tired from playing! Let's take a shower and take a nap before we talk again!"

After all, it is in China. Although the investment cost of "The God of Medicine" is not very high, because the salary is also controlled very low, the benefits in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation are relatively high.

So their accommodation conditions are pretty good.

Although Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong are boyfriend and girlfriend, they cannot live together because of their confidentiality.

In order to avoid suspicion, Zou Yutong even lived on a different floor from Ding Zhi.

Ding Zhi is on the second floor, while Zou Yutong is on the third floor.

"Ding dong~"

The doorbell rang suddenly.

A slightly rippling smile appeared on Ding Zhi's face.

He obviously guessed who it was.

Tsk, I just said that I was tired today and needed to take a good rest, but now I’m not here yet.

A woman's mouth is a liar.

Ding Zhi didn't think much, walked up and prepared to open the door.

After all, as Miss Zou said, there are many people in the crew hotel, although Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong, especially Ding Zhi, are already very capable of "fighting" public opinion.

However, Ding Zhi still hopes to be prepared for how the two of them will announce their relationship, rather than being "forced to expose it".

"Click."

The door was opened quickly.

"kindness?"

The smile on Ding Zhi's face faded slightly and his brows raised slightly.

The person coming is not Zou Yutong!

"Hello, Director Ding!"

Although she is not Miss Zou, she is still an actress.

Ding Zhi stared at the woman with a rather green smile in front of him, a little confused.

This person's name is Shen Qiao. The character she plays in "The God of Medicine" is Ding Zhi's wife. To be precise, she is his ex-wife.

As for the people, they were stuffed in from the Huansong side.

Speaking of which, she can be regarded as Ding Zhi's junior sister.

But this one was unlucky. When she came, Ding Zhi had already left the nest.

To be honest, there are not many scenes, just a few scenes.

However, supporting roles, especially those who occupy "fragmented" time, have to accommodate the crew. Just like when Ding Zhi was filming "Eight Hundred", his role was clearly only a few minutes, but he was still on the crew. Stayed the same for about a month.

The same goes for the Shen Qiao in front of me.

For example, her next scene is scheduled for about a week, and it will be almost finished when it is over. After all, there are really few scenes.

Ding Zhi's impression of this actress was pretty good. She wasn't the kind of actress who had great acting skills, but she wasn't bad either. According to industry parlance, she was just "working", so being the main character was definitely not that interesting.

But, a character like "Cheng Yong's ex-wife" who doesn't even have a name is actually enough.

The best thing is that he is obedient and willing to obey the arrangements. The scattered scenes spanned the entire month without any dissatisfaction.

"What are you doing?"

Ding Zhi was very surprised. This person also appeared at the birthday party just now. When the fun was at its most playful, the two of them took a photo together with cream on their faces.

This Shen Qiao had obviously just taken a shower, and his long hair was still a little wet.

Shen Qiao looked at Ding Zhi, seemingly hesitant to speak, "Director Ding, I have something I want to discuss with you. Can you go in and talk?"

Ding Zhi frowned, a little confused, "Well, Xiao Shen, look at this, it might be really inconvenient for me."

He pointed to the bathrobe he was wearing.

"Just a little while! Just a little while! I really have something important to tell you."

The Shen Qiao in front of him had slightly red eyes, as if he was about to cry, and Ding Zhi couldn't say anything.

Could it be that someone on the set bullied her?

To be honest, Ding Zhi didn't think too much at first and let her in.

As a director, Ding Zhi's room is not a so-called presidential suite, but it is still of high quality, with a one-bedroom and one-living room layout.

"Come in."

Shen Qiao walked in with his head lowered, and then closed the door behind him.

Ding Zhi, who had turned his back to pour water for Shen Qiao, heard the sound of the door closing and his hand movements paused, as if he was aware of it, but he didn't say anything.

He turned around and handed the water glass to Shen Qiao.

Speaking of which, the Shen Qiao in front of me also came from a major, not the one in Kyoto, but the one in Magic City.

Not popular, and not very old either. It is considered a 90-flower flower. It is a 90-flower flower with 85 flowers suppressing it for several generations, 95 flowers below, and 00 flowers emerging and squeezing out.

She looks good, especially her facial features and face shape are quite grand, and she also has a sexy charm.

Only then did Ding Zhi notice that the other party had probably just washed it, and there seemed to be pajamas under his coat.

"What's the matter?"

"Director Ding, there is something in my script that I don't understand, and I want to talk to you about it."

Ding Zhi noticed that after Shen Qiao came in, he seemed to be even more restless, sometimes lowering his head to look at his feet, as if he didn't know where to put his hands.

After swallowing several times, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Ding Zhi.

But he saw Ding Zhi's breasts faintly exposed under his bathrobe.

Breathing couldn't help but stagnate.

"First time, no experience?"

"Ah? What?"

After another minute of pause, Shen Qiao seemed to have thought of what Ding Zhi said.

"Not...not the first time."

But after he finished speaking, he seemed to have come to his senses, and his whole face suddenly turned red, "This is the first time..."

Ding Zhi lowered his eyes slightly.

If he had only made a rough guess just now, now he could basically tell what the other party meant.

What the hell, he, the director + producer, is here to "talk the show".
