This celebrity is too rich

Chapter 187 Zhou Mengxue

"What do you have to do if I act?" Li Chuan frowned.

Wu Jinyan didn't say a word, turned his head away, as if he was really angry.

Seeing this, Li Chuan frowned even deeper.

He didn't like someone who threatened him like this, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed, but he couldn't have an attack.

Although Wu Jinyan is his woman and is currently considered his employee, women and employees are not his private property. Wu Jinyan is first of all an independent individual with his own behavior and thoughts; secondly, she is still a popular star with a great influence and is not a small role to be controlled at will... If Wu Jinyan refuses to cooperate, he has no choice.

"that……"

Yu Jie was a little embarrassed when he saw the scene, so he spoke up and persuaded him again: "Mr. Sen, haven't you always wanted to promote your image of "entrepreneur"? You can play the chairman in a series of short dramas to allow the audience to establish such a cognition."

"Um?!"

Li Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up, but then he thought about it and frowned and said, "This is just a short drama, will the audience take it seriously?"

"Short video...oh~!"

Wu Jinyan looked at Yu Jie and asked, "What is the name of this short series?"

Li Chuan suddenly remembered.

Li Chuan: "Is this still fast? I think it's too slow."

When Li Chuan raised his hand, the smiles on Wu Jinyan and Yu Jie's faces stopped immediately.

"good!"

"Um?"

Li Chuan shook his head and added: "It may be that I have seen it, but I don't know it... I haven't been in the company very often recently, and I don't know many new employees and new anchors."

Li Chuan: "How long will it take?"

Li Chuan looked confused and said, "Is this true?"

"Um?!"

What is the main creative lineup?

"I said I will help."

Wu Jinyan saw this, so he attached great importance to the candidates for the role of "Best Friend".

“That’s right.”

Li Chuan glanced at Wu Jinyan and said nothing. He was afraid that he would make him angry again.

"Well, then let's do it first, um~~~"

Yu Jie: "Writing scripts and drawing storyboards?"

When we shoot short dramas, we don’t need to pass the review, get the number, and don’t need to invest, talk about sponsorship, write the script, draw the storyboard, and set up the crew and start filming directly. There is not so much attention.

Yu Jie said: Zhou Mengxue has good conditions and can try to cultivate in the direction of the plot, which may have some prospects.

"oh?"

Li Chuan shook his head helplessly and said, "I know nothing about acting, how can I act well?"

Wu Jinyan spoke again and interrupted, "Even if I have poor acting skills, I'm better than you. Your role is not difficult. Just a little training. What can't be played?"

He remembered that Yu Jie mentioned this to him before, and Yu Jie told him: Zhou Mengxue’s dream is to be an actor and she is very determined. Even if she can earn several times the money she can earn as an anchor, she is not moved.

After about a week, the four or five short video experts who were still insisting on it saw that the anchors made too much money, so they turned to their ideals and changed careers to become anchors, but in the end they were only one person left.

Wu Jinyan asked.

"Okay." Wu Jinyan nodded.

And... I can also shoot and broadcast.

It is also for this reason that when Yu Jie mentioned the five words "short video expert", Li Chuan began to think of it.

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Jinyan and Yu Jie both smiled.

"oh."

At the end of last month, Sanmu Media turned to the live broadcast business in full swing. Most of the short video experts I signed before became anchors, and only four or five were still insisting on it.

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows. He felt that Yu Jie's words made sense, and he agreed with them more.

If this series of short dramas is handed over to traditional film directors or TV drama directors, it is likely to suffer a Waterloo, because traditional movies or TV dramas cannot survive on a fast-paced short video platform like Douyin.

Moreover, Yu Jie has been shooting short videos for so many years and is very familiar with the tone of short video platforms. He knows what kind of video content can obtain greater traffic on short video platforms. This kind of skills is not available to many traditional film directors or TV drama directors.

Li Chuan heard it at that time and didn't take it seriously. He didn't know Zhou Mengxue, and he hadn't even seen it... Well, he might have seen it, but he didn't know who it was.

Yu Jie: "Uh, that... Teacher Wu, let me explain: We are filming short dramas, not regular TV series... The script of the TV series must be reviewed and numbered. If it cannot be reviewed, it must be copied back and revised; if it has been reviewed, it must be invested and discussed sponsorship. The process is relatively cumbersome, so the preliminary preparation time will be longer.

"Who should I find to play that role of my best friend?"

"Yes, Mr. Sen."

In terms of acting skills... Although Teacher Wu has never won a performance award, he is still very skilled in basic acting skills. She will definitely be fine if she teaches you."

"explain."

Li Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll act."

"Zhou Mengxue?"

"oh."

"I think she's pretty good and should be able to carry it."

Yu Jie is a professional and shoots short videos all year round. He knows both movies and TV series and short videos... Even if the works such people are not effective, they will not be much worse. The minimum number of views can still be guaranteed.

Yu Jie's words were reasonable and well-founded. After hearing this, Li Chuan was a little moved, but he was still quite entangled.

If you want to survive, you must make some changes... This is something that many traditional film directors or TV directors cannot do, especially those who are older, with almost zero possibilities.

No matter what, since Yu Jie said that Zhou Mengxue is worth cultivating, he thought that it was only a few thousand yuan in basic salary, so he simply let him try it, so he dispelled the idea of ​​"firing Zhou Mengxue".

"I'll pay attention to this, but..."

Yu Jie nodded confidently and explained: "Zhou Mengxue is indeed very beautiful and has good acting skills... The main reason is that she is willing to learn by herself. She often thinks about acting skills at home. I have communicated with her several times and I still know her better."

Li Chuan: "What, it will take one or two years! One or two years, the daylily will be cold!"

For example, after filming an episode this morning, editing it in the afternoon, and publishing it in the evening, the time is very flexible... Of course, in order to avoid unexpected situations, we generally don't do this. Before the official release, we will try to save as many episodes as possible."

Li Chuan and Wu Jinyan's voices collided with each other. "Sister Wei" was asked by Li Chuan, and "Okay" was said by Wu Jinyan.

"Um?"

Wu Jinyan: "No problem, I will arrange it."

"No."

The protagonist Wei Ying is played by Wu Jinyan; the supporting role chairman is played by Li Chuan... The two roles have been decided, and only the last supporting role is left - Wei Ying's best friend.

The character "Best Friend" will be Wei Ying's best friend in the early stage and often go abroad with Wei Ying. Later, she will be upgraded to a villain and launch a final attack on Wei Ying... This character is very important. In terms of scenes alone, it is definitely much heavier than the chairman, and is considered the second character in this drama.

At that time, he felt that Zhou Mengxue was too stubborn and could not tempt money, so he couldn't persuade him, and he didn't listen to anything. Therefore, he wanted to terminate Zhou Mengxue's contract directly and fire him to pursue his dream, but Yu Jie stopped him.

Li Chuan agreed to play the chairman, which made her very happy. In addition to being happy, she was also full of expectations for this series of short dramas, so she cared about the main creative lineup.

"That... Teacher Wu's acting skills are pretty good."

Yu Jie was also confused and said, "Mr. Sen, have you forgotten that Zhou Mengxue is the signing expert of our company."

Li Chuan curled his lips, turned his head to look at Wu Jinyan, and asked, "Do you think it's OK?"

Yu Jie also made a turning point and said: "It is impossible to have too few scenes. The chairman is the male lead after all..."

Yu Jie explained: "The character Wei Yingluo is very smart and wise in "Story of Yanxi Palace". He is welcomed by many girls. They nicknamed Wei Yingluo, called 'Sister Wei'."

Director, screenwriter, starring, etc.

Today, Sanmu Media has disappeared with its pure short video expert, and Zhou Mengxue is the only exception.

"I thought about one."

"Okay." Yu Jie nodded and accepted.

That person is Zhou Mengxue.

"What's good? Is it good? Or is it good acting?"

"but……"

Yu Jie: "Well, according to our pace, there should be no problem with shooting before the end of February. Your schedule...can you do it?"

Li Chuan suddenly reacted, nodded immediately, and said, "Yes, this question is more critical (turning his head to look at Yu Jie) Have you thought about it?"

"Good acting?"

Needless to say, the director and screenwriter must be Yu Jie.

Li Chuan was quite surprised. He thought about it carefully, but still didn't remember it, saying, "Is there anyone in the company? The anchor who just signed in?"

"What else?" The smile on Li Chuan's face stopped.

""Sister Wei's Workplace Diary"...What do you think?"

Wu Jinyan: "You only have money in your eyes, and I'm too lazy to tell you."

This was just a trivial matter, he didn't care about it at all. After a few minutes, he forgot it all... It was not until now that he just remembered it.

Li Chuan stretched and said, "What else should I say?"

Wu Jinyan: "This is what the film and television industry is, but you don't understand."

Wu Jinyan: "What do you know? It takes one or two years for a normal film and television project to prepare for the preliminary preparations. Now... it is almost the end of January, and it is only more than a month before the end of February. There is still a New Year in the middle... There is no script yet, can it be too late?"

Slap sex.

"Where's the best?" Li Chuan turned his head and looked at Wu Jinyan and asked.

"Sister Wei?"

Yu Jie is the initiator of this project, and he proposed the suggestion for filming a series of short dramas; the outline and direction of the script were also thought out. Thinking of this, he will also be responsible for the subsequent script creation, storyboard design, directing and shooting.

"Yes." Wu Jinyan spoke again.

Li Chuan didn't care and continued to say to himself: "Don't add too many dramas to me. I can't put too much energy into this matter. You should pay attention to the script when writing the script. If I have less scenes, try to keep a little bit less. When shooting, try to concentrate on filming, otherwise I may not have time."

"Zhou Mengxue... can she do it?" Li Chuan said with a hint of doubt.

Li Chuan: "I don't understand, but I think it's stupid. I spent a year or two to do a film and television project and may not make money in the end. Is this the brain kicked by a donkey? What's wrong with doing with this time?"

"Yes, Zhou Mengxue."

Wu Jinyan spread his hands and said, "You don't know her, let alone her. How could I understand her situation?"

Wu Jinyan: "Oh, that's it, I understand."

Yu Jie: "It's almost done, the basic framework is already available. The rest is to select scenes, build crews, find actors, etc. These tasks will be carried out one by one after I write the script and draw the storyboard."

"Um."

"I want to ask..."

Yu Jie saw Li Chuan's hesitation and said again: "Mr. Sen, even if you don't act well, we can still promote it. The shooting location in the play is in our company. The company is a real company and the boss is a real boss. With your influence, this is a good selling point. If we promote this selling point, your "entrepreneur" image will be more three-dimensional and real, and the audience will be more convinced."

Li Chuan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "This way, you can book a plane ticket for Zhou Mengxue and let her come to BJ tomorrow (turn to look at Wu Jinyan). If you have an interview, if you think it is OK, let her act. If you think it is not OK, then find someone else."

Wu Jinyan: "End of February? Is it so fast?"

"If you act well, the audience will take it seriously."

If you leave it to Yu Jie, you don’t have to worry about this problem at all.

Yu Jie scratched his head and said, "Mr. Sen, your character is played by his true character, temperament, tone, etc., you don't need to learn it at all, just be yourself... In other aspects, as long as you understand some acting skills, you can control it. The final effect may not be worse than that of professional actors, or even better.

Yu Jie lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "I think Zhou Mengxue can give it a try."

"The character of bestie..."

"I understand this, just try to do it."

Li Chuan and Wu Jinyan spoke in unison, with questions in their tone.

Yu Jie: "I will try to make it happen before the New Year, and start working immediately after the New Year, and try to start shooting before the end of February."

The director and screenwriter are Yu Jie, and this has been confirmed, starring... There are three starring roles in this short series, one lead role and two supporting roles.

"How do I know?"

Yu Jie's ability is not to be questioned. He graduated from the director department of the BJ Film Academy. Although he has not directed any movie or TV series, he still has basic skills. Writing scripts and directing a series of short dramas is no problem for him.

Li Chuan: "Yes."

Li Chuan applauded and said with a smile: "Okay, there's nothing wrong with the series of short dramas."

"Uh, have you never seen her?"

"Sister Wei is Wei Yingluo's nickname, don't you know?"

"I didn't just sign in. She has been in the company for a while. She is not an anchor, but a short video expert."

Yu Jie: "That's good."

Li Chuan responded and his mind quickly turned.

He thought the nickname "Sister Wei"...is pretty good!

"Sister Wei" has the word "Sister", which sounds quite domineering... Wu Jinyan will do live streaming and sell goods in the future. If he has a domineering nickname, the effect will be much better.

"Can!"

Li Chuan nodded immediately and said, "Just use this name. In addition, when you write the script, try to mention the word "Sister Wei". We will try to use this series of short dramas to set the nickname "Sister Wei" for her (suggesting her hand at Wu Jinyan)!"
