Winner in life

The movie "The Eyes of Moreau", which was completed in June last year, will be scheduled for this summer vacation and is expected to be released on August 1st. The light comedy TV series "Double Dress", which was completed at the end of October last year, will also be scheduled for Chinese Valentine's Day this year, two The drama's announcement has already sent a promotional plan to Jiajun Studio. It is now June 19th, and "Eye of Moreau" will be released tonight to promote the scheduled release and start preheating.

"The latest publicity date that officially requires your participation is June 23rd." Fan Junli sat on a chair in the study room and showed Ruihe the draft list he had just made. "It's densely packed, and the following are all publicity plans. "He was a little lucky that he just came back from his military vacation. He seemed to be in good spirits after nearly a month of training, and his eyes even glowed when he heard that there was work——

Fan Junli can only be happy if the artist himself is motivated.

"The Eyes of Moreau is going to be released soon?" Ruihe clicked on the draft list, "It was completed in June last year, so it's only been a year now."

Have you finished the special effects post-production?

"It must be done, otherwise how could we dare to release it?" Fan Junli said, "The investment of more funds will naturally lead to a shorter cycle."

That too.

"The name of "The Clothes Guy" has changed? "Romance"?"

"Well, take a look at the satellite TV that sells it, Blue Sky TV. The subject matter is relatively new, and it needs to be adjusted if it wants to be a star. The producer told me that the original name was a bit too exaggerated, so it was changed to a more subtle name."

Rui He laughed and said, "'Romantic Love' is really subtle. But it's really impressive that it can be sold to Blue Sky Satellite TV. This is a first-tier satellite TV. I remember that this satellite TV has very high requirements for purchasing TV dramas. Our drama doesn't seem to meet the requirements." What does it like?" As he said this, he saw Fan Junli looking at him with a suppressed smile, and he was confused: "What's wrong?"

Fan Junli held his chin and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that you are also a popular actor now?"

This sentence had no beginning and no end. Rui He frowned: "When did it happen?"

"The ratings of the finale of "Brothers and Sisters" exceeded 2, and the final calculated average rating was 1.678. It seems that you didn't remember what I told you."

Ruihe remembered: "Oh, yes, you told me. Sorry, I was a little slow during that time and felt that the outside world was covered with a veil. So what do you mean, I'm red again?"

The word "again" is used because Ruihe has experienced the so-called "red" several times. In fact, there is no exact numerical data to measure "red". Maybe you have a TV series that is currently on the air, or maybe you are on a hot search for something and attract great attention from the people... It can all be called "red". Maybe in the first two times, Ruihe was not used to the sudden increase in fans and the support and gifts from fans. Later, after several ups and downs, he got used to it.

He doesn't like too much attention. He just likes to stay on the set and at home. As long as there are good roles to shoot and good works to be seen by the audience, that's enough.

"Looking at your calm look... okay, that's right. There are three major dramas at the beginning of the year with average ratings exceeding 1, including "Brothers and Sisters". So you can understand, right? This is your second one A TV series with the leading male lead also has a ratings of over 1 and a rating of 8.9. It can be said that it has a good reputation in the ratings. This is your actual performance!" Fan Junli became more and more excited as he talked.

In fact, Fan Junli had wanted to say this for a long time. Unfortunately, at that time, Ruihe was too deep into the filming of "Hao Ying" and his mental state was not good. Nothing he said to him seemed to be deafening, and everyone was stunned.

"This is actual performance!" Fan Junli repeated it again. He stared at Ruihe and said, "This drama has won you more audience popularity than "Military Soul", and it has also established your reputation in the industry. A "Military Soul" "It doesn't mean anything. At that time, you were a pure newcomer, and everyone in the industry was waiting and watching, but this time it was different. In their eyes, you were an actor with acting skills and ratings. Congwu, this was the beginning of the two of us. On one of the goals we set, we achieved it.”

Ruihe struggled to digest the good news.

Fan Junli joked: "And you are cheap, with good quality and low price. The studio has received many roles before "Brothers and Sisters" has finished airing. This time, if "Eye of Moreau" and "Brothers and Sisters" can also be With good grades, you can go further.”

"Good quality and low price, thank you for coming up with this word. Okay, okay, this word is used very well. Seriously, Brother Fan, thank you." Rui He thanked him sincerely.

Even with so many invitations, Fan Junli generously gave him a holiday, which can be said to have good intentions.

“But I still have to say, it’s ‘Romance’ and not ‘Dressed Up’.”

Fan Junli covered his forehead and leaned on the back of the chair: "Oh my God, what did you learn during this month's vacation? You made cups and knitted hats, and now you can tell cold jokes." Then he sat up straight and said, "OK , let’s get down to business. I think the reason why "Romance" can be sold to Blue Sky TV is because of your popularity with "Brothers and Sisters". No matter what, it is a good thing to be sold on first-line TV, and it is a Valentine's Day show during the summer vacation. That’s even better when good things come in pairs!”

The busy publicity work has officially begun, and nearly a month of campus life has made Ruihe feel like he was in another world when he re-entered this busy and prosperous entertainment circle. "I really need a vacation." Rui He sighed, and he decided to take a vacation like this one if he has the opportunity in the future, so that he can find his previous work passion after returning from the vacation.

Unfortunately, Guang Yunting was also on the set, so the two could not meet and could only communicate through mobile phones. The two very motivated young people encouraged each other and worked on their respective careers after hanging up the phone.

"Eye of Moreau" has launched an overwhelming publicity campaign. Since the official announcement, news about this movie has been squeezed out bit by bit on the Internet like toothpaste, including investment, special effects investment, and anecdotes about the starring actors on the set. , with two stills sandwiched between them, which is enough to whet the audience's appetite.

Ruihe cooperated with the crew to promote the film, and he saw the male lead Zheng Yisong almost every scene. Zheng Yisong also came to some small activities and was very dedicated. Fan Junli, who is well-informed, said: "He can't help it. He has invested in the Spring Festival movie again, and he is still the leading actor in the box office. No wonder he is anxious." If he continues to attack, it will be difficult to get a good production. role.

The intensive publicity made Fan Junli cancel the idea of ​​asking Junyi Film and Television to help Ruihe with publicity. The film's publicity was strong, and the pressure on the actors was less. "And you are not responsible for the box office of this movie. There is no need." The official Weibo of the "Eye of Moreau" movie posts one post a day. It is enough for Jiajun Studio to be more diligent and repost the official Weibo. "I plan to use the funds for the promotion of Romance."

Rui He, who had just finished a road show at a certain university, drank two glasses of water before feeling better. Fan Junli had no objection to what he said. On the contrary, Fan Junli suddenly thought of something: "Have you gone to your promotion today, Lu Mingsheng?"

Rui He took a skewer to eat the fruit in the crystal bowl. Hearing the words, he responded: "Here he is, why did he suddenly mention him?"

"You said before that he was trying to trick you. I'm afraid you might get into trouble again."

"That happened for a long time. I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me. It's not like that. I am just the number four male, and he is the number three male. What can I do to hinder him?"

Lu Mingsheng really didn't cause any trouble for Rui He. He was very polite at events. He once even invited Rui He to a party. He said it was a private party and the attendees were all people in the circle. Rui He didn't dare to have a close relationship with him, so he politely refused.

"That's good."

The promotion of "Eye of Moreau" started earlier than that of "Amour", but soon the promotion of "Amour" also started. Blue Sky Satellite TV invited Ruihe to participate in the celebrity carousel. In fact, the invitation came through the film crew. The film crew happily agreed, and Fan Junli's face turned dark.

"What does that program look like now? Where can it go?" Fan Junli said in a deep voice, "Blue Sky TV has five if not ten programs, and two of its leading programs if not five, and they are only willing to show off a star carousel. ? Who are you trying to eliminate?" He was so angry, "We have been invited before, but now it is this show. Is this intentional?"

"Calm down." Rui He said calmly, "I don't like this show either. Let's talk to the producer about changing it."

"That's right!" Sister Zhen said, holding her belly, "The theme of this drama is unusual. According to the current program of the Star Carousel, Rui He will definitely be asked to dress up as a woman in the program, seize a hot spot and speculate on it. What was hurt at that time was the reputation of martial arts.”

"You are right. Director Tian Zhongwen told me that the focus of publicity will not be on women's clothing. I am quite satisfied with this." Fan Junli said, "I think Tian Zhongwen Studio is relatively reliable in publicity and knows the subject of women's clothing. It’s eye-catching, and you shouldn’t put too much emphasis on it when promoting it, otherwise the focus will shift and the drama will become famous for its novelty.”

Ruihe said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. If you read the script, you will know that they have a sense of proportion. Women's clothing is used to advance the plot. The length of the whole drama should not exceed 10%, otherwise I would not take it. The only thing that is uncontrollable is the appearance. program, so I think it’s probably enough to decide on the program flow before going on the program. But forget about Blue Sky TV’s Star Carousel. I watched that program once and didn’t like it.”

I heard Fan Junli complain before about the revamp of Star Carousel, which turned to sensitive topics, and the quality of large-scale games was declining. He read an issue when he had time, and it has left a shadow ever since. He had been on that show before, the one with Du Fei and Lei Yanyan. He knew what the original program process was like, but it was completely different from what it is now.

"Yes, I understand. I will tell the film crew. We have always had a good relationship with them. I believe we can reach an agreement."

Then Fan Junli was slapped in the face. He frowned: "The director of the publicity department of Tian Zhongwen's studio told me that I must go to Blue Sky TV's invitation. He said that selling the drama to Blue Sky TV was a favor." So we must cooperate with the other party's work. "I said to change a program, but the minister said that the other programs had already been recorded and had their own broadcast plans. The only thing that could catch up with the pre-broadcast promotion of "Romance" was that the star carousel had a place. From then on. Wu, we can’t refuse.”

In the contract signed between the actor and the film studio, there is a clause that requires cooperation in publicity. You can negotiate and adjust, but you can't refuse.

Ruihe understood: "Okay, I will go."

"I can only ask Lan Tiantai to send over the script first to see if the scale can be adjusted."

On July 5th, Blue Sky Satellite TV sent a program script to Jiajun Studio. Fan Junli sketched and painted a colorful script. "I wanted to rip it off."

But it can't be torn.

He encountered many difficulties when he was sent to make adjustments. Seeing that he was upset, Sister Zhen could only comfort him: "Congwu is an adult. We should protect him, but we don't have to protect him airtight. The feature of the current program is In that case, how can we change it? It’s impossible to change it completely just for the sake of martial arts. Let’s catch the big ones and let go of the small ones!”

Fan Junli had to compromise and finally deleted only the two most unacceptable parts: dancing in women's clothing and playing games in a water ball with the female lead Ma Zaiyue. Speaking of this water ball game, Fan Junli could only roll his eyes: "Really, I don't know how a first-tier satellite TV station could be so self-degrading."

The water ball is transparent and about two meters in diameter. It is a prop that can be played on water. Fan Junli has seen this game in the Star Roulette. In fact, it has existed before, but now there is a requirement that men can only wear swimming trunks and women must wear bikinis. Looking at the effects of the recent episodes, there is one-fifth of water in the water ball, and the water will soak the whole body as the guests move. The water ball is very slippery because of the water. The guests have to cooperate to transport themselves in the water ball to the other side of the swimming pool, and there will be a lot of physical contact during the process.

Sister Zhen smiled and said, "It's good that you refused. Why are you still angry? Besides, didn't I say that although the ratings of the program have dropped after the revision, it is still good overall, and it has risen in a few episodes occasionally."

"Okay, I just complained a little. Congwu, this is the final version of the script. Don't be nervous. This is a recording and the process can be controlled. I will go with you that day."

"Okay."

Ruihe memorized the script from beginning to end, and then from end to beginning until he knew it by heart. On the day of recording, Fan Junli, the new stylist, assistant Xiao Hu, Zheng Xiaoqiu and bodyguard Xu Jiang accompanied him to the photography hall of Blue Sky TV.

"Romantic Love History" has six people, starring Ruihe and Ma Zaiyue, and four other male and female supporting roles. As soon as they met, Ma Zaiyue came over to shake hands with Ruihe: "Brother Wu, long time no see, how are you doing recently?" Ruihe had a good impression of her. In fact, after experiencing Bai Lu, the female partner, Ruihe felt that anyone who was not like her was a good colleague. Ma Zaiyue was bright and had a good figure. The heroine she played in the play this time was a bold and generous lady. In fact, she was a little shy, introverted and cowardly. Xiao Hu secretly told him several times in the crew that she didn't say anything when she saw the other party's assistant bullying her.

"Long time no see, I'm doing well recently, after all, our play is about to be broadcast."

Ma Zaiyue bit her lower lip and whispered: "Yes."

After greeting other colleagues in turn, the TV station staff came to lead the way.

Ruihe had already learned about the guests of this issue from Fan Junli, and remembered their names and appearances in his mind. After going on stage, Ruihe compared the faces of other guests with those in his memory, and that was about it. During the recording, the camera was almost always around Ruihe, just like Fan Junli said: "You are the biggest star in this episode, and the focus of the program will also be on your crew and you."

After the recording, Ruihe was exhausted, and he didn't want to do such a program again. The person in charge of the program personally sent Ruihe to the lounge and said: "The last time Teacher Liu came to record the program was three years ago, right? Time flies. The person in charge of Teacher Liu before was Brother Yi, and he has changed jobs for two years." Ruihe didn't know who Brother Yi was, so he smiled politely. Xiao Hu handed over two glasses of water, and Ruihe took one and gave it to the person in charge.

The person in charge smiled and said, "Teacher Liu's temper is as good as the rumors say, he is kind and enthusiastic. I hope that Teacher Liu will feel at home when he comes to record the program today." After a polite conversation, Xiao Hu sent him to the door. After returning, he said to Ruihe, "He went to another lounge."

"He is very enthusiastic."

Fan Junli said, "He is very good at dealing with people. I just saw your expression and knew that you didn't know who Brother Yi was. Brother Yi was the person in charge of the program when you came to record the program. Later, he was transferred to logistics because of the theft of the diamond necklace. It turns out that he has changed jobs now."

"So that's it."

"Don't worry about it. If you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment. Are you tired? Go back. Yunting will be back tonight, and you can just get together."

"Teacher Liu, we are going to get together. Do you want to come?" Someone pushed the door in. Fan Junli turned around and saw that it was Ma Zaiyue, so he looked at Ruihe and asked him to make his own decision.

Ruihe shook his head: "You go, have fun."

Ma Zaiyue scratched the door panel and whispered, "Okay, goodbye then." Then he turned and left.

"You are too shy." Fan Junli said with a smile, "Even more shy than you used to be."

Ruihe didn't admit it: "I'm not."

Back at Xiaoqin Lake, Guang Yunting had indeed returned, including his team. Xiaoqin Lake Villa became very lively.

"Hey, I thought I had no brothers." Guang Yunting gave him a big hug, then took Ruihe in his arms and said to his assistants: "Come and recognize people, this is your teacher Liu."

So his two assistants and two bodyguards bowed to Ruihe together: "Hello, Teacher Liu."

Ruihe was startled: "Hello."

Fan Junli gently hit Guang Yunting with one hand: "Why do you act like a gangster? You must have been stupid during the filming."

Guang Yunting laughed: "Just kidding, come on, I brought you a gift."

Ruihe looked at him with a smile, and felt that he had changed a little since the last time they met. "Did the filming go smoothly?"

"It went smoothly. It was great. I played the beloved son of a criminal gang leader. I had all the good qualities of a second-generation rich kid. It was very exciting to play. Did your promotion go smoothly?"

"It's OK. We are waiting for it to be broadcast. How many days will you take off this time?"

"I left after attending the Orchid Award Ceremony of the Evergreen TV Drama Festival. I forgot to congratulate you. Brothers and Sisters was nominated for the Best TV Drama Award, and you were also nominated for the Best Actor Award. I hope you can win the Best Actor Award."

"I'm very happy to be nominated. Why did I think about winning the award?" Rui He said with a smile.

The Evergreen TV Drama Festival was held as scheduled this year. The nomination list for the 22nd Orchid Awards was announced seven days ago. Ruihe was nominated for Best Actor for "Brothers and Sisters".

This is Ruihe's third TV series Best Actor nomination, and his second nomination for Orchid as the Emperor, and the other time for the Golden Peony as the Emperor.

For a newcomer like him, being nominated is affirmation, and he is definitely happy to be happy. However, because the possibility of winning is too low, neither he nor Fan Junli put too much energy into it. In addition, he is busy promoting two dramas to be aired, so he is busy with work, and even the joy is only temporary. Today, Ruihe is already in a very calm mood. He talked about going to the award ceremony with Guang Yunting:

"Then we can go there together and get together with Chang Ning before you join the group."

"I'm just here to take advantage of your invitation." Guang Yunting said directly, "Brother Fan asked you to take me to see the world."

Fan Junli nodded: "I've borrowed all the clothes. You can go together then. I'm too lazy to find a female companion for you." He winked at Ruihe. Ruihe Miao understood that, to be honest, he was still frightened by the incident of walking on the red carpet with Liang Manrong, and he really didn't want to repeat the scene of abandoning his female companion in the middle.

"I'm counting on you, buddy."

Privately, Ruihe asked Fan Junli: "Didn't Yunting receive the invitation letter? I remember that he had been to the Orchid Awards ceremony before."

"That time he went with Wu Changnan from the same company, and there was no invitation letter. That's why Wu Changnan regarded him as a thorn in his side." Fan Junli said, "I am still continuing to investigate his matter, and Wu Changnan is the biggest suspect. He is the one who did it.”

Rui He couldn't believe it: "I understand you said he was afraid of Yunting, but Cheng Ning Company just followed his path? Are the losses not counted?" The incident where Guang Yunting was slandered just canceled the business Events, canceled endorsement ads, etc., the compensation alone is tens of millions. If Fan Junli really didn't accept Guangyunting at that time, Cheng Ning would have to pay for it himself. "Did they notice that you had to sign during the negotiation?"

"Am I so stupid?" Fan Junli rolled his eyes, "I am a smart and capable Boss Fan. Even if I really want it, I will not show my weakness and let people raise the price for nothing. So I couldn't understand it at the time. During the negotiation, the compensation was indeed transferred to me. I pretended not to sign with Yunting, so they were willing to lower the price. "In the end, I helped Guang Yunting pay 20 million, completely severing the agency contract with Cheng Ning. , Guang Yunting also sold himself to Jiajun Studio.

In terms of the contract, Guang Yunting signed a ten-year contract. In the first five years, his income would be 28%, while his second company would earn 80%, and in the next five years, he would earn 30% to 70%. Ruihe, on the other hand, signed a six-year contract, divided into four and six. It can be seen that in order to repay his contract termination money or ransom money, Guangyunting went all out and tied himself to Jiajun Studio for the next ten years.

"At that time, I also gave a second plan, which was to repay the 20 million termination fee first, and then calculate it at 37 cents per year. He was unwilling and chose the first option. It was really smart." Guang Yunting would like to think Why terminate the contract when you can make a lot of money? He wants to be down-to-earth in filming like Rui He, but it is unrealistic to expect to make a fortune as an actor and film. If he expects the salary to be less than 20 million in five or even ten years.

Rui He suppressed his memories and nodded: "Then I will go with Yunting. I believe he will get the invitation soon."

"I also believe that you should take your time! Anyway, the good news will not go to outsiders. I bought a seat for Yunting, but it is in the back row. The gap between you will be real in a short time. I will talk to him However, his mentality is quite good. Let me tell you here, just take him to the red carpet with a normal attitude and don’t think too much about it.”

Rui He said with a serious face: "I understand."
