Chapter 17 Market(1/2)

Jin Fangfang did not complain to herself and others about the "unexpected" position at the Feitian Awards and the subsequent disturbances to her plan. In her subconscious, she was mentally prepared for the situation at that time.

She couldn't understand Xu Rong's decision to apply for the People's Art Theater. As his agent, the first job she did when entering this industry was to analyze his personality.

She said without any modesty that she should be one of the people in the world who knows him best. Except for his views on choosing a partner and aesthetics, she could guess everything else.

Before Xu Rong decided to apply for the People's Art Theater, she went to the People's Art Theater to watch a drama.

Because she knew very well that Xu Rong would never apply for the exam because of Wu Gang's invitation.

She doesn't know how to perform, and she can't maintain her upbringing towards the People's Art Theater like most actors. In her impression, the People's Art Theater is just an international first-class theater, ordinary, that's all.

But she knows watching operas.

"Musliance"

This is the name of the drama she went to watch, a drama that caused a huge sensation in Europe and the United States.

After watching it, she was idle and looked for the Broadway version.

Although the script is the same script, the play is two completely different plays.

She vaguely understood Xu Rong's thoughts.

The moment she felt that she had figured out his purpose, she suddenly felt that Xu Rong's image in her heart was almost infinitely elevated.

But she knew better that if she guessed correctly, Xu Rong's idea would never be realized overnight or in three or five years, and then maybe she would have to work hard for the rest of her life.

She thought about how to help him, but in the end, she found that she couldn't help at all. She didn't know how to perform at all. Moreover, she had a slightly fat figure and had no potential to be an actor, because once she entered the camera, she was very likely to turn from a fat paper to a fat paper.

She finally decided to escort him in a way she was good at. In the past, Xu Rong was not famous and needed a lot of plays to win the audience's attention, but now she no longer needs it.

Whether it is the audience or the market, he is allowed to play a TV or movie masterpiece in two or even three years, rather than four or five bad dramas a year.

After working again, Jin Fangfang felt that the fat on her belly that had just grown up immediately began to burn wildly.

But she didn't mention it immediately.

She had just eaten some snacks, and she wanted to wait until later and give herself a little surprise after the energy has completed the cycle.

Many people in the company are talking behind their backs about her being a workaholic, and she pretends to be working, working, and working all day long. However, because of work, she can wear different clothes every day, feel happy or unhappy, and can go to the places she wants to go for a walk.

Loneliness will degenerate most women, but not her.

Back in the field she is good at, she feels like she is transformed into a shark parading the deep sea.

In recent times, especially after Xu Rong was crowned the Feitian Video Emperor, she not only helped Xu Rong deal with various names and titles, but also started to modify Xu Rong's development plan.

After careful analysis, she suddenly realized that perhaps, this was not a bad thing.

Based on past events, she keenly realized that the excellent opportunity to wade through the big screen has come.

A movie that may or may not be available.

She actually understood that even if she did nothing, Xu Rong, as the winner of the 60th Anniversary Outstanding Contribution Award in the field of TV dramas and an actor of the People's Art Theater. If the movie is really launched, he will definitely be able to win a role with many roles in the end.

But "a lot of scenes" is not her goal.

She knew a little inside story about Sun Li winning the Outstanding Contribution Award. Several popular works are of course one aspect, but the company's connections also played a key role.

She flipped through the address book and finally found another strange name.

Thanks to the popularity of "Luxing", in the past six months, her address book has added many characters she needed to look up to in the past.

Celebrities have their own connection resources, and as Xu Rong's agent, she represents Xu Rong to a certain extent, and she can also use these resources.

After glanced at the wall clock on the wall, she finally put down her phone.

She is going to visit her in person tomorrow.

Under the same night, Xu Rong rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up from the bed. He arrived at home at noon today. He did nothing else and fell asleep for a long time.

This is a bit tired during this period.

He hasn't had much rest after this year's Spring Festival.

The exchanges between relatives and friends, celebrations and socializing, new product promotion activities for related brands, additions to some trivial matters, learning, etc., all took him a lot of time, and he had to prepare for the scenes he had to shoot and read the scripts around.

He became more and more curious about how the actors who starred in four or five dramas a year, filmed magazines, played shows, and recorded advertisements everywhere.

After washing up, he slowly swayed into the kitchen. When he just walked to the refrigerator and saw what else to eat, he found a note on the cabinet door: Teacher Xu, I'm home, I'll buy the dishes for you. Remember to eat on time and don't miss me too much (smiling).

Xiao Zhang took advantage of the October 1st holiday and went home.

Since she came here at the beginning of the year, she hasn't been back to visit her old father for more than half a year.

He smiled and tore off the note and put it in his pocket, placing it maliciously that Xiao Zhang was definitely afraid that he would steal the snacks she had.

Just when he opened the refrigerator and looked at the stuffed cabinet of vegetables, meat, eggs and other ingredients, he was a little stunned. When did Xiao Zhang develop the habit of purchasing goods?

The freezer has a double door open. Can you really finish one trip?

After dinner, Xu Rong came to the study room and opened the notebook. However, after sitting and thinking for a long time, he realized that there was not much to summarize.

In the process of shaping Liu Xinjie, although there were some novelty, it did not break away from the original stubbornness and did not make significant breakthroughs in technology.

In the creation of spy war characters, he has gone far enough that every step further is more difficult.

He sighed lightly, closed the notebook and put it back on the bookshelf. Xu Rong walked out of the study with a water cup again.

He wanted to sit on the terrace for a while, but when he walked to the stairs and was in the huge and empty houses, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

In the past, he was not afraid of loneliness, and was also used to loneliness. But now, he is surrounded by all kinds of smiling people, chattering and lively, and suddenly he became completely quiet, but he was a little uncomfortable.

He took a sip of water, went back to the study, waited for a while and walked out again, grabbed a book in his armpit, went downstairs, and entered the gym.

Loneliness is a good thing for a person with a strong heart.

He can devote his energy to things he loves.

At night, he made an appointment with Liu Yanming and Zhao Junkai to have dinner together.

At his current stage, what he needs is no longer just to hone his skills, but to meet different people and go through different things to lay a solid foundation for the "reality" of the performance.

Liu Yanming is a workaholic. He often arrives at the company at 7 in the morning and gets off work at 11 in the evening. He has to carefully read every script of Hairun. He decides which one to shoot and which one to shoot or not.

He rarely makes mistakes in his judgment. Xu Rong had heard him say before that Hairun had never lost any of the dramas produced.

This is not easy in the TV series market.

Because more than half of the show every year can’t be sold at all, and nearly half of the ones sold cannot be sold at all.

Although it is supported by Hairun's reputation, on the other hand, it is also thanks to Liu Yanming's accurate judgment.

This is how twenty years have passed.

This also led to the formation of a habit of the entire group that except for Liu Yanming, everyone can just execute. As for thinking and decision-making, there is a chairman.

Everyone is used to the chairman's point of attacking him wherever he points.

Of course, there are also more independent people, such as Chang Jihong.

However, when Liu Yanming makes a mistake in his judgment or his vision cannot keep up with the market, the entire group will fall into the current situation. Every drama is making money, but it is difficult to produce hot products again.

In addition to workaholics, Liu Yanming is also an alcoholic.

Every one or two days, he would ask a few friends to go out for red wine. In his opinion, this was one of the few reasons why he could leave the office and go out to relax.

As soon as they met, Liu Yanming smiled and said, "Xu Rong, you really have to be a driver. Okay, let me come out for dinner and let me treat you. I have to send a car to pick you up."

"It's not worth it, it's not running around all day." Xu Rong also smiled and glanced at the restaurant and said, "Chairman, I thought you would take me to experience a Beijing Club."

The place Liu Yanming chose is an old Western restaurant with a history of more than 30 years.

He has brought Xiao Zhang to this place before, and he can eat enough for four or five hundred yuan per person.

"Haha, next time."

Zhao Junkai interrupted and said, "Old Liu, if you really go, don't forget to take me with you."

"Hahaha."

After sitting down, Liu Yanming sighed: "You really have a bad head."

Xu Rong looked at him in surprise and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Junkai said: "It's not the case that "Luxing" was broadcast. Before, Oriental TV set a premiere at midnight in order to clear the ratings records. Do you still remember this?"

Xu Rong nodded and said, "Remember."

He was so impressed by this matter. It was because the four premiere TV stations broke up that the major domestic TV stations snatched up the "Luxing" phenomenon.

Zhao Junkai sighed and said, "In fact, it has nothing to do with you. Oriental TV's actions have completely disrupted the entire TV drama market. Originally, although there is no agreement between TV stations in black and white, they are tacit unspoken rules. What are the unspoken rules used for? They are used to abide by, not to break them."

Liu Yan handed him the menu and asked, "Look at what you want to eat, order whatever you want."

Xu Rong took it and said, "When I came, I told Assistant Xiao Zhang that the chairman would have to slaughter a meal today. Even if he had eaten his stomach, he would not be able to eat a thousand."

"Haha, you can't eat, you can drink more. The wine is much more expensive than the dishes."

Xu Rong ordered two dishes, handed the menu to Zhao Junkai, and asked, "Is the impact of this matter serious?"

Liu Yanming smiled bitterly and said, "The impact is much more serious than you think. In the past, TV stations used pre-order purchases based on the production company's previous production level. Each TV station will pre-order different types of films according to its own characteristics. Last year, it was basically the same, and it belonged to a relatively healthy market ecology."

"But now, these rules are not followed, and the selling price is getting higher and higher, but the general quality of TV series is uneven, which leads to the TV station's distrust of pre-orders."
