Chapter 79 Female One
When Xu Rong learned about the first round of market share between Mango TV and CCTV, he was also quite surprised, but after careful consideration, he felt relieved.
Mango TV can kill CCTV against each other because of many reasons. First of all, the actors in the cast of "The Dark War Before Dawn" do not have the strong appeal of small screens.
Secondly, it is attributed to "Snow Leopard" taking over "Before Dawn" which started high and ended high. Moreover, in terms of publicity, the importance of both parties is not at the same level. CCTV is used to dancing alone and never takes local TV seriously. It is only regular when promoting. Mango TV has planned to fight to the death from the beginning and invested almost all the publicity resources in the TV. With the overwhelming advertising, it is reasonable to have this result.
Moreover, he felt that the data of "Snow Leopard" was actually a bit inflated. The combination of various gimmicks can indeed attract the attention of a large number of viewers who were not very interested in it, but whether it could keep the audience was still unknown.
Because compared with his previous works, "Snow Leopard" targets mainly young people.
When "Snow Leopard" fired the first shot in 2011, the other two people were also in deeper suffering.
"Lao Luo, I really can't do this director." Liu Jiang said with a thick face and a thick neck sitting on the sofa in the living room of Luo Liping's house.
On the table in front of the two, there were four cell phones, and the screens of the four cell phones showed that they were talking.
"Before Dawn" and "Snow Leopard" have caused a sensation one after another, especially the popularity of Yuan Feng and Tao Feifei, which made "Series" a war film in preparation focus on the attention of major domestic brokerage companies, and for a moment it was like a lamb surrounded by wolves.
Liu Jiang and Luo Liping, who are the only two who can decide the choice of the woman, were trembling like two weak shepherds.
Opposite Liu Jiang, Luo Li, who was getting fatter and he was leaning on the sofa, pondered for a while, and said, "Call Xu Rong out, I am the producer, you are the director, that guy is also the producer, you can't push everything to us, don't play like this."
Liu Jiang immediately agreed, "That's right, we can't just do things that offend people."
Luo Liping said, ran back to the room, took out his wife's phone number, and when he was about to dial Xu Rong, Liu Jiang seemed to remember something, so he hurriedly took two steps forward, grabbed his hand, and said, "Lao Luo, don't be anxious."
Luo Liping looked at him in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Jiangda said meaningfully: "Do you think Xu Rong will still be in the capital even if he answers your call?"
"What's the meaning?"
Liu Jiang picked up his coat, picked up his two cell phones on the table, and said, "Let's go to his house to block him."
Luo Liping immediately recalled the scent. If he called him, Xu Rongbay would go to "announcement from other places". After that, he might not be able to say a few words, and he would have to "a bad signal".
Xu Rong has been so annoyed recently, but every time, he directly stated that he could not make any decision. Even if he was close to his friends, he would not give an ambiguous reply such as "I help me recommend it." After the last cheating incident in the recruitment exam, he had personally experienced a truth. If he directly refused when others asked for it, it would make the other party feel uncomfortable, but if he gave people even a little hope and then let the other party experience despair, it would only bring about unresolved resentment.
This is also his daily summary and thinking. When he walked out of school at the age of seventeen and plunged into this cannibalistic society, he was as simple as a piece of white paper. Along the way, he made many mistakes and suffered many losses. However, every time he made a mistake and suffered losses, he would not turn to himself and deliberately forget things. Instead, he turned around and carefully analyzed the root cause to avoid making the same mistakes a second time due to personality defects or some habits he developed in the past.
Just looking at Liu Jiang and Luo Liping who were blocking the door, Xu Rong was quite helpless. He, as the producer, was just Chen Runsheng, gave him face and had a name, and had no practical significance at all.
Luo Liping reached out and pointed outside, saying, "Let's go, find a place to talk?"
Xu Rong looked at the two of them awkwardly. He knew very well what Luo Liping and Liu Jiang were coming. Because during this period, whenever someone asked him to do this, he turned around and kicked Luo Liping and Liu Jiang, so he said, "No, you both came to my house and didn't say hello, are you afraid that I would run away or what?"
Neither Liu Jiang nor Luo Liping said nothing, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Okay, go and have a walk."
The three of them found a barbecue restaurant. As soon as their butts were touched by a chair, Liu Jiang and Luo Liping immediately opened their two cell phones in a tacit understanding and called themselves.
Then, the three of them fell into silence.
After a while, Xu Rong saw that both of them were not speaking, and knocked on the table with his finger joints twice and said, "Hey, I said, why don't you boss Chen make any decisions about this actress?"
Luo Liping sighed and said, "I asked, and he said he didn't care about these things. As long as the scene can be filmed well, anyone can do it. If the scene cannot be filmed well, no one can do it."
"Isn't that the same as not saying it?"
Xu Rong looked at the two people who were like mourning and smiled, saying, "I said, can you two stop crying and showing off your face? It was a good thing, but now it's going to be dead."
Liu Jiang sighed and said, "You don't know how we both survived this period. You may not believe it. Someone has installed a monitor in my car."
"No, this is too cruel, right?"
Luo Liping shook his head and said, "The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. It is normal for people to get first-hand information and then make targeted arrangements. Now it's much better. In the 1990s, people will directly hit your forehead with guns."
Seeing Xu Rong's face tight, Luo Liping smiled and said, "Don't worry, they dare to monitor Lao Liu, but they will definitely not treat you that much unless they don't want to mess around."
"Why don't we have a public audition?"
Luo Liping immediately asked back: "How much public is? In the end, the problem will be back to us after a long journey."
When he arrived here, Xu Rong didn't intend to hide it and said, "Then you can tell me what you two are?"
Seeing the two of them, they were about to deny it. Xu Rong's eyes swayed back and forth on the two of them, and said, "It's boring for you to play like this."
Luo Liping smiled dryly and glanced at Liu Jiang, but moved away very quickly, saying, "It turns out that someone chose me, but at the moment, it will definitely not work."
Liu Jiang looked at Luo Liping in surprise, and he realized that Luo Liping also wanted to get in. Seeing Xu Rong and Luo Liping staring at him, he hesitated for a moment and said with a reluctant smile: "I, I am almost the same, I am a semi-new person."
"Fuck, you two are so amazing. They have reached this point and are still hiding each other." Xu Rong looked at the expressions of the two, and could not guess the reason.
The two of them laughed dryly and lit a cigarette.
When the barbecue was delivered, Xu Rong tilted his head and looked at the two of them, saying, "Actually, this is not impossible."
Luo Liping and Liu Jiang asked in unison: "What's the solution?"
Seeing Liu Jiang take the barbecue, Xu Rong said: "It's very simple. Didn't our screenwriter Xu Jizhou have filmed the show? So, Lao Liu, you find a reason to quit the director, and let him direct it. Isn't everything right?"
"Um?"
Liu Jiang and Luo Liping looked at each other, and their eyes lit up at the same time. Xu Jizhou is a screenwriter. According to industry practice, if the play is scolded after it is broadcast, it must be that the screenwriter is crazy. If the feedback is good after it is broadcast, the director will naturally be the first.
Isn’t taking the blame the screenwriter’s responsibility?!
Xu Rong saw the two people on the opposite side rolling their eyes and said, "No, I'm kidding, don't you really plan to do this, are you?"
"Why?"
Luo Liping thought for a while and said, "One director is not enough. He has to let him get a executive producer, so that he can be like that."
Liu Jiang intersected his fists and palms and said, "This idea is wonderful."
The more Luo Liping and Liu Jiang agreed, the more he felt that this proposal was feasible. Now it was time to blow up the bunker. If the screenwriter didn’t go to, who would go?
The key is that once Xu Jizhou succeeds, he will have a great chance of becoming a famous director.
This is a temptation that no director has yet to become a famous director.
Luo Liping immediately picked up his cell phone and said, "I'll call him over now."
Liu Jiang asked, "Do we want to change places? When they see the three of us sitting here, they can definitely guess that we will dig a hole and jump for them to jump."
Luo Liping shook his head and said, "No need, it's not stupid. You will almost understand what's going on when you hear it. You, Liu, have achieved success and are not willing to trek into this muddy water. But I tell you, 99% of Chinese directors are eager to jump in."
After Luo Liping made the phone call, he touched it for about half an hour. Xu Jizhou, who had a national face, came to the hotel.
After hearing Luo Liping's explanation of the whole story that "Liu Jiang was dragged by other dramas and couldn't get rid of him", Xu Jizhou fell into a conflict.
Seeing that he was quite moved, Luo Liping immediately induced him: "Director Xu, I don't hide it from you. Casting must offend people, but think about it, Lao Liu used Xu Rong to shoot two movies, and now he is the top director in the TV drama industry. If you also shoot a movie "Bright Sword", what status will you have?"
Xu Jizhou forced a smile. The reason why he hesitated was because of this.
Once he is next, he will inevitably offend people, but he is more confident to make a war movie that is more beautiful than "Snow Leopard".
Xu Jizhou pondered for a while and said, "Okay, thank you for Mr. Luo's kindness. In addition, please take care of Teacher Xu."
Luo Liping immediately slapped the table and said, "Okay, that's it. Starting today, you have the full responsibility for everything in the crew!"
Xu Jizhou and his butt were on fire, jumped up and said, "No, no, no, I think it's better for everyone to join us. One person is short, two are the best."
Luo Liping exchanged glances with Liu Jiang without any trace, then raised his head and said, "Hey, I don't understand art. In this way, Teacher Xu is the producer. If you have any questions, you two will discuss it."
Xu Rong thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, but when he saw Zhang Heping who had arrived at the gate of the courtyard the next morning, he couldn't help but feel a sudden slap in his heart.
After inviting Zhang Heping into the house and chatting for a while of irrelevant words, Zhang Heping suddenly asked, "Xiao Xu, how long have you been in the yard?"
Xu Rong blinked his eyes and said, "Dean, if there is something wrong, you should just say it. I feel over and over again when you do this."
When did he come to the yard, Zhang Heping was clear about it. This question was simply nonsense.
Zhang Heping laughed a few times, his two faint eyebrows flew, and said, "It's really something. It's your responsibility to talk about this."
"Um?"
Zhang Heping immediately said: "Last year, I asked you to recruit fifteen, but you recruited 6 for me, only one-third of the indicators, resulting in insufficient reserve force in our hospital. Do you think this is your responsibility?"
"no?"
Xu Rong instinctively wanted to refute, but soon, he changed his mouth and said, "Director, what you criticize."
Zhang Heping laughed and said, "That's right, I discussed with Lao Xu of the Central Academy of Drama and planned to transfer you to the Central Academy of Drama and strive to cultivate a group of talents as soon as possible."
Xu Rong's face changed immediately. Recruitment and adjustment are two completely different concepts. Zhang Heping's meaning was obviously to change his organizational relationship. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help asking: "Director, what did I do wrong?"
Zhang Heping said "tsk" and said, "You kid is usually very smart, why can't you hear the words clearly when you reach a critical point?"
Seeing Xu Rong staring at him blankly, Zhang Heping said meaningfully: "There is a shortage in the Central Academy of Drama and will be vacant soon."
"Ah, Dean, is this appropriate?"
"What's the right thing? The old dean and the old dean's father are both deans of the Central Academy of Drama. It's normal for us to transfer each other." Zhang Heping said seriously, "On the one hand, for training talents for the family, on the other hand, you also know that Feng Yuan, deputy captain, has been longer than you. Even if Yang Lixin retires, he has to do it in order."
Xu Rong didn't respond immediately. He guessed that Zhang Heping had worked so hard that his purpose would definitely not be as simple as he said.
Because if students really need to be trained, they can go directly to the Central Academy of Drama to teach without having to worry about it.
And he has never cared too much about rank and other things.
Seeing Zhang Heping drinking water and missing the following, he asked with a smile: "Thank you for your cultivation. Since I was admitted to the hospital, you have taken good care of me. I am a stupid person and I really don't know how to express my gratitude. If the dean has any work to do, hello, I will say hello, if nothing else can do, I will still have strength."
"Hi, look at what you said, I cultivate you because I think you are a talent." Zhang Heping first criticized him seriously, and then said unintentionally, "I heard that you are planning a new drama and still lack an actress, the one you are the producer."
Xu Rong thought to himself, but there was a look of astonishment on his face and asked tentatively: "What does the dean mean?"
"What can I mean?" Zhang Heping immediately asked, "That's the case, Lao Xu asked me to ask about the situation."
Xu Rong knew that it was time to express his opinion and said, "Dean, do you have her contact information?"
Zhang Heping reached out and took out a photo from his bag, handed it to him, and said, "A coincidence, I asked me to introduce her to her partner, and also gave me a photo. You can see how it looks. The contact information is on the back."
Xu Rong glanced at it and didn't know it, but her image was really good. He looked at the photo, glanced at the name and contact information on the back, looked over again, and after a while, he said, "Dean, to be honest, her temperament is too bad. She is suitable for playing a strong woman in the workplace. The female first person in this drama I am preparing for is actually a bandit."
Zhang Heping laughed and said, "If you don't make arrangements, Lao Xu may not be able to sign."
"Okay." Xu Rong stood up and rolled his eyes, "You're done with it."
Zhang Heping said happily: "There is no need to force it. It's nothing if you can succeed. I heard from him that this was also what he and his friend asked him to do."
