Chapter 229 Don't You Think It's Too Short (13)

In the kindergarten, when Xiaobai came to his seat, he found that Xiaomi was already sitting next to him.Xiaomi arrived one step ahead of her.

"Huh?" Xiaobai was surprised to find that Xiaomi was wearing a light pink coat today, his eyes were bright, and he walked around in circles, looking non-stop, making Xiaomi blush.

"Xiaobai, what are you looking at?" Xiaomi blushed and asked shyly.

Xiaobai praised: "You are so good today, Xiaomi."

In Sichuan dialect, haoguai means so pretty, and Xiaobai is praising Xiaomi for wearing new clothes today.

Xiaomi is wearing new clothes today, she is not used to being the center of attention, it will make her shy and cramped, so after coming to the kindergarten, she has been quietly sitting in her seat and reading picture books.

But even so, it still attracted the attention of several children, but none of them shouted as much as Xiaobai.

However, although she was shy, she was happy in her heart. She raised her head and looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she summoned up the courage to tell Xiaobai, "Sister Xiaomin bought this for me~~"

Winter is here, the weather is getting colder every day, and Xiaomi doesn't have any clothes that fit her. Ding Jiamin took her on a big shopping trip during the weekend and bought several sets of children's clothes.

Xiao Bai listened to her words with relish, and glanced at his cufflinks, which were washed white and torn.

She is wearing a blue Dazhonghua today. She didn't think there was anything wrong with this dress before. On the contrary, she liked this kind of Dazhonghua very much. But now, she suddenly found that she was a little different from the children around her.

Luo Zikang once laughed at Xiaobai's clothes, and Xiaobai has learned a lot about picking up old clothes in summer.

She wanted to share with Xiaomi the new clothes Boss Zhang bought for her, but her aunt's words were in her ears, so she held back.

She was sullen and a little depressed, but she quickly got along with the kindergarten children, laughing from time to time.

Pujiang Film Studio.

After a few days of hesitation, the producer Sheng Xiaoxiao saw Zhang Tan's "The Hidden Corner" building a team day by day, and she couldn't wait any longer.After many inquiries, she learned that Gao Xiaolan would not be the producer of this new drama, and she was relieved. The biggest competitor withdrew, so she finally decided to fight to see if she could win the position of producer.

But before she had time to discuss with Zhang Tan and Liu Jinlu, she encountered resistance when communicating with the director of "Unreachable Love".

"Unreachable Love" has been broadcast to the second half, and the finale will be ushered in less than a week.But because it wasn't over yet, Sheng Xiaoxiao decided to talk to the director first.It is not uncommon in the industry for a producer like her to have two works in one person, but it is necessary to coordinate the relationship between the two parties to avoid estrangement.

After hearing the news, the director said with a half-smile: "People go to high places, but water flows to low places. Zhang Tan is very popular now, and many people want to cling to him. I can understand, but Sheng is not too impatient. , Our drama is not over yet, there are still many things to deal with in the follow-up, we cannot do without you."

These words were sarcasm and harsh, which made Sheng Xiaoxiao feel very uncomfortable.

……

"Mr. Zhang, hello~~ I'm Xiao Fan, casting director."

"Mr. Zhang, hello~ I'm Wang Li, and I'm in charge of the set."

……

Zhang Tan kept shaking hands with people and exchanging polite greetings.

These days Liu Jinlu has set up the team for the TV series "The Hidden Corner", and today is the first time he has met these people.

Unlike "Women Thirty", the cast of this drama is all fresh faces. It is the first time Zhang Tan has worked with them, while the cast of "Women Thirty" is from "Little Opera Bone".

After getting to know each other once, Liu Jinlu said with a smile: "Everyone sit down, we are having a meeting for the first time today, and now the TV series has officially started the preliminary preparations, the time is tight, the factory hopes that the show will start before New Year's Day, we will Hurry up."

"Unreachable Love" is coming to an end, and "Thirty Women" is also broadcasting to the second half, so by December, the film and television works in the factory have not been able to stand out.

Fortunately, Zhang Tan's "The Hidden Corner" has been launched. In view of Zhang Tan's "brilliant record", the factory hopes to catch up with the progress. Seamless connection cannot be achieved, but it should be possible to catch up with New Year's Day.

After Liu Jinlu finished speaking, Zhang Tan immediately answered: "We must work hard, but the standards must not be relaxed at all. We must have high standards and strict requirements."

Liu Jinlu: "Of course, the standard cannot be relaxed at all. Zhang Tan, don't worry, I still hope that this drama can fulfill my dream."

His dream is to make his work into the top three in the ratings. Originally, the last "Mystery Call" was promising, but in the end, his word-of-mouth declined and his success fell short.

In order to reassure Zhang Tan, Liu Jinlu said: ""The Hidden Corner" is considered a short play, so the shooting cycle will not be too long. I plan to follow the filming model, the quality of the film and the setting, props, costumes and other aspects. It’s all done like a movie.”

It's no wonder that at the first meeting today, he called all the people in charge of the set, costumes and other aspects, and everyone gathered together.

Zhang Tan is of course happy to see such a request from the director, but he is also worried: "Is the budget enough?"

Liu Jinlu: "Minister Zhu said that he would not let us uncover the truth, but the exact amount has not yet been approved. Speaking of which, Zhang Tan, we have to quickly find a producer. These things are easy to say, but they are practical. It's complicated, those people in the finance department and the audit department are not easy to deal with, now I'm running, and I can be mad at the finance people."

Zhang Tan has also heard Gao Xiaolan complain before, saying that the company's finances can drive people crazy.

He said with a smile, "Didn't Minister Zhu say something? The Finance Department will still embarrass you?"

Liu Jinlu waved his hand: "I can't be too embarrassed, but the procedures are too troublesome, all kinds of signatures and document proofs. Although Minister Zhu has spoken, the company's finances are so good that he doesn't need to give him face."

Zhang Tan understood, and asked, "Then you haven't found the producer yet?"

About the producer, Liu Jinlu had discussed with him a long time ago. He asked Gao Xiaolan at that time, but Gao Xiaolan declined after thinking about it for a night, and he didn't mention it again.

The only producer Zhang Tan knows now is Gao Xiaolan. Gao Xiaolan will not participate this time. Thinking about it from another perspective, it is also a good thing. I can use this opportunity to meet more people in the industry.

I can't always work with Gao Xiaolan alone in the future. He is in urgent need of contacts, and the preparation of a new project is a good opportunity to accumulate contacts. Maybe Gao Xiaolan also saw this problem, so he declined such a good opportunity.

Liu Jinlu said: "There are quite a few people who recommended themselves to me, but I think we need to consider it carefully. We won't talk about it now, and we will discuss it later. Zhang Tan, I want to ask a question right now, and this is also a question for Minister Zhu and the others. "

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "What's the problem?"

Liu Jinlu: "Don't you think it's too short?"

Zhang Tan: "??"

Puchi~ Xiao Fan covered his mouth and suppressed a smile. Seeing everyone looking at him, he quickly lowered his head, but the laughter was very annoying. He knew he couldn't laugh, but he just couldn't help it, as if he was specifically against you. The more he held back, the more he wanted to laugh.

Liu Jinlu: "Xiao Fan, what are you laughing at?"

Xiao Fan lowered his head, not daring to lift it up, and quickly waved his hands: "No, heh, it's nothing, I'm sorry."

Liu Jinlu scolded, "You're laughing at your uncle."

Zhang Tan was dumbfounded when he heard that, maybe this is the difference between Liu Jinlu and Zhang Tongshun, both of them have bad tempers, but Zhang Tongshun would never swear, but Liu Jinlu was different.

Xiao Fan had worked with Liu Jinlu before. He was the casting director for "Mysterious Call", so he knew Liu Jinlu's temper and style well, so he quickly apologized.

Zhang Tan pulled Liu Jinlu's attention back, and asked, "Director Liu, are you saying that "The Hidden Corner" is too short?"

Let's not talk about the king, but tell the whole story, so as not to make people think about it.

Liu Jinlu nodded: "That's right, there are only 12 episodes in total, it's too short, can you make at least 20 episodes?"

Zhang Tan thought about this problem when he was writing the script, so he said without any hesitation: "12 episodes are the most suitable. The story of each episode has reached a certain stage, a reversal occurs, and suspense is left. It is necessary to prolong the plot. , can only inject water, the story will not have such a great tension..."

He listed three major reasons, and there are three minor reasons under each major reason. The arguments are so solid that no one can find any faults. It seems that they have been well thought out.

After listening, Liu Jinlu said: "It's amazing, so there are so many particulars, so let's do it according to your wishes, and I'll just ask, it's okay, I'll listen to you."

Everyone at the meeting showed surprise expressions. This is not Director Liu's style, especially Xiao Fan, who was scolded just now. He's a handsome guy, why is there such a big difference in treatment?
