Chapter 247 Building a Team
"Do you like roses?"

In the yard of the villa that Shang Hai and Xu Chuan bought, Lin Mengying asked casually while inspecting the place suitable for planting flowers.

This house has been ventilated for a long time after renovation. Xu Chuan is considering choosing a date to move in. At least, he will have to spend the New Year in his new home this year.

Speaking of which, the greening in the yard is actually pretty good.But the Chinese people may have the deep-rooted idea of ​​planting something when they see the land.

It was not suitable to grow vegetables and there was no way to take care of them, so Lin Mengying thought about planting some flowers for Xu Chuan, and it would be interesting to plant them herself.

After hearing Lin Mengying ask him if he likes roses, Xu Chuan's mind twitched for some reason, and he said directly: "I like them, especially second-hand ones."

As soon as she said this, Lin Mengying turned to look at Xu Chuan and asked with doubts in her eyes: "What do you mean? Why do you like second-hand roses?"

"Maybe I'm sick." Xu Chuan said while holding back his laughter.

"Huh??" Lin Mengying was confused by Xu Chuan's words.

"Hahahahahaha." Seeing her expression, Xu Chuan couldn't help laughing.

"I think you do look sick." Lin Mengying rolled her eyes when she saw Xu Chuanfang smiling like a fool.

Hearing this, Xu Chuan muttered in his mind, "Who likes second-hand roses if they are not sick?"

Then he stopped smiling and said to Lin Mengying: "Hey, how was your chat with Suzhou Cultural Tourism?"

Lin Mengying is preparing for the "National Culture Festival", and the first one is going to be held in Suzhou, so she has been communicating with Suzhou Culture and Tourism these days.

"The problem with Suzhou Cultural Tourism is not big. What is more time-consuming now is the people we are looking for for each unit of this cultural festival." Upon hearing this, Lin Mengying's expression became serious.

"That's true." After hearing this, Xu Chuan nodded.

The National Culture Festival that Lin Mengying is going to do this time involves many projects and units.If you have to divide it, it can actually be divided into two themes, one is called inheritance section and the other is called innovation section.

In fact, the inheritance section is easy to understand, which is to promote and show some traditional culture and art of our country.As for innovation, it is modern content developed on the basis of tradition.

"It's okay, don't worry, it's only December now, and there are still more than four months until the tentative date of our National Culture Festival. Everything can be done in time." Xu Chuan then expressed relief.

The tentative date for the National Style Culture Festival is March 2020, 3. Why is it set on this day?

Because this day is the Spring Equinox.On this day, the sun shines directly on the equator, and day and night are equal in length, each lasting 12 hours.The climate of the Spring Equinox is characterized by warm and sunny weather.

Putting the Cultural Festival on this day actually means "spring outing".Of course, the time of spring outing in most cases refers to the solar term after the Spring Equinox, which is Qingming.

However, holding the National Culture Festival during the Qingming Festival is indeed likely to cause unnecessary controversy, so Lin Mengying has never considered this timing.

"It's no use being in a hurry, just take it step by step." Lin Mengying stretched as she spoke, and moved up her clothes, revealing a slender white waist.

Then she continued to ask Xu Chuan: "Where are you, did you really turn down the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala?
After Wen Xiaojing received the invitation that day, she sent you [-] letters to express her gratitude. Seeing how excited you were about this little girl, she wished she could have given her life to you. "

Hearing this, Xu Chuan first looked around, then hugged Lin Mengying into his arms and said, "Why, are you jealous of Wen Xiaojing?"

"You know how to flirt with women all day long." Lin Mengying squeezed Xu Chuan's waist and then slipped out of Xu Chuan's arms.

Although the wall of the courtyard is very high, Lin Mengying and Qiu Yicheng's refusal to be intimate with Xu Chuan outdoors has almost become a conditioned reflex.

"Hiss, am I considered a philanderer? I just asked her to come over and help me sing a few excerpts. No one thought that Yang Qingchun would invite us to the Spring Festival Gala out of the blue." Xu Chuan groaned while rubbing his waist.

At this time, several days have passed since the promotional video was released.The day before yesterday, Yang Qingchun called and invited Xu Chuan to sing "Blue and White Porcelain" at the Spring Festival Gala, but Xu Chuan declined.

He really doesn't have time to attend the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal now.The rehearsal for his own first concert was enough for him.

Moreover, during the Chinese New Year this year, he also wanted to bring Shen Huajin, Zhu Lanyun and others to Shang Hai's new home to have a fun time together.After coming to Blue Star for so long, he finally has his own home.This is also the first time to celebrate the New Year at my own home.

If the new house is deserted and unpopular, it always feels a bit unlucky.

Of course, although Xu Chuan will not sing "Blue and White Porcelain" in the Spring Festival Gala, this song can be sung for others.Xu Chuan shamelessly asked Yang Qingchun for the qualification to sing.

Asking means supporting the support plan, asking means supporting Chinese pop music.

Later, Xu Chuan directly gave the spot to sing "Blue and White Porcelain" to Bai Tianyu.

Tian Tianyu, the grandson, also understood very well, and at that time he used his brain to use the performance quota to exchange for resources more suitable for newcomers.

"By the way, when will your sci-fi movie be formed?" Lin Mengying suddenly thought of "The Wandering Blue Star" again.

"It's coming soon. I'm waiting for the communication between Huanze and Disney."

"I really don't know what you mean by playing this game." Lin Mengying knew about this incident. Xu Chuan had said it to her before.

Xu Chuan was about to speak when he heard his cell phone ringing.When he picked it up and looked at it, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "It says Cao Cao Cao Cao is here."

After speaking, he answered the phone and said, "Director Hu, how are you doing?"

"Mr. Xu, I think things are really what you think." Huan Ze said in a dull tone.

Although Xu Chuan had long said that Disney's purpose in finding him was not pure, Huan Ze himself did not trust Disney who did not know the truth or falsehood.

But as a director and an artistic creator, he still has a fantasy in his heart. He fantasizes that his talent will finally be discovered by others, or by the largest film company in the world.

Now, after this fantasy was broken, he felt really unhappy.

"How do you say it?" Xu Chuan asked with a smile upon hearing this.

"Mr. Xu, I have been communicating with them for half a month. For half a month, they have been talking back and forth with one purpose, which is to get me to establish a project and establish a team as soon as possible. I am not afraid of your jokes. If you hadn't reminded me before, I, I think this is a good thing."

At this point, Juanze paused.There is nothing wrong with what he just said. The management is eager to give money. Isn't this a good thing?
Then he continued: "But after your reminder, I discovered a lot of things that were wrong.

You said that for such a big project, the other party doesn't care whether our script needs to be revised; the other party doesn't care how many people our team needs;
Three, they don’t care about our financial plan and how to allocate funds; four, they don’t care about our production plans and publicity strategies; and five, they don’t care about our returns and revenue expectations.

They seemed to care about only one thing, and that was when I would set up the team and when I would find the production team and actors.

Do you think this is strange?This is too strange!This makes me feel like I'm Sis Taylor. As long as I have a project, the management rushes to invest money for fear of losing their share. "

Huanze became more and more angry as he talked, and now he felt that the other party was treating him as a clown.The Theis Taylor in his mouth is one of the most awesome directors in Hollywood currently, equivalent to James Cameron.

As for Xu Chuan, the more he listened, the more he couldn't hold back his laughter.

The work style of the people who communicated with Huan Ze was indeed in line with his impression of certain people. No matter what they did, they always put their head first and not their bottom, and they were anxious to eat tofu.Arrogant to the point of acting as if they are full of flaws and others will still fall into the trap.

Just when Xu Chuan wanted to say something, he heard Huan Ze continue: "The most important thing is that the contract they gave is too loose.

Although they said they were relaxed, it was to give me a better creative environment.But after researching it with Han Liutian and our lawyer, we found out.

This easing will help them withdraw their capital without loss.Mr. Xu, you guessed it right. They really plan to find time to withdraw funding and let this project become obsolete. "Can it really be so ridiculous?"Even if they are setting up a group, they still have to invest money, right? "Xu Chuan had a complicated expression on his face when he heard this.

"Mr. Xu, that's Disney. It's such a big gold-lettered brand. They can defer the other money that needs to be paid first to form a group. So, if you just start the group, it won't cost much at all.

When the time comes, as soon as they leave, the team and actors we contacted here will all make trouble for me. They are planning to kill me! "Huanze's tone became more and more angry.

Although the possibility of causing trouble and losing money is slim, after all, this movie is nominally owned by Disney.But after making such a fuss, he will never want to work in the film industry in the future. Who will believe him?

"Don't be excited. Why are you excited about something that was already expected?" Xu Chuan comforted after hearing this.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, there is one more thing that I find strange." Huanze said as if something suddenly occurred to him.

"what?"

"Do you know who the other party recommended to me when we were talking about actors?"

"Who?"

"The male protagonist is the young archaeologist. They suggested that I cast Li Fei, who played your drama "The Beginning". The female protagonist is the new queen of the aliens. They suggested that I cast Wu Yunfei.

The second male, the commander of the CN-19414 group of the United Earth Army, they suggested that I go to Wu Yuqing.They even suggested that I find the leading actors from "Soldier Assault" and directly cast all the people in this group.

There was also the second female, the military doctor at Shanghai base. They suggested that I go to Du Wenyu.Good guy, all the actors I have found are related to you. "When Huanze said this, his tone became weird.

To be honest, Xu Chuan couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. What is this?He couldn't help but complain: "Didn't they suggest that you directly find me a role?"

"Maybe they also know that it is unrealistic to come to you. Or they are afraid that if they come to you, you will find out something is wrong. No, Mr. Xu, I don't want to say this, I want to say..."

"You want to say that if they come here like this this time, they might want to come after me, right?" Xu Chuan said directly before Huan Ze finished speaking.

"Yes, that's what I think. Look, Disney invested in a science fiction movie, and then all the actors I found were picked up by you.

If you go out and spread some nonsense, then a lot of people will jump on their feet and say that you look ugly and don't look good as an actor just to flatter yourself... Well, I didn't mean that, Mr. Xu, don't get me wrong. "

"Yes, when the time comes, Disney will criticize you again and say that your casting is too much. Then they will use this as one of the reasons for them to withdraw funding.

In this way, after they withdraw their investment, on the one hand, they can say that our team is unprofessional; on the other hand, they can attack us and accuse us of nepotism.

As for me, I have an official identity and I have already thought about the rhythm. I just said that when Disney comes, I, the person named Xu, must be toasted first.

The team is unprofessional and likes to be sociable.Haven’t you found the reason why domestic science fiction movies are not good?

After doing this, when the rhythm on the Internet picks up, tsk tsk tsk..." Xu Chuan helped Huan Ze add a few words.

What I did this time was really much smarter than what I did before.

Really, if they hadn't predicted something was wrong in advance and they had done it like this, Xu Chuan wouldn't have known how to wash himself later.

Of course, he hasn't realized yet that the other party's purpose of asking Huan Ze to find these actors related to Xu Chuan is to increase the chances of Xu Chuan taking over.

"Mr. Xu, what do you think we should do next?" Huan Ze couldn't help but ask after hearing this.

After hearing this, Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "Establish a group."

"Are we forming a team for the "Wandering Blue Star" project?" Huan Ze's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this.

Good guys, can we finally start filming "The Wandering Blue Star"?
"No, it's the establishment of the "Three-Star Copper Tower". Don't they want to invest?" Xu Chuan shook his head.

"Ah?" Huan Ze couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

"Director Hu, since we know that Disney is going to divest, why not use their brand name and resources in advance to find some better behind-the-scenes production suppliers.

Disney should be able to get better prices and schedules, right?These "Wandering Blue Stars" also come in handy. "Xu Chuan gave a simple reminder.

Upon hearing this, Huan Ze, who had just been stunned, couldn't help but be stunned again.

There is something more in Xu Chuan's words.

But the meaning is actually very simple. Since Disney wants to invest in Huanze to start the project, they will withdraw their investment later.

It would be better if the team that built the "Three-Star Copper Tower" on the surface had nothing to do with the crew as soon as Disney withdrew its investment and immediately replaced the "Three-Star Copper Tower" with "The Wandering Blue Star".

You can even prepare for the filming of "The Wandering Blue Star" from the beginning, and you can use Disney's signature to prepare.

This is called using other efforts to do your own things.

Thinking of this, Huan Ze couldn't help but thought to himself: "The hearts of these people are darker than the last."

In fact, if this was done, it would actually play into the hands of Xu Cihua and Remy.

Their main purpose is to drag Xu Chuan down to take over.

The only problem is that they didn't expect Xu Chuan to have the script for "The Wandering Blue Star".What they originally thought was to let Xu Chuan take on a crappy script like "Three Stars Copper Tower".

Now, the only outsiders who know about "Wandering Blue Star" are Huan Ze and Ning Kaijun.

Huan Ze was tight-lipped and said nothing to anyone.

On Ning Kaijun's side, Xu Chuan also immediately greeted Huan Ze and asked him to keep it secret after learning that he was communicating with Disney.Ning Kaijun was now very interested in this story and naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

The question is, what if Xu Cihua and Remy knew that Xu Chuan wanted to film "The Wandering Blue Star" without keeping the secret?
In fact, it doesn't matter, given everyone's current impression of Blue Star's domestic entertainment hard science fiction.They wouldn't care what kind of notebook Xu Chuan took out.

Because in their view, any result of shooting is a failure.

Of course, there's a problem.I saw Huanze asking: "Mr. Xu, what if Disney doesn't withdraw its investment?"

"This is a fresh question. If you don't withdraw your funding, then you can make "Samsung Copper Tower" and a foreign film company will pay you to make a story about us Chinese people defeating the alien queen. Isn't that good?

Director Hu, you must know that this kind of scene where the male protagonist falls in love with local women wherever he goes was previously the exclusive domain of white men.

Moreover, this is Disney. If your movie is really finished like this, it will be released abroad.You will be an international director from now on. "Xu Chuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Huanze was stunned for the third time when he heard this.

There is only one thought in my mind: "I wipe it? Is this still possible?"

 Thanks to [The Fat Man Who Plays Games] and [The Last Drunk Dream] for the reward.It's the end of the month, brothers, please give me some monthly tickets.
