I've already reached the top level, so I only need to gain proficiency

Xu Jiang didn't hear anything outside the window during this period.

He concentrated on studying the two 'secret books' that Su Mu left for him.

Many times star actors have to face transformation.

For example, as you grow younger, you may gradually shift from the young roles to more mature looks, or you may try more possibilities as you gain higher acting skills.

And the business of directing.

In fact, this is also true.

Sometimes the transformation of a director is even more difficult than that of an actor.

Because this requires psychological construction.

If film and television dramas are regarded as works of art, then each artist may have his own form of expression and inner subjective will for artistic understanding.

Suddenly he lost his original concept and switched to another style, just like his painting changed from ink painting to oil painting abstraction, etc.

Let’s not talk about the technical aspect, there may be a big psychological barrier.

What Xu Jiang has to face now is to abandon his previous obsession with film concepts.

He must allow himself to follow the market.

Like most directors, he also likes to pursue higher-level things.

The works he produced tend to be more profound. Even when the ghosts turned out the lights before, he also liked to make fuss about the emotions and psychology of the characters.

He felt that this kind of thing had more depth.

But during the recent period, after carefully studying the two scripts Su Mu gave him.

He is also gradually being refreshed in his psychological defense.

Two scripts.

One is called "Meteor Shower".

The other one is called "Ultimate Class One".

Judging from the name alone, to be honest, I simply don’t know what it means.

If you don’t read the content.

I thought Meteor Shower was a science fiction movie.

He discussed this issue with Su Mu in private.

As a result, Su Mu gave him an unexpected answer.

Su Mu: "Yes, this is a science fiction film."

After hearing Su Mu's answer, Xu Jiang was confused.

I don't understand why he explained it this way.

All he knew was that Su Mu asked him to go back and read it a few more times.

Xu Jiang did as he was told.

But after reading it once, I almost lost the script.

After working on it for a long time, meteor showers and meteors have nothing to do with each other.

Isn't this just a love idol drama?

And it’s the kind of idol drama that’s completely unrealistic!

Xu Jiang really couldn't hold on any longer.

So I talked to Su Mu again.

And what Su Mu said that time.

He still remembers it.

No matter how hard the script is to chew, it's still better than eating shit. --sumu

I listened to Sumu’s Chicken Soup.

Xu Jiang finally calmed down. It was right to think about it. After all, the current status of the industry is that it is difficult to make money and eat shit.

So Xu Jiang regrouped.

Go back and study again.

And after constant enlightenment.

At a certain moment, he seemed to have a little enlightenment.

It seemed that he understood what Su Mu had said to him before.

Why did he say that this idol drama is a science fiction film!

From a certain perspective.

Idol drama, isn’t it just a science fiction film?

Girls from poor families can attend top-notch aristocratic schools.

Then there is the strongest group in the aristocratic school called F4?

The richest guy actually fell in love with her...

Xu Jiang just wanted to shout out: Oh Maiga, my God!

At that time, he really couldn't understand the logic of this thing.

But now I understand.

If a man is poor, a woman will love you, if a woman is poor, a man will love you. No matter where it is, you must still fall in love with me on Mars!

Enlightenment.

This time I really realized it.

It turns out that the end of science fiction movies... is an idol drama!

…

In the office.

Su Mu looked at Xu Jiang: "Come to me. Have you gained new insights?"

Xu Jiang smiled: "Su Mu, I have some insights of my own recently, and I want to discuss them with you. I think if what I realize this time is correct enough, then there should be no problem."

Su Mu raised his eyebrows: "But it doesn't matter."

Xu Jiang: "You said this was a science fiction movie before, but I still couldn't understand it, but yesterday I suddenly understood it a little bit.

The so-called science fiction refers to human fantasies that have not been reached by technology. In short, they are not within the reach of reality. They can all be called science fiction.

Idol dramas can use this kind of expression that transcends reality.

We must fundamentally break the logic of reality to satisfy people's unrealistic science fiction fantasies about perfect love. "

Su Mu understood half of it.

But he pretended to be calm and looked pleased.

He nodded and said: "Very good! What about? Tell me specifically what you think."

[Expression proficiency +1]

[Skill point +0.01]

Xu Jiang glanced at Su Mu, and felt more confident after seeing Su Mu's expression of relief and approval.

"Well, I thought about it carefully, I just need to modify some realistic logic.

For example, the male protagonist is very poor and delivers food every day, but he can still live in a western-style residential complex in the Second Ring Road of Yinhe City with a unique environment and be neighbors with the female protagonist...

Something like that.

But the core is that all the illogicalities are in service of the sweet love between the male protagonist and the female protagonist. In fact, the main line is clear!

I really didn’t expect that after so many years as a director, I would actually sit back and watch the sky.

It turns out that idol dramas are broad and profound. "

half an hour.

Su Mu applauded with a serious expression: "Old Xu, you are the most talented person I have ever seen."

Xu Jiang was excited: "Su Mu, thank you!"

Su Mu: "It doesn't have to be like this. In this case, you go call Qian Jida and Xiao Ju...forget it, call Master Zhu in. I'll tell you a few words about this idol drama epiphany for you."

Xu Jiang: "Uh... ok."

…

Su Mu spoke briefly for an hour and a half.

Of course, as a good boss, he will naturally be considerate of his employees.

So a batch will be changed every half hour.

Xu Jiang Qian Jida Master Zhu, Xu Jiang Sun Liao Jun Xiao Orange, Xu Jiang Qian Jida Xiao Orange.

It can only be said that Xu Jiang is beaten with iron.

After all, I drank six cups of coffee alone.

Watching everyone leave.

Qian Jida was a little worried: "Su Mu, do you feel that Director Xu's mentality is not very stable recently? I think he comes to see you often."

Su Mu shook his head: "His mentality should be fine."

Qian Jida: "What are you going to do after that? Since you have come to find him, the film and television department will eventually be opened."

Su Mu nodded, noncommittal.

In fact, I first approached Xu Jiang because his Jianghe Film and Television was ready-made and could be used directly.

At that time, Su Mu was thinking that as a partner, he could get the script for them to film, so that he could make more money.

But things are different now.

Xu Jiang left Jiang He and came over by himself.

Then Sumu would have to consider whether to formally establish a film and television department under his own studio.

In fact, this form is not uncommon.

Many stars choose to work from actors to behind the scenes after having a certain foundation.

Establish your own film and television company, build a crew, and shoot your own dramas.

The advantage of this is that you can have absolute say in a drama, and you can get more final profits.

Of course, there will definitely be corresponding pressure.

Because if you want to make a movie, whether you attract investors or invest yourself, you may face the risk of losing money.

After many celebrities become directors themselves, they will even spend all their savings and even borrow money.

It's easy to say if it makes a profit, but if it loses money, it may return to the pre-Liberation period in one play.

So you definitely have to weigh it before doing it.

Fortunately, Su Mu had cards to play.

a long time.

Su Mu: "Of course it has to be established. If a good script can be filmed by others, it is better for us to film it ourselves."

Qian Jida nodded: "Then I understand. I will talk to Xu Jiang later to see the basic cost and how much investment is required."

Su Mu: "Okay."

Qian Jida: "Also, I have something else I want to ask you."

Su Mu was stunned: "What?"

Qian Jida: "When we had the celebration banquet before, guess who I saw?"

Su Mu: "Your ex-wife?"

Qian Jida wanted to strangle Su Mu to death immediately: "I'm not married, okay! No!"

Su Mu: "Oh, is that your ex-boyfriend?"

Qian Jida; "Get out!"

Su Mu: "Hey, it's just a joke. Tell me, who did you see?"

Qian Jida: "Zhang Huaan."

Su Mu: "Oh? He also took those four fools to dinner?"

Qian Jida shook his head.

Then he briefly talked about the situation of the day.

"In short, this may be their current situation, so I want to say, if the film and television department is established and you invest money in Xu Jiang to shoot a new drama, can you give them a role?"

Su Mu: "Oh, Mr. Qian, the situation is big. Didn't you and Zhang's enemies before?"

Qian Jida rolled his eyes: "It's not like you don't know what happened to me before. After all, Zhang Huaan and I don't have any old or new grudges. We are just holding our breath, but we can't look at him like this now." Don’t try to help the situation.”

Su Mu smiled in his heart, and then nodded.

In fact, he knows best what kind of person Qian Jida is. Even if he doesn't agree, he may use his connections to help.

But now that he has spoken.

It was impossible for Sumu to refuse.

But in principle we still have to stick to it.

That means it is absolutely impossible to make a loss-making transaction.

Su Mu: "It's definitely okay to help, but I can't lose my original intention. I have to make money."

Qian Jida: "It's just a role. Although they don't have much traffic now, they still have some fans. It's okay to pay less."

Su Mu smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Qian, that's not the problem."

Qian Jida: "That is?"

Su Mu: "Let me tell you this, the script I arranged for Xu Jiang will definitely be a big hit in the future. Do you think the resources given to these four idiots will be a bit large?"

Qian Jida thought for a while.

If it is true what Su Mu said, these idol dramas will definitely take off in the future, then they are indeed top-notch resources.

Qian Jida was a little troubled: "That might be a bit difficult to handle."

Su Mu smiled: "Actually, it's not impossible."

Qian Jida: "Oh? What do you say?"

Su Mu: "It's very simple. If they are my people, then it is understandable to give them resources. If they take off and make more money, I will make more money. This is only reasonable."

Qian Jida: "You mean...sign the four of them?"

Su Mu nodded: "Yes, although those four crooked melons and split dates are a bit silly, they are not without the possibility of taking off. The opportunity can be given to them, but they must sign with my studio, otherwise there will be no reason for them to be on this show. .

Go tell Zhang Huaan, this is the only condition, he can come over and continue to be their manager, and I can guarantee to give them good resources, it's a win-win situation. "

Qian Jida thought for a long time and then stood up.

"I see."

…

…

…

Galaxy Satellite TV station, business planning department.

At this moment, Zhang Huaan was leading four people downstairs.

Looking at the Satellite TV building, Zhang Huaan suddenly said: "Tell you four, behave better when you get in. It would be good to get a role in the new drama prepared by Satellite TV. There is no better opportunity than this. I rely on your connections." Only then did I contact someone from the planning department.”

Zhao Feng: "Wow, Mr. Zhang worked hard."

Sun Han: "It's okay, Mr. Zhang. Is there still such a relationship?"

Li Hang: "Don't worry. With our ability, it won't be a problem to at least show our faces."

Zhou Yang: "That's right, even if it's a group performance, it should be beautiful."

Zhang Huaan was speechless: "No, I said you can't be ambitious? What kind of extras? I asked you to get the second male and third male!

How come it's only been a year and you four are so unaware of yourself? No matter what happens, we are still a boy band and a popular star! "

Zhao Feng: "Mr. Zhang, you are right, but you are not right either."

Sun Han: "It takes courage to face reality."

Li Hang: "It's been another year, and the positioning matches have been completed."

Zhou Yang: "That's right, the four of us are pretty close to each other at whatever level we are."

"What the hell..." Zhang Huaan clutched his chest, feeling hopeless.

If it wasn't downstairs at the satellite TV station.

He is going to kick these four people to death now.

Your sister hasn't even entered yet, and she's about to go to the extras.

Your uncle, I want to lead four extras, why should I look for you?

Just when Zhang Huaan was about to take out the medicine bottle.

Suddenly I saw a familiar figure.

Not far away at this moment, a woman in professional attire stood there, looking towards this side with a smile.

Zhao Feng: "I'll go, that old woman!"

Sun Han: "Enemies meet on a narrow road, Mr. Zhang."

Li Hang: "From the look in her eyes, I feel like she still has nostalgia for you."

Zhou Yang: "Huh? Mr. Zhang, are you two having an affair?"

"Shut your four foul mouths!"

Zhang Huaan had a dark look on his face, and then walked up to say hello: "Mr. Qin is here too, long time no see."

Qin Yufang smiled, and then glanced at the four behind her: "Yes, it's been a long time since we last seen each other, and you four haven't changed much at all."

Zhang Huaan was silent.

It was obvious that Qin Yufang's words were a mockery of his lack of progress this year.

Zhao Feng: "No way, Mr. Qin, we have changed a lot."

Sun Han: "Yeah, didn't you see that our skin is getting better?"

Li Hang: "Mr. Qin has not changed at all. It has been more than a year, and it is still the same..."

Zhou Hang: "I still don't know how to take care of my skin, haha."

Qin Yufang "!!!"

Zhang Hua'an couldn't help laughing: "Hey, hey, you four can do it. Don't make fun of Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin has so many things to do that he has no time to take care of his skin."

Qin Yufang frowned, then looked contemptuously: "You came here to see Director Liu of the Planning Department, right?"

Zhang Huaan: "Why, you too?"

Qin Yufang smiled: "Oh, Mr. Liu is my old friend. Galaxy TV is preparing for a new drama. I asked Zero 102 and others to come over and try it out. It happened that the male, male and female actors were suitable, so I gave them to you directly. What about you? No Are you here because of this drama?"

If you don't understand what this means.

Zhang Hua'an has only been working under Qin Yufang for so many years.

He looked gloomy and didn't say much.

Then he turned around and prepared to take the four of them away.

With Qin Yufang here, naturally there is no need to fight for anything.

But if he dared to take a few steps, he heard Qin Yufang behind him laugh and say: "Zhang Huaan, this is what an agent is like. I give you a platform so that you can stand. Without a platform to feed, even a person has to kneel down when he is hungry. Now he knows the difficulty Already?"

Zhang Huaan turned around and said calmly: "The platform provides resources and we repay the platform. There is nothing wrong with this. But if you make people eat on their knees and then turn around and step on them, I don't agree."

Qin Yufang: "You are still immature."

Zhang Huaan: "But at least I will try my best to let my people eat standing up. Besides, the entertainment industry is not just for two or three years, three years in Hedong and three years in Hexi. There are always opportunities."

After speaking, Zhang Huaan took the four people away.

Qin Yufang smiled disdainfully.

Then he turned around and entered the planning department.

…

Walk out of the TV building.

Zhang Huaan raised his head and sighed.

The four people behind him who were so handsome by him were still in awe at this moment.

suddenly,

A phone rang...
