Chapter 381 TV or Movie
The next morning.
Xu Kun was sleeping soundly when he felt someone squeeze into his bed, hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "Brother Kun, I've missed you so much these days."
Xu Kun woke up in a daze, and from the strong pressure on his biceps, he concluded that it must be Yang Mi who had come, so he immediately and skillfully jumped on the horse and did some morning exercises.
It was almost ten o'clock when we finished.
Xu Kun simply washed up and came to the living room, where he saw Jiang Yiyan doing yoga while watching TV.
Jiang Yiyan was about to stand up when she saw him come out: "Meimei brought a pizza. Wait a minute, I'll heat it up for you in the microwave."
"No, it's so hot."
Xu Kun pushed Jiang Yiyan back onto the yoga mat, and then, under her puzzled gaze, he pushed the door open and knocked on Baoqiang's door.
After about two minutes, Baoqiang opened the door a crack, poked his head in and asked, "Brother Kun, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Seeing him like this, Xu Kun chuckled and said loudly, "Let's go to the Olympic Village to look at houses this afternoon. Hu Die, you can come with us and help Bao Qiang with the details."
Baoqiang looked a little embarrassed, but Hu Die's straightforward response soon came from inside: "Okay, I'll go and see what the foreign athletes' accommodation is like."
Xu Kun patted Baoqiang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are not as open as my sister-in-law. We are a proper boyfriend and girlfriend, what is there to be embarrassed about?"
Then he returned to his room with satisfaction, sat on the sofa, ate pizza and watched the rerun of "Go Go Squid!"
Yang Mi had also cleaned up and came out by then. Seeing Xu Kun eating the pizza she brought, she sat down next to him and started eating without any hesitation.
Compared to Tang Yan, who always acted as cautious as a bullied maid every time she came, she was obviously much more at ease, and didn't seem to be "anxious".
In the end, it was Xu Kun who couldn't help but ask, "Do you think it would be better to make the book "So Young" into a TV series or a movie?"
"Of course it's a TV show!"
Yang Mi answered without hesitation.
"why?"
"Because if it's made into a movie, I probably won't be able to play Ruan Ruan anymore." Yang Mi said quite bluntly: "From what I heard from Director Teng Huatao, he probably wants to learn from your experience in Lost on Journey and make it into a fan movie."
It’s true that this drama can be made into a fan movie, after all, the main audience is young men and women.
"Director Teng Huatao's idea is to join forces with Happy Boys, and let several male protagonists come from there. The female lead will be played by Li Yuchun, and as for the second female lead Ruan Ruan... he wants to find Liu Yifei, and the backup candidate is Shi Shi."
Putting aside the acting skills, this casting is really suitable.
The Super Boy competition is now in full swing. If we can create a gimmick of Super Girl and Super Boy before the heat dies down, and add Liu Yifei, the popular Golden Eagle Goddess...
Maybe there will be a chance to replicate the success of "Lost on Journey".
"Why didn't you tell me?!"
Jiang Yiyan was now a little uneasy. She had originally thought that it was Yang Mi whose position was unstable, but she had not expected that even she might be replaced.
"Aren't I just afraid that Sister Yi Yan and Director Liu and Director Teng will have a conflict?"
Yang Mi said as she stood up and walked to the entrance, took out her small satchel, and said as she opened the zipper, "And I think we should be prepared for any eventuality, and then talk to Director Liu and Director Teng about cooperation."
"This is?"
Seeing Yang Mi taking out a document with some pride, Jiang Yiyan asked in confusion.
Xu Kun directly said: "The film and television copyright authorization of "So Young"?"
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Brother Kun."
Yang Mi smiled and spread out the authorization letter. He turned to the last page and pointed at it and said, "Xin Yiwu has already signed it. The only one left is you, Brother Kun."
As he spoke, he took out a pen from his small bag and handed it to him with both hands.
Xu Kun did not touch the pen, but simply looked through the authorization contract and found that Party A was Xin Yiwu, and Party B clearly wrote his name.
He was silent for a moment, then asked, "What's Lao Liu's attitude?"
"Director Liu is a little hesitant. On the one hand, he feels that it would be unfair to abandon us, but on the other hand, he is reluctant to give up this opportunity."
Xu Kun sighed and said, "Let me see Lao Liu first."
Having said that, he pushed the contract away and stood up.
"Brother Kun!"
Jiang Yiyan was a little anxious.
Xu Kun pointed at the contract on the table and said, "You think you are Old Liu and you didn't think of signing the contract in advance?"
As he spoke, he grabbed the phone from the coffee table and walked into the bedroom while dialing a number.
Yang Mi was also somewhat caught off guard and said hesitantly: "Sister Yiyan, Brother Kun won't..." "That depends on Brother Liu's attitude."
Jiang Yiyan replied with a cold face, and then ignored Yang Mi.
Yang Mi had obviously miscalculated. In Brother Kun's eyes, women clearly did not have as much status as their brothers.
But she was too lazy to explain to Yang Mi. Anyway, with Brother Kun's character, if he really treated her unfairly in this matter, he would definitely make up for it in other ways later.
So compared to whether she could get the leading female role, she cared more about Yang Mi's repeated acts of going it alone.
I thought this little fox would cause trouble within the Teddy Sisters Group, but who knew...
It seems I have to be more careful in the future!
the other side.
After Xu Kun contacted Liu Haibo, Liu Haibo did not hide anything and said that he actually wanted to use the combination of Super Boy + Jiang Yiyan + Yang Mi.
But Teng Huatao insisted that since it was a fan movie, it should be done to the best of its ability, otherwise it would only lose money like those imitating movies.
Although Xu Kun has stopped talking about fan movies since reaching an agreement with Han Sanping, seven or eight fan movies still emerged in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong by the end of 06.
Among them, the two with the largest investment are a youth idol movie starring Hong Kong's popular young actors, Xie Tingfeng and Chen Guanxi; and a domineering boss movie starring Wanwan F4.
The former suffered huge losses, and the latter's total box office was far from breaking even.
This even sparked a big discussion in Hong Kong, with people wondering why Taiwan's younger generation seemed to have less box office appeal in the mainland than mainland actors.
I don’t know what conclusion was reached in the end, but starting from April, there have been more and more soft articles in the mainland praising Xie Tingfeng, Chen Guanxi, Zhang Baizhi, Twins and others.
Let’s get back to the issue of “So Young”.
It is precisely because there have been precedents of failures before and after the New Year that Teng Huatao hopes to maximize the gimmick - in fact, Jiang Yiyan also has a lot of fans now, but the combination of her and Super Boy is obviously not as topical as the combination of Super Girl and Super Boy.
After thinking about it, Xu Kun compromised and said, "Can't Li Yuchun and the fast boys take a step back and play the third female and third male role? For example, Zhu Xiaobei, I think the description in the novel is quite suitable for Li Yuchun."
"This one……"
Liu Haibo said awkwardly, "Old Teng contacted Tianyu, and they said that if they want to use Li Yuchun's fame, they must give her corresponding treatment, otherwise it will affect the release of the second album and the loss will outweigh the gain."
After hearing what Liu Haibo said, Xu Kun knew what he was really thinking.
So he said, "Don't count on Liu Yifei. Let Yang Mi play the second female lead, Ruan Ruan. She was the one who coordinated with the author in the early stages, and the author trusts her more."
After all, Jiang Yiyan got the chance for free, and Liu Haibo took the initiative to contact her to act in "The Princess Weiyoung", which was a favor to her. Now, it is only natural for her to help Liu Haibo.
At worst, I can make it up to her later.
"You mean..."
Liu Haibo's tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement: "Let's ask Li Yuchun to play the female lead?"
In fact, he had been convinced by Teng Huatao a long time ago that the combination of Super Boy and Super Girl was indeed the most suitable choice at the moment.
After all, with Xu Kun's Lost on Journey as a shining example, who wouldn't want to be the first post-70s director to have a box office of over million? !
Even if it exceeds 5000 million, it will still be unique among those born in the 70s!
uh~
It should be said that there are only two copies, after all, they were co-directed by two people.
As for acting, both of them felt that youth campus themes did not require superb acting skills. After all, they were working together as two directors, so the worst that could happen was they would polish each shot one by one.
The main reason why they haven't made a decision yet is that they feel it would be difficult to explain to Xu Kun if they kick Jiang Yiyan out.
"Whether we can hire someone depends on your and Director Teng's abilities." Xu Kun said, "Brother Chen should take the lead in the investment. Do you have any objection to this?"
"No problem, no problem!"
Liu Haibo said he had no objection twice, and then added: "But Hualu will most likely get involved this time. After all, the last time I worked with Teng Huatao, it was Hualu who set up the connection."
"You can discuss these among yourselves."
Xu Kun said, "You also know that I just promised President Han that I would not make any more fan movies, so I will not participate in the specific matters."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Kun wanted to explain to Jiang Yiyan and Yang Mi what had happened between him and Liu Haibo.
But when I got to the living room, I found Yang Mi holding his cell phone in both hands, looking absent-minded.
"what happened?"
Xu Kun pouted at her and asked Jiang Yiyan.
Jiang Yiyan pouted and said, "Li Shaohong called just now and said that she would arrange an important role for her in the New Red Mansion crew."
Li Shaohong?
New Red Mansion?
Xu Kun wondered, "What's the relationship between Li Shaohong and New Red Mansion? Isn't the director of New Red Mansion Hu Mei? And Jingtai has already helped to select the leading role."
Yang Mi calmed down at this time and said excitedly: "Director Hu Mei and the investors have had a conflict, and the director of New Red Mansion will soon be replaced by Director Li Shaohong!"
