Time is the fairest. Whoever practices for a longer time will be more powerful. Zhongtian’s trainee model has been implemented for several years, and it is normal for Chenxing to not be able to compare with it.

And now Chenxing’s focus is not on this. The main thing is to continue to expand the company’s reputation and scale, and move towards the goal of becoming bigger and stronger.

After Xu Zhaixing figured out this idea, he felt relieved, put his thoughts back, and continued to focus on his studies. During the Chinese New Year, Xu Yan went back to S City and had a New Year's Eve dinner with Xu Zhaixing's family.

Xu Yan's mother is abroad and has long been accustomed to life abroad in the past few decades. She usually celebrates Christmas. The Chinese New Year means little to her. Xu Yan's mother is warm-hearted. Taking this into consideration, she greeted Xu Yan early.

, let him come to the house for a reunion dinner.

Xu Zhaixing hadn't seen him for almost half a year, and he couldn't hold back his words. After dinner, while Xu's father and mother were watching the Spring Festival Gala, he called Xu Yan into the room to ask about the company's situation.

Xu Yan briefly told her that Chenxing is now in good momentum, both its artists and resources are booming, and many newcomers are willing to sign with Chenxing. They know that this company is humane and treats artists well, and its positioning and packaging are very accurate. Basically, it is the same company.

It’s an accurate recommendation. Even some celebrities whose contracts have expired have the intention to cooperate with Chenxing.

The investments he participated in in the past two years have also yielded good returns. In short, he has made a lot of money. The entire building that Xu Zhaixing once wanted has been bought by Xu Yan.

Recently, the company has just expanded the public relations department and the publicity department. Xu Yan is very sensitive to the market. He does not need to be reminded by Xu Zhaixing. He has already started operating marketing bloggers on Weibo. These marketing accounts involve various industries, including zodiac signs.

, movies, music, gossip, revelations, jokes, all seem to be the self-entertainment of private bloggers, but in fact they are all backed by Chenxing, paving the way for Chenxing to have the right to speak in the market in the future.

Finally, talking about Zhao Jinjin, Xu Yan is currently selecting drama scripts for her for transformation.

At this point, Xu Yan paused and sighed: "Now I have a problem. I am optimistic about a novel adaptation, but the investment risk is too high."

Xu Zhaixing was quite interested when he heard what he said: "What novel?"

Xu Yan told her about it. The novel was called "Building Mountains and Rivers" and it was not very popular on the Internet. However, the author's relative happened to work in the copyright department of Chenxing. He felt that this was an opportunity for both parties, so he recommended it to her.

Xu Yan.

The novel tells the story of the competition between four countries in the era of melee. The country where the heroine lives has three major families. These three families fight openly and secretly, and are at odds with each other, but their interests are inextricably linked.

The plot of "Building Mountains and Rivers" is very large, and the political strategies described by the author in the book are also very exciting. Xu Yan quite recognized the story after reading it. But the biggest problem now is that there has never been a TV series of this type on the market.

, you can't predict its future.

The film and television market is actually very particular about following trends. Many investors need to make sure that there has been a drama of the same type before they invest. TV dramas adapted from online novels are very rare nowadays. Xu Yan took advantage of several investments

The project was mentioned intentionally or unintentionally at the business dinner table, and the other party said that the risk was too great, and it was better to invest in the same type of drama that is currently popular.

Xu Yan also sounded a little helpless: "I am also considering whether to give her a serious workplace drama that can go wrong, or to take a risk and directly buy the adaptation rights of this novel and let Chenxing invest in the production."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xu Zhaixing say excitedly: "Vote, brother! Just vote for this drama! It doesn't matter if you don't have investors, we will vote for it and make it ourselves! This novel is so well written, it will definitely be a hit when it is filmed."

Fire!"

When she first heard Xu Yan talk about "Building Mountains and Rivers", she didn't react. It wasn't until Xu Yan told the general plot of the novel that Xu Zhaixing suddenly remembered that this novel was the one that would be deeply involved in plagiarism in the future.

A masterpiece?

In a few years, a novel that plagiarizes "Building Mountains and Rivers" will come out. Otherwise, it will be said that God is unfair. The original work has no splash, but the copy of it is very popular, and the film and television rights are sold immediately.

It became a TV series and became popular all over China.

It wasn't until the TV series became popular that everyone discovered that it was plagiarism. However, by this time, the fans of the drama, book fans and even celebrities who plagiarized the TV series had already become established. At that time, the domestic creative environment was still very relaxed, and plagiarism was not as strict as it was later.

The original author began a long road to rights protection.

The lawsuit went on for several years, and the original author tried his best, but in the end he only got a flimsy apology and a completely unequal compensation. But the plagiarist still enjoyed the glory.

If "Building Mountains and Rivers" could be filmed in advance now, wouldn't the plagiarized drama in the future not appear? Even if the plagiarist still copied it correctly later, but now that "Building Mountains and Rivers" has been broadcast, she will definitely

He will be discovered in advance and beaten to death by the vast audience of friends!

Back then, plagiarized dramas could be popular, but there’s no reason why original works can’t be popular!

Now that the original author can take the initiative to find Chenxing, it shows that there is a destiny, which is both an opportunity and a salvation. How could he miss it?

Xu Zhaixing patted Xu Yan's shoulder firmly: "Brother, when we first met, we said not to follow the market, but to lead the market. High returns are accompanied by high risks. I am very optimistic about this.

It’s a drama, if we can find a reliable production team, I believe the result will definitely not disappoint!”

Xu Yan looked at her for a while, and finally smiled and sighed: "Actually, my thoughts are the same as yours."

Xu Zhaixing was instantly happy, and after thinking for a while he said: "This author can write such a great story as "Building Mountains and Rivers", and other stories should be good too! Brother, buy it for her together!"

Xu Yan: "Together?"

Xu Zhaixing said: "That's right! It's cheaper to buy it in a package! And the author also earns more, not only hers, but in fact we can buy all the popular and high-quality novels on the market now, and hoard IPs. No matter what happens in the future,

Whether you invest in the filming yourself or sell the copyright, you won’t lose money!”

This was the first time Xu Yan heard about hoarding IPs. He thought thoughtfully for a while, nodded and said, "Well, I'll go back and investigate."

Xu Zhaixing once watched that plagiarized drama without knowing the truth. He knew the characters of the male and female protagonists and the general plot. Now that he has decided to cast this drama, the heroine is Zhao Jinjin and he has not left, but who is more suitable for the male lead?

Woolen cloth?

She thought about it, her eyes lit up, and she asked Xu Yan, "Have Chenxing ever cooperated with Su Ye?"

Xu Yan was stunned: "Su Ye? No, this kind of position is still too high, and Chenxing can't reach it for the time being."

Xu Zhaixing said: "Don't belittle yourself! Brother, go and get Su Ye down and let him play the male lead! His image is particularly suitable for the male lead in "Building Mountains and Rivers"!"

Xu Yan was helpless: "It's not easy for a first-line actor to work hard, and I heard that he has the idea of ​​​​transitioning to the big screen. I probably won't accept any more TV series."

Su Ye has a very discerning eye, and it takes him two years to draft a movie script. He is still a few years away from starring in his first movie.

Xu Jiexing tugged on his sleeve: "Our drama is also very good, it has great depth and thickness, okay! A good actor will never miss a good script. Go find him and give it a try. Maybe he will be attracted to it when he sees the script and the characters."

Do you agree?"

In a situation where we are trying to cross the river by feeling for the stones, if Su Ye can play the role, it will indeed be a guarantee.

Xu Yan thought for a moment, nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Xu Zhaixing said silently in his heart, Zhao Jinjin, this is all to fulfill your dream of chasing stars. If it really comes true, you have to thank me very much.

She originally wanted to talk to Xu Yan about the variety show again, but Xu's mother came upstairs and yelled at her as soon as she entered the door: "You kid, you're so old that you won't let your brother have a good rest during the Chinese New Year. You're asking questions and you won't come down yet."

!I baked cookies and cakes, Xu Yan, come down and eat them together."

The two of them then went downstairs.

The Spring Festival Gala was still playing on TV, and as it approached twelve o'clock in the morning, the sound of fireworks gradually started to be set off outside. At this time, the city's control over fireworks and firecrackers was not strict. Xu Zhaixing finished eating the biscuits and dragged Xu Yan out to set off the fireworks.

There are already many people outside the community, mostly parents and children coming out to play with fireworks sticks. Families are enjoying themselves happily, and there are also couples who are joking and having fun. On New Year's Eve, the whole family is reunited.

Xu Zhaixing was playing around and suddenly felt sad.

Idol should never have had a decent year.

He was unlucky as a child, lonely at a young age, and now he is alone thousands of miles away, with probably no one around him to talk to.

When Xu Zhaixing thought of this, her throat felt sore. She handed the remaining fireworks stick to Xu Yan's hand and whispered, "I'm sleepy."

Xu Yan glanced at her, wondering if he could tell that she was in a bad mood, so he just nodded and said, "Go back if you feel sleepy."

Xu Zhaixing turned around and took two steps, then turned back suddenly. Her tone was a little urgent, but her voice was low and sincere: "Brother, we must make Chenxing a success. We must stand on the highest mountain and become the greatest

The powerful one."

Xu Yan looked at her slightly red eyes and smiled: "Of course."

When he got home, Xu Zhaixing said hello to his parents who were still watching the Spring Festival Gala and went upstairs to sleep. After washing and lying on the bed, the hour hand just pointed to twelve o'clock.

She turned off the light, and the room was dark except for the faint light coming from the screen of her mobile phone.

There were loud sounds of firecrackers outside the house, as the muffled sound of explosions penetrated through the windows.

She stared at the phone number in the communication that had never been dialed, exited several times, clicked in several times, and finally took a deep breath, gritted her teeth slightly, and dialed the number.

After two beeps, she heard Aidou's deep voice: "Hello."

My eyes felt so sore.

Xu Zhaixing raised his hands and covered his eyes tightly, but the corners of his mouth curved up, and his voice was joyful and gentle: "Brother, it's me, Happy New Year."

He smiled and said in a soft voice: "Happy New Year."

Tears flowed between my fingers.

She said excitedly: "Brother, did you watch the Spring Festival Gala? Did you eat dumplings? Did you set off fireworks?"

It was so quiet on the other end that you could even hear his breathing clearly. He answered her softly: "I didn't watch the Spring Festival Gala. I was watching the video of the robot competition. City regulations prohibit fireworks, so I ate dumplings."

Xu Zhaixing covered the receiver with his palm, sniffed, and then put it to his ear again, "What are the fillings of the dumplings? Are they delicious?"

Cen Feng said: "The mushroom filling is not bad."

She asked a few more questions, and he answered them one by one.

It seemed like this was a normal, casual phone call.

The sound of firecrackers outside the house gradually died down, and Xu Zhaixing glanced outside.

There are still unburned fireworks in the night.

She wiped her face haphazardly twice with the back of her hand and tried to keep her voice light: "Brother, in the new year, I hope you will be happy every day, everything will go well, and you will be healthy and everything will be fine!"

The other end was silent for a few seconds, and then laughed.

He said: "Okay, I'll work hard."
