"Good morning, Director Xu."

"Good morning, little Simba."

With Xin Rou's resentment expression, Xu Wenruo entered the lounge with a familiarity. It was already half a month since the first episode of "I Am an Actor".

During this period, while Xu Wenruo recorded a variety show, he also completed the post-production of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". All five of them were produced in total, and this magical drama also ended in Xu Wenruo's hands.

When Xu Wenruo handed over the film to Xingxun Video, the staff there informed him that the promotional work of "Grave Robbers Season 2" has begun.

Xingxun Video's action is still very fast. After reviewing the quality of the over-the-season web dramas, they directly formulated a plan to play the second season in the near future. The subsequent three seasons are divided into three years to play, which will last for a long time and form a word-of-mouth effect.

Even if all the screenings are completed at once, it will make the audience very satisfied, but when they are finished at once, they will definitely fall into emptiness, which is not very good for the development of the platform.

One season of each year can not only maintain the topic, but also help the promotion of online dramas. I believe that in three years, the number of views and topics of "Grave Robbers Season 5" will definitely be a terrifying data.

Xu Wenruo has given all the rights to distribution and promotion to Xingxun Video, but he is still very concerned about the news that the online drama will be launched. In addition to reminding Qi Yue to pay more attention to the bills of Xingxun Video, Xu Wenruo also wants to know what the audience's evaluation of the first season is.

The reason for paying attention to the bill is very simple, and it is necessary to be cautious. Even though Xingxun Video and Xu Wenruo have a very harmonious relationship, even when Xu Wenruo faces crisis, Xingxun Video can take Xu Wenruo as a move, but in order not to cause friction in the future, the conflict must be strangled in the cradle.

Xu Wenruo's thoughts kept surging, but soon the recording of the fifth episode of "I Am an Actor" was about to begin. Under the leadership of Xin Rou, he came to the recording site.

After several rounds of competition, only half of the actors left on the field, with little popularity and no acting skills, all of them have disappeared. Not to mention the superb acting skills, the rest are at least considered to be of a favor to the audience.

Xu Wenruo's optimistic about Meng Da and Ning Jun were all stayed, of course, Xu Wenruo was indispensable to helping them stand up. Xu Wenruo praised the acting skills of these two people more than once and helped them vote for the audience account.

Meng Da and Ning Jun were also very grateful to Xu Wenruo. After all, they were almost not acting but popularity. If it weren't for Xu Wenruo, they might have a crisis of being eliminated.

"Director Xiao Xu, what are you thinking about the script I handed you over a few days ago?"

As soon as Xu Wenruo sat down in the judges' seat, Zhou Hong turned around and looked at him. At this time, the show was not ready, and several directors would chat for a while. Of course, this did not include Xu Wenruo and Wang Tie. They were both old and desperate.

"I don't feel that I'm very suitable. Don't look at me as young as I'm, but I can no longer play the role of a high school student."

Xu Wenruo once again declined Zhou Hong. He was really not interested in youth idol dramas. Even though Zhou Hong's script was not so bloody, it was full of inspirational and nostalgia.

"That's a pity. Let's work together again in the future. By the way, you can also contact me when you need to find a role in the future. I know many excellent actresses."

Zhou Hong looked at Xu Wenruo meaningfully. Even if Xu Wenruo rejected her again, Zhou Hong was not angry. Instead, she wanted to match Xu Wenruo.

"Thank you, Director Zhou Hong. Maybe I'll trouble you in the future. I really don't know many actors."

"I have to thank you. I'm worried about these little actors. Each of them is like my daughter. Alas, maybe it's the debt I owed in my previous life."

After Zhou Hong said that, she shook her head. Xu Wenruo looked at her with an unexpected look. Xu Wenruo thought Zhou Hong was just a few polite words, but she didn't expect that Zhou Hong would show her true feelings.

Xu Wenruo didn't ask much, because the show started recording soon. After entering the fifth episode, the competition among actors has become very fierce, and every actor doesn't want to leave. So not only does he confront him when performing on stage, but his relationship in private has become very poor.

The performances on the stage cannot determine the outcome, but the small movements off the stage are carried out one after another. Sarcastic mockery of two sarcastic sentences are nothing, and even some tricks are used in rehearsals of lyrics.

For example, let the pigeons be placed at the agreed rehearsal time, so that the actors who play opposite him wait for a few more hours for no reason.

For example, when you are in the lyrics, there is no emotional fluctuation at all, but when you arrive on the stage, you are fully in full force and catch the opposite actor off guard.

In order to advance, many actors tried their best, and this situation gradually evolved into the norm. Many viewers said that the behind-the-scenes were better than the main film.

When Xu Wenruo saw this situation, he seemed to remember the days of the training camp, but the methods of the players in the training camp were still very immature and were much different from the qualities of these professional actors.

Xu Wenruo was not interested in participating in this intrigue situation. Originally, Xu Wenruo thought that this show would be a place to compete and compete in acting. As it turned out, he was overthinking. Most actors came here not to prove their acting skills, but to attract some popularity through the show.

Even if there is negative popularity, as long as it can be improved, they will flock to it. The entertainment industry is a circle of seniority. If there is no talent and ability beyond ordinary people, it will be very difficult to move forward.

Moreover, the two-level differentiation in the circle is also very serious. The resources of big stars are inexhaustible and useless. They can choose resources at their heart.

But the situations that 18th-tier stars need to face are completely different. They must compete with others for resources like a mad dog, and every bone with meat is delicious to them.

Xu Wenruo understood the feelings of these actors to stay, but he was completely uninterested in these mischievous things. So while completing the recording of the program seriously, Xu Wenruo was already thinking about his future development.

First of all, Xu Wenruo plans to make a movie, a movie that can be used in theaters, rather than a web drama that can only be released on Xingxun Video.

Even though Xu Wenruo has filmed a classic online drama, in the eyes of others, Xu Wenruo is still just an online drama director. Even if no one denies Xu Wenruo's talent, he does not recognize Xu Wenruo's status very much.

Just so happens that Xu Wenruo also had the idea of ​​making a big screen. After all, movies are the highest stage in the entertainment industry, and everyone wants to get to this supreme point, so Xu Wenruo is no exception.

If you want to make a movie, you must first polish a script. The script of the movie is not as general as the TV series. It must be short and concise.

After all, the plot with two hours can't accommodate too much content, but it can't be too empty. The plot must be ups and downs, which is much higher than the requirements of a TV series.

Of course, Xu Wenruo has the script of the movie. After all, there is a world behind him as a backing. What makes Xu Wenruo feel embarrassed is that he is trapped in the difficulty of choice.

Since there are countless classic films, Xu Wenruo didn't know which one should choose, but he is not in a hurry now and has plenty of time to choose.

This month later, Xu Wenruo looked at Meng Da who said goodbye to everyone on the stage with a sad smile. A hint of inspiration suddenly flashed in Xu Wenruo's heart. He thought of what movie he should make.

Speaking of movies, Xu Wenruo's memory cannot avoid Stephen Chow. This young man surnamed Zhou contracted all the happy times when Xu Wenruo was young.

Even if you look back at these films from 20 or 30 years ago again, you can still get joy from them. The title of King of Comedy is really not a waste of time.

After making a decision in his heart, Xu Wenruo of course wanted to keep Meng Da. He first asked Xin Rou to pay attention to Meng Da's whereabouts, and then rushed to Meng Da's front as soon as the program was recorded.

"I'm here to fulfill my promise. Are you interested in working with me to shoot a movie?"

"Of course, I definitely want to. I thought you were joking with me before."

Meng Da touched the back of his head with a honest smile on his face. This time, the show made him realize the cruelty of reality. An actor like him who has no appearance is completely insufficient to go out and rely on acting skills alone.

You should know that Meng Da has two lives. Xu Wenruo gave him the right to resurrection once, but he was still eliminated twice.

Meng Da, who was a little depressed, never expected that Xu Wenruo would attach so much importance to him and even invite him again, which was a very rare thing for a director.

Meng Da never felt that he was Zhuge Wolong. He needed Liu Bei to visit the cottage three times before he could come out. Being able to get the appreciation of a genius director like Xu Wenruo was already very happy for Meng Da, who had been up and down for half his life.

"Director Xu, you can notify me directly when the shooting is done. I'll be on call."

"Just recently, after I finish recording this program, I will prepare for the crew immediately and the filming will start soon. You must be mentally prepared."

"Preparation? I want to prepare something, you said, I will definitely do it."

Meng Da looked confused, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity, so when he heard Xu Wenruo say he wanted to prepare, Meng Da suddenly became nervous.

"It's very simple. Do you still remember the exaggerated performance form we filmed Journey to the West? Go back and think about it carefully. This is the style of my new film."

"I understand, I'll go back and study it carefully."

After Xu Wenruo sent Meng Da away, he immediately began to organize the script, and also reported the progress to Senior Sister Qi Yue, asking her to start responsible for preparing for the crew's preliminary work.

For Xu Wenruo, preparing for the crew is no longer a difficult task. After all, Xu Wenruo has experience after getting familiar with each other.

But movies are not as simple as shooting. The most important thing is the number of screenings after going to theaters. It is not that you can get a lot of filming by saying that your movie is good.

In many cases, theaters are screening for films by looking at faces. For example, some well-known directors and superstars with box office appeal, and movies involving these people can easily get a large number of films.

If there are some movies made by small-cost, small actors and new directors, they can gradually increase the number of screens unless the reputation in the later stage explodes. It is very difficult to schedule the screens in the early stage.

In this case, some large distribution companies have been spawned, and they rely on their relationship with theaters to extract the benefits of movies.

For example, a movie with a box office of 100 million yuan can eventually be distributed to the film company only 30% of the profit, that is, 30 million yuan. In a sense, a movie with a box office of 30 million yuan can only be repaid if it invests 100 million yuan.

Therefore, studios like Xu Wenruo with no background, let alone whether the movies they shoot can be used in theaters. Even if they can be used, the number of screenings will definitely be outrageous.

It may even be exploited by the issuing company. If it is backed by a large company and has strong strength and can intimidate the issuing power, it will definitely be able to maintain a 30% share, but like Xu Wenruo, it will definitely be continuously suppressed.

In this regard, Huayi Media is a big player. It is a very large distribution company and has a very good relationship with many theaters. If they say hello, Xu Wenruo's movies may not be ranked.

Faced with this situation, Xu Wenruo could not be careless. He did not want the movie he had worked hard to make, but he could only be released on Xingxun Video in the end. Even though online movies are booming now, there is still a huge gap between this and theater movies that are visible to the naked eye.

After hearing Xu Wenruo's thoughts, Qi Yue had no trouble in her heart. If Xu Wenruo suddenly told her one day that she would build a rocket to go to Mars, Qi Yue would not be too suspicious, because she had been numbed by Xu Wenruo's idea of ​​breaking away.

"We don't have any theater relationship, and it's very difficult to release and release a movie."

Qi Yue's tone seemed a little low. She knew the problem, so she seemed very guilty, but Xu Wen's personality was not retreating if she had faced difficulties.

"I remember that Xingxun Co., Ltd. also has a film and television company. Can you cooperate with them?"

"Starxun Pictures is not very strong. They are just just entering the industry and are currently in a difficult situation. The most important thing is that Starxun Pictures does not have theaters unless you want to release movies on Starxun Video."

"No, there is still a chance. First of all, our relationship with Xingxun collective is pretty good. At least we can rely on relationships. As long as we can recruit Xingxun Group, we will have the capital to negotiate with several major theaters."

"It's better to find a way to make Xingxun Video invest some money and tie them firmly to our chariots."
