Chapter 328 The investment wizard is so smart
Three days later.
Cheng Guangzu, together with Yongsheng's group who came from behind, left the capital with satisfaction.
They have to go back and prepare for casting.
Speaking of casting, Xu Xiyu also reminded them to find two young Xiangjiang actors with good image, good character and good acting skills to play the young Chen Yongren and the young Liu Jianming.
It's hard for newcomers in Hong Kong Entertainment to make their mark these days. With these two roles, the two newcomers may become familiar with each other. As for whether they can mix up in the future, it depends on their luck.
Xu Xiyu even talked about how to seamlessly connect the different age groups of the two characters through the lens language of "photography".
To be honest, this scene in "Infernal Affairs" is still very classic.
For this, Cheng Guangzu naturally expressed his gratitude again and again.
If Xu Xiyu hadn't reminded them, they might not have done this, and most likely they would have chosen to let the actors use makeup to distinguish between young and middle-aged people.
All in all, "Infernal Affairs" has officially entered the preparation stage from now on. Also entering the preparation stage is "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
During these three days, Xu Xiyu communicated with the two film partners on projects.
As the co-producer of the two projects, Lu Qinyao was naturally involved in the entire communication process. Because of this, her status in the circle has skyrocketed.
However, communication will definitely not be completed in three days. For the remaining docking matters, Gong Lingyun will come forward on Xiao Moss' side, and Qiao Shuangshuang will come forward on Hua Qing's side.
Time passed like this day by day. Xu Xiyu began to prepare for other projects, including TV series.
Busy and busy, Xu Xiyu spent his second New Year's Day at Blue Star.
It was at this time that the promotion of Hua Qing's last movie "The Annual Party Can't Stop" finally started.
It is different from when "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was released, Xu Xiyu found various opportunities to promote it.
He did not get involved in the promotion of the movie "The Annual Party Can't Stop", but left the entire process to the company's publicity and distribution department.
The capabilities of each Huaqing department also need to be verified and improved.
To be honest, "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" has a very good publicity foundation.
First of all, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is the best, and the audience currently has some filters for the movies produced by Xu Xiyu;
Secondly, Donghai Media, which likes to cause trouble, has too much time to take care of itself. It means that no one will do anything dirty to "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop". At most, some sunspots are working tirelessly to do so.
Thirdly, it is the end of the year, and companies have most likely begun preparing for annual meetings, so the atmosphere is just right.
If these three foundations are in place, the publicity and distribution department still cannot make this movie popular. Then Xu Xiyu will consider changing the leadership of this department.
After all, as Huaqing develops, it will invest in and participate in more and more projects in the future.
Not only that, there will definitely be people like Ji Libo who have creative ideas on hand.
If the idea is good, Xu Xiyu has no reason not to invest. After all, such a large company cannot rely on him alone to provide content.
To sum up, it is true that he did not pay too much attention to the progress of "The Annual Meeting Cannot Stop".
But this kind of "letting go" behavior made Yu Yuyu quit. This was her first movie starring a female protagonist.
Ever since, she went to Xu Xiyu's office to cheat.
Seeing her almost lying on the ground and rolling around, Xu Xiyu said helplessly: "No, Miss, you are being unreasonable and unreasonable. I have told you that there will be no problem with this movie."
When Yu Yuyu heard this, she lay down on the sofa, looked at the ceiling with a helpless expression and said, "I don't know what to do. What do you think we will do if the box office collapses?"
"It can't collapse. Take a step back and say, even if it does collapse, I will be the one who loses money and is laughed at by black people. Why are you worried so much?" Xu Xiyu couldn't laugh or cry.
"It's just because I'm afraid that you will be counterattacked by the sunspots, so I'm worried. If it was really my own investment, I wouldn't be so stressed." Yu Yuyu said with a grimace.
After saying that, before Xu Xiyu could reply, she continued: "Do you think it would have been safer if a beautiful actress played the heroine in this movie?"
Xu Xiyu was startled by these words.
That's not right.
He clearly remembered that this girl Yu Yuyu was extremely confident in her appearance.
Why are you saying such low self-esteem now?
Thinking of this, he asked: "Xiaoyu, did someone say something to you? Did someone say you weren't pretty enough?"
Hearing this, Yu Yuyu did not reply, but continued to stare at the ceiling with some sadness.
She has been in the entertainment industry for more than a year. In this year, she has seen a lot of beauties. Among the newcomers in Guanghuaqing, there are quite a few good ones.
Standing with them, no matter what angle you look at it, you can't compare.
But most of them are still the same age as him, so it's hard to find an excuse.
Forget it, I don't have much contact with these people anyway, and I spend more time running my own Tianxing Foundation.
But since the promotional video of "The Annual Party Can't Stop" was released.
There are many people on the Internet saying [Three fishes can also play the heroine? 】【The heroine's dignity made me instantly lose interest in this movie】[The heroine is too common, why should she play the role? ] and the like.
There were even some people around me who made me consider fine-tuning my face.
This reminded her of the time when she first became popular.
There are also many people who have judged their appearance, and most of them are of the same sex.
On the contrary, most of the boys who pay attention to themselves say something like "rich woman, give me a chance, I don't want to work hard anymore". These things made Yu Yuyu, who was already a little worried about appearance, even worse.
Thinking of this, she sighed and said: "Brother, do you think I'm not suitable for the entertainment industry?"
"That's true." Xu Xiyu nodded.
These words made Yu Yuyu stand up instantly and said with an expression full of disbelief: "Aren't you a warm man? How did such cold words come out of your mouth?"
"Didn't you keep telling me that your talent lies in business and that you are a rising star in the business world? Didn't you also ask me not to disturb you or ask you to act in a movie?" Xu Xiyu suppressed a smile.
"I...but...eh?" Yu Yuyu was a little confused by these words and stuttered for a long time.
He also boasted: "My investments have indeed been successful. Xiaojiang's sales have exploded; I have also saved Yu Meijing's sales; the stock price of the Huaqing stock I hold has also gone crazy. I am indeed a business wizard." What!
Let me tell you, I recently invested in a game development company with no money. They are making our country's first 3A game, a Journey to the West theme. Just wait, it will definitely sell out by then. ”
Xu Xiyu was startled when he heard this, a 3A game, a Journey to the West theme?
At this moment, Xu Xiyu thought of a game he had been looking forward to but had traveled through time before he could play it - "Black Myth: Wukong".
If Yu Yuyu really invests in the twin brothers from Blue Star, it may really be sold out.
Damn it, is it possible that this girl is really a business wizard with such a unique vision?
etc.
Xu Xiyu suddenly had an idea and said: "Hey, Xiaoyu, are you interested in playing a guest role in my new movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City". This character is called Da Smart and he is an investment wizard."
"What a great cleverness, it doesn't sound like a compliment."
"What's that word?" Xu Xiyu suppressed her laughter and asked Yu Yuyu to play the role of the wise man. The effect was explosive. When she first debuted as an Internet celebrity, her character was that of a rich second generation who cheated her father.
So, he continued: "You are going to make a guest appearance. After the guest appearance is over, I will arrange a female lead for you to star with your sister Qin Yao and play the daughter of a wealthy family in Hong Kong. You are acting in your true colors and there is no pressure."
"No, I won't go. They all say I'm ugly. I'll never act again!!" Yu Yuyu finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and she sat on the sofa with a deflated mouth, looking like she was about to cry.
"Look at you, how can you take someone's words seriously and take them seriously? There are so many people online cursing me every day, look at when I have ever paid attention to them."
"How can it be the same? Everyone scolds you, but no one says you are ugly." Yu Yuyu muttered.
"Then can you tell me that I'm enjoying myself?" Xu Xiyu leaned back and teased.
"What's the point of deceiving yourself? You are indeed handsome, but it's a pity that you are a big scumbag."
"Hey, I'm not trashing you. Where did you get so many opinions?"
"You want to be beautiful, but you still scumbag me? How can I be fooled by you? I'm not a lover, huh~~" Yu Yuyu folded her hands on her chest and said arrogantly with a twist of her head.
Not to mention, after a few jokes like this, she felt much better.
Once she was in a good mood, she returned to the topic and said: "No, no, you have to help promote the "Annual Meeting Can't Stop"."
"I...hey, okay, okay, you go back first, I will definitely find a way."
"Really?"
"You don't believe me?"
"That won't happen. I doubt anyone can doubt you." Yu Yuyu said and jumped up from the sofa.
Then she chatted with Xu Xiyu for a few more words, and then skipped out of the office.
Looking at her leaving figure, Xu Xiyu sighed that it was great to be young, while thinking about how to add a wave of enthusiasm to the promotion of "The Annual Meeting Cannot Stop".
After thinking about this for a while, he got up and walked to the door.
Then he opened the door and said to Shan Xinbao: "Xinbao, please take turns calling Wan Tu, Guangying, Bernard, Jiahe, and Yongsheng.
I just said that my new movie "The Annual Party Can't Stop" will be screened soon, and invited their available artists to come and attend our first screening. ”
"Okay." When Shan Xinbao heard this, he made an OK gesture.
After giving the instructions, Xu Xiyu closed the door again, but quickly opened it and said, "Also, help me invite someone else."
"Who?" Shan Xinbao said and picked up the pen directly.
"How about inviting Ji Libo over? Tao Mingzhou used to be his assistant director. Now that his old partner's movie is released, he has to come over to support him, right?" Xu Xiyu said with a smile.
Ever since Tao Mingzhou left Ji Libo, this grandson has been criticizing Tao Mingzhou on various occasions.
"Then why don't we invite some more artists from Huaqing over the East China Sea?"
"No." Xu Xiyu shook his head. He didn't really want to continue dealing with these people.
However, precisely because of Shan Xinbao's reminder, the sisters Li Shanngling and Li Shangrong suddenly appeared in Xu Xiyu's mind.
Forget it, say hello to them too, leave two tickets, if they are willing to come, then come.
Thinking of this, he came up with another idea: "By the way, let Xuanfa think of a way to hold a lottery and get some tickets for the screening to be given to Xiaoyu's Da Heizi.
Let them see in person how big Xiaoyu's face is, so that they can save themselves from being a keyboard warrior behind the screen every day, and don't even look at what they look like, looking ugly this way or that all day long. ”
Although Yu Yuyu looks average, she is really a good person, and her acting skills are also good.
As an actor, good acting skills have already fulfilled her duty. She is not like some people on earth who are obviously average-looking but have poor acting skills, yet they still sell the persona of "big beauty".
It really shouldn't be said like that.
