Chapter 338 Am I short of money too? (Supplement)
The "celestial being" in Lu Jiu's mouth is back.
Such a long period of high-intensity work made her look uncontrollably exhausted.
Ever since, after she came back, she stayed at Xu Xiyu's house without leaving or taking a step forward. She would lie down after eating, and after lying down, she would eat and live a "fat house" life, waiting for Xu Xiyu to take a vacation so that she could go home with him. .
No, she is not at Xu Xiyu's house.
To be precise, it was her own home. Because the house Xu Xiyu lives in now belongs to her. It turned out that she lived with her mother in another villa in the same community.
Now, her mother has been sent abroad by her.
In her words, that is: "She keeps talking about foreign young men in my ears every day. She likes foreign young men so much. Find them by yourself and don't get involved with me."
Yes, Mr. Ke is so domineering.
If it were Lu Qinyao, I can't imagine how troublesome and confusing it would be.
Speaking of which, Xu Xiyu thought about buying a house, and he felt that it was time for him to buy a house.
But he was too lazy to move.
So, several times, he asked Ke Xinying if she could sell him the house at the market price.
Ke Xinying’s answer was the same every time. She said half-jokingly: “Let’s get a certificate some other day, and this house will be used as a dowry.”
After talking about this kind of thing too much, Xu Xiyu didn't bother to mention buying this house anymore.
It's not that he rejects the relationship with Ke Xinying, but he doesn't want to ask for Ke Xinying's house so shamelessly.
So, he simply thought about making more money and buying a better and bigger one.
However, the house is not an urgent need for him at the moment. Therefore, I have no motivation to think about this matter. I am busy and forget about it.
It's the kind of person who keeps saying he wants to buy a house from time to time, but never actually takes action.
But the only constant in this world is that things are always changing.
During this period, Xu Xiyu suddenly realized that his parents might come to the capital to find him in the future, or even live with him in the capital.
In this case, it may not be convenient if you don’t own real estate.
Moreover, he doesn't like living with his parents, whether they are Blue Star's parents or Earth's parents.
As a result, he started to think about buying a house again, and he wanted to buy a few more houses just in case of emergencies.
If something happens and it's inconvenient where you live now and your parents live in another place, you have to have somewhere to go, right?
For example, if Lu Qinyao comes to the capital.
You can’t always stay in a hotel, right?
This is not safe.
With this idea, Xu Xiyu arranged for someone to pay attention to the real estate matter for him.
After noticing, I discovered that houses in the capital were extremely expensive, and I didn't seem to have that much money to spend on buying so many houses.
very good.
The pressure is on.
The fighting spirit and enthusiasm for doing work came up instantly.
With this "motivation" and nearly two months of hard work and preparation.
Xu Xiyu's work performance is quite impressive.
In terms of movies, after "Infernal Affairs" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "The Intouchables" was successfully launched again.
The core protagonist has been determined, with the high-level paraplegic rich girl Yu Yuyu playing the role, and the caregiver naturally being played by Lu Qinyao.
Both of their acting skills are quite good, so there is no pressure when they act.
As for the male protagonist Wang Duoyu in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", he is the actor Wang Pengpeng who played Ma Jack in "The Annual Party Can't Stop". The heroine is Li Shanling.
That's right, it's Li Shanling.
She talked to Xu Xiyu some time ago and expressed her demands directly, hoping that Xu Xiyu could give her a chance. Moreover, he also gave Xu Xiyu some hints in this regard.
But Xu Xiyu ignored her hint.
However, the role of Xia Zhu was still given to her.
Because she is a well-known actress, playing the female lead is a good thing for "The Richest Man in Xihong City". The male and female protagonists of the movie need familiar faces.
Although Wang Pengpeng has gained a certain reputation after starring in "The Annual Party Can't Stop", one movie is not enough to support his celebrity status.
She is a complete newcomer in the film industry. If she doesn't star in one or two movies to consolidate, it will be difficult for her to carry the box office like Shen Teng.
Therefore, if Wang Pengpeng is asked to play the female lead with a newcomer from Huaqing.
It would be difficult to promote the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
Li Shanling is different. She left Huaqing and now comes back, which brings topics in itself.
Moreover, if she is not allowed to play the role, then the Taiwanese side will consider using a Taiwanese actress to play the female lead. 10 years ago, this would have been nothing.
But everyone knows what is going on on the island now, and Xu Xiyu really doesn't want to take this risk, because the position of the people there is really unpredictable. If something goes wrong one day, it will be troublesome.
After talking about movies and TV series, Xu Xiyu also established three projects with Yang Xueqing.
Three projects, each with its core purpose.
Let’s talk about the first one, which is used to praise the newcomers, Li Qiyang and Gu Lixiati, who are favored by Yang Xueqing.
Since we are promoting newcomers, it is definitely not worthwhile to incur large costs directly.
Based on this consideration, a drama king immediately popped up in Xu Xiyu's mind, and that drama was called "The Beginning". Counting over the past few years, there is no show that has been more popular for newcomers than this show.
It's short, concise, good-looking, has a great reputation, and the cost is still low.
In order to increase the topicality, Xu Xiyu also asked Zhang Wenyan to play the keen criminal police captain Zhang Cheng. With his evolved acting skills, I believe he can perform this role with great flavor.
The second project is to maintain Yang Xueqing's own popularity.
Although she wholeheartedly wants to be a boss, she can't imitate Ke Xinying. Ke Xinying can completely quit the entertainment industry now, but she can't.
Therefore, Xu Xiyu originally decided to film "Do You Know Should You Be Green, Fat, Red, and Thin?" This drama can be said to be a "senior care drama" for many people.
The most important thing is that there are enough episodes.
The more episodes you have, the easier it will be to sell them for money.
There are many actors that can be arranged.
A 12-episode show like "The Beginning" can sell like crazy, but it can't sell as well as "Knowledge".
But the problem is that because there are too many episodes, and the show also has some female-oriented meanings, Xu Xiyu has only watched it once, and he can only remember the general plot and some outstanding moments.
In this case, he can only tell other screenwriters his ideas. Let them write a notebook. If the writing is okay, then they will take pictures when the next project is approved.
And he turned around and picked up another popular drama that he watched several times and could remember more of the content. The play is called "Langya Bang", and Yang Xueqing is arranged to play the role of Princess Nihuang.
Therefore, "Nirvana in Fire" is Xuejian's second project. This drama has 54 episodes. It is also a big drama, and the production cycle will not be short.
As for the third project, it has multiple purposes.
First of all, it is to try what Hu Ningtian said, facing the international market.
Secondly, Xu Xiyu wanted to test his ability to localize adaptations of foreign dramas.
Finally, let’s see if we can give Lu Qinyao a post-viewing award.
In fact, you can definitely get it, because Xu Xiyu has opened up all the ways. It’s hard to say which Feitian Award will be given. Anyway, among the Golden Eagle and Magnolia, at least one must be given to Lu Qinyao. If I don’t give it this time, I will give it next time.
It's like the Academy Awards, Golden Rooster Awards, and Golden Horse Awards have been booked by Xu Xiyu.
When capital is sometimes so "urinary", if Xu Xiyu transfers the benefits, the recipients of the benefits must be rewarded.
Of course, Lu Qinyao didn't know all this.
Xu Xiyu will also try his best to hide it from her, and some things will change when she knows them.
Based on the above purposes.
Xu Xiyu's third TV series is adapted from the high-scoring American drama "Westworld".
Anyone who has watched "Westworld" should know this. This drama tells the story of a company that built a huge high-tech adult theme park in the future world.
Here, a human-like machine "receptionist" plays the role of NPC, providing tourists with the indulgence of lust, violence and other desires.
After the story began, the heroine and some of the robots awakened themselves and began to resist.
Of course, in the context of China, the world of Western cowboys is really out of place.
Therefore, Xu Xiyu changed the background.
Precisely because of the change, Xu Xiyu is not sure whether this drama will be a hit.
However, even if he does pounce, he can accept it.
Anyway, with "The Beginning" and "Nirvana in Fire" supporting it, there are only ten episodes of "Westworld". It won't really have much impact on Xuejian Pictures.
At most, someone will take the opportunity to blackmail Xu Xiyu.
But it won't last long, because there are still two trump cards in Xu Xiyu's hand.
The first one is a project of Dual Phantom.
That's right, after 10 days of negotiations, this company finally reached a shareholding cooperation plan with Hua Qing and Xiao Moss.
Among them, Xiao Moss plans to buy 45% of the equity, Huaqing plans to buy 35%, and the remaining 20% is left to the founding team.
Of course, the current acquisition is still going through the process.
But the project is already advancing. This project is "Wall-E", but Xu Xiyu named him "WALL-E".
This movie is awesome. It beat "Kung Fu Panda" to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.
When it was released in 2008, it grossed US$520 million at the global box office. It can be said to be one of Pixar's best works, with both box office and word-of-mouth success.
The second trump card is the novel "The Three-Body Problem". Xu Xiyu feels that he will write it next year. If he doesn't write it, it will be too late.
He must film the "Three-Body" TV series.
But this TV series would indeed be inferior if it didn’t have a novel as its background.
To sum up, last year was Hua Qing’s small test of its skills.
In the next year or so, Hua Qing will take off vigorously. He will want Hua Qing's excellent works to continue to exist on the market, one after another.
Only in this way can Hua Qing, or himself, other practitioners and companies, completely reach a new level.
This is important, this is his talisman.
Therefore, even if the project schedule is so full, Xu Xiyu still has some spare time to prepare just in case.
