Chapter 286 Xu Kong’s own new drama
Facts have proved that Xu Kong's previous idea was wrong.
As an artist, Su Zhi still pays great attention to body management.
I have to say that because the battlefield is in the bathroom, it does save a lot of trouble.
"By the way, my parents may come to Beijing next month..."
Su Zhi suddenly remembered something and spoke.
Xu Kong was stunned for a moment. He went to Su Zhi's hometown during the Chinese New Year.
During this period, Su’s mother added Xu Kong’s contact information.
I sent him several messages later.
Obviously, Xu Kong's role at that time was Su Zhi's suitor.
But the second elder is not stupid, and he can get Su Zhi's nod to go home.
Even if he and his daughter really haven't developed to that point yet, they are definitely different from some other boys.
……
"I guess I'll have joined the crew for filming by then..."
"But I should be able to make time to come back."
Xu Kong did some calculations, and he should also start his next new drama.
And in order to schedule it with Changyun Film and Television's new drama to be aired in September, it is estimated that the intensity and efficiency of the filming must be very high.
"They didn't say they wanted to see you."
"But..."
Su Zhi actually knew very well that although her parents didn't say it explicitly, they already regarded Xu Kong as their future son-in-law.
This time I came to the capital, in addition to seeing her, it was probably also related to Xu Kong.
"Don't worry, it won't waste much time."
Xu Kong replied with a smile.
Although Su Zhi herself has already cleared the game and even unlocked the DLC mode.
But if you are really just a suitor, having the support of your future father-in-law and mother-in-law is definitely a rare treat.
Moreover, Xu Kong also liked Su Zhi's parents. Although they were teachers, they were relatively open-minded.
During the Chinese New Year, we got used to each other quite well.
……
"You, Feng Ge, don't have much influence, right?"
Su Zhi hesitated for a moment, then asked a little worriedly.
Of course she had known for a long time that Xu Kong had become Feng Ge's vice president and one of the company's bosses.
There have been a lot of rumors in the industry recently, and Su Zhi naturally heard some of them.
Especially due to the huge losses of Fengge's new drama, many people have analyzed that when Fengge, once one of the largest film and television companies in the entertainment industry, will collapse, it depends entirely on how much money is left in the account.
"Don't listen to the lies outside."
After Xu Kong made a series of decisions during this period, he was hardly worried about Feng Ge's subsequent development.
After all, Fengge's economic situation is good, and the talent pool is actually not bad at all. There are quite a few potential newcomers in the company.
It's said outside that Fengge is about to go bankrupt.
But Xu Kong himself is quite confident in Fengge's future development.
……
"Song Youyou came to see me once before..."
Su Zhi hesitated for a moment and finally told the matter.
Xu Kong:?
He really didn't know much about it.
But now I am not as worried as before.
After all, Su Zhi had already deceived Youyou before.
The Shura Field that I had been worried about would not appear in a short time.
"About a month ago."
"She came to ask me about my experience in opening my own studio independently."
Su Zhi's answer made Xu Kong stunned for a moment.
By extrapolation, it should have been when Zhu Changyung had just negotiated thoroughly and all the people under Feng Ge's banner were taken away by the other party.
"Could it be?"
Facing Xu Kong's slightly confused eyes, Su Zhi nodded.
"She should be asking for you."
In Song Youyou's place, although Su Zhi and Xu Kong have a good relationship, because of Su Zhi's unrequited love, the relationship between the two cannot be really close.
And with Xu Kong's character, there is a high probability that he would not take the initiative to ask these things.
In other words, Youyou himself was aware of Fengge's situation at that time.
As the daughter of Chairman Song Fuquan, of course it was impossible for her to leave.
But Xu Kong said that if he wanted to have better development in the future, leaving Fengge at that time was indeed the best choice.
Su Zhi has successful experience in operating her own studio independently from the original agency.
Song Youyou obviously hopes that Xu Kong can imitate this approach.
However, Xu Kong suddenly became Feng Ge's second largest shareholder, and the escape route she helped to think of seemed to be of no use.
……
Time has arrived in June, and this year’s summer vacation is about to begin.
At this time, Feng Ge also started to become busy.
Several projects were approved at the same time, and under Xu Kong's instruction, the first consideration was given to selecting actors from within Fengge Company.
The auditions of various crews can be regarded as allowing the young newcomers under the banner who were originally a little worried to let go of some of their original worries.
"Brother Shuang, please make a trip yourself."
Xu Kong still stayed in his personal studio.
Although the company set aside an office for him as the vice president, Xu Kong felt that it was not necessary, so he only went there a few times.
"Everything is trouble, it's all deserved."
"By the way, the script..."
As the actor, Chen Shuang has no airs at all at this moment, but has an impatient expression on his face.
Xu Kong was a little surprised at this time. He didn't expect that he just mentioned that he planned to invite the other party to be the protagonist in this new drama.
Chen Shuang immediately agreed and even hung up the phone and drove over.
In fact, what Xu Kong didn't know was that Chen Shuang had indeed been waiting for a long time.
Because after the filming of "The Long Season" was completed, Xu Kong said that there would be a follow-up drama, which was planned to be a script written specifically for him.
During the process, Chen Shuang waited and waited, and even recommended several scripts. Who knew that Xu Kong would turn around to film "Sweet Honey".
It's been almost a year, and Chen Shuang really doesn't have to worry about scripts now. He took on two movies in the middle, a TV series with the male protagonist, and a movie with the second male lead.
Finally, I waited for a call from Xu Kong himself. For him, of course, he now accepted Xu Kong's invitation without any burden.
After all, after the previous hit of "The Long Season", he no longer has the burden of being a movie actor, and he has absolute trust in the abilities of Xu Kong, a young director.
"The script has been written long ago."
Xu Kong didn't lie either.
After filming "The Long Season", Xu Kong's plan was to continue filming this suspense drama.
It is indeed decided that Chen Shuang will be the starring role.
However, due to the sudden incident involving Guan Dachun, "Sweet Honey" was filmed in advance.
……
""The Hidden Corner"?"
After Chen Shuang took over the script, he started reading it directly.
It feels quite impatient.
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
Mainly because I didn't feel it at the time, but it wasn't until "The Long Season" became a hit.
Later, he also started to come into contact with many web dramas or TV series scripts.
Then I suddenly realized that his idea that there was no big difference between TV series and movies was completely wrong.
In comparison, TV dramas are not as polished as movies due to budget, length and other reasons.
Let alone a script that can match the quality of "The Long Season", it is almost impossible to even see a script with a level of 70 or 80%.
Otherwise, after he became popular again, he would not have received so many scripts and finally reluctantly accepted one.
Even he himself was not so willing.
It was just because the other party's salary was too high and his financial situation was really not very good. After several persuasion from his agent, he took the job.
But recently, Chen Shuang has once again fallen into a situation of "nothing to act in".
There is no way. Sometimes, the position is too high and the pay is not low. On the contrary, it is another kind of restriction.
After solving his somewhat tight financial situation, Chen Shuang was unwilling to accept scripts that he was not interested in or disliked.
After going around and around, it seems that only Xu Kong can see hope.
He didn't even care whether Xu Kong planned to make a movie this time or continue to make TV series. As long as it was directed by Xu Kong, Chen Shuang was quite relieved.
This is based on the new director Xu Kong’s trust in him in all aspects during the original filming.
……
Looking at Chen Shuang who started reading the script directly in his office, Xu Kong was not in a hurry to urge him.
Instead, he was making his next plan while waiting quietly.
"You can indeed see some characteristics of "The Long Season", but the style is completely different."
"This "The Hidden Corner" is darker, and at the same time, the suspenseful atmosphere is created stronger."
"I am completely a villain, but the role of Zhang Dongsheng has a lot to explore. The character is quite full. If I were to play it..."
After reading the script, Chen Shuang began to subconsciously take on the role based on his own habits.
I have to say that he must be quite satisfied with Xu Kong's script this time.
The dramatic conflicts and the direction of the plot of the whole drama are much faster than the slow and gentle pace of "The Long Season".
But the excitement of the story still made Chen Shuang think there was nothing wrong with it.
It is also in line with Xu Kong's very high psychological expectations as a screenwriter.
……
"Director Xu, when will we start shooting? I may need some time to study the script and characters."
Chen Shuang asked directly.
He had originally agreed to take it, but after reading the script, he completely let go of his last worry.
It seems that although there seems to be some unrest in Feng Ge recently, Xu Kong's talent and creative ability have not been greatly affected.
"The filming cycle of this drama is relatively short. It may have to be completed around August at the latest, which means the filming cycle is estimated to be only about a month in total."
Xu Kong revealed his plan.
"The time was really tight..."
"But as far as I'm concerned, there should be no problem."
Although Chen Shuang doesn't know if his agent will arrange some activities for him in the future, at this time, he thinks that his own wishes are still the main priority in terms of schedule.
……
After talking about some ideas about the new drama "The Hidden Corner", Xu Kong suddenly remembered something, and then asked:
"By the way, Brother Shuang, I remember you don't have a management company?"
Chen Shuang didn't expect Xu Kong to ask this, but he nodded anyway.
“In recent years, all my acting and activities have been handled by my studio’s agents.”
"I'm mainly used to freedom and don't like too much restraint."
Of course Chen Shuang knew that Xu Kong's purpose in saying this was simply to invite him to join Fengge.
He also knew that Xu Kong was now the vice president of Fengge, and even the boss of the second largest shareholder.
Regarding this, Chen Shuang was naturally unwilling.
The reason he said is that on the one hand, and on the other hand, after joining the company, he can no longer be so willful.
For example, before, for several years in a row, I didn't film a single movie. If there was an agency, there was a high probability that they wouldn't agree.
……
"Okay..."
Xu Kong didn't intend to force the other party.
Although Feng Ge is indeed short of people now.
Especially actors like Chen Shuang, who has passable acting skills and is a good actor in all aspects.
What Xu Kong hopes is to have an actor like Chen Shuang to help him guide the new people in the company.
Because of the previous "The Long Season", Xu Kong also knew how much he could learn from these terrifying actors with high acting skills. This is far more effective than taking any acting class.
"The main follow-up to Feng Ge is a lot of film and television projects, all of which are scripts written by me. Many of the roles are suitable for you, Brother Shuang."
Xu Kong said without hiding anything.
"Did you write the script yourself?"
Chen Shuang was stunned for a moment.
Then I realized that Xu Kong's current identity was different after all.
Coupled with Fengge's current situation, some roles are certainly expected to be given to artists under his own company.
This is considered an informal decision and is also based on company development considerations.
If Xu Kong was just a director, he wouldn't have to think so much.
"Join Feng Ge..."
Chen Shuang was really moved for a moment.
The main reason is that only by actually working together can we know the level of scripts written by Xu Kong, even if he is just an ordinary screenwriter.
