Chapter 192 Each takes what he needs
In the past few days after returning to the capital, Xu Kun quite enjoyed the temptation of uniforms - still wet.
He also read carefully the online article recommended by Liu Haibo. It was indeed quite large. He bought the film and television adaptation rights, filled in some plot points, and modified the lines and flaws. It shouldn't be a problem to make an online drama as a gimmick.
But there was no need for him to handle this matter, he could just leave it to Lao Jia.
According to Lao Jia, LeTV’s process of finding authors to buy copyrights is quite tortuous.
At first, the author of the book suspected that the people at LeTV were joking. Later, when he saw that the other party kept asking for his offline contact information, he simply blocked him on QQ, and then even stopped updating the novel.
Later, I found the person in charge of the website, and then established contact with him.
According to the author's subsequent revelation, the reason why he blocked and stopped updating was that he mistakenly believed that he was being targeted by relevant departments for writing gangster articles. The person who tried to touch his background was probably a plainclothes policeman pretending to be a policeman.
Not to mention being able to write online articles, this is really a big brain.
Xu Kun didn't care about these things. He has been wandering around recently and has initially spread the news that he wants to make a modern drama, but he hasn't received any feedback yet.
On the contrary, Liu Haibo called suddenly and said awkwardly that the heroine of "The Unruly Princess" might be about to become a star, and she would most likely change from the heroine to the second heroine.
This drama is jointly invested by Beijing-based Yahuan Pictures and Guangdong Superstar Pictures. It was Yahuan Pictures who asked Liu Haibo to be the director. It was originally agreed that he would have a certain degree of autonomy in the crew, and they also mentioned signing a contract to cooperate in the future. thing.
That's why Liu Haibo was so confident that he promised the heroine to Jiang Yiyan.
Who would have known that Superstar Pictures would suddenly sign a Korean female star later this year, insisting that she play the heroine, and even said that they could make a Sino-Korean co-production stunt.
Isn’t this just nonsense?
The male lead has already been designated Su Youpeng. This is already a co-production. If you put a woman who can't even speak Chinese into the film, are you trying to step on Guangdian's face and jump left and right? Can't?
Although Liu Haibo didn't have a good impression of Optoelectronics, he still argued against it based on Optoelectronics' regulations.
Unexpectedly, Superstar Pictures came up with a "publicity ambassador" card and said that this Ms. Zhang was the publicity ambassador appointed by the above. With this status endorsement, she could naturally become a special case.
Seeing that the other party was holding a chicken feather as a command arrow, Liu Haibo stopped doing it, saying that this is not just a matter of radio and television regulations, the male lead is appointed by you, the female lead and the second male lead are all related, and now he wants to appoint the female lead. Protagonist, this is completely different from what we promised!
Seeing that the two sides were arguing, people from Yahuan Pictures jumped in to smooth things over and offered to give Liu Haibo some additional pay.
But Liu Haibo still firmly refused, saying that it was not a matter of remuneration, and that he just wanted to get the respect that a director deserves!
In fact, he is not such a face-saving person. He mainly feels that he has lost the heroine and cannot explain himself in front of Xu Kun.
Seeing his resolute attitude, the people from Yahuan Pictures went to negotiate with Superstar Pictures, and finally proposed that in addition to an increase in salary, the second female lead would be freed up for Liu Haibo to make the decision.
People from Superstar Pictures said that this was their bottom line. It was unreasonable for their own artists to be ineligible to participate in the TV series they invested in.
Things are stuck here.
Although Liu Haibo is considered a popular actor now, he is still far from being a great director who can always say the same thing. Although he did not directly compromise due to face, he has actually given up in his heart.
"Kun'er, it's my brother who can't forgive you this time. I'll set up a table later to make amends for you and Yiyan - don't worry, wait until next time. Who dares to steal our role next time? I'm so damned Just follow him!"
"That's not the case."
Xu Kun smiled and said: "We are all in the industry, who doesn't know the difficulties of doing this? Brother Liu, please be down-to-earth. I will meet you for a drink later."
But when he hung up the phone, his expression suddenly darkened.
Liu Haibo is really not to blame for this matter. Under the circumstances where the management forcefully demanded the replacement, he could argue with reason to replace Jiang Yiyan with the second female lead, which is considered to be the most benevolent thing.
But Xu Kun still felt unhappy. It would be fine if he was a big star. Why should a Korean guy who couldn't speak Chinese fluently come up to snatch the heroine?
And what kind of bullshit propaganda ambassador can’t even speak Chinese? What can she know about China? !
The most important thing is that she has eaten up the temptation of this uniform, and when she turns around to tell Jiang Yi, Yan is so happy...
Shake people, you must shake people!
Xu Kun immediately called Ge You. As soon as he told the general story of what happened, he heard Ge You say: "Is the TV series you are talking about called "The Unruly Princess"?"
"Eh?" Xu Kun asked curiously: "Uncle Ge, how do you know?"
"Lu Xing also booked Bai Yunfei, the second male lead of this drama." Ge You explained briefly, and then said: "This matter is actually simple - have you been in contact with Leslie Cheung recently?"
"Yes, I went to pay New Year's greetings to Teacher Zhang a few years ago."
"Then you go directly to him. As long as he is willing to open his mouth about Yahuan Pictures, he can definitely get it done."
Xu Kun inquired carefully and found out that the two most profitable series of Yahuan Pictures were "Kangxi Private Interview in Private" and "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan".
In the latter, Zhang Guoli is the mainstay, and in the former, Zhang Guoli is not only the starring actor but also the director - it can be said that Zhang Guoli is to Yahuan Pictures what Feng Xiaogang is to Huayi.
"Uncle, can Teacher Zhang agree to come forward?"
"You will know if you try it. Maybe you can each get what you need."
Everyone gets what he needs?
How can everyone get what they need?
Xu Kun is a little baffled. Although he has become somewhat famous now, compared with Zhang Guoli, who is at the height of his power, he is completely different.
What can Zhang Guoli do that still needs his help?
Anyway, Ge You finally pointed out a clear path, so Xu Kun called Zhang Yong and asked him to expedite the delivery of some high-end green leafy vegetables from 800 miles away.
Taking advantage of the two Zhongnanhai special supplies he received from Lao Jia, Xu Kun went to Zhang Guoli's house that night.
He had obviously agreed to come to visit in advance, but Xu Kun rang the doorbell for a long time but no one opened the door.
Just as Xu Kun was about to call Zhang Guoli, the door to the room was slowly opened, and Zhang Mo stuck his head in and said with a constipated face: "Come in."
Xu Kun entered the door carrying his things, looked around and asked, "Where is Teacher Zhang?"
"My dad has something to do at the moment, so he asked you to wait at home for a while."
Zhang Mo left this sentence and wanted to hide in his bedroom.
"etc!"
Xu Kun suddenly stopped Zhang Mo, pointed at the sofa and said unquestionably: "Let's sit down and talk."
"What do I have to talk to you about?"
Zhang Mo's face was full of disdain, but he stood still at his feet.
"It's just the two of us in this room now."
Xu Kun's eyes became sharp, but his tone was careless: "If you don't want to sit down and talk, then let's talk in another way."
Zhang Mo's expression changed several times when he heard this, and finally he sat obediently on the corner of the sofa.
After being taught a lesson by Xu Kun, he had been holding a grudge and wanted to go back for revenge, but Xu Kun soon went to Hengdian to film "Heavenly Sword Heroes", which was beyond his reach.
Later, when Xu Kun finished his filming and returned to Beijing, he had already contacted several gangsters, but Xu Kun's "Heroic Past" suddenly broke out on the Internet.
Others were just watching the fun online, but Zhang Mo actually went to Xu Kun's hometown to investigate, and when he came back, he sent those few gangsters away.
He was very skilled and could kill eight people at once. The main reason was that the elders in his hometown unanimously agreed that Xu Kun would really dare to kill someone if he was forced to do anything. Mr. Zhang was just a little stunned, but he was not afraid of death.
And looking at Zhang Mo, who was sitting obediently with a worried look on his face, but trying hard to appear rebellious, Xu Kun roughly guessed what Ge You meant by everyone getting what they need.
Zhang Guoli has been able to overcome all obstacles in these years, but he can't do anything about his only son.
And Xu's ability to train young pricks has been awarded the honorary certification of the No. 1 Prison in HEB Province. Isn't this a professional counterpart?
