Chapter 315: Let Zhu Changyun jump into action
Zhu Yu really didn't expect it, because Minmin never told her this before.
And usually, she would only try to experience the small toys Xu Kong gave her until she was sure that Zhu Min was asleep or not at home.
In the final analysis, it was because of Xu Kong.
Ever since this guy started to get more and more aggressive, she really started to feel like she couldn't go back.
After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Before, she just felt that there was nothing wrong with actually having enough food and clothing by herself.
But now, I have indeed discovered that there is still a big difference between the two.
In addition to Xu Kong's filming this time, the two of them did not have a chance to meet each other for almost two months.
He probably was too careless one day and was discovered by his daughter.
……
"Sister Yu, I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it."
"When you are usually like that, you still call me by my name?"
After Zhu Yu heard Xu Kong's joking words, her face suddenly turned redder.
Obviously, Xu Kong grasped some key points very keenly.
"None of your business..."
Although Zhu Yu answered this way.
But the tone was not convincing at all. Xu Kongyu's voice was so small that he would not be able to hear it clearly if he was not close at this time.
"Don't worry, if I have time recently, I will go home and play with Minmin throughout the day."
Xu Kong's words were emphasized throughout the day.
As for what he said in the evening, although he didn't say it, it was impossible for Zhu Yu not to understand what the other party meant.
"No!"
Although Zhu Yu has now gradually accepted Xu Kong's harassment from time to time.
But he still refused without any hesitation.
However, Xu Kong said thoughtfully:
"Then I'll go tell Minmin and tell her that you won't let me go over and play with her."
There was no way, it was clear that Xu Kong now knew more and more how to handle her.
In desperation, Zhu Yu could only roll her eyes at the other person and said nothing more.
It is impossible to agree directly, but generally speaking, it is not a very strong refusal, which is equivalent to acquiescence to Zhu Yu.
……
For Xu Kong, he really liked the way he would tease Zhu Yu from time to time, and the other person would blush and say nothing.
This is also a special point about Zhu Yu.
If it were someone else, such as Youyou or Shang Yuxin, it might not be said that they were blushing or shy.
It is estimated that he has already begun to actively wait for Xu Kong's next move in a cooperative manner.
"By the way, Sister Yu, is there any news from Changyun Film and Television?"
Xu Kong is actually not a well-informed person, strictly speaking.
Especially considering his current status, he is a little too unconcerned about various happenings in the entertainment industry.
However, although he is already a boss, Xu Kong knows his true identity very well.
In the final analysis, although many future plans including Fengge and Fengqing Entertainment were decided by him alone.
But when it came to management and some execution matters, Xu Kong knew very well that they were not his areas of expertise.
Leaving it to trustworthy and professional people is the best choice.
Therefore, except for the large-scale reform of the film and television and artist departments at the beginning, and after deciding on the main development direction in the future, Xu Kong actually did not pay attention to every detail.
They delegate power very directly and hand it over to senior managers like Zhu Yu.
……
"Recently, Changyun Film and Television's new drama is expected to be broadcast, and we are discussing copyright issues with major platforms..."
Zhu Yu really knows some news.
Although her workload is not particularly heavy now.
But he is indeed the leader of the entire Feng Ge Artist Department.
However, Zhu Yu has her own ideas and methods in management.
Except for some things that need to be done personally, it will not be said that all the rights are completely concentrated in one's own hands.
More about how to use some middle managers who were promoted after Fengge's reform.
Of course, it may also be because Zhu Yu herself doesn't like the various factional struggles in the company.
This was also the reason why I was marginalized before.
Now I have switched to working for Xu Kong. Although the work is a little busier, it is also not too stressful.
There is no need to constantly guard against competition between colleagues or some messy intrigues.
In this regard, Zhu Yu was actually quite grateful to Xu Kong.
Although she said she had a daughter, she was not the kind of person who liked to stay at home and take care of her children.
Even when he came to the capital to work alone, he had his own ideas and opinions.
Of course, there is no shortage of ability, otherwise it would be impossible for him to successfully establish a foothold in the capital under the age of thirty.
……
"A new drama from Changyun Film and Television?"
"Is it the one that was previously confirmed to be broadcast in August or September?"
Xu Kong knew a little bit.
In other words, the reason why "The Hidden Corner" was able to be filmed so quickly was partly due to Changyun Film and Television.
Zhu Yu nodded.
"Looking at the current situation, it is said that the investment scale is not small, at least it is a large investment drama of more than 500 million yuan."
"The type is the male protagonist type of ancient costume and machinations."
"In addition, the director is Yu Fenfen, a relatively well-known female director in the industry."
"And in terms of the starring role, Xian Hongwen, a visionary in his early thirties, stars, and the lineup of other supporting actors is also quite luxurious..."
……
Although Xu Kong was not very familiar with the names just mentioned, he was not unfamiliar either.
For example, when Xu Kong first joined Fengge, Yu Fenfen, a well-known first-line female director in China, had met her once.
On the surface, he is indeed a relatively intellectual, gentle and unassuming senior in the industry.
Of course, that was at the beginning.
Now that the other party has left Fengge with Zhu Changyun, there is a high probability that there will be no competitors who can ease the relationship in the future.
In addition, the lead actor Xian Hongwen and a group of supporting actors are actually actors under Feng Ge.
Zhu Changyun's departure indeed took away the terrifying team that Feng Ge had accumulated over more than 20 years.
Just looking at the terrifying lineup of this drama is enough to get a glimpse of the leopard.
"It seems that the later stages of "The Beginning" will speed up."
It's only mid-July now, but if you really want to watch the new drama from Changyun Film and Television, choose to air it at the same time.
The post-production time is estimated to be about a month.
The most important thing is to set aside a certain amount of time to discuss specific cooperation matters with each platform.
At present, Penguin Video and Mango have actually clearly expressed their intention to cooperate before filming begins. There is definitely no way to be completely sure about Penguin.
But on Mango's side, due to its relationship with Wu Youxue, there won't be much change.
The main reason is that even because he is the leading actor, Wu Youxue will most likely not deliberately lower the price or anything.
Of course, there will definitely still be relevant trial sessions.
The promise Xu Kong made before was only to give priority to mangoes under the same conditions.
As for the final copyright fee for the entire drama, it is still unknown.
……
The post-production of "The Beginning" did not officially begin until about a week after filming was completed.
The main purpose is to wait for Xu Kong to return to the capital.
For Su Meng, if someone had told her before that the post-editing and production of the drama she directed had to wait for other people's opinions, she would probably have scoffed.
Even very resistant.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
But now, after spending time with Xu Kong on the crew, I have become more and more accustomed to this method.
The main reason is that Xu Kong can really find out where the problem is very accurately many times.
It was just a small suggestion, but the final footage really improved tremendously.
And regarding the later editing and production, Xu Kong had been telling her his thoughts before.
Of course she remembered most of it.
And with the storyboard given by Xu Kong, editing is actually not too difficult.
Just because of what happened during this period, she didn't have any ideas from Xu Kong, and she really didn't know how to start.
Fortunately, Xu Kong came back directly after filming "The Hidden Corner".
And on the first day of post-editing, the progress was frighteningly fast.
Some scenes that Su Meng thought might be a waste of the film were actually used very cleverly.
In other words, Xu Kong may have had a very detailed final effect in his mind as early as the filming.
If you think about it carefully, this alone makes people feel a little too panicked.
……
"The investment in the entire drama, judging from the current situation, is estimated to be around 60 to 70 million..."
"But my suggestion is that when it is officially broadcast later, we can increase the cost to about 200 million!"
After being informed by Xu Kong, Su Meng naturally knew that his film "The Beginning" would be broadcast at the same time as Changyun Film and Television's new drama with a large investment and directed by Yu Fenfen.
Although she does have confidence in this drama.
But the other party is Yu Fenfen, and the investment scale of his own drama is also very different.
It was absolutely impossible not to have a trace of uneasiness in his heart. It could even be said that Su Meng began to become nervous almost subconsciously.
Although the specific subsequent broadcast time is still more than a month away.
But as for Yu Fenfen, a senior in the industry, she has always been one of the female directors she admires.
There is no way, although Su Meng has become famous through a few hit dramas with youth campus themes.
But compared with Yu Fenfen, the two of them are not on the same level at all.
Even the kind that can be ignored by the other party without daring to complain at all.
Otherwise, when Zhu Changyun left, it would have been impossible for him to leave with Yu Fenfen instead of Su Meng.
But at the same time, Su Meng was inevitably a little ready to make a move.
Mainly because Xu Kong was too confident.
And it wasn't just a coincidental schedule. It was obvious that from the very beginning, Xu Kong wanted to compete with Changyun Film and Television on purpose.
If she had started by looking for a script and planning a project, Su Meng probably wouldn't have any confidence at all.
But with the addition of Xu Kong, who still occupies a dominant position in this drama, Su Meng inevitably began to look forward to it.
If her drama, with such a small investment, can directly overturn Yu Fenfen's work with a luxurious cast and huge investment, then she will probably become famous immediately.
……
"Exaggerating investment costs?"
"Actually, there is no need for this. Just publish it normally."
Xu Kong heard Su Meng's thoughts and then spoke.
In fact, exaggerating investment costs is a common method used by film and television companies.
For example, some large companies use actors, directors, etc. from their own companies. In terms of remuneration, it is definitely different from some normal commercial cooperation outside.
For example, this time "The Beginning", the total cost of shooting and production is estimated to be around 50 million.
With the addition of announcements and other follow-up announcements, it will most likely be as high as 60 to 70 million.
A very typical work that uses small things to make a big difference.
But taking a quick look at the cast, not to mention anything else, given Xu Kong’s current worth, it’s completely reasonable to charge a higher salary than the investment cost of the entire show.
The same goes for Song Youyou, the nation's first love.
But in fact, Song Youyou's salary was only more than 8 million.
The other party didn't care about this at all.
As for Xu Kong, he still followed the same pattern as before, and the whole drama was divided into two parts.
Therefore, it is really easy to increase the investment cost of external publicity.
The most important thing is to raise the price appropriately when quoting copyright fees with some platforms.
But from Xu Kong's point of view, it doesn't feel necessary to be so troublesome.
The main reason is that since Changyun Film and Television has produced such a large-scale drama, the goal must not be low.
At least it’s for the hit drama of the year.
He just wants to make a small-budget drama of his own, and then turn it into a drama with big investment, a well-known director, and a luxurious lineup to directly break the contrast.
It is estimated that at that time, Zhu Changyun, the old man, will probably get angry and jump off his feet.
Thinking of that scene, Xu Kong felt relaxed.
……
Of course, although the investment cost will not be deliberately exaggerated.
But similarly, Xu Kong has no intention of making concessions on copyright fees.
Cost is one thing, but if you really want to buy the exclusive broadcast rights with tens of millions of copyrights, wouldn't these platforms take a big advantage?
As for how to talk about it when the time comes, Xu Kong doesn't have any better ideas for the time being.
At least let the people in charge of these platforms watch the finished film of "The Beginning" first.
If we really can't reach an agreement, Xu Kong would be able to accept some kind of gambling agreement, or a share-sharing model like the original "Want to See You".
Of course, he is no longer a new director who was very passive in Fengqing Entertainment and almost no one was optimistic about it.
The specific share ratio and the share negotiation for advertising investment will also need to be re-priced.
……
Su Meng didn't have any objections to Xu Kong's words.
The main reason is that the other party is now Feng Ge's boss. As an employee, of course she cannot have any objections.
However, Xu Kong's arrogance in his heart, which did not take any opponent seriously, indeed infected Su Meng.
Many times, things that she had not dared to think or do for so many years before, now became rare and common with Xu Kong.
This feeling seems quite refreshing.
