Chapter 309 Declined
“Haha.” Ouyang Changlin laughed twice, but was not angry because of it. Instead, he said: “By cooperating with Yishu, Mango Station can show sincerity.”
< br>Since he was destined not to bother with the TV series anymore, Wang Shu had no intention of listening to Ouyang Changlin's sincerity.
If he pretends to listen now and then refuses, it will offend people.
So he smiled and said: "Mr. Ouyang Yang, this is not a matter of sincerity on your part, but I have decided to focus on the film field."
After a pause, he then asked, "I wonder if you have heard that I am filming an award-winning film?"
Ouyang Changlin fell silent when he heard this.
He is the director of Mango Channel, so he naturally knows that the film industry is a high-level field in the television industry.
Only TV drama directors want to further become movie directors, there is no such thing as movie directors turning around and making TV dramas.
Although in the subsequent traffic era, even Zhang Yimou went to film TV series.
But in today's era, there is only one reason why movie directors go to shoot TV series, and that is because the movie directors are so desperate that they have no movie scripts to shoot, so they can only settle for shooting TV series.
Of course there are exceptions.
For example, Wang Jin from Hong Kong Island, he is in TV series and movies. As long as he makes money, he can switch between them at will.
But in the Mainland, film directors still keep their posture straight.
After Ouyang Changlin fell silent, he asked in a low voice with regret: "The TV series you made have very good ratings. Do you really not plan to make TV series anymore?"
Wang Shu smiled and answered: "The movies I made are also good at the box office."
When Ouyang Changlin heard this, he was speechless.
Then he said with waning interest: "Since Director Wang plans to focus on movies, let's forget about it."
After saying that, he forced a smile and said, "If Director Wang plans to make TV series in the future, , Mango Channel welcomes cooperation with Yishu Company at any time.”
He also knew that since Wang Shu had chosen to focus on movies before he stated the conditions, he must not want to listen to the conditions. There is no need to elaborate.
"Definitely." Wang Shu responded with a smile.
"Okay, I still have work to deal with here, so I won't disturb Director Wang's work." Ouyang Changlin said a polite word.
"Goodbye, Mr. Ouyang, I will visit you when I have the opportunity." Wang Shu also smiled and said a polite word.
Ouyang Changlin smiled and hung up the phone.
Sitting in the office, Ouyang Changlin sighed. At his age, he will retire in a few years.
Now he wants to add another highlight to his resume before retiring.
Before, he restrained himself from contacting Wang Shu in person. Today, after seeing the ratings receipt for the finale of "Secret Garden", he could no longer restrain himself.
The ratings data of the four dramas are all ranked in the top ten in the ratings of TV dramas broadcast by Mango Channel over the years!
This kind of achievement, this kind of strength.
If we can cooperate with Wang Shu, Mango Channel will definitely be able to make a name for itself as a self-made Mango drama like TVB and ATV in Hong Kong Island.
But
Wang Shu actually stopped filming TV series.
Although it is regrettable, it is understandable.
After all, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places.
Wang Shu is also developing extremely well in the film field now, and there is really no need to bother with TV series anymore.
He would call Wang Shu, thinking that Wang Shu was making movies as well as TV series.
After all, Wang Shu filmed "Secret Garden" just over four months ago, and with the continuous filming of three idol dramas, anyone would think that Wang Shu would still make trouble with TV dramas.
It is precisely because of this misjudgment that Ouyang Changlin made this phone call today.
On the other side, Mei Ting saw Wang Shu end the call, leaned over and asked curiously: "Who called?"
She saw Wang Shu stop filming. I also wanted to answer this call, subconsciously curious.
"The European balcony of Mango Terrace is long." Wang Shu responded with a smile.
"The European balcony is long?" Mei Ting looked confused.
Wang Shu continued to explain: "The drama "Secret Garden" ended yesterday on Mango Channel. The ratings were very good. Director Ouyang Yang called to inquire about cooperation."
Mei Ting's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately looked at Wang Shu with big eyes, and asked with a smile: "Cooperation? Do you agree?"
She also knew that since Ouyang Changlin would take the initiative to call, which must be an in-depth cooperation.
And she is a TV actress.
If Wang Shu cooperates with Mango Channel to produce a TV series, then
Wang Shu saw Mei Ting looking over eagerly, and smiled helplessly: "No."
Looking at Mei Ting's eyes changed from hope to disappointment in an instant, and then she explained, "I have no plans to make a TV series at the moment, so I declined the proposal of Director Ouyang Yang."
"Oh." Mei Ting responded, Although she smiled back at Wang Shu, she still couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes.
Wang Shu has filmed five TV series in total, all of which are popular, and she knows this very well.
Although she has participated in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", her popularity has increased due to her role in this drama.
But she also wants to star in a TV drama directed by Wang Shu as the heroine.
As a senior actor, she knows very well what it would be like to star in a popular drama written, directed and acted by Wang Shu.
Not only will it continue to be popular, but it will most likely become one of her masterpieces in the future.
Even if it is an idol drama, as long as the great director Wang Shu writes, directs and stars in it, it will increase its quality.
Therefore
Although she never said it, in her heart she had always been envious of Zhou Xun, Fan Binbin, Sun Li, and even Yan Danchen for being able to star in an idol drama written, directed and acted by Wang Shu.
With Wang Shu’s identity and the quality of the TV series, even if it is an idol drama, it is still a very good resource and opportunity.
Being able to star in such a drama will also be of great help to her career.
Furthermore, Wang Shu has already invited Zhou Xun, Fan Binbin and Sun Li to film idol dramas.
I think in Mei Tinglai, if Wang Shu makes another idol drama or other types of TV series, there is a high probability that the heroine will invite her to star.
Both emotions and reasons give her the best chance.
So, she has always had expectations in her heart.
But who would have thought that the result now is that Wang Shu said that he would no longer film TV series
This gap made Mei Ting feel uncomfortable instantly.
It was uncomfortable to feel uncomfortable, but as a mature woman, she did not want to show it in front of Wang Shu, so as not to cause trouble to Wang Shu.
However, although she tried her best to maintain a smile, Wang Shu still saw the disappointment in her eyes.
In this regard
Wang Shu pretended not to see it, smiled and continued chatting with Mei Ting for a few words, and then got into the busy shooting work.
Seeing Wang Shu being so busy, Mei Ting took a deep breath, swept away the disappointment in her heart, and adjusted herself before getting back to work.
If it is a young girl or a selfish woman, there is a high probability that she will act coquettishly in front of Wang Shu and talk about wanting to star in a TV series, in order to make Wang Shu soft-hearted. Customize a TV series.
Mei Ting is a mature woman and she will consider Wang Shu.
So, even though she had the same idea in her heart, after hearing Wang Shu say that she would no longer bother with TV series, she silently hid her inner thoughts.
In the evening, the crew had a dinner together. Wang Shu, Mei Ting, Zhang Hanyu, Fu Dalong, Chen Kun and others were chatting and laughing while eating supper.
Chen Kun, Fu Dalong and others saw Mei Ting sitting next to Wang Shu, flattering her and helping her pick up food and pour wine from time to time, with quite envious eyes.
Mei Ting is a first-line TV drama actor. With her status, only a great director like Wang Shu can make her so interested.
No one was surprised at Mei Ting's flattery towards Wang Shu.
Because this kind of thing is common in the film and television industry, a few people have seen it a lot.
Not to mention Mei Ting, Zhang Ziyi, Fan Binbin and others have all flattered the big shots in the industry at the wine party.
Furthermore, several people also know that Mei Ting and Wang Shu have a good personal relationship. Mei Ting is now acting like a big sister taking care of her younger brother, and it is hard to find fault with her.
As for Mei Ting, although she "takes care" of Wang Shu in this way, in fact, she has always deliberately kept a distance from Wang Shu on the crew.
She only responded to the divorce news at the beginning of the year, but she didn’t want the scandal to spread just a few months later, which would damage her image and career development.
Since she responded to the divorce, even if she issued a precise statement, people inside and outside the circle have always been dissatisfied and want to delve into more reasons.
If there is a scandal at this time, it will most likely turn into a divorce caused by her cheating.
Besides the pros and cons, on the face of it, we should keep a distance from Wang Shu.
From the aspect of maintaining external image, it needs to be guaranteed for at least one year.
Of course, she sometimes wanted to test whether Wang Shu was willing to announce their relationship to the public.
For example, some time ago, when "A Crowd of People" went to the southwestern county for filming, the two of them went out to hang out at night.
She offered to go to Wang Shu's room at night not only because she didn't want to disappoint Wang Shu, but also as a kind of test and expectation.
If Wang Shu agreed, the crew would see it.
Then the relationship between the two is confirmed even if it is not announced.
Naihe, Wang Shu replied. I prefer to be outdoors.
Actually, Wang Shu didn't like being outdoors, but he used this method to cleverly make Mei Ting give up the idea of going to his room at night.
This is his purpose.
"Director Wang, let me toast you." Zhang Hanyu stood up with his cup and toasted to Wang Shu seriously.
He is much older than Wang Shu. When filming "Buried Alive", Zhang Hanyu would call himself "brother" at the wine table.
Nowadays, he has long removed these two words, and has never called himself "brother" in front of Wang Shu.
Compared with the casualness before, now it is more respectful.
Seeing Zhang Hanyu being so solemn, Wang Shu stood up without asking, and answered with a smile: "Sit down and drink, you don't have to stand up."
He is a great director now, so he treats others without any airs. It can make people feel like a spring breeze.
It’s just that Zhang Hanyu is an actor.
Although he is not young anymore, he is actually still a new actor.
Actors and great directors sit at the same table. Even if the great director is easy-going, he cannot really take him seriously.
Who is serious and who is stupid.
So, even though Wang Shu repeatedly emphasized that you are welcome, no matter Zhang Hanyu, Fu Dalong, Chen Kun and others, they were always polite.
After all, as an actor, whether he can go higher and further in the future depends on the favor and support of a great director. Naturally, he cannot be offended by a moment of negligence.
When Zhang Hanyu heard this, he smiled back, then drank the glass in one gulp.
Whatever you want to say can be found in this glass of wine.
Since he was drinking beer, Wang Shu was very considerate and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhang Hanyu took the lead in toasting, followed by Fu Dalong, Chen Kun and others.
Everyone stood up and drank from their cups.
Wang Shu had no choice but to stand up one after another without support.
If he is an older director, it is natural that he cannot sit up.
But he is only 20 years old. Whether it is Fu Dalong, Chen Kun, or others, they are all older.
Although this late-night supper and wine party was dominated by him, it was not impossible for him to keep his identity and not get up, but it would only harm his reputation if word spread.
Therefore, whether he wants it or not, for the sake of reputation, he has to pretend when he should.
After finishing the drink, Chen Kun sat silently aside. He only played a supporting role in the drama "A Crowd of People", and his role has long been completed and left the production.
I am here today because a friend he met on the set called him.
He learned that Wang Shu would be there, and he looked familiar in front of Wang Shu.
Many times, friendships and connections do not come instantly and need to be fought for and managed.
For example, if Chen Kun doesn't come this time, he may not have the opportunity to appear in front of Wang Shu for a long time, so that Wang Shu may forget about him when selecting actors in the future.
But now that he has come to look familiar, he can leave an impression on Wang Shu again.
For this late-night snack, not only him, but also several people had already finished filming and left the crew, and then came rushing over after being informed by their friends.
As time passed and the night got darker, Wang Shu felt that it was almost done. After a few polite words, he stood up and left.
Seeing this, Mei Ting followed closely behind.
Zhang Hanyu, Fu Dalong and others also knew that Wang Shu rested early on weekdays, so they got up together and sent Wang Shu and Mei Ting out of the private room with just a little effort.
These people are all very particular people. They originally wanted to send Wang Shu outside the store and then return, but Wang Shu was polite to them for a while and stopped pushing him.
“You guys go on, I’m going to leave first, Director Wang.” Mei Ting said with a smile.
This late-night dinner and drinking party was not a party organized by Wang Shu, but a party organized by Zhang Hanyu, Fu Dalong and other crew members as the production of "Human Mountain" was about to be completed.
“Be careful on the road.” Several people were still polite.
Wang Shu shook his hand, turned around and left with Mei Ting.
Walking out of the supper place, Wang Shu turned his head and looked at Mei Ting. Mei Ting drank some wine, with a slight blush on her face, and asked, "Should I take you back or go to my place?"
When Mei Ting heard this, she rolled her eyes at Wang Shu and was so arrogant that she didn't reply.
Wang Shu smiled coquettishly, immediately paid attention to Mei Ting, and said with a smile: "Then go to my place?"
After hearing this, Mei Ting pouted and rolled her eyes again.
But he didn’t say no.
Do not reject, it is the same as the default.
Wang Shu was actually tired now and wanted to go back and lie down to sleep. However, he thought about it for a moment and then suggested with a smile: "It's been a while since we went out for a walk, how about we Drive to somewhere else first?”
