Xiao Yunhai snapped his fingers and said, "Very good. However, I want to tell everyone that this is the premiere of 'Empresses in the Palace', not Zhao Wanqing's new album release. Therefore, the song selection session is over. "
"Hey, one more song would be good."
"Yeah, it's really good."
"Yun Huang is the worst. He only knows how to keep people in suspense."
Hearing the sighs of the audience, Xiao Yunhai said to Zhao Wanqing, "Leader, everyone seems to like your new album very much. Can you tell everyone when your new album will be released? "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "This album will be released on August 24th and will be officially released on August 25th. Please support it."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please remember that it will be released on August 25th. Don't miss it. This album is very collectible. "
"Hahaha."
"What are you talking about? Ladies and gentlemen, hehe, interesting. "
"Another internet slang has appeared."
"Don't miss it. Is this a multi-level marketing?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Alright, let us give our warmest applause to Ms. Zhao Wanqing again. Thank you for bringing us such a beautiful song."
After Zhao Wanqing stepped off the stage to rest, Xiao Yunhai said, "Everyone, don't look at how crazy I am now. In fact, my heart is full of gratitude. I really didn't expect that so many seniors and friends in the entertainment industry would come to the premiere of a rookie director like me. "
"Really, I want to thank them. Since I entered the industry, everyone's support and love for me is engraved in my heart. I will never forget it in my life. Don't worry, I will be responsible for all of you. "
"Pfft."
"Haha."
"I can't take it anymore. Yun Huang is too talented."
"I knew it. With his usual attitude, it would be strange if he could say something nice."
"That's right. What he said at the beginning was quite touching, but the twist at the end was too wretched. She actually used the word "responsible" on this. I was speechless.
The cameraman aimed the camera at the guest seats at the right time. He saw that the guests had different expressions. Some of them didn't know whether to laugh or cry, some of them sat there laughing without caring about their image, and some of them pointed at Xiao Yunhai helplessly and said something.
After that, Xiao Yunhai played a short clip from the crew of Empresses in the Palace. Everyone laughed when they saw that the celebrities, who were usually high and mighty, had such a cute side to them.
In the next half an hour, Xiao Yunhai fully displayed his ability as a comedian, and the entire venue was filled with laughter.
At the end of the banquet, Xiao Yunhai said, "Time flies. In the blink of an eye, I have to say goodbye to everyone. Thank you for your support and attention to Empresses in the Palace. As the saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law will inevitably have to meet her parents-in-law. Tomorrow night, "Empresses in the Palace" would premiere. For our crew, this is equivalent to a very big exam. Whether we do well or not, it will be up to everyone to give us a score. "
"Now, I announce that the premiere of" Empresses in the Palace "has come to an end. Thank you for watching. Goodbye."
Amidst the warm applause, all the crew members of "Empresses in the Palace" went on stage and bowed deeply to the audience. The premiere had come to an end.
At the cocktail party organized by Jibei TV Station, Xiao Yunhai and the celebrity guests who came to support him drank and chatted merrily. The scene was very lively.
The executives of Jibei TV Station naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to build connections. Shen Minghui and Song Longqi drank until their faces were red.
While Xiao Yunhai was chatting with Chen Huan and Ye Yongren, Wu Zixu and Huang Qiusheng came over.
Wu Zixu said, "Everyone, I'm sorry. Can you lend me Yunhai for a while? I have something to talk to him about in private. "
Ye Yongren smiled and said, "Director Wu, it looks like you have something big going on."
Wu Zixu shook his head and said, "What? I have some personal matters that I need Yunhai's help with. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Teachers, please take your time. I'll excuse myself first."
After clinking glasses with them, Xiao Yunhai followed Wu Zixu and Huang Qiusheng to a corner.
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Director Wu, Teacher Huang, why are you looking for me?"
Wu Zixu said, "Yunhai, I want to buy something from you."
"What is it?"
"Your 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'."
"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer?"
Hearing Wu Zixu's words, Xiao Yunhai was stunned. He smiled and said, "Director Wu, why did you think of shooting a Wuxia film? That's not a problem. You can use any part you like. "
Wu Zixu smiled bitterly and said, "Not which part? Everything. "
"Everything?" Xiao Yunhai said in surprise, "Director Wu, this novel of mine is very long. It's impossible to shoot it in two hours."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yunhai was stunned. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something. He looked at Wu Zixu in disbelief and said, "Director Wu, you're not thinking of shooting a TV series, are you?"
Wu Zixu nodded and said, "That's right. I just don't know if you're willing to part with it. "
After receiving Wu Zixu's affirmative answer, Xiao Yunhai took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, "Director Wu, are you okay? Why did you suddenly think of shooting a TV series? "
Indeed, a famous movie director in Hua Xia actually wanted to come back to shoot a TV series. What kind of joke was this?
If this news were to spread, the entire entertainment industry would probably explode. Even Xiao Yunhai couldn't accept it when he heard it, let alone those reporters.
Huang Qiusheng said, "Yunhai, you don't know. Ever since Director Wu read your novel, 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer', he was obsessed with it. He watched it more than ten times. In the end, he had the idea of shooting it. "
Wu Zixu said solemnly, "Yunhai, 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' is very suitable to be made into a TV series. If you want to shoot it, I won't take it away from you. But if you don't want to shoot it, I hope you can give it to me. I, Wu Zixu, promise that I won't ruin this martial arts classic. "
In fact, Wu Zixu's heart was in a mess after he said this.
He knew very well that 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' was now popular in Hua Xia. It was very tempting to any director.
Not to mention other things, just the 40 to 50 million martial arts fans could guarantee the ratings of this TV series.
Therefore, it was normal for Xiao Yunhai to reject him.
"Director Wu, you're too serious." Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said with a smile, "When I was writing 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer', I already had the intention of moving it to the TV screen. Now, its sales have almost exceeded 50 million. The audience base has really stabilized. It's time to shoot it. Since Director Wu wants to shoot this TV series, then I'll give it to you. "
Wu Zixu's eyes lit up and a trace of ecstasy flashed across his face. He said excitedly, "That's great. Yunhai, thank you so much. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Director Wu, don't be happy yet. I still have conditions to tell you. I hope that when you're adapting the script, you won't change the novel beyond recognition. It's normal to change the details, but not the general direction. "
Wu Zixu nodded and said, "No problem. When the script is out, I'll bring it over for you to take a look. "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Second, I want to invest. A TV series directed by Director Wu will definitely have no problem with the ratings. I wonder how much money Director Wu needs? "
Wu Zixu laughed and said, "That's a good condition. I agree with it wholeheartedly. If you want to shoot this TV series well, my initial budget is at least 800 million. "
Xiao Yunhai agreed without hesitation and said, "No problem. I'll take care of the funding. I guarantee that it won't affect Director Wu's filming. "
Wu Zixu nodded and said, "That's great. The preparation work for the production will probably be completed in a month. When the time comes, I'll give you a call. But first, we have to agree on three things. Everything in the production team … "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Everything will be up to you. I won't restrict you at all. When the film is out, I'll only be in charge of collecting the money. "
Wu Zixu revealed a satisfied smile and said, "Okay. As for the actors, do you have any friends you want to recommend? "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Director Wu, what do you think of Huang Bo and Wang Cheng?"
Wu Zixu nodded and said, "Not bad. Their acting skills are considered very good among the younger generation. Although it's impossible for them to be the main characters, it's definitely not a problem for them to be supporting characters. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's good. Director Wu, who are you going to invite to play the male and female leads? "
Wu Zixu chuckled and asked, "How about you play Ling Huchong and your leader play Ren Yingying?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I don't think I'm free. Recently, I've been writing a script and preparing to shoot it. As for Wan Qing, I'll call her over and ask her. "
After a while, Xiao Yunhai pulled Zhao Wanqing's hand and walked over.
Zhao Wanqing first greeted Huang Qiusheng, then said to Wu Zixu, "Director Wu, are you really willing to let me play Ren Yingying?"
Wu Zixu nodded and said, "Whether it's appearance or acting skills, you're the most suitable candidate. What do you think, Miss Zhao? "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Of course I'm willing. When Yunhai was writing this novel, I was already interested in the role of Ren Yingying. Besides, I've never acted in a wuxia drama before, so I want to experience it. Then, who's going to play Ling Huchong? "
Wu Zixu pouted and said, "I originally wanted to let the person next to you play it, but he said he's not free, so we can only find someone else."
When Zhao Wanqing heard that, she turned her head and looked at him with a faint smile.
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "Don't look at me. It's not like you don't know that I'm preparing to shoot iPartment. After that, I have to release a new album. I really don't have time at all. "
Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "I didn't say anything. Do you need to explain it to me? Director Wu, when do we start shooting? “
Wu Zixu thought for a while and said, "The preparation work of the crew will take about a month. I'll start selecting actors in three days and then do some martial arts training. What do you think? "
Zhao Wanqing frowned and said, "I might have to promote my new album soon. I'm afraid I won't have much time to train."
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's not a problem. Have you forgotten about my senior, Luo Tianxiong? There are many female martial artists in his Luo Family Troupe. I'll give him a call and ask him to send one to you. Firstly, she can be your bodyguard, and secondly, she can teach you martial arts. "
Zhao Wanqing's eyes lit up and said, "That's not bad. Director Wu, what do you think? "
Wu Zixu nodded and smiled. "Of course, that's not a problem. I didn't expect the most famous action director in the industry, Luo Tianxiong, to be your senior. You've hidden it well, kid. If our 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' can invite his Luo Family Troupe, I think the martial arts scenes will be very outstanding. "
Huang Qiusheng, who had been silent all this while, said, "I'm afraid it'll be very difficult. The Luo Family Troupe has been in the film industry all these years. It can be said that they're at the peak of their power. I heard that there's an endless stream of film crews looking for them. Sometimes, they even have to queue up. Compared to Xue Ming's Xue Family Troupe, they're much better in terms of fame and reputation. It's basically impossible to get them to return to the small screen to help film a TV series. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "How do you know if you don't try?"
Xiao Yunhai took out his phone and directly dialed Luo Tianxiong's number.
Soon, Luo Tianxiong's loud and clear voice came through.
"Yunhai, I just watched the premiere of 'Empresses in the Palace'. It's really good."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Senior, what have you been busy with recently?"
"What else can I be doing besides filming? Tell me, what's up with you, kid? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "There's really something I need your help with. I'm preparing to film 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' into a TV series, but I haven't found a suitable action team. Senior, is our Luo Family Troupe free to come over and help? "
Luo Tianxiong asked, "When? Are you the director? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "One month from now. The director is Wu Zixu."
"Who? Wu Zixu? Don't joke with me, kid. "Luo Tianxiong laughed and scolded.
Xiao Yunhai didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Senior, what good can I get by lying to you? Director Wu is right next to me now, and he asked me to help him. "
"Really?" Luo Tianxiong laughed and said, "I didn't expect Director Wu to shoot a TV series. This joke is really a bit too big. How about this, give the phone to Director Wu, I'll talk to him. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Wait a minute, I still have something I need your help with. Wan Qing is going to play the role of the female lead, Ren Yingying. She needs a Senior Sister who knows real Kung Fu to teach her. It's best if she can protect her until the shooting ends. Senior, do you have a suitable candidate in our Luo Family Troupe? "
Luo Tianxiong said, "Of course, no problem. When do you want it? "
"As soon as possible."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Thank you, Senior. I'll give the phone to Director Wu, you can talk to him if you have anything to say. "
Wu Zixu took Xiao Yunhai's phone and said, "Hello, Teacher Luo. I'm Wu Zixu."
