Chapter 195 "1 as before"
Xia Haoyang, who was in the office, flipped through his calendar. It was the New Year at the end of January, and there were still three months left. If he worked hard every day, he could complete a movie script before the end of the year. The previous film "So Beautiful" starring Tang Wanqi earned nearly 9 million in box office in just over a month after its release, which was a huge profit for the company's production fee of more than 5000 million. The TV series is currently in the investment stage, and there is no big problem in maintaining capital, but it should not make as much money as the movie, so Fatty decided to continue making movies.
The script "Extreme Escape" that Xia Haoyang wants to write now is a disaster comedy. It tells the story of a pair of rock climbing enthusiasts. After encountering inexplicable smoke and toxic gas erosion throughout the city, the hero and heroine rely on their rock climbing skills to save everyone. The film achieved a good result of 2019 million viewings in 942. Compared with the 171 million viewings of "So Beautiful", it is definitely a popular film. The heroine of this film, Lin Yoona, is also a singer in a girl group and is the most beautiful woman in her teenage years.
In fact, since watching the rock climbing competition live last year, Xia Haoyang has thought about moving the film to this time and space. It just so happens that Wanqi, Jingyi and Xiao Mengyan have also learned rock climbing for nearly a year, and have a certain foundation. It will be very smooth, and many of the shots that require a stand-in can be taken by oneself or even in one shot, which is also a beautiful thing from the audience's perspective.
Originally, Xia Haoyang wrote this script with Xiao Mengyan as the protagonist, and even made a plot outline. Because Mengyan was too young, he wanted to downplay the love line or even change it to a sister partner, but now Xia Haoyang plans to design the entire script from Jingyi's perspective. The script is used as compensation for Lao Xie's emotional injury. And we can find a handsome guy in the film for Jingyi to fall in love with, well, that’s the decision. Xia Haoyang made up his mind, revised the outline, and then began typing quickly to write a new movie script.
For several days, Xia Haoyang was writing new scripts in the office. Tara participated in several programs and accepted several commercials, so she was free these days. They haven't performed a new song for more than four months. Last time, Zeng Jingyi took the initiative to ask Xia Haoyang for the song, which led to the appearance of the plot version of the MV "Day By Day". Now history is happening again.
Zeng Jingyi knocked on Xia Haoyang's office door alone and walked in.
"Jingyi? What's the matter?" Xia Haoyang, who was concentrating on script writing, raised his head and was a little surprised to see Zeng Jingyi.
"Brother Xia, we have filmed movies and TV series in recent months, but we have not sang new songs for several months. Fans are asking us if we have changed careers."
"Yesterday Xiao Liu came to report to me that the sales volume of your micro-film version of the MV has reached a new high, and this year you have released an album "Su Gaofei", a mini album "Hide and Seek", and a TV series ost collection, and then There are also four songs in the micro-movie MV, which is a lot." Xia Haoyang thinks this is quite a lot. Many singers may only sing one work in two or three years, or even only one memorable song in their entire life, Tara's Development has been rapid.
"But these things you mentioned were all from before June. You see, we sang so much before the summer vacation, but in the second half of the year we didn't have a single song." Zeng Jingyi also imitated Qin Jiali and pouted her lips in an angry manner.
"Haha, Jingyi, many singers may only sing one song a year, or even find a suitable work to sing in two or three years. You have developed very quickly in the past year or so, so you must learn to be calm. If you feel free, don't You can ask Juzi to arrange some other business activities for you."
"I prefer singing than participating in those activities." Zeng Jingyi looked at Xia Haoyang with very clear eyes.
Looking at Zeng Jingyi's eyes, Xia Haoyang's heart trembled, "Okay, since you want to sing, I actually have another piece here that I wrote before. I'll print it out and you can take a look."
Zeng Jingyi laughed out of surprise: "There really is a song. I just came to try my luck. Qin Jiali said that you must have something private, but you refused to sing for us. She was really right."
Xia Haoyang also smiled: "You have wronged me this time. This work was originally prepared for you. It is similar in style to the previous "Beauty's Blind Date". The funny and humorous plot can be called "Minzhi's Blind Date" , the song title is "Same as before"."
"'Minzhi's Blind Date'? Are you planning to create a blind date song for each of us?" Zeng Jingyi said with a smile.
"Not just songs, but also movies. I'm writing a new movie script with you as the protagonist. I'll find a handsome guy to play with you and let you experience the love addiction in the script." Xia Haoyang said softly.
"You don't need to be like this, I'm fine, Senior Brother Xia, I feel a little embarrassed when you say this." Zeng Jingyi was a little moved, but more at a loss.
Seeing Zeng Jingyi's big reaction, Xia Haoyang didn't want to reveal too much: "That's a bit exaggerated, but I am indeed writing a new movie script. When the time comes, I will see who is suitable to play the role. I am leaning towards you, but if the time comes If the director you are looking for says you are not suitable and needs to be replaced, then I will definitely listen to the director."
"Okay, we'll talk about it then. I'll go to Xiao Liu's place first to see if the song has been printed, and then I'll take it back and show it to everyone." Zeng Jingyi said softly.
"I'll go too. If you have any questions about this song, let's communicate in person." Xia Haoyang stood up, saved the document he was writing, and walked to the dance studio.
Xia Haoyang walked into the dance studio and heard Juzi complaining.
"Fatty Xia, you came just in time. Do we need to change our studio?"
"what happened?"
"There are too few rooms here. Tara and the others are also big stars now. They don't have their own rooms when they stay in the company every day. Not to mention a room for each person, at least they need a lounge. Sometimes they are very tired from training and want to sleep. You can't sleep on the floor here for sleeping or something. Moreover, this dance studio is not big, and it also takes up a part to store clothes. There is no special clothing room, so it is inconvenient to change clothes. Sometimes you have to go to the toilet, which is too inconvenient. It’s appropriate.”
"Well, it needs to be expanded. We used to have a small number of people, and the few big men were not so particular. It's time to move to a bigger place." Xia Haoyang looked at the dance studio and nodded in approval.
"Yeah, I really don't know what you were thinking. Why did you choose such a place at that time? This area is full of commercial office buildings. It doesn't look like an office space for a music studio. And now you want to develop into film and television, Wanqi Also, I spend every day either in the dance studio or the recording studio, without even a place to rest and be quiet. This is really not okay. "Although Juzi doesn't sound nice, he does think about everyone. Now the company's profit maker is Tara. With Wanqi, it was inconvenient for them to even rest and change clothes in the company every day. This was the fault of Xia Hao, the administrative boss.
Fortunately, Xia Haoyang corrected his mistake after he realized it, "Okay, I'll have a meeting with everyone to communicate. Let's move to a bigger studio."
Tara and others were trying out the new song "Just Like Before". Xia Haoyang and Juzi came to the recording studio to talk to Brother Hong and Lao Xie about changing studios. Juzi complained again in front of everyone. Brother Hong and Lao Xie also frowned and listened carefully without saying a word. After Juzi finished complaining, Brother Hong was the first to express his opinion: "It can be expanded. Tara, the others, and Wanqi are really good at the company every day. It is not convenient for two assistants to do things. This is not good, Juzi's I approve the proposal."
Lao Xie also nodded: "In the past, the company was just a music studio. It didn't involve dancing and there weren't that many people. Teacher Pei could only stay in the dance studio every day. Occasionally he came to the recording studio to have a look, but there was no place. You can take a rest, and so can Tara and the others, it’s really going to expand.”
Zhou Yuanhong continued: "I suggest that we keep this place exclusively for recording and dubbing work, and then find a larger place with special rooms for dance practice, actor training, song learning, and even singers' rest rooms. For things like the green room and the like, if our studio needs to be bigger, the supporting service facilities must keep up."
Xia Haoyang expressed his position: "Brother Hong, we don't have to worry about Sosou. Since we plan to change to a better office, we will build a better recording studio and buy better equipment. We can sell or rent it here." , no need to be sorry, we are not short of money now."
Seeing Xia Haoyang's heroic statement, Zhou Yuanhong and Xie Shujie looked at each other and smiled helplessly, "Okay, fat man, you can make up your own mind."
