This man knows how to hype

Chapter 338 I am also short of money? (Supplement)
The "celestial fairy" that Lu Jiu mentioned is back.

After working so hard for so long, she looked exhausted.

So, after coming back, she never left Xu Xiyu's house. She would lie down after eating, and eat again after lying down, living the life of a "fat housewife", just waiting for Xu Xiyu to have a holiday so that she could go home with him.

No, she was not at Xu Xiyu's house.

To be precise, it was her own home. Because the house Xu Xiyu was living in now was hers. She used to live with her mother in another villa in the same community.

Now, her mother has been sent abroad by her.

In her words, it means: "Stop her from talking about foreign dudes in my ear every day. She likes foreign dudes so much, so she can go find one herself and don't drag me into it."

That’s right, Mr. Ke is so domineering.

If it were Lu Qinyao who was in charge, I can’t imagine how much trouble and confusion it would be.

Speaking of which, Xu Xiyu has thought about buying a house, and he feels that it is time for him to own a property.

But he was too lazy to move.

So, on several occasions, he asked Ke Xinying if she could sell the house to him at the market price.

Ke Xinying's answer was always the same, she would half-jokingly say, "Let's get the marriage certificate someday, and this house will be our dowry."

After talking about this kind of thing so much, Xu Xiyu was too lazy to mention buying this house anymore.

It’s not that he is against taking his relationship with Ke Xinying further, but he doesn’t want to be so shameless as to ask for Ke Xinying’s house.

So he simply thought about making more money and buying a better and bigger one.

However, a house is not a necessity for him at present. Therefore, he has no motivation to think about it. He is so busy that he forgets about it.

It's the kind of person who keeps saying he wants to buy a house, but never actually takes action.

But the only constant in this world is that things are always changing.

During this period, Xu Xiyu suddenly realized that his parents might come to Beijing to find him in the future, or even live with him in Beijing.

In this case, if you don’t have any property, it might be inconvenient.

Moreover, he didn't like living with his parents, whether they were his parents on Blue Star or on Earth.

So, he started thinking about buying a house again, and he had to buy a few more in case of emergency.

What if something happens and it’s inconvenient where we live now, and my parents live somewhere else, so we have to have a place to go, right?
For example, if Lu Qinyao came to Beijing.

You can't always stay in a hotel, right?

This is not safe.

With this idea in mind, Xu Xiyu arranged for someone to keep an eye on the real estate matters for him.

After paying attention, I realized that houses in Beijing are extremely expensive, and I don’t seem to have enough money to buy so many houses.

well.

The pressure is on.

The fighting spirit and enthusiasm for work rose instantly.

With this "motivation" and nearly two months of hard work and preparation.

Xu Xiyu's work performance is still quite impressive.

In terms of movies, after "Infernal Affairs" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "The Intouchables" was successfully launched again.

The core protagonist has been confirmed, played by Yu Yuyu, a wealthy girl with high spinal cord injury, and the caregiver will naturally be played by Lü Qinyao.

Both of them have very good acting skills, so there is naturally no pressure when acting.

As for the male lead of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Wang Duoyu, it is the actor Wang Pengpeng who played Ma Jieke in "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop". The female lead is Li Shangling.

That’s right, it’s Li Shangling.

She had a talk with Xu Xiyu some time ago and expressed her demands directly, hoping that Xu Xiyu would give her a chance. She also gave Xu Xiyu some hints in that regard.

But Xu Xiyu ignored her hint.

However, the role of Xia Zhu was still given to her.

Because she is a well-known actress, playing the female lead is a good thing for "The Richest Man in Xihong City". The male and female protagonists of the movie need to be familiar faces.

Although Wang Pengpeng has gained a certain degree of fame after starring in "The Annual Party Can't Stop", one movie is not enough to support his status.

He is a complete newcomer in the film industry. Unless he acts in one or two movies to consolidate his reputation, it will be difficult for him to carry the box office like Shen Teng.

Therefore, if Wang Pengpeng were to team up with a newcomer named Hua Qing to play the female lead.

Then it will be very difficult to promote the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

Li Shangling is different. She left Huaqing and is now back, which in itself brings up topics.

Moreover, if she is not allowed to play the role, the Taiwanese film studio will try to get a Taiwanese actress to play the female lead. If it were 10 years ago, this would not be a big deal.

But everyone knew what was happening on the island, and Xu Xiyu really didn't want to take this risk, because the attitude of the people over there was really hard to predict. If something unexpected happened one day, it would be a troublesome matter.

After talking about movies, Xu Xiyu and Yang Xueqing also established three projects for TV series.

Each of the three projects has its core purpose.

Let’s talk about the first one first. The two newcomers used to promote newcomers are Li Qiyang and Gulixiati, who are favored by Yang Xueqing.

Since we are promoting a new talent, it is definitely not cost-effective to invest heavily directly.

Based on this consideration, Xu Xiyu immediately thought of a drama king, which was called "The Beginning". Looking back on the past few years, there has been no better drama to promote newcomers than this one.

It is short, concise, good-looking, has a great reputation, and has low cost.

In order to increase the topic, Xu Xiyu also asked Zhang Wenyan to play the sharp criminal police captain Zhang Cheng. With his evolved acting skills, he is believed to be able to bring out the flavor of this role.

The second project is to maintain Yang Xueqing’s own popularity.

Although she wanted to be a boss, she couldn't learn from Ke Xinying. Ke Xinying could completely quit the entertainment industry now, but she couldn't.

Therefore, Xu Xiyu originally decided to shoot "The Story of Minglan", which can be said to be a "retirement drama" for many people.

The most important thing is that there are enough episodes.

The more episodes there are, the easier it is to sell.

There are many actors who can be included.

A 12-episode drama like "The Beginning" sold like hot cakes, but it still couldn't sell as well as "Knowing Your Destiny".

But the problem is that there are too many episodes and the drama is somewhat oriented towards females, so Xu Xiyu has only watched it once. He can only remember the general plot and some outstanding scenes.

In this case, he could only tell other screenwriters about his ideas and let them write the script. If the script was good, he would shoot it next time the project was approved.

He turned around and picked up another hit drama that he had watched several times and could remember more content. This drama was called "Nirvana in Fire", and Yang Xueqing was arranged to play Princess Nihuang.

Therefore, "Nirvana in Fire" is Xuejian's second project. This drama has 54 episodes and is also a big drama, so the production cycle will not be short.

As for the third project, it has multiple purposes.

First of all, it is to try what Hu Ningtian said, to target the international market.

Secondly, Xu Xiyu wanted to test his ability to localize foreign dramas.

Finally, let’s see if Lu Qinyao can win the Best Actress award.

In fact, she will definitely get it, because Xu Xiyu has opened up all the channels. It's hard to say about the Feitian Award, but at least one of the Golden Eagle and Magnolia Awards must be given to Lu Qinyao. If she doesn't get it this time, she must get it next time.

It’s like the Hong Kong Film Awards, Golden Rooster Awards, and Golden Horse Awards have already been reserved by Xu Xiyu.

Capital is sometimes like this. When Xu Xiyu gave up his interests, those who received the interests had to give something in return.

Of course, Lu Qinyao naturally didn't know all this.

Xu Xiyu would also try his best to keep it a secret from her, because some things would become distorted once they were known.

Based on the above purpose.

Xu Xiyu's third TV series is adapted from the highly rated American TV series "Westworld".

Those who have watched "Westworld" should know that this drama is about a company building a huge high-tech adult theme park in the future.

Here, there are lifelike machine "receptionists" who act as NPCs, providing tourists with indulgence in desires such as lust and violence.

After the story begins, the heroine and some robots become self-aware and begin to rebel.

Of course, in the context of China, the world of western cowboys is really somewhat out of place.

Therefore, Xu Xiyu changed the background.

Precisely because of the change, Xu Xiyu is not sure whether the drama will fail.

However, even if he failed, he could accept it.

Anyway, with "Beginning" and "Nirvana in Fire", the ten-episode "Westworld" will not really have much impact on Xuejian Pictures.

At most, someone will take the opportunity to discredit Xu Xiyu.

But the situation won’t last long, because Xu Xiyu still has two trump cards in his hand.

The first one is a binary shadow project.

That’s right, after 10 days of negotiations, the company finally reached a shareholding cooperation plan with Huaqing and Xiaotaishan.

Among them, Xiao Moss plans to buy 45% of the shares, Huaqing plans to buy 35%, and the remaining 20% ​​will be left to the founding team.

Of course, the acquisition is still in process.

But the project is already moving forward, and that project is "Wall-E", but Xu Xiyu named it "Wall-E".

This movie is awesome. It won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film, beating out Kung Fu Panda.

It grossed $08 million worldwide when it was released in 5.2. It can be said to be one of Pixar's best works, with both box office success and positive reviews.

The second trump card is the novel of "The Three-Body Problem". Xu Xiyu feels that he must write it next year, otherwise it will be too late.

He was determined to film the TV series "The Three-Body Problem".

But this TV series would indeed be much inferior if it did not have the novel as a basis.

To sum up, last year was a time for Hua Qing to try her hand.

In the next two years, Hua Qing will take off in a big way, and he wants to ensure that Hua Qing's excellent works continue to appear on the market, one after another.

Only in this way can Hua Qing, or he himself, be completely different from other practitioners and companies.

This is important, it's his amulet.

Therefore, even though the project schedule is so full, Xu Xiyu still has some spare time just in case.
