The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 319 Knowing when to advance and when to retreat
"I feel that the current script framework is a bit messy. If we follow this line of thought and emphasize the role of the Q organization, will it be somewhat disconnected from the main plot of the movie? Will it make the audience feel that the connection is forced? However, the script is not finished yet, so I can't say anything really useful.

"To expand the Tang Detective universe, it is really difficult to combine the setting and the plot to make them balanced. My previous two scripts were mainly controlled by you, brother Cheng. I just worked on some details. Anyway, brother Cheng will definitely have no problem with the general direction. When the time comes, I will ask the screenwriter to polish the details and make sure there are no logical flaws in the small details."

Xu Xing casually flipped through the draft script of the movie "Detective Chinatown 3" that he had just watched and expressed his own views.

The script was not a first version, but a prototype, a thin seven pages with few details, and it was not completely finished. However, director Chen Shicheng made an appointment to meet Xu Xing early to ask for his opinion.

Showed great respect for Xu Xing.

After all, Xu Xing is becoming more and more popular, and his position in the Tang Detective universe is becoming more and more important.

The movie "Detective Chinatown 1" is the beginning of the Chinatown Detective universe, but it was the movie "Detective Chinatown 2" and the TV series "Detective Chinatown 1" that expanded and initially built the IP universe framework, and opened new stories to make the universe fuller and more vivid. Both of these are projects where Xu Xing is the screenwriter.

Xu Xing spoke very politely and complimented Chen Shicheng, saying that he was the one in control of the general direction.

But in fact, after Xu Xing threw out the script of "Detective Chinatown 2" early on, Chen Shicheng considered for a long time about the detective party, APP rankings, and other things that built the IP universe, and finally decided to adopt them all.

In fact, Chen Shicheng controls the small details.

Therefore, when Chen Shicheng said this to Xu Xing, he looked very pleased.

On the surface, Xu Xing's behavior has always been that of someone who knows when to advance and when to retreat.

For example, he did not express his disgust towards Chen Shicheng's intention to add his name to the screenwriter list of "Detective Chinatown 2".

He had no objection to not letting him be the screenwriter of "Detective Chinatown 3" and even took the initiative to say that he wanted to make a TV series. At that time, Chen Shicheng nodded with great satisfaction, feeling that Xu Xing really had a sincere love for detective stories.

But... the huge success of "Detective Chinatown 2" and a series of subsequent changes in circumstances have made Chen Shicheng now regret that he easily agreed to use Xu Xing's script.

Because, Chen Si thought back and found that at the most important node of the Tang Detective universe, two projects, "Tang Detective 2" and "Tang Detective" TV series, were "preempted" by Xu Xing... "Tang Detective" TV series will start shooting soon and will be broadcast next year. And the movie "Tang Detective 3" will start shooting at the earliest in the middle of next year.

Moreover, Chen Shicheng originally wanted to add his own name to the list of screenwriters of "Detective Chinatown 2" so as to "weaken" the importance of screenwriter Xu Xing. However, he did not expect to shoot himself in the foot. Because of this name, he was attacked by Xu Xing's fans, saying that the original script was good and he ruined it... It's really painful!
Then Chen Sicheng discovered that the time Xu Xing took out the scripts for the movie "Detective Chinatown 2" and the TV series "Detective Chinatown" was really "toxic", leaving him with almost no reason to refuse every time.

Does Xu Xing really just love detective stories...

It was hard for Chen Shicheng not to think so.

"Let Xu Xing be the screenwriter!"

"Why doesn't Xu Xing write the script for the third part?"

"Don't underestimate Xu Xing!"

"Wouldn't it be better to let Xu Xing write it?"

"This story doesn't sound as exciting as Xu Xing's "The Accidental Murder"!"

"Let's ask Xu Xing for his opinion."

"Then I'll call Xu Xing. He'll have to find time even if he doesn't have time!"

Since the project of "Detective Chinatown 3" began, the voices of "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you" from all sides made Chen Shicheng feel extremely painful.

Really served!

Xu Xing's scripts are only really good in "Accidental Manslaughter". How can "Detective Chinatown 2" "copy" "Double Vision" have such talent? Any other screenwriter can't do it?

But it is fortunate that fortunately fortunately fortunately fortunately fortunately fortunately...

Well, Chen Shicheng is now asking Xu Xing for his opinion as they wished.

I asked, Xu Xing has no objection!
Then came——

"Xiao Xing, do you have any new ideas? If they are good ideas, don't keep them to yourself. We can rewrite the story of Detective Chinatown 3."

Chen Shicheng's test was both tactful and direct.

Let’s see whether Xu Xing has the “evil ambition” to interfere in “Detective Chinatown 3”?
"How can I have any ideas?" Xu Xing sighed helplessly. "I'm working on three scripts right now. I'm so busy every day. I feel like all the inspiration in my mind has dried up. I'm completely drained. I guess you, Brother Cheng, have experienced this feeling of being drained too!"

"really."

Chen Shicheng chuckled, looking particularly wretched.

Being drained really is... He felt that Xu Xing said that on purpose.

It is a tacit understanding in the circle and rumors are flying everywhere outside the circle. Xu Xing is young and playful, and he also likes to play. Speaking to him, who has been screwed by others many times before and has been exposed many times, it must be a deliberate pun.

It was at this time that Chen Shicheng felt that Xu Xing was a young man after all and would have more favorable impressions of him.

Well, Xu Xing is indeed well-behaved. It seems that he will focus his main attention on his own projects in the future!

I asked, Xu Xing doesn’t have the energy to write the script for "Detective Chinatown 3"!

Today's goal was successfully achieved, and Chen Sicheng, in a good mood, chatted with Xu Xing for a while.

Let's talk about Xu Xing's three projects, praise Xu Xing's achievements at a young age, mention Xu Xing's new single, brag about Xu Xing's unrivaled popularity, talk about that report, and help criticize the despicable and shameless United States.

There was laughter and chatter, with a few jokes in between that all men could understand.

Perfect harmony.

Finally, Chen Sicheng emphasized the filming of "Accidental Murder", and made a few far-sighted remarks, encouraging Xu Xing to work together to explore the domestic suspense market.

Of course, I would also like to thank Xu Xing again for inviting Teacher Tong.

"Xiao Xing, you should go visit the set soon, you didn't even go when the filming started before."

Chen Sicheng asked.

"Yes, we'll go the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go with us? And give some guidance to the crew."

Xu Xing smiled.

"..." Chen Sicheng hesitated, then shook his head, "Hey, what can I guide? As a director, I hate it most when others tell me what to do! It's such a long trip, and my waist hurts from the plane ride." "Then I'll tell Sister Yaya that you were originally going to come, Brother Cheng."

Xu Xing took the initiative to speak.

"No need."

Chen Shicheng waved his hand and said nothing more.

In fact, Chen Shicheng had doubts about Xu Xing in his heart, but Xu Xing bought a big villa and several other houses, and rarely returned to live in Jinmao Mansion.

Moreover, Xu Xing only plays Sanhua Juding, and the studio directly supports four or five of them. How could he have the energy for that?

……

Back at the villa, two "e-sports girls", Teacher Yang Mi and Sister Cheng Xiao, were playing "Honor of Kings" enthusiastically.

The two of them lay on the sofa on either side, playing so intently that they didn't even have time to pay attention to Xu Xing.

No matter what Xu Xing did, he ignored her.

Then after comparison, we have to say that Teacher Yang is an old hand and is still stable after all.

When the top, bottom, front and back were disturbed respectively, Teacher Yang could still maintain the operation and manipulate Wang Zhaojun's crooked and twisted skills.

Sister Cheng Xiao was not so good, she could only push Yu Ji to move a few times from time to time. Xu Xing's rhythm was obviously very slow, and she had actually handled more intense challenges before.

It can only be said that despite Xu Xing's repeated warnings in advance, Teacher Yang was very humble, but Sister Cheng Xiao, who was also a teammate, was still a little reluctant.

So the loser, Sister Cheng Xiao, could only stay at the bottom.

Actually, it’s a good thing this way, as she is much healthier than Teacher Yang.

Teacher Yang is a thin guy.

It was still an extremely enjoyable day, and the feeling of having such great talents combined was amazing!
Unfortunately, Cheng Xiao, whose popularity has just skyrocketed, is too busy now, so she can only squeeze out one day to come here. But she still has to come to thank Xu Xing in the name of the game.

But it’s not a big problem.

Because Teacher Yang welcomed his third teammate, Sister Meng Ziyi - actually she was born in 94, but since it has been changed to 95, let's call her sister!

For Meng Ziyi, she really regretted not going to the United States before.

Maybe others don’t know why Xu Xing suddenly sang "Too Bad", but she knew it was because Zhang Ruonan was there.

So, what's there to be shy about?

Since Xu Xing invited him like that, it proved that Zhang Ruonan was also prepared. If Zhang Ruonan could do it, why couldn't he?

I reflected on this for several days.

After Xu Xing returned to China, he did not let her go over immediately.

Really... Think about the popular Cheng Xiao - the studio planned for Meng Ziyi to be the top star among the 95 flowers. The agent said that Xu Xing also arranged resources for Zhou Jieqiong. Those rumors that Xu Xing was the only one who led two in "Idol Producer"...

...It might be exciting.

Well, I opened a blind box.

Xu Xing said someone was there, but Meng Ziyi didn't ask who it was in advance because she wanted Xu Xing to see her attitude.

Then, Yang Mi...

It's not really surprising.

After all, the agent had tactfully mentioned the story of the two concubines in Jiaxing Palace.

Xu Xing also smiled.

"I wanted to introduce Nazha to you first, but she is currently on the set and Teacher Yang is very active."

"...Haha, next time, know each other?"

Meng Ziyi blushed and smiled awkwardly.

"Wow~" Teacher Yang, who was wearing black stockings, raised her head and panted, her tone sour, "Young sisters are so active~ Hmm~"

"..."

Meng Ziyi was even more embarrassed.

Then she just stood there in a daze until Teacher Yang became extremely miserable and embarrassed, then she suddenly came to her senses and hurried over to stand side by side with Teacher Yang to take over together.

……

Mr. Qu is really good at lying.

She clearly said that as long as Xu Xing came back, she would give Xu Xing what she wanted.

Now Xu Xing is back, but she hasn't returned to Beijing until Xu Xing boarded the plane to visit her on set.

I didn't know where she went. When I called her, she always said she was busy and hung up.

What a shameless person.

"It seems that she said she wanted to invest in a Korean film and television company and go to Korea. Didn't you just acquire one before? She said you have a good vision and she wants to follow your investment steps."

Yu Murong smiled helplessly.

"You care about her so much, is there something wrong?"
