Chapter 132 The first business meeting with Yu Zheng

Yu Shuxin felt that she would never forget the look of Zhou Le flying over her head that day.

When I sleep at night, I dream of myself running with clothes in my hand, and Zhou Le running naked in front of me.

Even if you chase, you can't catch up.

Zhou Le seemed to have endless energy.

It’s a pity that after finally catching up with Zhou Le, she woke up at the moment when Zhou Le was about to turn around.

"Is it true that people still can't dream about things they haven't seen clearly?"

Yu Shuxin sat on the bed in a daze.

He pulled the big doll beside the bed and buried his head in it.

Zhou Le found himself filming in Jiang Wen's crew.

Although the filming time is long, every day is quite interesting.

Whether you do it yourself or watch them take the photos.

The lines are very interesting.

For example, when discussing the stamping issue in the pub, Zhu Qianlong asked old Hendler whether he gave Tang Fengyi the injection in the left or right buttock.

Jiang Wen said, "It's definitely not in the middle."

The whole scene is filled with the old man's laughter.

Zhou Le could also see that Jiang Wen treated everyone equally.

Tang Fengyi was slapped by Zhu Qianlong, and then she turned around and slapped him back several times.

Li Tianran stamped Tang Fengyi, and after a few scenes, Tang Fengyi stamped Li Tianran's entire body with the stamp.

"Ah, maybe this is the taste of old men."

Zhou Le sighed as he left the crew in the car.

Yu Shuxin inevitably thought of that scene again.

Cheeks slightly red.

(Heroine Yu Shuxin)

"Yeah, but I think Director Jiang Wen is quite nice. He's always taken care of me on set and always chats with me. One time, when I was treating him to milk tea, I forgot to change my voice and asked Director Jiang Wen in a pinched voice what flavor he wanted. He even said I was cute."

Zhou Le looked at Yu Shuxin beside him: "What do you say?"

"I apologized, saying that I was used to creating a persona and couldn't change it right away. He said it was fine and that I was likable. Even Sister Yun wanted to adopt me as her goddaughter."

Zhou Le also just found out about this: "Where's Director Jiang?"

"He said that it's up to each of us. Sister Yun can adopt a goddaughter, but he can't. He can only adopt a godson, otherwise I will be criticized."

"It's really authentic." Zhou Le said.

However, this time he left the crew because most of the pre-planned plots for "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" have been completed recently.

Zhou Le is going back to continue filming "Speeding Life".

However, in Shanghai, there are not many shots of Zhou Le, and most of the filming revolves around the male lead Shen Teng.

So we all got together on the first day after returning.

The next day, the crew was preparing for the filming and they also went to the 333 racing team to drive a car for several hours.

Finally came back to shoot.

Shoot one segment during the day and one segment at night.

A small part of Zhou Le's return scene has been completed.

"Le'er, are you in a hurry to come back this time?" Han Han asked that night.

Zhou Le thought about it: "It's quite tight. Director Jiang and I told each other that we have to shoot for at least another month after we come back."

Han Han: “.”

He remembered that this was not what he said on the phone. At that time, he said that Zhou Le's scenes were simple and could be filmed in three to five days.

Did Zhou Le take kickbacks again?
"Okay, whatever you want. Do you have anything else to do?"

"Indeed, I just received a script and planned to work on it myself, but I have no people and no money, so I have to find a partner."

Han Han became interested.

"A script that can be taken on by a stingy person like you must be very good. Tell me about it?"

“It’s just a TV show.”

Han Han lost interest as soon as Zhou Le opened his mouth.

In his opinion, TV dramas are boring.

Zhou Le could only find someone else.

But Zhou Le only knows a few companies that can do film and television development, and the first one is naturally Noon Sunshine.

But the tone of Noon Sunshine's drama is not quite compatible with "Story of Yanxi Palace".

The only other options are Jiaxing where Yang Mi is and Tangren where Nazha is.

But the biggest problem on both sides is that there are too many traffic stars.

If you go to these two companies, you must give up the leading female role.

But the problem is that Zhou Le uses this drama to make money and promote Tian Xiwei, and the leading female role is impossible to be given to anyone else.

As for the others, I'm not very familiar with them.

But on the next morning, things turned around.

When senior executives from Huanyu Entertainment and director Hui Kaidong from Yu Zheng Studio were having dinner with an adaptation author and the platform the other party worked for, they talked about a friend selling the script of "Story of Yanxi Palace".

Hui Kaidong then went back and looked it up online out of curiosity.

I found out that the original author has already started serializing the original online novel.

I read some of the content.

Yu Zheng was found on the spot.

As soon as Yu Zheng read the original novel, he immediately started asking who the script was sold to.

This book is just right for me.

Finally, after asking around, the question came to Zhou Le.

"Hello, hello, is this Mr. Zhou Lezhou?"

Zhou Le didn't recognize the voice, but since he could call him, he must be someone in the circle.

"Hello, it's me. May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Yu Zheng."

Zhou Le perked up when he heard the name.

He knows it very well.

Many of the popular post-85 flowers were made famous by Yu Zheng, and some older actors also became popular again with the help of Yu Zheng.

Although it is on the hot search every other day.

Either he is suspected of plagiarism, or he is suspected of being a big shot, or he is suspected of being mean to the actors, or he has quarreled with a director, or he has taken the initiative to start a group with others.

But whenever it was a hot topic on the drama, it was Yu Zheng himself who was scolded. He attracted all the attention, and the actors in the crew were basically not exposed to any tension.

Zhou Le didn’t understand these things before.

If someone scolds you, just follow suit.

But then I realized that if you look at it this way, how can anyone not be scolded?
But I have to say that the dramas made by Yu Zheng are really great.

"Director Yu, I've heard a lot about you. I've always wanted to work with you."

"Haha, Mr. Zhou, you're welcome. First of all, congratulations to Mr. Zhou on the box office success of the movie he starred in."

"Thank you, Director Yu."

"Haha, I'm calling this time because I accidentally learned that Teacher Zhou bought a pretty good notebook."

As soon as Zhou Le heard it, he knew that the other party was here for "Story of Yanxi Palace".

"Director Yu is talking about Story of Yanxi Palace, right?"

"Yes, that's it. I wanted to ask Mr. Zhou if he has any plans to transfer this script."

Zhou Le sighed, "As for the transfer, I'm probably not in a position to do it. After all, I have an artist under me who is perfect for this drama, and I want her to play the leading female role."

Yu Zheng also understood what Zhou Le meant.

This is normal.

After he finished reading the original novel that was currently being serialized by the original author, the first thing he thought of was how to use it to praise Wu Jinyan.

But this script is really interesting.

Yu Zheng didn't want to give up.

"In that case, why don't we talk in person? Where is Teacher Zhou now?" "I'm in Shanghai."

"Then, when is Teacher Zhou free? I can come over anytime, and I'll treat you and we can chat, how about that?"

"Sure, I'm free these few days."

"Then I'll go over this afternoon?"

Zhou Le thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I go to Dongyang? It's not far away anyway. My artist just finished filming a movie, so I can call him over then."

"Teacher Zhou is so polite. I'll set up the banquet here first, and then I'll invite a few people. It will be more lively when we have more people."

"no problem."

Zhou Le prepared something in the morning.

Anyway, my bargaining chip now is the script. I don’t have any other requirements. As long as I can get investment and make some money, and then give Tian Xiwei the leading female role, it’s okay to make minor adjustments to the script, as long as Tian Xiwei can be highlighted.

As for other chips that can be given out.

Zhou Le himself has no interest and no time to act, and Yin Zheng does not quite fit the tone of the show.

After all, since I'm going there, I have to play the leading role.

But Yin Zheng's temperament is still not up to par for the role of the emperor, and in a drama with a strong female lead, the male lead's character is not very outstanding.

There is no need to go.

It just so happened that Tian Xiwei had almost finished filming her drama in Hengdian.

Before leaving, Zhou Le called Su Yingxia.

Talked about the dinner party in the evening.

"Come over when the time comes," Zhou Le said.

But Su Yingxia thought about it and said: "That's fine. You will definitely have some things that are not convenient to say at that time. But when will Brother Le arrive? I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you a little bit."

"Around three or four in the afternoon, but just a little bit?"

"Oh, do I have to say it? I miss you so much. In fact, every day when I'm bored, I go online to check out your videos and trending searches."

"Then I'll go over in the morning. There's nothing else to do here anyway. We can meet up and check it out ourselves then."

Zhou Le immediately took Yu Shuxin to Hengdian.

When we arrived, Su Yingxia had already arranged a private room for us.

Four people sat at a table.

In the middle is Zhou Le, on the left is Su Yingxia, and on the right is Yu Shuxin.

Originally, Yu Shuxin wanted Tian Xiwei to sit on his right.

But Tian Xiwei refused to sit down no matter what and insisted on sitting at the bottom seat.

(Oda)
Zhou Le looked at this happy scene and felt it was quite harmonious.

As long as these people don't quarrel with each other all the time.

"We won't drink alcohol today, just juice."

Zhou Lecai spoke after the four of them met once.

"This is our company's second meeting. It's mainly about three things. The first is that I plan to sign Meng Ziyi in a few days. She should then join me on the set of 'Joy of Life'."

Yu Shuxin heard this: "Wow~"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Le sighed, "They're normal, but didn't you know about this a long time ago?"

Tian Xiwei then followed suit and exclaimed "Wow".

Also very cute.

"The second thing is that Yin Zheng is also joining our company. Although he came later, his acting skills are much better than all of you. If you have any questions, you can ask him for advice."

"Yin Zheng, is that Yuan Hua?"

Tian Xiwei asked.

"Yes, that's him."

"Wow, is Yuan Hua coming to our company too? I loved watching "Charlotte's Troubles" and I thought Yuan Hua was the funniest. Brother Le, you're really amazing to even get Yuan Hua here."

"The main reason is that we get along well, and we might collaborate on other projects in the future." Zhou Le continued, "The third thing is the script for 'Story of Yanxi Palace'. I plan to strike while the iron is hot and let Xiaotian play the leading female role. That way, Xiaotian can also act in Wang Jun's drama next year.

I'm going to have dinner with Yu Zheng and the others in the evening, and we'll talk about this then. I had originally planned to find a role for Shuxin, but now Shuxin only wants to act in movies, so she didn't appear. The others also couldn't make time for it, otherwise they could have arranged it.

So this time I plan to release all the characters except Oda, so that we can become friends and collaborate with them on good projects in the future."

Several people had no objection to this.

But after talking about business, Yu Shuxin and Tian Xiwei began to praise Zhou Le non-stop, and Su Yingxia only responded with a few words at critical moments throughout the whole process.

The rest of the time is as stable as a rock.

After dinner, Yu Shuxin took the initiative to ask to talk to Xiaotian in the same room, and winked at Zhou Le before leaving.

But then Su Yingxia took the initiative to say, "Brother Le, let me report to you on some other matters, namely your recent online business, the company's recent financial situation, and your salary for joining other crews in the future."

"it is good."

Then the two of them went into the house.

Then he went into the bathroom.

It’s just that the reporting process is intermittent.

"Brother Le, slow down and let me finish this sentence."

Su Yingxia grabbed Zhou Le's arm and said.

"It's okay, I can hear you clearly."

Zhou Le didn't care at all.

The report was divided into two parts, and Zhou Le and Su Yingxia were also divided into two sessions.

the other side.

Yu Zheng is also contacting people.

He also knew the general content of the script. Although he had not read it, he believed that it was definitely similar to the original work.

However, if Zhou Le wants to support Tian Xiwei, Wu Jinyan will definitely not be able to go.

But Zhou Le didn’t say anything about other male artists, which means there is a chance.

However, it would not work if I only brought male artists with me.

After thinking about it, I called Bai Lu.

In the past, Bai Lu was actually just there to support the occasion. After all, Bai Lu had just finished filming "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix", in which she played two roles. According to the normal path, her next step would be to be the main star in variety shows and play the leading female role in other TV dramas.

Otherwise, a span that is too long will not be beneficial to career development.

Bai Lu didn't refuse either.

After all, it’s good to know more people, and there’s also Zhou Le, who is famous for his abstract works and is currently starring in the hit TV series "Dying to Survive".

So, that night.

Zhou Le brought three people, and Yu Zheng brought four people.

Nie Yuan, Xu Kai, Bai Lu and director Hui Kaidong.

We got to know each other.

Later, while waiting for the food to be served, Zhou Le learned that Yu Zheng was basically no longer a director, and was basically playing the role of producer in the crew.

Therefore, even if this "Story of Yanxi Palace" is to be filmed, the director will still be Hui Kaidong, but Yu Zheng will definitely follow and control the whole process.

It’s just like Zhang Da Huzi’s later path.

It’s just that in movies, directors retreat to the second line and are used to being producers, while in TV dramas they are producers.

"That's fine too. I naturally trust Director Yu very much."

Zhou Le said with a smile.

That night, Zhou Le gained experience points while chatting.

In fact, one thing Zhou Le is optimistic about Yu Zheng is that in the TV series directed by Yu Zheng, the actors’ pay is actually not very high.

And they rarely use traffic stars.

Most of the money can be spent on filming.

Of course, a portion of the profits will be taken, but this is recognized by the industry. Who would make a movie if it doesn’t make money?

Is it really just for love?
Finally, the few people preliminarily agreed that the female lead would be Tian Xiwei, the male lead would be Nie Yuan, and Xu Kai would also play a role. The rest would go through auditions.

Yu Zheng personally supervised it.

The other main actors are all cheap actors with good acting skills.

At the same time, both companies will invest some money and then seek some sponsorship from outside.
But the most crucial point is that the drama must be exclusively broadcast on Tencent Video.
