China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 83
He Hua has watched too many bad IP dramas of this kind in the player, such as countless versions of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Except for the "Exquisite Ancient City" by Noon Sunshine and the few films starring Pan Yueming, it is not bad.

The rest, such as "Makino's Strange Story", "Wuxia Coffin Mountain", "Longling Shrine" and various online dramas, made people speechless. He Hua saw the comments of netizens on the bullet screen: the special effects were [-] cents, the plot was shocking, and the performance was embarrassing. He felt that what these netizens said was too correct.

He Hua thinks that IP does have advantages, and the early market verification is one of them. It can use non-film and television channels to better forge its underlying foundation and better directly form an interactive effect with the audience.

That's why he asked Huang Lan to buy some.

But it still has to abide by the rules of the film and television industry in essence. Whether it can make a good work depends on whether the screenwriter can perfectly integrate it into the language of film and television and hand it over to the appropriate team to produce it.

Just like what he advised Huang Lan, don't put the cart before the horse.

After hanging up the phone, He Hua called Huang Lan's secretary, Jia Jia, and asked her to pay more attention to Huang Lan's work status in the past few days and report to him in time.

After waiting for two days to confirm that Huang Lan should think clearly, He Hua contacted her:
"The work of the crew here is almost finished, come over here, it is expected to be completed the day after tomorrow."

"it is good."

The filming of "Little Cook" took nearly 80 days, and the investment of 600 million yuan is almost gone. It has not yet been put into post-production.

He Hua was a little speechless towards Zhang Kaizhou's team.

In the later stage of filming, I often saw the producer and executive arranged by Huang Lan quarreling with Zhang Kaizhou's production team.

At the beginning, He Hua tried to persuade him, and both sides made peace with each other.

After watching the executive producer, Huang Lan scolded and cried, and a little girl from his own company looked at him with tears in his eyes. He Hua had no choice but to go to Zhang Kaizhou and severely criticize their behavior.

But Zhang Kaizhou showed He Hua the footage he had shot, and explained to He Hua where the money was spent. After talking for nearly an hour, He Hua was finally convinced, and smiled wryly:
"I don't care anymore, you and Huang Lan go and have a fight, as long as I can convince her, I will do whatever."

Because of this matter, Huang Lan often called him and told He Hua:
"You are the boss, the investor, not the production team. Their behavior is wrong. You can't encourage their arrogance."

He Hua's perfunctory "hmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" goes in one ear and out the other, and doesn't take Huang Lan's words to heart at all.

In fact, He Hua's mentality has always been the same. He feels that as long as the purpose is for the good of the show, some excessive behavior is acceptable.

For example, Sun Honglei and Yao Chen won the original version of "Latent" at the beginning.

Or the "Little Chef" crew Chen Xiao and Zhang Kaizhou discussed changing the lyrics, even exceeding the budget.

But some things he couldn't accept. For example, Tang Ren revised the script in order to show the director's authority. This may be his subjective assumption, but he just refused.

Anyway, the final result is that "Little Cook" is estimated to be about 20% over budget. Fortunately, "Latent" has been invested. If He Hua really doesn't know where to spend the money, the book's edition fee will not be much.

At the wrap-up banquet on June 6.

This time, He Hua didn't hide from drinking anymore. After all, this was the first drama produced by his company, and he followed it from the beginning to now, and he had feelings for half a year. He also took advantage of the wine to speak the truth to these friends.

"Director Zhang, don't take Sister Lan's words to heart, you two are for the good of this drama."

He Hua put his hand on Zhang Kaizhou's shoulder and talked to Zhang Kaizhou, he drank a little too much.

"Don't worry, Huazi, I know, I have never been angry, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity"

He Hua put down his glass and shook his hand, interrupting him:
"No, no, no, you are talented. Even without us, you will be successful sooner or later. You are talented, and you have great talent."

Zhang Kaizhou's eyes were red, and his voice was a little choked up:

"It's you who gave me a high look. In Shanying, I really... I really don't want to talk about it, drink."

The two drank the wine in one gulp.

Zhang Kaizhou picked up the wine dispenser and refilled it.

Seeing this, Zhang Jianing on the side quickly stepped forward to interrupt the two of them:
"Director Zhang, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Seeing Zhang Jianing like this, He Hua happily recommended it to Zhang Kaizhou:
"Director Zhang, what about Jia Ning, I see her as my younger sister, and I will recommend her more when there are good dramas in the future, she"

Before He Hua could finish speaking, Huang Lan pulled him aside, preventing him from continuing.

This man kept his mouth shut after drinking.

After a while, He Hua chatted with other people again,
"Junior Brother, your ancient costume looks good. Really, listen to Senior Brother. Now you can gain a firm foothold in ancient costume dramas, hone your acting skills, and then make real dramas. You must have a bright future."

"Okay, I'll listen to my brother."

"That's right, senior brother won't harm you."

This is Chen Xiao.

"Yang Yang, haven't you had a drink?"

Seeing He Hua approaching, Yang Yang quickly stood up and called, "Brother Hua, I didn't drink."

"Just sit and sit, it's fine if you don't drink, you are still young, drinking is not good for your health."

Yang Yang nodded with an open-minded appearance.

""Dream of Red Mansions" will start filming after returning home, you"

Speaking of this, He Hua became a little sober, and he didn't know what to say about the farce, so he could only say "come on" in a disguised way.

Yang Yang looked at He Hua's expression, and combined with the two questions He Hua had asked him before, he knew that He Hua was not optimistic about "New Dream of Red Mansions".

Thinking of the shooting these days, although the crew is not rich, the production is not sloppy at all, the service is very exquisite, and the director's requirements are also high.

An idea suddenly popped up in Yang Yang's mind, stopped He Hua, and mustered up his courage:

"Brother Hua, can I still act in your play in the future?"

He Hua stood still and thought to himself: How can I know if Li Shaohong will let you act or not.But still nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, there will be a chance."

He thought Yang Yang was just asking casually flatteringly, so he didn't take it too seriously, and left after answering.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yang quickly turned around and took an unknown wine glass from the table, held it with both hands, and solemnly said to He Hua:

"Thank you Brother Hua for giving me the opportunity, I respect you!"

Then he drank it all in one gulp, maybe because he had never drank liquor before, or because he drank it too quickly, Yang Yang's face turned red from choking, and he turned around and coughed several times.

He Hua hurriedly patted his back for him, and complained with a smile on his mouth: "I just said that you are not allowed to drink, so you just come here for a while, and confront the investors. I dare not use it even if I want to."

Yang Yang became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly held back his cough to explain to He Hua.

He Hua hurriedly pressed his shoulder: "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding with you, sit down and eat some food, drink some drinks."

"A suitable character will think of you.",

Yang Yang felt relieved after hearing this, and picked up the drink beside him and drank it.
