Chapter 62 Teacher Chi joins the group, everyone gets out of the way
At this moment, many names are densely recorded in the small notebook.

In addition to "Love O2O", there are also similar works like "Love O2O" and "Go Go Squid!", as well as some Japanese and Korean blockbuster works with explosive reputation.

But without exception, the projects in the selection area have several things in common.

1. The investment is not as much as other themes - there is no money. Karl Lagerfeld invested once from his personal treasury, but after the album, he will definitely have to continue investing in film and television, otherwise it will not be enough.

2. It earns more money than other themes and has a good reputation. It can not only quickly accumulate wealth, but also make Ikeno himself quickly popular - maximize benefits + make money.

He is now working alone as his own boss. He cannot let the studio suffer losses at the start, and he cannot lose all the money that Karl Lagerfeld has worked hard to save.

Only with money can one have capital and take off. This is his plan.

As for movies...it's not like he hasn't thought about it.

But, firstly, it is impossible to squeeze in. That circle is notoriously closed and it is difficult to move forward without connections. Secondly, the investment is bigger than that of the TV series. The studio has just been established and is too small to operate at all now.

Therefore, if possible, Ikeno wants to maximize his profits, and the stove stand on the kang is prone to getting stuck.

Of course, the project list is long, but he is the only studio artist now.

The most important thing right now is "Cycle".

"Loop" is scheduled to start filming tomorrow.

The filming location was in Haixi City, and some scenes were also shot in a film and television city in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

After receiving the notice, Chi Ye will set off for Jiangsu and Zhejiang today.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

After Ikeno told Coco what to do, he flew to the film and television city alone.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when we landed.

Seeing Director Zhang at the airport gate, the two greeted each other and got in the car to head to the crew.

"I heard you grabbed the microphone on New Year's Eve?"

Sitting in the car, Director Zhang crossed his legs and smoked one cigarette after another. Chi Ye frowned and opened the window: "This is my first time riding in a car from the fairy world."

Then he said, "Don't spread rumors, I clearly took it."

Director Zhang: “?”

"Ahem." After coughing twice, Director Zhang asked curiously, "How's your variety show... the one that's been really popular lately, 'See You,' going on? Are you going back?"

"The contract has been terminated, and the announcement of 'See You' has disappeared."

Ikeno thought for a moment and said, "The production crew did call me yesterday and said they wanted me to continue, but isn't filming about to start? I'll have to focus on this for now."

Director Zhang nodded in satisfaction, coughed twice, and pointed at Chi Ye: "You are good, kid. You have been good since you were young. You know that our play will be a hit."

Chiye: "?"

But he ignored Director Zhang and was thinking about "See You".

Shortly after he left "See You", the program team officially announced the two new guests.

One is the well-known Prince Goose Jiang Cheng, and the other is one of the three young ladies among the four little ones, the first-line Qingyi Wen Tiaotiao.

Speaking of Jiang Cheng and Wen Tiaotiao, they do meet the selection criteria of "See You".

One of them is a well-known second-generation star, a younger version of Yangzi, who is trying his best to become famous, while the other is famous for being serious.

In a certain acting variety show, she, as a mentor, actually got furious and threw things on the spot because the two apples in the audition were different in shape, scaring the students to tremble.

Everyone says I'm a big shot, but that guy is the real deal!
But Qingyi is Qingyi, and she is very powerful, so she doesn't care about these things at all.

This time she came to "See You", probably her team wanted to whitewash her.

But her and Jiang Cheng's #jumping into the river CP#... ahem, this was of course something Ikeno came up with herself, but it didn't seem to spark any sparks, and they almost got into a fight on the spot...

The reason was that Jiang Cheng wanted to hold Wen Tiaotiao's hand during a certain mission, but Wen Tiaotiao refused. As a conditioned reflex, he almost swung a big punch at him.

Pointing at Jiang Cheng and cursing at him, it became a hot topic on the same day.

It's just a pity for Karl Lagerfeld.

Ever since Chi Ye left, Lao Fuye has become listless in "See You". She is basically not active in anything. When she sits on the sofa and stares at the fruit plate on the coffee table, no one secretly brings her spicy noodles anymore...

Not interesting!
So this summer has taken the opportunity to temporarily leave the "See You" cabin these days to run promotions.

"If you ask me, 'See You' is about to air, and without you and Jin Xia, it feels like the popularity isn't as high as before."

Director Zhang is also a loyal fan of the extremely dramatic variety show "See You". Now that the main character is right next to him, he can't help but complain.

"It's okay, at least the first few episodes should be pretty exciting."

Ikeno was thinking about the content of "See You" a few days ago, and even though he was the person involved, he couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Ahem...um, you should meet with Ran Qiao later. The male and female leads only met the day before filming started, so it's a bit late."

Director Zhang sounded regretful.

Although there aren't many romances in "Loop," there are some.

And now he was feeling a little suspicious.

——Before, because he couldn’t resist the temptation of a good story, he “let the wolf into the house”. Now that the filming has started, will Ikeno’s acting skills be up to the test?
Ran Qiao debuted as a child star and is a rare talented actor who was selected through a serious audition.

If the male lead can't keep up with the female lead's performance, then "Cycle" will be ruined!
Ikeno glanced at him and saw him coughing again while lighting a cigarette.

"What's your QQ? Why are you getting these constant message notifications?" Ikeno couldn't help but ask, "Are these messages from the cancer cells in your body?"

Director Zhang: "..."

With that mouth of yours, be careful or you’ll get beaten to death on the set!
……

at the same time.

The crew of "Loop", inside a RV.

Ran Qiao, who is only 19 years old this year, has a solemn expression and sits on the sofa in a relaxed posture, with a skewers in his hands, turning a page of the script from time to time and taking a sip of the thermos cup.

The aunt next to her, who was in her forties or fifties and was also her assistant, looked anxious: "Ranran, how can you still sit still!"

Ran Qiao: “Meh?”

She raised her head doubtfully, revealing a delicate little face with a pair of eyes as clear and bright as autumn water. "What's wrong, aunt? Why can't I sit down?"

"Do I have to stand? Standing for a long time is not good for blood circulation in the legs."

Auntie: "..."

"Silly boy, Chi Ye! I heard that Chi Ye is going to join the crew today, and you are still acting like nothing happened. What if...what if he just rushes into the car and rubs against it?"

Ran Qiao: “…”

After a long silence, he said, "Aunt, don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen."

Auntie was surprised: "Why?"

"Because I'm not popular, why would he want to get close to me? Is he trying to get close to me?"

Auntie: "..."

He mused, "That's true... but we can't let our guard down. After all, he has a nasty reputation... I mean, why did Director Zhang choose him as the male lead? This is your first time playing the female lead!"

"It's ruined just like that."

"Auntie." Ran Qiao frowned and said earnestly, "You are too impatient. Look, I am not anxious at all, so why are you anxious? Chi Ye is not a monster, so why do you say he is so scary?"

"We can't look at people through tinted glasses. You've only been in this industry for a short time. Watch more and learn more."

Aunt: "...Yes, young lady, you are right. I am too young."

Ran Qiao sighed and was about to continue speaking.

"Hey, where's the heroine? Come out and let me rub against her."

A pleasant, magnetic male voice rang out, leaving Ran Qiao stunned. Then, the familiar voice of Director Zhang rang out: "Ahem... No, can you be more normal? Don't scare the kid!"

"You're an adult now, what's the point of being a kid?" Ikeno continued, "I won't piggyback on an unknown person. Let her become famous quickly. If she doesn't become famous, I won't piggyback on her."

Ran Qiao's little face was already full of black lines.

The aunt was gloating beside him: "See? You don't listen to the old people..."

"Happy for a hundred years!"

Ran Qiao blocked her aunt's mouth, slowly stood up, and got out of the car with a thermos cup in hand: "Let's go down and say hello."

Auntie: "..."

Sighing, he followed along.

Ikeno had just walked over with Director Zhang when he saw a young and pretty girl wearing a blue hoodie and jeans walking down.

I greeted him politely: "Hello, Teacher Chi."

"Hello."

Chi Ye's eyes fell on the skewers in the other person's hand and he said curiously, "Your hobby is quite unique."

Ran Qiao: “…”

Nodding, "I usually like to take inventory."

"What else do you like?"

"Huh?" Ran Qiao was startled. "Does studying health preservation count as fishing?"

"Never mind." Ikeno was disappointed: "These hobbies are really good, pretty good."

"Really?" Ran Qiao was delighted to hear this, and even her impression of Chi Ye changed.

It's not as ferocious as people say.

"Of course." Chi Ye agreed: "You have saved yourself at least eighty years of detours."

Ran Qiao: “…”

Well, still pretty ferocious.

"Well, let's go inside and talk."

Director Zhang rubbed his hands and motioned everyone to go into the house.

At this moment, there were already several people sitting in the room, all of them familiar faces on TV.

For example, Mr. Liu who played the uncle captain in "Loop", as well as supporting roles in several popular film and television dramas.

I heard that the director in the drama is played by a first-line Qingyi actor who is making a friendly guest appearance, and the villain driver is also a veteran actor.

This made Chi Ye have to look at Director Zhang and Hanxing Entertainment with new eyes.

——Sure, this connection.

Director Zhang said nothing, but just introduced Ikeno to everyone.

Actually, no introduction is needed.

Because anyone who has been paying attention to the recent developments in the circle knows the name Ikeno.

It's just taking advantage of the situation...it's the small traffic that terminated the contract.

Teacher Liu and the others greeted Chi Ye politely, then nodded to Ran Qiao in an obviously gentle manner before discussing the script.

The first time the main creators of "Loop" gathered together, of course they had to hold a script reading session.

Ikeno really liked this atmosphere and felt it was much better than the crew he had imagined.

"Director, this new version of the script is really good."

As the most senior and influential member of the "Cycle" crew, Mr. Liu expressed his love for the new script of "Cycle": "When I read the script before, I was only interested in the subject matter."

"To be honest, the story was actually a little lacking, but I didn't expect that the new version you made would be so much more exciting."

Teacher Liu is a veteran actor, and his requirements for accepting roles are actually quite high, so he will naturally read the script.

There has always been a recognized fact in the industry - that is, the quality of a TV series depends on the script, and the quality of a movie depends on the director.

What this means is that the final quality and performance of a TV series mostly depends on the level of the screenwriter.

Because the TV series is long enough, the audience watches it for the story.

The movie is the complete opposite.

The story within two or three hours is limited, and what matters more is the director's shooting style, techniques, special effects, visual art, and even music.

Therefore, the film industry is generally director-centered, and the director has absolute say.

However, the TV drama industry is often producer-centered, and the few directors with some power also have to discuss with the producers and production companies.

A small number of popular screenwriters also have a certain say.

For example, the project "Loop" was written and directed by the director himself, and he also had connections, so apart from the producer, he was the most powerful person.

"Hmm... I consulted another screenwriter about this. My version really had too many flaws. This one is perfect."

Director Zhang originally wanted to say that it was Ikeno who revised it, but when he saw the producer sitting opposite him, boredly browsing his phone, he shut up in disappointment.

"Don't poke the needle, isn't that screenwriter teacher here today?"

Teacher Liu glanced at everyone in the room and said, "I want to meet him too."

"Well, the screenwriter teacher doesn't have time, but he will come over when he has the chance..."

Director Zhang paused and looked at Chi Ye.

Ikeno also blinked and said, "This screenwriter is really a genius!"

Director Zhang: "..."

"Yes, Xiaochi is right." Teacher Liu nodded in approval and looked at Ikeno with new eyes: "The script you picked is really good, Xiaochi. Really, this kind of subject matter can easily achieve success if it is filmed well."

Xiao Chi said nothing, but just kept praising him: "Yes, Teacher Liu is absolutely right. I think this screenwriter is very good. How can there be such a talented screenwriter?"

Ran Qiao, who was sitting below Chi Ye, found what he said a bit strange, but nodded and said crisply, "That's really good... Then let's discuss our respective roles?"

"can."

Ikeno took the lead, showing no sign of being unfamiliar with the crew, and spoke freely: "I think the character of Xiao Heyun has three obvious personality changes throughout the play."

"At the beginning, he was initially self-protective and cautious, but as the number of cycles increased and he was influenced by the heroine Li Shiqing, his character began to change from the initial self-protection and caution to a kind-hearted one."

"Later on, he had grown into the team's leader, working with Li Shiqing to formulate various plans, check the passengers in the car, and try to find the location of the bomb and the cause of the explosion..."

"There are three levels, starting with cautious avoidance, but gradually being influenced, and finally having the courage to take responsibility."

"So I think this character is quite delicate, not a stereotyped idol drama character."

Ikeno said simply, leaving everyone bewildered.

How do you know so much about this? Didn't you just join the team today?
They have only been reading this new version of the script for a short time.

Also, this is different from the rumored Ikeno!

"What's wrong?" Chi Ye was surprised: "Isn't what I said wrong?"

"Cough cough..."

Director Zhang saw that the producer had already walked out with his phone. He coughed twice, moved closer to the crowd, and pointed at Ikeno and whispered, "He is the screenwriter of the new version of 'Loop'."

"Shh! Just keep it to the few of us. Don't tell anyone else. Otherwise, I'm afraid the investors won't pay me later..."

Everyone: "?!"
