Entertainment Empire - Chapter 910

c870 Zhu Xian Season 1

While Luo Xun was promoting “The Burning Sun”, the various departments of Yinbai were not idle either. Each department had its own division of labor. For example, the variety department had already launched a brand new variety show.

It’s called “Happy Comedian”!

Obviously, this was another creative plan from Luo Xun, and it was an idea proposed by Luo Xun last year. However, as the boss of the company, Luo Xun really only provided an idea this time. There was no need for Luo Xun to keep an eye on the specific operation. In a fashionable way, Yinbai’s variety department has grown up and is a very mature variety department. It can make some TV variety shows by itself…

Especially in the past two years.

Luo Xun almost let the variety department run freely. Many decisions were made entirely by the internal staff of Yinbai’s variety department, such as introducing new and interesting variety shows from abroad, or making some original programs by themselves.

Another example is this time.

Research the program ideas mentioned by Luo Xun and start working on them. Anyway, the department has a lot of experience in making variety shows. Yinbai’s team can even be said to be the most experienced in the industry. There is almost no waste of Luo Xun’s creativity. On the contrary, the company’s original programs occasionally suffer losses.

There are successes and failures.

But in general, most of them are successful. Moreover, the variety shows of Yinbai in the past are still very popular, and they can still get copyright fees continuously. The most representative program is probably “If You Are the One”. This program can be said to be enduring on Jiangsu Satellite TV, and naturally brings Yinbai a continuous and considerable income.

Internet.

Yinbai has been doing programs all the time. For example, the program it is preparing recently is called “This is Street Dance”. The investment in the first season is as high as 100 million yuan. Four first-line stars who are very good at dancing are invited to be captains, and then lead their students to battle.

Okay.

As soon as I heard this program, I knew it was Luo Xun’s idea again. It was the same as always. Luo Xun was only responsible for providing ideas. He didn’t ask much about the specific implementation and operation. He just asked for opinions on hiring people and some important matters. After all, the investment in “This is Street Dance” was as high as 100 million yuan, and as a boss, he couldn’t just ignore it all the time. Luo Xun would have a basic understanding of any project of the company, otherwise he would have to sign some documents and contracts with his eyes closed, which was obviously not what Luo Xun wanted.

Except for the variety show department.

Yinbai’s TV department has also been very proud recently. After all, it has launched two popular TV series in succession. Among them, “Grave Robbers’ Chronicles” is a TV series starring its own artists, which has not only made the ratings popular, but also made its own artists popular!

In comparison.

Although “Celebrating Yu Nian” is also very popular and its ratings are not inferior to the former, the male lead Hu Ge is not its own artist after all, so for Yinbai, the total revenue is inferior to the previous work.

Based on this point.

Yinbai’s TV department has started preparing new works again. This time, it is still a dual-line operation, and two TV series are being launched at the same time. Moreover, the two works to be filmed this time are both online works adapted from the company’s existing IPs. The first one is called “Zhu Xian”!

That’s right.

It is the famous online novel “Zhu Xian” that is very popular among readers. The reason why it was decided to shoot this drama was Luo Xun’s idea, because Kong Shuang once asked Luo Xun what new drama the company would shoot this year before, and Luo Xun thought of this novel at that time.

Luo Xun rarely reads online novels.

But “Zhu Xian” was one of the few online novels that Luo Xun had finished reading in his previous life. He was quite impressed by the book. Now that he had the opportunity and sufficient conditions in this life, he came up with the idea of ​​bringing it to the small screen, and he also chose Brother Hu to play the leading role: “Anyway, both sides have a certain basis for cooperation, and Brother Hu has always been suitable for this kind of work with a sense of fairy chivalry.”

“But…”

Kong Shuang said: “It’s too long.”

When Kong Shuang was in charge of hoarding copyrights, she read a lot of well-known works in the online literature circle because of work needs, including “Zhu Xian”, which is highly praised in the online literature circle. So she knew that it was not easy to film this novel. The original restoration of the plot might push the cost to a very scary number. She had to remind Luo Xun of this.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Luo Xun smiled: “Isn’t it popular now to have seasonal works? Why don’t we do it this way? Once the first, second and third seasons are launched, the risk can be infinitely reduced. If the first season is not satisfactory, then why don’t we just not shoot the second season.”

“Okay.”

Kong Shuang agreed.

Then Luo Xun was very interested in choosing actors. If the male lead was Brother Hu, then Yang Mi would play the role of Junior Sister, and the reader’s favorite classmate Bi Yao would be given to the company’s newcomer Chen Yao. Anyway, as long as she played the charm of Yue Qiluo, it would be enough.

As for Lu Xueqi…

Luo Xun chose Liu Yifei.

These actors are basically very expensive in the circle, so none of them is easy to invite, and it involves factors such as status and role. But if Luo Xun personally came forward, it seemed that many problems were no longer problems. Everyone basically accepted the invitation and arrangement. Therefore, this lineup was basically selected completely according to Luo Xun’s ideas!

In terms of important supporting roles.

Luo Xun is going to let Liu Yijun play the role of Ghost King. This person has worked with Hu Ge several times in his previous life, and his performance is still remarkable. As for the young talent Lin Jingyu, Luo Xun chose his own actor Zhu Yilong to play the role. Because as far as the costumes of the male artists who are doing well in the company are concerned, Luo Xun has the highest recognition of Zhu Yilong, even though Zhu Yilong’s current status is no longer suitable for supporting roles.

Who let Luo Xun realize his dream?

Besides, Luo Xun felt that it would be good for a talented person like Zhu Yilong, who had been given the leading role by him since his debut, to occasionally play supporting roles to hone his character. After all, he had acted a lot when he was not famous. As for the supporting roles, even Hu Ge, who is very popular this year, seems to have played the second male lead in a drama produced by his own company, deliberately giving up the lead male position to a newcomer named Jiang Jinfu.

“What about investing?”

Kong Shuang asked the most important question.

This is only the first season of “Zhu Xian”, but Luo Xun is extremely serious in this regard. He said that he would not do it if the first season did not work well, but in fact he either did not do it or did his best. character, so the budget he gave was 100 million!

“I knew…”

When Kong Shuang heard this figure, he immediately raised his eyebrows. He only invested 100 million in the first season. Even if it was successful, the cost of the second season would be so high. Luo Xun is really a boss who doesn’t know how expensive food, rice, oil and salt are.
