Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 717: Marginal People in Farming Literature (19)
The film is tentatively titled "The Fast and the Furious," which sounds like it's related to cars, but it's actually about the joys and sorrows of ordinary people.
This is exactly what Zhou You excels at filming, and it shares a similar theme with "Rebirth".
"Is the list of actors to be invited all here?" Shen Yao tapped the table. Beside her was a sheet of paper filled with names, all of whom were among the most well-known actors in the industry.
It must be said that once the ascension is successful, everyone willing to cooperate will be exceptionally talented.
With Zhou You's directing skills, can he control the situation?
“I will be with the team the whole time,” Jiang Hanzhou said lightly. “Besides, there will be other investors involved, and the investment this time is a real amount, so everyone is taking it very seriously.”
In short, this is not a scam. The purpose of this scheme is to make money, and anyone or anything that hinders their money-making will become their enemy.
Shen Yao:......
It's as if this person is making one of those supposedly big-budget, high-production-value dramas in the entertainment industry that turns out to be a mess with special effects that cost no more than 50 cents.
"Host, maybe they don't care about the quality of the drama; what they want is the prestige of a big investment," the system suddenly said slyly, its implication clear: there must be other inside information.
"Ahem, don't talk nonsense about things you don't know the inside story, especially since this is just our own speculation. If the show has a market, it means there are still loopholes. If they can't control their mouths and say whatever comes to mind, wouldn't they be offending people for no reason, and then having to run into them all the time in the industry? Shh~"
system:……
They spoke as if the host was a coward, but they said quite a lot about it, both openly and secretly.
Shen Yao shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself that what they said were minor details. There must be something important that they couldn't talk about. After all, the forces involved were somewhat complicated, especially since some people were blatantly putting on a two-faced act. Either they were ignorant and fearless, or they had powerful figures behind them.
However, based on her observations, it's highly likely that the person in question is an expert. Those dramas that clearly couldn't have cost that much money have serious problems, and their hasty release and subsequent removal from theaters reveal their obvious attempt to conceal something, as if they're afraid of being noticed by others.
Even some celebrities' fans only found out that their idols were in the film when they saw the finished product; their few minutes of screen time were worse than any embarrassing moment in their past.
"When do you plan to start filming?" Shen Yao looked at Jiang Hanzhou sitting opposite her. After not seeing him for a while, he was as energetic as if he had taken some kind of tonic. Indeed, career is the best form of cosmetic surgery.
"In about half a month, we actually have a shortlist of actors," Jiang Hanzhou said, clasping his hands together. He indicated that big-budget films tend to cast stars with lower safety risks, especially since various investors are involved and it's impossible for them not to take advantage of the situation.
However, they are not as blatant as before, and they dare not target those who are not worthy of their positions. After all, making money is still the top priority.
If they really want to play the game of sponsors promoting actors, there are plenty of TV dramas waiting in line for investment. Why bother making trouble in movies that are destined to make money?
Not everyone has the domineering CEO tendencies. It's just about flattering people. It's like having some useless things at home that you'd rather give to someone who can make you happy and provide emotional value than leave them to gather dust. After all, in this world of fame and fortune, is it possible to meet someone without any ulterior motives?
After discussing the movie, Jiang Hanzhou and Shen Yao went out for dinner.
On the way, Jiang Hanzhou received several phone calls, which were unsurprisingly related to his daily work. For example, in addition to his main business (TV series and movies), he also planned to develop a side business (variety shows).
In recent years, variety shows from neighboring South Korea have become incredibly popular. Even though they haven't been officially imported, clips and content broadcast online still spark enthusiastic discussions among a wide audience.
In particular, South Korea is most famous for its beautiful male and female idols, all of whom are excellent singers and dancers, and the vast majority of their fans are Chinese.
What kind of money is the easiest to earn since ancient times?
Old people, women, and children.
Jiang Hanzhou didn't have the energy to replicate the established processes of South Korea, because the domestic environment simply couldn't nurture such an entertainment-first culture; the foundation of a small country simply couldn't compare to that of a large one.
"I plan to introduce one or several variety shows and adapt them to the local context. China has no shortage of celebrities, let alone audiences." With a population of over a billion, it is not difficult to create a few wildly popular variety shows. The difficulty lies in adapting them to the national conditions and in line with reality.
Oranges born in Huainan are oranges, while those born in Huaibei are oranges.
The same variety show should take into account national conditions and customs; blindly imitating others will only result in a poor imitation and failure.
Following Jiang Hanzhou's train of thought, Shen Yao nodded with certainty. However, variety shows are much more complicated than movies or TV series, and also involve platform issues.
Which TV station do you plan to partner with? Or one of the video websites?
However, video websites still don't have enough viewers. Although the internet has developed rapidly in recent years and most young people are still dependent on their mobile phones, to create a national-level variety show, we cannot abandon those viewers who like to watch TV, as they are an indispensable part of the country.
Shen Yao frowned, feeling that cooperating with a TV station was better than with a video website.
At least for now, television stations have a larger audience and are more likely to generate discussion and spread among viewers.
Moreover, after airing on television, the variety show can also be simultaneously uploaded to video websites. However, this means that some of the profits will have to be given up. In simple terms, the money earned in your wallet will shrink.
"We plan to collaborate with Hunan TV. They have a foundation in producing variety shows. Moreover, this variety show is just an experiment. If the return on investment is good, we will increase our efforts in this area in the future."
Compared to filming TV series and movies, variety shows have very obvious advantages and disadvantages, but the difference between the two in terms of advertising and investor quotes is not very significant. Given this, variety shows are definitely more profitable and faster to make money, so it is not surprising that Jiang Hanzhou would set his sights on them.
Fruit station.
Shen Yao puffed out her cheeks and tapped her fingers, thinking to herself that this TV station was not bad, but there had been some turmoil in it recently, with the old and new generations changing, so it was inevitable that some mistakes would occur.
Jiang Hanzhou smiled, "The newly appointed deputy director is eager to achieve results."
"Perfect timing, I also want to switch tracks," the two hit it off immediately, and also sold the broadcasting rights to "Return Record" which they had filmed earlier.
Shen Yao:......
I suddenly realized that Jiang Hanzhou's skin was still too thick, at least I couldn't compare.
The system roared to the heavens, 'Host, you've finally discovered Jiang Hanzhou's true colors!'
It had already figured out that something was off about this kid. He spoke very nicely, but if you really thought about it, you'd find out he was subtly trying to get something for himself. If I remember correctly, TaoTao Video also invested in the TV series "Return to the Past".
"Although we have reached a preliminary agreement with Hunan TV, TaoTao Video has also provided considerable support. When the variety show is broadcast on the online platform, what we need to do is to promote TaoTao Video's artists at the appropriate time." This statement is not definitive; who will be used and to what extent will all depend on the effect of the variety show.
If the results are good, Jiang Hanzhou certainly wouldn't mind doing TaoTao Video a favor. If the results are mediocre or poor, then Jiang Hanzhou would have even more excuse to refuse TaoTao Video and leave them with no room for criticism.
A variety show that hasn't even been finished yet has not only had deeper contact with Hunan TV and TaoTao Video, but has also successfully sold the filmed "Return Record". Now Jiang Hanzhou has zero inventory. Regardless of whether other investors make money or lose money, he has made a fortune.
The car they were in stopped at a high-end restaurant, and Jiang Hanzhou and Shen Yao went inside.
Because they had made a reservation in advance, the two were led into a private room next door as soon as they arrived. This not only blocked the view from the lobby outside, but also prevented people trying to curry favor from coming in and disturbing them.
The staff brought the food to the table in time. Since there was no one else to spoil the fun, Shen Yao didn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Hanzhou. She ate whatever she liked, her cheeks stuffed full of food, looking like a cute little squirrel burying its head in food.
Jiang Hanzhou couldn't help but smile knowingly and couldn't resist feeding Shen Yao.
Jiang Hanzhou not only brought her all the delicious food (which Shen Yao loved), but he also specially asked the staff to add more dishes and explained what the restaurant's specialties were, so that she could eat and drink well since she was there.
Shen Yao's eyes were bright. She had recently gone abroad and had developed a deep love for Chinese cuisine.
Having almost filled her stomach, Shen Yao put down her chopsticks and slowly drank a bowl of seafood soup.
During this time, Jiang Hanzhou occasionally buried himself in his phone to handle some matters, showing that this busy man didn't even have time to eat a meal in peace.
'Tsk tsk tsk, no, no, host, perhaps we should find someone else.'
They're so busy! They have absolutely no personal life. How boring!
The system disliked Jiang Hanzhou's workaholic persona, worrying that it would affect their mission completion rate.
'Why change parents? With parents like these, children can win at the starting line from birth,' Shen Yao finished the seafood soup in her bowl with a spoon, then took out a tissue to wipe her lips. 'I know what I'm doing.' Besides, Jiang Hanzhou is very busy, as if it makes her seem very idle. The two of them are essentially the same kind of people, even though the older brother doesn't laugh at the younger brother.
After getting up and leaving the restaurant, Jiang Hanzhou escorted Shen Yao home.
Shen Yao is still staying in a hotel. When Shen Qingshan and Yu Shuhua returned from outside, they saw their daughter chatting with a refined and handsome young man at the hotel entrance.
"Oh dear, I was worried about my daughter before, but now I feel much more at ease."
Yu Shuhua grinned, thinking to herself that her daughter was indeed a top-notch handsome man, someone she could definitely be proud of!
Shen Qingshan was both happy and unhappy. At least his conflicted feelings were greater than Yu Shuhua's. Besides, his daughter's circle was full of handsome men and beautiful women. Was this person reliable?
"Tsk, how can you talk like that! What do you mean by unreliable? Is our daughter that kind of person?"
Yu Shuhua glared at Shen Qingshan, who was about to say something, telling him not to cause trouble.
Shen Qingshan: ...
What? Can't I even tell the truth? He saw a news push the other day saying that some celebrities in the industry are all show and no substance, and it's true.
Yu Shuhua: ...
Yu Shuhua angrily raised her hand and punched Shen Qingshan's arm. "Can't this guy talk properly? Why does he say everything? Does he have to make sure his daughter's boyfriend breaks up with her?"
"Hurry up, let's go back inside first," it's embarrassing to be caught standing at the door.
Yu Shuhua pulled Shen Qingshan inside. Meanwhile, the couple's conversation did not escape Shen Yao's notice, who possessed the system. Knowing that her biological parents had already discovered them, Shen Yao made no attempt to hide it.
Smiling as she watched Jiang Hanzhou leave, Shen Yao went upstairs. When she opened the door, she met her parents' hesitant gazes and frankly told them that they were still getting to know each other and that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should be able to meet soon.
"Really?"
"real?!"
The same words have completely different meanings when applied to Yu Shuhua and Shen Qingshan. Yu Shuhua is happy for her daughter, while Shen Qingshan is worried about her daughter.
Both of them were wholeheartedly devoted to Shen Yao, but their focus was different.
Fearing that they might overthink things and affect their health, Shen Yao simply explained Jiang Hanzhou's situation. When they heard that he wasn't an actor, the couple breathed a sigh of relief. However, when they heard that he was a producer and investor, they realized that they had relaxed a little too soon.
Wouldn't this cause a lot of chaos? The internet is full of all sorts of rumors.
The younger generation in the family group chat often share gossip, which makes the older generation frown and subconsciously keep their distance from this circle.
They were already a little worried about their daughter working in the entertainment industry, but now that she's found a partner like that, what are they supposed to say?
The couple exchanged glances, trying to get the other to speak first, but in the end, it was Shen Yao who said it.
Yu Shuhua and Shen Qingshan: ...
"Alright, honey, if you know what you're doing, then Mom and Dad can rest assured."
"That's right. The more we get to know each other, the better. We're not an unreasonable family. As long as someone has good character, there's no problem. Where you work doesn't matter."
The couple exchanged pleasantries, but whether their words resonated with them depended on their own capacity to process them.
Shen Yao went back to sleep, leaving Yu Shuhua and Shen Qingshan, a married couple, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Time flies, and half a month has passed.
The cast and crew of "The Amazing Race" have begun to quietly join the production, unlike the previously hyped-up cast and crew, with even online reports being excessively scarce.
Shen Yao once again set off from Beijing to a county town in the south called Muye.
This is the most important filming location for the production team, where about 80% of the entire series will be filmed.
Shen Yao attended the script reading event as a special guest screenwriter, and also met several big names in the production team. These were all genuine honors, and their excellent delivery of lines was clearly evident.
Jiang Hanzhou hosted a dinner at the largest hotel in the area to build rapport. He said that they would be working together on a film for the next few months and he didn't want any conflicts to affect the production schedule. These words were both a plea and a warning.
Jiang Hanzhou has been in the industry for many years, so people still give him this much face.
