Reshaping the landscape of the Chinese entertainment industry

However, although He Yi'an was eager to revise the script, he was chatting with Liu Yifei at the moment!

He suppressed the urge to leave immediately and continued chatting with the mother and daughter.

It's a script!

Since I already have the idea, there's no rush!

Liu Yifei's questions were quite rambling, sometimes asking about the filming of the movie, and sometimes talking about some interesting things she had encountered.

He Yi'an is not only a qualified listener, but also a pretty good straight man.

Whenever Liu Yifei expressed an opinion or said something, she would always hear He Yi'an use slightly curious and amused tone.

Hmm, sigh, uh...

Or affirmative words that indicate listening or agreement: yes, right, that's right...

At the same time, it also needs to be interspersed with rhetorical questions and teasing from time to time: Who are you talking about? Oh~ what do you mean? Hey~ what's going on? Who says it isn't? Oh dear~ oh dear~

That's all outdated! Why are you always arguing?

I dare not accept such praise.

Good heavens!!

Anyway, no one knows what Liu Xiaoli was thinking, but Liu Yifei really enjoyed chatting with He Yi'an. All sorts of topics came out one after another, and no matter what they talked about, He Yi'an could always chime in with a few words.

However, He Yi'an estimated that Liu Xiaoli must have had a pretty good chat.

Despite He Yi'an's constant attention, the smile on her face never stopped.

All of this didn't end until the second round of interviews began and the numbers were called out.

"Oh, it seems your interviews have already started. By the way," He Yi'an looked at Liu Yifei, "what's Xixi's number?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect it to start so soon," Liu Yifei said, smacking her lips as she chatted enthusiastically. Although her mouth was a little dry, she was still eager to continue. "I'm number 22."

Are you confident?

"Of course!" Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him, then clenched her fist. "Hmph, I've been practicing for a long time."

Looking at her confident demeanor, He Yi'an smiled and said, "It seems my early congratulations weren't just empty words. Don't worry, you'll definitely pass the exam."

"You're really strange. You're even more confident than I am that I can pass the exam?" Liu Yifei tilted her head and looked at him.

"Have you forgotten that I'm a director?" He Yi'an certainly wouldn't admit that he had seen the answer, but said in a serious tone, "Directors are very good at judging people; it's a basic skill."

Seeing him suddenly become serious, Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, but then she remembered how he had just teased her and burst out laughing.

"You're really interesting."

"I'm telling the truth, and you don't believe me? So that little girl who bumped into me at the airport never really trusted me?"

Children don't like being called small; they all want to grow up and feel like adults.

Liu Yifei was no exception. Hearing that He Yi'an treated her like a child, she immediately became dissatisfied and wrinkled her nose: "I'm fourteen years old, not a little girl!"

"What else could fourteen-year-old be but a little girl?"

He Yi'an teased her deliberately, using a tone befitting someone looking at a child: "Or are you a grown woman? Then you'll have to wait a few more years!"

Liu Yifei opened her mouth, wanting to say something in rebuttal, but for a moment she couldn't think of anything convincing to refute the age issue, so she just snorted and turned her face away.

Liu Xiaoli watched from the side the whole time, and seeing that He Yi'an really treated Qianqian like a child, she was completely relieved.

Seeing that Sisi had stopped talking, she couldn't help but try to smooth things over: "Xiao An, stop teasing her, she'll get angry soon, and we need to go in too..."

That's right, that's why He Yi'an was so sure that Liu Xiaoli was also having a good time.

In just a short while, He Yi'an had changed his way of addressing himself from the initially distant "Director He" to "Xiao An".

Similarly, he no longer calls her Ms. Liu, but instead calls her Aunt Liu.

"Angry? Really?" He Yi'an chuckled. "Qianqian is such a generous and beautiful girl, I don't think she'd get angry over something so small, right?"

Liu Yifei turned around upon hearing this, but she didn't seem to have calmed down, glaring at him and saying, "You sure know how to talk, you've got it all, good and bad!"

"It's alright." Knowing it was time for He Yi'an to leave, he glanced at his watch. "Aunt Liu, Qianqian, I still have some things to take care of here, so I won't bother you any longer."

"Wishing you the best in your retest, Sisi. Looking forward to hearing your good news."

"Thank you, Xiao An." Liu Xiaoli nodded.

"Hmph, goodbye!" Liu Yifei waved at him.

The sunlight shone on the mother and daughter, creating a warm scene.

"goodbye!"

He Yi'an waved his hand, without looking back, and walked away with the book in his arms.

"Mom, he's so eloquent and amazing!" After watching He Yi'an walk away, Liu Yifei took her mother's arm and looked at his retreating figure. "He became a director at eighteen..."

"You," Liu Xiaoli tapped her forehead, "it's their business if they're good at something. Your most important thing right now is to do well on the exam. Don't think about anything else."

Liu Yifei quickly turned her head to dodge Liu Xiaoli's "attack" and stuck out her tongue.

"I know."

"I just think he's quite interesting."

Liu Xiaoli glanced at her daughter but said nothing more.

……

After parting ways with Liu Yifei and her daughter, He Yi'an returned to the classroom to continue his lessons.

After finishing my classes for the day, I took a taxi straight to the company.

To be honest, he hasn't been there even once since the studio was converted into a company.

Mom Xu Wan has complained about this many times, but she's in a good mood today because He Yi'an has finally arrived at his loyal Langyuan Media.

There are actually several reasons why it's called that.

Back when it was still a studio, the name could be more casual; it could just be called He Ye Studio.

But now that it's been upgraded, the first thing we need to do is choose a name that's easy to recognize.

He Yi'an's family are all from Langzhong. As one of the four ancient cities, Langzhong is also known as the fairyland of Langyuan.

Furthermore, there is a song in Chapter 5 of Cao Xueqin's "Dream of the Red Chamber" called "Wang Ningmei".

The poem "Wasted Tears" also contains the line: "One is a celestial flower from the fairy garden, the other is a flawless jade."

I must say, this word is the most fitting description of him and the company that represents him!

……

When He Yi'an arrived at the company, something a little awkward happened.

Because he didn't notify her in advance or tell his mother, the receptionist didn't recognize him and actually stopped him.

After all, the previous studio only had three or four people, and the people in the new company are all newly recruited.

In response, He Yi'an did not stage any scene of the Dragon King returning to show off and getting his face slapped.

After all, we're all just working people, why make things difficult for them?

They stopped themselves, and they were even right to do so.

He Yi'an had no choice but to call his mother, but she was not at the company at the moment, as she was on a business trip. So, his assistant took him to the office.

As for his assistant sending his information to everyone in the company, especially having the receptionist remember his details, that's not his concern!

Besides signing some documents, another important reason he came to the company was to provide the script.

Langyuan Media is a newly established company, and all its staff are newly recruited or poached by my mother from other companies.

A new company will definitely need to integrate the team and weed out some unsuitable people.

What other methods of collaboration are more suitable than producing a few films?

After all, it's a media company!

Langyuan's qualifications qualify him to produce television dramas and movies.

In terms of film, given the current size of the Chinese entertainment industry, having him alone, or someone else who signs a new contract, is enough for now.

Television dramas were the mainstay of all production companies at the beginning of the century.

He Yi'an and his mother Xu Wan's plan is to start several productions and gradually work together to build a strong team.

But if you want to start a play, besides money, the most important thing is the script.

And as Langyuan's first play, it absolutely had to succeed, it couldn't fail.

During this time, my mother, Xu Wan, has been collecting scripts, but she is not satisfied with any of them.

She is a screenwriter by training, so she doesn't need anyone else to tell her how to appreciate scripts.

Good scripts are very rare, and many of the well-known TV drama scripts from the early 20th century are already owned.

Take, for example, the well-worn TV series "Bright Sword".

This is definitely a very good show.

However, the script was written by Liu Yanming, the boss of Hairun, who bought the novel "Bright Sword" at the airport bookstore in the Big Apple in 2001, and then immediately bought the adaptation rights and started the script development work.

It's already March 2002, almost April. At this point in time, the first draft of the script should have already been completed.

However, it wasn't easy for this drama to come out, as a lot of the later content couldn't be filmed.

Even the script itself had to be sent back for revisions several times because there were so many sensitive points.

He Yi'an doesn't need to take on this difficult task. When they actually start filming and run into financial difficulties, Lang Yuan can join in and profit from it.

Even online copyrights may be sufficient at that time.

As for another show he's eyeing, "My Own Swordsman" hasn't been released yet, so he can snatch it away.

But after thinking about it, He Yi'an realized it wasn't really worth it.

At the very slowest, the script will be ready next year.

He Yi'an still wanted to choose the easiest approach: Langyuan would invest, buy the copyright, and replace some of the players.

As for the rest, let those people handle it themselves.

Money can never be fully earned, and Langyuan doesn't need to do everything herself.

He was too busy, his mother was too busy, and they even turned everyone into enemies.

After much deliberation, He Yi'an finally decided that he would write the script himself!

He sat on his mother's desk and pulled out a stack of printing papers.

Then I picked up a pen and wrote four characters on the cover.
