Chapter 285: After Binding the Child-Bearing System, Becoming a Winner in Life Chapter 286: Entertainment Industry's Unconventional C

Main Character:
Shen Yao
"This upcoming drama is crucial; even Planet Film and Television cannot just insert people randomly."
Even Shen Yao, this big boss of Planet Film and Television, whose word is usually law in daily matters, still cannot casually express any opinion on this matter.
"This matter is led from above, and several other companies are also very interested," it's not that Shen Yao's Planet Film and Television can't pull it off alone, but this kind of thing cannot be fought solo; a cake must be divided evenly.
Lu Xian raised an eyebrow after hearing Shen Yao's words, "Is it that rumored drama?"
All kinds of rumors circulate in the circle every day; rumors have truth and falsehood, but without exception, what can be spoken out is absolutely not groundless.
The drama Lu Xian mentioned is a movie, and also a tribute film.
The gift is light, the sentiment heavy!
Shen Yao patted Lu Xian's shoulder in annoyance, "The reason we can fight for this drama is because the prepared script has sufficient sincerity."
It is the fruit of months of meticulous creation by all the screenwriters of Planet Film and Television, truly their heart's blood.
Even the director for filming must be non-famous to work; Zhang Tao is merely one of the backup candidates.
"Otherwise, we can summon all the other partners.
Everyone hold a unified meeting to discuss; this drama absolutely cannot be filmed chaotically, and there will be people coming to supervise in the middle," Lu Xian already understood the weight of a tribute drama, and based on his experience from his early days mixing in the circle, he immediately offered Shen Yao strategies.
Shen Yao smiled; she hadn't expected Lu Xian's mind to turn so fast; these methods she had more or less already thought of, so she even more could not go open this breach prematurely.
"The question of who to choose depends on this drama's director and screenwriter. The director candidate is still being confirmed; casting is temporarily not urgent."
Shen Yao said the latest progress in a low voice; learning that casting would still take a while, Lu Xian immediately pulled Shen Yao back to relax properly.
Hmph, then there's even less to fear.
Shen Yao: ……
With Lu Xian's help, Shen Yao successfully pressed down those restless people in just a few days.
Lu Xian looks gentle and refined, but in his bones is full of ruthless cruelty.
Veterans of the entertainment industry from earlier years, who could make a name for themselves — who doesn't have some ability? You really think becoming an old drama bone means they don't eat meat? They aren't vegetarians.
A few light greetings sent out, and Shen Yao's life returned to calm once again.
However, this calm couldn't last long; when the tribute drama news was released, it instantly caused a tremor throughout the entire circle's market.
A tribute drama, and tied to the state, with so many companies providing escort protection — even if they just play a tiny role they can blow it up and stick it on as a badge.
People in the circle struggle desperately to get a foot in the door, just to get famous and make more money.
Like the drama before us, regardless of whether its plot is good or bad, it is certainly currently the most outstanding pie in the circle.
Pie — only when eaten into your own mouth can it fill you up; otherwise it's all fake.
While the circle boiled, Planet Film and Television's phones were also blown up by enthusiastic people.
Not only Planet Film and Television; although Planet Film and Television is the lead one, beneath it there are other film and television companies investing and participating.
Some film and television companies not only invest in dramas, they also sign actors; for a drama like this, going through internal channels is a done deal.
Pity is, this drama's director is Zhen Cheng, an old-timer in the circle with an even stinkier temper than Zhang Tao, most famous for his arbitrary and autocratic casting, never compromising because of other factors.
Compared to Zhang Tao who might still concede a step — Zhang Tao on Shen Yao's side is very sensible, aside from overspending money he doesn't do much else; but Zhen Cheng isn't that temperament, that person became famous early, stubborn as can be.
Anyway, with this movie under Zhen Cheng's charge, others wanting to go through the back door is hard, because Zhen Cheng won't give anyone face.
Shen Yao even put out word: if you want a role, fight for it yourself; not only is Planet Film and Television's side a no-go, other companies are also no-go.
Everyone is mixing in the circle; turn a blind eye, but absolutely don't pull any shameful operations that make people lose face.
However, "Will this have effect?"
Ma Qingjian had already finished her holiday and returned, the whole person full of spirit.
Shen Yao was uncertain, "Words put out, there will be a certain effect." As for whether this effect is long or short, that depends on each company's execution intensity.
"But no matter, there's still Director Zhen." That's a stubborn donkey; ordinary people can't pull him back; if someone truly could persuade Director Zhen to help go through the back door, Shen Yao would have to admire their ability and perseverance.
"Qingjian, this drama is still for you to take charge; later I will also keep a close watch on the crew at all times.
The tribute drama absolutely cannot have problems; the screenwriter side must be instructed."
Quite a few big-name actors, after joining the crew, will delete and revise the script according to their own situation.
This is the circle's conventional rule; it's not that it can't be changed, as long as your reputation is big enough, the honors you've received many enough, you can move your hand.
Before there was a crew that stirred up such a matter, triggering a scolding war on the internet, and in the end it was just each side getting fifty blows, left unsettled.
The tribute drama's script is already set; cannot guarantee some people won't be audacious enough to enter the crew and make trouble.
Shen Yao isn't afraid of Director Zhen however he may be, but she worries her own screenwriters can't withstand the pressure, causing trouble and burying nails for her.
Screenwriters' rights are relatively small; even the unconventional Planet Film and Television cannot guarantee screenwriters can ignore everything; they have to make a living.
Imagine: you, a tiny screenwriter, facing a famous star bigwig; you can refuse the other party once or twice, but if the times become many, won't you also feel fear in your heart?
Moreover, Planet Film and Television is very good now, but who can guarantee always working at Planet Film and Television? One must always consider later employment life.
There are too many relationships entangled in here; anyway in Shen Yao's view, Planet Film and Television's screenwriters are still weak, can only rely on her this signboard to block people.
"Any matter, report promptly; even if it's a crew problem, don't be too afraid, Planet Film and Television will forever stand on their side."
As long as it's not the screenwriter's problem, Shen Yao dares to confront any and all figures.
Ma Qingjian smiled upon hearing this, heart warm and cozy, understanding these words had no falsehood mixed in.
What temperament their own boss has, anyone who has interacted knows; Ma Qingjian came for Shen Yao, worked at Planet Film and Television these several years, for Ma Qingjian the gains are huge.
Otherwise Ma Qingjian couldn't have stayed without leaving; outside people wanting to poach her who knows how many; circle companies who hasn't heard of Ma Qingjian's great name.
The two people simply finished speaking of the tribute drama matter, Ma Qingjian then brought up Planet Film and Television's self-produced drama.
Unlike the beginning when she could only search for cooperation with her head down, getting rejected by others every few days, Planet Film and Television now does business with open doors, with a crowd of people waving stacks of cash coming to seek cooperation.
This time even more so, Planet Film and Television's self-produced dramas and invested dramas have already reached double digits, and that was still the result of their control.
Otherwise, the quantity alone could have doubled, even with the meaning of surpassing others.
After all, making money from filming film and television dramas is not easy; hiring a slightly popular star these days is no small sum, plus other miscellaneous expenses, the calculated price would shock people.
Because Planet Film and Television has a good reputation and good scripts, including the previously accumulated passerby plate which is also quite good, this leads to Planet Film and Television's dramas being different from others — no matter how many they film, they can sell them.
This reflected the gap, followed by making money like a snowball. Who doesn't want to make money, it's just that some money can be earned, some money cannot be earned.
"However, it won't be long before, as long as Planet Film and Television thoroughly establishes a foothold, no one can stop Planet Film and Television's development."
The foothold mentioned here is not like a few years ago, filming a few dramas to avoid being suppressed by other companies.
Shen Yao has greater ambitions; although she has prepared to impact the foreign film and television industry, she also wants the leading position in the domestic film and television industry.
Only children make choices, adults of course want both!
Shen Yao happens to be that adult who wants both; her attitude in doing things has always been clear-cut, all of the company's planning must follow her ideas, if it can't proceed, then she forces it to go a new way.
……
The tribute drama stirred up quite a commotion; by the time casting ended, related storms were still being passed around among the circle.
In the end, it was still several companies speaking up together, other hot topics appeared on the internet, gradually replacing this extremely heavyweight tribute drama, only then letting netizens shift their gaze to other aspects.
However, the crew has already been prepared, Director Zhen entered the crew, and is quietly proceeding with filming.
Those selected as main characters are extremely low-key, no longer having the previous high-profile manner, even the script issues Shen Yao cared about did not occur.
However, this does not mean they truly don't exist; filming is a long process, especially this tribute drama is very important, the entire filming cycle takes at least one year to start, who knows when something might go wrong.
Shaking her head helplessly, Shen Yao continued to let Ma Qingjian take full responsibility, while she switched tracks to pay attention to the outside film and television situation.
Not only domestic, the foreign film and television circle is also not to be treated with courtesy.
The influence brought by economic globalization is expanding; no matter where you develop, you cannot escape the temptation of money.
Going abroad to venture before at least had a name; now discovering domestic and foreign are the same, and the foreign circle is fundamentally not easy to enter.
Fine, might as well just struggle domestically, at least don't have to suffer that stifling anger.
This is the thinking of most people in the circle, including some stars who ventured abroad with a bit of success, they ultimately all saw through this matter.
Shen Yao recently chatted with several people with relevant experience, the topics asked didn't involve any privacy, but were still heard out by people.
Clever people know Shen Yao's intentions, still opened their mouths to persuade a few sentences.
The reasons used are also that outside where is there home so practical, and foreign language is also a very big problem, inside this involves relatively long-standing historical issues.
Anyway, staying domestic is safer, moreover with Planet Film and Television's volume, can earn more money domestically, why still go to the trouble of running abroad.
Shen Yao: ……
Shen Yao towards this kind of goodwill has always accepted the sentiment, but she won't do it. If truly could be persuaded back, Shen Yao wouldn't ambitiously want to go abroad.
Clever people know they can't persuade, just saying a sentence counts, anyway also want to owe a favor at Shen Yao's place, the rest isn't important.
As for stupid people, those people fundamentally can't figure out what Shen Yao wants to do, only treat Shen Yao's questions as normal, finish speaking and forget, completely don't enter the brain.
Shen Yao focuses on her own career, busy time passes quickly.
By the time Zhang Tao's filmed movie was released, selling to a jaw-dropping box office, by the time the tribute film finished filming and entered post-production, Shen Yao's side's going abroad situation only revealed a bit of a clue.
Shen Yao's focus is still filming, but because foreign and domestic situations differ, the same film may not necessarily be popular abroad.
So Shen Yao simply thought of a trick, directly started doing foreign specialty, sci-fi film.
As for special effects, Shen Yao first flipped through her own side's things, repeatedly confirmed none were suitable and usable, simply contacted several foreign special effects companies again, directly selected the best from the best, finally finalized a cooperation company that was very good in all aspects.
With a cooperation company, next is the matter of filming abroad.
Because abroad popular all kinds of blockbusters, national conditions differ, they advocate individual heroism.
Shen Yao herself rummaged left and right in the space, selected a script very suited to foreign people's taste, then again selecting actors and directors, by the time this whole mess of matters was finished, the domestic tribute drama had already been moved onto the big screen.
The tribute drama's specialty plus national conditions issues, without doubt directly exploded.
Box office broke previous numbers, conservatively estimated, Planet Film and Television can make a big profit.
Pity this money cannot be taken, directly sent to do charity, fulfilled the relevant reputation.
Otherwise if leaked out, not to mention other things, just Planet Film and Television's reputation maintained for many years would be ruined in an instant.
Sigh
Shen Yao sighed, busy for so long, in the end only reputation entered the account, but still not bad, later dealing with official connections will be very easy.
Planet Film and Television did beautifully in this aspect, as long as someone with a mind knows this deal is not a loss, this is personal connections others want to rely on but can't.
……
After this battle, Planet Film and Television's status in the domestic becomes increasingly stable.
The most direct is Planet Film and Television single-handedly opened up some special film and television drama filming projects, all are types sold to national stations, don't make money, but won't lose money.
And Planet Film and Television in this aspect is especially respectful of history, absolutely won't film things not in line with the times, ensure not spreading incorrect thoughts.
You must know people lacking virtue in the circle are not few, some people don't have that fate, but insist on having that sickness, Planet Film and Television is not this kind, they are down-to-earth, step by step moving forward.
So Planet Film and Television's path is walked very steadily, previously wanting Planet Film and Television to close was hard, now making Planet Film and Television close is even harder.
Shen Yao still wholeheartedly throws herself into abroad, including because of being too busy, she even neglected two growing children.
Fortunately Lu Xian is a qualified father, Shen Yao when free also cultivates feelings with them, therefore even though accompanying time is relatively less, but Lu Xin and Lu Yi still like birth mom very much, seeing birth mom all kinds of calling.
"How long this trip?"
Lu Xian sent Shen Yao to the airport, the foreign mess of matters is busy more or less, now just waiting for Shen Yao to fly over to pass detection, then can open follow-up arrangements.
