    "Director Lu, is the filming going well? Are there any difficulties?"

    Lu Xiao cheerfully shook hands with Yuan Hua, blushing and said:

    "Smooth, very smooth, the current shooting progress is very good, we will definitely be able to complete the shooting task on time, you can rest assured"

    Yuan Hua nodded slightly. Lu Xiao had been an actor for several years, and then studied under the director Zhao Baogang for many years. There should be no big mistakes in filming a web drama

    Lu Xiao is also very grateful to Yuan Hua, after all, investors who are willing to give newcomers the opportunity to direct are too rare now!

    In the industry of directors, it is even more difficult to get ahead than actors. Basically, it is qualifications. Many directors have to do odd jobs for most of their lives. If they are lucky, they can wait for a director's work that can be their own master after the age of 30 or 40.

    After all, the investment in a movie can cost tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, so investors will naturally be cautious——

    ? When conditions permit, investors will definitely give priority to mature directors who have proven themselves, and will not rashly invest tens of millions to a new director with no experience.

    Just take Lu Xiao as an example, isn't his background strong enough?  Dad is Hai Yan, a well-known name in the industry, one of the four founders of Hairun Film and Television.

    The Hai Yan Trilogy - "Never Close Your Eyes", "What Can I Take to Save You, My Lover" and "Jade Guanyin" are basically masterpieces on the screen with overwhelming reputation.

    As we all know, "Never Close My Eyes" made Lu Yi popular, and "Jade Guanyin" made Empress Zhen Huan popular.

    Haiyan was once called the "Godfather of Idols". In addition to the above two, there are Xu Cainv, Liu Huohua, Tong Dawei and other Mesozoic movie stars who have entered the public eye from the high starting line of "Haiyan Drama".  Can this network be worse?

    However, even with Lu Xiao's strong connections like Hai Yan, the road to directing is still not smooth.

    Lu Xiao was born in 1980. He is 34 years old this year and has been in the industry for more than ten years. Does he have a serious solo directorial work now?

    The answer is no, not even a low-cost web drama.

    In fact, Lu Xiao started out as an actor, but after his acting career was tepid, he had the idea of ??switching to a director.

    Although Haiyan has never been very supportive of his son's career as a director, Lu Xiao has studied under Zhao Baogang for many years. He not only acted as the executive director in "Men's Gang" and "Yanjing Youth", but also co-directed "Old People Have Some Respect" with Zhao Baogang.  It can be regarded as being "screamed as a teacher" by the hot-tempered Director Zhao

    Reasonably speaking, Zhao Baogang is enough to give him a chance. If it weren't for his father's sake, would he have spared no effort in cultivating him?

    As we all know, in the previous life, Lu Xiao became famous because of "The Princess", but after that, did any decent movies or TV drama projects come to him?

    No, because after "Prince Princess", Lu Xiao's real directorial work is only one "Kunlun Return" which died halfway.

    This TV series is adapted from the debut novel "Traveling the Kunlun Ruins" by Tianxiabasing. His father Haiyan even came out of the mountain to act as a screenwriter for his son's platform——

    But even so, this modern sci-fi romance TV series was eventually aborted because investors withdrew their funds midway, so Lu Xiao's career as a director temporarily stopped in 2018.

    From Lu Xiao, we can see how difficult it is for a new director, even with such strong background contacts - father Haiyan + master Zhao Baogang.

    Then luck was not bad, the first work "Prince Princess" was a big hit, but Lu Xiao still failed to succeed in the directing industry in the end.

    So this time, when the two had no relationship, Yuan Hua was willing to give him this opportunity to lead the guide, and Lu Xiao was grateful from the bottom of his heart. After all, he had been waiting for this opportunity for many years!

    Of course, Yuan Hua invited Lu Xiao to direct "Prince Princess", on the one hand because his ability has been tested in his previous life, and on the other hand, he can also show his favor to his father Haiyan.

    There is one thing to say, with Yuan Hua's status in the entertainment industry today, he doesn't really need Lu Xiao's father to support him, or give him any substantial help

    However, influential industry seniors like Hai Yan are often of great use at certain times

    When?

    Yes, it's time for awards!

    For example, Yuan Hua treated Ma Sichun differently in the "Left Ear" crew before, isn't it exactly the same as today?

    Logically speaking, there is no need for Yuan Hua to make friends with Ma Sichun on purpose!

    Although Ou Hao really needs her aunt's help to seize the film and television resources in the Northwest Circle, Yuan Hua has a high starting point and doesn't like them at all.? Some belongings.

    However, Ma Sichun's aunt Jiang Niangniang is a frequent visitor to the jury of various film festivals. She has served as the chairman of the Magnolia jury, the Golden Horse Award jury, and the Pusan ??Film Festival jury

    They don't even necessarily need to be judges themselves, because of their age, the judges probably know them all, and some of them may have been friends for ten or twenty years

    ?Unless interests are involved, someone making a few phone calls for you may be more effective than your own public relations efforts

    ?After all, there is no need to spend extra money, as long as you have a little bit of sweetness to win over the second generation of stars, you can win the favor of their elders, why not do it?

    Yuan Hua first walked around the crew, and after chatting with the director Lu Xiao, he started to exchange pleasantries with the leading actors of the crew——

    Because Yuan Hua did not choose to rashly change the cast, the four main roles of Zhang Pengpeng, Qi Cheng, Jiu Wang, and Yang Yan in this play are still played by Zhang Tianai, Sheng Yilun, Yu Mengjue and Guo Juncheng respectively.

    ? To be reasonable, it turns out that there is something really special about the cast, they are basically handsome men and beautiful women, and the prices are super cheap, it seems that it really took a lot of thought.

    To be reasonable, these four people are basically excellent in ancient costumes. If you consider the cost performance, they are simply excellent.

    It is true that there are indeed some actors, it may be said that ancient costumes are more photogenic than them, but those people are also likely to be more expensive than them——

    And I may not be willing to act in a low-cost web drama that has no stars and the director is also a newcomer.

    It's a pity that good luck tricks people. Who would have thought that the four main actors with the most important roles in this drama look full of stars, but they all didn't do well in the end. After a while, there was basically nothing wrong with it

    On the contrary, Peng Yuchang, who played the role of the strong father-in-law who had no role in the show, was not so amazing in his first show, but unexpectedly became the best-developed one among this group of people——

    One step at a time, walking slowly but steadily, not only became the youngest nominee for the Golden Horse Best Actor in history, but his partner Zhang Zifeng's "Take My Brother Away" sold 375 million in 18 years, and ushered in the male lead in 20 years.  The King of Bathing.

    400 million box office may not be considered a big hit, but at least it has not failed the trust of investors

    Audience popularity is a very metaphysical thing. Peng Yuchang is not the one that looks amazing, but it definitely makes passers-by rarely hate it, which is extremely rare!

    Besides, these days, little fresh meat actors who don’t play tricks and make people hate dogs, but are willing to settle down and act well are already considered rare, so Yuan Hua directly signed him into his company

    Yuan Hua also thought about it, should he change to a role with a little more character?  Replace Yu Mengzi or Guo Juncheng.

    But after all, "Prince Princess" is the company's first play, and this first shot must be fired!  So you can't let your temper go, or try to follow the original flavor, so that the possibility of success in copying the previous life will be greater!

    In the previous life, this group of people acted well, why are you replacing him now?  After all, you don't act yourself, so what good does it do?

    Is it just to praise a newcomer actor who has just signed in?  Is it necessary to hold the risk of tens of millions of investment in vain?

    You know, now Yuan Hua has invested all the idle funds on hand into this drama!

    If the income of this "Prince Princess" is lower than expected, then the company's other IP development projects may have to be delayed due to a shortage of funds

    Time is money, my friend!

    Besides, Peng Yuchang played "Strong Eunuch", and later the evaluation was quite good, so there is no need to encourage the young.  Anyway, the company has so many projects waiting to be developed, are you afraid that there will be no chance in the future?
