Chapter 63 The One Who Bets on You

On the second-floor viewing platform of the banquet hall, Ye Zhiyuan smoked a cigarette and looked at the night scene of the Magic City, which was like a painting.

The various Kyushu buildings were like gold under the reflection of the night sky, telling the history of the Magic City.

Ye Zhiyuan didn't like this kind of dinner party very much.

Ye Zhiyuan's personality was somewhat incompatible with the environment of the entertainment industry. He was not good at socializing and had a straight temper.

He had argued with the company many times, all about the filming of movies.

Because Ye Zhiyuan's personality was not a secret in the circle and he was very focused on movies, he was relatively weak in socializing.

Seeing Lin Qiu coming, Ye Zhiyuan smiled and said:

"Why did you come out?"

Lin Qiu lit a cigarette, "It's stuffy inside."

Lin Qiu was no longer surprised by this kind of social occasion in the entertainment industry.

It would be helpful for future filming to get to know more powerful actors.

"Speaking of which, I am still your senior."

"Congratulations, this time "Love Letter" won."

Ye Zhiyuan congratulated.

After chatting for a while, the two young directors soon talked about the second direct confrontation in the New Year's Day file.

"What level of movie is "The Crucible"?"

Lin Qiu smiled calmly and said: "5."

Hearing Lin Qiu's answer, Ye Zhiyuan was stunned, "Are you serious?"

5 points can be called a "masterpiece" in Xiazhou movies, which is the lowest threshold for masterpieces.

In Xiazhou, I don't know how many famous directors don't have 5-point works.

If "The Crucible" can really break through 5 points, Lin Qiu will have unprecedented attention and reputation!

"Of course."

"Do you want to bet?"

Lin Qiu is like a bad uncle holding a lollipop, tempting Ye Zhiyuan.

"What do you want to bet?"

"I have nothing."

The smile on Ye Zhiyuan's face is a little bitter.

Since his graduation film in Xiaying became famous overnight, Ye Zhiyuan has entered the entertainment industry and signed a long-term contract with "Fenghua Film and Television Company".

I thought I could focus on movies and indulge in my talents.

Who would have thought that the entertainment industry is so complicated that there is no way to make a big splash.

Whether it is "Luoyang", "Dark Side" or "Murder in the Snow", they are all the results of Ye Zhiyuan's compromise.

The second female lead originally set for "Luoyang" was a fourth-tier actress, who was extremely suitable for the character's temperament.

Later, the producer and capital intervened and forcibly replaced this role. At that time, Ye Zhiyuan quarreled with the company several times and wanted to fight for it.

Not to mention the company, it was useless to fight for the producer. Even the original actress quickly compromised and did not want to offend anyone, so she went to star in other small movies.

The director's salary is very limited, and the long-term contract has locked Ye Zhiyuan in. He can only smile bitterly.

"The person who bets on you."

"Chang'an Film and Television Company, welcome to join."

Lin Qiu spread his hands and smiled like an advertiser on TV.

Ye Zhiyuan was stunned when he heard this, and for a while he didn't understand what Lin Qiu meant.

You must know that the contract between Ye Zhiyuan and Fenghua Film and Television Company is a long-term contract with a sky-high penalty for breach of contract!

Changan Film and Television Company will be involved in movies, TV series, animation, and music in the future, but movies are still the top priority.

Lin Qiu alone cannot make it big.

Lin Qiu's goal is to build an entertainment empire.

In Changan, there is only one director, Director Lu Yan, who is pretty good, so Lin Qiu has been deliberately helping Zhou Kai to accumulate film experience.

The appearance of Ye Zhiyuan made Lin Qiu even more excited.

When Ye Zhiyuan expressed his dissatisfaction with the company, Lin Qiu immediately started to think about it!

Unlike Lin Qiu, Ye Zhiyuan has real film talent.

It's okay if the script is not well written, because Lin Qiu lacks scripts the least.

A talented young director can bring much more profits to Changan in the future than these liquidated damages!

...

Since November, the three major film awards in Xiazhou have been announced one after another.

The film and television industry has ushered in a brief silence, waiting for the New Year's Day competition.

This New Year's Day should be the most exciting New Year's Day in the film industry in the past five years.

There are not only the popular works of two young directors, "The Crucible" and "Murder in the Snow", but also the new work "Edo Battle Royale" by the famous Yingzhou director Matsushita Fumio.

From the perspective of subject matter, these three themes are not easy subjects, and it is not surprising that they are gathered in the New Year's Day period.

Unlike the silence of the film industry, the online literature circle is very lively!

In early October, Xingkong Novel Network, the supreme god of online literature [Six-winged Butterfly] released a new work "Demon Slayer" after three years.

This is interesting.

One "Zhu Xian".

One "Demon Slayer".

If you say that Xingkong Novel Network has no ideas, even the little kids will not believe it!

It can only be said that the new book of [Six-winged Butterfly] happens to be of this type, telling the story of demons and monsters that are harming the country, and a young man slaughtering all the demons in the world and upholding justice.

When two tigers fight, one must be injured.

After three years, once it was released, the loyal readers accumulated from the previous books gathered again.

Compared with the amount of rewards for "Zhu Xian", it is not inferior at all!

It seems that Xingkong Novel Network is really anxious.

Not only is the website promoting it vigorously, but even other platinum authors on the website are publishing chapters to promote it.

Grasshoppers on the same rope, the rise of Xianque is not good for them.

Judging from the early stories of "Demon Slayer", it still has a familiar taste, full of excitement, and solid writing.

In October, when "Zhu Xian" had not yet been released, the popularity of Xingkong Novel Network reached its highest peak in three years!

"Zhu Xian" had not yet been released, and Xianque was a little quiet.

But the publicity battle with Xingkong Novel Network on major media had already begun!

"Believe in Lin Qiu."

"Zhu Xian" is about to be released, and Xianque editor-in-chief Cao Xue is also nervous.

Once this battle can be won, Xianque can completely suppress Xingkong Novel Network in one fell swoop.

Thousands of hopes are placed on "Zhu Xian".

Compared with [Six-winged Butterfly], Lin Qiu has a natural advantage.

That is, after the accumulation of the "Xianjian" series, Lao Gouzei has many female readers!

This is an important reader force that can determine the outcome!

"I just don't know what Lin Qiu meant by that."

"Is it possible to issue a knife in the early and middle stages?"

Cao Xue murmured.

Suddenly thought of Lin Qiu's reminder when he went to Lin Qiu to sign a new book contract.

"During the Chinese New Year, remember to work overtime to maintain the website server."

"Nine out of ten, readers will riot."

...

[Ahhhhh! I've been waiting for more than two months! The fans of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" have been rubbing their asses off! "Zhu Xian" is finally coming out! ]

[Every day feels like a year! It's finally time to follow Lao Gou Zei's novels again! Don't worry, I won't be stabbed again this time! ]

[It's okay, we all have experience, so don't worry about the first part! When the stabbings get concentrated in the back, there's nothing we can do. God knows how Lao Gou Zei will stab us, brothers, just wish you the best! ]

December 1.

After three months of readers' waiting, the day for the release of the new book "Zhu Xian" has finally arrived!

...

[There's one more update, around 7 o'clock]
