Chapter 232 0231: Chinese People Don’t Cheat Chinese People
For celebrities, the most important indicator is "influence", because they are all public figures and their every move attracts everyone's attention.
The "Celebrity Internet Influence Ranking" launched by Weibo calculates a score based on various data from film, television and music-related practitioners, which reflects the celebrity's traffic level and popularity in a certain period of time. It is divided into actors, Lists in five categories: singers, thumping authors, screenwriters, and directors.
After listening to Chen Qian's explanation, Jiang Ge suddenly realized that that thing actually existed on Earth, and Bu Nao later banned it in order to rectify the chaos in the rice circle.
"I am on the three lists of author, screenwriter and director. I am not the first among the new generation. I am ranked 10th, 5th and 21st in the overall list." Chen Qian posted on the screen. Show it to him.
"It's useless, and there's no prize money." Jiang Ge didn't have much interest in winning or ranking.
"There are no bonuses, but if there is a ranking, there will be disputes, and if there are disputes, there will be discussions. If the popularity increases later, wouldn't there be traffic?" Chen Qian said.
"Okay, Chen Qian, you have done your homework." Jiang Ge said with a smile.
"Hey, he can be considered an investor in the entertainment industry. He definitely wants to understand Yidong's operating model." Chen Qian said.
After being reminded by him, Jiang Ge wanted to see the ranking of the company's artists, so he picked up Shiwang and opened Weibo.
Currently, the highest rankings are Qin Shiyue and Gu Yao. One is the No. 1 New Generation singer and 15th in the overall list. The other is the No. 1 Mesozoic actor and is No. 9 in the overall list.
The rest, like Xu Chenyi, Guan Yansi, Lin Yu and Gong Li, are ranked very well, while the remaining few are ranked outside the 30th place.
Chen Qian gave a simple analysis: "Our company has won first place in each of the five categories. Although its comprehensive strength is a bit behind Penguin, Alibaba and Sina, the three major entertainment companies, it has returned to the ranks of second-tier entertainment companies."
There is nothing wrong with that. The three major entertainment companies have the largest number of people in the top ten of each list, and their overall strength is indeed stronger.
Jiang Ge suddenly had a crazy idea, whether to take the first place in all categories of the Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Old Generation and the overall list.
Bu Nao.
Whether that goal seems certain to be achieved, we just hope we don’t make the same mistake as the old man did.

It's a rich June day, the sun has become a little hot, and the wind has become a little noisy.
Jiang Ge took his legs off the keyboard, stretched out, and worked for seven days, finally polishing and perfecting the scripts of "Painted Skin" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1".
The overall changes are not big, retaining 90% of the original version, except for some details, such as rhythm, lines, scenes, etc.
There is no big problem with the plot. Given the level of special effects of that era, not to mention the performance of replicating the original version, at least it will not be better than the three TV series "Xiao Yuer and Hua Wu Que", "Red Night Chase" and "Xiao Bao and Kangxi" The ratings and airplay generated were poor.
"The actor will be confirmed after receiving Donglai."
Django put his legs back on the keyboard and listed the requested roles in the document.
Suddenly, two jade arms hugged his neck, and a slight breathing sound came from his ears.
"Why don't you wake him up?"
Zhou Lingwei's lazy voice then sounded.
‘You’ve been tossing me for so long, so just let me sleep a little longer. "Django said softly.
"I'm telling you!" Zhou Lingwei blushed and took a bite on his shoulder, then changed the subject and said, "Isn't the script finished?"
Jiang Ge replied: "I've finished writing, and I'm deciding who to play the roles I've requested."
Zhou Lingwei became very interested when she heard that. She walked forward from behind, walked up to his lap, and said, "Can he give me some advice?"
Jiang Ge's eyes were completely attracted to her. Her figure was so good that she could show off her "little sexiness" even in her big loose T-shirt. She couldn't hide her femininity. Dangdong laughed and said: "The boss lady wants to designate which actor will play which role." ?”
Zhou Lingwei hurriedly moved her legs and said, "Can he tell me his feelings after reading the script? I can use it as a reference, but I don't want him to just tell me what he said."
She doesn't want to interfere with her boyfriend's career.
Jiang Ge said "Hmm" and said, "Ming Hong."
That's the best thing to do. In fact, it doesn't hurt to ask for recommended actors who are not too outrageous.
Zhou Lingwei pushed the loose hair covering her eyes to her ears, then looked at the document on the computer and read: "Li Xiaoyao → Xu Chenyi, I wrote that character to be handsome, extremely smart, and full of a strong sense of justice, but also It's a bit naughty and a bit naughty, why not let Shen Yang play it?"
Jiang Ge explained: "There is a difference between a slightly cunning and ghostly character and a nonsensical character. In terms of the compatibility of the character's temperament, Xu Chenyi is more suitable than Shen Yang."
In "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", Li Xiaoyao is definitely the most eye-catching character. Unlike other characters, he is the perfect immortal template, especially he is the most popular swordsman in the world, Flying Sword. , using Qi to control the sword, these are all classic moves in Xian Ai fantasy novels, and Hu Ge's interpretation perfectly authentically embodied the image of a free, free and elegant immortal in the Xian Ai world, leaving a deep impression on countless audiences. impression.
Normally, actors are selected based on the script, but Jiang Ge has the advantage of being a time traveler and systematic. Most of the time, actors are selected based on the script, such as in "Little Fish and Flowers" and "Red Night". "Chasing the Murderer" was chosen by Gu Yao and Gong Li.
Although Xu Chenyi's image and temperament after wearing ancient costumes are different from Hu Ge, he has the flavor of Li Xiaoyao, so he chose "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1".
"Okay." Zhou Lingwei listened to the reason and thought it was reasonable. She looked east and said, "Then it's Zhao Linger's turn. She is gentle and considerate, not competing with the world, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, considerate, pure and unworldly, and smart in tranquility."
Speaking of that, he dragged out the "hmm" sound, thought for a few seconds, and said, "He thinks that Yansi and Shiyue can both play that role."
Jiang Ge nodded and said, "He decided that Shiyue would play Zhao Linger, Yansi would play Lin Yueru, and then Gu Yao would play Lin Qinger."
Liu Yifei was only sixteen or seventeen years old when she played Zhao Linger. She was just the age of a flower. She was watery, playful and ruthless, with red and tender skin.
Next year, Qin Shiyue will be 24 years old and Guan Yansi will be 26 years old. They both look good, but Qin Shiyue looks younger than Guan Yansi.
As for Gu Yao, she is a few years older than Sun Li, who was 28 when she played Lin Qinger, but she looks younger. There is not much difference and she can handle this role.
Zhou Lingwei nodded, then asked curiously, "Is the role of Zhao Linger tailor-made for Shiyue?"
Jiang Ge smiled gently and said, "In fact, in his heart, I am the perfect candidate for Zhao Linger, like a lotus, exuding a temperament that is not afraid of the sun and is not stained by the mud."
Zhou Lingwei's heart was beating fast, and her bright and smiling face suddenly turned red. She said in a delicate voice, "I... will just say something nice to coax him."
Jiang Ge raised his legs to help her smooth the messy hair on her forehead, and said seriously, "Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people."
Jiang Ge and Zhou Lingwei chatted for a while and finalized the actors for several main roles in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", such as Gong Li playing the Drunken Sword Fairy, Su Qin playing Anu, Zhang Jun playing Tang Yu, Lin Yu playing Liu Jinyuan, and Li Sheng playing the Moon Worshiping Sect Leader.
In "Xiao Bao and Kangxi", the little goldfish played by Su Qin and Aobai played by Li Sheng are quite popular. Their image, temperament and acting skills are OK. The key is that the previous cooperation was quite pleasant.
Zhou Lingwei glanced at the list and smiled: "This lineup is simply invincible."
Jiang Ge also thinks so.
It almost brings together several actors who are currently very popular, and they have both traffic and strength. In addition, with such a good script, it deserves the word "invincible".
Zhou Lingwei blinked and said, "Then what about the actors of "Painted Skin"? "
Jiang Ge replied: "He has already decided."
As he said that, he stretched his legs and moved the mouse to open another document.
Zhou Lingwei looked closely.
1. Jiuxiaomeihu Xiaowei, Guan Yansi.
2. General's wife Peirong, Qin Shiyue.
3. Demon slayer Xia Bing, Gu Yao.
4. General Wang Sheng, Zhang Jun.
5. Pang Yong, Gong Li.
...
Good guy, all Chinese artists.
Zhou Lingwei thought it was normal, as it was not good to let outsiders take advantage of the situation.
Moreover.
If they could raise that cast, their influence in the film and television industry, and even the entire entertainment industry, would be extremely terrifying.
Jiang Ge was more concerned about appearance, and if he felt suitable at first sight, then he would basically decide.
Of course, acting skills were also one of the criteria for consideration.
Zhou Lingwei saw that it was half past eleven, and she touched her stomach and said, "He is hungry."
Jiang Ge got up early, but did not eat breakfast, so he felt hungry, and said, "His mother should have almost finished cooking, let's go to the East Building."
Zhou Lingwei rubbed her eyes and said, "He hasn't washed up yet, I'll wait for him for a while."
After that, she got up to change her clothes.
Jiang Ge's eyes were attracted to her again, and she was fat where she should be fat, and thin where she should be thin, which could be described in four words - a feast for the eyes.
After changing her clothes, Zhou Lingwei turned around and saw him looking at her with burning eyes. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Does it look good?"
Jiang Ge's heart was moved, and he smiled and said, "If you add one point, it will be too long, and if you subtract one point, it will be too short; if you put on powder, it will be too red, and if you put on rouge, it will be too red; eyebrows are like green feathers, skin is like red snow; waist is like a bundle of silk, teeth are like shells; a smile is confusing Yangcheng and Dongcai."
Are you addicted to ancient poems?
Zhou Lingwei gave him a red eye and said angrily, "Dengtuzi."
At this time, in the kitchen on the first floor.
Jiang Yong was picking beans, and Wu Xiuyun was stewing soup.
Now, there are fewer things to worry about. The couple will go to the supermarket to buy vegetables from time to time, and then come back to the kitchen to cook.
Jiang Yong put the beans into the sink to wash, and suddenly asked curiously: "I said, how far has my son and Ling Wei progressed?"
"Why do I ask that?" Wu Xiuyun added seasoning to the casserole, and said: "Have you forgotten what he told me? Don't interfere with anything about his son. He doesn't want his son to go back to the way he was before."
Jiang Yong coughed and said: "He didn't forget, but he thinks Ling Wei is a good kid in all aspects and is a good match for his son. Don't I want to have a grandson earlier?"
Wu Xiuyun smiled lightly and said: "What's the use of me being anxious? Let nature take its course and let my son make his own decision."
Jiang Yong sighed and said: "Okay, listen to me."
——————
The sweet weekend ended, Zhou Lingwei returned to work, and Jiang Ge also started working.
"Director Zhu, coffee."
"Thank you."
...
Jiang Ge didn't come to the company at that time, and Hu Xiao received Zhu Ping first.
Zhu Ping received a call yesterday afternoon and immediately bought a plane ticket to Hangzhou.
He was so active. Firstly, he received a considerable bonus, which was like a shot of chicken blood. Secondly, after resting for nearly two months, it was time to start work.
Moreover, he looked at the star influence ranking list on Weibo and was not satisfied with the 34th ranking of Mesozoic Directors, and wanted to move up as soon as possible.
After waiting for a few minutes, Jiang Ge came in. Zhu Ping stood up and said hello: "Dong Jiang."
Jiang Ge smiled and said: "Morning, is the holiday enough?"
Zhu Ping replied: "Enough, this is the longest rest he has had in the past five years."
He had basically finished shooting the first movie before, and would rest for three to five days at most before continuing to shoot the second movie.
Regardless of whether he is an unknown little director, he is willing to make films. The kind of ultra-low-investment online dramas and online movies can be accepted without hesitation.
Jiang Ge quickly got to the point, gave him the script, and said: "For the movie I want to make, he has already decided on the actors for the roles. I will finish the rest as soon as possible. As for the crew, he will probably complete it within a week." , they put efficiency first and strive to finish filming before New Year’s Day and release it during the Spring Festival next year.”
Zhu Ping made a mental calculation and used his super-detailed script to shoot. More than five months would be more than enough time. When the host said: "I promise to complete the task."
He opened the folder and took a look. It was indeed the same as what was revealed in the interview. It was a horror film adapted from the story of "Liao Zhai".
After roughly reading the synopsis of the story, I found that the original story has been greatly adapted, and it can be regarded as a new story. As far as the plot is concerned, it is average.
When I saw the actors, I got a little excited. The cast and the script have a box office of less than 1 billion.
A week later, the crew was assembled.
Jiang Ge asked Hu Xiao to announce the launch time and movie information on the official blog of Huafeng Media, and then all the actors participating in the movie liked and reposted the comments.
"The starring roles include Guan Yansi, Qin Shiyue, Gu Yao, Zhang Jun and Gong Li!"
"That "Painted Skin" is worth looking forward to. The heart that was broken by his horror movie will start beating again!"
"y1s1, even if the plot is too much, with those actors here, are the acting skills guaranteed?"
"The script written by Django himself, the plot is so bad, put your heart in your stomach."
"One pancake didn't come out, one pancake was lost, and no one could survive!"
"..."
…
Since Jiang Ge took over Shi Keteng Media, six TV series and one movie have been released, all of which are of excellent quality.
Even if you are not optimistic about domestic horror films, you have to admit that Django does have quality.
Bu Nao.
Outsiders are more objective than netizens and analyze from a professional perspective and come to the conclusion that it is difficult for "Painted Skin" to replicate the high box office of "Initial D".
Things are over, we will stay up all night tomorrow night, and there will be more updates tomorrow.
