Chapter 567 You Play Tang Sanzang

Yes, let's make money together.

Luo Xun plans to invest in the variety shows he will do next with Zhang Suining and Xia Yu. He doesn't think he will fail. Even if there are variables in parallel time and space, he will try his best to restore the most attractive side of these variety shows to ensure that these programs are loved by the audience. When Xia Yu makes money by investing in variety shows with Luo Xun, she will join Luo Xun's studio without any worries.

The three of them said goodbye temporarily.

A week later, they met again and it was time to formally sign the planning transfer contract of "Singer". There were a lot of ancillary requirements in the contract. The lawyers of both parties checked them one by one for a long time before finally negotiating some detailed issues. When the three parties officially signed their names, it was already dark.

"Find a place to drink?"

Ronan looked at Luo Xun and Li Zhenru.

He and Li Zhenru were not familiar with each other before. It was Luo Xun's variety show that made him familiar with Li Zhenru. Now, after only a few days of contact, the relationship between the two has made great progress.

"No problem."

Luo Xun happened to have nothing to do.

The meal was very enjoyable. The topic of conversation at the table was actually variety shows. In the middle of the meal, Li Zhenru excitedly said that variety shows would have great potential in the future and their influence would far exceed the current situation. This prediction made Luo Xun look at Li Zhenru more.

Previous life.

Let’s not talk about the top programs. In the previous life, Youku’s Spring Variety Show New Product Preview was held in Shanghai. At that time, a self-made variety show "This! Street Dance" that claimed to have invested nearly 200 million yuan, adopted an international production team, and was escorted by Alibaba’s full-domain marketing became popular before it was broadcast.

The investment amount was nearly 600 million yuan.

This figure not only broke the highest record of commercialization of online variety show advertisements at that time, but also announced that online variety shows had entered the era of blockbusters.

So Luo Xun was ready to seize the opportunity.

If we strictly follow Luo Xun's requirements to make a program like "Singer", we will have to invest about 50 million yuan. By then, this program will be one of the most generous variety shows in China. There is still a lot of room for investment for Luo Xun, Zhang Suining and Xia Yu. After all, Hunan TV also wants to reduce the risk of failure as much as possible. During the preparation period of the program, it will also attract investment and raise money by looking for advertisers to invest in the title sponsorship...

Inviting guests is indeed difficult.

There are indeed many big names who are unwilling to come. After all, they have to compete with the contestants. It's so embarrassing to lose. Those small names value face more. Therefore, it is the most difficult to invite singers to participate in the first season. However, after the success of the first season, it will be much better later.

Luo Xun does not plan to rely on a certain variety show for a lifetime.

For any variety show, the golden period is limited. For example, "The Voice of China", this variety show has a very bleak rating since the fourth season. Although it is still very impressive compared with the same period of the show, it can be said that it is a world of difference compared with the peak period.

So Luo Xun's idea is...

If it feels like it's almost done, he will get rid of the program and sell the copyright to the TV station, and he will no longer participate in it. He is now the copyright owner of "Singer", but it does not mean that he will always guard this copyright. "Singer" will gradually be watched by no one, and people will get tired of watching it too much. Anyway, Luo Xun has a lot of copyrights, so he is not afraid.

After being busy with variety shows for a while, Luo Xun began to actively run for film affairs. "SPL 2" has been completed, but there has been no new film contracts. Instead, there are scripts sent to Luo Xun from time to time in the TV circle.

"I can't shoot TV anymore."

Luo Xun knew that he had to slow down the pace of shooting TV series, so even if he encountered some TV scripts that looked okay, he didn't accept them, but left the schedule for movies.

This is quite depressing.

The scripts in the TV circle are endless, and the scripts in the movie circle are very few, which vividly shows Luo Xun's current situation.

The TV circle is very popular.

A newbie in the movie circle.

Although he has supporting roles in "Crazy Stone" and "Kung Fu", who among those who are in the film industry doesn't have more than a dozen or even dozens of films under his name?

Luo Xun has basically no advantage over these people.

If you insist on saying that there is any advantage, it is probably that Hong Kong people pay more and more attention to the mainland film market, so they will choose some familiar faces from mainland actors to please mainland audiences.

This is where Luo Xun's opportunity lies.

However, even with such opportunities, Luo Xun did not get many, most of them were taken by some old actors. After all, there are also some actors in the mainland who have made many film works, which makes Luo Xun quite uncomfortable. He hates not having the initiative and can only be chosen.

This is another reason why he wants to be a director.

As an actor, you have to wait for opportunities passively and be chosen by others. If there is a promoter to help with resource operation, it's okay. If no one helps you to pull resources, Luo Xun can only wait like this.

Looking for Sister Hong?

Recently, the conflict between the Mu sisters and Huanyue headquarters is in a mess. It's a headache to deal with his own affairs. Luo Xun thinks that Mu Yunhong is probably not in the mood to help him.

Fortunately...

Luo Xun's wait didn't last too long. The person who finally helped him was the man he had been waiting for for too long.

Zhou Xingchi.

The other party called and the first sentence made Luo Xun overjoyed: "Get ready to come and film a new movie with me. The movie is called "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons."

"Finally." Luo Xun's voice was full of joy.

Zhou Xingchi was stunned for a moment, and then he could roughly guess Luo Xun's current situation: "It's not so easy to enter the film industry. The Hong Kong film industry is a bit like a closed loop. They always use the same group of actors, which makes it difficult for new actors to stand out. What you are facing now is this closed loop, so there has been no film contract. In fact, this closed loop has gradually opened up in recent years. In a few years, the mainland film market will inevitably blossom. Some relatively sensitive filmmakers have begun to frequently contact mainland artists. Don't you think I am contacting you?"

"Then you contacted early enough."

Luo Xun made a joke. Zhou Xingchi really didn't want anything from him. The bond between the two was friendship and gratitude, not interests. This is a very rare relationship in the entertainment industry.

"The role has been decided."

Zhou Xingchi smiled and said, "I plan to let you play Tang Seng. This role requires acting skills. I don't trust ordinary actors."

"Got it."

The original Wen Zhang's role.

Luo Xun smiled, not surprised. He had considered the plot of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons before, so he knew that it seemed that the role he was most likely to play was the role of Tang Monk.

A monk with emotional scenes.

This time, there was no need to fight, and Luo Xun was more used to it by acting. Although he was good at fighting, it didn't mean he liked fighting. He still liked the shaping of the performance.
