Chapter 77: Preparing to Film "Go Princess Go"
Lu Yuan plans to hand over the filming of "Lu Dianban" to the three of them and will no longer act himself.
He left it to the three of them to handle; his main focus now was preparing to film "Go Princess Go".
This will be his most profitable project so far; he already owns the copyright, and now all that's left is to film it.
As for the money, of course, he and Xixi invested in it for him.
Therefore, this drama is not produced by his studio, but by a separate company he and Liu Yifei established.
After he explained the situation in detail, Huang Daoji and the others expressed their understanding.
Knowing about "The Journey of Flower" was Lu Yuan's foresight; at the time, they just wanted to lend him money.
He insisted on dividing the profits according to the amount they invested, and now he has bought the copyright for "Go Princess Go" in full.
That's normal, and their studio is still operating normally.
They could understand this, as the three of them knew that they were far behind Lu Yuan in this regard.
The three understood that it was impossible to stay tied to one warship forever.
If you're always tied to the same warship, that's what will cause brotherhood to drift apart.
This is just right; the studio specializes in making these kinds of short dramas that make money.
When the short dramas become profitable, they can collaborate on producing longer dramas.
Now it's just right to let Lu Yuan explore the way ahead on his own.
Everything was explained clearly, and everyone was no longer so hesitant.
All three of them couldn't help but add a word of caution, telling Lu Yuan to be careful.
I'm dating Liu Yifei now, and starting a company together is no problem, but what if we break up later?
As brothers, we have to say what needs to be said.
Lu Yuan responded to the three's concerns with a smile, saying that feelings are feelings and work is work.
Moreover, since Liu Yifei invested in the drama, and that's what she said, the three of them didn't say anything more.
Just let him have a general idea in his mind.
After reading Lu Yuan's adapted script, Liu Yifei felt that the drama was quite interesting, and she prepared to act in it herself.
Lu Yuan refused outright because the show was just a web series, and having Xixi act in it would really lower her status.
Moreover, web dramas haven't reached the stage of becoming wildly popular yet, so there's really no need for her to lower her own value.
Just like when the live streaming industry first started, which popular celebrity went into live streaming?
That would really lower one's value and affect the star's worth; then, fewer scripts would be offered to them.
The main issue is endorsements. Lu Yuan can handle the script, but he really can't help with endorsements right now.
She was a little unhappy about being rejected by Lu Yuan.
Seeing her like this, all he could do was hug her and comfort her, like he was coaxing a child.
Women in love feel like children, no matter how old they are.
It's the same principle as saying that a man is a boy until he dies.
With Xixi's help, Lu Yuan finally managed to set up a filming team.
As for the actress, he still intends to use Zhang Tianai, since she is currently working as an extra.
The price wouldn't be much at all, and it would allow her to better recreate the entire drama.
But Liu Yifei was a little unhappy when she learned that he had specifically mentioned Zhang Tianai.
"What is your relationship with Zhang Tian'ai?" Her eyes gleamed with a dangerous light.
"It's nothing, I just heard about her back in school, but I don't know her at all."
"A person who has received formal training and has social experience will not be arrogant."
Lu Yuan explained earnestly that he genuinely did not know Zhang Tian'ai.
Zhang Tian'ai did study at the Yenching Film Academy, so there's nothing wrong with that.
Of course, she wasn't a professional undergraduate; she was someone who paid for her own education.
At that time, Lu Yuan was a freshman in college, so this explanation makes sense.
As long as Xixi doesn't press for answers, it's fine.
"Hmph...you better be like that." Liu Yifei looked suspicious.
Lu Yuan gently flicked her nose. "You little jealous thing, there's nothing I can do with you!"
"Then sign her, and I'll be the boss."
The two of them founded the company together, and she was basically the boss's wife, so there was nothing wrong with that.
With the young artist under her control, how could she be afraid that she would cause trouble?
She believed the man was smart enough to know he was the boss and wouldn't act recklessly in front of her.
"Okay, whatever you say."
"I always thought this drama would be a hit, so letting her act in it was a bargain for her. Signing her was just right."
……
Liu Yifei was secretly pleased. She was just putting on an act; she wouldn't actually be jealous over something like this.
He just wanted to see Lu Yuan's attitude towards him.
Lu Yuan used all newcomers in this drama to save money.
The original version was popular because everyone who put their heart into it. Although he came earlier than expected, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to become popular.
Apart from Lu Yuan, it's basically the same cast. Anyway, these people are cheap, and they're all newcomers.
To better capture the storyline, and with that desired effect in mind, Lu Yuan could film it much faster.
In the end, Lu Yuan signed Zhang Tianai and Peng Yuchang because both of them had promising careers.
As for the second male lead, Lu Yuan, he casually found Zhang Yunlong at school, but he didn't go to Yu Menglong.
He didn't know if that story was true or not, but preventing him from debuting in this film might have changed his fate.
That's all he can do. He's not a saint, so why should he remind Yu Menglong to be careful or not to enter the entertainment industry?
Saying it like this now will only make others think he's crazy.
Moreover, he and he had no relationship before his rebirth, so it was even more impossible for them to go to that extent.
This is the only thing that can help him change his fate.
As for whether he will enter the entertainment industry later, and how he will enter the entertainment industry, that is something Lu Yuan doesn't know.
Lu Yuan explained the situation to the teacher, who expressed understanding.
Grant him leave immediately so he can focus on filming and strive to become a great director in the future, bringing glory to the Beijing Film Academy.
The crew headed to Xiangshan Film and Television City, and before parting, Lu Yuan and Liu Yifei did what they loved to do.
Only then did he reluctantly head to Zhejiang to prepare for the official filming of his first feature-length drama.
"What do you guys think of this director? He hasn't even graduated yet."
"Who knows! But I heard he acted in 'Unexpected'."
What is "Unexpected"?
"It's a comedy short film, you can take a look, but the production quality is just so-so."
"That might not work!"
"Who cares? We were paid to come here anyway, as long as we get paid, that's all that matters."
"That's true, hahaha..."
……
The other members of the directing team were discussing it, all feeling that Lu Yuan was too young and probably wouldn't be able to direct a TV series well.
They're just doing things for money now, but they have absolutely no respect for Lu Yuan.
The filming of "Lu Dian Ban" still requires three people; otherwise, Lu Yuan would have liked to bring someone to help.
Now he's the only one in charge of the entire production crew, but this is also a test.
