"It is precisely because I sincerely cooperate that I come straight to the point." Xu Tian was not in a hurry and continued at his own pace: "Although Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue are not actors, they are very popular and can make people
Your platform has gained popularity, and Nie Jingjing has already filmed a short video before. Although it is not a superb acting skill, at least it has not hindered her."
"As for Murong Xue, although she is also a singer, she has appeared in a musical produced by Han before. The Korean production is famous for its high standards in the industry. If her acting skills are really poor, it is impossible for Han to choose her as the female lead.
Lord, are you right?"
"That's what I said, but..." Manager Song obviously still wasn't optimistic about the combination of Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue.
After all, Lemon Short Video has already filmed two female protagonists. If they film another one, they will easily be accused by the outside world of following the trend. If the effect is not good, they will be shunned by Lemon Short Video.
"Manager Song, can't the protagonist be decided yet?" At this moment, a background voice came from the other end of the phone: "If we can't be decided yet, our new project may be postponed!"
Manager Song covered his phone and asked, "Where are the alternate actors I gave you before?"
"I contacted everyone I could contact. Some of them were unavailable, and even though some were available, their appearance really didn't fit our positioning..."
"There is no one that matches?"
"There are..." the staff hesitated: "But the popularity is not high, there are only tens of thousands of Weibo fans..."
Manager Song:......
"Manager Song, because we have already sent out the trailer in order to compete with Lemon's short video. If the skylight is opened for the short drama, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among investors. No matter what, we must finalize the candidate today, and we cannot delay it any longer.
!”
Manager Song frowned and finally said to the staff: "I understand."
Then he discussed with Xu Tian.
"Mr. Xu, I can agree to let Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue come over to shoot together, but they have to be there tomorrow morning. Do you have any problems here?"
Xu Tian replied: "No problem."
Now things are developing even more smoothly than he expected.
He was originally worried that Apple Video would not let go, but Manager Song probably didn't have a suitable candidate, so he could only act as a doctor.
In fact, Apple Video and Lemon Short Video have always been bitter rivals. This short video project is also about competing with each other to compete for traffic.
However, their original girl group members suddenly stopped acting before filming, so they were forced to find suitable candidates again.
But time is too tight and it is impossible for any popular artist to have a schedule.
As for the ones that have schedules, Manager Song also dislikes them for not being popular.
After picking and choosing, there was no suitable candidate.
Xu Tian knew about the difficulties faced by Apple Video, so he took the initiative to contact Manager Song.
After finishing the call with Manager Song, Xu Tian, Nie Jingjing and Murong Xue said.
"You have an announcement. Go back and rest early today. I will pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Really? Have you received a notice?" Nie Jingjing's eyes lit up: "What is it? A fashion magazine, or a luxury endorsement?"
Xu Tian: "Short video shooting."
"What? Why is it a short video again?" Nie Jingjing was originally full of hope, but when she heard that it was a short video, she lay back on the table and asked: "Are you going to let us change careers and become internet celebrities?"
"Now is a special period, it would be nice to have an announcement." Xu Tian knocked on her head: "And Apple Video is also a high-traffic short video website. The short dramas they produce are very popular, and they are famous Internet celebrities.
There are also precedents for transforming into actors or singers."
"Times have changed. Don't think that Internet celebrities are inferior to artists in the entertainment industry. Their income from live broadcasts is no lower than yours from endorsements."
"But I..." Nie Jingjing still wanted to defend.
"What are you doing? Originally, we missed this opportunity, and you were not the original candidate."
"You dare to love me and still be rejected?" Nie Jingjing became even more depressed.
"Brother Xu, should I go to shoot too?" Murong Xue asked at this time.
"Yeah." Xu Tian nodded: "Two heroines."
"I have no problem." Murong Xue nodded cooperatively. If they terminated their contract with Qingguo Music, they would definitely be banned by Guo Zhihao and Guo Qishan's uncle and nephew. It is already rare to be able to find a job so quickly.
"Don't have any psychological burden, just shoot normally."
Xu Tian looked at Murong Xue and Nie Jingjing.
It has to be said that the two of them represent two different types of popular female artists in the entertainment industry today.
One is a gentle, kind and harmless little white rabbit, and the other is a wanton and flamboyant queen. They are also the most popular combination among CP characters.
Especially in order to protect Murong Xue and teach Song Jiamo a lesson, Nie Jingjing had attracted a lot of CP fans to the two of them.
These two people acting together will definitely achieve the desired effect.
Of course, Xu Tian would not let them really speculate on gay CP.
After all, the most important thing about CP is to rely on fans’ imagination.
If the company intervenes or buys related hot searches to deliberately let the two people show off their ambiguous feelings, it may be counterproductive and cause resentment among fans.
"By the way, Xiaoxue, the talent show I told Nie Jingjing before, you may also participate in it with her as a mentor."
"This..." Murong Xue was obviously hesitant: "Can I do it?"
She doesn't have any objections to other announcements, but she's just going to be a tutor. She's not qualified yet, right?
"Nie Jingjing can do it, what can't you do?" Yan Qingxue spoke first before Xu Tian could answer.
"I can call you anything you want?" Nie Jingjing protested: "Without personal attacks!"
"Don't worry, you can do it." Xu Tian said with a smile: "And we don't ask you and Nie Jingjing to comment on the players' strength and decide whether they will stay or go. Instead, we ask you each to select a few players to form a team.
We will compete in the form of a team. I plan to form four teams from the list of candidates who passed the audition. Currently, in addition to you, I will invite two more popular singers. As for the expert judges, I will invite professional music critics."
"So that's it." Murong Xue nodded clearly. In fact, although he was a judge, he was actually just a captain leading the contestants in the competition.
"What... I thought Mr. Xu, you finally recognized my singing ability." Nie Jingjing was a little disappointed.
Xu Tian:……
You really don't know anything about your singing skills.
"This talent show is a brand new model, and the planners' idea is also very innovative. I believe it will definitely reignite the trend of the talent show."
"Planner?" Murong Xue asked in surprise: "You didn't plan this variety show?"
