Chapter 160 The Company Enters the Sitcom Market!

After two and a half days of filming, on the evening of December 30, the crew ushered in the New Year's Day holiday.

Many actors and staff live in the capital.

Some people chose to go back to the capital to be with their families, while most people chose to stay in the capital and wait quietly for three days.

At ten o'clock in the morning on the 31st, Chen Xiao stood in front of the coffee machine in the kitchen, covered his mouth and yawned.

The coffee was filled. He held a cup of coffee, walked out of the kitchen, and was about to go upstairs, when he saw Wang Rui coming back from outside.

"Good morning, Director Wang. Have you gone out to eat?"

"No, I'm going out to suffer."

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned.

Enduring hardship? Work overtime?

Did he arrange so much work for Wang Rui?

No way? Could it be said that he is actually the boss who exploits his employees?

Wang Rui seemed to notice his doubts, scratched his head and said with a smile: "The pain of love. I went to deliver breakfast to my girlfriend."

Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Haha, this is a twist, right?

I feel so bad for him! The clown turned out to be myself.

Chen Xiao snorted and said, "How uncomfortable is it to endure hardship? I'll treat you to a cake next year."

With that said, he walked upstairs with the hot coffee in hand.

The smile on Wang Rui's face disappeared instantly and he quickly caught up, "No, Director Chen, don't get me wrong. I'm not showing off. The shackles of love are really painful."

"Let's split it then." Fang Rong said casually as he passed by carrying a garbage bag.

Wang Rui's mouth trembled.

Chen Xiao almost laughed at his abrupt words.

As expected of you, Director Fang.

…

Chen Xiao joked with them a few more times, returned to the room with coffee in hand, and turned on the computer.

Another year is over.

It is estimated that "Kung Fu" will be filmed in another 10 days.

Then start doing the post-production. There are very few areas in this movie that require flashy special effects. In addition, the post-production staff were colleagues who had worked together before, so they had a high degree of tacit understanding, so it took 10 days easily.

It is estimated to be submitted for review on January 20th.

After that, he basically didn’t have to worry about "Kung Fu". Just wait until it is released during the Spring Festival on February 15th.

"Kung Fu" is almost done.

"Master Chef Xiao Fugui" has been completed in the past two days.

In order to have the film released in time for the winter holiday, Jiahao Film and Television deployed additional manpower to speed up the progress.

I told him in the middle of this month that it would be completed by the end of the month and then submitted for review.

The two parties discussed the release platform and broadcast time. It is currently planned to be broadcast on children's channels and some online platforms.

It started broadcasting on January 23rd, with 8 episodes on the first day, and then 4 episodes in one day. It is expected to be completed on February 23rd, and it will be full of winter holiday enthusiasm.

Of course, this is just a plan. How to implement it will have to be contacted by Jiahao for arrangements.

These two things are almost finished.

At the company, departments such as the film department, TV series department, animation and animation department have begun to take shape.

Capitalists want employees to work!

In this way, he can become a millionaire as soon as possible, the richest man in the film and television industry!

With this in mind, Chen Xiao opened the system.

We need to find some works with good scripts but less difficult to shoot.

Of course, forget about the masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. He wants to keep that kind of work for himself, hehehe.

After flipping through it for a while, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up.

sitcom!

For example, domestic films such as "Family with Children", "Wulin Gaiden" and "The Story of the Cooking Class", and foreign films such as "Growing Pains" and "Friends".

This type of sitcom has a simple set and relatively few key personnel.

But the requirements for the script are particularly high.

After all, there are very few screenwriters who can write funny sketches, let alone an 80-episode sitcom?

So the market is almost empty.

Then let’s do this as the company’s first vote.

He served as chief creative officer, providing scripts and serving as screenwriter. The company pays for employees to take photos. Of course, this is the company's first production, so he will also take time to visit the set. Then he asked to carefully select the actors to prevent the house from collapsing.

The plan is roughly like this, so which script to choose?

Choose a domestic work.

Foreign sitcoms have both world and cultural differences. It’s too laborious to modify. It’s almost Chinese New Year and I want to take a break.

Domestically speaking...

Chen Xiao flipped through the system for a while, and finally his eyes stopped on a work.

"Family with Children", that's it.

Why not make "Wulin Gaiden"? Because I want to keep it for myself.

And it would be better to make a few martial arts movies first, and then make "Wulin Gaiden".

This can reflect the feeling - ordinary people have martial arts dreams and pursue the world of martial arts, but in fact we are in the world of martial arts.

Ok, deal.

Chen Xiao directly exchanged the script and began to organize the script.

As a screenwriter, it is quite easy to just organize the text version instead of drawing the scene script.

Half an hour passed.

As I was sorting things out, I couldn't help but hum the theme song.

"Your childhood, my childhood seems to be different..."

Chen Xiao paused.

No, it’s “all seem to be the same”.

Alas, they all seem to be the same, but they are actually different.

Heartbroken.

For a family comedy to be shot carefree, the family must have good conditions.

But in fact, many children's childhood is not very good.

Even though science and technology are advanced now, balanced development cannot be achieved.

Why……

Chen Xiao put down his pen and took his cell phone.

Since you can earn money for your children by filming "Little Fortune" and "Family with Children", then you should donate some money to relatively backward areas to strengthen educational resources.

Just like what is said in "Kung Fu", with greater ability comes greater responsibility!

Take advantage of the New Year and donate a little.

How much to donate?

Let’s start with 20 million and see the effect.

20 million, this number is a bit familiar, it’s just the price of a car…

Wait, why do you think it’s the price of a car? The Maybach in his garage is only more than 3 million.

Hiss, subconscious, making money for too long, you will want to be extravagant!

Donate money first, and after filming "Kung Fu", go and pick up a sports car that is so handsome that the whole world will be eclipsed when it is driven out.

Chen Xiao put away his smile and sent an email to Secretary He.

The reason for contacting Secretary He is that in this day and age, donating a down jacket can be thrown away, let alone 20 million resources, you have to find a reliable channel.

Today is a holiday, so instead of sending chat messages, send an email.

Chen Xiao quickly typed and asked Secretary He if he knew a reliable donation channel.

He did not plan to donate money directly, but educational materials. For example, building schools, adding equipment, and setting up scholarships.

After asking, he just put down his phone and wanted to continue to organize the script, but the phone suddenly rang. It was Secretary He who called.

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Oh, he is not a robot, is he? No rest?

Chen Xiao answered the phone, and Secretary He's voice came from the speaker.

"Director Chen, I saw your email. Are you available to talk now?"

"Convenient. You don't rest even on vacation."

"Haha, the message popped up on the phone."

On the other side of the phone, Secretary He smiled awkwardly.

In fact, he set special reminders for some people, such as Li Zhiming, Chen Xiao, and some superiors.

"As for donating materials, I heard from my colleagues that it is definitely possible to donate, such as building a teaching building, and it can be named after me. But I don't know the details for the time being. I will ask my colleagues in the Ministry of Education and reply to you as soon as possible."

"Thank you for troubling you."

The two chatted for a few more sentences and hung up the phone.

Chen Xiao put down the phone and touched his chin.

Named after me... Chen Xiao Building?

This is also good for the company. Chen Xiao's name is well-known.

But the problem is, if I donate more in the future, even to universities, I might hear students say... Let's go to Chen Xiao Building for dinner. Go to Chen Xiao Building to use the toilet, go to Chen Xiao Building to sleep.

Uh, I feel like my home has been invaded.

Forget it, don't use his name, use the company's name.

After sorting it out until noon, Chen Xiao stretched and walked out of the room, just in time to meet Fang Rong who was also going out.

The two chatted and walked towards the restaurant.

"Director Chen, the crew will celebrate the New Year together tonight, do you want to do a show?"

"No, I've been working for a year, don't bother me on the night of the 31st."

"Okay. Hey, what do you do in your room every day when you have nothing to do?"

"Sorting out the company's scripts."

"Oh, I thought you were playing games in your room."

"How is that possible? I don't like playing games at all!" Chen Xiao said righteously.

"Really? Not bad."

Fang Rong smiled and nodded, with a cunning look in his eyes.
