Accidental Mark

[Accidental Mark Chapter 20]

When Pei Shaoze returned to the company in the afternoon, he immediately held a small meeting with the people from the Propaganda Department.People in the Tianxuan Propaganda Department had a bad face when they received the news of the meeting, because Mr. Pei's order seemed to mean two words - overtime.

They could see the picture of the copyright team and the legal team getting bald from the busy work before.There are three fires for the new official to take office. I don't know what kind of fire Boss Pei will set off in the Propaganda Department this time?

Everyone walked into the meeting room anxiously, but unexpectedly, Pei Shaoze's meeting time was very short this time, and the task assigned was quite easy: "The company decided to start a project for the novel "Folding Paper" to shoot a web drama, and the General Administration has already approved it. For the record. Take the time to write a few drafts and publish them on major websites.”

Manager Liu from the Propaganda Department asked, "Just posting promotional drafts on major websites? Do you need to buy headlines or trending searches?"

Pei Shaoze said decisively: "You don't need to buy it. Try to contact the original author to see if the author is willing to participate in the adaptation of the script or audition. It is best to cooperate with us in forwarding the news of the crew. It is enough to let the book fans know about it."

Manager Liu asked: "Then is this audition a national audition, or is it a small-scale cutscene?"

Pei Shaoze handed him a proposal: "There will be no auditions, and only six important roles will be selected for auditions. The recruitment notices will be posted on the major artist websites in the industry. This drama still needs more than 20 actors. Interested parties are welcome. Actors join."

The entire meeting ended quickly within 15 minutes. Pei Shaoze explained the publicity plan clearly and asked everyone to work according to the plan.The colleagues in the Propaganda Department were a little dazed after the meeting. Although everyone admired Mr. Pei's straightforward and neat work style, the promotional investment of this drama...is it too shabby?

Don't buy popular searches, don't look for major film and television bloggers to brag about marketing, and don't even look for trolls who score points?It's like sending out a press release to tell netizens "Hi everyone, I'm going to make a drama", and then start filming the drama quietly?

People from the Propaganda Department quickly came to a conclusion: "Mr. Pei may not have enough money!" "The company stipulates that the team's investment should not exceed 1000 million, but 1000 million is more than enough for a web drama, right? Are you reluctant to spend some publicity money?" "Boss Pei obviously wants to test the waters in a drama. Is there really no need to promote this kind of campus theme that will hit the street as soon as you hear it?"

Pei Shaoze was not in a hurry.

Those dramas that were the most searched for the last audition, the last time the machine was turned on, and the makeup photos were all the most searched for every day, are there not many dramas that end up in a mess?Giving the audience too much sense of expectation, every day the hot search swipes the screen, and the unsatisfactory shooting in the end will only cause backlash.It's better to be serious about filming dramas, first to improve the quality of the episodes, and to surprise everyone after the well-produced dramas are released.

As the director of the system, he must plan the use of all funds and try to spend the money wisely.There is no need to spend too much in the early stage of publicity. The so-called publicity is to tell everyone that "we are going to make this show" is enough.

After arranging the publicity, Pei Shaoze followed the company's procedures for financial allocation, and met Liu Xueyi and Xu Moran the next day to discuss the next plan in detail.

Liu Xueyi has his own team. Fu Huadao and the cameraman and lighting engineer of the previous drama can be directly called to continue to cooperate. Pei Shaoze will be the producer himself, and some staff members will be hired to do errands. Their crew will be considered complete.

Today is a meeting for the main creators of this drama, so Liu Xueyi asked each item in detail.

"In terms of music, what is Boss Pei planning to do? Just find a few good songs and pay the copyright fee?" Most low-cost online dramas don't have their own original music, so pick some suitable songs and pay the copyright fee for the opening and ending credits. This is more economical.

"Since we're taking the high-quality route, let's make original music." Pei Shaoze thought for a while, and then said: "I will tell Chen Yijun to ask her to help write a theme song. As for the episodes in the play, we can find a professional music studio to measure them." Customized."

"Original music costs a lot of money, but the money saved in publicity can be used. However, would a famous singer like Chen Yijun be willing to write a theme song for a web drama?" Is writing the theme song for a drama too "condescending" for the pop queen Chen Yijun?It's normal for Liu Xueyi to have such doubts.

"Don't worry, I will convince Chen Yijun."

With President Pei's guarantee, Liu Xueyi certainly no longer doubted: "That's great, Chen Yijun can bring some fans over!"

Pei Shaoze nodded, and continued: "Tianxuan's financial appropriation will take time, and the investment funds should arrive within half a month. By then, the Spring Festival will be over. Director Liu, choose a good day and start the operation officially."

The funds arrived within half a month, which is the fastest time Liu Xueyi has ever experienced.

Liu Xueyi shook hands with Pei Shaoze: "Boss Pei, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you! When I get back, I'll call all the crew from the previous drama to prepare for the start after the Spring Festival. I hope everything will go smoothly!"

***

At this time, Cheng Xia was in the private room of Ronghua Hotel opposite No. [-] Middle School.

It took a week to shoot the MV, and Chen Yijun took the initiative to invite all the staff to dinner.She is friendly in private, never puts on celebrity airs, and takes special care of Cheng Xia. After getting along these few days, the two of them are already very close, and their relationship is like that of siblings.

Halfway through the meal, Chen Yijun suddenly asked, "By the way, Cheng Xia, do you have Weibo?"

Cheng Xia took out her mobile phone and opened her Weibo to show her: "This is my Weibo account, but I don't usually post much, I just log in to read news, gossip, etc. Sister Yan said that she would help us register together. New Weibo, apply for certification."

When Zhou Yan heard this, she explained: "This is President Pei's intention. The company uniformly helps newcomers apply for Weibo accounts, and this account will be managed by the agent."

Chen Yijun was not surprised by this: "Weibo is managed by the agent? Pei is always afraid that newcomers will not know how to measure, post things randomly, and be picked up by others and become black history?"

Zhou Yan said: "Yes, after all, there have been such precedents in the circle."

Chen Yijun looked at Cheng Xia with a smile: "You have applied for a new Weibo and let me know. I want to be your first fan."

Cheng Xia was flattered: "Sister Jun, stop joking, you have tens of millions of followers on Weibo, it's not good to suddenly follow me, isn't it?"

Chen Yijun waved her hand casually: "It's okay, I'm Tianxuan's signed singer, and it's normal to pay attention to Tianxuan's newcomers. When the MV is released in a few days, the leading actor will definitely attract attention. At that time, I will introduce it to fans. The handsome little brother in the MV is Cheng Xia, a newcomer in our company. You have a Weibo, so I can circle you."

Zhou Yan was extremely excited, Chen Yijun was willing to take the initiative to promote Cheng Xia, this is really a big pie in the sky!She hastily took out her mobile phone and opened the new Weibo that Cheng Xia had applied for and showed it to Chen Yijun: "Cheng Xia's Weibo has just passed the certification, this is it."

Cheng Xia's trumpet is "Summer Orange", and the content is all current affairs news and funny jokes he reposted.The new Weibo ID that Zhou Yan applied for was called "Cheng Xia", and the certified Huang V wrote "Contracted Artist of Tianxuan Group".

The agent has been busy applying for a new Weibo, and Cheng Xia hasn't paid attention to it for the past few days. Now that he went over to take a look, he found that his Weibo actually has fans. He couldn't help but wonder: "Why does my Weibo have fans? ? Didn’t you just register?”

Zhou Yan was also quite puzzled, she hadn't had time to buy fans for Cheng Xia, where did the wild fans come from?She casually clicked on the fan and took a look. The familiar "Pei" profile picture and the crisp and neat introduction of "Tianxuan Group CEO" shocked her a lot.

Cheng Xia's heart skipped a beat: "Boss Pei?"

The first person to pay attention to him was Mr. Pei?

Zhou Yan clicked into Pei's profile picture with trembling hands, and found that President Pei not only paid attention to Cheng Xia, but also paid attention to all the artists in Tianxuan Group C. She was slightly relieved, and said: "President Pei probably pays attention politely."

Chen Yijun leaned over to look at Zhou Yan's phone screen, and couldn't help complaining: "Boss Pei secretly followed all the artists. By the way, why did he delete all his Weibo? I remember he posted a lot of selfies before? "After she finished speaking, she looked at the agent next to her and asked, "Sister Wu, you have seen it too, Mr. Pei's previous Weibo is full of photos that go around."

Chen Yijun's manager is called Wu Xin, who puts on a paralyzed face all day long, and Cheng Xia dare not talk to this sister.Hearing Chen Yijun's words, she said expressionlessly: "He deleted all the previous Weibo, probably because he felt that the things he posted before were too embarrassing."

Everyone: "..."

That's true. In the past, Pei Shaoze's Weibo was all about taking selfies, whether he was surfing on the beach or drinking in a club. The image of Mr. Pei in a suit and leather shoes is too different now.

Wu Xin continued: "Didn't you realize that he has suddenly become a workaholic recently, as if he has changed his soul?"

Chen Yijun was thoughtful: "Speaking of which, he has really changed a lot. I heard that he called the publicity team to a meeting as soon as he came back from a business trip, and he even gave the legal and copyright teams a lot of trouble a while ago."

Director Zhang also interjected: "That's right, they used to say that Tianxuan's new boss, Pei Shaoze, is unreliable, but last time he came to visit the class, I think he's pretty good, is there some misunderstanding in the rumors?"

Everyone didn't interrupt Cheng Xia's discussion about Mr. Pei.

Cheng Xia thought to himself, he has never been in touch with what Pei Shaoze was like before, so it's hard to evaluate him.All he knows is that he likes Mr. Pei as he is now - he handles things decisively, is serious and responsible, and makes people feel very down-to-earth and at ease.Thinking of looking at Mr. Pei who was working overtime across the street that night, Cheng Xia felt that it was a blessing for Tianxuan artistes to meet such a dedicated boss.

At this moment, Chen Yijun's phone rang suddenly. She glanced at the caller ID, said sorry to everyone, went out to answer the phone, and went to the manager to whisper a few words when she came back. Zhou Yan keenly saw Chen Yijun's phone call When "Pei Shaoze" was displayed, she guessed it was Boss Pei's call, and thought it was related to the MV.

Not long after, she also received a message from President Pei on her mobile phone: "At 2 am on February 7th, the crew of "Folding Paper" on the 9th floor of Tianxuan Building officially auditioned. The script to be performed in the audition has been sent to your email by Zhang Fan to inform you The artists you bring are ready."

Zhou Yan immediately typed back: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I understand."

The meal ended in a hurry.

Chen Yijun and her agent Wu Xin returned to the company in a nanny car, and Zhou Yan also took Cheng Xia back to the company in another car.On the way, Cheng Xia asked Zhou Yan softly: "Sister Yan, can I log in to that new Weibo by myself? Or is it always managed by you?"

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "Of course you can log in to your Weibo by yourself. But remember, don't swipe likes, post negative things, or make any comments on gossip in the entertainment circle. From now on, you need to be conscious of being a public figure, and you'd better think about it when you post on Weibo, and don't cause trouble for yourself, understand?"

Cheng Xia immediately raised her hand to promise: "Understood, I will never post randomly, and I will check it with you before posting."

He just felt that Mr. Pei followed his account, and he wanted to log in by himself instead of leaving it to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan sent the Weibo login name and password to Cheng Xia, and by the way, also forwarded the message sent by Mr. Pei.

Cheng Xia was startled: "Audition on February 2th, so soon?"

Zhou Yan took a deep breath, looked at Cheng Xia and said seriously: "Boss Pei is more serious about this drama than I thought. If you are in such a hurry to audition, you probably want to start filming immediately after the Spring Festival." She paused After a pause, he warned again: "Cheng Xia, go back and take the time to read the information I gave you. If you can seize this opportunity, your future journey will be much smoother."

Cheng Xia nodded: "Sister Yan, don't worry, I've been reading the materials for the past few days, and I know how to act when the time comes."

Zhou Yan patted the boy on the shoulder encouragingly: "Come on."
