"Wow, this is so cute."
"Yeah, I think so too."
"Give me one. Give me one."
In Xu Chuan's Shanghai studio, everyone basically put down their work and gathered around a table to talk about the gadgets on the table.
And this gadget is the famous little yellow duck on earth.
Of course, he is not a pure little yellow duck, but he wears sunglasses and a helmet, and there is a bamboo dragonfly helmet duck on the helmet.
On Earth, this little duck has been bought by many people and placed on car rearview mirrors, handlebars, and helmets.
It can be said to be a very cute little toy and decoration.
This duck has many nicknames, such as "Turbo Duck", "Bon Voyage Duck", etc. Anyway, it is very popular.
Last time Xu Chuan called Zhang Yan and asked his father to produce a toy, which was this duck.
Speaking of which, Xu Chuan was suddenly inspired to make this duck.
According to the plot of "The Beginning", in the finale, Lao Jiao, who received the bonus for his bravery, finally got his wish and was able to afford an electric car and start delivering food.
Therefore, in the finale, there was a scene of Lao Jiao wearing takeout clothes and a safety helmet happily riding a bicycle to deliver takeout.
To be honest, when preparing the costumes and props for takeout, Xu Chuan always felt that there was something missing.
Especially when filming the first scene of the deliveryman who caused the car accident, Xu Chuan's feeling of shortcomings was even stronger.
Later, when Lao Jiao changed his clothes, Xu Chuan finally figured out what was missing, which was a duck.
Xu Chuan remembered very clearly that when he saw the scene where Lao Jiao was wearing takeout clothes, there was a helmet duck on Lao Jiao's helmet.
Why he remembered it so clearly was because after he saw the helmeted duck on Lao Jiao's head, he bought two of them on a whim and put them on the rearview mirror of his car.
In fact, if it were just like this, Xu Chuan would not be so impressed.
What really impressed him was that the next day these two ducks were snatched by some shameless person.
Xu Chuan almost got angry to death at that time.
Damn, I haven’t had enough fun with it yet. Who is so mean? !
With this experience, Xu Chuan has an "unforgettable" memory of this duck.
Therefore, Xu Chuan drew a picture with a pen and had one of the props from "The Beginning" made. Xu Chuan also used it to register the copyright.
Of course, if there is no copyright, there is no way to prevent others from following suit.
Xu Chuan has never thought about doing something with this copyright, but the copyright that should be registered must be registered, otherwise it will be disgusting if some shameless person registers it and then comes and slaps him.
In addition, you can actually use the image of this little yellow duck to make more peripherals. This can be regarded as a minor tertiary product.
"You guys are just having fun, don't tell anyone about it now." After playing around, Zhang Yan told everyone that the people in "The Beginning" also signed confidentiality agreements before.
"Don't worry, Sister Yan, hey, I think this can be placed on the monitor, hehe." Liu Yaxin said with a smile, then took a duck and placed it directly in the upper right corner of her monitor.
After I finished placing it, I felt it was not very coordinated, so I took another one and placed it in the upper left corner of the monitor.
It still feels wrong to look at it this way.
After much tossing and tossing, Liu Yaxin finally had a row of ducks with helmets of different colors placed on her monitor.
"Well, it looks much better this way." Liu Yaxin looked at the row of ducks on the monitor and nodded with satisfaction.
"Good guy, why are you doing breeding here?" Xu Jun, who was next to her, couldn't help but complain after seeing this.
"Don't care, do you think this duck is so cute? Will it sell out after the finale is broadcast?" Liu Yaxin asked Xu Junjun.
"I guess so, but imitations will come out soon and we won't be able to sell them for long." Xu Junjun shrugged.
"Why does Brother Chuan always have so many weird ideas in his mind?"
"Hahaha, this is the difference between us and him." Xu Jun said, picking up the helmet duck and blowing on the bamboo dragonfly on the helmet.
Watching the bamboo dragonfly on his hat being blown around, he couldn't help but continue to blow, highlighting his childlike innocence.
Xu Yanyan was having a great time playing with toys here, but Xu Chuan on the other side was also playing with things.
He's playing with a gun.
Authentic Type 95 automatic rifle.
In the plot of "Soldier Assault", Old A is equipped with Type 95, while the 702nd Regiment is equipped with Type 81-1 assault rifle.
Needless to say, most men really have no resistance to guns.
For Xu Chuan, who has never been a soldier, this is the first time in his two lives that he has touched a real gun. If it hadn't been for the filming of "Soldier Assault", he doesn't know when or what month he would have touched it.
Therefore, even if the gun doesn't even have bullets, Xu Chuan still can't put it down.
"Let me tell you about the disassembly and assembly of firearms." A man's voice sounded in the training ground.
"Soldier Assault" is a military film, so Xu Chuan required all actors to participate in training in advance.
Not to be honest like a soldier, at least don't make fun of some basic things.
And this training includes the use of firearms.
The most important thing about using firearms here is to practice shooting movements. It would be ridiculous to hold a gun and let people know it is fake at a glance.
Of course, the guns used for much of the filming were replica props.
However, some shooting and target shooting scenes in "Soldier Assault" still require the use of real guns and blank ammunition.
Not only that, Xu Chuan's drama also has serious military advisers, two "retired old men" from the army who have the same title as the bureau seat, and the lineup is full.
In fact, the original version of "Soldier Assault" on Earth also has military advisors, and their levels are higher than those on Xu Chuan's side.
Compared with "The Beginning", the production cycle of "Soldier Assault" will be longer. It is now the end of November and will soon be December.
However, according to the plan, filming will officially start in January next year, and is expected to be completed in mid-March. After post-production is completed in mid-June, it will be submitted for review and revision, and it will be broadcast on August 1.
In order to ensure that the shooting can proceed smoothly as planned.
Now the crew is directly allocated, and the large troops have already gone to Yunnan for location scouting and preparation. The reason why they chose that place is because there are old camps there that fit the time background of "Soldier Assault".
In a few days, these actors will also have to go to Yunnan, and the remaining training will have to be conducted in Yunnan.
At the same time, Lin Mengying also started preparations for "The Richest Man in Xihong City". In the past few days, Xu Chuan met with her brother, Tang Hong, the CEO of Tangyuan, under the recommendation of Tang Yuan.
It didn't take long for the two parties to finalize the cooperation.
The investment is 30% to 70%, and [Hills and Rivers] accounts for 70%.
It's not that Xu Chuan is too black and refuses to give up profits, it's that Tang Hong just wants to try his hand at it and refuses to make more bets.
But it doesn't matter, what Xu Chuan wants is not Tang Hong's money, but their company's channels.
Movies and TV series are different after all, and they really can’t be mastered by just playing around.
With Tang Hong's participation, at least it will not suffer in terms of theaters and publicity.
As for why Xingtang and Yuan Meng were not chosen to continue their cooperation, it was naturally because people cannot hang themselves on a tree, and Xu Chuan needed to ensure that he had more options.
Time passes day by day in all kinds of busyness.
Soon, December 4th came. Today is Tuesday, and it is also the day of the finale of "The Beginning".
At this time, Xu Chuan had also followed the large army to Yunnan.
Of course, they couldn't live in a military camp. Instead, they stayed in several hotels about an hour away from the filming location.
In the room, Cai Meng was having fun with a duck in a helmet.
She asked Zhang Yan to send this to her. Different from the one stuck on the helmet, this one has a buckle that can be hung on the bag as an ornament or used as a keychain.
"Brother Chuan, this is really fun." While playing, Cai Meng said to Xu Chuan next to him.
Hearing this, Xu Chuan raised his head and glanced at Cai Meng, and said in a funny tone: "If you like, let Zhang Yan make a big one for you someday."
"Can we make it bigger?"
"It's so fresh. I can scale it up and make it as big as you."
"Forget it, the smaller ones are still cute. I like the smaller ones." Cai Meng thought about the big duck carefully, and suddenly felt that the little duck was still cute.
Do you like small ones?
Xu Chuan's expression became a little weird when he heard this.
Damn it, I was led astray by some old pervert, how could I think this sentence wrongly?
Just as he was about to speak, he heard his cell phone ringing.
I picked it up and saw that it was Zhang Yan calling.
"Hey, what's wrong? Something's wrong with the duck?" Xu Chuan deliberately teased after answering the phone.
"Hahahaha." Zhang Yan burst into laughter after being teased by Xu Chuan.
After laughing for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "No, Brother Chuan, there is an awards ceremony that I want to invite you to. It's up to you whether you want to go."
"Award ceremony? Musical?" Xu Chuan asked curiously.
Blue Star Internal Entertainment does have some music awards, but its influence is getting smaller and smaller year by year.
No one is paying attention to it now, which is actually a pity, but there is no way.
"No, it's Huizhou Satellite TV's National Drama Ceremony. They want to invite you and the creators of "The Beginning" to participate." Zhang Yan said.
"The National Drama Festival? Did Xingtang register for it? Can pure online dramas also participate?" Xu Chuan asked.
This kind of award ceremony is usually signed up by the show itself.
Including categories such as Magnolia, Feitian, Golden Eagle, etc., you must register to participate in the awards.
Moreover, only Blue Star domestic entertainment and satellite TV dramas can sign up to participate in the awards.
Pure online dramas like "The Beginning" are currently not within the reception range.
In fact, it is the same on earth. Magnolia only accepted applications for pure online dramas in 2019.
"No, Xingtang didn't apply, and neither did Youdou. They were directly invited by the National Drama Festival." Zhang Yan explained that after receiving the news, she immediately confirmed it with Xingtang and Youdou.
"That's it." Xu Chuan wasn't too surprised when he heard this. The path of the Chinese Drama Festival has always been wild.
To talk about the gold content of the awards in this ceremony, it can be said that there is no gold content at all. Their awards are not fixed and change every year.
It can be said that celebrities who go there will basically get awards. Therefore, celebrities are also willing to support them. After all, no one will think that they have too many awards. This is all a marketing point.
Because of this, the ratings of this award are quite high, as it features a star-studded show with a relaxed atmosphere.
The audience was not there to see who won the award, but to watch the celebrity party.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan said: "When will the awards begin?"
"The red carpet will start at 3:30 p.m. on January 2, and the live broadcast will start at 7:30 p.m."
"That's okay, we have enough time." Xu Chuan nodded.
He and Qiu Yicheng will attend a New Year's Eve concert in Jiangsu Province on the night of the 31st. If there is some Chinese drama ceremony on the 1st, Xu Chuan really won't go.
Because the time is too tight.
Don’t think that Su Province and Hui Province are just next door, so they are very close.
The New Year's Eve concert in Suzhou was held at the Cotai Arena in Aohuang, and the recording location of the Chinese Drama Festival was not in Hefei, but in Beijing.
"Then shall I inform others?" Zhang Yan asked.
"Okay." Xu Chuan nodded. He is the producer of this drama, so others will naturally inform themselves.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chuan said to Cai Meng, "Cai Cai, show me my itinerary."
When Cai Meng heard this, he quickly flipped through his phone and walked to Xu Chuan's side. Cai Meng was now keeping track of Xu Chuan's itinerary.
The two of them were looking at the next trip.
The finale of "The Beginning" was finally released on Youdou at 8 o'clock on time.
There is another chapter later.
