Chapter 225 25th Anniversary SP (03)

"I don't think the five sons of APEX thought that this is your real trump card?" Fan Zhi flipped through a thick stack of scripts.This is just a literary script, not a sub-shot script for filming.But it is precisely because of this that Fan Zhi saw the wonderfulness of this story.

"I said, let them go to the Caribbean and let them play pirates. It turns out that they are preparing for this "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie. I looked at the role arrangement, Shi Liang played Jack Sparrow; Kuang Wei Wei plays William Duna; Shen Wu plays Hector Barbossa; Cao Jiangang plays Cutler Beckett; Lang Daoyuan plays James Norrington. I read your outline, Shi Liang's character is the main character throughout the play Character, isn't this a waste of Kuang Wei's popularity?"

Li Wei handed Fan Zhi a character design, "This is Captain Jack's appearance, a very funny character. Kuang Wei's popularity is high, but he is suitable for playing the traditional niche male lead. So , William, the third male lead in this series of movies and also the first male lead in the first episode, is more suitable for him.

——This is the first time that Kirin Film Production Company has started the production plan of a large-scale commercial film. From the shooting location to the character setting, we have put in a lot of hard work.Naturally, APEX in the future will not only conquer fans at records and concerts, but their journey is in the film and TV circles!

Shi Liang is mainly attacking the host circle, I want to make him the No.1 host after the era of "Three Kings and One Queen"; Kuang Wei will be the future actor in the film circle, he will straddle commercial films and art films, which is both a box office guarantee He is also the darling of awards; Lang Daoyuan is also the main direction of development in the film industry, but he will be the first choice for directors of low-budget films, and he is also a frequent visitor to major art film awards; Cao Jiangang will mainly focus on TV dramas, especially fashion dramas. He shoots costume dramas and historical dramas; Shen Wu hosts variety shows with one hand, and plays drama episodes with the other. Shen Wu's face is very suitable for acting in family dramas and sitcoms. He is very talented in this regard. "

"Then what is their general plan for next year?" Fan Zhi asked, "You should breathe early, so I can make arrangements early."

"The first is the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl", because all members except Cao Jiangang will participate, and we also need to see if the box office is enough to support the sequel, so this is the focus of next year." Li Wei said, "He The hosting work of the five TV shows will remain unchanged for the time being, but the recording of two original online variety shows will be added. One is an outdoor variety show, "Running Boy"; Cao Jiangang has four TV dramas to shoot because of his relatively easy work next year. Kuang Wei, besides "Pirates of the Caribbean", also has a gangster-themed movie. Lang Daoyuan has a literary romance movie. As for Shen Wu, apart from him Currently, he has an outdoor travel show "Gourmet Map" and an in-studio game show "Challenge Primary School Students". We are preparing related plans."

"I found that capitalists are always squeezing employees." Fan Zhi said, "According to your schedule, if they want to record other people's variety shows, or shoot commercials or magazines, there is almost no time."

"If you have time, don't waste it on these!" Li Wei said, "From next year, APEX will no longer be an idol group. So, unless it is a high-end talk show or a variety show with the highest ratings, other programs No consideration at all. As a group, APEX is enough to show up twice a month; for the rest of the members, three to five times a month is about the same. As for magazine covers or advertising posters, directly give the quota, if you want all members to be on the cover, It must be a first-line major magazine, at most once every six months; if it is a single person, then the conditions can be appropriately relaxed. As for poster shooting, all staff must be international brands, and the single person must also be an Asian brand. The grade is not enough Brand, no matter how much money is given, it will not be photographed."

Li Wei's method is very simple, limited by price.If APEX continues to be an idol group, Li Wei thinks they can continue to hang out like this.But in the future APEX will have the host king, movie king and Shidi, so can you shoot those low-grade commercials?If you look at the film industry, not to mention the actors of the actor and actress, even the second-tier movie actors can't easily appear in variety shows.Movie actors can only show up at new film launches or first-line fashion parties, and showing up on other occasions is self-degrading.The same is true for Li Wei's APEX. Except for Shi Liang and Shen Wu who will take the route of variety show kings in the future, there will be a lot of exposure on TV, and the rest should be reduced as much as possible, especially Kuang Wei and Lang Daoyuan, the two future main movies. route people.

Fan Zhi also agrees with Li Wei's approach. After all, APEX has reached its peak as an idol group, and if it goes on, it will go downhill.Don't look at Shi Liang's income, which is known as No. 1 in Smart Firms, but how many programs did he use to spell it out?On the contrary, Kuang Wei's life is easier than Shi Liang's, but his income is not much less.why?Because Kuang Wei has accumulated too much fame in the golden age of idol dramas, he is now only cashing out his past popularity through advertisements.However, both Shi Liang and Kuang Wei are facing an impending crisis, that is age.As he gets older, Shi Liang, who is in his 40s, will definitely not be able to accept shows as crazy as he was in his 30s, and the throat tumor problem is already a warning to Shi Liang's body.The same is true for Kuang Wei. With the age of his main audience, advertisers will think that Kuang Wei’s value is decreasing, so his subsequent advertising quotations must also be reduced.Therefore, Fan Zhi very much agrees with Li Wei's new positioning, turning these people from idols into actors and hosts.

APEX rested for one night in their respective rooms, and when they got up, a waiter had already delivered Puerto Rican specialties to their rooms early.They all live in sea view water rooms, the first floor goes deep into the sea from the shore, and there is a sea view bathtub where you can enjoy the sea view while soaking in the bath.The bedroom is on the second floor. On the one hand, it isolates the water vapor, and on the other hand, it can fully enjoy the warm sea breeze.The main meal earlier was European buns. Although the outside looks hard, but after tearing open, it is soft and full of original wheat fragrance; the European buns are served with soft-boiled eggs, Iberian ham, bacon, cheese and vegetable and fruit salad. In addition, there is a glass of local special juice.In short, it not only fills the stomach, but also makes people full of energy and joy immediately.

The Jewel Duchess will not approach Culebra until near noon.Since the pier on Culebra Island is not enough to dock this super-large cruise ship, small boats can only be used to pick up and drop off tourists boarding the ship one after another.After these few days of playing, both APEX and Tian Moriyi changed into local special clothes.Thanks to the bold colors used in national costumes, the five members of APEX have found clothes, trousers, hats and sandals in their respective representative colors, so it is a joy to match them together.But before boarding the ship, APEX and others also received a reminder.According to the rules, there will be a captain's banquet on the first day of boarding, and VIP customers like APEX who have purchased VIP tickets are the first to be invited to attend.Since it is a formal dinner, it is recommended that boys wear a suit with a tie, or a tuxedo.So while everyone was waiting at the pier, they went to the nearby boutique shopping street to buy a tuxedo for each of them.

Around noon, a small yacht drove over, and after confirming the identities of APEX and others, they were invited to board.During the period, there was a crew member in charge of reception, and Shen Wu asked: "You all use yachts to borrow guests? What a waste!"

The crew replied with a smile: "We only use yachts to pick up SVIP customers. Ordinary VIP customers just arrange slightly better ferry boats. As for ordinary users, they naturally use ferry boats. But this is only the case on Culebra Island." , If you board the ship from the main island of Puerto Rico, it will not be such a trouble. ——Okay, if everyone is seated, please fasten your seat belts. We will return to the Jewel Duchess soon. After boarding, you will The butler of the room you reserved will come to receive you."

APEX and others fastened their seat belts, so the yacht turned around, and then returned to the Jewel Duchess after going around Culebra Island for a week.After boarding the ship, a white man in a black suit claimed to be the steward of APEX. Although his Chinese was not very standard, he could still understand it.

Under his leadership, the five members of APEX took the VIP elevator directly to the Sunshine Garden Suite on the seventh floor.The Sunshine Garden Suite is the largest suite on the Jewel Duchess. It is composed of the Sunshine Suite and the Garden Suite. The Sunshine Suite has two bedrooms, and each bedroom is a single room; while the Garden Suite has two bedrooms, one large and one small. Bedrooms, the large bedroom is a double room and the small bedroom is a single room.The suite has an independent private balcony and private garden, and there is also a granite outdoor heated bath that can accommodate two or three people in the private garden.After drawing lots, Shi Liang and Lang Daoyuan went to live in the two single rooms in the Sunshine Suite; Kuang Wei won the single room in the Garden Suite; and the rest of Shen Wu and Cao Jiangang had to be assigned to live in the double room.

After everyone packed their luggage, they sat in the bar area of ​​the suite, eating fruit and chatting.While everyone was chatting, the butler sent everyone an invitation letter from the captain.Sure enough, the cruise ship launched the "Captain's Night" banquet on the first night of departure according to the custom.In fact, when sailing in the past, in order to keep the upper-class people from being bored and at the same time break the strange barriers between them, the captain usually held the first dinner.After that, everyone will hold their own dinners, either with friends or all the VIPs.The current captain's night is more about providing a social occasion for the VIP customers of the cruise ship, so as to broaden their respective contacts.At the same time, the invitation letter also noted the clothing requirements. Fortunately, APEX and others have already made preparations.

The dinner was held in the Ruby Restaurant on the cruise ship, and the captain was a passionate Latin American.If it weren't for the small space in the restaurant, he would invite almost all the ladies to dance a tango.Of course, the captain who had already received the reminder came over to say hello to APEX and others, and recommended to them interesting facilities on the cruise ship and some islands and entertainment activities that would be stopped during the trip.

"We have an ocean exploration activity on the second floor, where you board the ship. We will stop at several pristine islands, and you can use kayaks or sailboats to play in the nearby waters. Please rest assured that we have enough Our lifeguards are here to ensure your safety. And the Turtle Island you are going to explore is also one of the sea areas we will stop at. There are many legends about pirates there. I hope you can find your pirate treasures. Don’t worry! I won’t say out."

The captain blinked.Then he turned around and greeted other VIP customers.
