Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 619 TVB's Invitation

The middle-aged man seems to be planning to persuade the young man to buy some treasury bonds, but unfortunately the young man is determined, and the middle-aged man will not listen to whatever he says.

The middle-aged man could only sigh and turn his gaze out of the window.

He Ping found it interesting to look at the two. The young people's reaction to treasury bills can represent the views of most ordinary people in this era, while the middle-aged people represent a small group of people who have vision or are under pressure from their work units.

Countless rebirths in the later generations re-opened the early novels, and one thing the hero must do is to resell treasury bonds.

If He Ping remembers correctly, the country began to issue treasury bonds in 1981. For a long period of time, treasury bills were very unpopular due to their lack of liquidity.The Government Council has set up a treasury bond promotion committee for this purpose, but even so, selling treasury bills is still one of the most troublesome things for many government agencies and state-owned enterprises every year.

Due to the poor circulation of treasury bills and the low desire of ordinary people to buy them, many local governments have to force distribution.In this way, the underground trading of treasury bills naturally appeared. Some people bought treasury bills at a low price of [-]% or [-]% off, and some companies used treasury bills to reduce prices in disguise to sell backlog products.

Due to the different purchase prices in various places, a profitable "black market" has formed, and this trend has intensified over the past few years.By March of this year, the Ministry of Finance had to issue a document called "Pilot Implementation Plan for Opening the Treasury Bill Transfer Market", allowing treasury bills to be listed and traded.Not long after, in April, 3 cities including Shanghai, Nanshan, and Wuhan took the lead in pilot opening.

He Ping was able to learn this information from newspapers, and he believed that many interested people would also pay attention to this information.

In the next period of time, there will definitely be many smart people who will discover this business opportunity.

If He Ping had traveled to 88, he would have taken the risk to do this.As the middle-aged man said just now, apart from the risk of speculation, reselling treasury bonds can really be said to be a very profitable business.

It's a pity that He Ping has been in this era for nearly 10 years, and the capital in his hands has already exceeded the range that treasury bills can carry.

It was already the end of April when he returned to Ping County, and just as He Ping returned home, he suddenly received a call from Liang Yuejin.

"You called me just after I came back from the capital, what can't you say in the capital?"

Liang Yuejin's voice on the phone was extremely excited, "Brother, someone wants to adapt "Heroes"."

"Adapt it, just adapt it, why are you so excited, but this book is not finished yet."

"It's Xiangjiang TVB, TVB!"

He Ping was a little surprised. He didn't expect that TVB would be the one to choose "Heroes", "TVB is TVB. Anyway, you are also a general manager. Can you calm down?"

"Brother, "Shanghai Beach" and "Legend of the Condor Heroes"! Can I not be excited!"

"Look at your prospects, what are their conditions?"

"What conditions haven't been discussed yet, they contacted us through Xiangjiang Global."

He Ping vaguely remembers that the trend of co-produced TV series between mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan should have started in the 90s, and now it is 88, a few years earlier than later generations. This must be the change caused by his little butterfly.

Over the past few years, Xiangjiang TVB TV series have been introduced to the mainland one after another, and the few TV series that were aired were all instant hits and all the rage.

In this day and age, Xiangjiang's film and television industry is definitely at the level of a few streets in China. He Ping feels that if TVB's adaptation of "Heroes" becomes an opportunity for cooperation between the two parties, it will be more beneficial to him.

"Tell them that it's okay to adapt, but you have to promise us a few conditions."

"What conditions?"

"First, we need half of the investment in this TV series, and the proceeds are divided according to the investment ratio. Second, the filming of the TV series must be in the mainland, and Kanto Film and Television City is the priority. Third, half of the leading actors must be from the mainland. These three conditions must be met. , you can promise them.”

Liang Yuejin took He Ping's three conditions and turned to TVB's people.

In the 80s, Xiangjiang was the hottest time for adapting Jin Yong's martial arts dramas. Xiangjiang TVB actually had a lot of choices in adapting martial arts novels.

However, in the past two years, a martial arts novel called "Heroes" has suddenly appeared in the book market in Xiangjiang. It has attracted countless fans of martial arts novels with its grand narrative. Since Jin Yong closed his pen, the ceiling of the Hong Kong martial arts novel market has continued to hit new heights.

Many fans of the "Heroes" novel have called TVB, hoping that they can adapt this novel into a TV series.

When there were enough calls from the audience, TVB could not ignore this kind of public opinion, and the proposal to film this novel was quickly put on the table of the production department.

In a TV station like TVB, the filming of a TV series is done in-house, and the screenwriter and producer of the production department hold the most power.

"Heroes" was noticed by the high-level executives because of enough calls from the audience, and then the proposal was fed back to the production department, and then the production department discussed the feasibility of project approval and shooting, then script creation and shooting, and finally produced and released.

The producer in charge of the case of "Heroes" is Xiao Sheng, one of TVB's gold medal producers. His representative works are "Dragon and Babu" (Felix Wong version), "The Legend of Condor Heroes" (Andy Lau version), "Lu Xiaofeng: Phoenix Dance in Nine Heavens".

When he learned of the three requirements put forward by the copyright owner of "Heroes", he said jokingly: "Does anyone in mainland China know how to make martial arts dramas? The investment is fine, and I want to get involved in the casting. I really don't know how to do it! "

In this era, many Xiangjiang people have a sense of superiority towards going to the mainland, especially after the reform and opening up of the mainland in the past few years, they have seen a huge gap between the mainland and Xiangjiang’s economy. Some Xiangjiang people talk about the mainland with extremely contemptuous tone. There are a lot of reasons that are caused by historical factors.

Although he scoffed at Xiangjiang Universal's request in his heart, the adaptation of "Aspirations of Heroes" was decided by the upper echelon after all. Xiao Sheng cursed a few words and directly dumped the case to his apprentice Wei Jiahui.

Wei Jiahui is 27 years old this year. He only joined TVB in 81. He was promoted to creative director last year under the support of his master Xiao Sheng.

"Hui Zai, I leave this case to you."

"Master, the mainland, I have never touched it before, so I can't do it."

"Pujie, I eat so much when I usually eat, and I shrink back when things get difficult."

"No, master, I just took over, so I can't do this kind of case."

"Bad boy! You have to do it if you don't do it. Do you think there are many opportunities like this? Your master and I don't like this drama, but it doesn't mean that you can also don't like it. You have also read the novel "Heroes" , if you want to shoot it, it will definitely not be a small production. You have been in the group for several years, and you have just been promoted. This drama is a good opportunity for you to make a fortune, don't miss it!"

Xiao Sheng scolded and persuaded, and finally left this tricky case to his apprentice Wei Jiahui.
