Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 970 Passed
After Director Yang left Jiang Yan, she went straight to her superior's office after returning to the unit. Since she was in a hurry, she didn't even knock on the door this time.

Director Zhang of the Sijiucheng Film Studio, who was sitting inside, was stunned when he saw Director Yang coming in, and then dodged like a mouse seeing a cat. It was not that he was afraid of Director Yang, but the problem was that Director Yang had been coming to him frequently for filming funds recently, and he also had difficulties. The funds approved each year were limited, and he had more than just one project, and he needed money everywhere. If selling people was not illegal, he would like to sell his own 100 pounds to see how much he could be worth.

"Director Yang, we only have this much funding. The three million I approved for you is the most I can use. If you really have no money, you can't ask me again."

Hearing his leader's words, Director Yang rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm not asking you for money today."

Hearing that they were not asking him for money, Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, what difficulties are you facing?" Zhang Heng picked up a cup of tea and walked up to Director Yang and spoke.

"It's like this. Through my husband's connections, I got in touch with a big entrepreneur. I went to meet him this time. We've basically reached an agreement, and he's willing to invest in us."

"Isn't this a good thing? We should promote this enthusiastic enterprise later." Director Zhang said.

But he was thinking in his heart, who was he to blame for this? But as long as he didn't have to pay for it himself, it would be fine.

"They can invest, but they have put forward two conditions. If you agree, they will invest in us." Director Yang continued.

"What conditions."

Next, Director Yang told Zhang Heng about Jiang Yan’s conditions.

After listening to Director Yang's words, Zhang Heng pondered for a moment. To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to the copyright issue at all. Nowadays, the country would assign tasks to some domestic film companies. These film producers would shoot some movies according to the country's policy guidance. These movies would be copied and then distributed to various cinemas and TV stations. There was no such thing as copyright fees. However, when he went out for inspection, he also knew that foreign companies attached great importance to this area.

As for advertising, that shouldn't be a problem. The television advertising industry is just emerging, and their TV station has followed the trend and set up an advertising department. However, it has been running for nearly half a year, and they haven't even signed a deal for this one advertisement.

"We need to hold a meeting for this. After all, I can't make the decision on my own." Leader Zhang thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Then let's hold the meeting as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they change their minds, it will be a waste of time and effort." Director Yang urged.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." After saying this, Leader Zhang made a phone call and asked his secretary to notify the participants to go to the conference room for the meeting.

"No, Director Yang, which wealthy company did you find?" After hanging up the phone, Leader Zhang asked curiously.

"It's Jiang Yan, CEO of the Rock Group, also known as BMW."

"It's him! No wonder."

Has Leader Zhang dealt with Jiang Yan before? Not really, but he knows this person. He used to be a scientific researcher, but after the reform and opening up, he went straight into business and built the country's largest private company. It is said that he has received special care from the top. The most outstanding thing is the twin towers named Xinghui Building that were just completed. This is currently the tallest building in the entire city. They also sent reporters to follow up and report on it several times, so he is quite familiar with their company. There are not many people in the conference room, basically all the heads of various departments.

In the conference room, Director Yang once again stated Jiang Yan's conditions. After hearing Jiang Yan's conditions, the people below were talking about it.

"I think this is feasible. After all, we have reform and opening up now, and the funds allocated by the state are getting less and less. Wasn't there a document before that allowed us to develop on our own? So why not take this as a pilot project?" said the leader of a department.

"I feel the same way. However, we have invested three million in the early stage. No matter how this part is calculated, we should at least have a part of the copyright." The leader of the distribution department said.

"Yes, we need to take this funding issue seriously. We can't spend money in vain."

The meeting didn't last long, only an hour. In the end, after everyone's decision, they basically agreed with Jiang Yan's opinion. However, the difficulty of the Xian Ziang issue was the initial investment of three million yuan, as well as the issue of shooting time, so they decided to lead the team led by Deputy Director Liu to talk to Jiang Yan again.

So, after coming out of the conference room, Director Yang called Jiang Yan directly and made an appointment to meet with Jiang Yan in the afternoon to discuss investing in the TV series.

At 1 pm, Jiang Yan took his secretary to greet Deputy Director Liu and his group. After waiting for about ten minutes, he saw a BMW Series car driving towards him.

"Welcome, welcome, welcome Director Liu." Two people got off the car, one was Director Yang, and the other was Director Liu. So Jiang Yan greeted them warmly.

"I'm really flattered that you're bothering Mr. Jiang to come down and meet us in person." Liu Taishang said while holding Jiang Yan's hand.

Everyone was not stupid. After the meeting, they went to their superiors to confirm Jiang Yan's matter. It would not do if his identity was problematic. It would cause controversy for the country, and if he turned out to be an enemy spy, it would be a big deal.

The superior leader must have said it was Jiang Yan, and warned them to be polite to Jiang Yan, and then said very vaguely that Jiang Yan was the person favored by the superiors, and also pointed out that Jiang Yan also had the identity of a consultant to the National Development and Reform Commission, so Director Liu had such a humble attitude when he came today.

You know, the Sijiucheng Film Studio is one of the production bases of feature films in my country, referred to as "Beijing Film Studio". Whether it is this era or the era when Jiang Yan arrived, it has a considerable influence in the field of television and movies. According to the level, this is a full-department-level unit, and the deputy director is also a deputy-department-level leader. If he didn't know Jiang Yan's identity, he would at most be the leader of a department.

"I have long admired our literary and artistic workers. To be honest, I have watched quite a few of our movies. I have to say, you never get tired of watching our movies." After arriving in the conference room, Jiang Yan spoke first.

不过姜言这样说也没有错。四九城电影厂1949-1985年，共拍摄故事片180部、舞台艺术片58部、新闻纪录片17部，共计255部。

In addition, it has translated 10 foreign films and assisted its brother film studios in shooting and processing many films. These films have had a certain influence at home and abroad and are loved by the audience. Since the 80s, it has also cooperated with international film studios and companies to shoot the feature film "An Unfinished Game of Chess" and the D feature film "The Thirteenth Sister", and assisted in the shooting of "Marco Polo" and "The Last Emperor".

The movie that Jiang Yan remembers most is naturally "Little Soldier Zhang Ga". When Jiang Yan was a child, he was fascinated by this movie. After traveling back in time, when he heard that the movie was released that year, Jiang Yan went to watch it specially as a reminiscence of his childhood.
