Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 971, Negotiation

There were not many people in Jiang Yan's meeting room. Including the secretary brought by Deputy Director Liu, there were only four of them.

After a while of greetings, Jiang Yan and the others were allowed to get down to business.

"Mr. Jiang, this is the case. In principle, we agree to your company's conditions. Now there is a difficulty. We have already invested three million in the filming budget in the early stage. We need to convert this part of the money into copyright." Deputy Director Liu spoke first.

"That's no problem. We can share the cost according to the proportion of investment." Jiang Yan nodded readily. What he cared about most was the advertising time, and the copyright issue of the TV series was just a side issue.

"In addition, according to your request, we have paid for the subsequent expenses of completing the entire filming." Director Yang handed Jiang Yan a document after he finished speaking.

Jiang Yan picked it up and took a look. The plan was quite detailed, including the actors' wages and props costs. However, the total price was only over 7 million. Compared with the cost of thousands or even hundreds of millions in later generations, it was really a world of difference.

"The salary standard for the actors will be implemented according to your portion. As for the participating actors and directors, I will give them a portion of the subsidy according to the standard for ordinary workers in our company. The same goes for daily food allowance. I will arrange for our company's accountant to calculate the specific expenses."

After hearing the news, Director Yang was overjoyed. If the performance fee had not been too low, some of the actors would not have left before.

"Also, three vans will be in place soon, and two more cars will be arranged for normal use. These five cars will be donated to your company after the filming is completed. In addition, we have sent people to Hong Kong to purchase new and most advanced cameras. They are expected to be back in a few days and will also be donated to your company after the filming is completed," Jiang Yan continued.

"When Director Liu heard that Jiang Yan sponsored five cars and two state-of-the-art cameras, he was naturally overjoyed."

"I don't understand the details of the filming of the TV series, so Director Yang will be in charge of the specific person in charge. I will send an accountant and some staff to come in. Of course, he will not affect our progress, and he may even be of some help to us."

Jiang Yan was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable, so he explained in detail the purpose of sending the accountant over. After listening to Jiang Yan's explanation, the two of them were quite understanding.

As for the issues they were worried about, Jiang Yan had already mentioned them before they were even raised, so the entire negotiation process was quite smooth.

"Director Liu, since we have already started filming "Journey to the West", we have no plans to film the other films." Jiang Yan asked casually.

This is also a coincidence. Director Liu really knows about this matter. There is no news about the other two films yet, but "Dream of Red Mansions" has been included in the schedule, and it is estimated that the selection of actors will start soon.

"There is a plan, but the details have not been finalized yet. Mr. Jiang has some ideas," said Director Liu.

"It's still the same condition as before. As long as you give me part or all of the copyright, if your company wants to film other masterpieces, I can continue to invest." Jiang Yan's next move was a bombshell. His goal was to take control of the four great masterpieces of later generations.

"I also have a small cinema here. We can cooperate and show our films here. Of course, I will also make up part of the cost for our factory." Jiang Yan continued. "That's easy, easy, as long as your company needs it." Director Liu said.

There is no way. The country is now very strict with film censorship. The number of films that can be screened is limited, and many films are in the hands of these film factories, so Jiang Yan took this opportunity to bring it up.

After the deal was done, Jiang Yan entertained two people at "Food is Heaven" in the evening, and both the host and the guests had a great time.

At the end of February, it is the Rain Water solar term. He Yushui was born during the Rain Water solar term, but the solar term has changed, but his birthday has not.

On Yushui's birthday, Jiang Zihan authorized Jiang Yan's company to officially launch the Pentium series of off-road vehicles. The new BMW 3 series was also launched. Yushui's car was old, so Jiang Yan gave her a new BMW 3 series, which made Yushui, who was almost 40 years old, jump with joy. She would drive her own car every day when she went out, and she even wanted to move in!

After revealing their identities, two months later, Jiang Zihan and Deng Zirui's feelings deepened, and they finally decided to get engaged on May 1. For their engagement, Deng Zirui's brother also rushed to Sijiu City.

Deng Zirui's eldest brother was a middle-aged man of about 40 years old, tough, capable, and strong. This was Jiang Yan's first impression of him. Teacher Deng and his wife were gone, and the eldest brother was the father, so he was in charge, just like when she married Yu Shui.

The matter of the eldest son has finally been settled. Now Jiang Yan's headache is his precious eldest daughter Jiang Yiyi. This person is the apple of everyone's eye, but until now there is no sign of her falling in love. This makes Jiang Sirui very worried. She often introduces young talents that she likes to him, but this girl never appears and just hides in the school.

Yichen and Yixi were supposed to graduate this year. They were like those innocent yet somewhat foolish college students in later generations. Just when they didn't know what to do, the principal came. So the little girl went to graduate school again in ignorance, preparing to become a glorious teacher in the future.

In Jiang Yan's impression, the daughters in the family are favored. As for his own sons, as long as they can be raised up, it's enough. As for his two precious daughters, Jiang Yan has told them since they were young that they don't need to work so hard, and he can support them. Her brothers are already very generous and will be able to take care of them in the future. He just hopes that they are happy.

But the people around him were too eager. The eldest brother was not to be mentioned. The eldest sister was also quite good at studying and could be considered as one of the first batch of graduate students. His younger brother was only 19 years old. Although he was not very good at studying, he trained hard in winter and summer. He had good martial arts and was recruited into the army at the age of 17. Now he is also an officer. In addition, their favorite aunt Yushui also graduated from a technical secondary school.

Since everyone in the family is so eager to study, the two little girls just followed suit. If you ask them about their dreams, they will probably tell you that they have no dreams. Not only do they have no dreams, but the major was chosen by Jiang Yan himself. Anyway, the road has been paved at home, and he just needs to proceed step by step.

The last time Xu Damao went to discuss business, he was nearly kidnapped, so now Xu Damao is very careful about his life. Xu Damao followed Jiang Yan's advice and found two retired veterans as bodyguards. The bodyguards drove a black Mercedes-Benz, and he sat in the back seat, wearing a big gold chain and a big gold Rolex, looking like a nouveau riche.

Jiang Yan had also said this to him a few times, but he just liked it this way. If he wasn't so ostentatious, no one would have set their sights on him.

However, Jiang Yan's more evil taste was that he suggested to Xu Damao that the bodyguards should wear black shirts, black trousers, black leather shoes, black belts, and black sunglasses, which was exactly the style of later generations.
