The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 45
At twelve noon on July 2000, 7, amidst a burst of laughter, the studio of "Funny Family" ended its morning shooting.

Li Shengyao was going to eat, when his assistant ran over and said that someone was looking for him, and the person was Chai Zhiping.

"Director Li, you haven't eaten yet. Let me treat you to dinner."

Since someone treats you, don't eat for nothing.

At this time, Chai Zhiping was almost 40 years old, thin and dark, without the demeanor of the godmother of the idol drama.

When "Meteor Garden" aired at the end of the year and became popular, Chai Zhiping made money, so he had money to maintain it.

Not long after, the two came to a nearby restaurant. Besides Chai Zhiping, there was also a young girl who had already been sitting there.

The girl is very beautiful, with long hair and shawl, no makeup, but excellent skin.

Her eyebrows and eyes are particularly outstanding, both charming and heroic.

She looks very similar to Ryoko Hirosue from the island country, she is the daughter of Xiongba, Jiang Zuping who killed Kong Ci in seconds.

Li Shengyao liked to watch "The Wind and Cloud" when he was in school in his previous life. He couldn't understand why Kong Ci would find an actress with a big mouth and big nostrils, and why no one liked Jiang Zuping who was so beautiful.

Chai Zhiping noticed that Li Shengyao's eyes lit up a little when he saw Jiang Zuping, and he felt proud.

There is no doubt that Jiang Zuping is very beautiful.

She is only 22 years old this year, and there are few dramas in Wanwan now. She plans to bring Jiang Zuping to the mainland to see if she can arrange acting.

Chai Zhiping then introduced.

Li Shengyao held Jiang Zuping's hand and said with a smile, "If Miss Jiang has no filming in Wanwan, you can come to the mainland to find me."

Jiang Zuping had a rough experience. Her family was poor and she was not well received by her parents. It is said that every time she asked for tuition fees, she would be scolded by her parents.

Later, after graduating from high school, she applied for an art school. Her family was unwilling to give money, so she went out to earn tuition by herself.

After graduating from art school, he started his acting career and has always been a supporting role.

No one praised it, and later it was reduced to acting in local dramas. The "Unforgettable" series has [-] episodes, and the "Goodbye A Lang" series has [-] episodes.

In 2015, the inner ear that was slapped by Guo Ziqian became unbalanced and could no longer exercise vigorously. Since then, he has faded out of the entertainment industry.

Guo Ziqian, a little old man, is always weird about the yin and yang in the mainland, and satirizes him every day in "The Big Stew Pot for All".

A flimsy apology passed after the incident.

Li Shengyao was disgusted when he saw this person.

Brother, Li Lianjie has so many action scenes, and he slaps people. I have never heard of slapping people with inner ear imbalance. One can imagine how much effort was used at that time.

He didn't have any other thoughts about what he said just now, he just wanted to save this poor girl.

Jiang Zuping heard the words, stood up and bowed, and said a little shyly, "Thank you, director."

Li Shengyao then sat down and ate as soon as the food was served. He had a good appetite and a thick skin, so he wasn't afraid of Jiang Zuping's or Chai Zhiping's jokes.

"Director Li, I see you this time because I want to discuss something with you."

"You said."

"I want to introduce the broadcasting rights of "Emotional Hotel" in the Wanwan area. I wonder how much you will bid?"

The Korean version of "Emotional Hotel" Past Life Wanwan hit the second highest ratings of the year.

Li Shengyao had long expected that someone would look for him in Wanwan, but he did not expect it to be Chai Zhiping.

"10 million RMB."

"So expensive?"

Chai Zhiping opened his mouth wide, looking surprised.

Seeing this, Li Shengyao smiled inwardly, "It's okay, Wanwan's economy is developed, and 10 yuan is sprinkled."

Wanwan and Daoguo are somewhat similar in film and television drama production.

The economy of the island country is stagnant. In 2000, the production cost of urban dramas was 100 million yuan per episode. Twenty years later, they are still 20 million yuan per episode.

And Wanwan is the production fee of 15 an episode, 20 years later, they are still 15 an episode.

At this time, the production cost of general curved dramas is higher than that in the mainland.

Korean dramas were sold to Wanwan for about [-] yuan per episode, and Wanwan was able to buy them at first.

Later, Wanwan couldn't afford it, so several TV stations bought it together. That's why "Funny Family" was broadcast on several stations at the same time.

Later, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Wu Mei Niang" all won the annual ratings champion of Wanwan, and several TV stations jointly bought them.

Why is the production cost of TV dramas so low even though the per capita per capita is higher and the economy is richer?

The main reason is that this place has a lot of money, and there are 2000 TV stations in a province with a population of [-] million, which is crazy.

Even excluding those miscellaneous premium channels, there are still nine important TV stations in Wanwan.

In contrast, there are only three national TV stations in the peninsula, and there are only seven large-scale TV stations in the island country.

With so many TV stations, the ratings are naturally scattered.

Without ratings, there is no sponsorship, and their production fee cannot be high.

Li Shengyao sells according to the standards of Korean dramas, there is no reason why he sells them cheaper than Korean dramas.

Although we are all compatriots, we are brothers who settle accounts clearly.

What's more, Chai Zhiping, this woman bought 12 episodes of "Goodbye A Lang" from Wanwan at a price of [-] episodes, and then CCTV bought [-] episodes, which became [-] episodes.

Where did so much water go in the middle? This is nearly 5000 million yuan.

The woman couldn't believe it.

Chai Zhiping pursed his lips, and said softly: "Director Li, can you have less, our economy is really struggling now, you give me less, and we can have more cooperation in the future."

Li Shengyao shook his head, "There is nothing less, just 100, we sold it to Gusu Satellite TV for [-], and your average per capita is ten times higher than that of Gusu, I didn't ask you for [-] million for an episode. "

Chai Zhiping rolled her eyes, and then she winked at Jiang Zuping.

Jiang Zuping opened her mouth, but no words came out.

She was a little afraid of Li Shengyao.

This young director is tall, handsome, and has a rating of seven. She thinks that Li Shengyao must be a tyrant on the set.

Chai Zhiping glared at Jiang Zuping, then said sweetly, "Director Li, it's cheaper, [-], how about [-]?"

"There is nothing less, just one hundred thousand."

"Nine thousand?"

"One hundred thousand."

Hearing this, Chai Zhiping pretended to be wronged and sighed, "All right, Director Li, you are a man of principle, but I appreciate a man like you."

She rolled her eyes, and then said: "Director Li, we have a drama called "Meteor Garden". The original is an island manga, and it will definitely become popular. Do you want to invest?"

"Meteor Garden" will indeed explode, but the Wanwan group is unreliable.

It is impossible for Li Shengyao to arrange a group of accountants to watch over him. Even if he invests, if someone makes fake accounts, he may not be able to recover the cost.

"I don't want to invest in "Meteor Garden", but if you are willing to transfer the management contract of the four leading actors of "Meteor Garden" to my company, then I will give you the right to broadcast "Love Hotel" in Wanwan."

After F4 became popular, they absolutely attracted money, and they toured all over Asia.

Chai Zhiping rolled his eyes, scolded the little fox secretly, and then said seriously: "Director Li, let's ask the lawyer to discuss the sale of the broadcasting rights of "Love Hotel" in Wanwan."

"Row."

An hour later, after confirmation by the lawyers of both parties, Li Shengyao sold the broadcast rights of "Love Hotel" in Wanwan area to Chai Zhiping for a total of 280 million.

In addition to his previous sales to Tyrande, Po Village, and Malay, excluding those who paid taxes, his total funds can be 100 million.

Set aside 300 million for the company to operate, and he still has 800 million.

If you have money, buy a courtyard house first.

Before leaving, he smiled at Jiang Zuping and said, "Don't forget what I said, you can come and find me when you have nothing to do in Wanwan."

Jiang Zuping quickly glanced at Li Shengyao, then turned away immediately, and nodded with a blushing face.

Chai Zhiping rolled his eyes to the Pacific Ocean, "Director Li, goodbye."

"See you."
