The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 71

At 2001 a.m. on February 2, 28, the sky in Yanjing area was clear, the spring breeze was blowing, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

The Landmark Tower is also filled with cheerful atmosphere.

Especially Fenghua Film and Television Company, there are young and beautiful women coming in and out from time to time these few days. They are all auditioning for the second female lead of "Winter Sonata". Several guys in the company are very excited.

The other companies in this building finally understand that the neighbors are the benefits of the entertainment company. Those beautiful girls are really greedy.

Many people want to know Lee Seung Yew, hoping to get some female resources.

Naturally, Li Shengyao rejected it.

In the reception room of Fenghua Film and Television Company, a special guest came today. This person is Chai Zhiping, Yeast of Wanwan idol drama.

Compared with the last time we met, she looked much better, and her clothes were much brighter.

Walking with a big stride, she looks like a strong woman.

"Meteor Garden" will be broadcast on April 4, and the production should have been completed by now. Anyone who is not a fool can see that this is a TV series that Wan Wan has never seen before, and it may become popular.

Logically speaking, Chai Zhiping should be very busy at this time, and Li Shengyao didn't understand what she was doing here.

Of course, the visitor was a guest, so he asked his assistant to bring tea and a fruit plate, and invite people to sit down.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, Li Shengyao congratulated Chai Zhiping on the completion of "Meteor Garden", and Chai Zhiping congratulated Li Shengyao's "Funny Family" on the mainland.

"Director Li, the "Love Hotel" that was introduced last time received a very good response in Wanwan. I wonder if Zhao Yang and Yan Danchen have time to go to Wanwan?"

"Not now, but in four months."

Chai Zhiping nodded, and then said: "I watched your new drama "Funny Family". Compared with the previous mainland sitcoms, this drama has no Yanjing accent or other local dialects, so it is easier to enter the Wanwan market , we intend to introduce."

She paused, and then said with some embarrassment: "However... 140 episodes are too big, and it is difficult for our TV station to spend so much money all at once."

Li Shengyao understood what Chai Zhiping meant, he was a little surprised that Wanwan came over first this time.

At this time, he didn't answer the conversation, he asked Chai Zhiping to speak.

"Director Li, can you pay in installments, and I will give you all the rights to broadcast within five years."

Five years?

Why not say ten years?
Li Shengyao pouted, shook his head and said, "No."

"Three years, I will give you all the expenses within three years."

Li Shengyao shook his head, "I'm not a bank here, I'm a small business, and I don't owe any credit."

Chai Zhiping scolded the little slicker secretly, she knew that a floor in Yanjing could sell for several million, she was very sure that Li Shengyao was richer than her now, and then said: "Director Li, take a long look, I have four reasons here, you Definitely benefit from it.”

Li Shengyao still didn't answer, just looked at Chai Zhiping quietly.

Seeing that Li Shengyao didn't answer, Chai Zhiping could only feel a little embarrassed and continued: "First, for our long-term cooperation, the quality of the TV series you filmed is very high-quality, very fashionable, and the pictures are beautiful. It is completely different from other mainland dramas. .”

"We will have more cooperation in the future, and we may buy more TV series from you."

Li Shengyao still did not speak.

"Second, artist resource sharing, Director Li, you are about to make a second romantic drama, don't you want a few Hong Kong and Taiwan artists?"

"I have such a relationship here, as long as you want, I can arrange it at any time."

At this time, artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan are very popular. It seems that by using artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan, this TV series will become more popular, more fashionable, and more people will watch it.

Many co-produced dramas will find a few artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan to play the leading roles, and those from the mainland will play supporting roles.

It's like the TV version of "Ghost Girl".

But in fact, from 01 to 10, among the top three TV dramas with the highest ratings in this decade, only three dramas starred Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.

These three dramas are "Love in the Rain", "Hong Kong Island Sisters", and "Legend of Bruce Lee".

"Deep Love and Rain" is not representative, it is Qiong Yao's work, and at this time, it can still catch a little bit of the tail of the peak.

"Sisters of Hong Kong Island" is a TV series broadcast by CCTV in 2007. If there is a mission, the ratings are naturally good, and it is also unrepresentative.

Not to mention "Legend of Bruce Lee", the audience was all for Bruce Lee, and Chen Guokun didn't get any big benefits.

In fact, these three dramas have nothing to do with Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.

Including many male gods born in the [-]s and [-]s - Zhang Weijian, he has acted in many dramas in the Mainland, often broadcast during summer vacation.

Looks very popular, Baidu, "Young Zhang Sanfeng" 17.00% point [-] ratings, and a closer look, it is only in the Shanghai area.

"Little Fish and Flowers" has a ratings of 15.00%. If you look closely, it's only in Guangdong Province.

Zhang Weijian is in the mainland, and there is no TV series with a national rating of more than three points.

If Lao Zhang is like this, let alone other people.

But somehow, the media at that time liked to publicize that Hong Kong and Taiwan actors would be popular, and TV dramas would be good.

Naturally, some people guide public opinion.

Li Shengyao has seen it thoroughly, he is very clear that in the mainland TV drama circle, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors have never been the ones who are responsible for the ratings.

In other words, the ratings that are carried are very limited.

He shook his head this time and said: "I don't care, I don't have any feelings for Hong Kong and Taiwan actors."

Chai Zhiping froze for a moment, this is different from the expected script.

"Third, we have a very good relationship with various media in Wanwan. If you cooperate with us, your TV dramas will be well received in Wanwan in the future."

Li Shengyao nodded, this is a bit helpful, but not very big.

It's tasteless to eat, but it's a pity to discard it.

Seeing this, Chai Zhiping became even more excited, "The fourth and most attractive one, you cooperate with us, and I promise to sell you the broadcasting rights of "Meteor Garden" in the Mainland."

""Meteor Garden" has already been produced, and it will definitely become popular. Director Li, you now have your own film and television company. You also have relationships with Gusu Satellite TV and Shanghai City Satellite TV. You will definitely make a fortune."

Li Shengyao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

This dead woman wants to kill him.

"Meteor Garden" failed the review and could not be played in the Mainland at all.

Li Shengyao took a sip of tea and calmed down, "You don't need to talk about it, just pay the money and deliver the goods, and pay within three days at the latest, otherwise there is no talk."

"But 400 million is too much..."

"Mr. Chai, you can organize several TV stations to buy together, and create a simulcast in the future."

This is how Wanwan bought the rights to broadcast "Funny Family" in his previous life.

"what!"

Chai Zhiping looked at Li Shengyao in shock, she didn't expect Li Shengyao to guess their plan.

This kid is really sharp.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's call the lawyer over and prepare to sign the contract."

After all, Chai Zhiping is a strong woman. Seeing that Li Shengyao would not accept his soft and hard ways, she stopped talking nonsense and signed the contract directly.

Last time "Love Hotel" was well received in Wanwan, which made her a fortune. This time, she had already prepared the money.

Two hours later, the two parties signed a contract, agreeing to sell the copyright of "Funny Family" to Chai Zhiping's Wanwan Fulong Film and Television Production Company, and payment should be made within three days.

When Chai Zhiping was about to leave, he rolled his eyes at Li Shengyao with some resentment, "Director Li, I think you have a big prejudice against us, and you always have a dismissive attitude towards Wanwan."

"Absolutely not, Mr. Chai. The most beautiful scenery in Wanwan is the people. I like the people of Baodao very much. But in terms of business, a company as big as mine can't lose money, can it?"

Hearing this, Chai Zhiping turned his head to look at Fenghua Film and Television Company of Nuoda, and couldn't help nodding with emotion, "It's unbelievable, it's only been a year."
