Chapter 48 You Are Amazing
"Wang Zhiwen, why did you spit the gum on your business card?"

A sharp and excited cry sounded from the interview booth.

Jiang Liu turned around and saw a female reporter glaring at Wang Zhiwen angrily.

The person involved, Wang Zhiwen, threw the business card with chewing gum into the trash can without a care.

Jiang Liu's scalp was numb. This was too brave. He dared to do this to a reporter at the moment, but he was not allowed to write a short essay by the reporter afterwards?
"Wang Zhiwen, what is your prestige?"

"Nima coins, are you trying to be a big name?"

"Hey, he is a big shot. If he doesn't spit out gum, how can the reporters get news reports? Why don't they starve to death?"

"Yes, the big shot Wang was chosen by the audience. What does it have to do with us reporters?"

Wang Zhiwen's bunker operation attracted everyone's attention.

When the reporters at the scene learned the whole story, all kinds of taunts with guns and sticks poured in at Wang Zhiwen.

Spectators not far away also pushed forward to see what was going on.

Jiang Liu calmly left the interview stage and merged into the flow of people heading towards the venue.

Before leaving, he looked at Ji Nan who was belatedly looking at him and nodded, and then looked coldly at Zeng Ming, who had been paying attention to him from beginning to end.

Entering the noisy venue, Jiang Liu looked expectantly for a seat with the word "Jiang Liu" on it.

But in the end, he could only find a seat in the back row in embarrassment like many people in the industry.

"Jiang Liu?"

"Hey, Director Deng, are you okay?"

Not long after Jiang Liu sat down on the folding stool next to the aisle, he was recognized by Dunn who was passing by.

Dunn joked: "I'm already 60, just take it one day at a time."

"You are in high spirits." After complimenting the other party, Jiang Liu asked curiously: "Is Director Deng here to promote "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair"?"

""Sedan" was sold at the Shanghai Film Festival. I'm here to promote "The Long Story of Xu Wen." What about you? What are you doing now?"

"I co-produced a situational costume drama with Jin Province. I don't expect it to sell for a good price tomorrow."

Dunn lamented that Jiang Liu had great ambitions and did not go out to eat, drink, whore or gamble after making money.

He pointed at Jiang Liu and said with a smile: "Young boy, don't go to Anhui Province TV station and get into trouble tomorrow."

"I'm not stupid." Jiang Liu smiled.

"You are not stupid, and you are lucky. Wang Gang insisted on asking Taili to sue you. After several rounds of discussions, Taili felt that it would be embarrassing to win the lawsuit, and it would be even more embarrassing to lose, and the possibility of losing was extremely high, so he swallowed his anger. , holding my nose and putting you on the non-cooperation list."

"It turns out that there are so many things hidden in it. I really don't know if I'm hiding in the mountains rehearsing a play."

Jiang Liu suddenly realized.

It turned out that it was not Taiwan University in Anhui Province that was magnanimous, but that they secretly weighed the pros and cons and felt that they could not afford to lose this person, so he successfully passed the risk.

"You want to treat me to dinner. I said that the crew used 16mm film so quickly. It turns out that it is difficult to prevent domestic thieves."

"No problem, just set the time and I'll be there when you call."

After Jiang Liu nodded hastily in agreement, he asked, "Director Deng, how much did an episode of "Sedan" cost in Shanghai?"

"The Anhui Provincial TV station wanted to premiere it on a star. The second round of broadcasts was bought by two stations for 4 yuan an episode."

“The price is good.”

Jiang Liu was somewhat envious.

In 2000, the highest price that major TV stations across the country were willing to accept for a TV series was only RMB [-] to RMB [-] per episode.

At the Magic City TV Festival a few days ago, CCTV, which holds the rights to broadcast the mainland's first Jin Yong drama "Swordsman", sensationally announced a one-time price of US$50.

It is equivalent to about 10 yuan per episode.

The situation at that time was that all local TV drama purchasers thought CCTV was crazy, and one episode of the TV series was sold for a sky-high price of 10 yuan.

Therefore, with only 20 episodes of "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair," the second-run broadcast rights were able to sell 80 yuan on two local stations, which is very good.

If the market performance continues to be good, I can make a lot of money by selling seven or eight local stations.

After standing and chatting with Dunn for a while, a host came on stage and asked the guests to sit down and be quiet. The leader was about to speak.

Dunn didn't look for his seat and sat down next to Jiangliu.Jiang Liu has now established a film and television company, and Deng En also wants to work on it for a few more years, and maybe they will cooperate again.

Jiang Liu is also willing to have a good relationship with Dunn.

Dunn is an old director who was born before the founding of the People's Republic of China and has complicated personal connections.

The reputation has been good over the years, and the dramas produced have never been worried about selling. They are a good partner.

Just like that, the two of them glanced at the performance on the stage and the awards.

After chatting for a while, most of the award ceremony was passed by without even realizing it.

"Lu Yi is the favorite actor as voted by the audience at the [-]st Golden Eagle TV Festival!"

"clap clap"

Jiang Liu and Deng En clapped their hands along with the crowd, and after a few perfunctory claps, a large group of people in the audience stood up and shouted loudly: "Shady, shady, Golden Eagle Festival shady."

"They all seem to be reporters?" Dunn said with a surprised look on his face.

Jiang Liu had better eyesight. He stood up and saw Ji Nan in the crowd, and confirmed that it was a reporter. Hundreds of reporters jointly clamored that there was something shady.

Seeing the shouts of hundreds of reporters and such a shocking scene, Jiang Liu couldn't help but murmur to himself.

A new era is coming.

The prices of future film and television dramas will also depend on news hype.

When choosing between quality and traffic, TV stations will give priority to TV series with their own topics.

Film and television companies that value the quality of films and TV series, such as Yixin Film and Television, will struggle in the next two years.

Because even if the cost of dramas produced by such companies is higher than that of most TV dramas on the market, the prices may not be higher.

The whole market is in chaos.

"clap clap"

It wasn't applause, it was the host announcing that the ceremony was a success. After the ceremony ended, the lights in the venue were turned off, leaving only some green passages.

The lights in the already messy venue suddenly went out, and many people immediately started booing.

More people stood up and prepared to leave the venue. Jiang Liu grabbed Deng En and said, "Director Deng, don't leave now. It's dangerous. The lights can't be turned off all the time."

After Jiang Liu finished speaking, the lights in the venue came back on.

Jiang Liu stood up and looked at the front row and found that the leader had finished leaving. He called Dunn to walk to the safe exit together.

"It's a mess."

After leaving the venue, Dunn clutched his cotton-padded jacket tightly with a look of fear on his face.

He had experienced worse times in his life.

But he has been accustomed to comfort over the years, and suddenly something like this happened today, which reminded him of a bad scene.

Jiang Liuhun smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's not over yet. The news will be even more exciting tomorrow."

"Jiang Liu, you are Jiang Liu, you lied to me!"

Seeing Ji Nan being dragged all the way by the crowd, Jiang Liu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why don't you call the station right now? Why are you dragging me along?"

"What are you talking about on the phone?" Ji Nan asked curiously as she struggled to squeeze out of the crowd.

"Listen to me and call your boss immediately. Just tell me that at the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony, hundreds of reporters shouted shady stories in the audience, and the organizer was forced to turn off the lights."

Ji Nan hesitated and said, "It's not a good idea to call the editor-in-chief so late."

Jiang Liu shook his head and said, "If you hit me right away, the editor-in-chief will only be happy, and he won't be angry until it's too late."

After instructing the little girl Ji Nan, Jiang Liu helped Deng En and quietly walked into the crowd.

Ji Nan nervously pressed the editor's number.

Soon, she hung up the phone with excitement and excitement.

"Jiang Liu, you are so amazing. The editor-in-chief praised me greatly and said that I would receive a bonus of 2000 yuan when I return."

Ji Nan turned around with a face full of joy and realized that Jiang Liu was nowhere to be seen beside him.
