China Entertainment 2000.

Chapter 49
The next day.

Jiang Liu saw two reports in newspapers and Tomato TV.

30: More than [-] journalists jointly wrote a letter of apology to Wang Zhiwen.

Although the reporter who wrote the review does not have a single curse word in the entire text, it is full of sarcasm.

The article frequently uses words such as "big name" and "so cool" to ridicule and sarcastically refer to so-and-so after becoming famous.

The signature at the end of the self-reflection letter is also unique: a tribute from some media and entertainment reporters who think too highly of themselves.

As for how reporters should deal with Wang Zhiwen, it is not stated clearly in the self-review.

But the author of the article in the newspaper hinted at journalistic censorship.

It probably means that starting from today, most reporters across the country will no longer report all news and developments related to Wang Moumou.

Seeing this, Jiang Liu couldn't help but sweat for himself.

In 2000, the reporter media was still the main mouthpiece for news reporting and was the uncrowned king.

So many reporters are excited and demanding that an actor be banned, which means that an actor is isolated from the outside world.

TV stations and film companies will not be willing to work with actors who have been banned.

The second report is about the shady story of the Golden Eagle Awards.

Jiang Liu browsed it briefly and realized that the original secret was that Lu Yi revealed that he had won the award a week in advance.

We have even booked a hotel and prepared for a celebration banquet.

However, the organizers of the Golden Eagle Awards are still writing that the awards are fair and just, and will be voted on on 168 Voices that night.

At the end of this article, hundreds of journalists signed an open letter to the Television Association.

The open letter lists seven major violations of the Golden Eagle Award, with harsh words rarely seen in future generations.

Throwing down the newspaper, Jiang Liu shouted: "Awesome, China's first generation of entertainment journalists are formidable."

But turning around, he packed up his mood and left the hotel.

The 23rd is the last day of the Golden Eagle Film and Television Festival, and it is also Jiang Liulai's real purpose, which is to promote "Wulin Gaiden" to the purchasers of major TV stations.

Golden Eagle Film and Television City was no longer open to the audience, and most of the reporters who made a fuss were turned away, so the sales meeting was much cleaner.

Compared with later TV series trade fairs, the first Golden Eagle Film and Television Festival TV series trade fair did not have gorgeous venues, beautiful booths, and gorgeous lights.

And a pretty female salesperson.

But the diversity of themes is far from comparable to that of later generations.

Jiang Liu just walked around briefly and saw horror movies, mythological movies, etc.

There was even a booth saying that their drama was a fantasy drama.

In terms of the number of drama series, the three major domestic TV drama production centers, Peking TV Drama Production Center, Magic City Production Center, and Guangdong TV Drama Production Center, have displayed more than 100 dramas, with more than 1200 episodes.

"Come here?"

While walking around the trade fair, he was bumped into by his partner, Director Yao. Jiang Liu said sheepishly, "I'm still looking for a booth in Jin Province."

"The booth is in front. There are people watching over there, but they don't know much about "Wulin Gaiden"."

"I'll go over there, please do me a favor, Director Yao."

After a few steps to the booth of the Jin Provincial Film and Television Drama Production Center, Jiang Liu saw the poster of "Wulin Gaiden" at a glance.

The relatively fresh and comic-like poster of "Wulin Gaiden" is really conspicuous among several period drama posters.

"Someone asked?" Jiang Liu asked the salesman from the Jin Provincial Film and Television Drama Production Center who was sitting on a stool and holding his cell phone.

"No, few buyers come to look at the display cabinets in our booth."

Jiang Liu smiled and said, "Is it all digested internally?"

War dramas and period dramas produced in Jin Province have always been poorly received by the market.

Often the provincial TV station will show it first, and then pass it on to the younger brothers below who cannot afford to buy the series. The younger brothers then pass it on to the county level, which is basically self-produced and sold.Just make peace with what you've come to, Jiang Liu took a chair and sat down behind the booth.

Just when his eyes were narrowed and he was feeling sleepy, someone finally stopped in front of the Jin Province booth.

"Hello." Jiang Liu cheered up and stood up to greet him.

"Little brother, this "Wulin Gaiden" is a sitcom and costume comedy? It's rare."

Jiang Liu had a question mark on his head. Should he call him little brother on this occasion?

Is this the compiler's style?
Jiang Liu did not reveal his doubts, nodded and explained: "It is indeed a sitcom. It is the third domestic sitcom after "I Love My Family" and "The Story of the Editorial Department", and it is a costume drama."

"It's interesting. Do you know the general plot of this TV series? Can you talk to me? By the way, this is my business card."

Jiang Liu took the business card and looked at it, Jia Xiaozhi, a staff member of China TV Station.

"Huaxia TV was established not long ago. Maybe you haven't heard of it." Jia Xiaozhi saw Jiang Liu frowning and couldn't help but explain with a smile.

Jiang Liu knew about Huaxia TV, but he didn't know much about it.

But he doesn't need to worry about other people's identities when selling dramas, and the right answer is to try his best to facilitate transactions.

Jiang Liu walked out of the booth, made an invitation gesture and said, "Please come in. Nothing happens. Let's sit down and talk."

"Actually, "Wulin Gaiden" is like the old and American version of "Friends."

Jia Xiaozhi was shocked as soon as Jiang Liu opened his mouth.

He didn't expect that anyone in China would know "Friends", a sitcom that was released in 94 and became a hit in the United States.

From "Friends" to "Wulin Gaiden", Jiang Liu and Jia Xiaozhi communicated with each other for four to 10 minutes.

During the conversation, Jiang Liu had a certain understanding of Huaxia TV.

Huaxia TV was just established in Los Angeles last year. Its target audience is Chinese people in the United States and international students.

China Television also invests in the production of drama series.

But most of the time, the overseas broadcast rights of TV series that have been tested in the domestic market are purchased.

Among them, ancient costume martial arts dramas take the lead.

Because Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became popular in North America, foreigners' attention to Chinese Kung Fu has further increased.

"So, if Yixin can adapt Jin Yong's novel into a TV series, China Television will follow up with overseas broadcast rights." Jiang Liu tentatively asked Jia Xiaozhi.

"That's true, but the quality of the series must also be excellent."

Jiang Liu nodded with understanding: "Without mentioning this in advance, is Mr. Jia interested in "Wulin Gaiden"?"

"If I wasn't interested, I wouldn't have talked for so long."

Jia Xiaozhi smiled and said, "Why don't you try to make a quote?"

Jiangliu Shishi opened his mouth and said: "5000 US dollars per episode."

"Mr. Jiang is joking. We have been chatting for so long and we seem to be very compatible. I will give you a honest price, 2000 US dollars per episode."

“按汇率1:8算，16000元一集，76集121万6千元。”

Calculating the specific amount silently, Jiang Liu no longer hesitated, stretched out his hand and said: "Happy cooperation, and I wish "Wulin Gaiden" a great viewership in North America."

"The ratings of Changhong are a bit fake, but it is true that it is very novel."

Jia Xiaozhi smiled and said to Jiang Liu, "It's time for Mr. Jiang to give me a business card. I'll go and talk in detail later."

"Hi, I haven't gotten into the habit of handing people business cards yet."

Jiang Liu dug into his trouser pocket, pulled out a business card from a stack and handed it to Jia Xiaozhi, and said humbly: "Mr. Jia, please reveal more about the outside trend to Yixin, the partner in the future."

"It's right to make costumed martial arts dramas in recent years. The quality must be excellent."

Regarding Jiang Liu and Yixin, the temporary incubation base for TV dramas, Jia Xiaozhi spoke without hesitation.
