Entertainment: I never eat free food

The next day, Duke Zhou's home.

Shen Lang handed two large bundles of thick A4 paper to Huang Bin, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Gong, Sun Li, Li Xiaoran, and the specially invited Zhang Guoli and Zheng Xiaolong.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace? Two?" Duke Zhou looked at Shen Lang in confusion.

Shen Lang sat down and picked up the apple on the table, wiped it and took a bite: "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace is for you. Didn't you say that you are too tired from filming the movie? I will give you the entire TV series to relax."

Duke Zhou rolled his eyes: "It's even more tiring to film a TV series. You are so considerate of me. I'm a movie buff, and you want me to film a TV series. What do you think?"

"Well, as long as you accept it, I will give you a salary of 10 million."

"How many???"

Everyone here was dumbfounded, 10 million? Are you kidding me?

Shen Lang raised his lips slightly: "This drama is estimated to take 70 to 80 episodes to complete, so 10 million is not much on average."

Zheng Xiaolong looked at the thick pile of Zhen Huan: "You probably have quite a few."

"It's about 70 and 80 episodes."

Zheng Xiaolong smiled bitterly: "Xiao Shen, you don't understand the TV drama industry. In the past few years, there were TV series with dozens or even hundreds of episodes, but for the audience, those TV series were... Like an old lady wearing footwear, the director of the General Administration has issued a limited series order of no more than 42 episodes, encouraging everyone to compress the plot and not make a long drama. Of course, it can be made into a series, but it must also be a series. We must adhere to one principle: each film must have a 녊-style ending and can be continued.”

"Director Zheng, I know. I invite you to come here today. I want you to take a look and see if you are interested in this play. As for the series, there is no need for this play, and there is no follow-up plot. There are many characters and it is very complicated. , I started writing this play when I was a freshman, and it took me three full years to complete it. You can take a look first.”

Zheng Xiaolong nodded and said nothing more, but he still refused in his heart. He came here today to see Zhang Guoli and Shen Lang, who are both from the Beijing circle.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, my little dragon is stuck in it.

The cigarettes were smoked one after another, and the whole room looked like a chimney.

But the others didn't care either, they were all fascinated by the story written by Shen Lang.

Time flies, 3 hours passed.

Zheng Xiaolong shook his stiff neck and felt a little hungry.

"Uh, Duke Zhou, do you have anything to eat at home? Let me get you some."

Zhou Gong also woke up from Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, it was so well written.

Then he looked at Shen Lang: "Shall we go out to eat?"

Shen Lang looked at Zheng Xiaolong: "Director Zheng, let's have something to eat first?"

Zheng Xiaolong looked at the script in his hand a little reluctantly. He was so excited that he felt like he was forgetting to eat and sleep.

"How about you go get something to eat and bring me some when you come back. I'll continue watching."

Shen Lang raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Then I'll go get takeout. You guys will watch next. I'll go and order the food. Do you want to eat chili?"

Zhang Guoli stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

"I'll go too." Huang Xiaoming also stood up.

San Jing went out.

Zhang Guoli looks like Shen Lang: "Little Lang'er, as long as Old Zheng accepts your role, you can make it happen. He never takes a job that he is not sure about. As long as you can get him to accept the role, all major domestic TV stations will sell it." His price will be much higher than that of ordinary directors, but I think he will take it."

Huang Xiaoming rubbed his hands and put his arms around Shen Lang's shoulders and said happily: "Lang'er, it's up to you. If we can attract Director Zheng in this drama, our company will become famous."

"Brother Xiao Ming, don't get too happy too soon, don't forget. We haven't got the money yet."

Huang Xiaoming said nonchalantly: "With Director Zheng here, and with your name, I also know a lot of investors. Money is not a thing. Good projects are never short of investment."

"Then have you ever thought about what the king will think after this drama becomes popular and the king knows about the three of us doing business together?"

"Uh..." This really stopped Huang Xiaoming from asking.

"Well, it seems to be nothing. My contract is almost expired. If it really succeeds, I will be my own boss, which is no better than the Chinese." Huang Xiaoming said nonchalantly.

Shen Lang raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "I'm afraid that you will be too involved and cannot get out. You have taken a lot of resources from the Chinese over the years, and the Chinese are not clean."

"Lang'er, you are overthinking. I never do anything illegal. Over the years, I have a bottom line because I know what is most important to an artist in this industry, reputation. You can't smash this thing. Once it is smashed, you won't be able to eat this bowl of rice."

"You haven't been involved in the Yin-Yang contract and other things?"

"Basically no, even if there is, I will pay the taxes later. If you don't do anything bad, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."

Shen Lang nodded: "Don't blame me for overthinking. Brother Xun is different from you. She is a stick, and she was hired into the company with a lot of money. She was ostracized like this, but you are pampered and favored by Chinese Americans."

Huang Xiaoming smiled: "Lang'er, are you guarding against me, or are you afraid that something will happen to me and will implicate you?"

Shen Lang rolled his eyes: "You're not talking nonsense. I'm still doing business with you just to prevent you. I'm afraid something will happen. It's okay if it doesn't come out now. Once it comes out, it will be a thunder. Why don't I do business with the Chinese?" That’s not why I signed a long-term contract.”

"Isn't it because you want to start a new business and be your own boss?"

"Well... there is also this reason. Of course, I am still afraid of getting stuck in it."

"By the way, since you have an outsider's heart, why does Wang Zhongjun still support you so much? I heard that you have 1.8 million internal shares, which is not worse than Feng Ku."

Huang Xiaoming raised his lips slightly: "Want to know?"

Shen Lang nodded: "I really don't understand."

"Then let me tell you, at the millennium, Sister Hua took the lead in bringing her "tough guy" Li Lianhua to join the Chinese American, followed by Tong Dawei, Su Jin, Fan Xiaopang, Ren Quan, Teacher Chen, Hu Jun and others also joined the Chinese American. Now it seems that these are all big names, but in fact, it was not like that at the time - the film company relies on the works!

Although there are many powerful people, they don't seem to be very "capable". But I am different. At that time, I was very popular with "The Beach" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes". No. And I have Brother Bin behind me. Another thing is that I didn't collect the signing fee when I signed the contract. I had a meal with President Wang and joined the company. "

Shen Lang gave a thumbs up: "Don't pay a fortune for a horse. You are asking for a talent. "

Huang Xiaoming raised his mouth slightly: "At the beginning, Huayi didn't have much cash flow. Director Chen cheated him badly. To be honest, if I wanted to sign my brother, I would be sorry for my reputation if I didn't take a few million signing fee. But I don't take a penny. "

"So Wang Zhongjun doesn't remember this favor?"

Huang Xiaoming nodded: "President Wang is still sentimental. I haven't made him embarrassed over the years, so he won't make things difficult for me. "

Shen Lang couldn't help but sigh. Huang Xiaoming is really high. Don't make money in the present. Huang Xiaoming accumulates veins and slowly reaps them later.

The 1.8 million internal shares given by Wang Zhongjun were compensation for Huang Xiaoming not receiving the signing fee. If you are kind enough, others will remember your kindness.
