I am a leader in the entertainment industry

Chapter 146: Anger

CCTV, Deputy Director’s Office[

Yu Minsheng knocked on the door, went in, and saw Deputy Director Wang looking down at something, so he said,”Is Director Wang busy?”

Wang Xiyuan looked up and saw him:”Oh, Lao Yu is here, sit down, sit down! Wait a moment, I’ll finish reading this document. If you want to drink water, pour it yourself. There is tea next to it.”

Yu Minsheng nodded:”Hey, you go ahead and don’t worry about me, I’m not in a hurry.”

Wang Xiyuan then lowered his head to look at the documents again, while Yu Minsheng sat down on the sofa, thinking about how to explain this matter later.

After six or seven minutes, Wang Xiyuan finished reading the document and began to write. After he finished, he pressed the call button and called his secretary in. He handed the document to him and said,”Tell them that it is not up to standard and they need to rewrite it!”

The secretary carefully took the documents and left the office.

Wang Xiyuan was in the mood to look at Yu Minsheng. He didn’t stand up, but leaned on the back of the boss chair, playing with the pen in his hand, and said with a smile:”What’s the matter? You look so sad. Did one of the groups below cause trouble for you again?”

Yu Minsheng smiled and said,”That’s not the case.”

To be honest, Wang Xiyuan climbed to the position of deputy director at the age of 46, and he was directly in charge of the largest TV series. In the past few years, he has always been strong in the station. In recent years, several popular dramas have been launched under his command, including”The Lotus Lantern” and other big dramas. He is indeed capable of doing what others cannot do. Everyone in the station is in awe of him.

However, Yu Minsheng is a senior member of the station and a leading figure in the field of domestic TV dramas. Wang Xiyuan may be harsh to others, but he always respects Yu Minsheng.

Moreover, with Yu Minsheng’s years of experience, let alone Wang Xiyuan, a deputy director, if he really got into a fight, he wouldn’t even dare to give the director face, and no one would dare to do anything to him.

However, if one wants to be tough, he must first do the things in his hands toughly. But the problem is that the things he is doing now are obviously messed up.

After hesitating for a moment, he said,”I’m afraid the”Legend of the White Snake” thing is over.”

Wang Xiyuan was smiling at first, but he was stunned when he heard the words, and his brows furrowed immediately:”It’s over?”

Instantly, he sat up straight, frowning, looking puzzled, staring at Yu Minsheng:”How could it fail? He doesn’t want to revise it? Or does he think the money is too little?”

Yu Minsheng hesitated for a moment and said,”All”

Wang Xiyuan turned the pen in his hand twice, then put it on the table with a bang, stood up, walked a few steps behind the desk, and said,”Didn’t you explain it clearly to him? This is his first work.

Although he is a star himself, right? If he becomes a director, this play will have a certain appeal in itself, but he has just started after all.

This is just his first film.

For him, the most important thing is not to make money, but to prove himself!

The effect of getting it broadcast on CCTV and sending it to other stations is completely different.

It will have a great impact on his future career as a director and an investment career!

”

After a pause, he turned to look at Yu Minsheng and asked,”You didn’t tell him all this?”

Yu Minsheng smiled bitterly and said,”Wang Tai, you don’t know that Li Qi is the kind of person who doesn’t need you to say any more nonsense. He is very smart and experienced. He knows all the twists and turns here. I can tell you that when he first entrusted the film to me, he had already considered the conditions that our station might give and the pros and cons of sending it here.”

Wang Xiyuan’s eyes flickered when he heard this, but his expression quickly returned to calm. He sat down, picked up the pen on the table, slowly turned it twice, and then asked calmly:”So, since he is such a smart man, it means that he would rather give up such an opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop and want to make more money? Is this also called a smart man?”

After a pause, he smiled and said,”Besides, if it is broadcasted on other channels, even if it can sell second and third rounds, it may not necessarily make much more money, right? The first broadcast was not expensive, so how much can it sell in the second round?”

Yu Minsheng remained silent

After a pause, Wang Xiyuan smiled and said,”I know that you two are friends regardless of age. Then let’s be frank. Just tell me the truth. How much money does he want, or what conditions he has!”

Yu Minsheng opened his mouth, but hesitated for a moment before saying,”Now, I’m afraid it’s not a matter of how much money or what conditions are.”

Wang Xiyuan was stunned when he heard this, and then a fierce light flashed in his eyes! (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“You mean, there’s nothing to talk about?”

Yu Minsheng said:”That’s not necessarily true. However, when he came, he sat in my office for a while and spoke from the bottom of his heart. He said that he had spent a lot of effort on this play and didn’t want to sell it for such a low price.”

Wang Xiyuan was angry and snorted coldly, saying,”Cheap? Buying out a play for 30 million is still called cheap?”

Yu Minsheng raised his head and frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Wang Xiyuan’s tone, and couldn’t help but protest:”But he invested a total of 42 million in this play! Even if it is sold for 41 million, it will still lose money!”

Wang Xiyuan smiled when he heard this, not knowing whether he was happy or angry. He waved his hands and said,”Forty-two million? That’s just a lie! Nowadays, everyone exaggerates a little. They say it’s forty-two million, but in fact, I estimate it’s about twenty-five million, which is about right!”[]

Yu Minsheng also smiled when he heard this, but he said with absolute certainty:”He might brag a little to others, but I know what kind of person he is in the past year since we met. If he doesn’t say it, it’s fine. As long as he tells me in person, then he is definitely not lying.””

After a pause, he continued,”In addition, you have also seen the film.

To be honest, even if it is not up to the level of a movie, but let’s put aside the story and characters, and just look at the pictures and special effects, you can see that it really took a lot of effort!

It is said that he spent nearly 10 million just for the special effects of this play!

You can see how much he values ​​this play!

So, we are doing this, not laymen, and we can tell at a glance that just based on the level of the pictures and special effects, I think you should know in your heart that 42 million should not be a lie!

”

Wang Xiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, but soon he looked away, thought for a moment, and said,”He told you something from the bottom of his heart? Can you tell me what he said to you?”

Yu Minsheng smiled and said,”He said that before he came to talk to CCTV, he had already prepared himself to lose money. He also said that if the station could give him even 35 million at the beginning, he would rather lose 8 million and be willing to borrow our station’s help to start the fire. However, 30 million, and it must be a package buyout, without even talking about the replay rights, is something he really can’t accept.””

Wang Xiyuan heard this and turned the pen in his hand vigorously.

Yu Minsheng looked up at him, and seeing that he didn’t respond, he continued,”In addition, he insisted that those singing segments were the biggest feature of this TV series, and he couldn’t accept those segments being cut. So, as an artist, I understand this, and you should understand it too, right?”

Wang Xiyuan smiled and said,”I understand! I understand!” Then he stopped talking.

The secretary knocked on the door and came in:”Master, the meeting is almost over.”

Without waiting for her to finish, Wang Xiyuan waved his hand and said,”Tell them to postpone it for 20 minutes!”

His voice was a little loud and a little angry, which scared the secretary. Hearing this, he quickly agreed, closed the door, and left.
