Chapter 460 Shengshi Film and Television Company

The next morning, Zhao Hongjun arrived at Yanjing TV Station on time and met with the deputy director of the TV station named Zhang. The two parties signed a contract in the spirit of friendly cooperation.

Party A, Shengshi Film and Television Company, as the producer, invested 1 million to 1.2 million yuan to shoot the TV series "Desire" (since Shengshi Film and Television Company has not yet been established, Shengshi Book Publishing Company will bear all rights and obligations (the same below)< br>
Party B's Yanjing TV Drama Art Center, as the producer, is responsible for the entire filming and production process, and will provide relevant production reports and financial statements according to Party A's requirements and communicate with Party A in a timely manner

Yanjing TV Station. Will serve as a third party to purchase the TV series at a price of 12,000 yuan per episode

The copyright of the TV series belongs to Party A.

The contract is very long and detailed.

One of them is quite special: the candidates for the crew director and main actors are determined by parties A and B through mutual consultation.

Zheng Xiaolong originally thought that this article was purely for fun. Shengshi Books was just selling books. Who in the company knew anything about making TV?

Isn’t it the Yanjing TV Drama Art Center that has the final say on the director and the main actors?

But what he never expected was that before the two parties formally signed the contract, Zhao Hongjun took the initiative to discuss the candidates for the director's main actors.

Really coming to play?

Zheng Xiaolong looked at Zhao Hongjun with a surprised look on his face.

Zhao Hongjun didn't say much. He took out a piece of paper from his briefcase and handed it to the other party: "This is the director and main actor candidates proposed by our company. Take a look."

Zheng Xiaolong took it and took a look.

Director: Lu Xiaowei or Zhao Baogang.

Ouch.

I thought of it together.

Both of these two are excellent directors from Yanjing TV Station. After Zheng Xiaolong received the script, he thought that they must be the two of them.

Song Dacheng is played by: Li Xuejian?

"Li Xuejian is an excellent actor. He has made many movies and plays. In 1985, he starred in "Steel File General" and won the "Government Award" for Outstanding Film. This shows that his acting skills are very good."

Zhao Hongjun was holding a tea cup and talking with his legs crossed.

Zheng Xiaolong nodded after hearing this.

Of course he knows the actor Li Xuejian. Of course, whether the other party is willing to star is another matter.

"Who is Zhang Kaili?" Zheng Xiaolong asked, pointing to the actor who played Liu Huifang.

"She has acted in "Eight Girls Cast into the River", have you heard of it?" Zhao Hongjun replied.

""Eight Women Cast into the River"?"

Zheng Xiaolong has heard of this movie, but has never seen it, so he asked, "Have you ever acted in this one?"

"It seems to be"

Holy shit!

A perfect newcomer.

"Who is Sun Song? What film and television dramas has he acted in?" Zheng Xiaolong pointed at the actor who played Wang Husheng and asked.

Zhao Hongjun scratched the back of his head habitually with his hands, his expression a little embarrassed.

"It seems that he hasn't played any roles yet. He graduated from Beijing Film Academy and now seems to be working at Yanjing Film Studio."

Zheng Xiaolong was speechless after hearing this.

After a while, he spoke: "Mr. Zhao, tell me the truth, are these Zhang Kaili and Sun Song your friends or relatives?"

"No, I have never even met them." Zhao Hongjun flatly denied it.

Absurd!

Zheng Xiaolong became angry after hearing this.

If you say that these two are related to you, at least it can make sense.

You actually said you didn’t know me at all!

"Then why did you recommend them? Isn't it fun?!" Zheng Xiaolong's tone became aggressive.

"Director Zheng, tell the truth, these are not recommended by me, but by Minghua, the author of this script!" Zhao Hongjun couldn't help but told the truth.

“He understands film and television production?!”

“It seems, he doesn’t really understand.” Zhao Hongjun told the truth.

"What's the point of giving blind orders?" Zheng Xiaolong really couldn't suppress the anger in his heart: "A layman directs us experts? Mr. Zhao, the director and the role of Song Dacheng can follow your requirements, but the heroine also has this Wang Husheng, I have to Re-elect people!”

“No!”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongjun also said in a tough tone: “I don’t care about the others, but these must be chosen according to our requirements. Do it!”

“What if we don’t agree?”

“Then I won’t sign this contract!” Zhao Hongjun put the tea cup on the coffee table and left immediately. posture.

Deputy Director Zhang next to him saw this posture.

Broken.

The two sides actually came to blows.

He himself fully hopes to sign this contract. The script is very well written, and there are people taking the initiative to invest, so why not?

So he scolded Zheng Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, why are you speaking so hastily? We are partners, friends, not enemies!"

He smiled at Zhao Hongjun and said, "Mr. Zhao, don't be anxious. If you have anything to say, we can discuss it slowly."

Friend?

My friend is such a shit!

I hate this kind of blind command the most!

Zheng Xiaolong cursed secretly in his heart, but said nothing.

Zhao Hongjun didn’t really want to leave. Seeing Director Zhang like this, he also got off the donkey and served the cup of tea again.

"Otherwise, Mr. Zhao, how about we first get to know the two actors you mentioned? And Li Xuejian, we also have to ask each other if they have any schedules."

"Yes, but I hope it will be soon. I have to go to Hainan."

"Don't worry, I won't delay your business."

After Zhao Hongjun left, Zheng Xiaolong held back his anger and rudely got angry at Director Zhang: "Director Zhang, do you think there is such a thing? The protagonists are all determined by their investors, and we still need a "It's useless!"

Director Zhang was not angry. He took out his cigarette case and handed one to Zheng Xiaolong. He lit it himself, and then said leisurely: "Xiaolong, take a long-term view now." It is said that rich people are uncles, and it is the same in film and television. It is not happening now. In a few years, I feel that it will become a common phenomenon. "

What?

Zheng Xiaolong was stunned.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Tomorrow you and Lu Xiaowei will go find these two people to understand and see if it works. If not, let's discuss it again."

It had to be like this.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Zheng Xiaolong didn’t want to lose this opportunity.

What a good script.

With him as the producer, plus Lu Xiaowei's direction, and choosing a few suitable actors, he will definitely be able to make a popular TV series.

Zheng Xiaolong and Lu Xiaowei braved the snow and wind to find the two actors.

Zhao Hongjun was extremely bored in his free time. He slept in the hotel during the day and went to cook mutton with friends or business partners at night.

Jubaoyuan, Manfulou, Yudefu

He has tried all the time-honored hot pot restaurants in Yanjing City.

A week later, Zhao Hongjun finally got the news: Zheng Xiaolong saw several recommended actors and thought they were okay, and was willing to sign a contract with Zhao Hongjun.

Soon, a formal contract came out.

"Happy cooperation!"

Zhao Hongjun and Zheng Xiaolong shook hands with smiles on their faces, and neither of them knew what happened a few days in advance.

After finishing the matter, Zhao Hongjun immediately returned to Xijing, without even taking a break, and drove straight to Fang Minghua's unit.

In the office, I saw an old newspaper spread on Fang Minghua's desk, holding a copybook and practicing calligraphy carefully.

"You guy, I'm as busy as a dog in Yanjing. It's better for you to have time to practice calligraphy!"

After hearing this, Fang Minghua put down his brush, glanced at him, and smiled: "Are you busy? You must have eaten all the mutton-shabu restaurants in Yanjing, right? You look like you’re getting fat again!” To get down to business, Zheng Xiaolong agreed! "

"How did they agree with these three actors?" Fang Minghua was curious about this.

Zheng Xiaolong said that he knew Li Xuejian before, but at first people looked down on this character, saying that the character Song Dacheng, an honest and humble ordinary worker, did not fit in with the heroes he usually played. In the end, it was all about his own face. I agreed and gave it a try and it felt great.

"When we first met Zhang Kaili, we chatted for a while and found that Zhang had a cheerful and generous personality, which was nothing like the introverted and quiet Liu Huifang. Later, a detail moved Zheng Xiaolong."

"What detail?" Fang Minghua asked casually.

“At her house, when it was almost time to eat, Zhang Kaili said: “It’s exactly noon, director, just eat something here, nothing good, just noodles.”

“ Zheng Xiaolong was immediately tempted when he heard this. Oh, isn't this person Liu Huifang? The role is finalized. ”

So easy?

Later, Zheng Xiaolong went to the Yanjing Film Studio. When he saw Sun Song in person, he immediately decided: Wang Husheng is the one who belongs to him! "

After hearing this, Fang Minghua leaned back in his chair and said with a smile: "That's it, we won't interfere with the filming, as long as we keep an eye on the crew's accounts! "

"You don't need to worry about this. Tangtang will immediately send her most capable men to Yanjing to serve as the financial director of the crew, specializing in accounting. "Zhao Hongjun said.

"Okay, let's quickly set up a film and television company. ”

In the midst of the storm, another sign appeared at the door of Shengshi Book Publishing Company in Duanlumen: “Shengshi Film and Television Company”

In fact, it is just one set of people and two brands.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the red silk covering the signboard was torn off, announcing the establishment of the company.

This day is the last day of 1988.
