Chapter 898: Those who eat can’t outrun those who drink 98
The 55th Baeksang Arts Awards was held as scheduled at a conference center in Gangnam District, Seoul, and was broadcast live on JTBC TV station.
"Isn't that ridiculous? The awards ceremony started at 9:30, and now there are guests eating at home at 7:30. The staff must be anxious to death!" Pei Zhuxuan acted even more anxious than the staff, urging: " Hurry up and hurry up."
"What's wrong? I won't be late, okay?" Chen Chen yawned loudly, then slowly picked up the bowl and said, "Award. The ceremony lasted nearly three hours, and I came out around 2:50. It was not too late to leave home until I saw the live broadcast of the award ceremony on TV. "
"It makes so much sense, I am speechless. Yes." Pei Zhuxuan rolled her eyes at him and said in a strange tone, "You must walk there later, there's no rush anyway."
"That won't work. The live broadcast site is still quite far away from me. You have to drive." Chen Chen pretended not to understand, "And driving there can avoid the drinking party after the show. It is an excuse at least."
"You Just relax, no one will drag you to the reception." Pei Zhuxuan said. He found it funny, "The people who came to the award ceremony were all the actors who performed the best in the past year. If anything goes wrong at the reception, the South Korean film and television industry will be a big earthquake. The artists themselves are also afraid, and the organizers will be too. You are not allowed to reunite after the show.”
"I can understand the organizer." Chen Chen sighed heavily on behalf of the Baeksang organizer, "No matter who among these artists has a problem today, everyone will blame the Baeksang Arts Awards for the problem. It's very shameless. It makes sense.”
“So,” Pei Zhuxuan asked with a smile. "Do you want to walk there later?"
"Be a human being!" Chen Chen shoveled rice into his mouth, "With the little food you made, I couldn't even eat it all." In terms of energy consumption going back and forth, can I compare with someone who drinks 98-octane gasoline?”
"Okay, let's eat quickly." Pei Zhuxuan arranged the task for Chen Chen before he went out. "When I come back, I will buy some soy sauce. I have almost used up the ones at home."
...
The time it took to drive to the conference center was not as long as the time it took to find a parking space, which made Chen Chen regret not taking a taxi.
However, the process of entering the venue was quite smooth. There were staff to guide him all the way, and Chen Chen quickly reached his waiting room.
“Oh~ I didn’t share it with anyone else this time, it’s quite comfortable.”
The waiting room is not big, but Chen Chen is quite satisfied.
But Chen Chen was only happy for less than five minutes, because soon a dignified-looking middle-aged man walked in without knocking.
"Hello, President Chen Chen, I am Li Bingzhen, the director of JTBC. I am very happy to meet you here."
Li Bingzhen introduced himself straight to the point. The momentum also has a source at this moment.
"Ah, hello." Chen Chen shook hands with him, "Director Li is actually attending today's live broadcast. I think the artists who came to the stage will feel very honored to know about it."
"Actually, if you just want to do it, you don't need me to come here in person." Li Bingzhen shook his head, "I'm here just for you."
"..."
This is so important. Chen Chen felt a little picky as he spoke, and countless bad images flashed through his head in an instant.
But everyone is a serious person. After putting aside the unserious things, the real purpose is easy to guess.
"You must have watched the TV series of C Department." Chen Chen asked him to sit down first, then took water from the corner of the room and handed it to the director, "How many do you need?"
"Can we discuss this directly?"
Li Bingzhen was a little surprised. After all, this was his first time contacting Chen Chen.
"Because I am already familiar with this kind of business." Chen Chen spread his hands, "MBC, TVN, KBS, SBS, except for your JTBC and the slightly farther OCN, all of them have a good reputation. I have basically been exposed to all TV stations, and they all "I see." Li Bingzhen returned the question to Chen Chen unreasonably, "How many movies should I ask for?"
"Two." , at least two can make the TV series department more active.”
Although Chen Chen was dissatisfied with him for throwing his problems at him, he could only casually mention the numbers due to the other party's identity and his difficulty in getting angry.
It is said that there are two, but in fact it is just because Chen Chen can only have two TV dramas at his disposal at any time.
"When the Camellia Blooms" is being filmed at full capacity, and "Model Taxi 2" is ready to be used at any time.
As long as JTBC is willing to pay a high price, Chen Chen can certainly sell it to them without hesitation. They are an orthodox force with strong roots in South Korea.
Yes, if the various forces in South Korea also talk about blood, the blood of JTBC TV station is quite pure, and the energy behind it is very terrifying.
"Two movies seem a bit missing."
Li Bingzhen is not dissatisfied, he just feels a bit inferior.
"It's quite a lot, and it's definitely enough for the current JTBC. The most important thing is that even if you want more, I really can't get it here." Chen Chen smiled bitterly, "I Three people have been given out, and these two have been squeezed out with great effort. You can't make things too difficult for me."
"I'm here to beg Chen Chen. Sir, how dare I embarrass you?" Li Bingzhen was very polite, "It's good to have two, just don't find it troublesome."
"Uh" Chen Chen was surprised by his sudden politeness. He was stunned for a moment, then calmed down before continuing, "I don't think it's troublesome, but there are some things that I need to trouble JTBC with."
"Say."
Li Bingzhen made a gesture of invitation.
"C Department can produce TV series for JTBC TV station, but it requires JTBC to pay a large investment in advance." Chen Chen directly used his acting skills and performed a smooth performance in front of the TV station director, "C Department's own The funds are no longer enough, but I can't safely hand over my TV series to others, so I can only let JTBC invest in advance."
"But don't worry, you will definitely not lose money. "
"You must know that I gave three scripts to outside TV stations, which means that the quality of the scripts I squeezed out for you is very outstanding."
"Think about it, how high should the quality be for a book that I have been hiding and reluctant to use or give to others?"
"Let me tell you a little bit." Chen Chen lowered his voice, as if he really As if he was talking about something particularly secretive, "You should have heard of the TV series "Model Taxi". One of the scripts I plan to give you is the second season of it."
" "Hey Yigu!" Li Bingzhen's eyes lit up instantly, "It's good to have such a script."
The results of "Model Taxi" were quite satisfactory, but that was for the three major wireless TV stations. Said.
If a cable TV station like JTBC gets it, it can be regarded as a signature TV series for a season. It can be called a good product with excellent quality. Lee Byung-jin’s enthusiasm is predictable.
"I feel the sincerity of President Chen." Li Bingzhen was a little excited, "Then I will go back today. JTBC will come back to Boss Chen with his sincerity soon!"
