In order to lend people to Chen Kaige, Zhou Yan specially called Liu Hang and the others to a meeting and studied the group list.
After more than two hours of discussion, it was finally decided to send a team of twenty people there, led by Hong Xin.
Of course, the twenty people are only temporary, and more people should be sent later. After all, the filming time of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" has not yet been set, and there is no way to confirm the list.
After the meeting, everyone else left, and Zhou Yan left Jiang Mengfei behind.
"Mengfei, your department is new, so I only transferred two people, otherwise it will affect the development of your department."
Jiang Mengfei smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't transfer anyone."
"The transferred Xiao Liu and Xiao Wu are young people with little experience. It would be better to let them go to a large production crew to hone their skills. How about it? Have you encountered any difficulties in the establishment of your department?"
"There are some difficulties, but they can basically be overcome. But what I worry about now is that when the department is perfected, there will be no TV series for us to shoot."
Jiang Mengfei has indeed been worried about this matter.
The scripts submitted to their studio from outside are not only movie scripts, but also some TV drama scripts. When Jiang Mengfei has nothing to do, he will go to see if there are any better scripts.
Not only TV drama scripts, but also movie scripts, he doesn't let go. In his opinion, no matter what script it is, as long as the story is good, it can be made into a TV series.
But unfortunately, he has not found a good script so far.
In addition to reading these submitted scripts, they are also collecting scripts themselves.
He did find some decent scripts, but they were just passable, and none of them stood out to him.
Qizhi Company will also send some scripts, and the quality is average.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Now there is a project that you can participate in."
"What project?" Jiang Mengfei asked eagerly.
"It is a project of CCTV."
"CCTV's project?" Jiang Mengfei was very confused. How could they participate in CCTV's project?
"Originally it was CCTV's own project, but it will probably become a project of our cooperation in the future." Zhou Yan explained.
"What project?" Jiang Mengfei asked.
""Yongzheng Dynasty"." Zhou Yan said the name of the TV series.
"Is there a book with this name?" Jiang Mengfei asked.
Zhou Yan nodded, "There is indeed a novel with this name, written by Yue Yuehe. There are three volumes of "Yongzheng Dynasty" in total, which were published in 1991, 1993 and 1994. They were not very long."
< br>
"I remember reading it on the bookstall, but I didn't open it."
"This plan is only in prototype. There is not even a script yet, and it is not even certain whether it will be filmed or not."
It is not easy for CCTV to finalize a plan, and it needs to be negotiated by multiple levels of departments.
Zhou Yan first learned about this plan from Yang Dongsheng.
At that time, he and Yang Dongsheng were chatting about the Ancestral Temple Concert. He asked Yang Dongsheng if CCTV had any recent plans. Yang Dongsheng casually mentioned "Yongzheng Dynasty".
At that time, the "Yongzheng Dynasty" plan had not even been officially launched.
After hearing about "Yongzheng Dynasty", Zhou Yan became interested and wondered if he could participate in it.
Whether it can make money is secondary. Zhou Yan wants the newly established TV drama department to be able to take part in such a big job and grow quickly.
And with this kind of project experience, it will be very easy to attract other projects in the future.
Pulling a tiger's skin to make a banner is very effective.
It’s not that CCTV can’t cooperate with others on its own projects. After all, CCTV is also short of money.
The main reason why the project is difficult to finalize is the lack of money.
The TV station only has so much money. If it is given to this project, other projects will be cut off.
Zhou Yan asked Liu Hang to contact CCTV and gave him good conditions. It can be seen that the TV station was also very excited.
It's just that the two sides have just contacted each other, and the specific outcome cannot yet be determined.
Zhou Yan is telling Jiang Mengfei this now so that he can be mentally prepared so that he won't be at a loss when the project is finalized.
Although Zhou Yan said that it was not certain whether the film would be filmed or not, Jiang Mengfei rubbed his hands together very excitedly: "CCTV's project is good, but ordinary small projects are not interesting to do. What is the time point of this plan? When can the filming be confirmed? Not shooting? ”
"It's coming soon. The TV station has been busy discussing it recently. If it's fast, the results may be there before the year."
Jiang Mengfei became even more excited, "There are only a few days left before the end of the year. If you decide to shoot, when will you be sure whether you will cooperate with us or not?"
"The results will come out at the same time, because they are now discussing the two things together, and after the results come out, Liu Wenwu will start looking for a director."
The Liu Wenwu Zhou Yan was talking about was the producer in charge of "Yongzheng Dynasty" this time, and Liu Hang also contacted him.
"Then I'll come over as soon as possible after the Chinese New Year."
Zhou Yan waved his hand, "Even if the matter is done, there is no need to be so anxious, because this cooperation is led by CCTV. The director, screenwriter, photography, art... these will all be determined by CCTV first. We are just You have to be mentally prepared to play support next to you.”
Jiang Mengfei didn't care, "It doesn't matter, anyway, we can't handle any big drama with our current manpower."
Although Jiang Mengfei has never watched "Yongzheng Dynasty", he knows from the name that the scene will not be small. The key is that it was filmed by CCTV, and it cannot be a small scene.
"I only have one request. Can Ana Shen be allowed to work as an assistant director on the set?"
Shen Yan is a general in the TV series, and Jiang Mengfei certainly wants him to participate in "Yongzheng Dynasty".
Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "I can guarantee that he will be given a position as a director's assistant."
In fact, it doesn't matter if you want an assistant director. After all, this kind of position is fictitious. Whether you can do things depends on what the director and producer say.
If I let you work, you are the assistant director. If I don't let you work, you are no different from the waiter.
However, Zhou Yan still didn't want to interfere too much, so he only agreed to a director's assistant position.
"That's okay." Jiang Mengfei said very simply.
Jiang Mengfei also knows that there is actually no difference between a director's assistant and an assistant director. It just depends on how the director and producer give power.
Zhou Yan nodded, "In addition, you will definitely serve as the producer."
There will be many producers for this drama. Zhou Yan asked Jiang Mengfei to serve as a producer, which means he asked Jiang Mengfei to be the representative of the studio.
"No problem, but what role should I play?"
"Just watch on set and report any special circumstances in time. Don't worry about anything else. If the producer or director needs anything, you can also communicate with me."
"Understood."
"Well, you can just go back and wait for the news. Even if there is no result before the new year, it won't take too long after the Chinese New Year."
"Okay."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Go back and have a good New Year."
"You too."
...Zhou Yan returned to Jinling on the day of the beginning of spring. On this day, the box office of "Space Traveler" happened to exceed 80 million yuan.
The major media have been paying attention to the box office of "Space Traveler". Its box office exceeded 80 million, and everyone quickly reported it.
And their information was basically obtained from Yanjing Studio.
"Time Traveler" has achieved such good results, Han Sanping certainly hopes that the media can help build more publicity and publicity. This is his first film after proposing a Lunar New Year film plan.
The greater the popularity of this film, the easier it will be to implement the plan for the New Year film.
Thinking about it, there will definitely be more movies added during the Lunar New Year season next year.
In order to allow the media to obtain information faster, Han Sanping even set up a temporary department specifically to communicate with major media.
Not long after Zhou Yan landed, he received a call from Xu Feng and heard the good news.
Zhou Yan was not very excited when he heard the news. After all, he had already determined that it could be achieved in advance.
After he got home, he only rested for one day, and it was New Year's Eve.
In the past, every Chinese New Year, grandma and the others would definitely ask Zhou Yan about their marriage. However, Zhou Yu was already married, and Zhou Yan already had Wang Zuxian, so everyone's firepower was basically concentrated on Zhou Hong.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Looking at it, Zhou Hong is about to turn thirty. In the circle, most of the men of his age have already married, and there are no girls of his age left.
"Secretary Liu's daughter also got married in the middle of the year. She had a blind date with Hong'er before, and she is two years younger than Hong'er. What a good girl, Hong'er, even you don't like her. Now that she's getting married, you don't No chance.”
The old lady attaches great importance to the marriage of her second grandson. After all, he is really not young. The key is that he has no clues at all. If he has a girlfriend like Zhou Yan, they don't need to be so anxious.
Zhou Hong always smiled at his grandma's nagging and didn't make any arguments.
Seeing that her grandson was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, the old lady let out a long sigh, "Don't wait for Xiaoyan to get married, you don't even have a partner yet."
Zhou Hong smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm not in a hurry, let Xiaoyan get married first."
"If you really don't find a partner, you can only let him get married first. You can't let him and Xiaoxian wait for you forever."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, grandma."
The old lady rolled her eyes and said, "After talking for so long, you should also consider getting married. Don't be in a hurry. You should also consider Xiaoxian. She is a little older than you."
Wang Zuxian is three years older than Zhou Yan, and he just celebrated his thirtieth birthday two days ago.
In the opinion of the old lady, Wang Zuxian would definitely be in a hurry to get married at his age, and she did not want her grandson to delay others.
"We are not in a hurry."
The old lady shook her head, "No one can worry."
Of course, it's not that there is no peace of mind. At least the eldest brother Zhou Yu is very upbeat. Their sister-in-law Gu Fangfang is currently pregnant with Liujia, and the Zhou family will have a baby next year.
Finally, their Zhou family will have four generations living under one roof.
Because of this incident, the family was extremely lively during the Chinese New Year this year, as if a baby had been born.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Wang Zuxian called.
Before Zhou Yan could talk to his girlfriend, Xiaojiu and the others occupied the phone, rushing to talk to Wang Zuxian.
After the younger brothers and sisters had finished making trouble, several elders went over to chat with Wang Zuxian for a while.
By the time the phone arrived in Zhou Yan's hand, more than ten minutes had passed.
Zhou Yan directly carried the phone into the room and said with a smile, "Do you miss me?"
There was no sound from the other side.
Just when Zhou Yan was wondering, he heard Wang Zuan's voice, "Brother-in-law, it's me."
Hearing Wang Zuan's voice, Zhou Yan coughed slightly and said awkwardly, "Second brother, it's you."
"Well, when I heard Xiaoxian calling you, I just wanted to say hello to you for the New Year. Have you had the New Year's Eve dinner?"
"Have eaten, what about you?"
"We have also eaten. We were talking just now. If you were here, we would definitely drink a lot more wine today. When will we have time to come to Taiwan after the New Year?"
"There should be time soon."
"Waiting for you to come over..."
Wang Zuan chatted with Zhou Yan for five or six minutes. A voice called him on the other end of the phone. Wang Zuan said: "Brother-in-law, my mother called me and I went to take a look."
Before Zhou Yan could reply, he heard Wang Zuan's footsteps getting farther and farther away.
After Wang Zuan left, Wang Zuxian's voice came from the other side, "Second brother is a bit drunk and talks a lot."
"Haha, you can't tell."
"I'm not completely drunk yet, otherwise I would be sleeping in bed right now. I was embarrassed last time when I drank, and now I don't dare to drink more."
"I was embarrassed last time."
"You're much better. Anyway, you should be careful next time you come here. My brother and the others are thinking of revenge."
"Next time I go there, I will drink less."
"They may not necessarily agree."
"Next time before I go there, make more appointments for yourself to work. If they want to persuade you to drink, I will say that I have work."
"This is a good idea, but it can't be used often."
"Bring them to Jinling when you have time, and I'll find someone to have a drink with them."
"If you get them drunk, my mother will definitely tell you."
……
The two of them chatted casually without any core topic.
Zhou Yan thinks this is good. Although they have been together for several years, neither of them will get bored talking about trivial things.
Just talking on the phone like this, Zhou Yan was in a good mood when he heard Wang Zuxian's voice.
Sometimes Wang Zuxian would share her experience in real estate speculation with Zhou Yan, and her tone was full of pride. After all, she had indeed made money by speculating in real estate.
Zhou Yan has no interest in real estate speculation, but he is willing to listen to her and occasionally makes suggestions, but he doesn't say too much.
If he wanted to help Wang Zuxian speculate in real estate, there were too many ways and channels.
But in that case, although Wang Zuxian can make more money, the fun of making money will be much less, and he will lack a sense of accomplishment.
Zhou Yan didn't help too much, hoping to keep her sense of accomplishment while also allowing her to do more things.
Now that she's not filming, if she doesn't have anything to do, every day will be boring.
The two chatted on the phone for a long time, but Wang Zuxian later hung up the phone because he was worried about the phone bill.
The cost of phone calls between them is indeed high, and even a wealthy woman like Wang Zuxian finds it unbearable. (End of chapter)
