Chapter 197 The domineering president falls in love with me
[There will be another update in the evening]
After setting the goal, Xu Kun immediately showed his usual vigor and resoluteness.
He first contacted Laobaigan Winery, originally thinking that he would take care of his old friend if he had something good to do.
But this time Lao Baigan was a little hesitant, mainly because the six million he invested in "Zhu Yuanzhang" had not yet seen any action, and it had not been on CCTV before, which also caused some noise inside the winery.
So what Lao Baigan meant was that he hoped to push it back and wait until "Zhu Yuanzhang" was broadcast. Of course, in order to stabilize Xu Kun, they also made a promise, saying that as long as the popularity of "Zhu Yuanzhang" was good, they would pay heavily Hire Xu Kun as spokesperson.
From Lao Baigan's point of view, this approach is naturally not a big problem.
But what Xu Kun wants now is to race against time, otherwise if the reputation of this mountain monster is taken away, the value of this drama will be greatly reduced.
You must know that now is the time when flowers are blooming in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, and TV series of various types are emerging in endlessly - in recent years, there has even been a Korean stickman who is also trained in the cheap style of washing, cutting and blowing.
So Xu Kun finally gave up Laobaigan and turned to Xiao carrot juice.
After Xiao's boss read the abbreviated version of the script, he told Xu Kun that as long as Meng Hao could be given the title of CEO of a beverage factory, he would spend all of the remaining 8 million yuan in promotional funds this year on this film. On the play.
It sounds grand, but in fact, this money is still invested. Compared with Lao Baigan's direct advertising sponsorship fee of 6 million, it is more than one market lower.
Of course, Mr. Xiao also has something to say, what kind of character is advertising Lao Baigan? That's Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang!
Who is advertising our carrot juice?
At best, he is a real estate owner, and at worst, he is a criminal. For Xiao to be able to make this decision, he has already taken a huge risk!
Xu Kun thought about it for a while and felt that this condition was not impossible to agree to. Xiao's main carrot juice had passed the health product certification. By the time of filming, it would be a perfect match for Meng Hao who started out by making health drinks and then switched to real estate. set up.
After all, according to normal logic, the words "self-made" and real estate development really have nothing to do with each other.
Tian Youliang didn't have any objections to this. Anyway, it was just a matter of adding one or two lines when introducing Meng Hao in the drama, and then putting two bottles of carrot juice on his desk.
As for the name of the real estate company, changing it from Kunpeng to Xiao makes it more down-to-earth - it is perfect to use the good news of the Olympics to promote real estate.
However, the boss of Xiao has some opinions on the name "The Difficult Love of Diamond Kings". He feels that it is too long, too boring and difficult to remember - since it is a modern urban love drama, it must have a more western name. !
Tian Youliang chose this name just to be down-to-earth, but unexpectedly he was criticized by a country boss. When he couldn't laugh or cry, he discussed with Xu Kun whether to remove Diamond King Lao Wu and change it to "Hard Times". love".
Originally, this drama was broadcast in the summer of 2008 and became the annual ratings champion of Jiangsu Satellite TV. When it was taken out as the new year's drama in 2009, this was how it was changed.
But Xu Kun feels that the "Diamond King" is the essence. How can there be any reason to remove the essence and get the dross?
So I suggested: "Why don't we call it "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me" instead."
"Okay, okay!"
The boss of Xiao greatly praised the name: "It's upscale and straightforward. It sounds much better than "Tough Love"!"
Tian Youliang also recognized this name.
So as soon as half of the funds were raised, the show was officially renamed "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me."
After reaching an agreement with Xiao, Xu Kun turned around and prepared to go to Lao Jia for support. It would be best to come up with another 12 million to help the crew.
With the extra 5 million, Xu Kun planned to spend it on the Way of Service. At first, Tianjian's reputation in other aspects surpassed that of the Immortal Sword, but the Way of Service was slightly inferior.
Now, since we are going to film a billionaire chasing a woman, we have to make sure the scene is grand and we must not repeat the same mistakes!
As a result, before he contacted Lao Jia, Wang Zhonglei from Huayi came to the door and expressed his intention to invest 5 million in this drama, not for anything else but Xu Kun.
"We are our own people. How can we be honest if our own people don't help us?"
Wang Zhonglei patted Xu Kun on the back, with an attitude of 'Kun can fly with peace of mind, Huayi will always be with you', which made Xu Kun get goosebumps all over his body.
This boss Xiao Wang is said to be for both men and women... However, Wang Zhonglei's interference this time was not because he liked Xu Kun's 'beauty', but because the battle between Huayi and Wang Jinghua had become increasingly fierce. , it is becoming increasingly impossible to bridge.
Huayi's proactive show of goodwill this time can be regarded as a plan in advance.
In fact, Xu Kun was still a little excited. After all, judging from Ge You, he would definitely be considered a direct descendant when he entered Huayi, not to mention that this was a timely help.
As for whether Huayi will fall in this storm...
Xu Kun recalled it carefully, and it seems that he could still see news about Huayi 20 years ago, so it should be relatively stable - and when he becomes a real big shot in the future, he won't need to care about Huayi.
But the news about Huayi's investment has spread.
The first person to call was Huo Siyan, saying that last time Tianjian you gave the heroine to someone else, you can't give it back to someone else this time, right?
Xu Kun argued that he could not make the decision on his own, and used the agreement with Tian Youliang as a shield, but in the end he agreed to Huo Siyan's request to recommend her for an audition.
In fact, Huo Siyan's fit for this role is quite high.
But Xu Kun is not as hard-working in recommending Huo Siyan as he was in recommending Jiang Yiyan.
The reason is very simple. Jiang Yiyan has completely tied herself to Xu Kun, but Huo Siyan is more shrewd and feels that the relationship with Xu Kun cannot last a lifetime, so she always thinks about riding a donkey to find a horse and trying to expand herself. of personal connections.
From Huo Siyan's perspective, this is understandable.
But from Xu Kun's point of view, Shuang Feiyan is divided into closeness and distance.
After Huo Siyan, there were many people who came forward to talk about the project. Those who were close to each other, had strong backgrounds or were famous, were all looking for the heroine, while some of them were looking for the roles of a second female, a third female, or a second male and a third male.
Even the supporting characters who have more roles are being inquired about through connections.
This is very different from the original filming of "Sky Sword", when Xu Kun was unknown and had not proven himself.
Nowadays, he is popular all over the country with his movie "Sword Heroes". At the same time, his relationship with Beijing and Taiwan has also been exposed to more people. With these achievements and connections, people will naturally be interested in him raising funds and taking on the responsibility of producing. People are flocking to TV series.
Most of them were stopped by Xu Kun using Tian Youliang as a shield.
But there are also things that are difficult to refuse. For example, Fupo Jiang recommended her new boyfriend Jin Dong, hoping to play the role of elite lawyer Mu Bai.
Xu Kun made a brief contact and found that this person's acting skills were not bad, and his character image was relatively consistent, so he immediately agreed.
Anyway, Mu Bai's role can only be regarded as the fourth male lead.
He recommended Wen Zhang, the talented second male lead in the Chinese department, but he did not make a direct decision, leaving it to Tian Youliang to decide.
As for the third male lead, Meng Hao's younger brother Meng Wei, a bright boy from head to toe, is considering whether to recommend Zhu Yawen to audition.
This guy's 'confession' can be regarded as a pledge of honor, and he has been working hard without complaint recently.
The real trouble was actually the heroine. Although Tian Youliang won half of the casting rights, he actually had no specific candidate in mind.
Until Lao Jia's 7 million was in place, and the 20 million was enough for the crew to start work, Tian Youliang had not yet found a suitable candidate.
It's not that he doesn't like anyone at all. In fact, he has already fallen in love with Liu Yifei.
But even if we don’t mention Jiang Yiyan and Liu Yifei’s feud, Liu Yifei still doesn’t like “The Boss Falls in Love with Me” - Chen Jinfei and Liu Xiaoli are now waiting for the broadcast of “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” to accumulate enough popularity, and then make the most of it. I'm so excited to go to Hollywood.
