"Hahahaha..."
Not long after, a hearty laughter belonging to a middle-aged man came from a large office on the upper floor of CCTV.
"It seems that we really underestimated this kid!"
Not long ago...
"Do you think the reason I gave you is appropriate?" Zhang Yuan said softly.
The other party said that he needed a reason.
A reason to air a TV series on CCTV that performed poorly twice.
If it were an ordinary producer, he would definitely answer.
"We have a great cast for this drama."
"The script of our play is sophisticated and refers to a large number of ancient books."
"The filming of our drama is exquisite and every prop is individually made from antiques."
Such statements that demonstrate the strengths of the work.
But these are just external advantages.
Just like an actress, you say she is beautiful, has a good figure, and is tall.
But the movie he starred in has already hit the box office three or four times in a row. Would an ordinary crew want it?
The same is true for this drama now.
Needless to say, external advantages are useless.
Among the large-scale historical dramas broadcast by CCTV, which one is not good, the actors are not good.
So the key to the problem lies in the core content of the work.
CCTV has a very special place, which is different from any other local station.
That is, in addition to radio and television, he is also the mouthpiece of the country.
This is very important.
The first thing about the movies broadcast here is not whether they are good or not, but whether they can make mistakes.
Similarly, without making mistakes, many of the works broadcast by CCTV are not just for the common people.
Just like ordinary people see the same content in the conference reports every year, but experts can tell the form of work in the next few years at a glance.
To give an example, take the relatively recent "Song of Song Dynasty" which was broadcast in early 2005.
The film is absolutely good, with ratings of drama kings.
Among them, the character of Song Ci portrayed by teacher He Bing is very impressive.
But if we talk about the best performance, I have to say that it has to be the villain Diao Guangdou played by Mr. Guo Da.
When comedians perform serious dramas, they often use dimensionality reduction.
He Bing, the mainstay of the talent show, was so suppressed that he lost all his luster.
However, Zhang Yuan felt that this film should not be called "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty", but "My Father-in-law, the Minister of Civil Affairs".
Without his father-in-law, the Minister of Civil Affairs, how could Song Ci be better than Diao Guangdou?
So besides being good to watch, what’s so special about this show?
This has to be viewed in light of the actual facts at the time.
03, 04, and 2005 were major years of internal purges.
This is the theme of every year's meeting, and we focus on it very closely.
The content of this film seemed to be about investigating a case, but in the end, after much investigation, it was all traced to those at the top of the list.
A year or two before the later "In the Name of the People" was broadcast, the format was similar.
Therefore, the other party asked him to give a reason.
This reason is not used to convince the audience.
Rather, it is used to explain to people above and to those above.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan told Editor Liu a story.
The story takes place in ancient times, and the time cannot be determined.
One day, a farmer in Jiujiang County was dissatisfied with the multiple land taxes distributed by the local magistrate.
So he collected the burden reduction regulations promulgated by the Agriculture Department, and tried to win over his neighbors to resist this oppressive behavior.
After the county magistrate learned about it, he arrested the farmer and took him to the county jail.
It's called enlightenment.
A few days later, the farmer was educated to death...
Relatives of flesh and blood died unexpectedly. Farmers and their families rushed to tell each other and gathered half a hundred relatives to go to the county government to cause trouble.
After being arrested and quickly driven away, they were beaten by thugs and dozens of people were injured.
After this spread, the people in the four surrounding counties were already dissatisfied with the forced expropriation of land and tax, and they started to rise up one after another.
Bringing young and old, young and old, armed with farm tools and tools, they gathered angrily.
Within a few days, the number of people exceeded 10,000!
The county government was surrounded.
The county magistrate tried to repeat the same trick and sent police officers to intimidate the crowd.
Unexpectedly, the people were furious and killed one policeman on the spot and injured countless others.
And kill the local heads together.
Things have come to this, and it’s hard to go back!
The farmers rushed into the county government office, captured the county magistrate, beat him for a long time, then dug a hole and buried him alive.
After demolishing the county government office, they dispersed.
After this happened, the government and the public were shocked, and the six ministries were horrified, and they quickly held a meeting to discuss the faults.
After Zhang Yuan finished telling the story, Editor Liu looked serious, with cold sweat condensing on his forehead.
This is an ancient story.
Yes, ancient stories...
"What do you mean by this story?" Chief Editor Liu quickly changed the subject, not daring to listen any more.
"Listen to me and speak slowly." On the contrary, Zhang Yuan was not in a hurry at all.
"The drama "The Ming Dynasty 1566" begins with the Yan Party, in order to fill the national treasury deficit, changing the name of rice to mulberry and forcibly annexing people's land."
"It makes the people of Zhejiang miserable."
"In order to make a fortune for themselves and to please Emperor Jiajing, Party Yan did not hesitate to destroy fields and trample seedlings, and even destroyed dikes and flooded fields."
"Because he oppressed the people too much, Sannong Qi Dazhu led a large number of farmers to surround the governor's office."
After listening to Zhang Yuan's introduction, Editor Liu frowned.
So similar!
It’s so similar to the story just now.
"There will be no talk of fighting in the court afterwards."
"However, in the face of the complaints from the people, the old Yan Ge faction still made "changing rice into mulberry" a national policy."
"Even one of the characters, Jo Jung-gil, made the ridiculous statement 'If the people suffer any more, I will bear the blame.'"
"That's it!"
Just like the story just now, Editor Liu didn't dare to listen to it anymore.
Because of Zhao Zhenji's line in the film, he was familiar with it.
The real Zhao Zhenji in history was not like the capable minister in the film.
This is the most notorious person in "Ming Dynasty 1566".
But Teacher Xu Min’s performance was really good and impressive.
When I was a child, I watched "The Yongzheng Dynasty" and felt that the prince's performance was excellent. Mr. Xu really acted like what he was doing.
Of course, Shaoshi didn't know why the prince wanted to have an affair with Zheng Chunhua.
As she grew up, she discovered that the actress had two big stars.
It was a thunder as big as Yang Mi and Li Xiaoran combined!
I can only say that the casting and plot suddenly made sense.
After listening to the story he told and the plot introduction of his TV series, Editor Liu had an idea.
"Wait for me for a while."
After that, he went out directly and took the elevator upstairs.
Then, there was the laughter in the office.
"Okay."
"At such a young age, he can understand what we mean."
"And the vision is so high, so sensitive, that I can see this level."
"It seems to be a material that can be made."
This person is happy because the reason given by Zhang Yuan is very suitable.
In addition to the film being consistent with that "ancient" story, there is another important reason.
Starting from January 1, 2006, the agricultural tax that has been in place for thousands of years and has oppressed generations of farmers for a long time has been completely cancelled.
From that "ancient" story to the beginning of 2006, seven years have passed.
Because this tax involves nearly 100 billion in annual revenue.
How many people's interests are involved?
One can imagine the great resistance.
Zhao Zhenji is not the only one who wants to "suffer the common people even more."
Besides, these people don’t want to take the blame.
With this reason, this film can stand up on CCTV.
It doesn't matter if the ratings are bad.
For this reason, if the superiors know about it, not only will they not blame him, they will also say that he did a good job.
After a long time, Editor Liu returned to the office with a happy face and the contract.
"The superiors are very satisfied."
"That's good."
Zhang Yuan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
If he is satisfied, he will make money!
The next step is to negotiate the price.
Zhang Yuan expressed his desire to compete with "Beijing Smoke and Clouds".
The editor-in-chief refrained from beating him. This movie was paid 800,000 yuan per episode by CCTV, so it cost 3,000 yuan.
Zhang Yuan also said that if that doesn't work, it can be compared to "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".
The editor wanted to slap him even more.
CCTV spent 35 million to buy this film in 2005.
You came to the main station to blackmail me!
It is not the first broadcast, and there is no such participation from CCTV, China Film, and China Television Corporation.
It is equivalent to a girl who is neither a child nor a relative of the royal family.
Of course they are not willing to pay that much money.
Zhang Yuan also knows that muddy hammer-dropping tactics and shameless bullshit tactics are useless here.
I still had a good talk with the other party honestly.
The final price offered by the other party was 500,000 per episode, but the number of episodes had to be cut from 46 to 40.

CCTV's schedule is as good as gold. Most of the TV series they come to have to be cut short before they can be broadcast.
After getting the contract, Zhang Yuan started working in the paper industry.
"Just talk, run errands, and get the 20 million order, 10 million divided!"
“You can’t make money so fast even if you make loan sharks.”
"I also got a webcast copyright that will be worth gold in the future."
"If it is successfully broadcast on CCTV, it can be sold to local stations and make a few more rounds."
He went to CCTV alone, returned to the courtyard and handed the contract to Yang Siwei.
The young manager was stunned after reading this.
She always thought that her boss was an artist.
But now she feels that Zhang Yuan may be a mage.
Have you been tricked by CCTV?
The rotten rice from the Mango Station was in his hands, and it was on the CCTV table.
"Get ready and go to the Mango Terrace with me tomorrow."
"Let's explain to them."
"Have you mastered drinking?" Zhang Yuan asked.
"Just so so." The fat lady shook her head slightly.
"Then I have to call Brother Zhang Li, otherwise no one will help me stop drinking."
"No matter how good I drink, I can't stand even a dozen alcohol tests."
"Inform Song Jia and ask her to explain to Director Zhang."
"I understand." Yang Siwei immediately contacted Miss Song.
"Also, please contact Boss Zhao Decai."
"He told me before that he has a Wangjing commercial project under construction, which should be in the final stage now."
"I think the funds are almost in place. I'll look for an opportunity and ask him to help me get a discount."
"So that we can buy the office building."
"You can't come to my house to work every day from now on. Parking is not convenient."
Yang Siwei opened his mouth.
You really buy it!
Zhang Yuan had told him before that he would make do with his house for the time being and would buy an office building later.
She has seen the boss make cakes a lot, and since she just came here, it’s not easy to refute him.
Just make do with it.
Her plan was to wait until enough people were recruited and she couldn't use it anymore, forcing Zhang Yuan to rent an office.
Unexpectedly, my boss and I were playing tricks on each other, but the boss was really playing tricks!
And most people buy offices.
His mouth is like an office building!
This is not only a matter of money, but also a matter of future planning for yourself and the company.
If you don’t want to become bigger and stronger, why buy a building?
Zhang Yuan's thoughts are simpler.
Buying a small building not only allows you to have an office, but also saves you money on rent and allows you to wait for appreciation in value.
Another point is that when buying a property, you buy it under your own name.
But sometimes he rents it back to his own company.
In this way, the company's net income will be lower, which is good for tax purposes.
Anyway, the left hand is the right hand, you can rent it at the highest price in the market, just don't be too outrageous.
I turned around and went out and took a plane to Hunan.
When he put the CCTV contract in front of Zhang Huali, the vice president studied it for a long time but couldn't say a word.
[Received thanks from Zhang Huali, Observation +4, Negotiation Skills +3, Endurance +5! 】
Silence is better than sound at this time.
After a long time, Mr. Zhang cast a look at him.
Zhang Yuan saw the general meaning of this look.
From now on you will be my half-brother...
It's one thing to make money back and fill the hole.
The crux of the problem was that he saw that CCTV had forced the film out of its schedule and was reluctant to let the film appear!
That’s okay!
What kind of relationship did this kid have to do this?
He didn't even dare to think about it.
If this is the case, if he is around in the future, just like we have been warned by our superiors every three days in Taiwan, wouldn't we be able to respond internally?
"Hey...how did you do it?" This person couldn't help but ask.
"I am a hardworking person." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.
Zhang Huali:......
Is this a matter of effort?
You kid, hide it from me, right?
In fact, Zhang Yuan didn't want to say it, and it was difficult to say it.
Because this was a special situation, a "pre-war general mobilization", the other side gave itself the green light to do anything.
In addition, this film is also quite special.
Even if it’s a bit cheaper in the future, it won’t be as outrageous as it is now.
"Let's go and eat!"
Zhang Huali took the initiative to treat today.
The same people as that day.
But people are different.
"Come and pay homage to our Zhang Yuan."
Today, the people at Mango TV respect him!
Teacher He was still in the queue, blinking as he watched.
Only a few days have passed, and the hosts and guests have reversed!
My friend is really awesome.
I can make the leaders in the station be so polite.
The private room was also filled with laughter just like that day.
The same reason to laugh.
"Our film will be shown on CCTV."
But that day it was ridicule, today it is laughter.
The mood and treatment are completely different.
I really didn’t drink less.
Zhang Li was so drunk that he fell down and had to be supported by Song Jia to go to the toilet.
I guess Teacher Song will have to work hard tonight.
Brother is really happy too.
He is the director of the film, and if it can be broadcast again, it is an opportunity, which is better than anything else.
Seeing that Zhang Yuan was full of confidence, he was also infected and had some hope.
Even Mr. Zhang’s cheeks turned red after drinking.
When the food was almost gone, Zhang Yuan took him to talk.
What he was talking about was that he planned to make a new movie with the original cast of "Family with Children".
It will be broadcast on CCTV later, and I hope the second round or 1.5 rounds will also be on Mango TV.
Zhang Huali was so beautiful that she praised her on the spot and said it was no problem.
We ended up at the bar and went home to rest.
Sitting in the car on the road with the windows rolled down.
When the wind from Liuyang River hit him, he suddenly felt excited all over.
This is the reaction!
"He said what he was going to do!"
He also graduated from Fudan University and is an alumnus of those students.
After returning home and drinking several cups of strong tea, I came back to my senses.
"Damn it, I wonder how he can handle the CCTV side!"
"What a minefield this boy has!"
"It won't happen, it won't happen..." This person remembered that he had boasted just now that the film would be broadcast after it was finished filming.
"Be careful!"
"If something happens to him, I will be implicated if I sign the contract."
However, he did not make an immediate decision and draw a clear line between them.
But I plan to put it off for a while.
Because he felt that according to this boy's behavior, something might not necessarily happen!
At the same time, Zhang Yuan also received a call from the Magic City... (End of Chapter)
