Not long ago, Zhang Yuan returned from Xiangjiang.
As soon as I landed and turned on my phone, countless calls and text messages poured in.
The disappointment of the past few days was wiped away.
Not only has the liveliness of the past been restored, it has become even more noisy.
He planned to return home one by one when he had time.
Those who responded on the spot were those who still cared about me in recent days.
He didn't say it, but he remembered it clearly in his heart.
Who are true friends?
Who are the fence-sitters?
Who are talking behind my back?
Some people who watch the show even wish that he died so that resources could be freed up for them.
He knows roughly everything.
But we can’t criticize them one by one.
This is true in any profession, there are good guys and bad guys, people who make things worse, and people who laugh at jokes.
If you always spend your energy on resenting and retaliating against those villains, you will have no time to do serious things.
"Hey, Zhang Yuan."
Lao Han from China Film and Television took the initiative to call him.
As he spoke, his former joy returned.
"I have already studied the new script."
"Very good!" Lao Han praised.
"Let's find some time to come over and talk about the project shooting."
"Okay, I'm at the airport. I'll find Ning Hao later and we'll visit together."
"Okay, okay..."
This ended the call.
I said before that I would consider it, but now I say that the project can be approved.
People are like this.
Lao Han was pretty good, he just suppressed it and didn't fall out.
"Zhang Yuan."
Another call came in.
"Come and sit with us again sometime."
"What I said last time has not been settled yet."
The caller this time was Mr. Zhang from Mango Station.
I told him last time about the 1.5 or 2-round broadcast of "Troublesome Family".
Round 1.5 means a few days, or a week or two, after the first station airs it. Before it is completely broadcast, other stations broadcast it at the same time.
TV dramas are something new to watch.
Everyone is chasing dramas, and they must watch the TV station that airs them first.
The 1.5-wheeler is a little slower, but the price will be much cheaper.
It's a product of compromise.
"Troublesome Family" has been scheduled to premiere on CCTV before filming begins.
CCTV doesn't care about you or that, they almost never do multi-channel broadcasts.
Either it's the first broadcast or it's reruns, rarely broadcast at the same time.
CCTV gave the film a purchase price of 100,000 yuan per episode.
Sitcoms have always been a low point in terms of unit prices for TV series because of their weak advertising and investment capabilities.
So the price looks low, but it’s actually not high...
A total of 100 episodes of scripts is worth a total of 10 million.
Other dramas can only air 40 episodes for a maximum of 20 days, but this movie can be aired for more than a month.
"Okay, I've finished taking care of some things here, and I'm going to meet you."
Zhang Huali, like Lao Han, had not promised to buy the film before.
But now he took the initiative to come to the door.
The same thing happened on the other side of the Magic City TV station. Mr. Li called him to discuss the broadcast contract of "Troublesome Family".
By the way, let’s check the details of the May Day party again.
"If you have time, would you like to perform on stage yourself?"
An invitation was also extended to him.
I didn’t say this when discussing the party before.
"Let me think about it. If I have time to rehearse, I can go on stage and sing a song or something..."
"Okay, let's wait until you come."
These are all acquaintances and very well-informed.
Knowing that his previous worries about Zhang Yuan had disappeared, he took the initiative to contact him.
So how did they know that Zhang Yuan was fine?
Watch the news.
A few days ago, Zhang Yuan received a call.
Then he hurried to Xiangjiang.
Before going to Xiangjiang, he specially brought his own special black suit.
Black suit, black pants, black tie, black socks, black shoes.
A pure black set.
He has used this set a lot recently and has worn it several times.
This was used at Ma Ji's funeral and Mr. Guan Xuezeng's funeral.
This is his special mourning dress.
This time I went to Xiangjiang to attend the funeral.
Human beings are destined to die.
It may be lighter than a feather, or it may be heavier than Mount Tai.
Now, this person who passed away clearly belongs to the category that is more important than Mount Tai.
"Mr. Oh, my condolences."
After arriving in Xiangjiang, he rushed to Hao's house and said hello to the eldest young master and his father.
The old man just finished his life in Imperial Union Hospital.
The body will be transported by Air China, and a funeral will be held at the Xiangjiang Convention and Exhibition Center.
You'll know this place is amazing when you hear it.
The most common places for ordinary people to visit are funeral homes and convention centers.
All figures from the political and business circles in Hong Kong are here!
The gambling king came over from Macau.
Li Jiacheng also came with his wife, children and children, holding flowers.
The funeral procession is of such high standard that it is rare in the business world.
Because the old man has long surpassed the boundaries of a businessman.
Hao Qigang personally held the portrait and walked at the front of the team.
The eldest son, the eldest grandson, the future heir, this is the card.
Zhang Yuan is not qualified to be in this team.
Don't talk about him, Guo Jingjing didn't go through the door, and she was not qualified to be buried at this time.
They all had no choice but to wait at the ceremony site at the Convention and Exhibition Center, waiting for the funeral to be held.
Zhang Yuan and Guo Jingjing were relatively familiar with each other, so they stood together while the cat waited in the corner for the ceremony to begin.
"These people all look rich and noble, will our appearance be too shabby?" Queen Guo was still worried.
"Even if there are tens of millions of gold and treasures, when you die, your hands will be empty fists." Zhang Yuan replied.
"Besides, all the jewelry on these rich ladies combined is not as valuable as a gold medal of yours."
"Besides, we all earn our own money, and those women all rely on the men at home to eat."
"I still look down on them."
Guo Jingjing nodded and agreed with him.
Zhang Yuan was chatting and watching. There were not too many media present today.
Because not every media can get in!
Xinhua News Agency, CCTV, Xiangjiang TV, Shanghai TV... must be at least a regular provincial TV station or above to be qualified to bring in machines.
There are also heavy security checks.
Most of the people present were celebrities and dignitaries, and they were afraid that someone would cause trouble.
In this situation, the entertainment media would have no chance of entering.
Therefore, it was rare for Zhang Yuan to relax.
Because most of the people who can stand here don't care and don't recognize him.
Finally no one asked for autographs.
Buzz, buzz, boom...
Soon after, mournful and happy people in the venue remembered that the family members were in place.
How high is the standard for this matter today?
Xinhua News Agency has prepared a thousand-word article.
The first three sentences are "A life of patriotism, a life of struggle, and a life of dedication."
This final conclusion is generally only used on important comrades.
In the whole of Xiangjiang, there is no second wealthy businessman who can sum up his life with these words.
A funeral of such a character and standard was not something that a small star like him could attend.
If you dare to join in the fun of this kind of thing and come uninvited, you won't be able to get over it with just a few criticisms.
However, the directors of our most important charitable foundation, the Sports Foundation, are eligible to come.
The eldest young master's secretary personally called him to inform him of the matter.
This is the reason why he made a big deal out of the party and only got a job that seemed to be of little use.
Because he estimated that the time was almost up.
Influence in the sports world is our country's greatest political resource.
How important is this fund? The current chairman is Hao Zhengting.
The next one is Hao Qigang.
All are handled by the head of the family.
During the moment of condolences, people divided into groups.
Zhang Yuan stood among the people at the foundation.
Just simply come forward, lay flowers, and bow.
Then he lined up and followed the flow of people out of the venue, and that was the end of his activities for the day.
So what's the use?
That night, the news network spent a full five minutes reporting on the funeral.
Something that can make Xinwen Network spend five minutes must be at least as big as the sky falling and the earth falling.
The Challenger exploded, the Twin Towers were hit... at least it had to be an event of this level to be worth five minutes.
In this five-minute content, in addition to introducing the life of the participants and the old man, the funeral and ceremony scenes will also be filmed.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
In the scene of the ceremony, when Zhang Yuan bowed and presented flowers, there was only two seconds of footage!
Even if you look at it for just two seconds, it’s worth gold!
When Zhang Yuan negotiated terms with the other party, he said that he wanted to increase his exposure on CCTV.
What he said was never the party, but the news!
Before going to Xiangjiang, he called Editor Liu and told him about it.
Of course these two seconds were not an accident, but a greeting.
Otherwise, the camera will just sweep by, and there are so many people coming, and there is no guarantee that you will be there.
Don't watch it for two seconds, it only accounts for 1/900 of a 30-minute program.
But different times, places, and people will bring completely different effects.
From the moment he took this job, Zhang Yuan understood a truth.
He is no match for the opponent at all.
What is my background?
So if you do this one thing at a time, it is absolutely impossible to succeed.
But there was one more thing he knew very well.
That's it, the opponent has to win, and he just has to not lose.
The opponent must attack him to show his strength.
And he doesn't have to attack the opponent, he just needs to make the opponent stop and not dare to move, which is a big victory.
If he appears in a funeral of this level, those who are careful will notice it immediately.
As soon as you discover it, you will investigate it, and as soon as you investigate it, you will worry.
As soon as the old man left, you started to become someone else's hanger-on.
and can easily cause misunderstandings.
So the old leader immediately reacted, this kid can't move!
Even if he was wearing tiger skin to scare us on purpose, he couldn't move.
Then his attitude changed and he asked those who were eating with him to quiet down.
The wind is blowing!
Zhang Yuan is a professional when it comes to bluffing people!
I know your gun is full of bullets, but I bet you don't dare to shoot.
Others were slower to react, but Zhang Huali and Li Ruigang, who are in the media themselves, reacted the fastest!
The situation becomes clear at a glance.
"Director Lin, how are you doing there?" Zhang Yuan called Lin Cong.
"What did you do?" the man asked him.
"Nothing?"
"Nothing... Then why are all the people outside the set leaving?"
The older brothers who caused trouble and wanted to confiscate things were all gone.
Through this matter, Zhang Yuan can confirm that the matter has disappeared.
Are you afraid that others will find fault?
If you're afraid, don't hang out.
When the time comes when the soldiers come to cover up the water and earth, swallow the meat around your mouth first.
"It's good to go."
"Then we're ready to shoot."
"No, change the place." Zhang Yuan interrupted.
"You've already left, why don't you change places?"
"For safety reasons, I told you that I will find you a safe place to shoot so that you don't have to worry about anything."
"You're still here, don't worry, other crew members and actors have to worry too."
"I miss people when I see things. There are several children in the crew."
"I was in a bad mood and it affected the shooting."
"I understand, then I'll have my things packed. Have you decided on your new place?"
"Decided immediately."
After putting down the phone, he went directly to Ning Hao's house to pick him up, and took a car to China Film Studio together.
"Hahaha, here it comes!"
Today, Lao Han is much more enthusiastic, smiling so brightly that he makes people make tea.
"I have read the script, and "Crazy Racing" is obviously a step forward and more mature than "Crazy Stone"."
"Yes, Director Ning has put a lot of effort into it. I think when this film is finished, the box office should surpass "The Stone"."
"I think so too." Han Sanpin then lit up his cigarette and started talking about specific matters.
In the end, China Film Group accounted for 30% of the investment in the film.
They also handle distribution and production, so the actual revenue must be more than 30%.
Originally, Lao Han wanted to invest in more, after all, "Crazy Stone" made a lot of money.
But Zhang Yuan said he would leave some for Brother Hua.
After all, "Crazy Stone" can be produced because of Hua Ge's great efforts.
If you don’t have someone to work with, then you won’t have someone to eat with.
It’s not easy for Brother Hua, no matter how many movies he casts in, only one of them will make money...
Lao Han felt that he could still think about Liu Dehua and he had a conscience, so he didn't force it.
So in the end, this play became a 5, 3, 2 pattern.
Zhang Yuan accounts for half, China Film Group 30%, and Hua Ge 20%.
No matter how much you eat, it's enough. With my current size, half of it is already a lot.
If you eat alone, you will get beaten easily.
"Mr. Han, I also want to ask you to do a favor..." Before leaving, he mentioned one more thing.
After leaving the gate of China Film Group, Zhang Yuan was discussing with Ning Hao in the car.
"I have to work hard for you this time."
"In terms of remuneration, there are two options."
"Basic salary plus bonus."
"Or full salary, your choice."
Zhang Yuan is willing to give a total salary of 3 million yuan, or a base salary of 500,000 yuan, plus a stepped bonus.
A box office of 50 million will be divided into 2 million, a box office of 75 million will be divided into 3 million, and an additional 2 million will be added for a box office of 100 million, for a total of 5 million.
The big brain pondered for a long time and was a little hesitant.
"Why, are you so unsure of yourself?"
He knows that 5 million sounds good, but the only people on the market who can get this salary now are those few, either Lao Mouzi, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Shi, or the great directors in Xiangjiang.
The price Zhang Yuan gave was very kind, and there was a precedent. He believed that the other party would not go back on his words and refuse to pay the money he owed.
"If you can't, go back and discuss it with your wife." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.
"Why are you asking her about the old man's business?"
"You'd better say this in front of Aina. I'll record it for you."
Ning Hao:......
After returning home, the couple discussed it for a while and decided to play something big.
To be divided!
After the couple signed the contract with him, they hurriedly revised the script and worked out the details.
Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, led the creators of "Troublesome Family" to a new studio.
"Now, I rented a studio here."
"Get everything done here."
"Refresh."
"Here?" Lin Cong glanced at the big sign at the door.
【Imperial Film Studio】
"Don't you want to be safe?"
"It's safe here, no one will cause trouble." Zhang Yuan pointed inside.
This is what he asked Lao Han to help with.
There are many studios in Beijing Film Studio, but they are generally used for movies, not too many TV series.
"It's indeed safe here." Lin Cong glanced at the producer, screenwriter and others.
Nothing to say!
If it is not safe here, there will be no safe place for filming in the entire imperial capital.
Extraordinary people do extraordinary things.
People said they wanted to be safe, so they built a very safe place.
Sure enough, he did what he said.
Not everyone can use this place.
Several senior executives of the crew looked at each other and knew what was going on.
This time we are with the right person!
If you have a relationship, you have to spend money.
It is indeed not easy to get the studio of Beijing Film Studio for shooting.
But it also ensures that no one will look for trouble.
Zhang Yuan led them to the location. Director Lin took a look and estimated that it would take two weeks to rearrange before filming could begin.
She was very careful when she said this, after all, one day's delay is money.
Zhang Yuan didn't pay much attention to it. He had already spent a lot of money, so it was not enough.
After finishing this work, CCTV called him again... (End of Chapter)
