Chapter 39 Investing in "Da Ming"
"Come on, peace, this is the hot upstart in the entertainment industry in recent days, Guan Ling Guan Dao."
The next day, Guan Ling took The company's legal affairs officer, Zhu Yawen and others had just arrived at the agreed upon location when Zhang Li and Liu Heping stood outside to greet them.
Liu Heping stepped forward to greet Guan Ling, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Guan Ling, "Guan Dao, Guan Dao, I have admired this name for a long time. No one would have thought that Nortel's third billionaire director would actually be Guan Ling. Such a high-spirited young man!”
“Teacher Liu is really amazing!” Guan Ling shook hands and responded, “When I watched “Li Wei became an official” and “The Yongzheng Dynasty”, I was so impressed that he could write this. People who develop TV scripts are very respected! I have long heard that Mr. Liu is the number one screenwriter in China, and today I finally got to meet Mr. Liu!”
A few people exchanged business opinions.
But Guan Ling is really convinced. For someone like Liu Heping, a dead girl will never be able to catch him in her lifetime. It's a pity that people of the older generation are now gradually disappearing from the audience's sight.
"Stop standing outside, senior brother." Guan Ling chatted for a few words outside, then looked at Zhang Li, "Let's go in and eat and chat?"
"Hey yo I was so friendly when I saw my junior brother that I forgot about it." Only then did Zhang Li react, and he quickly extended his hand to indicate that he should come in.
When he got inside the house, Guan Ling got straight to the point.
"Brother, what is the current situation of "Ming Dynasty 1566"? Please introduce it to me."
"Now that we have all approved the projects, we are just waiting to start filming. Mango Channel will show They are very interested and want to invest 35 million to obtain all the copyrights of the TV series as their opening drama next year." Liu Heping started to introduce it to Guan Ling as a producer.
“But we have considered that before, "Yongzheng", "Li Wei" and "Toward the Republic" were all TV series released by CCTV. Compared with the first three, the lines of "Da Ming" are more obscure, and Mango TV and His overall style is not very matching, but we contacted CCTV, and CCTV was not willing to invest so much money.”
“Isn’t this something that my junior brother told me he wanted to invest in last time, so I asked. Ask for your opinion." Zhang Li also added, "You told me last time that this kind of drama must be on CCTV, otherwise it is better not to be on CCTV. If you follow my words, if Mango wants to pay for it, just give it to him. But Heping disagrees. He treats the TV series like a child. "
"Teacher Liu is right," Guan Ling stopped the two of them from talking. "Last year, Mango Super Girl was very popular. It seems to be good. It’s the same as CCTV, but it actually attracts young audiences. Can young people understand it? Can they watch it? You have to go to CCTV.”
“But CCTV. When he learned that we needed so much money, he stopped participating at all." Zhang Li smiled bitterly.
Thinking of this, Zhang Li admired Guan Ling in front of him. How old he was.
When he was an uninvited guest before, he could still treat the other party as a junior brother. Forty million seemed like a lot, but in fact it was just like that. The two of them were about the same level, but it had been a long time since they last met. Not even half a year.
The film director of the Billion Yuan Club is directly on the same level as his classmates Lao Mouzi and Chen Shi. Outside, only Feng Pants can compare. The gap is not ordinary.
In just half a year, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground!
Although Zhang Li is considered a well-known director, TV drama directors and movie directors are really not on the same level.
Especially the one he shot of Jin Yiwei, even though he pounced, it didn’t even get a star.
That's the difference. If you want to make a TV show, you have to invest 35 million and have to be held back by other investors. But what about Guan Ling?
Don’t even think about it, as long as Guan Ling releases the demand for new projects, all companies will rush back to send money! This is the gap!
Zhang Li is not only jealous but also jealous of how popular the suspect has become recently. Breaking 100 million!
The great director of the billion dollar club!
Sounds awesome, doesn’t it? Alas, young people are getting better and better, Zhang Li is really envious in his heart.
“It’s best to involve CCTV, so that we can avoid CCTV’s drastic price reduction when we premiere.” Guan Ling discussed with the two, “But it doesn’t matter. If CCTV really doesn’t want to participate, then I will invest it myself. But all copyright proceeds belong to me, including but not limited to TV copyrights, Internet copyrights, etc. "
Guan Ling is rich, money! There are many!
I chose to film "The Ming Dynasty" for no other reason than to sit on the heads of all TV drama directors. I did it casually, which is a peak that you will never reach!
Of course this is a joke. In Guan Ling’s view, the first thing to do with the filming of "The Ming Dynasty" is that it will never lose money. In the future, online TV will soon be fully rolled out, and it costs 35 million to make one. The king of Chinese TV dramas is a source of endless wealth.
Secondly, Guan Ling wants people in the entertainment industry to see it. As long as the quality is high enough and the acting skills are good enough, the audience will never ignore any work! This can be regarded as Guan Ling's little hope after returning from time travel.
Although Yangchun Baixue and lower-class people each have their own way back in this world, many TV stations will also have their audience. But "Suspect" is better than "Dream Showbiz", and "Da Ming" is better than "Beautiful Li Huizhen", right?
Thinking of this, Guan Ling suddenly thought, where is the Queen of Water now? You can go back and see how much water there is.
All in all, Guan Ling is very sad about the TV series "Da Ming" that he has suffered for ten years. Perhaps if it were not for those ten years of dust, it is not known that a large number of high-quality TV series will appear in China. Woolen cloth!
"Junior brother, the box office of movies has been soaring recently. It seems that your pocket is very rich!" Zhang Li was jealous.
A few people chatted and finally asked Zhang Li to talk to CCTV. With CCTV’s endorsement, this TV will not be banned. Secondly, the first broadcast rights can avoid price reduction, and it can also Using CCTV's publicity resources, Guan Ling doesn't think it's necessarily a bad thing as for some profit sharing.
But Guan Ling will not be responsible for these matters himself. Instead, he will let the company's legal affairs follow Zhang Li to negotiate with CCTV.
"Junior brother, do you have a new project?" Zhang Li was a little jealous. The movie hasn't been released yet, so why are you so busy?
"Yes, Senior Brother. I am going to a foreign location to shoot a movie. I have been really busy recently, but for "Da Ming" you can start selecting people directly. I will definitely not be able to be the assistant director for Senior Brother." Guan Ling laughed.
“Oh, you, you are really embarrassing me,” Zhang Li smiled and patted his thigh, “Junior brother, go out and be an assistant director now, and see who dares to sit on the chair.”
The two also laughed, and Zhang Li finally decided to borrow Guan Ling's name and let Guan Ling directly become the director.
"This can't work, senior brother, let's direct together. You are in front. If you are behind, I'm afraid that my investment will be in vain if you don't take pictures for me seriously."
While joking, Zhang Li was convinced, "I am a bit romantic, but I take TV dramas very seriously. Junior brother, you must rest assured!"
"Brother, if there is a suitable role, , let Yawen take the role, but you don’t have to look at my face, the role can be big or small, the important thing is the suitability, I am not saying this politely, rather than letting him take the role, I hope that Daming can create a breakthrough in the history of Chinese TV dramas A peak."
After receiving a positive reply and chatting for a few words, Guan Ling said goodbye and returned to Nortel.
"Can "The Ming Dynasty" be the peak of TV dramas?" Zhu Yawen asked Guan Ling on the road, puzzled.
"I've read the script, and that's the script," Guan Ling looked at Zhu Yawen, "I can't write the charm of it, and Hollywood can't write it either. That's the depth of the Chinese court for five thousand years. ”
