Huayu Ye Qingjie

After the coconut tree annual meeting, the two stayed at home for a day, and returned to Yanjing on the third day.

As soon as Sisi got home, she went carefree with her best friends and took Xiao Doudou to play. Zhong Yunqing and Lao Cai were left to bargain with the TV station bosses for the premiere rights of the TV series.

In fact, according to Zhong Yunqing's original perception, he thought that the negotiations for the premiere of the TV series would take a week or so.

As a result, I didn't expect to have the result so soon.Several invited TV stations have raised the price to 55 per episode, but they are still clenching their teeth and unwilling to give up the right to premiere.

Lao Cai has never experienced such a posture in TV dramas for so long.After all, the scale of Tang Ren was not large in the past. After the production of the TV series was completed, it would be great if there were first-line TV stations willing to broadcast it. I have never experienced such a moment of being looted.

It's no exaggeration to say "I'll see you soon", so Zhong Yunqing still couldn't make up her mind to leave the matter to her, and finally had to let Zhong Yunqing go back to make a decision.

Of course, the "looting" mentioned here is not the same as CCTV.

During this period of time in 07, the CCTV set at this time was still a bit "noble".Basically, only some TV dramas that fit the main theme will be played, and they have not been distracted by capital yet.

Therefore, a sweet drama like Chef Fang may not be broadcast directly on CCTV for a period of time.

But having a set of ethics does not mean that all CCTV brother stations have such loftiness.The other CCTV [-], which specializes in broadcasting TV dramas, is different in comparison.After all, magical dramas such as Lotus Lantern and Magic Phone could be broadcast before, and so could sweet dramas like Chef Fang.

If it's other ordinary TV dramas bidding, it's true that the signing of the premiere TV station can't be done in a day or two.

But Chef Fang's story structure is already good, and now it is starring two of the most popular couples in the Mainland.

Let’s use an easy-to-understand analogy: This is like asking Hu Ge and Feibao to make another TV series. Fans don’t know if they will be popular or not, but thinking about the market prospects, it is enough to conquer the representatives of these TV stations. .

After all, this is definitely the prototype of a proper blockbuster drama, and it happens to be winter vacation now.

This kind of sweet drama suitable for men, women and children, basically does not need to do much promotion, as long as the first wave of fans and passers-by follow the rhythm, it will be easy to premiere successfully.Even after the first broadcast, there will be a few rounds of replays every one or two months, so there is no need to worry about losing money.

So this is the root cause of the reluctance of these TV stations.In the end, I still follow the old model of dealing with the possible explosion of dramas...

Zhong Yunqing finally chose CCTV [-], Mango TV, Magic City TV and Yanjing Satellite TV, and the four-star premiere was directly broadcast.

Of course, after the four-star premiere, it is impossible to talk about such an exaggeration of 55 episodes.Instead, each of the four TV stations released 15 episodes.

But this also exceeded Zhong Yunqing's initial expectations by a lot.You must know that this is not the future, and many TV dramas with big producers only have an episode of 30 to [-].

His first drama was sold at a price of 60 per episode, which can be said to be a bumper harvest!

You know, Chef Fang is a 36-episode TV series, and after this round, he directly earned 2000 million yuan!Of course, this is pre-tax, and there is also a part of Lao Cai's investment.But no matter what, it was a big profit.

Originally, while Lao Cai was excited, he wanted to agree to the second round of rebroadcast rights of Zhejiang Satellite TV and Anhui Satellite TV, and the other party opened up to 12 episodes.But Zhong Yunqing declined.The reason is very simple. He remembered that the influence of the rebroadcast of Chef Fang in the previous life far exceeded that of the first rebroadcast.

Selling the rebroadcast right now is completely a prodigal act. We will wait until the first broadcast after the Spring Festival is over to see the ratings results.

As for why such a low-cost drama can be arranged for a four-star premiere, the reason is actually quite normal.Because the Internet was not well developed at this time in 07.And the entertainment facilities are not as diversified as later generations.

There is no such thing as a certain hand, and no one here at station b can watch the video.

As a result, most people's pastime during this period can only be said to watch TV.And also during this period, every local TV station has its own loyal and sticky audience.Therefore, it is not that which TV station monopolizes the first broadcast right can bring much advantage to itself.

Therefore, in such a specific historical period, a four-star premiere of a TV series that seems to have great potential has become a reasonable choice.

It's just that in this way, the small-budget TV series written, directed and acted by Zhong Yunqing can really be regarded as an early counterattack among the big productions this year.And if all goes well, he will soon be able to accelerate the promotion of the first movie by himself through the popularity of the show.

…………

After finishing many matters concerning the first broadcast of the TV series, there is less than a week left before the Spring Festival.At this time, according to the agreement with Sisi, Zhong Yunqing will take Sisi back to his hometown in Rongcheng to meet his parents, and spend the new year together by the way.

Before preparing to leave, Liu's father and Liu's mother also specially asked the young couple to go home for dinner, and then took out some prepared gifts for Zhong Yunqing to take back to Zhong's father and Zhong's mother.

Zhong Yunqing knew that this was the approval of his prospective son-in-law by the elders of the Liu family, so he didn't refuse, and took it generously and expressed his gratitude.

The next morning, the two packed up and set off for the airport.

It's just that there are a few more people in the team this time, because they promised to go back with the Dou Dou family before, and the air tickets have been booked in advance.But the family arrived at the airport ahead of time to wait.

When we arrived at the airport, there was still some time before take-off, so Zhong Yunqing carried Sisi's big suitcase, and the two walked hand in hand at a leisurely pace.

But this kind of intimacy didn't last long, as soon as Xiao Jijiu appeared, Sisi let go of him and ran to play with the child.He was left alone behind with his suitcase.

At this moment, the backpack that was originally placed on top of the suitcase was not fixed and fell down.When Zhong Yunqing bent down to pick up his backpack, he accidentally bumped into a man who happened to be passing by.

After all, he was careless, so he just got up and prepared to apologize to the other party.As a result, he and the other party looked at each other in a daze.

Although Zhong Yunqing was wearing a mask, acquaintances could easily recognize him by the outline between his brows.

"Yun Qing, why do you..."

"Hey, Chu Lian. It's such a coincidence that you also sit on the plane."

"That's right, a close buddy of mine from the former military academy got married, so I asked for leave to go to Rongcheng for a wedding. What about you, where are you going?"

"It's a coincidence that you go to Rongcheng, my family belongs to Rongcheng."

"Oh, I remember, you said before that your home is in the suburbs of Chengdu."

After the company commander Chu Xuan finished speaking, he looked at him strangely and continued:

"Why are you carrying a girl's suitcase and traveling with Sisi?"

"That's right, I took Sisi home for the New Year this time."

The other party tapped his shoulder lightly:

"Oh, you can do it now, kid. You've already met your parents, so you're going to get married soon. Remember to let me know when the time comes. Don't be a big star and you won't recognize 'old comrades'!"

Zhong Yunqing could also hear that he was referring to the training period.For him who had never been a soldier, that experience was indeed a good memory.

So Zhong Yunqing smiled and responded to Chu Xuan:

"Don't worry, Chu Lian, that's not possible. If I get married, I will definitely tell you old comrades in arms. It's not impossible to not go home without getting drunk."

The other party was also a little bit infected, and also replied with a smile:

"That's it."

Zhong Yun nodded, but at this moment he noticed that there was a middle-aged man in his thirties beside Chu Xuan.At first, he thought that the other party was a passer-by who was also waiting for the plane and didn't pay much attention, but he found that this person had been following Chu Xuan all along.

So he gestured with his eyes, looked at Chu Xuan and asked:

"Chu Lian, is this your friend?"

The other party nodded, and then patted the shoulder of the middle-aged man beside him:

"Oh, this is my old squad leader in the recruit company, but he has been retired for several years. This time, he also went to the wedding together."

Zhong Yunqing, of course, would not put on celebrity airs, and stretched out her hand to say hello:

"Hi, I'm Zhong Yunqing."

The other party may not be chatty.He shook hands with him and responded with a name:

"Liu Meng, fierce fierce..."

The name Zhong Yunqing felt quite familiar.In his last life, he was half a fan of the military and had read a lot of military novels.So when the other party mentioned the name, he immediately thought of an author.

So he tentatively asked softly:

"Hey, are you the 'Liu Meng' who wrote military novels?"

"Well, I have written a few books, but they are not very famous..."

"Humble, I remember that your "Last Bullet" has been published..."

Sisi also came out of the waiting room at this time, she went in for a while and found that Zhong Yunqing hadn't followed, she thought he was looking for another girl to strike up a conversation with!

"Old Clock..."

But seeing him standing with the two men, Sisi walked over curiously.

"Chu Lian, Liu Meng, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend Liu Sisi."

"Hello..."

Afterwards, several people chatted for a while, only to find out that everyone was on the same flight.

"Yun Qing, you're almost dominating the entertainment news in the past two days, including on the Internet, such young directors and actors' transitions, all right, you're getting better and better."

"Hey, don't make fun of me. Compared with you officers, being a star is just a job."

While chatting, Chu Xuan remembered a topic he had talked with Zhong Yunqing before.

"If you have a chance in the future, I still hope that you can create some military-themed film and television dramas. There are too few military dramas about ourselves now."

In fact, Zhong Yunqing also wants to maintain cooperation with the military, especially because he has made friends with a second-generation military with high potential.He originally had his own development plan, but now that the other party mentioned this matter, he felt that some adjustments should be made to his plan.

But of course he knew what to say.

"Chu Lian, in fact, I have never forgotten what you said. I recently read a military novel written by Brother Meng, so I was wondering if I could turn this book into a TV drama script. Originally, I wanted to get in touch with you during the Spring Festival. The author contacted you after he had the results, but unexpectedly, you and Brother Meng are old comrades-in-arms!"

What he said made Chu Xuan and Liu Meng look at each other.There are many precedents for changing novels to TV dramas, but it seems that only Bright Sword is really popular.

Liu Meng asked uncertainly:

"You mean to say that I'm going to revise my newly published book and make it into a TV series?"

"Originally it was just an idea, but now that you and Chu Lian know each other, it will be easy to handle. Of course, this matter is not something that can be decided in a few sentences. Let's discuss it in detail later. I am a professional director and a professional screenwriter. , Your novel has the potential to be adapted. If you have this intention, I can be an investor, I can also recruit a shooting team, and I can let you be a director, and I will be named as an assistant director."

In Zhong Yunqing's future plans, maintaining a relationship with the military is still very important.Therefore, Zhong Yunqing still felt that he should revise the filming plan at this time. If Liu Meng agreed, he would postpone the following films and shoot a military TV series first.If the other party does not agree to sell the copyright, he can only temporarily put aside the little Jiujiu in his heart.

After all, military-themed movies are very likely to hit the street at this time. He has just started not long ago, and his net worth is not that rich, so he can't stand the big trouble.

At this time, Chu Xuan also realized that Zhong Yunqing was serious, so he also helped and said to Liu Meng:

"It just so happens that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the army. Since Yun Qing is the director, he thinks your novel has a bright future. You might as well think about it. Let's make a film to celebrate."

"Hi Liu Meng, after the Spring Festival, come and talk to me with the script."

In the last time and space, Liu Meng's novel was made into a TV series by himself in 09.As a well-known author, he can adapt it as a screenwriter himself.And Zhong Yunqing can also be said to have invested money to let him be the director.But the starring role is up to you to choose.I believe that with Chu Xuan mediating, the other party has no reason not to agree.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if the Special Forces opponent doesn't want to shoot for the time being, at worst, he will shoot Wolf One first when he has spare money in two years.However, the murderous aura like Wolf Warrior had better be born at the right time, and he would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

When Liu Meng heard that he was willing to invest and be a starring role, he was actually a little moved.Not to mention anything else, Zhong Yunqing and Sisi are both first-tier stars, and they are willing to act in the works of ordinary writers like themselves, which is very attractive to a writer who dreams of being a director.

However, although he already had an idea in his heart, Liu Meng was not a young man after all, so he still wanted to smooth out his thoughts first.

"Let me think about it first, let's talk about it in detail after returning to Yanjing after a while."

"Okay, let's leave a phone call for each other, and then we will come out for tea together."

Chengdu Shuangliu Airport.

"Yunqing, Sisi, come to our house as a guest when you have time."

"Sister Sisi, come and play with me."

Sisi rubbed her little head:

"Okay, after these two days are over, I'll go to your house to play with you."

"Well, don't lie to me!"
