Chapter 1038 I’m Rich!

Yang Jie, the director and producer of China Television's "Journey to the West", is feeling very proud these days.

Although the research in the station has not been completed, Ruan Nuolin is the deputy director of the station and participated in the discussion. The news she gave is that there is generally no problem.

There is no need for Wei Xiaofan to say it in person. As long as they know that Yin Jun personally decided to sponsor the TV series, the leaders of China TV Station cannot say no.

They all knew that Wei Xiaofan showed Mr. Yun a few Xiangjiang TV dramas written by Yin Jun. Mr. Yun was very enthusiastic and praised Yin Jun's scripts as "feelings, patriotism, heroic sons and daughters, and strong character." ", and also praised Yin Jun for "the script is like a human being, and he is really the best among overseas Chinese in the past 20 years."

Look, there is no need to talk about Yin Jun's previous work in the electronics factory. In the cultural field alone, no one dares to hinder Yin Jun.

Otherwise, do you mean that you are more authoritative than Mr. Yun, and that you are better at making judgments than Mr. Yun?

Even though Mr. Yun is not as popular as Mr. Xiao, Mr. Yun’s prestige and power within x are no less than those of Mr. Xiao. Even if Mr. Xiao carries out reforms, he needs the strong support of Mr. Yun. .

Therefore, not to mention that Yin Jun is just a free sponsor, even if Yin Jun wants to join in and share the copyright of "Journey to the West" as an investment, Huaxia TV can only admit it with pinched noses.

But Yin Jun was so sensible that he said it would be free from the beginning. Apart from having a production supervisor come in to supervise the use of donations, there were no requirements at all, which made the people at Huaxia TV very comfortable.

It's not like no one has thought about Yin Jun's donation, but the boss of China TV Station directly rejected it.

Are you kidding? Is Yin Jun’s money so easy to get?

They have direct access to heaven. If there is any trouble, I will follow you in misfortune!

I only follow you around when I eat too much.

It is under such circumstances that the progress is very smooth. The rest basically depends on how much the writers can expand the number of episodes.

After Yin Jun gave Wang Congqiu the three top-level cameras that day, after waiting for another day, Wei Xiaofan went to Yang Jie and told her that the Kirin Group would sponsor the "Journey to the West" crew with 3 of the latest Wi-Fi systems from the United States, and Send a team of martial arts instructors over to them. They will only give advice and will not force them to do anything. They will only listen to Yang Jie in everything.

Yang Jie is not that cold about Xiangjiang's martial arts instruction team, and feels that the martial arts students from mainland theater troupes are enough.

However, she also heard people who had participated in the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the crew of "Shaolin Temple" say that the people from Xiangjiang Kylin TV and Kylin Film Company were very friendly and not as arrogant as she had heard before, nor were they looking down on them. It means mainlanders.

Therefore, Yang Jie still welcomes the martial arts guidance team of Qilin Films to come over and discuss how to make the action scenes better.

As for the three latest wire systems from the United States, when Yang Jie knew what they were used for and what effects they could achieve, she was absolutely drooling!

How much trouble can such a high-end wire system worth millions reduce? With them, flying around, are you afraid that it is not good enough? Are you still worried that your safety will not be guaranteed?

Not only Yang Jie, but Ruan Niaolin from China Television heard the news and approached Yang Jie, asking her to use one for the station to film the TV series. The Journey to the West crew could use two.

Originally Ruan Nuolin wanted two, but considering Yin Jun's possible feelings, she reluctantly gave up and only wanted one.

But even this one, Yang Jie didn't want to give it to her.

In the end, considering that Ruan Nuolin fully supported her on the stage, Yang Jie was really reluctant to get a spot in one unit.

It will take about two months for the Wia system to be shipped from the United States, but another gift from the Kirin Group has already arrived.

That is clothing sponsorship. Wei Xiaofan told Yang Jie that all the clothing needed by the "Journey to the West" crew this time will be provided free of charge by the Kirin Group. The styles and materials can be customized by themselves. They only need to provide the size, style and other data. Just bring it over. Kirin Group entrusts the weaving and embroidery team of the Forbidden City Cultural Relics Restoration Factory to make it.

The weaving and embroidery team will temporarily hire some private experts and craftsmen to help with the production, so as not to delay the progress of the crew.

However, the Kirin Group also had requirements. Yin Jun said that these clothes will all belong to the Kirin Group after the filming is completed.

It is said that Yin Jun will build a museum in China in the future, and these "Journey to the West" costumes will also be displayed in it.

Regarding this request, Yang Jie didn't need to tell China TV, she could decide by herself.

Without spending any money, you can enjoy the costumes made by national treasure-level weaving and embroidery masters, and they have everything you need. What's not satisfying about this?

That is to say, Yin Jun came forward, otherwise the Forbidden City Cultural Relics Restoration Factory would never agree to the use of these national treasures to make these costumes - the clothes of the emperor, queen, princes and princesses have not been repaired yet, so how can they turn around? Got these costumes from you guys?

Since last year, Yin Jun has donated 2 million US dollars to the Forbidden City every year, 1 million US dollars for the maintenance and protection of ancient cultural relics in the cultural relic restoration factory, and 1 million US dollars for the experts of the cultural relic restoration factory to go abroad for inspection and research, and learn from others. advanced experience.

Of course, at least one-third of the subsequent money was spent on the entire staff of the Forbidden City, but it also brought great reputational benefits to Yin Jun, so the Forbidden City is very interested in He is very friendly.

And Yang Jie didn't know that Yin Jun had promised to increase his sponsorship by another US$1 million starting from 1982, which would be used for the cultural relic restoration plant to recruit more private masters and apprentices, as well as purchase various advanced instruments and other equipment. Come to restore and preserve these treasures of cultural relics.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult for the Forbidden City to explain to the superiors.

In the past two days, Wei Xiaofan and Yang Jie also talked twice more.

Kirin Group's money will not be given so piecemeal. When the project is officially established, half will be given, and then when one-third of the filming is officially started, the rest of the money will be received.

The producer from Xiangjiang will not interfere with the use of the money. The money is in the hands of the crew. The producer is only responsible for seeing whether the money is used outside the "Journey to the West" crew.

Being able to get so much money at once made Yang Jie's heart feel hot. She quickly called people from China TV Station to start making a budget to see how to use the money in the most reasonable way.

On the other hand, Yang Jie certainly believed in Yin Jun's character and would not change his mind midway, so she suddenly felt rich and wealthy.

The previous stingy shooting plan was directly rejected by her and she started making a new shooting schedule.

The best filming locations for "Journey to the West" are naturally the west and southwest. There are many people in China studying "Journey to the West". Yang Jie is planning to set up an advisory group immediately to recruit these people. Let them determine the costume issue first, and then wait until the script episodes are numbered to study which location is most suitable for filming which chapter.

Not only did they research in Huajing, they also had to take a bus to conduct on-site inspections. Finally, Yang Jie had to go with the production team and director team for final confirmation before it was finalized.

Although such a trip would consume at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of funds, in Yang Jie's opinion, it was very worthwhile.

If the filming location does not meet the requirements, then the plot will not be good-looking. If it is not good-looking, wouldn't it be a waste of Mr. Yin Jun's hard work?

The second decision Yang Jie made was that there was no way to increase the salary of the actors, but the subsidy should be increased according to the previous plan. They could not be made to work too hard for two or three years, but they were paid There was less money to go home.

In addition, Yang Jie also decided to raise the various food, accommodation and transportation benefits for the crew to a higher level. Only when everyone eats and drinks well can they shoot more energetically.

When Yang Jie thought this way, she would never have imagined that the biggest conflict between her and the four masters and apprentices in her previous life happened to be over "money".

At that time, "Journey to the West" was not only popular in China, but also throughout Asia. So many places wanted to invite the crew of "Journey to the West" to perform.

Yang Jie saw it and thought, This is great. It can expand our influence and spread the culture of "Journey to the West" better.

So she immediately summoned the main actors of the crew to prepare to rehearse several new programs to perform with foreign audiences.

As a result, the eldest brother, second brother and third brother all asked for leave, and only Tang Seng came over honestly.

Later, someone told Yang Jie that all three of these guys had gone to the acupuncture point, that is, they had gone out to perform to make money.

This made Yang Jie so angry that when they returned to the set, they immediately started scolding them.

Originally, Yang Jie thought it was nothing. After all, the four masters and apprentices were like her children. She had taken care of and trained them along the way. Now that they had made mistakes, of course she had to take care of them.

But she didn't expect that the four Tang Seng and his disciples were no longer the unknown little actors who had just fledged to the country. They were the most popular actors in China at this time, and they were stars!

Seeing Yang Jie scolding them like this, the four of them felt very uncomfortable, and they immediately fell out with Yang Jie. The crew that went to Singapore was disbanded because of this, and Yang Jie was so angry that she became ill for several years.

This matter had to wait until many years later, because the filming of "Journey to the West Sequel" started, and the four masters and apprentices came together to apologize to Yang Jie and admit their mistakes, so that they could put their grudges away with a smile.

Why did Senior Brother and the others want to take on jobs and perform to make money?

It’s not that they are crazy about money, but that they earn dozens of yuan a month on the set of “Journey to the West”, which is not as much as a temporary worker. The most precious years have passed by and they have saved nothing. Even if it’s not for yourself, you have to think about your family!

So they took this opportunity to go out and make some money, but they never thought about falling out with Yang Jie.

Of course, many of the disputes involved were unknown to outsiders. Anyway, in that era, everyone was only thinking about how to make money, so this incident happened.

In this life, it was not Yin Jun's turn to mention Yang Jie, but she could think of it by herself. This shows that Yang Jie actually knew it well.

But in her previous life, she had no choice. She had to spend money everywhere and was short of money everywhere. How else could she save money? Isn’t it just salary and subsidies?

If you have money, who doesn’t know how to spend it?

The key is that at that time, I wanted to break a penny in half and spend it. How could I think about the personal treatment of these actors?

She is just like this, not for money, not for fame, not for profit, she just wants to make a good TV series and devotes herself wholeheartedly to it, thereby neglecting other things.

Such a pure filmmaker is certainly worthy of everyone's respect!
