Chapter 1154: A Money-Making ‘Honeymoon’
"Hello, Mr. Chen." Hong Meichen was very polite and gave Chen Hao, a man who created history for the Chinese film and television industry, enough status and respect.
"Mr. Hong, please sit down."
After the guests and hosts were seated, Hong Meichen went straight to the topic without too many polite words. She likes to control the rhythm of the conversation in her own hands. Even when she meets someone she needs to lower her profile to face, she still does not change her resolute nature. .
"Mr. Chen, regarding this planning project, our thoughts are as follows..." Hong Meichen's assistant handed the text of the planning project to Chen Hao. While he was reading, Hong Meichen said, expressing the entire core concept in words. Ways to deepen memory and pass it on.
"I won't say that our planning is unparalleled, and the program will be popular all over the world, but one thing is my confidence. With you, our entire program will be popular and make money even if it is staged. The whole planning All the puzzle designs in the case are based on one fact - truth. This is also my request for you. I hope that in addition to maintaining your own public image, you can participate in the program according to your living conditions. "
Chen Hao closed the plan and looked at Hong Meichen, who had just taken a sip of water and was about to speak: "Okay, that's it."
"Ah?" Hong Meichen was completely confused. Did he agree with several ideas?
The two people around her were in exactly the same state. They were ready to fight a protracted war and step back step by step to bear the other party's many excessive demands. However, they just told the core of the plan, and the other party nodded directly. agreed.
The two assistants didn't notice Hong Meichen's expression, or perhaps Chen Hao's answer shocked them even more, making them forget to pay attention to Master Jue's expression. If they had noticed this expression, they would have seen it in private back at the company. It was passed that Master Miejie, who had always been extremely strong and aloof, looked like a arrogant woman. At this moment, she was like a newcomer to the workplace. She did not restrain her expression and state, and others could see her in full.
"Uh, Mr. Chen, I think I need to explain something about remuneration." Hong Meichen swallowed and motioned Chen Hao to read the part about remuneration at the back of the plan.
"Just do what you said, it's very fair. I just have one request. Advertising placement, advertising sponsorship, these are your rights. You can decorate them in my room and place them. If it's food or daily necessities, I will use them. , but I won’t broadcast it abruptly.”
"That's no problem." Is this an excessive request? Not a problem at all.
For the couple, 30 million plus 3% of the advertising revenue. Chen Hao could ask for more, but that wouldn't mean much. The price they gave was considered fair in the category of 'sky-high price'. He had never been a For those of you who push your limits, show sincerity when you come to me, and I will reciprocate and be sincere with you.
At this moment, it was less than half past two. When Hong Meichen walked into Chen Hao's office and sat down, she looked at the time when she opened the plan to explain. It was two o'clock and seven, which was only twenty minutes. , the two sides had already picked up the red wine glasses, which made Hong Meichen feel that she had not used enough force this time.
When she left the Happy Reunion Era and reported the matter to the senior management, the feedback from above gave her confidence.
Cooperating with Chen Hao is a very pleasant process. He has made many friends over the years, and there are also some who have never kept in touch with each other for a long time. But even those who stopped talking or cooperated, he never said a word about them, but I will not mention it on any occasion or anywhere. According to the "homework" survey conducted by the company, the partners who are cautious in the cooperation will basically never have the opportunity to cooperate with Chen Hao. In today's society Talking about integrity and conscience is a bit nonsense. But one thing is clear to everyone. We are all smart people, and no one is a fool. We all know each other very well how you do it during the cooperation process. If you want to be cunning, I will beat you. Cooperation Even if we end all relations after one time, don’t use me as a topic to stir up trouble. I’m going to say a few bad words about you. Don’t think that you will get the effect of being scolded and becoming famous. Haomen fans will really step on you. .
If you are a film and television production company, Haomen fans will never watch any of the works your company participates in.
If you are a food company, it would be even more interesting. Haomen fans have this trick, and millions of people can really not even look at your food for several months.
You are a daily necessities company. Starting from the supermarket level, your order sales will decrease significantly year-on-year.
Hong Meichen is a smart and ambitious person. She doesn’t care too much about the gains and losses of a city or a place. To be honest, there is room for discussion about Chen Hao’s remuneration. He did not speak. Hong Meichen’s plan is All the money that can increase one's psychological price is invested in the program to increase the quality of the program.
"All members will conduct a comprehensive overhaul and make comprehensive additions. I want the quality to be satisfactory not only for the shooting, but also for all the guests when they come. All details must be paid attention to, and things such as wind and rain must be taken into consideration. , you should also know that we have talked about Chen Hao and Dilraba. Whether it is in terms of money or future prospects, this is a work experience that will be included in your professional resume. Perform well and everyone will Having a professional resume is a plus anytime in the future.”
Even Master Jiejie's face was filled with excitement, not to mention the staff below, from the layout of every wire, the adjustment of switches, to the repeated testing of every electrical appliance. The place is green and lush, and the pictures are beautiful. However, in real life, the trouble this beautiful scenery will cause, the program team spent a lot of money to deal with it to ensure that mosquitoes and other things will not enter the house.
……………………
That night, Hong Meichen hosted a dinner party. Deng Chao, Sun Li and his wife arrived in Yanjing, and Chen Jianbin and Jiang Qinqin also came as invited. Now that we are in a cooperative relationship, everything that needs to be discussed is finished, and the only thing left is to join the team and start filming.
Although Chen Hao and Dilraba are not familiar with Chen Jianbin and his wife, with the presence of Deng Chao and his wife, they are all in the same circle. Although there is a huge age difference, it does not prevent them from becoming acquaintances very smoothly.
On the way home, Xiao Di looked at Chen Hao several times.
"What, you don't know me anymore?" Chen Hao asked.
"It's a bit unbelievable. How could you accept a variety show during this time period and still shoot in such an all-round way? There are machines and cameras in every place in the house except the bathroom." Xiaodi felt that some of the novelties were quite interesting, and some When I thought about what I was worried about, he would be by my side, and I didn't worry about anything anymore.
"With so much money, I can go on vacation for free for more than ten days. I think I'm giving you a little honeymoon first. I'm also tired, so I took this opportunity to let the program team take the blame while I take a good rest. Besides, the format of the program, It’s actually quite warm and comfortable, and it’s actually quite enjoyable to think about how the two busy people can really blend into a vacation state through work.”
Xiao Di nodded and agreed. It was still lively outside. The box office of "The Embalmer" began to rise with word-of-mouth. It was only a matter of time before it broke the box office record of movies in Hong Kong and Baodao. It was released in North America for two weekends and nine days. It has a box office of over 100 million. The most unexpected thing is that the film's reputation and box office in Europe are higher than those in other regions. Some European filmmakers also have higher evaluations of this film. Frankly speaking, if it participates in the three major European movies At the film festival, Chen Hao will take home a lot of trophies again.
Chen Hao didn't understand the rules of the European film festival, and some of the restrictions annoyed him, so he never paid much attention to things like registration for the film festival here. There was someone in the company who helped him arrange and calculate. Sometimes I don’t dare to tell him that the emergence of “The Embalmer” has given the organizing committees of all film festivals in the world a clearer understanding that every year, before the registration starts and ends for the film festival, corresponding The rules will be sent to the Joyful Times Company so that more good films can participate in the selection of the film festival.
Other directors plan their time to participate in various film festivals. They will think about their own advantages and disadvantages at home, then selectively sign up for the competition, and work hard to do various marketing promotions. With Chen Hao, it's the other way around. He needs film festivals to invite him to build up his momentum. From "Forrest Gump" to "The Embalmer", two consecutive high-quality films have nothing to do with the three major European film festivals. Film festivals The people in charge of the organizing committee have begun to receive questions and criticisms from audience members, fans and some related people. Isn’t the purpose of the film festival to have the greatest influence and the most authoritative judgment? If you don’t invite the most influential people and films now, this responsibility could destroy the entire film festival’s decades of accumulation.
Xiao Di didn't need to guess what Chen Hao was facing. The various calls and invitations she received every day gave her and her management team a headache. There was a show where they took the blame, so the two of them went out to play together. When playing, you don’t have to think about where, as long as two people are together, that’s enough.
She became excited as soon as she got home. She took out her big travel suitcase and started making various preparations from the bedroom to the cloakroom and then to the living room. Halfway through folding the clothes, something suddenly occurred to her and she immediately started ordering online. The kind of intra-city delivery that arrives the next day at the latest.
Seeing her bustling about, Chen Hao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Women are all the same in this regard. Some are lazy and don't want to clean up, and some are not patient enough to clean up and are laughed at.
Chen Hao didn't remind her that when she wasn't recording the process, she could have someone help her get the things from home. Seeing how busy she was, he just smiled, got up and came to her side to help her pretend. Finally, when he saw that the two big boxes were full and there were clothes that had not been put in, he reminded the other person: "You can just put them in plastic bags in the living room. During the recording process, you can let Xiaoqiu and the others came to get it.”
"ah!"
With a low voice, Xiaodi looked like "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" and immediately ran into the cloakroom. For the new round of clothes, there was no need to worry about which ones to bring and which ones to not bring. All the clothes were put in plastic bags when they came out. The plastic seal is good, and my face is full of satisfaction.
