Chapter 466 Chapter 204 Don't Turn Back

Huaxia TV Station, Deputy Director's Office.

Feng Yumin knocked on the door, went in, saw Master Zhao looking down, and asked, "Is Zhao Tai busy?"

Zhao Bingyuan looked up and saw him, "Oh, Lao Feng is here, sit down, sit down! Wait a minute, I'll finish reading this document. If you want to drink water, pour it yourself, there is tea beside it."

Feng Yumin nodded, "Hey, you go ahead, don't worry about me, I'm not in a hurry."

Zhao Bingyuan then lowered his head to look at the documents, while Feng Yumin sat down on the sofa and continued to think about how to explain this matter later.

After a full six or seven minutes, Zhao Bingyuan finished reading the document, and began to scribble and write there. After finishing writing, he pressed the call button on the phone, called the secretary in, handed over the document, and said, "Tell them that you are not qualified. Call back and rewrite!"

Accompanied by the secretary, he carefully picked up the documents and exited the office.

Only then did Zhao Bingyuan look at Feng Yumin in the mood, and without getting up, he just leaned on the back of the boss chair, played with the signature pen in his hand, and said with a smile: "Why, what's the matter? Look at your sad face, Didn’t one of the following groups make trouble for you again?”

Feng Yumin smiled, "That's not true."

To be honest, Zhao Bingyuan climbed to the position of deputy director at the age of forty-two, and he directly grasped the top TV series and movies. Including major dramas such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he is indeed capable of what a man can't do. Everyone on stage is in awe of him.

However, Feng Yumin, as a veteran of the station, is also a character of the Beidou level in domestic TV dramas. Zhao Bingyuan can not pretend to be polite to others, but he has always respected Feng Yumin very much.

Moreover, with Feng Yumin's qualifications over the years, let alone Zhao Bingyuan as a deputy director, if he really got into a fight, he would not even give him the face of the director, and no one would dare to do anything to him.

It's just that, that's the way it is said, if a person wants to be tough, he must first do the things in his hands with toughness, but the problem is that the things in his hands are obviously messed up.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'm afraid the matter about "Legend of the New White Snake" is obscene."

Zhao Bingyuan originally had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but froze when he heard the words, his brows were furrowed immediately, "Yellow?"

With a swipe, he sat up straight, frowned tightly, and looked at Feng Yumin with a puzzled expression, "How could it be yellow? He doesn't want to modify it? Or does he think the money is too little?"

Feng Yumin hesitated for a moment, and said, "There are all of them."

The pen in Zhao Bingyuan's hand swung around twice, then put it on the table with a snap, stood up, walked back and forth a few steps behind the desk, and said, "Didn't you tell him thoroughly? This is his first book. Even though he is a star himself, right? If he becomes a director, the film will have a certain appeal, but after all, he is just starting to do it, it is only the first film, for him For him, the most important thing is not to make money, but to prove himself! If you get it broadcast on Huaxia Channel and send it to other channels, the effect will be completely different. It will affect his future director career and investment career. It will have a huge impact!"

After a pause, he turned his head to look at Feng Yumin, and asked, "You didn't tell him about this?"

Feng Yumin smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said: "Zhao Tai, you don't know, Li Qian is the kind of person who doesn't need you to talk nonsense at all. He is very smart and very sophisticated. Wan Wan, he is very clear. I can tell you this, when he sent the film to me as soon as possible, he was concerned about the conditions that our station might offer and the pros and cons of sending it here. , he's already thought it through."

Zhao Bingyuan's eyes flickered when he heard this, and then his face quickly returned to calm. He went back and sat down, picked up the signature pen on the table, turned it slowly twice, and asked calmly: "So, since he is such a smart person, it means that he would rather give up such a one-shot fame. I want to earn a little more money if I have the opportunity? Is this also called a smart person?"

After a pause, he smiled, "Besides, if he puts it on another channel, although he can still sell the second and third rounds, he may not be able to sell more money, right? The first broadcast is not expensive, and it is expected to sell the second round." How much can you sell for the second round?"

Feng Yumin remained silent.

After a pause, Zhao Bingyuan smiled, and said, "I know you two are friends who have been friends for a long time. Then let's open the skylight and tell the truth. Just tell the truth, how much he wants, or what conditions are there!"

Feng Yumin opened his mouth, but hesitated for a moment before saying, "Now, I'm afraid it's not a matter of how much money or what conditions. He has brought someone over himself just now, and took away the master tape for printing."

Zhao Bingyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then a sharp light flashed in his eyes instantly!

"Take it away? In other words, you don't even have to talk about it?"

Feng Yumin said: "That's not necessarily true. However, when he came, he sat in my office for a while, and what he said was very heartfelt. He said that he spent a lot of effort on this play, no If you are willing to sell it so cheaply..."

With anger on his face, Zhao Bingyuan snorted coldly and said, "Cheap? 20 million to buy out a play, is it still called cheap?"

Feng Yumin raised his head and frowned slightly. He was obviously dissatisfied with Zhao Bingyuan's tone, and couldn't help but argue: "But he invested a total of 35 million in this play! Even if it sells for 34 million, it's still a loss." !"

Zhao Bingyuan smiled when he heard the words, he didn't know whether he was happy or angry, he waved his hand and said, "Thirty-five million? That's a cover! These days, who doesn't brag a little, saying it's thirty-five million, but in fact it's , I estimate around 20 million, that's about the same!"

Feng Yumin also smiled when he heard the words, but said with great certainty: "For the outside world, he may blow a little bit, but I still know who he is in the past two years between the two of us. Already, as long as you tell me with your own mouth, you will never lie."

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, you have seen the movie. To be honest, even if it is not up to the level of a movie, let's ignore the story and characters and not talk about it. We just talk about the picture and the special effects. It can be seen that it really took a lot of effort! It is said that just for the special effects of this film, he spent 30 million in it and set up a special effects studio! You can see that he has a deep love for this film in his heart. How important it is! So, this is what we do, we are not laymen, we can tell at a glance, just look at the level of the picture and the level of special effects, I think you should also know in your heart, 35 million, there should be no lie of!"

Hearing this, Zhao Bingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him, but soon, he looked away again, thought for a while, and said: "He told you very heartfeltly? Can you tell me, what did you say to you?" ?”

Feng Yumin smiled and said, "He said that when the film was delivered, he was already mentally prepared to lose money. He also said that if the station could give even 30 million yuan at the beginning, then he would pay for it." He would rather lose 5 million yuan, or take advantage of our station to ignite the fire, but 20 million yuan, and it must be a package buyout, without even talking about the premiere rights, this is really unacceptable to him."

Zhao Bingyuan turned the signature pen in his hand vigorously after hearing the words, but did not speak.

Feng Yumin looked up at him, saw that he didn't respond, and continued: "In addition, he insisted that those arias are the biggest feature of this TV series, and he can't accept those arias being cut. So... Heh, people who are engaged in art, I understand this, and you should understand it too, right?"

Zhao Bingyuan smiled, "Understand! Understood!" Then he stopped talking.

Papapa, the secretary knocked on the door, pushed the door open and came in, "Director, the time for the meeting is almost here, you should..."

Zhao Bingyuan waved his hand without waiting for her to finish speaking, "Tell them to delay for twenty minutes!"

His voice was a bit loud, and there was a hint of anger, which startled the secretary. Hearing this, he quickly agreed, closed the door, and left.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the office became a little stiff.

Feng Yumin lowered his head and said nothing, while Zhao Bingyuan played with the signature pen in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he let out a breath slowly and said, "Old Feng, we have been partners for several years, and I want to hear you tell me the truth."

Feng Yumin raised his head and smiled, "Of course! You know me, and I never lie."

Zhao Bingyuan laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "That's right, you, I can still trust you!... Then, tell me, as a director, and you are also the leading director of our domestic TV series, yes What do you think of this TV show?"

Feng Yumin pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and said: "The first day I watched the movie, I told you at the time that Qian's talent is really surprising everywhere! Although it is the first movie, I didn't see it at all. The jerkyness of a rookie director."

"From the perspective of the story, there are beginnings, transitions, and climaxes. It should be suppressed or exploded. It is easy to control. The book he wrote is very good in itself, and the cutting in the later stage is also very skillful. "

"Then, the character creation, I don't need to say more, when you watched the film, didn't you also say that the character of Bai Suzhen is simply the Chinese people's inner desire and praise for female beauty, to the extreme, it is simply a benchmark level. Then, Xiaoqing, Xu Xian, as a foil, are well shaped. And then, the control of the picture... Needless to say."

"So I said, from my personal point of view, when I first saw this book, I personally liked it very much. I was really afraid that he would be blinded if he just got started. At that time, I really wanted to buy it for him. I Come to shoot, but looking at it now, I may not be able to shoot better than him!"

While he was talking, Zhao Bingyuan nodded. When he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said: "So, according to your experience, since this drama is so good, as long as it is released, it will be popular?"

Feng Yumin hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and said with a wry smile: "This Haikou, I really don't dare to boast! You also know that the two films I worked on last year both failed, and the ratings... Hey, anyway, I can only Let me tell you, I am very optimistic about this drama, and how will the audience react after it starts broadcasting... To be honest, after the two dramas last year, I feel a little confused about what the audience likes to watch!"

"For example, the "Tokyo Love Story" you introduced, in my opinion, it is the simplest idol drama, that is, the actors are more beautiful, and I really don't see anything else. The bright spot comes, but once you introduce it, it will be a big hit!"

After a pause, he continued: "So, even though I've been in this business longer than you, when it comes to watching movies now, I'm not as good as you!"

Zhao Bingyuan smiled, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "You just said that Li Qian is a smart person, right?"

Feng Yumin nodded.

Zhao Bingyuan lowered his head, as if he had experienced a moment of inner struggle, then raised his head again, and said resolutely: "Tell him for me, 25 million, no more! His talk show, wrapped in me, I let him appear on three sets of programs, even if I can't get the Saturday and Sunday slots, I will get him Friday night!"

Feng Yumin was stunned for a moment, coughed softly, and said, "Zhao Tai, you have never dealt with Li Qian, so you may not know him well."

When Zhao Bingyuan heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of dissatisfaction flashed across his face, and he said with a smile: "Oh? So... can't you take it off? Can't this work?"

After a pause, Feng Yumin said: "He is... how can I tell you, he is such a person! Since he has already told me the bottom price in his mind before coming here, then let alone 25 million, even It was you who gave him the bottom price in his heart, and he will not look back. Now, if you really like this TV series in your heart and want to take it over, I'm afraid you really have to consider increasing the price for him."

Zhao Bingyuan smiled when he heard the words, "I can't get 30 million? Heh... According to you, he is still a donkey? I would rather sell it to those provincial TV stations for a premiere broadcast of 5.8 million, and never look back ?”

Feng Yumin smiled, "I'm afraid so."

Zhao Bingyuan withdrew his gaze, with imperceptible anger in his eyes. But after a pause, he still had a smile on his face. He raised his head, looked at Feng Yumin, and said with a smile, "Then, old Feng, what do you think should be done? Or, we don't want this drama?"

Feng Yumin thought for a while, and said: "Zhao Tai, to tell you the truth, this boss is you, and it's my job, and the other boss is my good friend. I really don't want to get involved in this matter." Yes. But, speaking of this, I can actually see that you are actually quite optimistic about this film. Or... so! He cost 35 million, and you add 100 to him 10,000! Thirty-six million, I don't care where he is now, or how good he has been in contact with other stations, I'll go all out with this old face, and I will definitely bring you back this drama, you see , is it done?"

Zhao Bingyuan smiled when he heard the words, and his brain turned his head. Facing Feng Yumin's expectant eyes, he said, "Thirty-six million...hahaha! Hit, 25 million, plus that show, if he agrees or not, let him go!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored the astonishment on Feng Yumin's face, and continued directly: "Okay, I'm going to a meeting, this matter, let's leave it at that, okay?"

Feng Yumin understood that if the leader said so, it was tantamount to an order to expel the guests.

After hesitating for a while, he finally stood up, nodded, and said, "All right, I'll call him later and see what he has to say, and I'll call you back."

Zhao Bingyuan smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Old Feng."

Feng Yumin smiled, turned around and left.

As soon as the office door was closed, Zhao Bingyuan couldn't bother to hide his anger any longer. He clenched his fist, wishing he could smash it on the table, and finally retracted it, but angrily pushed away the chair and stood up, walked two steps, snorted coldly, He murmured: "It seems that the kid spent a lot of money, this is really hard work! It's still thirty-six million, hehe...huh!"

After venting for a while, he turned around and sat down again. After thinking for a long time, he slapped his palm on the table lightly, and said with a sneer, "This old Feng, it seems that he is not very useful! Eating things that I value so much is in vain. you!"

…………

When Feng Yumin's call came in, Qi Jie was reporting the negotiation situation to Li Qian.

Taking out the phone to check the number, Li Qian signaled Qi Jie to stop for a while, and then connected the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Feng Yumin sighed a little, "Actually, I know that this call must be for nothing, but because of my duty, I must ask you. Our Director Zhao said, 25 million, plus help you get that The first talk show fell to the third program, at least I will try to arrange it until Friday night... that's all, can you give me a call back?"

Li Qian didn't say a word for a long time. On the other end of the phone, Feng Yumin even wondered if Li Qian was listening to the phone, and then he heard Li Qian suddenly say: "Brother Feng, did you make things difficult for you?"

On the other end of the phone, Feng Yumin was stunned for a moment, and then, although he really had gone through too many things at his age, at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel a heat in his heart.

After a pause, he said: "Hey, don't mention it, it's meaningless to mention that. If it's too bad in the future, if I go to your place, can you give me a bowl of rice? Besides, I haven't reached that point yet! I just It's just passing a message in the middle, and you still expect me to help you ask him for a price? You have a good idea, don't forget, I am not on the same side as you!"

Li Qian smiled and wanted to explain a few words, but in the end, he simply said: "You understand, I will not turn back."

"Yeah. I know." After a pause, Feng Yumin said, "Well, that's it, I'll call you back!"

After finishing speaking, he thought for a while, but then said: "That day when Lao Fang came to the station to make a show, I just happened to meet him and chatted for a while. You are a senior brother who highly respects you. It is said that your drama studies Well done? How are you, when are you going to make your debut on stage?"

Li Qian smiled and said: "My elder brother thinks that the family should not be publicized. In fact, I have half a bottle of water, how dare I go on stage!"

Feng Yumin laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Come on, let's have a drink together later."

Li Qian smiled and said, "Okay, let's make an appointment later."

After hanging up the phone, Li Qian was silent for a moment with a complicated expression.

But in the end, he just sighed helplessly, then raised his head, and said to Qi Jie, "Go on, what did you just say?"

Qi Jie said: "Speaking of which, Hunan Satellite TV didn't get much rumors, but they actually called and said they wanted to arrange for someone to come over to watch the film."
