From poor god to richest man

Chapter 32 Son of God Film and Television Studio
"Mr. Zhen, are you interested in setting up a film and television studio?"

Shi Zhongchuan's question, like a magic voice, kept circling in Zhen Qiong's mind, and finally spiraled up, heading straight to Zhen Qiong's sky cap.

If it weren't for the presence of outsiders, Zhen Qiong would have patted his thigh and said with emotion: "Wonderful!"

Why didn't he think of it before?
Whether it is investing in movies, TV dramas, or online dramas, it is a one-shot deal, and if you lose money, you will lose once.

But if you set up a film and television studio, you still need to pay your employees even if you don't start filming.

Moreover, the film and television studio is definitely not suitable to be located in Fengming Shengjing. It needs to find another location, which is another expense.

There are also shooting equipment, which are much more expensive than computers and the like.

The more Zhen Qiong thought about it, the more he felt that this method was good, and at the same time, the more he felt that Shi Zhongchuan was a talent.

"Film studio? I'm very interested."

"If Mr. Zhen is willing to believe me, I recommend myself to be the head of the studio."

Wen Wan'er and Song Qingfeng on the side were a little surprised when they heard this.

Aren't you here to talk about investing in online dramas?How come chatting and chatting turned into opening a film and television studio?
And according to Shi Zhongchuan, he also planned to sell himself to Qiongshen.

"Director Shi, I naturally believe it, otherwise there would be no meeting today. It's just... Director Shi, you should think clearly. If you sign the contract, you will accept the management of Qiongshen and you will no longer be free."

"Mr. Zhen, to tell you the truth, there is no freedom in this line of work. When a project comes out, it's not like you have to be dictated by the capital. Changing actors and scripts is even more common."

When Zhen Qiong heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Director Shi, Qiongshen is also capital!"

"But Boss Zhen's philosophy coincides with mys! I believe that under the management of Qiongshen, I can still produce the good dramas I want!"

Shi Zhongchuan didn't know that Zhen Qiong wanted to lose money, so the dramas he wanted to invest in were the opposite of the mainstream dramas on the market today.

And this happened to hit Shi Zhongchuan's point, so Shi Zhongchuan had the illusion of seeing each other later.

But even if it is an illusion, it doesn't matter. In a sense, Zhen Qiong and the drama he wants to make are indeed the same goal by different routes.

"Okay. Since Director Shi has confidence in me, then I'm not hypocritical, and the cooperation is pleasant."

"Pleasant to work with."

After Zhen Qiong shook hands with Shi Zhongchuan, the matter was considered settled.

For the rest, just sign the contract. Wen Wan'er can take care of this trivial matter before she gets off work.

"Mr. Zhen, what's the name of the studio?" Shi Zhongchuan asked.

"Let's call it 'Son of God Film and Television Studio'! What do you think, Director Shi?"

"Does it mean Qiongshen's subsidiary company? That's really good."

As for the name of the studio, Shi Zhongchuan didn't have any requirements. He asked Zhen Qiong, but he wanted to flatter Zhen Qiong while taking advantage of the heat, and at the same time test Zhen Qiong's preferences a little.

"Mr. Zhen... that... can I also sign the Son of God?" Song Qingfeng who was on the side couldn't help asking.

He is now like a rootless duckweed, even if he can appear as the male lead of this web drama, but he really has no confidence to rise again with this web drama.

But if he can sign a contract with the Son of God, surrounded by his good brother Shi Zhongchuan, and backed by Qiongshen who is not short of money, even if he can't be as popular as before the accident, at least he can guarantee that he has no worries about food and clothing.

"can."

If other actors were signed, Zhen Qiong might still refuse, but when it came to signing Song Qingfeng, Zhen Qiong agreed without hesitation.

After all, what benefits can an outdated actor bring him?

Not only is there no income, Zhen Qiong also needs to pay him salary and benefits every month, why not do it!
"Mr. Zhen, according to your idea, I roughly calculated that the cost of one episode of this online drama is estimated to be 50 Longhuang coins." Shi Zhongchuan said.

Zhen Qiong was silent for a while, he was actually arguing with the system, he wanted to add 800 million Longhuang coins to one episode, but the system issued a stern warning.

Let Zhen Qiong completely dispel this idea.

But how could Zhen Qiong give in easily? If he couldn't increase the cost of each episode, wouldn't it be enough for him to shoot a few more episodes?

"You plan to make twelve episodes of this drama, right?"

"Yes."

"This is not good. You can see that there are more than twelve stores worth visiting just around Fenghuang Shengjing. So what I mean is that we use twelve episodes as a season. Let's shoot three seasons first to test the waters."

"Huh? Boss Zhen, isn't this a bit too risky?"

In Shi Zhongchuan's view, shooting twelve episodes to test the waters is already very risky. If three seasons are shot in one go, based on 600 million Longhuang coins for one season, it will be 800 million.

The cost of investing 800 million to test whether such a web drama can be successful is simply too high.

"Be confident. This is a show that both you and I agree with. The chances of success are very high."

Having said that, Zhen Qiong leaned back on the sofa, gently squeezed the thumb of his left hand, and said, "It doesn't matter even if I fail, I didn't make this show to make money, and it doesn't matter even if I lose money, I just want to , so that everyone can have a good drama to watch when they want to relax."

"So, don't have any pressure on making money. Just focus on making the show well. If you don't have enough money, tell me. Anyway, apart from presenting the show perfectly, Qiongshen will take care of everything else."

Hearing this, Shi Zhongchuan and Song Qingfeng couldn't help but straighten their spines, and said with burning eyes: "President Zhen, don't worry, we will definitely make this drama well."

"Very good. Then... "The Lonely Gourmet" is officially established. After you finish the contract, don't rush to leave. Let's have a meal together tonight. I will pay the bill. It will be regarded as a welcome banquet. You are welcome to join Qiongshen. extended family."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhen."

Originally, when asking for investment, the director usually treated the guests to dinner, but now Shi Zhongchuan and Song Qingfeng sold themselves to Qiong Shen.

Their own boss wants to treat guests to dinner, how dare they overwhelm the host?

Wen Wan'er's efficiency was as fast as ever, and she had all the contracts and other matters settled before leaving get off work.

Although there are only Shi Zhongchuan and Song Qingfeng in the Son of God film and television studio, Shi Zhongchuan said that he can recruit his old brothers.

Song Qingfeng also knew people, so they could set up the studio team without Qiong Shen having to worry about it.

When introducing Shi Zhongchuan and Song Qingfeng to the staff, everyone was very enthusiastic.

Xiaopang also secretly found Shi Zhongchuan, and secretly asked if he could be given a role, even if it was a trick, or even without a line, as long as he showed his face.

Before Shi Zhongchuan responded, Xiao Pang was dragged away by Lu Yufeng. He had limited working hours every day, yet he dared to be lazy. Do you really dislike your salary?
"Master Lu, thank you for sending a message to Assistant Wen before, otherwise we would have to wait for half an hour."

After dragging Xiaopang back to his work station, Shi Zhongchuan took the initiative to thank Lu Yufeng.

"Director Shi is very polite, but it's just a small matter."

"Lu Zhuce, in fact, if you want to make guest appearances in the play, there is no problem at all."

"Director Shi, you don't have to take what Panda (Xiao Pang) said to you. How can we laymen make trouble for you?"

When Lu Yufeng asked Zhen Qiong about the budget before, he heard a famous line from a certain Olympic-awarded movie coming out of Zhen Qiong's computer.

He did not think that Zhen Qiong was fishing for money at work, but speculated that Zhen Qiong might have some plans for the film industry.

Sure enough, the Son of God film and television studio was established today.

While lamenting Zhen Qiong's swift and resolute actions, Lu Yufeng was even more convinced that Zhen Qiong was playing a big game of chess.

As the first work of the Son of God film and television studio, it must be the most important thing. It is related to whether it can make the Son of God, and even Qiongshen's reputation in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, even if Lu Yufeng had a lot of interest in guest appearances, he still didn't dare to drag Shi Zhongchuan down.

Otherwise, he is a sinner of Qiongshen and will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

"Don't be nervous, Chief Lu. "The Lonely Gourmet" is a unit drama, and each episode requires a different number of extras. As the saying goes, the good news should not go to outsiders."

"And our Qiongshen's employees are all handsome men and beautiful women. If they make guest appearances, they can also add a lot to this drama."

Lu Yufeng was indeed a little moved, but he still clearly distinguished his job from his interests, so he said, "I have to ask Mr. Zhen about this matter, and see how to arrange the time."

"Don't bother, I approve." Zhen Qiong's voice came from the side, making Lu Yufeng startled.
