When Careeraholic Meets Workaholic

This time, it started directly from Bai Lian falling to the ground.The man no longer tried to press the base of his tongue, but scratched his neck, and the erupted veins disappeared, only his eyes were covered with tears, which were flushed red from the bloodshot eyes.

He raised his head, holding back his tears, and his thick eyebrows frowned into the shape of a mountain. He obviously looked fragile and painful, but there was a light shining in the eyes that were trying to open wide.

Looking at the close-up face on the screen, Zhou Yao raised his brows slightly.

It's really handsome, and not so annoying.It’s not that Bai Lian’s previous performance was wrong, it’s just that there is a gap between reality and filming. The shocking part on the big screen is not suitable for TV dramas, and it’s still a TV drama that needs actors’ looks to support them. Simply put, as long as they are handsome Just the right acting.

Seeing this, Zhou Yao was very glad that he stood his ground and stood firmly on Mei Guangxuan's side, not only to ensure Mei Guangxuan's unshakable position in the crew, but also because he really didn't know how to act.

The second time, after Bai Lian no longer tried to be truthful, he successfully passed this one.

Afterwards, Director Mei added some close-ups, and the props team entered the scene to change the scenery.

Tables, chairs and benches were placed in the room that was easy to splice as required. More than a dozen middle-aged men were busy in the studio, but within ten minutes, the scene of a hospital ward appeared in front of us.

The heroine Liu Tian, ​​wearing a goose yellow dress and holding a bouquet of red roses in her arms, walked into the set and into the camera at the same time.

"My goddess!"

Zhou Yao was startled by a sudden sound behind him. Looking back, Diao Dian didn't know when he came, squatting on the ground to look around.

Looking at each other, Diao Dian grinned: "This dress is very suitable for my goddess. It is pure and charming, beautiful and elegant."

Zhou Yao frowned, lowered his voice and asked, "When did you come?"

"Just came." Diao Dian also answered in a low voice.

"Come here for what?"

"Look at my goddess."

"..."

When the heroine sees her unconscious lover in the hospital, her smile gradually fades away, her eyes are quickly covered with a thin layer of mist, her distressed emotions are palpable, and there is still love in her eyes that cannot be hidden.

She put the roses in her bosom into the vase, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and left a forbearing and strong back in the picture.

When Diao Dian saw this, he held his heart together: "It's worth dying for her to look at you like this." After a pause, seeing that Zhou Yao didn't look back, he asked, "How are you and Xiaobai doing?"

Zhou Yao replied without turning his head: "It's all okay."

"When are you not busy and come out to play together?"

"can."

After a pause, he asked slyly, "Sold the house?"

This time Zhou Yao turned his head, and saw Diao Dian squatting on the ground with his head up, looking at him like a puppy, his eyes full of worry.

Zhou Yao couldn't sit still anymore. He got up and pulled Diao Dian out of the studio. The two got into Diao Dian's car and drove to the city. Along the way, Diao Dian asked him about selling the house, and said that he wanted to sell the house. There is still a way to collect some money, but it is a pity that the housing market is just sold now...

Finally said: "Otherwise, you can live with me. I have a house in the suburbs, and I have access to the subway. It only takes more than half an hour to go to your company."

Judging by the appearance of this old lady, she didn't come here to see the "goddess", she came here because she was worried about him.

Zhou Yao only reassured him. Since he posted the news on Weibo yesterday, he also contacted the real estate agent today. The other party also complained to him about the explosive increase in workload. He ran to his house early in the morning. The three salesmen were non-stop, and the entire company It's all calls to come in to see the house.

2000 million house, no worries about selling.

"It sounds good, but it hurts a bit." Diao Dian said while waiting for the takeaway, "You said you, you even lost your place to live, the worst producer of the year."

Zhou Yao smiled and didn't reply. He just waited for the takeaway to be packed and helped the staff to carry it into the car.

Go home.

Today, the investor treated guests to dinner and bought twenty chickens in one go. He also improved the food.

Diao Dian has always been generous in spending money, paid the bill and worked as a driver, traveling half a city back to "Skywalker Studios".

The cinema is very large. There are eight studios in the suburbs of City A, and there are some simple exteriors. There may be several crews filming at the same time, and there are also some traffic stars.

Zhou Yao came out from the parking lot with a box of lunch, and before he reached the studio, he was bumped by Diao Dian, and motioned, "What is the next door shooting?"

""Great Qin Dynasty"."

"Ah! I know, Father Yang's own son."

Zhou Yao nodded. The big stage and the big company co-produced large-scale historical dramas in historical costumes. The actors were all national-level actors. Every day, a set of custom-made costumes were pushed into the studio. Compared with the other side, their crew is completely pitiful. .

At this moment, a person came out from the studio next door, wearing black clothes embroidered with dragon totems, and a bright yellow tassel curtain on his head. As his figure appeared, both of them's eyes lit up.

"Qin Shihuang!?" Diao Dian was abducting Zhou Yao again, "It's Tang Ze!"

Zhou Yao squinted against the light and saw Qin Shihuang standing under the tree, lighting a cigarette for himself, and puffing.

"..."

This picture is quite timeless.

Zhou Yao is not good at interpersonal communication, but it is just the opposite. People he doesn't know can chat for a long time, not to mention Tang Ze, who grew up watching him play, took out a lunch box and ran around past.

With such a distance, Zhou Yao was a little embarrassed.

But the demeanor of the old artist was very good. After being stunned for a moment, he took Diao Dian's lunch box with both hands, and the two chatted. Then Zhou Yao saw Diao Dian turned his head and pointed at himself, Tang Ze was still facing him Laughed a bit.

Seeing this, Zhou Yao had no choice but to walk over.

Tang Ze is really a very famous actor in Huaguo, and he has broken away from the so-called "flow", which is synonymous with acting skills.Ever since Zhou Yao was sensible, he had watched his plays, all of which were leading actors, big productions, fans spanning three generations, old, middle-aged and young, and in the entire Hua Kingdom, except for ignorant children, there was no one who did not know him.

Zhou Yao stretched out his hand and said, "Hi, Mr. Tang, I'm Zhou Yao."

"Hello Mr. Zhou." Tang Ze smiled and shook Zhou Yao's hand.

The two exchanged polite greetings, all of which were occasional, if they hadn't been a little talkative, they would have looked at each other in embarrassment soon, waiting for the director to call, Tang Ze left, and Zhou Yao sighed softly in his heart.

Now that I have entered this circle, I still have to work hard to get rid of my bad words. After all, this circle is not small, and sometimes favors are more important than money.

Zhou Yao went back after having lunch in the crew. He stayed to watch the filming of "Goddess". Zhou Yao, who was concentrating on coding, thought that it was over when he met Tang Ze. He never expected that within two days, Tang Ze would take the initiative found him.

Early in the morning, Zhou Yao was still in bed when he was woken up by Jin Yi's phone call, saying, "We'll be filming location scenes in two days. The finance side has done some calculations. We don't have much money."

When money was mentioned, Zhou Yao woke up, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Got it."

Jin Yi reminded: "Although you have to pay your salary at the end of the month, it's okay to press it down. You don't have to worry too much."

"Thank you, leave this to me."

Zhou Yao hung up the phone and planned to call the real estate agent. There are really many people looking at the house these days. 2000 million, Zhou Yao originally planned to wait, but now he is in a hurry to spend the money, and only the highest bidder will get it.

But just after hanging up the real estate agent's phone, an unfamiliar number called in. Zhou Yao answered the phone and said hello.

"Hi Mr. Zhou, I'm Tang Ze, I would like to make a phone call to confirm if you have a house for sale."

Hearing the vaguely familiar voice next to his ear, the last bit of sleepiness in Zhou Yao's mind disappeared.

When I saw Tang Ze again, I was still in the studio, but this time Mr. Tang didn’t wear a yellow robe, but wore everyday clothes and waved to him from the car. The sense of distance when I saw him two days ago disappeared, and he was very affectionate .

"Here, Mr. Zhou!"

"Teacher Tang." Zhou Yao sat in the co-pilot, he didn't have the ability to get acquainted with people so quickly, and his tone was respectful.

Tang Ze smiled: "I asked you to come here to talk about the house, but there is no need to be so urgent. Thank you for inviting me to lunch two days ago. Today, we will reciprocate and chat slowly."

Zhou Yao smiled: "Then thank you in advance."

The two left in the same car. It was just around lunch time, and people from various studios came out to "release the air". For a while, I don't know how many people saw the two leaving together.

"Who did Teacher Tang go out with?"

"Mr. Zhou still knows Mr. Tang?"

With such a few words of emotion, someone had a big brainstorm, "You say, if Teacher Tang joins our drama, it will be okay."

Is it okay?

You are so beautiful!

A national first-class actor, actor-level character will join you in the filming, let alone a cameo, even if you offer the leading actor with both hands, they will not be willing.

That's Father Yang's dear son!

Here Tang Ze drove Zhou Yao into the urban area, and drove into a private kitchen restaurant not far from Zhou Yao's home. The two sat down in the private room, and then turned to the topic.

Tang Ze said: "My daughter recently returned to China, and I plan to buy her a house in the city center. In fact, I have been picking a house for a long time. Your house is in line with my wishes regardless of the location and the type of apartment, but the house price is indeed expensive. I said The price in your heart, 1800, won't let you lose money, how about it?"

"Yes." Zhou Yao replied.

Tang Ze, who was about to "bargain the price", almost lost his breath, and then said with a smile, "Why do you feel like you've lost money? Are you really selling?"

"Sell." Zhou Yao said, "The main thing is to get to know you."

Tang Ze looked at him deeply, and then laughed: "Tell me, if there is anything I can do for you, as long as it's suitable, it's fine."

"I want to make an appointment with you for a role in advance. I won't let you help me for nothing. The salary I should give is quite a bit. I hope that when I find you, you will be given priority."

"200 million, buy a promise?"

"Correct."

Tang Ze looked at Zhou Yao and suddenly asked, "By the way, do you have a girlfriend?"

"..."

"My daughter has just returned to China. I hope she will meet more young talents and make an appointment to have dinner together later."

"Okay." Zhou Yao smiled and did not refuse. It seemed like a "blind date meal", but in fact it meant getting to know more friends. Zhou Yao was eager to broaden his network, so he was willing to participate in such an invitation.

The matter of the house was settled unexpectedly.

In the afternoon Zhou Yao took Tang Ze to his home, Tang Ze looked at the environment in the house and nodded: "That's good, I heard that you earned all of these by yourself. I was not as good as you back then, and I will be awesome later on."

Zhou Yao worked hard to learn "commercial mutual praise", "Your achievements are the direction of my hard work. In my heart, you are the greatest actor."

Tang Ze could see that Zhou Yao was not good at this kind of thing, so what he said was more sincere. I don't know how many people praised his achievements in this life, but Zhou Yao's short sentence made him feel very comfortable. As soon as he moved, he made a move for him: "Your drama is already being filmed, has the distribution and promotion kept up with it? You have to wait until the drama is almost filmed before thinking about distribution. I'm afraid it will affect your capital chain. Don't stay in the house all the time, go out more often, you can't avoid some interpersonal entertainment."

"Thank you, Mr. Tang." Zhou Yao has been educated, and he will not regret his decision to sell the house at a lower price, so that the elderly with status and knowledge in the circle can't be found, and just a word is worth a thousand dollars.

……

This morning, Zhou Yao's studio.

When Finance Sister Liu went to Jinyi's office, she happened to pass by the boss's office, and she couldn't help but look into the room. She seemed to be able to see the boss sitting behind the desk expressionlessly typing on the keyboard, while Bai Lian was sitting there. The scene where the lines are read leisurely on the high stool.

When the two were alone, even with the door open, there was still an atmosphere that could not be easily disturbed. The entire office area seemed to be infected, covered with pink bubbles.

Pity.

After starting up, most of the people in the company went to the production crew to help, the handsome big boss couldn't come, and the eye-catching signing artists couldn't see, the office was quiet and even a little lonely.

I don't know if I can see this scene in the future.

After walking past Mr. Zhou's office, he arrived at Jin Yi's office. Jin Yi is now also the title of production director, so she has to go to her for everything big and small.Finance Sister Liu knocked on the door, entered the room, and said, "Do I need to make a salary statement for this month? Once the salary is paid, there will be no enough money, and the location will not be released."

Jin Yi looked at his phone, pressed his fingers between his eyebrows, and said, "You make the payroll, but pay a wager first, to ensure that the filming on the crew side goes smoothly."

"No need to bet."

Just as they were talking, a voice came from behind them, and the two turned their heads to look, only to see the cool and handsome big boss walking in.

Zhou Yao walked to the desk, handed the bank card prepared in advance to Jin Yi, and said, "500 million, save it."

Jin Yi's eyes lit up: "The house is sold?"

Zhou Yao smiled and nodded.

Jin Yi took the bank card and smiled happily, looked it over and over several times, and said, "Mr. Zhou is really courageous, such a good house, I really sold it." Then he put the bank card into the financial account of Sister Liu. Palm of the hand, smiled happily: "Make the salary table, pay the salary!"

Sister Liu was also happy. No one saw that Qian was unhappy, so she walked around with a smile on her card and said, "Mr. Zhou is the most handsome, I love you more than my heart."

Zhou Yao was teased by the two women, and his heart felt relieved after talking about it for a few days.

Jin Yi's purse was full, and she happily went to the set. Zhou Yao didn't wait for a while, and received a call from his grandfather, saying that he was going to visit Grandpa Liu's house.

It was very lonely for Mr. Zhou to hold the money and not be able to give it to his obedient grandson, but his grandson always needs to support his career, so he mobilized his contacts to inquire about the film and television industry, chatted around, and finally had to find that old man Liu.

It's really interlaced like a mountain. If you don't inquire, you don't know. When you inquire, you will be shocked. Who is old man Liu?

Liu Wei.

A well-known film investor in the film and television industry. Some of the films he invested won the annual box office championship, and some won the best film award at foreign film festivals. He suffered losses and made big profits. Although he has retired for several years, But he is still a very famous "grandfather" in the circle.

Mr. Zhou said: "Old man, my grandson is filming, do you know?"

Old man Liu said: "I know, didn't you ask me for morning tea? I also said that it is difficult to change dramas on the Internet now, and it doesn't make money."

"You old man! If you don't make money, you can find a way for me!"

"It's your grandson and not my grandson. What can I do? Are you too tired to panic?"

Later, Mr. Zhou called Zhou Yao and said, "Be sweeter when we meet, and call Grandpa. Don't be shy. A step by step guided by the seniors in the circle is better than ten years of working behind closed doors. When you are young, you have to learn more and ask more questions." Please ask me more, do you know?"

no way.

Under the urging of his grandfather, Zhou Yao had no choice but to go out again, and went to Grandpa Liu's house with a basket of fruit.

Zhou Yao was not born to be eloquent, and after so many years of writing online articles, he has long been autistic.But the reality forced him to go out and make more useful human relationships.

Filming a drama depends on the content to win?

When he was reborn and came back, Zhou Yao was so naive, but the longer he worked in this industry, the more he became clear that "content" only accounted for a part, "publicity" was not enough, qualifications were not good enough, and the audience couldn't even do it. And how do you see "content".

Who can I learn from at this time?

It's not Tang Ze, their relationship hasn't reached that level yet.

It wasn't Jin Yi either, she was indeed familiar with this line of work, but her position was too low, and she simply didn't have the ability to gain access to high-level resources.

So Grandpa Liu recommended by his grandfather really pushed Zhou Yao into his heart.

Grandpa Liu also lives in the city center, and the location is not cheap. When Zhou Yao found someone, he was downstairs playing with his granddaughter.

The little girl and her friends were playing house games. Zhou Yao and Grandpa Liu sat on a bench under the shade of a tree and lit a cigarette for him. The old man stared at him and smiled: " Knowing that it is right to come to me, the last time I saw you, I couldn't hold back the murderous aura, but this time when we meet again, your face finally calmed down."

Zhou Yao smiled. He is still full of murderous intent, but he just learned to hide it.

Grandpa Liu said again: "I have also paid attention to your news during this time, and read your novels on the Internet. You see, at my age, I wear reading glasses, and I read your books in my hands in the middle of the night. , am I easy me?"

Zhou Yao was amused: "You use your mobile phone to listen to books. It doesn't hurt your eyes, just use your ears."

"And this thing?"

"Yes." Zhou Yao smiled, downloaded the listening software on Grandpa Liu's mobile phone, put the book he found in the favorites, and patiently taught him step by step, before handing the phone back.

Grandpa Liu smiled with his mobile phone, pinched his cigarette butt and said, "Go to Haishi with me the day after tomorrow. Your grandpa came to me a few days ago, so I asked the strange director Huang to have dinner. Let's not care whether this show will be available or not." Star, but you must at least have a place to broadcast it. You should think ahead whether it will be authorized by the entire network or exclusive broadcast. Then you can negotiate with people. By the way, don’t forget to bring the pilot film, take all the good things Come out, the more dazzling the better, you know?"

"Understood, Grandpa Liu!" Zhou Yao nodded with a smile and agreed.

"By the way, I remember that you just started the machine not long ago. Have you made a pilot film yet?" Grandpa Liu asked worriedly.

"Yes." Zhou Yao replied firmly.

Only 20 days after the filming of this film, Zhou Yao burned more than 100 million yuan. Where did the money go, it was invested in the pilot film.

As we all know, post-production special effects are particularly costly, not to mention that Zhou Yao's play is a fantasy work, without excellent special effects support, it is just a web-reformed thunder drama.

In order to give confidence to the audience and himself, Zhou Yao spared no expense to make a 10-minute pilot film, which should be cut and deleted and divided into three parts and posted on the Internet separately, but this time it will be shown to the platform, of course it must be all content.

Grandpa Liu was curious: "Show me."

Zhou Yao shook his head: "It's not on the phone, let's watch it together on the platform later."

"No, you have to let me know what's going on?"

"It's not bad." Zhou Yao thought about the picture he was expecting, and compared the effect of the leading film, he could only say that it was not a [-]-cent special effect, and he could still watch it.

Grandpa Liu looked at him deeply: "Trust me once, just don't embarrass my old face."

Zhou Yao said cautiously, "I'll go back and confirm again later."

The more Grandpa Liu listened, the more confused he became: "Oh, I feel like I've fallen into a trap."

When Zhou Yao went back, he booked not only two tickets, but five tickets in total. He and Grandpa Liu, plus Jin Yi, Director Mei, and Bai Lian, brought his entire core team.

If you feel that you can't do it alone, you can find more companions to come over. Bai Lian is used to seduce the eyes, Director Mei is used to explain the details, Jin Yi can adjust the atmosphere, plus myself and Grandpa Liu, this meeting will not be bad. .

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and just before boarding the plane, Zhou Yao got the last edited video from the special effects company, looked at it casually, turned off his phone, and soon arrived in Haishi.

Qiyi Platform is one of the three major video platforms in Huaguo. It was originally a social software, and then a film and television website. Because it started this business early, although the company's assets are not as strong as the other two, it has a large number of loyal fans. users, and now they even start their own film and television companies and engage in the game industry. In front of Zhou Yao's small capital, he is a giant in the film and television industry.

When he came to the gate of this company, Zhou Yao remembered one thing.

Two years ago, it seemed that Qiqi Platform also contacted him to purchase the copyright of "Tian Shen Universe", but Zhou Yao refused for various reasons, but now Zhou Yao came here to seek cooperation with his own work, which seemed a bit embarrassing.

A group of five people entered the elevator, and the walls were densely printed with this department and that company, all of which belonged to the Singularity Group.The rich and powerful Qiyi Group actually built a building in this city and established a kingdom.

Grandpa Liu said: "When I was in the film and television industry, Lu Bao was not yet born. Later, he applied for angel investment to develop Qiqi communication software. At that time, I knew nothing about the network information industry. It is very convenient to send letters by mailbox. Now that I am retired, I am just a bad old man, but he holds up one-third of the sky in the film and television industry. Washed away by the big waves, I don’t know who will soar into the sky.”

When people get old, they like to recall memories. Grandpa Liu sighed all the way, and several other people who listened also felt sorry for him.

"Ding" sound.

The elevator door opens.

Zhou Yao and He Yu ran into each other head-on.

Neither of them expected to meet on such an occasion.

Being thrown on the face by Zhou Yao with a contract seemed like yesterday, and his face was aching. He Yu's face contorted for a moment, and then he smiled brightly: "Oh, what is the fate? Why are you here?"

Zhou Yao looked at this guy who was supposed to be sucking his own blood and soaring into the sky, expressionless.

He Yu laughed, as if he couldn't see Zhou Yao's face, and said: "By the way, you are also looking for a platform, how is the filming going? Is everything going well? We just talked about it here, Huang The director is very optimistic about our drama, and basically confirmed the cooperation, I wish you all the best."

He Yu showed off for a while, but he didn't mean to force Zhou Yao to stay. He didn't come alone, and he didn't bother to look at Zhou Yao's dead face. Well, into the elevator.

The elevator door closed slowly, and He Yu was standing at the door, with that mask-like smile still on her face, but the smile couldn't get into her eyes.

He looked at Zhou Yao sullenly, like a ghost lurking in the dark night.

Turning his eyes away, Zhou Yao saw Jin Yi's worried eyes, and Zhou Yao smiled at her, reassuring.

Except for Zhou Yao and Jin Yi, no one took meeting He Yu seriously. Grandpa Liu even asked a few words about He Yu's drama, and then led everyone to Director Huang's office.

Director Huang is the first hurdle for the Qiyi platform to purchase dramas. He first checks the qualifications, then the investment, and finally the content. How much it costs to buy can be settled.

In fact, Grandpa Liu didn't know Director Huang very well. He knew higher-level people, but he felt that Zhou Yao's drama would pass the preliminary review without any problem, so there was no need to find higher-level people from the beginning.

In addition, they waited for Director Huang to finish his work, and they waited for half an hour.

Zhou Yao and the others waited in the lounge for a while, and Director Huang answered the phone call. It was He Yu who had just left.

He Yu said, "Brother Huang, I just saw "God Says" come over, do you know?"

"know."

"It seems that I have contacted you before, and I said to tell you in advance that the IP of "Shen Shuo" is quite big. I don't know if you know that Qiqi platform wanted to buy it several times in the past two years, but now Zhou Yao is filming by himself, and I heard that he even sold his house to make this movie, which is not easy.” He Yu sighed, “Actually, I’m quite worried about him. There is no money, book fans and drama fans are two dimensions after all, no matter how famous he is, no matter how good the IP is, the drama fans will not recognize him, the book fans will be blocked, and in addition, there is no traffic in his drama, still It's really all-or-nothing."

Director Huang frowned, hearing He Yu's deep meaning of praise and derogation, but He Yu did get to the point, no matter how good the IP is, it's better to be cautious when changing the drama from the Internet.

He Yu hung up the phone in the car, her face was so heavy that water dripped out.

He also knew that it was not good for him to be like this. A person like him who has been in the circle for so many years knows exactly what to say and what not to say. He didn't say everything, but he didn't say anything about anyone in particular.

But Zhou Yao really made his teeth itch, and he couldn't get over it without stepping on it.

And he had a hunch that if he didn't step on Zhou Yao at this time, he might have no chance in this life.

Here, Director Huang asked his secretary to check the relevant data about "Shen Shuo" before meeting the crew of "Shen Shuo".

Undoubtedly, there is indeed no actor who can be named, and Zhou Yao has indeed sold the house, and it was also on the trending search, but the most attention in the trending search is not the drama "God Says", but a network. What is the annual salary of the author?The assistant browsed around and found some big V comments and valuable comments from netizens. They questioned the quality of the show both inside and outside.

The secretary reminded: "The person has been here for almost half an hour."

Director Huang stroked his chin and frowned, then patted the table one last time, "All right, bring the materials and go to the reception room."

When Director Huang came, Zhou Yao was watching the pilot film. The lights in the conference room were not fully turned on, and the light was a bit dim when he came in. Zhou Yao sat in a prominent position and held up his mobile phone to watch, his brows were tightly frowned, and his face was not clear. It's very nice, everyone around is looking at him, only Zhou Yao is saying: "Is this company at this level? This is the best special effect they can come up with? I will give him hundreds of thousands, and I will give it to him." I such a thing?"

When Director Huang heard these words, his brows frowned indiscernibly.

This is such a bad special effect, the producer can't accept it, won't it be hot in the eyes after a while.

Whoops, I forgot to take eye drops before coming here.

Thinking of this, director Huang smiled and held out his hand to Zhou Yao: "Hi, Mr. Zhou, I'm Huang Ming, the director of the department responsible for reviewing videos on the platform, I've been waiting for a long time."

Zhou Yao had already put down his cell phone and stood up, his brows were tense, and he smiled and said, "Hi, this is our file."

Zhou Yao said hello in a concise and concise manner, and then he looked like he was going straight to the topic, which made Director Huang stunned for a moment. The agreed greetings and business are exchanging each other. Stop talking?

Zhou Yao didn't understand Director Huang's eyes, and he was about to sit down when he attracted Director Huang.Immediately afterwards, various relevant materials were placed in front of Director Huang.

At this time, Zhou Yao breathed a sigh of relief and introduced: "Jin Yi is the director of the production, please read these materials first, and she will answer you in detail."

Director Huang could only muffle his rainbow fart, which had no place to rest: "Mr. Zhou is really a straightforward person, haha."

Compared with Zhou Yao's difficulty in communicating, Jin Yi seems to be a lot more humorous and talkative, but this is also normal. Everyone has different personalities and performs their own duties. Otherwise, there would be no investment producer, executive producer and An outsider like a production director is confused by the job distinction.

Zhou Yao is the big boss, and he only needs to pay for it. Jin Yi is the production director, who is responsible for the handling of the crew's affairs and external communication. Even in the big crew, there is a dedicated producer.

Director Huang focused his attention on Jin Yi, took the time to chat with Mei Guangxuan, and even glanced at the leading actor Bai Lian. Only Grandpa Liu didn't recognize anyone and didn't talk to him.

After reading all the qualification documents provided by Jin Yi one by one, Director Huang put down the last document and said, "Actually, I did a market survey of "Speaking of God", and it is undoubtedly a big IP, but..." Director Huang After a pause, he unknowingly said He Yu's original words, "The investment is not large, and there are no popular artists. The book fans of the key online dramas and the fans of TV dramas are two dimensions. The risks that our platform has to bear It’s too big, why don’t I quote you a price now, and if you think the price is right, we’ll continue to talk.”

After saying this, Director Huang looked around, leaned his back on the seat, crossed his legs and made a gesture: "5000 million, exclusive authorization, and authorize our company to distribute, as well as the right of first refusal for subsequent sequels. "

"5000 million!?" No one expected that it would be Grandpa Liu who exploded first.

The old man bounced off the stool and slapped the table, "Are you bullying laymen? The planned shooting cost of this show is 2000 million yuan, not counting the salary of the actors and crew, plus the promotion and marketing, you Who will use the little money? If you can’t even recover the cost, who will talk to you! The store is bullying customers, isn’t it!”

Director Huang was stunned, then his face darkened.

He is in this position, and every day he meets crews from all over the country. Whoever does not flatter him will say good things to him, and when it comes to buying and selling, what is bargaining is culture and habit. Given his status and age, even if he No matter how low the price was, no one dared to point his nose and scold him.

At that time, Director Huang sneered and said, "That means there is nothing to talk about? All right, I hope you can sell it at a high price on other platforms."

Director Huang got up and was about to leave, how could Grandpa Liu let him go, he growled: "Wait!"

After finishing speaking, he took out his mobile phone, and while playing on the phone, he cursed: "I haven't come out for a few years, and young people are talking nonsense in front of me. When I, Liu Wei, was rampant in the film and television industry, what was so weird? BB was a fool." You stand here for me and wait obediently! I don't believe that you can still offer 5000 million sand parity prices if you open your mouth again!"

Director Huang blinked and looked at Grandpa Liu's face fixedly. He really couldn't recognize him, but Liu Wei's name did sound familiar.

Seeing the old man go out to make a phone call, Director Huang felt a little nervous. He licked his lips and looked at Zhou Yao. He lowered his voice and asked, "Is there someone up there?"

Zhou Yao was so amused by the scene that he wanted to laugh, but he nodded sullenly, "There should be."

"Who?"

"do not know."

"do not know?"

Zhou Yao hummed, but seeing Director Huang's perplexed look was a bit pitiful, so he reminded in a low voice: "Liu Wei, he should be regarded as a well-known investor in the film industry, and his representative work is "The Blossoms of the Other Shore."

Director Huang's eyes widened!

"Flowers from the Other Shore" is a film that no one in or outside the circle knows about. It was released nationwide 36 years ago, and it was also the first time that Huaguo received a foreign film. It won the Best Foreign Language Film Award that year. the whole country.

And after hearing the true identity of Mr. Liu, not only Director Huang was surprised, but even Jin Yi and Mei Guangxuan stared round. Only a young man like Bai Lian didn't understand the value of that film in China.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one thought that the annoying old man who walked all the way was actually a "legendary boss" with historical significance in the film and television industry.

Grandpa Liu came in after making the phone call, and gave Director Huang an indignant look.

Everyone couldn't help looking at this little old man carefully. He was thin and twitchy. He was only 1.6 meters tall with a stooped back. The flying eyebrows showed a hint of rebellion.

Director Huang licked his lips, came to Liu Wei and said, "Old man, you said it earlier, why are you so angry? If you stand here in your capacity, can I open at the lowest price? Please sit down quickly." , don’t get so angry, let’s have a good talk, I’m very flexible, you can just ask for a price and I’ll just sit back and pay back the money, to ensure that both parties are satisfied.”

"Hmph!" The old man didn't want to talk about it, so he gave Director Huang his back like a child.

Director Huang smiled wryly, and couldn't help but look out the door, not knowing who it would be.

Given Liu Wei's reputation in the industry, he probably knew some shareholders of the company.

While waiting anxiously, Jin Yi went over to coax the people for a while, but before he could finish coaxing the old man, footsteps came from outside the door. Director Huang looked back and stood up "whoosh", the chair almost fell over.

Seeing someone coming, not to mention the changes in Jin Yi and Mei Guangxuan's expressions, even Bai Lian's eyes widened.

Zhou Yao stood up, his heart skipped a beat, he just felt that he owed much favor this time.

Lu Bao.

The major shareholder and CEO of the Singularity Group, the kind of existence who works on the cloud at the highest point of the building every day, and can make news with any decision, causing shock in the film and television industry.

Grandpa Liu actually invited this big Buddha down!

Moreover, Lu Bao obviously didn't find it troublesome. As soon as he appeared, his eyes swept over and fell on the figure of Grandpa Liu. He walked over and said softly.
