Chapter 305 Investing in "Journey to the West" (12,000 per day, ask for subscription~)

"I can't be the master of this matter!" Qian Wenjie said bluntly.

Wu Jianye was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Aunt Qian, wasn't "Dream of Red Mansions" quite easy before?"

Qian Wenjie said helplessly on the phone: "The investment in "Dream of Red Mansions" is not your court culture, but Xiangjiang's Fengge Entertainment ......."

didn't say the rest of the words, but Wu Jianye also knew that the first thing that was sold to Fengge Entertainment was that CCTV thanked Fengge Entertainment for taking care of the country before, after all, the people who went to Xiangjiang to study in China in the past two years were all entertained by Fengge Entertainment, Fengge Entertainment has long been named in the Ministry of Culture, and CCTV can't be too stuck in this matter, and Fengge Entertainment is an entertainment company in Xiangjiang, so it is really possible to broadcast "Dream of Red Mansions" in Xiangjiang, which can be regarded as indirectly expanding CCTV's influence overseas.

"Then what if Fengge Entertainment invests in it?"

Wu Jianye didn't want to give up the TV series "Journey to the West", so he saw if he could settle for the next best.

"In fact, there are some things that you don't understand, the most important thing in this is not the company's investment, but the people, Yang Jie's character is too strong, so it is inevitable to offend some people, these people don't want "Journey to the West" to finish filming!"

If it were someone else, Qian Wenjie would definitely not say this, but Wu Jianye is different, the relationship between the two families is a condition, and now Yang Zhun went to the north and cooperated with Wu Jianye to open a company, which made the relationship between the two families closer, and Qian Wenjie naturally didn't want Wu Jianye to get involved in this kind of thing.

Wu Jianye didn't say anything about "Journey to the West", everyone likes it, if such a classic should not be buried, after all, in the political struggle, these will not be the reason to change their minds.

"Then if I must invest in this TV series, who should I look for?"

Investing in "Journey to the West" is bound to offend some CCTV leaders, but in Wu Jianye's view, this is still operable compared with "Journey to the West" being filmed.

Now Wu Jianye doesn't have to think about being so cautious when he was reborn just now, he already has his own capital, and he can wrestle with some people, besides, it is only a part of the leaders of CCTV, not the entire CCTV, he is not worried about the follow-up impact.

"If you have to do this, contact Teacher Situ of your academy, he still admires you very much!" Qian Wenjie pointed out a clear path for Wu Jianye.

Mr. Situ's father, when he retired, was in a high position in the domestic culture, next to the C position.

Because of the success of "The Red Lantern Hangs High" and "The Last Emperor" that is now being prepared, Wu Jianye already has some say in the hearts of these big people, and at the same time, don't forget that the big leaders of the Ministry of Culture also appreciate Wu Jianye very much.

However, this matter obviously can't go directly to the big leader, but it is a good choice to go to his father through Teacher Situ. Although Mr. Situ's father has retired, he still has a huge influence in the cultural field.

Then Wu Jianye called Teacher Situ again.

"Xiao Wu, investing in "Journey to the West" is a lot of money, and you have to buy the copyright of "Journey to the West", this money is not a small amount!"

After listening to Wu Jianye's narration, Teacher Situ said with some worry.

"Teacher Situ, money is not a problem, I watched the first few episodes of the TV series "Journey to the West", it is indeed a rare masterpiece, and you don't want such a classic to be delayed because of money, right?"

I don't have to talk to Qian Wenjie about how classic "Journey to the West" is, but I have to tell Mr. Situ how well-made and classic this TV series is.

Teacher Situ thought for a moment and said, "That's it, I'll ask about this matter first, you wait for my call!"

"Then I'll trouble you, teacher!" said Wu Jianye with a smile.

"You kid, making a few more excellent movies is the best thank you for me!" Teacher Situ scolded with a smile and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Jianye smiled and said to Li Chengru: "Wait, it is estimated that there will be an answer in a while!"

Now Li Chengru still has long hair over the ears, a bit like Chen Haonan's hairstyle, a little head, and his hair is also flowing, but he didn't deliberately keep this hairstyle, but because the crew's shooting task was too heavy, he didn't have time to get a haircut at all, so it was just a little similar to Chen Haonan's hairstyle, but it looked a lot rougher.

At this time, Li Chengru was also very surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that Wu Jianye now had such a lot of energy and could directly contact the Ministry of Culture.

"It would be great if it could succeed, Director Wu, don't you know, everyone's feelings for this TV series are too deep, when they heard the news that the budget was not enough a year ago, everyone was stunned, but no one gave up, and they all said that they wanted to help the crew raise funds. ”

Thinking of the scene a year ago, Li Chengru sighed again.

About forty minutes later, the phone rang.

"The above has already agreed that your court culture will invest in "Journey to the West"!" Mr. Situ said directly.

This made Wu Jianye both happy and curious, he originally thought that he would use the name of Xiangjiang Fengge Entertainment in the end, but he didn't expect that the above would directly agree to invest and acquire the copyright of "Journey to the West" in the name of Tangting Culture.

However, then Mr. Situ explained the reason to Wu Jianye, it turned out that as the first private cultural company in China, the establishment of Tangting Culture attracted the attention of the upper echelons at that time, after all, there was no such example in China before, and the upper echelons also wanted to know what kind of results such a model could achieve.

It can be said that the upper echelons are now preparing to use the court culture as an experimental base.

They want to see how far private companies can go, of course, this is also related to the fact that Tangting Culture is Wu Jianye's company.

"However, don't be too happy, although the above agreed to your request, but CCTV is not like selling you the copyright of "Journey to the West" so simply, CCTV has invested three million before, you must return this money to CCTV, and at the same time, regarding the cost of the copyright of "Journey to the West", CCTV also proposed a sky-high price of 1.5 million!"

This price has created the highest record for CCTV to sell the copyright of TV dramas, even more than many times, which is also a consideration of CCTV, which does not want to offend the upper leaders because of this TV series, and hopes that Wu Jianye can retreat despite the difficulties.

CCTV naturally knows the follow-up cost of "Journey to the West", at least three million, that is to say, if Wu Jianye's court culture really wants to win "Journey to the West", it will cost at least more than 7 million yuan, they don't think that Wu Jianye can come up with so much money, and finally hope that Wu Jianye can retreat.

"Yes, there is no problem with this price, so let's call Tangting Culture now and ask them to take the contract and sign a contract with CCTV!"

CCTV thinks that the price is too high, but in Wu Jianye's opinion, it is about the same as the price of the stall, and he has made a lot of money.......

Situ was also stunned on the other end of the phone, he didn't expect Wu Jianye to be so happy, this is millions, not hundreds?

At the same time, he was also curious, where did Wu Jianye get so much money.

"Xiao Wu, the capital ....... of Tangting Culture"

"Teacher Situ, don't worry, the source of every fund of Tangting Culture is well documented!" Wu Jianye Natural Dao Situ was worried about something.

"That's good!" Situ didn't ask where the money came from, as long as there was Wu Jianye's words.

Although Li Chengru, who was next to Wu Jianye, couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone, he also knew that this matter was done after listening to Wu Jianye's words.

So when Wu Jianye put down the phone, he looked at Wu Jianye excitedly: "It's done?"

Wu Jianye let out a long breath and said with a smile: "It's done!"

Li Chengru clapped his hands and shouted happily: "Great!"

During this time, the crew of "Journey to the West" was worried about money!

When Wu Jianye and Li Chengru returned to the crew, the entire crew also looked at the two of them nervously.

"It's done!" Li Chengru raised his arms and cheered.

When the entire crew heard this, they immediately cheered.

Director Yang excitedly held Wu Jianye's hands, "Thank you, thank you so much!"

In the future, I will ask Director Yang for this TV series, I hope Director Yang can not forget his original intention and shoot the best "Journey to the West". Wu Jianye also smiled.

Being able to win "Journey to the West" made Wu Jianye happier than investing in "Dream of Red Mansions", although "Dream of Red Mansions" is also a very classic, but "Journey to the West" is one of the most replayed TV series in Chinese TV dramas, and his influence is incomparable.

And most importantly, everyone on the scene, except for him, didn't know that this TV series had also caused a huge sensation overseas.

"Then Director Wu, how much money are you going to invest?" Yang Jie looked at Wu Jianye with some excitement and hope.

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "There is no cap, as long as Director Yang thinks it needs to be spent, I will sign a check here, not only to ensure the quality of this TV series, but also to ensure everyone's logistics, at least in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, to improve everyone's grade." ”

This is Yang Jie, Wu Jianye has great trust in her.

Or back to the previous matter of printing brochures, when Director Yang asked for $15,000 from the office director, he found that he hadn't spent it, and there were still $1,800 left, and Director Yang returned it to the center at that time.

Seeing the subtle knowledge, you can see Director Yang's character from this point.

Yang Jie's body trembled with excitement: "Really!"

"Really, I'll allocate three million to the crew now, if it's not enough, you can call my company directly, and I'll let them send it over when the time comes!" Wu Jianye said.

"Okay, good, great!" Yang Jie let out a long breath of turbidity, and then didn't say anything, but turned around and left.

Someone wanted to stop Yang Jie, but was stopped by Li Chengru.

"Let Director Yang rest for a while, she has had too many grievances in the past few years, let her go back and take a good rest!"

From the beginning of the preparation of "Journey to the West", Yang Jie put almost all her thoughts on "Journey to the West", with the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew, she traveled almost all over China, just in order to find a suitable place to shoot "Journey to the West", CCTV even said that Director Yang spent the crew's money to travel.

But I don't know how much Yang Dao has suffered, and the people behind the scenes in the winter climbed the snow mountain, and finally found a place to rest, but the whole body was already soaked with snow.

When looking for a filming location, the crew had a car, but the car was not a good car, it snowed in winter, the windows couldn't be rolled up at all, and they slept in the open, who wanted to say that they enjoyed it, then they should really try it themselves.

At the same time, I was under tremendous pressure.

Take "Dream of Red Mansions" as a comparison, "Dream of Red Mansions" from the preparation to the start of filming, almost the leaders are fragrant and sweet, and there are often leaders to inspect and condole, although the funds are also tight, but the leaders also help to find a way to solve it, and they completely treat "Dream of Red Mansions" as their own son.

And "Journey to the West" has become a ....... for the stepmother

Now that these problems have finally been solved, Director Yang's mind has finally relaxed.

As for the sixth teacher in later generations, he often attributed the success of "Journey to the West" to his own name, which is really speechless.......

But now Teacher Sixth is still a child, and he doesn't have so many ideas, but this child is a little pampered.

When he first joined the crew, Teacher Six's father actually came to serve Teacher Six's daily life, and Teacher Six was already in his twenties at this time.......

In the evening, Director Yang returned to the crew in good spirits.

Again, I want to express my gratitude to Wu Jianye.

In the evening, Wu Jianye, as a new investor, invited the entire crew to dinner.

In fact, many behind-the-scenes scenes of the crew, when they first went to Xiangjiang, Wu Jianye already knew each other.

It's more about the actors who know Tang Seng's three apprentices, and as for Tang Seng's actors, they are gone now.......

The story of learning scriptures in the west originally told the story of Tang Seng's perseverance in taking the scriptures of the West, and the three apprentices often broke up, but the reality is that Tang Seng changed three, and none of the three apprentices changed.

The sixth teacher, the big apprentice, naturally doesn't need to be introduced.

Teacher Liu's family can be regarded as a family of monkey kings, and his father is now known as the "Southern Monkey King"!

A few years ago, the Shao drama "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" starred the father of Teacher Liu.

In fact, Director Yang's original idea was to find the actor of Sun Wukong among the young martial arts actors, but the performance of martial arts actors was a weakness, so Director Yang turned to opera actors.

The earliest director Yang was Dong Zhihua, a student of the Experimental Peking Opera Troupe of the Huaxia Opera School, but Dong Zhihua was the main actor of the troupe, with a good salary and the ability to go abroad, so he rejected Director Yang.

Later, Director Yang was introduced to find the father of the sixth teacher, and the father of the sixth teacher also had his own apprentice, but the apprentice never had a son, and under the strong recommendation of the sixth teacher, Director Yang finally chose the sixth teacher, of course, if the sixth teacher's brother was there, it would not be the turn of the sixth teacher.

When he joined the crew, Teacher Six also concealed his 700-degree myopia......

Then the sixth teacher recommended his brother's son Xiao Qilingtong to let him play Zhu Bajie, which is also a Zhu Bajie family.......

However, later Xiao Qilingtong did not enter Director Yang's eyes.

Originally, the candidate for Zhu Bajie, Director Yang was also ready to look for it among the opera actors, and the actor of the Huaxia Peking Opera Company - Sun Guiyuan began to fall in love, but Sun Guiyuan's problem is the same as Dong Zhihua's problem, and he is also the pillar of the Peking Opera Company.

Later, Director Yang chose the harlequin of Kunqu Opera - Ma Dehua!

As for Sha Wujing's actor, it was not all smooth sailing, the first one to settle down was a student of a martial arts school, but the performance was unqualified, and later Dong Xingjie recommended Yan Huaili to Director Yang.

Only then did he get together three apprentices.......

"Then Director Yang, is there a suitable candidate for Tang Seng now?"

Yang Jie looked at Wu Jianye and smiled meaningfully: "There is one!"
