The next day, Zhou Qiang made the first flight and returned to the capital after a long absence.

accompanied by Xu Ruyun and Fang Wenxiu, Fang Wenxiu did a good job in the last steel mill, and this time when talking about film and television drama investment, Zhou Qiang called her to come together.

As soon as the three of them got off the plane, someone from Baichuan Company came to pick them up, and after getting into a comfortable Mercedes-Benz car, they went straight to the West China Hotel.

Today's luck is good, the road conditions are not very congested, Zhou Qiang and the three of them arrived at the hotel on time, and they had a round with Chu Chu in the hotel lobby, and Chu Chu was followed by a middle-aged man, who was Li Yabing, an investor in the name of the people.

Zhou Qiang met Li Yabing for the first time, but after seeing that the other party was somewhat familiar, after introducing each other, he knew that the other party was also an actor, and he had also filmed a family comedy, and Zhou Qiang had also watched a few episodes.

I have to say that there are still benefits to the profession of actor, as long as the other party has seen your work, there will be a sense of familiarity and closeness, and it will also be convenient to communicate and communicate with each other.

Under the leadership of the waiter, a group of five people came to a VIP private room, the area of the private room is very large, there is a large round table for eight people, the decoration of the private room is very luxurious, there is a separate bathroom, and one side of the private room is a tall floor-to-ceiling window, which is very bright.

Everyone sat down, ordered the dishes, and began to chat.

"Mr. Li, I remember that you are not an actor, how do you make behind-the-scenes investment now?" Zhou Qiang said.

"My acting path is a bit narrow, most of the roles are played in some supporting roles, it is not easy to become popular, and investing in film and television is also an extra income. Li Yabing said.

"I heard Mr. Chu say that this TV series you filmed is called in the name of the people?" asked Zhou Qiang.

"Yes, it's this name, I just want to shoot a TV series with a realistic theme and anti-corruption for the benefit of our people. Li Yabing said.

"Mr. Li, the theme of the anti-corruption drama is very novel, however, there may be restrictions on the review, in case the filming is done, aren't you afraid that it will not be released?" Zhou Qiang asked.

"Dong Chou, to tell you the truth, this TV series was filmed by a director of our Supreme People's Procuratorate, and when it comes to reviewing the drama, I will also greet the relevant review departments, so don't worry about the review. Li Yabing said.

"There is also this kind of thing, the Supreme People's Procuratorate will actually take the lead in filming a TV series. Fang Wenxiu said.

"That's right, if you have read the script, you should know that the protagonist of this TV series is a director of our Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the relevant cases are also handled by the Supreme People's Procuratorate himself, which is definitely a highly authentic and rare anti-corruption drama. Li Yabing said.

"I've read the script, it's very authentic and logical, but I'm worried that young people nowadays won't pay attention to the subject of anti-corruption. Fang Wenxiu said.

"Not necessarily, my cousin's son, who just went to college this year, talked to me about current affairs, politics, and international news, and said that the current mobile phone is too convenient, and the amount of information for young people is very wide. Li Yabing said.

"Your nephew is just a case and cannot represent the whole of young people, I think we should find more young people to investigate. Fang Wenxiu said.

"Manager Fang, whether the TV series is good or not, the main thing is to see whether the shooting is good or not, whether the subject matter is new or not, not to mention the rest, our crew definitely accounts for these two points, first of all, the director of the TV series, is a very famous director Li in our country, has filmed many popular TV series, and the actors are all carefully selected old actors, there are several national first-class actors alone, the most important thing is that this theme is novel, no one has filmed it before, and the ratings will definitely not be bad. Li Yabing said.

"Mr. Li, what you said is right, but today's young people don't value acting skills but appearance, they like small fresh meat, and there are not many people who care about acting skills. Fang Wenxiu said.

……

Seeing Li Yabing and Fang Wenxiu arguing, Zhou Qiang didn't speak, just listened quietly.

In fact, after hearing the words in the name of the people, Zhou Qiang has already decided to invest in this movie, because it is clearly recorded in the future diary that this TV series will become popular, will create a record of TV series cleanup, and set off a wave of anti-corruption dramas, and more importantly, this TV series has a high return on investment.

However, Zhou Qiang met Li Yabing for the first time, and it was impossible to tell the other party as soon as they met, I decided to make this film, there must always be a process, from questioning, to accepting, and finally believing, and Fang Wenxiu played the role of this questioning.

Fang Wenxiu didn't deliberately find fault, this is her responsibility, to evaluate all investment projects for the company, if there is no such attitude of getting to the bottom and doubting everything, Zhou Qiang is not worried about the other party doing this position.

However, since Zhou Qiang chose to cooperate, he didn't want the scene to be too stiff, so he took the initiative to say: "Mr. Li, how much money do we need for this anti-corruption drama?"

"The current estimate is 110 million. Li Yabing said.

"Then our crew, how much funding gap is there now?" Zhou Qiang asked.

"About 60 million. Li Yabing squeezed out a smile.

"Is it left or right?" Zhou Qiang smiled.

"More than 60 million. Li Yabing couldn't see it perfunctory, so he could only say so.

"Co-author, this fund is still a lot short, how many of your investors have broken the contract?" Fang Wenxiu said.

Hearing this, Li Yabing's face changed slightly, and he said: "I believe that this is their loss, and when the TV series is released, they will definitely regret withdrawing their investment." ”

Zhou Qiang showed a faint smile, maybe Li Yabing was a little angry and dissatisfied when he said this, but it did come true in the near future, and when this TV series is released, those investors who withdrew their investments will definitely cry and faint in the toilet.

"Mr. Li, I see that you are a cheerful person, to tell you the truth, I have always wanted to shoot some meaningful TV series with realistic themes, after reading the script in the name of the people, I like this drama very much, and I also have the intention of investing. Zhou Qiang said.

Hearing this, Chu Chu pursed her lips, she remembered that when she called yesterday, she only said the name of the TV series in the name of the people, and she showed Zhou Qiang the script at all, he already had a strong intention to invest, Chu Chu guessed that Zhou Qiang may have some inside information.

"Dong Zhou, how much do you want to invest?" asked Li Yabing.

Now that the crew's capital chain is broken, the most lacking thing is funds, only when the funds are in place, can the next step of filming be carried out, otherwise, he will really be able to make enough money by smashing the pot and selling iron.

"Isn't your crew still short of more than 60 million? The rest of the funds are all out of Mr. Chu and I. Zhou Qiangbao said.

Chu Chu's eyes widened, and said secretly, I am not as generous as you, and before the meal was finished, she decided to invest tens of millions of dollars, but she didn't want to sweep Zhou Qiang's face, and according to her understanding of Zhou Qiang, since the other party said this, the intention to invest was already obvious, and she was afraid that if she didn't invest a penny, Zhou Qiang would be able to eat it all.

She heard that Zhou Qiang was engaged in real estate in Yunshan City, and at least took out billions of funds, which was not worse than tens of millions.

"Hey, that's great, on behalf of the crew of the whole people, I thank Dong Chou and Mr. Chu for their trust, they have solved the urgent needs of our crew. The joy on Li Yabing's face was hard to hide.

These days, Li Yabing has found a lot of investors, and when he first started reading the script, many people thought the script was good, but after some consideration, these investors gave up again, one was afraid that they would not be able to pass the review, and the other was that they were afraid that young people would not like to watch it, which would affect the ratings of the TV series.

Xiang Zhou Qiang is so interested in investing, so happy, or the first one, if he has the documents in his hand now, he really can't wait to let Zhou Qiang sign the contract immediately, and the other party in the province will regret it when he goes back.

When the time comes, Li Yabing will really be out of line.

The meal, enjoyed by the guests and the hosts, ended in a pleasant atmosphere.

After separating from Li Yabing at the door of the hotel, Zhou Qiang got into a Mercedes-Benz car, and Chu Chu also sat in, and as soon as he closed the door, he asked with a slashed face: "Dong Zhou, are you, do you have any inside information?"

"How do you say that?" Zhou Qiang said with a smile.

"Before, I called you and asked you to invest in Catching Demons 2, you said a lot of shortcomings and risks of catching demons, but you didn't want to invest, I called you again yesterday, and just said the name of this TV series in the name of the people, you were particularly interested, and today you made a decision directly, if there is no inside information, this is not in line with your style. Chu Chu said.

"I can't talk about internal information, I just think that since President Xi came to power, he has fought a lot of tigers, and the people have also supported and supported it very much, which has also caused a lot of reactions in society. Zhou Qiang said.

"Just by this inference. Chu Chu asked.

"Isn't that enough?" Zhou Qiang asked rhetorically.

"You're really bold. Chu Chu said.

"I just think that Mr. Chu is complimenting me. Zhou Qiang said with a smile.

Chu Chu shook his head slightly, but then he was relieved, Zhou Qiang spent billions of dollars on real estate in Yunshan City, and if he didn't have the courage, it would be impossible to make the scale so big.

"Dong Zhou, how can we divide the investment share of more than 60 million yuan?" Chu Chu said.

In the name of the people, the value of investment in this TV series is very high, in all fairness, Zhou Qiang naturally wants to take some share of the investment, but, after all, Chu Chu helped her, and Zhou Qiang can't be too ugly, otherwise, who will cooperate with you next time?

"Mr. Chu, how much do you want to invest?" Zhou Qiang asked rhetorically.

"I have recently invested in a lot of film and television dramas, and I don't have a lot of money in hand, and I also want to take out some of the funds to invest in Demon Catching 2, so I'm afraid I can't take out too much money to invest in the name of the people. Chu Chu said.

"In this way, you have a share of 10 million, and the remaining 50 million belongs to me. Zhou Qiang said.

"Dong Chou, you are so optimistic about this TV series in the name of the people. Chu Chu said.

"I'm not optimistic about this drama, but I'm optimistic about the theme of anti-corruption dramas, in addition to this TV series, I will also invest in other TV series with anti-corruption themes. Zhou Qiang said.

"Dong Chou, you're not kidding. Chu Chu Zhengse asked, this first anti-corruption TV series has not yet been released, Zhou Qiang wants to continue to invest in other anti-corruption dramas, isn't he afraid that he will not be able to pass the review and accompany him?

How bold is this?

"Of course not, I still want to ask you again to help me watch other TV series with anti-corruption themes, as long as the script is good, the actors are good, how many there are, how many I vote. Zhou Qiang said.

Because Zhou Qiang knows very well that once this TV series in the name of the people becomes popular, similar TV series will be in short supply, as long as you invest, you will definitely be able to make money, and the earlier you invest, the higher the rate of return.

"Dong Chou, are you planning to set off a wave of anti-corruption dramas in the film and television industry?" asked Chu Chu.

Zhou Qiang pondered for a moment and said, "This is the general trend. ”
