Chapter 204: No Turning Back

Huaxia TV, Deputy Director's Office.

Feng Yumin knocked on the door, went in, and saw that Director Zhao was looking down at things, so he said, "Zhao Tai is busy?"

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

Feng Yumin nodded, "Hey, you are busy first, don't worry about me, I'm not in a hurry." ”

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

After six or seven minutes, Zhao Bingyuan finished reading the document, and began to write there, and when he finished writing, he pressed the phone call button, called the secretary in, handed the document over, and said, "Tell them, if they are not qualified, call back and rewrite!"

The secretary carefully took the papers and exited the office.

Zhao Bingyuan was in the mood to look at Feng Yumin at this time, and he didn't get up, but just tilted his body to the back of the boss's chair, played with the signature pen in his hand, and said with a smile: "What, something's wrong? Look at your sad face, isn't it that the following group poked you again?"

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

To tell the truth, Zhao Bingyuan, a person who climbed to the position of deputy director at the age of forty-two, and he also directly grasped the biggest TV series and movies, in the past few years, he has always been strong in Taiwan, but including pushing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and other big dramas, he is indeed capable of anything, and everyone up and down the stage is afraid of him.

However, Feng Yumin, as an old qualification in Taiwan, is also a Taishan Beidou-level figure in domestic TV dramas, Zhao Bingyuan can be unapologetic to others, but he has always respected Feng Yumin very much.

Moreover, with Feng Yumin's qualifications over the years, not to mention Zhao Bingyuan, a deputy director, he really dared not to give him face as a director, and no one dared to do anything to him.

It's just that, having said that, if a person wants to be tough, he must first be tough in what he is doing, but the problem is that now this matter in his hands is obviously a mess.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "The matter of "The Legend of the New White Lady", I'm afraid it's yellow. ”

Zhao Bingyuan was originally smiling, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, and his brows wrinkled at that time, "Yellow?"

After brushing it, he sat up straight, his brows furrowed tightly, and he looked at Feng Yumin with a puzzled expression, "How can it be yellow?

Feng Yumin hesitated for a moment and said, "Both." ”

Zhao Bingyuan turned the pen in his hand 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 work, although he is a star himself, right? He will be a director, which will make this drama itself have a certain attractiveness, but after all, he has only just started doing it, it is only the first film, for him, the most important thing is not to make money, but to prove himself!" If you get it to Huaxia TV to broadcast it and send it to other stations with him to broadcast it, the effect is completely different, and it will have a great impact on his future directorial career and investment career!"

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

Feng Yumin smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "Zhao Tai, you don't know, Li Qian is the kind of person who doesn't need you to say more nonsense, he is very smart and sophisticated, and he knows the twists and turns here." I can tell you that when he sent the film to me as soon as possible, he had already thought through the conditions that our station might give, and the pros and cons of sending it here. ”

Zhao Bingyuan's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then his complexion quickly returned to calm. He went back and sat down, picked up the pen on the table, and slowly turned it twice, before he asked calmly: "So, since he is such a smart person, it means that he would rather give up such an opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop and want to make a little more money?

After a pause, he smiled, "Moreover, if he takes it to another station and puts it on another station, although he can still sell two or three rounds, he may not be able to sell it for any more money, right?

Feng Yumin was silent.

After a pause, Zhao Bingyuan smiled and said, "I know that you two are friends and friends." Then let's open the skylight and say something, you can tell the truth, how much does he want, or, what are the conditions!"

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

Zhao Bingyuan was stunned when he heard this, and then a sharp light flashed in his eyes!

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

Feng Yumin said: "That's not necessarily. However, when he came, he sat in my office for a while, and what he said was quite heartfelt. He said that he spent a lot of effort on this play, and he was not willing to shoot it so cheaply......"

Zhao Bingyuan was angry, snorted coldly, and said, "Cheap? 20 million to buy out a play, is it still called cheap?"

Feng Yumin raised his head, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously a little dissatisfied with Zhao Bingyuan's tone, and couldn't help but argue: "But in this drama, he invested a total of 35 million! Even if it is sold for 34 million, it will be a loss of money!"

Zhao Bingyuan smiled when he heard this, he didn't know whether he was happy or angry, waved his hand, and said: "Thirty-five million? That's a disguise! These days, who doesn't brag a little bit and say that it is 35 million, but in fact, I estimate that it is about 20 million, which is about the same!"

Feng Yumin also smiled when he heard this, but said with great certainty: "Externally, he may blow a little, but in the past two years of communication between the two of us, I still know in my heart who he is." If he doesn't say it, as long as he tells me in person, then he is absolutely not lying. ”

After a pause, he said: "In addition, you have also seen the film, to be honest, even if it is not up to the level of the movie, but let's put aside the story and characters, we don't talk about it, just talk about the picture, the special effects, you can see it, it really took a lot of effort! It is said that just for the special effects of this play, he smashed 30 million into it and set up a special effects studio! You can see how much he values this drama in his heart! So, let's do this, not a layman, you know it at a glance, just rush to that picture level and special effects level, I think you should also know in your heart, 35 million, there should be no lie!"

Zhao Bingyuan squinted his eyes slightly when he heard this, but soon, he retracted his gaze, thought about it, and said, "What he told you is quite heart-wrenching? Can you tell me, what did he tell you?"

Feng Yumin smiled and said: "He said that in fact, when he sent the film, he was already mentally prepared to lose money, and he also said that if the station could give even 30 million at the beginning, then he would rather lose 5 million, and he would rather take advantage of our station to burn this fire, but 20 million, and it must be a package buyout, not to talk about the premiere right at all, which he really can't accept." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Bingyuan turned the pen in his hand vigorously and did not speak.

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

Zhao Bingyuan smiled, "Understood, understood!" and then stopped talking.

Bang bang, the secretary knocked on the door, pushed the door in, "Director, the time for the meeting is almost up, you should ......"

Zhao Bingyuan didn't wait for her to finish, he waved his hand directly, "Tell them, delay it for twenty minutes!"

His voice was a little loud, and there was a faint anger, which startled the secretary, and when he heard this, he quickly agreed, closed the door, and withdrew.

For a while, the atmosphere in the office was a little stiff.

Feng Yumin lowered his head and did not speak, while Zhao Bingyuan played with the signature pen in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.

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

Feng Yumin raised his head and smiled, "Of course, I am a person, you still know, and I won't lie at all." ”

Zhao Bingyuan snorted when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That's right, you, I can still trust you...... So, tell me, as a director, and you are also the leading director of our domestic TV series, what do you think of this TV series?"

Feng Yumin pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said: "On the first day I watched the film, I told you at the time that Qian's talent is really surprising everywhere! Although it is the first play, I don't see the jerkiness of a rookie director at all. ”

"From the story, the beginning and the end, there is a cushion and a high tide, the suppression should be the outbreak, the control is simply smooth, the book he wrote, itself is very good, and the later cutting is also very good. ”

"Then, character building, I don't need to say more, didn't you also say when you watched the film at that time, the character image of Bai Suzhen simply achieved the ultimate desire and praise of female beauty in the hearts of Chinese, which is simply a benchmark level. Then, Xiaoqing and Xu Xian, as a foil, are quite well shaped. Then, the picture is in control...... Needless to say, this is not to be said. ”

"So I said,Personally,When I first saw this book,I personally liked it.,I'm really afraid that he's just getting started.,Shoot blind.,At that time,I really wanted to buy it for him.,I'll shoot.,But now,I shoot,Maybe it's better than him!"

As he spoke, Zhao Bingyuan nodded, and when he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said: "Then, according to your experience, since this drama has been so good, as long as it is played, it will be popular?"

Feng Yumin hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "I really don't dare to boast about this Haikou! You also know that the two films I handled last year were smashed, and the ratings were ...... Hey, anyway, all I can say now is that I'm very optimistic about this drama, and what will be the audience's reaction after he starts broadcasting...... To be honest, after those two dramas last year, I now feel a little confused about what the audience likes to watch!"

"For example, the "Tokyo Love Story" you introduced in your own way, in my opinion, it is the simplest idol drama, that is, the actors are more beautiful, and I really haven't seen any bright spots in anything else, but as soon as you introduced it, it became a big hit!"

After a pause, he continued: "So, although I have been in this line of work for longer than you, now when it comes to watching films, my quasi-leader is 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, and then raised his head again, and said resolutely: "Help me tell him, 25 million, no more! His talk show, wrapped up in me, I let him on three programs, even if he can't get the schedule on Saturday and Sunday, I will fight him until Friday night!"

Feng Yumin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, coughed softly, and then said, "Zhao Tai, you haven't dealt with Li Qian, so you may not know him very well. ”

When Zhao Bingyuan heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed on his face, and he smiled: "Oh......? Can't you take it down? Can't you do that?"

After a pause, Feng Yumin said, "He is...... How can I tell you, he is such a person! Since he has already told me all the reserve price in his heart before he came, then, let alone 25 million, even if you give him the original reserve price in his heart, he will not look back. Now, if you are really optimistic about this TV series in your heart and want to take it over, I am afraid you will really have to consider adding weight to him. ”

Zhao Bingyuan smiled when he heard this, "You can't take 30 million......?" According to what you say, he is still a donkey? Would you rather sell it to those provincial stations and sell it for a 58 million premiere than never look back?"

Feng Yumin smiled, "I'm afraid it is." ”

Zhao Bingyuan retracted his gaze, and there was some imperceptible anger in his eyes. But after a pause, he was still smiling, 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, I won't hide it from you, this is you, it's my job, and that's my good friend, I really don't want to get involved in this matter." However, when it comes to this, I can actually see that you are actually quite optimistic about this film in your heart. Either...... In this way, he costs 35 million, and you add 1 million to him! 36 million, I don't care where he is now, what kind of success he has come into contact with other stations, I will show this old face, and I will definitely bring you this drama back for you, you see, is it done?"

Zhao Bingyuan smiled when he heard this, his brain center was spinning, and he met Feng Yumin's expectant gaze, and he said, "Thirty-six million...... Hehe, hehe! Forget it, Lao Feng, you can help me make the phone call just now, 25 million, plus that show, if he agrees or not, just let him go!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored the stunned look on Feng Yumin's face, and directly continued: "Okay, I'm going to have a meeting, this matter, so be it, okay?"

Feng Yumin understood that if the leaders said so, it was equivalent to issuing an eviction order.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally stood up, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll call him later, see what he says, and I'll call you back." ”

Zhao Bingyuan smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Lao Feng." ”

Feng Yumin smiled, turned around and went out.

As soon as the office door was closed, Zhao Bingyuan's anger suddenly didn't bother to hide it, he clenched his fists, eager to smash the desktop immediately, and finally took it back, but he angrily pushed away the chair and stood up, walked two steps, snorted coldly, and muttered to himself: "It seems that that kid didn't spend less money, this is really a dead effort! 36 million, hehe...... Hmph!"

After venting for a while, he turned around and sat down again, thought for a long time, patted his palm on the table, and sneered: "This old Feng, it seems that he can't use it very much!

…………

When Feng Yumin's call came in, Qi Jie was reporting to Li Qian on the status of the negotiations.

took out the phone and looked at the number, Li Qian motioned for 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 in vain, but where my duty lies, I have to ask you, our Director Zhao said, 25 million, plus help you put that talk show into three programs, at least I will try to arrange it until Friday night...... That's all, can you give me a reply?"

Li Qian didn't say anything for a long time, and on the other end of the phone, Feng Yumin even wondered if Li Qian was listening to the phone, only to hear Li Qian suddenly say: "Brother Feng, have you embarrassed?"

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

After a pause, he said, "Hey, don't mention it, it's not interesting to mention that." I can't do it in the future, I'll go to you, can you still give me a bowl of rice to eat? Besides, it's not to that point! I'm just talking in the middle, and you still expect me to help you ask him for a price? Think beautifully, don't forget, I'm 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 won't go back." ”

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

After finishing speaking, he thought about it, but said again: "That day, the old man came to the stage to string the show, and I happened to run into it, so I chatted a few words, your senior brother admires you very much, it is said that you have learned the drama well?

Li Qian smiled and said, "My senior brother thinks that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, in fact, where do I dare to go on stage with this half bottle of water!"

Feng Yumin laughed when he heard this, "Come on, let's go back and drink together." ”

Li Qian smiled: "Okay, go back and make an appointment." ”

Hanging up the phone, Li Qian was silent for a moment, his expression complicated.

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

Qi Jie said: "Speaking of HUNAN Satellite TV, I didn't receive much news, but I actually called and said that I wanted to arrange for someone to come over and watch the film." ”
