For Yang Jie, these two days must be her lucky days.

Especially this morning, when she was still thinking about how to contact Wen Bixia and He Qin again and cultivate her favorability, she actually received a call from Wei Xiaofan.

Wei Xiaofan said on the phone that Kirin Group is ready to sponsor the crew of "Journey to the West", and he also deliberately emphasized the word "free".

As soon as she heard this, Yang Jie didn't think about it, and went out directly on her own bicycle.

As a result, when she went out, she remembered that Wei Xiaofan's home was in Weijia Village in the west, twenty or thirty kilometers away from the city.

What's more, Wei Xiaofan also said that there was no need to be so anxious to talk about it at noon in the office building of the Qilin Group in the city.

However, Yang Jie couldn't help it, so she simply rode her bicycle early, went to the area around the office building of the Kirin Group, found a teahouse to sit in, and began to ponder.

After pondering for a long time, she didn't understand why happiness came so suddenly.

It wasn't until she met Wei Xiaofan that Wei Xiaofan's words made her understand: "Ah Jun thinks that remakes like my country's four famous novels must be very interesting." He originally liked to help the people in our hometown, the cultural and entertainment industry in his hometown, like such a big thing, he is naturally willing to contribute. ”

Yang Jie is very smart, she didn't mention the money at all, but first told Wei Xiaofan the bottom line: "Mr. Wei, this is the task we have assigned from above, and Huaxia TV must have complete copyright." If Kylin Satellite TV sponsors it, not only will there be no way to get a return, but this copyright matter may not be discussed!"

"Well, we know. Wei Xiaofan nodded, "It's okay, Ah Jun helps people, and he will never try to reciprocate." Whether you go to the factory in Lin'an or the factory in Xiangjiang, he is the kind of person who is very generous. Without him, the people of Lin'an would not have high-paying jobs, and the mainlanders who went to Xiangjiang would not live with such dignity. ”

Yang Jie knows what Wei Xiaofan said, because she is a person in the media, so she naturally knows a lot of things that ordinary people don't know.

Yin Jun likes to use mainlanders in Xiangjiang the most, is most willing to believe in and train mainland workers, and takes care of mainland compatriots, which is well-known.

From this point of view, Yin Jun does not forget his roots and is a trustworthy person.

In fact, this is also the most important reason why Xiao Lao and Yun Lao are willing to take more care of Yin Jun and actively recruit him to invest in the mainland.

The East is different from the West, the West emphasizes that work is work, and others are others, while the East is to be a person in advance, even if you are good and have no morality, you will not be reused.

Yang Jie was still a little apprehensive, Yin Jun didn't want anything, could it be just a meaning, invest two or three hundred thousand to come in?

So, she hesitated and said, "Mr. Wei, I know that this is also embarrassing for you." But don't worry, I, Yang Jie, will not treat patriotic businessmen badly. In the crew, as long as the character image is suitable, I will help Miss Wen and the three of them arrange it. In fact, you can also participate in a role, such as the Jade Emperor and Taibai Xingjun...... Either way. ”

Wei Xiaofan shook his hand and smiled when he heard this, "I won't join in this fun, just the three of them." In addition, if possible, let Liu Xiaoqing also have a good role!"

"Okay!"

Yang Jie breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, I am afraid that you will not make a request, as long as you make a request, it will be stable.

As for Liu Xiaoqing's participation, she will not feel inappropriate, Liu Xiaoqing has been very prosperous in the past two years, and she is in her thirties, and there are a lot of roles suitable for her in "Journey to the West".

It's just that Yang Jie doesn't know why Liu Xiaoqing has such a good relationship with Kirin Group.

But she didn't think about it carefully, some things are not her business, so it's best not to delve into them.

"How many episodes of "Journey to the West" are you going to film, and what budget do you need?" Wei Xiaofan asked slowly at this time.

In an instant, Yang Jie's nerves were immediately highly concentrated, "We plan to have about 30 episodes, the script has already begun to be written, and I have read the first draft, and there is no problem with the storyline." As for the budget, Huaxia TV gave us 2 million yuan. If, if Kirin Group can also give us 2 million yuan, I am sure to make a good "Journey to the West" and will not disappoint everyone!"

"30 episodes?" Wei Xiaofan frowned, "There are so many stories in "Journey to the West", not to mention the birth of the Monkey King, making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, etc., there are ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties just on the way to learn the scriptures, is 30 episodes enough?"

Yang Jie was also stunned, and immediately said: "If you have 30 episodes, it will definitely be impossible to finish all the stories, but the most classic stories should be able to be told." ”

"It's hard to shoot the four famous novels once, how can you be so sloppy?" Wei Xiaofan shook his head and said, "If it is filmed more finely and the storyline is fuller, how many episodes will it take?"

Yang Jie swallowed her saliva, looked at Wei Xiaofan, saw that he didn't seem to be joking, and then remembered what she had heard about Wei Xiaofan's character, so she boldly said: "If we can add 10 episodes, that's the best, so many stories, we will tell more leeway." ”

"40 episodes?" Wei Xiaofan estimated the general content of "Journey to the West" in his heart, and remembered Yin Jun's words of "let them do it", and said simply: "If it is 80 episodes, will it be too hard?"

“8…… 80 episodes!?"

Yang Jie felt that she was about to lose her seat, and a huge sense of happiness hit her all at once.

I originally thought that 30 episodes would be too much, and I would be a little uncomfortable sponsoring a lot, but I didn't expect that people were not that kind of person at all, and they just opened their mouths to let them shoot 80 episodes!

Oh, my God!

Does Huaguo have 80 episodes of TV series?

Now it's a TV series with more than ten or twenty episodes at most!

If it weren't for the fact that the story content of "Journey to the West" is missing, the leaders of Huaxia TV actually want more than a dozen episodes.

80 episodes!

If you really do 80 episodes, then you can really tell everything!

However, Yang Jie is still an experienced and talented director after all, and after a sudden excitement, she immediately returned to reality.

The temptation of 80 episodes is certainly difficult to give up, but it is definitely inappropriate for the current Chinese TV series.

Not to mention how much time it takes to shoot, just to say that it takes months to complete the broadcast, which is too long and will make the audience feel tired.

A good-looking classic TV series cannot rely on the number of episodes alone to pile up the audience, but that every episode is filmed well, which is the most important thing.

If you want to make an 80-episode "Journey to the West", the energy, manpower, material and financial resources invested are also terrifying, and it is definitely not something that can be completed with money.

At least Yang Jie thinks that no director in China can have this ability and grasp the 80-episode TV series.

Although I heard that there have been more than 100 episodes of TV series in Xiangjiang, even starring Mr. Wei in front of him, and he is about to talk to Huaxia TV about how to broadcast it, Yang Jie still stubbornly feels that Xiangjiang's kind of filming method can't be brought to the mainland.

Their handling of details, the seriousness of the review of the script, and the grasp of the whole are not up to the requirements.

Even if I heard that Mr. Yin Jun, the chairman of the Kirin Group, the protagonist of this sponsorship, is a well-known gold medal screenwriter in the world, in fact, in Yang Jie's heart, it is not as good as these domestic script screenwriters who have been engaged in literary and artistic work all their lives.

But you can't say that, you can't bring people in, otherwise you will offend people every minute.

Although Yang Jie doesn't like Xiangjiang's TV series production model very much, she admires Yin Jun and Wei Xiaofan for making such a name.

Especially Yin Jun, who swam to the Xiangjiang River at the age of 16, has achieved such great achievements in just three years, as if listening to myths, he can't believe it at all.

The most important thing is that Yin Jun's personality is absolutely well-known, modest and atmospheric, low-key and decisive, with a genius mind but never arrogant...... Even the mainland knows this.

Except for the fact that he is a little unaware of moderation when it comes to women, no one can say anything about Yin Jun's shortcomings.

Now look, before you can make a request, they take the initiative to sponsor a large amount of money, how refreshing and good a person is?

Therefore, Yang Jie was also weighing what she should say: "Mr. Wei, I'm glad you care so much about our crew." But we have only made two versions of the plan so far, one is 30 episodes, and the other is about 40 episodes. And the screenwriters have already written a draft according to 30 episodes, and if they rashly expand the number of episodes to 80 episodes, I'm afraid all plans will be disrupted.

Of course, if the funds are right and sufficient, of course I dream that "Journey to the West" can be filmed enough and perfectly. But how many episodes are appropriate, I have to go back and discuss with our screenwriting teachers, and then report the plan to the station, and they can confirm it to you after they approve it.

No matter how many episodes I can make in the end, I would like to thank you and Mr. Yin Jun for their enthusiastic support for the motherland's TV drama career! If there is any place that can be used for me in the future, please feel free to say it bluntly, even if I have no connections, it will definitely not be a problem for me to make a contribution by myself. ”

Look, that's a beautiful thing to say.

Wei Xiaofan pondered Yang Jie's meaning for a moment, and then said: "This matter is not so easy to decide, I think too simply, the commercialization in the mainland and the Xiangjiang side is different." It's okay, you guys go discuss it first and see how much you can do! Oh, by the way, if Huaxia TV doesn't agree at that time, you come and tell me, I can find someone, go and talk to them. No problems guaranteed. ”

"Then I thank you in advance!" Yang Jie said happily.

Wei Xiaofan's connections in the mainland are much broader than hers, and her face is much bigger than her, even the director of Huaxia TV Station has no arrogance in front of Wei Xiaofan - cultural people know that Wei Xiaofan can talk to several bigwigs.

If there is really a problem at that time, it really can't be solved, Yang Jie asked Wei Xiaofan to communicate, and the station can't say that it doesn't give face, it will affect the enthusiasm of patriotic compatriots very much.

"Before I looked for Director Yang today, Ah Jun called yesterday. Wei Xiaofan continued: "He told me, let Director Yang and your crew, let go and do it." I don't know how much it costs to shoot TV dramas in the mainland. But when it comes to funding, you don't have to worry about it at all. If you do 40 episodes, Kirin Group sponsors you 4 million, produces 60 episodes, sponsors 8 million, produces 80 episodes, sponsors 15 million!"

Yang Jie's eyes widened: "People...... RMB!?"

"Yes. Wei Xiaofan said, "All in all, you don't have any financial concerns, if there is any lack of funds, we can further sponsor." ”

"Really!?" Yang Jie is not the first time she has trembled, but this time it is the same, no way, the mood is too excited!

"That's right. Wei Xiaofan said, "But we have a request, don't get me wrong, this is not for you." The same is true for our sponsorship of Shaolin Temple, where we will send a producer to oversee the direction of the use of the money we donate and make sure that the money is not misappropriated. ”

"Absolutely!"

Yang Jie agreed without thinking about it.

Of course, it is impossible for her to embezzle money to do anything, "Journey to the West" is her greatest wish, as long as she can shoot it well, she can do anything, where can she use the money elsewhere?

The thought of increasing the available funds so much in one go, even if only 40 episodes are filmed, there can be 6 million funds, which is definitely enough!

If you shoot 60 episodes, it will be a full 10 million yuan in production costs, how rich is this!?

Yang Jie has already decided, and when she goes back, she will discuss it with the screenwriter teachers to see how to find a balance in the number of episodes.

Thirty episodes is indeed too little!

Look at the Kirin Group, it is definitely a big business, how cool it is to talk and do things!?

……

Saying goodbye to Wei Xiaofan, Yang Jie immediately ran back to Huaxia TV Station, discussed with Ruan Tinglin for a long time, and then started a series of preparations in her office, and finally made an appointment to meet and discuss with the screenwriters tomorrow, and then returned home on a bicycle.

Seeing that it was already around 10 o'clock in the evening, when Yang Jie opened the door, she was a little cautious, trying not to disturb her husband's rest.

Wang Congqiu's sleep is very shallow, and recently he has been running the preparations for "Journey to the West" with him everywhere, and he is very tired and has lost a lot of weight.

She doesn't want her husband to be tired before filming starts.

As a result, as soon as she opened the door, Yang Jie saw that the living room was brightly lit, and there were several large boxes in the living room, all of which were now open, with white foam paper pads on the ground, and large black cameras placed on them.

The husband sat on a stool and stared blankly at the camera.

Camera!?

Yang Jie was surprised, "Lao Wang, what's going on? Where did these cameras come from? Are they still brand new? There are new machines in the station?"

Wang Congqiu was awakened by Yang Jie, turned around, and stood up with a confused face: "I don't know! Just now, the comrades from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office came over and said that two staff members came back from Xiangjiang yesterday, and this was given to me by Mr. Yin Jun of the Kirin Group...... I looked at it, and these are all the latest Japanese cameras! The three are all SONY's high-end cameras, and they seem to be the latest, at least 100,000 units! The key is that there is absolutely no way to buy such top-quality goods in China!

"So expensive?" Yang Jie leaned down and touched these slightly cold machines, but her heart was hot, "I think I know what the reason is......"

As she spoke, she talked about today's exchange with Wei Xiaofan, and finally said: "Mr. Yin Jun told Wei Xiaofan about this yesterday, and he thought he had this idea yesterday, so he sent us a few cameras in advance!"

"Oh!"

Wang Congqiu also suddenly realized, "You said that this was for the filming of "Journey to the West"? But why didn't he give it to Huaxia TV, but gave it to me? Where can I receive such a valuable gift?"

"I don't know, but there must be a reason why people do this!" Yang Jie stood up and sighed with a smile, "I didn't expect Mr. Yin Jun to know us so well, and even know that there are only two advanced cameras in the station!

"How can the cameras in the station be compared with these ones?" Wang Congqiu is a technical talent, and he didn't smile when he heard the words, "These cameras, although I don't know the specific price, but at least one of them tops the price of our three or four units! Then Xiangjiang buys it much cheaper than buying it in our country, this camera is placed in Huajing, and you may not be able to get it for two or three hundred thousand!"

"All in all, Mr. Yin Jun is a particular person!" Yang Jie was in a good mood, "It can be seen from this that he is sincere about our sponsorship!

"No, what do you say he is trying to do? Is there really such a good Xiangjiang person?" Wang Congqiu was also excited, but in addition to being excited, he couldn't believe it.

"Hey, Mr. Yin Jun is different, don't look at his age is not a few years older than our daughter, but people don't have a few brushes, can he make such a big name in this place of Xiangjiang? I have heard that his wealth is already billions of Hong Kong dollars! Many people say that within ten years, he will definitely become the richest man in Xiangjiang!" Yang Jie said, "Think about it, he is only 19 years old this year, and he will only be 29 years old in 10 years, but he is already the richest man in Xiangjiang...... Maybe he was the richest man in the country at that time! In ancient times, this was a person like Shen Wansan!"

"What do you say Shen Wansan is doing? Shen Wansan's fate is not good!" Wang Congqiu corrected with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" Yang Jie smiled dumbly, "He should be a person like Tao Zhugong! Like such a good person, I wish he had a long life and a lot of wealth!"

Looking at his wife's excited appearance, which was completely different from the tangled melancholy some time ago, Wang Congqiu was also happy in his heart.

Seeing the three top cameras placed on the ground, Wang Congqiu's heart swelled with pride.

Journey to the West

Here we go!!
