Quan Jifang enjoyed the most delicious meal in her life, and then went back to convey Feng Jianxiong's strength and demands to Director Chen.

During the meal, Feng Jianxiong also allowed Quan Jifang to pretend to take a few photos casually.

Of course, it is impossible to share this kind of photo in "QQ Zone" (not a real reference, just a pretense of "Moments").

It's just that Director Chen was already a little interested in Feng Jianxiong, so he allowed Quan Jifang to inadvertently leak it to Director Chen to show Feng Jianxiong's strength.

Otherwise, the Volga sturgeon caviar native to Astrakhan will be in vain.

In later generations, those who did micro-business, after getting the first money, would rather rent a house in an urban village, continue to eat discounted lunches every day where no one can see it, and first take the first 300,000 yuan of their lives to buy a BMW (more than half of the mortgage, 300,000 is far from enough to buy a BMW, and the BMW below the 5 series of micro-businesses are embarrassed to sell).

It's not because what you eat in private, where you live, and the fat sheep offline can't be seen. And what kind of car you drive out, every time a micro-business opens an offline development conference, it is obvious to all.

Spending money on making others see that you are a "successful person" and "creating a wealth myth", greed can blind their vigilance against Ponzi, so as to obediently believe that this is a micro-business selling goods rather than an empty pyramid scheme without goods.

People who sell their mouths are all the same truth.

Feng Jianxiong's eloquence is already too famous, but on some occasions, too good eloquence will be counterproductive, so he has to use wealth to wash it away.

Because the more you know that you are eloquent, the more the other party will worry about your lack of strength and whether you are a white wolf with empty gloves for PPT marketing.

Perhaps only when you reach the number of stages of Ma Feng, can you only enjoy the benefits of pretending to be forced, and you don't have to bear the side effects of forcing too much.

Feng Jianxiong's routine was really successful, and Director Chen was silently introduced by Quan Jifang, and decided to talk to Feng Jianxiong.

If it weren't for this, a media person from a wild road would come to CCTV to say that he wanted to invest, and he would not be bombarded out.

Of course, Director Chen alone can't make a decision, after all, this matter may involve "ratings betting" - how much to bet on, it is not up to the production company on CCTV's side to decide, and there are also relevant people on the TV station.

In other words, Director Chen had to go to Shila again, and this was a three-way negotiation.

……

Two days later, it was still the top hotel near Lufthansa, but not in the steakhouse, but in the cafeteria.

However, the grade of the dishes is not far behind, perhaps to facilitate self-service, so there are many high-end seafood sashimi styles.

On this occasion, Quan Jifang can only be regarded as a little sister who introduces a drinker, and the main guests are two middle-aged men.

After Quan Jifang's introduction in advance, Feng Jianxiong knew that the middle-aged man wearing retro disc gold wire glasses opposite was Director Chen. And another fat man who is a little depressed is Minister Niu of CCTV Documentary Channel - he is the one who Director Chen invited a third party to make a decision.

Director Chen doesn't look like an artist, his hair is shaved very simply, just an inch head, and he actually gives people some honest illusions.

And Minister Niu is a pure middle-aged greasy man, and his whole person is shiny.

But once you speak, you can immediately see that these two people are old fritters who have been obscene in the official media system for a long time.

When he first came in, Director Chen's eyes were still a little disdainful, and he seemed to be blaming Feng Jianxiong for not being able to say anything - the day before yesterday, I invited Ma Zai's little sister to go to the steakhouse, and today I invited the main owner to come to the cafeteria?

Although the five-star hotel also has a very good cafeteria, such as today's 3880 per person, but after all, it is a little worse than the steakhouse.

He didn't care about this stutter, it was purely because he had doubts about Feng Jianxiong's strength.

But it's just doubts.

He also can't understand how a person who has the strength to spend tens of millions of dollars on a film can be short of these tens of thousands of yuan to eat the money? Isn't this pretending to be half of it?

Fortunately, Feng Jianxiong quickly solved his doubts.

Because it's a buffet, you don't have to order food, you can take it yourself. In a cafeteria of this grade, there are very few people, and it is impossible for a certain dish to be eaten without replenishment, or it needs to be grabbed by diners. All can be gentle.

After a few polite words and two or three minutes, the five of them each took a plate of food and sat around a long oval table.

"Minister Niu, I heard that you believe in Buddhism?" Feng Jianxiong said.

"I can't talk about it, just believe it, isn't this still wine and meat through the intestines. Minister Niu didn't seem interested in this topic. After all, when eating and drinking, no one wants to be mentioned whether they believe in Buddhism or not.

Of course, Minister Niu believes in Buddhism - this is what Quan Jinfang heard about and then told Feng Jianxiong. Feng Jianxiong temporarily changed to arrange a buffet.

But those who are officials, if they are promoted smoothly, and they themselves are weak-minded, and they can't explain how they are better than other colleagues in the same period, and why they are promoted and others are not promoted.

It is easy for these people, then, to pray to the ghost of idealism. I have to find a Buddha or something to believe in, and I am down-to-earth. (Even if they send money and run through the back door, they will selectively think it's because of the blessing.) Because the human brain has a subconscious of self-protection, no one can feel that they are doing bad things all the year round and continue to do it, and thieves, robbers, and murderers will find psychological hints of legitimacy for themselves. ）

Even some online writers who were selected by other people's operations and became popular by the opportunity of traffic, or those singers who were asked "What music do you want to make? I want to be popular", will believe in Buddha to comfort "Why am I popular".

Minister Niu is an example of such a successful career.

He didn't really want to be self-disciplined at all, but he wanted to pretend to believe in Buddhism.

To deal with this kind of person, Feng Jianxiong has his own set of rhetoric: "Why should Minister Niu be modest, it is not a bad thing for wine and meat to pass through the intestines, not to mention it." What's more, Buddhism has 'three pure meats' and 'self-dead meat', so what is the sin of eating meat itself? It is nothing more than the sin of killing. It is not for you to be killed, not even for you, and there is no sin in eating it.

The buffet, it's not the dish you ordered, whether you come today or not, it at least has to be burned so much, then it's not for you to be killed. If one day there are so few customers that you can't even eat the basic amount of stock, and finally spoiled and have to be poured out in vain, it is a vain killing, and the sin is even heavier. If we eat a little more today, it will prevent them from killing innocent people in vain, and the merit is immeasurable!"

As soon as Feng Jianxiong said this, Minister Niu, who originally felt slapped in the face because he was asked whether he believed in Buddhism in the wine and meat farm, suddenly brightened his expression.

"Is there still such a saying? It turns out that when you eat a buffet, the more meat you eat, the more merit you have?"

"Of course. Feng Jianxiong said, casually quoting the scriptures.

He was originally the No. 1 big fool in Tianzi, and he knew everything about the three religions and nine streams, and he could naturally explain the Buddhist terms of 'three pure meat' and 'selfish meat'.

But Feng Jianxiong goes further than today's people in the world, that is, the elegance and the vulgar are shared and integrated. The crooked reasoning and heresies that others haven't thought of now are far-fetched, and Feng Jianxiong can come up with them at his fingertips.

"Then I'll eat more. Minister Niu couldn't help but smile a little, he never showed his gluttonous appearance in front of the supplier, and he was also a little forgetful.

Director Chen, who was still a little contemptuous, also reversed his views all of a sudden. In my heart, I secretly said:

"This surname Feng is not simple, it is not just a matter of eloquence. Eloquence, insight, and financial resources are all the best choices. It's no wonder that when I talked and laughed in Xingdao, I was able to enter the middle X part of the law eye. ”

If there is a consensus on Feng Jianxiong's strength, it will not be too embarrassing to talk about the rest of the matter.

Eating fried tuna steak in olive oil and drinking burgundy cognac, Feng Jianxiong just rightly began to test the price of cooperation.

"Xiao Feng, I don't think you're a layman. What is the price, I can tell you the truth, we CCTV shoot an episode of this kind of documentary, and a budget of 1.5 million is indispensable. According to Director Chen's shooting plan, 7 episodes, 10 million is always wanted. ”

When Minister Niu said this, he burped slightly and glanced at Director Chen.

Director Chen immediately picked up with understanding: "It's not that we don't accept investment, but the investor can't interfere with any shooting plan, grade specifications, or audit our finances, it's this fixed price......"

Feng Jianxiong immediately understood this condition.

is nothing more than those film and television investors outside, after filming film and television works, although they can't interfere with the specific creation of the director, they can add the supporting roles of the protagonist to the unspoken rules, and they can also let the financial department audit how the director spends his money and whether he has filled his pockets.

On the CCTV side, it stated at the beginning that it did not accept external audits from investors.

It can be seen how the price of 1.5 million is composed.

If you really put it in a market-oriented production company outside, you can take down 1 million episodes (taking into account the long-term business trip expenses of the big team), and the extra part is either a rebate for procurement, or an extra tricky name for the personnel to give benefits (the CCTV film crew is on a business trip, and the hotel where they live is a much higher grade).

However, since you want to mix with CCTV, this unspoken rule can only be accepted.

Feng Jianxiong endured the nausea, smiled and seemed to be very sincere: "1.5 million episodes, it's not a problem." I'm sure you're also here to keep improving. ”

When he said this, even Minister Niu and Director Chen were a little embarrassed.

It turns out that spending a lot of money to set up a project to distribute benefits is "excellence".

Minister Niu seemed to be trying to hide his embarrassment, and hurriedly made up a date after a mallet: "Of course, as long as the work is filmed well, we CCTV will not let investors take risks in vain - as long as the final ratings are passed, we can buy the exclusive premiere copyright at a price of 2 million per episode." In this way, you may also make a net profit of 4 million. ”

The net profit of 4 million sounds beautiful, and the profit margin is 40%. 10 million shots of TV, sold 14 million.

But the key minister has made it clear: there is still a bet on ratings here.

Then you have to see whether the index of the bet is set high, and what is the deposit ratio once you don't get the bet.

Feng Jianxiong decided not to ask about the ratings for the time being, but finalized the transaction model: "Then what kind of gambling method? If it is not done, how to deal with it?"

"Normally...... We're all going to buy the rights to two episodes first, no matter what, and let them try. If the ratings reach the standard, I will buy the next five episodes. If we don't meet the standard, we won't pay the follow-up money, otherwise we won't be able to explain it. But you are also responsible for speeding up the editing of the next five episodes into one episode, and we will not pay for this episode......"

Feng Jianxiong smiled and said: "There is no final payment, and you have to make another temporary edit? Are you not afraid that investors will not buy it? What if you just give you the remaining five episodes?"

"If you don't have ratings, you don't want to give it away for nothing!" Minister Niu said categorically, "CCTV's time period is very valuable!"

This statement was beyond Feng Jianxiong's expectations, and it was the first time he discovered that CCTV in 07 was still so awesome.

If you watch a show with few people, you won't let it go if you don't need money for free!

According to this approach, Feng Jianxiong first paid 10 million yuan and handed it over to the people of the CCTV production company to spend all day drinking to make films, so that their production staff could get a ticket for benefits first.

After filming, if the ratings are bet, then it can be sold for 14 million and make a net profit of 4 million.

If the bet is not up to standard, then you can only get 4 million for the first two episodes, with a net loss of 6 million.

CCTV's TV department seems to be giving a generous purchase price, but in fact they don't take any risks, which means that it is absolutely impossible to buy a loss.

If Feng Jianxiong hadn't been very confident in the book "A Bite of China", I'm afraid ordinary people really wouldn't want to read this kind of unequal treaty.
