Chapter Seventy-One: Identity
Cctv? Cctv?
When Wei Zhixing told him on the phone that the people at CCTV wanted to adapt "Shuke and Beta" into an animated film, Zhu Ziqing thought he was joking.
What is CCTV?
In the eyes of those who do not know what it represents, it is just the object of shelling. In the past life, it was simply scolded as a dog on the Internet. It is impossible to count its evil deeds, such as bureaucracy, old-fashioned and old-fashioned, arbitrary and domineering, and so on.
But whether it's scolding or praising it. None of them can change one fact, it is the mouthpiece of the country and the most powerful TV station.
An ordinary person can naturally ignore CCTV and scold as much as he wants, it has no way at all. If you want to mix the film and television industry, you must not offend it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to move an inch.
It is true that Zhu Ziqing writes books, but he will not just be a bookwriter for the rest of his life. Entering the film and television industry to make money is also part of his future plan, so now he is bound not to offend CCTV. On the other hand, if you have a good relationship with CCTV now, the road will be much easier in the future.
So, after some thought, he decided to meet with the people from CCTV.
I have never dealt with such a department, and I don't know what their attitude is. The news from the Internet is derogatory terms such as domineering and high-minded. He also knew that he could not believe all these words, but he could not disbelieve them either.
If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, what if the other party is really as said on the Internet? What if the other party's conditions are too harsh? Although he really wants to have a good relationship with the other party, he will not sell his works cheaply.
Therefore, when he went to see someone from CCTV, he pulled in a bodyguard - Tao Yingshuang.
"Don't be frightened by the words on the Internet, although the people at CCTV are not easy to contact, they are not as unreasonable as they say." Tao Yingshuang drove the car and said helplessly:
"And this time it's just a small director of the animation department, and he doesn't know me. It's no use pulling me over. ”
"Yo, I don't know you, Tao Sanshao still dares to mix in CCTV? Go home and sell sweet potatoes. Zhu Ziqing said exaggeratedly.
Although the two have never exchanged their family backgrounds. But they all believe that the other party must understand. Zhu Ziqing's family situation became known on the day that the identity of 'Seven Nights' was revealed. What's more, there is Lin Baoer's family.
Tao Yingshuang's family background is not a secret, and he has never deliberately concealed it. In the past, Silian Publishing House was facing bankruptcy, and no one would pay attention to such a second-generation official. Since he was involved with Zhu Ziqing, his identity was quickly revealed. Just search the Internet to find out.
As soon as Zhu Ziqing talked about this matter today, Tao Yingshuang understood his intentions and pulled himself into the town. He has done such things before, and it is nothing to help Zhu Ziqing Town once. What's more, this teenager is not only his own cash cow, but also a prospective nephew and son-in-law.
Although it was not necessarily useful to say that he was going, he still drove his own car immediately. Pulled Zhu Ziqing all the way to the agreed location.
The location of this meeting was decided by Zhu Ziqing, and to be honest, he had little experience in this area. I could only imitate the situation of the last time I met Wei Zhixing, and chose a nearby teahouse.
So, it only took a few minutes for the two to drive to their destination. This is a modern tea house with huge glass walls, elegant sofas, and exquisite coffee tables...... It can also be called a café because it also sells a variety of coffees and drinks.
When the two arrived, there was still a while before the agreed time, and the CCTV people had not yet arrived. The location was designated by him, and it was a courtesy to arrive early.
They each ordered a cup of tea, and the two began to chat.
"What CCTV wants to adapt is the story of "Shuke and Beta", right? The story is being serialized, and the adaptation into an anime will definitely affect the serialization. Do the folks from Children's Literature agree? Tao Yingshuang pointed to the essence of the problem.
Zhu Ziqing also thought about this question, although the adaptation right is in his hands. But before the serialization ends, he must keep it secret and not reveal the follow-up plot. Someone else buys the adaptation rights, and it must be the whole novel, which creates conflicts. At the beginning, he used this excuse to reject those people in animation companies.
When Wei Zhixing called to talk about this matter, Zhu Ziqing originally wanted to continue to use this reason to prevaricate the past, but Wei Zhixing's words made him a little unable to react.
"The editor-in-chief of Children's Literature took the initiative to call and said that they didn't need to be considered. As long as I reach an agreement with CCTV, they will take the initiative to give up the serial rights. Thinking about it now, Zhu Ziqing still feels incredible.
Although "Children's Literature" has now grown and is supported by two popular works, "Seven Nights Fairy Tale" and "My Neighbor Totoro", it seems that "Shuke and Beta" is not so important.
Don't forget, the magazine's rise began with Shuck and Beta. For them, this fairy tale has a special meaning. That's something that no story can match. What kind of conditions did CCTV offer to make them give up this story?
And what are they willing to spend so much trouble trying to get the right to adapt this fairy tale? Since they attach so much importance to it, how can they ensure that their interests are not harmed when negotiating?
It was with this in mind that he would find Tao Yingshuang to escort him.
Although Tao Yingshuang didn't know the whole story, as the second generation of officials, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"Is it negotiated with CCTV, or is it all animation studios?"
"Limited to CCTV only."
"Good guy, it seems that this negotiation is not so simple. You're not in a good town. ”
"That's why I'm looking for you. With you, complex things can be made simpler. ”
"You don't have to pat me on the back, I can only say try not to let you suffer. Others are not guaranteed. ”
"If you don't let me suffer, it's already the best guarantee."
The CCTV people are very punctual, not early or late. There were two people from the other side, aged in their thirties.
These two people came to Zhu Ziqing's place one after another, and after seeing Zhu Ziqing and the two, the person who took the lead showed a professional smile on his face:
"This must be Mr. Zhu Ziqing, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I am Qiao Zhensheng of CCTV Animation Department. ”
"Where, we've only been there for a while. Hello Mr. Qiao, I'm Zhu Ziqing. Zhu Ziqing stood up and said politely.
"Who is this?" After shaking hands with Zhu Ziqing, Qiao Zhensheng pretended to ask Tao Yingshuang casually.
Why do you say, 'pretend to be inadvertent'? From the moment he appeared, Zhu Ziqing found that although this Qiao Zhensheng was talking to him, the rest of his eyes had been secretly looking at Tao Yingshuang. Therefore, Zhu Ziqing guessed that he knew Tao Yingshuang nine times out of ten.
"Oh, look at me, I forgot to introduce you. This is Tao Yingshuang, the owner of Silian Publishing House. I'm staying at his house in Shanghai these days. Today's negotiation is very important, and he was afraid that I would get lost and delay things, so he drove me over. There are more people who have not discussed with you, so please bear with me. Zhu Ziqing also pretended to say casually.
His words were also deliberately mixed with a lot of information. For example, living in Tao Yingshuang's house, Tao Yingshuang specially drove him...... If this Qiao Zhensheng really knew Tao Yingshuang's identity. A lot of things will definitely come up with it. That would save the negotiation a lot of trouble.
Sure enough, Qiao Zhensheng showed a very surprised expression after hearing these words, and subconsciously looked at Tao Yingshuang. When he found that Tao Yingshuang did not have the slightest intention of objecting, his heart beat wildly.
Yes, of course he knew Tao Yingshuang. Although one of them is in the capital and the other is in the pearl, they seem to have nothing to do with each other. But in a place like CCTV, you will more or less know some people with deep backgrounds.
He once followed a certain gentleman to a gathering of the second generation, and at that party he had seen Tao Yingshuang.
At that time, there were many second-generation people who attended the party, and it was impossible for him to remember them all. The reason why he was so impressed with Tao Yingshuang was because the gentleman he followed once pointed to a circle of sofas and said in an envious tone that the people who could sit there were the top players in Sijiu City.
He knew exactly what the word 'top' meant, so he paid special attention to it. There was a lot of space around the sofa, but there were only four or five people sitting in it.
At most, the others just walked in and toasted a glass of wine and came out, and their butts didn't even dare to touch the edge of the sofa. The gentleman he followed didn't even have the qualifications to walk in and toast.
Among these four or five people, there happens to be one Tao Yingshuang.
After coming back, he also quietly inquired about the identities of these people, but the result made him break out in a cold sweat and never dare to do anything more.
It's just that he never thought that Zhu Ziqing would actually have a relationship with such a top player. Before he came, he had investigated Zhu Ziqing's details and knew that his family background was ordinary and had no background. At the time, I thought that buying an adaptation right was just a piece of cake.
But now, he doesn't think so at all. If he had a choice, he would definitely not want to run this errand.
"Hello Mr. Qiao, Ziqing and I are friends. I'm causing you trouble this time. Tao Yingshuang said politely.
"Mr. Tao, hello, hello." Tao Yingshuang's attitude made Qiao Zhensheng breathe a sigh of relief, the other party was not as difficult to contact as he imagined. But he didn't dare to think that the other party was a kind person, and said with the most respectful attitude.
"Don't be so polite, everyone, sit down and say, sit down and say." Zhu Ziqing deliberately showed his existence, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qiao is a guest from afar, please bear with me if you are not well entertained." ”
"Where, Where, ......"
What followed was naturally a polite remark without nutrition, and it was Zhu Ziqing and Qiao Zhensheng who spoke. Tao Yingshuang looked like an old god, and he didn't mean to speak at all. The person who followed Qiao Zhensheng was pitifully ignored by everyone.
After chatting for a while, Zhu Ziqing was surprised to find that Qiao Zhensheng actually had a layer of fine sweat on his forehead. You must know that it is the end of October, and although the weather is not cold, it is definitely not hot. After sitting in this teahouse for a while, he felt a little cold. It's weird that the other party is actually sweating.
With a slight turn of his brain, he found the crux of the problem - Tao Yingshuang.
