Chapter 709: Dinner (Part II)
…
Putting down the scripts of "Desire" and "The Story of the Editorial Department", Xu Cun asked Zhao Baogang: "Are you the director of these two TV series?"
In fact, the main director of "Desire" is Lu Xiaowei, but Lu Xiaowei is also the screenwriter of "Desire", and the script of "Desire" made by the Haima Film and Television Creation Center has not been sorted out, and Lu Xiaowei can only focus on the script, so the assistant director Zhao Baogang picked up a big bargain and got the opportunity to be the director, and signed the "director" in the finished film.

Therefore, although it is not accurate to say that Zhao Baogang is the director of "Desire" and "The Story of the Editorial Department", it cannot be miscalculated.
Therefore, when Xu Cun asked him if he was the director of "Desire" and "The Story of the Editorial Department", Zhao Baogang hesitated a little and nodded and admitted.
Seeing Zhao Baogang nodding, Xu Cun said sharply: "Your luck is good, you just came across such two good books as soon as you debuted, if you can direct these two books well, you will definitely be able to enter the ranks of first-class TV drama directors in China." ”
Not only in terms of movies, but also in terms of TV series, Xu Cun is also an absolute everyone, and even the arrogant Wang Shuo and others have no doubts about this - you know, Xu Cun personally supervised the production of TV series such as "Bao Qingtian" many years ago, which caused a ratings frenzy.
Therefore, hearing that Xu Cun, everyone gave such a high evaluation of "Desire" and "The Story of the Editorial Department", almost all of these people who have participated in the creation of these two books are full of red light!
Without waiting for Wang Shuo and the others to brag, Zheng Xiaolong, who was afraid that they would go off topic, took the lead and said, "Mr. Xu, how about we cooperate?"
Xu Cun said noncommittally: "Oh, what kind of cooperation method?"
Seeing that Xu Cun didn't seem to be averse to cooperating with them, Zheng Xiaolong immediately put his previous plans together, "Mr. Xu, look, how about these two TV series being released on your Phoenix Channel?"
Xu Cun nodded unequivocally and said, "Okay, we want these two TV series on Phoenix Channel." ”
Seeing that Xu Cun agreed so happily, Wang Su and others had a good impression of Xu Cun again, and Wang Su said directly: "Mr. Xu, you are really a happy person, unlike the grandsons of the Central Station, a man who has been talking about cooperation for more than half a year has not yet been approved, and he has to watch the sample film to decide, so he is not happy......"
If Wang Su is allowed to continue, he can run to the alien planet, Zheng Xiaolong doesn't want Wang Su to interfere with his business!
Also having the same idea as Zheng Xiaolong is Ma Weidu, who was the secretary general of the Haima Film and Television Creation Center at the time.
Most of Ma Weidu knows that he is a big name in the collecting industry, but they don't know that he is not only a literary backbone, but also a literary youth, stepping into the entertainment industry, dominating the literary circle - when he was in his twenties, Ma Weidu became popular with a love novel "Full Moon Tonight" published in "China Youth Daily", and successfully entered the literary circle. As the editor of the publishing house, he has successfully unearthed Wang Shuo, Liu Zhenyun, Mo Yan, Su Tong and other writers who have influenced the Chinese literary scene for decades in the previous life.
Unlike Wang Su and other pure literati, Ma Weidu still has a businessman side, otherwise he would not have become a collector, and he is also very ambitious - he very much wants to use the platform of Haima Film and Television Creation Center to show his strength!
And Xu Cun not only has a lot of resources and money in his hands, but also has the most important thing for the mainland film and television industry - unfettered independent production rights.
This power may seem inconspicuous, but it is actually too important - except for Xu Cun's Dream Factory, all foreign companies (including those in Xiangjiang and Taiwan) must cooperate with Chinese film co-production companies in order to enter the mainland (at first, co-production companies are mainly about coordination, but later on, as the Chinese market becomes more and more important, all foreign companies have to be regulated and constrained). The trouble is too big to talk about for three days and three nights. In addition, Xu Cun has a very good relationship with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and even the headquarters building of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television was donated by Xu Cun. Therefore, in the mainland film and television industry, Xu Cun can be said to be almost free of any constraints. Of course, in order to retain this right permanently, Xu Cun is very self-restrained, but any work that steps on the line, the self-inspection department under him will be directly killed.
Therefore, if you can catch up with Xu Cun in film and television, there will be too many benefits!
Therefore, Wang Su's tirade has just begun, and before Zheng Xiaolong can speak and bring his words back to the topic, Ma Weidu kicked Wang Su under the table, and said with a regretful face: "These two books have been created by these people for more than two years, but unfortunately they have not been able to make them into a TV series!"
Xu Cun followed Ma Weidu's words and asked, "Why didn't you shoot it, what's the difference?"
was kicked by Ma Weidu, and heard what Ma Weidu said, Wang Su also remembered the purpose of their trip, so he answered: "What else can it be worse, the money is poor, the grandsons of the art center are all the masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, and they don't see money for a day, and they don't let them use the studio......"
"Ahem!"
As soon as they heard Wang Su scolding him at the Beijing Television Art Center, several people coughed at the same time - reminding Wang Su not to talk about this topic anymore.
Strictly speaking, Zheng Xiaolong, Zhao Baogang, and Feng Xiaogang are not from the Haima Film and Television Creation Center, but from the Beijing Television Art Center, so Wang Su scolded the Beijing Television Art Center for changing direction to scold the three of them, so someone reminded Wang Su.
Feng Xiaogang said indifferently: "Those people are enough for their grandson, that broken studio is empty, and it won't be used for us, does his uncle still have the spirit of contributing to the art of the motherland?"
Today's Feng Xiaogang is a subordinate of Zheng Xiaolong at the Beijing Television Art Center, and Zheng Xiaolong is preparing to shoot "Desire", so he called Feng Xiaogang to this drama to do art design and miscellaneous.
With Feng Xiaogang's words, Zheng Xiaolong and Zhao Baogang also shook their heads, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the practices of some people at the Beijing Television Art Center!
But-
As a qualified producer, Zheng Xiaolong has never forgotten his business, "Now that "Desire" has been filmed for four episodes, however, the production fee we saved before is gone, Mr. Xu, you see...... We only sell the two TV series "Longing" and "The Story of the Editorial Department" to your Phoenix Channel, can you ...... Can you give us an advance on the production fee?"
As soon as Zheng Xiaolong's words came out, everyone at the table looked at Xu Cun, and many people even had a strong expectation in their eyes!
After glancing around, Xu Cun said with a smile: "No problem, it's okay to advance the production fees of these two TV series to you at one time." ”
As soon as he heard that Xu Cun was so happy, he agreed, Zheng Xiaolong and others were all happy, and Wang Su and other fast-talking people even wanted to praise Xu Cun's boldness!
But at this moment, Xu Cun continued: "I have another proposal here, I don't know if you want to hear it?"
