After making a phone call with Mr. Gao, Gu Cheng contacted Screenwriter Liu and Director Li and chatted for a while. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

He also has some understanding of the unavoidable hurdle of "The Family of Gold Powder".

The film is really red background. The screenwriter and director are mother and son, and the screenwriter and producer role, the investor behind it is the CCTV Film and Television Department.

The play has a total of 40 episodes, and it takes more than 3 months to film. Therefore, the filming will start in mid-October, and the actors will continue to shoot until the end of the Lunar New Year, and it will be purely the work of post-production after the New Year.

For Gu Cheng, a busy man, it is unacceptable to OFF for three months in a row. So he bargained and agreed to have a week off in early November and the end of December, so that Director Li would arrange those scenes that didn't need the male lead in those time slots when he rehearsed.

Insiders know that Dingdang and Eslite Audiovisual are Gu Cheng's company (the legal representative is Pan Jieying, but Gu Cheng has held a press conference), and they also know that he is busy. After some compromise, I agreed.

After chatting about the information of the play, the focus is on financial compensation.

Today, the legendary Document No. 16 of the National Council has not yet been passed. It is absolutely impossible for this kind of CCTV investment film to allow private capital to invest in shares, even if he participates in the filming, Gu Cheng will not get any economic benefits, at most he will obediently get some salary.

It's heartbreaking.

Fortunately, the other party also knows that Gu Cheng's time is valuable, and the salary of tens of thousands of yuan per episode is really unacceptable.

So after some mediation, the producer showed some sincerity in other aspects of "saving the country with a curve": as long as Gu Cheng obediently shoots well, he will give his Eslite Audiovisual Batch two overseas drama copyrights to import concessions.

In 2001, it was still very difficult to introduce overseas TV dramas, and there were strict quotas every year. The General Administration and CCTV couldn't give Gu Cheng any money, so they sent him away with this kind of administrative approval index that did not require cost.

Considering this monopolistic environment, these two indicators can make at least a million price difference in the hands of mediocre talents. If it is in the hands of someone with such a sharp eye as Gu Cheng, it will be even more difficult to say.

Rice dramas were not allowed to be introduced at that time, so Gu Cheng thought about it again and again, and decided to report it according to a Dongyi idol drama and a Fusang cartoon.

(Note: The complete ban on Japanese comics in China will not be until 2006, and it is legal to watch Japanese comics in 02 years.) ）

The details of the PY transaction will not be repeated.

As soon as he got the letter, Gu Cheng called Lin Zhiling, who was in Wanwan, and asked her to contact some of the more popular Yiju and Fusang comic producers in the near future, and send samples to the General Administration first to see if they could be introduced, and if so, contact the seller to negotiate the price.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat, and a profit of 10 million is also a profit.

……

In the evening, when he returned to the residence of the White Horse Apartment, Gu Cheng began to pack his things.

The multi-storey apartment he bought in June is now ready to move in. The interior design of Jiang Youbo's Orange Fruit Studio is very environmentally friendly and the decoration is very simple.

Because the house is too big, the family hired a total of three maids to cook, clean, and take care of the housework, and even the maids have their own bedrooms.

However, every time she packs up Gu Cheng's clothes for a business trip, it is still Pan Jieying who does it herself.

Gu Cheng, the sister treasure man, has not gotten rid of it completely enough: in life, he wishes that Pan Jieying would leave him alone and give him absolute freedom. But when he was frustrated in his career and needed attention, he couldn't help but confide in him, and he threw it away after using it.

If there are also "scumbags" in the relationship between sisters and brothers, Gu Cheng is definitely the benchmark for scumbags.

While the sister and brother were packing up their things, Gu Cheng told his inner worries:

"The people of the General Administration are eyeing me, a 'ratings killer' and won't let go. Sister, do you think I have this status now, will filming "The Family of Gold Powder" become a stain on my resume in the future? ”

In Gu Cheng's later society, naturally there is no such distinction between high and low. Not to mention 40 years later, even if it is only 20 years later, the second generation of a wealthy businessman like Wang Xcong should still mix media and media.

But Gu Cheng is not familiar with the current atmosphere of the "aristocratic circle", and there are some fears about "people's words are terrible".

Pan Jieying felt that this was an unfounded worry. Over the past year or so, her knowledge has grown exponentially. The social attribute bonus brought by beauty and money has allowed her to see the values of countless truly rich people.

So she casually comforted her younger brother: "Don't think about it, how can there be so many 'nobles' from the poor." Italian Prime Minister Bersconi was still playing in a band at the age of 35 and releasing records -- people are not wealthy, aren't they?"

Gu Cheng twisted for a few seconds, and retorted: "Pei Xiang didn't become the prime minister when he was 35 years old!"

"Then he was already the largest real estate developer in Milan at that time, and the money was no less than yours. Pan Jieying smiled slightly, taking advantage of the situation to break the key to the problem, "So, it's not a big deal to play, the key is to grasp two points:

First, there's nothing wrong with being young. You're only 18 years old after the New Year, what's wrong with taking this opportunity to experience life again? Secondly, filming is okay, every time you choose a drama and cast, you have to improve a little, don't go back more and more filming, just change the grade to Low. ”

When Gu Cheng heard this, his heart was warm, and he felt that any knots in his heart had been untied.

Although "Gold Dust" is not enough to make people remember it 40 years later. But at present, it seems that Gu Cheng's "whitewashing" is still somewhat beneficial.

In "Meteor", Gu Cheng is playing the second male lead after all, and this time he is playing the real male number one, which can be regarded as a kind of progress. This drama does not accept investment, and it also clears up the misunderstanding of some people in the world that he "can only bring capital into the group".

And the casting of "Gold Powder" is also more serious, almost all of them use professional actors, no more than the newcomers of "Meteor" at the beginning. This is naturally a recognition of Gu Cheng, and it will be easier for him to accumulate "prestige" when he talks about cooperation with insiders in the future.

After accepting these settings, it seems that this matter is not too sad.

Before leaving, he explained to his cousin: "I have to go for a long time this time." You'll have to worry more about digging up Lei Jun. When I was on vacation in early November, I will focus on it again. In addition, at the beginning of December, Sun Zhengyi's second tranche of 1 billion funds will be in place, and as soon as the money arrives, you can help me buy the novel website called 'Phantom J Book League'. Next year, let's recruit An Mo to change it and spend money to make a paid online novel website. ”

Gu Cheng's idea is actually very simple: Chen Tianqiao's Shengda can do a certain point after making a legend, why can't he do it himself? With Alipay in his hand, maybe it is easier for users to cultivate the habit of paying.

Pan Jieying didn't know these twists and turns. She still thinks that Gu Cheng's idea is a bit fanciful - what is an online novel? Is it just those casually written "Ethereal Journey" and "Have a Date with XX" and other god-like chatter on the Internet? Isn't this all free to watch for free? This thing can still be used to make money?

Questioning is questioning, which does not prevent Pan Jieying from implementing Gu Cheng's ideas. It can cost a few bucks just to buy a website where you can share literature with like-minded people.

……

A few days later, Gu Cheng arrived in the capital. is going to run to the CCTV Film and Television Department, meet the main owner, and talk about the audition.

The film "The Family of Gold Powder" is said to have been invested by CCTV with a lot of money. did not use the ancient street scenes of Hengdian, but specially made a large area of exterior scenes with a stronger sense of the times in the Jinmen Film and Television Base adjacent to the capital.

The Golden Mansion, which is nicknamed the "Grand View Garden of the Republic of China" in the film alone, spent more than 2 million decoration costs on the crew - compared with the investment of only five or six million in the whole drama of "Meteor Garden", the degree of entrenchment of "The Family of Gold Powder" is obviously not the same.

The giants of "Meteor" are the plastic makeup of Rolls-Royce inserted in the front of the Camry, and the giants in "Gold Dust" are the real giants.

Because the filming location was in Jinmen City, the actors were notified to come to the CCTV headquarters in Beijing to audition, negotiate, and finalize, and then start work nearby.

Gu Cheng doesn't have a driver's license, and he doesn't have a car in the capital. Fortunately, the bell net he bought a few months ago was in the capital, so Li Yuqing sent a car to pick him up.

Li Yuqing is a person in the publishing industry, and he doesn't know the rules of the entertainment industry very well, but he only knows that celebrities like spacious spaces, so he sent a Skoda original SUV that was very rare at the time.

Gu Cheng doesn't pick a car, he treats people easily, and when he gets in the car, he tells the driver to go to CCTV.

Today's CCTV has not burned down, and the "big pants" do not exist yet. When Gu Cheng's car was parked downstairs, it slightly attracted the attention of some staff, but he didn't take it seriously - this car was not high-end, but it was rare.

After all, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven and the media center, and there are not too many celebrities coming and going every day, and the staff are already immune and surprised.

Gu Cheng wore sunglasses and a cap and took the elevator upstairs according to the invitation letter. At a distance of 100 meters in the corridor, he saw four or five people wearing peaked caps, all of whom should be celebrities.

When he arrived at the film and television department, a female front desk received him, he showed an invitation to find screenwriter Liu, and the female front desk immediately smiled and motioned him to sit in the lounge for a while.

It's because he came early, and screenwriter Liu and director Li are still having other meetings.

Gu Cheng walked into the lounge and saw that there were two other girls also sitting crampedly waiting.

is in his early 20s, "his face is like a silver plate, and his eyes are like apricots", which is a bit of Xue Baochai's taste.

The other has much more young teeth, very shaved shoulders and a melon seed face, but the apple muscles are slightly infantile fat.

When the girls saw Gu Cheng, they all stood up politely. Before he could introduce himself, he realized that he didn't need to—there were very few young girls who didn't know him these days.

"Mr. Gu, it's a good luck. My name is Dong Jie, I am very happy to cooperate with you, and I will ask for more advice in the future. ”

"My name is Liu Feifei, Gu Cheng, I admire you so much, I've watched "Meteor Garden" several times~ I'm a newcomer, sign me. ”

In contrast, Liu Feifei is obviously too young, innocent, and doesn't care about etiquette at all.

Gu Cheng smiled slightly: "You're polite, everyone will learn from each other in the future." ”

The three chatted a little bit, and Gu Cheng found that CCTV's casting this time was a bit too good-looking. It is estimated that the director has no score for the character image of "Gold Powder", so he came directly to "Dream of Red Mansions".

Dong Jie and Gu Cheng both have only one literary film or TV series shooting qualifications. And Liu Feifei is only 14 years old, and she has no experience at all, and I don't know if it is a private product.

But then again, if it weren't for the chief's will to pat his head, how could they have a headache and a pain in their feet and invite Gu Cheng here.
