As a new generation of directors, Teng Huatao has been directing independently since 96, and has also filmed a lot of scenes now, but there have been no particularly outstanding works, and it is undoubtedly difficult to attract tens of millions of investment in Lu Yan's opinion.

The domestic entertainment industry has been booming in recent years, compared with foreign countries, although it has caught up in quantity, but it is much inferior in quality, American dramas and Korean dramas sell well all over the world, but domestic dramas have rarely gone abroad over the years.

Therefore, directing is not a rare profession in China, and how much you can invest in a drama depends more on the director's own fame.

With tens of millions of investments, the two directly gave up lobbying small and medium-sized film and television investment companies, and set their sights on several large companies such as Huayi, Poly Bona, and Xinbaoyuan.

Although Beijing is still the hardest hit area, on July 2, the two still did not return to the house and got on the plane in Beijing.

Previously, Teng Huatao contacted the heads of several companies separately, and Poly Bona, as a film-led company, directly refused after hearing Teng Huatao's asking price.

Xin Baoyuan and Huayi's attitude is much more ambiguous, after reading the electronic version of the script, they did not immediately refuse like Poly Bona, but they did not express a clear investment intention, ambiguous.

This is also the reason why the two flew to Beijing, and the fact that they did not refuse proves that there is still hope.

on the plane

"Brother Tao, don't you have any news from several other companies"?

During this time, Teng Huatao almost contacted powerful companies in China, but there were few responses.

**The tide is coming to an end, and all major companies are ready to do a big job, and there is simply not so much liquidity to invest in such a drama with unknown results.

Teng Huatao sighed and said: "The connection is connected, but the highest one is only four million, what can four million do now, even the actor's salary is not enough."

"Do you still want to build an all-out first-line lineup?"

"It's not all, this is not making a movie, even if it is a movie, you can't get out without one or two first-line formations, you have heard a lot of rumors during this time, and after a break for more than half a year, I dare to say that in February and March next year, at least thirty dramas will be released at the same time, and if we can't pull one or two eye-catching lines, then we will be busy in vain"

Lu Yan suddenly remembered something: "I'm completely embarrassed if you say that."

Teng Huatao didn't understand what he meant: "What are you embarrassed about"?

"I'm not famous," Lu Yan said, "It just doesn't match your star lineup."

Teng Huatao said: "You also underestimate Zhang Jizhong, although he has been scolded a lot over the years, which drama he filmed has been at the bottom of the ratings"?

"That's what I said"

..。。

"Hello Mr. Zhao"

In an office, the two said with a smile, and opposite the two stood a middle-aged man in his early forties, Zhao Ding, the vice president in charge of Xin Baoyuan's TV drama business: "Director Teng is really young and promising", after saying this, Zhao Ding looked at Lu Yan suspiciously: "This is"?

Teng Huatao introduced: "This is a friend of mine, and I am ready to play Liu Zheng by him."

Zhao Ding was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, and said to Teng Huatao: "Let's get straight to the point, I've already read the book, it's very good, but to be honest, an investment of 10 million is really not a trivial matter, and if I guess correctly, Director Teng's inspiration for creating the script should come from 24 hours."

Teng Huatao nodded: "I can understand, but most of these are used for the actors' salaries, and in my plan, there are a lot of flying cars and explosion scenes in the play."

Zhao Ding listened to Teng Huatao quietly, and then said with a smile: "I think Director Teng misunderstood what I meant, we discussed it privately, I want to buy this book, I don't know what Director Teng means"?

Teng Huatao and Lu Yan both understood, people want to get rid of him and go it alone, Xin Baoyuan has no shortage of directors, let alone powerful actors, buy this book and shoot it yourself, the funds can be reduced a lot, even if you lose, it is within the range of bearability.

Teng Huatao shook his head without hesitation and said, "Maybe Mr. Zhao doesn't know, I have been writing this book for a year, and it is my hard work, and I want to shoot him out with my own hands."

Zhao Ding said with a pity on his face: "That's really a pity, but the business is not benevolent, I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Seeing that the other party had already issued an eviction order, the two did not stay longer, and when they left the office building of Xin Baoyuan, the mood of the two was not very high.

Anyone who runs from Zhejiang to Beijing with great anticipation will not be too happy after finding out that they have no intention of investing at all.

The pedestrians on the street were sparsely packed, and occasionally a few were also tightly wrapped, and the two waited on the side of the road for a long time, and finally waited for a car.

Standing downstairs in Huayi Film and Television, Lu Yan glanced up at the top floor and said, "There is only this one left."

Teng Huatao's eyes were firm and said: "This time only success is allowed, not failure"!

Similar to Xin Baoyuan, Huayi is also the vice president in charge of the two people, Wang Zhonglei.

After the secretary led the two to Wang Zhonglei's office, Wang Zhonglei greeted the two familiarly: "Sit down, what do you drink"?

"Mr. Wang doesn't have to be polite, the water will be"

Wang Zhonglei knew Teng Huatao, but he thought that Lu Yan was a screenwriter, so he didn't ask much, and asked the secretary to pour two glasses of water before saying: "It looks like I just got off the plane, have you eaten, why don't you go to have a meal together, just to wash the dust for the two of you"?

The two got off the plane, and then went straight to Xin Baoyuan, and they didn't have time to take a breath until now, and their faces were dusty.

Wang Zhonglei is dressed very young, with a blue shirt and denim, but just a few words give people a very mature feeling.

Lu Yan looked at the office, it was very simple, the office area was not large, a semicircular desk, opposite was a long sofa for two people to sit on, and there was an old bookshelf on the side, on which were placed several rows of books and boxes containing discs.

Teng Huatao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Thank you Mr. Wang for your kindness, we have already eaten it just now, I don't know if Mr. Wang is still dissatisfied with the script"?

Lu Yan also looked at Wang Zhonglei at this time, and from Wang Zhonglei's previous attitude, it can be seen that the other party still has investment intentions, but he just doesn't know how sincere this is.

Filming is the same as doing business, asking for a price to pay back, although Teng Huatao asked for 10 million, he was actually satisfied with the investment of 8 million.

Wang Zhonglei smiled and said: "The script is very good, I also appreciate Director Teng's talent, Director Teng can hand the book to our company, which is also a trust in our company", paused, and said with a smile: "I think we can actually change the way of cooperation."

Teng Huatao didn't know what Wang Zhonglei was paying attention to, and asked cautiously: "What does Mr. Wang mean"?

"I don't know if Director Teng has any intention of joining our company, of course, I must have a lot of 10 million"
