As soon as the novel "The Peerless Twins" came out, it lived up to expectations and conquered all readers with a wonderful plot. And Sima Er's new book "Canghai Dragon Emperor", which is also pinned on by everyone, has been until now, it is still plain and bland, and there is not much attraction.

If it weren't for Sima Er's reputation and the lessons of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", I am afraid everyone would have to scold.

Regarding the success of "The Peerless Twins", Chen Qi saw it in his eyes, which he had long expected.

In the original era, "The Peerless Double Pride" was a milestone in Gu Long's martial arts novels, and Gu Long directly stepped into the ranks of super-first-class martial arts writers from a first-class martial arts writer with "The Peerless Double Pride".

Now the chapters of "The Peerless Twins" are only the beginning, and when the protagonists Xiao Yuer and Hua Wujian come out, it will only be more exciting, and the wonderful Cheng dù of this novel is definitely beyond everyone's imagination.

Chen Qi believes that the popularity of "The Peerless Twins" will not be lost to "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

……

On this day, Chen Qi came to Jiangnan Satellite TV at the appointment.

"Mr. Chen, please take a seat."

Deputy Director Wei Minglin smiled, was very polite, and personally poured a cup of tea for Chen Qi.

"Thank you. Director Wei, you are too polite. Chen Qi hurriedly took the teacup and said.

"It's okay, with the talent of the little brother, you can afford it." Wei Minglin smiled: "Don't call me the director, just call me Old Wei." I'm crazy about how old you are, so let's call you brother. ”

"Brother Wei." Chen Qi shouted.

Wei Minglin looked at the young man in front of him with a warm face and a smile like a spring breeze, and he also sighed in his heart.

He is only in his twenties now, and he has achieved this, so what will he achieve in another ten years, another twenty years?

Promising!

These four words flashed in Wei Minglin's heart.

"The ratings of the "Legend of the White-Haired Witch" TV series in recent weeks have been around 4.0, although this show has not finished broadcasting, but it is certain that the average rating of the whole show should be above 3.5."

Wei Minglin said: "According to the average rating of 3.0, our TV station will pay a price of 1.35 million per episode. I've got my finances ready and ready to transfer. ”

"Thank you, Brother Wei." Chen Qi said sincerely.

"The price of 1.35 million episodes is already a rare high price, not to mention that the drama "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" must be more than this price. If only I hadn't signed that VAM agreement with you before. ”

Wei Minglin said half-jokingly.

"Brother Wei, your TV station will only make more." Chen Qi smiled.

Last time he came to Jiangnan Satellite TV with the first few episodes of the TV series "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", Wei Minglin was amazed after watching the TV series, and proposed a price of 1 million per episode at that time, wanting to buy the exclusive premiere rights of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch".

However, Chen Qi refused and proposed a VAM agreement.

The TV series "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" was sold to Jiangnan Satellite TV at a price of 700,000 per episode. If the average rating of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is higher than the benchmark rating in the future, the price of a single episode will increase by 50,000 for every 0.1 higher ratings.

This benchmark rating refers to the average ratings of Jiangnan Satellite TV during that time period.

"The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" was broadcast on Jiangnan Satellite TV's weekend prime time, and according to calculations, the average rating of Jiangnan Satellite TV during this time period was about 1.7. In other words, if the average rating of the TV series "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is 1.8, then its price will rise by 50,000.

At that time, although Wei Minglin was very optimistic about the TV series "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", it was at this time when the TV series "Tianhe Demon Sword Record" was in full swing, so after Chen Qi proposed a gambling agreement, Wei Minglin also agreed.

This is also why Wei Minglin said at the time that he couldn't refuse the drama "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch". Because according to this agreement, Jiangnan Satellite TV will make a steady profit.

Wei Minglin put down the teacup and glanced at Chen Qi deeply, it seemed that the young man in front of him probably had absolute confidence from the beginning, otherwise how could he choose such a risky gambling agreement.

"I heard that my brother is planning to start filming the TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu", I don't know if I would like to cooperate with our Jiangnan Satellite TV again?" Wei Minglin said.

The reason why Wei Minglin is willing to pay part of the money in advance before the TV series "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" has not finished broadcasting is mainly for Chen Qi's next martial arts drama.

"Of course. Under the same circumstances, Jiangnan Satellite TV will definitely be preferred. Chen Qi said.

Wei Minglin nodded with satisfaction.

Broadcast the TV series "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", Jiangnan Satellite TV is also a beneficiary, Chen Qi does not owe Jiangnan Satellite TV anything, and Wei Minglin is already very happy to get a priority commitment.

After Chen Qi and Wei Minglin talked some more gossip, they said goodbye and left.

……

Seeing that the 54 million paid by Jiangnan Satellite TV arrived in his account, Chen Qi was also happy, he finally had money, and he didn't have to go into debt anymore. also gave 10 million to Qinglong Film and Television, and invested 30 million in the TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu", then there is still 14 million left to use freely.

The total budget of the TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is 70 million, half of which is paid by Qiming Entertainment and Qinglong Film and Television, and the copyright of the original novel is counted as 5 million, so Chen Qi only needs to invest another 30 million.

A few days later, Chen Qi and Xia Lin met.

Now that the filming of the "Legend of the White-Haired Witch" TV series has ended, Xia Lin has begun to prepare for the "Smiling Proud Jianghu" TV series.

"Boss, except for the heroine, the other actors have basically been determined. I think next month, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" will be filmed. Xia Lin said.

Chen Qi smiled and said, "Don't be too anxious. The heroine still needs to be carefully picked. ”

"Can you not be in a hurry?"

Xia Lin said: "At the beginning of spring this year, Changhong Film and Television spent 70 or 80 million yuan to remake "Iron Blood Dan Heart". ”

"Iron Blood Pill Heart?"

Chen Qi was stunned, "Iron Blood Pill Heart" is one of Duan Shendao's masterpieces, more than ten years ago, as soon as the "Iron Blood Pill Heart" TV series was broadcast, it achieved a huge sensation, breaking the record of cleaning up at that time, and every year or two in the future, "Iron Blood Pill Heart" will be rebroadcast once, and it still has good ratings.

"This drama is also going to be filmed in the style of a new martial arts drama?" Chen Qi asked.

"Of course. Otherwise, you won't have such a high budget. Xia Lin replied.

Hearing this, Chen Qi couldn't help laughing.

"The novel "Iron Blood Pill Heart" was originally an old-school martial arts, and this drama is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, now it is changed to the style of a new martial arts drama, and it is strange not to be scolded to death."

"Some people have raised this concern, but the investor has now recognized the new martial arts drama and increased the budget, but wants to change to other styles without talking." Xia Lin spread his hands and said.

"So the "Iron Blood Dan Heart" TV series will not be the opponent of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Let's just do it. Chen Qi said.

Xia Lin nodded.

Now the TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu" lacks a heroine, in fact, there are many actresses who are suitable for this role, but most of them have contracts with other film and television companies.

The TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is destined to be a big hit, and Chen Qi doesn't want to make wedding dresses for others. The person who plays the heroine of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" must be Qiming Entertainment.

"Brother Xia will work a little harder, pick more, and you can always find a suitable newcomer." Chen Qi said.

"Of course."

Xia Lin nodded, now he is also a part of Qiming Entertainment, the better the development of Qiming Entertainment, the more promising he will be.

……

After separating from Xia Lin, Chen Qigang was about to go home, when Lin Bai suddenly called.
