127 [Invitation to shoot TV series]
Lin Qingxia was lying on the desk looking at the book, but looking at her face full of pain, I don't know how much she could look in.
Next to him, Wang Zijun and Lin Lixia were gnawing on the braised chicken legs made by Lin's mother, Lin Lixia smacked her mouth while eating, and sighed: "The children in the graduating class are so pitiful, they don't even eat chicken legs." ”
"You're deliberately greedy for your sister, aren't you?" Wang Zijun patted Lin Lixia's head, and after speaking, he also took an exaggerated bite.
Lin Lixia pouted, "Aren't you the same?" Oops, sister, the chicken thighs are so delicious, do you want one? As she spoke, she snickered with Wang Zijun.
Lin Qingxia covered her ears at first, but she couldn't stand her sister's chatter, and finally threw the book aside, and said angrily: "I can't stand it, don't read it!" ”
Wang Zijun walked over and closed the book, and said with a smile: "Temporary cramming, the exam will be tomorrow, what's the use of you reviewing now?" It's better to have a good time. ”
Lin Qingxia walked a few steps, threw herself on the sofa, and said bitterly: "I can't get into college, my father will definitely scold me to death." ”
"What's the use of going to college?" Lin Lixia ran over and leaned against her sister and said, "Anyway, now Zijun is the director, and you will be a star in the future, someone is chasing you for autographs every day, and you can make a lot of money!" ”
"Money junkies." Lin Qingxia scolded with a smile.
"Come, eat chicken legs." Lin Lixia stuffed the chicken leg into her sister's mouth, and instructed Wang Zijun, "Zijun, go and bring the book "Smoke and Rain" ("Love is Deep and Rainy") at my bedside, I want to listen to the story!" ”
"Okay, you're the eldest lady." Wang Zijun said with a smile.
Wang Zijun's rich voice is still very good when he reads the novel. Lin Qingxia hugged her sister and collapsed on the wide sofa, enjoying this warm atmosphere very much, thinking: It would be nice if I could lie down like this for the rest of my life and listen to stories, but it's a pity...... Exam tomorrow!
Lin Lixia listened and suddenly said, "Zijun, why don't you make a TV series?" Since Shi Yanwen (puppet show) was broadcast, the current TV series is not good-looking, and they are all boring to death. If "Smoke and Rain" can be made into a TV series, many people will definitely watch it. ”
"TV series?" Wang Zijun immediately remembered Zhao Yazhi's "The Legend of the New White Lady" and "Shanghai Tang", but after thinking about it, he lost interest. Now there are three TV stations in Taiwan, and making TV dramas can only rely on the Hong Kong and Southeast Asian TV markets to make money, so it is better to make movies.
Lin Lixia found another deck of playing cards and prepared to play cards to kill time.
Wang Zijun played two games and felt bored, so he suggested: "How about we change to a new way of playing?" ”
Sister Lin Qingxia asked curiously: "What is the new way to play?" ”
"It's called 'Fighting Rich Man'." Wang Zijun changed the name of the landlord and told the two sisters the rules.
Wang Zijun made a bet of 500 yuan alone, and Lin Lixia learned very quickly, and mastered some tricks after only a few games. It's a pity that Lin Qingxia's brain has been messed up with reading books in the past few days, and she lost all her capital in a daze.
Lin Lixia held a pile of banknotes, her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and laughed: "Pocket money, a lot of pocket money, I'm going to buy something delicious." ”
Mother Lin, who was sewing, said with a smile on the side: "Zijun, don't be used to this girl all the time." ”
"Jingle Bell ......"
The phone rang, Lin Mu picked up the phone, said a few words and shouted, "Zijun, it's your phone." ”
"My phone?" Wang Zijun was inexplicable, I don't know who called to find here.
Wang Zijun took the microphone: "Hey, hello, Wang Zijun." ”
"Hello Mr. Wang, I'm Liu Xianyun from China Television." A bass voice came over the phone.
Wang Zijun thought: The general manager of China Television? I didn't have a relationship with him, so I invited him to the premiere once, and I didn't say a word.
Liu Xianyun asked: "I want to invite Mr. Wang out for a light meal together, do you have time recently?" ”
Since you are invited to eat, it is natural that you have to ask for yourself. Wang Zijun couldn't figure out what was going on, but it was hard to refuse, so he said: "I'm free tomorrow, or I'll come to China TV directly." ”
Liu Xianyun said: "That's great, I'll be on the TV station all day tomorrow, waiting for you at any time." ”
"Tomorrow morning, then." Wang Zijun said.
"Yes."
Wang Zijun hung up the phone, wondering in his heart what Liu Xianyun was looking for him, but he couldn't figure it out.
"Do you have a job to do?" Lin Qingxia asked.
Wang Zijun nodded and said, "Well, someone has made an appointment to eat tomorrow." ”
Lin Lixia interjected: "It can't be a woman, right?" ”
Mother Lin came over and knocked on her daughter's forehead and said, "It's going to talk nonsense!" ”
"Oh, Mom, it hurts a lot when you knock, you're about to be knocked stupid." Lin Lixia complained.
…… Chunghwa Television is located in Taipei's Daan District, formerly known as Education Radio, which was officially launched at the end of October last year and belongs to the last of Taiwan's "Old Three Stations".
Wang Zijun came to China Television, and the employees here did not come around to chase stars like people outside, but there was something different in his eyes.
Last year, Wang Zijun was rated as the youngest self-made rich man in Taiwan, and with the popularity of "Bloody Lonely City", some financial magazines began to settle accounts for Wang Zijun again. They expect that after the release of "Bloody Lonely City" in Southeast Asia, Wang Zijun's various assets will add up to at least 30 million, which is equivalent to a billionaire in the mainland in the future.
18-year-old billionaire, oh no, 19 in a minute.
"Mr. Wang, please." Liu Xianyun's female secretary greeted her with a smile, and when she walked, she seemed to be very close to Wang Zijun, but Wang Zijun deliberately kept her distance, which made the female secretary quite boring. knocked on Liu Xianyun's door, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Wang has arrived." ”
"Please come in!" The secretary opened the door, Liu Xianyun had already stood up from his seat, and when Wang Zijun walked into the room, he took Wang Zijun's hand with a smile and said, "Mr. Wang is finally here, a rare guest!" ”
Wang Zijun was confused by Liu Xianyun, and he didn't know why he was so enthusiastic. I had to make a smile and said: "Mr. Liu beckoned, of course he can't delay." ”
After the female secretary brought the tea, she closed the door of the office.
Wang Zijun raised his eyes and looked around, his eyes fell on a banner on the wall, admired it for a while, glanced at the whereabouts, and then praised: "'It's difficult to be smart, especially difficult to be confused, and it's even more difficult to turn from being smart to being confused.'" Put it down, take a step back, feel at ease at the moment, and report it later'. Mr. Liu is really an elegant person, this Zheng Banqiao's 'rare confusion' is the essence of life. Calligraphy and content complement each other, clumsy corresponding, must be made by a famous artist. ”
"Hahaha." Although Liu Xianyun knew that Wang Zijun was deliberately patting him on the back, he was still very happy in his heart, and said, "My brother has lost his eyes, and I wrote this banner." Liu has no strength, so he can still get his hands on this hand. If Brother Wang likes it, I'll give it to you. ”
"No, no, a gentleman doesn't take the favor of others." Wang Zijun hurriedly waved his hand.
Liu Xianyun immediately stood on the bench, took down the banner and rolled it up, and said with a smile: "The red powder is given to the beauty, and the sword is given to the hero." Besides, the handwriting I write is not a precious item, so it is better to show it to the people who like it. ”
"If the elder doesn't dare to quit, then I'll accept it." Wang Zijun brought the banner over.
The two of them were polite, and they narrowed the distance.
Liu Xianyun said as he spoke, his face became embarrassed, and he sighed and said, "Brother Wang, I came to you this time, but I have something to ask for." ”
Only then did Wang Zijun respond: "If Mr. Liu has anything to say, as long as I have the ability to do it, I will never shirk." ”
Liu Xianyun asked: "Do you know the current operation of the three major TV stations on the island?" ”
Wang Zijun naturally knew that it was a loss, but on the surface, he said: "I think I should have made a lot of money." ”
Liu Xianyun waved his hand and said, "It's a loss." Dean Jiang gave me an order that within this year, I must make a profit, otherwise I will have to roll up and roll home to sell sweet potatoes. ”
"Hehe, it's not that exaggerated." Wang Zijun agreed, but secretly checked the information in his head: Since the first half of this year, China Television has begun to reform, implementing the policies of "advertising programming" and "program outsourcing", and broadcasting a large number of pharmaceutical advertisements and Hokkien TV dramas at the same time. By the end of the year, the loss turned into a profit, with a surplus of more than NT$2,300, and in this year, the annual loss of Taiwan Television was more than 600 yuan, and the annual loss of China Television was more than 2,500 yuan.
The mainstream trend in the development of television and radio media is the separation of production and broadcasting, and the West is still exploring it, and the mainland will not begin to reform until the 90s. Speaking of which, this Mr. Liu can be regarded as a capable person, and he actually began to try to implement it in 1972.
Liu Xianyun thought that Wang Zijun didn't understand media marketing, so he briefly explained to him before saying: "Therefore, if we want to make a profit, we still have to rely on advertising revenue in the end." And the advertising revenue depends on the ratings of the program. Now that China Television is start-up, variety shows are not as good as Taiwan TV and China TV, so I want to work the series. ”
Wang Zijun asked: "What does Mr. Liu mean, let me shoot a series?" ”
"Yes, it must be different, more exciting than the series of Taiwan TV and China Television, so as to attract the audience." Liu Xianyun said, "Since the last time I watched the movie made by my brother, I have this thought. ”
Taiwan's old three stations have their own backgrounds, Taiwan Television was made up by Soong Meiling, China Television was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek, and China Television was Chiang Ching-kuo. Liu Xianyun found Wang Zijun, in fact, part of the reason was to curry favor with Jiang Jingguo.
In this way, helping China Television to make a TV series is already a political task.
Wang Zijun could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll go down and plan immediately, and it will be completed in three months at most." ”
Liu Xianyun said happily: "That's great." I don't know what type of film my brother is going to make? ”
"What does Mr. Liu think of the story of Shanghai Tang? Will it be prohibited? Wang Zijun thought of Chow Yun-fat and Zhao Yazhi's "Shanghai Tang", he actually wanted to shoot "The Legend of the New White Lady", but the current special effects are too bad to do it.
Liu Xianyun said: "As long as you don't promote violence and murder, it's fine. ”
Wang Zijun said: "Mr. Liu, in fact, I think I can insert advertisements in TV dramas just like I did in movie promos. But don't be too long, or the audience will be upset. In this way, we can divide the advertisement into several criteria and charge, among which the most expensive in the film, the second before the film, and finally the end ......"
Wang Zijun instilled in Liu Xianyun the concept of TV series insertion advertising that later generations hated, and Liu Xianyun applauded him, so that the advertising fee was increased.
