Chapter 18 Conditions
The next day, as soon as Wang Tianlin arrived at the company, he was called into Shaw's office.
Shaw sat in the executive chair behind his desk and watched him refreshed and his voice was loud...... Who can believe that he is already an old man of seventy-seven years old?
"Tianlin is here, sit down." Shaw graciously pointed to the sofa opposite.
Fang Yihua, who was standing next to Run Run Shaw, came over and poured a glass of water for Wang Tianlin, Wang Tianlin didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly got up from the sofa and took it with both hands. Although she was registered as Run Run Shaw's concubine, Run Run Shaw's wife is still in the United States, so everyone in the company only calls her Miss Fang.
The noble white suit with neat short hair made Fang Yihua look graceful and luxurious, but Wang Tianlin had seen this woman's methods. Fang Yihua acted decisively and resolutely, and always looked at the results and did not talk about any favors. But at the same time, she is very smart, and she is in a high position but has no intention of taking power, so Shaw has always been very reassuring to her - he is old and needs a shrewd and capable woman to take care of the company for him.
Fang Yihua has her own office, she appeared in Run Run Shaw's office at this time, Wang Tianlin will inevitably have some different ideas in his heart, and sure enough, as soon as Run Run Shaw opened his mouth, he knew that things were not good.
"Tianlin, I heard that your son has a good relationship with that kid named Lin Youlun?"
Wang Tianlin suddenly became nervous, cheered up, and replied cautiously: "They are just ordinary friends...... I can't talk about a deep friendship. ”
"Then how can you have a script written by Lin Youlun in your hand?"
A meaningful smile floated on the corner of Run Run Shaw's mouth, which made Wang Tianlin surprised and suspicious, and now he has nothing to hide, so he just explained this matter clearly in front of Run Run Shaw.
"The script was indeed brought by my son, and I read it, and the story is really well written. It's just that I'm worried that Lin Youlun's asking price is too high, and I haven't made up my mind in my heart, so I haven't told you about it. ”
Shaw was overjoyed, "So the script is really in your hands?" ”
Wang Tianlin was confused, and for a while he couldn't understand what Shaw's attitude was, but Fang Yihua said with a smile: "Producer Wang, you have made a great contribution to the company this time!" ”
Fang Yihua said this, Wang Tianlin finally figured out some taste, what Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua really cared about was not the script in his hand, but the person who wrote the script. ”
Run Run Shaw immediately made a decision and asked Wang Tianlin to negotiate cooperation with Lin Youlun on behalf of TVB, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he offered Lin Youlun's script a high price of 100,000 yuan per episode.
Run Run Shaw said this with great interest, but Wang Tianlin's eyes involuntarily glanced at Fang Yihua.
Whether it is Shaw Brothers or Wireless, it pursues a large-scale studio system, and the management of shooting funds has always been very strict. Director Li Hanxiang, who used to be the sole leader of the Shaw Brothers, wanted to ask for more funds to shoot exterior locations when filming "Wu Song", but was ruthlessly rejected by Fang Yihua in the name of cost control, and sent him to shoot the Fengyue film with the best income.
Run Run Shaw spent such a large amount of money, but Fang Yihua did not object, which made Wang Tianlin feel very puzzled.
Wang Tianlin has always been worried that wireless will not be able to negotiate with Lin Youlun on the price of the script, but he didn't expect that this trip would solve the matter so easily.
——
When he came out of Run Run Shaw's office, Wang Tianlin hung up the phone to Wang Jing first, and asked Wang Jing to probe Lin Youlun's tone first, otherwise he would come to the door directly, if Lin Youlun refused, then his old face would really have nowhere to stay.
As soon as Wang Tianlin put down the phone, his apprentice Du Qifeng pushed the door and walked in.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
Wang Tianlin took out a script from the locked drawer and beckoned to Du Qifeng, "You take this script back and think about it, and you will be the director of this drama when you turn around." ”…,
In general, Wang Tianlin would first ask Du Qifeng's opinion, but this time, he directly asked To Qifeng to shoot this drama.
Du Qifeng was a little unsure of Wang Tianlin's thoughts for a while, and he was a little overwhelmed with the script.
Wang Tianlin patted Du Qifeng's shoulder, "Uncle Sixth attaches great importance to this drama, Miss Fang will also fully support it, I won't put any pressure on you, prepare well, don't embarrass me when the time comes!" ”
The expression on Du Qifeng's face changed from doubt to gratitude, and he nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I will cherish this opportunity." ”
Wang Tianlin wanted to tell Du Qifeng two more words, but the phone on the table rang.
Wang Tianlin grabbed the microphone and motioned to Du Qifeng to wait for him to answer the phone first.
"Who?"
"Dad, you've done what you gave me." Wang Jing's voice on the other end of the phone came like a treasure.
What Wang Tianlin didn't like the most was that Wang Jing was talking to himself so improperly, he coughed vigorously to express his dissatisfaction, and then asked: "He agreed to the price of the script?" ”
Wang Jing boasted: "You don't look at who is out of the horse, as soon as I told him, he immediately agreed." ”
"Did he make any other requests?"
"The problem of his money is a trivial matter, but the protagonist of this TV series has to be determined by him......"
"Nonsense!" Wang Tianlin was so angry that he almost smashed the microphone directly, "When I filmed "Shooting the Condor", Jin Yong never made such a request, who did he think he was? ”
"Listen to me first, in fact, I don't think his request is too much......"
"You tell him directly, there's nothing to talk about about it!" Wang Tianlin hung up the phone and didn't give Wang Jing a chance to explain at all.
The phone rang again, and after thinking for a long time, Wang Tianlin didn't want to answer it, so he asked Du Qifeng to answer it on his behalf.
Du Qifeng was driven to the shelf, holding the microphone for a long time without holding out a word, Wang Jing thought he had typed the wrong number, and after hanging up, he called again, and found that he was still the silent guy.
"You just tell him that there's nothing to talk about!"
Wang Tianlin told Du Qifeng what to say, and Du Qifeng told Wang Jing what he said.
Wang Jing only told Du Qifeng the names of the two actors, and Du Qifeng was afraid that he would forget, so he took a pen and wrote it down on paper.
Wang Tianlin glanced at the piece of paper, and his expression suddenly became hesitant.
Du Qifeng hung up the phone, and Wang Tianlin then asked: "Are these two people really what he told you?" ”
After Du Qifeng confirmed it personally, Wang Tianlin didn't speak again, he touched his fat chin, and his heart was full of contradictions.
Based on his reaction just now, he would never give any consideration to the two role candidates proposed by Lin Youlun, but when he saw the names "Weng Meiling and Liang Chaowei", he couldn't help but hesitate.
This Lin Youlun will really give people problems!
