"Speaking of which, Mr. Qiu, thank you Brother Sanmao, Brother Sanmao not only participated in the investment in this movie, but also personally guided the selection of actors. The post-production was all completed by Brother Sanmao working overtime, and he even asked Mr. Wrinkle to change the name of the TV station in order to make the release time of this movie just in time for your TV station. Chen Jie said.

Qiu Degen heard Chen Jie say this, and hurriedly thanked Hong Jinbao: "I didn't expect Mr. Hong to help so much, I will write down this kindness Qiu someone." ”

Hong Jinbao knew that Chen Jie said this to help him befriend Qiu Degen, so he hurriedly said politely

"Mr. Qiu, don't say that, making movies is my job! The promotion of the movie depends more on Mr. Qiu! ”

"Mr. Hong can rest assured that I will not only let the TV station broadcast the promotional video of this movie. In addition, I will pay for a movie ticket for each TV station employee. On the one hand, it is used as an employee benefit of the TV station, and on the other hand, it is also to support the film. Qiu Degen said.

"Then thank you Mr. Qiu, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future!" Hong Jinbao said.

"It's a certainty." Qiu Degen said politely.

"Applejack, I know you and Mr. Hong are heading to the United States soon. So I'd like to ask you about it now. Do you have any thoughts on the filming of the TV series "Zombie Daochang"? Xu Xiaoming asked.

"Director Xu, you are the gold medal producer of Li's TV station! Your "Huo Yuanjia" has swept Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and even Southeast Asia! In terms of TV series, you are much better than me and Brother Sanmao! How did you come up with the idea to ask me this question? Chen Jie said.

"Applejack, don't joke with me. You don't know how much pressure I'm under now, the first TV drama script written by you, the screenwriter with the most guaranteed box office in Hong Kong, if you mess up, others won't think that your script is not well written, they will only think that I, the director and producer, can't do it. Xu Xiaoming said.

Chen Jie was stunned after hearing Xu Xiaoming's words, he had never thought of this.

"I didn't expect to put so much pressure on Director Xu!" Chen Jie said.

"So, I'd like to hear Applejack, do you have any thoughts on this Zombie Daoist?" Xu Xiaoming said.

Chen Jie thought for a while and said, "The protagonist must let Brother Ying play it, no one can play that charm except him!" ”

Hearing Chen Jie say this, Xu Xiaoming nodded, in fact, the most ideal actor in his heart is also Lin Zhengying. When filming "Mr. Zombie", Xu Xiaoming found that Lin Zhengying was very suitable for this kind of role.

"In addition, I have two suggestions here, but I don't know which one you want to use!" Chen Jie said.

Hearing Chen Jie say this, Xu Xiaoming's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly." ”

"The first suggestion is relatively expensive, and the original cast of "Mr. Zombie" is used to shoot "Zombie Taoist"! As long as the box office of "Mr. Zombie" is a big hit, don't worry about the ratings of "Zombie Daochang"! And the promotion of "Mr. Zombie" is in place, and I dare to hold that the box office will definitely not be less than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. Chen Jie said.

Hearing Chen Jie say this, not only Xu Xiaoming's interest was adjusted, but even Hong Jinbao and Qiu Degen's interest was also adjusted! Hong Jinbao is because if Qiu Degen really has Chen Jie's opinion, then it is their Hong family class that will benefit the most. And Qiu Degen really thought that if the box office of "Mr. Zombie" could reach 20 million, then if they invited the original cast of "Mr. Zombie" to shoot "Zombie Taoist", the ratings can only be described in two words - sensational. And his acquisition of the TV station is in need of such a sensational TV series to make a name for himself! So Qiu Degen has actually decided that if "Mr. Zombie" can really be so popular with Chen Jie after it is released, he doesn't care about spending more money to make this TV series.

"What's the second suggestion?" Xu Xiaoming asked.

"Brother Ying's role can't be replaced by anyone, but you can properly train newcomers to the TV station for other roles. Although the ratings may not be as popular as the first suggestion, it will make the audience familiar with the new people you want to cultivate. This is more beneficial to the long-term development of the TV station! Chen Jie said.

Xu Xiaoming also fell into contemplation after listening to Chen Jie's words, these two suggestions are difficult for him to choose! In the long run, they should opt for the second proposal. But the TV station is now in dire need of a big opening drama with hot ratings. For a while, Xu Xiaoming didn't know what to do, and looked at Qiu Degen!

Qiu Degen saw Xu Xiaoming looking at him, so he said, "Use the first suggestion, although we may spend more money, but the benefits are really attractive!" We urgently need a big drama with hot ratings to prove to everyone that we are ATV! Xiaoming's TV series will be handed over to you, if you have any questions, you can find me directly! ”

Xu Xiaoming heard Qiu Degen say this, nodded hurriedly and said, "Mr. Qiu, don't worry, I will never let you down." I will definitely make this TV series a classic! ”

"Mr. Hong, we still need the support of your Hong family class for this TV series, I hope you can give it a convenience!" Qiu Degen said.

"Mr. Qiu said yes, and I'll say hello to the brothers when I get back. Ajie and I are going to the United States in two days, and Hong Jiaban has no recent shooting plans! I will ask the brothers of the Hong family class to fully cooperate with you in filming this TV series! Hong Jinbao said.

"Thank you Mr. Hong!" Qiu Degen said.

"Mr. Qiu, don't be so polite, there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future, don't always thank you like this. Helping each other is as it should be! Hong Jinbao said with a smile.

"Mr. Hong said it well!"

Where are Hong Jinbao and Qiu Degen polite, but Xu Xiaoming pulled Chen Jie and said.

"Applejack, do you have any more suggestions?"

"Director Xu, you don't treat me as an immortal, where are there so many good suggestions!" Chen Jie said.

"Applejack, we have a good relationship. You can't watch me make a fool of myself. Don't hide your thoughts! Xu Xiaoming said.

Chen Jie thought for a while, looked at Xu Xiaoming and said, "Actually, there is indeed a way to increase the ratings, but the cost of this method is too great, and the production cycle is also very long." It's not suitable for this TV series! ”

"What's the solution?" Xu Xiaoming said with some excitement.

"Add some special effects shots. Hong Kong TV dramas have not yet appeared in special effects shots! If you join in, it will definitely cause a sensation. But the cost is too high! A shot requires hundreds of thousands or even millions of investment," Chen Jie said.

Xu Xiaoming also fell into deep thought after hearing Chen Jie's words, I have to say that Chen Jie's idea is very bold, and there is no TV series in Hong Kong that uses special effects! Because the cost is too high. Not to mention TV series, even some movies can't afford it! But if they can really apply special effects to the TV series, Xu Xiaoming has to admit that this is indeed a bold idea!

"Applejack, your idea is really good and bold. I have to admit that if you really incorporate some special effects shots, it will definitely cause a sensation. Unfortunately, it is not suitable now. There are many fight scenes in TV series, and if you want to do special effects, the cost is much higher than that of the movie, and our TV series must be fast, and we must make our ATV famous! It's such a waste of time to deal with special effects! Xu Xiaoming said.

"That's why I said that this idea is not suitable for TV dramas now, and it will only be possible when the special effects technology matures!" Chen Jie said.

Xu Xiaoming also felt a little regretful after listening to Chen Jie's words!

After the four chatted for a while, Hong Jinbao and Chen Jie left. After Hong Jinbao sent Chen Jie home, he had to go to Baohe to greet the people in Hong's class, and asked them to cooperate with Xu Xiaoming to shoot the TV series "Zombie Taoist". And Chen Jie returned home to accompany Zhao Yuzhi's mother and son.

The next day, Chen Jie didn't do anything, and accompanied Zhao Yuzhi and Hongzai to have a good day, until Hongzai went to bed in the evening, and then returned to Chen Jie's home with Zhao Yuzhi.
