Chapter 90: Forced by the Situation

Xu Xiaoming hadn't made up his mind whether to go to Lin Xi for help, but a piece of news stunned him.

Wireless won the copyright of "Dragon Babu" from Jin Yong, and will put this classic martial arts novel on the screen in the near future.

Looking at the list of actors announced by TVB, Xu Xiaoming suddenly had a feeling that the comer was not good.

Liang Jiaren, Tang Zhenye, and Huang Rihua, who played the three leading actors, are all popular students of the new generation of wireless, and the heroines Chen Yulian, Huang Xingxiu, and Yang Panpan are also all Hua Dan who are ready to be supported by wireless, plus the old drama bones Guan Haishan and Xie Xian are on the side to help...... Wireless came up with such a cast to remake "Dragon Babu", obviously to get back the field lost in the drama "Chu Liuxiang" during this time.

After receiving the news, Qiu Degen immediately called Xu Xiaoming to discuss countermeasures.

"It seems that wireless is ready to fight us this time!"

Qiu Degen leaned back in the Taipan chair and glanced at Xu Xiaoming, who was standing at his desk.

"If ATV's self-made TV series and TVB's drama collide, how sure do you think you can be?"

"I'm afraid the odds are not great......" Xu Xiaoming's mouth felt a little bitter, his eyes drooped, and he didn't dare to look at Qiu Degen.

In fact, you don't need to look at it to know that Qiu Degen must have been very disappointed when he heard this.

"Okay,It's not your responsibility alone,If Li's TV can fight TVB,The Australian consortium won't sell the shares to me,Since TVB is going to do this,Then I'll accompany you!"

Qiu Degen waved his hand, and he already had a decision in his heart:

"You go to Oriental Film and Television Company immediately, and talk to Lin Xi on my behalf, as long as he can make another TV series like "Chu Liuxiang", the price of each episode will be increased by 20,000 yuan, and any conditions he puts forward can be considered and agreed!"

Xu Xiaoming was stunned when he heard this.

ATV's purchase of "Chu Liuxiang" is 150,000 per episode, and 50 episodes are 7.5 million, although the response to this drama after the broadcast is amazing, ATV is actually not a loss, but compared with the cost of TV drama production at this time, such a purchase price is still very high.

Even if "Chu Liuxiang" added a lot of location shooting and stunts to Lin Xi in this drama, the total cost was only more than three million, and it would be double the profit if it was sold to ATV, which was indeed too easy to come by in the eyes of others.

Of course, Xu Xiaoming's opinion will not be so amateurish, he knows that this money must at least deduct the copyright fee for the adaptation of the novel "Chu Liuxiang" into a TV series, Lin Xi's remuneration as a director and screenwriter, and the real money earned by selling low and high is only a few hundred thousand.

But now as soon as Qiu Degen opened his mouth, he raised the price of each episode by another 20,000, and calculated according to the standard of fifty episodes, it is equivalent to paying Lin Xi an extra 1 million, which is really not a small number.

Qiu Degen saw the doubts in Xu Xiaoming's heart, and took the initiative to explain: "You think this condition is a bit high, but in fact, this price may not be able to impress Lin Xi, don't forget, now we have to ask him!" ”

Xu Xiaoming came to his senses at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart.

Qiu Degen didn't blame Xu Xiaoming for not seeing the shape clearly, but sighed softly.

"This time the wireless is obviously prepared, and the adaptation is Jin Yong's novel, who else can I find if I don't look for Lin Xi? If ATV's production department could have been more competitive, I wouldn't have been as embarrassed as I am now. ”

Xu Xiaoming felt more and more ashamed when he heard this, and he lowered his head and didn't know what to say.

"Okay, I'm just sighing with emotion, the shape is like this, I can't help but you and I don't bow my head, but after this period of time, wireless is no longer fighting a ratings war against us, I still hope that ATV's production department can make some achievements, especially the drama I asked you to be responsible for, and when the script is set, hurry up and shoot it." I don't promise much else, as long as this drama is filmed, the position of the manager of the ATV production department is yours! ”

Qiu Degen's words touched Xu Xiaoming a lot, especially the position of the manager of the manufacturing department, it would be absolutely false to say that Xu Xiaoming was not impressed, but he also knew that it was not so simple to meet Qiu Degen's requirements.

It seems that this matter really has to ask Lin Xi for help as Cheng Xiaodong said.

Coming out of Qiu Degen's office, Xu Xiaoming didn't even go back to his office, and directly set off to the Oriental Film and Television Company.

When he arrived at the place, Xu Xiaoming almost thought that he had gone to the wrong floor, because he saw that many workers here were moving various office equipment in and out, and even a few blister words of Oriental Film and Television Company on the wall behind the reception had been taken down, and the traces of glue that had been glued at the beginning had not been wiped clean.

Xu Xiaoming was about to grab a worker and ask what was going on, when he saw Zhao Yazhi walking out of it holding a cardboard box, which contained some of her personal office supplies.

Xu Xiaoming stepped forward to help Zhao Yazhi take the cardboard box in her hand, but Zhao Yazhi refused.

"No, no, Mr. Xu, this box is very light, and I didn't take any heavy things, they were all handed over to the workers to move."

Seeing that Zhao Yazhi was holding the box was really not very difficult, Xu Xiaoming didn't insist anymore.

"Miss Zhao, are you going to move?"

"Actually, it's not a move, it's just a move from this floor to the upper floor, and the place is bigger."

Zhao Yazhi explained to Xu Xiaoming as she walked, and she didn't put the box down until she entered the elevator, so she hugged and talked to Xu Xiaoming.

The elevator quickly reached the upper floor, and after coming out, Xu Xiaoming found that the entire floor had been rented by the Oriental Film and Television Company, and all kinds of decorations had been done, and many of the things that the workers next to him were moving in and out were newly purchased.

"Miss Zhao is ready to expand the company so soon?"

The nominal general manager of Oriental Film and Television Company is Zhao Yazhi, so it is not inappropriate for Xu Xiaoming to ask this.

"This is my idea, Lin Xi wants to do this." Zhao Yazhi smiled helplessly at Xu Xiaoming, "He said that the company is slowly getting bigger, and it is better to change to a more spacious place to work, and recently he has set up a brokerage company, and the related business is managed together under the Oriental Film and Television Company, and the little space downstairs is definitely not enough." ”

Xu Xiaoming had heard Lin Xi mention the establishment of a brokerage company a long time ago, and the two newcomers signed by Lin Xi were only stuffed into Li's (now renamed ATV) artist training class through Xu Xiaoming's relationship, but he didn't expect Lin Xi to set up a brokerage company so quickly.

Thinking that Lin Xi abducted an actor Zhang Rongrong, who he was very optimistic about, by recording the theme song of "Chu Liuxiang", Xu Xiaoming had a little more confidence in saying that he would move Lin Xi to help.

Lin Xi owes him a favor for this matter, and now that he asks for help, Lin Xi has no reason to refuse.
