The film project of "Exploration of Chinatown" is going very smoothly.

As a director, Pang Er is still quite satisfied with Xu Ji's script.

In addition, because the two main actors were decided at the beginning, it still saved a lot of casting time.

However, according to Pon's character, if it weren't for Xu Ji's request, filming would have started within this month.

It is estimated that he will be able to audition for some supporting roles in the follow-up until next month.

In addition, perhaps the performance of "Detective" in the National Day file is good enough this time, which makes Pang Er have more confidence.

There is no objection to the arrangement of the movie to be released in the Spring Festival file next.

......

"Director Xu, the post-production of the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has been completed."

Xu Ji was still writing the script of his next movie recently, and Zhu ***, the director of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", came to the door to say.

The completion time of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: Dragon Ridge Grotto" is actually quite early.

Of course, the filming phase doesn't take much time.

There are no big problems with the acting skills of the main actors in it, and Zhu Min is not the obsessive-compulsive character of Pang Er who likes to pick out details all the time.

But the reason why it took so long for a drama of about 20 episodes to be officially produced.

In fact, it is also expected.

After all, the most time-consuming and energy-consuming thing in the whole drama is the problem of pre-shooting, setting up and various props.

In addition, there are a lot of special effects shots in the post-production, which also takes a lot of time.

On the side of the mountain studio under Tongji Entertainment, even if it has expanded its enrollment crazily, there will still be a shortage of manpower.

Mountain Studios is basically no longer taking on post-production projects from some outside crews.

Serve the various crews of Tongji Entertainment wholeheartedly.

After all, the post-production special effects of Tongji Entertainment's various movies and dramas are enough for them to be busy.

Recently, in addition to the post-production of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which has just been completed, some other dramas have gradually begun to finish.

The post-production of "The Withered Heroes" is also in full swing.

In addition, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Wulin Gaiden" were filmed for a longer time because the length of the episodes was too long.

It is estimated that it will take some time before it is officially completed.

Fortunately, there are basically no special effects shots in the two post-productions.

Therefore, we should be able to complete the production smoothly this year.

"I'll take the time to go through it."

"If it's no problem, you can contact Station G to discuss and determine the broadcast time."

Xu Ji said.

This is a long-standing rule of Tongji Entertainment, and each drama needs to be completed by Xu Ji before it can be subsequently reviewed and scheduled for broadcast.

Seeing that Zhu Min wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Ji hurriedly stopped the other party.

"Don't ask me about the script, just rest for a while."

Zhu Min's mind was discovered by Xu Ji, so he could only nod helplessly.

Seeing the other party walk out of his office, Xu Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know what's going on, the directors under the company's company or something, are all kinds of emphasis on the time they need to rest.

When I arrived at Tongji Entertainment, after everyone finished filming each drama, they didn't want to rest for the first time, but came to Xu Ji to ask for the script of the next drama.

......

At Station G, Chi Jiang has been asking about the progress of the new drama on Tongji Entertainment for two consecutive months.

In the past two months, the number of paid members of Station G has continued to decline.

If it weren't for "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year" on the side of the animation department, it is estimated that the situation would be even worse.

It's not that Chi Jiang hasn't tried to find new dramas to fill the gap.

The current G station is actually not bad for money.

But the results were not satisfactory.

even spent more than 200 million yuan in copyright fees to buy a big-budget drama, but the response was mediocre after it was broadcast.

In the end, Station G still suffered a slight loss.

In such a situation, even if Chi Jiang is a little reluctant to admit it, the fact is that without Tongji Entertainment, they no longer have the feeling of invincibility that they used to have.

"Mr. Chi, Huahui sent someone over there."

The assistant knocked on Chi Jiang's door and spoke.

Chi Jiang nodded: "You take them to the conference room to wait for me first, and I'll go over later."

Huahui Pictures is the top film and television company in the industry.

Although the scale is not as large as that of the three major and Tongji Entertainment, it can also make a hit drama a year.

The strength is still quite good.

In order to promote cooperation with them and win the copyright of the other party's latest fantasy romance drama, Chi Jiang spent a lot of energy on it.

And this time, I finally had the opportunity to talk face-to-face with the other party.

......

Hua Hui came a total of three people this time.

In addition to the director and producer of their new drama "Peach Blossoms", there is also the current vice president of Huahui Pictures.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I've been a little delayed."

After Chi Jiang entered the conference room, he took the initiative to shake hands with the vice president surnamed Qin, who was sitting in the middle, and then said.

Vice President Qin was always a burly fat man, with a smile on his face full of flesh piled together, and he spoke with a little dialect.

"Mr. Chi, you have a lot of opportunities, we have just arrived, so we won't get in the way!"

Although this man seems to be very talkative.

But Chi Jiang, who has dealt with the other party, knows that this person surnamed Qin is a proper smiling tiger.

On the surface, he is kind, but when it comes to cooperation, he really refuses to let it go.

"Mr. Chi, I'll tell you the truth, we just came from the kiwi fruit!"

"President Congzhu is young and beautiful, and she speaks well, I wanted to invite her to come with me, but unfortunately she didn't agree, otherwise we would have had the opportunity to talk more together."

"You should have a lot of language in common!"

......

The smile on Chi Jiang's face did not change.

But in fact, I couldn't help but start scolding in my heart.

This was clearly said to him on purpose.

I want to tell him that Chi Jiang and Station G are not only interested in this drama of theirs, but also on the Kiwi side.

Needless to say, the purpose is to raise some more royalties.

"That's a pity, it's been a long time since I last met with Mr. Cong."

"I've always missed her."

Chi Jiang said some kind words.

He and Congzhu are old acquaintances, and every time they meet, they don't always quarrel and start fighting.

Vice President Qin had a lewd smile on his face at this time.

"I understand Mr. Chi's thoughts, I understand ......"

"I heard that Kiwi Fruit's Congzhu is also single, if the two of you can have a chance, then the two major websites of Station G and Kiwi are not kissing each other!"

"If I have the opportunity, I will be the middleman, and I will definitely satisfy Mr. Chi!"

Chi Jiang was a little speechless, and the other party's brain circuit.

He and Congzhu didn't say anything for the time being, there was no possibility.

Even if they are really together, they are just executives of the company, not shareholders or anything.

Not only is there no way to make Station G and Kiwi have any cooperation, but it may cause one of them to lose his job.

......

No, how did he really start thinking about it?

Isn't that possible?

Chi Jiang forcibly prevented the other party from distorting the topic of today's conversation.

"Mr. Qin, let's get straight to the point."

"The one we gave at Station G last time

100 million in royalties, now add 50 million, how about 150 million?"

The other party's investment in this drama is more than 200 million, which can be regarded as a big production.

The copyright fee of 150 million for exclusive online broadcasting, plus the copyright fee on the TV station's side, is enough for the other party to make a lot of money.

Such a price Chi Jiang felt quite sincere.

And he did talk about it with the idea of wanting to win the copyright of this show.

Unexpectedly, this fat man surnamed Qin still laughed and shook his head.

"Mr. Chi, don't joke with me!"

"I know that your G station has a lot of money, and this price is not like the price you offered."

Chi Jiang subconsciously frowned.

The price he gave was definitely high.

And he also watched this drama of "Peach Blossoms", which is actually a relatively ordinary ancient puppet, and the plot is not very amazing.

At best, the level of post-production is okay.

"Mr. Qin, you have been in the industry for so many years, you should know that my price is quite cost-effective."

Hearing Chi Jiang's words, Mr. Qin still shook his head.

"Mr. Chi, you still haven't shown the sincerity to cooperate."

"You must know that we cooperate with Station G, but we are taking risks, after all, the three major sides do not allow our companies to cooperate with Station G."

"We also have a lot of projects with the Big Three."

......

When Chi Jiang heard this, he really didn't know how to refute it.

Indeed, as the other party said, the current G station can negotiate cooperation, and there are indeed not many film and television companies that have bought the copyright.

However, it is not as exaggerated as the other party said, and the influence of the three major was indeed very large.

Most people don't dare to offend.

But now, there are many companies that are optimistic about Tongji Entertainment.

Choosing to cooperate with Station G also means standing in line.

"Then Mr. Qin, you can make conditions."

Chi Jiang finally compromised.

is also because the current G station really needs the other party's drama to add some vitality.

Otherwise, if it continues like this, there will be a large-scale decline in the paying users of Station G.

"That's right."

Mr. Qin opened his mouth and laughed.

"We also want the same conditions as Tongji Entertainment."

"Royalty plus share."

Chi Jiang was stunned for a moment after hearing the other party's words.

I thought I had heard it wrong.

It wasn't until he repeated it again that Chi Jiang was sure that he had heard correctly.

"Mr. Qin, you better be sincere, it's impossible."

Chi Jiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the other party.

What are you? It's also the same conditions as Tongji Entertainment.

What level do they have in Huahui, and they don't have any points in their hearts?

Of course, Chi Jiang also knows the reason for asking for a price to pay back.

Obviously, the other party does not really want to negotiate this condition, but it is just to continue to increase the copyright fee in the future.

[In view of the general environment,

......

Sure enough, the pot-bellied Mr. Qin also continued to speak at this time.

"Well, how about the 150 million royalties, and at the same time we want your various cuts?"

Chi Jiang shook his head directly.

"It's impossible to take a rake, so there's no need to talk about it."

The quality of the other party's drama is not necessarily whether it can help them earn back the copyright fee.

still wants to take a cut, Chi Jiang feels that this company is crazy for money.

"Two hundred and fifty million?"

- "One hundred and sixty million."

"Two hundred and thirty million?

」

—"One hundred and seventy million."

......

The two began their respective bargains.

In fact, Chi Jiang is not inclined to spend such a high copyright fee.

The other party's investment is only 200 million, and if you want to earn back the money just by relying on the network copyright fee on your side, how can it be so beautiful.

"Mr. Chi, I won't hide it from you, the kiwi fruit gave us 200 million royalties."

"But I still tend to cooperate with you G station, you just have the same price as kiwifruit!"

Chi Jiang secretly spat a mouthful of phlegm in his heart, he didn't believe what this guy said at all.

The price given by the kiwi fruit is definitely less than 200 million.

But on the other hand, 200 million is indeed the highest price he can afford in his heart.

The current G station does not lack a budget for copyright fees, but it lacks more reliable good dramas.

Although he didn't think that this drama could become popular, it was well publicized and could still attract enough audiences.

Just as Chi Jiang wanted to say yes, the assistant came over.

Hearing the assistant's whisper, Chi Jiang was stunned for a moment.

Then he looked at the other party: "I'm sorry, I'll miss it first."

......

After a few minutes, Chi Jiang returned, changing his tangled attitude just now.

said directly: "100 million copyright fees, if you agree, you can do it, if you don't agree, there is no need to continue to talk."

When Mr. Qin heard Chi Jiang's words, his expression was stunned.

"Mr. Chi, are you crazy?"

"It's impossible."

Chi Jiang nodded.

"In that case, I'm sorry Mr. Qin."

The man panicked.

"150 million, for the price you said before."

Chi Jiang still shook his head.

"Now that I've thought about it, 100 million is a bit high, and our G station will be up to 80 million."

Hearing this, the man stood up directly from his position.

"Mr. Chi, I don't think you have the sincerity to cooperate with us!"

......

Chi Jiang watched Hua Hui's three people leave, without the slightest idea of wanting to stop it.

"Mr. Chi, why did you suddenly ......?"

The vice president of the film and television department, who had been in the conference room, looked at Chi Jiang with some puzzlement at this time.

After all, he thought that Chi Jiang would agree.

As a result, he was suddenly called out by the assistant for a while, and after coming back, the whole person's attitude changed 180 degrees.

It's a bit incomprehensible.

What's more, the current station G really needs this "Peach Blossom".

Chi Jiang didn't have the slightest melancholy, but showed a smile.

"We don't need to talk about cooperation with Hua Hui anymore, this surnamed Qin has been sitting on the ground from the beginning, and it is all deliberate."

The vice president was still confused.

Until Chi Jiang continued to speak.

"Tongji Entertainment contacted me just now, saying that the production of the new drama has been completed, and it should be able to pass the review in a while."

"By the way, it's the second sequel to Ghost Blowing the Lantern."

Hearing Chi Jiang's words, the vice president suddenly realized.

If Chi Jiang said something like this, then there is really no need to talk about the copyright of this drama.

Therefore, Chi Jiang's quotation will be lower and lower, and he deliberately wants to drive people away.

......
