Beijing's film and television industry is actually very loose.

A group of people from state-run film studios and a group of people from TV stations don't do much on weekdays.

But there are always some people who are good at dancing with long sleeves and can mix well in several circles.

For example, Ma Weidu.

Ma Weidu was originally an antique dealer who set up a stall in Panjiayuan.

Over the years, the prices of various cultural relics and antiques have continued to rise, so he has also made some money.

In addition, he has liked to read since he was a child, so his cultural accomplishment is very high, so he naturally became friends with Wang Shuo and other people in the cultural circle.

Wang Shuo is good friends with many people in the film and television industry.

For example, Liang Zuo, Jiang Wen, Ge You, Lu Xiaowei, Zheng Xiaolong, Zhao Baogang, Feng Xiaogang and so on.

It was also through Wang Shuo that Ma Weidu became good friends with these people again.

Ma Weidu's mind is very active, he looked, we already have so many friends, then I open the most fashionable song and dance hall at the moment, they all come to cheer, won't I be able to make a lot of money?

So he built a "Seahorse Cabaret" two years ago.

This kind of dance hall is a new thing in Beijing, and Ma Weidu has many friends, so it was soon overcrowded, and countless people came here to dance and play every day.

Fortunately, it has been two years, seven or eight years ago, and it is estimated that there are not enough people to be locked in.

You have to say that Ma Weidu is really a bit clever and brainy.

In order to increase the turnover on his side, he thought of a little idea.

For example, he doesn't have air conditioning here.

Ma Weidu asked the waiter to turn off the air conditioner for a while every hour, wait until the temperature rises, and then turn it on slowly.

Why is that?

It's not to save electricity, but to raise the temperature, so everyone can drink more alcohol.

The second is the food sold in the dance hall, snacks or something, all of which he asked the chef to soak in salt water, so that it is naturally very salty, and when he is thirsty, he will drink more wine, and this sales will not go up again?

Through these ghost ideas, there are a lot of people in the seahorse dance hall, and there are many drinks and food.

But Ma Wei doesn't make any money, and he loses tens of thousands of dollars every month.

And why?

Because most of them eat white food.

As soon as I entered the door, I said, I know Ma Weidu, I am a friend of Ma Weidu, give me a free order!

They are really welcome, they don't talk about eating and drinking, and they have to bring some back.

Over time, how much do you think you can earn?

And then there is Wang Shuo, Wang Shuo's three-class friends are a lot, when he is happy, he invites and says, go, go to the Seahorse Song and Dance Hall to play, eat and drink are mine!

As a result, Wang Shuo didn't give money, he said in his heart that I am good buddies with you, I will bring someone to support the party, this is to give you face, you shouldn't give money.

It's not enough to have him.

Recently, Feng Xiaogang also joined in, and he also greeted his friends like this.

So Ma Wei couldn't hold it anymore.

It's impossible for him to throw his face and say, don't brag that you're my friend, you should pay the bill or pay the bill—that would offend everyone.

Who are Ma Wei?

He's a businessman!

Do business!

It is absolutely impossible for a person who does business to treat people like this.

You must be generous and bold on the scene, so that you can make more friends, and if there are any good things in the future, people can think of you, and it is convenient to do anything.

But it's not a good idea to keep losing money.

Seeing that there are more and more people, there are often queues, and the inside is crowded, and all kinds of drinks are moved out one by one...... But most of them were eaten and drunk for nothing, and Ma Wei's heart was dripping blood.

This afternoon, he specially called Wang Shuo and Feng Xiaogang over to sit in the teahouse and drink tea together.

Ma Weidu didn't need to follow him

The two of us were polite and directly said the problem.

And told them, "In more than two years, I have lost 430,000 yuan! All the family resources have been lost...... Two masters, you help me think about what to do? What's next for me?"

Feng Xiaogang was a little embarrassed when he heard it.

He has just become famous, so it is inevitable that he will be a little nervous, and he will use Lao Ma's song and dance hall to entertain his friends, and he will only go home when he has had fun eating, drinking, and having fun.

As a result, he has not contributed any money, which has caused people to lose so much.

"Old Ma, I still have some money here, you take it first...... Take 100,000." Feng Xiaogang is not a stingy person, and he immediately has an attitude.

He has been filming with Xuluo for the past two years, and it should be said that the dividends and salary are not high, after all, he was an assistant director before.

However, the director's identity of "Sister Idler" brought him a high salary of about 200,000 yuan plus dividends.

Feng Xiaogang used tens of thousands of dollars to eat, drink and have fun before, and now there are hundreds of thousands left, and he directly took out more than half of it, ready to subsidize Ma Weidu.

Ma Weidu was excited when he heard it, thinking that your kid is really rich, just give 100,000 yuan?

However, Ma Weidu didn't say yes, he shook his head, "Gangzi, you can't do this!" If you fill in 100,000 yuan, everyone will eat and drink for nothing and not pay for nothing, and they won't last long...... I don't want money, I want a solution to the problem!"

Wang Shuo, who didn't speak just now, asked Feng Xiaogang thoughtfully, "Gangzi, is it so profitable to make TV series?" You've taken so much?"

Feng Xiaogang said with a smile, "Hey, how can you make more money by filming TV series? It's Luo Shao who makes TV series to make a lot of money like this! My "Sister Idler" is not the best seller...... Director Yang Jie made "The Legend of the New White Lady", with a salary of 1 million and a dividend of 1 million, and directly took 2 million! In the previous "Bao Qingtian", she took another 2 million!

」

"That's what Director Yang deserves."

Wang Shuo nodded.

Although he is not stingy, he is not scolded by everyone, Director Yang Jie is a person with deep qualifications, great merits, and ability, he respects him very much.

The next moment, he said, "Old Ma, since you can make so much money by filming TV series...... Why don't we just make a TV series to make money?"

Ma Wei was dumbfounded: "Filming a TV series? We? Where do I have so much money?"

Through Feng Xiaogang's talk about Xuluo's filming of TV series, he knows that filming a TV series can cost as little as a few million or as much as tens of millions, and he was crazy to throw so much money into it.

Do you think everyone is a genius?

Wang Shuo laughed, "It doesn't cost much! Isn't there an indoor sitcom? It only cost 1 million for 50 episodes of "Desire" before...... Wouldn't it be nice for us to use the Seahorse Cabaret to write a little story about the joys and sorrows that happened here?"

Ma Weidu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at Wang Shuo as if he had seen a savior.

"You write the script?" He asked.

Wang Shuo's writing skills are very powerful, and the stories are also good-looking, the previous "The Stubborn Master" by Ge You, Zhang Guoli, and Liang Tian, and now Jiang Wen's "Sunny Day", aren't they all adapted from his stories?

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

Filming doesn't start until May or June. Can't we finish filming until February or March?"

"Don't wait for February or March, we don't have as careful and patient as Xuluo." Wang Shuo shook his head, "I'm looking for Liu Zhenyun, Mo Yan and Liang Zuo, and you can also join Lao Ma...... Let's get together, publish the first five episodes of the book within three days, and finish the script in twenty days...... You got the character setting and the first few episodes and started looking for people, and then closed the Seahorse Cabaret and started filming directly! It's okay to shoot one episode a day, right?"

"If it's a good actor, it's fine." Feng Xiaogang's jaw.

"Where are we looking for good actors? How much do you get?" Ma Wei hurriedly asked.

Wang Shuo laughed again, "What's not money? There are so many actors and actresses, they come to us to eat, drink and have fun, and eat and drink for so long, shouldn't they repay you?"

"Is that okay?"

Ma Wei was still a little embarrassed.

Feng Xiaogang said: "I think it's very good, otherwise you eat mine and drink mine, and when you want to use you, you will push back and talk about money, is that like a word?" Then don't say any more buddy!"

Ma Wei laughed when he heard this.

This smacks of "kidnapping" a bit of the other way around.

When they came to the Seahorse Dance Hall to eat, drink and have fun, they all said that they were Ma Weidu's buddies, so now Ma Wei needs the help of his buddies, can they not go?

You can't do it.

But you're already done stinking in this circle, and no one looks at you head-on when you go out.

So maybe there aren't so many people who are righteous, but they all have to show this kind of righteousness for the sake of face and the characters they set up.

After laughing, Ma Weidu asked this question again: "How will I sell it then?"

"It's very simple, two options." Wang Shuo said, "The first one is to find Beijing TV, we are very familiar with it over there. The second is to go to Xuluo and ask him to help sell it to Shuchuan Satellite TV, so that the money will be a little more."

Ma Weidu definitely chose to have more money, so he looked at Feng Xiaogang again.

Feng Xiaogang didn't dare to guarantee it in his heart.

He doesn't have as much face as Ge You in front of Xuluo, where can he be sure that Xuluo agrees?

But the current atmosphere does not allow him to hesitate.

Otherwise, others will think, oh, it turns out that you are not so valued by Xuluo!

Therefore, Feng Xiaogang could only nod, "I'll go and ask, Luo Shao likes to help people very much."

In fact, he had already begun to ponder in his heart.

You must bring Yuko with you, and by the way, exaggerate the difficulties of the old horse, it is best to let Luo Shao review the script, he thinks it's okay, it's no problem.

Well, Wang Shuo has to be hidden from this matter.

Otherwise, if he heard that his book still had to be judged by Luo Shao, then maybe something would happen.
