Chapter 318: Twists and Turns of Advertising
From the mouths of the two attendants, Wang Manyin learned more information about Director Liu's identity.
Director Liu belongs to celebrities in the cultural circles, is an old friend with a certain bigwig, and is now a director of the Provincial Film Association. In addition, the other party is also a member of the Provincial Writers Association, and has published two poetry collections, which are said to have caused strong repercussions abroad.
This time, Director Liu served as the director of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and was recommended by many people.
In short, the influence is great.
"Xiao Li, low-key, low-key. Don't tell people about the past achievements, let's look at the present, focus all our energy on filming the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and strive to put a big satellite in our cultural circle! In the end, Director Liu waved his hand, facing forty-five degrees, which looked very imposing.
Wang Manyin finally knew where Hu Yonghe learned from the appearance of beating chicken blood before.
"Director Liu, it is our honor to be able to participate in such a big TV series. After eating, I will hand over 100,000 yuan to you. ”
"That's right, I want to make a name for myself, make a name for myself, glorify my ancestors, and let the whole country know Duan Yuzhu's name. 100,000 yuan, I also voted! The other sneered.
"Not only to be famous, but also to get a good return on this investment, invest 100,000 yuan, and earn 200,000 yuan in a few months!" Director Liu emphasized, "As long as the filming is completed, the TV station will immediately buy it at twice the price." ”
After the three finished speaking, they turned their heads to look at Wang Manyin and Hu Yonghe.
That's it? That's it?
Wang Manyin listened to the three of them singing and harmonizing, and was a little speechless. originally thought that there was some way, but it turned out to be a big pie in the clouds.
The key is such a sloppy language, Hu Yonghe actually believed it.
But he could understand it.
Again: there are too many fools, not enough liars.
In later generations, the Internet was so developed that all kinds of information could be searched with your hands, but there were still many people who were deceived by some superficial and low-level deceptions.
"I don't have that much money, so I'll pay 50,000 yuan first," Hu Yonghe hesitated and said the same.
Wang Manyin ignored everyone's gaze and took care of the dishes by himself.
Not to mention, this restaurant's cold pork ears taste good, chewing in the mouth clicks.
"Manyin, how much do you pay?" Hu Yonghe was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but ask.
Wang Manyin didn't answer the question, just turned his head to look at Luo Hu: "Director Liu, is the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" ready?" As long as the money is in place, you can start filming right away? ”
"Yes, so we need a lot of support from you farmers and entrepreneurs. Rest assured, it will definitely make money exponentially. ”
"Now that the preparations are over, could you please take out the script and show it to me?" Wang Manyin said, stretching out his hand.
"Script, what is a script...... Aren't we talking about filming a TV series? Hu Yonghe looked dazed.
Director Liu and the two attendants' faces changed slightly.
The other party hesitated for a few seconds, and then spoke: "I came in a hurry today, and I didn't bring a script at all." ”
"There's always a proposal, right?"
"I didn't bring ...... either"
"Then what is your approximate budget for filming the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? How many episodes are filmed? ”
"Budget...... The budget is five million, for a total of fifty episodes. Director Liu's voice was a little weak.
Wang Manyin couldn't listen to it at all, and immediately got up and said, "Brother Hu, you eat slowly, I still have something to do, go first!" ”
After speaking, he got up and left.
He was 100% sure that the gang was a liar and quite unprofessional.
In later generations, Boss Jia built a car, and he had to make a PPT to let the audience suffocate for their dreams. This Director Liu is good, it's all based on one mouth.
In addition, millions of people want to shoot "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", just kidding. Now there are no computer special effects, and those big war scenes need to be filmed in real time, and they can't be covered by hundreds of thousands of them at all.
If the other party says that it will invest tens of millions, it may still have some credibility.
"Man Yin, don't go," Hu Yonghe panicked and hurriedly caught up. He was still a little confused, and he had to leave after asking a few questions.
Walking out of the hotel, Wang Manyin turned his head and said: "Brother Hu, I think that Director Liu's speech is a bit fake, as a director, I don't know anything about filming TV series." This gang is likely to be liars, shall we? ”
"It doesn't look like it...... Forget it, I've already invited people here, I can't pat my ass and leave, and ask again. ”
Hu Yonghe hesitated for a moment and spoke again.
He still believes in Wang Manyin's personality, but he is afraid that the other party will make a mistake in judgment and let him miss a good opportunity in vain.
Speaking of which, Hu Yonghe's mentality is a little contradictory after he became developed.
He felt that the status of peasant entrepreneurs was low, and he always felt inferior when he saw the county staff. Now that he has money, he is even more reluctant to be lonely and unknown, and a strong desire to get ahead rises in his heart.
It is precisely with this idea that Hu Yonghe wants to use money to buy a false name or make a lot of money.
"Well, then you should be careful yourself, and remember not to rush into the money yet...... I asked my brother-in-law to help inquire about whether Director Liu was from the TV station. Wang Manyin could only admonish again.
It's hard to persuade the dead ghost with good words, but anyway, his words have already been spoken.
Even if the other party is deceived, you can't blame him.
Hu Yonghe's eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew that Wang Manyin's brother-in-law married a woman from Tian Fujun's family. With the relationship between people in the provincial capital, it is easy to inquire about someone.
After making up his mind, Hu Yonghe returned to the private room.
Seeing him return, Director Liu immediately frowned and said, "Boss Hu, what's the matter with your friend, it's too faceless?" What do you think of us! ”
"Director Liu, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. It's really my brother's fault, I already quarreled with him just now...... Don't mention it, let's keep drinking. ”
"Don't drink the wine, Boss Hu, I have to go to the stage for a meeting in the afternoon, let's finish the sponsorship first." Director Liu put down the wine glass and said.
"That's right, Boss Hu, when the TV series earns money, it's not too late for us to drink celebratory wine." Duan Yuzhu followed.
Wang Manyin's actions just now had already made the three of them feel uneasy. So they want to get their hands on the money early and get away with it.
"Director Liu, rest assured, I will definitely invest money in this TV series...... But not today, I have to take the driver to pull the goods in the afternoon. Tomorrow morning, I will go to you with the money. Hu Yonghe hurriedly excused himself.
"Boss Hu, it won't take long to withdraw money from the bank." Duan Yuzhu came again.
"There's no way, the customer is in a hurry. Tomorrow, I'll bring it tomorrow ......."
***
Wang Manyin went to Shaoping's house again in the evening, and soon got accurate news from Tian Xiaoxia.
"Brother-in-law, I specifically asked someone to inquire, and the provincial TV station does not have a director named Liu Ping, and there is no plan to shoot "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". There is only one TV series to be filmed this year, and the name is "Five Garden Street". ”
"I see," Wang Manyin nodded.
Such a result proves that his judgment at noon is correct.
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to shoot cartoons. Our provincial TV station lacks talents to shoot cartoons, and it has not been produced for many years. The better one to do now is still the American film studio. ”
"The process of making an animation is very complicated, you need to draw the background and characters on the paper first, and then transfer the characters to the celluloid film, one action at a time...... After the painting is done, the film is shot. A few years ago, Shangmei produced an animated film called "Strange Tales from the Book of Heaven", which was originally invested by foreigners. Later, the other party withdrew without creditworthiness, and Shangmei completed it alone. It took 90 minutes in total, took three years, and mobilized nearly 200 people...... Twenty-four frames per second, seven dollars per frame. Calculated that the entire cartoon cost nearly one million, not counting the salary of 200 painters for three years......"
Since Tian Xiaoxia promised to help, she must inquire about the relevant matters clearly.
Wang Manyin completely dispelled his thoughts.
The ninety-minute cartoon cost nearly a million, and it is not something that I can afford to pay for now.
There is no way, there is no computer now, and the production of cartoons is all based on a pen in the hands of the painters, and the cost is naturally very outrageous.
It seems that I can only suppress my thoughts for the time being, and wait until the time is ripe. The six squirrels need to be replaced with something else.
But just giving up like this, Wang Manyin was very unwilling in his heart.
When he saw Hu Yonghe again the next day, he told the other party the answer directly.
"Brother Hu, I have asked Shaoping and his aunt to inquire, the provincial TV station has no plans to shoot "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the near future, and there is no director named Liu Ping."
"Grandma is a bear, I've really deceived Lao Tzu!" Hu Yonghe was furious.
In fact, after he returned to the hostel yesterday, he calmed down and thought about it alone, and felt more and more that Wang Manyin was right. Liu Ping and the three of them did have a lot of suspicions, but they didn't notice it before.
"I know where they live, let's take the driver and go straight to block people!"
At the end of the words, Hu Yonghe gritted his teeth.
If it weren't for coming to the provincial capital this time to bring Wang Manyin, it is estimated that the tens of thousands of yuan he worked so hard to earn would have been wasted.
Although he did not know Liu Ping's specific residence, he knew where the two "peasant entrepreneurs" were.
"What can you do with the driver, or call the police to deal with it." Wang Manyin vaguely felt that this kind of person would not deceive only once.
"Call the police, do people care about this?" Hu Yonghe asked worriedly.
"This is a fraud, and now it is being strictly controlled, and it will definitely be managed."
"Then let's go ...... now"
Wait for them to come to the police station and tell them what happened.
Immediately, three police officers followed him to the hotel to arrest him.
Hu Yonghe began to be disappointed, and after asking the front desk, he learned that the two so-called "peasant entrepreneurs" had checked out and left yesterday.
Although the name is left in the register, it is not known whether it is true or not.
The two of them came to Qin'an City with great interest, but they had no choice but to return by car.
On the way back, Wang Manyin came up with another idea: shooting cartoons is not possible for the time being, or a comic book about six squirrels?
Publishing a book should be fine.
I have written it in my small book, as if Master Zheng's "Fairy Tale King" should have been born in these two years. However, the comic book pays attention to the interesting story, and there are many drawings that need to be drawn, so I don't know if the orchid is competent.
Along the way, Wang Manyin was thinking about this matter.
It wasn't until he got off the bus at the intersection of Shibijie Street that an idea suddenly crossed his mind.
You don't have to make a comic book, you can draw a book like "Mi Daquan Brain Teaser", and call it "Six Squirrels Brain Teaser".
The brain teasers of this era have not yet come out, and if a book like this is printed, it will definitely be a fire.
Brain teaser is a popular word game, divided into puzzles, funny, mathematics, etc., and is said to have originated in ancient times.
Wang Manyin doesn't know when it was circulated in China, anyway, he hasn't read similar books on the market at present. If you don't do it, you may become the pioneer of brain teasers in China.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he felt. When I go to bed at night, I can't wait to tell my mother-in-law what I think.
"What's a brain teaser?" Orchid asked in surprise. When my husband came back in the afternoon, he had already said that there was no drama in filming a TV series, so why did he have a "brain teaser" now.
"It's the kind of game we played with the children before, do you remember when Wang Tao was in the Yuhong class before, there was a time when we asked the question, '8+5, why don't you wait for 13?' ……”
Hearing her husband's words, Orchid sneered.
Of course she remembered.
When Wang Tao first went to school, his math scores were very similar to his brother Wang Lei, and they were all a mess.
Some simple arithmetic problems, he often miscalculated.
Especially for "8+5=? "I miscalculated this math problem several times in a row.
In desperation, Wang Manyin made up a slip of the tongue called "Yuhong class is not simple, eight plus five and thirteen", so that his son could remember.
Because of this, Wang Lei laughed at his younger brother for being too stupid.
Orchid reprimanded her eldest son: "Are you smart? I don't know how many eight plus five are in the red class. ”
"But I know now." Wang Lei has a heartbeat.
At that time, Wang Manyin came to say: "I will test you, under what circumstances does eight plus five not equal thirteen?" ”
This question confused several members of the family.
Orchid deliberately counted a few times with her fingers, and it was thirteen no matter how she counted.
It's still my own daughter's queen who is fortunately smarter, and when she saw her brother's homework book, she suddenly replied: "Miscalculation is definitely not equal to thirteen." ”
Later, the family thought this kind of game was quite interesting, and tried to think of other funny ones.
For example, what Wang Manyin said.
"Who ran the fastest in history?"
"There is a word that everyone will mispronounce when they see it. What is this word......"
But it's just a game they play at home, and they can also dedicate a comic book? Orchids feel a little too child's play.
"You just say this kind of game is not interesting, is it fun?" Hearing her aunt's question, Wang Manyin asked rhetorically.
"It's interesting, although the questions are very ordinary, the answers are often unexpected. Once cracked, it can make people laugh non-stop......"
Orchid replied, and thought that if there was such a book, it should be welcomed by the children.
"Then let's do it, think of a hundred brain teasers in the near future, and then form a book with the comics of six squirrels."
"Wait a while, I'll write down what we thought of before, don't ......forget it after a while," Orchid said, picking up a pen and paper from the bedside, and sitting on the clay kang to remember.
Wang Manyin was a little speechless, seeing that his mother-in-law was dressed so thinly, he couldn't help but urge: "Go to bed early, I'm writing tomorrow." ”
"Don't move, you sleep first......"
"I can sleep."
As a foreshadowing, this book will probably end at the end of the month!
