The temperature in Zhongliao Province should be the warmest among the three eastern provinces, but it is still relatively cold compared to the south.

Li Shengyao has been wandering around Liao Province in the past few days, and he has visited Dalian, Panjin, Jinzhou, Dandong and other cities.

These cities have two things in common, one is that they all belong to Liao Province, and the other is that they are all near the sea.

The reason why he went to these cities was to see the scenery.

The script of "Dalian by the Sea" has been written, but this "Dalian" can be Jinzhou or Dandong.

He wanted to shoot the film in a beautiful, story-telling city.

It just so happened that he wanted to take a walk and see the beautiful Northeast, so he personally came out to choose the scene.

After Lee decided to prepare three films at the same time, many local cultural agencies contacted him, hoping that he would go to those places to make films.

Just like the movie "Dalian by the Sea", the cultural departments of Jinzhou, Panjin, Qingdao, Tangshan, Cangzhou, Lianyungang, Ningde, Xiamen and other cities have contacted him.

Except for the cities in Liao Province, other cities directly rejected Li Shengyao.

The movie "Manchester by the Sea" needs a place where it snows, the weather is cold, and the winter is cloudy.

Li Shengyao directly excluded cities outside Liao Province, and he felt that other places were not cold enough.

There is another reason, that is, after the millennium, movies related to the three eastern provinces have good luck winning awards.

"White Sun Flame", which won the best film at the Berlin Film Festival and the best actor, was filmed in the Northeast.

won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor, Best Actress "Long Time" reflects the story of a Northeast family.

This part of the Northeast used to be relatively wealthy in the mainland, but then it declined rapidly, and there were more obvious major changes, and it has a more sense of story.

Therefore, Li Shengyao has long set "Dalian by the Sea" in a seaside city in Liao Province.

The specific city needs him to go to the scenery in person.

Like "Three Billboards" and "La La Land", there are many places where the Agency for Cultural Affairs has contacted Lee Shengyao.

However, the story of "Three Billboards" is more sensitive, in which the heroine will set fire to the police station, and finally team up with the irascible detective to do something illegal.

This story can't be filmed in the mainland.

Li Shengyao considered placing it in a beautiful country and blackening a beacon for humanity.

However, considering the cost of filming in the beautiful country, he still gave up.

He intended to place the film in Tyrande.

And "La La Land" competition cities are even more, Shanghai, Xiamen, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Chengdu and other big cities have contacted Li Shengyao.

He needs to think carefully before deciding on a specific shooting location.

On this night, the temperature in Dalian was only about ten degrees, and the cold wind was blowing.

Under the dim street lamps, the branches of the trees are bare, and the pedestrians on the street are wearing hats, bowing their heads, and walking in a hurry.

"Dididi!"

Cars pass by, honking their horns from time to time.

The city does have a lot of feel, it's beautiful, and it's historic.

Li Shengyao went around several seaside cities in Liao Province, and finally chose Dalian.

In the box of the China World Summit Wing, several leaders of the Department of Cultural Affairs sat in half of the seats, and Li Shengyao and several assistant directors sat in half of the seats.

On his left side, there sat a strong man in his forties, with a round face, a height of one meter nine, and a hundred and ninety pounds.

This strong man is a small leader of the Dalian Cultural Department, named Wang Qian.

"Director Li, I did it, you are free."

Everyone knows that Li Shengyao doesn't drink, but the leaders are still very bold and don't blink their eyes when they drink Moutai.

Li Shengyao smiled and nodded.

He also likes the taste of Northeast cuisine, and he feels very strong.

Although he doesn't drink, he is quite satisfied with the food.

Wang Qian put down his wine glass, and his face flushed a lot.

He glanced at the door, saw the waiter go out, and glanced at the assistant directors again, and saw that they were eating very well, so he whispered: "Director Li, I don't know what people in other cities tell you, but please believe that Dalian is definitely the most suitable city for you to make movies."

The other cities are small and broken, with loud voices and rude speech, and the main thing is that those people don't know how to do business, and one by one, they know how to eat and drink.

Have you heard of that sentence, if you can't invest in Shanhaiguan, you will give their gang a bad reputation.

We Dalian is different, you see, the atmosphere on our side is similar to that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and we have the credibility to do practical things. ”

Li Shengyao smiled and nodded, "I've heard of it." ”

When Wang Qian heard this, he became more energetic, and then poured himself a glass of wine, and then poured a cup of tea for Li Shengyao.

There was smugness in his eyes.

"Dalian is really beautiful, it's not me bragging, I've lived here for more than 40 years, I've been here since I was a child, I know this place, it's really good, you make movies here, you will definitely not regret it."

He then raised his glass, took a sip of wine, and then said: "Our leaders welcome you very much, and have already submitted your new project, if your new film is produced in Dalian."

First of all, we will have tax incentives, which is absolutely reliable, you put the production company in Dalian, and the tax rate will be reduced by 10%.

The second is the financial subsidy, during the production of the film, we will subsidize the heating fee, room and board expenses for the crew.

Then there is the question of the venue, you can rest assured that there will be no excuses, you have your eye on the place, when you need it, when you have to arrange the police to maintain order, we will do it immediately.

In addition, regarding various filming applications, we will simplify the process as much as possible, and will never delay you in making a movie. ”

Li Shengyao heard these words from other leaders when he was in several other cities.

There is nothing new, and it is similar to attracting investment.

However, people invited guests to dinner and took the initiative to provide preferential conditions.

Li Shengyao was not going to tear down the stage, he listened and nodded at the same time, looking serious.

Seeing this, Wang Qian was even more happy, Li Shengyao had already gone to several other cities, and heard that other cities had also promised a lot of benefits.

As for whether Li Shengyao will finally choose Dalian.

He wasn't sure.

However, Lee Shengyao has a special status, and it is said that the new film is also aimed at international film festivals.

As a native of Dalian, he still hopes that Director Li will put the new movie in Dalian.

In the past, Li Shengyao produced "Winter Love Song" in Harbin, which brought a rich source of tourists to Harbin.

He hoped that Dalian would get some benefits and promote local economic development.

He thought for a while, and then said: "Another point is that we will fully cooperate with your filming work, the biggest difference between Dalian and other sister cities is that our environment is better, we are more pragmatic, and we do not engage in formalism and bureaucracy."

Director Li, you can put 10,000 hearts, and we will definitely not delay you in filming a movie.

When you come to Dalian, you travel lightly without any additional burden. ”

When Li Shengyao heard this, he smiled, "Okay, I know." ”

"Then will you consider us in Dalian?"

Wang Qian was a little nervous, he thought about it and still asked.

Li Shengyao picked up the glass, touched it with Wang Qian, and then said: "Director Wang is a refreshing person, I don't hide it, the city I originally set was Dalian, and then I went around in Liao Province and found that Dalian was better."

Even if you don't tell me this today, I still choose Dalian. ”

"That's really good, Director Li, you have a vision, and you have a fate with us in Dalian, so I said that I would definitely choose us."

When Wang Qian heard this, he was excited, and then beckoned the others to stand up, and then toasted Li Shengyao together.

After everyone drank a glass of refreshment, Wang Qian then asked, "Director Li, when do you plan to come to Dalian for official shooting?"

"I'll be here next month."

"It's colder next month and it could snow."

Li Shengyao smiled, "The plot is a cold winter, I rejected those southern cities, just to see that this side is beautiful, but it is still cold." ”

Wang Qian immediately gave a thumbs up, "I thought I would have to wait until next spring to shoot, when it was warm, I didn't expect you to match the weather in the story, amazing, no wonder you are so successful, Director Li, you are much stricter than other directors." ”

He then couldn't help but toast again.

At this time, he felt lucky, and a little proud.

Li Shengyao did not come to Dalian because of those conditions, but he was really optimistic about Dalian.

……

After finishing the scenery of "Dalian by the Sea", Li Shengyao returned to Yanjing, where he planned to stay for a few days to accompany his family, and then go south to show the scenery of "La La Land".

At the same time, he will also arrange for the film crew to go to Dalian, and now he will start to prepare.

On the afternoon of his first day back in Yanjing, he received a meeting hosted by radio and television.

The meeting invited the heads of several major video websites in China to explain some new norms and systems, as well as spiritual requirements.

Fenghua Video, Youku Video, LeTV, Tencent, Tudou and other video sites have all passed.

After the meeting, a group of bigwigs rarely got together, so they went directly to a private restaurant nearby.

Jia Yueyao shouted: "I'm here tonight to have a treat, don't fight with me, I'll come, I'll take everyone to eat mutton, the mutton in that place is very authentic, I guarantee that you won't regret it." ”

Jia Yueyao is the boss of LeTV.

Among the bosses in this circle, Li Shengyao is the youngest, and Lao Jia is the second youngest, he is only thirty-nine years old.

The height is average, about 1.72 meters, dark skin, should be regular fitness, not only has a loud voice, a loud voice, his eyes are bright, it can be seen that this is a person with strong leadership ability.

Li Shengyao has seen Shuangma, and he feels that if it is better than the first impression, Shuangma is not as good as Jia Yueyao.

This one is more capable and more leader-like.

Not long after, the big guys came to the private dish introduced by Jia Yueyao, and then sat down to eat mutton.

Just like Lao Jia said, the mutton in this place is very authentic and delicious.

In order to remove the fishiness, a lot of chili peppers were put in the mutton.

The other bigwigs don't eat spicy food, they eat sweaty and drink water stained.

Li Shengyao felt that it was very appetizing, which was exactly what he was used to.

Everyone else is eating, drinking, and talking.

Li Shengyao eats seven points and chats three points.

After eating for half an hour, Li Shengyao's stomach was bulging, and he put down his chopsticks with satisfaction.

It's rare to eat so cool, he plans to bring Chen Hao and Dong Xuan to taste it next time.

The other bigwigs have eaten almost enough.

Some people then drank tea and bragged, while others got up and sat down on the sofa next to them.

Li Shengyao was about to eat a few pieces of fruit, and Lao Jia followed.

"Director Li, you're really busy, I've looked for you several times, I want to ask you out to talk, you're not in Yanjing, it's not that I said you, you're really too hard, Kanjing has to go over by yourself, you can't do this, you are a genius, and you are so serious, you will get the award for you in the future, what are the others doing?"

is worthy of Lao Jia, and his words are good.

Li Shengyao once served as a member of LeTV in his previous life, in order to watch the Super League game.

However, LeTV's Super League commentary is not very good, and it is very boring.

Now Li Shengyao plans to forgive Lao Jia and don't care about the Super League.

"Mr. Jia, what are you looking for me?"

"It's a good thing, I want to cooperate with you, I want to promote the relationship between the two of us."

Lao Jia is not kind, Li Shengyao smiled and did not answer.

Jia Yueyao continued: "Director Li, we want to advertise in your three new movies, how about it, it's a round deal, 40 million advertising fees." ”

40 million three movies, on average, is 13 million, this advertising cost is considered to be at the upper middle level.

Li Shengyao smiled, "Mr. Jia is willing to invest, there must be no problem on our side, I will explain it when I go back, and wait for LeTV's special person to contact me." ”

Jia Yueyao nodded, and then said, "Director Li, but we have some other ideas for this cost. ”

"Other thoughts? You said. ”

"That's right,We're not just a video site,We are developing in many ways,Now we have LETV mobile phones,TVs,Air conditioners,Cars。

Among them, mobile phones and cars are worth focusing on,Mobile phones,We are a new Android system,All are flat smart phones,And invited world-class aesthetic masters to design models,It is also connected to LETV,In this way,The audience watches videos more quickly,Simple。

In the case of automobiles, it is also a new concept, and we plan to build fully autonomous, driverless electric vehicles, which is the most advanced technology in society today.

Director Li, I don't know if you're interested? ”

Li Shengyao glanced at Jia Yueyao, if he remembered correctly, those stars in his previous life, such as Deng Chao and Sun Li, were fooled by Jia Yueyao, invested in shares, and it is said that he lost 50 million.

He didn't expect Lao Jia to want to fool him.

Does he look stupid?

"Mr. Jia, I don't know anything about mobile phones or cars, and the main development direction is entertainment, so there is no way to cooperate in this regard."

"It's okay,I'm just telling you about the direction of our LETV,What I want to say is that LETV is now doing video,Media,But it's not a competitive relationship for us to follow Fenghua,We can be all-round partners。

Li Shengyao was a little speechless, he picked up an orange and nodded while peeling it.

"Director Li, our two families are so close, about the 40 million advertising fee, whether we can pay in installments, it's not that we LeTV don't have money, the main thing is that there are many projects now, and advertising your three movies is completely on a whim.

But don't worry, I won't let my good friends suffer, and we'll do our best to promote your three new movies.

In addition, if you are interested, I can also take you to buy LeTV's shares, our LeTV's online valuation increased by two billion last month, buy our shares, and you will definitely not lose money. ”

Lao Jia founded LETV in 04, and then LETV went public in 2010, this guy should be worth tens of billions now.

At this time, Lao Jia stopped and managed LeTV well, it shouldn't be so miserable.

But I probably tasted the sweetness of the white wolf with empty gloves, and I couldn't stop.

Li Shengyao smiled and listened to Lao Jia's flickering, his mind had already flown home, he had just eaten a lot of mutton, and there was a fire in his stomach at this time, look for Chen Hao, Chen Hao is in good health.

As for Lao Jia...... If you don't give money, you don't want to advertise.

It is not an installment yet, it must be paid in full.
