Chapter 171: The Trench is Overwhelming

In the reception room, after a few people exchanged a few words around the cultural cause, Director Xiao Guo finally brought the conversation back to the topic, and said with a smile on his face:

"Director Wang, they all said that there is nothing to do and go to the Three Treasures Palace."

"So this time the three of us came, in fact, there are some things we want to communicate with you, or I hope you can help."

Although Wang Ye doesn't know what the origin of this director Xiao Guo is, but through his self-introduction just now, he can also guess a seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, he said that he is in sports programs, and nine times out of ten it has something to do with motorcycle rallying, as for the remaining two, it is nothing more than "playing the autumn wind", and Wang Ye has long been ready to be "woolen", so he smiled at the moment:

"What you said is too polite, if you need help, you can just ask."

"I speak on behalf of our Red Star Consortium, as long as I can help, then I will definitely help!"

The reason why Wang Ye is so open-minded, on the one hand, he really sincerely feels that whether it is Journey to the West or the first Spring Festival Gala, if there are conditions, it should naturally be done better, after all, this is also an important cultural industry, which will affect generations in the next few decades, on the other hand, Wang Ye has seen their terrifying influence, and the influence itself is advertising, for a consortium that currently has a variety of products to be listed, this is the vital interest!

For example, pickup trucks, such as four-wheeled trucks, such as televisions, and even refrigerators and air conditioners that will be ready to go on the market next spring and summer, and even Red Star ADV motorcycles that have been listed, and need to further expand their influence and spread their sales channels to the whole country, all need to continue to invest in advertising.

In this case, the advertisement must be done, and these two will be sent to the door, isn't it just a pillow for sleepiness? Wang Ye didn't laugh, he was already holding back very hard!

"Then you said so, I'll be blunt!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Director Xiao Guo coughed lightly and said with a smile:

"Actually, I came here to negotiate with our consortium about the video broadcast of the motorcycle rally."

"Since the launch of our Red Star Rally, it has been widely loved and supported by the people, but the broadcast channel is currently limited to our Luqi Provincial TV Station, and the masses in other provinces cannot see it, which is a pity!"

"In addition, there have been a lot of pirated race tapes on the market recently, and the price is high, but many people are still flocking to them, so I Huaxia TV is considering reaching an agreement with us to rebroadcast our Red Star Rally past races and broadcast future races."

"Director Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Ye was not surprised by Director Xiao Guo's words, nodded and said:

"Of course, it's a good thing for us after all!"

"This show can go out of Luqi and go to the whole country, whether it is for our motorcycle publicity, or to increase the entertainment life of the masses, it is a good thing, how can I have reason to refuse?"

"In this way, I'll write you a note later, and you can go to Luqi Provincial TV Station to get the film."

In this era, there is no such thing as copyright fees, and besides, the rally is originally a "large-scale advertisement", even if Wang Ye pours a little money, Wang Ye is willing, after all, this is Huaxia TV, the most influential TV platform in the whole Huaxia, it is not difficult to imagine that with the broadcast of Huaxia TV on the rally, soon the Red Star motorcycle will be popular all over the country, as long as it is matched with the supply channel, the sales volume is naturally undoubted!

After Director Xiao Guo finished speaking, he looked at Director Yang and Director Huang next to him, compared to Director Xiao Guo, the expressions of these two were more entangled, after all, Director Xiao Guo came to ask for cooperation, and these two are not!

"I'll do it first!"

In the end, it was Director Yang Jie who opened her mouth, and she said with a slightly embarrassed smile:

"First of all, I am very grateful to Director Wang for his support to our work, providing us with rotorcraft and personnel to help us with aerial filming and trapeze aerobatic activities."

"So at the end of the film, we will definitely use the enlarged font to thank the Red Star Consortium for its special sponsorship."

"But Director Wang, you may not know that about the TV series Journey to the West, the station only put forward a shooting idea and request, and gave a small amount of funds, and the rest of the money was raised by our whole team."

"So look, can you give us some more support as well? Of course, I also know that this request is presumptuous, but we have no other way but to be cheeky and ask you for the autumn breeze. ”

Hearing this, Wang Ye nodded slightly, as if thinking for a while, and then said:

"So be it! You say the number, let's discuss it again? ”

Faced with Wang Ye's statement, Director Yang Jie hesitated, stretched out a finger and said:

"Look at this number, can we do it?"

"No, let's discuss it again! Your support for us is great enough, and we can't open our mouths and look at Shu. ”

After all, Director Yang Jie is a woman comrade, and Wang Ye's mother is too old when she is old, so she is naturally embarrassed to open her mouth in the face of Wang Ye, a young man, so she said so very implicitly, and what she actually thought in her heart was one million yuan, which was still the number that she dared to say after listening to Wang Ye's words in the scene just now, originally on the train yesterday, her goal was 500,000 yuan.

As for the crew's funds, Huaxia TV actually approved a total of 3 million, but after more than half a year of filming and preliminary preparations, more than 700,000 yuan has been spent, but less than three episodes have been filmed in total, which is really stretched!

I heard Director Yang Jie say this.

In fact, Wang Ye was already smiling in his heart, but his expression still had to be pretended to be entangled, because he knew that in normal history, the three million approved by Huaxia TV were only consumed after three years, but the series was still not finished, Director Yang Jie applied for funding again, but Huaxia TV had no money, because the rest of the money was given to the crew of Dream of Red Mansions, and Dream of Red Mansions started filming in the fall of 83.

Even, there was a villain from Huaxia TV station who reported that director Yang Jie took the team to travel all over the country and eat and drink at public expense, and finally Huaxia TV had to gather these opponents to form a joint investigation team to check the accounts, and went to the filming team to check the accounts. It's so hard! If nothing else, let's talk about the camera, the whole group is a backward Sony camera, and the picture is only 300p resolution!

In this era, people still don't talk nonsense with their eyes open, and the difficulty is truthfully reported to Huaxia TV, but Huaxia TV is also in a rut, no money is no money, and finally Director Yang Jie had to raise his own expenses, and finally raised three million from a certain department of Huaxia Railway Construction Group, and then completed the filming of a total of 25 episodes, which is also the result of shrinking and shrinking, cutting and cutting, just because there is no money!

At this moment.

Under the expectant and nervous gaze of Director Yang Jie and others, Wang Ye gasped as if he had a toothache and said:

"Huh, 10 million?"

At that moment, the three directors sitting not far away were directly stunned, and one finger was 10 million? In the next second, the two male directors looked at Director Yang Jie fiercely, could it be that Director Yang Jie was talking about 10 million.

But obviously, from her stunned expression, no!

"No"

Director Yang Jie was just about to say something, afraid that Wang Ye would feel that he was a lion with his mouth open, but he didn't expect Wang Ye to smack his lips and say:

"There's no problem, 10 million is 10 million."

"But I have a request, can you listen?"

At that moment, Director Yang Jie was worthy of being a professional, and directly swallowed half of the words, her face turned red because of this, and she nodded vigorously and said:

"Director Wang, what do you want, you say! You say! ”

"We will not shirk!"

In the face of such a huge amount of money, Director Yang Jie hurriedly said, and the two male directors next to him were already staring at them like copper bells, and they could see that they were frantically managing their expressions, but they obviously failed!

It's normal for them to react like this, after all, 10 million nowadays, that's an astronomical number!

"My requirements are three points in total, if you listen to it, let's do it, if it doesn't work, let's discuss it later."

Wang Ye said while the three people on the opposite side were inexplicably exerted with the "copying" magic, as if they had become one, nodding frantically at the same time, and Wang Ye said to himself:

"First, I can't give you this money all at once."

"I'll give you a million million, and the next time you get the money, you'll have to show me the bill."

"Second, I ask that in addition to the shooting of the feature film, you need to shoot some tidbits, the so-called tidbits are the stories behind the shots, including everyone eating, rushing, communicating about shooting problems, difficulties encountered, joy of shooting, etc., you should understand what I mean."

"In the tidbits, you have to have the products we sponsor featured, such as gyroplanes, motorcycles, pickup trucks, light trucks, six-wheeled SUVs, and even our heavy transport trucks!"

Accompanied by Wang Ye's voice, the three of them were stunned again, after all, the biggest cost of the current Journey to the West filming crew is running all over the country, and the cost of transportation and transportation costs is quite high, even if the key is high, it is not convenient!

And listening to Wang Ye's words, it seems that in addition to the rotorcraft of the trapeze, he also has to sponsor so many vehicles!

"Director Wang, you want to sponsor so many of our vehicles?"

In the next second, Director Yang Jie couldn't help but ask rhetorically, Wang Ye nodded and said with a smile:

"Yes, but this sponsorship is not another sponsorship, the shooting team only has the right to use, not ownership, after you finish shooting, these things have to be returned to us."

At that moment, Director Yang Jie's face was overjoyed, and she had a feeling that she had seen the true scriptures, and that there was no way out, and she couldn't help nodding quickly and said:

"Of course, of course!"

"Even if we take it back, it's not easy to repay it! Thank you so much to Director Wang! ”

Wang Ye waved his hand, and suddenly Director Yang Jie hurriedly stopped his mouth, and then Wang Ye continued to say to himself:

"The third condition is the length of the episode and the duration of the broadcast."

"I don't know what the length of the episode you estimate right now, or when you're going to show it, but if you accept this money from us, we'll have to ask for it, because it's an advertisement for us, and it's time-sensitive."

"So our requirements are like this, you'd better be able to play one episode every half a month, the longest month, so rolling forward, the total number of episodes should reach more than twenty-five episodes, of course, if you can write a script of fifty episodes, and under the premise of quality and quantity, with good feedback from the masses, our investment will be doubled, and I will give you 20 million!"

"Even any Red Mansion, Water Margin, Three Kingdoms, you can find me, I will invest in you, but the copyright of this film belongs to us, just like our Red Star Rally, Huaxia TV only has the right to broadcast."

"Or maybe you have other good ideas, such as mythological themes such as the Fengshen List, Journey to the East, and the Classic of Mountains and Seas; For example, historical themes such as Qin Emperor and Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors; or a variety of realistic themes to welcome the new era, such as the transformation of our Red Star Consortium and the opening of southern cities; Even future-oriented sci-fi themes, such as rocket launches, landing on the moon and Mars, and even time and space tunnels, time machines, such as I went to the future, a series of ridiculous things that happened can be made into popular TV series and movies! ”

"As long as the script is okay, I can pay for it!"

"Even if there are cartoons or the like in addition to dramas and movies, I like to watch them!"

"And you can report what I just said to Huaxia TV and call on other directors to participate in my project, which I would like to call post-'promoting Chinese traditional culture and creating a new culture in the new era of China'."

At that moment, the three people on the opposite side were completely stunned, they never expected that Wang Ye's goal was so ambitious, and even seemed to have an epiphany suddenly, why could Wang Ye be so young and be able to lead this former third-tier factory to earn foreign exchange!

The height and realm of people's thinking are not ordinary!

"Director Wang, I really didn't expect you to think so deep and far."

"And to be honest, you're in the brick-and-mortar manufacturing industry, and I'm curious how you're so interested in these shows? You can't say that you like it and want to see it, right? ”

In the end, Director Yang still asked everyone's most curious question, and even everyone in the consortium didn't expect Wang Ye to think so far away, under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye said with far-reaching eyes:

"I've heard a little rumor about the reason for the filming of Journey to the West."

"It is said that Japan filmed a version of Journey to the West in 78, and the plot is very problematic, full of slander against this famous book, and even humiliation of our country and traditional culture."

"Then the leaders decided, let's shoot Journey to the West ourselves, right?"

In this regard, the three directors nodded in approval, and Wang Ye sighed helplessly and continued:

"There is a good saying, the cultural highland, if we don't occupy it, it will be occupied by the enemy, and now with the opening up, more and more foreign film and television works from the outside world have poured into the country and are talked about by the masses."

"If we don't do anything, and in the end everyone only knows about foreign cultures, but not Chinese cultures, how sad would it be?"

"Let's talk about the reality, as far as our manufacturers are concerned, if everyone only thinks that foreign ones are good in the future, then how can they buy our own products? So for us, this is a social responsibility that we must assume! ”

As soon as Wang Ye's words fell, everyone was silent, and finally Director Huang gave a thumbs up and said:

"Director Wang Gao Yi! Let me admire! ”

Hearing him speak suddenly, Wang Ye changed the topic with a smile and asked:

"By the way, Director Huang, what kind of cooperation do you have with me?"

At that moment, Director Huang's expression became twisted, and he told him about the Spring Festival Gala in a hesitant manner, and Wang Ye waved his hand and said directly:

"I'll give a million!"

"But I also have a request!"
