Chapter 36: Setting off! Helping Li Qin shoot magazine photos! [New book, seeking flowers]
The script for "A Bite of China" is not a detailed screenplay like those for film and television.
It only has a rough framework, such as when to go where to shoot, what to shoot, and so on.
The word count is not high, totaling only a few pages.
Very quickly, Qin Mu finished reading the whole thing and gained a general understanding of their theme for this season.
Travel and food!
Just like the cooking masters and exquisite culinary skills of the first season, and the life and food of the second season.
As the name suggests, it means tasting local delicacies while traveling.
But the difficulty is greater than the first two seasons.
Because not only must the complex preparation and delicious taste of the food be captured, but the beautiful scenery along the way must also be filmed to showcase the country's magnificent mountains and rivers.
And this is the fundamental reason why Director Chen sought out Qin Mu.
As far as he currently knows, Qin Mu is absolutely top-tier in landscape photography!
"Not bad."
Qin Mu gave his answer and then said, "How many episodes is Director Chen planning to shoot? Also, I have already signed a long-term contract with the 'Running Man' production team, and I have to go for filming every week."
"I don't know if there will be a conflict in terms of time."
"No conflict at all!"
Director Chen said directly, "Tentatively five episodes! Although each episode will be in a different place, the content for one episode isn't very much. If it's fast, it takes one or two days; if it's slow, it takes two or three days."
"It won't delay your work at all, Brother Qin."
Before contacting Qin Mu, he had already spoken with Director Yao.
He already had a rough plan regarding the schedule.
"That's good, then I have no problem."
Qin Mu nodded.
"Since that's the case, let's talk about the cooperation!"
Director Chen was immediately delighted and said hurriedly.
Cooperation, naturally, means talking about money.
Sumptuous dishes filled the dining table.
Everyone was eating and drinking, and it was very lively.
"Brother Qin, one million in total, what do you think?"
Just now, Director Chen had introduced him to the entire program's funding, costs, and various expenses, and finally gave a suitable price.
Actually, none of this needed to be said.
But Director Chen valued Qin Mu highly and explained everything thoroughly so that he wouldn't feel mistreated.
"Suitable."
Qin Mu wasn't coy and agreed directly.
One million is not a small amount!
There are only five episodes in total, and if each episode takes two days, it adds up to less than half a month.
One million for half a month is quite staggering.
"Brother Qin, then I hope we have a pleasant cooperation!"
Director Chen reached out his hand happily; it was clear he was in a very good mood.
"Pleasant cooperation."
Qin Mu also reached out and shook it.
The second cooperation was officially reached!
Three collaborations in two days, and all of them were big deals, adding up to over a million—enough to keep him busy for three or four years previously!
Next, everyone happily ate and chatted.
Wang Rui, who hadn't spoken much on the side, also asked many questions about filming opinions.
Qin Mu responded to them one by one.
The three of them nodded frequently, extremely satisfied.
Brother Qin!
Truly amazing!
By two or three in the afternoon.
Everyone reluctantly ended the meal, and before parting, they confirmed the filming time for the first episode.
Four days later, the location is Chuanxi.
After it ended, it was still Xiao Zhao who drove Qin Mu home.
Back home, Qin Mu didn't stay idle.
He opened his computer and continued to study the style of "A Bite of China."
Since the cooperation had been finalized, he naturally had to go all out to face it.
Moreover, this was a huge opportunity.
Behind "A Bite of China" is the Central Television Station; if this cooperation is very successful, he will naturally gain the attention and favor of the Central Television Station.
Wouldn't all kinds of resources roll in later?
Besides, with such a heavy stroke in his portfolio, wouldn't his market value skyrocket?
Anyway, regardless, just going all out is enough.
Unknowingly, it was late at night.
"Ding ding!"
Qinqin wants to get up early: "Brother Qin, are you done with your work? You didn't reply to me all day."
Qin Mu then remembered the WeChat matter and replied apologetically: "Sorry, I finished my work in the afternoon, but I forgot after I got back and have been watching videos until now."
Qinqin wants to get up early: "Okay, I thought you had disappeared / naughty, I'm going to sleep, good night / moon."
Qin Mu: "Good night."
Turning off his phone, he stood up and stretched, only then realizing that it was already dark outside.
"I was truly engrossed."
Qin Mu shook his head with a wry smile.
However, the results were still good; he had studied the content of the first two seasons twice, and finally figured out the style and characteristics of the previous photographer.
He also had a general idea for his upcoming filming.
"Sleep."
After a simple wash, Qin Mu went back to his room to sleep.
June 13th, Monday, sunny.
Qin Mu finished his morning run early.
After tidying up in his room, he checked his photography equipment, ready to go.
Today is time to work.
Helping Li Qin shoot magazine photos!
"Ding ding!"
Qinqin wants to get up early: "Brother Qin, get up quickly, don't sleep in!"
Qin Mu replied: "I've already left."
Qinqin wants to get up early: "So fast??? / surprised, okay, I'm getting up too."
Qin Mu: "See you later."
Qinqin wants to get up early: "Okay / happy."
