Chapter 216: What? Let me play Yin Zhiping?

Boss Lu handed the script of the first five episodes directly to Kang Honglei with peace of mind, and went to the rehearsal site with the bearded man.

A *Soldiers Sortie*, followed by a *My Chief and My Regiment*.

However, the original work of the latter didn't seem to be out yet. It was just right to bind with Lan Xiaolong through this cooperation.

There was still a *Drawing Sword* in his hand that hadn't been taken out. Wouldn't this Da Lei Zi be fished into a crooked mouth?

"Director Lu, we haven't been drinking together for a long time! Tonight..."

The bearded man heard the phone call between Boss Lu and Old Zhang just now, and his sense of crisis soared!

Not to mention anything else, just the Travel Channel in his hand could give him how much convenience!

"Tonight? Tonight I have an appointment to have dinner with Han Shanping and Old Dong."

Zhang Jizhong's face was awkward, not knowing whether he should recommend himself.

Immediately after, he heard an invitation that made him ecstatic: "Old Zhang, if you have nothing to do, come together? It's lively with more people."

"Good! Good, I'll bring wine, I'll bring wine."

The bearded man was a figure who could pick up and put down. At this moment, his heart turned rapidly, thinking about how to break into Boss Lu's core circle again...

He suddenly thought of someone.

Liu Yifei.

That's right! Why was Yang Siwei so tough to talk to him about the salary of 200,000 per episode, and even pulled this person out to pull the tiger skin in her words.

If you say there is no relationship, who believes it?

"The reason why seasonal dramas are filmed while broadcast is to take care of the audience's ideas and collect feedback. This forum is very popular now and must be utilized."

But how should he use this young girl well...

Old Zhang suddenly had a flash of intuition: "Director Lu, you played Yin Zhiping in *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*. How about this Yin Zhiping in *The Return of the Condor Heroes*..."

"Oh no, Master Jin Yong has already changed it to Zhen Zhiping. This Zhen Zhiping?"

Boss Lu looked at him suspiciously. Are you okay?

I am a big director of a 75 million USD co-production movie. Why would I spend that effort to guest star as a lecherous supporting role for you?

You bearded man want me to confirm the reputation of this Dragon Knight, right?

Zhang Jizhong saw his eyes and knew that his flattery had hit the horse's leg, so he hurried to explain.

"Director Lu, you see Yifei is going to play Little Dragon Maiden in it, and that scene between Zhen Zhiping and Little Dragon Maiden is not easy to delete, so we have a headache too!"

"You are more familiar with their mother and daughter. At that time, no matter how it is filmed, it will be more convenient than others coming. What do you think?"

Hmm? This is indeed a problem.

Boss Lu had to admit that he was persuaded.

Bearded man, you successfully aroused a man's possessiveness!

I haven't gotten this little girl yet. How can others be allowed to snore beside the couch?

Boss Lu pretended to be embarrassed: "Hmm... to be honest, this time of mine is really not catching up, but we are all old friends."

"Hey! Forget it, I'll accompany the gentleman with my life, but I have to say it first. Old Zhang, you have to concentrate my scenes into one or two days to finish filming."

"And that scene of Little Liu, if it can be conservative, be conservative. At most, show a shoulder."

Maybe feeling that he had said a bit too much, Boss Lu made up for it again.

"Of course, I'm just making a suggestion, haha, Old Zhang, you see for yourself."

"Understood, understood."

The two walked to the rehearsal site laughing and talking, and suddenly Lu Kuan was stopped by a female voice.

Turning his head, it was actually Tong Liya.

"Little Tong, why are you here?"

Zhang Jizhong left very sensibly. Tong Liya twisted her hands in front of her chest and walked over awkwardly.

If she hadn't happened to see him while waiting for the scene just now, and she really had no other way, she would really be embarrassed to open this mouth.

"Director Lu, I... I have something I want to ask you for help."

Lu Kuan saw that the rehearsal was about to start: "Make a long story short."

Tong Liya then opened her mouth with difficulty.

"Director Lu, I listened to you and signed up for an acting class at the Central Academy of Drama outside these few months."

"There is a Teacher Song inside. I paid 8,000 in tuition, but he told me, told me..."

The Northern Xinjiang beauty gathered her courage: "He said that if I want to enter the acting department of the Central Academy of Drama, I must first pass the consent of Director Huang, and also told me to follow him to Director Huang's house this week..."

"You just ask for a refund, unless you want to go yourself."

Tong Liya said anxiously: "I mean to ask him to refund the money, but he threatened me, saying that I can't go, even if the money is given to me, I shouldn't think about... wuwuwu."

She cried as she spoke. Boss Lu just wanted to take the opportunity to wipe the tears for the Northern Xinjiang beauty, when suddenly a delicate scolding came to his ears!

"Lu Kuan, what are you doing?"

Liu Yifei, who had just finished the rehearsal, didn't even take off her makeup, wearing a pink suspender dress, and walked over with an unkind expression.

"Sister Tong? Why are you here?"

Tong Liya couldn't help herself just now. She didn't know how she had been strong for so long, and why she collapsed while talking in front of him.

Perhaps it was because she knew that this Director Lu had the power to suppress Yu Dong, and maybe he could also...

"Yifei, hello, I... I am also here for rehearsal. I am an actor of the Northern Xinjiang dance *Spring Letter*."

Boss Lu looked at Liu Yifei's scrutinizing gaze with a bit of guilt, feeling quite tricky. How could she come so coincidentally.

"That, Little Liu, you chat with Little Tong for a while, I'll go to the rehearsal, and we'll talk after it's over."

The young director left with righteousness.

Liu Yifei let Tong Liya, who had already finished the performance and was in casual clothes, wait for her. After changing clothes in the dressing room, she took her out of the CCTV studio.

Yang Siwei was waiting for her in the car.

"Xixi, why did you come out alone? Where is Director Lu?"

"Eh, who is this?"

Liu Yifei introduced the two and asked about the origin of Tong Liya's crying just now.

"Was it Lu Kuan who behaved improperly toward you just now? You tell me, I..."

Yang Siwei looked at her artist with interest. What would you do?

You say it, what can you do?

Before she could drop the harsh words, Tong Liya hurried to clarify the misunderstanding: "No, no, I asked Director Lu to help me. It has nothing to do with him."

Yang Siwei and Liu Yifei were both filled with righteous indignation after hearing her crying.

"I've been hearing about this these few days. This Huang Dingyu, how can he be worse than Lu Kuan!"

Yang Siwei just wanted to echo, but stopped when she heard the back.

I dare not say this.

"Don't worry, Sister Tong, I'll tell Lu Kuan and let him help you."

She didn't think that her words were contradictory. Both are bad guys, why would Lu Kuan go to target another bad guy?

Yang Siwei quietly poked her from behind Liu Yifei, suggesting that you shouldn't make big promises to others, and you won't be able to fulfill them later.

Liu Yifei put her left hand behind her back and waved to signal her not to be noisy.

"Sister Tong, how about I give you an idea?"

Tong Liya looked at this younger sister who was a few years younger than herself with teary eyes. She was quite good.

She sent her home when she came out of Lu Kuan's house last time, and kept asking questions, fearing that she would suffer losses.

She felt that she was so useless, and she was not as flexible as a little sister.

"Xixi, you say, I'll listen to you."

"Lu Kuan's company lacks female artists. How about I help you sign in?"

Su Chang:???

Again?

This time, let alone Tong Liya, Yang Siwei was stunned.

Do you think you are the boss's wife of the inquiry realm?

Liu Yifei thought of the entertainment industry route concept that Lu Kuan popularized last night and began to fool Tong Liya.

"Look, Sister Tong, the most feared thing in this entertainment industry is the similarity of acting routes. Once it is similar, those with fewer resources and poor interpersonal relationships will never catch up with the people in front."

"But you have characteristics. Now, Northern Xinjiang beauties in the country, it seems that those of your age who are breaking into the entertainment industry are not common, right?"

"I also have a best friend named Su Chang. I don't know if you have seen Jin Meili in *Gilded Age*."

Tong Liya said: "I know, that little girl with braids."

"Yes, yes, yes! That's her. I always tell her, your image, acting skills, and overall feeling are particularly suitable for the chick-flick role."

"Chick-flick?"

Yang Siwei and Tong Liya were both dumbfounded. Because Yang Siwei left the inquiry realm too early, she didn't have time to listen to Boss Lu's class.

"Yes, let me explain to you, this chick-flick is..."

Liu Yifei's writing was like a spring when she blew the cow, and she looked at the two people's worship and questioning eyes with a sense of accomplishment, and made the final concluding remarks.

"So! To be an actor, you must have recognition. If you reach the extreme in this type of chick-flick role, all directors will look for you when they think of this subject in the future!"

"Sister Tong, your exotic style is also very recognizable. I am familiar with Lu Kuan. How about I recommend you to him?"

Tong Liya twisted: "This... is this appropriate, Xixi? I haven't even been to an acting school."

"What's the matter with this? Lu Kuan himself didn't take a day of directing class before filming. It's okay!"

"And let me tell you, he is particularly stingy and snobbish. If you don't want to sign with him, whether he can help you is not certain."

Tong Liya had mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't expect this little sister to be so capable and see through artist development so thoroughly. No wonder she could be so popular at sixteen.

"Then... if it's convenient, please ask Xixi to tell Director Lu for me?"

Liu Yifei happily promised: "Okay!"

Immediately, she frowned again: "However..."

Tong Liya was about to hold her breath and listen to her conditions, when Liu Yifei suddenly turned around and looked at Yang Siwei, who had a complicated expression.

"Siwei, you get out of the car first, watch for me, and knock on the car window when Lu Kuan comes over."

Yang Siwei:???

The chubby manager helplessly followed suit. Looking at the young girl's beautiful side face through the slightly reflective car window, her heart was mixed with five flavors.

Liu Yifei, you make me feel strange now.

Inside the car, the pyramid scheme Little Liu was doing ideological work with ease.

"Sister Tong, I helped you, you help me with a favor too."

"Hmm, Xixi, you say, as long as I can do it!"

Liu Yifei laughed: "Hehe, it's actually very simple. After you really enter the inquiry realm, if it's convenient, you help me..."

"What? What does this mean?"

Tong Liya was horrified to find that this seemingly innocent little girl in front of her was far from as simple as she thought.

"Don't panic! It's just by the way. The inquiry realm will definitely sign other female artists in the future. You and Su Chang are my people, just help me pay a little attention."

"Just do what you should do normally. It's just like, for example, one day I send you a message, asking you, for example, where Lu Kuan is, etc. If you know, tell me."

"Simple, right? No one knows, no one knows it's you who said it. I will definitely protect your safety, don't worry!"

Tong Liya's heart was in a panic, and she didn't know how to answer. Suddenly, Yang Siwei, who was facing away from them, knocked on the car window quickly.

The two got out of the car and watched A Fei follow Lu Kuan over.

"You go back first, I have a dinner party tonight."

Boss Lu glanced at Tong Liya, and it was not easy to say too much because Liu Yifei was here.

"I know about your matter, again..."

Liu Yifei glared: "Again what again? Lu Kuan, do you have any conscience?"

"Seeing such injustice, shouldn't you draw your sword to help?"

Lu Kuan frowned at her. Are you a damn flying little policewoman?

However, this Tong Liya is a talent that can be created among female artists in the domestic entertainment industry in later generations. She is not very outstanding, but she wins in the recognition of exotic style.

Later, the two from Northern Xinjiang could become so popular, why couldn't this first generation make more money for Boss Lu?

After hearing Tong Liya's description, he also decisively ordered.

"How about this, you find a time to come to the company, and I will let the company lawyer accompany you to make a call."

"You just tell the truth on the phone, record all the words of that Teacher Song, and I will find someone to expose it for you and get the money back."

"Let's talk about the art exam for the Central Academy of Drama or Beijing Film Academy next year. You sign the contract with the company first, and someone will look for you."

Boss Lu greeted A Fei and left after speaking, and had to discuss the Travel Channel with Han Shanping and Dong Shuangqiang in the evening.

Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows at Tong Liya with her back to Lu Kuan, which made her stunned.

It actually succeeded!

"Thank you, Xixi, you are too amazing!"

Liu Yifei thought to herself, I am amazing a hair, it is this dog thing who has long coveted you, okay.

The location for dinner in the evening was found by Dong Shuangqiang, still in a hutong that turned seven times and eight times, without a sign, and not open to the public.

After the eight-point regulation came out in later generations, this kind of private restaurant exclusively for leaders to consume sprang up like mushrooms, but the cautious Old Dong started looking for these places in 2003.

It was probably to provide a place for the leaders behind him to feast and talk about things.

Added to Han Shanping's secretary Gao Chengsheng and Zhang Jizhong who came with good wine, the five people sat in a small private room.

Dong Shuangqiang found the location, and naturally he brought the wine. Seeing Zhang Jizhong smiling and unpacking two bottles of 80-year-old octagonal cap Flying Fairy, Old Dong's face was slightly unhappy.

"Old Zhang, you just add a pair of chopsticks when you come, hurry up and put the wine away!"

Boss Lu watched dumbfounded as Dong Shuangqiang took out 60-degree Grassland White from the bag.

"Old Dong, who do you want to drink to death today, why bring such strong wine."

Grassland White is Inner Mongolian local wine. In terms of value, it certainly can't compare with Moutai, but Dong Shuangqiang is an Inner Mongolian, and it is not wrong to take hometown wine to entertain guests.

But this wine is commonly known as "Drunk Donkey," and those with small alcohol capacity will die after two taels.

Han Shanping also touched his stomach with a trembling liver: "Why don't we just drink some Moutai today, and drink your Grassland White in the first month, warm!"

Dong Shuangqiang wouldn't agree, and filled everyone with 3-tael small glass cups without saying a word.

"Everyone here can drink a little. It's not easy to get together. No matter what, we have to be happy today."

Immediately, he joked to Han Shanping: "Han Zong, old brother, I don't treat you as a leader today, just eat and drink."

"Hey! I'm a Sichuanese, can I be afraid of drinking? Come!"

The cold dish hadn't been served yet, and a few people had already drunk a finger of wine with a plate of peanuts.

Even Boss Lu, who had been tested by alcohol, felt a bit hissed and disliked the wine, like a fire burning from his throat to his dantian.

Zhang Jizhong borrowed Lu Kuan's face to mix in the circle today, and immediately began to take the initiative to toast with a low posture.

After three rounds of drinking, a few people talked about business.

"Little Lu, after the New Year, the production unit of the Travel Channel in Beijing will be handed over to us. How are you planning to do it?"

Dong Shuangqiang and Lu Kuan had communicated many times and basically set the plan.

"President Lu, you talk about it, after all, it's your idea, I'm afraid I won't say it well."

Boss Lu touched him, swallowed the wine in the cup: "2004 development plan, three axes."

"Variety shows, prime-time TV dramas, and seasonal dramas."

Han Shanping was most concerned about the seasonal drama project similar to the TV movie mode, so Boss Lu explained this one first.

He took a book out of his bag and placed it in front of him.

"*Zhu Xian*?"

That's right, it's that *Zhu Xian*. It had already been published in Taiwan in March.

During this period, the martial arts and immortal cultivation audiences in Taiwan and Hong Kong, as well as the popular literature publishing industry, were relatively developed, and many test-water works would be published in Taiwan first.

"Let me briefly introduce this novel. Overall, it's the same routine as *Sword*."

"Immortal cultivation theme, sect disputes, love and hatred entanglement of male and female protagonists."

"I have already organized the novel author and screenwriter team in the inquiry realm, and the first version will be released before the end of the month."

Lu Kuan had mentioned several plans before, setting the theme at the soft political level of *House of Cards*, but Han Shanping inquired about the review scale and was immediately rejected.

This kind of seasonal drama wants to be as eye-catching as American dramas, so that the audience can look forward to the plot of the next week every week.

In addition to the high-rated yellow-violent political themes, in the current era, only the exquisite pictures comparable to movies and grand special effects scenes can be used to hook.

Lu Kuan continued to explain.

"Choosing this novel for adaptation is based on several reasons."

"First, fill the gap in immortal cultivation dramas after *Sword*. Currently, only our inquiry realm has eaten crabs in this theme, and there is no other family."

"Second, immortal cultivation dramas give special effects means room to play, reaching the eye-catching effect to the greatest extent, just stuck in the cost-performance line between movies and ordinary TV dramas."

Han Shanping asked: "How to say?"

"Let's give an example. The ticket price of the Hollywood special effects blockbuster *Harry Potter* in first-tier cities last year was about 35-40."

"And the national average monthly salary last year was less than 1,200. To put it more directly, this 40-yuan movie ticket is enough to buy 8 or 9 catties of pork."

"If! Now there is a local satellite TV, inviting you to watch a movie with special effects no less than Hollywood blockbusters every week, do you think the audience will look forward to it?"

Dong Shuangqiang raised a core question: "The cost of each episode when special effects reach the level of blockbusters?"

Zhang Jizhong supported: "The cost of Hollywood is extremely high, but now domestic directors know that Boss Lu has a special effects company, haha."

Lu Kuan was noncommittal. He had a little selfishness in this matter, but it was mainly to improve the quality of the drama.

"The reason why the special effects cost of Hollywood blockbusters is high is mainly because the labor cost of Western special effects companies is high. This time filming in the US, we poached more than a dozen special effects artists, pyrotechnicians, and visual effects directors."

"Currently, the annual salary of a mid-level special effects person in Hollywood is about 40,000 USD, and top-level personnel are about 150,000 USD. For example, the Beast Logic project of *Exotic* in Australia had more than 800 people working overtime at the same time. Even if they have 2-3 projects on their hands, the cost of the special effects part alone is as high as more than 27 million USD."

"But the average domestic labor cost is less than 1/4 of Hollywood. The special effects content of *Zhu Xian*, except for a small part that needs to be taken abroad, can be fully competent by the current domestic team of Butian Film, which can be said to be cheap and good!"

Poaching people, training through war through the *Exotic* project, and then connecting to the special effects work of two big projects, *A World Without Thieves* and *The Promise*.

Currently, the special effects level of Butian Film can basically catch up with the second-tier level of Hollywood.

The special effects work of a TV drama can still be guaranteed in quality and quantity.

Dong Shuangqiang agreed: "If there is such a high cost-effective special effects service, with the quality of the drama, the advertising fee can completely plug most of the special effects costs."

Han Shanping continued to ask: "How are the screening and filming cycle and the arrangement of actors and staff considered?"

"Let's talk about actors and staff first."

"I will personally direct the first four episodes of the first season, setting the tone for the style, special effects level, and plot rhythm of the whole drama."

"Then the remaining episodes will be completed by 1-3 directors. Whether it is one person or two people, it is fine as long as they can perfectly implement the previous style."

No one knows the audience's taste and eye-catching points better than Lu Kuan. The first shot is fired by him, and the directors below follow the rules.

For example, Wu Ershan, Lin Yibin, and others who have practiced with him in *Exotic*.

"In terms of actors, I suggest focusing on acting students and old actors from theater troupes whose abilities are up to standard."

For example, Hu Ge, a junior at the inquiry realm, and Zhu Yawen, a sophomore at Beijing Film Academy.

"These two types of people, first, the salary is not high, second, the time is easy to cooperate, and the old lead the new, the average performance quality is guaranteed."

The rhythm Lu Kuan envisioned was that he would film the first four episodes before the broadcast season, and start filming the fifth episode after collecting audience feedback after the first week of broadcast.

In this way, the following directors have a longer adaptation time, and when they gradually enter the good situation, they will reach the progress of one episode per week.

"Starting from 2004, 7-10 months is the broadcast season, mainly to catch up with the summer vacation and the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day slots, broadcast on Saturday night every week, about 12-16 episodes per season."

"November to February of the second year is the script creation time for the next season. If the response of the previous season is good, a round of rebroadcast will be arranged before July, or it can be sold to other TV stations."

Dong Shuangqiang laughed: "It's still Director Lu who knows how to do business. Play by yourself first, play with what's left for others, and change to a new woman in August, right?"

Boss Lu was righteous: "Vulgar!"

"The first is to share the cost. I believe there is no local TV station that does not covet our quality drama except CCTV."

"The second is also to create an expectation for the audience. This round of broadcast is equivalent to the previous summary, helping the audience recall the plot of the previous season."

Han Shanping nodded. The whole plan was very detailed, basically considering all aspects of innovation and landing.

"I'll add a few more points."

"First, advertising investment adopts a fixed plus flexible mode. I would rather have a low fixed amount than a high flexible proportion. I have great confidence in the ratings of the drama."

Han Shanping laughed: "Your *Exotic* is also premiering in June. At that time, the ticket price will not be lower than 40 yuan. This just gives the audience a psychological comparison."

"I am every week? Haha!"

Everyone laughed. Before, they learned a word from Lu Kuan called "white prostitution," and the audience loves white prostitution.

"Second, I contacted another film and television review forum under the blog site, called Douban, which is also an important factor for success."

The few people present might be proficient in traditional film and television projects, but they knew very little about internet collaboration.

"The reason seasonal dramas are filmed while airing is to cater to the audience's thoughts and collect feedback. This forum is very popular right now; we must make use of it."

"We set up a separate discussion group on Douban to guide the audience to comment and feedback on the plot, characters, etc., and encourage posting. Not only is it conducive to collecting opinions, but it is also a natural advertising center."

This is equivalent to big data collection in the barbaric era. Without big data services in later generations, we can only make do with human collection of opinions.

Han Shanping slapped his thigh: "Just do it! I'll wait for your script to be completed and see the effect of the first few episodes."

Boss Lu laughed: "Han Zong, don't rush to make a decision. There is another major problem that needs you to coordinate in the middle."

"What?"

"Review problem."

Dong Shuangqiang took the conversation: "If you participate in the review according to TV dramas, you must first report the script plan for review, and you have to review it again after production. We film while broadcast, and we are definitely not capable of time."

"Han Zong, I suggest that China Film come forward, in the form of TV movies, report for review by episode. This year's new national policy, except for major themes such as history and political figures, can all be reported for approval by script first."

Han Shanping frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly turned to Lu Kuan: "Little Lu, this matter is actually easier for you to handle than me."

Everyone was shocked. 【228】 You are the vice chairman and general manager of China Film, he is a commoner director, how can it be easier for him to handle than you.

You are a Vice Chairman and General Manager of China Film, while he is just a commoner director; how is it that he is easier to deal with than you?

Han Shanping laughed: "You go to Director Tong! You helped him so much last time, don't you have to ask for some favors?"

This refers to November, Lu Kuan's achievement of fighting against the crowd at the Beijing Film Academy Seven Gentlemen unblocking symposium.

"How about this, Han Zong, Shiliu Da proposed the concept of cultural industry, and China Film will also be a pilot unit next year. Let's go to Director Tong together and chat with him about this film and television concept between TV dramas and movies."

"See if we can give a more flexible review plan for emerging industries, such as reporting for approval of one season of dramas at a time, even if we pay a high deposit to the SARFT in advance, if we violate the review conditions after broadcast, we will deduct money directly."

Han Shanping looked at him in surprise. What kind of deposit is this, protection fee?

You paid 10 million in advance for this season, and you won't film the next season?

Isn't this money always pressed in the small treasury of the SARFT!

This kid, really a thief!

Old Han didn't point it out at the moment. This matter was relatively easy to handle.

Not to mention anything else, in the current TV drama review team, the Beijing Film Academy department includes the director department head Xie Xiaojin and old professor Zheng Dongtian.

Didn't we also look for them when *Sword* went to the star before?

All kinds of details were basically agreed upon. Dong Shuangqiang wanted to say something, but heard Han Shanping interrupt as if unintentionally.

"Then this matter is basically settled. The preparation work for *Zhu Xian* will trouble Director Lu."

Dong Shuangqiang paused in his heart!

The speaker has intention, the listener has more intention. This sentence implicitly mentioned the copyright issue of *Zhu Xian*.

Boss Lu blew the floating leaves in the tea lightly, his eyes not communicating with anyone.

He was also waiting for Dong Shuangqiang's reaction.

Who owns the copyright of *Zhu Xian*? This is undoubtedly an extremely important question.

For Lu Kuan and the inquiry realm, the IP of *Zhu Xian* is a derivative theme that can be infinitely explored.

He can sell second rounds and sell peripherals in the first season.

If the second season is popular, he can sell game adaptation rights, and even!

He can pull the animators of Butian Film over, and poach a few game company people to make games himself!

If the third season is popular, a big movie adaptation is inevitable.

*Zhu Xian*, which has accumulated tens of millions to hundreds of millions of followers nationwide in three seasons, is just picking up money to film a big movie.

But now there is a problem:

Lu Kuan, Dong Shuangqiang, and China Film control the Travel Channel through New Horizon.

Lu Kuan plays the role of program director and content provider.

I found the script and screenwriter team myself, and I directed it myself. Why should I accept the joint venture New Horizon to buy shares and divide the copyright?

Isn't it fragrant for me to swallow the copyright alone in the inquiry realm and sell it to you New Horizon at market price?

But Dong Shuangqiang is not willing!

As mentioned earlier, he is a capital crocodile accustomed to making large valuations and cashing out after listing. You, Director Lu, now hold the copyright tightly and don't let go. How can I, New Horizon, increase the valuation?

How can I borrow shells, list, and cash out later?

Lu Kuan had long since thought of this point, which was why Old Han had just made that remark that seemed both intentional and unintentional.

What is "the preparation work for *Zhu Xian* will trouble Director Lu"?

Dong Shuangqiang's face sank instantly. He should have thought of this point long ago.

He thought Lu Kuan wanted to swallow the copyright alone. China Film and Dong Shuangqiang should be on the same front and would not allow such things to happen.

But he forgot that Han Shanping is Han Shanping, and China Film is China Film.

This money was earned and went into China Film's pocket. What does it have to do with me, Han Shanping?

Boss Lu can just mean it privately, which is enough to let Han Shanping stand in the same camp as him!

The scene was instantly dead silent. Even Zhang Jizhong, who was watching the excitement, felt a coldness in the air.

"Hahaha! Han Zong is joking. I am about to prepare for the next movie. You hand over the whole project to me, and I am not capable of it!"

Boss Lu asked Dong Shuangqiang for his opinion as if asking for advice: "Brother Dong, our inquiry realm will take the lead in this matter, and New Horizon will also help. Okay?"

Dong Shuangqiang's face thawed instantly. He secretly rejoiced that he didn't turn his face just now. Is this kid playing with me?

One attitude after another, making him feel up and down in his heart.

"Hehe, brother is humble. Those who can do more work!"

He pondered for a while and slapped his thigh: "How about this, New Horizon doesn't have much funds on the account, occupy 30%, and the inquiry realm will eat the remaining share."

"Han Zong, what do you think?"

The inquiry realm itself holds 25% of New Horizon, plus 70% later, which is equivalent to the inquiry realm holding 77.5% of the entire project.

Han Shanping was originally lifting the sedan chair for Lu Kuan. Boss Lu let out some points himself, so he naturally had no opinion.

"I think it's okay."

Gao Chengsheng watched all this silently from the side, secretly sighing at Lu Kuan's meticulous mind.

Before the dinner party in the evening, he found Han Shanping first.

That rush just now was just a strategy discussed by the two.

It is said that if you take the top, you get the middle; if you take the middle, you get the bottom.

Han Shanping first pulled the partial frame, and then gave Lu Kuan room to find a supplement. Now Dong Shuangqiang himself didn't take much copyright share, and he had to be grateful to Lu Kuan.

Such means and schemes, how should he be evaluated!

It can only be said that it is best not to be Lu Kuan's enemy...

Dong Shuangqiang was a bit tipsy, and that big play just now made him break out in a cold sweat.

If you want to say that you have an opinion on Lu Kuan, it seems that it is not enough. After all, people also shared some copyrights with him.

If you really turn your face, people will cooperate with Hunan TV station, and New Horizon will only occupy 25% of the share. Now if you turn it over, you can still make a profit!

But if you want to say how grateful you are for this 30% share, it seems that you have made yourself particularly pitiful...

Sigh, this Lu Kuan, what is good to say!

It made his Old Dong like a little daughter-in-law, awkward.

But this Travel Channel really can't do without him. Without new content, what is the difference between Travel Channel and other second- and third-tier satellite TV stations except Hunan TV station?

Only Lu Kuan and the inquiry realm behind him can bring high-quality content, which is the key to attracting advertisers and increasing ratings.

It is also the key to the appreciation of the assets in his hands.

Boss Lu continued: "The second axe is the prime-time TV drama program."

"We innovate, but this kind of prime time must be grasped. This is the basic plate of ratings."

"The post-production of Teacher Jiang Wei's *Lurking* in the inquiry realm has been completed. I watched a few episodes yesterday, absolutely no problem."

"It's no exaggeration to say that next year, except for a few dramas on CCTV and Hunan TV, I can't think of any works that can rival *Lurking* in ratings."

Dong Shuangqiang nodded: "But *Lurking* is only enough to put for a month or so, the follow-up..."

"The follow-up is a military-themed drama called *Soldiers Sortie*. I asked Old Zhang to find Kang Honglei today, and it's basically settled."

Han Shanping listened to his planning, only seamless can describe it.

The audience of *Zhu Xian* is under 35 years old, and the spy war dramas and military dramas in prime time are the audience group over 35 years old.

But Boss Lu also has a trump card, a phenomenal variety show that has been proven by the times and history.

"*Super Girl*?"

"Hmm, everyone can understand it as the Chinese version of *American Idol*."

*American Idol* is a reality show launched by Fox in 2002. American citizens aged 16 to 24 can sign up to participate, and the champion can get a singing contract.

In other words, Hunan TV is the ancestor of this talent show.

Boss Lu laughed: "I will communicate the detailed content of the program at the meeting, but now I must register the copyright first."

"Why?"

"Hunan TV is also considering it, and hasn't made up its mind to operate."

The time point chosen by Boss Lu to intercept is relatively critical, because Hunan TV had already made an attempt in 2003.

In 2003, the entertainment channel of Hunan TV engaged in a "Happy Boy" that tested the water, but because the publicity and production concepts had large loopholes, it was considered a failure and didn't lift any waves.

Boss Lu didn't know why Ouyang Changqing started the idea of this talent show again next year, but this life will definitely be intercepted.

Everyone is copying Fox, so don't say who is more noble than whom.

In fact, he also thought about alternatives like *The Voice*.

But it is still that sentence, now is the starting period of the domestic entertainment wave, that is, this kind of relatively elegant and popular program is easier to succeed.

Leading half a step is a genius, leading one step is a lunatic.

*The Voice* can be seen as 2.0 of music variety shows. When everyone competes to imitate *Super Girl* next year or the year after, and homogeneous competition is serious.

Lu Kuan relies on his own connections, invites judges including Mei Yanfang and her Hong Kong singer friends, Zhou Jielun, Han Hong, etc., and then engages in *The Voice*.

Launched when the audience is aesthetically fatigued by *Super Girl* style, it is another killer move.

Competitors will find that they have been imitating and have never been surpassed.

Dong Shuangqiang and Han Shanping looked at each other and hesitated: "Since Hunan TV's similar program encountered Waterloo last year, this year we..."

Boss Lu showed weakness: "I have some ideas, but it is indeed not necessarily successful. It is a beneficial attempt. In short, our basic plate is in prime time and seasonal dramas."

Nonsense!

Now who can recognize the money-sucking and eye-catching of this program, pretend to be cowardly first and put the copyright in the inquiry realm. Dong Shuangqiang and China Film will not look at this thing for the time being.

"I have poached a team from various local TV stations this month. Let's integrate it with the Travel Channel. The program risk is relatively large, so it will be produced by the inquiry realm and sold to New Horizon at that time."

Dong Shuangqiang smiled awkwardly: "Lu, I didn't mean that."

Old Dong was a bit embarrassed. People just let him 30% of the share, and now he shrinks back when there is a risky column, which seems not very good!

Boss Lu was heroic: "It's okay! I just practice the team by the way. When the company was established, there was a variety show production department, and there has been no project practice."

"Nothing to say, Director Lu, I toast you this cup!"

Dong Shuangqiang drank by himself, and drank the wine in the cup before Lu Kuan reacted.

Sigh, why bother Old Dong...

It is not that Boss Lu is painstakingly taking advantage of friendly forces.

Whether it is the copyright of *Zhu Xian* or *Super Girl*, only by holding it in his own hands can the benefits be maximized.

Sharing it with a China Film that only makes movies, and a Dong Shuangqiang who only thinks about listing and cashing out is too wasteful, simply a waste of heaven.

And for Lu Kuan, the traffic significance brought by the development of these two and the blog site and Douban even exceeds the actual income.

Take the second *Super Girl* in 2005 as an example.

The program group set up 5 competition areas in Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Zhengzhou, and Changsha, attracting 150,000 contestants to participate in the audition, and more than 20 million viewers continued to pay attention.

The Baidu Tieba, which had just been born at that time, had more than 75,000 themes and more than 880,000 posts in less than a month of the program audition.

In this life, in the final stage, in addition to SMS, you can also set up voting channels for blog sites and Douban. Customers open 5 yuan/month SP membership to get a number of votes.

It's all money! It's all users!

This batch of 80s and 90s users is the backbone of future domestic internet users and must be won!
