Chapter 85 The person you are waiting for finally shows up
I gave Jingtian two songs, one of which is "Learn to Meow", I believe she will like it very much.
This song has a light and simple melody, which is very popular among girls and easy to attract fans.
The other song is "Fortune Telling", which also has a simple melody and is catchy, suitable for Jing Tian's current level.
If nothing unexpected happens, Jing Tian will gain a group of fans after the release of this EP. This way, whether she is admitted to the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy or her acting career, it will be much smoother than in her previous life.
……
As September arrived, the broadcaster of "The Good Times of Daughter-in-law" was confirmed.
Beijing TV and Tomato TV cooperated to win the first broadcast rights.
The two companies offered a total of 2400 million, with each company paying half.
Originally, just based on the main lineup of Huang Haibo + Hai Qing, and Liu Kang's reputation, it would not be able to be sold at this price.
But who made it possible for this drama to be produced, supervised and written by Lin Yicheng?
The three words "Lin Yicheng" are worth their extra price!
After coordination between the two parties, both will be broadcast in the prime time slot in October this year.
In contrast, Blueberry TV expressed deep hurt.
Three companies were competing together, but you two turned around and cooperated, and kicked me out! Municipalities are so great! Don’t bully people like this!
At present, the domestic policy for TV dramas is still "one drama, four stars", that is, a TV drama can be broadcast on up to four satellite TV stations at the same time.
Originally, these three companies could have won the first round together, but I don’t know what those two companies were thinking, they didn’t even want to play with Blueberry TV.
Perhaps, it was for the purpose of striking down competitors? But this had nothing to do with Lin Yicheng.
……
On this day, a person whom Lin Yicheng had expected and had been waiting for for a long time finally came to his door.
Jiang Wei is a graduate student in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy and can be considered as Lin Yicheng's senior.
Feng Yuanzheng was the screenwriter of Don't Talk to Strangers and the director of Silent Witness. In the future, he will be the director of Hidden.
"Senior Brother, I've heard of your great name a long time ago, but I never had the chance to meet you before." Lin Yicheng was very enthusiastic.
"Compared to you, my fame is nothing." Jiang Wei wore black-rimmed glasses and spoke in a very friendly manner.
Lin Yicheng politely made tea and poured it for him, and the two of them exchanged pleasantries.
We are all students of Beijing Film Academy, so we can talk about the mentors we all know, and the famous seniors who graduated from the school. There will be no shortage of topics.
Seeing that he had already drunk three cups of tea and Lin Yicheng didn't ask him why he came, Jiang Wei became a little impatient.
This junior student is really good at talking. If he keeps on talking, the 50-year history of Beijing Film Academy will not be enough for him to talk about.
……
"To be honest, I came here today to seek cooperation." Jiang Wei took the initiative to talk about business.
"Brother, do you have any good books? No problem, I'll give you the green light!" Lin Yicheng said generously, as if he was completely unaware of Jiang Wei's intention.
"It's not that I have a notebook, it's that I wanted to come to you, my junior brother, to ask for a notebook." Jiang Wei adjusted his glasses and said.
"Brother, please tell me what type you need. I'll see if I have it in stock. If not, I'll write one for you."
"It's like this. This year, your sister-in-law saw a short story called "Lush" and recommended it to me." Jiang Wei had no choice but to get straight to the point:
"Then Mr. Zhang also saw the novel, and we decided to buy it, adapt it, and make a TV series. But when we found the author and asked him, we found out that you had already bought the copyright."
Jiang Wei's wife, Zhang Jing, is a very capable person. She is usually the producer of Jiang Wei's works.
The Mr. Zhang here is Zhang Hongzhen, Zhang Jing’s brother, and also the president of Dongyang Qingyu Company, the producer of the original time and space "The Disguiser".
"So what do you mean, senior brother?" Lin Yicheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"We would like to ask you, Junior Brother, if you have any intention of giving up your love. Of course, we will give you enough compensation and will definitely not let you suffer any loss."
"Brother, isn't it a coincidence?" Lin Yicheng looked embarrassed. "I like this novel very much. The script has been written. At the company meeting a few days ago, we were ready to launch the project and start filming immediately. I will be the director and the actor." "This..." Jiang Wei frowned. If it was a simple copyright transfer, he still had the confidence to convince Lin Yicheng. It would just cost a little more money.
But after hearing what Lin Yicheng said, this was a project that the other party was planning to shoot himself, and asking them to transfer it would be a bit unreasonable.
As I said before, all famous directors are stubborn. If they set their sights on a project they want to shoot, they will do whatever it takes to make it happen.
Not only him, but also his wife and brother-in-law are optimistic about this project and think it has great prospects, so they are unwilling to give up.
Jiang Wei was silent for a moment. He was thinking about how to convince Lin Yicheng to transfer the project.
……
Lin Yicheng drank his tea quietly without interrupting.
Although they call each other "senior", they do not have the same mentor, and Jiang Wei chose Beijing Film Academy when he was studying for his master's degree, while Jiang Wei has a different alma mater. So, the relationship between the two is not close.
Besides, even if he is my senior, I can't just give the project to him without any reason.
Especially knowing how popular the drama "Lost" will be in the future.
What Lin Yicheng said just now was 20% true and 80% false.
He really wants to direct and act in this play.
After all, it is a drama that has both high ratings and awards, so it is a win-win situation both in terms of quality and appearance.
But to be honest, the role of Yu Zecheng is not suitable for him. Which undercover is so handsome? Aren't you afraid of being exposed?
Moreover, Lin Yicheng doesn’t think his acting skills are capable of handling this role. If he were to play the role, it might just ruin the role.
If Lin Yicheng only acted as a director, it would take too much time to complete the filming of this drama.
He has too many good projects on hand, and it is impossible for him to shoot them all by himself. He simply cannot do it all, and his efficiency will also be low.
Lin Yicheng naturally had to consider the cost-effectiveness issue. In order to make the funds flow and many projects progress quickly, cooperating with other companies was the best choice.
If the other party wants to cooperate this time, we can talk, but if they want to transfer the copyright, that’s out of the question.
Jiang Wei still hadn't figured out a solution. Transfer the project? He had given up hope. He would not be willing to do so.
Then the only option is to cooperate, but how?
He is a screenwriter and director, and so is Lin Yicheng, who can also act in the films himself.
What he can do, Lin Yicheng can do, and even better than him. Then, what is the use of him in such a cooperation?
For a moment, Jiang Wei was in a dilemma.
"Senior Brother." Lin Yicheng couldn't help but speak out. If he didn't speak, Jiang Wei would probably sit there for a long time.
"Hmm?" Jiang Wei came back to his senses.
"I can see that you really like this project, what do you think?" Lin Yicheng paused and said:
"For this project, we will co-direct it. If you have any ideas about the script, you can also give me some suggestions. I will act in it. What do you think?"
Jiang Wei admitted that he was very tempted.
Lin Yicheng is the director and the lead actor. What does this mean? A guarantee of high ratings!
He benefited from this method of cooperation.
If he were just one person, a pure director, there would be no problem.
The key point is that he is not alone, he has his wife, brother-in-law and Dongyang Qingyu behind him.
The project was recommended by my wife, and my brother-in-law was also interested in it, but he turned around and abandoned them. This is not right.
