Chapter 713 Price (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

Hengdian does not have a truly luxurious hotel now. In this era when actors’ salaries are generally only a few hundred yuan, a luxury hotel is not a place they can afford to live in.

This is different from later generations. The stars of later generations, not to mention that they have to enter a five-star hotel, even the assistants and bodyguards they bring are also clearly stipulated.

But Zhou Tao's wife, Sun Qing, has already decided to invest in a hotel in Hengdian. This is not Wu Jianye's suggestion, but Sun Qing's own decision.

According to Sun Qing's own statement: "Old Wu, since you are so optimistic about this place, then there is a need for investment here!"
Wu Jianye just smiled at this. Sun Qing is now a well-known hotel queen in China. According to Wu Jianye's suggestion, Sun Qing split her hotel business into two parts. One is Dynasty Hotel is in charge of luxury hotels, and the other is Home Inns in charge of economical hotel chain business!
Yes, the name was plagiarized by Wu Jianye again!

Hengdian Dynasty Hotel is now under construction, but it will not be completed until next year.

Wu Jianye actually has his own office in Hengdian Film and Television City, but he still lives in an ordinary hotel in Hengdian.

After Ren Dahui followed Wu Jianye to the hotel, he said in embarrassment: "Director Wu, there are actually some things this time, and I want to ask your opinion!"

Seeing this, Wu Jianye asked, "What's the matter, Teacher Ren, just tell me!"

Ren Dahui is said to be the number one producer in China, and Wu Jianye also respects him very much. In addition to "Journey to the West", Ren Dahui was responsible for "Dream of Red Mansions", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "Water Margin" among the four famous Chinese novels. chief producer.

Ren Dahui said: "It's actually like this. When we were preparing for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the RB TV station had already contacted us. You also know that we are not very sure about the quotations for our national TV dramas abroad. Regarding RB's quotation, look, can you give us a reference?"

Only then did Wu Jianye know that Ren Dahui had found him to ask about the overseas copyright of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he also knew why he felt embarrassed.

After all, none of the overseas copyrights of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been bought yet, but according to past experience and lessons, CCTV does not intend to directly sell all overseas copyrights to ATV this time, and Wu Jianye, as the behind-the-scenes boss of ATV, Ren Dahui also heard about it.

Now, in front of the boss behind ATV, Ren Dahui is naturally a little embarrassed to ask the quotation of the overseas copyright of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

Fortunately, when Hengdian Film and Television City decided to cooperate with CCTV, ATV had already found CCTV. Because Hengdian Film and Television City provided a shooting location for free, the price quoted by CCTV to ATV must not be too high.

Wu Jianye chuckled. He didn't take this matter to heart. Because of his appearance, CCTV's eyes were already different from those of another time and space. Even if they didn't ask themselves, they would find other channels, no Will be like in another time and space, sell it with your eyes closed!
In fact, if Wu Jianye hadn't appeared, because the copyright of "Dream of Red Mansions" in RB was sold at 1000 US dollars per episode, and at this price, CCTV itself knew that it was at a disadvantage!

"Mr. Ren, how much do you plan to sell CCTV?" Wu Jianye asked.

Ren Dahui gritted his teeth and said, "It must be sold for $1 an episode, right?"

Wu Jianye laughed, embarrassing Ren Dahui, and asked, "Is this price expensive?"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "Teacher Ren, even if Hengdian Film and Television City provides a studio and shooting base for this TV series, the investment has reached 7900 million yuan, right?"

Ren Dahui nodded, this is not a secret, it has been published in newspapers long ago.

The shooting of TV dramas or movies in this era is very different from that of later generations, especially in the scenes of war scenes. It is absolutely not like the later generations that just find dozens of people and dare to say that they are thousands of troops.

In this era, it is really necessary to find the army to help with the filming. When Wu Jianye participated in "Peacock Princess", didn't he also borrow the army from the local area, and the same is true for "The Last Emperor" and "New Dragon Inn" .

As a war drama, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is even more exaggerated.

In order to make this TV series well, the crew used unprecedented human, material and financial resources, and the number of extras alone reached more than 40.

Among them, when filming "Battle of Guandu", a division of the People's Army was used, costing about 40 yuan; when filming "Burning Chibi", the crew used 9 cameras and 1 helicopter. Shooting in three directions at the same time, 72 ships were used, more than 50 trucks of firewood, more than 20 tons of gasoline and diesel were burned in the fire, and more than 3000 extras were invited to participate in the filming.

These are extremely difficult in later generations.

Wu Jianye continued: "According to the announced news, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is going to be filmed into an 80-episode script. If one episode is only sold for 1 US dollars, it is actually only 80 US dollars. Converted into RMB, it is also worth 400 US dollars. It’s only about [-] million, do you think this price is suitable?”

At this time, Ren Dahui couldn't help sighing in his heart, Wu Jianye is really good, he not only provided a shooting location for the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but now even if he is not a staff member of CCTV, he can think of himself, What a nice man!

"Then Director Wu, how much do you think we should sell?"

Wu Jianye chuckled, stretched out five fingers, and said, "How can I get this number!"

Ren Dahui looked at Wu Jianye in surprise: "It's [-] US dollars per episode, isn't this too expensive?"

This price was five times the price of [-] US dollars for an episode that he had thought before, and it was difficult for him to accept it for a while.

Comrade Xiao Wu is darker!

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "8 US dollars is just a starting price, I think you can ask for [-] US dollars per episode, and then let RB counter the price, anyway, [-] US dollars is a reserve price, if "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" If this TV series were filmed by Tangting Culture, the price might be even more expensive!"

Why do you say that, in fact, it starts with everyone's confidence.

RB's obsession with Chinese culture can be said to be more serious than that of any country in the world, especially the culture of the Three Kingdoms period.

Even in the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, RB's local research on the culture of the Three Kingdoms surpassed that in China, which shows how obsessed RB is with the Three Kingdoms.

However, although the Chinese people of this era have begun to rise, some people still cannot stand up on their knees, and their waists are still bent habitually.

Tangting culture can implement Wu Jianye's intention from top to bottom, but CCTV is impossible. The unit is too big and there are too many people who can speak, which also makes their management more rigid and problematic.

No one can guarantee that in their leadership level, there is no habit of bending over
Ren Dahui gritted his teeth again, and said, "Okay, I will do as you said. If I can sell this price at RB this time, it will also have a great relief effect on Taiwan's finances!"

Wu Jianye chuckled, he had achieved his goal, anyway, he didn't have much to lose, and he remembered the price of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" clearly, even if he didn't cheat RB, They are not much cheaper, and because of the "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West", the relationship with CCTV was already a little tense, so we can take this opportunity to ease the relationship with CCTV .

In fact, in another time and space, CCTV did sell the copyright of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to RB at a price of 1 US dollars, and RB's TV station, after hearing the offer, immediately agreed to CCTV's proposal, which is fundamental. There is no counter-offer.

This also made Ren Dahui regret later that the money was less!

RB is naturally happy
Ren Dahui happily left Wu Jianye's room, ready to make a big deal.

In the next few days, accompanied by the staff of Hengdian Film and Television City, Wu Jianye continued to visit the construction of Hengdian Film and Television City.

Wu Jianye watched all the scenes of Ming and Qing Palaces, Spring and Autumn Period, Tang Garden, Fengshen Empire, etc.

There are places I am familiar with, such as the Ming and Qing palaces, Spring and Autumn and Tang Gardens, and there is another filming scene like the Fengshen Empire that does not exist in time and space.

There are still quite a few shooting locations under construction, and those that are about to be completed include shooting scenes such as the Ming and Qing folk houses Expo City.

After visiting these scenes, Wu Jianye called the person in charge of Hengdian Film and Television City!
The person in charge of Hengdian Film and Television City is also a person who came out of Yaoguang Talent Reserve, because ATV and Fengge Media are the major shareholders of Hengdian Film and Television City, and the management is naturally theirs.

"Not bad!" Sitting in his seat, Wu Jianye affirmed the development of Hengdian Film and Television City in recent years.

Wang Dexing is now the person in charge of Hengdian Film and Television City, with a smile on his face. As talents in the talent reserve room of Yaoguang Group, they will be told who is the real big boss on the first day they enter the talent reserve room.

And everyone who takes office will be received by Wu Jianye.

Hearing the affirmation of his work from Wu Jianye at this time, Wang Dexing was naturally very happy in his heart!

"We all work according to Director Wu's arrangement." Wang Dexing said.

Wu Jianye said: "You don't need to shoot flattery, I came here this time, actually there is one more thing, and that is Hengdian Film and Television City will reopen two filming bases!"

For Wu Jianye's reprimand, Wang Dexing didn't take it seriously either, people have many faces, Wang Dexing is a rather dog-legged personality, and he knew that the more insignificant reprimands, the more it meant that Wu Jianye didn't regard himself as an outsider.

"Director Wu, if you have any orders, just mention them, we promise to complete the task!"

It was not the first time for Wu Jianye to deal with Wang Dexing, and he knew what kind of character he was, and said, "This time, there are two special areas, one is the Republic of China special area, and the other is the Xianxia special area!"

"Director Wu, we understand the Republic of China zone, but what should we do in the Xianxia zone?" Wang Dexing didn't pretend to understand. In front of Wu Jianye, he made all these very appropriate, knowing that for Wu Jianye, what should he do? You must not pretend to understand what Ye Ye said!
Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "Experts will come to help you with this matter. You have to keep an eye on this special area, it will be of great use in the future!"

Regarding the Xianxia zone, Wu Jianye actually had this idea a long time ago, but the domestic film technology was not mature before, so the Hengdian Film and Television City was never built.

But it’s different now. The film academy has opened elective courses, and in two years, the first batch of talents will be contributed. In addition to the talents sent by Wu Jianye to study in the digital field in North America, at that time, the You can make a fuss about domestic fairy tales!
Two years is enough time for Hengdian Film and Television City to build its first Xianxia filming base.

When Wang Dexing heard that Wu Jianye had already made arrangements, he naturally had no further objections.

"Director Wu, thanks to your arrangement in advance, otherwise I really don't know where to start!"

Wu Jianye smiled wryly. There must be no problem with Wang Dexing's ability, otherwise he would not have been sent to Hengdian Film and Television City as the person in charge. It's just this personality that makes people speechless.

"Okay, there's no need to say anything nice, you go out first!" Wu Jianye waved his hand.

"Didn't I show my respect to Director Wu!" Wang Dexing didn't forget to flatter Wu Jianye before leaving.

But when he walked out of Wu Jianye's office, he immediately turned into a vigorous and resolute look, and immediately called his secretary, asking her to contact the leadership of Hengdian Film and Television City immediately for a meeting.

The most important thing for Wu Jianye to come to Hengdian this time is to build the shooting locations in the Republic of China District and the Xianxia District.

After this matter was over, Wu Jianye's work in Hengdian was over, and after a day's rest, he set off for Yanjing!

When he returned to Yanjing, Da Zhuang under Yang Zhun had already arrived in Yanjing.

"Director Wu, the matter of going to Lao Maozi's side has been arranged, when are we going to go there?" Da Zhuang asked honestly.

Wu Jianye said: "Don't worry, I'll wait for a few more people, and when they arrive, we can go there!"

Da Zhuang didn't ask who Wu Jianye was waiting for, so he nodded and said, "Oh, I know!"

What Wu Jianye was waiting for was actually Chen Hai, Xu Lun and the others. Wu Jianye didn't know what kind of chaos Lao Maozi was in now, but he could imagine it.

He must bring more people with him this time. He doesn't want to get hurt by Lao Maozi.

Two days later, Chen Hai and Xu Lun arrived in Yanjing with 20 people. Both of them were old acquaintances of Wu Jianye, so they boarded the plane to Lao Maozi without exchanging too many pleasantries.
