The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 107 Cooperative filming
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, the small county town was still scorching hot.

Meng Fei and his group finished their breakfast and then prepared to go back to Jinling.

Jiang Chunming was very satisfied with this visit.

Meng Fei was very excited, he wished he could rush to Gusu TV station now, and then broadcast the interview without editing.

At this moment, someone pointed to the outside and said, "A big leader has come from a small county."

Jiang Chunming accidentally rolled his eyes, and saw two small cars parked under the hotel building, and seven people got out of them. These seven people were all white shirts and trousers, and they really looked like leaders.

but……

Isn't that person Zhou Xuan?

What is he doing here?
Shonan Satellite TV wants to win over Li Shengyao.

Jiang Chunming immediately thought of Zhou Yun's intentions.

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and calmed down a lot.

He believed that Lee Sheng Yew and Gusu Satellite TV had a happy cooperation, and there was no need to change partners.

But always pay attention.

"Refund the train ticket, and we will stay for another day or two."

He wanted to know if Shonan Satellite TV had other plans.

Although I don't want to admit it, Taichung and Shonan Satellite TV, the local satellite TV, are the best in operation and have the best vision.

It was Shonan Satellite TV who first invested in the production of TV series, and it was also the first time they cooperated with Wanwan and Hong Kong Island film and television circles on a large scale.

……

The small county has no airport, only trains.

Zhou Xuan and his group could only come to this small town by train, everyone was tired, he planned to let everyone sleep for two hours, and then go to meet Li Shengyao together in the afternoon.

Five hours later, in a villa near the river in the small county town, Li Shengyao entertained the staff of Shonan Satellite TV.

This villa is a second-hand house, and the new house bought during the Chinese New Year has not yet been renovated.

Li Shengyao felt that living with his family was too crowded, and Chen Xun covered his mouth at night.

this is not good.

So I bought a second-hand small villa with electrical furniture that can be moved in at any time.

He changed a few beds, but did not change the others, so he stayed.

At this time, Chen Xun poured tea for everyone, and then sat behind Li Shengyao.

When Ding Yangguo saw Li Shengyao, his eyes lit up, "Director Li, my name is Ding Yangguo, and I am your fan. I like your three dramas very much. The photography, soundtrack, and plot design are all very good. I really like it."

Lao Ding has broad shoulders and a fierce appearance. Ordinary people may be afraid when they see him.

Of course, if you know that he filmed "Let's Watch Thunderstorm Together" and "Let's Watch Thunderstorm Together Again", then you shouldn't be afraid.

Naturally, Li Shengyao was not afraid of him, nor did he intend to despise him.

Although he didn't like to watch those two dramas, compared to the magical dramas made by other Hong Kong directors, Lao Ding's dramas were much more normal.

This person is still capable, but his concept is old. If he is properly taught, he can make idol dramas.

"Senior, please be polite."

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, if I'm in front of you, then I'm a late learner, I want to learn from you."

After what Ding Yanguo said, the atmosphere on the scene improved a lot.

Zhou Xuan then stated his purpose, "Director Li, we at Shonan Satellite TV admire you very much, and really wish we had known you a few years earlier."

"But it's not too late now, we want to cooperate with you, not just a superficial cooperation like Gusu Satellite TV, we want a deeper cooperation, we have funds, directors, and actors, but we just don't have a good book, Director Li, the script you wrote is top-notch, we want to cooperate with you, what do you think?"

Li Shengyao chuckled when he heard that, he was thinking of finding a director to make an idol drama.

Now that Shonan Satellite TV is here, it seems that God heard his request.

It is naturally a good thing to cooperate with Shonan Satellite TV to shoot those idol dramas.

It not only solves the trouble of the director's funding for filming, but more importantly, it is an additional partner.

In the future, if he makes "Full House", "Stairway to Heaven", or "The Heirs", "My Girl", which can earn foreign exchange, a company can make tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars by making TV series. .

At that time, regardless of how Lee Shengyao did charity, how low-key he was, someone must be jealous.

At this time, someone needs to share the firepower.

Shonan Satellite TV is a good partner.

Gusu Satellite TV does not have this plan yet, Lee Shengyao will talk to Gusu Satellite TV in a few months.

At that time, he will contribute part of the funds, produce the script, and a few actors, all of which will be produced by Suzhou Satellite TV. The TV series produced will not only share the dividends of domestic broadcast rights, but also share dividends of overseas broadcast rights.

Of course Lee Seung Yew took the lead.

He believes that Gusu Satellite TV will agree, this is a performance.

But of course you can't agree right now, otherwise it's hard to say the price, "Well...I have to think about it."

"Director Li, I think your best thing is your ability to write stories. If you have many excellent stories, wouldn't it be better for us to help you make them?"

Zhou Xuan was a little anxious.

After all, Li Shengyao is young, so he may not understand this truth.

Li Shengyao smiled, "Sit down for a while, I'll go into the room and think about it alone."

He then winked at Chen Xun, and the two of them entered the room together.

Chen Xun didn't know what Li Shengyao was thinking, thought he was really thinking, and sat quietly on the edge of the bed.

Li Shengyao lay down, hugged Chen Xun's waist sideways, squinted his eyes and slept for a while, then got up, straightened his clothes, "Let's go."

"Have you considered it?"

"All right."

After a while, Li Shengyao sat opposite Zhou Yun again. He poured a cup of tea for himself and Zhou Yun, and then slowly said: "I have always liked Shonan Satellite TV. Your TV station is very enterprising. I do have many stories. I I’m willing to share it, but as you know, my TV dramas don’t make much money domestically, and I mainly rely on overseas markets.”

Zhou Xuan heard the words and immediately continued: "Director Li, don't worry, we don't want dividends in overseas markets."

Maybe you don't care about the cooperation at the beginning, but after a long time, how can you ignore it?
When the time comes, Shonan Satellite TV will provide funds, directors, and actors, but watch Li Shengyao sell hundreds of millions, how could he not care.

To put an end to such a situation, not only must give up part of the benefits, but also have more partners, Gusu Satellite TV, and Shanghai City Satellite TV must also keep up, and we cannot let Shonan Satellite TV think that they are the only ones.

Li Shengyao smiled, "Director Zhou, I'm not the kind of person who eats alone. If you don't just provide funds, but also provide directors and actors, even overseas dividends, I will give it to you."

"In this way, if we cooperate to shoot a TV series, I will provide the script, and half of the funds, some of the main actors, and other aspects of Shonan Satellite TV will do it. The domestic dividend will be divided into half, and the overseas dividend will be divided into seven and three. I will seven and you three."

Zhou Xuan didn't expect to get overseas dividends at all, and he was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Okay, Director Li, we at Shonan Satellite TV will definitely not let you down, and will produce TV series that satisfy you."

Li Shengyao smiled, "But for my script, I want to be the producer, and I will decide the style of the work."

For a TV series, the director, producer, and producer are very important. If it cooperates with Shonan Satellite TV, the producers will naturally be produced by two parties, and then the producer will be Li Shengyao.

To make a general idol drama, you don't need a very strong producer, but you must at least have excellent aesthetic ability.

Don't let the director mess around.

Not to mention Hanzi being the producer and shooting greasy works in the East Eighth District.

"It's okay, Director Li, if you don't tell me, it should be you."

Li Shengyao nodded, and then said with a smile: "Wait a minute, I happen to have a script here called "Full House", you can read it first, if you are satisfied, it will be our first cooperation drama .”
