The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 110 ATV is Coming
On September 2001, 9, the weather in Yanjing was excellent, and the autumn air was crisp.

At the entrance of the parking lot of Liangmahe Building, a small security guard was bending over, handing a plastic paper cup filled with cold boiled water to a long-haired woman in front of her.

The woman is in her early twenties and has a very good figure. Wearing small high heels, she is almost 1.7 meters tall.

With fair skin, delicate face, curved eyebrows and eyes, there is a sense of tranquility in his face, no matter what time it is, he looks very gentle.

There was a strong wind at the entrance of the parking lot, and Yuanfeng pulled her clothes back, protruding her chest.

The little security guard looked straight.

"Sister, it's very windy here, do you want to take a few steps inside?"

"No, I'm right here."

This woman is Dong Xuan whom Li Shengyao met in Harbin.

She looks very gentle, and she always smiles at the corner of her mouth, so that the little security guard thinks that she can pursue a woman of this level.

At this moment, a black BMW slowly drove into the parking lot. Dong Xuan saw it and hurried over.

"Sister, sister..."

The little security guard yelled a few words, but Dong Xuan didn't look back.

"Ah... bah! Burning goods in a hurry."

Dong Xuan ran very fast. A woman who has practiced dancing is in good health. When Li Shengyao left the BMW, she just stepped forward.

"Hello, Director Li."

His face was a little red, and he was not panting at all.

Li Shengyao looked over in surprise, "Why are you waiting for me here?"

"Now unless there is an appointment, or an acquaintance brings it, the security will not let you into the building."

The reputation of Fenghua Film and Television Company is getting better and better, and more and more girls want to become artists of the company. Before that, almost every day, more than a dozen beautiful girls wanted to recommend themselves to Fenghua Film and Television Company.

Most of these strange women failed, some of them had no choice but to leave, and some of them were unhappy and started to sabotage.

It is said that a woman went to the bathroom of the building to turn on the tap to turn on the water, wasting a lot of water.

After this incident, the security guards of the building were much stricter about the woman who wanted to join Fenghua Film and Television Company.

Unless they are employees of Fenghua Film and Television Company, or are accompanied by employees, they will not be allowed to enter.

Li Shengyao smiled and looked Dong Xuan up and down.

She has a really good figure, she doesn't need firewood, she can get whatever she wants, she must be very comfortable to hold.

"Okay, follow me."

Not long after, in the general manager's office of Fenghua Film and Television Company, Li Shengyao and Dong Xuan were sitting opposite each other. He asked his assistant to pour Dong Xuan a cup of coffee, while he himself drank tea.

"what do you want to do?"

"I want to act, I am willing to sign a contract, I can sign a long-term contract, the liquidated damages can be raised very high, I promise not to breach the contract, and act well."

Almost every newcomer actually used this set of rhetoric.

Because they have no advantage when facing capital.

They are not irreplaceable.

Although Dong Xuan has always been a second- and third-tier actress, she won't suffer from signing.

Fenghua Film and Television Co., Ltd. is now cooperating with three satellite TV stations, plus Li Shengyao's own drama, there are four dramas.

Zhao Yang and Yan Danchen are very busy now, shooting commercials all day, they should be busy for a while.

I won't play for the time being.

Moreover, with the two people's current popularity, other film and television companies have already invited the two of them, and it is not necessarily the Fenghua Film and Television Company's play.

And Sun Li has already been confirmed as the female number one in "Full House", Zu Feng is the male number one in "Stairway to Heaven", and there is also a drama "My Girl", Fenghua Film and Television Company can also fill in people.

Lee Shengyao has not yet decided who to arrange.

Their company has too few artists, so it's just right to sign Dong Xuan.

However, some things need to be clarified.

Last year, Li Shengyao and Zhao Yangyan Danchen signed a [-]-[-] share. One is that he doesn't like the share, and the other is to show his sincerity.

After all, after Bae Yong Joon's "Winter Sonata" became popular in his previous life, he disliked the company's share of too much, and then he terminated the contract and became a boss.

Li Shengyao didn't want Zhao Yang to do the same, he even pointed out that Zhao Yang could shoot commercials all over the world.

Out of this consideration, he gave last year's actors a [-]-[-] split.

But now there is no need, Dong Xuan is a newcomer, with her audience popularity and acting skills, even if the company praises her, she is a first-line star.

There is no need for Li Shengyao to compromise on the share.

"Your image is very good, you can sign it, but you are a newcomer after all, I have something to explain."

He then spoke about the signing requirements.

The first is seventy-three, the company seven, Dong Xuan three.

The second is the contract for eight years.

The third is liquidated damages of 3000 million.

Dong Xuan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

She is from the same school as Yan Danchen and Zu Feng, so she has naturally heard about the contract that Fenghua Film and Television Company gave to the two senior brothers and sisters.

But he didn't expect them to be so lenient, but his contract was so harsh.

But she didn't dare to ask directly, "I...can I think about it?"

"Of course, think about it slowly, enough coffee."

Li Shengyao then got up, left the sofa, and came behind the desk.

At this moment, the assistant entered the office, and the security guard in the lobby on the first floor called, saying that someone from Hong Kong Island ATV was visiting. The assistant was not sure whether to let him go, so he asked Lee Shengyao for his opinion.

"Of course it's allowed. From now on, people from these TV stations will let them in."

People from ATV came, and people from the film and television industry on Hong Kong Island finally saw Fenghua Film and Television Company.

Li Shengyao could guess what they were doing with his toes, so naturally they came to buy dramas.

ATV's situation is very bad now, the company's shareholding is constantly changing, so that they are very tight on funds.

The consequence is that there is no money to shoot new dramas.

Since the filming of "I Have a Date with a Zombie", the ATV TV drama crew has completely stopped working.

If you don’t have a self-made drama, then buy it.

ATV was the first TV station on Hong Kong Island to buy "Han Zhu Ge Ge". It was said that there were 20.00 episodes in the year, and it got [-]% of the ratings, making ATV's ratings over TVB at the same time.

This gives ATV a taste of the sweetness.

At this time, the cost of producing general urban dramas on Hong Kong Island is between 30 and 40, and the cost of general costume dramas is between 50 and 60.

"Looking for Qin Ji" is 60 episodes.

The situation of ATV and TVB is similar, and their production cost is still higher than that of mainland China at this time.

Some major dramas cost more, such as "Fist of Fury", ATV's own financial report is an investment of 500 million.

There is also "Genesis", TVB itself said that it is an investment of [-] million yuan.

This kind of data can basically be cut in half, but even if it is 5000 million to make "Genesis", it is still a super big production.

It only took 20.00 episodes of "Han Zhu Ge Ge" to create a ratings of [-]%. ATV made a lot of money, but the situation became much worse later.

Facts have proved that "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was just a flash in the pan.

ATV also bought "Deep Love in the Rain" this year. It is said that the price has dropped to [-] episodes, and the ratings are only [-] points, which is overwhelmed by TVB.

This shows that buying dramas does not necessarily lead to high ratings.

But in any case, buying mainland dramas that are much cheaper is still more cost-effective than self-made dramas.
