The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 122
Fang Yihua is here, will the Wanwan people be far behind?
"Winter Sonata" was Wanwan's second highest-rated TV series in 03, and Li Shengyao believed that Wanwan's TV people would come over soon.

It was on the third day that Fang Yihua came to Beijing that Li Shengyao met his old acquaintance, namely Chai Zhiping.

Sister Chai is seven or eight years younger than when she met last time.

The skin that was originally loose was now treated with Botox and became much tighter.

I don't know what whitening technique was used, but it is also much whiter.

When Sister Chai entered the company, the young people could barely move their eyes.

These guys are on fire and need to be defeated.

"Director Li, we meet again, you are really admirable."

Chai Zhiping never expected that "Winter Sonata" would become a hit in the island country. When she heard the news, she rushed to the mainland immediately without saying a word.

Wanwan is very superstitious about island countries now, and they will definitely chase after what is popular in island countries.

After buying "Winter Sonata", the press release wrote ""Winter Sonata" is popular in the island country", there must be many crooked people chasing the drama.

This time she came to buy dramas, and she would definitely be able to make money. What she was worried about now was whether Li Shengyao would take the opportunity to increase the price.

I heard that both the island countries and the peninsula have raised prices, but the new Matai has not.

It seems that Li Shengyao still took into account the friendship of his compatriots.

"Miss Chai, I haven't seen you for several months, but you are still so good at talking."

"Meteor Garden" was broadcast at the end of April. Although it was banned by TV stations in the mainland, it can still be watched on computers in Internet cafes. The boys on the street are in groups of four.

F4 is hot in Asia.

Now those four people who can't even read music scores are holding concerts, advertising endorsements, or carrying out various commercial activities all day long, with footprints all over Southeast Asia, both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places.

There is no doubt that Chai Zhiping's net worth has doubled.

This is all making money, so the price of buying dramas will naturally have to keep up.

The two exchanged some pleasantries, and then Chai Zhiping expressed her intention to come, she wanted to buy the right to broadcast "Winter Sonata" in the Wanwan area.

"Director Li, we are all a family, so don't raise the price. The recent economic downturn in Wanwan has made life difficult for everyone."

Li Shengyao chuckled, "Miss Chai, it's difficult for me too. The investment in this drama is 1000 million yuan, and the broadcast rights in the mainland are not enough to pay back. If you want to see my difficulties, let's say I sold it to a mainland TV station for 12 yuan. In one episode, Wanwan’s standard of living is much higher than that of the mainland, so it’s impossible to be cheaper than the mainland.”

Chai Zhiping rolled his eyes, "What about Po Village, Po Village is richer than Wan Wan, aren't they [-] episodes?"

"There are only a few people in Po Village, and they don't know if the advertising fee is enough to cover their costs. If you compare Po Village and Wanwan's economic aggregate, Wanwan will kill Po Village in seconds."

Chai Zhiping couldn't help smiling wryly when he heard the words, "Director Li, there are too many Wanwan TV stations, and the ratings are very scattered. It really can't be too expensive, otherwise we can't afford it."

"Not expensive, just like Gusu Satellite TV, how about 12 episodes?"

12 episodes, this price is within the acceptable range of Chai Zhiping.

"11, Director Li. When I go back, I'll arrange a few media outlets to say good things. It will definitely make you face, and I can even arrange for you to win an award."

Li Shengyao was taken aback, "Golden Bell Award?"

"Yes, the Golden Bell Award."

Li Shengyao came back to his senses and looked over with dissatisfaction, "Miss Chai, the Golden Bell Award only recognizes TV dramas produced in the Wanwan area. What award can I get? Don't fool me."

"Director Li, this matter is easy to handle. If you give me a script, we will shoot it. Isn't that the same as participating in the production of a TV series?"

This dead woman must have heard about the cooperation between Lee Sheng Yew and the three David TVs.

Li Shengyao curled his lips and shook his head, "Forget it, I'm not interested, Miss Chai, 12, nothing less."

Seeing this, Chai Zhiping hated her teeth. She had bought three dramas, and each time the price was marked by Li Shengyao. She couldn't come up with a penny.

"Director Li, go ahead, I really admire you for being so persistent every time."

Li Shengyao smiled, and then asked his assistant to prepare the contract.

Soon after, the two parties signed a contract, and Chai Zhiping bought "Winter Sonata" for 12 an episode, and paid within three days.

Chai Zhiping took over the contract and looked carefully again. She read it and said, "Director Li, can you really not give us your script? Why can't we cooperate like those TV stations?"

"Wanwan actors are more fashionable and international, isn't it more suitable for your drama?"

Li Shengyao shook his head, "No, the acting skills of your actors are too bad, they are not suitable for idol dramas."

He is just talking nonsense, the main reason is that he doesn't trust Wan Wan.

Chai Zhiping is a well-known liar. There is a high probability that other people are liars. Nine out of ten people are liars.

More than ten years later, this island was called slag cheating rice by mainland netizens.

Li Shengyao didn't want to cooperate with them, at most it was a business relationship, there was no need to make a TV series together.

Chai Zhiping has long been used to Li Shengyao's rejection, so he didn't take it seriously, and then said: "F4 is very popular now, Director Li, do you want them to act in your idol drama?"

Li Shengyao paused, thought for a while, and then said, "Let Zhou Yumin come, I can think about it."

Among the four people in F4, Zhou Yumin is the one who is really suitable to be the number one male in idol dramas.

Yan Chengxu is very handsome, but his acting skills are too bad.

After he played Daoming Temple, he exploded, and even the leader Feifei personally received him, which shows how popular he was at that time.

But what's the use, Hong Kong Island invited him to make movies, Island Country asked him to make TV series, and Wanwan gave him the best film and television resources, and there was no splash.

This person really lives by his face and figure.

Before Li Shengyao crossed over, he was at the age of five, and he was still acting in idol dramas, and he was still very stiff.

He earns so much money, does he really not want to buy a copy of "Actor's Self-cultivation"?

When Zhou Yumin was young, he had some spirituality and could see some acting skills.

"God of War" and "Ruffian Hero" are very handsome.

As for the other two people, that is, the qualifications of supporting roles, they can't play the leading role in idol dramas, they are too ugly.

Chai Zhiping is planning to recommend Zhu Xiaotian and Wu Jianhao. After all, Zhou Yumin and Yan Chengxu are so outstanding. The company has already packed their schedules, and the TV series in two years' time have been arranged.

But Wu Jianhao and Zhu Xiaotian had more than two times.

People in the Wanwan circle feel that these two are not suitable for acting in idol dramas, they are too ugly.

But she didn't expect Li Shengyao to say Zhou Yumin directly. She realized that Li Shengyao was still the ghostly person in her impression.

But she still wanted to fight for it.

"Director Li, Zhou Yumin's Mandarin is not very good. He is learning Mandarin. Wu Jianhao, he is from a beautiful country. He has a strong sense of fashion and is good at dancing."

"Zhu Xiaotian is not bad either, with fluttering long hair. If I were ten years younger, I would like this."

Li Shengyao looked at Chai Zhiping as if he was mentally retarded, "Miss Chai, don't fool yourself."

Chai Zhiping rolled his eyes at Li Shengyao, stood up angrily, "I'm leaving."

"Wait, let's have a meal together, my treat."

He is very generous to those who buy dramas, as long as they come to buy dramas, everyone is brothers and sisters.
