Huayu: This celebrity doesn't follow the rules.

Chapter 67 New Production Team Assembled

Bai Lu's eyes lit up instantly: "Really?! What should I do now?"
"Boil water and make tea."

"."

While Bai Lu was making tea with a sullen face, the office door was pushed open again.

Lin Jianjun, with a beer belly, strolled in, hands in his pockets, dressed in a suit and tie, his watch gleaming, his eyes sweeping around the office.

"Not bad, kid. You've set up the company quite well."

"Xiao Bai," Jiang Ye said without looking up, "pour tea for Producer Lin."

Lin Jianjun then noticed the egret boiling water nearby. He nodded in greeting, cursing inwardly.

That brat knows how to enjoy life; he picked a good secretary.

She can sing and earn money outside, and she can also brew tea and serve guests at home...

“Producer Lin is a senior figure in the film department of Guangxian Media,” Jiang Ye suddenly lowered his voice and said to Bai Lu, “He is much better than our small, run-down company.”

"Xiao Bai, you'd better be polite, we can't afford to offend you."

Bai Lu immediately understood, flashed Lin Jianjun a fake smile with eight teeth, and deliberately made a clinking sound when pouring tea.

Lin Jianjun's lips twitched. This bastard.

So what if she didn't agree to come to his company?
They even said, "What's the difference between Guangxian Media and Jiangying Media? Doesn't it matter where you work?"

How can these be the same?

I haven't even been calling him "uncle" lately...

He even went to complain to his mother, which has caused him a lot of headaches lately.

His older sister, who is also Jiang Ye's mother, is Lin Huahua.

These past few days, he's been talking about his childhood diaper-wetting antics in the family group chat every day, making him lose all face.

You can't get angry with his sister either; if you're not nice to her, she'll cry and go to his dad to complain.

At that point, my father and mother might come over and give me a double beating.

The status of men in Sichuan and Chongqing is truly tragic...

Ignoring his nephew's sarcastic remarks, he went straight to the point: "You said on the phone that the new drama had an investment of 100 million? Where did that investment come from?"

"A new drama with 30 episodes? Each episode costs 330 million to produce. Although it's not a big production, it's still above average in the industry! Are you confident?"

What if we lose money?

“I don’t need my own money.” Jiang Ye didn’t look at him. “President Lin, you can just focus on being your producer and don’t worry about anything else.”

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Jianjun finally managed to squeeze out, "This time... could you give me some wages?"

Jiang Ye immediately turned to Bai Lu: "Xiao Bai, you see, outsiders are just different. All they talk about is money."

He shook his head in anguish, "How can you be like one of our own? You're the first person I think of when something good happens, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

Bai Lu nodded vigorously and gave Lin Jianjun a disdainful look.

Lin Jianjun: "."

That little bastard looks exactly like his mother.

He had the same attitude when his sister tricked him into becoming free labor.

Lin Jianjun found a seat, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "Guangxian can invest 10 million in your new drama and take a 1000% share."

"This is only because of the success of your 'Princess Promotion Diary' and because of my old face."

He put down his teacup and tapped his fingers on the desk: "The company's strategic focus is now on the film market, and investment in TV dramas has tightened. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be scheduled for the meeting."

Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow, but before he could speak, Lin Jianjun continued, "I also sounded out Tencent."

“Your last show did so well on their platform, if you sign an exclusive online streaming rights deal for this one, they’ll definitely invest in it.” “However…” Lin Jianjun glanced at Jiang Ye, “the amount won’t be too large. You’ve only filmed one show, you can’t support a big production yet, and the market recognition isn’t high enough.”

Jiang Ye's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to Bai Lu and said, "Xiao Bai! Why aren't you refilling my uncle's tea? Uncle, you're sitting on the sofa; this chair is too hard and uncomfortable."

Lin Jianjun: "."

“Uncle,” Jiang Ye smiled innocently, “Actually, I don’t need them to invest a lot of money. All I need is for the names of Enlight Media and Tencent to be displayed at the beginning of the film, and the words ‘co-production’ to be enough.”

……

When talking about wealthy women in the entertainment industry, Jing Tian is always one of the names that comes to mind.

Countless reborn individuals rushed to collect gold coins.

People need money too...

Jiang Ye didn't mean that; he genuinely intended to make Jing Tian famous!
Winning over Jing Tian basically means that the Wanda connection has been established.

For him to make movies in the future, theatrical distribution channels will be very important.

In the following days, Jiang Ye and Lin Jianjun immersed themselves in the preparation of "Si Teng", working non-stop.

Jiang Ye was primarily responsible for the content.

They extracted the core ideas, meticulously polished the script for the first few episodes word by word with Wei Yu, and stayed up several nights in a row to solidify the framework of the business plan.

From IP highlights to market analysis and budget breakdown, every page exudes confidence that "things can be done."

Lin Jianjun was running between the two places.

On one hand, they helped Jiang Ye submit the filing materials for "Si Teng" to the State Administration of Radio and Television, verifying the main creators' information and plot synopsis to ensure that the process went smoothly.

Clutching Jiang Ye's newly completed business plan, he rushed to Guangxian and Tencent, using his decades-long connections in the industry to negotiate investment intentions for his nephew.

For large companies like Lightspeed China Partners and Tencent, co-producing and naming their products is not a new business.

A 10% share doesn't require much investment, and there's almost no risk for them.

If "Sito" becomes a hit, I can get a share of the profits by being credited, and also gain a reputation for having a keen eye for talent.

Even if the broadcast results are mediocre, this investment can be considered as paying for industry connections, so it's a win-win situation.

But all of this is predicated on the fact that the people running the project must have something of value that makes them willing to bet on it.

Ironically, this is precisely the kind of value that Jiang Ye has no shortage of right now.

His recently concluded drama, "Princess Promotion," garnered a staggering 28 billion views on its premiere episode.

If you put this data into Tencent Video's 2014 drama library, it would firmly hold the top spot, whether it's a TV series broadcast on satellite channels or a web series.

Tencent has made a fortune from this show...

The name Jiang Ye is now taboo within Tencent...

So Lin Jianjun's trips went much more smoothly than expected.

Once all these arrangements were finalized, Jiang Ye officially began taking action...

His first stop was his own school, Beijing Film Academy!
The Beijing Film Academy, a prestigious institution in China's film and television industry, possesses a profound heritage that is difficult for outsiders to imagine.

It all depends on whether you know how to use it!
Acting Department Faculty Office
When Jiang Ye pushed open the door, Lin Jidong was looking at video clips of students' performances on his computer screen, typing comments on the keyboard.

Hearing the noise, she looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, before she revealed a teasing smile: "Oh, isn't this our Director Jiang? The celebration banquet for 'Princess Promotion' is over? What brings you to our acting department today?"

Jiang Ye grinned and leaned over, casually placing a hot Americano on Lin Jidong's desk: "Teacher Lin, what are you saying? Can't I just come to see you for no reason?"

Lin Jidong picked up his coffee, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Don't give me that. So, tell me, which of my students have you set your sights on this time?"

“Look at what you’re saying,” Jiang Ye pulled out a chair and sat down. “I’m preparing for a new drama and wanted to ask Teacher Lin to recommend some good talents.”

Lin Jidong chuckled: "If you, Director Jiang, need people now, shouldn't actors be scrambling to get to you?"
