Chapter 135 was a big hit as soon as it was released
Liu Yifei's resentment disappeared, and she happily sent a smiley face:
"It's a deal then. You must come to visit the set then╰(*°▽°*)╯!"
After chatting for a while, Liu Yifei's fair and smiling face became much brighter.
There was a sound at the door, and I saw my mother coming back with some daily necessities.
She quietly put away her phone, her heart full of anticipation and longing for the upcoming trip to Hong Kong.
Seeing that there was still some time before boarding the plane, Du Sheng contacted Liu Tao and Fan Bingbing again.
These two girls are filming.
The former is in Modu. According to the elite and meticulous shooting method of the director of "The Last Empress", this drama will take at least half a year to shoot.
Even though Liu Tao is only the third female role, she plays a large part in the plot line. It is impossible for the crew to shoot a certain character's part first. Including the waiting time, it will take at least one or two months.
So she would chat with Du Sheng only when she had time, and there was a hint of resentment in her words.
As for Fan Bingbing, she got the second female lead in the hit movie "Cell Phone" as she wished.
As for the female lead, she will be played by Feng Kuazi’s wife, so there is no need to consider her at all.
Although she was the second female lead, there were also popular actresses such as Zhou Xun, Zhao Mou, Xu Jinglei, and Li Bingbing competing openly and secretly.
If Wang Jinhua had not used this condition as compensation and reached an agreement with Wang Da and Wang Xiao on some principled issues, it is estimated that the treasure would not have fallen into Fan Bingbing's hands.
"When will you come back? I'll take some time to repay you."
Therefore, there was some joy in Fan Bingbing's words.
If Du Sheng hadn't mentioned it, she might not have been able to handle it so easily.
At the very least, she should spend as much time and effort accompanying Wang Zhonglei as Li Bingbing did.
"Are you playing a female editor in the play?"
Du Sheng naturally wanted the woman to repay him well, and said with a smile:
"Remember to wear stockings and high heels to match the era background. I will help you with your acting skills and guarantee that they will improve by 30%."
Fan Bingbing didn't know what she was thinking of. Her pretty face looked charming as she chuckled and said:
"Okay, bring a gantry, I want to learn from Lin Daiyu to pull out a weeping willow tree, hehe!"
Du Sheng's mouth twitched. Not wanting to be dragged into a ditch by her, he changed the subject:
"Last time you said that Sister Hua and the two kings were already in harmony, but they just needed an opportunity?"
Talking about business, Fan Bingbing also became serious and said:
“At the last annual meeting, Sister Hua and the two Wangs almost broke down in their talks. In the end, it was Ye Jing from the Beijing Circle who stepped in and suppressed the collapse of the circle.
But I think Sister Hua will not sit still and wait for death. She is deliberately gathering us old ministers and should be secretly contacting other…"
When Du Sheng heard that Wang Jinhua was secretly looking for a new employer, he suddenly thought of Zhongyao Pictures.
He knows that he is not yet capable of being a banker, but he can still be a troublemaker.
Huayi’s dominance is not conducive to the development of the film and television industry, nor is it conducive to the growth of his studio.
If you want to rise quickly, it is best to fish in troubled waters.
Zhongyao Pictures has the resources and foundation, but lacks a framework. Its cooperation with Wang Jinhua will definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages in the early stages.
If there is a chance, I can help them get in touch. Even if it doesn't work, it can at least ruin someone's mood.
Thinking of someone, Du Sheng couldn't help but ask:
"Has Wang Zhonglei behaved in any unusual way recently?"
When this person was mentioned, Fan Bingbing's tone changed noticeably, and he laughed:
"He is surrounded by a dozen female celebrities. I wonder how happy he is."
Du Sheng understood as soon as he heard it.
In order to obtain resources, the artists under Wang Jinhua turned to the two Wangs, and even resorted to all kinds of means to curry favor with Wang Zhonglei.
Although Wang Zhonglei wanted to teach Fan Bingbing a lesson, he was too busy enjoying his job to care about someone who was lukewarm about him.
Du Sheng guessed that there might be another reason related to Wang Jinhua.
As long as this situation continues, it will be a good opportunity for me to break into the company and I will naturally not interfere.
After chatting for a while, he put away his phone and boarded the plane for the return flight.
Three hours later, it was already late at night when we returned to Zhejiang Province.
Wang Yaoyang personally drove the car rented by the studio to pick him up. When he saw Du Sheng, he winked:
"Brother Sheng, that's great. When did you kidnap this beautiful agent?
I heard she's from a wealthy family. When can you introduce one to me?"
He has signed up to 'Miracle Studio', so he is naturally referring to Ye Jingzhi.
When I met Ye Jingzhi at the rental office, I was really shocked by her relaxed and elegant temperament.
It's a bit self-degrading.
Du Sheng got in the car, glanced at Wang Yaoyang, who had greasy hair and untidy clothes, and said casually:
"There are girls, but judging by your appearance and outfit, how can I tell..."
Wang Yaoyang knew that the other party had no good words to say, but he still couldn't help but said:
"How to say?"
"You are very ornamental. It would be more appropriate for you to stay in the zoo. Girls will also like to watch you."
Wang Yaoyang curled his lips, drove onto the airport highway, and changed the subject:
"The ratings of 'Dragon Goddess' broke 5.5 yesterday. You are very popular in Guangzhou, you know."
Du Sheng didn't feel anything, perhaps because he was used to being besieged by the media in Hong Kong. He said:
"for example?"
"Two crews called me recently, and I tried to find out. Your price has risen to 10,000 per episode."
Wang Yaoyang was a little excited and said:
"There is also a clothing brand that wants you to be its spokesperson, offering 3 for three years, but Manager Ye didn't agree..."
This is actually what Du Sheng meant. In addition to not having much time, the sooner you accept advertising endorsements, the sooner you lose money.
After all, it is still in its rising stage, and it is not appropriate to tie it up for too long.
What’s more, some brands won’t allow you to endorse similar products, which is a complete hindrance.
Even if you are short of money, you can wait for the drama in which you play the leading role to be released in the future. By then, the endorsement fee may double.
Speaking of money, Du Sheng suddenly remembered something and asked casually:
"I asked you to keep an eye out for second-hand gold jewelry processing shops before. Have you found a channel?"
"Is your adoptive father in a hurry to leave?"
Wang Yaoyang certainly would not forget what he had been told, and said:
"I have asked around in two nearby cities, and the prices offered by gold jewelry recycling and processing shops are all relatively low, at most 8%..."
He knew that Du Sheng's adoptive father had always been interested in collecting antiques and treasures, and thought that this was a way to cash in, so he didn't ask too many questions and just told him everything he had learned.
Du Sheng nodded slightly, asked a few more questions, and wrote down the address.
Anyway, it's something I didn't pay for, so it's not a pity to sell it.
Except for the jewelry and diamonds that are difficult to sell, if all the other things are converted into cash (including cash), the total amount should be around 80.
"Dragon Goddess" should receive a payment soon, probably several hundred thousand.
In Hong Kong, not counting the 40 bets placed through official channels (for the finals), after asking Zhang Baizhi for 50 in principal, he won three games in succession and earned a total of 120 million.
With all these funds together, we have already got half of the money to invest in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". It all depends on how to negotiate next.
However, I will have to contact Ye Jingzhi tomorrow to find out the details.
The next day, at the Star Times office building.
"Brother Sheng, this is our studio. Manager Ye has a good eye!"
Wang Yaoyang took Du Sheng to the 6th floor and swiped his card to enter one of the offices.
“Very nice, very comfortable to stay.”
The overall area is about a hundred square meters, with a modern and simple style.
The exterior adopts a glass curtain wall design, and sunlight shines into the interior through the glass, making the entire space bright and transparent.
Entering the room, a spacious and bright hall comes into view. The floor is covered with soft carpet, which is soft and comfortable to step on.
There are several comfortable sofas and coffee tables in the center of the hall, which are convenient for work and for visitors to rest and communicate.
Since it was not in the city center, the rent was not expensive, so Ye Jingzhi rented it for a year.
"I'm back. There are a few things I want to discuss."
Ye Jingzhi heard the noise outside and looked over with a smile.
Du Sheng gave Wang Yaoyang a few instructions and asked him to prepare some formalities before entering the office.
I have to say, Ye Jingzhi is dressed very pleasingly today.
She has a delicate and beautiful appearance, with her black hair tied into a bun and wearing a noble and decent navy blue OL suit, which makes her look dignified and elegant.
"First of all, regarding the copyright of 'Dragon Goddess', I discussed this with producer Li Leda yesterday..."
Ye Jingzhi took out a document and placed it in front of Du Sheng:
"According to feedback from Pearl River TV, the finale of this drama should be able to exceed 6, and it is currently being rebroadcast in the daytime.
Southern Television, Guangzhou Satellite TV, Guangxi Satellite TV, Hainan Satellite TV, etc. are all in contact to purchase the copyright..."
Those who understand will understand the value of breaking 6!
"Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", which Zhang Da Huzi spent a lot of money to polish, only had a peak viewership of 5.78.
The cost of each episode is about 85 yuan, and it is sold to TV stations at 9 yuan per episode. With 40 episodes, dozens of TV stations across the country, and audio-visual and overseas copyrights, it is not difficult to calculate how much money the show can make.
Zhang Zhizong proudly admitted some time ago that each of his three "golden brands" could earn at least tens of millions of yuan, with the profit generally being around 30%.
This has also led major mainland production companies to turn 'remaking classic martial arts dramas' into a golden rule for making money.
"Dragon Goddess" had a smaller investment, and although it could not promote the copyright and ask for a high price like Zhang Zhizong, it could not resist the temptation of a small production with high ratings.
According to Ye Jingzhi, more than ten TV stations have been in contact.
Zhongyao Films has also taken a fancy to its audio and video copyright and is preparing to produce it into a disc for national distribution.
"How much is the share now?"
Du Sheng calculated in his mind that according to the current popularity of "Dragon Goddess", it would not be difficult to make a 3% profit.
He invested 2.5% of the money in this drama, so a conservative estimate is that he would make one or two million in total.
"We are still settling accounts with Zhonglu Films. After taking into account the cost recovery, we should have 60 this month..."
Ye Jingzhi handled the matter impartially and spoke with great familiarity, and handed over a bill.
To be honest, she admired Du Sheng's investment vision from the bottom of her heart.
Judging from the overall situation of the current domestic TV drama market, with nearly 30% odds and 80% overspending, one cannot help but admit that this is a "hot commodity" that is easy to make but difficult to obtain.
Du Sheng not only risked his entire fortune to invest, but also invested in such a small drama with no future.
The key is that it became a hit as soon as it was released.
Given the current situation, it is more than enough to double the money.
This gave her some ideas.
Because the other party is preparing to invest in another drama, and it is likely to be a starring + martial arts director combination...
