Chapter 119 Painting Cake to satisfy hunger
Wang Cheng suddenly realized: "A popular novel writer like us is extremely popular in the eyes of readers, but it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of politicians. There must be something wrong with Xingshan City's praise of Zhang Duo so much."
Dai Anmin picked up the phone and dialed out and said, "Jianzi, please check the recent rumors about Meng Nanxing in Xingshan City, especially about this donation conference. Let me know as soon as you find it."
After Dai Anmin hung up the phone, he continued to discuss the adaptation of "Dragon Travels in the World" with Wang Cheng. Although Romance of the Later Three Kingdoms lost to Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils in terms of ratings, it can only be said that it is not a crime of war. Moreover, the profit is only three points lower than expected, and the expected target has been basically achieved.
The strength of Shengxin Film and Television Company has not been damaged and is quite profitable. Naturally, it will continue to shoot TV series. Because of the hot broadcast of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, the demand for martial arts dramas in the market has increased sharply, and major film and television companies have set up to shoot martial arts dramas.
Among the martial arts novels, Meng Nanxing's works are currently recommended in China. However, as the vice president and shareholder of Wanbang Film and Television, he naturally will not take out the film and television adaptation rights. Besides him, Wang Cheng's martial arts novels are the best.
Sacred Heart Film and Television Company used to rely on the support of military writers. It started with the main theme film and television dramas and had nothing to do with Wang Cheng. Although there are some frictions in the cooperation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is generally harmonious. In addition, although Wang Cheng is a little arrogant, he has absolutely nothing to say to his friends, which makes Dai Anmin come up with Wang Cheng's thoughts. Wang Cheng just thought about it for a moment and joined Shengxin Film and Television Company
The two talked for a while, and the phone on Dai Anmin's desk rang. After picking it up, he heard the opposite side say, " boss, I found it. Wei Jingming and Tao Kangcheng attended the donation meeting at the same time. It is said that the city wanted Zhang Duo to endorse the tourist attractions in Xingshan, which spread all yesterday afternoon. But this morning, it was revealed that the city intends to change the tourist attraction into a film and television city and prepare to build the first film and television city in the north.
Daianmin said "Oh" and said, "I know!" Then hung up the phone. Wang Cheng said impatiently, "Anmin, what's going on?"
"Oh, I heard that Xingshan City plans to change the scenic spot into a film and television city!" Dai Anmin said lightly.
Wang Cheng was surprised to say, "Build a film and television city? With Xingshan, an unknown prefecture-level city, do you have this strength?
Dai Anmin said, "I have been to Xingshan. The scenery is beautiful and pleasant. It is bordered by Xingqing Mountain in the north, Songjiang in the south, Lotus Lake in the east, and the vast Songjiang Plain in the middle, which is a good place to build a film and television city.
Wang Cheng said with a smile, "Anmin, are you moved? At present, several film and television cities in China are full of money! And most of them are distributed along the southeast coast, and there are not many film and television cities in the north!"
Dai Anmin laughed and said, "To be honest, I was moved early in the morning to see CCTV's four film and television bases making so much money, but on the one is that there is no suitable place, and on the other, the company's funds have never been abundant, so it has not been put into action, but now it is a rare opportunity!"
"In this case, we'd better contact Xingshan as soon as possible. Song Siwei of Wanbang is too cautious and will not make a decision too soon. We can just make a time difference!" Wang Cheng said.
Dai Anmin looked at Wang Cheng unexpectedly, "I didn't expect you to be quite accurate to Song Siwei!"
"Hmm, the three giants of Wanbang Film and Television, who in the film and television industry knows now! We have conflicts with them in terms of themes and schedules now, so I naturally need to know more about them.
Dai Anmin smiled with an admiration, "Yes, you impressed me. Let's contact Xingshan now and do it first."
Zhang Duo, who was on the road to Bincheng, did not know that someone saw the mystery of his trip to Xingshan, and wanted to grab the fruits of his labor, but rushed to Wanbang Film and Television with full of heart.
After arriving at the downstairs of the company, Zhang Duo parked his car and went straight to Song Siwei's office in the company. Along the way, the greetings of the employees were endless. Zhang Duo just smiled and nodded. After knocking on the door and coming in, Song Siwei saw that it was Zhang Duo and said with a smile, "A Duo, you came back so quickly. I thought you would stay at school for a longer time!"
Zhang Duo sat down on the sofa and said, "There are some changes, so I will come back first!"
Song Siwei's pupils shrank slightly and said with a solemn face, "I got the news from the newspaper that you returned to your hometown this time, but the limelight has come out. What else has happened that makes you rush back?
Zhang Duo took the tea handed over by Secretary Song Siwei, took a sip and said, "It's not so easy to show off. If you give it to people, you must ask for something. Xingshan's two parents and officials supported them so much, but I had to give them back.
Song Siwei sighed, "It's true. Is their relationship not good? Didn't you make any embarrassing requests?"
"They just want me to speak for Xingshan Scenic Area and help them do publicity!"
Song Siwei smiled and said, "That's right. You are from Xingshan. Now you are famous. It's simply good for you to come forward. It's not easy for them to come up with this idea!"
Zhang Duo smiled awkwardly and said, "I gave them an idea. Now, the endorsement has been put aside."
Song Siwei looked at Zhang Duo nervously, "What's your idea?" No wonder he is so nervous. Zhang Duo's ideas are so empty, and the antelope hangs his horns, and there is no trace at all. Some ideas are unspeakable, but some ideas are deaf and have to make Song Siwei worried.
"The scenic spot in Xingshan City has only been built for one phase, but the rest is far away. I suggest changing the rest of the scenic area into a film and television city and building the first Xingshan film and television city in the north.
"What's the reaction of Xingshan City?" Song Siwei asked.
Zhang Duo said, "They are still considering this plan. They have no idea about the positioning of the film and television city, how to prepare for it, and how to operate it in the future. Just let me help with the reference. Why don't I come back to you?"
When Song Siwei heard this, he only felt entangled and panicked. Well, the plan of the film and television city is too complicated. How to plan it, who will fund it, when it will be built, and how to operate it after it is completed? There are a lot of problems in it. If there are problems anywhere, it may lead to investment failure.
But it's not a bad idea. Song Siwei often studied the data reports of the domestic film and television drama market, and came to the conclusion that China's film and television drama market is very good. Although it is still a little sluggish now, the future prosperity can be expected. Maybe three or five years, maybe ten or eight years, there will always be a moment to soar to the sky.
And if Wanbang can build a film and television city and operate successfully, it will have a stable source of income, which is extremely beneficial to the company's financial stability.
The problem is that Zhang Duo has no specific plan except for the idea of changing the scenic spot into a film and television city. But it was like drawing a big cake and telling Tao Kangcheng and Song Siwei that this cake is delicious and very delicious. As long as you can make it to ensure that it is extremely delicious, there is no specific way to draw a cake for them to satisfy their hunger, which makes them excited, but it can't come true, and they are really entangled.
"Aduo, what do you think? Are you going to give them ideas, or do you want to participate in the construction of the film and television city? Song Siwei asked.
Zhang Duo said, "I hope all our countries can participate!"
Song Siwei thought for a long time and finally said, "Actually, I have this idea, but I think about it carefully, but it's a little inappropriate! Wanbang is now shooting "The Bright Sword" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" at the same time, and "Xiao Li Fei Dao" is also in preparation, and the "The Return of the Condor Heroes" behind you are also going to be filmed on TV. Although several dramas have time difference, they are still too densely arranged. It puts some pressure on the company's capital chain. Moreover, the investment of a film and television city is more than one billion or even billion, and we Wanbang Film and Television don't have that family background!"
Zhang Duo thought about it, but it was the same. He suddenly found that an idea he inadvertently put up was not only to paint cakes for Tao Kangcheng and Song Siwei, but also for himself to paint cakes to satisfy his hunger, which made him feel more hungry!
Seeing that there was nothing to discuss, Zhang Duo asked Song Siwei to help collect information so that he could write a plan for Xingshan Film and Television City. Song Siwei naturally agreed.
After Wanbang Film and Television, Zhang Duo drove directly to Wansheng Book Distribution Company. When he wanted to return to Bincheng, he communicated with Jiang Xiancheng. Jiang Xiancheng told him that the first volume of The Return of the Condor Heroes had been printed, and the book number of Bright Sword had also been applied for. Now he is waiting to be printed. As long as 100,000 copies are printed first, Wansheng books can be opened at any time!
Zhang Duo came to Wansheng Book to discuss the opening with Jiang Xiancheng. After entering the general manager's office, Jiang Xiancheng hurriedly got up to greet him and said with a smile, "Aduo, you have made a lot of limelight this time! I'm afraid that none of the writers in 20 years have been as elegant as you when they returned home!"
Zhang Duo said modestly, "It's just the meeting. How can it be so exaggerated?"
Jiang Xiancheng was surprised and said, "The secretary and mayor of a prefecture-level city attended the opening ceremony of a middle school at the same time. What a high standard! A well-sighted person knows at a glance that it's because of you.
Listening to Jiang Xiancheng's praise, Zhang Duo did not want to continue the discussion on this topic, but said, "Uncle Jiang, this issue will no longer be discussed. I want to know how many distribution channels and how many books can be sold if our book distribution company opens?
Hearing Zhang Duo's question, Jiang Xiancheng hesitated and finally sighed, "The current situation is not optimistic. Because of Songjiang People's Publishing House, Xinhua Bookstore does not agree to cooperate with us at all, and other domestic book wholesale companies have no information to give feedback. I'm afraid that after the opening, there will be no place for our books. If you put it on the shelves and sell it, not to mention losing face, it's even a problem to survive?
Zhang Duo heard this and couldn't help but say, "Is it so serious?" He has always regarded Songjiang People's Publishing House as very powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
In fact, the strength of Songjiang People's Publishing House can only be regarded as average, but the Chinese People's Publishing House it relies on is a giant. In addition, those brother branches and any domestic book wholesale company dare not underestimate the ban of Songjiang People's Publishing House. If you want to earn money for a single book of The Return of the Condor Heroes, but offend the "Chinese People" department in the publishing market, anyone should consider it carefully!
