Chapter 468 Chapter 206 The Eyes Are Shining, Shining with Affection
Golden Eagle Building, HUNAN TV office building.
Early in the morning, Tan Dezhang came to the stage, and roughly dealt with the things accumulated in the past few days. Seeing that it was 9:20, he got up, tidied his clothes, and then stepped out. The head of the office knocked on the door, and heard a "come in" from inside, then pushed the door open and went in.
Wei Ming was wiping his desk with a small towel. When he looked up, he saw that Tan Dezhang was coming. He put down the towel, raised his hand to brush his short hair, and said with a smile, "Are you back?"
Tan Dezhang went over and sat down opposite him, with an excited expression on his face, "I'm back."
Wei Ming asked again: "It is said that you have brought the film back?"
Tan Dezhang smiled, nodded, and said, "Yes, after signing the contract, I brought it back directly."
Wei Ming smiled and nodded, like Maitreya Buddha, paused for a moment, and said: "You young people still have the courage to do things! Next, we will rely on you, especially you, to improve the quality of our programs!"
Tan Dezhang smiled and responded freely, "That can't be separated from your guidance! Without your support, I don't have the confidence."
Wei Ming laughed out loud, and nodded in satisfaction.
Tan Dezhang also smiled.
Although everyone knows that this is nonsense, this kind of nonsense must be said frequently and every day, because in this repeated nonsense, there are mutual positions and cognitions. It is a way to play a role and find out the other party's bottom line.
Very nutritious, but very useful.
After a while, Wei Ming picked up the small towel again, and slowly wiped the small piece of tabletop in front of him. The high-grade mahogany tabletop was wiped spotless and shining.
While wiping, he said: "I can't do it anymore. I'm old, so I can still beat the side drums for you. This is called, get on the horse and give you a ride, aha? Hehe... By the way, this... Dezhang , 15 million, but it’s really not cheap! Don’t talk about our station, it’s a total of dozens of TV stations across the country, including Huaxia TV, which is considered to be a record. What do you think about it?”
After a pause, he put down the small towel, and said, "I didn't question your decision, and you know that, although you have the right to make decisions about TV dramas, but such a large amount is involved, I guess next time At the director's office meeting, there will definitely be some opinions, and at that time, even if I want to support your decision, I have to say something, don't I?"
Tan Dezhang smiled when he heard the words, and replied without hesitation: "The 15 million yuan has been thrown in. In the short term, the compensation is certain."
What he said seemed a bit unsurprising, but Wei Ming didn't even change his expression when he heard the words. He still looked at him with a faint smile, and even nodded slightly, as if his eyebrows In my heart, I always look like "I appreciate every word of yours".
At this time, Tan Dezhang said again: "However, the reason for giving this price is mainly because we have no time to entangle. Before I brought people over there, five TV stations have been invited over there. You know the five TV stations. They have always been stronger than us, even if the price is the same, whoever changes them will be more willing to choose them to cooperate, so at this time, I have to cut the mess quickly and get it first."
Wei Ming smiled, nodded slightly, and did not speak.
Tan Dezhang continued: "Besides, our station has been quiet for many years. The situation in these years has always been running down, so even our advertisements are not as valuable as others. To change all this, we must take a dose Strong medicine. This drama may lose money, even if it has a high ratings in the first broadcast, it will still lose money in the second round, and the advertising price will increase, but as long as the ratings increase, let Viewers across the country know that our station can often have some good-looking TV dramas, let advertisers know that our station’s ratings are very high, and we have good things, then the price will naturally rise slowly in the future! Therefore, It is certain that we will lose a little in the short term, but in the long run, we can still make money.”
When Tan Dezhang mentioned without hesitation that "these years have been running down", Wei Ming's eyebrows blinked for a moment, but his smile was the same as usual. When Tan Dezhang finished speaking, he thought for a while and nodded. He asked with a smile: "What is this called... "Legend of the New White Snake"? In your opinion, it is this strong medicine?"
This time, Tan Dezhang hesitated for a moment, but finally, he nodded.
Then, he said: "It hasn't been aired yet, to tell you the truth, I don't know what kind of performance this drama can get, but there are three points that prompted me to make this decision."
Wei Ming's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said with a smile, "Oh? Let's hear it? 15 million, each of your three points is worth five million, which is very valuable!"
Tan Dezhang could understand the meaning of the other party, and also understood that the old fox who had been in the director's seat for more than ten years was threatening him faintly, but he said without fear: "First, I personally saw this play. , Forty episodes, one episode did not fall, and I saw it from the beginning to the end. After watching it, I feel that whether it is from the story, from the character creation, or from the particularly delicate and beautiful pictures, and its allegedly It cost a lot of money, and the special effects have reached the current international first-class level, which are far superior to those of our domestic TV dramas in recent years, and I even think that it is more than one level higher!"
"I was afraid that I was inexperienced, unprofessional, and of low standard, so I seriously asked the people in the purchase department, and their opinions were similar to mine. Although some people made some opinions, for example, some people thought that the middle The arias that were inserted were very redundant and would be a little disrupted, or they would feel like they called out a play. For example, some people think that an hour of an episode is really too long. But as far as the overall TV series is concerned The quality, everyone thinks, is at least one level higher than the current domestic TV dramas!"
Hearing this, Wei Ming couldn't help interrupting him, and asked with a smile: "That young man is said to be studying in film school, I know this, and I also know that he is very good at writing and singing songs, but, The TV series he made are also much better than others?"
Tan Dezhang nodded with great certainty, "It's really a lot smarter."
Wei Ming narrowed his eyes, smiled, nodded and said: "This is really a miracle, it seems that there are really geniuses in this world!" After a pause, he waved his hand, " I'm just asking casually! Even if I have the five million, what about the remaining ten million?"
Tan Dezhang smiled, and said directly: "The second five million, this drama is about the story of the White Snake."
Wei Ming originally thought that he would have a long speech, at least he would have to elaborate and introduce it as he did just now, but he didn't expect that the second point was so simple. But after thinking about it carefully, he nodded.
That's right, this is the story of The Legend of the White Snake.
Handed down from generation to generation in China, there are many popular and widely circulated folk tales, the most famous of which are probably the Seven Fairies, Meng Jiangnu, The Legend of the White Snake, and Liang Zhu. Since this kind of story is widely known, it proves that it has a strong audience base. The story itself has also been tested for hundreds of thousands of years, and it has been proved that it is liked by the Chinese people.
Therefore, the remake of the story of The Legend of the White Snake is only about the background of the story. Compared with other TV drama stories, it already has a great advantage.
So, after a while, Wei Ming smiled and said: "Yes, Legend of the White Snake, I remember that in actual years, the White Snake filmed by Huaxia TV was very popular."
Tan Dezhang nodded with a smile when he heard the words, and said, "To tell you the truth, because I knew that Li Qian was filming the story of The Legend of the White Snake, so before I went to Shuntian Mansion, I specially asked someone to find that version of "The Legend of the White Snake" , those of us who went together, first watched that old film. At that time, after more than ten or twenty years, we still thought it was quite good, but when we finished watching Li Qian’s film " "Legend of the New White Snake", hehe, the few of us agree that the old version can be forgotten."
Wei Ming's expression changed when he heard the words, "Oh? So outstanding?"
Tan Dezhang nodded with a smile, "If you don't believe it, I can let someone show it to you later."
Wei Ming thought for a while, smiled and waved his hands, "I won't watch it. I'll watch it for a long time, and my eyes won't be able to bear it. I'll watch it at home when it airs on our TV station."
Tan Dezhang smiled when he heard the words, and continued after a while: "The third five million is because the director of this show is called Li Qian."
Wei Ming was puzzled when he heard the words.
Tan Dezhang explained with a smile: "I'm not talking about the quality of the film he made, just talking about him himself. He is so famous, and he is one of the most popular people in our country in recent years. First, his idol-like appearance, powerful talent, coupled with his endless scandals, and his usual low-key, all make him one of the most concerned figures in domestic entertainment news. Four-year-old, up to thirty or forty years old, one of the most concerned stars of these people."
"So, the mere fact that this TV series is Li Qian's directorial debut is enough to attract countless attention to this drama. Regardless of whether the reputation of this drama is good or bad, first of all, this attention is Yes, some people call this eyeball economy, I think it makes sense, everyone has to pay attention to you, whether you are good or bad, and people are discussing it, can we talk about the possibility of the next step.”
"Besides, I think what our stage lacks the most right now is this kind of attention. We can't continue to keep silent, we need to create a movement, first attract everyone's attention! We have attracted everyone's attention strength, and then consider using follow-up wonderful programs and wonderful TV dramas to keep these attracted people!"
This statement made Wei Ming nod frequently, and when Tan Dezhang finished speaking, he laughed and said: "Well said, it doesn't matter whether his word of mouth is good or bad after he comes out, let everyone notice it before we talk! Dezhang , I support your point of view!"
After a pause, he said with a serious face again: "In the past six months, there have been all kinds of gossip in the station, and I know everything about it! Now I talk to everyone, and every time I speak, I will emphasize it again and again. The TV station must change now, and I support the change! The tide of society is rolling forward, so many brother TV stations, everyone is trying their best to make good programs, we can't be willing to be inferior to others!"
Tan Dezhang smiled when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Yes, it is your support, encouragement and affirmation that give us people the motivation to continue doing it!"
Wei Ming nodded with a smile, raised his hand to stroke his sparse hair, paused, and said, "Well, I think your idea is feasible. Your 15 million yuan has been spent, although we don't have it yet. We know the result, but since we want to change, of course we have to take the first step, if we don’t try, how will we know it won’t work? So, don’t worry until the next director’s office meeting, I will support you!”
Hearing this, Tan Dezhang showed a grateful look on his face, nodded and said: "Thank you, Director Wei."
Wei Ming nodded, and said: "Since the film has already arrived on the stage, let's hurry up and arrange the broadcast. If the schedule should be stopped, it will be stopped, and if it can be pushed back, it will be given priority to make way for this big drama. "
Tan Dezhang nodded when he heard the words, "Yes, I have asked the people below to make arrangements to free up the schedule. What they mean is that it can be arranged until August 25th, which is the next Wednesday. It just so happens that the show ends on Tuesday. The movie of life, make way for the back."
Wei Ming nodded, "This is fine, I agree."
After a pause, he arranged again: "How to publicize the affairs in the station in advance? You arrange it. I will greet you for the newspapers and radio stations in the province. The whole province is linked. Our own family, or If you want to support your own family, let the brothers and media in the province start their activities, promote them, and build momentum. In addition, you can also contact the filming party. That young man Li Qian is still very well-known and famous. Influential, this is his work, let him come to participate in a variety show or something, and help promote it, this is something that is beneficial to everyone!"
Tan Dezhang smiled and nodded when he heard this, and said, "Yes."
After a pause, although he had already inquired clearly, and even personally probed Li Qian, knowing that it was impossible for him to come to participate in any variety show, but at this time, in order to avoid giving birth to knuckles, he still said: "I will try my best do it."
Wei Ming smiled and nodded.
Ordinarily, by this time, the matter had been discussed, and the attitudes of the two parties had reached an agreement. With Tan Dezhang's behavior, he must be leaving soon, but this time, he was not in a hurry to leave.
Wei Ming glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Dezhang, is there anything else?"
This is what it means to see off a guest.
But Tan Dezhang nodded and said directly: "There is one more thing, I hope to get your support."
Wei Ming narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
He is very clear about who Tan Dezhang is.
Just like the current incident, in the current domestic TV drama TV circle, at most it can win the premiere of a well-produced TV drama for no more than three or four million yuan, but he dare not talk to anyone He dared to buy a TV series for 15 million without even discussing with him when he greeted people!
If it were someone else, who would have the guts, who would have the courage?
Therefore, it must be a big deal for him to be so cautious!
It was just a slight frown, before Tan Dezhang noticed, Wei Ming waved his hand grandly, "Just say something!"
Tan Dezhang said: "After the matter was settled, Li Qian and I found a place alone, had a few drinks and chatted. From his mouth, he had heard some rumors before. son."
After a pause, he said: "Li Qian personally admitted that his company Minghu Culture is indeed preparing to plan and produce two programs recently. One is a talk show. According to Li Qian, it is similar to the one in the United States. This kind of talk show, the host has confirmed that it will be Sun Ruoxuan from the Rose Power group, and it is said that Shuntian TV is very optimistic about this show, and the cooperation between the two parties is advancing steadily."
"The other one is a large-scale music talent show. It is said that it is currently in contact with Suncheon TV and Huaxia TV, hoping to reach a cooperation. But according to him, because those two TV stations have their own similar Variety shows, so the talks are not going very well at the moment."
Speaking of this, the light in Tan Dezhang's eyes gradually brightened, and he continued: "Li Qian briefly introduced to me the creative purpose and style of these two programs. After listening to them, I think it is very necessary for us to combine these two programs. Win him over!"
Hearing this, Wei Ming rubbed the hair on his forehead, pondered for a moment, and said, "Talk show... Well, this is probably a host, to invite some entertainment stars, and everyone sits down and jokes together, right?"
Tan Dezhang nodded, "It's roughly like this, but I heard from Li Qian that the more important point of this program is to criticize some entertainment news. In his words, it's called Tucao. He gave me two examples. I think Quite interesting."
Wei Ming thought for a while and said with a smile: "I know this kind of program. The production cost is not high. It mainly depends on the quality of the manuscript and the performance of the host. Well, those little girls in Rose Power... can it work?"
Rarely, Tan Dezhang's eyes flickered slightly, but then his eyes became firm again, and he said seriously: "I have been in contact with Li Qian once, and he gave me the feeling that he never does things that are not sure, Therefore, I am very optimistic about this program planned by him, and I will focus on him."
Wei Ming slightly looked up at him unexpectedly, surprised in his heart: With Tan Dezhang's arrogance, sternness and seriousness, he would actually like a show planned by him just because he likes a person? What's more, this person has never had a successful precedent in variety shows?
But talking now, he can feel that the other party seems to really value Li Qian, so he didn't ask any more questions, thought about it, and said: "About this point, you can write a plan, At the next director's office meeting, let's have a serious discussion and listen to other people's opinions, if everyone thinks it's feasible, then go!"
This statement is somewhat... It seems that it is not very supportive.
However, Tan Dezhang did not insist on anything. He paused for a moment, and then said: "This program is not big enough. In terms of influence, even if it is too popular, it cannot be too big. Therefore, it belongs to the kind of small fast. Spiritually, even if we cooperate with Minghu Culture, although the investment does not need to be large, the income is limited, so it is okay to endure it for a while, but I think we must strive to win the music talent show !"
After a pause, he added another sentence, "Shuntian TV and Huaxia TV are hesitant because they have similar programs, but we don't. According to Li Qian's idea, I can feel that this Once the program is released, its influence will be national in nature. Moreover, although it is just a simple chat, I think that Li Qian's ideas, coupled with the Minghu Culture in his hands With strong music resources and singer resources, if our station can work together with him, this program will most likely become a trump card of our station in the future! It will help us greatly increase our influence!"
"Music talent show... um..." Wei Ming pondered for a moment, and said, "That's it, you first form a plan, make a proposal, and let's look at it in detail, okay? Oh, yes Alright, if this program is going to be done, it should be a relatively large investment, right?"
Hearing this, Tan Dezhang forced himself to suppress his inner dissatisfaction, nodded, and said calmly: "If we want to do it, even if we cooperate with Minghu Culture, they will produce music resources and stars, and our station will be responsible for organizing and filming, and then follow-up The production is probably a cooperation between the two parties, and the total investment is estimated to be 20 to 30 million. It may even be higher."
Wei Ming frowned upon hearing this, "Well, this investment...is very high!"
After a pause, he said: "Dezhang, I know you are anxious and want to do more things, hurry up and do something, but there are some things that cannot be rushed, once you make a mistake, it is difficult to turn back !The investment of such a large amount of money, as decision makers, we must be cautious! Let’s make a proposal first, okay? Make a proposal, let’s discuss and argue slowly, okay?”
Tan Dezhang hesitated to speak.
Wei Ming has already continued: "At least, let's see how the effect of this drama will be after it is broadcast. It should always be right?"
Tan Dezhang hesitated when he heard the words, and nodded.
Yes, he can rely on his intuition to choose to trust someone when doing things, but if he wants to convince others, especially such a "big show" that often involves tens of millions of investment, he must convince others to vote for it , then obviously, he must prove to others that that person is as credible as the things he produces, whether it is music, records, TV dramas, or variety shows!
So, after thinking about it, he said, "Then... well, I'll make proposals and plans first, and then, after the TV series is broadcast, we'll discuss it."
Wei Ming nodded in satisfaction, "That's right! This is the safest way!"
Despite some dissatisfaction in his heart, Tan Dezhang knew that whether it was forced by the situation, or simply out of awe of the powerful force behind him, Wei Ming sat in the position of director, although he would occasionally I want to press myself down, but after all, he is still supportive of himself, so at this time, he still smiled and replied, "You are the Dinghai Shenzhen of our station, as long as you don't nod for a day, even if you let me do it, I have no confidence, do I?"
Hearing this, Wei Ming laughed out loud.

Shuntianfu, Minghu Culture, Art Director Office.
He Runqing was sitting on the sofa leisurely, with slender hands and tender green tea buds, but after a while, the light green and yellowish tea soup, with curling steam, slowly drifted away in the office.
"Um, ok, ok, that's ok, ok, ok!"
After a series of answers, Li Qian hung up the phone, went back and sat down on the sofa, and said with a smile: "The call from Deputy Director Tan has been broadcast on Wednesday, August 25th, which should happen to be when the students haven't School starts, catching up with the tail end of summer vacation."
He Runqing smiled and pushed the teacup towards him.
Li Qian picked it up, took a sip carefully, and then let out a long "huh", which was a satisfied compliment when he heard it.
He Runqing smiled, picked up the cup in front of her, took a sip, and said: "That's just right, I'm still short of a CD house, and the concert will be over by then, I always have to rest for a few days, just because I'm bored Watch TV at home."
Li Qian nodded with a smile, said "Okay", took another sip of tea, and couldn't help but admire: "When it comes to making tea, among the many times I've had tea, only you make the most sense— —Delicate and moist.”
He Runqing smiled when she heard the words, "It's fine if you like to drink, just call me when you want to drink, and I'll make it for you. Or, you can go directly to my house and drink as many times as you want."
Li Qian smiled, and then sighed helplessly, "I really want to, but we're all too busy! Sigh..."
When he was talking, he lowered his head and didn't see that He Runqing seemed to have something to say. He paused, and then continued: "Like you, will you make a new album next? Then, I watched Tan Dezhang's talk about Super Girl. Interested, and he is very courageous in doing things, so I guess, this program, nine out of ten, will cooperate with them. If this program is going to be held next year, you must go there to support the scene. I've been busy for half a year..."
Having said that, he turned his head to look at He Runqing, with a hint of apology in his eyes, and asked, "You won't blame me for making you go around? If you think..."
He Runqing waved her hands and said with a smile, "You know, I'm a person who can't be idle."
After a pause, she pursed her lips and smiled again, and said, "Besides, when I came to look for you at that time, when I was about to sign for life and death, I said, if you have any work, you can order me, I will definitely obey! Don't be afraid of being tired, don't be afraid of being busy!"
Li Qian's eyes met hers for a moment, then he turned his eyes away as if avoiding her, and nodded slowly.
After a while, he said, "I'll help you with your next album!"
After a pause, he began to explain deliberately: "I want to add some jazz style to you, and add some mix and match of folk songs... In short, I will try to help you reach new heights!"
When she finished speaking and looked up, He Runqing smiled and nodded.
The eyes are shining and affectionate.
Li Qian turned his eyes away subconsciously, and said again: "Next, as long as that program is on, you don't want to make an album next year. Although the time span of that program will be longer, it is not necessary for you. There are too many breakthrough things, and you are working on HN, so you should be busy with work and go home for half a year at the same time.”
He Runqing smiled again, nodded, and said, "OK."
After a pause, she took the initiative to speak and asked, "Have you settled for dinner?"
Li Qian subconsciously wanted to say that there was a game waiting, but when he raised his head and looked at him, he muttered for a moment, then shook his head.
He Runqing picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, put down the cup, took the bag, stood up, and said, "Don't leave this tea too cold. If you like it, drink it when your mouth is hot. When it’s cold, it will become astringent. I’m going to buy vegetables now, and come home to eat at night!”
After finishing speaking, she didn't wait for Li Qian to reply, she just smiled at him, then turned her head and walked towards the door, opened it, and went out.
When the door was closed, Li Qian pursed his lips, picked up his teacup, took a sip of the hot tea, put down the cup, swallowed, and sighed.
Recently, he has been with Xiao Lu who has been separated for many days. In fact, tonight, he was planning to go to Xie Bing's side.
But if I went to He Runqing's house for dinner...where should I go after eating?
