MTL - The Era of Hard Work-Chapter 625 TV drama

   Chapter 625 TV Series

  This dinner party started by Tibetan Mastiff inevitably turned in a direction that had nothing to do with Tibetan Mastiff.

  Tibetan Mastiff is a business. Zhao Laogen, who participated in Ma Junren's investment, has the identity of a businessman in addition to an artist. Since he is engaged in business activities, he naturally wants to get more.

   But with profit comes risk.

   In this era, let alone ordinary people, even Zhao Laogen is a little worried about business risks.

   After all, as long as he continues to perform in a stable manner, whether he is doing sketches or acting as an actor and director, he will always be able to secure income during droughts and floods, and stand firmly among the highest-paid people in the country.

  People see the limelight on the top of the mountain, and inevitably want to go to a higher place.

  As an actor and director, seeing that the related entertainment industry can make more profits, it is inevitable to want to be a boss.

   "I want to shoot a TV series by myself. I became a director in the previous drama, and I have accumulated experience in this area."

If he wants to be a boss, Zhao Laogen is concerned about the risks involved: "But TV dramas are not sketches, they are not two-person dramas, and the investment is huge, so I'm not afraid to make Mr. Lu laugh. Just my fortune, a TV drama loses money and hurts. Muscles move."

   Hearing these words, Lu Dong instead calmed down, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, and said, "In business, there are benefits, but naturally there are also risks."

  Ma Junren was arguing next to him: "Lao Gen, who wants to be the boss, is afraid of losing all his fortune. He has no courage to look forward to the future."

   Zhao Laogen retorted: "It took me ten or twenty years to save this fortune, is it easy for me?"

   Tens of millions of net worth, looking at a lot, he used to think it was amazing, but looking at the young rich man sitting next to him, he said shamelessly.

   The difference is too much.

   Lu Dong just laughed, the two seemed to be playing a double reed.

Zhao Laogen is still saying: "I started performing in 1982, and I have saved so much money, most of which are still in your Tibetan Mastiff Garden. If I had spare time, I would invest in this TV series that just appeared last year. Now, why do you get paid in a dry way?"

   He looked at Lu Dong: "I have also considered what President Lu said, but I can't make up my mind. It is easy to register a company, but difficult to make a profit!"

Lu Dong nodded: "Yes, I work alone, and I can support my family after all. When I become a boss, as soon as I open my eyes in the morning, I have to consider the salaries of so many employees and the expenses of those stores. What if I don’t have the money? How can I give people a salary?”

"That's the point!" Zhao Laogen first praised and then said, "I've never been under such pressure, so I'm a little scared. Mr. Lu, you're a big boss and you know the media industry well. I want to get one. An entertainment company, have you got a head start?"

   Lu Dong asked: "To set up a company, you have to have a business and a project. Teacher Zhao's project, which TV series are you talking about?"

Zhao Laogen nodded again and again: "Yes! Just that project!" He paused for a while, thought about his words, and finally said: "Nowadays, many big bosses are doing this across the border. I wonder if President Lu is interested in investing in TV dramas? "

   Lu Dong told the truth: "This... I really haven't touched it."

When the words started, it was easier for Zhao Laogen to say: "Mr. Lu, this industry has a lot to do. Let's talk about a drama, if it is filmed, the first episode can sell for hundreds of thousands, and it can be replayed or replayed. Make money, the ratings are high, and you can talk about advertising revenue..."

  Ma Junren is worthy of being a friend of Zhao Laogen for many years. At this time, he beat the side drum: "Laogen's reputation is a golden signboard, and it will not worry about buyers when it is photographed."

   Zhao Laogen said again: "Mr. Lu, you have such a precise vision in the media industry, and you have such extraordinary ideas. When we cooperate, we will definitely be successful..."

   At this moment, he successfully turned into a big flicker on the stage, of course he only said good, not bad.

   Starting an independent company to shoot TV dramas is completely different from simply working for others.

   Zhao Laogen can understand why those producers are so foolish one by one, and there are always so many companies and units investing together in a TV series.

   Putting it in the boss's position can have a personal experience.

   After Zhao Laogen finished speaking, Lv Dongcai asked: "I personally like Mr. Zhao's works very much, but the investment must be cautious. At least Mr. Zhao needs to let me know what kind of TV series you want to make."

   Zhao Laogen's first time to really attract investment, he couldn't help but slap his forehead: "Look at me, I'm so stupid, I forgot the most important thing."

   He said roughly: "We are all from rural areas, and we are shooting life dramas. I have two ideas, one is about rural life and love, and the other is rural people who came to the city to work."

   "Rural people's life and love?" Lu Dong seemed to be interested.

Zhao Laogen glanced at it and said, "Yes! Speaking of which, it's still your hometown. When I was filming "The Director of Men and Women", I knew Zhang Ji, a member of the Quannan Writers Association. In the countryside of the East and Northeast, he just wanted to write a novel about rural love, so I wondered if it could be made into a TV series."

   Lu Dong wrote it down, Zhang Ji, a member of the Quannan Writers Association.

   He doesn't understand this, but there is Xu Qin who has worked in the provincial TV station for many years, and a sister-in-law who is the deputy editor-in-chief of Taidong Evening News.

   Zhao Laogen is not fooling around. If he dares to say Zhang Ji, he is sure.

   Next, he discussed the topic of rural love with Lu Dong in general.

   Lv Dong did not answer Zhao Laogen on the spot, saying that he would consider it, and then asked Xu Qin. Xu Qin thought that if you talk to Zhao Laogen, it is best to let her as a professional.

   asked Fang Yan to inquire about Zhang Ji, let alone a celebrity, a member of the Quannan Writers Association, who won the Huabiao Award for Best Screenplay for "The Director of Men and Women".

   After inquiring from many sources, plus his past memories, Zhao Laogen is quite reliable.

   After serious consideration, Lu Dong returned to Lujia Village, discussed with Lu Zhenlin, convened a meeting of village officials, and quickly unified their thoughts. After all, if this can be done, it will be of great help to the tourism development of Lujia Village, especially the old village.

   Even, its effect is still above Lu Dong's original consideration.

   Lv Dong wanted to use Zhao Laogen's relationship to see if he could establish a relationship with the department responsible for variety shows on Xing Xianwei TV, and bring a party program to Lvjia Village.

   The plan was not as fast as changing, so Lu Dong followed the trend and called Ma Junren and Zhao Laogen to invite them to visit Lujia Village.

   On the last day of the May Day holiday, for Lvjiacun, it was more lively than when the city leaders came down to inspect.

   China has a large area and a large population. The difference between the north and the south is actually quite large. There are also differences in entertainment such as sketch comics.

Probably Taidong is the province with the closest connection with the Northeast outside the three eastern provinces itself. Too many Taidong people go to Guandong. The folk entertainment in the two places are somewhat similar. Young people may not be interested, but the three Those who are ten years old and above, the name Zhao Laogen has a great appeal.

   A group of uncles and aunts from Lujia Village came to see Zhao Laogen, just like young people watching Xiaoyanzi.

   These days, it is quite rare to see such a big winner on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala outside the TV.

   However, there are special people in the village to maintain order, and it is not very chaotic.

  The old village, the new village, the three village-run companies, the nearby resorts and amusement parks under construction, Zhao Laogen followed the people from Lujia Village around, and after reading it, he was somewhat surprised.

   Came to the reception room of the village branch, and saw pictures on the wall of the leaders who came to inspect. I determined that this village is not simple, and Lu Dong is even more difficult.

   Lu Zhenlin and Zhao Laogen chatted about the relationship between the Northeast and Taidong, and after talking about the rural areas of the two places, they left.

   "My third grandfather is the backbone and pillar of the village." Lu Dong said, "There are two villages, old and new, and three companies in the village, all waiting for him to make a decision."

   Ma Junren said: "I've been to Huaxi Village, you guys are not bad at all."

   Lu Dong waved his hand and said, "It's a long way off."

   Zhao Laogen picked up the teacup to drink tea, Li Wenyue waited for him to put down the teacup, and came over with a kettle to fill it up, Zhao Laogen first said thank you to him, and then said to Lu Dong: "Today is really an eye-opener, your village is amazing!"

   Lu Dong said: "Last year, the total output value was over one billion yuan. Compared with the village, my company is nothing." He smiled again: "The main reason is that the policy is good now."

   "Yes!" Zhao Laogen thoughtfully: "The policy is good."

  Li Wenyue didn't interrupt, he just listened carefully. Dongzi said for a long time during the meeting, and he wanted to seize this opportunity.

I have said related things before, and Lu Dong went straight to the topic: "Mr. Zhao, what you said that day, I came back and told the third grandfather, what my third grandfather meant, the original author was from the Quannan Writers Association, and there is another teacher like Zhao. The old artists are personally checked, and the support must be supported.”

   Hearing this, Zhao Laogen first smiled and nodded, and then he felt that something was not right.

Taking advantage of capital, Lu Dong has already taken the initiative: "If the TV series about rural love mentioned by Mr. Zhao can be successful, Lvjiacun can invest, and the investment amount can be discussed in detail after Mr. Zhao's preliminary decision. No problem, Lujiacun fully supports Teacher Zhao."

Zhao Laogen is not stupid. From what I have seen and heard today, a top-level village like Lujiacun must support him, and he must have a request. He immediately asked: "Thank you for the support of President Lu and Lujiacun, I don't know how I can help Lujiacun. made?"

The words were open and bright, and Lu Dong also stated the conditions here: "Friendship is friendship, Mr. Zhao, when it comes to big cooperation, we are in business. The requirements for Lujia Village are very simple, since he is a Taidong writer Can the works of the members of the Hequan South Writers Association be photographed in Taidong? Can they be photographed in Lujia Village?"

He pointed to the old village: "Lujia Village has a great advantage, although I don't know the specific plot, but rural love must happen in the countryside. It is impossible to talk about love, right? It is necessary to promote the development of Xincun and rural areas, right? Lujia Village has The old village is in stark contrast with the new village. There are factories and companies, which are convenient for shooting, and the scenes are ready-made.

   Zhao Laogen opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Lv Dong added: "My sister-in-law is the deputy editor-in-chief of Taidong Evening News, and I work with Taidong TV a lot here. My third grandfather and I, one is a member of the municipal license, and the other is a representative of the provincial people's congress. It is a national civilized village, and the project reflects it, and it can also get support from the superior..."

   These are all objective advantages. Zhao Laogen has seen it thoroughly, and he is also seriously considering Lu Dong's words on the way back after a day's trip.
