After calling Teacher Gao, Gu Cheng contacted Screenwriter Liu and Director Li and chatted for a while.

He also got some understanding of the obstacle that he could not avoid in the movie "The Golden Fen Family".

The film is really a red background. The screenwriter and director are mother-son relationships, and the screenwriter and producer roles are the investor behind it is CCTV Film and Television Department.

The drama has a total of 40 episodes and takes more than 3 months to finish filming. So the filming will start in mid-October, and the actors will have to shoot until the end of the Lunar New Year. After the New Year, it will be purely a post-production work.

For the busy man Gu Cheng, it is not acceptable to turn off for three consecutive months. So he bargained and agreed to have a weekly holiday in early November and the end of December, so that director Li would arrange the theaters that did not need the male lead in those time periods when rehearsing.

At least everyone in the circle knows that Dingdang.com and Eslite Audio and Video are Gu Cheng's company (the legal representative is Pan Jieying, but Gu Cheng held a press conference), and he also knows that he is busy. After some compromise, he agreed.

After talking about the information about the show, the focus is on economic compensation.

Now, the legendary document No. 16 of the Chinese Academy of WU has not been approved. Such CCTV-in-charged films are absolutely impossible to allow private capital to invest. Even if they participate in the filming, Gu Cheng will not get any economic benefits, and at most they will get some pay.

It's really heartbreaking.

Fortunately, the other party also knew that Gu Cheng's time was valuable and he really couldn't afford the salary of tens of thousands of yuan per episode.

So after some mediation, the producer showed some sincerity in other aspects: as long as Gu Cheng obeyed and filmed well, he would introduce the copyright of two overseas dramas for his Eslite Audio and Video.

In 2001, it was still very difficult to introduce overseas TV series, and there were strict limits every year. The General Administration and CCTV did not give Gu Cheng any money, so they used this cost-free administrative approval indicator to dismiss him.

Considering this monopoly environment, these two indicators can make at least one million in the hands of mediocre people. If they are in the hands of such a sharp-eyed person, it would be even harder to say.

Mi dramas were not allowed to be introduced at that time, so Gu Chengsi repeatedly decided to report them as a Dongyi idol drama and a Fusang cartoon.

(Note: The complete ban on Japanese cartoons in China will be until 2006, and you can legally watch Japanese cartoons in 2002.)

The details of PY transactions will not be described in detail.

As soon as she got the accurate letter, Gu Cheng called Lin Zhiling, who was in Wanwan, and asked her to contact some popular Yishe and Fusang Man producers in the near future, and first send samples to the General Administration to see if they can be introduced. If possible, contact the seller to negotiate the price.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and a profit of ten million is also profit.

...

In the evening, when he returned to his residence at Baima Apartment, Gu Cheng began to pack up his things.

The cross-floor apartment he bought in June is now ready to move in. The interior design made by Jiang Youbo’s Orange Fruit Studio is very environmentally friendly and the decoration is very simple.

Because the house was too big, the family invited three maids to cook and clean and do housework. Even the maids had their bedrooms for everyone.

However, every time I encounter a business trip clothes for Gu Cheng, Pan Jieying still does it himself.

Gu Cheng, the sister-in-law, was not completely freed: in life, he wished Pan Jieying would not care about him and gave him absolute freedom. However, when he was frustrated in his career, he couldn't help but talk, and after taking advantage of it, he threw it away.

If there are also "scumbags" in the sibling relationship, Gu Cheng is definitely a benchmark for scumbags.

While packing up the things, Gu Cheng expressed his inner worries:

"The people from the General Administration are eyeing me, a 'ratings killer' and don't let go. Sister, do you think I have this status now, will filming "The Golden Fen Family" become a stain on my future resume?"

In the later society of Gu Cheng, there is naturally no such distinction between high and low. Not to mention 40 years later, even if only 20 years later, a second-generation rich businessman like Wang Xcong should still be mixed with media.

But Gu Cheng is not familiar with the current atmosphere of the "noble circle" and is somewhat afraid of "people's words are terrifying".

Pan Jieying felt that this was a kind of worry. Over the past year, her knowledge has been growing rapidly. The social attribute bonus brought by beauty and money has allowed her to see the values ​​of countless truly rich people.

So she comforted her younger brother casually: "Don't think too much, there are so many 'noble's' from poor people. Nobles don't want to live? Italian Prime Minister Belusconi was still in a band when he was 35 years old and even posted records - are they not wealthy?"

Gu Cheng twisted for a few seconds and retorted: "Suce Bei didn't become the prime minister when he was 35 years old!"

"Then he was already the largest real estate developer in Milan at that time, and his money was no less than you." Pan Jieying smiled slightly and pointed out the key to the problem, "So, it's no big deal to play, the key is to grasp two points:

First, there is nothing wrong with being young. You are only 18 years old after the New Year. What’s wrong with taking this opportunity to experience life? Secondly, you can do it. Every time you choose a drama and cast a role, you have to improve a little. Don’t go back the more you shoot, and the level becomes low.”

After hearing this, Gu Cheng felt warm in his heart and felt that all the knots had been untied.

Although "Golden Powder" is not a popular drama that is enough for people in 40 years to remember. But at present, it seems that it is still a bit beneficial to Gu Cheng's "whitewashing".

In "Meteor", Gu Cheng plays the second male lead after all, and this time he actually plays the leading male lead, which is a kind of progress. This drama does not accept investment, and it also clears up some people's misunderstandings about him "only bringing funds into the group".

Moreover, the casting of "Golden Powder" is more serious, almost all of which use professional actors, no better than the newcomer of "Meteor". This is naturally a recognition of Gu Cheng. In the future, he will easily accumulate "prestige" when he talks with people in the circle.

After accepting these settings, it seems that this matter is not too sad.

Before leaving, he told his cousin: "I have to go there a lot of time. You have to worry about digging Lei Jun. I will take it in detail when I take a vacation in early November. In addition, Sun Zhengyi's second 1 billion yuan fund will be in place in early December. Once the money is obtained, you can help me buy the novel website called "Fantasy J Book Alliance". Next year, we will recruit the magic to modify it and spend money to make a paid online novel website."

Gu Cheng’s idea is actually very simple: Chen Tianqiao’s Shengda can do something after he finishes the legend, why can’t he do it himself? With Alipay in his hand, maybe the user’s payment habits may be easier to develop.

Pan Jieying didn't know these twists and turns. She still felt that Gu Cheng's idea was a bit wild - what is an online novel? Are the casually written "The Journey" and "A Date with XX" and other magical things on the Internet? Aren't they all read for free? Can this thing be used to make money?

Questioning is doubt, but this does not hinder Pan Jieying from implementing Gu Cheng's ideas. Just buying a website where fellow enthusiasts share literature can cost a few dollars.

...

A few days later, Gu Cheng arrived in the capital and was about to go to the CCTV Film and Television Department to meet the main owner and talk about auditions.

The film "The Golden Fen Family" is said to have invested a lot of money by CCTV. Instead of using the ancient street scenes in Hengdian, they specially created a large number of outdoor scenes with a stronger sense of the times at the Tianjin Film and Television Base adjacent to the capital.

The Jin Mansion, which is nicknamed the "Grand View Garden of the Republic of China", spent more than 2 million yuan on the crew's decoration fee - comparing the investment of "Meteor Garden" in the entire drama of only 500,000 yuan, the richness of "The Golden Fen Family" is obviously incomparable.

The wealthy family in "Meteor" is made of the plastic makeup made of Camry with Rolls-Royce on the front, and the wealthy family in "Golden Powder" is the real wealthy family.

Because the shooting location is in Tianjin, the actors were notified to come to the CCTV headquarters in Beijing to audition, negotiate, finalize, and then start construction nearby.

Gu Cheng didn't have a driver's license and didn't have a car in the capital. Fortunately, the Dangdang.com he bought a few months ago was in the capital, so Li Guoqing sent a car to pick him up.

Li Guoqing is a person in the publishing industry. He doesn't understand the rules of the entertainment industry very well. He only knows that celebrities like spacious spaces, so he sent a Skoda original SUV that was very rare at the time.

Gu Cheng was not picky about the car and was easy-going to treat people. When he got on the car, he ordered the driver to go to CCTV.

CCTV has not yet burned down, and the "big shorts" does not exist. When Gu Cheng's car parked under the building, it attracted the attention of some staff members, but it didn't take it seriously - this car is not high-end, but is only rare.

After all, this is under the feet of the emperor, and the media center. There are not too many celebrities coming and going every day, and the staff have long been immune and surprised.

Gu Cheng wore a baseball cap with sunglasses and took the elevator upstairs as stated in the invitation letter. At a distance of ten meters in the corridor, he saw four or five people wearing baseball caps, probably all of whom were celebrities.

When he arrived at the film and television department, a female front desk received him. He showed an invitation letter to find Screenwriter Liu. After watching it, the female front desk immediately signaled him to sit in the lounge for a while with a smile on his face.

It was him that he had come too early, and Screenwriter Liu and Director Li were still having other meetings.

When Gu Cheng walked into the lounge, he saw two girls sitting there waiting in a hurry.

A person in his early 20s, "face is like a silver plate and eyes are like apricots", with a bit of Xue Baochai's smell.

The other one has a lot of skinny shoulders and a melon-shaped face, but the apple muscles are a little baby fat.

When the girls saw Gu Cheng, they stood up politely. Before he could introduce himself, he found that there was no need - now few young girls don't know him.

"Mr. Gu, I'm lucky to know. My name is Dong Jie. I'm very happy to be able to cooperate with you. Please give me some advice in the future."

"My name is Liu Feifei. Gu Cheng, I admire you so much. I have watched "Meteor Garden" several times. I am a newcomer. Let's sign me."

In contrast, Liu Feifei is obviously too young, innocent and doesn't care about etiquette at all.

Gu Cheng smiled slightly: "You're welcome, everyone will learn from each other in the future."

After chatting for a few moments, Gu Cheng found that CCTV's casting this time was a bit too good-looking. It is estimated that the director had no idea about the character of "Golden Powder", so he directly called "Dream of Red Mansions".

Dong Jie and Gu Cheng both have only the experience of shooting an art film or TV series. Liu Feifei is only 14 years old and has no experience at all. I don’t know if it is a private product that was brought in.
