Chapter 207 High-End Ingredients Are Often Cooked in the Simplest Way
After hanging up the phone, Liu Huangshan's face was extremely ugly.
"How could this happen?"
He had been paying attention to Animation City and felt that there should be no problem with the content being broadcast.
Why did Ding Junming suddenly regret it?
The coquettish female secretary was sitting on Liu Huangshan's lap, "Boss Liu, what should we do now?"
Liu Huangshan has no other advantages except that he is thick-skinned.
He picked up the phone and called Qiao Liwei directly.
"Boss Qiao, I'm really sorry for what happened before. Do you think my "Big Dog and Two Dogs" can still be broadcast on the prime time?"
Hearing Liu Huangshan's words, Qiao Liwei cursed directly.
"On the prime time? Fuck your grandmother's legs!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Liu Huangshan was really shameless to the extreme. He jumped back and forth without any face. He really thought that CCTV was owned by his family and he could go to any place he wanted?
After the call was hung up, Liu Huangshan's face became more and more ugly.
Now that the first channel won't sign with him, the children's channel and the eighth channel won't sign with him either. It's probably going to be a bit difficult for this cartoon to be on CCTV.
Liu Huangshan thought about it and called Lu Duoduo of SouTu Video.
Lu Duoduo's phone number was saved in his mobile phone before. At that time, Lu Duoduo had just joined the company and was just a salesperson.
"Hello, I'm Liu Huangshan from Huangshan Art Company. "Big Dog and Two Dogs" wants to be launched on your platform. Let's talk about cooperation?"
Lu Duoduo directly declined, "I'm sorry, our company's schedule is very full recently. We can't schedule the signed cartoons anymore. We won't accept them for the time being."
Liu Huangshan hesitated for a moment and hung up the phone. Can't schedule? Do you think you are a TV station!
He also knew that SouTu Video had signed Da Fei's "Bright Sword" and "Peppa Pig", and they must have a close relationship.
In order to maintain a good relationship with Da Fei, he naturally wouldn't sign his "Big Dog and Two Dogs".
Liu Huangshan just gave it a try. Since the other party didn't want to, forget it.
In addition to SouTu Video, there are also Tianxun Video and several other platforms. He doesn't believe that Dafei can monopolize all these platforms?
…
The number of views of "Peppa Pig" is still growing. In addition to recruiting artists, Wang Danian is also helping him find actors.
Today, three young actors were found and Lin Chudong was asked to interview them in person.
He is very satisfied with these three young actors.
They are not very old, but they have a strong sense of camera. Their families are all doing this, and they have been influenced since childhood. They have been in the crew when they were young, so there is no problem cooperating in acting.
After personally interviewing these three young actors, Lin Chudong wrote a very specific list of requirements for the remaining main actors to Wang Danian.
Then he returned to the company, called Lin Qiqi, and asked Sister Song to meet at the company.
Half an hour later, Lin Qiqi and Song Jing came to Liangyin Media.
Seeing Lin Chudong's office, Song Jing sighed.
"There are quite a lot of people. I heard you have a film and television department. The office is not enough, right?"
Lin Chudong nodded, "We are going to move in a while and rent a bigger one."
Song Jing's attitude towards Lin Chudong has also changed a lot compared to before. She always thought that Lin Qiqi and Dafei were like a princess falling in love with a commoner.
But now it seems that Dafei is developing very fast. Maybe he will become a capital tycoon in a while.
Lin Qiqi put her hands on her waist and said, "How is it? Dafei's company is good, right? When my contract expires, I will come too."
Song Jing glared at her, "Nonsense, what are you doing here?"
Lin Qiqi pouted, "Why can't I come? I'm here, I'm also a Fei girl."
Song Jing rolled her eyes in annoyance. This girl talks nonsense all day long.
Even if Dafei's company is developing well, it can't make Lin Qiqi change jobs.
Lin Chudong smiled and said, "Nothing is impossible. Qiqi's contract still has half a year left. In half a year, maybe I can make a big progress."
"Sister Song, how much is your annual salary now? If I want to recruit Qiqi, I will recruit you as well."
Song Jing is the company's gold medal agent and has brought out many famous artists before.
After taking charge of Lin Qiqi, she found that Lin Qiqi was a young lady, so she retired early and focused on taking care of this young lady.
As long as she treats Lin Qiqi well, the Lin family will naturally not treat her badly.
So Song Jing is now in a semi-retired state, and is only responsible for Lin Qiqi as an artist.
How could Lin Chudong bear to let such an excellent talent be idle?
When the company really expands, if Sister Song is recruited, his work will be much easier.
Song Jing shook her head helplessly, "You are ambitious."
"Let's make a verbal agreement. As long as you can make two hit TV series in a row, I will let Qiqi come to your place."
Lin Chudong said, "And you."
Song Jing laughed dumbly, "Okay, if you can make two hit TV series, Qiqi and I will work for you together."
Lin Chudong made two hit TV series in a row, "The Beginning" and "Bright Sword", which is a miracle in the industry.
There are only a few directors in the film industry who can make a hit with every film, and they are all top in the industry.
In the TV industry, there are almost no directors who can make a hit with every film, which is no longer in line with the market law.
So far, no director has been able to make a hit with every film in the TV series field.
It is extremely rare for Lin Chudong to be on fire twice in a row.
Most of the time, after one movie becomes popular, they make a sequel, and then the sequel's effect is much worse than the first one, and then they make other movies.
After all, when filming a TV series, the most important thing is stability.
After making a popular drama, everyone must be thinking about continuing to make money, and the most stable way is to make a sequel.
Da Fei's next drama is neither "Bright Sword 2" nor "The Beginning 2". In Song Jing's opinion, it is too risky and Da Fei is still too young.
However, if Da Fei really has the ability to make a hit movie, Song Jing might consider bringing Lin Qiqi over.
As for the company, when Lin Qiqi was leaving, the boss had to send her off with a smile.
He took out the script and read it to Song Jing.
A few minutes later, Song Jing's face became serious.
"The script is okay, but it will test the actor's acting skills. Are you going to act in it yourself?"
Lin Chudong nodded, "This drama is tailor-made for me."
Song Jing rubbed her chin, a little worried on her face.
"I've seen you act in sketches. You're good in sketches, but there's still a big difference between you and film and television actors."
"This drama is too risky. All the money is bet on you. Even Qiqi doesn't have much room to show off."
Lin Qiqi crossed her arms and said.
"Yes, I don't have many roles, so you should pay less."
Song Jing rolled her eyes, this girl really turned her elbows outward!
Song Jing thought for a while, "Since I have agreed to you, the price will be as Qiqi said before. She won't take a share of it. You can give the company five million, and I will bring a sponsor."
Lin Chudong nodded, "Thank you very much, Sister Song."
This price is probably the only one in the industry that can attract Lin Qiqi.
Everyone discussed it and set the start date for next week.
If Lin Qiqi doesn't have time, she can shoot other scenes first.
In the evening, everyone had a meal together. After hearing about the popularity of Lin Chudong's "Peppa Pig", Song Jing felt that her three views were about to be subverted.
"How much did your game cost?"
Lin Chudong said, "Thirty to forty million, the follow-up is getting less and less, I can only make a quick buck."
Song Jing was stunned. Although she had not played that game, she had seen some videos of others playing it.
It's nothing more than a first-person perspective shot, the plot is average, the acting is okay, but the actress is pretty pretty.
Just that one thing can sell for 30 to 40 million?
Dafei has his own film and television department and game department, and the actors are all from his own company. It is estimated that the cost is less than one million, right?
Less than one million, making thirty or forty million in a week, this profit is too scary.
He made a lot of money with the last game, and this time "Peppa Pig" is popular again?
Although it is only a cartoon, it can be considered as a film and television industry, which makes Song Jing really confused.
"Are your cartoons all drawn by outsiders?"
Lin Chudong said, "Not really. I drew all the original paintings myself. The key frames were made by my own employees. There are about thirty people in my art team. The remaining scenes and other scenes were painted by outsiders."
If we recruit about fifty people, we should be able to be self-sufficient and no longer need to hire painters from outside.
Painters outside are definitely more expensive than those in your own company, and sometimes their painting styles are not uniform. Many of them are unusable and have to be modified by others. Communication is not timely, and it is troublesome to make changes again and again, which delays the progress.
After moving back, Lin Chudong's art team expanded to fifty people.
Song Jing was stunned, "There are thirty people in the art team?"
The company Dafei is developing very fast!
This guy is a little too courageous.
The cartoon lasted for three episodes, and as soon as it was aired, it dared to attract so many people and invest so much money.
And after signing a contract with CCTV, aren't you worried that the quality of subsequent cartoons will not be good, or that the popularity will decline? If the reputation collapses, how can we continue to cooperate with CCTV in the future?
Lin Chudong never seems to think about these things, and the works he produces are bound to be popular by default.
This guy is too confident in his own work.
Moreover, his team is all made up of newcomers. Except for one mature guitarist, the rest are all outsiders, genuine bastards.
The people in the team really trust him unconditionally. Such a team... is really enviable.
Song Jing has never seen such a company, which is completely centered on Da Fei. Whether it is literary works or business models, it is all directed by him. It is so popular that it is really weird.
Just look at the actresses in his company. Although they are all quite beautiful, there are so many beautiful actors these days. How can it be so easy to become popular?
These girls, staying peacefully in the company, not having to deal with dirty deals in the entertainment industry, and being able to become popular without any hidden rules, is already a miracle in the industry.
Following Da Fei might actually have a bright future.
At least Lin Qiqi can be happy.
This girl Lin Qiqi is not short of money at all. She enters the entertainment industry purely for her hobby.
So filming is just to produce excellent works.
But now most film and television dramas are for the purpose of making money, and even one drama can be filled with more than ten sponsors, and there will be a product placement within a few minutes.
This kind of drama is just trying to make money, so the reputation won't be that good.
But Da Fei's drama is somewhat different.
Especially the last drama "Bright Sword", Song Jing watched it from beginning to end, there was no product placement in the drama, and it was said that this drama really had no sponsors.
And the previous incident of college students performing in groups was a hot topic, there were no sponsors, and the crew had good food and accommodation. Da Fei is really different from those directors.
At least this matter of not needing sponsors is enough to make people look at him with new eyes.
Suddenly, Lin Chudong raised his glass and said.
"Everyone, including the sponsors brought by Sister Song, there are already six sponsors for this drama. Let's toast to Sister Song!"
Song Jing: ...
Okay, just ignore what I said just now.
...
At the dinner table, Sun Xuan called.
"Da Fei, the show is scheduled for 10pm."
Lin Chudong said, "It's OK, it didn't go on until midnight."
Sun Xuan was speechless, "You have a good attitude, you are not satisfied with the late night show?"
Lin Chudong smiled, "What can we do, we are a documentary, and this is the treatment, haha."
Sun Xuan sighed, "Well, let's see the effect tonight, if it's not popular, our hard work last week will be in vain."
Lin Chudong said, "Don't worry, Brother Sun, it will definitely be a big hit."
After hanging up the phone, Song Jing asked curiously.
"What program are you doing?"
"A documentary, CCTV Channel 9, broadcast at 10pm."
Song Jing looked surprised, "You can also do documentaries?"
"A little bit, Sister Song can watch it tonight if you are interested."
Lin Qiqi raised her hand, "I watch it too!"
Lin Chudong frowned slightly, "You don't recommend watching it."
"Why?"
"A food program, I'm afraid you will be greedy."
"Humph, Dafei, you underestimate me too much, I still have this little self-control."
Lin Chudong glanced at her, "Remember what you said now."
...
After the dinner, Song Jing sent Lin Qiqi home.
When they arrived at the door, Lin Qiqi said.
"Sister Song, you stay with me tonight, my dad is not at home."
Song Jing thought for a while, "Okay."
After entering Lin Qiqi's house, a middle-aged woman hurried up to get slippers for the two to change clothes.
"Miss, Ms. Song, you are back. I prepared some midnight snacks. Do you want to eat?"
Lin Qiqi shook her head, "Aunt Li, no, we just ate."
When they got home, Lin Qiqi and Song Jing washed up first, then lay on the bed and watched Peppa Pig and other programs for a while.
Lin Qiqi hugged Song Jing's arm. The agent had a close relationship with her, just like her sister.
"Sister Song, do you think Dafei is very powerful?"
Seeing Lin Qiqi's admiring look, Song Jing laughed helplessly.
"Powerful, you can find a chance to announce it later."
Lin Qiqi blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
"Will it affect his career?"
Song Jing was speechless, "You are not worried about affecting your career, but you are worried about him?"
Lin Qiqi shrugged, "I don't care, I have a play to shoot, and I don't worry about work with Dafei."
Song Jing sighed, it seems that this girl is determined to go to Dafei's company.
I have to say hello to the boss when I go back. Although the Lin family is big and powerful, I still have to do things to save face.
I have to shoot a few dramas for the boss in the past few months before I leave.
If Lin Qiqi leaves, Song Jing will definitely follow.
Song Jing has been busy in the entertainment industry for half of her life. If she wants to retire, she has to cling to Lin Qiqi's thighs.
After she retires, the Lin family will support her, so of course she must grab this treatment.
However, when Song Jing thought about working for Da Fei, her heart was a little bit unbearable.
Not to mention anything else, she couldn't stand Da Fei's quarrels with people on the Internet.
When "The King of Songs" was not popular yet, he dared to challenge Zhang Yiran. This kid is a troublemaker. If Song Jing goes, she will inevitably worry.
Alas, maybe this is fate.
The two watched idol dramas for a while, and it was almost ten o'clock.
Lin Qiqi directly switched the TV to CCTV 9, waiting for Da Fei's new program.
Song Jing was a little sleepy, but she still watched it patiently for a while. Watching documentaries was like hypnosis, and it was just right for sleep.
Finally, the program started.
What came into view was a pot of steaming steamed buns and a variety of delicacies. Accompanied by melodious music, the program officially began.
The first episode of "A Bite of China", a gift from nature.
Chief producer: Sun Xuan
Chief director: Da Fei
Song Jing's face showed a trace of solemnity. This title, this music, and the use of this lens are quite interesting.
She didn't know much about documentaries, but most documentaries were boring. This film was shot by Da Fei. I wonder if there will be anything unusual.
"China has a large population and the most diverse natural landscape in the world."
"Plateaus, mountains, lakes, coastlines."
"This geographical and climatic span is conducive to the formation and preservation of species."
"No country has so many potential food raw materials..."
Watching the changing weather, the ripening of wheat, the growth of bamboo shoots, and finally the arrival of the meal on the table, the use of camera language is extremely clever.
Lin Qiqi said, "Da Fei's voice!"
Da Fei's voice is quite good. After all, he hosted a program on CCTV. Now as a narrator, his voice sounds very comfortable.
Song Jing said, "These shots are good. Da Fei's directing ability is indeed good."
These shots are very professional at first glance, and the use of light is quite appropriate, and it is also comfortable to watch.
"People collect, pick up, dig, and fish in order to get this gift from nature."
"Traveling through the four seasons, we are about to see the story of people and nature behind the delicious food."
"Shangri-La, Yunnan, Matsutake, a precious edible fungus..."
On the bed, Song Jing and Lin Qiqi have changed from a semi-lying position to a sitting position.
On the TV, a picture of fried matsutake is being broadcast, accompanied by Da Fei's steady voice.
"High-end ingredients are often cooked in the simplest way."
Lin Qiqi swallowed her saliva.
"Song Jie, I'm hungry."
"Me too."
