Chapter 258: Little Clouds and Rain (corrected)

This is a restaurant on the cliff. Just take a photo and you can create a stunning sea view without much modification. The beauty of Baicheng is very unique.

If Belvedere is the favorite of white-collar workers, then Baicheng may be more like the choice of artists.

Belvedere is more noisy, while Baicheng is more leisurely.

Baicheng is also the only tourist attraction in Yunnan Province that Zhou Wang has visited twice.

He still has many photos on his phone.

Because this place is closer than Belvedere, so close that whether it’s high-speed rail or self-driving, as long as the mood strikes, you can arrive there in three to four hours from Mingcheng.

The last time Zhou Wang came to Baicheng, he was carried by someone from the dormitory. He got into the car of his roommate Guo Nansheng at ten o’clock in the middle of the night. When he woke up from a hangover the next day, he was already in a B&B in Baicheng. .

“What is Mr. Zhou thinking about?”

came the laughing voice of Ma Yuan, general manager of Daxia Film and Television next to him, interrupting Zhou Wang’s wandering thoughts.

He looked away, took the cigarette from Ma Yuan, and said with a smile: “I accidentally remembered some ridiculous things from my youth and got distracted…”

“Hahaha, Mr. Zhou, aren’t you a young man now too?

” Yuan Shi smiled and said: “If you are reminiscing about the past at your age, then don’t we old men have to start writing memoirs?”

“I am sorry for my words. Mr. Ma is in the prime of life and is at the height of his success in life. What kind of old man do you think he is?”

Zhou Wang quickly confessed.

The others entered the restaurant first, and now only Zhou Wang and Ma Yuan were sitting by the Erhai Lake.

In this lazy sea view package, the business atmosphere unconsciously dissipated a little, and both of them seemed very relaxed. It was a more suitable scene for weakening conflicts.

After meeting, Zhou Wang’s first words made Ma Yuan frown, but he soon relaxed, and then the two of them came here first, intending to reach a consensus on certain things.

“I basically understand what happened on the set this morning.”

After the greetings, Ma Yuan pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile.

“Originally, if Mr. Zhou didn’t mention it, I would have taken the initiative to express my opinion. It was my fault for causing Miss Shen to suffer some grievances on the set. I have to apologize to Mr. Zhou for this. Xu Youguang may be a little It’s swollen, he used to be very careful about these things…”

Zhou Wang was not surprised that Ma Yuan already knew the cause of the matter.

You must know that although Ma Yuan will not be on the scene, he still has the title of producer and must have his own informant on the crew. If the matter is serious enough to alarm the entire crew, he cannot be unaware of it.

It’s just that Ma Yuan probably didn’t expect that he would get straight to the point and directly request “change a director” as soon as he came on.

“Mr. Ma, you are serious. You are not a god. Although I have never been on a film crew, I can still imagine the complexity of the ecology inside. How can you take care of everything?”

Zhou Wang waved his hand and said, “I proposed to change the director, but… Not just because of personal grudges, I just wonder if a crew cannot maintain daily harmony, does it mean that there is something wrong with the director’s control ability? I am more worried that this will affect the entire series. The filming progress…”

Listening to Zhou Wang’s serious words, Ma Yuan glanced at Zhou Wang in surprise.

To be honest, although Ma Yuan has always been polite and kind to Zhou Wang since the beginning of their acquaintance, it is really not possible to say how much Ma Yuan knows Zhou Wang himself.

His friendly attitude towards Zhou Wang mainly comes from Zhou Wang’s status as the third largest shareholder of Wuyou Media and the importance shown in Zhang Shihao’s words.

Daxia Film and Television is Wuyou Media’s most important strategic partner for the next year. Both parties will have in-depth cooperation on several major projects in the future. Having a good relationship with Zhou Wang is part of Ma Yuan’s social base.

But when he heard Zhou Wang say these words, Ma Yuan instantly looked at Zhou Wang with admiration.

No matter what Zhou Wang’s true thoughts are in his heart, his ability to raise the topic to a level above contradiction has already shown that Zhou Wang is far beyond his age.

“What Mr. Zhou said makes sense, but Lao Xu still has some abilities. I will give him a proper hammering to let him focus on his business.”

Ma Yuan, who became more cautious, thought about it and said with a smile. :

“If I promise that Xu Youguang will be honest in the future, and Miss Shen will be very comfortable on the crew, does Mr. Zhou think this matter can be revealed?”

“Besides, after such a fuss, Tang Ling Li is no longer suitable to stay on the crew of “Chu Tianyao”. As for the actress of the fourth female lead, I plan to change it temporarily… If Mr. Zhou has any suitable candidates to recommend, I can put them forward at any time.

” On a human level, neither of them would take it seriously when it comes to characters like Tang Lingli who are completely unworthy of the stage. However, Ma Yuan’s initiative to change the actor was actually a further concession.

“Although I have never met this actress named Tang Lingli, she has made so many indecent rumors and is indeed not suitable to be on the crew. I have no objection to this.”

Zhou Wang smiled and nodded. Then he shook his head and said: “As for the selection of actors, I won’t say much. Mr. Ma, you are the producer, and you should be in control.”

These words made Ma Yuan feel a lot more comfortable, but just as he Just when he thought the matter was over, Zhou Wang spoke again:

“However, Mr. Ma, I still insist on my opinion. For long-term considerations, Xu Youguang is not suitable to continue to be the director of “Chu Tianyao”. ”

Ma Yuan was startled, with a look of helplessness and a hint of displeasure.

Just now, he had a higher opinion of Zhou Wang in his heart, but in the blink of an eye, Zhou Wang showed the “childishness” of a young man again?

What he consciously hinted at was obvious enough.

Yes, as a director, Xu Youguang has nothing to do with actresses, but because of this he caused criticism from the crew, which is dereliction of duty.

But Xu Youguang was the director he single-handedly promoted, and he was an old man of Daxia Film and Television. Even if he didn’t care about anything else, he still had to reminisce about old friendships.

It’s not a big deal, but in Ma Yuan’s eyes, the sudden change of director was a bit hasty.

Zhou Wang should have understood, but he still insisted, and Ma Yuan would naturally feel a little unhappy.

“Mr. Zhou…”

“Mr. Ma, let me introduce someone to you.”

When Ma Yuan was about to say something, Zhou Wang suddenly smiled and waved towards the French window of the restaurant, and Ruan Jingwei, who had been waiting for a long time, came Came over quickly.

Zhou Wang stood up first, and Ma Yuan could only stand up and looked at Ruan Jingwei in confusion, “This is…”

“Hello, Mr. Ma, my name is Ruan Jingwei, and I am currently the vice president of Xinghui International Tourism Belvedere Company. Manager.”

After Ruan Jingwei shook hands with Ma Yuan, he handed over his business card.

“Xinghui International?”

Ma Yuan was obviously a little surprised when he heard these four words.

Because most of the filming of “Chu Tianyao” had to be completed in Yunnan Province, in addition to Baicheng, many places such as Shangri-La, Xishuangbanna, Belvedere, Jianshui, etc. were also involved.

In addition to seeking support from local cultural tourism, cooperation with local tourism companies in some aspects is also inevitable.

For example, for some group performances that require a large number of people, it is really not as easy to coordinate with the official department as it is with these intricately connected travel companies.

As an industry giant that ranks among the top three in Yunnan Province, Xinghui International is one of the few tourism companies that can provide all-round convenience in the entire Yunnan Province.

During the early stage of the crew’s preparation, Ma Yuan also heard the drama manager talk about it, so he had some impressions.

Looking at Ruan Jingwei’s young appearance, and then at the title “Vice President” printed on the other person’s business card, Ma Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and asked tentatively:

“Mr. Ruan, this Xinghui International is… …”

“I am taking over the business at home while studying.”

Ruan Jingwei naturally knew what Ma Yuan wanted to ask and said with a smile without hesitation.

“Mr. Ruan, please be humble. You are able to stand alone at your age. Most people should learn from you. You are indeed Mr. Zhou’s friend. They are all the same young heroes!”

Ma Yuan suddenly laughed.

Zhou Wang greeted the two of them to sit down again, and helped them add tea, then he said to Ma Yuan with a smile:

“Mr. Ma, I called Brother Wei here today to see if I can promote their Xinghui Tourism and “Chutian”. “Yao” crew, in order to achieve a certain degree of win-win? ”

” Oh, what do you say?”

Ma Yuan, whose brain had been running rapidly from just now, couldn’t help but sit up straight.

“Actually, we at Xinghui Tourism have had similar cases before. We can provide many conveniences to the crew, for example…”

Ruan Jingwei took over and said with a smile: “Mr. Ma, I heard that “Chu” The crew of “Tian Yao” settled in the Songlin Banshan Hotel by Erhai Lake

? If we at Xinghui International come forward, I dare not say more, but we can at least reduce the cost of contracting the hotel by 40%.”

“40%?”

Ma Yuan hesitated.

Because the crew has plenty of money, the Mid-Levels Hotel they are staying in is a high-end hotel in Baicheng, with a monthly rental cost of up to two million.

Yes, two million…

Given the generally high hotel prices in Baicheng, this is already the result of a discount based on the original price. It was also the result of the drama team initially spending a certain amount of intermediary fees and coordinating with the local travel agency. The “internal price” reached.

If you reduce it by another 40%, that would be 800,000.

The three-month shooting cycle means that more than two million can be saved on the hotel alone.

“Mr. Ruan, do you know the price of our full rental now…”

“You know, the travel agency you are looking for helped you negotiate a negotiated price of 2.1 million, right… I told you, you can do it again…” 40% off.”

Ruan Jingwei’s smile remained unchanged and he was extremely calm.

“But we have already signed the agreement…”

“Sign it again.”

“…”

Ma Yuan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

How can you be so confident?

In fact, Ma Yuan wanted to ask this question, but he knew that Xinghui International was behind Ruan Jingwei’s confidence…

“Accommodation is just one aspect, there are many things we Xinghui International can do.”

Ruan Jingwei laughed again at this time Said: “For example, for the production of costumes and props, I can help you contact people, and all will be given to you at cost price.”

“For another example, I heard that last week, when your director team visited the ancient city, because of the protection measures of the ancient city, It’s contradictory, so you were rejected from filming, right? But with our professional guides accompanying you, this is not a problem.”

“In short, no matter what problems you encounter during the filming process, we can help you solve them, no matter what problems you encounter. Scenic spots open to the public require rapid coordination of a large number of extras, or the elimination of some hidden dangers to order and security caused by local customs…”

“What I said above is not limited to Baicheng, the entire Yunnan Province, and even throughout the country. As you said, covering any area in Southeast Asia, we have strong coordination capabilities to ensure that your entire crew has smooth flow no matter where they go…”

Ma Yuan was speechless for a moment. Although he is now from a film and television company Boss, but once, he also rose up step by step from the bottom of the crew.

Of course filming costs money, but that’s because there are so many steps involved, there are always people taking kickbacks, and there are always people trying to kill someone.

And if we cooperate with Xinghui International, all the local expenses of the crew will be at “internal prices.”

Just after hearing what Ruan Jingwei said in general, he went through it in his mind and came to a conclusion…

In this way, the filming cost of “Chu Tianyao” can be saved at least tens of millions!

Ten million…

is enough to pay another Xia Xiwei’s salary.

If this money is spent on special effects, marketing and publicity, the popularity of “Chu Tianyao” will rise to another level, the rate of return will increase, and the reports to all investors will become better-looking.

What a bargain!

“Then what do we need to pay?”

Ma Yuan asked impatiently.

“It’s nothing more than some naming rights. When the time comes, I hope that the filming location of “Chu Tianyao” can also be opened as our exclusive travel route for Xinghui International. In addition, if possible, I hope that Teacher Xia Xiwei can simply cooperate with us. Conduct some publicity activities, of course, we will never abuse her image rights…”

Ruan Jingwei mentioned some terms of cooperation, but to be honest, to Ma Yuan’s ears, they all sounded a bit indifferent.

At least on the surface, it was the crew of “Chu Tianyao” who took advantage.

It’s just that Xinghui International will not suffer a loss. As for how much benefit it can make from the popularity of “Chu Tianyao”, it depends on Ruan Jingwei’s subsequent operations.

But as Zhou Wang said, this is a win-win to a certain extent.

After thinking about it, Ma Yuan looked at Zhou Wang and said with emotion: “Mr. Zhou, I’m ashamed, I’m ashamed!”

“Mr. Ma, where do you start with this?”

“Originally, you came all the way, so I should have prepared it for you. It’s a surprise, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Zhou gave me a big surprise when we met!”

Ma Yuan laughed.

When Zhou Wang heard this, he immediately knew that the whole matter had been resolved. He couldn’t help but raise his tea cup, “Wish us a happy cooperation in advance?”

“It must be happy!”

Ma Yuan quickly raised his tea cup, and the three of them touched it lightly.

Putting down the teacup, Ma Yuancai said casually: “Mr. Zhou, I’ve thought about it carefully. What you said makes sense. I will reconsider the choice of director for “Chu Tianyao”…” ”

Haha, me too. It’s just a suggestion. As for Mr. Ma’s final decision, of course I fully support it!”

Zhou Wang said with a smile.

You support a ghost!

The corner of Ma Yuan’s mouth twitched, but he couldn’t help but sigh again. At such a young age, he already understood the essence of “talking nonsense”. In time, he must be a monster…

At

this moment, Zhou Wang, who was holding a tea cup, Suddenly, his expression froze because he heard the system prompt.

bite!

[Little boy, turning his hands to make clouds and rain fall]

[It is detected that the host understands the social rules of adult exchange of interests for the first time. Through reasonable resource allocation, things will go as expected, and “Gray Sphere” x1 will be dropped]

Ding !

[Although there are still flaws in his actions, his actions are worthy of praise and he will receive real-time reward bonuses]

[The “Gray Orb” has been upgraded to a “Golden Orb”]

…

Zhou Wang was pleasantly surprised that the system released another reward, but Not surprising.

But he didn’t have time to take a closer look at this moment, because after talking about the business, he had to eat.

Just as the three of them were walking to the restaurant while chatting and laughing, Ma Yuan’s cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and quickly answered the call with a surprised expression.

“…Ah, are you serious?”

Ma Yuan’s voice in front was relatively low. Zhou Wang, who was chatting with Ruan Jingwei, didn’t pay attention and only heard his last sentence with obvious surprise.

“Okay, then come over here and I’ll send you the location… Remember to wrap yourself up tightly so that no one finds out again.”

Ma Yuan said something more and then hung up the phone, then caught up with him with a strange look on his face. Look around.

“Mr. Zhou, do you mind having one more person at dinner?”

“Who wants to come?”

Zhou Wang was a little confused. He didn’t know why Ma Yuan asked for his opinion, but he just asked curiously.

“The heroine of our drama, Xia Xiwei.”

Ma Yuan looked at Zhou Wang and smiled, the weirdness in his expression becoming more and more obvious, “She said…she came here specially to see you.”
