In the car, Wu Yuchen opened the rear window and let the wind blow by to disperse the smell of alcohol in the car. They had just sent back Director Liu from CCTV.

After a while, Wu Yuchen closed the car window and asked Cai Yinong:

Mr. Cai, what do you think?

Cai Yinong thought for a while and said: The price of the exclusive broadcast is a bit low. I think it can be considered for the first broadcast. After all, CCTV's platform effect is still very sufficient.

Regarding Years of Burning Passion, Director Liu also discussed the price with the two of them, in two ways.

The first is that the first broadcast rights were sold to CCTV for 4 million;

The second is that CCTV bought out the exclusive broadcast rights of the drama Passion for 10 million.

These days, CCTV generally buys the first broadcast rights at a much lower price than local stations, because CCTV has a platform effect. If the first broadcast on CCTV is good, it will be easy to sell the second round. Therefore, some confident film and television companies will choose to sell the first broadcast rights to CCTV at a low price, and then make money by selling second and third rounds to various local stations.

For example, the price quoted for The Years of Burning Passion this time is 4 million, which is 5 million lower than the production cost. If CCTV can release it immediately, then Wu Yuchen has no problem with it. If he loses a little money and sells it, it will be easy to make money later, but the key is that they can't arrange for him to broadcast it immediately.

Wu Yuchen shook his head directly and said: Mr. Cai, CCTV will air Water Margin in January next year. I don't want to delay it until next year. What if our Years of Passion Burning is put on the 8th and 1st series? Water Margin and fighting in the ring, there's no comparison.

As for selling the exclusive broadcast rights for 10 million, he would not consider it. He would be stupid to sell such a hit drama for 10 million.

After hearing this, Cai Yinong also understood Wu Yuchen's thoughts and asked tentatively: Then CCTV will forget it first? Shall I contact other TV stations?

Wu Yuchen nodded: Please contact Beijing TV, Magic City TV, Guangdong TV and Xiangnan TV to try to release it as soon as possible!

Okay, I'll run through each one. It can be seen from Director Liu's attitude this time that Director Wu is still very attractive after you put your name on it! Cai Yinong said without forgetting to compliment.

Wu Yuchen smiled when he heard this. He is now named as the producer, and at the same time, he is the first screenwriter. He is indeed of some use to these TV stations.

At this moment, Wu Yuchen's cell phone rang, and when he picked it up, he found that it was an overseas call.

Dear Wu, long time no see!

Wu Yuchen knew who it was as soon as he heard it, and replied with a smile: Hi, Jeff, I miss your wife's strawberry cheesecake~

Hahaha, when you come over again, you can try other flavors!

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Jeff got down to business:

Wu, Black Hole Frequency is scheduled to be officially released in two months.

Wu Yuchen's heart moved when he heard this, and he asked: Is it on Thanksgiving Day?

Yes, I originally proposed to schedule it for the Christmas period, but it was rejected because I was afraid that we would not be competitive enough. However, the Thanksgiving schedule is also very good. We will release it on the Friday of the week before Thanksgiving to try to seize the opportunity. Get the upper hand.

Hmm, what a very good strategy! Wu Yuchen praised.

This arrangement is indeed thoughtful. Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. For the West, this is a time for families to reunite and share each other’s warmth and love. And Black Hole Frequency itself is about the relationship between father and son, so it is really suitable to put it on the Thanksgiving schedule.

Wu Yuchen asked again with concern: Jeff, what does the final edited version of the movie look like? Have you seen it?

Jeff burst out laughing when he heard this: Wu, don't worry, the company is very satisfied with the effect you produced. Coupled with Stallone's and our persistence, it will still be your version even without a single cut!

Wu Yuchen now showed a satisfied smile: Jeff, this news will make me happy for at least a week!

Wu, I'm still amazed at your movie editing speed. It's really fast and accurate!

Haha, that's because I was fully prepared before shooting, and all the pictures were in my mind.

After the two chatted and laughed for a while, Jeff emphasized again: Wu, you must come when the time comes. The crew cannot do without you for publicity!

Of course, my first Hollywood movie, I'm definitely going to do it.

Wu Yuchen hung up the phone with a smile. He was in a good mood. Whether the movie had not been cut yet or from Sony Columbia's publicity and distribution arrangements, it could be seen that Black Hole Frequency was still taken seriously to a certain extent.

But think about it, after all, the leading actor in this movie is Stallone. Even though he has been declining in recent years, his reputation is still very famous. It is reasonable to give certain resources to him. This gave him a lot of expectations for the release of Black Hole Frequency two months later.

In the evening, Wu Yuchen arrived at Li Xiaoran's place. Now Li Xiaoran no longer lives in the previous rental house. Wu Yuchen directly bought a house in a newly developed high-end community and moved her.

To be honest, he used to read a lot of novels about time travel and rebirth and decided to buy a courtyard house to live in. In addition to the investment value, which he recognized very much, if you talk about the living conditions and experience, it is really incomparable with the residential buildings. !

Water, electricity, Internet, parking, plumbing and other aspects, all-round comfort is lagging behind.

Anyone who has lived in a courtyard house here in the capital wants to move out. And even if there is a courtyard house at home, they have rented it to others and lived in the building next to it. This is the norm in the courtyard house in the capital.

Of course, if you are willing to spend money, these facilities problems can be solved. However, Wu Yuchen still feels that the comfort of the courtyard is not very good, it just sounds like it is full of style.

After Wu Yuchen took a shower, the smell of alcohol had dissipated. When he came out of the bathroom, he saw Li Xiaoran running to him with a script: Hey, how about you help me read this movie script?

Wu Yuchen smiled and said: Yo! Sure, someone is asking you to make a movie!

Li Xiaoran raised his chin and said slightly proudly: Of course, and there are more than one!

Although Run Lola Run starring Li Xiaoran has not been publicly released in mainland China, it has a great reputation and the disc market is very popular. Everyone who wants to see it has already seen it. It’s not unusual for directors to look for her now.

After Wu Yuchen took the script, he asked: Who is the director?

Chen Chong, she took the initiative to contact me and said that she thought I was particularly suitable for the heroine. She also said that Yan Geling's novel of the same name was up for prizes! Li Xiaoran said happily.

Wu Yuchen thought of something when he heard this, and frowned. When he saw the name of the script, it turned out to be Heavenly Bath.

Wu Yuchen opened the script and read it. After a while, he said, Did Chen Chong tell you that there will be nudity in this movie?

Li Xiaoran nodded hesitantly: She said she could use a substitute.

What a substitute, she will definitely encourage you to go into battle in person! Wu Yuchen said directly with dissatisfaction.

Heavenly Bath has indeed won many awards, especially at the Golden Horse Awards. Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Director were all won by this movie.

Although starring in this movie can win the Golden Horse Award, Wu Yuchen doesn't want Li Xiaoran to do something to dedicate himself to art!

He said directly: Put it down. I can tell you clearly that this movie will be banned even if it is filmed. And unlike Run Lola Run, which is allowed to be filmed but not screened, it is not allowed to be filmed!

Huh? But Chen Chong never said that at all. I think she is quite confident...

Wu Yuchen shook his head: She no longer hangs out in the mainland. She will take root in Hollywood in the future. She doesn't care whether it is allowed in the country or not. When the time comes, she will shoot it and send it directly to the film festival. By then, people will be fine, so take it After winning an award and living your life overseas, you still want to be known as a professional in banning films?

Wu Yuchen is naturally very familiar with the movie Heavenly Bath. In her previous life, Pingxi Wang Xiaomilu starred in the movie. She has always insisted on using a stand-in, but 90% of people who have seen it think it was her who acted in the movie.

And there is a detail in it. At the beginning of the movie, Chen Chong was looking for Fan Bingbing, but when Fan Bingbing heard that there was nudity, he went back to discuss it with his family and rejected Chen Chong directly. If there really was a stand-in, Fan Bingbing Why don't you agree? It's your turn, Li Xiaolu?

After the filming of this movie, Chen Chong was banned for 3 years, but it had no impact on Chen Chong who was living abroad.

Li Xiaolu won the Golden Horse Award for her movie and became famous for a while, which really helped her to open up a career in the entertainment industry. But what really made her popular was not Heavenly Bath, but It's All the Angels' Trouble. Many people have never heard of Heavenly Bath.

After hearing the names of Chen Chong and Yan Geling, Li Xiaoran thought that this should be a good movie and could win awards, so he thought about taking it. But now after hearing what Wu Yuchen said, he was a little worried.

Seeing that she was still hesitant, Wu Yuchen said directly: Don't be brainwashed by that set of art film theories. Just listen to what it means to dedicate oneself to art, and have a clear mind.

Li Xiaoran had a criminal record in her previous life. In the movie The Botanist's Daughter, she really exposed everything that should be exposed, so Wu Yuchen had to give her a good vaccination.

Li Xiaoran was greatly surprised by Wu Yuchen's statement: Huh? But I read books and teachers at school said...

Wu Yuchen waved his hand to interrupt her:

Dedicating yourself to art cannot be equated with winning awards! Why do you want to be an actor?

Li Xiaoran asked: Don't you know better? In the beginning, it was just to make some money to support yourself...

What now?

Now, now... Li Xiaoran hesitated.

Seeing that she was mumbling and did not say anything further, Wu Yuchen said directly:

When you came back as a small player, didn't you say that you must let Sister Wanjun comb your hair in the future?

Don't be embarrassed to speak, now you just want to be more famous, have a higher status, and be sought after by more people, right?

Li Xiaoran nodded when she heard the words, but she was still a little ashamed that Wu Yuchen said her inner thoughts so frankly. After all, the current domestic education and environment require people to be ashamed of talking about fame and fortune, as if pursuing fame and fortune is a very important thing. It’s a shameful thing, pursuing art is noble.

Wu Yuchen asked again: Last year, the two of us watched Sweet Honey together. Do you think Maggie Cheung's performance was good?

Okay! After Li Xiaoran learned acting, he naturally knew how good Zhang Manyu was.

Moreover, Sweetie became a big winner at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, winning 9 awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, etc., completely confirming its status as a classic film.

Well, Maggie Cheung is currently recognized as the best actress in Hong Kong. She has the Golden Horse, the Golden Statue, and the Berlin Best Actress. Have you seen her film any nude scenes?

And did you know that Maggie Cheung also publicly admitted that she entered the entertainment industry just because of vanity? Even Leslie Cheung has said that no one in the entertainment industry is not vain. He himself is vain. Why shouldn't he face his own heart?

I know you took this drama because you wanted to win awards. But now that you have Run Lola Run, filming Sky Bath will not help you much. On the contrary, it may ruin some of your reputation because of the nudity scenes.

From now on, be smarter and don't believe in the dedicated to art thing. Among the movies that can really win awards, there are very few such things as dedicated to art.

Li Xiaoran also woke up after hearing what Wu Yuchen told her. If others said it, she might not believe it, but since it was Wu Yuchen who said this, she couldn't help but not believe it.

She nodded repeatedly: I understand, I won't accept this movie, and I will also reject similar projects in the future.

Wu Yuchen hugged her and said: You have to know what you want. You are not a young actor who relies on this method to get a position. Don't worry, I will definitely recommend you if there is a good opportunity.

Well, I will listen to you from now on~ Li Xiaoran said and kissed Wu Yuchen.

A few days later, it was still the same restaurant.

Wu Yuchen touched the middle-aged man next to him and said with a smile: Thank you, Director Gong, for your appreciation!

Hahaha, Director Wu, you are just seeing someone else! To be honest, our family is a military family. I grew up in this environment. When I saw The Passionate Years, it was completely like watching Years of Passion. The same thing happened to my parents, which gave me mixed feelings!”

This middle-aged man who sighed with emotion was the deputy director of Beijing TV Station, in charge of film purchase. This time he was very curious when he heard that there was a TV series written and produced by the great director Wu Yuchen, so he watched it together.

As a result, he was completely attracted by this sight, and it was precisely because of Deputy Director Gong's strong promotion that the two parties quickly reached a deal, with 7 million yuan for the first broadcast rights, and it would be available immediately in half a month. It will be aired on prime time at 8pm.

Don't worry, Mr. Gong, I am very confident in Years of Passion and will definitely achieve a result that satisfies you! Wu Yuchen assured with a smile.

As long as you have these words from Director Wu, I will feel relieved!

If Deputy Director Gong can achieve this position, he naturally has a few skills and a drama that can impress him. Moreover, several people who watched it together said it was good, so he didn't believe that he couldn't achieve results.

And it also has the name of Wu Yuchen, a director, producer and screenwriter who has just made 70 million box office, so it will be easy to promote it.

After sending the person away, Wu Yuchen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He doesn't like the current atmosphere where everyone has to drink for everything. If it weren't for the fact that this was the first TV series of Miracle Pictures and his name was still hanging on it to open up the situation, he wouldn't want to participate.

However, after The Years of Burning Passion kicks off, and after Miracle Films has proven its success in TV dramas, he will not participate in similar drinking games in the future, leaving everything to Cai Yinong. Isn't this what she was invited to do? ?
