From poor god to richest man

Chapter 31 Money is not a problem
Originally, Shi Zhongchuan was overjoyed when he heard that Zhen Qiong was willing to let Song Qingfeng be the leading actor.

But before he was happy for too long, Zhen Qiong said that there were still problems with this drama, which made Shi Zhongchuan's heart skip a beat.

"Could it be that Mr. Zhen wants to change the script instead of changing actors?"

Although he felt uneasy, Shi Zhongchuan still asked politely: "Mr. Zhen, is there anything wrong with this drama?"

"What's your budget?"

"So it's about money, that's easy!" Shi Zhongchuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was about money.

The budget he gave was originally "inflated", in order to leave room for bargaining.

"Mr. Zhen, the main investment of this show is on the shooting equipment and the money for food. In the early stage, we can pick some delicious but hard-to-find small shops. After they close, give them some money. , let them assist in filming..."

Shi Zhongchuan's speech became smoother and smoother, and he felt that his eloquence had never been so good.

"As for the shooting equipment, we can rent or buy second-hand ones. In this way, I am confident that the cost of each episode will be controlled at around 20 Longhuang coins."

When Shi Zhongchuan confidently "received the trick" and felt that his words would definitely impress Zhen Qiong in front of him, he caught a glimpse of Wen Wan'er beside Zhen Qiong and shook his head helplessly.

Although Wen Wan'er's movements were not big, Shi Zhongchuan could still see it clearly, and couldn't help feeling guilty.

"Did I say something wrong? It shouldn't be!"

Shi Zhongchuan didn't feel depressed for too long, he heard Zhen Qiong say slowly, "Director Shi, what do you mean...you can save as much as you can, just muddle through?"

"Ah... this can reduce the production cost..."

"Ridiculous!" Before Shi Zhongchuan could speak, Zhen Qiong decisively interrupted him.

Immediately, Zhen Qiong said angrily: "Director Shi, the drama I want cannot be perfunctory. If you have this mentality, I will not invest in this drama."

When Shi Zhongchuan heard this, he couldn't help asking: "President Zhen, I'm stupid, please explain clearly."

"Okay! Why did I choose your drama? Because I need a drama that has no traffic stars and really tells a good story, so as to give everyone more choices, instead of just watching bad movies!"

"If your attitude is so perfunctory, then why don't I invest in the dramas of those traffic stars? They are perfunctory, and they are much more professional than you!"

"Money is not a problem. As long as you can make a good drama, a drama that everyone likes, so what if you spend more money? Besides...do you think your drama can empty Qiongshen?" ?”

Zhen Qiong's domineering words made Shi Zhongchuan awe-inspiring. He also wanted to make a good drama, but the current environment did not provide the soil for a good drama to grow.

It's like Shi Zhongchuan's drama hit a wall everywhere, otherwise he wouldn't be caught by Zhen Qiong.

"President Zhen, I understand!"

"Okay. Use the best shooting equipment, the best editing, and the best post-processing. The actors' salaries should not be inflated, but they should not be treated badly."

Having said that, Zhen Qiong looked at Song Qingfeng who was at the side and asked: "Mr. Song, how much is your salary?"

"Mr. Zhen, I'm just a past actor, and I was terminated by the company, so the current film salary is [-] Dragon Coins per episode."

"Less, this show fits Mr. Song very well. One episode of [-] Dragon Brilliant Coins is not enough. I'll give you one episode of [-] Dragon Brilliant Coins."

Fitting in with the drama is just a cover, what Zhen Qiong values ​​is that Song Qingfeng is a past actor.

In this way, no one will contribute clicks to this show just because they are fans of Song Qingfeng.

And Song Qingfeng doesn't have a company yet, so there's no need to worry, the company spends money and heat to promote Song Qingfeng.

"Mr. Zhen, what are you doing?"

"If you feel embarrassed, just shape the character!"

Zhen Qiong couldn't say anything, if he was embarrassed, the show would be ruined, so he could only speak nonsense against his conscience.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhen, I will definitely not disappoint your trust!" Song Qingfeng said seriously.

After Zhen Qiong nodded, he continued to say to Shi Zhongchuan: "Use the best shooting equipment. As for restaurants, they must be hygienic and regular, and the food must be delicious. Even if it is a street stall, it must have a good reputation. Something went wrong."

"Okay, Mr. Zhen, I will take care of this point. If something goes wrong in this link, I will bear all the responsibilities. This point can be written in the contract." Shi Zhongchuan said, patting his chest.

The restaurant where the show eats is not virtual, but real.

Although Zhen Qiong doesn't think that this show will be watched by anyone, what if someone who is bored goes to the restaurant in the show to eat and then has a problem?
Zhen Qiong just wanted to lose money, but he didn't want to get involved in a lawsuit. Not only would he not lose much money, but he would also waste time.

Moreover, Zhen Qiong disdained to use harm to other people's health to achieve the purpose of losing money.

As the son of a poor god, even if he loses money, he will lose in an upright manner!

"When shooting in the store, don't wait for people to close. The store is very tired after a busy day. It is better to let them have a good rest. And shooting after closing may affect their cleaning or even purchase."

"Mr. Zhen, what do you mean?" Shi Zhongchuan asked.

"Directly book the store for a day. Not only will it not affect the income of the store, but it will also allow the store to cook the most delicious specialty dishes in the best condition and with the freshest ingredients."

When Shi Zhongchuan heard the words, his eyes lit up. He is also a person who pursues perfection. If he was not afraid of insufficient funds, why would he choose to compromise?

"Also, there can't be any falsification in this show. It's delicious if it's delicious, and it's bad if it's bad. And no matter how many dishes you order, you must finish it, and you can't waste food."

"As for the extras in the show, don't treat them badly. They can buy what they eat directly at the store where they were filmed, and Qiongshen pays for it. The remuneration should be [-]% higher than the market price!"

"In this way, they can be motivated and add vitality to the show. As for the people in the store, if they are willing to go abroad, they will also be paid a salary, which is the same as that of group performances."

"If you don't want to, let the group perform!"

Zhen Qiongyue said that Shi Zhongchuan felt full of energy.

It is true that many of Zhen Qiong's thoughts coincide with his.

If these ideas were put in front of other capitals, they would definitely sneer at them and even make major changes.

But on Zhen Qiong's side, not only did it not need to be changed, but many improvements were made.

It's not that Zhen Qiong is so professional, as long as the money is in place, Shi Zhongchuan can also come up with this kind of improvement.

It can only be said that "poverty limited his imagination".

"That's all I have for the time being. If you have any suggestions, you can make them, as long as it can make the show better."

Zhen Qiong's subtext is that there is still something to spend money on, just say it out, the more he invests, the more he will lose, so happy!
"Mr. Zhen, your proposals are perfect. As long as the money is in place, I will definitely be able to make this drama well."

"Well. Then let's talk about your salary, Dao Shi! I mean...a fixed salary? Look... how about one hundred thousand Dragon Brilliant Coins for one episode?"

The director's income is generally fixed income, or profit sharing, or both.

If Zhen Qiong was afraid of paying dividends, Shi Zhongchuan would really do something wrong.

He is a complete layman when it comes to filming online dramas. Even if he stares at it all the time, he can't see any "accidents" and can't stop the loss in time.

So he planned to give Shi Zhongchuan a fixed salary, and it was still a high salary.

Zhen Qiong felt that after receiving a large salary, Shi Zhongchuan would definitely become a salted fish, so naturally there was no need to worry about what kind of tricks he would make in this drama.

Facing the highest salary since he entered the industry, Shi Zhongchuan did not immediately agree. After a moment of thought, he asked: "Mr. Zhen, are you interested in setting up a film and television studio?"
