The leisurely life of the rich start

"Mr. Zhang, among the three online dramas we have invested in, the total number of views of "Night Market" and "Safe Return" has exceeded 6 million! Especially for the drama "Night Market", the total number of single-episode broadcasts in 3.51 days has exceeded [-] Billion times, reaching the level of a blockbuster! At present, other streaming media platforms are negotiating with us for the acquisition of the second round of broadcasting rights, and the cost recovery is just around the corner!

The drama "Return Safely" was loved by the audience because of its cooperation with the fire department and its realistic shooting style, and the total number of broadcasts reached 1.41 million times.

Although we have invested a high cost for this drama, the provincial TV station in Jiangsu Province has expressed its willingness to introduce this drama to us.

Although the quotation is not high, it is also a milestone progress for our self-made drama to enter the traditional TV media from the Internet media!

Moreover, if other TV stations are willing to introduce this drama in the future, it is expected to recover the investment cost.

谷曃

The fly in the ointment is that the drama "I Have a Promise with TI" is affected by the small number of audiences of the subject matter, and the number of broadcasts is relatively sluggish, and it has not exceeded 1000 million times so far.

However, the reputation of this drama is good, and the acting skills of the hero Xie Junhao have also been unanimously recognized by the audience.

I think that the poor performance of this drama may benefit us in recruiting the actor Xie Junhao. "

Zhang Da nodded and said: "Director Xu Lin, you did a good job! You have worked hard during this time!"

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your compliment, I am very honored!" Xu Lin leaned forward, "It's just that I couldn't achieve perfection, and I feel ashamed in my heart."

"It's the first time you're in charge of a self-produced drama project, and two of the three dramas can make a profit, which is already a very good result!" Zhang Da said, "The drama "I Have a Promise with TI", even if it ends up It's not your fault that you can't make a profit.

When I agreed to shoot this drama, I had the idea of ​​satisfying my hobbies.I watched the show too, it was really good!The plot is tight, there are no messy plots, and the game scenes are shot professionally. I personally think this drama is beyond reproach. "

Xu Lin bowed again: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

"You're welcome, this is what you deserve. Your performance next month can also reflect the results of your work during this period." Zhang Da said, "You just said that the drama "Return Safely" has been influenced by tradition. Is it a media frenzy?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" Xu Lin suppressed his desire for a salary increase, nodded and said, "I estimate that within a two-year cycle, we will be able to recover the investment cost of this drama."

"When the show becomes profitable, you donate all the profits to the fire department." Zhang Da said, "Don't deliberately publicize this matter, we can do it privately."

Xu Lin nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhang, I will put this matter on my work schedule!"

"Well, this may be a relatively long-term process, you just need to remember this first." Zhang Da said, "About "Night Market", I saw a lot of comments about this drama on the Internet, and they all praised the director. Well done, and great performances by the supporting cast.

Most of the positive comments on the male and female protagonists focus on their appearance.

Many people commented that the leading actor's acting skills are average, and some even suggested that he only go abroad in the scene of making fried skewers, because at this time he is wearing a mask and his acting skills are better.

Do you think these comments are true?Is there still a navy controlling the review? "

Hearing Zhang Da's words, Xu Lin almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

But in front of the boss, he still held back.

"The comments about the male lead's poor skills may be a bit excessive, but these comments are true." Xu Lin said, "First of all, we did not criticize this drama.

The director himself also prefers to shoot low-cost literary and artistic films, and rarely hangs out in commercial films.

Taking over the directorship of this show this time is also because of the salary we offer, and wants to save money for his next movie.

Therefore, he does not have the demand and financial resources to hype his fame.

As for the supporting roles, they lack the motivation to buy water and control reviews, and the supporting roles that have been well received are all actors used by the director, and they spend most of their time hanging out in the circle of literary films.

As for the acting skills of the male lead, it is indeed a bit inferior, but the director thinks it is enough, and many scenes of the male lead are filmed wearing a mask, so there is no need for too many facial expressions.

In addition, the male protagonist's actor asked for a relatively low salary, so the director finalized him. "

"So that's it." Zhang Da asked with great interest, "What's the name of this director?"

Chapter 459 Two Shipwrecks

Xu Lin replied: "Mr. Zhang, the director of "Night Market" is named Chen, and his full name is Chen Kaiqi."

Zhang Da asked curiously: "Really? It seems that he has a name collision with that great director. Is this his real name or stage name?"

"It's his real name, Mr. Zhang." Xu Lin smiled, "I was also a little curious at first, because his name is very similar to that of Director Chen Kai, and after I got to know him better, I asked a question similar to what you just asked.

He told me that Chen Kaiqi was his real name.

He also knew that this name collided with Director Chen, but he said that it was the name given to him by his parents. When he named him, he entrusted his parents' best wishes, so even after becoming a director, he did not change his stage name. "

Zhang Da said with a smile: "He has quite a personality. Do you have the resources of the film and television dramas he has filmed before? I want to see them."

In his heart, he also used the function of editing tasks to predict the director's development prospects.

The result is that this director, like the drama "Night Market", has a bright future!

"Yes, Mr. Zhang! During the filming of "Night Market", Director Chen gave me a set of discs containing a collection of his film and television works." Xu Lin said, "The disc is at my house now, and I will go home during lunch break One trip, bring it to you."

"It's not urgent, you can bring it to me when you go to work tomorrow." Zhang Da smiled, "I heard you mentioned just now that Director Chen raised funds for the filming himself. Is it because no one is willing to invest in his film?"

"Mr. Zhang, it is always more difficult to get sponsorship for literary films." Xu Lin said, "Although the several literary films shot by Director Chen are profitable in the end, the profit rate is not high, and the profit cycle is long, so naturally it is not favored by investors.

Moreover, Director Chen is quite stubborn. First, he is unwilling to accept actors who are not capable enough to join the crew. Second, he has relatively high requirements for shooting. He will definitely ask for reshoots for unsatisfactory scenes. , the budget is easily exceeded.

Add this, and investors don't like him even more.So from time to time, he will take some commercial films to raise money for his family's life and the next film. "

Zhang Da nodded and said, "I see."

Xu Lin leaned forward and said, "Mr. Zhang, I dare to guess, do you intend to sign Director Chen?"

"He filmed the drama "Night Market" very well. I think there is a possibility of us continuing to cooperate with him." Zhang Da said, "Whether to sign or not, we can wait until I have seen his other works."

Although he has already decided to sign Chen Kaiqi in his heart, the "process" that should be followed still needs to be followed.

Xu Lin nodded and said, "Understood, Mr. Zhang! I'll bring his portfolio tomorrow morning!"

...

"The target sea area has been reached..."

"Launch the underwater exploration robot to the sea surface, pay attention to the monitoring screen!"

"The underwater situation is more complicated, be careful to avoid fish schools!"

On the salvage ship, Wei Ziming sat in the captain's cabin and commanded calmly.

Zhao Fan temporarily handed over the security work to Zhao Xuyang, the deputy who stayed on the cruise ship, and went to the salvage ship to record a video for Zhang Da.

Several cultural relics experts who are in charge of evaluating the value of the treasure are watching Wei Ziming and others work with great interest.

They are no strangers to working on salvage ships.

What they are most concerned about now is whether the salvage team can find the treasure on the treasure map, so that they can make their trip worthwhile.

A quarter of an hour later, the operators who observed and explored the monitoring screen of the robot sent reports one after another:

"Boss, I didn't find it here!"

"Boss, I didn't find it here either!"

"not found!"

谷椢

Wei Ziming said: "Control the exploration robot to continue diving and increase the search range!"

"Roger that!"

Accompanied by several responses, the six exploration robots released by the salvage team began to dive in different directions.

In the blink of an eye, another quarter of an hour passed, and the exploration robots still found nothing.

Wei Ziming took out the treasure map drawn by the computer, compared it with the real geographical map, and said: "It should be in this sea area, you should continue to search!"

"Yes!"

After several operators replied in unison, they continued to watch the monitoring screen.

Zhao Fan held the camera meticulously, recording the scene in the captain's cabin.

Several appraisal experts seemed a little worried.

Based on their experience, if there is nothing wrong with the map, then if the treasure is not found in the target area for more than half an hour, it means that the treasure may have been found first.

Just when a few people thought that this "public tour" might be ending today, an operator suddenly shouted: "Boss! The exploration robot I'm in charge of has responded, and it made a beep!"

"A notification sound indicates that there is a large amount of metal nearby, and the treasure may be nearby!" Wei Ziming said in a deep voice, "Report the location of the robot you are in charge of!"

The operator immediately said: "58.16 degrees north latitude, 7.15 degrees east longitude!"

Wei Ziming said loudly: "Others move their robots closer and focus on this area!"

"Yes, boss!"

...

Ten minutes later, as the beeps from the robot became more intense, an operator finally found two sunken ships behind a hidden submarine stone pillar.

He immediately reported: "Boss, it seems that a buried treasure has been found!"

Wei Ziming smiled and directed: "Everyone lean over and use robots to take pictures of the overall structure of the two ships!"

Several experts who were waiting on the side also showed joyful expressions.

This journey seems to be able to continue!

Soon, two panoramas of the sunken ship were projected on the large screen in the center of the captain's room.

An expert said: "It seems that these two ships are wooden ships!"

Another expert said: "Looking at the shape of the ship, these two ships are multi-masted sailing ships, very similar to the style of Norwegian sailing ships!"

Another person said: "This type of ship can correspond to the Harold dynasty. Harold I is the son of the King of Norway."

Wei Ziming said from the perspective of the salvage team, "The surface of the two ships does not seem to be highly corroded, but considering the age, the two ships may have been in the water for nearly a thousand years, and I am not sure whether the hull is still intact. Stablize."

Zhao Fan was half curious, and half asked for Zhang Da who was far away in the country: "Boss Wei, do you have any explanation for this?"

"The way we usually salvage sunken ships is the buoy salvage method." Wei Ziming, who knows the video recorded by Zhao Fan and Zhang Da, explained, "The so-called buoy salvage method is to drag a group of buoys to the operation area of ​​the sunken ship and make them pour water into the sunken ship. It is full of water and sinks to the bottom of the water. After the buoy is inflated underwater, the sunken ship floats out of the water by buoyancy.

However, these two ships are relatively old, and I am worried that the hull will disintegrate after the ascent process.

So I'm not sure if buoy fishing works.

Besides, we still don't know what's in the cabin, so we need to artificially dive to the side of the sunken ship first, observe the situation of the two ships, and then consider it. "

4 Chapter [-] Salvage

Late at night, Zhang Da was watching a movie directed by Chen Kaiqi in his own video room.

Although it is a literary film, but the film has a compact plot, excellent pictures, and the acting skills of the actors are also wonderful, Zhang Da watched it with great interest.

He plans to notify Xu Lin tomorrow, asking him to change the name of the actor department to the artist department, and to manage the actors and directors under it in a unified manner in the future.

The first director to be recruited by the artist department is naturally Chen Kaiqi!

After watching the movie, Zhang Daxin turned off the TV and was about to go back to the bedroom to accompany his wife and daughter when his cell phone rang.

Zhao Fan said excitedly on the phone: "Mr. Zhang, we have identified the location of the treasure! The treasure of the Harold dynasty is hidden in two sunken ships!"

"Well done!" Zhang Da laughed, "If I remember correctly, today is the first day for the fleet to go to sea to salvage treasure, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, the treasure hunt went smoother than expected." Zhao Fan said, "Mr. Wei has sent divers to enter two sunken ships.

In the cabins of the two ships, divers found a total of 24 sealed treasure chests. "

Zhang Da asked: "It seems that our luck is good, will you start salvaging today?"

"Mr. Zhang, the salvage work is expected to start in an hour." Zhao Fanhui reported,

"President Wei thinks that it is not safe to use buoys to salvage the sunken ship directly, and it may cause the ship to disintegrate during the process of surfacing, so he decided to use the salvage device on the salvage ship to salvage the treasure chests one by one in a clumsy way.

It's 3pm now, we'll salvage all the treasure chests before heading back.

Tomorrow we will rest in the port and return here the day after tomorrow to try to salvage the wreck with the drum salvage method.

If the sunken ship can successfully surface, we will transport the two sunken ships back to China. If the sunken ship unfortunately disintegrates during the flotation process, we will try our best to salvage the hull and try to reassemble the hull after returning home. "

Zhang Da nodded and said: "I understand, it's still the same sentence, safety is the most important thing."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang, it's not early in China, so you should go to bed early." Zhao Fan said, "I will report the specific salvage results to you in a combination of text and video, and you can check it when you get up tomorrow morning."

"No, I'll stay up all night today." Zhang Da thought for a while and said, "Just start a live broadcast for me and let me see the progress of the salvage."

He is also a little curious about digging for treasure under the sea.
