Reborn 1990: I made my cannon fodder father into the richest man

Lao Liu always knew that Hu Lai had a company.

This is no secret in the industry.

But I also know that Hu Lai’s shareholding in this company is not high, and he will invest solely because this company has occupied a project that Hu Lai really wants to develop.

Everyone in the industry knows that Hu Lai has been eyeing "Ask the Sword" for a long time.

But Lao Liu never expected that the people who would eventually invest in his drama would be the culture of the north and the south.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Duan, I have admired you for a long time!" Old Liu stepped forward, especially when he saw Duan Jiajia, he even smiled: "When we last met, Mr. Duan had not graduated yet."

Duan Jiajia came into contact with Lao Liu when Hu Lai was filming "Ghost Valley 2". At that time, Hu Lai had a shot that he couldn't shoot well, and it was finally discovered that it was a lighting problem.

Lao Liu happened to be on the set next to him. The lighting engineer on the set was well-known in the industry and helped solve the lighting problem. Hu Lai also specially sealed an 800 red envelope as a thank you.

So Duan Jiajia got acquainted with Lao Liu and Cap Qifengshan.

Lao Liu is the director and Qi Fengshan is the screenwriter.

These two are famously good buddies, and the several costume dramas they created together are quite famous in the industry.

Last year, the ratings champion of Beijing TV was produced by the two of them.

"Yes, the graduation ceremony was just held some time ago. It's not that I am too tired to see Mr. Chen alone, and I am too embarrassed to continue to stay in school and take a break!" Duan Jiajia also greeted Qi Fengshan: "Screenwriter Qi, long time no see."

According to the classification, Duan Jiajia and Qi Fengshan are true peers.

Duan Jiajia only participated in the script of "Ghost Valley". The Shanghai TV station of "Goddess Catcher" has its own screenwriter. In addition, North and South Culture is not the largest investor, so she does not have such a big say.

However, Duan Jiajia handed over the screenwriting rights, but proposed that she would finalize the screenwriter for the adaptation.

There is a very good screenwriter at Shanghai TV station who will be hired into a film and television production company after the millennium. Duan Jiajia plans to contact him first and then recruit him when the time comes.

I just happened to take advantage of the project "Goddess Catcher" to get in touch with it first.

"Long time no see!" Qi Fengshan had a good impression of Duan Jiajia.

Among the younger generation, Duan Jiajia's story ideas are very active.

He had read both "Guigu" and "Asking the Sword", especially after Hu Lai almost stopped thinking about "Asking the Sword", Qi Fengshan was even more curious about this novel.

After watching it, Qi Fengshan finally understood why Hu Lai was like this.

If this novel is filmed, it will open up a new domestic drama. Not only that, it can also be extended and explored more from mythological dramas.

After the group exchanged greetings, they sat in a hotel box. Duan Jiajia did not show off and directly stated his demands.

"Although 1.5 million is not enough, it is very good for us. At least the crew does not have to continue to shut down, and we can continue filming." Old Liu rubbed his hands.

The crew is currently staying in a hotel that was booked in advance and paid for in advance.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t even have a place to live now.

But the money for renting the venue here in the film and television city has not been paid, so these are not enough. These days, I can only find some outdoor places where I can shoot a little bit.

It's just that this is a legendary drama after all. Although it has comedy elements, it is more in the film and television city and less in the wild.

"As for those actors..." Old Liu thought for a while, but he was not reluctant, but he couldn't guarantee how they would choose.

"It's better than this. Mr. Duan and Mr. Chen, if you stay here for two days, you can also take a look at the situation of our crew. I have talked to them about those actors, but your company has not done any work in this area before, so A few of them are indeed good seeds.”

Old Liu was a little confused.

He has always been very kind to the newcomers in the circle, so he has also made a lot of good friends.

It's not that Lao Liu looked down on the culture of the North and the South, but that among this group of people, except for Hu Lai who knew how to make movies, the other two were editors and writers. They had never participated in film and television production at all, let alone the cultivation of artists.

He was just afraid that by introducing these people, the good seedlings would be delayed.

In their profession, in addition to relying on acting skills to make a living, they actually rely more on youth.

Especially female artists.

Nowadays, there are too many actresses emerging every year, and there are even more beautiful ones. It is normal for Liu to have such worries.

After telling his dilemma, Hu Lai didn't say a word, and Chen Zhengnian didn't look like he was going to speak. In the end, Duan Jiajia smiled and said: "Director Liu, we are the boss, so we will hire employees."

"And because several works of North and South Culture are cooperating with Shanghai TV stations, we also have resources at the TV station. It's not like we don't know anything or have no connections."

Duan Jiajia spoke so bluntly that Old Liu felt a little embarrassed.

"Besides, if they are really suitable, Director Hu and I will have upcoming projects."

There is still one film of "Ghost Valley" yet to be filmed.

The most important thing is that "Ask the Sword" has never been launched.

Because of Hu Lai's persistence and the fact that "Ask the Sword" has never been followed in recent years, some investors actually became interested in "Ask the Sword".

Coupled with the release of the "Ask the Sword" game that started last year, the popular scene in Internet cafes has not aroused the mentality of too many bosses to invest, but it has also attracted attention.

Chen Zhengnian's reputation as the "Golden Touch" in the cultural world is also growing. The North-South Forum has also attracted many traditional literature authors to post.

Before Old Liu had finished thinking about it, Qi Fengshan next to him spoke up: "Are you worried about this? You have helped so many actors in the past, how many are willing to help this time? If it weren't for Hu Lai, we would really have to kneel on the roadside. Begging for food."

Qi Fengshan had a very average impression of those actors.

This time something happened between him and Lao Liu. It’s not like Lao Liu didn’t contact the celebrities he had good relationships with in the past.

It's either that I don't have any money, or that I can't spare the time while filming.

In the end, the heroine of last year's Beijing TV drama that won the most ratings lent them 200,000 yuan.

If it weren't for the two hundred thousand, all their crew would have been gone.

Old Liu rubbed his face and knew that what Qi Fengshan said was true.

"Okay. I'll talk to them then, but I can't say what they will choose in the end." Old Liu said helplessly to Duan Jiajia, a little embarrassed.

Duan Jiajia nodded, and there was no mandatory requirement on this matter.

Whether you stay or go is your own choice.

If you can't cooperate, at least don't make enemies.

Several newcomers in this drama will be famous for decades in the future.

Subsequently, he either switched to working behind the scenes, or became an old man, and his house collapsed, and those who deserved taxes were not taxed.

As for the subsequent gap, with Hu Lai's ability, an investment of less than one million is nothing to him!

"Thank you for your kindness!" Qi Fengshan picked up the wine glass and said to Duan Jiajia and Chen Zhengnian, "All the words are in the wine!"
