Chapter 12 I will help you solve "Don't Cry at ", and you will help me sell "A Chinese Odyssey"!
CCTV is not a big pants yet.

The building is located on Fuxing Road.

Next to it is the Military Museum.

Ma Xun came here to discuss business, so of course he would not enter the headquarters building.

In fact, there are not only security guards but also armed police soldiers standing guard at the entrance of CCTV.

How dare the Fifth Brother from Hong Kong come here?

If he was really glared at, his heart would definitely be pounding.

The better place with Sun Donghai is in the south.

Just as I passed the intersection, I saw that guy.

"Brother, you are here. The matter is urgent. Let's talk while we have lunch."

"Well, I haven't eaten yet."

Sun Donghai took the lead.

The two soon entered a small restaurant.

The restaurant is not big, but business is booming.

It's noon and the place is full of people.

Sun Donghai pulled Ma Xun to a table.

There was already a woman in her forties, wearing black-framed glasses and dressed neatly, waiting here.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is my second aunt... Second aunt, this is the Ma Xun I mentioned to you, the one with so many resources."

I just mentioned my second aunt, without mentioning her name.

Ma Xun knew in his heart that our second aunt was quite powerful.

He doesn't mind. People like this are easier to fool.

"Hello, second aunt..." she said as she stretched out her hand.

Shaking hands is a common social etiquette.

But she didn't wait for Ma Xun to finish and interrupted him, "Stop, I'm not your second aunt."

Obviously, this old woman is quite arrogant and speaks in a harsh tone.

Sun Donghai immediately smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Second Aunt~ My dear Second Aunt~. Ma Xun and I are good friends."

Please give me some face.

The second aunt rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are such an unreliable guy. The friends you make..."

The word "bad friends" almost came out of my mouth.

"Just shout along." Not bad.

"Brother, this..." Sun Donghai scratched his head, feeling indeed a little embarrassed.

Ma Xun smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's not your fault. You must have had a bad record before, and I'm just unlucky. I'm not close to our second aunt, but I got caught. Where can I go to seek justice?"

This is fine. Ma Xun not only maintained his own image, but also made up a story about Sun Donghai.

"Yes, it's all my fault." Sun Donghai quickly admitted it.

The slight unpleasantness at the beginning passed.

Next, the meal can begin.

If you insist, this can be considered a business dinner.

However, this kind of restaurant cannot be considered high-end.

Sun Donghai didn't feel bad about ordering the dishes, and his second aunt didn't say anything.

Ma Xun could see that this old woman was quite pretty when she was young.

It is even more certain that she is definitely a literary young woman.

But now, the skin is sallow and has spots.

Although I try hard to maintain it, my figure is still very bloated.

Arrogant and proud, never giving the other party any leeway... Such old women are the easiest to deal with.

Soon, the food came and everyone ate and chatted.

The conversation soon got to the point.

"Ma Xun, I heard from Haizi that you want to bring Hong Kong movies here and broadcast them on the movie channel?"

This is a good start.

What Sun Donghai told Ma Xun before was that his second aunt’s project had encountered problems.

But now, instead of raising their own problems, they are concerned about our business.

Ma Xun smiled, "Second Aunt, let's not rush this matter. I came here just to be a consultant. I have heard about the project "Don't Cry at Seventeen" before."

Reciprocity.

You care about our business, and I care about your problems.

Not to mention, our second aunt’s eyes are not as sharp as before.

He pushed up his glasses and said, "Do you know this project?"

"I know a little bit." Ma Xun still had a smile on his face. "It was written by a girl named Li Fangfang. She has a good writing style and this story is also very good. It describes many problems that we high school students are facing during our growth process. It is very close to life."

When he said this, not only Sun Donghai was surprised but also beamed with joy.

Even our second aunt's black-framed glasses couldn't hide her surprised look.

"You really……"

"Second Aunt, I also like to read books... Well, I just want to pretend to be an artistic youth."

"Haha...bro, don't be so modest, you are a real talent!"

After the three of them chatted like this, their trust in each other increased.

However, when talking about "Don't Cry at Seventeen", we cannot fail to mention Li Fangfang.

This literary youth Ma Xun is pretending.

But he really knew about this play and Li Fangfang.

"Don't Cry at Seventeen" was written by Li Fangfang when she just entered high school. It is said to be a collection of essays, but in fact it can also be regarded as a diary.

Of course, it is true that Li Fangfang is a talented woman, but she definitely has a background.

But fortunately, she did not write "My Father, the District Head".

Ma Xun knew her because Li Fangfang later became a well-known female director in the circle.

In "Don't Cry at Seventeen", the author made a guest appearance as an award-winning academic master.

After this drama, Li Fangfang went abroad to study.

It was ten years later when I returned.

Made a movie called "Post-80s".

The loss was huge.

But it had no effect on Li Fangfang.

She later also filmed "Ask the East and the West".

This movie was much more successful.

Later, Ma Xun knew that she was going to film "The Sword Comes".

As for Director Li's career, you want to ask Ma Xun if he is envious...

Of course I’m envious!

Li Fangfang is not a person, but a type of person.

Such as Jin Yimeng and so on.

Their life trajectories are very similar.

With a background, he studied abroad and returned to China to make movies.

As soon as he came back, he collaborated with a top-tier star.

Jin Yimeng's "Perfect Match", Zhang Ziyi, Bingbing Faner, Yao Dazui...

They are classified as "gods" in the domestic entertainment industry.

Ma Xun was just a mortal and could only look up to others before.

And now...

"Xiao Ma, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about literature."

"Second Aunt, thank you for the compliment. I just took a look when I had nothing to do."

"It's all Haizi's fault!"

"Hey? Why are you plotting against me again?"

OK, the three of us are getting more and more familiar with each other. Next, it's time to talk about the key points.

"Let me be frank. The station wants to make this drama, but as you know, the cost of filming is increasing very fast now.

These days, it’s impossible to start a film without two or three million.

The funding gap for the play "Don't Cry at 150" is around million."

You must learn to listen to these words.

Translated it means: The station has given us 150 million, and we need another 150 million, but we don't want to ask the station for it, so you two should think of a solution.

The two or three million she mentioned must be the upper limit.

Ma Xun was very clear about it.

People outside the circle will definitely think that CCTV is awesome.

Yes, it’s pretty awesome, we all admit it.

But being stingy is really stingy.

How much money was paid for "Journey to the West" and how many years did it take to shoot?

After filming, Tang Seng ran off with a rich woman!
What King of the Kingdom of Women?

Where is the RMB kiss!

During the filming of "Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Cao Cao were so hungry that they ran to the fields of their fellow villagers to eat corn cobs.

Mr. Cao, who played Lu Su, later said that he made 6000 yuan a year for filming this play.

Another 2000 tax will be deducted.

Lu Su is one of the protagonists.

Just looking at CCTV's employment practices, even capitalists would cry.

Now, does Ma Xun have any way to solve the funding problem?

He smiled, "Second Aunt, why don't we round it up?"

"what?"

"How about 200 million?"

"This..." Second Aunt was stunned.

Sun Donghai was also confused, "Where does the money come from?"

Ma Xun proposed his 'solution'.

"We're planning to give our movie 'A Chinese Odyssey' to the movie channel, so two million will be fine."

what?
Sun Donghai and his second aunt were both shocked.

Oh, so you want to solve the funding problem of "Don't Cry at 17" on the premise that you can first solve the business of "A Chinese Odyssey"?
Wait a minute...Sun Donghai felt the benefit and he stopped talking.

Second Aunt was not happy. "Two million? Do you think I have a lot of power? This is called two million! If I can get two million, then I don't need you to give me advice on the 200 million I mentioned before!"

The old woman is angry again.

Ma Xun smiled calmly and said, "Second Aunt, this 200 million is not your money, it's the movie channel's money.

And it’s not one year, it’s five years.”

After he said that, Second Aunt's face looked much better.

"But, this is also 200 million!"

"My second aunt, the movie "A Chinese Odyssey" cost 60 million Hong Kong dollars!

The cast is super luxurious.

Hong Kong Ah Xing has a huge number of fans in both Mainland China and Hong Kong!

The box office earned tens of millions again.

In this way, the film bought the broadcasting rights for 200 years for 5 million.

What’s expensive?

This last sentence is a cosplay of Jiaqi.

Sun Donghai was listening by the sea and was extremely surprised.

Bro, you have a really awesome mouth!

This movie is so unprofitable that its production company went bankrupt, but you describe it as a classic blockbuster.

Of course Sun Donghai didn't know at this moment that this was a super classic blockbuster.

However, our Ma Xun's mouth can even make his good legs become lame!

And our second aunt is almost lame.

"What you mean is, sell this "A Chinese Odyssey" to the movie channel, and then use the proceeds to invest in "Don't Cry at 17", this..."

Ma Xun saw it clearly and he now needed to give some pointers to this director’s second aunt.

“As far as I know, the movie channel is under the CCTV brand, but it is still affiliated with China Film.

China Film Group is now in a critical period of reform. I believe that all the leaders of China Film Group want to achieve results.

"A Chinese Odyssey" is just the beginning. We can make many more Hong Kong films in the future. We have the resources."

What this means is: I know the movie channel has just been established, so it must have money!

Those who have been in the workplace for a long time must understand that the initial stage of a project is the stage with the most sufficient funds.

Second Aunt couldn't help but nodded, but then she asked again, "You also know that the TV station talks about ratings..."

Ma Xun interrupted her and said, "Second Aunt, you are truly the most honest and conscientious leader I have ever met.

About the broadcast of "A Chinese Odyssey" on TV.

I can guarantee that the ratings will be absolutely great.

By then you will definitely be a hero of the movie channel!

As for the poor ratings due to some accidents, that’s just because of accidents.”

Translation: If there is any merit, it's yours! If there is any responsibility, you stay away from it! Do I need to teach you this?
After hearing this, Second Aunt nodded with satisfaction, "Xiao Ma, you really have many ideas, not bad, not bad."

Become!

Ma Xun was speaking his mind: this old woman is so slow!

But this is what you have to do when doing business with the system.

Sun Donghai was also very happy and kept giving thumbs up to his good brother.

This is another right stitch!
Next comes the details.

Second aunt is pretty good. She said 150 million before, so that’s 150 million.

You guys can take the extra 50...Actually, she knew it in her heart.

it is necessary.

Well, since we invested 150 million, there should be a return on investment.

My second aunt said that I can enjoy 3% of the future broadcast revenue.

That is, the audience ratings obtained on CCTV, converted into advertising revenue.

There are formulas for the details here.
