This director is so innocent.

"return."

Upon hearing this, Su Jin turned around, smiled, and sat down again.

"Speak! What do you want from me?" Ding Xin said helplessly.

"Sister Xin..."

Su Jin was about to feign anger again when Ding Xin interrupted her, saying, "Stop pretending."

Ding Xin gestured for Su Jin to look at the car keys on the table.

Su Jin glanced at it and realized that his little trick had been seen through. Sure enough, the old fox was shrewder, and his skills were no match for hers.

"Sister Xin, it's nothing really, I just wrote a script and I'd like you to take a look at it." Su Jin took the script out of her bag and handed it to Ding Xin.

Ding Xin took the script, looked at the words on the cover, and muttered to himself, "w - Two Worlds".

When she opened the cover, Wang Ying initially had the same expression as when she first saw it: she thought it was very cliché. But then she saw the comic's protagonist and the elements of traveling through the real world, and she was shocked.

This script has great potential!

A dozen minutes later, Ding Xin glanced through the script, closed it, and said, "The script is very well written. Want to get Bao Ye to direct it?"

"No, I want to film it myself. I mainly want to see if you, Sister Xin, are interested in investing in it."

Upon hearing this, Ding Xin was slightly taken aback.

Su Jin had told her about wanting to be a director before filming "Struggle," and even asked her to invite Bao Ye to join the crew and teach him.

However, she really didn't expect Su Jin to be in such a hurry to personally direct the filming.

"Su Jin, I don't mean to discourage you, but do you really think you can do a good job filming this drama?"

"Yes." Su Jin replied succinctly and confidently, without a hint of pretense.

Ding Xin's lips twitched. This little rascal was really confident.

"Are you sure you don't want Bao Ye to take the picture?"

"Sure."

Upon hearing this, Ding Xin secretly regretted it. "w-Two Worlds" was really good, with a very good idea and clear and reasonable logic.

Even if it doesn't become a hit, it will at least have a decent viewership rating.

Since Su Jin wanted to direct the filming herself, she didn't say much.

"Has the total cost been calculated?"

"It was done, and the cost was around 15 million," Su Jin replied.

"W - Two Worlds" is said to be an urban fantasy suspense drama, but to put it bluntly, it's an idol drama.

There are basically no special effects in it. The only things that cost money are the costumes and the protagonist's Ferrari.

It's an idol drama! It definitely has to be good.

Then there's the issue of actors' salaries.

He only needs to take a base salary of 300,000 yuan for starring in the film, plus a 9% share of the profits.

Find a big-name, famous actress for the female lead, with a budget of three million for her salary.

Including the fees for other supporting actors, the total fee would be six million.

With nine million left, there's more than enough to shoot an idol drama.

It has to be said, actors are really cheap these days.

In a few years, three million will be the price others pay per episode.

Ding Xin thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll invest three million."

"Sister Xin, shouldn't we invest more?"

"I don't believe in your skills."

Damn, that's really direct.

"Sister Xin, are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Alright then!" Su Jin didn't insist. He had two reasons for showing Ding Xin "w-Two Worlds" this time.

First, he really lacked funds and dared not take too many risks. If the film was produced but no TV station wanted it, then he would be finished.

Secondly, it was mainly to repay Ding Xin.

Ding Xin treated him really well, very well. The fact that Da Gangzi was able to focus on teaching him the techniques was entirely due to Ding Xin's repeated requests.

Otherwise, it would be strange if Da Gangzi, with his fiery temper, could teach him.

"Sister Xin, do you think it's possible to ask Master Bao to be the producer of this drama?"

Ding Xin glanced at Su Jin and said, "Okay."

"Thank you, Sister Xin."

After finishing their business, Su Jin said, "Sister Xin, I heard you have a good relationship with Beijing TV."

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything! It's just that I invested in a TV series last year, and now that post-production is finished, no TV station wants it."

"What show?"

"Soldiers' Assault"

"Oh, forget about it. The Imperial Television Station has no intention of hiring you."

"You know this show?"

"I know, it's just a military-themed drama! It's all over the industry, everyone's laughing at which fools invested in it."

As she spoke, Ding Xin's smile abruptly stopped; she suddenly remembered that Su Jin was one of those fools.

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Why would you invest in a military-themed drama?"

"I felt sorry for them, they couldn't find any investors, so I just invested a little bit," Su Jin replied casually. She couldn't very well say that "Soldiers Sortie" would be a hit, that would make her seem crazy!

"You're so generous."

Su Jin smiled and said, "Sister Xin, are you free at noon? Let's invite Bao Ye and have lunch together."

"Let's do it another day! Bao Ye is busy with the post-production of 'Struggle,' so I'll be even less available. I've been talking to you for ages, and I still haven't gotten a lot of work done."

"Then let's do it another day! If Sister Xin has nothing else to do, I'll head back now."

"Hurry up and go, don't delay my work." Ding Xin waved his hand repeatedly, afraid that Su Jin would continue to linger.

Su Jin didn't care that she hadn't connected with Beijing TV.

The main reason is that he didn't intend to make money through "Soldiers Sortie," and another reason is that he doesn't really care much about his reputation.

Some might say, "You can just give it away for free!"

The person who asked this question is a complete novice, an absolute novice, and knows nothing about television.

If it's given away for free, it can be broadcast on satellite TV.

There won't be as many flop dramas, and there won't be as many TV series that first air on local channels and then on satellite channels.

A television station that primarily earns money through its own "satellite channel".

What are some ways to make money? GG.

It's obviously a flop. Even if a TV station wanted it, what idiot would vote for it?

Without a hit show, TV stations can't survive, so naturally they won't want a flop.

Even if you talk a good game, without supporting data, TV stations won't hire you.

This is also why many film and television companies broadcast their dramas on local TV stations first, and then on satellite TV stations.

Of course, if you can succeed purely by deceiving people, then you're awesome.

Actually, all of the above is nonsense.

If you are strong enough and have a good reputation, a TV station will be willing to take a chance.

So, we still have to work hard!

……

After leaving Xinbaoyuan, Su Jin went to Hairun and secured another three million in investment.

He invested in "Bright Sword" two years ago and got along well with Chen Yanmin, the owner of Hairun.

With this six million, if we invest another nine million, the pressure won't be too great.

Jianmu Media.

When Huang Jiaqiang saw Su Jin return, he asked, "How did it go?"

"We secured the investment, six million, but we haven't finalized the 'Soldiers' Sortie' project yet."

"Then should I go and prepare the production team?" Huang Jiaqiang was equally unconcerned about the "Soldiers Sortie" project.

Even Su Jin doesn't care, so why should he worry about that?

The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are; they're worrying about things that don't concern them.

"There's no rush. We can take our time to prepare and find the right actors first."

He still has another drama to film, but he just can't figure out what to film.

That's really infuriating.

"Old Huang, do you have any suggestions for the female lead?"

"Here's what I'm thinking: Boss, you're not famous enough yet. We definitely need to find a very famous actress for the female lead, otherwise it won't sell well."

Su Jin nodded; he thought what she said made a lot of sense.

When TV stations buy dramas, they basically don't look at the subject matter, but at the cast, that is, the stars.

This explains why the salary for the actor who played the Tang Dynasty poet "The Immortal Poet" soared in the future.

Don't you see how TV stations don't even bother to watch dramas starring the great Tang Dynasty poet? They buy the rights to these dramas before they're even finished filming.
