In Huayu, the career reward is spy

Chapter 98 The Disliked Teacher Li
"What do you want from me?"

Old Cai rushed all the way from the Magic City, exhausted, thinking that something had happened to Ji Yu.

Who knew that as soon as I arrived at the set, I saw him leisurely drinking Coke.

Lao Cai snatched the Coke from him and took a big sip, then frowned and said, "Don't drink Coke anymore."

Don’t drink Coca-Cola? He is a staunch Coca-Cola fan!

Just as Ji Yu was about to retort, Lao Cai interrupted him and asked, "What on earth do you want me to come over for?"

Ji Yu handed her the comic book in his hand and said, "I want to play this."

Old Cai recognized it as Wesley's cartoon at a glance.

She frowned and said, "Wesley is very popular, but the film and television dramas have never been very successful."

Ji Yu naturally knew that several Wesley films were shot in Hong Kong but none of them were very popular.

The version starring Andy Lau is probably the most popular one.

But movies and TV shows are different.

"The movie is too serious, like a horror movie."

Ji Yu patted his chest and said confidently: "And there's me, don't you think the character of Wesley is very similar to me?"

Lao Cai sat next to him flipping through comics. He looked at the image of Wesley in the comics and then looked at him, and felt that the two were indeed quite similar.

Wesley and Ji Yu are like little kids, naive, curious, bold and adventurous.

She thought for a while and said, "You can try. I'll go back and discuss it with Director Li."

"Okay, but I heard that Zhou Yi also has his eyes on Wesley, so you better hurry up."

"Book of Changes?"

Lao Cai knew this company, as they used to write scripts.

He started making TV series last year, and all three TV series he produced became huge hits.

Qinghe Juelian, Woman Soup and Swordsman were all very popular.

All three series were very popular, but The Swordsman had an even more outrageous viewership.

At the beginning of the year, it took over the show "Detective Conan" on Shanghai TV and surpassed it in ratings.

Mr. Cai is very optimistic about this company in Hainan and believes in their vision.

She looked at Ji Yu and asked, "Zhou Yi plans to ask Jiang Qingqing to play Wesley?"

"No." Ji Yu was confused by the question.

Old Cai frowned and said, "Then how do you know that Zhou Yi is interested in Wesley? Didn't Jiang Qingqing tell you?"

Ji Yu then remembered that The Love of Qinghe was played by Jiang Qingqing and was related to Zhou Yi, which was why he was misunderstood by Lao Cai.

He explained: "I have my own news, it wasn't told to me by Xiaoqingzi."

"Xiao Qingzi??"

Old Cai looked at him strangely and whispered, "Did you date? Didn't you say you were with Li Xiaoran?"

"No! Don't talk nonsense, we're just friends and we've never kissed." Ji Yu retorted in a low voice.

Old Cai saw through it and warned quietly: "I don't care who you talk to, but don't cause any trouble. It's not easy to get to where you are today, so be careful."

Ji Yu nodded sullenly, looked at Lao Cai and said, "Sister, don't get too close to me. What if people say you're supporting me?"

Zhou Yi was ruined by such gossip and scandals.

Old Cai raised his hand and tapped him, then returned the comic book to him and said, "I'll go back and discuss Wesley's matter with Director Li."

"Anyway, you should do it as soon as possible. Feng Yun will be finished in more than half a month, so Wesley can make up for it."

Ji Yu acted very eager, but not too forceful.

After all, Mr. Cai is the boss.

Lao Cai also thought that Wesley was a good candidate for filming, and since the company had plenty of money now, they could give it a try.

The payback period for TV dramas is very long, and Tangren’s previous dramas have not yet received all the money.

The Heroines of the Yang Family and The Book and the Sword consumed too much of the company's funds, and there was not much money left in the account.

If Ji Yu hadn’t become popular and made a lot of money for the company.

The company has specified that it will not film any dramas next year and will just wait for the payment.

Lao Cai knew that Ji Yu was very popular now, and if the company decided to film Wesley, there would be no problem with sales.

Ji Yu pulled Lao Cai aside and said, "After you get the copyright of Wesley, hold an investment promotion meeting and insert advertisements into clothes, shoes, watches, hats, cars, and houses. You can make a fortune without filming."

Mainland superstar + popular comic IP, make money back through advertising.

Old Cai was tempted and immediately agreed to let Ji Yu take over the copyright of Wesley.

Ji Yu smiled and said, "If Wesley is made into a Kaito Kid-like drama, and it is shot as an idol drama, with science fiction elements and an idol male lead, it will definitely attract female audiences."

"Good idea. The movie version spent all its time on solving puzzles, so it's not a good buy."

"Right, Wesley is the one who attracts the most audiences."

Ji Yu and Lao Cai discussed for a long time, and became more and more excited as they talked. They both felt that Wesley might be more popular than Meteor Garden.

After talking about creative matters, Lao Cai talked about Ji Yu’s advertising endorsement.

Ji Yu has received many invitations for endorsements and hundreds of commercial performances.

You absolutely cannot go to commercial performances. Ji Yu is going to hold a concert at the end of the year, so you cannot go out and sing at this time.

The price will drop! It will also affect the concert ticket prices.

As for advertising endorsements, the principle is not to choose non-big brands.

We can't let Ji Yu endorse fertilizer.

The fertilizer is mixed with Jinkela, and one bag can be used as two bags!

Ji Yu and Lao Cai reached a consensus on the matter of advertising endorsements; the first endorsement must be high-end enough.

Don’t lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds.

Lao Cai: "What do you think of Pepsi's advertisement?"

"Pepsi is fine, so you won't let me drink Coke?"

"Yes, wait, I'll tell you the price after we've negotiated it."

"Oake, go back and take down Wesley first."

"Yeah, don't worry."

Old Cai came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Jiang Qingqing and Fan Bingbing wanted to have a meal with Lao Cai, but in the end they didn't even say a few words.

But it doesn’t matter, we’ll get together again when we have the chance.

The current shooting schedule is too heavy and I don’t have time to think about those things.

The entire crew has been working all night for a week straight, and everyone wants to catch up as quickly as possible.

Now that he has finished work at night, Ji Yu no longer looks for Jiang Qingqing for midnight snack.

The finishing times are different, so it’s hard for everyone to get together.

Although they are all from the Fengyun crew, they are in different groups and their schedules don't match.

The same goes for Fan Bingbing. Many of Chu Chu's later scenes are about her following Jian Chen around looking for Bu Jingyun.

Ji Yu goes back to the hotel to sleep after work every day, and only meets Jiang Qingqing and the others when he sets out in the morning.

It feels like they are looking for several different crews.

They were busy for half a month, and when Feng Yun was almost finished filming, Lao Cai finally replied to Ji Yu, saying that he had acquired the copyright of Wesley.

And not just one, but three in one go!

If you can become popular, you can keep making money.

Maybe you can make a lot of money from just one drama!

Ji Yu was very happy when he knew about it, and asked Lao Cai to find a young screenwriter to write the script.

What older people write lacks vitality.

It's either too melodramatic or too serious. It's hard to write an entertaining script.

Just like the current martial arts dramas, the hero always has a lover who is defiled.

It seems that if you don't accept being cuckolded, you can't show your hero's broad mind.

Ji Yu couldn't understand.

When Lao Cai was looking for a screenwriter to write the script, the news had already been spread for hype.

How to attract investment without popularity!

At this time, everyone in the Fengyun crew was very tired. Everyone was looking forward to wrapping up the filming as soon as possible so that they could have a good rest for a few days.

However, several of the main actors had a lot of film contracts, and they had no time to rest after the filming of "Feng Yun" was completed.

I guess he can’t even get out of Hengdian.

Ji Yu is feeling slightly better and can take a few days off to rest.

But I also have to go back to Shanghai to prepare for the concert.

Before Ji Yu left, everyone had a farewell dinner together.

When it comes to disbanding, only Ji Yu is leaving.

The others are still in Hengdian, staying in the same hotel and we can meet them every day.

The farewell dinner was very lively and Ji Yu drank a lot of wine.

When I returned to the hotel at night, I was carried back by bodyguards.

When Ji Yu woke up the next day, he was shocked to see Fan Bingbing in his room.

He grabbed the quilt and said, "Bingbing! What did you do to me!"

"Of course it's the right thing to do." Fan Bingbing said with a smile.

Ji Yu was very upset!

I shouldn’t have drunk so much last night. I have no memory of anything. It was all in vain!
Seeing Ji Yu like this, Fan Bingbing couldn't help laughing.

"Just kidding, I just got here."

"Then how did you get in?"

"Xiao Li opened the door for me."

Fan Bingbing handed Ji Yu a glass of water and said, "Drink some water and clean up. Xiao Li and the others are waiting downstairs."

Ji Yu hummed, drank the water, and got out of bed to wash.

Fan Bingbing was helping him pack his luggage.

In the bathroom, Ji Yu said while brushing his teeth, "Just put it away casually, no need to fold it."

"That won't work. The messy clothes are all wrinkled."

Fan Bingbing ignored him and folded his clothes one by one.

Ji Yu came out after brushing his teeth and washing his face. He felt very pleased to see Fan Bingbing working seriously.

"Bingbing, you are so nice."

Fan Bingbing looked back at him and said with a smile, "Is it true or false?"

"Of course it's true." Ji Yu said firmly.

Fan Bingbing joked, "Who is better, me or Xiao Qingzi?"

Ji Yu pretended not to hear and ran to change his clothes humming a song.

Fan Bingbing made a face at his back and packed his things.

After Ji Yu changed his clothes and came out, he looked at her and said, "I'm leaving, why don't you show some appreciation."

"What does that mean? Didn't we have dinner last night?"

"Kiss goodbye." Ji Yu said shamelessly.

Fan Bingbing rolled his eyes at him and just as he turned around to leave, Ji Yu grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.

He kissed her pink red lips, then ran away with his suitcase.

Fan Bingbing stood there in a daze. He raised his hand to touch his lips and muttered softly, "Coward."

Ji Yu, who had run away, seemed to hear it, and turned back, hugged her waist and gave her a passionate French kiss.

Fan Bingbing's breathing became rapid due to his kiss, and she couldn't help but reach out and hug him.

After a long time, Ji Yu let her go, looked at her red face and said:
"I'm leaving now. Remember this kiss whenever you miss me."

Ji Yu turned and left, as if he had made some kind of decision.

Just run away after taking advantage, otherwise Fan Bingbing will definitely kick him when he comes to his senses.

Ji Yu took a bus from Hengdian to Shanghai.

After meeting Lao Cai, the first thing I did was to communicate with her about the issue of the Wesley heroine.

"I want to choose Li Xiaoran to play Bai Susu!"

Ji Yu spoke seriously, which made Lao Cai feel a little unhappy.

"Do you know how much resources this heroine can get in return? What can you get by giving it to Li Xiaoran?"

"Get her heart."

Old Cai chased him and beat him in frustration.

You're using the company's resources to pick up girls, right?

"I'll let you have her heart!"

"Stop right there! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Ji Yu ran very fast, he really wanted to help Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran is not valued in the company. Zhao Baogang is a strange person. He doesn't use people from his own company when filming, but prefers to use people from other companies.

Li Xiaoran had few resources for several years after her debut.

The only good resource the company assigned to her was Wu.

Ji Yu really wanted to help her, but he also felt very sorry for her.

After a man cheats, he will buy a lot of gifts and bring them home.

Ji Yu and Lao Cai argued for a long time before they sat down again to discuss this issue.

Lao Cai said earnestly: "Wei Sili's production company has estimated the cost of the film to be at least 25 million!
Such a large project definitely requires cooperation, and the cooperation partner will definitely need to have a lot of people. "

Ji Yu really wanted to say that he would pay, but then he thought that even if he got all the share, it would not be enough to make a TV series.

With an investment of 25 million, he wouldn't be able to make that much money even if he sold it.

Based on the current wage level and compared with twenty years later, an investment of 25 million is equivalent to 250 million.

It is indeed a huge investment, and Li Xiaoran’s name is really not good.

Ji Yu also knows this truth, but he still has to fight for it.

Seeing him like this, Old Cai sighed and said, "What kind of people do I sign? They are all so philandering!"

Ji Yu felt guilty and didn't answer. He changed the subject and asked, "Did Li Yapeng propose to terminate the contract?"

"He said he would leave after filming of The Condor Heroes was finished."

Old Cai was also feeling annoyed and didn't know what to say to Ji Yu.

Ji Yu smiled and said, "Sister, why don't you go to Xiao Ran's company and ask them about cooperating with Zhao Baogang?"

"Zhao Baogang's resources are all in screenwriting and connections, which is of little help to this drama."

Lao Cai is a businessman. No matter how good he is to Ji Yu, he would never joke about an investment of tens of millions.

Tang Ren doesn't have so much money, and it is even more impossible for Zhao Baogang to come up with so much money.

In the Wesley drama, Lao Cai’s only bargaining chip is Ji Yu.

Now he wants to cast the female lead, will other investors agree? Will advertisers agree?

Moreover, this is an important opportunity for Tang Ren to establish good relations with major mainland TV stations.

It's impossible to do Ji Yu a favor.

At this time, Ji Yu was discouraged and said, "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. Then I won't shoot it."

Old Cai stared at him and said, "Say it again?"

Old Cai is really angry now. He really treats himself as a child and throws all kinds of temper!
"If she knew that you were entangled with Shui Ling'er and Bing Bing, what's the point of you doing all this!"

"You want to marry her, and I'll do whatever it takes to win you over. But the question is, are you willing to do it?"

Ji Yu felt guilty after being accused and had to give up on this matter, but he always felt that Lao Cai was even worse than him.

This is forcing him to just sleep and not take responsibility!

He looked at Lao Cai and asked, "Who are you going to cooperate with?"

"We're still discussing it. I'll let you know when there's news. Go prepare for the concert first."

Ji Yu sighed helplessly, Teacher Li’s road to fame was so difficult.

This play of Wesley is not good, I will take it slowly in the future.
