Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 73 "Go Go Squid!" is online

Yanjing, Galaxy Media Conference Room
"clap clap"

There was warm applause at the scene.

Gu Yang and Li Qingrong looked at each other and both smiled.

After more than three months of intensive shooting, plus more than a month of post-production including editing, music, and color grading.

The drama "Dear, Beloved" is finally completed!
The whole series consists of 42 episodes, each 50 minutes long.

"Director Li, thank you for your hard work! If this drama is a success, you have made an invaluable contribution!"

"Mr. Gu, you're too polite. If I have to give credit to you, it must be your excellent acting skills. You portrayed the role of Han Shangyan so well!"

Li Qingrong's words came from the bottom of his heart.

She originally thought it was just a game, but she didn't expect Gu Yang's acting skills to be so good. He really deserves to be a movie star who can play the role of Wolf Warrior 2 at such a young age.

Especially recently, his acting skills have suddenly improved by leaps and bounds.

After all this time, you were still holding back on your acting for Zhou Ye during the filming?

What a lovesick seed!
So, he quickly added.

"Zhou Ye's acting is also great. The role of Tong Nian, the internet diva, really suits her...!"

??
It seems that it’s not easy for a director to make a living!
……

After the meeting, Gu Yang returned to his office. Just as he put his feet up on the desk, he heard a knock on the door.

"dong dong dong"

"Enter!"

Zhang Ruonan pushed the door open holding a folder. One button on the collar of his white shirt was undone, revealing an inconspicuous curve.

The black skirt just reaches the knees, and the high heels make no sound when stepping on the carpet, but it makes the waist and hips look particularly neat.

"Brother Yang, I made you some coffee." She put the mug on the table. "Your shirt has become wrinkled from being so busy these past few days. Do you want a new one? I've got some ready for you..."

Gu Yang picked up the cup and took a sip: "Forget about the shirt for now, let's talk business. How are the talks with the sponsor going?"

Zhang Ruonan flipped open the folder and said, "Ever since 'Wolf Warrior 2' broke 50 billion at the box office, those sponsors have completely changed their attitude and have come to us on their own initiative..."

“It’s just a pity about the timing!”

"Hmm," Zhang Ruonan said, counting on her fingers. "The Ministry of Commerce and Director Li have discussed it and are planning to reshoot some scenes and include brands with high bids, like Jeep, Sprite, and Anta!"

"Okay, let them discuss these matters. Please help me book some tickets to Hangzhou for tomorrow morning!"

"Brother Yang, you were still watching in the editing room at three o'clock yesterday, don't get too tired!"

Zhang Ruonan's voice was soft, like a gust of wind.

"I've learned some massage skills recently. Can I give you a massage?"

"Oh?" Gu Yang leaned back and closed his eyes, "Thank you, Nan Nan!"

"Hehe!" Zhang Ruonan walked around behind him, paused her hand at the back of his neck, and then dared to press it gently.

My fingertips brushed against the loose hair on the back of his neck, and the furry hair prickled my palm and made it itchy.

The muscles on his body,

So hard!
"Brother Yang, does it hurt here? Don't cry out in pain! I'm very strong!"

Zhang Ruonan's ears felt hot, and she moved her fingers to his temple and rubbed circles.

"Well, Nan Nan's skills are pretty good!" Gu Yang hummed with his eyes closed.

What the hell is this girl pressing?
Are you sure you are learning regular massage?

The little hands are rubbing there, and although it feels good, it’s really not a massage!

"Nannan, where did you learn this technique?" Gu Yang suddenly asked.

"Oh, my sister taught me this!" Zhang Ruonan came over and blew gently into Gu Yang's ear. "Is it comfortable? Brother Yang, she said this can make men relax!"

After saying that, he continued to blow a few more times.
There's something wrong with you, sister!

"Well...actually, my sister also said that massage should be combined with essential oils to be authentic."

"Nannan!" Gu Yang said seriously, "Your friend is very professional. You should learn from him and give him a massage next time!"

……

"dong dong"

"Enter!"

Agent Zhang Axin walked in, took a deep look at Zhang Ruonan who was giving Gu Yang a massage, and then reported.

"Boss, it's settled. Zhejiang TV and Oriental TV have jointly secured the premiere, one show, two stars."

Since 2015, in order to optimize channel resources and enrich TV drama screens, the General Administration has adjusted the way TV dramas are broadcast during prime time on satellite TV channels and launched the "one drama, two stars" model.

That is, no more than two comprehensive channels may broadcast the same TV series during prime time every night, and no more than two episodes may be broadcast.

"Well, it seems that you still don't have much confidence in our drama!" Gu Yang sneered.

Each episode of "Go Go Squid!" was sold for 220 million yuan and was jointly purchased by two satellite TV stations, with a total sales of 8400 million yuan.

"Boss, it was only after the success of your Wolf Warrior 2 that those TV stations..."

"It's okay, this is normal! We let them take advantage of us this time, but we won't be so lucky next time!"

"By the way, when negotiating with Penguin, Youku, and Kiwi, we don't want a guaranteed commission, just a high commission!"

"Ok!"

Zhejiang Provincial TV Station, Office

"Tai Chen, the copyright for 'Go Go Squid!' has been negotiated!"

Chen Jianguo took off his glasses and tapped the "Gu Yang Artist Commercial Value Assessment" on the report. "What's the price per episode?"

"220 million!" Shen Mingyu handed over the contract. "We'll split the cost with Dongfangtai at a ratio of 4:6. We'll bear the 1800 million down payment!"

“Why two stars for one drama?”

"Gu Yang just became a movie star with 'Wolf Warrior 2', but it's still unknown how the audience will accept his transition to TV dramas. Let's..."

A lot of explanations!

"Smart!" Chen Tai was convinced, and he felt more convinced of Shen Mingyu's abilities.

Good, he is a talent and can be cultivated!

Another dinner party in Yanjing, a private club.

Hou Hongliang, the boss of Zhengwu Sunshine, said, "Old Wang, that kid from your school's new play is going to be aired soon, right?"

Wang Jinsong took a sip of Maotai and said, "Yes, this guy is quite a character. He is quite capable."

"It's first broadcast on Zhejiang Provincial TV and Oriental TV, and it's also being broadcast on Youku and Penguin!" Chen Libo of Guangxian Media poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Didn't they sign an exclusive contract?"

"Who dares to be exclusive?" Wang Jinsong waved his hand. "Penguin is very smart. They didn't guarantee a single cent, but just gave up a 70% profit-sharing agreement."

"You're all smart people!" Hou Hongliang shook his head and said, "Why didn't you invest at that time?"

Chen Libo paused as he picked up some food with his chopsticks. "Do you dare to follow me? Even if he gained some fame for playing Wolf Warrior, he was just a supporting role. Does he really think he's the biggest star?"

"Besides, he's found four platforms to work with. Which one is willing to spend real money on promotion? He'll have to buy the trending searches himself, right?"

A burst of laughter broke out in the private room.

"Young people, you have to fall a few times before you realize that this career doesn't rely on passion alone!"

That night, Gu Yang posted on his Weibo!
"Go Go Squid!" The passionate internet expert Gu Yang and the warm and cute genius girl Zhou Ye sweetly refreshed their championship honors.
