What was social relations?
It was a complicated network of people connected to each other.
With Sabei Neng at Central TV, Ian could directly meet with Director Zhang from the production center. With just a few words, the matter of being affiliated was settled. If they followed the normal procedure, even if everything went smoothly, they would have to waste at least a month's time.
No matter which era it was. Time was the most precious!
If he wasted too much time on becoming an affiliate, Ian wouldn't be able to effectively make use of the two-month summer vacation of the class. He would lose a batch of free actors and labor.
This continued.
Although Ian would definitely be able to film Martial Arts Legend, the cost would definitely exceed 200,000.
If it were anyone else, a difference of one month could very well represent the life and death of a project…
It was the same for Zuo Xiaoqing.
Ian looked at Zuo Xiaoqing and went straight to the point."Little Qing, I happen to have something to do. Can you help me?”
Zuo Xiaoqing glanced at Ian with a faint smile and said,"If there's anything Little Qing can help Teacher Su with, feel free to say it. I won't refuse.”
"It's like this."
Ian said,"I brought your juniors and brothers to film a sitcom. We were originally planning to broadcast it on Central TV, but they were only willing to pay 5000 yuan per episode. The price was too low.”
"I'm going to Hunan Province this time to discuss this drama with Mango TV.”
"Since you're going to Mango TV, do you have any connections?”
Ian was very magnanimous. He didn't hide anything and told her what had happened.
"Ah, just this?"
Zuo Xiaoqing was stunned when she heard this, and there was a hint of complaint in her tone.
Ian was also stunned. He wondered what kind of reaction this was. What did she mean by "just this"? Why did Zuo Xiaoqing sound a little disappointed and grumpy?
Zuo Xiaoqing looked at Ian speechlessly.
[Teacher Su, this stupid blockhead, is still the same as when she was in school. She doesn't understand romance at all. Didn't he know how many girls secretly liked him back in the Film Academy?]
Sigh, but then again, it's a good thing Teacher Su has such a personality. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so popular with girls.]
Of course, Zuo Xiaoqing was a little resentful.
Think about it.
A man and a woman met on a train. What a romantic encounter.
At this time, a boy who used to be a teacher suggested asking a girl who was only a student to help. Anyone would think the wrong way…
Romances in the 1990s were more reserved.
It all started when you helped me, and I helped you…
Originally.
Zuo Xiaoqing thought that Teacher Su had finally come to her senses and knew how to find excuses to flirt with girls.
He didn't expect it to be just business.
"Is there a problem?"
Ian looked at Zuo Xiaoqing strangely.
Zuo Xiaoqing shook her head listlessly." Of course, no problem. I'm just going to introduce you. I'm going to Mango TV as a streamer, so I was going to invite the leaders of the station to thank them. With Teacher Su accompanying me, I feel more at ease.”
"Alright, thank you, Little Green." Ian smiled.
However…
If you agree, then so be it. What's wrong with your listless face?
In short.
The matter was settled.
The next 30 hours of journey was not as boring because of Zuo Xiaoqing's company.
Nothing else happened along the way.
A day and a night later, Ian and Zuo Xiaoqing arrived in Hunan Province amidst the sound of the train's horn…
After arriving in Xiang Province, with Zuo Xiaoqing, a local, leading the way, the journey was smooth.
They found a hotel to rest for the night.
Of course, they booked two rooms. Nothing happened that night.
The next day, Su Ye and Zuo Xiaoqing sat down together with the leaders of Mango TV for a meal.
During the banquet, they only talked about the past and did not talk about business.
After the meal, the host and guest were happy.
Another day later, Ian and Mango TV's purchasing department director sat down together to watch the sample of "My Own Swordsman". Then, both parties officially began to negotiate the price.
"The film is very good. Sitcoms have been the trend for the past few years.”
Mango TV's purchasing department director gave a very high evaluation after watching the sample."But Mr. Su, we've also heard some rumors that Central TV is offering a price of 5000 yuan per episode. To be honest, this price is neither too high nor too low. If Mango TV wanted to offer a price, I'm afraid it wouldn't be higher than this.”
Upon hearing this, Ian became more certain.
It was not unusual for Central TV's offer to be leaked.
After all, they were all in this circle. It was too easy to spread the news.
Moreover…
If Mango TV was also infiltrated by the Beijing circle, then they wouldn't say these things directly. Instead, they would lure you into it.
Ian smiled and said calmly,"Central TV's offer involves some personal grudges, so I won't go into details." However, Director Liu, you've seen how 'My Own Swordsman' looks like. I'm asking you to look at it from another angle."”
"If Mango TV was broadcasting My Own Swordsman at the same time slot at 8pm, and Central TV was broadcasting some other TV series, what do you think would happen?”
Director Liu of Mango TV was stunned for a moment. He pondered for a moment and his breathing suddenly became heavy.
Good heavens, this Ian actually wanted to challenge Central TV?
But on second thought.
With the quality of My Own Martial Arts Legend, it was really possible for it to defeat Central TV in the primetime slot at 8 PM!
However…
If that was the case, did it mean that Mango TV had been tied up by Su Ye and was on a different path from Central TV?
Director Liu hesitated for a moment.
After all.
In this day and age, Central TV was still the undisputed giant.
Mango TV was only a provincial station after all. Although they had relied on Da Qing to make a name for themselves in the first half of 1997, they still had their habitual mindset and did not dare to challenge Central TV.
The prime time at 8 pm was a battleground for military strategists!
Ian smiled. He saw Director Liu's hesitation.
"Like this."
Su Ye suddenly said,"As long as Mango TV broadcasts 'My Own Swordsman' at 8 pm, 5000 yuan per episode? No need! He didn't want a single cent. He would broadcast it on Mango TV for free!”
Huh?
At this moment, Mango TV's Director Liu was completely dumbfounded.
A drama that could rival Central TV was given to Mango TV for free?
This was simply a fantasy!
Even though he was the director of the purchasing department of the television station and had seen countless television dramas in his life, his heart was beating wildly for a moment and he could not calm down.
"But I have a condition."
Su Ye smiled at Director Liu and said," I want to sign a viewership rating bet agreement with Mango TV.”
Huh?
What was a gambling agreement?
Director Liu was completely dumbfounded…
