Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

After Shi Wenyan returned to TVB, she immediately reported to Fang Yihua everything Lin Daoqiu did and what she said to her.

When she heard that Lin Daoqiu was going to help TVB film a TV series, although Fang Yihua felt strange, she was still a little happy in her heart.

"Is Mr. Lin very free recently? And even if he really wants to film a TV series, shouldn't he be filming for ATV? Why did he come to us?"

Fang Yihua really couldn't understand what Lin Daoqiu's purpose was for doing this?

And according to what Shi Wenyan said, the protagonist of Lin Daoqiu's play was a young man who had just entered the artist training class.

Although the more she thought about it, the more strange she felt, but if Fang Yihua was asked to refuse this matter now, I believe she would also disagree.

After all, the film and television dramas written by Lin Daoqiu were right there in terms of ratings and box office. He had never failed, so he had no reason to reject him.

After thinking for a while, Fang Yihua decided to agree to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu this time. It was just a TV series. Even if the filming failed, it would not be a big problem for TVB.

"What do you want Mr. Lin to ask for?"

What Fang Yihua wants to know now is what Lin Daoqiu requested.

"Mr. Lin said that he hopes that this drama will receive full support from TVB, and that there will be no upper limit on the budget. He will have the final say on how to film it, and no one else is allowed to interfere."

"This kid is still as arrogant as before, and his temper really hasn't changed."

After having dealt with Lin Daoqiu several times, Fang Yihua seemed to have become accustomed to Lin Daoqiu's temper. In Fang Yihua's opinion, these requests he made were almost normal.

"By the way, how much remuneration does he plan to ask for?"

Fang Yihua suddenly remembered that this was a TV series, not a movie. The calculation of the revenue earned by the TV station from this show was very complicated. Naturally, it was impossible to distribute it to Lin Daoqiu according to the share, so it could only be paid to him in the form of remuneration.

.

"Mr. Lin's remuneration...he said that it would be enough to give him two million."

After Shi Wenyan finished speaking, she immediately saw Fang Yihua's eyes slowly widening, which was not a good sign.

Asking TVB to pay him two million to make a TV series, only Lin Daoqiu dared to offer such a price. If it had been anyone else, Fang Yihua would have scolded him to death.

"Two million? I'm afraid Mr. Lin has made too many movies and doesn't understand the market of TV dramas at all. Tell him that TVB can only give him 500,000 for this drama. If it doesn't work, forget it."

For Fang Yihua, paying half a million was considered to be a sky-high price for TVB. You must know that at this time, no matter whether you are a screenwriter or a director, it is already amazing to get a salary of 50,000 to 100,000 for a movie.

Although Fang Yihua also knows very well that even if they spend two million to hire Lin Daoqiu, they will make a lot of money, but the problem is that this is not a movie but a TV series, and the income is not that exaggerated.

"Okay Miss Fang, I know what to say to Mr. Lin."

After Shi Wenyan finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave Fang Yihua's office, but she was stopped by Fang Yihua just as she raised her feet.

"When you talk to Mr. Lin, you must be careful and try to get him to agree. If it doesn't work, you can add a little more, but it must not exceed one million."

Fang Yihua didn't want to mess up this matter. If Lin Daoqiu could agree to it at a price of 500,000, it would naturally be the best for Fang Yihua.

The fact that Fang Yihua wanted to lower the price seemed to Lin Daoqiu to be completely normal, so when he heard what Shi Wenyan said on the phone, Lin Daoqiu did not feel any surprise.

"If that's the case, then I'll give it 880,000 yuan to get a good deal. If that doesn't work, I'll go to ATV to film it."

Lin Daoqiu casually gave an amount.

"No problem, Mr. Lin, just as you said, 880,000."

Shi Wenyan quickly agreed. She did not think that Lin Daoqiu was retreating in order to advance, but that he could do so without any doubt.

"The director asked Li Tiansheng to be the actor. As for the actors in this play, I will choose them myself. That's it. I'll quit while I'm busy."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Before Shi Wenyan on the other end of the phone could finish her words, she heard a beeping sound coming from the phone.

…………

In addition to the protagonist, other characters in a good TV series are also very important.

After choosing Andy Lau as the protagonist of this drama, Lin Daoqiu still had to find a few suitable supporting roles, and the people he wanted to choose naturally came from within TVB.

The next day, Lin Daoqiu came to the TVB.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw Shi Wenyan and Li Tiansheng standing at the door waiting for him.

"Producer Li, I have admired your name for a long time."

Lin Daoqiu stepped forward and reached out to Li Tiansheng.

Li Tiansheng quickly shook hands with Lin Daoqiu, with a bright smile on his face.

Yesterday, when Li Tiansheng was preparing to go home from get off work after filming the drama, he was suddenly called to Fong Yihua's office to discuss something.

When he heard Lin Daoqiu named him to be the director of this play, countless question marks suddenly appeared in Li Tiansheng's mind.

Because he had no friendship with Lin Daoqiu at all before this, how could the other party find him to be the director of this drama? Li Tiansheng couldn't even figure it out.

Just because Lin Daoqiu named him to be the director, Li Tiansheng didn't have a good rest the whole night after he went back, and his eyes were still a little dark when he woke up in the morning.

Before Lin Daoqiu came, Li Tiansheng specifically asked Shi Wenyan, but the other party didn't know why Lin Daoqiu made such a decision, and just asked him to calm down.

"Mr. Lin is so polite. I don't have a great reputation. It's my honor to assist you in filming a drama this time."

Li Tiansheng knew very well that although Lin Daoqiu named him to be the director, he believed that he as a director did not have much room to perform in this film.

The script of this drama was written by Lin Daoqiu. When the time comes, all he has to do is follow the script and he should have no involvement in other matters.

"Just let Producer Li accompany me, and I won't bother Miss Shi."

It seemed that Lin Daoqiu wanted to talk to Li Tiansheng about something, and Shi Wenyan immediately nodded in understanding.

"In that case, I'll go up first. If Mr. Lin needs to do anything, just tell Producer Li directly. If he can't handle it, you can also come to me."

After Shi Wenyan finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving only Li Tiansheng and Lin Daoqiu.

"Producer Li, let's go to your office to talk."

Lin Daoqiu never thought about talking to Li Tiansheng about this drama in the lobby.

Upon hearing this, Li Tiansheng quickly nodded in agreement, then made a gesture of invitation to Lin Daoqiu, and then took Lin Daoqiu to his office.
