Chapter 727: Is it great to have a good father?
After agreeing with Tao Huimin, Xu Fan withdrew money from the bank to complete the transaction. In the evening, Tao Huimin asked her to drive, only to find out that this girl could not drive at all and did not even have a driver's license.
Tao Huimin couldn't help laughing, "Look at you, why did you buy a car if you can't drive!"
Xu Fan said, "You can learn if you don't know how to do it. If you miss a female Bodhisattva like you, you will lose her."
Her flattery made Tao Huimin smile and asked, "So how do you plan to get the car away?"
Xu Fan said: "It's okay, wait for me to call someone."
After she finished speaking, she went to make a phone call. Before leaving get off work, a thin man came to the entrance of the People's Art Theatre.
Xu Fan and Tao Huimin were leaving get off work together and happened to see the thin man waiting at the door.
"Feng Xiaogang!" Xu Fan called him by his full name, and it seemed like they had a good relationship.
Feng Xiaogang heard Xu Fan's greeting, turned around and just as he grinned, he saw Tao Huimin standing next to Xu Fan, and his smile froze.
"Teacher Tao!" Feng Xiaogang walked closer and greeted Tao Huimin.
Xu Fan was surprised, "You know each other?"
Tao Huimin briefly explained, and Xu Fan smiled and said, "That's great, we are all acquaintances!"
After chatting for a while, Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan got into Tao Huimin's BMW and headed back to their residence.
Lin Weimin had just returned home and saw Feng Xiaogang getting out of Tao Huimin's car. Not knowing what was going on, Tao Huimin told him about the car sale.
Lin Weimin didn't care about Tao Huimin selling the car. His eyes were on Feng Xiaogang with some meaning. Feng Xiaogang looked slightly embarrassed.
Xu Fan was cheerful and outgoing. When he saw the crown parked there, he asked, "Teacher Tao, can I go up and take a look?"
"The car is yours, you can look at it however you want!" Tao Huimin said with a smile, and handed the keys to Xu Fan.
Xu Fan got into the car happily and touched it left and right. Tao Huimin always took good care of her car and this old Crown was in very good condition even though it was old.
While Xu Fan was looking at the car, Lin Weimin was "chatting" with Feng Xiaogang.
"How did you meet?"
"Filming."
"You have a good relationship, eh?"
“It’s just so-so.”
"You usually come to help others drive?"
"She is the heroine of 'Forever Young'. I am here to help her and I can even reduce her salary."
Lin Weimin gave Feng Xiaogang a look and said, "You kid, you are kidding me!"
Feng Xiaogang felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Lin Weimin.
Skipping the awkward topic, Lin Weimin asked about the situation of "Forever Lost My Love".
After his last persuasion, Feng Xiaogang decisively gave up the project of "Good Dreams for You" and turned to study "Forever Lost My Love" with Wang Shuo.
Changing the direction really achieved miraculous results. The two worked together and wrote the script in just over half a month. Now the crew is being set up and Xu Fan has been confirmed to play the leading female role.
After Xu Fan finished looking at the car, Feng Xiaogang went to help her drive. Before leaving, he looked at Lin Weimin again, feeling very guilty.
Tao Huimin looked at the back of the Crown driving away and asked faintly: "Xiaogang and Xu Fan..."
"People like him are despicable! He~tui!"
Teacher Lin did not hesitate to draw a clear line between himself and Feng Xiaogang.
Tao Huimin looked at him speechlessly and said, "I mean, they probably haven't reached that stage yet!"
ah?
Did you misunderstand the leader's intention?
But it doesn’t matter, the key is to show loyalty!
"That's right. Xu Fan is as beautiful as a flower and has a bright future, but he doesn't like Xiaogang's face."
Tao Huimin said: "Not entirely. Xu Fan's previous boyfriend was handsome and famous, but so what? He still got hurt. "
Lin Weimin nodded and said, as long as it doesn't scratch me, whatever the leader says is right.
Two days later, the crew of "Police True Colors" started filming and Lin Weimin went to show his support.
The story of "Police True Colors" is not complicated. It is a crime-solving drama with criminal police captain Wei Dong as the protagonist. Various cases are the real protagonists of this TV series.
"A Better Tomorrow" has a good cast, including the male lead Zhou Liqing, the female lead Song Chunli, and a familiar face "San Dezi" Zhao Liang in the supporting roles.
"Police True Colors" is a short drama with only 10 episodes. The crew is not large, with less than 40 actors and staff members combined.
Ren Hao is very enthusiastic about his work. After the lively opening ceremony, he went straight to the actual shooting, racing against time.
Liu Yanming, Zheng Xiaolong and Lin Weimin gathered together and chatted while watching the actors perform.
With the sharp rise in prices in recent years, the cost of TV drama production has also been rising. "Police True Colors" was invested 1.2 million yuan to shoot only 10 episodes, with a single episode cost of 120,000 yuan. This price is already top-notch in today's TV drama market.
Ren Hao and Hai Yan also wanted to make this a benchmark police and criminal drama, and they put a lot of effort into the script.
Ren Hao has been deeply involved in spy war dramas and police and gangster dramas in recent years, and Hai Yan also has "Plainclothes Police". Another screenwriter Wei Ren also has some outstanding works. In addition, the starring lineup includes well-known actors such as Zhou Liqing and Song Chunli. Regardless of the quality, "Police True Colors" is very eye-catching just in terms of appearance.
Liu Yanming and Zheng Xiaolong have connections with CCTV and Yanjing Television respectively. "Police True Colors" has no worries about sales at all. The key lies in the price, which involves the quality of the TV series.
Nowadays, the film review of TV stations is not monopolized by middle-aged women. When buying TV series, people still look at the creative lineup and the quality itself, and they don’t have any particular preference for the genre.
In the early days of the domestic TV drama market, CCTV was the only dominant player. Because of its abundant funds, it offered the highest prices.
But in the past two years, satellite TV channels have been launched in various provinces in large numbers. With the expansion of the audience, they have made a lot of money from advertising fees and have been more generous in bidding for dramas than before. Although the bids of many satellite TV stations still cannot reach the level of CCTV, the problem is that you can sell to several satellite TV stations, but only to CCTV.
Because CCTV usually has the exclusive broadcasting rights for TV series, other satellite TV stations can only broadcast them twice. The price of second-round broadcasting rights for TV series is much lower than that of first-round broadcasting rights, which is equivalent to reducing the profits of the producers in disguise.
"You can organize a few TV stations to visit the set later," Lin Weimin suggested.
Liu Yanming instantly understood what Lin Weimin meant. It was a trip at public expense!
"Teacher Lin, you are really thoughtful!"
It doesn’t matter whether you buy it or not, the wool comes from the sheep anyway.
The start of filming of "Police True Colors" can be regarded as the first shot fired by the Copyright Operation Department of Guowen Publishing House in copyright operation.
Logically speaking, the best way to operate copyrights is to "make money out of nothing". When Guowen Publishing House releases a copyright, a bunch of companies rush to invest. But who can blame this kind of thing for being so unheard of in China? There is no example to refer to when making promises to the sponsors.
Therefore, in the early stage, we can only use this seemingly stupid method.
However, this approach also has its advantages, which is that it will provide a more solid foundation and can also train a group of talents.
"Xiao Liu, come to the set more often when you have time and learn from their experience. These things will be useful in the future."
On the way back in the car, Lin Weimin explained to Xiao Liu.
Feeling the editor-in-chief's earnest desire to cultivate him, Xiao Liu nodded solemnly, "I understand, editor-in-chief!"
The booming third Yanjing International Auto Show came to an end. That week, a long report titled "What We Are Watching" became the most eye-catching article in the domestic press.
In the era of reform and opening up, the Chinese people have given full play to their spirit of learning and are willing to learn anything foreign and advanced.
Also this month, the government promulgated China's first industrial law, the "Industrial Policy for China's Automobile Industry."
Feeling the beating pulse of reform and opening up, many grassroots heroes who made their first pot of gold in the tide of reform and opening up have focused their attention on automobiles, the jewel in the crown of industry.
For a while, the domestic automobile market was in turmoil.
In this era, Qu Xiaowei's business as a street vendor became unsustainable and he could no longer do it.
It cannot be said that the business cannot be continued. The main reason is that there are too many stall owners now, the competition is too fierce, the capital is small and the profit is thin, and the income is not commensurate with the effort.
Qu Xiaowei thought about it and made a difficult decision.
Stop the stall!
"Okay, don't worry! With your father around, your worry seems so hypocritical!" Lin Weimin comforted with a gloating look.
"roll!"
Qu Xiaowei was very depressed and said, "You don't understand at all. Standing on the tide of the reform and opening-up era and bravely taking the lead is the mission and responsibility given to our generation by the times. We must shoulder the heavy responsibility of reforming and transforming this country..."
Qu Xiaowei was talking nonstop there, and Lin Weimin hugged Qu Xiangnan and asked, "Who does your father usually interact with?"
"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu who set up the stall together."
Lin Weimin looked at Liu Haiyan again, "Haiyan, please keep your Xiaowei away from those people!"
"I said this group of people led him astray!" Liu Haiyan said angrily.
"I'm saying don't let your husband lead her astray!"
Liu Haiyan glared at Lin Weimin even more angrily.
Tao Huimin pushed Lin Weimin and said, "Behave yourself."
Qu Xiaowei also said: "You don't understand at all!"
"You know. You've been running a stall for several years, but I haven't seen you become big or strong."
In Lin Weimin's opinion, people like Qu Xiaowei are those who have high aspirations but lack the skills to achieve them, and he is only good at being a young master.
To really start a business, regardless of whether or not one has the brains, just the ability to endure hardship is not enough.
Qu Xiaowei ignored Lin Weimin's sarcasm and said, "I'm also puzzled. You said that when I was young, I was successful in everything I did. Why is it that now that I'm older, I feel like I can't do anything?"
Lin Weimin's face was full of question marks. He really wanted to ask Qu Xiaowei, who gave you this illusion?
"Then tell me, what did you accomplish when you were young?"
In line with the principle of punishing past mistakes to prevent future ones and curing the disease to save the patient, Lin Weimin asked the question thoroughly.
Qu Xiaowei racked his brains, "Writing?"
"Give up halfway." Lin Weimin said mercilessly.
"Well, at least I got into the Institute of Literature Research. There are only 34 people in the country!"
When talking about this, Qu Xiaowei's face was full of pride. He probably boasted about it in front of Qu Xiangnan at home.
With the child here, Lin Weimin felt embarrassed to criticize him too much.
"That's right. There are only so many people in this class. This can be considered a highlight of your life!"
Qu Xiaowei was not happy when he heard this. "How can you talk like that? What do you mean by it counts? It is what it is."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Lin Weimin perfunctorily said a few words, and then asked: "Now that you don't practice anymore, do you plan to work peacefully? Or do you want to do something else?"
As soon as he said this, he felt Liu Haiyan's foot kicking him from below. He immediately understood and changed his words: "I think it's good for you to just focus on your work. You are in your prime now. If you work hard, you may be able to get a director level position before you retire."
Qu Xiaowei curled his lips, "How rare is that director level?"
Lin Weimin wanted to hit someone because of that arrogant look!
What’s so great about having a good dad?
