When the producer heard Ye Qing say this, he understood, but since he wasn't in the industry, he was a little confused: "Even if we film this TV series now, it will take two or three months, or four or five months, to finish filming. The earliest we can air it on TV after post-production is completed is the end of the year. By then, your winter clothes will be on the market, so it's okay even if we film it."
Not being in the same industry, Ye Qing understood and continued to explain more clearly: "When you go to buy clothes, there's usually a sign at the entrance of a clothing store that says, 'Don't enter if you're a competitor, it's considered impolite.' What does that mean? It means they're afraid that if someone sees what styles are selling well in their store, their competitor might also stock the same styles."
Although the earliest the TV series will air on television is the end of the year, since filming has already begun, there are quite a few people on set. If my colleagues find out, they can ask the crew to take a few photos for us, and we'll have everything.
The producer suddenly realized that although he could tell the crew to keep it a secret and strictly prevent any leaks, he thought again that it was hard to say, since there were many people on the crew who might talk too much.
If something really happens as Ye Qing said, it would be a real problem. After all, Ye Qing's studio is quite powerful in the clothing industry, and if the new styles are leaked, the economic losses would be considerable.
Having figured this out, the producer said, "Then we need to find another filming location."
“I do have a suggestion,” Ye Qing said, following the producer’s lead, preparing to introduce Yang Zi’s factory: “It’s also a garment factory. It’s not big, but I think it’s big enough for filming. It’s just that the production team will have to pay for the location.”
After speaking, Ye Qing saw that the producer wanted to say something, but fearing that he might disagree or have objections to the venue fee, Ye Qing spoke up again, cutting off the producer's words: "I am not very clear about your crew's initial investment, but I think that since you rented someone else's factory, you must have paid a venue fee."
Even if we're not worried that our competitors might find out about our new product during filming and have the production crew film at a factory with which we have a long-term partnership, you'd still have to pay for the location, since it's not our factory.
We're just collaborating with them; we have to pay them to produce our orders. Our studio is providing the costumes for the film crew, saving you a lot of money. We can't also cover the venue fees, that would be a loss for us. What do you say, Brother Wang?"
The producer initially wanted to cut costs on venue fees. When Ye Qing said she could help find other venues, the producer didn't intend to refuse payment, but also didn't intend to pay more. Now that Ye Qing had spoken up, it would be awkward to ask for more money.
After all, Ye Qing provided them with costumes, and there's no doubt that Ye Qing got an advertising opportunity, but the prerequisite is that the TV series becomes a huge hit.
Whether the TV series will become a hit is anyone's guess.
However, at present, the production team has received tangible benefits because of Ye Qing's joining. Although they are short on time, the production team's budget is not small. After not having to pay a large sum of money for costumes, the budget seems more relaxed.
It's not that we can't be stingy about venue fees, but the producer just can't bring himself to ask.
So the producer didn't bring up the venue fee again. Although Ye Qing's words were vague, the producer knew that since Ye Qing mentioned other garment factories, he must have some ulterior motive.
As long as the production team is progressing smoothly, Ye Qing's personal desires are actually irrelevant to the producer.
The producer is also a businessman and knows a lot about things. For example, with this contract with Ye Qing's studio, if he had any other options, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry. When he's in a hurry, he's forced into a relatively passive position.
However, although the producer is also a shrewd person who has worked in the business world, it is precisely because he is a shrewd person that he knows when to turn a blind eye and when to turn a blind eye.
If we're being serious and strict, Ye Qing was indeed a lifesaver for the production team.
In comparison to a benefactor, since we have this understanding, the producer won't take it too seriously when necessary. Besides, we might even be able to work together again in the future, so there's no need to make things awkward for everyone over something trivial.
So the producer followed up on Ye Qing's words: "Money is not a problem. As long as our crew can start filming, we will definitely not be stingy with the budget. The question is, what do you mean by the clothing factory you mentioned, Mr. Ye?"
"I haven't talked to them about this yet, but I don't think they'll refuse. After all, they lent the space to the film crew, and you paid for the location, so it's a good thing for them." Ye Qing didn't say that she had already talked to Yang Zi about it, but she still brought up the location fee, which is basically money.
Ye Qing also needs to see how much the production team can offer for the venue before making a decision.
Although Yang Zi's current attitude is to follow the path Ye Qing has laid out for her no matter what, it is still a business, and she can't afford to have too little money. If she has too little money, Yang Zi's resentment will only grow stronger.
In fact, Ye Qing knew that even if he helped Yang Zi get a good price, Yang Zi might not be grateful to him. So even if Yang Zi resented him because of the low price, it would seem to make no difference.
However, Ye Qing still didn't want such an accident to happen. She felt that keeping everything within a reasonable range was easier to control.
The producer understood Ye Qing's meaning after hearing her words. She knew that Ye Qing wanted to get a definite figure from her so that she could talk to the garment factory.
This wasn't something that couldn't be said, so the producer didn't hide anything: "Usually, we calculate the cost of renting a venue on a daily basis. So, if you ask me to tell you right now how much it costs to rent that garment factory, I really can't say. After all, I'm not sure how the coordination is arranged, or how many days we'll be filming at the garment factory. So, it's hard to say how much the final settlement will be. What I can tell you now is that under normal circumstances, we pay approximately how much to rent a venue."
Ye Qing said, "As far as I know, the price for renting a venue varies depending on the location."
The producer nodded: "Yes, so we are very grateful that you let us film your studio and your flagship clothing store this time. Normally, if we were to rent other places similar to yours, it would cost at least 100,000 a day. And we are going to use your company as the main filming location. Since it is the main filming location, filming for ten days would be the minimum. Even if we only consider ten days, it would still cost one million."
