Fortunately, he had the foresight to talk to Guo Zongming first, and things finally worked out perfectly. Li Changle said in a relaxed tone, "Then it's decided, Director Guo. Ji Zizhang should find you when the time comes, and you two can work together. It would be a shame if Director Guo missed out on such a classic work as Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."
Guo Zongming burst into laughter after hearing what Li Changle said. "You are quite confident, kid. Although I also think that Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is indeed a classic, but don't be so happy too soon. I also have conditions."
Li Changle was surprised for a moment. Guo Zongming rarely made requests of him, and he didn't know what Guo Zongming was trying to say. He immediately said, "Director Guo, please feel free to speak."
"In the past, you were in charge of the music and soundtracks for the Chinese Paladin series. It's reasonable to say that you should also be in charge of the same for Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. Isn't that right?"
"That makes sense." Li Changle nodded without hesitation. He would do it even without Guo Zongming telling him.
"Secondly, I know you have a good brain. I believe that both The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils and the The Return of the Condor Heroes trilogy have probably been played through your mind thousands of times. Asking you for some advice on the casting matter shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Li Changle immediately understood what Guo Zongming meant when he heard this, and immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry, Director Guo, these are not a problem. I just said that the way we filmed the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is no different from when you filmed the Chinese Paladin series at Penguin Pictures."
After receiving Li Changle's assurance, Guo Zongming finally agreed with satisfaction. After learning that Guo Zongming was willing to be the director, Ji Zizhan went straight to Guo Zongming's residence without hesitation, looking very anxious.
As the newly appointed director of the Film and Television Department, Ji Zizhang made quite a stir right from the start, spending a huge amount of money to buy out the copyrights of the She Diao Trilogy and Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. This was because the director was his uncle, otherwise the approval would have been impossible.
But even so, the pressure that Ji Zizhang is under is obviously very great. Spending so much money will inevitably be criticized.
If the TV series Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils does not achieve success, then his career as the director of the film and television department will probably be over. It is hard to say whether he will be able to direct variety shows on Mango TV in the future.
However, Ji Zizhang is still quite confident about Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, or rather, he is confident in Li Changle and Guo Zongming. The Chinese Paladin series is indeed very popular, and Ji Zizhang is taking a gamble. After all, they have the same original author and director, and Ji Zizhang believes that Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils will not be worse than the Chinese Paladin series.
Ji Zizhang acted very quickly. After Li Changle and Guo Zongming had an agreement, he went to find Guo Zongming and signed the contract on the same day.
First of all, this treatment is obviously higher than that of Penguin Pictures, and Ji Zizhang almost agreed to all of Guo Zongming's requests, showing great sincerity. Guo Zongming had to say that he was moved by Ji Zizhang's sincerity.
"Now everything is finally ready, only the east wind is missing. Although it cost a lot of money, I believe that Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils will definitely be a phenomenal TV series next year." Ji Zizhang was saying confidently to his uncle, the station director.
Ji Ming, who was sitting at his desk with his reading glasses, was handling official business. After listening to Ji Zizhang's words, he did not raise his head and continued to look at the documents on the desk.
After a long while, he slowly spoke: "These matters are up to you to decide. You have always had good vision. I hope to see results next year."
"Okay, uncle." Ji Zizhang agreed quickly.
Ji Ming put down the documents in his hand, raised his head and said seriously: "I've told you many times, you have to call me Director in the station."
Ji Zizhang quickly changed his tone and said, "Okay, I understand, Master."
Ji Ming nodded in satisfaction, then seemed to remember something and continued, "I heard that Mango TV's reputation isn't very good in the eyes of the public right now. That's why I was able to strive to help you secure so much funding. I hope you won't let me down."
Ji Zizhang was quite respectful in front of his uncle and said quickly, "Uncle, don't worry. I will do this for you beautifully and will never embarrass you. I will strive to bring honor to you!"
Ji Ming glanced at Ji Zizhang again, too lazy to dwell on the question of whether he was his uncle or the station director. He continued, "I've looked at the recent online reviews, and many netizens seem to have a strong prejudice against Mango TV. This is a very bad situation. Although reputation can't be changed immediately, you have to slightly change people's prejudice against Mango TV."
Ji Zizhan has been so busy these days that he is almost dizzy. Obviously, he is not very clear about this matter. After hearing what Ji Ming said, he quickly took out his mobile phone and took a quick look. He saw that most of the pictures showed extremely negative views on Mango TV's remake of Li Changle's martial arts work.
Ji Zizhang's brain raced for a moment, and then he said confidently, "Don't worry, uncle. Leave this matter to me. The reputation will be reversed soon. And I guarantee that by next year, our Mango Channel will be the satellite TV station with the best reputation in the industry!"
Ji Ming didn't take Ji Zizhang's boastful assurance seriously. He just glanced at Ji Zizhang and said seriously, "I want to see the results. Don't tell me these nonsense. There's no one here. If someone is here and you say something like this, and they take it seriously and you don't follow through, you'll have a hard time."
Ji Zizhang shuddered. Honestly, he had indeed been bragging a bit. Seeing Ji Ming speaking to him so seriously, which was rare, he was a little flustered. After calming down, he humbly said, "Okay, I understand, uncle."
