Chapter 334 Even the Parents Must Be Clearly Accounted
Although Gu Siqing didn't know much about the film and television industry, she did know their general profit model. She said, "We can sell the copyright to TV stations, and then there are advertising fees."
"Advertising fees?" Gu Erhui asked.
Gu Siqing explained to her, "It means that you can insert advertisements during filming. For example, you can shoot a scene where the protagonist goes to our supermarket to buy things, and then give a close-up of the supermarket's front door. You can also let the characters in the TV series mention our supermarket when they are chatting, etc., but..."
"That's possible." Gu Erhui said before Gu Siqing finished speaking.
She thought Xiao Si's idea was great. Their supermarket would be expanded nationwide in the future. If they could increase their visibility through advertising, it would definitely be easier to operate.
Gu Siqing hadn't expected her to agree so quickly, and added, "But I don't know much about this either. I need to find a professional to make a budget."
Gu Erhui looked at Zhang Zijun and said, "I'll leave this matter to you."
Zhang Zijun naturally agreed, "No problem, but..." He looked at Gu Siqing and said, "Xiao Si, when the time comes, please arrange a role for me where I can speak and show my face. I think acting is quite fun."
Gu Siqing looked at him and said, "If you've ever thought about becoming an actor, I'll write you a script for a play. You can find a director to shoot it and then go home and watch it every day. The script is about a bully who robs a beautiful girl. I'll let my second sister play the beautiful girl and you play the bully."
Gu Erhui laughed out loud, but Zhang Zijun was serious. He said, "No, let's change the script. I don't want to be a bully, but a noble son."
"Don't worry, there's more to come." Gu Siqing said, "You snatched the girl back and didn't do anything awful. Instead, you treated her very well. Gradually, you developed feelings for her. Then, you worked hard and stopped being a bully. In the end, you and the girl lived a happy life together."
Zhang Zijun was stunned by what he heard. "Xiao Si, you were born to be a writer. Look, you can tell this story right off the top of your head."
Gu Siqing said modestly: "It's just a random thought."
After changing into his own clothes, it was already noon and the crew had started to rest, so Sang Kaiji had some free time.
Gu Siqing found a few places with interesting scenes in the Grand View Garden and took several photos in each place. After that, the three of them had a meal with Sang Kaiji.
After returning, Gu Siqing began to consider adapting "Whose Childhood Is Not Troubled" into a TV series. She had never been a screenwriter, but because she loved writing and had read some scripts in her previous life, she basically knew how to write a script.
She plans to adapt "Whose Childhood Is Not Troubled" into a humorous sitcom, which will still reflect issues such as children's childhood education and psychological development.
During dinner, Gu Erhui talked about her idea of filming a TV series and advertising for her family's supermarket. Gu Jianguo thought it was a good idea, and Wang Yueju also said that she would set up a four-piece suit factory immediately so that she could also do advertising.
Gu Siqing watched them chattering endlessly about the benefits of advertising. She put down her chopsticks and tapped the table. After Gu Jianguo and the others stopped talking, she said, "Shouldn't we also discuss the issue of advertising fees?"
Filming a TV series is very expensive, and even the parents have to be clear about the bill!
"What advertising fees?" Wang Yueju asked.
Gu Siqing: Are you pretending to be stupid?
"Mom, filming a TV series costs money. Hiring directors, photographers, and actors costs money. Costumes, props, and so on also cost money. Where does the money come from? First, from selling advertising, and second, from selling copyrights." Gu Siqing smiled flatteringly at Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju: "Sponsor dad, sponsor mom, please be generous with the advertising fees!"
She opened her eyes wide and smiled flatteringly, like a cat begging for food obediently, which made everyone laugh. Gu Jianguo said quickly: "Generous, absolutely generous, give my daughter as much as she wants."
Wang Yueju also smiled and said, "Yours is indispensable."
"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Gu Siqing said and looked at Gu Yimin again, "The machine can also be used for advertising, don't you think so, sister Jinzhu?"
Gu Yimin couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, I'll discuss this with the real sponsor."
Gu Siqing looked at Gu Erhui again, "You are also a sponsor, talk to Jun Ge."
Everyone couldn't help themselves anymore, but Gu Siqing continued to eat calmly. Her advertising was still easy to pull, and the business of these people at home could just be combined.
She did what she thought, and after dinner she started writing the outline of the script. However, she didn't stay up too late, and went to bed around nine o'clock. After all, she was a sophomore in high school and her studies were still very intense.
The next morning while eating, Gu Siqing said to Gu Erhui, "Please hurry up with Director Jun's matter."
Gu Erhui nodded, "Don't worry, I'm also very concerned about this matter."
If the TV series becomes popular, their supermarket will also receive a lot of publicity, and then it will be easier to expand into the national market. Thinking of expanding into the national market, Gu Erhui felt full of energy.
Gu Siqing felt relieved after hearing her words, and pushed her bicycle out. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Kang Yuanze riding his bicycle past, so she also got on her bicycle and headed to school. When she arrived at school, there was still some time before class, so she took out her textbook to prepare.
After a while, her deskmate Qu Anyi arrived. After she sat down, she whispered to Gu Siqing, "I heard the Central Academy of Drama's art exam results are out, and Zheng Tong from Class 1, Grade 3, passed."
Gu Siqing turned her head and looked at her: "Do you also want to apply to the drama academy?"
Qu Anyi leaned close to her and whispered, "I want to, but I'm not particularly pretty and I don't have much confidence."
Gu Siqing smiled. "Who says you have to be beautiful to be an actor? TV shows and movies reflect the various aspects of life. There are definitely beauties and ugliness in life, as well as beautiful women like you, good and evil, warmth and coldness. So good acting skills can overcome everything. Besides, you are very beautiful!"
Qu Anyi was stunned by Gu Siqing's words. After a while, she said exaggeratedly, "Gu Siqing, you are indeed a grade skipper. You speak differently and with great class."
Gu Siqing was happy, "So, do you really want to apply to the drama academy?"
Qu Anyi sighed, "I don't know either. I don't think my parents would agree. They thought that if I couldn't get into university, I would go back and take over their job as a factory worker."
"I think if you have a dream, you have to give it a try." Gu Siqing said this, thinking in her mind that when she was selecting actors for her "Whose Childhood Is Not Troubled", she could let Qu Anyi give it a try, maybe she could succeed.
Sometimes, relationships really depend on fate and magnetic field. She and Qu Anyi were quite predestined, and their magnetic fields also matched. For a classmate like this, she would naturally help if she could.
