Chapter 104 Dinner Party (Part 1)
Lin Chenxi was also curious when she heard it. She originally thought that even if screenwriter Wang said no, she would still buy the script. Now screenwriter Wang actually praised it so much.
"Come on, tell me what the story is."
Screenwriter Wang began to recount the main characters and plot, with Jiang Ningyue supplementing the story. Lin Chenxi's eyes sparkled. She was a wealthy second-generation, but she wasn't clueless. On the contrary, she had thriving businesses.
The trick is very simple, that is to leave professional matters to professionals.
All she had to do was give him the money.
"Very good."
Lin Chenxi smiled and said, "We've decided to film this drama. Yueyue, let's do this. Let's sign an agreement. If this drama doesn't become a hit, I'll give you two million. If it does, you'll get 20% of the profits."
Although Jiang Ningyue didn't understand the market, she roughly knew that 100,000 yuan was the standard price for a new screenwriter. Lin Chenxi's offer of 2 million yuan was something she couldn't even imagine.
"Isn't that a bit too high?"
"How can it be so high?"
Lin Chenxi took Jiang Ningyue's hand and said, "The screenwriter is the soul of a TV series. If this TV series really becomes a hit, then you will be the first to contribute. By the way, wasn't there a middle school boy in the play just now? Can we change it to a middle school girl, and have you make a cameo appearance?"
“It’s not easy.”
Jiang Ningyue shook her head and said, "I only know that news anchors can't endorse commercial products, but I don't know if journalists can participate in TV dramas."
To maintain the purity of news, CCTV has stipulated that news anchors and programs cannot accept commercial endorsements. If "People's Livelihood 30 Minutes" were to accept advertising fees, I believe many companies like chemical plants and mines would be willing to invest a small amount.
However, as many TV stations face funding constraints, this rule seems to have been relaxed, and advertisements have appeared in news programs at many city, district, and county stations.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Ningyue continued, "Besides, I have no interest in filming."
“This is your first play.”
Lin Chenxi advised, "If you participate, it will definitely become a hot topic."
"Forget it." Jiang Ningyue shook her head. "I'm usually so busy with work, how could filming take more than a month or two? I still can't do it."
"All right."
Lin Chenxi felt a little regretful, and screenwriter Wang also sighed.
Jiang Ningyue looked at the two of them in confusion, "What are those expressions on your faces, both of you?"
"fine."
Lin Chenxi changed the subject, "So, for this TV series, should we seek cooperation with your TV production center?"
"It depends on you guys. Of course, cooperation is better."
"Um."
Lin Chenxi nodded. "Then I'll organize a meeting in the next few days. Let's have dinner together. By the way, do you know the director of the Radio and Television Bureau?"
"I've seen him before, but I'm not familiar with him."
Jiang Ningyue said frankly, "But Sister Yan is the person in charge of the Radio and Television Bureau. You can just go to her and it will be over."
"Am I crazy?"
Lin Chenxi's expression was very exaggerated. "Going to her for such a small matter?"
Jiang Ningyue thought about it and agreed. For business people, the municipal party secretary was a high-ranking official. Going to the vice governor for such a trivial matter must have been mentally ill.
"I'll try to make an appointment, and you must come then!"
"Okay."
Jiang Ningyue thought this was also for her own project, so she agreed.
Before leaving, screenwriter Wang held back for a long time and suddenly said, "Teacher Jiang, can we take a photo together?"
"Oh, sure."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and nodded.
Screenwriter Wang was overjoyed, standing beside Jiang Ningyue and giving a "yeah" sign. Lin Chenxi pulled out his phone and took a photo of the two of them. Screenwriter Wang was so excited after receiving the photo that he tried to suppress the urge to show off until he got home, but he couldn't help himself.
It was posted in the 'Mengyue' super topic.
[Family, I met Yueyue! She's absolutely stunningly beautiful, with a wonderful personality! She's incredibly gentle and absolutely perfect!]
This Weibo post immediately received thousands of replies.
【envious! 】
[I'm from Haizhou and have met Jiang Ningyue. But she was working, so I didn't dare to disturb her.]
[One more comment above, Yueyue has such a strong aura at work.]
[They're not celebrities, so isn't it just common courtesy not to disturb them?]
Jiang Ningyue doesn't pay attention to things on Weibo. If she did, she would have discovered the fan fiction in the "Mengyue" super topic.
Of course, in addition to the super topic on Weibo, Jiang Ningyue has also been paired with many female stars on Station B.
She quickly became one of the most popular people in the lesbian circle.
On the other hand, Lin Chenxi's efficiency is really high. On March 27, Lin Chenxi sent a WeChat message to Jiang Ningyue, making an appointment to have dinner together on the evening of the 29th.
On the 29th, Jiang Ningyue drove to a villa complex in the city. Inside this villa complex, there was a "private kitchen" restaurant. Jiang Ningyue had never been to this restaurant before, and she searched for it on the group buying app, but couldn't find it.
After parking the car, Jiang Ningyue got out. Lin Chenxi was already waiting at the door of the villa.
"Yueyue!"
Lin Chenxi smiled and waved at Jiang Ningyue, "You came quite quickly."
"It's okay, this road is not too congested."
Jiang Ningyue said casually.
Lin Chenxi glanced at Jiang Ningyue's car parked at the door. "Mercedes-Benz E63S, this car is good. Do you want to park it in the basement?"
"Need not."
Jiang Ningyue said indifferently, "This is Gu Meng's car. I'm just driving it for a while."
"oh."
Lin Chenxi nodded. At this time, Qian Hong, the director of the Taiwan Television Production Center, arrived with three people. When Qian Hong and his men saw Jiang Ningyue, they were obviously stunned.
Although the few people were not familiar with Jiang Ningyue, they naturally knew her as a celebrity in the station.
"Xiao Jiang, why are you here?"
Director Qian asked curiously.
Lin Chenxi smiled and said, "This drama was written by Xiaoyue. Without her, there might not be this drama."
A few people were a little surprised after hearing this, but didn't say much.
"Is Director Liu not here yet?"
"Not here yet."
Lin Chenxi gestured, "How about you all go sit inside for a while?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Let's wait here."
For journalists like Jiang Ningyue, Director Liu of the Radio, Film, and Television Bureau wasn't considered a direct supervisor; as long as they didn't offend him too harshly, they didn't need to give him too much face. However, for the TV drama production center, the power to approve TV dramas lay in the hands of the Radio, Film, and Television Bureau, so maintaining a good relationship with Director Liu was crucial.
About 10 minutes later, Director Liu's car finally arrived. After the car parked in the underground garage, Director Liu took the elevator and walked up slowly, followed by several people.
Several people immediately rushed over and enthusiastically surrounded Director Liu. Director Liu was undoubtedly the most senior of the group. He no longer had the same friendly demeanor as that day. With his bulging belly and slightly raised chin, he looked very much like an official.
His bald head even reflected light under the fluorescent light, making him look a little funny.
Jiang Ningyue didn't go over and seemed a little lonely.
However, Director Liu immediately noticed Jiang Ningyue, and the arrogant expression on his face immediately disappeared, becoming very kind. "Hello, reporter Jiang! I didn't expect you to be here too!"
