Both the personnel and the investment have been negotiated!

Xia Cong next to him was also very excited. If they could win over Fan Xiaopang, many collaborations would be easier to discuss.

"I will immediately notify the brands we identified earlier and try to attract as many product placements as possible."

"It's not just clothing, jewelry, and cars, but also websites, cosmetics, digital products, and even snacks. You can talk about it, but pay attention to the tone and give priority to mid- to high-end brands."

Wei Yang is short of money, but he will not sacrifice the quality of the entire drama because of it.

In the play, there is an alien who has lived for hundreds of years and a top star. Their costumes and makeup are supposed to be different from those of ordinary people, so that the texture of the TV series will be stronger.

Some snacks are fine, but as for mobile phones, watches, clothes, shoes, bags, and household items, I don’t have to say that all of them must be luxury brands, but they can’t be cheap products either.

Most domestic idol dramas have never been as good as Korean dramas, and some even feel shoddy. Costumes and props have always been the key.

To put it bluntly, I don’t know how to spend money and I don’t know how to pretend.

He plays the role of the prince of a group that is rich enough to rival a country, but his actual living standard is not as good as that of an average rich young man in Shanghai. Even Metersbonwe can make the heroine orgasm.

I have to say something about Guo Xiaosi on this point. Although his method of defining high-end by piling up brands in "Tiny Times" was criticized by many people, the values ​​he conveyed were not recognized by everyone.

But at least the ones they use are genuine branded products, which fits the tone of the plot about quarreling and worshipping money.

He is obviously a rich young man, but he took her to Metersbonwe to pick up girls. Implants are not implanted like this...

That's why Wei Yang was so persistent in finding Fan Xiaopang, and he would accept it even if it meant throwing away millions.

It is precisely because of her fame and high exposure that it is much easier to win her over, whether it is to attract investment or product placement, than to negotiate with Wei Yang with open mouth.

Brands are only willing to contact us when they see Fan Xiaopang. This effect will not occur if other actresses are used.

Wei Yang thought about it and realized that it is actually very difficult to negotiate product placement for brands like luxury goods and luxury cars. They have their own specific user groups and marketing strategies and are not very interested in this kind of product placement.

He had no intention of getting money from a few luxury brands, but even if he could get free sponsorship or loan, it would not be a loss.

According to the preliminary estimate made by Blue Whale Company, the female lead Fan Qianqian alone will have at least 50+ sets of costumes in the crew, and they will also have to match them with jewelry, bags, etc.

A considerable proportion of them require luxury brands. If these can be free, it can save the crew a lot of expenses.

Putting aside the difficulty in paying, let's just talk about sponsorship. Most other brands will definitely charge money, and how much you can negotiate depends on your ability.

However, it would be difficult to expect these product placements to directly cover the filming costs, and Wei Yang would have to find another sponsor himself.

Wei Yang and Lao Xia divided the work again, one discussed investment, the other solicited advertising, and the other contacted the platform.

Some of the most awesome producers don’t need to contact investors at all. Instead, they take the project directly to the platform, sell the drama first, and then get the money to continue filming.

However, Blue Whale probably does not have this ability, but if it can gain support from some platforms, it will be beneficial to the crew, whether in terms of funding or publicity.

After dividing the work, Lao Xia bought a ticket and returned directly to Shanghai, while Wei Yang chose to stay for a few days.

On the one hand, he urged him to sign the contract with Fan Xiaopang as soon as possible to seal the cooperation. On the other hand, there were several businesses that needed him to discuss. Finally, he had another appointment.

…

Beijing, Shabu-shabu Restaurant Wei Yang met Da Mimi and another woman. Da Mimi took the initiative to introduce: "You should have seen this person, my agent Zhao Ruoyao, Yaoyao."

One of the three giants of Jiaxing, Vice President Zhao Ruoyao.

Wei Yang is actually not unfamiliar with this person. Da Mimi's success is inseparable from two people, namely her two agents Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao.

Among them, Zeng Jia is in charge of the overall situation, and Zhao Ruoyao is her deputy, responsible for the specific affairs around Da Mimi.

The three of them worked in harmony and had a close relationship. After Da Mimi left Rong Xinda, the other two always stood by her, joined Meiya one after another, cooperated closely with Huanrui, and finally co-founded Jiaxing.

Wei Yang and Zhao Ruoyao had met during the filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", but they had never dealt with each other. This was the first time the two met in private.

"Hello, Mr. Wei. Sorry for bothering me by following you."

Da Mimi and Wei Yang are at least friends, and their relationship is relatively equal, so Zhao Ruoyao is not so arrogant.

Although Blue Whale, which Wei Yang is currently managing, is not a large company, it has produced two successful idol dramas and is considered to be relatively well-known in the industry. As a mature agent, she knows very well what attitude she should have when facing Wei Yang.

"It's good, let's have fun together."

Wei Yang was not that arrogant. He sat down to eat. Da Mimi took the initiative to heat the bowl and chopsticks for him.

Boss Wei praised: "Xiao Yang is good, he has improved."

Da Mimi gritted her teeth and wanted to say a few words as usual, but when she looked at Zhao Ruoyao next to her, she forced herself to hold back her anger and waited until the food was served to greet them warmly.

"Try it. This is a time-honored restaurant. The meat is shipped from Meng Province and freshly slaughtered. It's fresh and tender."

Wei Yang took a few bites and found the meat to be very good. He dipped it in sesame sauce and chives, which satisfied his taste buds.

It can be seen that Da Mimi really put in some effort this time. In the cold winter, it is really comfortable to sit around the steaming copper stove and eat a pot of hot pot meat.

Halfway through the banquet, the atmosphere was just right, and Da Mimi finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "How was the new play?"

Wei Yang knew she would ask this, so he took a bite of beef slowly and expressed his opinion under Da Mimi's eager eyes.

"who?"

This time it was Zhao Ruoyao who asked the question. She seemed to realize that she had lost her composure and quickly added.

"Don't worry, we know the rules. There's absolutely no way a single word of this will come out of us. We're just a little curious."

"The contract will be finalized in the next few days, so it's okay to tell you."

Wei Yang wasn't worried about the secret being leaked, and Da Mimi didn't have the ability to intercept it, so she revealed it with a smile.

"The one who just left Huayi and started his own company last year."

"Last year, Huayi? It was her!!!"

Fan Xiaopang made quite a stir last year, and since they are all in Beijing, it is not difficult to guess that Da Mimi was sitting in her seat in a depressed mood.

"No wonder you said I'm not popular enough. Compared to her, I'm really far behind."

Seeing this, Wei Yang advised: "After all, there is a few years difference between them, take it slow."

Da Mimi was worrying about fame, and Zhao Ruoyao next to her was completely confused.

It's no secret that Fan Xiaopang is about to enter the film industry. He has made a lot of noise and issued a lot of press releases. Unexpectedly, he has now turned around and taken on another TV series.

Zhao Ruoyao glanced at Wei Yang. He was indeed handsome. Could it be that he had fallen for a beauty trap? Or was this project so good that Fan Xiaopang was willing to postpone the film project.

Zhao Ruoyao was thinking and secretly winked at Da Mimi. The latter received the signal, moved the stool closer to Wei Yang, picked up some dishes attentively, and then asked tentatively.

"Ahem, besides the heroine, are there any other female characters?"

Wei Yang raised his eyebrows: "Do you like the second female lead?"

"I'm not as crazy as you think. I'm also a supporting actress in the roles I'm taking on now. Besides, it's not shameful to play a supporting role to that actress."

"There are roles, but please explain in advance—"

Wei Yang didn't wait for Da Mimi and the others to be happy, and said clearly: "The main roles of this drama are played by the male and female protagonists. The supporting roles have limited roles. The second female lead is a bit of a villain and not very likable. The most important thing is that the budget of the crew is limited, and the pay is a bit low."

This statement actually means a polite refusal.

It would be fine for an ordinary actor to have few parts, unlikable characters, and low pay, but it is really unnecessary for a popular young actress like Da Mimi.

After hearing this, Da Mimi was indeed a little hesitant and did not continue asking. Zhao Ruoyao did have some ideas, but in the end she did not speak.

After the meal, the two sides parted ways. While sitting in the car, Zhao Ruoyao couldn't help but say something.

"I should have taken that play just now."

Da Mi Mi was puzzled: "But there is nothing good about that role."

"But I can do Wei Yang a favor. After all, the more this kind of character is, the more valuable this favor is."

Da Mimi thought: "Do you think highly of him?"

Although she is not as good as Fan Xiaopang, she is also a top-notch young actress in the circle. Even Tangren is willing to offer the heroine of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" to win her over. Not everyone is qualified to ask her to do favors for him.

"He was able to convince Fan Bingbing to act in a TV series, which is something that not many people can do."

Da Mimi was confused: "Then I should find him again and take this role?"

"Forget it. I've already said it all. Besides, I don't think he's very willing. I guess he has someone else as his choice. After all, he still has Zhao Ji under him. There's still a long way to go. There's still a chance to turn around."

It's a pity for Zhao Ruoyao, but she's still holding her ground.

Although I am optimistic about Wei Yang, no matter how much potential he has, it will take some time for him to fully rise. With Da Mimi's momentum, there are many opportunities for the two sides to cooperate in the future, so they will not give up without any bottom line just to do a favor.

Da Mimi was relieved this time. She had been in a low position during the conversation with Wei Yang just now, and she was actually quite upset. She couldn't help but say some harsh words.

"How dare this guy complain that I'm not popular? Sooner or later he'll beg me to act in his play."

"A-choo~"

Wei Yang, who rushed back to the hotel, couldn't help sneezing, wondering if Da Mimi was muttering about him.

To be honest, although he declined just now, it was mainly because he knew the hope was slim, not because he really didn't want Da Mimi to play the role.

After all, her popularity is of great benefit to "My Love from the Star". This drama is a do-or-die battle for Blue Whale and it is a matter of great importance. If Wei Yang can play more good cards, she will definitely not refuse.

If Da Mimi really came to help, Wei Yang would definitely remember her as a favor.

But unfortunately, Da Mimi weighed too many pros and cons and ultimately did not choose to help. This is understandable, but Wei Yang, who was narrow-minded, still made a note of it in his little notebook.

If Blue Whale becomes big, Da Mimi wants to take advantage of it, so she must learn the unspoken rules...

I'm cold due to temperature change. I have a splitting headache. I can't stand it any longer. I'll go to bed and take a rest. I'll post another chapter in the evening. 　　 　 (This chapter is finished)
