"Congratulations, Mr. Jiang, the new variety show is successful again."
In the Tangren office in Shanghai, Jiang Yan came here to talk about the next Tangren project. After meeting with Cai Yinong, Cai Yinong congratulated her. After speaking, she said with emotion, "How did you come up with such an interesting idea?"
?”
With low investment and big profits, Xingchenhai is envious of many companies and TV stations these days. The same goes for Tangren. Although they don’t do variety shows, they are still greedy.
"Actually, it's not what I thought. I just learned from it and improved it." Jiang Yan said modestly.
"I always watch variety shows, why didn't I find similar ones in foreign countries?" Cai Yinong asked again at this time.
"Yes, Neon has one. It came out in 1997, but that one is a bit difficult and not easy to copy."
As Jiang Yan spoke, he talked about the neon version of the extreme physical challenge show.
Not surprisingly, several people here felt that this was indeed a bit difficult.
Jiang Yan continued, "So I simply improved it. Now this one is good. It can be said to be a brand new program. This way, the copyright dispute is gone, and the copyright can be sold overseas."
"Someone has made an offer? How much can it sell for?" Cai Yinong asked curiously.
"Warner has made an offer, but it won't exceed US$5 million at most. After all, this is the limitation of the program." Jiang Yan said calmly.
"Hey! That's 40 million yuan! Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Cai Yinong drank the tea in one gulp with envy.
Liu Qianqian, who was following Jiang Yan, interrupted and asked, "Wouldn't you make more money by doing it yourself?"
Jiang Yan replied with a smile: "Variety shows and TV dramas are different in nature. What they focus on is localization. It is easy for outsiders to do it. In addition, others are not willing to let you do it. Which variety show in China is outsourced?"
For foreigners?"
"So these are the rules of the game?" Liu Qianqian asked again.
"That's right." Jiang Yan replied with a smile.
"Oh, I understand." Liu Qianqian nodded and continued to drink tea obediently.
And all these questions and answers were in Cai Yinong's eyes, and she immediately realized that this little girl was probably not simple.
Sure enough, Jiang Yan introduced her next. It turned out that this was Jiang Yan's sister, who would be an actress in the future. As for how many more, Jiang Yan didn't say much, and Cai Yinong didn't ask too much.
The topic then shifted to Tangren's next project.
The recent development of Tang Dynasty is actually quite good, but since "The Two Prouds", there has never been a phenomenon-level project with huge ratings.
So this year Cai Yinong decided to make a big production, and "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" came into being.
Jiang Yan is actually quite familiar with "The Female Generals of the Yang Family".
Li Ruotong's Yang Bamei, Li Qihong's Yang Paifeng, Tranquil Mu Guiying, etc. This is the first enlightenment drama for many people born in the 1980s and 1990s to learn about the Yang family generals.
In terms of ratings and revenue, this film is indeed profitable, but in terms of cost-effectiveness, it is a bit miserable.
It was filmed in 2001 and produced in 2002. It was not premiered until 2004, and the ratings did not meet expectations.
However, these are no problems for Jiang Yan, and he doesn't care about them, so he took a symbolic look at the project and then gave an optimistic attitude.
Cai Yinong was also very happy, and then she took the initiative to ask Liu Qianqian: "Qianxi, take the script back and have a look. What role do you want to play and call my sister?"
"No, Sissi won't act." Jiang Yan explained with a smile, "She is only 14 years old and still has to go to school, but we will cooperate in the future."
When Cai Yinong heard this, she was happy and surprised at the same time. She was happy because of Jiang Yan's non-intervention style, and if she was surprised, it was naturally because of Liu Qianqian.
So what followed was a high emotional intelligence rainbow fart: So beautiful, little fairy bala bala.
This made Liu Xiaoli on the side feel proud and worried at the same time. She was afraid that Liu Qianqian would be blown away too much. What should she do if she drifted too far?
But when she saw Jiang Yan beside her, her thoughts were automatically extinguished.
In front of Jiang Yan, everyone will feel ashamed. After all, who can be more perfect than him, so this kind of rainbow fart may be too little for Liu Qianqian...
After chatting for a while, several people had a meal together. At the dinner table, Cai Yinong mentioned Li Yapeng intentionally or unintentionally. Jiang Yan naturally understood her intention. She wanted to attract resources for the artists in her hands.
As for Li Yapeng, although Jiang Yan didn't like him physically, he didn't have any grudges, so he definitely couldn't say he was causing trouble for no reason.
On the contrary, Jiang Yan still wants to get involved. The original version of Yangshi's "The Condor", which will be filmed next year, stars Li Yapeng. Even if Jiang Yan does not intervene, it is likely to be the same in this time and space. And Jiang Yan has no interest in "The Condor", so
So I picked up this favor along the way.
Not for anything else, just out of interest.
No matter whether it is successful or not, the favor can still be earned, and it is much less labor-intensive than cooking a meal.
So Jiang Yan took advantage of the situation and said: "I will talk to the bearded man the day after tomorrow."
As soon as this is said, a smart person will understand it immediately.
This is the case with Cai Yinong.
She knew about Big Beard's next drama, which would probably be "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
This is a big drama for Yangshi!
How many satellite TV dramas can one drama compare to?
As for when the show will premiere, it basically depends on how well "The Swordsman" performs next.
But with Jiang Yan in "The Swordsman", will the ratings be poor?
So if what Jiang Yan said is successful or not, if he is willing to say it, it will be worth a thousand pieces of gold!
Cai Yinong was ecstatic!
So Cai Yinong immediately called for a drink. She would not go out without satisfying Jiang Yan today, but Jiang Yan held her back:
"Don't drink when you drive, don't drive when you drink, please don't hurt me because I just accepted a charity endorsement."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became more lively.
After the meal, Jiang Yan continued to rush to the next stop.
At the same time, Li Yapeng also received a call. After understanding the matter, he suddenly realized that he was just stupid when he hated Jiang Yan before!
So he got excited and asked: What does Mr. Jiang like? I'll be ready...
...
Going to the Magic City to chat with Tang Ren was just a way to stop by. Jiang Yan's main purpose was something else.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yan made his debut in the 2001 Asian Men's Basketball Championship amid cheers.
This time he was not a team member, but only attended as a spectator.
Regarding Jiang Yan's "not doing his job properly", there are almost no objections from the Basketball Association, and even if they have objections, they dare not have any opinions when the leaders of the Olympic Bidding Committee say it. After all, Jiang Yan's efforts are not superficial.
, and it is more important, so this Asian Championship should be used as training for other players.
Compared to the Basketball Association, the public's voice of support is louder. After all, Jiang Yan's strength is there. If he has to use this weapon to play in a regional Asian championship, then the national team will really be worried.
This is also true. Since the start of the Asian Championships, even without Jiang Yan, the national team has won all 6 games, and they are all by big scores. The most important thing is that in addition to Jiang Yan, the other two big killers in the team are Da Zhi.
He and Dayao didn't use their full strength, and they couldn't use their full strength because they were put on the bench within 20 minutes of each game.
However, this also made many people sigh in turn, how great it would be if Jiang Yan came. We also like to watch the cruelty games, and what if we set a record for the largest point difference, right?
Jiang Yan naturally couldn't hear these words, and he wouldn't pay attention to them if he heard them.
What matters to him is the future.
The future of Chinese basketball lies with this big guy in front of us.
"So after talking for more than half a year, they didn't let go?"
At this time, there was no suspense in the game. Behind the bench, Jiang Yan asked Dayao, who had clocked out early.
"We still can't agree on money. A buyout of 15 million US dollars plus 30% of the salary will be handed over. One team, one association, one person and one knife. I can't even drink soup." Dayao looked depressed.
.
The lion opens his mouth!
Jiang Yan was speechless.
Dayao became the No. 1 pick in the NBA Wizards this year. This news made the whole country excited throughout June. However, everyone in the industry knows that after the Asian Games, whether Dayao can successfully go overseas will become the focus of public opinion.
A buyout of 15 million U.S. dollars. At this price, Yao will not be able to get enough of the maximum salary every year in the future.
And there is still 30% of the salary that needs to be divided. You must know that the real money NBA players receive is only about 40% of the salary. If you add this to the salary, you really can't even drink the soup.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Yan asked.
"Retire!" Dayao said angrily.
"Okay, I'll retire with you!" Jiang Yan didn't hesitate.
Dayao must go to the NBA. If he doesn't go, even if Jiang Yan is included in the men's basketball team, the gold medal will not be retained.
After all, the importance of super centers in the international arena is too great!
Therefore, Jiang Yan was very big and Yao had no scruples at all.
He actually said this last year, but Yao obviously didn't mention it to the team, so the superiors felt that the matter was not serious.
But it doesn't work now. Without some serious treatment, this disease really cannot be cured.
"You sit down, I'll make a call."
After saying that, Jiang Yan patted Dayao on the shoulder and left directly.
Dayao looked back at Jiang Yan and did not stop him, because he knew that when things got to this point, apart from this method, it was really difficult to find a quick and effective method. Therefore, at this moment, he looked at Jiang Yan with gratitude in his eyes.
.
On the other side of the phone, Jiang Yan naturally would not say harsh words directly, but explained the interests and risks clearly, mentioned the importance of Dayao again and again, and hoped that the superiors could get more involved, and the money issue was all over the place.
It's a small problem, but we have to give people a way out. The Olympic bid has been successful, so how come sports matters have become rigid?
After speaking softly, Jiang Yan finally expressed his attitude, that is, if it really doesn't work, I won't play anymore.
When the person on the phone heard this, he naturally tried to persuade him with nice words, but since Jiang Yan had made his attitude clear, he naturally had no reason to let go easily.
If you don’t have a firm attitude, how can you get people to take you seriously?
The person on the other end of the phone finally took it seriously and said seriously that he would study it carefully.
After making the phone call, Jiang Yan returned to the court.
"I've said what needs to be said, keep in touch." Jiang Yan said calmly.
"Okay." Dayao nodded and said nothing more.
Half an hour later, the Chinese team defeated Syria by a huge score of 95 to 45 and advanced to the final. The opponent in the final was the Lebanese team, which had a conflict with the Chinese team in the group stage.
This game is destined to be full of gunpowder, but Jiang Yan has no time to watch.
At 10 o'clock that night, Jiang Yan met Han Sanpin in the capital.
This trip to the capital, in addition to telling Lao Mouzi that he could not spare two months to play "Hero" due to time constraints, was also for a project, that is "Shaolin Football".
In the original time and space, the release of "Shaolin Soccer" encountered great obstacles due to various problems.
There's the "Shaolin" aspect, there's the "football" aspect, and there's also the issue of early release without approval.
In this time and space, Jiang Yan will naturally strictly control the release of films without approval.
As for the first two problems, we actually encountered them when the film was submitted for review and approval.
But "Shaolin" is easy to solve. After all, Jiang Yan is a brand, and people will give him some face.
But "football" is different.
According to Han Sanpin, the qualifying situation for the national football team in the World Cup preliminaries is very good these days. Qualification is almost certain. If it does qualify, although its influence is not as good as the Olympic bid, it will not be too far behind.
So a group of people swelled up, and after the swell, they complained about the film to Radio and Television in the afternoon.
It stands to reason that if people in this area really have an opinion, they would have to wait until after the movie is released and people feel that the color of the whistle is not appropriate before they complain.
But now, before "Shaolin Soccer" is released, people are complaining.
The nails are so long that they can reach the other side of the Pacific Ocean!
Jiang Yan was naturally angry about this.
But as angry as I am, things still need to be resolved.
How to solve it? Han Sanpin is not as convincing as Jiang Yan in sports, so Jiang Yan still has to think of a solution.
Jiang Yan also understands that when a movie is not just a movie, it is really difficult for the current Han Sanpin to handle it.
So he immediately called someone he knew from the Sports Bureau.
But unfortunately, Jiang Yan's front foot just lost a nail to the Basketball Association, and his back foot ran into the focused and rooted football, and the matter suddenly became complicated.
"Xiao Jiang, I'm not telling you, can we not be so impulsive in doing things?"
When faced with the leadership, Jiang Yan was not discouraged at all. He still maintained his confidence because he had already entered the world of "Shaolin Soccer", which meant that there was no problem with its release, it was just a matter of time.
So Jiang Yan continued:
"Boss, let's go back to the same code one by one. Just ask the other side to tell me what changes I need to make before I give them money or face. I can make them look decent."
"As for this matter, we still have to take our time..."
"Boss, are you really that good at football? That's great, I'll go to Europe next year to play football. To be honest, football is my strongest point!"
"Xiao Jiang, don't be joking!"
"Leader, I hope I am joking. I also hope that things can be discussed smoothly. You know me. I have a good temper and am recognized as a good person. But good people also have tempers. You don't want things to get messy.
It’s getting beyond control, right?”
"...Wait for my call." The other person said after a long silence.
"Okay, I won't make any other calls before August 1st."
"...Okay, wait for my news!"
"Hard!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yan uttered the most vicious curse in front of Han Sanpin:
With this group of people here, there is no hope for that ball in 20 years!
When Han Sanpin heard this, he didn't have much impression. He just felt that Jiang Yan was crazy. He comforted him: "Calm down, don't you still want to sing the World Cup song? You have to meet them then!"
"Then after the World Cup, there will be no hope in 20 years!"
"Okay, okay, you're right!" Han Sanpin looked at Jiang Yan who was having a childish temper and couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't consider that maybe what Jiang Yan said was true...
(I received a reminder that a lot of things can no longer be written, so I have to cut a lot of them. This chapter may not last long, but I won’t change it after it’s written. Alas, some of the things I prepared can no longer be used. I’m tired. Next chapter.
I will skip these topics in Chapter 1 and start to speed up the progress, aiming to finish it in November.)
