Chu Tianyao opened a luxurious private room and led Du Guoying and Lu Qiuyu to meet Director Ma from the capital.
The Huaxia International Art Center was established with the approval of the Economic and Trade Commission. It has had many TV series production projects. This year's TV series "I Love My Family" which is going to be very popular is produced by the International Art Center.
And Director Ma Jingquan is the chief producer in charge of this drama.
In the private room, the person who brought Ma Jingquan was a lovely girl in her twenties, whom Lu Qiuyu said was her best friend Wang Bingbing.
Chu Tianyao met him last time when he photographed wild giant pandas in Dazhu Township.
"Director Ma, this is Mr. Chu from Xingyao Winery!"
As soon as he entered the door, Wang Bingbing introduced him to the people next to him with a smile.
Wearing a suit, with a middle-aged beer belly and a few stubborn strands of hair on his head, Ma Jingquan glanced at Chu Tianyao in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that the famous CEO of Xingyao Winery would be so young."
Ma Jingquan smiled and extended his hand to Chu Tianyao, speaking a Beijing-style Mandarin.
Chu Tianyao stretched out his hand to shake it and said with a smile: "Director Ma, you're welcome. Please sit down."
With that said, the two of them sat down on the sofa in the private room. The colored lights in the private room flickered, and Lu Qiuyu motioned to the singer on the side to play a song.
Not long after, a waiter came in carrying a fruit plate and drinks.
"Mr. Chu, you are so enthusiastic when we meet for the first time. I, Ma, am really flattered!"
Ma Jingquan glanced at the things on the table and couldn't help but grinned at Chu Tianyao.
Although he is the director of the Art Center, to put it bluntly, he is a little-known figure in a place like Beijing.
Before coming, he naturally inquired about Chu Tianyao's identity.
The sudden invitation from a man like the boss of Xingtang Xingyao Winery, a big boss with a business valuation of several hundred million, naturally surprised Ma Jingquan.
"Mr. Chu, we are wise people and don't tell secrets. If there is anything going on, just tell me directly. I, Ma Jingquan, am just a nobody. You are treating me like this for nothing!"
Ma Jingquan is certainly not stupid as a person who can mix in the circles of the capital. He knows that when someone like Chu Tianyao invites him, he must have something to ask for.
But his power and circle have nothing to do with industrial bosses like Chu Tianyao.
The more this happened, he was extra cautious when attending the banquet tonight.
"Director Ma is indeed a quick talker."
Chu Tianyao opened a bottle of red wine himself and poured a glass for Ma Jingquan. He secretly scolded this guy for being tactful, and said at the same time: "In that case, let me tell you straight... I know that Director Ma has been a producer of many TV series.
Filmmaker, I came to see you this time because I have a business deal and I hope to cooperate with Director Ma."
"cooperate?"
Ma Jingquan was also surprised when he heard this.
"Mr. Chu, I'm just a producer. It's okay if you ask me to make a movie. I really don't know what I can do with you in this business matter?"
Ma Jingquan was also confused, not knowing what kind of medicine Chu Tianyao was selling in his gourd.
"I love this drama about my family. Director Ma is the chief producer, right?"
Chu Tianyao picked up the wine glass, shook it slightly, and then looked at the person in front of him.
"Yes, this is a sitcom we filmed last year and was produced by our International Art Center."
Hearing this, Ma Jingquan nodded, and then looked at Chu Tianyao curiously, "Why, Mr. Chu also wants to invest in filming a TV series?"
Recently, due to the influence of Hong Kong films, many big bosses in China are thinking of investing in making movies. When Ma Jingquan heard Chu Tianyao's words, he thought that Chu Tianyao also wanted to raise money to make movies.
In this way, we can cooperate with the art center.
"It's not that I want to invest in a TV series. I just want to talk to you about advertising placement in TV series."
Chu Tianyao explained aloud.
"Ad placement?"
Ma Jingquan was also stunned.
"That's right, I plan to pay to embed our factory's product advertisements in the drama I Love My Family. Since Director Ma is the producer, I hope to establish a connection through Director Ma."
Chu Tianyao expressed his thoughts, but these words made Ma Jingquan open his eyes even more.
It’s not that he doesn’t know what advertising placement is, but there seems to be no such case in China at present.
"Advertising placement is something that only exists abroad. Although there are sponsors in the TV series produced by our art center, there has never been such a thing as advertising placement."
Ma Jingquan clicked his head in embarrassment, and the few hairs on his head floated to the side.
"Besides, the show I Love My Family has been online for 40 episodes, and the next 80 episodes have been filmed. It is not convenient to place advertisements at this time...Besides, the leaders of the art center may not agree to this kind of thing.
.”
With a troubled expression on his face, Ma Jingquan was about to refuse Chu Tianyao. After all, he, a mere director, could not make the decision in this kind of matter.
"Don't worry, Director Ma. Why don't you show my sincerity first?"
Before Ma Jingquan could refuse, Chu Tianyao took out a check from his handbag and handed it to the person in front of him.
Ma Jingquan looked unconcerned. There were many companies approaching the art center for advertising sponsorship, and he was not someone who had never seen money.
Just when he was about to reach out and refuse, he turned his eyes and suddenly saw the number on the check.
No more, no less, two million!
"Chu, Mr. Chu...are you kidding?"
Ma Jingquan looked straight at the check in front of him. He was afraid that he would be dazzled. He rubbed his eyes vigorously to confirm that he had read it correctly.
The number on the check is actually two million!
You know, although the TV series produced by the Art Center usually have many sponsors, the names of these sponsors will also appear in the sponsor list when the TV series is broadcast.
But to put it bluntly, an advertising sponsor only costs more than ten or two hundred thousand, and he has never seen anyone so generous.
"Not counting the forty episodes aired earlier, I hope to shoot an extra two seconds of product placement in the eighty episodes that will be aired later. The beer from our factory should appear at least once every two episodes, preferably...
It can fit into the plot.”
Chu Tianyao put forward his request, and the excitement on Ma Jingquan's face instantly calmed down a bit.
"Mr. Chu, I have never seen such a request like yours. I dare not agree to this rashly. Please wait until I go out to call Chairman Wang of our art center."
Ma Jingquan hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to reject Chu Tianyao, but when he saw the check Chu Tianyao put on the table, he couldn't resist.
Immediately, Ma Jingquan walked out of the nightclub private room and used the landline at the front desk to make a call to the art center office in Beijing.
