After Xiao Yunhai finished, Xiao Yuanyang gave him a thumbs up and said, "You're really something. I really thought it was Old Peng sitting here just by listening to his voice."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Us actors rely on this to make a living. Uncle Liang, Brother Yuanyang, is this matter important to your side? "
Liang Qianqiu shook his head and frowned. "Our Ministry of Culture has never been involved in this matter. This should be considered a normal business negotiation, and it's between the two parties. It has nothing to do with the Ministry of Culture. "
Xiao Yuanyang smiled and said, "This Old Peng only knows how to do this kind of thing. I can tell you that he's just trying to pull a tiger's skin. What big picture? That's pure nonsense. How can two TV series affect the big picture? Don't worry about it. Let's just talk about it. Don't worry about him. "
Zhao Mingsheng was puzzled and asked, "Then why did Chief Peng come all the way here to pressure us?"
Xiao Yuanyang narrowed his eyes and said, "Old Peng is anxious. In recent years, South Korean TV series are very popular in Hua Xia, and the ratings are very high. But our Hua Xia's excellent TV series are not doing well over there. Because of this, Old Peng is often criticized by his superiors. This time, when he saw the popularity of 'Step by Step' and 'Legend of Empresses in the Palace', he probably wants to use these two TV series to win back some face for himself. "
Liang Qianqiu said, "If that's the case, then Chief Peng seems to be too eager for quick success."
Xiao Yuanyang raised his glass and said meaningfully, "But I heard that he has a good relationship with those foreign TV stations. Haha …"
Zhao Mingsheng and Xiao Yunhai immediately understood what Xiao Yuanyang was trying to say. He was telling them that Peng Ximao might be colluding with those people to lower the price.
Zhao Mingsheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Minister Liang and Chief Xiao. As long as it's not a political mission, everything will be fine. "
Liang Qianqiu looked at Xiao Yuanyang in confusion. He did not understand why the latter was so direct. One must know that in the government, one would always keep half a sentence to himself.
Xiao Yuanyang's words were equivalent to telling Zhao Mingsheng and Xiao Yunhai to be wary of Peng Ximao. Once Peng Ximao found out, wouldn't he bear a grudge in his heart?
Was it worth it for Xiao Yunhai?
For Liang Qianqiu to be able to become the vice minister of the Ministry of Culture with his own abilities, his wisdom and foresight were naturally top-notch.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that Xiao Yuanyang and Xiao Yunhai looked somewhat similar. Furthermore, the way Xiao Yuanyang looked at Xiao Yunhai was very different from how he looked at other people. When he thought of the fact that both of them had the surname Xiao, Liang Qianqiu suddenly had a frightening thought.
"Xiao Yunhai can't be the young master of the Xiao family, right? This won't do. I must go back and check how many brothers there are in the second generation of the Xiao clan. "
Liang Qianqiu's mind raced. When he thought of this, his tone became even gentler. "The influence of 'Step by Step' and 'Legend of Empresses in the Palace' in Hua Xia is incomparable to that of any other TV series. Tiger Liang's mother used to be a workaholic. She often worked overtime at the company at night. However, ever since 'Legend of Empresses in the Palace' aired, she never worked overtime again. She watched it on time every night. Now that Jibei TV Station is airing it for the second time, she did not let it go. She said that even if she watched it ten more times, she wouldn't be annoyed. Yunhai, I have to say that this TV series you filmed is really good. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "I'm really flattered that 'Legend of Empresses in the Palace' can receive such special treatment from Auntie."
Because 'Legend of Empresses in the Palace' had broken the highest viewership rating of 33%, which was much higher than the 25% stated in the contract, Jibei TV Station once again aired it during prime time.
Eight episodes had already been aired, and the highest viewership rating had broken the 10% mark again. It had become a legendary TV series for the second time. Shen Minghui, the director of Jibei TV Station, was so happy that he called Xiao Yunhai for a full hour.
In the competition with 'Legend of Empresses in the Palace', Mango TV's' Chu River and Han Border 'had lost completely. Although it had also obtained a legendary viewership rating of 14%, it was still far from' Legend of Empresses in the Palace's 36%.
Xiao Yuanyang suddenly asked, "President Zhao, Yunhai, did you offend someone? Some time ago, I found that Hanhai Film's films had been put on the last day of the review. Even 'Legend of Empresses in the Palace' was only issued a screening permit after almost a month. "
Hearing Xiao Yuanyang's words, Xiao Yunhai glanced at Zhao Mingsheng. After getting his tacit approval, Xiao Yunhai told him about the Tian family.
When Tiger Liang heard that Tian Junhao actually dared to have ideas about his sister-in-law, he immediately became angry and said, "That bastard! When I see him, I'll teach him a good lesson!"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Don't mess around. This Tian Junhao is not simple. His martial arts are similar to yours, and he's also trained to the point of internal strength. "
When Tiger Liang heard this, his eyes lit up and he happily said, "That's great! I was just looking for someone to compete with."
Liang Qianqiu angrily said, "Don't make trouble for me. Old Master Chen specifically called your mother and told you to stay at home and copy the Tao Te Ching once a day. When you go back, you have to bring it to him. "
"Is that true?" Tiger Liang asked with a long face.
Liang Qianqiu snorted and said, "Of course it's true. Old Master and your mother just talked on the phone last night. If you don't believe me, you can check the call history on your mother's phone. "
Tiger Liang stretched his legs and said, "It's over. It's so hard to get a holiday, and now it's gone."
Liang Qianqiu helplessly shook his head and then said to Xiao Yunhai, "You've offended Deputy Minister Tian, so you have to be careful in the future. He's a very powerful man, and there seem to be many of his people in the Film and Television Bureau. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I understand. Fortunately, the relevant regulations of the cultural industry have been perfected. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would have been shut down by him. "
Xiao Yuanyang chuckled and said, "He's already made his move. It's just that you don't know about it."
Xiao Yunhai asked in surprise, "What do you mean by that, Brother Yuanyang?"
Xiao Yuanyang briefly recounted his conflict with Yang Lihe at the morning meeting and said, "You must be careful in the future. Don't let anyone catch you in the slightest. Otherwise, there's nothing I can do."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Yuanyang. If it weren't for your righteous words, I'm afraid my 'Empresses in the Palace' might not have been able to air. "
Zhao Mingsheng said, "Director Xiao, with what you said at the meeting the other day, will the review of Hanhai's movies and TV series be back to normal?"
Xiao Yuanyang smiled and said, "Should be. Director Zhang was furious because of this and asked the review department to improve their efficiency. If Yunhai cursed again and it was verified, that director would have to leave naked. Even if he had ten times the guts, he wouldn't dare to do it again. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved. Yesterday, I just submitted my movie to the review department. I thought it would take a month to get the screening permit. Now it seems that I won't have to wait that long. "
"You made a movie? What kind of movie? How much did you invest? "Xiao Yuanyang asked.
"A school comedy with less than thirty million in investment. It's considered a low-budget movie," Xiao Yunhai said.
Liang Qianqiu laughed and said, "Yunhai, then you'll have to have a drink with Director Xiao. He's in charge of the movie schedule and scheduling."
Xiao Yunhai's eyes lit up when he heard that.
Whether it was in his previous life or this life, there was a saying that the movie theaters were king in the entertainment industry.
Hua Xia had very strict control over the movie theaters and there were only four of them.
Among them, Hua Xia Movie Theater was a state-owned movie theater chain that covered the first, second, and third tier cities in Hua Xia. It was managed by the Film and Television Bureau and had 43000 screens, occupying 60% of Hua Xia's market share. It was the real boss.
Then there were the veteran Hua Feng International Movie Theater and Hundred Flowers International Movie Theater. They were both controlled by famous companies and occupied 14% and 17% of the market share respectively.
Finally, there was the newly joined Starlight Movie Theater. With the super high box office of Grandmaster and two other excellent movies, it quickly entered the eyes of Hua Xia's movie fans and occupied 9% of the market share with thunderous power.
For Xiao Yunhai, if Charlotte's Troubles could be screened in Hua Xia Movie Theater, it was definitely something that he wished for.
Xiao Yunhai raised his wine glass and said to Xiao Yuanyang, "Brother Yuanyang, let's not talk too much. Find a better schedule and don't need a lot of screenings. Just give me fifty percent."
"How much? Fifty percent. "Xiao Yuanyang pointed at Xiao Yunhai and scolded with a smile," Kid, you can say that. With your thirty million investment, it's already good enough that I can give you five percent. Of course, if your movie performs well, I'll definitely give you more screenings. But if the movie doesn't do well, there's nothing I can do. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled confidently and said, "Five percent it is. I believe that my movie will be able to shine brightly and get more screenings. "
Xiao Yuanyang chuckled and raised his wine glass and clinked it with Xiao Yunhai's. "I like the confidence of young people like you. How about this? There doesn't seem to be any blockbusters released recently, so I think we can arrange it a week later. By the way, how are you going to publicize it? "
Xiao Yunhai forced a smile and said, "What's there to publicize? I'm the only celebrity in the entire cast, and the other main creators are all students. I can only rely on word of mouth to publicize it. "
Xiao Yuanyang shook his head and forced a smile, "I'm convinced. You can still be so confident with such a lineup. You're really ignorant and fearless. "
The banquet was a joyous one for both the guests and the host. Two hours later, the banquet ended.
On the way back to Hanhai Company, Zhao Mingsheng looked at Xiao Yunhai and said, "Thank you, Yunhai. I know that they can come here this time because of your face. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "You're too polite, Uncle. I've always been grateful to you. If it weren't for you and Auntie giving birth to Wan Qing, where would I find such a good wife? "
Zhao Mingsheng laughed and patted his shoulder, saying, "I'm really relieved that Wan Qing can be with you. When are you going to let your parents come over? "
Upon hearing it, Xiao Yunhai looked embarrassed and said, "My parents might not be able to come. I don't know why, but they never come to Beijing. "
Zhao Mingsheng was surprised and said, "Is that so? It seems that your parents must have some unspeakable troubles, right? It's alright, I'll go to Yunan with your Auntie. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Thank you for understanding us, Uncle."
