In the following week, the promotion of "Zhen Huan Zhuan" was in full swing. The trailer was broadcasted on various major media websites. Although the two popular artists, Qin Ze and Qin Baobao, didn't participate, the gimmick of Qin Ze's first attempt at a TV series still attracted a lot of attention from fans. Coupled with the fans of the actors themselves, "Zhen Huan Zhuan" received a lot of attention.
Even so, the new series wasn't scheduled and Shanghai TV Station and Tian Fang were still arguing.
It was Qin Ze's first attempt at acting in a TV series and he encountered a predicament — his new series didn't sell.
Qin Bao, who thought of herself as a considerate sister, brought Wang Zijin to the Shing Wong Temple to ask for a fortune for Qin Ze. "When the illness is critical, I see no danger. When doctors meet, I will send it to you." The Purple Star retreated under the auspices of the ominous star, leaving it to you to plan.
"See, even Buddha said there's no problem. So, accompany me to go shopping this weekend." Qin Bao Bao put her hands on her hips, full of confidence.
Qin Ze couldn't be bothered to remind her that there was no Buddha in the Shing Wong Temple and that it was a completely different system.
For the actors who acted in "Zhen Huan", they probably hoped that their series would sell more than Qin Ze. Tian Fang and Shanghai TV Station's argument made them lose their composure.
"Chairman Qin, I know the host of the toilet seat. Do you want me to try?" Ye Qing, who had a lot of connections, sent a message.
"Chairman Qin, I know a lot of people in the TV Station. Do you want me to help you?" Qian Shishi, who had a lot of connections in this area, had a lot of connections.
A few other actors also mentioned it vaguely, afraid that they'd make Qin Ze unhappy, so they didn't say it out loud. Actors like Feng Rui, who didn't have the right to text the big boss, also paid close attention to him.
On this day, Qin Ze unexpectedly received a call from the head of Suzhou TV Station. The deputy chief editor in charge of the film industry had the surname Zhao.
The call was transferred through Xiang Yi's assistant. The person who answered the call was his sister. She pressed down on the microphone and whispered to her younger brother who was watching a movie on the sofa, "Suzhou TV Station is calling. They're looking for you!"
Qin Ze immediately went over to answer the phone. His sister gave up her office chair and conveniently placed her two plump buttocks on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck and listened by the side.
"Chief Editor Zhao?" Qin Ze smiled and said, "Are you looking for me?"
He didn't know Chief Editor Zhao, but that didn't stop him from speaking as if he was meeting an old friend.
"CEO Qin, let's get straight to the point. I've seen the trailer for your new drama. I heard that you haven't sold it yet, right? Our TV station is very interested. "
"This … is not very convenient, Chief Editor Zhao," Qin Ze said in a difficult tone, "I have already discussed with the Shanghai TV station. Now we are only bargaining on the price."
It was an unexpected surprise, but he couldn't agree. Su Yu said that hiding his shortcomings was the most basic element of negotiation.
"You haven't signed a contract yet, right? The market is open to the public, not predetermined, right?" Chief Editor Zhao said with a smile.
"That's true," Qin Ze said helplessly.
"That's fine. You and our TV station are old acquaintances. Tomorrow is the weekend. Why don't you send the trailer for us to take a look?"
The reason why Suzhou TV Station was interested in "Zhen Huan" was because of the anticipation on the Internet. Its popularity was actually quite high. As a provincial TV station, Suzhou TV Station had always been in an awkward position of being inferior to the best.
In Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, Suzhou TV Station was inferior to Shanghai TV Station and Zhejiang TV Station.
There hadn't been a popular TV series for many years. With a "thirsty for talent" attitude, they decided to watch Qin Ze's new drama.
Qin Ze's reputation was the best signboard.
So on the weekend, Qin Ze asked Mo Yu to take the trailer to Suzhou. Of course, the errand was done by his subordinates. Accompanying his sister to go shopping was what Haize King should do.
She was so tall and had such a graceful figure. Even if she wore a cap, a mask, and sunglasses, her long hair and alluring figure alone were enough to attract the attention of tourists.
The weather in November was not as stuffy as last month. She was wearing a pair of cropped jeans. Her hips were swaying in a flirtatious manner.
At sunset, she finally stopped to rest after walking until her heels hurt. Sitting on a public bench, Qin Ze was one person away from her.
"Azé, I suddenly regret being a star," Qin Bao Bao said with a sigh.
"Because your vanity is satisfied?"
"What? Am I just a greedy and vain woman in your heart?"
"You wanted to be a star so badly. Didn't you rely on your beautiful face and good figure to show your divinity in front of people to satisfy your vanity?"
She thought about it and was too guilty to refute. She said weakly, "… Well, everyone has vanity. But it's so annoying to be a star. The more popular you are, the more annoying it is. You have to wear a mask when you go out, you have to worry about paparazzi. You have to pay special attention to your words and actions. I can't call you little red guy or black-hearted maggot in front of so many people. "
That seemed to be the case. She had not said these two catchphrases in a long time.
"I can't hold your arm and go shopping anymore. I can't find a cafe with you to sit down and eat dessert. I can't pretend to be your girlfriend at the University of Finance and Economics. I can't …"
"You're so annoying. You chose your own path. It's too late to regret. Even if you disappear, you'll still be a star. When you're old, paparazzi will still take pictures of you and use the title 'The Goddess of the Past Has Become Yesterday'. Popularity is irreversible. "
"That's true. Okay, I'm not self-aware enough."
Qin Bao Bao subconsciously wanted to throw her delicate body into her brother's arms. But with the lesson from the airport, she tilted her body slightly and resisted. The loneliness in her eyes disappeared in a flash.
.....
On Thursday, Qin Ze received a call from the Suzhou TV station again. They wanted to buy "Empresses in the Palace". It was unexpectedly straightforward.
In fact, the Suzhou TV station had a meeting hosted by the deputy director and discussed by a few managing editors. They gave "Empresses in the Palace" the greatest affirmation with their professional eyes. First of all, there was no problem with the quality of the film. If they bought such a film, at least they wouldn't have to worry about it being a flop.
Secondly, there was the price. The rich TV station did not lack money. Compared to the Shanghai TV station, they were more decisive.
Qin Ze took a car to Suzhou that day and both parties signed the contract.
.....
Deputy Director Chen came to visit again. He was prepared for a tug-of-war. When a TV station bought a TV series, it was not as simple as paying for it. After all, it was a business that could easily cost hundreds of millions.
As for the Shanghai TV station, of course, they wanted to buy it. They recognized the quality of "Empresses in the Palace". But considering the low cost, the TV station felt that it was reasonable to lower the price.
Unexpectedly, Qin Ze did not appear this time. The person in charge of negotiating with him was Qin Bao Bao.
"Is CEO Qin not here today?" Deputy Director Chen asked.
"Yes." Qin Bao Bao asked her assistant to serve tea. She smiled and said, "He's busy. Also, he doesn't need to appear for this matter."
Deputy Director Chen did not catch the meaning behind her words. He nodded and said, "CEO Qin, after returning to the TV station, I'll try my best to fight for you. The TV station will agree to increase the price by 20 million at most."
In terms of time, they could afford to waste time. The one who could not afford to waste time was Tianfang Entertainment. However, they could not really insist on not giving in, because the other party did not only have the TV station as their only choice.
Therefore, after wasting some time, the Shanghai TV station chose to take a step back. It seemed that the pressure on Tianfang's side was much heavier now compared to the first negotiation.
Qin Bao Bao smiled. "We really hope to cooperate with the Shanghai TV station. After all, Qin Ze and I grew up watching your TV station. But … "
Once a "but" was added to any good words, the situation would inevitably turn for the worse.
"But we've already sold" Empresses in the Palace "to the Suzhou TV station."
"Sold, sold?"
Deputy Director Chen was shocked and stunned for a while. "Sold to the Suzhou TV station? No, no, we're still in negotiations. "
It was inexplicably intercepted.
Qin Bao Bao said, "Deputy Director Chen, we haven't signed the contract yet. Suzhou is willing to pay a high price. Tianfang has no reason to reject, right?"
This clearly means that I'm not playing with you anymore.
Deputy Director Chen was caught off guard. During the filming of Zhen Huan, many TV stations visited the set. Most of them left because of the price or because they did not think highly of it. In an era where traffic was king, they preferred TV shows with little fresh meat as the lead.
The Shanghai TV station thought highly of the potential of Zhen Huan, so they left it until the end.
Therefore, Tianfang did not have many choices. Even if they found another buyer, it would take time. This was what the Shanghai TV station was counting on.
Who would have thought that in just a week, Zhen Huan … would be sold.
Deputy Director Chen left gloomily. Qin Bao Bao sent him off and returned to the office.
Qin Ze lay motionless on the sofa. His breathing was long, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.
She tiptoed closer and looked at him quietly for a moment. Then, she leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.
"She left?" Qin Ze opened his eyes.
"Ah … Ah, she left." Qin Bao Bao pretended to be calm.
Qin Ze closed his eyes again and scolded in his mind, "System, five years is not enough. How about ten years?"
