Xie Peilan said without hesitation, "Du Zhong and I will prepare some equipment and herbs tonight. We will leave tomorrow morning." Li Rui saw that Xie Peilan didn't mention anything about the consultation fee and only cared about saving lives. He was very grateful and said, "I'll have to trouble you two." Xie Peilan said, "We're all friends, why are you being so polite?" Li Rui saw that she was so straightforward and did not stand on ceremony. He said, "Okay, then you guys go ahead. I won't take up any more of your time."
After hanging up, Li Rui called Zhang Hui and asked her to do a simple task.
After Zhang Hui heard this, she was very confused and said, "Director, what are you doing? I have never accepted this kind of task. "Li Rui said," Get it done first. Call me when you are done. I will go and get it from you. "He hung up after saying that.
Back at the Municipal Party Committee, Li Rui reported the latest progress to Song Chaoyang.
Song Chaoyang gave two suggestions. "When the two Chinese doctors from Huangzhou arrive tomorrow, record the cost of Mr. Huang's treatment and reimburse it to the city. Also, Mr. Huang wants to invest in a TV series. Although it seems to be a private matter on the surface, in the context of his investment in his hometown, it becomes a public matter. You have to pay attention to it and get it done as soon as possible. If you need any resources, you can use my name or the Municipal Party Committee's name to contact the relevant departments. " Li Rui said, "Filming a TV series does not require any resources. All the resources can be solved with Mr. Huang's investment. I also know a friend in the film industry. She can help solve most of the problems."
Song Chaoyang raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and contact your friend. Find out how many episodes the novel needs to be adapted into a TV series, how much money it needs to invest, and how long it will take to film. After you find out, hurry up and tell Mr. Huang so that he will know what to do." Li Rui said, "I've already told that friend. She's helping me ask. I'll go out now and give her a call to urge her." Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "This mission is also very important. You have to hurry."
Back in the outer room, Li Rui called Tang Su. After the call connected, Tang Su did not wait for him to say anything before saying, "You want to ask about the filming of the TV series, right? I'm helping you to find out more about it. In general, there shouldn't be any problems. For example, the film and television company I'm in can take over the filming, but I haven't asked about the details yet. For example, the issue of the adaptation rights of the novel, the time it takes for the script to be submitted to the SARFT for approval, how long it takes to apply for a filming permit, the amount of investment, and so on. My boss has gone to Beijing for a meeting these days. The other managers in the company are also not around. I can only wait. Are you anxious? "
Li Rui whispered, "It's not me who is anxious. It's the investor who is anxious. He has a terminal illness and has less than a year to live. He wants to see the filming of the TV series complete and broadcast as soon as possible." Tang Su was slightly surprised and said, "Is that so? Then I won't wait anymore. I'll call you as soon as there's a situation. " Li Rui said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your news. If you need me to go to Shanghai to discuss cooperation matters, let me know in advance."
After work in the evening, Tang Su sent a message. The boss of her film and television company said that considering the urgent needs of the investor, the company was willing to give priority to the filming of the TV series. They were also willing to use all their public relations resources to complete the filming and broadcast of the TV series as soon as possible. However, the required investment would also increase correspondingly. After all, many higher-ups had to be bribed and many employees had to work overtime. Of course, he would give the investor a discount for Tang Su's sake. As for the film adaptation rights of the novel, it would be best if the investor could get it himself. If the investor could not get it or did not have the energy to do so, his company could also do it for him. Of course, the investor would also have to pay some expenses.
Li Rui thought about it. As the author of the novel, after her death, the copyright of the novel should fall into the hands of her children. If he went to the provincial capital to discuss it with Su Yun's children, he should be able to get the adaptation rights. He believed that they would be willing to see another of their mother's works made into a film and television series. Therefore, he told Tang Su that he would handle the adaptation rights of the novel and would not trouble her company.
Tang Su listened and said, "Well, you should get the adaptation rights of the novel as soon as possible and then come to Shanghai to discuss the details with my boss. Before you come, try to fully understand the needs of the investor. For example, he may appoint actors or recommend roles … "Li Rui interrupted," Don't worry about that. He doesn't care about anything as long as the TV series is filmed. " Speaking of this, he suddenly realized something and asked, "If this TV series appointed you as the female lead, will you gain fame and fortune?" Tang Su said, "That's for sure. As long as it's broadcast on TV, I can at least get familiar with it in front of the public. If my performance is outstanding or the quality of the work is good, I can also become famous."
Li Rui smiled and said, "Well, then I'll recommend that the investor appoint you as the female lead. You have a delicate and pleasant appearance and a good aura.
You are very suitable for the female lead of the novel. " Tang Su did not expect that the matter of asking her to help with the production of the TV series would develop into her entering the role of the female lead in the new drama. She was shocked and happy at the same time and was speechless for a long time. Li Rui said, "That's all for now. I'll go and get the adaptation rights of the novel in the next two days. Once I'm done, I'll come to Shanghai to find you." Tang Su came back to her senses and said, "Oh, oh, okay, okay, I'll wait for you in Shanghai …"
Li Rui hung up the phone and went to Song Chaoyang to ask for leave. "Boss, I'll go to the provincial capital tomorrow morning to meet Su Yun's children and get the adaptation rights of the novel. After I've settled the copyright, I'll go to Shanghai to discuss the details of the cooperation with my friend's film company."
Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "Okay, that's your main task at the moment." After saying that, he was afraid that he would be conflicted, so he said, "On the surface, these things have nothing to do with the work of the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. But then again, the work of the first secretary of the Municipal Party Committee is not rigid and fixed. As long as it can help me, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, solve my worries and support the social and economic development of Qingyang City, it's all your job. What you're doing for Mr. Huang now is actually helping me to solve my worries and contribute to the economic development of Qingyang City. So … Haha, Xiao Rui, you must not be unhappy because you're running around all day or doing irrelevant things. "
Li Rui smiled and said, "Boss, look at what you're saying. I'm not modest to say that I think I have a high level of ideological awareness. I can fully understand the great political significance of the small things I'm doing now. As long as it can make Mr. Huang happy to invest in his hometown, I'm willing to do it no matter how hard or tiring it is. What's more, these things are not hard now. Besides, Mr. Huang and I are good friends. I'm also willing to do what I can for him. " After saying that, he looked a little sad and said desolately, "I can still do something for him now, but in the future, maybe … sigh!"
Song Chaoyang also showed a sad expression. He sighed and lowered his head to think for a moment, then asked, "Tomorrow, you'll go to the provincial capital to find Su Yun's children. Can you do it alone? Do you need one or two people from the city to go with you? For example, the vice-chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, Liao Jinguang, can go with you. " Li Rui thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's necessary for the first trip. I'll go and test Su Yun's children first. If they agree, then of course, everyone will be happy. If they don't agree, then you can ask Chairman Liao to go to the provincial capital. There will be room for negotiation." Song Chaoyang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then you go by yourself first."
After the discussion, Li Rui walked out of the office and hurried to the First Secretary's Department to find Zhang Hui. She still had something very important to do.
Coincidentally, just as he walked to the door of the First Secretary's Department, he saw Zhang Hui come out. The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time, but they didn't know why they were laughing.
Li Rui asked, "Have you done what I asked you to do?"
Zhang Hui nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I've found more than ten photos. There are black and white photos, and there are also color photos. I went to the General Department's First Secretary's Department to print them out with a laser color inkjet printer. Otherwise, color photos wouldn't be effective … Speaking of which, our First Secretary's Department is really shabby. We don't even have a color printer. Director, please think of a way to get one … The Internet is really amazing now. You can search for anything, and the information is very comprehensive. You don't have to go anywhere, just sit at your desk and use the computer …" Li Rui laughed and interrupted her nonsense, saying, "Then why aren't you showing them to me?"
Before Zhang Hui could finish, she was interrupted by him. She resentfully glared at him and pouted her little mouth as she went back to her room.
Li Rui stood at the door and waited for her. After a few breaths, the little girl came out with a stack of printed papers. He reached out and snatched it. The first paper was a black and white photo. The background was the study at home. An eighty-year-old granny with a head full of white hair was wearing a pair of black-framed reading glasses. She was sitting in front of her desk, writing furiously. The photo was very clear. It could be seen that the granny was old, but her face was very beautiful. She must have been a great beauty when she was young. In addition, although she was sitting and most of her body was blocked by the desk, it could be seen that she was slim, or even slightly skinny, which made her look even more elegant and outstanding.
Looking at the photo, Li Rui let out a long sigh and thought to himself, "Senior Su Yun, I've been looking for you for so long. Today, I finally see your face!"
