The Era of Hard Work

In the reception room on the top floor of the Lu's Catering Building, Lu Dong saw Zhang Yuanfang who had rushed over.

Next to him, there was a man about the same age as Zhang Yuanfang. This man had a big brain, a short neck, and a rather burly figure. He was born with the face of a villain.

Lu Dong was sure that he had seen this face on which TV, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the villain leader in a certain Detective Di Renjie.

Zhang Yuanfang hurriedly introduced to Lu Dong: Mr. Lu, this is Qian Yangchun, my close buddy in the dormitory when I was studying at Jingdian, and now he is an actor, screenwriter and director.

He went on to introduce Lu Dong: Old Qian, this is Mr. Lu, the owner of Lu's Catering Group. The Burger King, which has been praised by many people these days, is a catering brand under Mr. Lu's company.

Before Qian Yangchun came, he had heard Zhang Yuanfang's detailed explanation, otherwise he would not have come all the way from the capital, and hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Lu Dong: Mr. Lu, it is my honor to know you, Qian Yangchun!

People are very polite, and Lu Dong naturally respects people, so he specially called the most important job title, invited the two of them to sit, and said, Director Qian is too polite.

Zhang Yuanfang said at the right time: Mr. Lu is not an outsider either. This year he invested in Zhao Laogen's TV series Country Love, and has cooperated with Triple Crown Film and Television and Yiyi.

On Qian Yangchun's big face, he kept smiling: I've heard about Mr. Lu's investment. Be decisive! Great!

Lu Kun temporarily acted as a waiter, serving tea next to each other.

This time I followed Zhang Yuanfang, just to attract investment. The entertainment industry has never been limited to the entertainment industry, especially the funds. The industry has withered a long time ago only relying on the funds in the industry. It can have today's vigorous development, and it is also the continuous absorption of funds. The result of outside investment.

As soon as Lu Dong heard it, he knew that Qian Yangchun was used to hanging out in the entertainment industry, and his face had already been cultivated. Of course, he would not take such words seriously, and said: I am not a generous person. There are many restrictions on investment, and there are rules and regulations. Teacher Zhao complained a lot.

Some things, he said earlier, these people want to treat him as a coal boss nouveau riche, but they want to go wrong: Let's say that Zhao Laogen and I have invested a lot of money in this cooperation, but the restrictions There are many conditions, such as shooting in Qingzhao County, cooperating with Triple Crown Film and Television, placing advertisements for Lujia Village and Lu’s Catering, etc.”

Qian Yangchun could understand the meaning of these words: It's only right and proper to serve someone's job and be managed by others.

He heard from Zhang Yuanfang that the relationship behind this person is complicated and not easy to mess with. Look at KFC and McDonald's, which are disgraced recently and cannot be extinguished everywhere, and look at Burger King, which has been praised by the media. This Lu Dong's power and means It can be seen.

Dare to wrestle with big multinational companies like KFC and McDonald's, can it be a good thing?

What's more, this person is conservatively estimated to be worth a billion dollars, and throwing money at them can kill them who are in the entertainment industry.

Zhang Yuanfang could tell that Lu Dong had given him a little prestige, which probably had something to do with Zhao Laogen.

It's not that Zhao Laogen has any enmity with the two brothers, but with the current relationship between Zhao Laogen and Lu Dong, he will definitely tell Lu Dong about many bad things in the entertainment industry, the biggest and worst of which is the Beijing circle. Lao Qian is also considered to be half of the Beijing circle.

When he brought the old money over, a discerning person could tell it was investment. It was normal for Lu Dong to speak out first.

Zhang Yuanfang had dealt with Lu Dong before, and then said: Mr. Lu, Lao Qian and I came here, and we got fed up there, so we want to start our own business and shoot a few works that are really up to us. Although I am not from Taidong, I am well-known in Taidong. I have been cooperating with Triple Crown Film and Television for the past few years. I have deep feelings for Taidong. What I want most is to be here in Taidong and make some achievements. .”

Lu Dong deliberately asked: Mr. Zhang, are you and Director Qian planning to start a business in Quannan?

Hearing what Lu Dong said, Zhang Yuanfang froze for a moment.

As a relatively pure actor, he didn't react so quickly.

But Qian Yangchun is much more complicated. He was born as an actor. Later, he worked as a screenwriter, director, and executive producer. He often dealt with people, and his brain was more active.

Lao Zhang and I do have this idea.

For people like them, the current tax situation is similar, and there is not much difference in where the company is registered. Qian Yangchun said: We plan to jump out of the capital and start a business.

Lu Dong asked directly: So, Director Qian has a suitable work?

When Qian Yangchun came over, he was naturally ready, and immediately opened the leather bag he was carrying, took out a thick stack, and put it on the coffee table between Lu Dong and him: I plan to plan a series of costume dramas, integrating suspense, martial arts and historical plots One type.

Lu Dong pointed: Can I see it?

Qian Yangchun hurriedly said: This time, I just want Mr. Lu to help me out.

This kind of polite words, Lu Dong listened to it, picked it up and looked it up, the top one was not the costume drama project Qian Yangchun mentioned, but Qian Yangchun's resume introduction.

Lu Dong knew that these were used to increase persuasiveness. After all, relatively few people know directors and screenwriters these days.

However, the above is not too long-winded, it just introduces Qian Yangchun's recent works and related brief introductions.

I don't know if I don't watch it, but I was shocked when I saw it. Qian Yangchun had already written and directed the revolutionary gunfight drama Heroes, and the protagonist was Yan Shuangying!

Looks like this is the first part of the Yan Shuangying series?

As long as the enemy does not use nuclear weapons, we promise not to use Yan Shuangying!

Also, Qian Yangchun was also the screenwriter of the ghostly work Journey to the West!

Many people are probably impressed by this, except for Wutian, it is the replay of the action shots that run through the whole film like water injection, it is crazy!

After quickly flipping through these, Lu Dong saw the brief introduction of the costume drama project and the first draft of the script. It was different from what he thought. The script was called The Mystery of the Wu Dynasty.

It wasn't Li Yuanfang fighting Di Renjie?

Lu Dong was surprised, thinking he had made a mistake, but looking at the contents, it was clear that it was Di Renjie.

In this first draft script, you can find some impressive sentences: My surname is Di, my name is Renjie, and I am a person from Bingzhou. All military and political affairs of the state!

There are also the lines of the characters who are familiar with the mantra.

I have a faint uneasiness in my heart!

A thought jumped into my mind!

So I came to this conclusion!

Then there is Li Yunfang, the king of hanging kings: walk upright, sit upright, a national first-class civil servant, never compromise with criminals, from the bottom of his heart, he has a righteous attitude.

Even the words on paper reminded Lu Dong of the familiar flavors - undercover, spy, anti-corruption, intelligence exchange, Jedi anti-killing!

This is not so much a crime-solving drama as it is an anti-special drama.

Lu Dong just browsed a part of it, and after confirming that it was the right drama, he closed the data book.

Qian Yangchun's heart skipped a beat, and he asked tentatively, President Lu, what do you think of my drama...

I'm a layman, so I don't really understand it. Lu Dong was telling the truth, and his criterion for judging was not the story of the script at all: I just think it's quite interesting. Many people know the name of Di Renjie and Di Gong. When I was young, I was I have heard the storytelling The Case of Di Gong in the Tang Dynasty, and I am quite impressed with this man.

There is a certain bias in these words, Qian Yangchun was a little relieved, the costume dramas cost a lot of money to shoot, and he couldn't make it on his own without the rich big boss.

Selling to a film and television production company to seek cooperation, and starting a company to cooperate with others are the two paths.

If possible, Qian Yangchun would like to choose the latter with more freedom: Boss Lu, this drama doesn't require too much investment, we...

As a potential employer, Lu Dong has an absolute advantage. At this moment, he interrupted Qian Yangchun and said, Director Qian, listen to me first.

He could roughly guess that Qian Yangchun came out to solicit investment. On the one hand, he really needed the money, and on the other hand, he said directly: I am an absolute layman in filming TV dramas. If I invest here, I will definitely work professionally. It should be handed over to professional people like Director Qian and Teacher Zhang.”

Hearing this, half of Qian Yangchun's heart went back to his solitude. What he was most afraid of was that the boss who invested the money would seriously interfere with the crew's work after the money was invested.

It's not a problem to stuff people into the crew, or even a bunch of women, so the filming interferes randomly.

My old Qian still has some ability and reputation, so don't worry about that, Mr. Lu. Qian Yangchun knew Lu Dong well, so he didn't dare to mess around.

Don't make it too easy for someone who dares to mess with KFC and McDonald's.

Zhang Yuanfang also said at this time: Mr. Lu, I have spent most of my life in Quannan these years. You are familiar with the people from Triple Crown Film and Television. You will know what kind of person I am once you ask.

This kind of investment is naturally impossible to rely on personal character and reputation.

Lu Dong is very straightforward: I'll just say a few requirements, but it's actually not complicated. On my side, Lu's Holdings will contribute capital to set up a film and television production company with Director Qian and Mr. Zhang. The company needs to be located in Quannan. Of course, my side You must have a controlling stake, and Mystery of Wu Dynasty is a project that belongs to the company... Well, what do you say about the name Mystery of Wu Dynasty? From my personal point of view, it is not very clear...

Qian Yangchun has been in the entertainment circle for many years, and he can bend and stretch: Why don't you change it to Mr. Lu?

Lu Dong smiled: I'm just suggesting, if it's okay, let Qian guide you to make a decision. How about Detective Di Renjie?

Qian Yangchun slapped his legs, his expression somewhat exaggerated: The name is good, it's called Detective Di Renjie!

Lu Dong looked at Zhang Yuanfang: Director Qian, I personally like Teacher Zhang very much, and Teacher Zhang must act in this play.

Zhang Yuanfang said with a smile: Thank you Mr. Lu for your love! In fact, the role of Li Yuanfang was tailor-made for me by Lao Qian.

Lu Dong nodded and continued: For this drama, Triple Crown Film and Television needs to be recruited to cooperate. With Triple Crown Film and Television, at least there will be Taidong Provincial TV Station to support it. Also, for the company and the crew, Lu's Holdings will not participate. Day-to-day management and other work, but a financial supervisor will be dispatched.”

Inside and outside, Lu Dong agreed a lot of things, in fact, it was to guarantee the investment of Lu Holdings.

Later, I will let the people below talk about it in detail.

Finally, Lu Dong said, Director Qian, there is another important matter.
