Entertaining Children

  Chapter 508 Network Broadcasting Right

  Martin Grotz and others left, and Mu Ying was taken directly to his hotel room by Xiao Yao.

Mu Ying unceremoniously sat down on the sofa in the room, smiled at Xiao Yao and said: "When someone asked you to be the director, you wrote a script for someone else. You really have the opportunity to make a short film for BMW. It's very rare. Is your job in China important? Can't you just get rid of it?"

"I don't have much work these days," Xiao Yao poured two glasses of water and handed a glass to Mu Ying. Then he sat down on the sofa opposite him and said, "But in more than a week, I will be a screenwriter. A TV series is about to start, and I will have a promotional event to participate in, and maybe a variety show. The project of this short film of BMW will be approved after discussion and approval by their high-level, plus the preliminary preparations, I I think it will take more than a week to start. At that time, it might be in conflict with the time when I promoted the TV series."

  Xiao Yao was talking about the "Brightest Star in the Night Sky". The shooting and post-production were completed last year, and the broadcasting rights were sold at the beginning of the year. At the filming conference at the beginning of the year, the four satellite TVs jointly purchased the first round of broadcasting rights. After the schedule was coordinated, the TV series was scheduled to be broadcast in late March. The producer and these local satellite TVs will also have a series of publicity. activity. He took out his notebook and put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

In this film festival, the reason why Ye Jiaying did not come with Xiao Yao, and that he did not go to Shencheng in advance to participate in the brand launch conference of Xiao Yao and Yin Xi like Xiao Siqi before, all because of being the head of Qijia Studio She wants to negotiate with Dongri Sunshine and four local satellite TVs to confirm the TV drama propaganda. Although Xiao Yao only made a guest appearance in a scene, and he is not even a supporting actor, but as one of the screenwriters of the show, he is also regarded as a good publicity point. Ye Jiaying had already mentioned to Xiao Yao that he wanted to arrange for him to participate in publicity activities after the TV series started. When "Ling Yun Zhi" was broadcast, Xiao Yao had participated in the publicity activities. This time it was a TV series invested by his own family. Of course, Xiao Yao readily agreed.

  "Have you written the script of a TV series?" Mu Ying asked in surprise, "Writing and acting by yourself? You can't direct it, right?"

"No," Xiao Yao said, shaking his head. "That TV series was filmed last year. It's more than 30 episodes. I'm not as good as that. I'm just one of two screenwriters. By the way, I made a guest star in it. There is no soy sauce role. The director of the TV series is the well-known director Sun Zhihao from China, not me."

  "It's just one of the co-writers, so your publicity weight shouldn't be heavy. I pushed it," Mu Yingdao, "I think the chance of directing this commercial is much more important than your promotion of the TV series."

"That's a TV series that our studio has invested in. I promised my mother a long time ago." Xiao Yao shook his head. "Moreover, the director and the protagonist are also people who are very close to me. I can't and don't want to push it. "

"There is no need to explicitly reject it now," Mu Ying said. "You said that BMW's short film project takes at least one week, but in my opinion, it is not impossible to start a month later. The publicity activity is over, so don’t you just have nothing to do and wasted an opportunity?"

   "As long as I want, I can find something to do." Xiao Yao smiled, "Besides, I'm still a student and still in school."

   "I am also a student, so do you recommend me to be the director of short films?" Mu Yingdao.

"Graduate students and undergraduates are different... Well..." Xiao Yao halfway said, seeing Mu Ying showing contempt in his eyes, then smiled bitterly, "Well, I actually think I might not be able to shoot now. A good BMW short film, I'm not sure, so I don't want to make it."

   "You don't want to shoot, so let me go! You really take care of me." Mu Ying rolled her eyes.

"Didn't you say that you don't have much chance to direct in the United States? It's not bad to practice with this," Xiao Yao smiled. "Although it is an advertisement, it is actually a short film. With BMW's strength, they should be invited A big star will play the leading role. A chance to direct a big star, don’t tell me you don’t want to."

   "What use do you want?" Mu Ying said, "You just recommend it, and BMW will not necessarily let me shoot. And the more the actor, the smaller the chance of me being a director."

   "That's why I left you," Xiao Yao said, "Help me improve the script together, so that your chances will be even greater."

   "There is such a justified reason for people to help," Mu Ying smiled with a thumbs up, "Admire!"

  The two were chatting, Xiao Yao's cell phone suddenly rang again. Xiao Yao took a look and found that it was an unfamiliar phone number again.

  "Won't another one come to me to shoot commercials?" Xiao Yao answered the phone with confusion.

  This time, it’s not that another company wanted to find Xiao Yao to make an advertisement, but the person in charge of a well-known European video website called and wanted to ask Xiao Yao to buy the network broadcasting rights of the short film "Tuner".

  There is money to be made, Xiao Yao is naturally very interested, and immediately expressed his willingness to sell the network broadcasting rights of "Tuner". However, Xiao Yao did not intend to personally participate in the specific bargaining process. This time the leader still came to do this, so after he agreed with the other party for a specific time for meeting and discussion tomorrow, he went to the next door and rang Fang's room. Door, inform and let him be responsible for the negotiation with the other side tomorrow.

  Since we are going to discuss the sale of network broadcasting rights tomorrow, it is definitely impossible for others to fly to China for the negotiation, so the original plan to return to China for tomorrow has to be postponed. Just when Fang was still about to call the airline to change the ticket, Xiao Yao's cell phone rang again. Xiao Yao answered the phone and found that it was a call from another well-known European video website, the purpose of which was also to purchase the network broadcasting rights of "Tuner.

  It seems that the title of "Most Popular Audience Award" has come into play. Then, things have to be discussed. Xiao Yao estimated that there might be similar calls today and tomorrow, so he simply set up call forwarding on his mobile phone and forwarded all the calls directly to Fang still, asked her to deal with the matter, and then returned to her room.

   "Congratulations." After Xiao Yao came back, Mu Ying said with envy, who knew what had happened.

  "Thank you! When the script is finished, please drink!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

  While talking, Xiao Yao’s mobile phone suddenly issued a "ding" sound. Xiao Yao checked it and found that the mobile phone showed that the bound mailbox had received new mail.

  "BMW sent the information over there." Xiao Yao turned on the laptop and clicked on the email to check. Then I connected the computer to the printer in the room, printed out the information and handed it to Mu Yingdao, "Let's take a look first, and then we think about how to express the characteristics of the vehicle in the short film."

   "Okay, let's start!" Mu Ying took the information and said, "I won't leave tonight. After finishing the script, let's drink and celebrate."

  The two have been busy until wee hours before finally finishing the script. Xiao Yao added Mu Ying's name to the completed script and sent it to Martin Grotz. Mu Ying sent some of his more proud works and some of the sub-camera designs for Xiao Yao's script to Martin Grotz's mailbox, so as to fight for himself the opportunity to direct this short film. After that, the two took out all the wine in the mini wine cabinet in the room, and they discussed the scripts of the next few BMW movies while drinking.

When Fang and Pei Minyi came to knock on Xiao Yao’s door the next day, Xiao Yao, who was awakened by the doorbell, opened his eyes and found that he and Mu Ying were both undressed and crooked on the sofa, and the coffee table in front of him was a mess. Empty wine bottle.

   Xiao Yao gave a big yawn, rubbed his eyes and opened the door to the room. After finding that it was Fang still and Pei Minyi, he turned his head back to the room and leaned back on the sofa.

"I took a few more calls last night. In addition to video sites in Europe, video sites in the United States also contacted me. They all wanted to buy the right to broadcast your short film. I made appointments with them one by one. It's been five days since the ticket was changed." Fang still followed Xiao Yao into the room and said as he walked.

   "Oh, got it!" Xiao Yao said, leaning on the sofa, closing his eyes.

   "How much did you drink last night?" Fang still looked at Mu Ying who was still sleeping on the sofa and the pile of empty wine bottles on the coffee table.

   "That's all!" Xiao Yao pointed to a dozen small empty wine bottles on the coffee table, "All the mini wine cabinets are here, but we didn't buy them separately or ask the hotel to give them away. There is not much in total."

   "Then you can still talk to the people on the website about broadcasting rights in the morning?" Fang still asked again. The mini wine cabinet in the hotel room is equipped with small bottles of dozens of milliliters. Although the dozens of bottles on the coffee table look scary, they really need to be counted. In fact, they are about two ordinary 750ml bottles. , The two drank separately, and Xiao Yao didn't drink a bottle to the point where he couldn't get out of bed.

"Yes, but I don't want to go." Xiao Yao still closed his eyes and said, "You can go with Minyi. I will squint for a while, and when Mu Ying wakes up and leaves, I have to go out to do other things. "

   "Other things?" Fang still said, "What else do you have?"

"Play." Xiao Yao said, "You guys have been playing for four or five days, and I only played for a long time. I don't care about this bargaining thing, and it's not easy to leave you alone to return to China. Of course, you are looking for a place to play. ."

   "Where are you going to play?" Pei Minyi said, "Or I will accompany you, anyway, I don't necessarily need me to follow my sister to go to business negotiations."

   "I'm going to find Kira to learn how to skydive, are you going too?" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "Uh..." Pei Minyi suddenly hesitated thinking about the exciting experience of skydiving.

"The club of Kira's family has the qualification to train and issue skydiving licenses." Xiao Yao said, "10 hours of training and 25 independent skydiving can get the most basic skydiving license, and it doesn't have to be from your own country. People and foreigners can also take the test at them. Kira said that the fastest student in their club took the test for the skydiving license in a week. I plan to take the test in five days. If you go, you have to take the license test like me. Come out."

   "Forget it, I'll stay with Sister Still." Pei Minyi said immediately.

  Until ten o'clock in the morning, Mu Yingcai woke up from the sofa. After a brief wash, Mu Ying bid farewell to Xiao Yao and left. Unlike Xiao Yao who has the right to sell on the Internet, Mu Ying booked an evening flight to fly back to the United States.

  After sending Mu Ying away, Xiao Yao took a shower, called the domestic teacher Cui for another five days of leave, contacted Kira Bea, and went to her skydiving club.

  After three days of comparison and negotiation, Fang still successfully sold the network broadcast rights of "Tuner" to a British video site and an American video site. Inspired by this, Xiao Yao also canceled the original plan to upload the short film to domestic video websites for free. After returning to China, let Fang still sell the domestic network broadcast rights of the short film. He has awards and honors in his hand, and he should be able to sell it. Give a good price.

Two days after   , Fang, who was okay, still went to the skydiving club with Pei Minyi and Xiao Yao. Of course, they won't take the skydiving license like Xiao Yao, but just sit on the sidelines with nothing to do. Watching Xiao Yao doing exercises on the ground for two or three hours a day, and then jumping off the plane six or seven times, both of them felt tired and panicked.

  After five days of hard training and practice, Xiao Yao obtained his D-level skydiving license as he wished, and returned to China with Fang Still and Pei Minyi contentedly.

  After returning to Shencheng, Xiao Yao went to class for two days off vacation, which is considered to be two days off. Then he asked for leave from the school again after receiving Ye Jiaying's notice, and flew to southern Hunan with Pei Minyi. This time, he is going to Xiangnan TV to participate in an interview and game variety show-"Happy Camp".

  Like "Everyday Upward", this is also a show with the same name and similar to the previous life, but only a group of hosts different from the previous life. It is still one of the two ace shows of the Shonan Satellite TV in the world.

The recording of "Happy Camp" is scheduled to take place on Thursday afternoon. Although Xiao Yao has no obsession with asking for leave since he went to college, he has already taken almost three weeks of leave before, so he can take one day less leave. For the principle of one day, Xiao Yao arrived at Shonan Changsha at noon on Thursday. The program crew picked up the hotel from the airport and put down their luggage. After having lunch, Xiao Yao and Pei Minyi rushed to Shonan Station again without stopping TV building.

  There are a total of five guests in this episode. It is said that in addition to Xiao Yao, the other four guests are the four leading actors in this TV series, Zhao Rui, Zhu Zitong, Xu Fei and Ye Xing.

   Xiao Yao was the last of the five to arrive. After entering the guest lounge under the leadership of the program staff, Xiao Yao also met these few friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
