Chapter 348
Maybe he was driven crazy by the shortage of funds. Wang Yulin would cast a net on any pond he caught, regardless of whether there were fish or not. He started to complain about the lack of funds:
"The production crew is short of money. Although the court has approved a production budget of 5 million yuan, but you look at the production crew, they have to spend money on eating, drinking and sleeping, plus the subsequent filming..."
It has been said that some people in this world are very generous, especially those who are generous to others.
Wang Yan is a very generous person. Hearing what Wang Fulin said, he said to Nanyi: "I said Nan Batian, haven't you seen how hard these literary and art workers are, and you still don't express it?"
If it wasn't for Nan Yi who had already made up his mind when he came here, if it wasn't for Nan Yi's idea of wanting to hit Wang Yan, he really wanted to give Wang Yan a sap, and then give him a set of dog beating sticks .
Nan Yi smiled and said, "Director Wang, how much money is our crew still short of?"
Hearing Nanyi's question, Ren Dahui's eyes lit up next to him. He is the production director of "A Dream of Red Mansions", that is, he is in charge of money. The crew's funds are insufficient, and he has been worrying about money all day long.
Although the imperial court had allocated five million yuan, the money was not enough for the filming of the entire TV series. He was also begging for money everywhere during this period, but the gains were not great. I didn't expect this young man to listen to Wang Fulin's introduction. , Just ask how much money is still missing, this should be a local tyrant, right?
"There is still a shortfall of two million." Ren Dahui said directly without any etiquette.
Nanyi was slightly taken aback. Regarding the investment in "Dream of Red Mansions", he had heard two figures, one was 6.8 million, the other was 8.5 million, one was seen on a short video, and the other was seen in an article from the media , he does not know which is true, or both are false.
But no matter what the number is, it doesn't match the number of 7 million, but the number of 6.8 million is relatively close, so it is possible that Ren Dahui is talking about it in the lion.
Nan Yi took a look at the slyness that flashed in Ren Dahui's eyes, and immediately understood what he meant. This was asking the sky for a price, and then waiting for him to land a counter-offer.
Wang Fulin was beside him, but he rolled his eyes at Ren Dahui with some dissatisfaction, and said dissatisfied in his heart: "Didn't you see that he is a young man? Even if he has some money in his hand, how much money can he have? This lion opened his mouth. What if you scare people away?"
Nanyi showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said embarrassedly: "Producer Ren, this... this, I just opened a restaurant, two million, let alone let me take it, even if I dream of getting rich, I will I didn't dare to do such a large number.
If you want to say 20,000 yuan, I can still grit my teeth and take it out as a contribution to the development of our country's TV industry..."
Ren Dahui quickly said, "Twenty thousand is fine!"
Nanyi: "*%￥... # !"
The rest of the crew who were listening at the side looked embarrassed at Ren Dahui's performance.
Nan Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Producer Ren, that's right. Although I personally can't afford two million yuan, I also work as an accountant in our village. There are many village enterprises in our village. Two million yuan You can still make it together, it's just..."
"real?"
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, no one expected that there would be a turnaround.
Nan Yi slandered, "Who are they? You can't hear money when you hear money? Why don't you make fun of me? How can I go on talking about it?"
It was still Cheng Yin holding the weight, he coughed twice and said to Nan Yi: "Xiao Nan, go on, what is it?"
"It's just that I have to find a reason for how to get the money. I can't go back to the village and say that the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" is short of two million. Why don't our village give it away?
If the village asks me, what benefits our village can get out of the two million yuan, how should I answer? "
Nan Yi didn't bother to play the game back and forth, he just went on and said, "Producer Ren may have heard of the clothing brand Paris, and this clothes are produced by the clothing factory in our village.
As for the clothing factory, they have been sponsoring the clothing of various studios before, and in return, the studios will put a big thank you letter at the beginning and end of the film..."
"Xiao Nan, I've heard about Paris. It's okay to thank you. We can also help you; if you pay 2 million, we will give you a 30-second thank you at the beginning of the credits." Ren Da Hui said anxiously.
"It's a dream, two million is another thank you, what a good thing to think about." Nanyi slandered, and said with a gray face: "Producer Ren, this may not be enough, how about it, let me say hello to our village first , Let the people from the garment factory come over and talk to you in detail, do you think this is okay?"
"Okay, okay, when can I come over? If I don't have time, I can go there too. I remember that Paris is deeply attached, right?"
"Yes, it's in Shenzhen, as a producer, how dare you let you go there by yourself, you can just wait at ease, no matter whether it's successful or not, someone from the garment factory will definitely come over in two days."
What Nan Yi wanted was not only credits at the beginning and end of the film, but he was also eyeing overseas copyrights. He didn't want to make a difference, but was planning to insert advertisements in TV dramas.
It's not the kind of blunt advertisement, it's the kind of advertisement inserted in the middle of the TV series that the leading actor of the TV series shoots on the video platform.
Not to mention that TV stations that purchase copyrights do not necessarily have to pay advertising fees, even if they pay advertising fees backwards.
In Nanyi's memory, this edition of "Dream of Red Mansions" not only caused a huge sensation in the mainland, but also achieved good results in Southeast Asia and East Asia. It is quite affordable to add all the advertisements of the food factory.
As for why it is not two million, but there is a "more", the commercials cost money, and the actors have to be paid for the commercials, although the commercials should not be too much, give them a few thousand, and they will be happy , but it is also an expense.
"Okay, Xiao Nan, then I'll wait. Please take care of this matter. We are really in trouble." Ren Dahui said.
"sure."
After talking about the business, it was about eight o'clock. The actors had finished practicing, and it was time to wash up and get ready for bed. Wang Yan, who had no eyesight, wanted to stay for a while, but was dragged away by Nan Yi.
After leaving the compound of the guest house, passing through the arched passageway, you will arrive at the Yuanmingyuan.
The Old Summer Palace is still the same as when I came back to Nanyi last time. It is still desolate, with only trees and corridors, and a lake that has dried up. There are no fences around the side, and anyone can come in and walk around.
"Nan Batian, did I make it difficult for you just now?" Wang Yan, who was walking beside Nanyi, said suddenly.
"It's okay, Paris has always been sponsoring the crew, which is also an advertisement. More than two million is a bit more, but as long as the terms are more favorable, it is not impossible to negotiate. It's just that we will come again next time, please come in advance Say hello, I'm mentally prepared."
"Okay, next time I will be the first to squeak."
Wang Yan still remains disapproving of his generosity to others.
Nanyi was too lazy to point it out, and he couldn't point it out. He was the one who was generous, so what's the point of pointing it out? Was he Nanyi stingy and stingy, or did he blame Wang Yan?
When he came, Nanyi didn't take a taxi with Wang Suo and others, but when he returned, he also took a taxi with Xiaohua and Tiger Cub.
As soon as he returned to the old bungalow, Nanyi called Han Guoren, told him about the matter, and asked him to come to the capital to negotiate as soon as possible.
After hanging up the phone, Nan Yi went to the kitchen and made himself a bowl of dried noodles. After he sat down at the dining table with the bowl in his hand, he just turned on the TV when Liu Zhen came back.
"Why are you eating so late?"
Nan Yi picked up a chopstick and blew it, stuffed it into his mouth, and said after he was almost chewing: "I went to the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" with Wang Suo and the others. I paid some money. You give me 20,000 yuan first, and I will send it to the crew tomorrow."
"The money is still in the old place, you just go get it yourself." Liu Zhen slumped on the sofa and shook her neck, "I'm exhausted after driving all day."
"It's better for you to take it. The money already belongs to you. It's not good for me to take it myself. It's a loan from you. I will pay you back in two days."
"Why, your private money was emptied?"
"It's not very rich, there is already a famine, and I have been running around for private money in the past few days."
"Oh, I'll get it for you."
Liu Zhen stood up from the sofa, walked into the room, and came out with a large stack of money in a while.
Putting the money on the side of Nanyi, he said: "Now there is only Da Tuan, and the denomination is too small. It is estimated that the fourth set will be issued soon. You don't know, the plate making of the fourth set will be completed in 80 years."
"Oh, do you have a hundred-dollar bill?"
"Of course, there are ones with a denomination of 100 yuan. In the future, 10,000 yuan will be such a small stack." Liu Zhen picked up a stack of 1,000 yuan and patted it in her hand and said, "By the way, Nanyi, I'll turn over you I think there are only four stamp albums missing, so where did you find them?"
"It was exchanged from a prodigal son in 1976, and it cost me ten catties of national food stamps. Hey, you are also a member of the banking system. Help me find it and see if I can find it. Give me some money. complete set."
"Where do you go to find it, it was already destroyed."
"That's right. When I'm free, I'll go out and look for it myself." Nanyi nodded and said.
The incomplete set of first-generation RMB was the first valuable thing Nanyi got after crossing over, and it has special commemorative significance for him.
For it, Nanyi did not place too many philistines.
"My one hasn't come yet. Tomorrow is just the weekend. You can accompany me to the hospital for a checkup."
"Well, it's so late for so many days, it's time to go for an inspection, do you want to eat some pads now, you get up later tomorrow, let's go there at noon, and eat after the inspection."
"Go at noon? Does the doctor not come off work?"
"It's okay, I have an acquaintance. I'll say hello first tomorrow morning and ask him to work overtime at noon."
"It's fine, I won't eat anything, it's okay to be hungry for a long time, you eat slowly, I'm going to take a shower and get ready for sleep, I'm getting tired easily these days." Liu Zhen said, pulling her slippers and walking upstairs go.
...
The next day, around eleven o'clock, Nan Yi accompanied Liu Zhen to the Rockefeller Hospital.
In the past two years, by thanking Lang Huichun who helped Fan Hongdou to see a doctor, Nanyi took the opportunity to expand his favor and benefited several acquaintances of Lang Huichun in the hospital, one of which was Wang Shurong, an expert in obstetrics and gynecology.
"Expert Wang, I'm sorry, I asked you to work overtime after dinner is over." Nanyi and Liu Zhen entered Wang Shurong's consulting room, and Nanyi said apologetically.
"Xiao Nan, it's okay. This is your daughter-in-law, right?"
Seeing Nanyi, Wang Shurong smiled. When she received a call from Nanyi in the morning, Wang Shurong felt relieved when she heard that Nanyi begged her.
Since the first round, during the holidays, Nanyi's favors have never been broken. She only received favors, but she didn't give back at all, which is not a problem.
How good it is now, she can feel at ease.
After some inspections, it took a lot of time, and Wang Shurong said to Nan Yi and the others with certainty: "Xiao Nan, congratulations, it is basically confirmed that your daughter-in-law is pregnant. You need to pay attention to it for a while..."
After listening to Wang Shurong's instructions, Nan Yi thanked in a hurry: "Thank you, Expert Wang, we will definitely pay attention. You see, I'm really sorry to delay your meal at noon."
"It's okay, you haven't eaten yet, and there's nothing else to do, you go and eat quickly, pregnant women can't be hungry."
"Alright, Expert Wang, let's go now."
After saying goodbye to Wang Shurong, Nan Yi and Liu Zhen left the Rockefeller Hospital and walked to the parking lot.
"Why didn't you invite that expert Wang to dinner just now?" As soon as she got into the car, Liu Zhen turned to ask Nan Yi who was sitting next to her.
