Chapter 218 Everyone's a Gambling Freak
Old Xu left with the proposal for "Go Fighting!"
They left decisively.
For him, being able to snatch "Scarlet Heart" was already a mission accomplished beyond expectations.
As for whether or not they will actually be given control of this outdoor reality show...
Sigh, why worry about that?
Let the station director worry about this hair loss problem!
After the proposal arrived in Shanghai, the internal reaction at Dragon TV was even faster than Gu Heng had anticipated.
How fast?
No sooner had Lao Xu placed the proposal on the station director's desk than all the middle and senior management staff of the station were pulled into the meeting room.
It is said that the meeting lasted for a full four hours that day.
The core issue of the meeting was just one thing: to do it or not?
The radicals slammed their fists on the table: Let's do it! We absolutely have to do it! The only way to get over those mountains in front of us is with this unexpected move!
However, we still have to grit our teeth and fight for the control that the visionary wants.
As a result, the conservatives immediately got angry and started attacking the radicals.
Conservatives believe that radicals' ideas are too conservative.
As long as we can surpass Jiangsu TV and Zhejiang TV, let alone the control of a single program.
Gu Heng wants us to record the show ourselves, and we can go on stage too!
Good heavens, the entire Oriental TV station is being pressured by the other stations.
It can only be described in two words now.
Gambling freak!
So they came.
The station director personally led a team to Beijing.
Control? No problem, given!
It's just a bottom line; if you're flexible, it's no longer a bottom line.
Then they started talking about profit sharing.
Gu Heng is a very practical person. He held up three fingers and said, "Thirty percent. I want thirty percent of the revenue from the first season."
The station director was stunned upon hearing this.
He was prepared for Gu Heng to make exorbitant demands, but you just want 30%?
Gu Heng found it amusing to see the station director's incredulous expression.
Then, he abruptly changed the subject: "Don't get too excited. My condition is that if there's a second season, I want 40% of the profits, and the show's copyright must belong to Vision."
It was only 10% more, and the station manager didn't even hesitate before making the decision on the spot!
However, an additional condition was added: Chicken Strips can only collaborate with Dragon TV.
If you just pack your bags and run away, where will we go to cry?
Once the contract was signed, the station director hurriedly resigned.
Although Gu Heng's proposal was already very detailed.
However, to implement it at the trial level, it would take at least half a year to build a team and conduct test shoots.
……
In late April, Source Code continued to climb at the North American box office.
It grossed another $2500 million in its second week, bringing its total box office to over $4500 million.
Rotten Tomatoes maintains an 88% freshness rating, and its IMDb score remains stable at 7.8.
For a sci-fi film directed by a Chinese-language director and featuring an all-Chinese cast, this achievement is nothing short of phenomenal in the North American market.
Every so often, Li Ming would report on the situation in North America.
Gu Heng left Li Ming to keep an eye on things in North America, while he devoted all his energy to the early preparations for "Edge of Tomorrow".
In Hengdian, filming for "Scarlet Heart" is on track.
Cai Yinong sent a message saying everything was going smoothly and Liu Shishi was in good condition after joining the crew.
Although Li Jiahang is a newcomer, he is quick to learn and has fully immersed himself in the role after filming a few key scenes.
Gu Heng replied with "Thank you for your hard work" and didn't ask any more questions.
He entrusted this project to Cai Yinong and Tangren's team with confidence, leaving professional tasks to professionals.
However, the film "Love is Not Blind" is progressing faster than expected.
Filming wrapped up after two months.
This speed startled Gu Heng.
Has Yang Mi's studio reached this level of execution efficiency?
Upon closer reflection, it makes sense.
Low-budget urban romance films feature concentrated scenes, actors with consistent schedules, and no large-scale scenes or special effects.
That's fast indeed.
On the day filming wrapped, Gu Heng hosted a wrap party for the crew on Yang Mi's behalf.
The location was chosen to be a Hunan restaurant near the company, which was quite suitable for a gathering of 70 or 80 people like the film crew.
The director, screenwriter, lead actors, and behind-the-scenes creators filled seven tables.
Jing Chao, as the male lead, sat at the main table, with Tang Yan sitting opposite him.
The two had been filming scenes together for almost two months, and now they could finally relax, their faces showing the relief of surviving a close call.
Dilraba sat quietly to the side, picking at her food.
Although this girl was a newcomer and played a minor supporting role in "Love is Not Blind," she performed every scene conscientiously.
No one caused a ruckus at the wrap party; the atmosphere was actually warmer than expected.
Gu Heng raised his glass and said a few polite words, nothing more than "Thank you for your hard work," "President Yang asked me to thank everyone on her behalf," and "She'll treat everyone to hot pot later."
When hot pot was mentioned, Dilraba subconsciously raised her head.
Gu Heng noticed her gaze and his heart skipped a beat.
That means the little fox has already entered the military training area and is no longer in the film crew, leaving only Dilraba.
Otherwise, who knows what strange food might appear at the wrap party.
It can only be said that the value of yogurt curds continues to rise.
After the wrap party, Gu Heng took a car back to the courtyard house.
Wang Gang was driving in front, while Gu Heng leaned back in the back seat with his eyes closed, resting.
I mentally went through the timeline for what followed.
There is still a lot of work to be done on Edge of Tomorrow.
Optimistically, filming will begin in June.
Liu Ye and the other actors are currently training in the military, and Yang Mi is also there.
Gu Heng would receive messages from Yang Mi every few days.
The content is largely the same.
"My leg is about to break."
When are you coming?
"Did you send the drill instructor to torture me?"
"Why aren't you here yet?"
The most recent post was made at 11 PM last night: "I can run five kilometers in no time now, pretty awesome, right? Goodnight."
After reading it, Gu Heng immediately replied with five words:
"Boss Yang is awesome."
The little fox instantly replied with a gritted teeth emoji.
"I learned a set of military boxing techniques today. You wait here."
"You can't beat me!"
「o(￣ヘ￣o#)!!」
