Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 908 Sponsorship

Director Wang is also scared. Last year's Spring Festival Gala almost ruined his future.

With the update of various equipment this year and the decision to return indoors, Director Wang is full of confidence.

But in the final analysis, no matter how well the Lantern Festival Gala or the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala are organized, they can never compare to the Spring Festival Gala.

I've been working at the TV station for a year. If something goes wrong again, I will really have no excuse at all.

Bringing Chen Changan over as a consultant is also a way to provide insurance for yourself.

"Director Wang, you have held many evening parties this year, so you still need me to be your consultant.

Today, the TV station is the best in the country in terms of both personnel and equipment.

I will no longer be a consultant. This year I will just be a spectator and enjoy the Spring Festival Gala."

Director Wang just wanted a safety net, and since Chen Changan didn't agree, he wouldn't force it.

Then Director Wang continued.

"My predecessor introduced the TV series Journey to the West from Xiao Ri Zi, which aroused the disgust of the national audience. That's why I came to the TV station.

Therefore, the first thing I did when I took office was to arrange for Director Yang to start filming our own TV series "Journey to the West".

Later, due to equipment problems with the Spring Festival Gala, we had no choice but to use the funds to introduce stage equipment.

Director Yang's crew was short of funds, thanks to the help of Director Chen.

Now that the TV series has been filmed for more than half, Director Yang told me that the funds are insufficient again.

This is also my fault. I thought too much about last year's Spring Festival Gala and ended up letting down the people of the whole country.

In order to hold the evening party successfully, all the funds were used to introduce stage equipment.

Looking across the country now, only the automobile factory has this strength, but I wonder if Director Chen is willing to help."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changan looked at Director Yang.

"Is the previous three million not enough? Please tell me how much more you need. I will try my best to help you."

Director Yang hesitated.

As the saying goes, once or twice, there is no third or fourth time. This is the second time he has spoken. Director Yang knows that although Chen Changan seems to be easy to talk to.

But being the leader of a large factory with tens of thousands of employees is not easy.

It would be impossible to do it again next time, but Director Yang didn't dare to ask for too much.

If Chen Changan was really scared away, there would be no unit in the country that could provide millions of dollars in sponsorship.

Director Yang then glanced at Zhu Ling who was sitting next to him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

“Chen Changan, I think Director Zhu is very similar to an important character in our TV series.

How about asking Director Zhu to come to our crew to make a cameo appearance?"

Before Chen Changan could speak, Zhu Ling waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, no. I've never acted in a TV series, and your crew is already short of funds.

If I have bad eyesight, it would be such a waste of film. Besides, if I were to act in a TV series, people would gossip about me when I review it later.”

Director Yang's idea was to let Zhu Ling waste more film so that Chen Changan could get more sponsorship.

Aren’t you going to sponsor the crew’s funds wasted by your wife?

"It's okay, it's okay. I don't care about fame, I only care about whether it fits the role.

You haven't even heard what role I want you to play yet, how do you know it's not possible?"

How could Zhu Ling, who was an actress, resist such temptation?

Director Yang looked at Zhu Ling who was looking expectant, and immediately spoke.

"I think you are very suitable for the role of the King of the Kingdom of Women. How about it? Are you interested in participating?"

Journey to the West, one of the four great classics, is something that everyone with a bit of culture has read.

Even if you haven't read it, you have heard many stories about Journey to the West.

For Zhu Ling, the role of the Queen of the Kingdom of Women was something she really liked. Then Zhu Ling looked at Chen Changan.

Chen Changan showed an expression that was neither amusing nor helpless.

It’s not that he was unwilling to sponsor, but Chen Changan always felt that since Zhu Ling had started to go into politics, she would most likely never perform in Journey to the West again in this lifetime.

Who would have thought that after all the twists and turns, it would be Zhu Ling who would play the Queen of the Kingdom of Women again.

He also didn't expect that Director Yang would use such a method to ask for sponsorship.

Although Zhu Ling didn't say anything, her expression was very clear.

"Two million, is that enough?"

Director Yang was overjoyed when he heard this. He looked at Director Wang and said quickly.

"That's enough. Thank you for the help of the car factory. After the TV series is broadcast, I will ask the post-production staff to make the name of the car factory big."

“That’s not necessary, our car factory’s products don’t need advertising.

However, your TV station has such good resources, and you can actually insert some simple advertisements when broadcasting TV dramas or news.

Even some advertisements can be inserted during the Spring Festival Gala to increase the TV station’s revenue.

By then, your TV station will even be able to be self-sufficient and will no longer need funding from higher authorities.

This way, if we want to shoot some TV series, we don’t have to worry about funding.”

Director Wang's eyes lit up. The method Chen Changan suggested was good. At least when applying for funds, he no longer had to look at other people's faces.

Zhu Ling, who was the head of the TV station's superior department, spoke up immediately.

“Currently, there is no accurate statement on the issue of advertising.

Some people believe that television stations are there to serve the people and should not aim to make a profit.

Including newspapers, newspapers in many regions are also talking about this issue.

At present, if you want to be self-sufficient through advertising, you still need the consensus of your superiors.”

Although Zhu Ling's words instantly poured cold water on Director Wang, who had just ignited his hope.

However, Director Wang was not discouraged. As the TV station needed more and more funds, he only needed to cry poor a few more times and there would still be a good chance for follow-up.

After the discussion was over, Director Wang and Director Yang prepared to leave.

Director Yang pulled Zhu Ling and said.

"I know you're busy with work. Wait for my news. It will take you at most a week, and I guarantee that we'll finish the shoot."

Zhu Ling nodded. She really liked the role of the Queen of the Kingdom of Women.

After Director Wang and Director Yang left, Chen Changan looked at Zhu Ling, who was looking very happy, and then said.

"You say that everything is empty, but you keep your eyes closed. If you open your eyes and look at me, I don't believe that your eyes are empty."

After hearing what Chen Changan said, Zhu Ling was stunned for a moment, and then she heard Chen Changan continue to speak.

"Your Majesty, the journey is dangerous and the wind and snow are merciless. I met that Tang Monk. I hope he will not forget me."

Zhu Ling then realized that Chen Changan was jealous.

He immediately laughed and sat next to Chen Changan.

"In my heart, you are my Tang Monk. As for other people, I don't care about them."

"Since Her Majesty the Queen has such a broad mind, there are countless people in front of you who need to be rescued."

Zhu Ling looked at Chen Changan with a red face, turned around and went back to the bedroom, and Chen Changan followed her with a smile.
