At the beginning, a native of the motherland was signed by Yang Mi!

This time, the venue for the meeting between the two parties was a high-end teahouse.

Walking into the teahouse, it feels like traveling through time and space, returning to the world of ancient literati.

The decoration layout of the teahouse is full of strong classical flavor of the Dragon Kingdom.

The color tone of the entire teahouse is mainly warm wood colors, paired with gorgeous lighting, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.

The floor is covered with exquisite carpets, which are soft and comfortable to step on. It also reduces the noise of walking, allowing people to immerse themselves in a peaceful environment.

In the center of the teahouse is a huge mahogany tea table, with various tea sets and tea leaves placed on it.

There are several antique wooden tea chairs scattered around the tea table, each of which is carved with exquisite patterns and full of artistic flavor.

Here, guests can appreciate the tea master's fluent tea-making skills, chat with friends about the world, and enjoy the tranquility and comfort.

Antique wooden furniture, exquisite porcelain, elegant screens and landscape paintings all demonstrate the breadth and depth of Chinese culture.

Soft lights shine in every corner, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Time seems to have frozen, allowing people to calm down, taste the fragrance of tea, and feel the beauty of life.

In addition to the tea table, there is also an independent library area in the teahouse.

The library is filled with a wealth of books and the Four Treasures of the Study, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the fragrance of books and ink while sipping tea.

There are also some independent private rooms for guests to have private gatherings or business negotiations.

Each private room is uniquely decorated and equipped with high-end audio equipment and comfortable sofas, allowing guests to enjoy high-quality audio-visual experience while enjoying high-quality tea service.

In addition, there is a small stage in the teahouse, where various traditional cultural performances such as Peking Opera, Kun Opera, etc. are held regularly.

Guests can enjoy wonderful performances and feel the charm of the traditional culture of the Dragon Kingdom while enjoying tea.

The tea here is also top-quality, and the price is calculated by the gram.

The reason why top-quality tea is expensive is first of all because of its high production cost.

In order to produce top-quality tea, tea garden owners need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in tea planting, fertilization, weeding, picking and other processes.

At the same time, in order to maintain the quality and taste of tea, careful processing and screening are required.

These high costs will eventually be passed on to the price of tea, making top-quality tea much more expensive than ordinary tea.

Secondly, the production of top-quality tea is very limited.

Due to the extremely high quality requirements for top-quality tea, tea garden owners usually only select a small number of tea tree buds for picking, and they also need to undergo strict screening and processing.

This makes the annual production of top-quality tea very limited, far from meeting market demand.

Therefore, the supply of top-quality tea in the market is very scarce, and the price naturally remains high.

The current middle class is pursuing Western-style luxury, but in fact, in terms of nobility, Chinese-style luxury is the real taste of the upper class.

Yang Mi and Wang Ting arrived at the private room appointed by each other as promised.

The private room was not big, with seats on three sides and a door on one side. Two of the chairs were already occupied by two middle-aged men who could not tell their age.

Their image may be a bit greasy in the eyes of young people, wearing Chinese linen shirts and various strings around their necks and wrists.

The man sitting in the main seat has a head full of white hair. I don't know if he dyed it himself or because of kidney deficiency.

In addition to the two of them, there was also a strong man standing at the door, looking intently, who should be similar to a bodyguard.

Wang Ting could tell that this bodyguard was anything but ordinary. His physical performance was the strongest among the people Wang Ting had ever seen. He should be a master.

It seems that the white-haired middle-aged man in the main seat should be the real owner Yang Mi is going to meet today.

Uncle Qiu.

Yang Mi said that the seniors in the circle all call him this, but as for his real name, no one knows and no one dares to ask.

And he has a great background, but no one knows the specific information. They only know that he has endless cash flow.

Whether it's a movie or a TV series, he can invest in it, as long as he can be persuaded, he can spend any amount of money, and it's a one-time investment, so the whole thing will be paid!

As for his power, it is said that both black and white have access to it.

To have such ability in the Beijing circle is enough to explain everything.

But Wang Ting is just curious, who is more awesome at home, this Uncle Qiu or the five from last time?

Seeing Yang Mi and Wang Ting come in, the two of them nodded to them with calm smiles, and didn't seem to mind that Yang Mi brought someone else with her.

The cold bodyguard on the side immediately came over to search Yang Mi and Wang Ting.

"No need."

The man in charge put down his tea bowl and said, and the bodyguard immediately stood back.

"Xiao Yang, do you mind if we two drink first? The air conditioner here is too cold. We are old, so drink some hot tea to warm up first."

Uncle Qiu said with a smile.

Yang Mi quickly apologized and said:

"What did Uncle Qiu say? We are here late. I will punish myself with a drink later!"

In fact, not only were they late, but they also came in ten minutes early, but it was the uncle who paid the money. Uncle Qiu had to follow whatever Yang Mi said.

Uncle Qiu didn't care:

"Haha, self-punishment is waived. This tea is more expensive than gold. Are you looking for an excuse to drink more?"

After that, everyone laughed.

At this time, it was the middle-aged man next to Uncle Qiu's turn to speak. He stood up and said:

"Uncle Qiu, Xiao Yang, you all know each other, so I won’t introduce them specifically. Xiao Yang, please take a seat as well, and your subordinates can just stand at the door."

The man who spoke is the introducer this time, and everyone in the circle calls him Master Ba. The so-called introducer is the middleman who connects the two parties, because a big boss like Uncle Qiu will not meet strangers casually, and there must be an intermediary. Only through introduction can it be done.

To put it bluntly, he is like a matchmaker.

Mr. Ba also has a very high status in the industry and is an old-timer. Mainly because he has good relations with some big guys, so he pretends to be powerful.

This is the reality. A half-hearted person calls himself Master, but the real boss is very low-key and can only be called uncle.

Yang Mi immediately took a seat on the third chair. At this time, the three chairs in the room were full. Wang Ting did not care about it. She stood at the door calmly.

It seemed that what the other party said beforehand"coming alone" meant that there was only one seat for Yang Mi. No matter how many people she brought, she could only stand at the door.

After Yang Mi took her seat, she took the initiative She poured tea for Uncle Qiu and Master Ba, and acted as if she were a descendant.

This was not only because she came here to ask for help.

She also knew that she was a big star in the eyes of ordinary people. , in front of these real big guys, it is not worth mentioning.

Master Ba was very satisfied with Yang Mi’s low profile and nodded:

"Okay, let’s all stop being polite. Uncle Qiu likes to speak quickly, and Xiao Yang is also an open-minded person. Let’s get straight to the point! Xiao Yang, tell me the number."

Yang Mi was slightly startled.

So direct?

This is not a small sum of 18 million. Shouldn't I introduce the cooperation project and cooperation plan first, and then withdraw the money?

At this moment, Yang Mi's hand was thick The document suddenly seemed a bit redundant.

Uncle Qiu also turned to look at her with a smile.

Only then did Yang Mi understand what it means to speak quickly, and it was indeed fast enough!

"Well...According to our preliminary budget, it will take about 80 million to 100 million..."

After saying this number, Yang Mi looked a little embarrassed.

Because this number is very high for a TV series!

It almost reaches the cost of shooting a high-quality movie.

Movies and TV series are both important forms of audio-visual art, but their production costs are significantly different. Among them, the shooting cost of movies is often higher than that of TV series.

Film shooting requires higher technical equipment and professional talents.

Movies usually use high-definition cameras and professional lighting and sound equipment, which are relatively expensive to purchase and maintain.

In addition, film shooting requires more professional talents, including photographers, directors, actors, etc., and their salaries are usually higher than those of the actors and crew of TV series.

Secondly, (to read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The shooting cycle of movies is usually longer, resulting in increased costs.

The shooting cycle of a movie often takes half a year or more, while the shooting of a TV series can be completed within a few weeks or months.

Long-term shooting means higher costs such as venue rental, equipment rental, and personnel salary.

Movie production requires higher marketing and publicity expenses.

After the film is produced, it needs to attract audiences through 300 publicity and marketing activities. These expenses include poster production, trailer production, publicity activities, etc.

In contrast, TV series are usually broadcast through TV stations or online platforms, and promotion costs are relatively low.

But Yang Mi definitely didn’t ask for more, because you get what you pay for.

Originally, she had no psychological burden on this number. After all, it was calculated by her. If she felt it was inappropriate, she would not come today.

And her embarrassment at this moment is because of the order problem...

It stands to reason that she needs to give a good introduction to the potential and selling points of the drama first, so that investors have confidence that it will definitely make money, and then make an offer.

This way it won't look out of place.

But Uncle Qiu asked her to quote directly as soon as she came up, which seemed like the price was a bit high....

The scene fell into a brief silence.

Yang Mi felt a little nervous.

Isn't it because the price is too high and it scares the other party?

"It's like this, this drama is guaranteed to make money without losing money, because..."

Yang Mi quickly wanted to explain, telling the other party that the price was definitely not a loss, and she was not asking for it randomly. It was expensive.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, Master Ba glared at her! He frowned and said:

"Tsk! Why don't you understand the rules? Uncle Qiu hasn't spoken yet. You can talk later."

Yang Mi immediately shut up and looked at Uncle Qiu with apologetic eyes, waiting for his reaction.[]

Uncle Qiu tasted the food unhurriedly and said calmly:

"Ordinary people may feel that this cup of tea is no different from the reception tea in restaurants outside, but one gram of tea costs tens of thousands of yuan. Why?"

Ba Ye immediately said:

"Uncle Qiu, as you said, you get what you pay for!"

Uncle Qiu smiled:

"Yep!"

After speaking, he looked at Yang Mi:

"Money is not an issue, it doesn’t matter whether it’s 100 million or 200 million, but you get what you pay for, so I have to inspect the goods first....Only then do you know if it’s worth it."

As soon as Uncle Qiu said this, Yang Mi's expression changed slightly.

Inspection?

How does it sound ?...Something weird? ?.
