Beijing.
In the suburbs, in film and television bases, in studios, on buses.
No one spoke on the entire set, and "The Beginning" was being recorded intensely.
Tan Yue stared at the monitor in front of him attentively.
Repeated cycles made "Xiao Heyun"'s body weaker and weaker, and he was even more sweaty when he woke up this time.
Li Shiqing next to her shed anxious tears. The aunt who took the medicine kept asking about Xiao Heyun's physical condition. Seeing everyone's concern, perhaps at this time, the seeds of the need to save the lives of the people in the car were planted in the hearts of the two of them.
Seeing that the waking time did not advance again, the two felt that this might be the last cycle, and this was also the last chance to save the lives of the people in the car.
Li Shiqing looked at the car full of people, shedding tears unwillingly, and said in a trembling voice: "That is also the last chance for people in this car to survive. What should we do?"
"what should we do?"
"Are we... do we really want to get off the car?" Li Shiqing asked again.
Xiao Heyun took a deep breath: "Haven't we already decided?"
Faced with this moment, both people were caught in a dilemma. They knew there was a bomb in the car, but they did not have the ability to save everyone.
After going through so many cycles, Li Shiqing expressed her true feelings to Xiao Heyun beside her.
Xiao Heyun looked out the car window, frowning slightly and lost in thought.
As the station approached, Li Shiqing made her decision: "I won't get off the bus, I'm sorry."
Li Shiqing stood up and made room for Xiao Heyun to get off by himself.
"Ding dong, we've arrived at Yanjiang East Road Station, please get off at the back door..."
Xiao Heyun stood up and made his own decision. He took Li Shiqing's hand and said, "For the last time."
Their eyes met.
"Ka!" Tan Yue shouted loudly with a loudspeaker.
Zhang Wenhua and Liu Qian trotted to Tan Yue and asked anxiously: "Director, how about this one?"
Tan Yue said with a smile: "Both of you performed well, and you controlled the characters very well. Not bad."
Liu Qian said: "I would like to thank Director Tan for his guidance before filming started."
Then the three people sat in front of the monitor and watched the clip carefully.
Tan Yue said: "Just keep this one."
Zhang Wenhua and Liu Qian breathed a sigh of relief. Five scenes of this plot had been filmed. Fortunately, this time it was finally successful.
After the break, the crew of "The Beginning" once again entered into intense shooting.
...
A week later.
Tan Yue, who was busy on the crew of "The Beginning", received a call from Tian Wenbin.
"Everyone take a rest first." After saying that, Tan Yue deliberately found a quiet place.
Tian Wenbin smiled and said, "I'm not bothering you, Mr. Tan."
Tan Yue: "It's okay, I'm just taking a break now. Congratulations, Director Tian, for officially serving as the director of Sichuan TV Station."
Tian Wenbin said from the bottom of his heart: "Isn't it because of you, Mr. Tan? If you didn't have so many TV series and variety shows with amazing ratings, it's still unknown whether I could be promoted."
Tan Yue smiled and said: "Director Tian, you praise me too highly. I can't bear it."
The two people on both sides of the phone laughed.
Tian Wenbin asked tentatively: "Mr. Tan, how is the filming of your new drama going?"
Tian Wenbin actually made this phone call to ask how far the filming of "The Beginning" had progressed and when it would be completed.
Tan Yue thought for a while: "Probably half of the plot has been filmed now. It will take a while before it is completed."
Tan Yue could also guess the purpose of Tian Wenbin's call at this time, so he simply told him directly.
Now that this topic has been discussed, Tian Wenbin also expressed his thoughts directly: "It turns out that we are already halfway through filming. Mr. Tan, I want to talk to you about the premiere copyright of "The Beginning"."
Listening to Tan Yue's silence, Tian Wenbin suddenly felt that he might be a little abrupt, and then added: "Well, Mr. Tan, if you have time tomorrow night, let's have a meal together."
Tan Yue paused and said, "Aren't you in Sichuan Province?"
Tian Wenbin: "It's okay, I'll go there tomorrow."
The words had reached this point, and Tan Yue agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Tan Yue shook his head funnyly, thinking: Tian Wenbin has just been transferred to the director of Sichuan Provincial Television Station. He must have a lot to do. How come he still has time to come to the capital now.
Return to the set and continue working.
In fact, Tian Wenbin was indeed very busy. After coming to Sichuan TV Station, he found that the situation was worse than imagined.
It can be said that the current Sichuan Provincial Television Station does not even have a decent TV program, let alone a TV series that can take on the leading role.
If you want Sichuan TV Station to improve, it is best to find a TV series that can bring the dead back to life.
Tan Yue's reputation in the industry has reached an immeasurable level thanks to his three TV series.
Once the production of "The Beginning" is announced, many TV stations will surely compete for the rights to premiere it.
After understanding the economic situation of Sichuan TV Station, Tian Wenbin has no confidence in grabbing food from the tiger's mouth.
That's why he was so anxious.
Tian Wenbin asked his assistant to immediately book a flight to the capital, simply took some documents and went straight to the airport.
...
the next day.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's get here today. We will continue shooting tomorrow." Tan Yue shouted with a loudspeaker.
It just so happened that the content shot in the past few days was basically the plot inside the bus. The entire accident happened within a few hours. The weather requirements were strict and the changes could not be too big.
So at around four o'clock in the afternoon, Tan Yue ended today's shooting.
After coming out of the film and television base, Tan Yue had already changed into more formal clothes.
Put down the car windows, breathe in the fresh air around you, feel the refreshment of the evening, and feel much better physically and mentally.
Since the filming of "The Beginning" began, Tan Yue has spent most of his time on the set and rarely comes out.
During the day, I direct the scene, and at night I have to review the footage. If I’m not satisfied with it, I have to reshoot it the next day.
Tan Yue felt that it was really tiring for one person to play so many roles.
There was still some time before the appointed time, so Tan Yue didn't hurry to rush over. He drove very slowly and took in the scenery of the suburbs. He thought: The environment here is not bad. After a while, he can take Tzuyu out to enjoy the scenery of the suburbs together. .
Half an hour later, when he saw the Chang'an Building in front of him, Tan Yue said with emotion: "I haven't been back for so long. I really miss this place."
The hotel Tian Wenbin booked happened to be near Chang'an Building.
Tan Yue gave the car key to the hotel staff, and then led the staff to the private room booked by Tian Wenbin.
Tian Wenbin greeted Tan Yue's arrival with a smile: "Mr. Tan, I'm really troubling you. You are so busy, and yet I ask you to come out for this meal at this time."
Tan Yue: "Director Tian, you are so kind."
Tian Wenbin said: "Mr. Tan, see what you like to eat and order some more dishes."
Tan Yue said with a smile: "Director Tian, let me recommend this restaurant's specialties to you. They taste very good."
After the hotel waiter left, Tian Wenbin poured two cups of tea: "Mr. Tan, how do you like this tea?"
The tea was brought by Tian Wenbin from Sichuan Province.
Tan Yue tasted it carefully and asked: "Director Tian, how is the situation at Sichuan TV Station?"
Tian Wenbin may have encountered difficulties, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious to find him.
Tian Wenbin took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "The situation of Sichuan TV Station can no longer be described as miserable. A provincial TV station does not even have a decent program, and its ratings are basically the highest among all provincial TV stations. Bottom.”
Tan Yue nodded. It seemed that what Tian Wenbin said was really the same as what he imagined. It was worse.
Because Tan Yue would continue to return to the set for filming tomorrow, the two of them did not drink.
Tian Wenbin told Tan Yue his frustrations while eating: "Sigh... I really didn't expect that Sichuan TV Station is still using the system that Hedong TV Station has phased out for a long time, which greatly limits the development of the TV station."
"Also, there are no new TV series. They are basically reruns. How can we increase the ratings?"
Tian Wenbin took a sip of tea, his mind was elsewhere and he couldn't taste the tea.
"The most important thing now is to improve the system first. Otherwise, even if there are good programs, the ratings will still be a problem."
Tan Yue nodded and could only say some cheering words.
Tian Wenbin pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tan, this matter has made me upset recently, so I couldn't help but talk a bit too much."
"fine."
Tian Wenbin continued to pour water into the cup, coughed slightly, and got down to the topic: "Mr. Tan, our Sichuan TV station wants to buy the first broadcast rights of "The Beginning"."
Regarding the reform of the Sichuan TV station system, Tian Wenbin has already thought of a reform plan, and now he is thinking that he needs a drama with high traffic and high quality to support it.
Tian Wenbin did not hide anything and directly stated the highest price he could offer: "We want to buy the premiere rights of this drama for 50 million."
After finishing speaking, Tian Wenbin looked at Tan Yue seriously. Now Tan Yue can be said to be the guarantee of ratings. Every TV series is popular. He is a little worried that Tan Yue may not agree to the price.
Tian Wenbin was also helpless. Sichuan TV station was not as rich as Hedong TV station. Fifty million was already an unprecedentedly high price for them.
For Tan Yue, his price range is between 40 million and 60 million. The drama "The Beginning" is very short, with only fifteen episodes, and it is biased towards imagination.
Tian Wenbin's ability to pay 50 million was in line with his expectations.
However, Tan Yue did not rush to agree: "Director Tian, this drama is funded by our company. I can't make the decision by myself. I need to go back and discuss it with people in the company."
Tian Wenbin sighed softly in his heart and said, "No problem, Mr. Tan, I'll wait for your reply."
This is not Tian Wenbin urging Tan Yue. He values this drama very much. Whether Sichuan TV Station can turn around depends on this drama.
Tan Yue said: "No problem, Director Tian. When I have news from here, I will notify you as soon as possible."
After meal.
After seeing off Tan Yue, Tian Wenbin did not rush back to his room. Instead, he sat on the curb and smoked a cigarette.
The streets were busy with traffic, and people passing by were chatting and laughing.
Tian Wenbin felt that he was in another world. He seemed to be unable to hear the sound of car horns and the voices of passers-by around him. He took a strong puff and blew out smoke to hide his sigh.
Tan Yue did not give a clear answer during this meal, which made Tian Wenbin feel very uneasy.
The purchase of the premiere rights to "The Beginning" turned out to be exactly as I imagined, and it didn't go smoothly.
Tian Wenbin stamped out the cigarette butts that still had some sparks with his feet.
"Anyway, I've worked hard. I'll just have to wait and see if I can win." He thought in his mind.
Tian Wenbin picked up the cigarette butts on the ground and threw them into the trash can, then turned and returned to the hotel.
Tian Wenbin had just returned to the room and was about to take a shower. Before he could take off his clothes, his cell phone rang in his pocket.
Tian Wenbin found his cell phone from his pocket, looked at the caller ID, and raised his eyebrows slightly. It was a call from Li Jian.
Pressing the answer button and putting the phone to his ear, Tian Wenbin said: "Hello, Director-General."
Subconsciously, Tian Wenbin was about to continue calling his old leader director, but then suddenly remembered that the old leader had been promoted and was now the deputy director of the General Administration of Culture.
Li Jian's laughter came over the phone and he said, "You can call our relationship whatever you want, there's no need to stick to this."
After speaking, Li Jian asked: "Old Tian, where are you? How are you doing at Sichuan TV Station?"
Tian Wenbin hesitated for a moment, then said: "Director, it's okay to be on Sichuan TV Station. I'm... in the capital now."
On the phone, Li Jian was a little surprised and asked doubtfully: "Beijing? What are you doing in Beijing?"
Tian Wenbin told Li Jian that he wanted to purchase the first broadcast rights of "The Beginning" and came to the capital to discuss the matter with Tan Yue.
After listening to Tian Wenbin's words, Li Jian couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
I really don’t know whether it is right or wrong to let Tian Wenbin leave Hedong TV Station.
Li Jian knew very well that the Hedong Provincial Television Station could not achieve such a good situation today without the close cooperation with Tan Yue.
But the person who had close contact with Tan Yue before was Tian Wenbin. Although he supported Tian Wenbin's approach, he didn't have many contacts with Tan Yue.
Now Tian Wenbin has left Hedong Provincial TV Station and gone to Sichuan Provincial TV Station to serve as the director. Now he has to purchase the first broadcast copyright of "The Beginning" on behalf of Sichuan Provincial TV Station. It has to be said that Director Liu Yang of Hedong Provincial TV Station has not realized that If Tan Yue is more important, then Hedong TV Station will be in some danger.
However, Li Jian didn't intend to remind Liu Yang that he was no longer the director of Hedong Provincial Television. Besides, Liu Yang didn't really buy his fault. He rarely came to him to ask about the situation. If Liu Yang didn't come to him, he would also Don't mind your own business.
Hedong Provincial TV Station has the foundation laid by him and has several top programs. Even if it goes downhill, it will not fall too badly.
"That's it, then you can just wait for the news," Li Jian said. "By the way, whenever I have time, I will come to the capital. I have to do my best to be a landlord."
