Chapter 383 Investing in the drama, advertising placement
"Mr. Jiang, I have reserved a private room. Don't stand outside talking."
Gao Qimin didn't expect that Jiang Hua had heard of Lu Xiaowei, and the two chatted as soon as they met.
"That's right, Mr. Jiang, it's cold now, let's go in and chat."
Lu Xiaowei is very energetic now. Jiang Hua knows about the TV series he is filming. This is good news for him, at least the hope of attracting investment is greatly increased.
The group of people walked and chatted, and entered the private room they had booked before. The environment of a five-star hotel was not a choice, and the private room booked by Takasaki Min was the highest grade in the hotel.
"Mr. Jiang, you've had a hard journey. Let me hang up your coat for you."
Li Bing was invited by Gao Qimin to accompany him because of his good looks and eloquence.
She was in the private room just now, preparing tea for everyone. This was originally the waiter's job, but she took it over. Director Gao told him before coming here that he wanted Mr. Jiang to feel the importance and sincerity of the TV station to him.
"Director Gao, you are too polite. In fact, I am not picky about the environment, so there is no need to spend so much money."
Jiang Hua just glanced at the dishes on the table and knew that Gao Qimin was bleeding heavily today.
"Mr. Jiang, you are a friend of our TV station. We always do our best to entertain friends."
Takasaki Min's posture is very low.
The main reason is that although Jianghua promised to invest 300 million, the agreement has not yet been signed and the funds have not been received. This is the time when the TV station needs Jianghua the most.
"Everyone, please sit down. Don't stand. I don't have much etiquette and I don't like to be polite."
Jiang Hua waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Xiaoqi, sit next to me."
Su Zhirou pulled Jiang Siqi, who had a somewhat restrained expression, and sat down next to Jiang Hua.
Although it was her first time to participate in such a banquet, she handled it gracefully and gracefully. On the contrary, her cousin Jiang Siqi was too young and couldn't let go.
On the TV station, only Gao Qimin and Li Bing came. The main reason is that Gao Qimin has not figured out Jiang Hua's temper yet, and is worried that people talk too much. If someone accidentally says the wrong thing, he will offend the God of Wealth.
Lu Xiaowei was accompanying the guests. Today he asked his old classmates for help. By chance, Gao Qimin hosted a banquet for Jiang Hua, so he invited him to drink with him.
In addition, more or less, I also saved some thoughts to help my old classmates.
When Lu Xiaowei saw Jiang Hua, he was interested in the TV series he was filming, so he specially selected some interesting stories on the set and told them to him as jokes to enliven the atmosphere. He was very smart and did not raise investment as soon as they met.
thing.
"It turns out that this is how TV dramas are made."
After all, Jiang Siqi is still a student and has not met the director yet. It is very interesting to listen to Lu Xiaowei talk about the filming process of the TV series.
"Little classmate, are you interested in playing a guest role in my play?"
In order to flatter Jiang Hua, Lu Xiaowei worked hard enough and directly assigned a role to Jiang Siqi.
Anyway, this kind of high school student supporting role is also needed in the drama. To arrange a few small scenes, Jiang Siqi's acting skills are not required.
"Can I really do that?"
Jiang Siqi was surprised and happy, and then turned her attention to Jiang Hua.
She didn't know the bearded director, and she didn't know if he was reliable, so she must have asked her cousin for advice.
"Director Lu, is there a lack of funds for the TV series you are currently filming?"
Jiang Hua could tell what the other person was thinking at a glance.
Lu Xiaowei obviously brought the crew to the Magic City, but in the later drama "Liu Huifang's Love", there is no plot in the Magic City. There is only one possibility, because the funds are not enough, so this plot was cut.
"Mr. Jiang, do you plan to invest?"
Lu Xiaowei felt that the surprise came too suddenly.
Before he even started to mention this, the other party actually took the initiative to speak.
When chatting with Lu Xiaowei in Jianghua, Gao Qimin kept smiling and watching. Seeing that his old classmate had hope of attracting investment, he was really happy for him.
"How much money is left short?"
Jiang Hua pondered for a moment and asked.
If it was an ordinary TV series, forget it, but since he had the chance to encounter this phenomenal drama that was popular across the country, he would definitely invest some money in it.
Besides, he also had some ideas of his own and planned to discuss them with Lu Xiaowei later.
"There is still a shortfall of almost 500,000 yuan. If it is inconvenient for Mr. Jiang, he can invest 200,000 to 300,000 yuan."
Lu Xiaowei said cautiously.
He was afraid that Jiang Hua would think it was too much, so he took the initiative to lower his investment expectations to two or three hundred thousand.
"I will invest one million for you, but there is a small condition."
Jiang Hua said with a smile.
"Jiang always wants to add actors?"
Lu Xiaowei was happy and worried at the same time. He was happy that the amount of Jianghua's investment exceeded his expectations, but he was worried that the other party had conditions. Generally, such conditions were used to add people to the crew.
However, his TV series has already been filmed halfway, and the leading actors have been decided, so it will be very troublesome to add people at last.
"It's not about becoming an actor. I don't plan to develop into the film and television industry, and I don't have any actors to support me."
Jiang Hua shook his head and said.
"What does Mr. Jiang mean?"
Lu Xiaowei is a little confused now, not knowing what the other party wants to do.
Gao Qimin and Li Bing also stared at Jiang Hua, wondering what conditions the other party would offer if he invested 1 million in the crew.
"Director Lu, I would like to take the liberty to ask, is there any noodle-eating scene in your play?"
Although Jiang Hua had watched this TV series in his previous life, his impression was already blurred.
"I guess so. Mr. Jiang really confused me about such a small detail."
Lu Xiaowei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was the director, but he really didn't pay attention to whether there was a scene of eating noodles in the play. After all, who would care about such small details?
"I have an idea. Can you replace the scene of eating noodles with eating instant noodles? It doesn't need to be too deliberate. It should be more life-like. It is best to use a casual lens to capture the packaging bag."
Jiang Hua’s little idea is advertising placement.
This is not a strange marketing strategy in later generations, but in this era, no one has ever done it like this.
"Mr. Jiang, do you want to advertise?"
Lu Xiaowei is certainly not stupid if he can be a director. He immediately understood Jiang Hua's purpose.
He had heard of advertisements being inserted at the beginning and end of TV series, but he had never seen Jiang Hua's method of advertising.
"I own an instant noodle company, and I want to do a little publicity for my products."
Jiang Hua nodded and admitted.
Given the popularity of Lu Xiaowei's drama, if he could spend one million to get the right to place ads, he would really make a lot of money.
Jiang Siqi sat aside and blinked in confusion. Didn't his cousin say he opened a clothing factory before? How come he was selling instant noodles in the blink of an eye?
"Mr. Jiang, although we have never done this before, I think it is feasible and will not have a big impact on the entire drama."
Lu Xiaowei thought for a while and answered.
Just by interspersing a few scenes of eating instant noodles in the drama, he could get one million. He felt that he had made a lot of money.
"Also, in your drama, there should be scenes of riding motorcycles, right?"
Jiang Hua didn't stop and continued.
He is now a shareholder of Jialin Motorcycle Factory, and it is necessary to advertise the products of his factory.
"Mr. Jiang, do you still have a motorcycle factory?"
Lu Xiaowei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that pie would not fall from the sky, and the one million was really not that easy to get.
"Don't worry, Jialin Motorcycle, a well-known brand, will definitely not discredit your TV series."
Jiang Hua patted his shoulder and said carelessly.
