As a result, Xu Qingdong, an old man, hesitated for a long time and came up with the number of 300,000.

After hearing this number, Cao Zhiqiang almost spit out his wine.

Damn it, Cao Zhiqiang is no longer a young boy now, and he also knows the actual purchasing power of RMB today.

Three hundred thousand is definitely not a small amount of money in this era. It is enough to make a serious movie.

But Mr. Xu Qingdong only wants to make a short TV series, which is initially expected to only last about sixty minutes.

This is a bit excessive. The cost of making a TV show is completely different from that of making a movie.

If you were to make a fantasy drama like Journey to the West, I wouldn’t say anything else. If you were just to make a modern musical, it would only last about 60 minutes and require a budget of 300,000 yuan, which is outrageous.

In fact, this is nothing, the main reason is that Cao Zhiqiang is not optimistic about Xu Qingdong's script.

Because the musical TV series Xu Qingdong is filming is called "Golden House".

The play mainly tells the story of a young woman named Wen Jing who loved music so much that she opened a music restaurant "Golden House" with her companions. Through hard work, she realized her dream of being a singer and gained love.

Not to mention that the story is extremely vulgar, but the key to this kind of musical TV series is that music is very important, so you have to have a reliable music producer to make some reliable music.

As a result, the music producer named Wang that Xu Qingdong found was unknown. The key was that he brought out the theme songs and interludes that had been written by someone else. Cao Zhiqiang frowned when he saw it.

Moreover, according to Xu Qingdong, this drama is a musical. If you have to dance if you don't agree with someone, and sing if you don't agree with someone, this is a bit excessive.

This country is not India, and there is no singing and dancing atmosphere. If you try hard, you will only become a laughing stock.

It's okay to let Cao Zhiqiang invest, but he is not the one who is taken advantage of, and he will not get 300,000 yuan in vain.

Just kidding, I just transferred Wu Zemin to a job. With Cao Zhiqiang's current strength, he can't even use 50,000, let alone 300,000.

In this era when a household with 10,000 yuan is considered a rich person, 300,000 yuan is really not money at all.

But the most important thing is that this movie is a bad movie at first glance. If Cao Zhiqiang casts it, this will be an indelible stain.

Although Cao Zhiqiang was very resistant, after all, it was the leader of the Ministry of Culture who initiated the initiative, so it was not easy to refuse directly.

So Cao Zhiqiang simply came up with an original idea and said that investment was okay, but he didn't like the script. If he wanted to film it, he had to film what he wanted to film.

Xu Qingdong was not happy at first, thinking that Cao Zhiqiang did not understand drama.

As a result, Cao Zhiqiang first emphasized his identity as a famous poet, and then criticized his script on the spot, which made him blush.

Just when Xu Qingdong was so angry that Cao Zhiqiang wanted to leave, Cao Zhiqiang changed his tone again and told the story he wanted to film.

This story is very simple, but it captured Xu Qingdong's heart immediately.

Not only Xu Qingdong was very interested after listening to it, but also everyone present was very interested after listening to it.

So what is the simple story Cao Zhiqiang told?

It's very simple. Cao Zhiqiang just slightly modified the story content of "The Garden of Words" by Makoto Shinkai in his previous life and told it in his own language.

Not only that, after he finished telling the story, he also took out his harmonica and played the melody of "Rain", the theme song of "The Garden of Words".

In this way, one story and one song directly conquered everyone present.
