In a Japanese restaurant in Beijing, Rong Guang followed the maid and entered a spacious private room.

There were already several guests in the private room. Seeing Rong Guang arrive, Director Xu from Yangma's production department took the initiative to introduce: "Director Rong, these two are Mr. Nakata Heiki and Mr. Ikegami Takama from NHK."

"This is the first time we meet, please take care of me."

"Nakata-kun, Ikegami-kun, please take good care of me."

Rongguang's skilled Japanese etiquette and exchange of business cards made the two guests from Benzi's eyes shine.

Benzi is a very hierarchical society. Their red tape is actually very necessary. You can quickly judge the status of strangers and determine your own level. This can save a lot of time and enable you to quickly conduct social activities.

The restaurant quickly served high-end set meals. While drinking sake, a few people started chatting.

Director Xu first raised the topic: "Director Rong, the reason why Mr. Nakata and Mr. Ikegami came to China is because of your movie "The Good Doctor". I heard that you were filming the theme of the Three Kingdoms, and NHK was very interested."

Since several people knew Japanese, Rong Guang communicated directly in Japanese: "It is an honor for me to be chosen by NHK. Forgive me for being rude, Mr. Nakata, how did NHK get the news?"

"Rong Sang, you are too polite." Nakata Bingyi said with a smile, "We got the news from Shueisha, and then contacted your mother in China."

NHK is a very special mass media organization in Japan. It should be a state-owned television station in nature. As long as they can receive NHK signals, they can charge fees and are quite wealthy. They are not subject to the supervision of the Japanese government at all and have considerable independence.

Like the big conglomerates in this book, there are also many factions within NHK. So don’t use left-wing and right-wing classifications. Maybe the last program is about world peace, and the next program is about right-wing words and deeds. Just like a schizophrenic mad dog, in the end

What I like is biting the government.

Of course, among NHK's programs, some have a high reputation. The most famous one is of course the Red and White Song Festival. But the Dahe Opera is not bad either and has always been NHK's golden signature.

Let me introduce here, what is a Taiga drama? It is a long historical drama of Benzi. The main theme is the story of Benzi's Warring States period, followed by the story of the shogunate.

If we switch to China, the scope is too broad. "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" belongs to the Dahe Drama, and "Yongzheng Dynasty" also belongs to the Dahe Drama. The theme of the Three Kingdoms in it must be the king of kings in the Confucian cultural circle. No wonder

NHK will take the initiative to come to you.

"Director Rong." Director Xu on the side advised, "If "The Doctor" can be co-produced by China and Japan, it will not only promote cultural exchanges between China and Japan, but also reduce your investment risks. NHK is very sincere, they just want to

I want all domestic copyrights for this book.”

Ikegami Takama also smiled and said: "Yong-san, we at NHK appreciate your achievements in the film field. This is also an important reason why we decided to co-produce. We at NHK will invest 400 million yen to help create 50 episodes of your "Jin Yi"

". And you will be the producer and starring role, occupying an absolute position. And will not interfere with your creation. Everything on the crew will be made by you in the final decision!"

Rong Guang smiled. This condition is indeed sincere. He is not opposed to Sino-Japanese co-production. Originally, he was filming "The Humane Doctor" and planned to sell it to Japanese and Korean TV stations.

However, Takama Ikegami seemed to have something in his words. So Rong Guang asked: "Ikegami-kun, what are your NHK conditions?"

Takama Ikegami is confident. That's 400 million yen, so I don't believe that the Chinese won't be tempted. Moreover, the copyright protection of the book is relatively good. As long as the quality of this TV series is excellent, it can be taken back by just releasing the video tape based on the theme of the Three Kingdoms.

this investment.

Besides, a Sino-Japanese joint venture to film the Three Kingdoms theme? That will definitely cause a nationwide sensation in this book. After returning to China, the two of them will immediately become the national heroes of this book! What an honor is that?

As for 400 million yen? It doesn’t matter if it’s 100 million or 200 million more. Anyway, NHK is a state-owned television station, so you can make whatever money you want!

"Rong Sang, since it is a Sino-Japanese co-production, I hope you can accept our recommendation. We also have many excellent actors in our script."

These two writers were calm and collected, and they were waiting for Rong Guang to agree. The request was not high, it was just a heroine and a few supporting roles. We spent 400 million yen in real money!

Rong Guang was delighted, but he flatly refused: "This is impossible. All the actors are mainland Chinese actors. This is a matter of principle."

Rong Guang doesn't even use Hong Kong and Taiwan actors. Just because Hong Kong and Taiwan actors' speaking skills are not good enough, they feel separated from other actors in the drama. There is no discrimination here. If there are Hong Kong and Taiwan actors who speak fluent Mandarin,

He is still willing to use it.

However, Rong Guang's refusal shocked those people. Director Xu quickly advised: "Director Rong, can't we be accommodating on this matter?"

Nakata Bingyi also couldn't help but said: "Rong Sang, I would like to venture to say that our request is not excessive. Would you like to think about it again?"

Rongguang smiled and explained: "My creative principle is to do my best to be the best! If you script actors are used in "The Good Doctor", the audience will be very uncomfortable. How could there be script actors in "Three Kingdoms"?

?The same will be true for your Japanese and Korean audiences. On the contrary, they will recognize that all actors in it are mainland Chinese actors. This is like when filming the Dahe drama "Da'ao", there were Chinese actors in it. Will your audience feel comfortable with it?

?”

Nakata Bingyi frowned and thought for a while: "Rong Sang, to be honest with you, if there are no actors from our script in it, I'm afraid that our NHK will not be able to approve the investment?"

Rong Guang nodded and expressed his understanding: "Then I can give in. I will become the director of "Ren Yi" and form a Sino-Japanese joint director team. You NHK recommends one person, Director Xu, and your Yang mother recommends another person. What?

Sample?"

"Rong Sang, you have given me a difficult problem!"

"..."

…

The discussions that day came to no result.

Rong Guang actually doesn't care. With NHK's 400 million yen, it would definitely be the best. But if not, "Jin Yi" will still start filming as planned.

Film appointments were sent out, and actors were cast for each role. Jiang Qinqin got the role of Cai Wenji, and she was finally satisfied. But now she still lacked a heroine.

"Young Master Guang, someone has just sent this to me through some connections. Why don't you just give it a slap?" Yang Sa sent another piece of information about a female artist.

Rong Guang glanced at it, MMP! Isn't this Liu Qianqian? Why did she appear in advance so hauntingly?

"That's right? Xiao Yang, you didn't look at your age?" Rong Guang scolded with a smile.
