Chapter 738 Queue (seeking a monthly ticket)
Perhaps the heating season has not yet ended, and the sky in the capital is gray, which makes people feel that there is a layer of gray veil on the sky, as if they can't even see the sun.
The weather here is colder than that in Quannan.
Looking up at the sky, Lu Dong asked, "Lu Kun, you have been a soldier. Is there such a thing that the smog floating in the sky can block the exploration of military satellites?"
Lu Kun scratched his head: "I don't know much. Brother Dong, I am an ordinary army when I joined the army. I mainly drive the leaders, not technical troops, so I don't know much about these."
Xu Qin asked, "Mr. Lu, where did you know the gossip?"
"Forgot." Lu Dong said vaguely: "Which newspaper on the plane might have been on the plane when he came..."
After a few words, a Mercedes-Benz business car drove over and parked in front of the hotel.
Xu Qin said, "Get on the bus."
This is a vehicle sent by Zhao Laogen. Lu Dong, Lu Kun, Xu Qin and her assistant got on the bus together and rushed to the hotel where Zhao Laogen held a banquet.
For specific situation, when Lu Dong came here yesterday, Xu Qin gave a detailed introduction, and Lu Dong had a brief exchange of opinions with her in the car.
As I got off work, the road was very congested and I stopped for a long time without moving.
There were too many parking times. Lu Kun was used to driving in Qingzhao and University Town without any obstacles, and couldn't help but say, "It's so congested!"
The driver said, "It's done now, and it will be turned into a parking lot in a while."
Lu Dong glanced at the watch: "It's not too late, keep calm."
In recent years, the capital was the first to be congested. After 2010, the country had the highest congestion index, and it was Quannan for several consecutive years.
The big county town is a fictional reputation.
Half an hour later, I arrived at the Sihe Courtyard near the Forbidden City and the car stopped.
Lu Dong got out of the car and took a look. Opposite was a private restaurant transformed from a courtyard. There were big red lanterns hanging on the door of the huge courtyard. Looking inside, the bluestone screen wall blocked the view.
Zhao Laogen seemed to be waiting in the concierge. When he saw Lu Dong, he immediately came out and shook hands with Lu Dong: "Mr. Lu, I had a lot of things yesterday and didn't go to the airport to greet him. I was rude."
Lu Dong said: "Teacher Zhao, we are all old friends, so don't be so polite."
Zhao Laogentou led the way: "Mr. Lu, please come inside."
In the concierge, a deputy manager of the restaurant kept talking with Zhao Laogen. When he saw Zhao Laogen bringing a young man in so politely, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide and prick up his ears curiously.
The capital is deep, so there are some things that needless to say, but it is rare to make Zhao Laogen so respectful and so young.
Their private restaurant is very famous in the capital and has a high positioning. There are few ordinary people who come here, and it is the most basic skill to recognize people.
The deputy manager looked carefully and found that the young man was Zhang Mo's face, and he had never seen him before.
However, the accent seems to be coming from Taidong.
Private restaurants are quite particular. In a small courtyard, there is only a table in the main hall, and the quiet atmosphere and secretness are guaranteed.
Today, Lu Dong and Zhao Laogen invited someone from a set of things to come for dinner, and they arrived a little earlier.
There is no need to worry about wine and food. Zhao Laogen, who is quite familiar with the capital, has already prepared it.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the two of them entered the courtyard one after another.
Lu Dong didn't know each other, so he watched Zhao Laogen and Xu Qin act and followed him to meet him.
Both of them are in their forties, one has a bald forehead and the other has long hair and big split hair.
When the two sides shook hands, Xu Qin introduced that Bald Ding is Huang Bo, the director of the advertising department of the first set.
When he arrived yesterday, Lu Dong heard from Xu Qin that this person is a powerful leader in Lu's catering industry. Since last year, the four catering brands under Lu's catering industry have thrown out tens of millions of advertising fees for one set, which is a veritable major customer.
Another is Zhu Libin, director of the TV Drama Center, who has considerable voice in selecting and arranging broadcasts of a TV Drama.
Both of them were spent on Xu Qin and Lu's catering public relations departments to establish a good relationship.
I met each other, exchanged a few greetings, sat at the round table, and waiters served the dishes one after another. Zhao Laogen, a person who is familiar with both sides, would not be disappointed.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the group talked more, but the wine and food became less active.
Huang Bo drank a drink with Lu Dong and asked, "Mr. Lu, I heard from Mr. Xu two days ago that you should continue to increase your investment in advertising in one set of settings?"
Lu Dong put down his wine glass: "Director Huang, a set of media platforms with the largest audience in the country is now. It is not only the four catering brands under Lu's Catering, but also the products of my fiancée, and my hometown Lujia Village.
Director Huang Bo, who is the main agent for advertising and investment, immediately said: "Welcome, welcome, Mr. Lu, when will they come, you must notify me!"
Since he has followed Director Huang's path, Lu Dong naturally will not look for his competitors again. He immediately said: "I have left Director Huang's phone number to them. When they come to Beijing next month, they will contact Director Huang as soon as possible."
On the other hand, Zhao Laogen was also talking to Zhu Libin.
Seeing that the topic of the two came to an end, Lu Dong took the initiative to pick up the wine glass: "Director Zhu, I'll give you a glass!"
"I dare not take it, I dare not take it."
As a director who holds great power, Zhu Libin is not lacking in arrogance, but he also understands the worldly ways. He lowered his cup and touched Lu Dong, and said before drinking: "I have heard of Mr. Lu's name for a long time. When I see him today, it's extraordinary!"
Lu Dong was also very polite: "I have just come into contact with the TV circle and I have to learn more from old seniors like Director Zhu."
Both sides have had several contacts on "Rural Love" and have a basic understanding.
After drinking a glass of wine, Lu Dong turned to the topic: "Director Zhu, it's not to be concealed. The drama "Rural Love" was jointly invested by my hometown Lujia Village and Teacher Zhao."
Zhu Libin smiled and said, "I know that Lujia Village and Lujia Food Company have eaten a lot of braised products, and they are also quite famous in the capital."
"There is not only a food company in Lujia Village, but also developed folk tourism last year." Lu Dong continued: "It is currently a civilized village in Taidong Province. It has participated in the National Civilized Village and is very likely to be listed as a national civilized village."
Those who make TV shows can be said to be knowledgeable. When Zhu Libin heard Lu Dong’s words, he understood why he wanted to promote "Rural Love" in one piece. This is to use TV series to promote Lujia Village and make a name for it nationwide.
As long as the TV series responds slightly better, the reputation of Lujia Village will be spread throughout the country immediately.
Those who engage in tourism have a certain reputation and will not worry about having no tourists.
For the sake of Lujia Village, Lu Dong's posture was relatively low: "Director Zhu, please ask you to help with the TV series."
In terms of relationships, there are Zhao Laogen, capital, and large companies like Lu's Catering and Lujiacun Group with assets of one billion yuan, Zhu Libin doesn't want to offend people casually.
But some things are indeed not something that can be counted simply by saying a word.
Zhu Libin took the initiative to respond to Lu Dong with a cup and said, "Mr. Lu, you came to the capital from Quannan thousands of miles away. Speaking of which, my wife is from Taidong, and I am half a Taidong. Since you mentioned it, I must help."
He spoke very fast and did not let anyone interrupt: "I must help with this, but there are difficulties. I have watched the sample "Rural Love" and it is really good. It can reflect the current actual life in rural areas and the construction of new rural areas, and it also conforms to the spirit of the above documents..."
Lu Dong didn't rush to interrupt, and the other party obviously hadn't finished speaking yet.
"If this drama was jointly filmed and produced by CCTV Production Center and you, there is nothing to say. I can arrange the playback immediately. The problem is that this drama has no direct relationship with the station."
Zhu Libin said something a little exaggerated, but it is also the actual situation: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Xu, Teacher Zhao, let's say that, if it weren't for the filming of "Rural Love" that was really good, and it meets the spirit of the superior documents and publicity needs, the drama station would not even consider it, so I would just call you back! I wouldn't have been queuing until now!"
Lu Dong knows more about these situations.
Zhu Libin said thoroughly: "Along with this queuing issue, the station will definitely give priority to the TV series involved in the shooting and production of the station. It is impossible for outsiders to take the lead. It will not be possible to explain it to the top and bottom. So I can be clear that "Rural Love" is queuing. I cannot guarantee the specific time of the schedule, because there are policies in the station."
He looked at Zhao Laogen: "Teacher Zhao, you understand the operating mechanism of Taiwan. I have certain power, but the final approval is in the hands of the deputy director in charge. I submitted "Rural Love" once, and the last time it was the deputy director who called it back."
Zhao Laogen nodded slightly at Lu Dong and signaled that Zhu Libin was right.
Zhu Libin said very beautifully: "There are no outsiders here, so I will say it clearly. Go back and talk to the deputy director of the supervisor. I cannot give any guarantees if it is possible."
Lu Dong said: "I'm sorry, Director Zhu."
Zhu Libin smiled and said, "President Lu, you are polite."
Lu Dong then asked about the situation of the deputy director. Because Xu Qin and Zhao Laogen had done a lot of related public relations work before and were more familiar with Zhu Libin, Zhu Libin said a few simple words.
The deputy director was just transferred from the department and it was very difficult to deal with. Zhao Laogen and Xu Qin had both been rejected. If they forcefully do something, it would be very likely to be counterproductive.
While Lu Dong was having a meal and chatting, he was also thinking about it. It was not that there was no other way, but there was no news over there, and he was not sure about it at all, and he could only wait.
It doesn't seem easy to deal with here.
After a meal, the temporary agreement was agreed upon, Zhu Libin still submitted the schedule, and the advertising department also communicated partly.
What is the specific result, I have to wait.
Lu Dong was also ready for another move. If it really didn't work, it would be broadcast on Taidong TV, so he would have a greater grasp on the other side.
After dinner, I saw off the two people who had a set of things, Lu Dong, Xu Qin and Zhao Laogen, discussed it again.
