Chapter 1341 The Professor Who Steals Beauty 27
Chapter 1341 The Professor Who Steals Beauty 27
It's almost the end of the year.
The Thirteen States Joint Awards are also starting to stir.
Not only Shu Jiao, but several directors who were extremely busy on set also received invitations to participate.
Thinking about their performance this year, Yi Xin and the other directors couldn't help but smile.
Hehe ~
Who else deserves the Best Director award this year, besides her/him?
Who else?!
the other side.
Xu Ying, who had just returned home, answered a call from an unknown number. "Hello, this is Xu Ying. How can I help you?"
"Hello Ms. Xu Ying, this is a staff member from the Tongzhou Award. Your work, 'Under the Law,' has been nominated for the Best Screenplay for a TV Series, and an electronic invitation has been sent to your email address."
"We cordially invite you to attend this year's Tongzhou Award ceremony. Would you have time to attend?"
and many more!
what?
The "Shared Journey Award"?
Xu Ying stood there stunned, speechless. "Scam?"
The other side also fell silent.
This is the first time in all these years that I've been called a fraudster.
"Ms. Xu, we are not a scammer. You can check the official contact number for the Tongzhou Award."
There seemed to be a hint of amusement in the polite voice on the other end.
Xu Ying: ...
The "Shared Journey Award"?
Is she worthy?
Does she deserve it?!
"I'm free! I'm free!"
Xu Ying glanced at her email and, sure enough, received an official email notification. She quickly agreed.
"Okay, please provide your contact address. A written invitation will be sent to you within three to five days..."
Xu Ying couldn't help but scream after hanging up the phone.
God!
Earth!
Ancestor!
I've made something of myself!
I've really made something of myself!!!
Which new screenwriter is it that has won the Tongzhou Award with only one debut work?!
it's me!
"Hahaha……"
Xu Ying was laughing hysterically in the living room, "Dad, Mom, I've made it! I'm rich!"
Many screenwriters spend fifty years writing without ever stepping into the Tongzhou Award, but she, at less than 25 years old, is heading straight for the highest award in the screenwriting world!
All of this is thanks to...
"Oh, right, Teacher Shu!"
Xu Ying immediately called Shu Jiao, "Thank you, Teacher Shu, thank you, living bodhisattva! Teacher Shu, I'd be willing to be your dog for the rest of my life! Please give me whatever you want..."
She couldn't get through on the first call, and she couldn't get through on the second call, but she didn't give up and dialed again.
Xu's parents watched her gesticulate wildly for a while, then hold her phone and mumble something unintelligible, and couldn't help but exchange a glance.
This child... could he be possessed by an evil spirit?
Thinking of the classic Chinese novel "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" that they had followed, Mr. and Mrs. Xu were already racking their brains trying to figure out how to save their child.
at last!
The call went through!
"Teacher Shu!"
Xu Ying screamed.
Shu Jiao felt like her ears were almost pierced by the voice. This child... she didn't realize she had such a loud voice.
"I know, it's an invitation from the Tongzhou Award, right?"
"I received it..."
Halfway through her sentence, Xu Ying, who had failed to show off, paused for a second, then became excited again, "Yes, Teacher Shu, how did you know? Did you help me with it, Teacher!"
"Teacher! I love you!"
Shu Jiao: ...
"You think too much."
Shu Jiao's lips twitched slightly for a moment. "I also received an invitation. Your senior brothers and sisters received them too."
Xu Ying couldn't get through on the phone earlier because other students were going crazy on her.
None of them are steady or reliable.
The original owner was admitted to the Tongzhou Award at the age of 18, and she didn't go crazy like this.
Oh ~
Xu Ying calmed down a bit and figured that she was probably just a runner-up this time.
but!
The Together We Go Award!
Even if they're just there to make up the numbers, there are plenty of screenwriters willing to do it!
"Teacher, thank you."
Xu Ying said solemnly, "If you need a daughter, I can be one!"
Shu Jiao: ...
"Get lost."
Shu Jiao laughed and scolded, "Alright, let's meet at the Tongzhou Award ceremony and have a couple more days of fun. Consider it our sect's team building activity."
"Okay~"
Xu Ying readily agreed.
Before I could even catch my breath after hanging up the phone, several directors came one after another with good news.
For a moment, Shu Jiao even considered turning off the phone.
of course.
The directors also had serious business to discuss with her.
Despite their frantic efforts, Yi Xin and his team finally finished the project before January 15th. While submitting it for review, they also contacted major TV stations and film and television platforms in 13 states.
"Shu Jiao's drama?"
"Yes, yes, we want it. We're just worried about what to put on the shelves at the end of the year."
The major TV stations were also caught off guard.
Such a big surprise came out just as the year was drawing to a close!
"Two million per episode. You know we're the official company, this is already the highest price we can offer, but don't worry, it won't cost more, but we'll definitely be on par with everything else..."
Two million.
The TV station can only offer this price.
This is the absolute red line, and it cannot be crossed. All the directors and Shu Jiao are well aware of this.
Say.
They didn't expect to make money from satellite TV; they appeared on various satellite TV channels in thirteen states mainly for the sake of being legitimate.
The platform is the real money.
Not to mention the screenwriter Shu Jiao, these directors are also well-known, so the effect is more than the sum of its parts!
The platform heard the news and immediately allocated its full budget to launch the project.
The final price was 20 million per episode.
Three TV series, each with about 24 episodes, are aiming for 500 million in revenue.
Based on investment dividends and screenwriting revenue sharing, Shu Jiao directly received a nine-figure sum, making a huge profit.
Shu Jiao glanced at the numbers on the account and clicked her tongue softly.
Money comes in so fast.
Meanwhile, the Tongzhou Award judging panel.
"Huh? Shu Jiao has three TV dramas this year!"
My goodness!
Heaven!
"Quickly, quickly, change the Best Screenplay Award for TV Series to Shu Jiao."
Shu Jiao's dramas can never be inferior to those of her students.
Although we haven't seen it yet, the judging panel has a lot of trust in Shu Jiao, which is what we call "reputation".
"but……"
An elderly judge with a full head of white hair glanced at the list and hesitated for a moment. "Let's discuss it again. Should we give others a chance?"
"No need. We let our strength speak for itself."
Another judge scoffed, "Those who try to cheat by manipulating data shouldn't even think about making the cut."
"I agree. Cheating cannot be tolerated, otherwise everyone will cheat in the future, thus neglecting the production of quality content. In the end, everyone will be worse than the last."
"We can't possibly feed shit to 80 billion people in thirteen states."
Although... I've fed them quite a bit over the years, haven't some of them turned out exceptionally well?
"Yes."
After a long discussion, the judges decided to proceed with the awards ceremony as planned.
Then, they happily went to see Shu Jiao's new drama as a group.
Two days later.
"It's approved?"
Shu Jiao raised an eyebrow slightly, "So fast?"
The process usually takes anywhere from a week to a month, and with many directors and screenwriters wanting to join the fun at the end of the year, the number of works will definitely be high.
How come she got through it in just two days?
"The higher-ups also want us to release it quickly."
Yi Xin said.
Okay.
Shu Jiao asked about the date and then posted the message online.
[Shu Jiao]: A year-end treat for our fans:
On January 20th, director Han Feng will present "Ten Deadly Sins 1"; on January 21st, director Yi Xin will present "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio"; and on January 22nd, director Zhao Xingdong will present "The Legend of Concubine Li". All are welcome to watch.
Netizens who are browsing the internet out of boredom: ? ? ?
Wait a minute?
What did they see? !
