Chapter 3 Shen Ming was banned by the industry!!“What if I exchange my investment for prime-time broadcasting?” Instead of being dissuaded, Shen Ming put forward another condition. Chu Guoming looked at him in surprise. Shen Ming did not pretend to hide anything and directly said: "I have contacted many TV stations. Those that broadcast TV dramas think the subject matter is childish, and those that broadcast cartoons say the content is old-fashioned. You are my last chance. I just want my work to be seen by the audience. I always believe that the audience's likes and dislikes are the yardstick for testing the quality of a work." As he spoke, Shen Ming's expression showed a determination to go all out. All he and Star TV lacked was an opportunity. He believed that the debut of the first generation was this opportunity! Chu Guoming didn't know that Shen Ming's graduation project was stolen by Lin Yuyan. The school kept this a secret, but he keenly heard a meaning from Shen Ming's words - Shen Ming was banned from this circle and no one would take over his show.
But that doesn't make sense. The last time he met Shen Ming, almost all TV stations and media companies were extending olive branches to him. How could such a talented player end up like this? Did I offend someone? Chu Guoming thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and his brows were deeply furrowed. Finally, he pulled out a card from his wallet and said, "The money that Star TV has now can only cover the salaries of its employees, and it must not be touched. But I have saved some money for my retirement, about half a million, so consider it my investment in you. As for the prime-time broadcast, there is no problem. Just send me the trailer when you go back, and I will promote it for you first." Shen Ming looked at the thin card on the table and felt many emotions in his heart. Some people steal his hard work, while others choose to help him without any worries. The difference in human character is always unpredictable. Shen Ming did not hesitate, but solemnly promised: "Chu Tai, I will never let you regret helping me." Chu Guoming smiled kindly, "According to your plan, I can only shoot two or three episodes with my 500,000 yuan at most. I can see that you are very confident that you can attract more investment after the show is broadcast. I just believe in my vision. Okay, you shoot one episode first and we will test the waters. If it works, you will be busy in the future." Shen Ming was personally sent to the door by Chu Guoming. Before leaving, he bowed respectfully to Chu Guoming. Chu Guoming placed the rest of his life's safety on Shen Ming, betting on his success. He must not betray this trust. With the funding temporarily relieved, Shen Ming went to his next destination. There is an industrial park near the old town of Binhai City, which is mostly a prop factory that supplies props to film crews. Shen Ming found the factory workshop with ease and saw Xiao Hai smoking at the door. Xiao Hai is Shen Ming's high school classmate. He is not interested in studying and is devoted to business. He inherited his family's prop factory very early. Seeing Shen Ming coming, Xiao Hai stamped out his cigarette and waved at him: "I've read the drawings you sent me. There's no problem with the production, but the cost is a bit high. Are you sure you want this amount?" Xiao Hai said this and made a four gesture.
Shen Ming guessed a number, "Forty thousand?" "It's 140,000!! It's several times higher than your last price. Are you sure you want it?" Xiao Hai shouted with wide eyes, and then asked carefully, "Did you really break up with Lin Yuyan?" Before coming, Shen Ming had roughly told Xiao Hai about the theft of the graduation project, but Xiao Hai didn't dare to believe it. That's Lin Yuyan!! She has been the aloof school beauty since she entered high school, extremely proud and aloof. I heard that she was a popular figure in college and had many admirers, but she was only close to Shen Ming. She has no reason to harm Shen Ming like this. Shen Ming just lowered his head and fiddled with his phone. "Let's not talk about her. I've transferred the money to your card. The props must be made well, especially those leather cases. They are crucial." When it comes to business issues, Xiao Hai patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry about my work. Except for the parts you mentioned that need to be customized, the rest are in production." Thinking of the drawings sent by Shen Ming, Xiao Hai felt a little excited. No one knew how excited he was when he saw those handsome designs. Now he just wanted to see the finished products as soon as possible to relieve his homesickness. For Shen Ming, the normal production of props is the only good news recently. The tension in his head relaxed temporarily, but unexpectedly the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated nervously. A little thump! Shen Ming's heart was in his throat and he immediately answered the call. Jin Cheng's anxious, panting voice came from the other end of the phone. He said, "Shen Ming, our venue has been rented out to someone else in advance, and the cinema requires us to move the equipment immediately." At this point, Shen Ming's anxiety came true, but he immediately calmed down and asked, "I remember there was still half a month left on the contract. Why did the studio suddenly ask us to move? Are you at the studio? Do you know who rented our space?" There was silence for a moment, and then the sound of teeth grinding was heard. "It's Chen Lang!!" Jin Cheng stood where he was, staring at Chen Lang not far away with his eyes bloodshot due to rising anger. Chen Lang is just an insignificant little person, and he doesn't have the face to ask the cinema to cancel the contract. But if he is representing Blue Ocean TV, it would be different. Lin Yuyan is going to completely cut off all their paths!! Women have the most vicious hearts!! When Shen Ming heard that it was Chen Lang, he quickly figured out who was behind this. His brain was working rapidly, and his eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Hai beside him looking concerned about his bad complexion. "Xiao Hai, I came here just now and seemed to see that there are still empty factory buildings here, right?" Shen Ming asked in a low voice. Xiao Hai didn't understand and just nodded blankly. Shen Ming asked again: "Can you rent it to me? I will pay you the normal rent." Xiao Hai continued to nod blankly. The factory building was just a spare warehouse and was not used much, but he couldn't figure out what Shen Ming rented it for. Shen Ming did not explain, but just told Jin Cheng:
"I'll send you an address, and you can find someone to move the equipment here." (End of this chapter)
