Hearing Cheng Lu's answer, Fan Quan's eyes lit up, and he became more certain of his guess.
He couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, is your father Cheng Xingguo?"
When Cheng Lu heard the three words "Cheng Xingguo", he guessed something.
She nodded and admitted, "It's my father."
When Fan Quan heard Cheng Lu admit it, he smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close.
He looked at Cheng Lu and said, "Seven years ago, when I first started working, I followed my boss to attend your tenth birthday party and met your family. You were only ten years old at the time, and you looked so young. In the blink of an eye, you have grown up to this age, and you are becoming more and more beautiful."
Cheng Lu had no recollection, but from what Fan Quan said so clearly, he should have attended his birthday party.
Fan Quan couldn't help but ask: "Cheng—"
Seeing that Fan Quan was about to talk about his father's position, Cheng Lu quickly interrupted and said, "Don't mention my father today. Let's talk about your business."
When Fan Quan saw Cheng Lu's cold expression, he realized that he was too excited.
He quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's talk business."
Fan Quan turned to look at Xu Xiuwen and Hang Fei, and said straight to the point: "The quality of your drama is pretty good. We have discussed it internally and the price can be between 150,000 and 350,000 after tax. I wanted to lower the price, but since we all know each other, then 350,000 will do. Do you have any other requirements?"
150,000 and 350,000 may seem like a difference of only 200,000, but in fact the difference is huge.
You should know that this price is not the price of the entire TV series, but the price of one episode.
The finished film produced by Hang Fei has a total of 35 episodes, with each episode costing 350,000 after tax, for a total of 12.25 million.
If it's 150,000 per episode, that's 5.25 million.
The difference is almost double.
Xu Xiuwen and Hang Fei looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
This price was completely beyond their expectations.
After all, Hang Fei is in this circle. Although he has just graduated, he has his own ways to get information.
Large film and television companies like those don't have to worry about where to broadcast their TV dramas, and they can bargain with the people at the TV stations, so they can ask for a higher price.
In their case, it would be considered good if they could sell 200,000 for one episode.
The current price of 350,000 is far beyond expectations.
Hang Fei was very satisfied.
He wished he could agree on behalf of Xu Xiuwen.
But that was impossible, so he could only look at Xu Xiuwen, hoping that he would agree immediately.
Xu Xiuwen was not stupid. He had learned about it before coming here. At this time, 350,000 was almost the highest price a TV station could offer.
So he agreed without hesitation.
After that, the two sides discussed some details and agreed on a time to sign the contract. Then Fan Quan said goodbye to the three people and left the cafe.
Until Fan Quan left, Hang Fei still felt like he was dreaming.
The whole process went incredibly smoothly.
Xu Xiuwen was relatively calm. He also realized that Fan Quan was so easy to talk to that he didn't even try to bargain and directly offered a price of 350,000.
The good quality of the TV series is the foundation, but more important is the role played by Cheng Lu in the middle.
Thinking of what Fan Quan said to Cheng Lu when he left just now, "Cheng Lu, if I have the chance, I will definitely go to meet your father in person..."
Cheng Lu's father is Cheng Xingguo.
Xu Xiuwen knew before that he was an official, but he didn't know what kind of official he was. Now it seems that he should hold a relatively important position.
He was actually very curious, but he didn't ask Cheng Lu right away.
The matter was over and the three of them were ready to go back to school.
They took a taxi back home. While in the car, Xu Xiuwen stared at Cheng Lu from time to time, and then smiled foolishly.
When they arrived at the destination, Hang Fei got off the car first, and then the taxi drove to the north gate of Jiaotong University.
As soon as he got out of the car, Cheng Lu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Who are you looking at with lustful eyes?"
Xu Xiuwen thought to himself, when did I become lustful
But he said, "Is it not okay for me to look at my own girlfriend?"
His voice was so loud that he was almost shouting in public.
Cheng Lu was somewhat helpless and whispered, "Okay, okay, please keep your voice down. Are you afraid that others can't hear you?"
Xu Xiuwen stared at her and really wanted to hug her and kiss her.
Cheng Lu saw through it and warned, "This is the school gate, there are people everywhere, don't be stupid."
Xu Xiuwen chuckled.
The two walked side by side towards the Jiaotong University campus.
As Xu Xiuwen walked away, he said, "Cheng Lu, I made the right decision to bring you along today. If it weren't for you, I think Team Leader Fan would have lowered the price to 150,000."
Cheng Lu didn't say anything.
Xu Xiuwen asked again: "How high of an official is your father? Even the people at Su Provincial TV Station give your father such respect."
Cheng Lu suddenly stopped, looked over, and asked, "If my father wasn't an official, would you still like me?"
Xu Xiuwen immediately said, "Of course I will. Whether I like you or not has nothing to do with your father. Even if your father is a garbage collector, I will still like you."
Cheng Lu was very satisfied after hearing this and said with a smile: "You passed."
After a pause, she continued, "Don't ask about my father. I will tell you when the time is right."
Xu Xiuwen nodded to indicate that he understood.
Chapter 219 Roadside Kiss
The two continued to walk forward, and Cheng Lu suddenly laughed.
She turned to look at Xu Xiuwen, "If my dad knew you said he was a rag picker, what do you think he would think?"
Xu Xiuwen was stunned.
"I was just speaking metaphorically, this doesn't count, right?"
"I don't care, you just said it anyway."
Xu Xiuwen rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "Then go ahead and tell her. If your father hates me and doesn't let you marry me, who will I be crying for?"
After hearing this, Cheng Lu became angry and his face turned cold.
She asked coldly: "You are so happy that I won't marry you. Tell me, who do you want to marry?"
Cheng Lu changed his face immediately.
Xu Xiuwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly explained: "I want to marry you, and I only want to marry you. I won't marry anyone else. I'm happy not because I made money."
Cheng Lu snorted lightly, as a gesture of letting him go.
The two continued to walk forward, and Xu Xiuwen suddenly laughed foolishly twice.
Without waiting for Cheng Lu to ask, Xu Xiuwen took the initiative to say, "Ten million. Once the contract is signed, I will be a multi-millionaire."
Although Cheng Lu was also very happy, he still rolled his eyes at Xu Xiuwen and said, "Look at what you have accomplished."
Xu Xiuwen retorted: "I haven't achieved anything yet? This is only one-tenth of a small goal, it's really not a small amount."
Cheng Lu thought about it and nodded, "That's right, it's indeed a lot."
She looked at Xu Xiuwen with admiration in her eyes, "I have a good eye, and the pig I chose has some ability."
Xu Xiuwen said proudly, "Of course not! Even if you search all over Jiaotong University, you won't find a student more awesome than me. Ten million, they probably won't be able to earn that much money in their entire lives."
Cheng Lu's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Put your face closer!"
"What's wrong?" Xu Xiuwen was a little surprised.
"Who told you to swear? Let me hit you."
Xu Xiuwen is not stupid. He laughed and said, "I'm not that stupid. If you want to hit me, catch me first."
After saying that, he spread his long legs and ran away.
Seeing this, Cheng Lu chased after him, shouting, "Don't run!"
In response to her, Xu Xiuwen laughed heartily.
The two played around for a while.
Xu Xiuwen stopped on his own initiative and waited for Cheng Lu to catch up with him.
After Cheng Lu caught up with him, he didn't mention hitting him, but just took his arm.
The two of them walked side by side on the campus of Jiaotong University, panting, with happy smiles on their faces.
Cheng Lu asked, "Tomorrow is exam week, are you sure?"
Xu Xiuwen looked up and said, "With your help, this exam will be a piece of cake."
