Chapter 62: Making money is a painstaking task

There are three kinds of bad actors, one is to train it, and you can still watch it, at least people have a good attitude, and the crew likes it;

Qiao Mei belongs to the third type, her acting skills are poor, but her vision is good...

The works she starred in either had a good reputation or had the blessing of a big director.

The ability to choose dramas is very good!

Otherwise, I wouldn't take the initiative to invite Ying, and I want to star in "Rose Red Lotus"...

Her coffee position obviously exceeds that of the entire crew.

Xu Zheng, although he is a rookie director, he doesn't buy her account, in the first few days of filming, the two often made the crew tense, thanks to Shen Mengxi's mediation...

Hardwork and hard work!

To be honest, Shen Mengxi didn't really want to do this kind of thing.

They are all born again, and they still have to serve others?

It's not about serving people, it's just that Qiao Mei is not very willing to be obedient, you ask her to be more emotional, she still has that expression, and she has the words 'My understanding of the role Balabala'...

You're awesome!

Shen Mengxi simply let her play, it's really not good, do a little more non-close-up shots in the later stage...

Actually, this matter is also easy to solve.

At the beginning, Xijie Media asked Shen Mengxi for his opinion and asked him who he wanted to invite to be the director, if he said, looking for Jin Zhiyun, how could there be so many bad things!

Kim Zhiyun, a banner of Korean horror and thriller genre films, is internationally renowned, well, it should be said that it is famous in Asia, in the early years, the movie "Three Watches" found three directors who are good at horror films in South Korea, Thailand, and Hong Kong, and the representative of South Korea is Kim Zhiyun...

In the past few years, Kim Ji-yun has cooperated with top Korean actors such as Lee Byung-hun , Song Kang-ho , and Choi Min-sik.

And he is also the original director of "Rose Red Lotus"...

If he really came to direct, Qiao Mei would dare to play a big name with him?

Wait to be boycotted by the Korean film industry!

The problem is, if you find him, there will be nothing to do with Shen Mengxi!

At most, one more line of Baidu information - the screenwriter of "Rose Red Lotus"...

He also supervised the production of yarn!

If you want capital to know that you are capable, then you can't find a more capable foil to you.

So, that's all it can do!

......

After a day of shooting, Shen Mengxi and Xu Zheng drove back to the hotel together.

On the way, they talked about horror movie routines:

"Compared to male ghosts, female ghosts are more terrifying!"

Also, in daily life, compared with men, women are stereotyped as weak, docile, and lack of aggression, but once they become ghosts, the violation of expectations will have a more violent impact on our nerves! The tension and the violation of expectations, these two key points are mastered, and your film is a success!"

"Therefore, the horror genre is mostly the image of a female ghost or the image of a child, and "Curse" and "Sadako" are like this!"

"That Hollywood movie..."

"Hollywood uses a different kind of thing, they don't believe in ghosts and the like, this is related to their religious beliefs, but they will put masks on the murderer, which causes people a strong sense of oppression and tension, but in recent years, the American version of "Midnight Bell", "Curse" and "Ghost Water Monster Talk" have also sold well in the United States!"

When we talk about ghosts, we usually think that they are evil ghosts and powerful ghosts, but when we talk about ghosts in the West, they are more translated as ghosts...

Although both are supernatural civilizations, ghosts just feel kinder than ghosts!

After a pause, Shen Mengxi said, "It's not these things that I can't stand the most. ”

"What's that?"

"Dolls and clowns... When I saw these two things, I was terrified..."

"Haha, you're actually afraid of these two?"

"What's this, everyone has something that can't be accepted..."

After chatting all the way, they arrived at the hotel and then went back to their rooms.

In the past half a month of contact, Shen Mengxi felt that Xu Zheng was not bad, except for his personality being a little stubborn, he still had talent and ability.

Most importantly, very obedient!

It's a good tool guy, and I should cooperate with it in the future.

This trip to South Korea is still very valuable, "The Temptation of the Wife" sold smoothly, and formed a good relationship with Xijie Entertainment, and the Korean distribution rights of "Painted Skin" were also bought by them at a price of 2 million US dollars...

I also met a nice tool guy.

Insert a sentence, SBS bought "The Temptation of Wife", the price was not high, 16 million won for a single episode, which was converted into nearly 120,000 yuan...

According to this price, Shen Mengxi's screenwriting team didn't make much money this time...

That's not how the account is calculated, SBS bought a script of 100 episodes, once the effect is good after the broadcast, the number of episodes will definitely be added in the future, and the price will be different, in addition, Shen Mengxi himself wants to use the influence of South Korea to raise the price of "The Temptation to Go Home"...

Moreover, a single episode is 13 million won, which is a very good price in the field of Korean screenwriters!

Korean screenwriters, especially TV drama screenwriters, have a lot of power - the three major TV stations in South Korea adopt a screenwriter-centric system!

But their worth is just like that, and novice screenwriters generally only 10,000 to 100,000 yuan per episode, of course, the top ones also have 500,000 or 600,000 episodes...

Kim Young-hyun, the screenwriter of "Dae Jang Geum", got 600,000 episodes, which is already the highest screenwriting fee recorded in recent years!

can give Shen Mengxi 120,000 episodes, or because he has the basis of "Rose Red Lotus".

Therefore, making money is never easy, even for the reborn.

......

Someone knocked on the door, Shen Mengxi came to open the door, it was Chen Liming!

“... Fatty, why haven't you returned to China?"

He entered the house and sat down on the sofa: "I'll go back tomorrow!"

"Don't be happy, the mainland is our base camp!"

“... I know, but the young lady here has too long legs!"

"They all look the same!"

"You don't care if she has plastic surgery or not, just look good!"

Shen Mengxi complained: "Your heart is really big..."

After thinking about it, "That's not right, what about Sister Nan? You put aside all the public grain, Sister Nan can't scold you to death?"

Chen Liming sighed: "She's very busy now, originally to find an acting training teacher for Zhang Hanyun... Teacher Feng Yuanzheng, you know, right?"

"You know, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Feng studied the Grotowski school of acting, which is not the same as Nan Nan's acting... Originally, Zhang Hanyun was asked to learn, but she did, and she was busy preparing for classes and writing things every day, so she didn't have time to take care of me!"

“...”

Chen Liming changed the subject: "By the way, how did I hear that you asked Rong Xingda's Yang Mi to audition for the role of demon hunter?"

"Can't you?"

"It's not impossible, aren't we at odds with Rongxingda?"

Shen Mengxi: "Who told you that you are incompatible? They are all in Beijing, they all eat the bowl of rice in the entertainment industry, and they don't see each other when they look down, do you think that novels are not mutually beneficial?"

Chen Liming is a little embarrassed...

“... And Yang Mi is very good, her appearance is very in line with the taste of the Japanese Ben, "The Condor Heroes" was exported to the Japanese Ben, the cover of the pictorial is that she is riding a red horse, and "Painted Skin" has to be released by the Japanese Ben..."

Shen Mengxi poured him a glass of ice water, and then asked, "Why do you have such an expression?"

"No... Nothing..."

"By the way, what did you talk to Reporter Wei about yesterday?"
