"It's not impossible, it's just that many TV stations have said that they want to see the results before they consider buying or not..."

Shen Mengxi was speechless, a large-scale costume drama like "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms", if you want to shoot it well, the amount of money you have to spend is not a small amount!

In costume dramas, the makeup time is long every day, which leads to an increase in the filming time, and for each additional day, everyone's salary will be paid an extra day.

The salaries of the main creators, actors, and crew members are very high.

Venue rental fees, costume and prop rental fees, room fees, and food and beverage expenses are still trivial.

The cost of scenes, costumes, and props is higher than that of modern dramas.

There are even costumes and props that need to be customized.

"Secrets of the Three Kingdoms" is not yet an adaptation of a widely circulated masterpiece like "New Three Kingdoms", which not only has no shortage of broadcast platforms, but also has the support of the local government...

Shen Mengxi wants to do "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms", according to the lowest cost estimate, it will also cost 30 million!

Without the TV station to pay, he wouldn't dare to do it!

There's no money to do it...

Zhao Jinsong added: "However, I think that after the launch of "Red Cliff" next year, the market demand for the theme of the Three Kingdoms must be very strong, and if the project is established by then, at least it should not be a problem to pull funds!"

“... It's okay, when the time comes, arrange a trip for me to Japan, Japan loves the theme of "Three Kingdoms" very much!"

Then wait a little longer!

Putting down the financial report, Shen Mengxi turned on the computer and typed in the words "Special Warfare Pioneer": "You go and get the film and television adaptation rights of this novel." ”

“... Good!"

Zhao Jinsong didn't say a word, and immediately agreed.

He didn't have any doubts about Shen Mengxi's vision, and when he decided to join Mengxi Studio, he came for Shen Mengxi!

"After buying it, contact Mr. Wu Jian, and we will develop it together!"

“... What type of "Special Warfare Herald" is this?"

"It's a bit like "Bright Sword", you can know it after reading the novel..."

......

Beijing, Mingxi Company.

Although Shen Mengxi left, the company's name is still Mingxi, and Chen Liming will not change his name for the time being, at least until "Painted Skin" is released...

He also arrives at the company at nine o'clock in the morning.

I met with several media company bosses in Beijing last night, and I originally wanted to take Shen Mengxi with me to help him introduce him...

Shen Mengxi left Mingxi without taking a dime.

The fat man felt very embarrassed, after all, in the initial stage of Mingxi, he almost relied on Shen Mengxi to operate.

That's why he thought about pulling his brother and introducing him to a few bigwigs in the circle to work together to make money!

It's just that I didn't expect that Shen Mengxi had no interest in this thing.

The next phase of work was scheduled as usual: "... The focus of our work now is "Latent" and "The Happy Past of Lao Ma's Family", especially "Latent", Jiang Wei's script is so beautiful!"

""Latent", we invested 6 million, accounting for half of the investment, casting?"

"Isn't the actor set Sun Honglei?"

“... Sun Honglei took the initiative to invite Ying and cut his salary to star, so the supporting roles we choose don't mention the qualifications, and the acting skills must be worthy of him!"

Jiang Nan proposed: "Let Tong Yali and Zhu Yawen go to audition, right?"

“... Zhu Yawen?"

"I talked to him yesterday, and he also wanted to change agents, so I signed him..."

Chen Liming thought of Zhu Yawen's appearance, an actor with particularly obvious masculinity!

“... Yes, I recommend Zhu Yawen, but Tong Yali forget it, it's not appropriate for her to appear in a TV series as an ethnic minority..."

Jiang Nan thought for a moment and nodded: "... Then forget it, didn't Mengxi say that the script of the TV series version of "Painted Skin" is being planned, you call him and ask him to write a character suitable for Tong Yali..."

"We are not in the same relationship as before, why should I ask him to write it, and he has to write it?"

“... Then ask for it in the name of investment!"

"He has no shortage of investment, the TV series version of "Painted Skin", NetEase is responsible for all the investments..."

“... I'll go find him myself!"

Jiang Nan turned around and was about to leave, but Chen Liming stopped her: "... He's not in Beijing!"

“... So where did he go?"

"I'm going to Hong Kong!"

"Huh?"

"Find Andy Lau to discuss the matter of "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms". ”

Jiang Nan was speechless for a while...

Before Shen Mengxi left Mingxi Company, he gave Chen Liming advice: At this stage, making a movie is not as good as making a drama, and the most important thing in making a drama is to find a suitable script and a famous producer and star-level actor...

"The Happy Past of Lao Ma's Family" was invested entirely because of the recommendation of Mr. Lin Yongjian!

collaborated with Lin Yongjian in "Wang Gui and Anna", which feels very good...

......

Shen Mengxi did come to Hong Kong, and came with Ma Boyong.

Yu Weiguo, the person in charge of Andy Lau's Yingyi Entertainment called him and told him that the emperor was very interested in "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms", and they were discussing with Star TV whether they could participate in the investment...

Star TV is, of course, the platform responsible for broadcasting!

Yingyi Entertainment has a good relationship with Star TV, and the Asian New Star Guide is an activity led by Star TV and Andy Lau as the spokesperson.

Insert a sentence, Star TV is the Chinese channel of Phoenix Satellite TV...

Since there are TV stations that are willing to broadcast, it means that they have the intention to buy the broadcast rights.

Shen Mengxi immediately put down the work at hand and flew to Hong Kong with Ma Boyong.

Originally, he planned to get rid of Andy Lau and go it alone!

When "Painted Skin" is released, he must have a lot of prestige in the producer circle, and it is a trivial matter to invest tens of millions of dollars.

Moreover, although the production cost of "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms" is at least 30 million, it is actually not very high in costume dramas - there are relatively few war scenes in it, and it can be brushed aside...

The focus is on the conspiracy aspect.

But Lao Liu was obviously very concerned, not only asked Yu Guowei to inform Shen Mengxi, but also planned to entertain him in person after a while...

Shen Mengxi is not easy to refuse!

On the plane, Shen Mengxi Pegasus Boyong: "Old Ma, how is "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms" selling?"

"It's okay, the first volume has already sold more than 100,000 copies..."

"It's still too little, I heard that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" sold more than 10 million copies!"

Ma Boyong waved his hand: "It's already very good, my book is realistic after all..."

"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty is also realistic... It's still not well-known enough, when we announce the start of filming, I'll help you promote it..."

After talking for a while, Shen Mengxi asked again: "Have you been to Hong Kong before?"

He founded the country with Ma Boyong several times, and I liked him very much in my last life, the author of Xi'an...

The historical and cultural heritage is very profound!

“... Haven't been, only watched it on TV, what about you?"

"I... I haven't been there either..."

I have been there in my last life, and my impression is just like that, I have not experienced the wonderful sea breeze of Victoria Port, nor have I been able to try the Hong Kong-style Loufeng...

"Then let's do it this time, do you think it can be done?"

“... It's hard to say, it depends on how much money they are willing to pay..."
