Chapter 17: Who's going to play the Prince of Pleasure?
After determining the production budget of "Balala Little Demon Fairy", the next thing to do is to ask the parent company for money.
Comrade Meng was very happy, saying that he was afraid that he would not have enough for 20 million to promote and distribute the film, so he waved his hand and gave Meng Lang an extra 10 million.
With a huge sum of "30 million" in hand, Meng Lang has a lot of confidence!
You have money!
A big production of 30 million!
Just ask you if you are not impressed?
When Pengda Film and Television broke the news of the establishment of "Balala Little Demon Fairy", many performing arts companies sent congratulations one after another, and asked the leading actors of this drama very vaguely if they could consider their company's xxx.
There are so many TV series produced in the film and television industry in a year, and there are very few production costs of more than 10 million, and projects like "Balala Little Demon Fairy" are undoubtedly a high-quality resource.
After all, Pengda Film and Television has no signed artists, and the needs of actors can only be selected from the outside world.
After the news of the casting of the leading and supporting roles was released, it instantly caused quite a stir.
Need a child actor?
Two heroines?
The company that made "The Boy of Fire"?
Teenagers to large-scale fantasy special effects series?
These factors add up, and insiders have expressed curiosity.
This is to replicate the successful model of "Fire Boy King"? except that the subject matter is different from the leading actor, it is almost the same template!
"This kind of drama can make me eat live broadcast!"
A well-known film director who was slapped in the face by the ratings miracle of "Fire Boy King" spoke out again.
He said that the audience may try to eat because of a momentary curiosity, but after eating it once, they will never eat it a second time.
Pengda Film and Television wants to replicate the miracle of "Fire Boy King", it is completely dreaming!
If the word-of-mouth explosion of "Fire Boy King" will be forgotten, there is a similar work with a good reputation as the foundation, and the audience will more or less look forward to the new work.
But the reputation of "Firepower Boy King" ......
On the Internet's largest film and television miscellaneous review website "Sprout", the number of ratings for "Fire Boy King" exceeded 1 million, with an average score of 4.1!
Well...... 10 out of 10!
The director admits that he has lost his eyes, but he still insists on the view that "Firepower Boy" is a bad movie. The rating on the bud also made him more convinced of his own judgment.
Millions of people scored, and only got 4.1 points out of 10!
He didn't believe it, the first bad movie was successful because everyone had a curiosity and wanted to see what "yo-yo" was.
But after being poisoned once, will the audience be fooled a second time?
In the face of an interview with reporters, the director said emotionally that the audience's eyes are bright and can distinguish what is a good work and what is a bad movie.
"Balala Little Demon Fairy" looks like a skin-changing version of "Fire Boy King"! If this can become popular, then he will retire directly. Because the audience voted with their feet to prove one point, that is, there is no room for a director like him to make masterpieces with heart. If so, what can he do but retire?
As soon as the interview report came out, it instantly detonated the whole network.
I have to say that this director surnamed Feng is really Meng Lang's "nobleman"! If Meng Lang really didn't know this person, he would have to wonder if this director surnamed Feng was a supernumerary member of Pengda Film and Television.
At the beginning, "Fire Boy King" was about to be broadcast, but it lacked exposure because it was not publicized.
As a result, the director directly pointed out that Sang scolded Huai for catching the "Fire Boy King" that had not yet been broadcast, and bluntly said that this is "pig food"!
The result of the rhythm flying is that with his high exposure, he instantly made "Fire Boy King" gain tens of millions of publicity popularity!
It's the same this time, "Balala Little Demon Fairy" hasn't started filming yet, just because of the news of casting, this "just bad money" volunteer propagandist jumped out and gave them a wave of free advertising.
After this wave of advertising, at least tens of millions of people across the country know about "Balala Little Demon Fairy"!
How much hatred?
You're a director of a Chinese New Year movie, as for catching us and biting us?
Besides, such a scolding is equivalent to not having to do anything for Pengda Film and Television, and picking up a wave of popularity in vain.
Meng Lang wanted to come to the door to send the director a pennant of "helping others".
This is a good man!
It's just that the mouth is a little smelly.
But it doesn't matter, this is simply giving them free publicity, and it doesn't matter if you have a bad mouth or not.
As for the "bad movie theory", this Meng Lang also admits it, bad movies are bad movies, anyway, it's not for you to see.
Sprout Score?
What's that?
Can ratings be eaten as food, or can they be exchanged for banknote ratings?
When it was said that the score of the firepower boy king was only 4.1, have you ever thought about a problem!
Among these millions of rated users, how many of them are the target audience of the Fire Boy King?
A group of people who have graduated from elementary school for at least 10 years give a score to the firepower boy king? Isn't this a joke? Is this kind of rating meaningful?
Meng Lang has learned to ignore the director's bad mouth.
He wouldn't jump out to clarify anything, in fact, there was nothing to clarify. Although the director's words are mixed with too many personal emotions, from the perspective of an adult, there is nothing wrong with the analysis.
"Balala Little Demon Fairy" is the skin-changing "Fire Boy King", which is rough in production.
But you don't buy toys, what about NM here?
......
The popularity brought by a certain director made "Balala Little Demon Fairy" popular before it was broadcast!
At least that's the case on Weibo.
From the perspective of Pengda Film and Television, this is a good thing. To put it bluntly, the entertainment industry is a vanity fair, and it is better to have attention than not to pay attention.
The casting process went very well.
Although being scolded is called a bad movie, after all, there is a signboard of "30 million" production, and the salary is also set well, so I don't have to worry about no one acting.
starring sisters, the roles of Ling Meiqi and Ling Meixue were won by two child stars, Meng Lang has seen the makeup photos of the two, which is very suitable for the role, and he also has acting skills.
It's just that the salary is a bit high!
In addition to the two protagonists of Meiqi Miyuki, the actors of Demon Fairy Xiaolan and Demon Fairy Satsuki were also finalized.
Yan Lili's role, Meng Lang appointed a girl named "Lin Xue" to play it.
Lin Xue also made her debut as a child star, but she went back to school after starring in two TV series, and Meng Lang tried hard to convince Lin Xue's parents to make her comeback after seeing the real image.
The role of the Demon Fairy Queen was handed over to a group of group actors from Hengdian along with a number of supporting roles.
After these roles are completed, only the supporting role of "Prince of Pleasure" is left undecided.
Regarding the role of the Prince of Pleasure, because most of the scenes on the camera are shown in masks, and there are not many scenes, few male actors are interested.
Leave it to the group performance, and Meng Lang is not at ease.
After all, it's a pretty important role, and there are "stalks" on it! I'm afraid it doesn't have the effect of the original for the group performance......
Just when Meng Lang was hesitating, Wang Kui suddenly proposed: "Why don't you make a cameo appearance?"
"I'm going to play the prince of pleasure?" Meng Lang was stunned.
Seems to work!
