Chapter 677: Shooting Base
Chen Wei also suddenly had an idea.
Lu An's TV series is filmed with rural themes, so can you go to his hometown to shoot it?
As soon as this thought popped up, Chen Wei couldn't hold back any longer.
I quickly weighed the feasibility of this matter in my mind.
On the side of his hometown, the scenery is needless to say, even if it has not been developed yet, there are mountains and rivers, and it is not bad at all, and it is absolutely photogenic.
In terms of transportation, from Yunzhou Airport to the expressway, just get off the expressway in Huangxian County, whether it is to go to Huangxian County or to their Chenjia Village, it is very convenient, about an hour's drive.
In terms of accommodation, although Huangxian is a small county, there are several star-rated hotels, and even a five-star hotel, after all, although Huangxian is still relatively poor as a whole, there is no shortage of rich people in Huangxian.
There are hundreds of bosses of Kaili Stone Factory alone, and each of them has a net worth of millions and billions.
It is with the support of these rich people that the hotel and catering industry in Huangxian County is not bad.
Moreover, the county seat of Huangxian County is only about 20 miles away from Chenjia Village, running the provincial highway, less than 20 minutes by car. The crew lives in the county seat, and it is not particularly troublesome to come and go every day.
What's more, the people of a crew, who really live in the hotel, are probably only a few main personnel, and the rest of the ordinary staff can rent a few houses in their village.
In the case of extras, it is not a big problem.
Originally, it was a TV series with a rural theme, and a group of people were randomly pulled out in the village, and they just acted in their true colors.
If you can really make a TV series with them, it can be regarded as a publicity and promotion for their village and Erniu Mountain.
Of course, if this TV series can be popular, it will be even better. However, Chen Wei feels that this possibility is not very likely.
For an unfamous director, the probability of expecting him to become an instant hit is too small.
But no matter what, if you can get them on TV, there are only benefits and no harms.
The key is whether Lu An's side is willing or not.
If it really didn't work, he threw two dollars.
Anyway, a TV series can't cost a lot of money, right?
It's not a big production, and it is estimated that there will be no big stars.
Chen Wei turned several thoughts in an instant.
Lu An said: "There is still plenty of time, so I'll arrange a time in the next two days and give it a try." As for when our drama will start filming, I'm not afraid of Mr. Chen's jokes, I haven't even negotiated the investment yet, and if the funds don't get into the account, naturally there is no way to start filming. At the very least, you have to wait for the investment to be negotiated, and then you have to submit for approval, casting, and form a shooting team, and it is best to contact a production company, in short, there is still a lot of preliminary work to be done, and everything is ready before filming can begin. Even if all goes well, it's probably going to be autumn. If it doesn't go well, it's even harder. The filming location has not yet been decided, my initial plan is to find a rural area, and then I will have to run and see more, and Mr. Chen can also recommend it if he has a suitable place. ”
Chen Wei heard this, nodded, and said: "Don't say it, I really have a place to recommend, that is, my hometown, Haidong Victoria, Erniu Mountain, Huang County, if Director Lu has time, you can go to my hometown to have a look for yourself." ”
"Yes, although I haven't been to Huang County, Victoria, I've heard of it, it seems to be a mountainous area, right?" Lu An asked.
"Yes, the scenery is good, the transportation and accommodation are also very convenient, and the government is preparing to develop a scenic spot in our place. Chen Wei replied.
"That's good, I'll go over and have a look when I have time. Lu An replied.
In fact, Lu An didn't take this matter seriously in his heart.
Although he said that this TV series was being prepared by himself, it can be said that he himself has two important positions as a director and producer, and he has a lot of autonomy, but after all, there are investors involved here.
If the investor makes some unreasonable requests, such as arranging roles, revising the script, etc., then Lu An will definitely not agree.
But if the investor designates a location base, as long as it is not too outrageous, Lu An will not refuse.
After all, from the perspective of investors, people must also hope to have a return on their investment of so much money.
And this kind of rural TV series does have a certain publicity and promotion effect on the local filming base, which also has certain benefits for investors, at least it can get closer to the local government.
In addition, Lu An now has several goals, if the investor does not explicitly require a shooting base, then he will choose one of these goals as a shooting base.
If Chen Wei just arranged a few young actors for him, and wanted him to set the filming base in Chen Wei's hometown, it would be a bit whimsical.
However, Lu An did not directly refuse.
He hasn't negotiated the investment yet, and if he doesn't reach a deal with those investors in the end, then he will have to find another investor.
This time, the script is something he values very much, and he really doesn't want to give up easily.
Moreover, Chen Wei and Lian Yingying both of them went out with bodyguards, which looked like rich people, maybe he still had to ask Chen Wei in the end.
Lu An is actually not stupid, he only occasionally has the stubbornness of an artist, and he is unwilling to compromise easily.
Chen Wei himself knows that he doesn't say anything here, so he wants people to go to his hometown to shoot a TV series, which is obviously a bit unrealistic.
But Chen Wei is not in a hurry to say anything now. There was no mention of investment.
At the very least, he had to go back first to find out what kind of person this Lu An was, what his level was, and what his character was.
If he is really a third-rate director, then to be honest, it is not interesting.
The two chatted briefly a few more words, and when they saw that the time was not early, they left a phone call for each other.
Anyway, everyone lives in this hotel, and there are opportunities to meet.
After separating from Lu An, Chen Wei and the others went back to the room to take a shower, and then went to the restaurant for breakfast.
Qin Fei and Duan Qirui also came over to eat with them.
During the meal, he naturally talked about Lu An again.
Qin Fei and Duan Qirui were also quite interested in this. However, for Lu An and Lin Shuqian, neither of them had heard of this name.
Chen Wei asked Duan Qirui to help him inquire about that Lu An, and Duan Qirui immediately said that this matter was on him.
Lian Yingying had actually guessed Chen Wei's thoughts just now, so she asked him: "You don't want to invest in him, do you?"
Chen Wei didn't hide anything, and said: "Let's get to know Lu An first, and see what his level is." If it's a third-rate director with an average level, that's it. But if he really has a certain level, then it's worth it for me to invest some money in him and let him go to my hometown to shoot a TV series. ”
