"Of course, I have some plans and ideas for certain things, but it is not time to present this idea because I always feel that there is still something missing. Chen Yi took a sip of wine and said slowly: "But I always feel that I seem to have some bottlenecks, and I can't find the key to open this bottleneck in my original state."

So, I'm just going to go out for a walk this time, and I might find the key to open this bottleneck. ”

"I've heard it. Ren Jin nodded and said, "You want to start all over again..."

"Shhhhhh.....hhhh ”

Ren Jin was silent, because Chen Yi was a person, he didn't understand, because he was not qualified to say that he understood.

It is estimated that no one can really understand this well-known weirdo in the film and television industry.

Since the last Oscar defeat, he has disappeared directly from everyone's sight, and since then, with the passage of time, no one in the circle has mentioned the name Chen Yi.

No one knows what he wants to do, but if this person has been forgotten by everyone, it is true that this person has been forgotten by everyone.

The answer is also very simple, not everyone will be forgotten with the passage of time, because there are things in some people that countless people themselves do not have.

And Chen Yin and Chen Yi know each other, so the ultimate goal of this so-called referral seat has actually been achieved.

During the banquet, everyone talked very much, and the atmosphere was quite good.

In between, Ren Jin also took the initiative to talk about casting at the beginning.

Regarding casting, Ren Jin's first proposal was to give a series of lists, which, according to Ren Jin, are all popular actors who are well-known in the circle and have been quite popular recently.

It's just that the only common problem is that the salaries are very expensive, and the most expensive one is hundreds of millions of dollars, even if it is low, it is not less than 10 million dollars, and the average is 50 million.

The entire list of candidates, roughly estimated, if all of them are invited, the total number will not be less than 10 billion.

Of course, it is definitely impossible to ask for all, not to mention the problem of funding, first of all, there are so many big names, such a TV series is not needed, this is just a list of suitable candidates for reference, and one or two of them will be selected to play important roles.

Chen Yin looked at it beside him, because although he knew that the value and salary of well-known actors were very high, reaching a certain level, he really never thought that he could be so outrageously high.

What kind of concept is this?1 billion? That's already half of the total market capitalization of CU.... Of course, Chen Yin has not passed, and the CU before the restructuring and restart, the current CU is of course no longer a mere billion-dollar measurable enterprise.

But the numbers are still outrageous.

It's just that Chen Yin didn't put forward any opinions, but watched them discuss in silence.

After all, everyone present, he is the only one who is a complete outsider in the film and television industry, basically all of them are old fritters in film and television, he is a layman, so it is naturally not easy to interject, lest he make any jokes when he gets it, it will not look good, he can still distinguish the occasion and what to say and what not to say.

But according to his own ideas, it is still too expensive.

Just look at Chen Yi's reaction.

Now, Chen Yi's brows furrowed directly: "In the past few years since I was away, has the actor's salary risen to this rate?"

"Yes. Ren Jin nodded and said: "Recently, the dividends of the film and television industry have been everywhere, and it has entered a new round of rapid development, rising very fast, compared with a few years ago, it has doubled." ”

"Haven't you, the profiteers of film and television companies, ever hindered or set up obstacles?" Chen Yi frowned and said, "Not all kinds of people deserve this kind of reward, right?"

However, Ren Jin smiled bitterly: "It's useless, it's now the world of fans, as long as the traffic is big enough, then no matter how much they do, they can't have no drama to play." ”

"What do you think?" Ren Jin could only ask.

"This list can be thrown away. Chen Yi said decisively.

"Throw it away?" Ren Jin was stunned.

"We don't use these people. Chen Yi said directly: "I have some newcomer resources here, we can directly support it, if the audition is okay, if you believe me, we can directly save a lot of money." ”

"But... If there is no traffic artist as support, where does our early popularity come from?" Ren Jin said the biggest concern.

It is also the main reason why you want to invite traffic stars.

Don't tell him that the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and don't say anything that as long as it's a good film, you're not afraid of not being popular or anything.

The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, which does not exist in the film and television industry, at least the current era no longer exists, because a good film does not mean that it can make money, and it does not mean that it can immediately leap to the point of a good word-of-mouth film at the beginning.

In fact, there are a lot of good films in film and television, don't look at the current reputation and popularity, it seems to be very high.

But if you flip through them and look at the box office or the ratings of the places where they were first released, you will see a very dismal number, a figure that has lost all your money, or a very ugly number.

For example, Chen Yin's well-known "Journey to the West" series has reached an extreme at the box office, although the reputation behind it is very good, and it has reached the point of becoming a household name, but back then, there was no traffic and the addition of well-known movie stars, and several leading actors were still just starting, plus the plot and painting style far ahead of the times.

Almost logically, the crew of "Journey to the West" disbanded after filming, and several companies of the producer also went bankrupt.

What's more, Chen Yi's several films, according to Chen Yi's own words, he made literary films, which were originally popular.

To tell the truth, Chen Yi's Oscar-nominated film invested 1 billion yuan, and the final box office ..... Only 157 million!

This box office doesn't seem to be very low, but once you think of investment, and this is still the box office with the blessing of the Oscar nomination halo, the producer has a blood loss of 850 million!

Although making this kind of film is no longer for the box office and profit, it is still a very real problem when you think about it this way.

That is, the film is good and applauded, but it is not necessarily popular.

But isn't what TV series like "Above Ling Tian" wants to make a profit? And now all the hopes of leaping into film and television are above this film, if this film fails, the consequences will be unimaginable, this is really not something that word-of-mouth can save back.....

Therefore, Chen Yi's proposal made Ren Jin think deeply and think about the consequences.
