Chapter 110

Inside the small teahouse.

Jiang Shu chatted with the director and producer of the drama "Dead People Can Talk".

"Director Nie, when will the filming of this drama start?" Jiang Shu asked.

Director Nie pushed his glasses, smiled wryly and said, "Our entire crew, except for you, the leading actor, the rest of the supporting roles are all in place, but we are still communicating and coordinating the rental of filming venues, and there are also some props and photographic equipment, we also need to buy and rent." Of course, our crew is not well funded, so we try to use the form of rent. ”

In this case, when the filming of this drama officially starts, it will be almost half a month later. ”

Director Nie's three sentences are not far from the tight funds of the crew.

But it can't be ......

The online dramas of this world are like this, and they can't attract any investment at all.

In particular, "Dead People Can Talk" is still a fairly niche web drama.

"However, although the filming will start in half a month, there will be a small script workshop in a week, mainly for you to meet with the leading actors, and then sort out the script and correct the lines. Jiang Shu, as the male protagonist of this drama, you must come over. Nie Dao added.

Jiang Shu smiled and responded, "No problem." ”

Anyway, Jiang Shu happened to be very idle during this time, and there was no conflict in the schedule at all.

Then, Jiang Shu asked another question he was more concerned about, "Director Nie, how long will we be filming this drama?"

Nie Daomo rubbed his chin and muttered for a few seconds, "It's hard to say. Our plan for this drama is to shoot about 12 episodes, with one episode lasting 45 minutes. If all goes well, it will be done in about two months. But if it doesn't go well, it's possible to tinker for more than half a year. ”

Half a year?

A gleam flashed in Jiang Shu's eyes.

If this web drama really needs to be filmed in ink for more than half a year, it will be an unexpected joy for Jiang Shu.

As far as Jiang Shu is concerned.

The higher the cost of a drama.

Wait for this drama to hit the streets.

Jiang Shu will be happier.

After that, Jiang Shu asked Nie Dao a few other questions.

For example, how long will this drama be online after filming, and which video platform will it be broadcast on after it is launched.

Nie Dao answered Jiang Shu one by one.

"Ahem. Wang Youwei, who had been drinking tea and not speaking, coughed lightly, and a standardized smile appeared on his face, "Director Nie, let's talk about Jiang Shu's salary." ”

At the beginning, when formulating the casting intention, Director Nie gave Jiang Shu a salary of about 100,000 yuan per episode.

The show "Dead People Can Talk" has twelve episodes.

The salary that Jiang Shu got was about 1.2 million.

However, whether it is left or right, this is the question that Wang Youwei and Director Nie are going to discuss today.

When it came to the issue of salary, Director Nie's expression began to become unnatural.

Director Nie scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, the salary we offer to Jiang Shu here may not reach 100,000 episodes." ”

"What?!" Wang Youwei snapped and put the teacup on the table, looking a little angry.

Originally, the price of 100,000 episodes of "Dead People Can Talk" was already the lowest price among the three dramas.

But now it depends on what Director Nie means.

Jiang Shu can't even get the salary of 100,000 episodes.

The smile on Wang Youwei's face disappeared, and his gaze began to turn cold, "Director Nie, what does this mean, you didn't say that when we were in bed." ”

Jiang Shu: "???"

Something strange seems to have appeared.

Wang Youwei coughed dryly, "I mean, when I was chatting with Director Nie on my mobile phone in bed that night." ”

Director Nie wiped a handful of non-existent sweat from his forehead, and his face was full of wry smiles, "Mr. Wang, it's not that we don't want to give Jiang Shu a higher salary, but ...... We're so poor!"

"Let me give you a thorough explanation, in the drama "Dead People Can Talk", all the investments obtained are added together, and it is only five million. If we give Jiang Shu 1.2 million of them as a salary, then the remaining more than 3 million yuan is not enough for us to shoot the whole drama, and we can't save money. ”

"If we have an investment of 10 million or 20 million in our hands, let alone a salary of 1.2 million, we can afford to double it. But the problem now is that our crew doesn't have that much money at all. ”

"We're poor!"

Nie showed a poor smile to Wang Youwei.

[The smile reveals the .JPG of poverty]

Wang Youwei rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, "That'...... Director Nie, what is the highest salary you can give for an episode?"

Under Wang Youwei's death gaze, Nie Dao weakly raised five fingers, "Five...... Fifty thousand episodes. ”

Wang Youwei:(╯'□′)╯(┴-┴

It's funny!

50,000 episodes, a total of 600,000!

This...... That's a lot of less!

Although Jiang Shu is a singer-turned-actor.

But, no matter how you say it, Jiang Shu also has more than 2 million fans in his hands!

is not a transparent person in the entertainment industry.

If it weren't for professionalism, Wang Youwei would have flipped the table and left.

"Director Nie, you...... Is it serious?" Wang Youwei confirmed to Nie Dao.

Nie Dao didn't dare to look at Wang Youwei's eyes at this time, and said in a very cowardly tone, "No, really no, I don't have any more money to give you, even if you squeeze me dry, there is none." ”

"But......" Nie Dao changed his words, "I can let you get paid to take shares." ”

Remuneration is not a new concept in the entertainment industry.

In simple terms.

That is, the actor does not want to be paid or a part of the salary, but exchanges the salary as a certain proportion of shares, and becomes one of the 'investors' in film and television dramas, and after its release, he will receive dividends of profits according to the proportion of shares.

However, there are great risks in this way.

Once the film and television drama in which he is a shareholder hits the street, it is equivalent to not getting paid and acting in a drama for others.

So.

Nowadays, unless they are very confident in the script, few actors will choose the extreme way of paying for shares.

Compared with the unstable income of the salary shares, it is more fragrant for An An to get a fixed salary steadily!

Director Nie explained, "We can increase Jiang Shu's salary to 1.6 million. Among them, we can settle the salary of 600,000 yuan immediately, and the remaining 1 million salary can be shared. ”

In this way, the total investment of our drama has come to six million, and Jiang Shu's investment of one million can get a 16.7% profit share after the broadcast of this drama. In this way, Jiang Shu's salary is 400,000 yuan higher than what we set at the beginning, right...... Right. ”

In this paragraph, the more Director Nie said it, the more he had no confidence.

Because Director Nie also knows.

The drama "Dead People Can Talk" is good if it can be filmed without losing money.

If he could still make money, Director Nie would wake up laughing in his dreams.

Nie Zhi asked Wang Youwei cautiously, "Mr. Wang, my plan to buy shares with a salary should be pretty good, do you think it's okay?"

'What do you say?'

Wang Youwei handed Nie Dao a dead fish eye and let Nie Dao experience it himself.

Here, Wang Youwei just wanted to argue with Director Nie again.

Even, if necessary, help Jiang Shu push off this notice.

Because from any point of view, the poor crew of "Dead People Can Talk" doesn't look like a popular TV series that can be drummed up.

However, Wang Youwei has not yet taken action.

Jiang Shu said very abruptly, "I think Director Nie's plan is okay!"
