Chapter 793: "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" and "Addictive" (4100+ chapters, please subscribe~)
The next day, Wu Jianye received a call from Wen Miaoling, and she agreed to go to Yanjing for development, but because there were still some things to finish on the Huhai side, she had to go over later.
"Yes, you can clean up here first, and when it's over, you can come to Yanjing!" Wu Jianye had no opinion on this, after all, it was not easy to go through the resignation procedures at this time.
Wu Jianye did not stay in Huhai for a long time, and in the afternoon, he flew back to Yanjing with everyone.
After arriving in Yanjing, Wu Jianye rested at home for a day and then went back to work.
Li Baotian, Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, Deng Jie, Zhang Zien, and Han Gang came to Tangting Culture.
At this time, they were in the conference room of the court culture.
Zhang Guoli, Deng Jie and Wang Gang are the contracted actors of Tangting Culture, Zhang Zien and Han Gang are the contracted directors of Tangting Culture, only Li Baotian has nothing to do with Tangting Culture, but he has also talked with Wu Jianye before and will appear in the TV series of Tangting Culture.
This time, Wu Jianye called these six people to the court culture, naturally for the classic "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo"!
In the previous life, everyone only knew that the actors in front of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" were Li Baotian and others, but they didn't know that the director of this TV series was co-directed by Zhang Zien and Han Gang.
Zhang Zien was originally the director of the West Film Studio, but with the departure of Wu Tianming, the West Film Studio is not as good as before, so Wu Jianye asked Li Xiaowan to sign Zhang Zien to Tangting Culture.
Zhang Zien not only directed "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", but also the later classic "The Wrong Sedan to Marry the Right Lang", and Zhao Wei's version of "Jinghua Yanyun" was also directed by him.
As for Han Gang, although his fame is not as big as Zhang Zien, he has also directed a lot of TV series.
Previously, he had just finished working with Li Baotian on the film "Old Man Ge", which had been shortlisted for the best film at the first Spring City Film Festival created this year.
"Han Gang, Baotian, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet, your first cooperation was shortlisted for the Spring City Film Festival!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Han Gang and Li Baotian smiled, and Han Gang smiled: "Director Wu said this to others, we listened to it, and if you say this, you will be cold to us!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "How can it be you who are cold, I am really congratulating you!"
Wang Gang is not an unknown person at this time, he has hosted the 1986, 1987, and 1988 CCTV Spring Festival Gala three times, and last year's anchor's "Harbin at Night" was selected by the Huaxia Radio and Television Society as "the favorite performance artist of the national audience".
Now Wang Gang is in love with his second wife Cheng Fangyuan.
It's the Narikata Garden where the song is sung.
"Everyone has already read the script of the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", and this time it will trouble everyone!" Wu Jianye said to everyone with a smile.
Before Wu Jianye left Yanjing, he had asked Li Na to send the script of the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" to everyone, and this time they were called to practice for them!
In another time and space, the filming locations of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" include the studio of Beijing Film Studio, the 'Coupling Garden' of Xiaoqiao New Lane in the northeast of Gusu, the Forbidden City, the Ming and Qing Dynasty streets in Yanjing, and the summer resort in Rehe.
However, there are many fewer places to go this time, and the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces on the Hengdian side have already been built, and most of the scenes will be completed there.
By the way, if you have a friend, you can go to the original version of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" to take a look, there are a lot of surprises hidden in it!
"Director Wu, the company has supported us so much this time, we will definitely not let the company down!" Zhang Zien said with a smile.
The production cost of the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" this time is as high as 8 million, which is already a very high production cost in China.
As prices skyrocket, the cost of filming TV dramas is also increasing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Of course I believe in everyone, I called everyone over this time, just to hope that you can work together to prepare for this TV series, and when you go to Hengdian Film and Television City to shoot next month, the company will practice it for you!"
Although the script has been given to everyone, Zhang Zien must still have a time for preparation, including forming his own behind-the-scenes team, as well as designing costumes, shooting plans and a series of things to do.
Fortunately, Zhang Zien and Han Gang's shooting team are all familiar to them, and the costume design is responsible for the aunt's props, there are not too many problems, and a month of preparation time is enough!
At this time, Li Xiaowan also walked in!
Now Li Xiaowan is the head of the Tangting Culture and Television Department, and she is also the chief producer of this TV series.
At this time, Li Xiaowan is no longer a lonely and unknown person, because Tangting Culture continues to output excellent TV series, which has led to many provincial and municipal TV stations asking about cooperation with Tangting Culture.
And almost all of this is the responsibility of Li Xiaowan.
"Director Wu, Director Zhao, they have also arrived!"
When Zhang Zien and the others heard that Wu Jianye had a guest here, he naturally proposed to leave.
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Okay, you guys go and prepare, if you have any questions, you can contact Mr. Li directly!"
Li Xiaowan smiled and shook hands with Zhang Zien and said: "Director Zhang, we will cooperate happily in the future, as for me, I will be responsible for the logistics of the crew, and the shooting problem will still trouble you!"
Zhang Zien smiled: "This condition is envious of the directors outside!"
When other companies or TV stations are producing TV dramas, producers always like to put forward various opinions, and this kind of thing is complained about by many people, but there are only a handful of companies like Tangting Culture that give directors full rights.
Of course, if you are a director like Wang Fulin, there must be no problem!
At this time, Li Na also took Zhao Baogang, Wang Zhiwen, Jiang Shan, and Liu Bei into the conference room of Tangting Culture.
Wang Zhiwen and Zhang Guoli said hello at the door of the conference room, and then left with Zhang Zien and the others.
"Mr. Wu, I have all the people, the actress chose Jiang Shan, what do you think?" After Zhao Baogang came in, he and Wu Jianye had been seeing each other for more than ten years, so naturally he would not be too polite.
Wang Zhiwen and Jiang Shan are also actors who have worked with Wu Jianye, so they should be more casual than Zhang Zien just now.
Only Liu Bei met Wu Jianye for the first time, and she seemed a little nervous.
"By the way, this is Liu Bei, the second female in "Addicted"!" Zhao Baogang introduced Liu Bei to Wu Jianye again.
At this time, Liu Bei was just 25 years old, which was the best age for a woman.
"Director Wu!" Liu Bei said a little nervously.
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not a flood beast, I heard Feng Pants and them say that you are a heroine among women!"
Liu Bei, Feng Pants, Wang Shuo and others are all good friends, she can be regarded as born in an acting family, her father is the director of Yanjing TV, and her mother is a drama actor.
Liu Bei herself graduated from the Yanjing Opera School and studied Peking Opera, first learning the Mei School with Huang Shixiang, a teacher of the Fu Liancheng "Shi" character, and then learning the Cheng School from Li Wenmin, a senior apprentice of the Cheng School artist Mr. Zhao Rongchen, Tsing Yi.
In 1985, Liu Bei graduated from the Yenching Vocational College of Chinese Opera Arts, majoring in Peking Opera, and was assigned to the Yenching Peking Opera Youth Troupe as an actor. In 1986, he resigned to become an "individual actor".
Individual actor is a special title for the actor group in this era, which is equivalent to an actor who has no agency in later generations and runs his own gang.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Bei's degree of freedom is even greater, and coupled with her background, she has become good friends with Feng Pants, Wang Shuo, Zheng Xiaolong and others.
As for saying that Liu Bei is a heroine among women, it is because Liu Bei's alcohol consumption is very large, and ordinary men are not opponents at all, Feng Pants once bluntly said that he is not Liu Bei's opponent in terms of drinking.
Liu Bei smiled shyly and said, "It's all Feng pants and they are joking!"
Then Wu Jianye said hello to Jiang Shan and Wang Zhiwen.
Called them over this time, the TV series "Addiction" is also about to start filming, and Wu Jianye is cheering them up.
The TV series "Addiction" has only eight episodes, and the investment in each episode is only 100,000, which is much cheaper than "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo".
However, in terms of fame, it is not inferior to "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo"!
"How's the preparation of the TV series?" Wu Jianye asked Zhao Baogang.
Zhao Baogang said with a smile: "Filming will officially start next week, do you want to come and have a look?"
Wu Jianye said ambiguously: "Let's talk about it then!"
It's not that Wu Jianye doesn't want to go, now Wu Jianye is working hard to conceive his new movie script, and he doesn't have much free time because he has to check all kinds of information.
Zhao Baogang said heartlessly: "Nacheng, I'll call you again when the time comes!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "Don't worry, I know the strength of all of you, I believe you in this TV series!"
Due to the support of Wu Jianye, Zhao Baogang in this time and space is much more famous than Zhao Baogang in another time and space at the same time, and now the eight-episode "Addiction" is not a difficult thing for Zhao Baogang at all.
Zhao Baogang smiled: "If only you wrote this script!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "You have to believe in your own strength, if it wasn't for the script I wrote, you wouldn't have filmed it?"
Wu Jianye just provided Zhao Baogang with a synopsis of the story, and then gave Wang Shuo's adaptation rights to Zhao Baogang, and he found the screenwriter himself, so now Zhao Baogang will have such a saying.
Zhao Baogang smiled and said, "I can shoot!"
Wu Jianye patted Zhao Baogang's shoulder in fear, and said with a smile: "Shoot it well, I have already read the script of this TV series, it is very good, it will definitely cause a sensation!"
Zhao Baogang nodded seriously, although Zhao Baogang has become famous now, no one will dislike his growing fame.
Now the domestic TV drama industry is just the opposite of the film industry, with the decline of the film industry, the TV drama industry is like the rising sun.
And Zhao Baogang has also found his own direction of efforts, he wants to become one of the best TV drama directors in China.
After encouraging Zhao Baogang and others, Wu Jianye also asked Li Xiaowan to allocate funds for Zhao Baogang and others to gather with the crew at night.
This is already a habit of court culture, there will be a party before the start of TV series and movies, and there will also be a party when it is finished.
After Zhao Baogang and the others left happily, Li Xiaowan stayed.
"The two TV series "Addicted" and "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" have been negotiated with Yanjing TV, Huhai TV, and Qilu TV, and after filming, they will be broadcast on these three TV stations!"
The prosperity of TV dramas also marks that TV stations are slowly changing from poor households to wealthy households, although the advertising income is not as amazing as later generations, but it is enough to support TV stations!
Now the TV series produced by Tangting Culture is a golden signboard, and when the crew was preparing, it had already attracted many TV stations to come to negotiate.
However, because these two TV series have some Beijing flavor, Li Xiaowan finally decided to sell these two TV series to Yanjing TV, as for Huhai TV, it is because Huhai TV has always had a good cooperative relationship with Tangting Culture, and Qilu TV is now a very influential TV station in China, and there is no way to compare it with 25 years later.
Wu Jianye asked, "How much is each episode?"
"The first round of broadcast rights, "Addicted" is 50,000 per episode, and "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" is 80,000 per episode!" Li Xiaowan replied.
Now Wang Shuo is the largest IP in the domestic film and television industry, and the TV series adapted by him will be more expensive, and the reason why the price of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" is so high is that there is no other reason, all because the screenwriter of this TV series is Wu Jianye.
A "Legend of the New White Lady" has established Wu Jianye's status in the domestic TV drama circle, although the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" is not a masterpiece adaptation, but with Wu Jianye and Li Baotian, it already has enough ratings appeal!
Li Baotian's main achievement now is still in movies, and now starring in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" is a dimensionality reduction attack, and his appeal is naturally stronger.
If this is changed 25 years later, an actor like Li Baotian will not be able to compare with Xiao Xianrou.
Wu Jianye nodded, this is already a very good price at this time, the recovery cost of TV series is not the same as that of movies, there are not many TV series like "Addicted" and "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" that can recover their costs in the first round, and more companies will not recover their costs until the second round of broadcast rights.
Of course, this does not calculate the advertising benefits of the two TV series.
Compared with the costume "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", the advertising revenue of the modern drama "Addiction" will be higher.
To put it simply, the TV series "Addicted" must surpass "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" in terms of revenue per episode!
However, the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" also has an advantage over "Addictive", that is, the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" will be broadcast on ATV, and ATV will also have to pay the purchase price.
Really wait for TV dramas to be able to buy a good price on TV stations, and wait until CCTV launches the advertising king, at that time the TV stations can really see the power of advertising.
At that time, various TV stations introduced new advertising policies one after another, which directly led to a sharp increase in the income of TV stations, and the purchase price of TV dramas also rose.
