Chapter 188: The budget of the big male lead
It is said that at a certain award ceremony, someone interviewed Chen Daoming. Ask him who he knows about so many little fresh meat at the scene.
As a result, he pointed to Huang Xuan and asked if it was him.
For many old drama bones and big names in the industry, Xiao Xianrou is actually just a title.
In fact, these days, Xiao Xianrou and old drama bones are just a kind of character design.
There are a lot of small fresh meat that has overturned this year, and there are more old drama bones that have overturned!
Even the emperor and grandson are beautiful, and they have also acted in works like "Warring States", and Shan Zheng has starred in "Xi Youji", not to mention others?
In fact, Peng Hui said that Xiao Xianrou is the best candidate in this circle.
You don't see next year's "Sea Fortress", which directly gives people a glimpse of what is called the face of the entertainment industry.
What's wrong, what's wrong is Xiaoxianrou.
Yes, the deer sister is not doing well.
But to be honest, you can see that he's really improved.
It's just that the progress hasn't been that great.
But things like weak plots and common sense mistakes, even throwing the problem on Lu Mei, it seems a little speechless.
He is a small actor, what kind of moth can he make in Director Teng's crew?
That's Director Teng!
Don't say that you are just Xiaotong's boyfriend, even if you are Xiaotong, you don't dare to come nonsense in Director Teng's movie!
!
Fortunately, Director Teng's follow-up performance was not bad, all kinds of admitting mistakes, being honest or something, but he could have preserved his reputation somewhat.
Or maybe it's discredited.
Of course, it's also a bear.
But it's also sad to say.
Director Teng has filmed a lifetime of dramas, even "33 Days of Broken Love", which was a big hit and became a curse, did not make Director Teng popular.
But on the contrary, a "Sea Fortress" made most people remember Director Teng's name.
Of course, the most tragic is Zhang Li.
That's really miserable.
At his peak, he created two great directors of the divine dramas "Ming Dynasty" and "Towards the Republic", but they were planted in traffic dramas.
Is it because Zhang Li's strength is not strong?
!
Even if he is the current director, Zhang Li's hard power can also be ranked in the top 20!
There is no age limit for the profession of director.
You can shoot even at the age of ninety if you want to.
But why did Zhang Li's film end up being a bad movie?
First of all, cost control.
This is a headache for any great director.
It's the truth.
Do you think that only a director in Xiangjiang will make 70,000 or 80,000 straw hats?
No!
Even more so in the mainland!
It's just that no one dared to say it before.
One thing to say, can five or six hundred million make an excellent fantasy drama?
You're thinking about fart!
I won't talk about fighting spirits, just talk about "Martial Arts" that is more inclined to Gao Wu.
If you want to show your own battle scene, you need to smash at least a billion red bills of special effects!
Yes, a billion.
This is not counting the actors' salaries, not counting the production costs.
As a costume film, don't talk about anything else, just talk about props, and there will be 100 million if you don't say anything.
This is just props, as well as scene selection, construction, and many other things, all of which are counted, basically 500 million!
Special effects + scenes + props are at least 1500 million.
Then there is the actor's salary.
The actor's salary, if the actor does not use Peng Hui himself, he has one of the leading actors in a play in his previous life, but he can consider it.
is Xiao Zhan, one of the male protagonists of "Chen Qingling".
His acting skills can be adjusted, but his appearance is really good.
Of course, Yang Yang can too.
It's just that Yang Yang at this time is still too greasy.
Heroine.
The heroine must be directly made into Liu Tianxian or Nazha.
However, Tianxian doesn't make TV series, I'm afraid the salary will be very high, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Nazha's case is to undergo a makeover makeover.
It's more close to Ding Jianguo's makeup.
In other words, it weakens the characteristics of her Xinjiang people and reduces the sense of disobedience in the picture.
At this time, Xiao Zhan is a newcomer, and he is almost only paid for 50,000 episodes.
Nazha is a little more, but it is only 400,000 per episode.
As for the overall episodes.
"Martial Arts" is a typical cool drama with a big male lead.
So if the adaptation of this book is counted, it should be about one hundred and twenty episodes in three seasons.
Even if it's one hundred and twenty episodes.
The combined salary of the male and female protagonists is only 54 million.
A little more, 60 million.
And then counting the other supporting roles and whatever, there are many roles in this play, basically all of them are added together, not to mention more than 200 people.
If these people are paid a lot, they will be 100,000 per episode, and if they are paid less, they will be paid a few thousand.
All things considered, the salary of all the cast and crew is only 100 million.
In other words, if you want to make an excellent domestic fantasy drama, you need at least 1.6 billion investment!
But here's the problem.
What is the concept of 1.6 billion?
The premiere price of "Do You Know" is 800 million!
One "Martial Arts" is equivalent to the price of two "Know"!
And pay attention.
This is the cost, not the selling price!
The cost of "Do You Know" will not exceed 700 million at most!
If you want to buy the three seasons of "Martial Arts", you will need 1.8 billion if you can't get it!
In other words, each season is equivalent to about forty episodes, which is an average of between 600 million and 800 million per quarter!
Know that this could be the selling price!
Use the selling price to buy a third of the plot's big male lead......
It's a joke!
In China, even if it is Mango Channel, which is the No. 1 local station in terms of ratings, it will hurt its muscles and bones to take out 800 million!
What's more, other satellite TV stations?
And "Do You Know" is seventy-three episodes.
But one-third of "Martial Arts" is only about forty episodes!
1.8 billion, 120 episodes, and a single episode cost exceeded 15 million!
It's a joke!
Who would dare to buy it?
Who can guarantee that this drama will definitely make money?
Well, even if there are really fools who shoot it, for example, shoot the first part.
And coincidentally, this drama also happened to be popular.
And then what?
What about the second part?
In the second part, Xiao Zhan's salary will increase by at least ten times!
That's 500,000 per episode.
Is this a high salary?
It's not high, but in the case of the original production cost of fifteen million, it is 450,000 more......
And if you want to ensure that the original person is paid, you need to pay more!
In other words, maybe the cost will eventually reach 16 million or even 17 million episodes per episode!
Oh, I forgot, this drama is a double heroine, that is, another actor who has a lot of scenes, Ying Huanhuan's salary is also high.
