Chapter 365: Production Costs

"Seriously, I was surprised by your decision, but I trust you. Qin Zhengfeng continued: "I will find the best team in Xingyue to do this drama." ”

Lin Su was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief: "Thank you Mr. Qin for your trust, I believe we can." ”

After a pause, she said again: "But I suddenly thought about it, the team is not necessarily the best team of your stars and moons, but the team that is the best at doing costume dramas. ”

"Well, I understand. Qin Zhengfeng responded.

Lin Su's eyes swept over the text on the computer, and said: "The investment in this drama is very large, I will fax you the outline and episode outline in a while, even if you don't plan to attract investment, you will need these in the casting." ”

"Is it so early to cast this time?"

Lin Su nodded, "There are more characters in this drama, just listing the characters, it took us more than a month, the casting work will be a big project, the more time is sufficient, the more suitable the selected actors." ”

Gao Lei and Lin Su served as screenwriters, Xie Tianhong and Huang Jing co-directed, and there was investment from a large company like Xingyue Film and Television, no matter how you look at this drama, it is a particularly good project, and there must be a lot of actors who want to participate.

"Okay, then let's leave the casting to Director Zhu, we also know his ability. ”

Qin Zhengfeng said, and asked Lin Su again: "In terms of starring, do you have a favorite actor?"

Lin Su hesitated, opened and closed his mouth a few times, and finally chose to be silent.

Qin Zhengfeng noticed her expression, and he had a number in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Why, the actor you want has no schedule, or is there a problem with the salary?"

Such a project configuration will definitely make the actors in the circle flock to it, and the reason why Lin Su is embarrassed, there are only these two possibilities he can think of.

But it's not.

Lin Su hesitated: "I have a candidate for Feng Yan's actor in my heart, but I am afraid that it is not suitable, this role should not be as good as Princess Xie Wei in appearance." ”

There is a record in the historical books that Princess Xie Wei is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament, and Feng Yan is recorded as her intelligence, whether it is based on historical speculation or script logic, these two people are in terms of personality, Princess Xie Wu's appearance is more brilliant, and Feng Yan is a think tank.

And the actor she considered playing Feng Yan was Wen Yao.

Ke Wen Yao's appearance conditions are too good, both her figure and her face are eye-catching.

Qin Zhengfeng was also a little embarrassed, "Actually, the body shape is good, costume dramas are not like modern dramas, it is difficult to highlight the figure in terms of costume styling, and the trouble is her face." ”

Wen Yao's face is really clear, to be honest, people who have not seen her play will definitely mistakenly think that she is a vase that eats with her face in the entertainment industry.

The average modern drama is fine.

But in this play, she plays a talented maid, and there must be a lot of rivalry with the princess, and the two of them go to that station, if the appearance suppresses the actor who plays the princess, it is estimated that it will be full of barrages like "the princess is not as beautiful as the maid".

And sometimes the appearance is too beautiful, and it is easy for people to play.

"So, find a princess who is more beautiful than her......" Lin Su muttered in a low voice.

Qin Zhengfeng didn't want to hit her, but the facts were in front of him, "It's not easy, there aren't many people in the entertainment industry who are more beautiful than her, and if you can catch her rival play, you have to be suitable for the role of a princess, there are only a handful of actresses like this." ”

Lin Su frowned slightly, this was what he was afraid of.

Qin Zhengfeng hesitated, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Just let her play to relieve your worries." ”

Princess Xie Wei has an outstanding appearance, so it is perfect for Wen Yao to act.

"I want her to play the heroine. Lin Su's expression was very serious, in terms of Wen Yao's acting skills and strength, as long as the script was not bad, she could carry the drama alone, and Lin Su didn't want to wronged her, both public and private.

Qin Zhengfeng also thought that they had a good personal relationship, thought about it, and said, "Why don't you ask Wen Yao what she means first?" Maybe she is willing to play the female supporting role, this drama is definitely a good drama.

"Let me think again. ”

"Do you have any target candidates for other actors?" Qin Zhengfeng asked again.

Lin Su shook his head, "Leave it to Director Zhu to look for it." After a pause, he said: "There are many supporting roles in it that are very important, if you can, it is best to choose some old drama bones." ”

"There were some people on the Internet who said that your play was more inclined to use newcomers, why did you want to use old actors in the supporting roles this time?"

Lin Su smiled, "Many old drama bones are excellent predecessors, because of the current situation of the market, it is difficult for them to play the leading role, but this cannot deny their strength, and a good drama is the joint efforts of all actors. ”

Qin Zhengfeng nodded, "I'll remind Director Zhu." ”

After speaking, he smiled again, "Director Zhu should also contact you at that time, you can discuss and discuss candidates, I am not good at selecting people, it is okay to negotiate the price." ”

Speaking of price, Lin Su remembered one thing.

"Mr. Qin, there was a new policy from the General Administration at the beginning of the year, have you seen it?"

"I've seen it, what's wrong?" Qin Zhengfeng didn't understand what she was referring to.

"It's about the actor's salary, what do you think, Mr. Qin?"

Qin Zhengfeng recalled the relevant content of the policy, and understood what she meant, and said: "Our previous actors' salaries were controlled between 35 and 38 percent, and now it is not impossible to control them within 35 percent. ”

Lin Su didn't speak.

Qin Zhengfeng raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

"Yes, but I want to limit it to 30 percent this time. ”

"So low?" Qin Zhengfeng was a little surprised, and was worried that this would not work, "In our project, the actor's salary is not high in the circle, although the current salary in the circle is not according to the policy, but after all, there is this policy there, and it is still feasible to press it within thirty-five, but it will be more difficult to compress it again." ”

Lin Su felt that it could, "The policy says that it is no more than thirty-five, which means that it is legal under this, so this data depends on the negotiation between the producer and the actor himself." ”

"That's what I said, but the salary range in the circle is there. ”

"There is no fixed range of salary, and there are actors who act without pay. Lin Su smiled and said: "We didn't maliciously lower the price, 30% is a reasonable ratio, and the actors who really want to appear in this drama will definitely agree, forget it if you don't want to." ”

Qin Zhengfeng: ......

Lin Su also said: "I actually thought about the cost ratio of this project a long time ago, the total salary of the actors accounts for 30%, the service is 40%, and the screenwriter and director team are 30%. ”

Hearing the last sentence, Qin Zhengfeng finally understood her true intention, this is to increase the salary of the screenwriter.
