Chen Jie left, and Luo Yuan found Gu Lang.

Gu Lang said: "Does Director Luo want to win over Chen Jie to enter Crimson, is the price we pay too much if it's just a director?"

"Of course, it's not just a director. ”

Luo Yuan smiled: "I wrote the script, and I know better than anyone what the quality is, so it is also in my plan to invest in this drama." ”

"Planned?"

Gu Lang's eyes flashed: "No wonder Director Luo's new movie costs only more than 10 million, he wants to put the rest of the money on this project, right?"

"That's right. ”

Luo Yuan nodded, compared to "Crazy Stone", the second movie is just a transition, Luo Yuan needs to accumulate more capital to shoot some big productions, although participating in the script collection is a temporary idea, but Luo Yuan has no reason to give up the big cake of "In the Name of the People".

"In that case......

Gu Lang got up and said, "I'm going to talk to Yindu Media about the investment in this drama, this should be the first cooperation between our Scarlet and the Seventh Congress, right?"

"Although most of the other side thinks we are stupid. ”

Luo Yuan shrugged his shoulders, the industry's general disapproval of political dramas is especially more important than historical themes, and this inherent concept will not change too much just because the script is from Luo Yuan's hand

And that's exactly what happened.

The negotiation between Gu Lang and Yindu Media was very smooth, and the other party was happy to have someone to participate in the investment of this drama, because they themselves did not make this drama a big project.

In the end, the negotiated price was 40 million!

Yindu Media paid 30 million, Luo Yuan paid 40 million, and the investment in the entire project reached a total of 70 million, and the cost alone was almost the same as Luo Yuan's previous "Langya Bang", and Scarlet became the largest investor in this TV series!

"Take a risk. ”

After signing the contract three days later, Gu Lang said to Luo Yuan with a wry smile: "The investment in a single TV series has cost so much money, plus the establishment of your new movie, the company's foundation has been hollowed out in an instant, and the company will not be happy if you lose the bet." ”

"Maybe everyone is going to lose their jobs?"

Luo Yuan joked, he went from nothing to the current level, relying on never failing, if he couldn't put all the costs into it every time, then he wouldn't be able to improve today.

"Looks like I'm going to have to be careful in the future. ”

Gu Lang shrugged his shoulders, but the worry in his heart dissipated a lot with Luo Yuan's jokes, Luo Yuan's script, even if it is an inherent disadvantage of political dramas, it shouldn't be a loss, right?

Then there's the question of the actors.

When Luo Yuan was writing the script of a new movie, he also sent invitations to TV series appointments to his favorite actors as investors, some of whom had cooperated with Luo Yuan......

"Director Luo, I read the script. ”

The first person to reply to Luo Yuan was Zhang Qianzheng, who was a famous old actor in China, who played Emperor Liang in "Langya Bang", and the role he was going to play this time was Chen Hai's father Chen Yanyan: "I am very interested in this role, so I have to take ...... this play"

"It's good for Mr. Zhang to call me Director Xiaoluo. ”

Luo Yuan joked with a smile: "I am the biggest investor in this drama, and we can be regarded as indirect cooperation, right?"

"Xiao Luodao, screaming as if he was disrespectful. ”

Although Zhang Qianzheng and Luo Yuan did not have much contact, the two got along very happily in the process of cooperating in "Langya Bang", so they spoke quite cordially.

"I know that's not what I mean. ”

"Cheng, then who is our little Luo Dao going to find to play the leading role this time, this person is difficult to choose. ”

"The words of the actor ......"

Luo Yuan said a name.

Zhang Qianzheng was taken aback, and then smiled bitterly: "This person's acting skills are no problem, but he is coming to play the leading role, it is estimated that there will be controversy in the outside world, and the recent news about him is really ......."

"Character flaws are one thing. ”

Luo Yuan said with a smile: "But the entertainment industry says that wind is rain, and if you have a little flaw, someone will magnify you infinitely, no one is perfect, Zhang Lao has cooperated with Zhou Mu, he is really as unbearable as the outside world says? The invitation has not been sent out, if Zhang Lao thinks that this person has a bad character, then I will play another one." ”

"Xiao Luo Dao is giving me a problem. ”

Zhang Qianzheng smiled heartily: "Of course not, there is really no problem with this person's character, but his emotional intelligence is too low, and he is too conceited, since Director Luo wants to use him, I personally have no opinion!"

"That's good. ”

Luo Yuan was also worried that the actor he chose was really of poor character, but after checking it from Zhang Qianzheng, he was a lot more relieved.

A few more phone calls followed.

In addition to Chen Yanyan's role, Luo Yuan also found an actor he had worked with, that is, Liu Min, who once played Concubine Jing in "Langya Bang", and this time the role was Gao Yuliang's wife.

Liu Jing also agreed.

Compared with those traffic-level actors who need to consider the ratings of TV dramas, old actors like Liu Jing and Zhang Qianzheng pay more attention to the quality of the script, and they will give priority to the qualified script.

Chen Jie is also contacting the actors.

Although the latter has declined a little in the past two years, the contacts accumulated in the TV circle for many years have some effect after all, and this drama has Luo Yuan's investment, and the persuasiveness is stronger than him alone.

Gao Yuliang.

Li Dakang.

Sha Ruijin.

These important roles have also been gradually implemented, and they are basically old actors, although they are not particularly famous, they belong to the group of actors familiar to the audience like Zhang Qianzheng and Liu Jing.

Finally, it's the main character.

Luo Yuan discussed with Chen Jie, Chen Jie didn't have any objections to Luo Yuan's ideas, but he was a little worried about his words: "He has a bad reputation in the past two years, and the recent news has been a bit big, and he is not treated well by the public, will it affect the crew......"

"An actor of the same age, he is the most cost-effective. ”

Luo Yuan said: "Considering that 80% of the actors in the entire crew are old actors, if someone else comes over, they may be directly pressed and disappear, our choice range is here." ”

"That's right. ”

Chen Jie finally nodded: "Then it's decided, Yindu has already started to prepare for the crew." ”

"Over there?"

Luo Yuan couldn't help laughing.

It seems that Chen Jie no longer regards himself as a member of Yindu Media, and the difference between words says it all.

Luo Yuan asked Baozi to send an invitation to the male number one.

This actor became popular with a drama when he was young, and since then he has starred in several popular and popular TV series, but in the past two years, his popularity has dropped a lot, and all kinds of black materials have emerged on the Internet in an endless stream, and a scandal of beating security guards has recently broken out......

The actor's name is Zhou Mu.

An actor who combines thousands of black materials, and the characters in the play are spoofed as emojis by countless netizens......
