Chapter 304: Which is more important
"Mr. Li..."
Regarding Li Mengru's idea of being inspired and excited, Shao Honghui, as the director, had to pour cold water: "Please Mo Lan as the heroine, I'm afraid our budget is a problem, right?"
Due to the hot domestic film market, the remuneration of actors is increasing year by year, and the first- and second-tier actors do not worry about filming at all, so the price code is getting higher and higher, which has had a considerable impact on the industry.
For example, Zhou Fei, the highest-paid actress at present, offers about 50 million for a movie, and the top actor is even higher, reaching 80 million.
The consequence of such a high salary is that most of the investment budget of a domestic blockbuster film must be used on the actor's salary, although the market appeal of big-name stars is undoubted, but it is an indisputable fact that the production level of domestic films is burdened by star salaries.
There is no shortage of debate in the industry.
However, this is also due to the laws of the market, such as Zhou Fei, there are many project investors who want to ask her to make movies, and the scenes she can shoot in a year are also limited.
Mo Lan is a first-line female star, although her main job is a singer, but the tens of millions of fans on the Feixun blog are not brushed out, if she is invited to play the heroine of "Chasing the Murderer", the salary will be a big problem.
Shao Honghui's idea must be correct, but Li Mengru smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, anyway, I have a way to invite her, and now the problem is solved!"
She said as she looked at Luo Kai with a smile.
Luo Kai ignored her gaze.
Shao Honghui will be skeptical, but if Mo Lan can be invited to join, it will undoubtedly greatly promote the box office results of this movie, and of course he is happy to see it.
Solving a big problem, Li Mengru was in a good mood, she said to Luo Kai: "Nothing else, aren't you going to Su Yunzhen? ”
Luo Kai nodded, took out his mobile phone and called Su Yunzhen.
Yesterday, Su Yunzhen gave him his contact information.
rang a few times, and the phone was connected: "Luo Kai, I'm waiting for your call!"
Luo Kai smiled: "I'll come over now, is it convenient for you here?"
"It's very convenient, come over quickly, I'm in the company now, call me when it's time, I'll come down to pick you up." ”
“OK。 ”
After ending the call with Su Yunzhen, Luo Kai said goodbye to Li Mengru and Shao Honghui, and then left the company and rushed to Crown Media, where Su Yunzhen was.
Crown Media is a large company in the industry, with a strength far beyond Dream Media and belongs to Crown Group.
Su Yunzhen debuted and signed a contract with Crown Media, but now she has opened her own studio, affiliated to Crown Media, and she has a lot of resources and support under the big tree, so she is very popular in the entertainment circle in Beijing.
Su Yunzhen's name of the Four Little Flowers was also praised by Crown Media.
Crown Media is also in the art park, and the Crown Building, which belongs to Crown Group, is only a few hundred meters away from the Star Building where Dream Media is located, so Luo Kai walked there directly without driving.
When he arrived downstairs in the Crown Building, he called Su Yunzhen.
Su Yunzhen came down quickly, and saw Luo Kai very enthusiastically: "Luo Kai, I'm really bothering you." ”
Luo Kai shook her hand and said with a smile: "You're welcome, I still want to invite you to make a cameo appearance in my first movie!"
It is difficult for a lonely person to mix in the entertainment industry, the relationship is very important, and it is normal for Luo Kai and Su Yunzhen to cooperate with each other, and it is undoubtedly a win-win situation for both parties.
Su Yunzhen personally took Luo Kai to the 21st floor of the Crown Building, where the film and television production department of Crown Media is located, so the film "Love Journey" starring her is also in post-production here.
Su Yunzhen still attaches great importance to this film that focuses on the summer file, not only because her own studio has investment, but more importantly, she needs to have a film with a good box office to maintain her coffee position.
So she personally participated in the later work, and invited Luo Kai to compose the theme song of the movie through Mo Lan and sang it herself, all to ensure the success of the film.
The first-line stars are very beautiful, but the competition pressure is huge, and if you want to maintain your popularity and coffee position, you can't rely on hype alone, in the final analysis, you have to rely on your works and achievements.
In the reception room, Luo Kai met the director, producer and music producer of "Love Journey".
Fang Yong, the director of "Love Journey", has a good reputation, has made many film and television dramas, and has won awards at home and abroad, but he has a kind attitude and no arrogance, and he laughs that he is a fan of Luo Kai.
Luo Kai naturally admired and admired for a long time, and he was not fluttering because of the other party's praise.
The producer is an executive of Crown Media, and this fat executive also smiles at Luo Kai, and his words are affectionate, as if he is a friend who has not seen Luo Kai for many years, with a faint sense of solicitation.
Since the EP "Northern Sky" was launched and sold well, there have been many attempts to corner Dream Media, but Luo Kai has no idea of changing the court.
If he wants to go further, Crown Media is undoubtedly an excellent choice, compared with this predator in the circle, Dream Media is undoubtedly a small shrimp-like existence, and the resource support it can give is very different.
But for the other party's solicitation, Luo Kai just smiled.
In the end, Ji Yuanjie, the music producer of "Love Journey", was a little smiling and smiling, saying polite words, and his tone revealed an insincere taste.
This is not surprising, the film music producer is responsible for the composition and soundtrack of the film, Su Yunzhen was not satisfied with the theme song, and specially invited Luo Kai over, it is normal for Ji Yuanjie to be unhappy.
It's just that the director, producer, and female lead actor are present, and Ji Yuanjie can only hide his dissatisfaction.
But what kind of character Luo Kai is, he can't see the other party's thoughts, but he doesn't bother to pay attention to it.
He was invited by Su Yunzhen, and he only needs to be responsible for Su Yunzhen, and what others think doesn't matter.
After some polite greetings, everyone didn't waste time and went straight to the video room.
Crown Media has a lot of money, and one company occupies three floors, with the upper 22 floors for office space and the 21st floor for work areas, in addition to the post-production department, there are studios, recording studios and independent video studios.
The audio-visual room is specially used to play samples of film and television music, and the equipment is very advanced, and it is completely set up in accordance with the standard decoration of the theater, and there are twenty or thirty seats for the audience alone.
The main equipment for playback is the latest digital laser projection, and the viewing effect is stronger than that of ordinary theaters, after Luo Kai and Su Yunzhen and others sat down, the film soon began to play.
Since the post-production was not yet complete, only half-finished dailies were seen, which were played for nearly 2 hours in total.
This "Love Journey" is a typical urban love light comedy, the production level of the film is very high, the cast is quite strong, the story is also remarkable, there are many warm plots with tears in laughter, and of course the final ending is a happy ending.
From Luo Kai's point of view, the box office of this movie should be guaranteed, and Su Yunzhen, as the heroine, performed quite well in the film.
After the sample film ended, the lights in the video room were turned on again, and the high-level film of Crown Media said to Luo Kai with a smile: "Teacher Luo Kai, it's almost time for dinner now, let's go to dinner together, how about talking about work when we come back?"
"Thank you..."
Luo Kai thought for a while and said: "Don't be in a hurry to eat, I have some inspiration after watching the film just now, Manager Chen, do you have a piano here? Or an electronic piano can also be used." ”
"Now?"
Manager Chen was taken aback: "You're going to write a song now?"
Luo Kai smiled and said, "Yes." ”
In the afternoon, he has to go to Sunflower Kindergarten to participate in the rehearsal of the musical "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", so he has no time to spend here, thinking about a quick solution.
This crown media executive didn't know what Luo Kai thought, and if he knew, he was afraid that he would vomit blood.
Participating in the performance rehearsal of kindergarten can be more important than the creation of the theme song of a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions?
Luo Kai has made millions!
But I'm sorry, Luo Kai really didn't feel that the latter was more important.
