Chapter 103: Preparing for the filming of "Star You" (Part I)
In the afternoon, when it was almost dinner time, Song Jia called Wang Bao, he basically browsed the script written by Wang Bao, and the overall feeling was not bad, I don't know if it could be popular, but it felt quite novel and interesting.
"Xiaobao, I probably read the script, the story is good, and the gimmick is also very good, alien + long time to see + star life + urban love + idol, several factors together should have the potential for fire. I think we can start preparing, this drama can be filmed!" Song Jia finally concluded that this drama is really good, and their studio can shoot it.
But now the problem is that their studio is full of calculations, and the funds of the two of them are added together, which is less than 20 million, which still counts the money from Wang Bao's album settlement. Although Wang Bao's album sold well, a series of things such as production and distribution were all done by Lao Yang, and of course Lao Yang took the lion, and Wang Bao also had some sales and creation shares.
So now the problem is, this "Star You" TV series will be filmed at least 30 million, or even more. Because Wang Bao has nothing in his studio, it is not much better than the leather bag company. Filming a TV series is not something that can be done with a simple sentence, it requires a lot of equipment, professionals, and "Star You" also has special effects, which cost money.
There is another one, although Wang Bao knew that "Star You" was more popular in his previous life, but he was not sure if it could be popular in this life, so he was still a little reluctant to let him invest all his net worth at once.
"Brother Song, it's okay to shoot, but isn't there enough money for our work? There are also directors, actors, and crew, where are we going to find these? Anyway, I don't know, I don't know about these. Wang Bao expressed his worries and wanted to see if Song Jia had any good suggestions.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll arrange these things. Now let's make sure, if we want to prepare for the filming of the drama "Star You", we must be looking for partners, do you have a suitable partner in mind?" Song Jia said that he could handle the crew and personnel, and now he wants to know if Wang Bao has any investment partners he wants to cooperate with.
In fact, Wang Bao has something he wants to cooperate with, and he knows one of the companies that shoot TV series, Zhao Beigang's Xin Baoyuan Company. But he can't grasp it well, whether Xin Baoyuan's company will be optimistic about his script and whether he will shoot this drama.
So after Wang Bao thought about it for a while, he expressed his opinion: "I know a Xin Baoyuan company, this is director Zhao Beigang's company, I don't know if it's okay? What do you say, Brother Song?"
In fact, Song Jia fully understands Wang Bao's situation, but he himself is also inconvenient to say, so he said to Wang Bao: "In this case, you discuss this matter with Zichen first, and then we will make an idea together, how to decide this matter in the end, we are not in a hurry now, just take your time." ”
"Okay, that's it for now, I'll call Zichen about it later. After Wang Bao and Song Jia finished this matter, looked at the time, estimated it, and felt that Zhang Zichen should be resting, or finish filming and call it a day.
So Wang Bao picked up the phone and called Zhang Zichen: "Jingle bell......"
Zhang Zichen didn't set up a ringtone, and a monotonous phone rang on the phone.
"Hey, Xiaobao, why are you so punctual today, knowing that I just finished work, I called over. In the past few days, Wang Bao has called Zhang Zichen every day to make porridge on the phone, and even a person who is in love always has endless love words. But two days ago, because of the recording of the program, the time of the call was not fixed, and today it happened that this time passed, which made Zhang Zichen misunderstood.
But Wang Bao will definitely not be stupid enough to say immediately, I didn't call you at the time, it was because there was something to do with Balabala.
"Isn't the end of the show, I have time today, and I miss you very much, so even if I count the time, I will call you as soon as possible, and I want to hear your voice. "Oh, no, this passage gave Wang Bao goosebumps when he said it. He's not the kind of person who says meaty love words, but sometimes it's still necessary to say these meaty love words.
"Giggle...... You're so good! I miss you too!" Zhang Zichen said after a giggle on the phone.
Although Zhang Zichen's voice sounded tired, Wang Bao listened sweetly in his heart, feeling that his fleshy words were not in vain.
"Are you tired these days? I'm not by your side, no one has given you a massage, and no one has given you stewed soup to drink, I feel distressed just thinking about it!" Wang Bao expressed his concern and love for his girlfriend half-sincerely and half-performingly.
"I'm definitely tired, but it doesn't matter, this filming is a lot easier than I used to. The relationship with the crew is also very good because of you, and after filming every day, everyone talks and laughs, and I feel a lot more relaxed. I just miss your soup and massage a little, and I really want to finish filming quickly and run to you. Zhang Zichen is completely inseparable from Wang Bao's feeling now, and he can't wait to stay with him all the time.
"Otherwise, I'll fly over now and finish filming with you, right?" Wang Bao heard his girlfriend say this, didn't think about it, and immediately blurted out.
But Zhang Zichen was taken aback after hearing it, he didn't expect him to be so important in Wang Bao's heart, although he felt a burst of sweetness in his heart, and said beautifully: "No, no, you should also have your own things to be busy, I will finish filming here soon, and we will be together by then." In the future, I will try to take on as little drama as possible, so that I can accompany you more. ”
In fact, Wang Bao also felt impulsive after speaking, but he didn't regret saying that. If Zhang Zichen really needs it again, he will really fly over immediately.
"I don't have anything to do for the time being, but I'm discussing with Song Jia today, our studio wants to make a TV series, but I'm afraid that the funds are not enough, so I'm worried. Since Zhang Zichen mentioned his work, Wang Bao took the opportunity to say the purpose of finding Zhang Zichen.
"What TV series? Just your small studio, you still have to make your own TV series?" Zhang Zichen was really a little surprised when he heard Wang Bao finish speaking. Wang Bao and Song Jia's studio, she knows, saying that the studio must be reluctant, and it is stronger than the leather bag company.
And Wang Bao's studio, that's really his own studio. Like herself, she also has a studio, but she is affiliated with her original agency, which is called leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade. Unlike Wang Bao, a purely personal studio, in fact, Zhang Zichen sometimes admires Wang Bao for being stunned, because in his situation, being able to survive in the circle is also an outlier.
"Isn't it, early this morning, Song Jia came to my house to discuss my future development plan with me. As a result of our discussions, I'm now more stable in terms of singing. However, in terms of film and television dramas, it must continue to be strengthened. But with my qualifications and connections, it's a bit unrealistic to want to grow quickly. You also know, I wrote a script by myself, and Song Jia felt that I could shoot it after reading it, so there was such a thing. Wang Bao briefly said this, Zhang Zichen nodded while listening, feeling that Wang Bao and their analysis was very correct, and their minds were quite clear. But rashly deciding to shoot a TV series is not a trivial matter, and the water in it is not shallow.
Besides, she knows that Wang Bao is good at writing songs, but writing scripts and songs are two different things. She used to know about Wang Bao's writing of scripts, but in fact, she had everything in her heart. But now it's different, Wang Bao actually wants to start filming the script he wrote, and this is going to be a big game.
"That's it, you send me the script, I'll read the script and then talk, don't worry, it's not so simple to shoot a TV series. Wang Bao called Zhang Zichen and wanted to hear her opinion, so of course there was no problem.
"Okay, I'll send it to you later, and you can just give me some advice. I'm not in a hurry, it's just an intention now, and I have such an idea. Wang Bao nodded yes, indicating that he was not in a hurry.
"Okay, let's do it first, I'm just going to eat here, you send it to me, I'll take a look at it in the evening." After speaking, the two were tired of the love words for a while, and then reluctantly hung up the phone.
After Wang Bao hung up the phone, he sent the script of "Star You" to Zhang Zichen through Hongyan's mailbox. Then I wanted to have dinner, and finally decided to drive to my own store to eat, casually check the situation in the store, check the accounts or something.
Wang Bao's current shop, although it is not as popular as when he was there, is not bad, and it is a good deal in the entire food street. But because the store is too small, the income brought to him in one month is negligible for his current income.
All of them continue to open this small shop, for Wang Bao, one is a thought, and the other is a retreat. This small shop was opened when Wang Bao first came through, but it is said that it was the first thing he did after he came to this world, so the commemorative significance of this shop is greater than the practical significance. The second reason is that Wang Bao always feels that the entertainment industry is still unreliable, although he is developing well now, but there is always a voice in his heart telling him that he wants to leave a way back for himself, and this small shop is his last retreat. Even if he really can't develop in the entertainment industry in the future, he can live on this small shop.
After eating in the store, checking the accounts, and signing his name to his clerk, Wang Bao drove home.
Nothing to say all night!
Early the next morning, Wang Bao received a call from Zhang Zichen, and she said straight to the point: "The script is good, well, it should be said that it is very good, it is innovative, the plot is also attractive, there are some gimmicks to buy, and there is no fire potential." You can prepare for the shooting, but one thing must be said, I want to play the female lead!"
Wang Bao hadn't gotten up yet, and his mind hadn't fully cleared up when he received the call, so he casually agreed: "No problem, whatever you say is what, who called you my girlfriend!"
"Xiaobao, you're not obedient!" An eerie voice came from the phone, making Wang Bao sober up at once.
"What's the situation? Did I just say something?" Wang Bao pretended to be stupid.
"Hehe, don't tell me what you just said in a dream?" Zhang Zichen sneered and continued to threaten.
Wang Bao shook his head, thought about it carefully, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said!
"No, Zi Chen, we have something to say, you said that you played the female number one, and I agreed, is there a problem?" Wang Bao asked with a puzzled expression.
