Chapter 071: Li Ximin's kindness
"Sister Yuanshan, where are these words, how can I blame you? And this situation is purely accidental, no one is to blame, this decision was also made by me with you, even if it really pounces in the end, I have more than half of my own responsibility. Jiang Shuyan said.
Kong Yuanshan was silent for a long time, and suddenly showed a self-deprecating smile, "It used to be like this, every time I confidently led an artist to break through, I always thought that I would definitely be able to break into a big world, but in the end, I ...... I maybe, really not very suitable for leading artists, really. ”
Jiang Shuyan's face became solemn, and he said lightly, "Sister Yuan Shan, this matter is not our problem, I must say that it is also because Director Quan gave up Lin Huiyan and chose me, and offended the senior management of M.K. that led to the current result, and now everything has just begun, what about your confidence when you took the initiative to sign me? If Sister Yuan Shanjie started to doubt herself at the beginning and was about to give up, then I, Jiang Shuyan, just saw the wrong person." ”
Kong Yuanshan was stunned for a long time and smiled, "Are you provoking me?"
Jiang Shuyan looked at her very sincerely, "No, I mean seriously, if Sister Yuanshan suddenly changes her mind again, this 'Jiang Shuyan Studio' can be disbanded at any time." ”
Kong Yuanshan glared at her with a smile, "Just kidding, just kidding, are you still here?!"
……
Since Jiang Shuyan bought a house for Song Zhenhua alone, Song Wei has basically not stayed in her own house.
Song Zhenhua's cooking is delicious, and Song Wei is so lazy that she will never cook if she starves to death, and she doesn't even bother to cook instant noodles. After Song Zhenhua lived upstairs, Song Wei naturally became the king of rubbing rice, even if Jiang Shuyan was not at home.
The first time or two, she was polite, it was Song Zhenhua who took the initiative to invite her to eat together, and after eating two or three times, she felt like eating her own home.
Originally, I had a daughter, but now it's okay, it's like raising two daughters.
Jiang Shuyan took over "The Twelve Demon Queens" Song Wei knew about it, but she didn't let Song Wei know about it, although she didn't know the bottom of her heart, but she didn't want to worry about her like Song Wei all the time, and she was even more afraid that Song Wei wanted to help "The Twelve Demon Queens" attract investors or something because of this relationship.
If Song Wei helped, even if the vacancy was filled, but in the end, she couldn't hand in the results, wouldn't it hurt Song Wei.
As for people like Lee Hee-min and Oh Tae-hyun, although they still maintain frequent contact now, and they have also asked her whether she has accepted new plays, but when she first asked, she only verbally decided that the contract had not been signed, and she did not ask, and when she asked again, it was already the current dilemma of not getting up or down.
Whether it is for Quan Shimin and the entire "Twelve Demon Queens", or for Jiang Shuyan who took over the role of Yin Ji.
"Is there something wrong with your new drama in terms of investment?"
When he saw this Kakao message sent by Li Ximin, Jiang Shuyan was so shocked that he almost thought that he had misunderstood.
Then I remembered that my current agent, Kong Yuanshan, and Li Ximin are cousins and brothers, and they are quite close, and she always forgets this relationship.
So, that's what Kong Yuanshan told him.
Jiang Shuyan: Yes, the director chose me and offended a certain senior management of M.K Film and Television, the producer and big financier, and then that's it.
In order to appear relaxed, two helpless expressions were deliberately added to the back.
Li Ximin: 500 million?
Jiang Shuyan's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he didn't have to guess to know that Kong Yuanshan had probably already told Li Ximin all the information.
Li Ximin: Shu Yan, have you ever thought that in fact, I can help with this? [sneer] [sneer]
Jiang Shuyan couldn't understand what Li Ximin meant by this, and he knew very well that he really had this ability, whether it was to move his own family or in his own personal name, it should not be too difficult to move five billion.
However, Jiang Shuyan, who saw this, not only was not half happy, but his expression became more solemn.
Jiang Shuyan: Sister Yuanshan spoke to you?
Li Ximin: What did you say? You said I would help with the investment? No.
Jiang Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief: Sister Yuan Shan didn't say that she needed your help, so do you think I would need it? This is a problem that the crew should worry about and solve, I am just an actor who participates.
Li Ximin: But what if this gap can't be filled? Terminate the contract or extend it indefinitely?
Jiang Shuyan: If it is postponed, I can go to other dramas during this period, since the problem is not me, then my free arrangement of schedules is not considered a drama, right?
Li Ximin waited for a while: Do you really want to ask me for a favor? This money is not very difficult for me, really.
Jiang Shuyan: Well, I really don't think about it.
Li Ximin: ......
Of course, Jiang Shuyan knew that Li Ximin was kind and wanted to help him, but five billion won was really not a small amount, even if she and Li Ximin were already friends, but they were not familiar enough, so Li Ximin casually invested five billion in order to help her crew solve the financial problem.
The key is that if there is an absolute guarantee of the final result, it is easy to say, but "Twelve Enchantresses" does not.
Once pounced, five billion will be sent directly.
Unexpectedly, just a day later, the crew called and said that the funding problem had been solved.
Naturally, it is not that M.K has relented, but that he has found a new investor, and the other party has made quite a lot of money, directly raising 600 million, which not only fills the gap, but is still more than the previous total budget.
So the boot date is still as originally scheduled, two months later.
But in the two months before the start-up, Jiang Shuyan couldn't really have nothing to do.
I made four or five trips just to try on makeup and costumes.
Then there are makeup photos, promotional photos, pilot promotional videos, etc., although "Twelve Demon Queens" is only an online drama, but the steps that ordinary dramas should have will not be less.
During this period, it was the ending of "The Goddess of Faith" and the completion of "The Age of Heroes".
Also, the point is to read the script thoroughly first.
This time, she has risen from a supporting actress to a heroine, and it is a 22-episode TV series, not a movie of one or two hours in total, and the number of scenes and lines is not at the same level as "The Goddess of Faith" and "The Age of Heroes".
The benefits of Korean dramas here come, most of the TV drama episodes are basically not too long, and the focus is not too much; unlike domestic dramas, most of them are casually in their fifties or more, and some are seventy or eighty levels are not enough, and they can continue to shoot with a sequel, but in fact, the most obvious characters, the plot is lengthy and dragging, and the plot may still be in place in the past few episodes.
The advantage of this kind of drama is that there is a lot of pay, and the remuneration of the main actors is calculated according to the number of episodes, and the longer the number of episodes, the more the salary will naturally be.
But Jiang Shuyan doesn't like this kind of drama very much, if the quality is really good, it is understandable that it will take so long to complete the filming, but this kind of drama is very rare, and more of it is purely the length of the water drama.
Not to mention that the audience is tired of watching it when it is released later, but they are so tired when they shoot as actors.
When Jiang Shuyan first came out, he filmed an eighty-five episode fantasy IP TV series adapted from a novel, and the plot was changed too violently, but many of the things that should have been left were reduced, and the later stage was also a five-cent special effect, and it was needless to say what came out in the end.
Jiang Shuyan was afraid of filming at one time, and the first condition for choosing a TV series from then on was that it could not exceed fifty-five episodes at most, and one more episode would not work.
In this comparison, the twenty-two episodes of "Twelve Enchantresses" are really nothing.
