Seeing that Xu Ru and Lin Chen had approved this script, Xu Changge was also relieved.

If he can't even pass this hurdle, Xu Changge feels that he might as well give up, and there will definitely be no future at all.

Now that I have a script, this is the first step in the filming of a TV series.

They also need to apply for the "Radio and Television Program Production and Business License", and go to the provincial radio and television to apply for the TV drama theme planning project.

After that, he signed a letter of intent for cooperation with the screenwriters, directors, cameramen, leading actors and other main creative personnel, and applied for the "TV Drama Production License (Type B)......

Xu Changge decided to hand over the work of handling documents and planning and project approval to Xu Ru.

Although it is a bit tedious, these tasks are the most workable - he hopes that his sister can keep up with his own progress!

Xu Ru naturally has no opinion on this, recently, the work of the studio has gradually been straightened out, and her time is also free, and he just happened to help deal with these things.

"This TV series ...... How much are you going to invest?" Lin Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "I see that there are many places in it that will use special effects, and the investment will exceed that of Ice Blade, right?"

Since the project is to be approved, it will naturally involve the issue of funding.

Xu Changge pondered for a moment and said: "I don't count my salary, I will invest another fifteen million!"

"Fifteen million!" Xu Ru's eyes widened and said, "Didn't you say eight million?

The total investment in "Ice Blade" is only about 8 million, and if Xu Changge's salary is counted in "The Legend of Tianhe", it will reach 17 million!

That's almost double the investment in Ice Blade!

The reason why the investment is so large is because this TV series has many scenes, and it is a costume drama, and the cost will be higher.

Another reason is the cost of special effects and shooting.

Fortunately, the current labor cost, the actor's salary is much lower than more than ten years later, otherwise, the investment of 15 million is ...... It's not enough for the salary of a traffic star.

As for the remaining seven million......

"I'm going to pull investment!" Xu Changge said in a deep voice, "This can reduce the financial pressure and share the risk at the same time." ”

The TV series "The Legend of Tianhe" has achieved good results in the previous life, but it is also unknown whether it can achieve the same eye-catching ratings when it comes out in advance this time.

No one can guarantee the ratings of a TV series until it is released on the market.

But the main reason is that Xu Changge can only come up with so much money at this time, and he will not move the remaining 12 million no matter what.

Lin Chen nodded, 15 million, not to mention a start-up studio, even a large film and television company, can be said to be a large investment.

Although he is also very optimistic about this script, the risk is very high, and if he is not careful, he will lose all his money.

He agreed with Xu Changge to find another investor to take the risk together.

The money may be less, but at least it can ensure that there is still room to turn over after the loss.

"What about the producer?" Lin Chen asked after thinking for a moment.

To shoot a TV series, a producer is essential.

This position is responsible for script coordination, pre-preparation, contract signing of film crew, cast and crew and production equipment, production cost accounting, financial review, and execution of filming production, post-production, etc.

can be said to be one of the most core characters in the crew.

Xu Changge also thought deeply about this issue.

"Three points of power!" Xu Changge said: "I will take care of the script coordination and preliminary preparation in the early stage; sister, you are responsible for the contract signing of the filming equipment, the cost accounting of the filming, and the financial review, and the producer is also on you; the formation of the film crew, the cast and crew, the execution of shooting production, post-production, and so on will be handed over to the director!"

"Me?" Xu Ru hesitated, "Can I do it?"

"It's hard work, but sister, you're definitely fine, you just need to supervise the overall work, and you can delegate specific things to the finance department of our studio...... In addition, other investors will definitely appoint personnel to come and go further, but the dominance must be on our side!" Xu Changge said seriously.

Xu Ru thought for a moment and nodded heavily: "That's okay, I'll do my best!"

In addition to the producer, another core figure of the crew is the director.

One director is crucial to a work, and the same script shot by different directors can lead to two completely different works.

The same actor, under different directors, will also have different performances.

The artistic creation of the film is centered on the director, and it can be said that the director's performance concept and understanding of the role are often more important than the actors.

Xu Changge's first choice must be Li Guoyong, the original director of this TV series.

In his previous life, he worked as both the director and producer of the TV series, and the checkered media company he founded was also the largest investor in the TV series!

Only when he directs can this TV series be restored to the greatest extent.

But now I want to invite him to direct two problems, one is that I don't know if he has a schedule, and the other is whether he can look up to his own works, these are unknowns.

In addition, the directors he has worked with before are also under his consideration.

Du Shan, who directed "Street Fight...... You can try to invite, in terms of ability, Du Shan can definitely control this TV series, but he has his own company, and Changhe Imaging has never lacked good scripts and funds, so it is a little difficult to ask him.

Ran Bing, who filmed "Sign Language", although she is not as famous as Du Shan, whether it is the rendering of the atmosphere or the presentation of long and short shots, she is very full of aura and has her uniqueness!

But it's a little regrettable that she just recently took over a similar type of "Mountains and Seas and Strange Beasts......

You must know that this TV series has achieved very good results this year!

Maybe "The Legend of Tianhe" and "The Legend of Mountains and Seas" will face off head-to-head...... It's so frustrating!

As for Lu Xinghe, the director of "Ice Blade", his works have extremely distinct personal characteristics and styles.

Heavy, heavy, real...... These are the qualities of his work.

But whether it is suitable for "The Legend of Tianhe" is a matter of the benevolent and the wise!

If he directs it, Xu Changge is a little worried that the style of "The Legend of Tianhe" will be too heavy.

Xu Changge thought for a moment and regarded him as an alternative.

In addition, there are other directors in the industry, and Xu Changge also considers them one by one.

Of course, this is only a preliminary screening, and before the director is finalized, Xu Changge still needs to have a detailed interview with the other party.

He needs to know what the director's understanding and opinion of the whole script is.

Only if his requirements are met, the final candidate for the director can be determined in the end.
