Chapter 279: Exaggerated Budget
……
"It's not difficult to shoot a TV series. ”
When Miao Yingsong was talking about business, his face was very much like a second ancestor who was waiting for death, knocking on Erlang's legs, shaking the flesh on his face, his posture was high, and he was very stinky, "The difficulty is to make money, capital is profit-seeking, your script is really good, really good, I don't have the patience to weigh every word, but I spent a meal and read it." ”
Cao Yifang has not realized the liberation of his temper recently, as his acting career has become smoother and smoother, his popularity has exploded, and there are polite smiling faces everywhere.
It's not about expansion, but his character is gradually letting go, so he seems more and more reckless. Therefore, when encountering a big-name actor like Qiu Pi, he will put the unhappiness in his heart on his face, and even say it directly.
Miao Yingsong gave him a slightly better feeling, but it was also limited, because Miao Yingsong himself was a rich second generation with a solid background, and now his company was also a little successful, so he naturally didn't have to be too polite to Cao Fang, but the basic politeness of this product was also a little lacking, and the appearance of scolding Fang Fang at the moment also made Cao Fang feel a little offended.
Fortunately, his temper is not so big at the moment, and his desire for whether his script can be filmed on the ground made him resist the desire to leave.
He didn't think it was talking about business, just idle talk, "If the script is good, why is no one willing to invest?"
"Ha, the script is good for a bird?"
Miao Yingsong laughed at his ignorance, and said with a grin: "The TV stations on the stars receive films, and they all have fixed cooperative companies, and those large companies set up projects to make films, and they all have senior gold medal screenwriters with fixed cooperation, among which various connections, interests are bundled, and they are very responsible." Besides, are you a screenwriter? Do you have the qualifications? Who are you? Of course people won't buy your scripts. ”
Cao Fang pondered for a moment: "I'm Cao Fang." ”
"Yes, your name is really loud now, but your fame comes from being an actor, you are still not a screenwriter, and you have not had any successful works. ”
Miao Yingsong said with a smile: "To be honest, there are not many screenwriters in China who were born as actors, and few who write scripts part-time can write well." ”
Cao Fang thought for a while, frowned, and said, "There are still some." He remembered that his friend Lu Jingzhen had now entered the studio of a young director, who was born as an actor and had already directed and written several works, and the box office was actually good.
With his superficial understanding of today's entertainment industry, he has reported several well-known names.
Miao Yingsong didn't finish listening, and stretched out his hand to signal him not to speak: "I know what you said, they may have a certain ability to modify the script, but the creative ability does not exist." All of their works on the market were ghostwritten by other screenwriters, and their names were signed at the end. ”
Cao Fang knows a little about this situation, domestic screenwriters have no human rights, many people choose to be attached to the big director or big screenwriter, give up their right to authorship, and seek a stable income by themselves, and the big director and the big screenwriter have expensive time, so naturally they don't have time to create it by themselves, and directly engage in the doctrine of taking, modify it intentionally, and let others do it for others if they don't have the intention, and finally sign their own name, take what they need, and everything will be fine.
Cao Fangfang could only say: "It's not all." ”
Miao Yingsong smiled: "It's basically all, there may be fish that slipped through the net, that is really the probability of a clean official in a position of real power, and it is not as likely as the Mark Six lottery." ”
Regarding the issue of script creation, Cao Yifang and Wu Yu have also talked about it, but Wu Yu is relatively pure director and cannot be regarded as a producer, these problems are of course Miao Yingsong has more right to speak.
Hearing him say this, Cao Fangfang said helplessly: "Those grassroots screenwriters, who wrote a good script and smashed their hands?"
"If you're lucky, sell it to a big screenwriter, and take a little money to talk about yourself, isn't it lucky......" Miao Yingsong nodded decisively: "Smash your hands." ”
"Oh, I probably know. Being hit by such a blow, Cao Fangfang's mood became even more dull: "That is, no matter how much I write, it's useless, and I can't sell it at all." ”
"That's the benefit of your fame. Miao Yingsong narrowed his eyes: "Rely on connections, you are famous, you know many insiders, there are always people who will give you a few thin noodles and throw some money for you to try your hand." ”
Cao Fang heard a glimmer of hope, and he knew that Miao Yingsong would never ask him out, just to tell himself that there was no drama.
That way, the fat man is easy to beat.
Looking at Cao Fang's gradually gentle eyes, Miao Fatzi suddenly felt like a savior, and his chest rose a little: "By the way, my company can invest in this drama." ”
Cao Fangfang felt a little relieved, but then realized that he was not familiar with this professional issue: "Then I should let my agent talk to you, I have a ...... about this."
"Hey, we're not there yet, let's talk casually now and strengthen our relationship. Miao Yingsong smiled obscenely.
Here is the evil consequences of getting fat, he may want to smile slyly, or laugh kindly, but because the face is too greasy, the effect presented ends up being a lewd smile.
Cao Fang was a little confused at this moment, his skill points were not in business, and he didn't know what to take, so he could only ask the most straightforward question: "Uh, then how much money are you going to spend on this script?"
"It doesn't matter how much money you buy, even if it's to make you a friend, what if I throw five million to you?" It doesn't matter......" Miao Yingsong stretched out his hand to support the fat on his cheeks, and looked at him with interest: "The important thing is that I am also a small capitalist, and I have to make a profit." ”
Cao Fang didn't know what the way this product was, so he habitually touched his earlobe, "I think...... In the current TV drama market, good dramas must be able to make you money. ”
"Naive, right. Miao Yingsong sighed twice and retorted lightly: "If it's so simple, why are few people willing to make a good drama? Do you think you can't shoot it for everyone? China's 1.4 billion people can't pick out talents? Soundtrack aside, there are really no masters in the domestic music industry, but in addition, what do we want from actors, screenwriters, and post-editing!
Cao Fang didn't have the patience to go around in circles: "I know that publicity and selling points are very important, but that's not my business, I'm only responsible for writing the script." ”
Miao Yingsong added: "You still have to play the leading role. ”
"Of course. Cao Fangfang showed a smile at this time: "If you invite me, of course I am willing." ”
"That's easy to say. Miao Yingsong showed the true colors of a businessman: "You are responsible for traffic, but it's not enough, three male protagonists, I will invite two more little fresh meat with little reputation, seventeen or eighteen years old, popular but there are no works yet, for your sake, they will definitely be willing to reduce the price to act, when the time comes, I will say to the outside world, you reduce your salary, for example, you only need three million, so I will better lower the price." ”
When Cao Fang heard the age of the other two male protagonists, he frowned, and before he could speak, the fat man continued to spit.
"In fact, the salary is aggravated, I can give you 10 million, anyway, don't tell the public...... Even if you add the popularity bonuses of your Condor and Dragon Gate at that time, this price is high enough. ”
"When the time comes, you can run a few more variety shows to do publicity, accompany Xiaobai to fry CP, and I will find someone to help you make some news casually, so as to ensure that you are a hot spot every day. ”
Cao Fang couldn't help but want to interject: "But ......"
Miao Yingsong didn't give him a chance, it seems that he has been thinking about this script for a long time, and he has all the ideas: "Your salary is high, others have to lower it a little, the heroine gives Xiaobai, her own people, you have to give it a hand, she is quite suitable for this kind of White Lotus role, the second female is looking for that...... That beauty that comes once in 5,000 years, Nanhu Satellite TV has won the newcomer, the hype is great, and the selling point is enough, although her commercial performance value is not low, but now she wants to be an acting star, she always has to film, the first drama will cooperate with you Cao Yifang, and I am willing to press her to the point that she is only two million. ”
Cao Fangfang's head was about to explode when he heard this, swallowed his stomach full of grooves, and only asked: "According to what you say, the proportion of actors' salaries is not high, how much do you plan to share in the production costs of scene props and other post-production?"
"Eight million or less. Miao Yingsong didn't even think about it: "The salary is controlled within 18 million, and the publicity fee is 15 million ......."
"Are you kidding me?" Cao Fang was incredulous: "The money is all spent on salary and publicity, in 2018, with such a low production cost, what bad drama can be made?!"
