"Do you think you can try it?" Zhou Cheng asked the screenwriter, this screenwriter is also an old man in the company, and he has written a lot of scripts, but he has been gentle like water, and he has no special achievements.

The screenwriter hesitated for a moment, "You can give it a try, find a few idol stars, don't expect to be popular, and you won't lose money." ”

As long as there is small traffic and fresh meat, there will be a certain guaranteed rating.

In fact, he thinks the storyline is still very good, the commoner girl and the nobleman fall in love and kill each other... Although it is a bit old-fashioned, because there have been many love between nobles and commoners in costume dramas, some of whom eventually became dependents, and some of whom went to Huangquan together. On the contrary, in the modern context, such stories have become fewer.

"Well, you go get busy first, and I'll think about it again. Zhou Cheng nodded.

After the screenwriter left, he took out the script and glanced at it a few times, but finally couldn't help but make a phone call.

For Liu Yi.

He wanted to ask if this was what Liu Yi meant.

After a short time, after a phone call, Zhou Cheng looked at the big words "Meteor Garden" on the cover of the script and sighed:

"That's it, let's sell Yuhao a face. ”

.......

Xiangjiang, a certain mansion.

As soon as Liu Yi hung up the phone, Liu Guohao next to him handed over an inquiring look, "I heard you mention Huaying and the art world, is there something wrong with the crew?"

"Hmm. Liu Yi nodded nonchalantly.

"Hasn't the director been decided yet?" Liu Guohao said with concern, "Do you want me to transfer a director from Yuhao Entertainment?"

"What's so troublesome?" Liu Yi waved his hand, "And now it's not the director's problem, it's the script's problem." ”

"Script?"

"That's right, Liu Pian wrote a new script and wanted to replace "Best Love", and I discussed this with the boss of Huaying just now. ”

"Oh?" Liu Guohao glanced at his son suspiciously, the producer asked you for the opinion of a little star? But thinking of the Yao Wenbin incident that caused a lot of noise before, Liu Guohao also knew everything in his heart.

The fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and the power is bullying.... Hehe, my son didn't learn his own merits, but learned them.

"Then you can do it yourself, and if you have any trouble, go to Yuhao Entertainment to find your Uncle Qian. ”

Uncle Qian is the principal of Yuhao Entertainment.

"Okay. ”

"But then again, the singing is so good, why did you think of acting again?" asked Liu Guohao.

"It's fun. Liu Yi spread out his hands and laughed at himself, "Anyway, I'm also a man who has made movies, okay?

Director Xu also praised me for my good acting skills. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yi laughed again, he thought that it was the guy who tricked himself into this. At that time, I was so stupid that I could be fooled by the willow liar.

Liu Guohao didn't know about this, he only noticed the phrase "fun".

Fun?

Let's just let you play for a few more years.

"Play for fun, no matter what you think, I want you to take everything seriously. Liu Guohao earnestly taught, "Since you can get the first place in "Huaxia New Voice Generation", I also believe that you can achieve good results." ”

"Come on. Liu Yi waved his hand and said lightly, "Aren't you very clear who Liu Pian is? As for the script....."

Liu Yi shook his head and didn't say anything.

He knew that Liu Pian wrote a box office explosion "Dark War", but it was a movie, a police movie, and now it is a TV series or a youth idol drama, which are completely different fields.

Liu Yi is also not sure about this "Meteor Garden".

But....

So what?

Since the willow liar wants to play, just play with him yourself.

The outcome doesn't matter, so what about failure? Just have fun in the process.

Liu Guohao saw his son's casual appearance, and almost guessed in his heart what he was thinking.

He knew that his son didn't take "Huaxia New Voice Generation" seriously in his heart, nor did he take fame seriously. Because these are very simple for Yuhao, to become famous, Yuhao can easily make Liu Yi a big star.

It's okay if your acting skills are poor, it's okay if you can't sing skills, just be handsome. As long as Yuhao keeps throwing resources into it, any handsome guy can become a big star. It's just that relatively speaking, the consumption of resources in this way is far more than supporting a truly powerful and talented artist.

Now, Liu Yi is red, and he is still a little too popular. This is something that many people dream of, but it is only obtained by Liu Yi casually. Liu Pian provided unparalleled help, but Liu Yi didn't think there was anything to show off. He felt that it was just a friendship between Liu Liar and Liu Teddy.

For example, this time, Liu Yi tried his best to defend Xiao Min and Ning Tongtong, fight for the art world, and fight for Liu Pian.

Liu Guohao didn't know how long his son would play like this, and he didn't know how far his son and Liu Pian could go together, so he could only do his best to escort them.

.......

Kyoto Art Scene.

The studio started operating again at the tenth day of the first year, and Liu Pian also rushed back thousands of miles. School started early, about twenty years old, and now there are ten days left.

On Huaying's side, Zhou Cheng has decided to change the script and re-apply for the project. Of course, they didn't announce this to the public, and there was no more boot press conference, so it's a big deal to explain later, just say that "Best Love" has a different name.

Secondly, Wang Shan was invited by Ye Wenxuan, and after getting the script, she considered it for a long time and finally took over the job.

Today, the producer, the art world, and Wang Shansan are going to finalize this matter.

In the conference room of the art studio, Liu Pian, Zhou Cheng, and Wang Shan sat opposite each other, discussing the new drama and the division of interests.

Wang Shan is just a rookie director, who recently emerged because of "First Encounter" and "Youth Without Regrets", Zhou Cheng, as a producer, thought about it for a long time, and finally reached a cooperation with Wang Shan and gave a remuneration of 3 million.

is lower than Liu Yi's several actors.

This is the tragedy of the current TV drama directors in Huaxia, even if they are top directors, the remuneration is not as high as those top TV drama actors, and people often have tens of millions of dramas, and they shout high, even as high as hundreds of millions.

For Mao, some TV series cost so much? Because a lot of it is spent on actors.

On Liu Pian's side, Zhou Cheng looked at Liu Yi's face, gave Liu Pian, the "screenwriter", a copyright fee of 1 million, and promised to let Liu Pian shoot with the team at that time.

Secondly, Liu Pian also asked for one point, that is, to use the art industry as a third party to increase investment!

This is also the point that puzzles Zhou Cheng the most.

The total investment of "Best Love" is about 30 million, and Liu Pian's condition is to increase the investment by 20 million!

This is almost his old book, and he can't get any more.

"Mentor Liu Pian, are you so optimistic about this drama?" Zhou Cheng asked, "Twenty million, this is not a small amount." ”

By increasing investment, it is true that the risk is shared, but the benefits are also partly shared. Zhou Cheng couldn't handle this drama in the first place, but he didn't want the already small fruit to be bitten away.

Liu Pian shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhou, you can't ask me this, I am the screenwriter of this drama, what I write, if I don't even approve of myself, how can I win the support of others?"

Zhou Cheng was stunned and said with a smile: "Hehe, what Tutor Liu Pian said is true." ”

He glanced at Wang Shan again, and when he saw that people were smiling, he didn't know what to think. But he didn't want to ask Wang Shan in front of Liu Pian, the screenwriter, and after thinking about it, he said, "Mentor Liu Pian, I think the current investment of 30 million is enough, and there is no need for additional investment." ”

"Not enough. Liu Pian shook her head, "What you said was before, and now it is definitely not enough." Just the three artists in our art world, half of it was spent, and there are more than 10 million left, what are you shooting?

Mr. Zhou, you have also seen this play, there are five protagonists. Just four male protagonists need four stars to support. Now I can't afford to pay for it. ”

Zhou Cheng was speechless for a moment, invite four stars to play F4? Damn, you are too resource-intensive, Ya is not a big-name TV series, just a small youth idol drama, why invite so many stars? It's not enough to have three of you in the art world, just invite some small actors.

"Mentor Liu Pian, you're not joking, are you?" Zhou Cheng said, "This is just a small-cost drama, you have to go through so much trouble to invite so many stars, the resources overlap, it is completely unnecessary waste, we can just use some small actors, now there are many new generation actors in China, their acting skills are good, and their value is not high." ”

"The little actor will use it, but the protagonist must have one who can play the scene. Liu Yi They made their debut as singers, and they just entered the film and television industry, and they couldn't hold back the scene, so they wanted to find a star in the film and television industry. Liu Pian said. Star TV series are different from online dramas, you can do without stars in online dramas, but star TV series definitely need stars. The cost of online dramas is low, and the cost of star TV dramas is high, when the TV station acquires TV series, it must consider whether you have a big star in the drama, which is a key element in determining the ratings. Online dramas don't need ratings, just put them anywhere, watch them if you want, and you can fast forward. An episode of a TV series is an episode, but there is no such thing as retreating, so ratings are so important.

Hearing this, Zhou Cheng frowned. To put it nicely, it costs money to hire someone.

Seeing that Zhou Cheng was still hesitant, Liu Pian finally threw out a killer idea:

"Mr. Zhou, what do you think of Ye Wenxuan?"
