Chapter 569: Background
Xu Qing agreed to Jiang Ziyun's initial cooperation intention, and when Jiang Ziyun was busy with other things, Xu Qing also quickly began to make some money here, so that he could be busy with the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and the initial investment of "Tomb Robbery Notes: Seven Star Lu Palace".
Jiang Ziyun had already started preliminary preparations at this time, but the contract with Xu Qing and others had not been signed, and it was difficult for her to publicize this matter everywhere.
What if it is known by others and comes up with a higher price to get the first place? If Ziyun Co., Ltd. has already made a promotion in advance, wouldn't it be very entangled in this situation?
So it wasn't until the contract was officially signed that Jiang Ziyun began to build momentum through some of his own channels.
The choice of actors, in fact, is also in the same period.
In terms of time, it will definitely not be able to catch up with the Chinese New Year. Besides, the theme of tomb robbery is not necessarily suitable for the Chinese New Year.
So before, Jiang Ziyun had already decided to wait until the New Year to shoot.
Because the news came out too late, and there were too many other things to pay attention to during the Chinese New Year. In fact, even Wang Zun has accepted the contract, and he is not particularly clear about many specific situations.
Of course, he knew that Ziyun Film and Television Co., Ltd. was responsible for the formation of the crew, and of course Wang Zun knew the scale of Ziyun Film and Television Co., Ltd.
But Wang Zun also knows that the filming of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" should be indispensable.
Wang Zun is not difficult to be regarded as a fan of "Notes on Tomb Robbery", otherwise he would not be able to recognize Xu Qinglai.
To put it simply, people have a life. Even if there is a little time, those domestic and foreign classics that are useful for improving his acting skills are enough for him to be busy. How can I have time to listen to any radio program, or read a novel?
If you have time to read novels, you might as well read a few scripts. Or take a look at some of the masterpieces that have an effect on improving your acting skills. Why is "Actor's Self-cultivation" still having to watch him dozens of times?
So during the time when "Notes on Tomb Robbery" was popular, Wang Zun didn't pay much attention to the situation here at all. Wait until it is said that it is a movie adaptation of "Tomb Robbery Notes", and there is a main character in it that suits you very well. After such news came, Wang Zun roughly checked the situation of "Notes on Tomb Robbery".
Knowing that "Tomb Robbery Notes" is the second most popular tomb robbery theme work now, and "Tomb Robbery Notes: Seven Star Lu Palace" should be the first tomb robbery movie to be put on the big screen, which is enough. Even the specific content of the tomb robbery notes, Wang Zun didn't bother to go through them carefully.
But based on these other sources, Wang Zun was already able to make a lot of speculations.
Tomb robbery, exploration, this always has to use a lot of special effects, right? Especially the gimmick of the first tomb robbery movie, eighty percent is a very daring situation.
In this way, the investment in this movie should be indispensable, right? It is said that Wu Xie's role was filmed by Yang Zixun, a second-tier actor who is more popular than me. Yang Zixun's salary is almost 2.3 million, and my male number 3 is 1.5 million yuan. In other words, just three actors are an investment of five million or six million.
The total investment of the entire crew must not be too small, right?
There is a saying that foreign countries spend money on special effects, and domestic money on sissies.
Now when you go to watch a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, the remuneration of domestic actors occupies a very high proportion.
But in the final analysis, the crew of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is actually not so high. Strictly speaking, Yang Zixun can actually be regarded as a trick sissy type. If you count Lu Ziping, the image is actually enough.
But in the final analysis, the price of the sissies in the second-tier actors is inferior to the sissies in the first-line and even the top actors.
For a crew of this level, good steel is still spent on the blade. Generally speaking, the proportion of actors' salaries should not be too high.
The scale of Ziyun Film and Television Co., Ltd. is not large, but Wang Zun deduced that eighty percent of them found other investors who didn't care about anything, so they dared to lead other peers and first test the waters with the theme of tomb robbery.
You can label such a movie as an adventure, but after all, there are some settings that can be approached to superstitious themes. If people review it, if they have to use the reason of "promoting mystery and tomb robbery" to get you, you really don't have to pass it so easily.
So when Wang Zun was before, he actually guessed that the investment in actors' salaries was so large. Counting the investment in special effects, there is also the investment that needs to be made to open up the relationship between all aspects. The investment amount of this "Tomb Robbery Notes: Seven Star Lu King" will not be less than twenty or thirty million, right?
Because he couldn't determine the specific situation, Wang Zun came to the place to familiarize himself with it.
The filming of Wang Zun's own scenes will have to wait until he goes down to the tomb. But in the early stage, other departments have quickly begun to get busy.
First of all, in addition to him Wang Tong and Yang Zixun who played the leading role, the second male lead is actually a newcomer. Wang Tong checked on the Internet and also found Lu Ziping's information.
But at the end of the day, the qualifications are simply scary. What kind of substitute host of a local TV station has been before, relying on an excellent sketch to make a splash?
A local station's sketches, such a platform, no matter how good the sketches are, how popular can they be?!
Wang Zun didn't bother to watch Lu Ziping's sketches at all, and directly concluded that Lu Ziping came in through a relationship.
If he really wants to have a chance, Wang Zun actually wants to entrust his relationship to a first-line crew and play a role such as male number two and male number three. In fact, it is to spend some money, and Wang Zun is also willing.
And as soon as he debuted in his first work, he was directly the second male lead, and I Wang Zun has been mixed up for so many years, and I finally got out and became famous, but I took a movie, and the ranking couldn't even compare with a pure newcomer.
After knowing this, Wang Zun couldn't help but be angry.
But after a pause, Wang Zun still endured. At this time, he had already guessed that "Notes on Tomb Robbery" had an anonymous investor with a lot of financial resources.
Lu Ziping's popularity or something, the crew will not know about these conditions here, but they still gave Lu Ziping a role of male number two. Wang Zun hesitated for a moment and guessed that it was very likely that the investor was strongly demanding this condition here, and Jiang Ziyun needed other people's investment, so he made such a compromise.
Therefore, Wang Zun subconsciously thought that Lu Ziping was also a situation with a very good background.
