Chapter 413, workplace drama
After starting a family, you have to support your family, and you have to make money to support your family! The cunning comrade Boya ran out of his home for such a justifiable reason, and before 8 o'clock, he called Wen Xi and Haizi to go to the company for a meeting.
"Say, what kind of scene are we going to shoot next?" Boya won the first stop, the success of "President" made Boya walk for a long time, and this time he is about to start filming, Comrade Boya is a little proud.
"It should mean what kind of drama we can film. Wen Xi shook his head, the three of them still have to rely on the team of Haizi's family to start work, and the script has to be written by themselves, so they can shoot whatever they want.
"Last time, we filmed an idol drama to practice, this time we changed to a more advanced type, how about a workplace drama? Haizi yawned with an oily face. Last year's script can still be said to be used for practice, and the second script must not use idol dramas to fool his old man, at least he won't be beaten if he is replaced with a workplace drama, and it doesn't hurt to be scolded or anything, it doesn't matter.
"This can be there. "Wen Xi voted in favor, if the workplace drama is filmed well, it is easy to win awards, not to mention, it is much easier to invite actors.
"Then what kind of profession are we filming? Sanitation workers? Sanitation workers are very hard in the summer. "Boya picked up Erlang's legs, do you want to direct and act by himself?
"Delivery people, do you remember those omnipotent delivery people on the Internet? can stir-fry, play games, and write code, it's not too cool!" Haizi's eyes sparkled, as if he saw the scene of himself riding an electric car to fly the wall to deliver takeaways.
"So one of you wants to make a documentary, and the other wants to make an urban fantasy drama?" Wen Xi sneered, just thinking that Haizi had become sensible recently, and this began to make a moth!
"Ahem, I've almost finished the outline, and the central idea is inspirational, positive, and a sense of substitution. "Haizi sit up straight, if he writes a book for a delivery man, he may be expelled from the old man!
"Let's shoot an office boss, set the protagonist to be a high-achieving student who graduated from a prestigious university, applied for a job to enter the world's top 500 companies, and wanted to show his skills but could only serve tea and water to his predecessors. Then, through continuous learning and hard work, the story of forging ahead in the face of setbacks and eventually becoming a winner in life. Wen Xi remembered the workplace dramas he watched in his previous life, and the ending must be a comedy, otherwise who will watch the TV series that tortures people to death?
"I'm okay to listen to. Boya nodded in agreement, he is also a person who grew up watching HK's workplace dramas, and he knows the routines of workplace dramas best, and Wen Xi is obviously more knowledgeable than Haizi.
"Ahem, if I just say that, I definitely won't write like that. Since everyone has no opinion on this topic, then I went home and looked for the script, I remember that the old man seemed to have written a book on this when he was young. Haizi ran home in a gray way, and in the afternoon he brought a toddler with a toddler drawing book with turtles and birds.
Wen Xi took the notebook, looked at the content of the script with difficulty through the crooked children's painting, and put down the script for half an hour.
"How is it?" Haizi was a little nervous, he lied to the old man that he had written a historical drama, and the level of their studio couldn't keep up, so he could only use the old man's workplace drama to exercise and exercise!
"It works!" Wen Xi smiled, the famous screenwriter Hai Bo has a big book, logic and common sense don't have to say, they don't even need to change the time, just use it!
"This is good!" Boya slapped the table excitedly, and the three of them contacted all walks of life in a hurry, waiting for the casting director to find a suitable actor to start filming!
A good script depends on good actors to interpret it, and not long after the studio released the news, many young artists signed up for the audition, but Boya had a headache when he saw the list. The male supporting actor is not worried, and the protagonist who can take the lead cannot be selected!
"Xixi, do you want to be the protagonist?" Boya and Haizi looked at Wen Xi, who was contacting the chef team and the filming location, Wen Xi's acting skills are recognized as reliable!
"So how much budget do we have?" Wen Xi pointed to the budget book, a large part of the expenditure on workplace dramas is on props, and the budget of "Lao Mo" is millions more than that of "President"! The cost of costumes and props in the script of "President" is almost negligible, but "Lao Mo" is not good, and the props and venue fees must account for at least more than 40% of the budget!
"Isn't the budget in your hands?" Haizi didn't understand.
"Wen Xi, what was your salary last year?"
The state also clearly stipulates that actors' salaries cannot be inflated or deliberately lowered to engage in vicious competition. In addition to guest actors, the remuneration of actors with a position must be paid in accordance with the rules and regulations and the level of the actor, Wen Xi is a first-class actor, and the salary must be settled according to the second class. But the problem is that Wen Xi has never made a TV series so far, his salary is settled according to the movie, and film actors who have won international and domestic film festival awards or nominations to participate in TV series have a salary bonus! If Wen Xi comes to shoot a TV series, the salary has to rise by 20% on the basic price!
"I remember it seems to be more than 10 million? I'll go, you have to take a quarter of our budget for acting in a TV series!" Hai Zi hugged his head against the wall, he thought he could save some money!
"I think you seem to have made a TV series, and the price of the movie is not high. Wen Xi stared at Haizi all the time, Haizi has a second-level actor qualification certificate, and if he doesn't make historical dramas, it is okay for second-level actors to play the leading role in workplace dramas, and Haizi's acting skills are clear to him and Boya. The most important thing is that Haizi is still a second-level actor, and he can also get a 20% discount on his salary, which is cost-effective!
"Yes, I almost forgot that you are also an actor!" "Bo Yale, all three of them are actors, Haizi is just a hobby to be an actor, he actually forgot about this stubble!
"Hehe, you guys really make the best use of everything!" Haizi sullenly filled in his name on the cast list, his girlfriend went to other crews to film, he is now both a screenwriter and a protagonist, I am afraid that we will not be able to meet for a long time...... Uncomfortable!
"At the audition, you play for them, and if you feel okay, you sign it, we can't ask for so much. Boya flipped through the registration form back and forth, he saw several good actors, and he would definitely be able to make a little difference if he trained them, and if there was a need for them in the next drama, he would definitely have to add a little incense.
In this way, Boya and Haizi followed the casting director and assistant director to host the audition meeting, and it only took two days to set the list of main actors and sign the contract smoothly;
