Chapter 086: Budget, Idol Drama

The film fund is still just a prototype, and the specific details still need to be discussed and discussed, so Li Xiang is just here to explore the atmosphere and see the attitude of the academy.

After chatting with Mr. Wang for a while, Li Xiang returned to the studio, and the preliminary preparations for "The Invisible Guest" had begun.

First of all, you need to set a budget, Duan Yihong's salary is less than 10 million in 17 years, although Lao Liu has not discussed it with Lao Duan's agent Sister Li, but Dingtian is only at this price.

Yang Mi's 5 million can be said to be Li Xiang to take care of his family, don't look at Da Mimi's popularity now, but it is also similar to the popularity of "Palace Lock Heart Jade" in the previous life, what was Da Mimi's salary at that time?

The entire movie of "Far Cry" only costs 5 million, and even if Yang Mi gets a share of the box office, she will definitely not get 5 million, so the price Li wants to give is already very personal.

And the two teachers Jin and Liu add up to less than 2 million, plus the salaries of the actors and behind-the-scenes staff, the total salary budget is less than 20 million.

Li Xiang has never received a fixed salary since "Happy Death Day", because they are all works of his own studio, Li Xiang gets a box office share, and this time it is the same as the gunman or 10%.

The guest is a feature film, which involves a total of four shooting locations, and there is no need for special effects or anything, so the budget for the whole movie does not exceed 40 million, but this is also the highest-budget film that Li thought of so far.

"Okay, don't be sad, the budget for this movie is not too high, besides, didn't I help the studio earn more than 100 million!" Li Xiang looked at Lao Liu's facial features on his Chinese face and complained.

"Am I worried about this movie, I'm worried about the "Hunger Games" you said! What do you think? Come up and play like this for 80 million US dollars?" After making trouble for a long time, Lao Liu was not worried about the guests at all.

"It's not all of us, I've fooled the big boss Wang to pay 30 million, as long as Wanda also has some blood, the rest of our studio can handle it!" Li Xiang said indifferently.

"You'd better fool Wanda into paying 30 million, so that we can contribute 20 million ourselves, neither hurting our muscles nor moving our bones!" Lao Liu counted the budget with his fingers, and he found that with 20 million US dollars, flying was still acceptable.

"That's right, I'll just flicker according to 30 million!" Li Xiang patted his chest and played the package ticket.

"Xiangzi, tell me the truth, are you sure about "The Hunger Games"?" Lao Liu was still not very optimistic about Li Xiang's plan this time.

"I can only say that I try my best, and I really can't guarantee the rest!" Li Xiang himself didn't know whether the audience of his version of "The Hunger Games" would buy it.

"Alas, forget it, it's okay to spend money to buy your heart, if we don't understand it in North America, at least I can rest assured that you kid in China. Lao Liu's words made Li Xiang roll his eyes, and this generous face didn't know how to say something happy.

"I said I want to write a TV series, can we write a few more episodes? You only have 10 episodes, if it weren't for the good ratings of "Quartet", Mango wouldn't have introduced it again if he said anything this time!" After talking about the preparation of the movie, Lao Liu complained about the new TV series written by Li Xiang.

"I won't write long, and besides, it's already very low that I can write this kind of idol drama, okay? Don't ask for it so high!" Li Xiang definitely couldn't tell Lao Liu, because he hadn't watched a few TV series at all in his previous life, and the only thing he had watched was a few Japanese dramas and American dramas, and there were only more than ten episodes.

was also forced by Lao Liu, Li Xiang meditated for a while, and finally remembered that he had watched a few Japanese dramas, American dramas are very good-looking but really not suitable for China, so these Japanese dramas have become the only ones he can use.

What he prepared for Xiaoxiao and Kan Qingzi was a winter drama in 09, called "My Handsome Butler".

In his previous life, he only watched this drama when he was 12 years old, because he was a fan of Oguri Shun, and that year coincided with Oguri Shun getting married, and his wife Yamada Yu was one of the actors in this drama, so Li Xiang would find out this drama and take a look.

Anyway, Li Xiang doesn't like this kind of TV series very much, but he believes that girls should like it, especially girls are must-see dramas, this drama can satisfy the feelings of thousands of young girls and the beautiful YY surrounded by handsome guys.

So Li Xiang endured the strong discomfort, but still wrote the general script framework of this drama, and filled in the specific details, and Yu Ma's people would naturally do it.

Yes, this is a TV series cooperated by three companies, Feixiang has a script and three actors (Lou Yixiao, Kan Qingzi, Chen Xiao), Yu Ma Studio is responsible for producing and supplementing the remaining actors, and the other investor is Mango Satellite TV.

Li Xiang and Mango have a very good relationship, but every time a new movie is released, they must go to Mango's variety show platform, and Mango also reciprocated with peach, setting a precedent for Li Xiang to broadcast weekly dramas.

"Forget it, forget it, I can also see that your kid is not interested in the TV series, you should concentrate on making movies in the future!" Lao Liu also knew that Li Xiang gave himself a face, and the housekeeper's script looked good, and even made him wonder if Li Xiang was bent for a while.

"Don't write my name as a TV drama screenwriter, I just gave a framework, and the specific insider is made by someone who is a mother!" This product is actually afraid that he will be laughed at by others, but in fact, it is hypocritical, and he wants to be an X son and want to set up a memorial arch.

"That's not good! Without your name, the ratings of this TV series will be reduced by at least one-third!" Just kidding, how famous is Li Xiang's screenwriter? Yu Ma and Mango are not stupid, and they don't use ready-made resources.

"Ahh Okay!" Li Xiang also found that his thoughts were a little naïve, and he was relieved, at least this drama is stronger than Mango's "Let's Go to See a Meteor Shower" next year.

To tell the truth, although the meteor shower is very thunderous, it still carries the memories of many people's youth, who did something stupid when they were young, and it is good to hide it silently in their hearts, why bother to say it? Li Xiang, as a person who has not been poisoned, a feeling of superiority of a dog arises spontaneously, in fact, this is not true! (sorry I laughed out loud)

···

Time has come to November 7th, the solar term is beginning of winter, and the weather is gradually getting colder, especially the first snow has been ushered in in the northeast.

Li Xiang took his second sister and Xiao Maruko to the foot of Jigaoguan Bai Mountain, where there is a famous ski resort - Changbai Mountain Peace Ski Resort.

Don't get me wrong, the purpose of their trip is not just to come on vacation, but also to inspect the filming location for "The Invisible Guest".

Before leaving, Li Xiang was also looking for a favorite shooting location, so he mentioned it to his father, but he didn't expect Dad Li to give a good suggestion, that is, to come here.

Because Wanda has a resort here, hotels, ice-free lakes, mountain roads, and ski resorts are all the same, which perfectly meets Li Xiang's requirements.
