Night.

The air conditioning in the house was on sufficiently.

Jiang Lun finally finished sorting out the script of the first ten episodes, held it in his hand, and looked at it repeatedly, as if he saw the banknotes in the sky falling like rain.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and he laughed at himself: "You are too vulgar!"

Just as he was intoxicated, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.

Picking up the phone, Jiang Lun picked it up with a smile, "It's so late, don't you sleep yet?"

"I can't sleep in the heat, what are you doing?"

On the other end, it was Chen Yingying's voice.

"Write the script!"

Jiang Lun said casually, and he regretted it after speaking, and it was estimated that Chen Yingying would definitely be caught and questioned.

"What? script?"

Chen Yingying really thought the same as he thought, "What script do you write, why do you write that thing?"

"It's nothing, I'm going to shoot a web drama!"

Jiang Lun smiled and said, "This is just the preparation stage!"

"Filming an online drama?" Chen Yingying suddenly became interested, "What theme? urban love, fantasy fairy, or that kind of suspense theme?"

"Neither!" Jiang Lun said with a smile, "It's a costume light comedy!"

"Costume light comedy?" Chen Yingying was stunned and pouted, "What's there to shoot then?"

"Huh, how can you say that?" Jiang Lun said strangely, "You haven't even read the script, how can you deny it?"

"I just think! You should trust a woman's instincts!"

Chen Yingying said seriously, "You look at the online dramas that people are filming now, "The Sweet President of the Big White Leg School Flower", "The Little Fairy and the Second Prince", and the one that has been very popular recently, "Ghost Detective", haven't you watched it?"

"Why didn't you see it!" Jiang Lun smiled bitterly. "I don't want to watch the title of the film!"

"You! This thought is a mistake!"

Chen Yingying educated, "Since you want to shoot online dramas, you have to find the right taste for young people to shoot according to the tone of the current online dramas, you can't take it for granted!"

"Uh......" Jiang Lun was really speechless, yes. Whether a drama is good or not, the audience has the final say, he can't represent everyone, not even a small part, he can only represent himself.

But he is still confident that after all, this "Wulin Gaiden" has been tested in the market in another world, and if it is filmed, it will definitely not be bad.

It's the same as a song, if everyone appreciates the level of difference. Then the songs he took out will definitely not have the results like today.

So he firmly believes that everyone's level of appreciation is about the same, at least he himself, as an audience in this world, is still very attracted to watching "Wulin Gaiden".

The next morning.

Jiang Lun first went to find Cai Fei and Wang Qilin, and then took them to Zhao Rong's rented studio.

According to the address, the three got off in front of an office building in the East Fourth Ring Road, and then took the elevator to the 28th floor.

As soon as you get out of the elevator door. It was found that the entire floor was divided into more than a dozen, and there was a sign directly opposite the elevator. Some of them have been labeled with the name of the company, and some are still empty, probably not rented out.

Jiang Lun called Zhao Rong, and after a while, he appeared in front of the three of them.

"Aaron!"

Zhao Rongding had dark circles under his eyes, but his eyes were not tired at all, and the uplifting spirit had not subsided.

"These are my two buddies!"

Jiang Lun introduced Cai Fei and Wang Qilin.

"Director Zhao. Hello!" the two immediately stepped forward and shook hands with Zhao Rong respectively.

"Just call me Lao Zhao!" Zhao Rong smiled, "Let's go in and talk! There are a lot of companies upstairs, and people come and go!"

The four of them went together, and the newly rented studio was empty. The glass windows were also covered with signs of wind and rain, but the floor was clearly mopped, and there were buckets and mops in the corners.

Jiang Lun couldn't help but ask Zhao Rong, "You cleaned it?"

"Hmm!" Zhao Rong nodded, "It's all a trivial matter, I'll find someone to wipe the exterior windows of the tall building, and let them wipe the outside glass, so that they look more energetic!"

"Okay, if you want to buy something, let's do it now!"

"Then let's go our separate ways!" Zhao Rong took out a list and handed it to Jiang Lun, "Let's work in pairs, go separately, you go to buy office use, I'll apply for a license, pay the rent, contact the decoration workers, and come over to see the environmental design!"

Although the studio needs to go to the industrial and commercial registration, it is not as restricted as a film and television company, and all the procedures are free of charge.

Although Jiang Lun's thing to do seems troublesome, it is actually spending money.

No one said anything about him opening a studio, not even Mai Le and Wu Chaoyang.

And from having this decision to really starting to invest step by step, it was only three days, which seemed very hasty, but for Jiang Lun, it seemed a little logical.

At the end of the day, the originally empty room has changed its appearance.

There are six desks, computers are also sent, and there are a lot of cardboard boxes on the ground, but fortunately, this space is large, and the original 180 square meters are actually connected to the balcony with a public area.

"Let's settle the score!"

At seven o'clock in the evening, the four of them met, found an open space and sat on the ground.

Zhao Rong asked, "How much did it cost to buy these pieces of furniture today?"

"Including tables, chairs, benches, and computers, it cost a total of 60,000 yuan!" Jiang Lun took out the ticket.

"Hmm!" Zhao Rong recorded with a notebook, "The license will be available next Monday, the decoration team has already negotiated the decoration plan, and the building materials supplier has paid a deposit of 5,000 yuan in advance, and the building materials will be sent over tomorrow to start decoration!"

"I'm going to go out again next week, and it's all up to you to decorate these things!"

Jiang Lun said, "I wrote the script for ten episodes first, try to rush at home these days, find investment immediately after writing, and after investing, we can start filming!"

"You're starting to write?"

Zhao Rong was surprised, "How many episodes do you plan to write?"

"I don't know yet, let's get it out and talk about it!"

Jiang Lun coughed lightly, he didn't dare to tell the real number.

"I also contacted a few friends last night, and they also have a few scripts on hand, I'll take a look at them then, but if you can write it, let's use our own, after all, you have to pay for them first!"

Zhao Rong jokingly said, although friends can owe it first, and wait until they get the investment, but Zhao Rong doesn't like to owe others, if you want to use your book, you have to negotiate the price with you first and settle it.

After a few more idle words, the four of them went home.

After Jiang Lun arrived home, he buried his head in the struggle again until two o'clock in the morning at night, and he couldn't support it anymore, so he climbed into bed and went to bed.

In the next few days, Jiang Lun didn't go to the studio again, Zhao Rong watched the decoration, he was very relieved, he went all out to catch up with the manuscript at home, these days, he not only wrote, but also watched the original drama of "Wulin Gaiden" several times and pondered deeply.

Especially the background soundtrack, this can't be like a song, just learn to sing, he just listens to the score repeatedly, and it feels like going back to school.

Since he wants to move, he will move it comprehensively, and he will not be able to do it.

Finally, on Monday morning, all the scripts came out, and Jiang Lun took this "magnificent masterpiece...... Ahem, the script of a low-cost sitcom came to Liu Xiahui's office.

When Liu Xiahui understood Jiang Lun's intentions, he took over the script.

Like Wang Kai's expression, he frowned first, then relaxed, and even couldn't help laughing out loud in some places.

And when he watched it, he couldn't raise his head anymore, so he asked Jiang Lun to sit opposite him for half an hour, and then he sent the script and flipped the back.

"So many? eighty episodes?"

Liu Xiahui was surprised, "This is the script you wrote?"

"Hmm!" Jiang Lun nodded, "Is it worth investing in this drama?"

"Hiss......" Liu Xiahui took a breath, he knew the cost of this sitcom, but if it was twenty or thirty episodes, he would vote without hesitation, even if he didn't rush to Jiang Lun, he could watch it so happily just by reading the script, he had to vote.

But for the production of eighty episodes, you have to think about it.

"How much investment do you plan to invest in this drama?"

Liu Xiahui is a veteran at the negotiation table, and he has also done a lot of dramas with small investment and big returns, such as "Fallen Beauty", the investment is not much, and the advertising fee that can be sold is three times the investment capital.

Jiang Lun took out this script, although he said that he was not 100% sure that it would be popular, but he also saw the money scene, businessmen, isn't playing movies and television all for money?

Bad movies can still set up millions, not to mention the very interesting "Wulin Gaiden".

"I roughly estimate that the investment of 250,000 yuan per episode of this drama should be enough!" Jiang Lun's set of data is actually a reference to the input cost of "Wulin Gaiden" in another world.

According to the filmmaker's statement in the early stage, it is 250,000 episodes, regardless of whether this data is true or not, it is true, and it also includes production costs, remuneration for writing, directing, acting, post-distribution and publicity hype, etc., as well as project development costs for peripheral series such as online games, page games, card games, etc., and here, Jiang Lun and Zhao Rong can not have money in advance, and those peripherals can also be put away.

And he also saw a set of data, Ning Caishen, the screenwriter of "Wulin Gaiden", later wrote a "Dragon Gate Dart Bureau", he said that the investment of "Dragon Gate Dart Bureau" is 50 million, which is five times that of "Wulin Gaiden", if calculated according to this ratio, in fact, the cost of an episode of "Wulin Gaiden" may be 1230,000, and the total investment is not even 10 million.

The reason why Jiang Lun dared to ask for 20 million was that he still wanted to spend more on the scene, and the salary of the actors in Fuhuadao could be more relaxed.

"Twenty million?"

Liu Xiahui glared, making a movie about the same, and the price was enough, and said decisively, "I'll give you five million, you can choose to shoot twenty episodes to test the water first, or you can choose to find someone else to follow, anyway, that's all I can vote for, and take care of your face, I'll take care of the distribution, you have determined the plan, come and sign the contract with me!"
