Chapter 775: Everything is ready, the east wind has arrived

There are no impermeable walls or lakes in the world. What happened inside Southern Satellite TV quickly reached Lin Han's ears, because Han Feiguang personally called him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Now that the director has been confirmed, we have preliminarily selected a few actors, do you have any actors to recommend?"

Han Feiguang's meaning is very clear, this is to ask if he wants to let his favorite actors or familiar actors play important roles in it.

This is a common thing in the entertainment industry, many characters do not choose the most suitable person at the beginning, but choose the most relevant, followed by the most profitable, and the rest are the rest of the ordinary actors!

That's the unspoken rule.

However, Lin Han said: "I won't interfere too much in the actors, but there is only one requirement, the acting skills must be passed." Interested households can come in, but they must be acting schools, and they must be obedient, without any! ”

"Lost" is Lin Han's first foray into the field of TV dramas, only success, not failure!

"This is also our standard all along, based on acting skills, not to measure an actor by popularity. Are you sure you can't make it to the audition? ”

Central Plains Film and Television can stand out among the many domestic bad dramas, and is praised by netizens as the conscience of national dramas, and they themselves must know the twists and turns.

After all, actors are in the service of TV dramas, and they should not dominate and let TV series revolve around actors!

There are so many bad TV series now, one reason is that the ability of screenwriters has declined, and the other actor is that investors like to choose actors who are popular and have a lot of discussion, regardless of whether they are suitable or not.

Sometimes a good script, because of the requirements of Xiao Xianrou or the new generation of Xiaohuadan, has been repeatedly revised to the book that can best give full play to their appearance or image, and it is tailor-made in the name of beauty, but it is actually above the director and screenwriter!

Lin Han didn't want a mouse to spoil a pot of porridge, he suddenly thought of something, and reminded: "By the way, Mr. Han, you remember to let these actors sign a few more films, "Lost" is planned to have 6 seasons. ”

Actors are an uncertain factor, if the first "Lost" is a big hit, then the value of the actors will definitely rise, and there will be more activities!

Whether it is to reduce costs or increase the stability of the crew, it is necessary to let these actors sign a few more films at one time.

Lin Han is not a saint, he is now the producer, and he must find ways to reduce the cost of the crew.

In case the actors collectively ask for a salary increase, the binding force of this contract will naturally be there, and there can be a salary increase, but it is impossible to reach the sky in one step!

Besides, if the leading actor does not act on a strike, then Lin Han's script will be threatened, either to modify the script to make the character played by this actor die, or to let another actor play this role.

No matter which of these two situations is, it will make the audience extremely disgusted, so you have to guard against it!

This is like Zhao Wei acting in two parts at the beginning, but in the third part, another person played Xiaoyanzi, and the audience naturally hated the third part, the reason is very simple.

There are many similar things, and instead of worrying about the trouble later, it is better to prepare in advance now!

was reminded by Lin Han like this, Han Feiguang immediately reacted: "You're right, I'll ask the legal department to find a suitable treaty, try to give them room for a salary increase, and at the same time, we have to complete our six TV series." ”

He thought about it for a while, and asked in a ghostly manner: "Do you think our "Lost" can really be filmed for six seasons?" ”

"Of course, you don't have any confidence!" Lin Han asked rhetorically, he said to his mobile phone: "The rest of the story is in my mind. ”

"It's not that I don't have confidence in the script, I don't have confidence in the ratings. The weekly drama is still six seasons, which means that one season every year has to wait until six years. Can the audience wait that long? ”

Lin Han wasn't sure about these either, he wasn't a prophet after all, so he could only say with relief: "Anyway, take one step at a time." You didn't get out of the lake. Southern Satellite TV's purchase promise, anyway, the first season will definitely not worry. ”

The investment in "Lost" this time is so large, if the price is not enough, it will definitely lose money.

But now Weizhou Island is in contact with Central Plains Pictures, they want the crew to put the filming location on Weizhou Island, not only do not charge the crew for rent, but are even willing to take the initiative to sponsor the crew!

The story of "Lost" takes place on a small tropical island in the Pacific Ocean. An island in the Beihai Sea of the Western Autonomous Region, it is a very good tourist attraction.

But it seems that this attraction is not particularly famous, and now that the tourism industry is so strong, the local government just happened to see the news, so it is ready to implant itself in "Lost" in exchange for high attention and high topics!

In addition, many TV stations have actually contacted Zhongyuan Film and Television after seeing the filing results of this TV series, and many TV stations are willing to buy the first round of broadcast rights without seeing the finished product!

Now that capital is frantically pouring into the film and television industry, every TV station is full of energy to buy high-quality TV series.

But good works are limited after all, and it feels quite uncomfortable that you can't spend money even if you have money!

Dragon TV is willing to buy "Lost" at a price of 1 million yuan per episode, and it is quite good for a 25-episode TV series to have this price.

River. Su Satellite TV also gave a price of 1 million. Although Southern Satellite TV did not express its position, the result implied by Zhou Liangyuan is that it will definitely exceed this price!

Zhejiang. Jiang Satellite TV is also one of the suitors of "Lost", they have a lot of money and are bent on surpassing the lake. Southern Satellite TV, although there are doubts about whether the sci-fi TV series can get high ratings, is not soft at all when it comes to spending money, and gives 1.2 million episodes!

These quotes should be confidential according to common sense, but who of these satellite TVs has no inside line?

Don't try to hide it from anyone!

Yanjing Satellite TV originally gave 800,000 per episode, but after hearing the prices of the rest of the competitors, they immediately increased the price to 1.25 million episodes in one go!

These TV stations are not bad for money, they are more affluent than those TV stations in the mainland or northeast, with high ratings, more advertising revenue, and a developed local economy.

More than one million episodes is definitely a sky-high price, a 25-episode TV series, counting 1.2 million episodes, can sell 30 million yuan just for the first round of broadcast rights!

This may be enough for ordinary TV drama producers, but for "Lost", which has a total investment of hundreds of millions, this amount of money is far from enough for the cost.

This is why domestic TV dramas are getting longer and longer, anyway, the prices are about the same, and the more episodes you have, the more money you will naturally sell!

Most of the excellent TV series in the last century and the beginning of this century have more than 30 episodes, and there are very few more than 40 episodes.

But now the TV series is like an old lady's footwrap, smelly and long!

Obviously, there are only 30 episodes of the plot, but it dragged on to 70 episodes, and I don't know how many things are stuffed in the middle to make up the numbers, and the audience can like it to have ghosts.

The first round of broadcast rights sold for 30 million, not to mention Lin Han, even Han Feiguang can't look down on this price!
