Chapter 1259: Layout Again
This is a photo taken under a big osmanthus tree, this osmanthus tree should be an old tree, it is very beautiful to cover the sky and the sun, Gao Leng leaned on the osmanthus tree, and there was a teenager standing beside him, smiling brightly.
"Is this boy your brother?" asked Gao Leng.
"Ah, yes. Jian Xiaodan ran over and looked at the desktop, but said very generously: "I took it near the welfare home after the Chinese New Year." ”
"Ou Yang knows you very well, I haven't met your brother yet. Gao Leng said.
"It's not easy to see my brother? he goes to school there every day. Xiao Shan said with a smile, returned to the sofa and sat down again to look at the information, and seemed to feel extremely ordinary and natural about Ou Yang's photos on the table. Jian Xiaoshan was natural, Gao Leng felt a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't say what was uncomfortable, so he felt panicked.
Looking at the video again, Ou Yang put his hand on her brother's shoulder, looking very intimate.
My heart became more and more panicked.
"I'll go see your brother on the weekend, you can make arrangements. Gao Leng dropped this sentence and stood up: "I went to my own office to work." ”
Originally, working in Xiaoshan made him feel more comfortable, but now he is even more uncomfortable, so he simply left.
The following days have been busy with these three TV series, after Li Qian's book was bought, Xiaoshan was promoted in Fengxing and Xingsheng Magazine in accordance with Gao Leng's requirements, and there are two well-known domestic entertainment magazines in hand, which are still extremely powerful in terms of publicity, and the people may not care too much about this news, after all, Xingguang Group did not go to other portals to buy the front page, Li Qian is not very familiar to the public, and the best way to promote the drama is to hype the male and female protagonists.
However, with the blessings of Fengxing and Xingsheng, everyone in the film and television industry knows it: Xingguang Group bought Li Qian's book at a high price, setting a new high for the screenwriting fee of adapting the original novel.
I heard that Gao of Starlight Group is always determined to enter high-quality dramas, and the book written by Li gave a high price of 300,000 episodes, and the price of a book that changed the original novel is so high.
He really worked hard to play this high-quality drama, Li Qian's writing skills are reliable, there is nothing unpopular in her adaptation, I think he will find which director to shoot this drama, this is definitely popular!
At first, I thought that it was a gimmick for him to play high-quality dramas, although Starlight Group has some financial resources, but it is not enough to have the financial resources to make all of them high-quality products, which shows that there is no profit in at least two or three years, but I didn't expect this coldness to be really terrifying, and the screenwriter will spend so much money.
The directors, assistant directors, producers and others in the circle talked about it.
In fact, any circle, when it reaches the top, is so big, there are only dozens of people. Let's talk about the screenwriter circle, the first-line screenwriters can count on ten fingers, and the same is true for the first-line directors.
For a time, there were more than 50 screenwriter assistants who contacted Starlight Group, and all the first- and second-tier ones came. Cooperation or non-cooperation is a saying, let the assistant add a contact information first, and when you have a good book, you will have one more choice, no loss. What screenwriter doesn't want his book to be meticulously crafted into a high-quality drama?
"Li Qian's book is officially set as "Weiwei", and now that the film and television rights have been bought, and the screenwriter has also been set, a director will be appointed to take over. We have received more than a dozen director's assistant intentions, but there are only two first-line big-name directors, you see. Jian Xiaodan handed over the information and frowned: "It's hard to find big-name TV drama directors in this line, and several of them are filming on the big screen." ”
Nowadays, directors are fighting on the big screen, that is, movies.
If you look at the authors, actors, singers, as long as they say they are directors, who will be the directors of TV dramas?
。 Why? There are two most important reasons.
First, it takes a long time to shoot a TV series, one shot is a year or two, and the number of episodes is at least eight or nine months, those who come across the industry to be directors, do you think they really have a dream of being a director?
Second, the film director sounds like a face, this is the same as the press circle, when you hear that you are a reporter from a TV station, often the reporters of the paper media will feel that they are superior, although the people think that this TV is better than newspapers and magazines, but the reporter circle does not think so, and the unanimous opinion is: Those who play in the TV circle, those who do not play the paper circle have real skills. This is true, except for the top hosts who have real skills, as far as the average TV reporter is concerned, the scripts they write are simply unreadable, let's talk about entertainment news, you listen carefully to what the TV station entertainment news broadcasts? XX star is here! She came over wearing a XX exposed I breast suit, and XX really looks like a woman from top to bottom...... Can this be compared with the elaborate work of magazine interviews? In addition, when TV reporters and newspaper and magazine reporters participate in an event together, basically 99% of TV reporters will copy the manuscripts of paper media reporters, and this has become a common practice: Hey, buddy, copy for me, my TV station's ......
And the same is true in the film and TV drama circles, when it comes to movies, well, tall and tall, you have to shoot a story in just two hours, and you can enter overseas at every turn, so what's wrong if you don't win awards?
And what about television? Television is filmed for ordinary people, and if it has a relationship with ordinary people, it will be over, and it will be dirty. It's not nice to say, but that's the way it is, that's what people in this circle think.
Therefore, more and more directors are making movies, and they don't make much TV series that are bitter, tiring, long, and slow to return to their original costs.
"There are only so many really good directors, several of them are making movies, there are many TV series directors, and many idol films have long cooperated with TV stations, and they can't free up their hands, and the asking price for those who can free up their hands is high, so it's hard to find. Xiaoshan pointed to the two directors who submitted it: "Fortunately, you bought Li Qian's book at a high price before, these two directors came to Li Qian's book, but the asking price is very high." ”
After spending the screenwriter's money, it's time to spend the director's money. You buy a screenwriter's book at a high price, you can't buy a director at a low price, right? If you buy a screenwriter at a low price, no one will want to take your play.
"How much do they want. Gao Leng asked.
"I talked to them about the total share, which means that the final share can be increased by 5 points. "Xiaodan is talking about the method that Gao Leng said before, the money received by the director is calculated according to the final share, if you shoot well and return to the capital, you will earn a lot, and there is no cap.
"Five points more is a lot. Gao Leng nodded.
"But they didn't. Xiaodan shook and sighed: "The current market is all about a one-shot deal, the director is unwilling to take this risk, it is calculated according to how much money is per episode, this is the same as the year-end bonus, now I don't want the year-end bonus, you give me more every month, it's done." So your set, these two directors are veterans in the connoisseurs, and they don't eat it. ”
Gao Leng looked at the names of the two directors, they are indeed well-known directors in the TV circle, and they are the ones with high prices.
"These two directors have both made anti-Japanese war films, and they have a hard relationship with the TV station, they will definitely not eat your set, the screenwriter you have paid a high price, then the director must also have a high price, high-quality films, it is difficult to shoot in itself, you are not at a high price, who will come? In addition, these famous directors have cooperated with major film and television companies for many years, they are veterans, and our Starlight Group seems to be a novice in their eyes, and this veteran and novice cooperate, and the novice will definitely suffer a loss. ”
Gao Leng listened to Xiaodan's words and calculated in his heart.
More than ten days have passed, and the matter of Starlight Group smashing Li Qian's book with a lot of money has long been fermented in the circle, and 7788 has also contacted directors from all walks of life for a long time, as long as they are experienced and have superb skills in the team, the asking price is not low.
But if the director also has a high price, then the follow-up actors and productions should be even more expensive, it's okay to invest in one, but it's okay to invest in three, this money can't be beared.
"Otherwise, we will shoot two less films and one masterpiece first. Xiaoshan proposed again.
"No, at least three. Gao Leng shook his head.
"Then, why don't our directors invite the second line?"
"Second-tier directors can't shoot the feeling of first-line directors, and their team can't. Gao Leng shook his head again.
The director is not just a person, the director is to lead the team and lead the team, no matter how good the director is, the team can't shoot a good drama if the team can't do it, this team is more detailed, including lighting, makeup, photography, props and other groups, to put it mildly, that is, the director's hands and eyes, which are specific things.
Just having a good leader, without good employees, can't do a good job.
Therefore, the director has to invite the first-line.
"Post-production, and the actors invited, you can't save money in this regard, so what should I do?" Xiaodan grabbed her hair and was very depressed, she contacted the director to contact a circle these days, there is nothing cheap and good about this literary and artistic work, the director itself is the most difficult job, so he naturally has to get the highest salary.
"Think about it. Gao Leng's hand was on the table and slammed.
Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock.
"So we showed me the list of directors and works that we liked. Gao Leng stretched out his hand, and Xiao Shan hurriedly handed him a piece of information, and he looked at it carefully.
"These are all directors who have made good dramas in the inland over the years, and these are their ratings. Xiaoshan handed over another piece of information.
"This is the current price in the director's circle, and the asking price after I contacted these dozen or so director assistants. ”
"You've done a lot of information. Gao Leng looked at Xiao Dan with satisfaction.
"It should. Xiaoshan sighed: "Playing film and television really costs money, I didn't know if I didn't enter this industry before, but when I went in, I found that it was really money." Although many of these directors want to shoot Li Qian's works, the asking price is really high. High-quality dramas are expensive and risky, no wonder few people vote. ”
"Less money for the director, we must give less money to the director, and put a lot of money into the post-production. Gao Leng looked at the information and said slowly, holding the information in one hand and knocking on the table with the other, thinking carefully about the layout.
They are all famous directors, how can they have less money?
