Because of the high popularity of "You from the Star" on the Internet, this meeting attracted hundreds of media from all over the country, and the reporters dispatched to fill the conference hall on the top floor of the Shangri-La Hotel.
Witnessed by these media reporters, Lu Xi, general manager of Chenfei Media, announced the official launch of "You from the Star", and together with several important figures, he lifted the red cloth covering the camera.
In addition to Lu Xi, Lu Chen, Chen Feier and others from Chenfei Media, there were also senior executives of the two David TV stations, as well as director Fang Hui and more than a dozen actors.
After the simple but grand ceremony, Lu Chen, who is the core character of this TV series, was immediately surrounded by reporters from all walks of life, and the interview microphones with logos almost drowned him.
Lu Chen, who "disappeared" in the media some time ago, answered their questions patiently with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Lu Chen, how long is it expected to be filmed for "You from the Stars"?"
The first question came from a reporter from Entertainment Weekly.
Lu Chen replied without thinking: "It is expected to be filmed in two to three months, this TV series is different from the two I have filmed before, and it involves a lot of special effects production, so the investment is very high, and the shooting cycle will be long." ā
The other party asked: "So the domestic audience will not be able to see it until October?"
"No..."
Lu Chen shook his head with a smile and said: "If the filming goes well, the audience will watch the first episode of "You from the Star" around August 15 at the earliest, and we will launch this new drama to TV audiences across the country by filming and broadcasting!"
"My Love from the Stars" is a weekly drama!
This is undoubtedly a big highlight, especially for a large TV audience, and it is definitely good news.
Because they don't need to wait until "My Love from the Star" is all filmed to get a sneak peek!
Weekly dramas were first popular in Europe and the United States, and the concept of "weekly dramas" is not only a definition of the broadcast cycle, but also a series of processes from shooting, production, publicity to broadcast cycles, which are completely different from daily dramas.
It is easy for people to simply understand weekly dramas as TV dramas that are "broadcast weekly", but in fact, "filming and broadcasting" is the key feature of "weekly dramas".
Domestic TV dramas are influenced by European and American dramas, and "weekly dramas" have also been launched, but many "weekly dramas" launched in the mainland have only learned "weekly broadcasts" in the "broadcast cycle".
Filming a real weekly drama requires more energy and effort for the producer, always pay attention to market trends and audience opinions during the broadcast, and must cater to the needs of the audience in the plot arrangement, and avoid the phenomenon of "flooding" in each episode.
In fact, the viewing habits of domestic audiences are changing, weekly dramas are starting from scratch, and more and more people dare to eat crabs, which will undoubtedly be the trend of national dramas in the future.
But for now, filming weekly dramas requires not only strength, but more importantly, confidence and courage.
If others say that they are filming a weekly drama, reporters may have doubts, but they absolutely believe Lu Chen's words, because Lu Chen's first TV series "Blue Life and Death Love" is a weekly drama.
At that time, he was ridiculed by many insiders because of this, and was considered to not know the height of the sky.
As a result, my face was swollen!
On the contrary, in the second "Full House of Romance", Lu Chen instead adopted the traditional shooting mode and broadcast it after filming.
Now that "My Love from the Star" is back in the weekly drama, this news will undoubtedly lift the spirits of his fans!
A reporter holding the microphone of "Daily Express" asked: "Mr. Lu Chen, can you reveal how much you are paid for starring in "Star You"?"
This question made all the reporters present prick up their ears.
As the most popular new artist in the domestic entertainment industry, Lu Chen's worth has always been one of the topics talked about by insiders.
The value represents the coffee position, but Lu Chen's situation is different from most people, the songs he sings are written by himself, and the TV series and movies he makes are also written by himself, and even the investment is invested by himself.
I am afraid that the only thing he can come up with is to sell the copyright of original song works and advertising endorsement fees, the former is 1 million for a song, and the latter is 5 million for a song.
As for commercial performances, Lu Chen basically doesn't run announcements and commercial performances now, and he hasn't even held a solo concert yet.
The salary is even more fascinating, although the two TV series and a movie are big hits, his salary has not been announced to the public, although many media have speculated, but whether it is reliable or not I am afraid only Lu Chen himself knows.
I believe that many people are interested in this.
Regarding this rather sensitive issue, Lu Chen thought about it for a while, and still replied: "I can tell you very frankly that Miss Chen Feier and I are paid 1 million per episode for starring in "Star You". ā
1,000,000 episodes!
The total number of episodes of "My Love from the Stars" is 35 episodes, which has been announced on the official V a long time ago, and everyone knows it.
Although the number of episodes of the salary is not equal to the total number of episodes, there is another set of calculations, but according to the usual proportion, the salary that Lu Chen and Chen Feier get through "Star You" will be between 25 million and 30 million!
The combined salary of two people is almost half of the investment budget of this TV series!
It sounds amazing, but no one thinks it's too high, because in terms of the current fame of Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er, as well as the ratings of the first two TV series, such a salary is not high at all.
You must know that the highest-paid actor in China now, the price of a TV series is hundreds of millions, although there is a considerable amount of water, in fact, it is undoubtedly more than two.
But in terms of ratings, who dares to compare with "You from the Star", which has not yet been filmed?
This TV series is definitely going to be popular, it's nothing more than a question of how popular it is.
And Lu Chen also had something to say: "50% of my salary and Miss Chen Fei'er will be converted into investment to ensure the quality of the production!"
Actors invest in shares with remuneration, which is also a very popular way in the TV drama industry at present, but it is not very popular with producers, but the producers of "My Love from the Star" obviously will not object.
