Chapter 479: The actor that Jackie Chan wants

Bai Lu agreed with Fu Hao's point of view and said: "I think the opening ceremony of our company doesn't need to be too grand, inviting too many celebrities and making it too public, which is not necessarily a good thing." Our company has just started, so it's better to keep a low profile. It's best not to invite celebrities who attract too much spotlight to cut the ribbon, and it's best to invite a big name like Cao Kun to attend. ”

Fu Hao said to Jackie Chan: "Big table, when you go back, you must ask the monkey to make an appointment with Cao Kun to meet for dinner and chat." And Bai Lu is too, find an opportunity to go to Yu Jing for dinner, and talk to Yu Jing about it. Cao Kun is a big tree in the circle, and in the early days of our company's business, we must take a good look at the shade under this uncle. ”

Fu Hao said to Yu Jackie Chan again: "Don't you want to make a TV series, in fact, if you have a good chat with Cao Kun about your first TV series, let Cao Kun give you a name as a producer or producer, just with the word Cao Kun, the TV series you want to shoot will definitely have TV stations rushing to buy it in the future." ”

Yu Chengchan was speechless and said: "You are really whimsical." Cao Kun is now a big name in the mixed film industry, how can a rookie director like me be the producer of a TV series? I'm embarrassed to open this mouth and beg others, this Nima is simply a person who has lost my own and fallen for the sake of others. ”

Fu Hao smiled and said: "You are embarrassed to speak, you let the monkey speak, you are thick-skinned, and Cao Kun is an uncle and nephew, so it is easy to say anything." If you want to shoot this film, remember to pull in the monkey and give Ya Ye a position like an assistant director, and then let him beg Cao Kun from his point of view, and let Cao Kun help to hang up his name, without Cao Kun's contribution, when the time comes, we will set aside the profits for Cao Kun, it will be regarded as a registration fee, and he should be able to help. Unless your level of filming is too bad, Cao Kun is worried that you will ruin his reputation, so he won't do it. Otherwise, I really can't think of a reason for Cao Kun to refuse this matter. Anyway, you and the monkey should go and fool Cao Kun. You are a full-fledged student who graduated from the Department of Chinese Opera Directing. I also have a lot of experience with the group, and the script to be filmed is also very innovative, it is a modern rebirth idol drama, and there is no one in the domestic market at present, anyway, I read your script and I think it is good, it is very dramatic. It's much more interesting than the recently popular movie "Charlotte" about rebirth. You and the monkey are going to fool Cao Kun with the script, and if you fool it, Cao Kun may not only be named, but also help you be the producer. ”

Yu Chenglong smiled bitterly and said: "Are you stupid as Cao Kun?" Can you be fooled just by reading the script? A big name like him, if you really want to name you, people have to look at the actors' cast. No matter how well you write the script, what's the use of finding a bunch of unknown eighth-rate actors to play it? Cao Kun definitely won't be the producer for you. ”

Lin Shuqiao stood on the same front as Yu Chenglong in this matter and nodded in agreement. The two of them had discussed with Fu Hao who to play this play, and Fu Hao suggested that a newcomer like Qiao Xinxin should be used to play it. Let Qiao Xinxin be the female number one, and then equip Qiao Xinxin with a weighty actor to play a role, and strive for a play to support Qiao Xinxin.

Fu Hao read the script written by Jackie Chan, which is to the effect that an adult with a failed marriage returns to high school and starts his life again, a typical early online novel. But in the current domestic TV drama market, it is still rare. In the field of cinema. Similar themes have already appeared, and the audience has received them well. So Yu Jackie Chan wanted to take advantage of this craze. Shoot this well-crafted and interesting story that he has written a long time ago and changed more than a dozen drafts.

The heroine in this play is a very innocent girl in high school, and Yu Chenglong originally wrote it according to Gao Yuanyuan's template. Fu Hao felt that Qiao Xinxin was very suitable for this role, but Yu Jackie Chan strongly recommended trying to invite Gao Yuanyuan, but Fu Hao felt that it was impossible for Gao Yuanyuan to come to shoot a scene directed by a newcomer like Yu Jackie Chan, or a TV series.

Even if you give Gao Yuanyuan more money. People won't come. Fu Hao suggested that Yu Jackie Chan should not always think about super big names, anyway, it is also a work to test the market, so it is better to start the newcomer.

Yu Jackie Chan has been thinking about it these days, and discussing this matter with Lin Shuqiao. He even let Qiao Xinxin try several scenes in the villa, and he and Lin Shuqiao were quite satisfied with Qiao Xinxin's performance. But after some discussion, the two of them. I still feel that it is a bit risky to use a super newcomer like Qiao Xinxin to take the lead.

The company wants to praise Qiao Xinxin, in fact, it is enough to give Qiao Xinxin a female number two, and the male number one and the female number one drive her to become famous, and now the female number two in many TV series is better than the female number one. If they want to launch Qiao Xinxin, they can go this way. So he wanted to discuss the cast with Fu Hao.

Fu Hao actually gave Yu Jackie Chan the right to complete autonomy, Yu Jackie Chan let whoever he likes to play, and invite whoever he likes, Fu Hao will not interfere, he just suggested that Yu Jackie Chan use newcomers, and the only requirement is to stuff Qiao Xinxin into it, so that Qiao Xinxin has a drama at all.

But from the perspective of budget, Yu Chenglong still has to discuss it with Fu Hao.

His drama is not long, and the first part is tentatively only filmed with 24 episodes.

If you invite a popular male and female star to play a man and a woman, even if the two of them are a brokerage company, with a preferential package price, it is estimated that 1 episode will cost at least 500,000 yuan.

After 24 episodes are filmed, the salary of the male and female No. 1 alone will be 12 million.

If the TV series is filmed more sophisticatedly, the production cost of 1 episode cannot be less than 500,000.

Based on the minimum of 500,000, this is another budget of 12 million.

Coupled with the remuneration of other actors and crew, various expenses in the early and late stages, and some unpredictable expenses (which is an unavoidable part of the cost in the filming of film and television dramas), this is at least 5 million ~ 6 million expenses.

Yu Jackie Chan and Lin Shuqiao calculated this account before, if they really want to invite a super-first-line man and a woman to act and shoot a good TV series, the company will have to invest at least 30 million, which is still low.

30 million! - That's enough to make a medium-budget movie!

took so much money to test the waters and shoot a TV series, Yu Chengchan really felt that this was too extravagant, and the money should not be spent like this.

So he is thinking about it these days, so he only invited a relatively large wrist to shoot the male one, and really gave the female one to Qiao Xinxin. This can save a lot of remuneration costs.

Fu Hao understood what Jackie Chan meant at this time, and said: "Then you can come as you say, if you want to invite a big name, we can invite a big name, or you can read the script for Cao Kun and ask him to help choose someone, he thinks whoever plays him can be famous, we will invite whom." If he really wants to order someone, he will definitely help us get in touch. But there is one thing I still want to emphasize, Qiao Xin must at least play the second female of your drama.
