Two days later, Shi Lei took Fang Xuan back to the magic capital. Wei Yuan has already arrived at Dongsheng Entertainment, Weng Zhijian and Shi Lei's opinions are the same, this script has average selling points, and the plot is even more unbright, but you can try it, after all, there are very few TV series of this type now, if the publicity is in place, the click rate on the Internet will definitely not be bad.

"Hello, Miss, are you here for an interview?" Fang Xuan had just walked into Dongsheng Entertainment's office when a scout quickly ran over and asked.

Shi Lei frowned and glanced at this scout, rubbing, I don't know Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is the boss, this TM is the future boss lady, what kind of eyes do you have!

Fortunately, an old agent immediately shouted hello to the chairman, so that the new scout instantly understood Shi Lei Fang Xuan's identity, went back to his position in a gray manner, went out quickly with his bag, and dug up the newcomer.

"Boss Shi, you're finally here, when will this crew be established, when will I be able to meet other editors, are there any very famous people?"

As soon as Shi Lei and the others entered Weng Zhijian's office, they saw a person popping up on the sofa, and Wei Yuan was actually in Weng Zhijian's office.

Weng Zhijian said helplessly: "Chairman, you are finally back, he sat here for a day yesterday, and he is like this today." Uh, who is this beauty? ”

"My fiancée, Fang Xuan, follow and take a look."

"It's the boss lady, please take a seat." Weng Zhijian said enthusiastically.

"Fang Xuan?"

"Wei Yuan?"

Two voices of surprise sounded almost simultaneously.

"What, you two know each other?" Shi Lei looked at Fang Xuan and asked.

"High school classmate, he's the one you said wrote the script? Will he write scripts? At that time, he didn't even pass the language, okay? Fang Xuan looked at Wei Yuan with a look of disdain.

"Who said that, I didn't play well, you can't slander me. Why can't I write a script. My talent, that's what you don't see. Boss Shi is your fiancé? Let me tell you, he is too picky, I am so good at a script, he only gave me 10,000 yuan! Wei Yuan complained indignantly.

"You're embarrassed to ask for 10,000 yuan! dignified Wei Shao, but he was reduced to selling pens. What's the matter, your commercial buildings are all yellow? Fang Xuan unceremoniously sarcastically replied.

"Isn't that the family not giving money? If I give money, I get a film and television company, and I will shoot this film myself, will I sell it to him? Boss Shi, look, we're friends now, are you asking me to be an assistant director or something? Wei Yuan asked at Shi Lei.

"You're going to shoot it yourself? Okay, give me 10,000 yuan. You take the script. Shi Lei stretched out his hand at him.

"When I saw it, I said that he was very picky, and he was embarrassed to ask me for 10,000 yuan. No, it's gone, I don't need money for food and accommodation for the past two days. I'm unlucky, you hurry up and get the crew up, I'm waiting to play my strengths. Wei Yuan said unashamedly.

Fang Xuan whispered in Shi Lei's ear: "This Wei Yuan's family conditions are very good, and there are several commercial buildings and office buildings in the capital. It's absolutely no problem to earn more than 100 million yuan in rent a year, how can I come to you as a screenwriter? ”

"Who knows. People have hobbies. Wei Yuan, don't call me Boss Shi or Boss Shi, if you are the same age as Xuan Xuan, then I am older than you, you can call me Brother Lei, or call me Shi Lei directly. Tell me about it. Why did you have to make this story into a TV series? ”

"Hobbies don't work." Wei Yuan said with a stiff neck.

If it weren't for drinking too much and betting with someone, which grandson would be willing to shoot this thing. Not only do I want to make this script into a TV series, but I also want Lao Tzu's name to appear in the first column of the screenwriter, otherwise I will lose the bet, and I will have to wear my underwear outside and walk on the street.

Shi Lei saw Wei Yuan's inner thoughts. I almost couldn't hold back my laughter: "Wei Yuan, if the crew wants to build it, it's not so easy." First of all, there must be a script, and then there must be various people such as directors, drama management, lighting, artists, scene notes, etc., and there are a few of these companies that can be used, but most of them have to be invited from the outside. Especially your script, you need a few screenwriters to improve it for the time being, right? To make it into a TV series, you need at least 20 episodes, and with your brief script, it's all over in two hours. ”

"Then you hurry up and find someone, aren't you all done?" Wei Yuan had Shi Lei's wrong expression.

Shi Lei took a deep breath, this kid is so annoying, he doesn't understand anything, and he thinks he can do anything.

"Old man, have you found the screenwriter?"

"I've been contacted, tonight, there will be two screenwriters coming over, both of whom have participated in this kind of youth-themed TV series. There is also a need for music producers, composition teachers, choreographers, and other professionals, and this is also in contact with the record company we work with, and I plan to borrow two from them, and our company is not enough. ”

"When will we start filming after all these people are invited?" Wei Yuan couldn't help but interject and asked.

Weng Zhijian glanced at Wei Yuan: "These people are here, but they can't shoot, and everyone in the crew doesn't have them, what are you going to shoot?" There are still actors who have not been decided, the investment has not been decided, and if you want this script to be made into a TV series, it will be at the end of the year at the earliest. If it's released, it'll be next year. ”

"What? It's going to take so long! How can that work, absolutely not. This TV series must be released this year, and it will be too late next year. Wei Yuan was shocked.

"The company's first TV series, where can it be so fast. Besides, it will be released at the end of this year, and it will be released early next year, and there will be only one or two months left, so what's the hurry? ”

"No, it has to be released this year!" Wei Yuan insisted.

If it weren't for Wei Yuan and the chairman's fiancée being classmates, Weng Zhijian really wanted to call the script in his face: Released this year, released this year, are you the general manager of the company, or am I the general manager of the company? If you don't understand anything, you know that you are rushing there!

Shi Lei smiled and patted Wei Yuan on the shoulder: "Wei Yuan, it's not impossible for this TV series to be released this year, then we have to speed up the progress and add a lot of expenses to the entire crew, do you pay this money?" ”

Wei Yuan gritted his teeth: "How much does it cost, is three million enough?" ”

Three million is all the net worth that Wei Yuan can take out, and he doesn't have more. If the family doesn't give it, where does he have so much money.

"Let's put it this way, filming a TV series now, not counting the actor's salary, will cost one million per episode. Do you calculate, plus the actor's salary, how much does an episode cost? Three million, you're embarrassed to speak. We have to invest more than 20 million yuan to shoot this TV series, and you will take out 3 million, and you are embarrassed to point fingers? ”

Weng Zhijian looked at Shi Lei in surprise, one episode is not an actor's salary, it costs more than one million? How can it be so high, didn't the actors say that they all use the company's newcomers, the salary of 5,000 per person for an episode is not bad, they are all newcomers. As for other expenses, including the cost of directing and composing and arranging, it should be no problem to compress an episode to 500,000, it is a youth song and dance movie, you don't need any big scenes, or even a director or anything, just find a director to shoot the MV, the chairman really doesn't understand, or is he fooling.

"Five million, I can take out so much at most, it must be released this year, and if I am the first screenwriter to write my name, and there is an original story to write my name, and I want to be a producer." Wei Yuan was going to borrow money, but he had never borrowed money from others, and he was too embarrassed to speak.

"Five million, it's no problem to release this year. The original story is originally yours, and it's no problem for you to be the first screenwriter, but the producer, forget it, you don't understand anything, causing trouble to the crew, and slowing down the crew's progress. That's it, five million, even if I borrow it from you, and after the TV series is sold, I will return the five million to you, but there is no interest. ”

"Okay, then it's decided, hurry up, you guys, and then urge the screenwriters to let them come quickly." Wei Yuan gritted his teeth and agreed.

Weng Zhijian looked at Shi Lei with admiration, this five million interest-free loan is just in hand? The entire TV series, according to Weng Zhijian's estimates, will definitely not exceed 8 million, and when the time comes, the satellite station will sell a round of premieres, and the local station and the network will sell a round of broadcast rights, and the money will almost be returned, maybe the company can make a fortune by relying on this TV series.

Shi Lei saw that Wei Yuan had been fooled, and he didn't feel very embarrassed, after all, he was Fang Xuan's middle school classmate, so he said that he would invite him to dinner at noon, so that Weng Zhijian could hurry up, get the screenwriter first, and then find a way to form the crew quickly. Especially for the venue or something, you must contact in advance.

After eating, Wei Yuan went to the company again, saying that he was waiting in the company, when he met the screenwriter, and when he would talk about it. After he left, Fang Xuan asked Shi Lei, what the hell is going on, didn't Wei Yuan say that he had no money, why did he invest another five million?

Shi Lei smiled mysteriously: "Look at his anxious appearance, and then think about his age, he must be good (four sounds) to play." I guess he made a bet with someone and had to make this TV series. Other companies threw out his script as soon as they saw it, but it was very suitable for Dongsheng Entertainment, because we happened to have a group of trainees who could sing and dance. Although it may not be too good to take it out alone, but they all have experience in cooperating and forming a group, which is absolutely fine. I'm kind of a trick on him, okay? ”

"It's okay, he had the nickname of 'stupid people and rich money' when he was in middle school, and the five million is not a bone break for him. Besides, he is an only child, and his family property is at least more than a billion yuan, but the family is strictly controlled. Also, you must not learn from him, you don't do anything every day, you know how to play. Fang Xuan still looked disdainful when he talked about Wei Yuan, it seemed that when they were classmates, the relationship was not very good, they were just classmates.

"That's okay, in fact, I told you, it doesn't take so much money to make this TV series, and the five million he gave is almost all the investment, don't forget that there are also advertisements. Well, we'll have to find some cheap and nice guys, and now for a penny, I'd love to spend it in half. You see how much I care, how can I learn from him. Is it a reward for me in the evening?
