Anyway, now that Hong Kong actors have gone to the mainland to develop, the salary they want is not high, and the level of drama and performance is much better than that of mainland actors, who do they need?

The more Lin Xiaohu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but call Long Huafeng and ask him to meet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info thought on the road, if you don't shoot it, you can shoot a "Deer and Ding Ji" that is the most real, most in line with the original work, and the most close to the people in history), so that the audience thinks after watching it, this is the "Deer and Ding Ji" in their minds. At the same time, this one also pays tribute to the classic version of the early Liang Chaowei, and while paying tribute, it must also be suppressed, so that it will always sleep in history, and no one will mention it in the future. Even if it is mentioned by chance, it is to be a foil for his "Deer and Ding Ji" and be a green leaf.

After Lin Xiaohu saw Long Huafeng, he excitedly mentioned his thoughts to him, and Long Huafeng naturally raised his hands in approval. So the two drove to Lin Xiaohu's Hongxian Film and Television Company, where they found the manager and talked about the idea.

The manager is a professional, a master in the circle, he will not shoot when he thinks of it like Lin Xiaohu and Long Huafeng, but has to consider more issues outside of film shooting. One of them is that we must consider, is there a market after the auction? If there is no market, there is naturally no need to shoot. If you think about it, no one will have enough to eat, and you will enjoy filming by yourself, without seeking broadcasts or returns, and people with normal sanity will not do that. You must know that in this era, filming a TV series is not a matter of hundreds of thousands or millions, plus post-production and advertising investment, tens of millions are possible. No one will take tens of millions of funds as water.

The second question is, how big is the market? Is it possible to make a profit after deducting the cost of shooting? In addition, there are many cumbersome issues to consider, such as, the last film ((The Legend of Deer and Ding) has just been filmed for three years, and with such a short interval, it is going to be remade, is there still an audience to buy it? For another example, will Mr. Jin sell this film and television adaptation right? And so on and so forth, these questions can only be determined after careful consideration. And after all the questions are determined, you can decide whether to shoot or not.

In short, this is a systematic and complex project, definitely not like Lin Xiaohu and Long Huafeng, who have a hot brain, pat their thighs, and shoot when they say. In that case, it is likely that you will lose your capital and not earn any food and drink.

The manager looked at Lin Xiaohu, then at Long Huafeng, and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, whether you are making a TV series or a movie now, whether it is a director or an audience, what you want is a star effect." Why does everyone love to watch TV series made by celebrities? This doesn't need to be explained, in short, it is the star-chasing effect. After dinner in the evening, everyone sat in front of the sofa and watched TV, hey, this flashed a star face, I just liked it very much, so I followed it. If there are no stars, it won't be interesting to take a few looks, so I'll change the channel. Speaking of this, seeing Lin Xiaohu and Long Huafeng nodded again and again when they heard this, they said with a smile: "Actually, you two are good-looking, one plays Xiaobao and the other plays Kangxi, there is no problem at all." But the crux of the matter is that if you want to shoot ((Lu Ding Ji)), everyone knows that there are only two protagonists, that is, Xiaobao and Kangxi, but there are just two protagonists, and you are also allowed to play two fresh faces, which to some extent, is no longer welcome. What will affect this is a drop in ratings, and in that case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sell. ”

Lin Xiaohu and Long Huafeng glanced at each other, and they both sneered, not knowing what to say.

Lin Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "The two of us are unknown, but what if there are more beauties in the film?" Attract the audience with beautiful women! I don't believe it, it's all superb

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

If you are a beautiful woman, will you not like it from the audience?" The manager smiled and said, "With the best beauty?" Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and the mainland, there are so many female stars, those beauties in Hong Kong and Taiwan are already yesterday's yellow flowers, and they will definitely not be able to play young roles, and the remaining new generation really can't get up. Just about appearance, it's not good! As for the mainland, there are no big beauties, they are all pseudo-vases, and they ask for a lot of salary, and their acting skills are very poor, and it is difficult to serve like an uncle. Acting with them, you have to die of anger. ”

Lin Xiaohu said: "I didn't say that I used famous stars, except for Liu Xianxian, all others used ordinary people." The manager smiled bitterly: "That's even worse, the hero and heroine are not stars, who else is watching?"

Long Huafeng interjected: "We can advertise more, talk more and attract the audience." The manager smiled: "Then tell me, how do you make a fuss?" Long Huafeng said: "We can refer to the most garbage "Dream of Red Mansions" in history filmed before, before filming, didn't we have a vigorous audition? Recorded by the co-director of Beijing TV and the Dream of Red Mansions crew, it is claimed to catch all the folk beauties, doesn't it attract the attention of many people? Later, although the TV series was filmed rubbish, many people followed it and watched it, wasn't it the little girl and the so-called folk beauties who attracted them during the audition?" The manager was slightly stunned and said, "I don't think there is any comparison between the two works at this point." ((Dream of Red Mansions) is first of all one of the four masterpieces, and it is a well-known classic, which everyone knows about regardless of age, so invisibly, it has a very broad mass base.) The success of its audition is based on this foundation. But looking back at "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", it is undeniable that it is definitely a classic masterpiece across the era, but the mass base is not as good as ((Dream of Red Mansions), you can only think about the people who like this kind of book. This is destined to attract too many people's attention even if an equally huge audition event is held. At least, people who don't like martial arts novels won't read them at all. When Long Huafeng heard this, he was immediately stunned.

Seeing that Lin Xiaohu and Long Huafeng were both in a depressed mood by his words, the manager smiled slightly and said, "There are many difficulties, but why are there no difficulties?" It's not that it can't be operated, you give me some time, and I'll think about it. Modern society is more impetuous, and it is still easy to catch the audience's attention, but you have to use your brain more. Lin Xiaohu nodded and said, "Then it's bothering you." The manager hurriedly said: "Boss, are you still polite to me?" I don't need you to tell me, I'll take care of this too. If I had been in charge of the preliminary planning for the adaptation of such a masterpiece into a TV series in my lifetime, I would have no regrets. ”

Lin Xiaohu said: "It's not just about being responsible for the preliminary planning work. If you can shoot, you can choose to be a producer or director. The manager laughed, waved his hand again and again, and said: "You think highly of me, I can do the work of a producer at best, and the director can't do it anyway." The soul of the whole TV series filming process is the director, ordinary people can't do it, if you really want to shoot it when the time comes, you must choose a famous director. ”

Lin Xiaohu asked again: "How long will it take to shoot such a huge work?" How much does it cost?" The manager shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, it depends on how many levels you shoot." This needs to be discussed by the screenwriter and the director. The longer you go, the more money you spend. But again, if you shoot for a short time, it won't cost less. ”

Lin Xiaohu said: "According to the current mainstream long-form TV series with forty episodes. ”

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The manager smiled: "It's still hard to say." Once filmed, you two leading actors shouldn't be paid, hehe, right? If you save the two salaries of the largest head, you can save a lot of money, so it's hard to estimate. If you insist that I estimate it, according to the current market in the circle, the cost of filming costume TV series is slightly higher, about 400,000 to 500,000 per episode, which already includes the actor's salary. Except for the salaries of your two protagonists, I estimate that each episode should be between 300,000 and 400,000. ”

Lin Xiaohu said: "So, if you say that, forty episodes will be filmed, which is more than 10 million?" The manager shook his head and said, "This is just the cost of shooting, you haven't counted the money spent on pre-planning, script adaptation, post-editing and production, and marketing." All of these add up to about 30 million or 40 million. It's definitely a big production in China. This is the same as Zhang Dabeard's latest ((The Legend of Deer and Ding). ”

Long Huafeng sighed: "For you to say this, there are quite a lot of issues to consider, it's really troublesome." The manager smiled and said, "Is this still troublesome?" This is also the case when making a TV, and if you make a movie, you have more things to think about and more things to do. Long Huafeng was the master who was most afraid of difficulties, and said: "Then just forget it, don't shoot, I originally thought about addicting the emperor, but it seems that there is no drama." The manager smiled: "Have you ever thought about the emperor's addiction?" That's not easy, you go to the Palace Museum, go to the photo booth and put on a dragon robe, take a photo, and the feeling comes out. As for wanting to live the emperor's addiction in the play, it's not that I said you, if you are not from a formal acting class, it is best not to touch it. Back then, a certain 'emperor professional' ng more than 50 times in order to shoot a qualified shot, will I tell you?"

Long Huafeng exaggeratedly shouted: "Damn, isn't it, more than fifty times?" The manager said, "What do you think! At that time, I remember that it was dog days, and the play was by the pond in the imperial garden of the palace, without any shelter, and it was filmed more than 50 times in a row under the scorching sun. Think about it, if it were you, would you be able to shoot more than 50 times in a row?"

Long Huafeng smiled bitterly: "Don't say it more than fifty times, I can't stand for fifty minutes." The manager laughed and said, "So, don't think that celebrities are so good." You can't just see celebrities in the limelight, but you also have to think about when they are suffering. It's not okay to pat your head and just want to film. ”

Long Huafeng looked at me and said discouragedly: "Little tiger, then forget it." ”

When Lin Xiaohu heard him say this, he was really angry, and he couldn't laugh, and said: "You kid, everything was instigated by you, and now you are the first to retreat." The manager didn't say no, think about it and then say, why are you afraid? Oh, I want to be the emperor and leave my name in the world, but I can't endure that hardship, how can you be like this?" Long Huafeng shouted: "Damn, you dare to stand and talk without backache." Dare to love you are the real protagonist, there are seven wives alone, and there are beautiful women around me wherever I play, and I can't go anywhere if I want to stay in the palace. The most hateful thing is that there is not a single beautiful woman around me...... Is that how it is written in the novel? From beginning to end, I didn't mention Kangxi's daughter-in-law, only that he had a child, right? ”

Lin Xiaohu laughed and said, "Otherwise, let the screenwriter change it, and add a few beautiful daughters-in-law to you...... Oh, no, it's the role of a beautiful woman, so that you are like the fourth master in "Joke about Qianlong", and you are also chic a few times. Long Huafeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he shouted: "This is what you said, you are not allowed to cheat." I'll tell you, then it's decided, give me a beautiful role. Hehe, I don't need seven wives, I can have six......"
