"Menjie, I didn't expect you kid to be silent, and actually pulled a crew out of the car!"

After completing the casting work, Menjie took Zhao Dong to have dinner with the God of Wealth and Shang Jing, and after discussing some things about the crew of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", he returned to the hotel with Zhao Dong.

After returning to the hotel, Zhao Dong looked at Menjie's gaze, as if he was looking at a monster, quite surprised.

Menjie's financing for the filming of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" had been decided a long time ago, but at that time, the news that the investor was Menjie himself was only known to the God of Wealth and Wan Tongtong, and they had not told anyone else, but only a few days ago, they told their agent Zhao Dong.

It's not that he doesn't trust Zhao Dong, it's just that at the beginning, Menjie didn't feel the need to tell him, after all, Zhao Dong was just his agent as an actor and singer, and he didn't involve other aspects.

But at the end of the day, although Menjie has completed the preparation of funds and casting, there are still many things that need to be done for him.

After all, as an actor, Menjie spends most of his time filming movies, TV series, or being a singer, and he doesn't have a lot of free time.

In addition, Men Jie himself has just stepped into the entertainment industry for more than a year, although he knows a lot of big-name friends, but there are not many capable staff, and in the end, in desperation, he can only find Zhao Dong.

Let Zhao Dong help him complete some simple work and save his time.

Now that Zhao Dong has been found, in the same way, a lot of news about the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", Menjie has to tell him completely.

At the beginning, I learned that Menjie was going to plan the auction himself. When he participated in the filming of a TV series, Zhao Dong was very surprised, but it didn't take too long to accept this fact.

In Zhao Dong's eyes, his own funds are only more than 3 million Menjie, even if he plans to shoot a TV series, I am afraid that there are only a few dozen or twenty episodes, and it is still a small-cost TV series, even if it fails, at most he will quit the TV circle. After more than half a year of struggle, all the losses can be earned.

As for quitting the TV drama circle......

In Zhao Dong's eyes, whether it is in the music or film industry, Menjie has developed very well, and there is no need to care about TV dramas. If you have this time, it is not as affordable as honestly shooting two movies.

So. Whether the TV series about Menjie can be successful and whether it can return to its original cost. Zhao Dong didn't care too much, and even subconsciously looked forward to it, expecting that the TV series filmed by Menjie would be hit hard.

Only in this way can Menjie truly understand the pain and gain experience, so as to give up and withdraw from the TV drama circle, and develop movies and music steadily. In Zhao Dong's eyes, this is the 'right way'!

Therefore, although he accepted Menjie's request, Zhao Dong was not very concerned. There is a perfunctory feeling.

But......

Not long ago, Zhao Dong learned that the TV series filmed by Menjie turned out to be a costume indoor sitcom with more than 80 episodes, and the investment reached tens of millions.

As Menjie's agent, I clearly know how much wealth Menjie has, the total wealth invested in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", but Menjie is worth several times, if the TV series loses money, I'm afraid Menjie will need to work hard for several years to be able to earn this money back!

If he had known about Menjie's intentions, Zhao Dong would definitely persuade Menjie directly or forcefully, or seriously, in short, no matter what method was used, he would have prevented Menjie from investing in filming this TV series.

But now......

Whether it is the script, director, staff or actors, Menjie has already been contacted, and he is only waiting for the filming to start in May, although he has the intention to stop it, but Zhao Dong has no way at all.

In layman's terms, the raw rice has been cooked and cannot be reversed!

In fact, not only Zhao Dong, when Yang Mi and Jia Jingwen learned the news, they both tried to persuade Menjie to give up the investment in this TV series, for fear that Menjie's TV drama career would be hit at the same time, but also afraid that Menjie would bear tens of millions of high debts.

But it's a pity that at that time, Menjie had already made up his mind to invest in the filming of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", so the two had no choice but to compromise and agreed to star in Menjie's TV series "Wulin Gaiden".

The only person who really supports Menjie's actions without thinking about it is Wan Tongtong, who is madly infatuated with and worships Menjie, right?!

It was after figuring out all this that not only Yang Mi and Jia Jingwen, but also Zhao Dong didn't think much about it anymore, and devoted himself to helping Menjie deal with all the matters of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden".

However, Rao is like this, after returning to the hotel, Zhao Dong still kept complaining about Menjie.

"Brother Zhao, the actors and staff are already in place, and I am also catching ducks on the shelves now, there is no way, I can only ask Brother Zhao for you to help me!"

Spreading his hands slightly, Menjie was happy in his heart, but he said that he was very helpless, obviously, he was determined to invest and participate in the filming of this TV series.

"It's already like this, even if I want to persuade you, I don't have a chance!"

Sighing slightly, Zhao Dong didn't know when Lu Dao had already completed a form and handed it to Menjie, "This is the information I just processed for Lu Dao, you can take a look, if you can, I will draw up contracts for all the actors and crew at this price!" ”

"What is this?"

After taking the form handed over by Zhao Dong, Menjie glanced at it slightly, and found that the information on this form was drawn up by Zhao Dong about the salary table of every actor and staff member in the crew!

The first page is the remuneration of the actors in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", among which Menjie ranks first, with a salary of 40,000 soft girl coins per episode, a total of 80 episodes of TV series, and the salary is 3.2 million!

And the second place is Jia Jingwen, another big name in the crew, ranking second with a salary of 25,000 soft girl coins per episode, 80 episodes, 2 million salary, just the salary of these two people, it has reached a terrifying 5.2 million soft girl coins!

In fact, this is also because of the selection of the two big names Menjie and Jia Jingwen, if you choose the original actors whose acting skills are probably between C- and C-level, I am afraid that the salary of each actor for 80 episodes is only about hundreds of thousands, and the five protagonists together are about 2 million!

In addition to a few leading actors, the other actors, because the number of episodes that appear is not very large, all the funds added together, I am afraid that it is one or two million, plus the salaries of all the staff except the screenwriter and director, all added together, it is estimated that it is 5 million expenses.

And the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" itself is still an indoor sitcom, most of the soft girl coins are used on the actors' salaries, and the cost of venue layout is not large, 1 million is enough, and the remaining two million are used for various consumables.

If you are fully calculated, the budget of 8 million is definitely enough!

For an eighty-episode TV series, such a price is not very high, and it can even be said to be very low, and the average cost of each episode is only about 100,000 soft girl coins, even if it exceeds a calculation, it can be controlled within 9 million, 10 million!

But now......

Because of the increase in Menjie's funds, in the casting, there are also two big names, Menjie and Jia Jingwen, and the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" originally spent more on actors, so the cost in this area has increased.

Even if Jia Jingwen gave Menjie a 'friendship price', for the sake of the special relationship between the two, she took the initiative to ask for Menjie to be given a 'half-price salary', and after 80 episodes, it will cost Menjie a full 1 million soft girl coins, but it is several times that of ordinary actors!

"Assistant Director, Assistant, Cinematographer, Soundtrack, Editor, Props, Art Design, Styling Design, Costume Design, Lighting, Recording, Dramaturgy, Scene Notes, Set Decorator...... Thirty-one people in total, and the cost for five months is 1 million? Well...... It's a lot, but most of these people are experienced staff, and the number is about the same! ”

Beyond the first list of actors' salaries, Menjie was the first to look at the salaries of the staff on the second page.

31 people, a total time of 5 months, the calculation on the contract is about 1 million, and the average salary of each person is 6500 soft girl coins, which is not very high.

Although some of them are considered newcomers, the level is not very high, the actual salary is more than 3,000 soft girl coins per month, but there are several leaders in the industry, the level is quite high, and the asking price is naturally very high, the highest one has a monthly salary of more than 30,000 soft girl coins, so it seems that 1 million soft sister coins, signed 31 professional staff for 5 months, is not very expensive, and it is still within the acceptable range of Menjie.

After reading the second page, Menjie saw the third page, the cost of some sundries, such as the layout of the venue and some sundries and costumes, because the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" was only filmed in a rather simple ancient inn built, and the number of people is not very large, everyone is not a gorgeous set, and there are even some shabby clothes, the fraud is not very high, all counted together, that is, about 1 million, similarly, so that Menjie, who is in charge of funds, is more satisfied.

In the face of things that do not affect the quality of TV dramas, and can save money and expenses, Menjie will be more satisfied. (To be continued.) )
