Director Qi Yongyan, producer Feng Yu, and screenwriter Cai Xue looked at Li Hao and Song Xuan with envy and walked out of the car. There are many investors who the three of them have seen, but there are very few who are as arrogant as Li Hao and spend half a billion to buy a luxury car.

When he arrived at the door of the coffee shop, Li Hao asked Song Xuan very gentlemanly to enter the store first. The successive appearance of the two made Qi Yongyan, Feng Yu and others sitting in the coffee shop take the initiative to stand up politely.

"Mr. Li, you are here. Xiang Ruihan and Yu Lu stepped forward to greet him. Half a minute later, seven people sat down on the sofa and began to negotiate about this film and television production.

The director, producer, and screenwriter saw Li Hao for the first time, and they originally thought that Li Hao would be at least forty or fifty years old. But I didn't expect to see it today, so young, much younger than the few owners of Wanda Pictures.

After a brief exchange between the two sides, at this time, Feng Yu, the producer sitting diagonally opposite, said to Li Hao in a slightly solemn voice, "Hello Mr. Li, I am Feng Yu, and I served as the producer of "Dragon Gate Agent" before. I heard that Mr. Li, you called the three of us, there is an urban supernatural web drama to be adapted and filmed, right?"

"Well, yes, it just so happens that all three of them are here today, and you can take a look at that supernatural novel first. Li Hao said casually.

After speaking, Yu Lu, who was sitting next to him, took out three episode synopses from his file bag, as well as the text of the novel that had been printed in advance.

Director Qi Yongyan, producer Feng Yu, and screenwriter Cai Xue took the text one after another, and then bowed their heads and read it carefully and carefully. The three of them live in relative poverty now, and they thought they could rely on a certain popular work to make a name for themselves in the circle. But the reality is always quite cruel, and the entertainment industry is not as easy to mix as imagined.

The quality of the adaptation of this suspense novel selected by Li Hao is definitely excellent. In the process of reading, the first three people were attracted by the setting and plot not long after watching it. Not only did director Qi Yongyan nod frequently, but even Cai Xue, who participated in the adaptation of "The Age of Naked Marriage", was so involved in watching it that she even forgot to drink coffee.

A quarter of an hour later, the three of them finished reading the synopsis, and then they couldn't help but exhale and take a short break. Producer Feng Yu took a sip of coffee with a dry mouth. For Li Hao's cooperation opportunity this time, Feng Yu suddenly felt a strong sense of gratitude! The reason is that the plot of this supernatural novel is really well designed. In particular, the means of digging and filling the pit are really ingenious.

At this time, Li Hao motioned to the three of them to express their views on the adaptation of the novel. Producer Feng Yu was the first to stand up and said, "Mr. Li, why don't you let me talk about it first! This supernatural novel selected by your company is really suitable for film and television drama adaptation! If you can give me this opportunity, I, Feng Yu, will definitely work hard to help you supervise the production of this web drama!"

Li Hao smiled slightly, and then looked at Qi Yongyan and Cai Xue.

"Mr. Li, I agree with Feng Yu, if you can let me direct this web drama, I will definitely do my best to shoot it for you. Director Qi Yongyan also expressed his opinion. He didn't have much expectations for this cooperation before, he just wanted to support his family, and the investors would give money to make online dramas, and he would just make his own hard-earned money. But now I see Li Hao's side, providing such a high-quality novel. Director Qi Yongyan, if you don't like it, it's fake, this is definitely an opportunity for him!

Compared with the inner excitement of the two, screenwriter Cai Xue felt a heavy and invisible pressure. After all, with two producers and one director, it is not easy to adapt a novel into a screenplay, especially with such a high-quality novel, it is even more difficult. Moreover, this supernatural novel provided by Li Hao is not like popular IPs such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Robbery Notes", which can become popular just by fans clicking.

However, although she felt a lot of pressure, Cai Xue still decided to grit her teeth and work hard, "Mr. Li, the plot of this supernatural novel is very cleverly conceived, and I am confident that I can adapt it into a relatively good script!"

After listening to the determination of the three of them, Li Hao turned his head to look at Song Xuan on the right, and then said to the three people in front of him, "This is Miss Song Xuan, I plan to make her the heroine of this film." ”

When the words gradually fell, Song Xuan, who was wearing a black dress, was fully prepared in her heart, and at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little more fluttering. was unknown before, bitter and bitter, until today is about to play the heroine. Song Xuan, a female artist, feels like a dream, for fear that when she wakes up the next day, everything will disappear... She swore in her heart that she would work hard to make this film for Li Hao. Never let down the boss's cultivation and hopes for himself.

Director Qi Yongyan and the three couldn't help but glance at Song Xuan, and they couldn't search for which film the artist in front of them had made in their minds. However, although Song Xuan is not famous, for the sake of investor Li Hao, director Qi Yongyan and producer Feng Yu can only nod their heads.

After everyone chatted about cooperation for a while, producer Feng Yu asked Li Hao softly, "Mr. Li, I think we're talking about cooperation." I would like to take the liberty of asking you, what is the approximate amount of investment in this web drama?"

Li Hao thought for a moment and asked casually, "Generally, how much does it cost to shoot a supernatural web drama per episode?" Although he fancy the potential of the three people, he still needs to know about the funding.

"Mr. Li, the price of each episode ranges from 200,000 to 400,000 yuan. Take the extremely popular "Soul Ferry" a while ago, for example, the cost of a single episode is about 300,000. Mr. Li, from my personal suggestion, you can try to shoot about 20 episodes first, and the cost of each episode is about 250,000, that is, about 5 million, and then you can invest more to continue filming when the online effect is good. ”

Feng Yu didn't exaggerate and say it high, because he considered that the heroine hired by Li Hao was not famous, and it shouldn't be a large-budget production. After all, if investors want to spend a lot of money, they will generally invite popular stars as the starring roles. Feng Yu subconsciously thought that Li Hao didn't want to invest too much in the online drama, so he didn't dare to report the price of 800,000 or even 1 million. Qi Yongyan and Cai Xue, who also belong to the same circle, also know this idea, after all, investors are very sensitive to the amount of investment.

After listening to the producer's suggestion, Li Hao used the Shenhao viewing privilege to see the potential return on investment of millions in a single episode. After checking it, he smiled, and then said to Feng Yu and Qi Yongyan in front of him, "With the production cost of 250,000 episodes, will the audience think that the crew's funds are too small?

After Li Hao finished asking, Feng Yu and Qi Yongyan shook their heads at the same time, "No, no, Mr. Li, netizens and audiences generally only pay attention to the quality of the plot, and the actors' acting skills are not in place, as for those stunt effects, as well as costumes and props, scene layout, etc., in fact, it doesn't matter if it's a little general." Anyway, as long as the plot of the whole show is smooth and there isn't too much blood!"

Because the novel is indeed a good novel, Feng Yu and Qi Yongyan just want to win this film first, and when the time comes, they will definitely shoot the second season, the third season, and the fourth season. So the three of them didn't think much about Li Hao's words, and just followed their feelings. After all, this is a chance for the trio, and they can't be messed up.

Li Hao saw that the three of them didn't understand what they meant, so he waved his hand and said directly to Feng Yu and Qi Yongyan, "I think the three of you don't understand what I mean, what I think is that instead of investing 5 million to make an online drama with a good plot but poor visual effects." Why don't I invest 20 million, or 30 million, to make an online drama with a good plot but better visual effects?"

As soon as the words fell, Feng Yu, Qi Yongyan, and Cai Xue, who were sitting in front of them, couldn't help but widen their eyes and were slightly stunned! It turned out that Li Hao was asking this meaning just now, not to save money!

Producer Feng Yu almost wanted to slap his head and asked Li Hao, "Mr. Li, you mean, you mean this web drama, you are ready to invest at least 20 million, that is, at least 1 million per episode?"

Li Hao shrugged his shoulders casually, "To be precise, my investment is expected to be 23 million, that is, 1.15 million episodes." ”

Li Hao's generous investment made the first three people, as well as Xiang Ruihan, Yu Lu, and Song Xuan beside him, once again feel his resoluteness and arrogance! Originally produced an online drama with a small cost of 5 million and 20 episodes, now Li Hao is willing to spend an additional 18 million yuan for filming! In this way, the crew will have money, can hire slightly better actors, and rent better venues and props!

Everyone is deeply aware that when they come out to do things, they have to follow a boss like Li Hao. When you meet a project, you meet an opportunity, you will throw money when you say that you will throw money, and you will never be afraid to lose sight of one or the other.
