Chapter 43 Investment in "Soldier Assault"
The next day, Yang Ruohan arrived at Mufan Pictures, and took the script of "Soldier Assault" to find the company's professionals to consult about how much money is needed to shoot this drama.
After all, it was a professional recruited by Mufan Pictures, and after roughly browsing the script, he answered Yang Ruohan's question.
"This is a military-themed TV series, without inviting first-line stars, and with the support of the troops, the cost should not be too high, about 40-500,000 yuan per episode,"
Yang Ruohan knew that he wrote down the amount, returned to the office, dialed the contact information left by Kang Honglei, and invited Kang Honglei to come to Mufan Culture to talk about investment.
Kang Honglei was very excited when he received a call from Yang Ruohan, he first went to Mufan Culture and felt that the possibility of Mufan Culture investment was not high.
He plans to go to Huayi Company to try it if there is no news in a few days, he really likes this drama.
But he didn't expect Mufan Pictures to call him the next day and ask him to come over to talk about investment, and he felt that his previous efforts were worth it.
Kang Honglei soon came to Mufan Culture, this time he met Yang Ruohan in the conference room, of course, not only Yang Ruohan alone, but also the professional investors of Mufan Culture.
After a few polite words between the two sides, they quickly got to the point.
"What is the budget that Director Kang has prepared for this drama?" The negotiator of Mufan Culture asked first.
"I'm going to shoot 30 episodes, and the cost of one episode is about 400,000, a total of about 12 million."
Kang Honglei didn't open his mouth to make a casual offer, he liked this script very much, and he had been preparing for it for more than a year, and now he was missing a part of the investment.
Now Mufan Pictures is willing to invest, and if he opens his mouth, he is likely to mess up this negotiation, so he said according to the minimum budget in his heart.
This price is basically the same as the price considered by the people of Mufan Pictures, so Mufan Pictures did not bother too much.
"Then I don't know how much money Director Kang still lacks?"
"I have contacted Bayi Factory before, and they have determined to invest 8 million, and there is still a shortage of 4 million funds."
Yang Ruohan heard that the soldier assault still lacked 4 million funds, which was similar to the previous bright sword, so he agreed to invest.
After the investment was confirmed, several people began to communicate about the shooting time of the shooting location. Only after everything is ready, "Soldier Assault" can be officially established, apply for filming permits, prepare the crew and casting, etc.
The process of applying for a filming permit is very simple, after all, Mufan Pictures has also participated in the filming of many film and television dramas in recent years. And Mufan Pictures is actively applying for a long-term shooting license.
What's more, the drama "Soldier Assault" was jointly invested and filmed with Bayi Factory, and it tells the story of soldiers. There is no reason why the General Administration should not approve it.
So after submitting the script of "Soldier Assault", the filming permit was issued soon after, and the script did not need to be changed.
The filming location of "Soldier Assault" was arranged by director Kang Honglei in Beijing, Spring City, Jinguancheng and other places.
The next thing is to release the casting of the crew of "Soldier Assault" and audition for the protagonist.
Yang Ruohan actually discussed with Director Kang whether there was a suitable role for Zhang Fan in this drama. and briefly described Zhang Fan's image to Director Kang.
Director Kang thought for a while, and felt that Zhang Fan's image was not suitable for the role of Xu Sanduo in his mind, and Zhang Fan could give it a try.
For the sake of investors, if Zhang Fan really wants to play a talent, he will not refuse, after all, Xu Sanduo is the soul of this drama.
Yang Ruohan thought about the description of Chengcai in the script: Xu Sanduo's fellow is also a more controversial character in the whole script, and it is okay to let Zhang Fan play it.
So the two set the role of Chengcai for Zhang Fan without Zhang Fan's knowledge.
Zhang Fan was very excited after knowing Yang Ruohan's arrangement for him, he was distressed because there was no suitable role for him in Bright Sword before, and now it is good to be able to play the second male lead in "Soldier Assault", after all, this is also a phenomenal TV series.
After confirming the completion of the role, Mufan Pictures released the news of the casting of the crew of "Soldier Assault".
Countless people volunteered to audition after hearing the news.
After all, now is the time for the bright sword to become popular, and many people feel that this drama will also set off a ratings frenzy.
Mufan Pictures respects director Kang Honglei very much, and after asking for the role of Chengcai for Zhang Fan, all the roles in the crew are mainly directed by Kang Honglei.
On the day of the audition, many actors came to Mufan Pictures, and most of them came to interview Xu Sanduo, especially Zhang Yi and Chen Sicheng.
Zhang Yi wrote a petition of more than 3,000 words for the role of Xu Sanduo, hoping to impress director Kang Honglei.
But it's a pity that the two of them are not Xu Sanduo in Director Kang Honglei's mind, but they didn't let the two of them run in vain once.
Director Kang directly handed over the role of Shi Jin's squad leader to Zhang Yi, and there was no candidate.
In the original time and space, Chen Sicheng played Chengcai, but now because Zhang Fan played Chengcai, Kang Honglei handed over the role of Wu Liuyi to Chen Sicheng.
The other supporting roles are basically determined, but in the role of Wu Zhe, Kang Honglei hesitates between Li Chen and Wang Kai.
The image of both of them is very suitable for the role of Wu Zhe, and Li Chen has cooperated with him three times before, but Wang Kai is a signed artist of Mufan Pictures.
In the end, he chose Wang Kai to play Wu Zhe. Because he is not the protagonist after all, and it is also the investment of Mufan Pictures that makes his drama successfully set up and start filming.
Choosing Wang Kai to play Wu Zhe can be regarded as a benefit to investors.
As for Li Chen, Director Kang Honglei can only say sorry, next time I have the opportunity to cooperate with him.
Wang Kai was very excited when he knew that he could star in "Soldier Assault", he signed a contract with Mufan Pictures after graduating from school, but he is still a newcomer, and most of the time he makes guest appearances in various crews.
"Soldier Assault" can be said to be the first scene in his life with a name and a role.
Several supporting roles have been determined, but the soul of the whole play, the most critical director Xu Sanduokang, still hasn't figured out who will play it.
But he is not in a hurry now, and he can slowly look for the protagonist, because according to his agreement with Mufan Pictures, the drama will start filming in March next year.
It's only the end of August, and he still has months to find his heart.
Of course, he had to assemble the cast before February, because he was going to send them to the barracks for a month to experience the routine of a soldier. Take a makeup shot. Then I rushed to Spring City to shoot.
When Director Kang of the crew of "Soldier Assault" was still looking for Xu Sanduo in his mind, Zhang Fan's driver's license was finally obtained.
Zhang Fan really wanted Zhang Weimin or Yang Ruohan to pay for him to buy a car, but after thinking about it, it was estimated that the two of them would not buy it.
Zhang Fan plans to wait for the soldiers to finish the assault shooting, and he should be able to pick up a Jetta with his savings.
The most uncomfortable thing about taking a driver's license in the summer is sun exposure, and the price for Zhang Fan to get a driver's license is that his skin has become a gazi again.
But he didn't care about it this time, he knew that "Soldier Assault" would start filming in March next year, and it was estimated that his skin would still turn dark by then.
Zhang Fan got his driver's license, which means that his summer life is coming to an end, and he will soon start school to study in Beiying.
Zhang Fan's college entrance examination score is okay, with a score of more than 400, and he will definitely not be able to go to a very good university with this score normally.
But as an art student, this score is already very high, and he has already received the admission letter from Beiying.
Zhang Fan took advantage of this last summer time to accompany Sisi every day. The two haven't seen each other for a long time during the holidays.
Zhang Fan and Sisi said that they would move out when school started, and invited Sisi to go over and have a look at it when the time came.
Sisi blushed when she heard this, and instead of speaking, she pinched the soft flesh on Zhang Fan's waist.
This trick is really a trick that all girls do.
Zhang Fan plans to ask Zhang Weimin about the house tonight. He decided to move in as soon as school started.
