Chapter 203: The Competition of Actresses
If you play the male lead by yourself, then you will be paid a dollar, so that the actor's salary can be lower, and the cost of each episode is about 600,000. However, the production team needs to calculate how much."
He Rongchang is a director, not a producer, so he can only calculate the shooting cost, and how much it will cost, and ask a special production team to calculate it.
However, with He Rongchang's experience, the final shooting cost error will not be too large.
"So, this scene is definitely going to be filmed, right? The role of Xiangyu is mine?" Yan Lan saw that the investment matter was almost over, and began to talk about the role.
"Yes, it's yours." Fang Xing nodded and replied.
The sitcom that Fang Xing is going to shoot is naturally "Wulin Gaiden".
This sitcom can be said to be the pinnacle of martial arts sitcoms.
It's not impossible to even compete for the pinnacle of sitcoms.
However, there will definitely be viewers who nominate "I Love My Home" and "Family with Children".
As for which one is the king of sitcoms, it mainly depends on feelings and preferences.
Sitcoms, in terms of performance form, are somewhat similar to sketches.
Fang Xing has not acted in a TV series yet, so it is more certain to start with a sitcom.
Unfortunately, "Wulin Gaiden" can belong to the martial arts genre, and in this regard, it happens to be on the same page as "Blood Rain Jianghu".
The candidate for the male number one has been temporarily determined.
He Rongchang continued: "In this script, there is another role that is more important, that is, the role of "Guo Furong", among the actors I know, there is no one who meets the requirements, and I may have to find a first- or second-tier actress to play it."
The role of "Guo Furong" is indeed very important.
The sketch actors cooperating with the Spring Festival Gala are more comedy in terms of appearance, and the role of "Guo Furong" has requirements for appearance.
Therefore, it is best to choose from the four small flowers.
However, these popular flowers, the price is outrageous.
Qiao Yinghong interjected: "A popular young actress may be paid half of the total investment."
An actor with a bad prospect for sitcoms is that he doesn't have enough investment and can't afford to hire a popular actor.
Fang Xing also thought about this question and said, "Then find one of the new actresses."
Newly emerging actresses, usually the price is not too high.
Especially those actresses who have filmed one or two dramas, and their image and acting skills are passable, they are usually more cost-effective.
Qiao Yinghong nodded and replied, "I'll be in charge of this matter, I know an agent of the new Xiaohua Song Yutong, and I can make an appointment to talk."
"Boss, what do you say about the theme song of this show? If the boss is in charge of the theme song and takes it out and sings it to the actresses, maybe it will be more attractive."
Fang Xing nodded and said, "I can handle the song and soundtrack, and I can take it out and sing it for the actors, which can be used as a bargaining chip to negotiate a film contract."
"If that's the case, it should be attractive to those new flowers." When Qiao Yinghong got this answer, she was even more sure.
……
Song Yutong is a young actress who is new to the entertainment industry.
has acted in two ancient puppet web dramas, the first one is a small fire, and the second one is a bit explosive, and its popularity soared quickly.
Qiao Yinghong knew Song Yutong's agent, so she made an appointment to talk.
After chatting, he reported to Fang Xing: "Boss, Song Yutong, I heard that I can sing the theme song you made, and I am very interested. However, they don't like sitcoms very much, so they want to make an appointment and talk about it in detail."
Sitcoms are indeed a bit thankless in the current entertainment industry environment, so it is normal for actors to be not optimistic.
Fang Xing wouldn't be angry about this, and promised, "Then make an appointment with them to have a meal and talk."
Qiao Yinghong then added: "Now Song Yutong's upward momentum is very fast, and, according to the information I have received, there are several dramas that are in contact with her, if you want to find her to act, it may be difficult to suppress the salary."
"What's the price?" Fang Xing asked.
"Song Yutong's agent revealed to me that the price they announced to the outside world was 500,000 per episode. However, I have known her agent for many years, and she told me privately that it could be reduced to 400,000 episodes." Qiao Yinghong replied.
Fang Xing frowned when he heard this price.
This salary price is actually not high for the current entertainment industry.
If it is the salary of those S-level actors, that drama is hundreds of millions.
According to the current TV series, if you shoot 30 to 40 episodes, Song Yutong's salary is about 12 million or more.
This price is not cheap for an actress who has had a hit drama, but it is not very expensive either.
However, this price is indeed not expensive for other idol dramas.
However, sitcoms are different.
Moreover, the estimated investment of "Wulin Gaiden" is 600,000 per episode.
If you want to invite Song Yutong, then the cost will become 1 million per episode.
Moreover, the filming of each episode of a sitcom is different from that of idol dramas, and the calculation of remuneration should also be different.
Fang Xing asked, "The salary of a sitcom shouldn't be based on the price of idol dramas, right?"
Qiao Yinghong nodded and replied, "Yes, I mentioned it. Song Yutong's agent said that if he could invite the boss to another song, the salary could be reduced more. Not according to the salary of each episode, but by the salary of the whole show."
"Okay, you can talk about it again, and it's okay to invite songs, as long as she can sing them."
If you can get a suitable actor, you can come up with another song.
After all, it's not easy to find a suitable actor.
"Okay, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Qiao Yinghong agreed.
……
The next few days.
Qiao Yinghong is talking to Song Yutong's team about the film appointment.
After agreeing to the invitation to sing, the progress of the talks was not bad.
However, when it comes to the schedule, something goes wrong.
Qiao Yinghong couldn't make her own decision, so she could only come back and ask: "Boss, Song Yutong agrees to the whole drama of "Wulin Gaiden", with a total salary of 16 million, equivalent to 200,000 per episode.
"However, when it comes to scheduling, something goes wrong."
"What's the problem?" Fang Xing asked suspiciously.
"They want to make a show." Qiao Yinghong replied.
Rolling drama is a term in the entertainment industry, which means that actors take on multiple dramas at the same time.
Because when filming, not every scene has a role for this role.
Therefore, the actor who plays this role, when there is no scene, does not use the crew, and can rest in the hotel.
Some actors took advantage of this break to rush to another crew to shoot another film.
In this case, it's called a rolling.
Because the schedule is very cumbersome to coordinate, if the two crews shoot scenes on the same day, they need to use this actor.
Then this actor can't be separated, and there will be problems.
Generally speaking, dedicated actors, even if they don't have their own cameras, will play against actors who play opposite actors.
And the dedicated actor doesn't have his own shot, so he goes directly to the stand-in.
For example, in a certain scene, it is the hero's affectionate confession to the heroine.
And in this scene, the heroine is behind the whole process.
Some undedicated actors think that they don't need to shoot their faces, it's all their backs, so let the stand-in shoot.
This makes it inevitable that the male protagonist will act in front of the heroine's stand-in, and look at the face of the stand-in.
Of course, performing without physical objects is also one of the basic skills of actors.
The stand-in is still secondary, and there is another problem with the play.
That is, if an actor plays two completely different roles at the same time, he will definitely be distracted and will not achieve the best effect.
Therefore, usually large-investment projects do not allow actors to roll the scene.
However, if it is not an S-level or A-level big production, if you want to invite popular actors to star, you usually have no ability to restrict actors from playing.
Due to the sitcom that Fang Xing is preparing to shoot this time, the initial budget is 600,000 per episode.
This investment is placed in the film and television industry, and it can only be regarded as a B-level production, not even an A-level.
However, this is divided according to the investment per episode, and does not represent the quality of the episode.
However, in the preparation stage of the project, the actors took over the play, and they didn't know whether this drama was a good drama or a bad movie.
In this case, of course, it is to look at the investment to take over the show.
A drama with an investment of 600,000 yuan per episode, this investment is not as high as the investment of some online dramas.
Therefore, just looking at the investment, it is really difficult to make the popular flower interested.
Therefore, Qiao Yinghong had to use the invitation song as a bargaining chip to talk about actors.
Even so, Song Yutong also asked for a play.
Hearing the other party's request for drama, Fang Xing said with a serious expression: "Drama is absolutely not good, sitcoms are different from other film and television dramas, and they need to be kept in a state of comedy all the time. You tell them that as long as she concentrates on our play, I will sing a song that can be popular."
Qiao Yinghong got this arrangement and went to talk to Song Yutong again.
Only, on the third day.
Song Yutong's Weibo suddenly announced that he would join the crew of "Blood Rain Jianghu" and play the second female lead.
After that, he rejected Qiao Yinghong's film offer.
Qiao Yinghong returned to the studio and said helplessly: "I also just received the news, there were indeed many crews talking to Song Yutong before, but "Blood Rain Jianghu" was a bit unexpected.
"I originally thought that Song Yutong was just a hit online drama, and it shouldn't meet the standards of S-level big productions.
"At the beginning, I heard that "Blood Rain" was found to play the third female lead.
"I didn't expect them to suddenly officially announce the second daughter, listening to the tone of Song Yutong's agent, it seems that we assisted her."
Fang Xing understood as soon as he heard it.
Immediately afterwards, "Blood Rain Rivers and Lakes" also officially announced that Song Yutong played the second female lead.
Subsequently, the self-media began to publish press releases.
said that a B-level small production and "Bloody Rain Jianghu" sent an invitation to Song Yutong at the same time, and finally Song Yutong chose "Bloody Rain Jianghu".
As soon as this rumor came out, many netizens began to speculate about which drama this B-level small production was.
There are guesses for everything, but about the project "Wulin Gaiden", it has never been announced to the outside world, so netizens don't know about such a project.
However, some people in the industry have news channels, and when they see this rumor, they know that this B-level small production is a martial arts sitcom that Fang Xing Studio is going to do.
