Chapter 90: Script and Work (Follow-up)
After the finale banquet of "Heartbeat", Lin Qingyuan returned to the imperial capital by plane the next day.
However, he did not come back for a holiday and rest, but prepared to carry out the next work.
Yan Jun came to the door with a large number of documents, and wanted to talk to Lin Qingyuan about the specific details in person.
The TV series in the living room was playing "Unnatural Death" starring Satomi Ishihara, and Yan Jun on the sofa took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase.
"The company's self-made drama you want is here."
Lin Qingyuan first saw a script with five big characters on the cover of "Squid Stewed in Honey".
He couldn't help but look up at Yan Jun: "Didn't you say that the male protagonist of this drama has been decided?" ”
Lin Qingyuan still remembers how the company rejected him before: You are too young to play the role of a mature man in his thirties, it will be very abrupt to stand with Yang Zi in the same frame, and after the TV series is broadcast, it is easy to be taken this opportunity by the opponent to gather fire.
Okay, Lin Qingyuan did make sense when they took advantage of others, but it was uncomfortable enough to have a hit drama in front of him but not be able to act because of his age...
"Originally, it was almost negotiated, but the actor wanted to act in the main drama more, so the company made a little change to the script and resent it to you by a few years shorter than the male protagonist." Yan Jun explained: "Or you play a male second actor who is more suitable for age, and the company will go to the market to find an older actor to play the male lead." ”
"However, if the second male protagonist is played this time, it is said that the company will arrange a male lead drama resource as compensation in the future, and the adapted IP is of the same series, but the hero and heroine of the story have changed."
Lin Qingyuan knew that Yan Jun was referring to the second part of "Dear Love", "Dear Beloved".
There's nothing to say about this drama, it's muddled...
Lin Qingyuan naturally wouldn't fall for Cehua's buy one get one free, and they stupidly cheated twice in a row...
"Clams? There is a male protagonist who doesn't play to play the second male lead, and the company wants me to match others in idol dramas? Do you think I'm stupid? Lin Qingyuan was speechless, he didn't want to receive the same treatment as Hu Yitian in the original time and space.
Using male artists from his own company to support male artists from other companies, Cehua has also done it.
"I actually didn't want you to play the second male, it was too delayed in development and too cheap, but because it was required by the company, the process still had to go through." Yan Jun continued: "So you still want to play the male protagonist after the script revision, right?" ”
"The script hasn't been changed much..."Lin Qingyuan was worried that because the script was changed by himself, it would be worth the loss.
"I lowered the age of the male protagonist by three years."
Lin Qing pretended to flip through the script, then looked up and said, "That's good, let's take it." ”
"Squid stewed in honey" won!
Immediately afterward, he saw another script.
"The First Love of a Senior Girl".
Yan Jun opened his mouth to explain: "This is an internal S-level project within the company, the male and female protagonists have not yet been decided, tentatively scheduled to start in the second half of this year, the filming period is two and a half months, and 40 episodes are scheduled to be produced, and then they will give you a salary of 800,000 yuan for a single episode after tax." ”
This is actually a lot higher than Lin Qingyuan's current market price of 500,000 yuan for a single episode.
"It adds up to more than 30 million..."Lin Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh at how profitable the actors in domestic entertainment are now.
However, he also knew that the offer of nearly 30 million was actually inflated, because it was the company's internal self-made drama, so Cehua was willing to pay his artists higher than the market price.
After all, no matter how high it is, its own artists are cheaper than male artists from other companies, not that the salary is simply low, but that their own artists take on self-made dramas, and they can take a cut, so it is equivalent to a much cheaper salary.
"The company also wants you to take on more self-made dramas, because then after you develop, they can reduce a lot of costs spent on actors' salaries."
"I'd better read the script first."
To put it simply, it is a love story between an older single woman in her early thirties and a company intern.
The combination of a woman and a man may be able to get a good response in the market, of course, the premise is that the director has to shoot the TV series well and the actors have to play the roles well.
"The company thinks that your age and image temperament are very suitable for the male protagonist of this drama, so it sent you an invitation to the male protagonist without audition, and the company also told me the truth, and there is already a preliminary intention about the candidate for the heroine."
"Who?" Lin Qingyuan was very curious about whether the actor who played the heroine He Fanxing would be Song Qian from the original time and space.
"Yang Mi."
"Yang Mi?" Lin Qingyuan was stunned because he heard a name that he hadn't thought of at all before.
He really didn't expect that the company would directly arrange an internal entertainment evergreen to play with him this time, and help him carry the coffee by the way, this wave of resources is indeed very comfortable.
And the heroine in the play is thirty-two years old, and Yang Mi is just thirty-two years old this year, so she can really match the number...
Lin Qingyuan has already begun to look forward to how much traffic this fully upgraded TV series can bring him.
"She was in contact with the company's film project "Assassination of a Novelist", which is expected to start at the end of this year, and she needed this resource very much, so the company took the opportunity to include this drama in the contract as a bundle regulation.
"So she really agreed?"
"A contract of intent has been signed."
Lin Qingyuan put down the script in his hand and leaned back on the sofa with a comfortable face: "As long as the heroine is Yang Mi, then we should have nothing to hesitate." ”
"That being said, the quality of the script is also very important, and you can't just take the salary and coffee position to determine the quality of a drama." Yan Jun was worried that Lin Qingyuan would go astray by only watching the co-actors take over the script.
"I know, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to take over "The Wandering Earth", which has a filming period of more than three months and a salary of only 500,000 yuan."
"Okay, then the script for the second half of the year will be set first, and then it's your turn to arrange your work this week." Yan Jun took out another stack of documents from his briefcase.
"During this period of the year, we mainly focused on magazine shooting and advertising endorsements."
"We got the covers of "Bazaar Men" and "Fashion Men", and then we are also in contact with ELLE, and we want to help you win the cover resources of "ELLEMEN", of course, if you also win "ELLE" by the way, then we will make a lot of money."
The ten-issue grand slam is actually the sum of the five major women's magazines and the five major men's magazines, and the first three of the four fashion magazines mentioned by Yan Jun are all men's magazines, and only the last "ELLE" is a women's magazine, and the gold content is higher than the above three men's magazines.
"It's all single-person seals?" Lin Qingyuan wanted to make the cover resources he got a little more golden.
"It's all men's magazines, but if ELLE asks you to shoot a double cover, I think you can take it."
"yes, I know." Lin Qingyuan nodded, if they could really get the cover of ELLE as they wished, then with the Harper's Bazaar in front, Lin Qingyuan collected five issues at once, and this speed was also outrageous...
But this kind of thing is more difficult to go back on, especially the "Vogue", which is simply not able to be dragged to the end, and it is especially difficult.
"Finally, you can add a new endorsement brand for digital cameras after a while."
"What brand?"
"Nikon, their new D850 launched this year needs young and traffic stars to endorse."
"So they chose me?" Lin Qingyuan doesn't think that his current traffic is comparable to those top streams.
Yan Jun glanced at Lin Qingyuan, and then said, "They also invited a spokesperson Di Lieba this time. ”
Lin Qingyuan smiled awkwardly: "I'm just adding to it!" She's much more popular than me now..."
"You are just starting out now, and the endorsement fees are very cheap, so they have found two spokespersons at one time, and frankly speaking, this is much more cost-effective than finding Wang Lihong to endorse the product alone."
"It seems to be..."
