Big investment, big production, word-of-mouth guarantee, newcomer ascension!

Although strictly speaking, he has only filmed the White Snake TV series once, Zhang Rilong's reputation is very useful in the industry.

Soon, Beijing, Magic City, Shencheng, Guangcheng, and Chuancheng, which has always wanted to create entertainment media culture, many places began to inquire about the news.

Costume drama!

After knowing that Zhang Rilong was going to shoot a costume drama and a romantic drama, everyone patted their thighs.

"This is reliable!"

Although Zhang Rilong moved, Liu Suifeng still didn't know where to find out Zhang Rilong's latest address.

In addition to Liu Suifeng, there are also leaders who are on the play.

How do you say that?

It's all their people out there.

"Your place is too small, why don't you change to a bigger house?" After Liu Suifeng entered the house, he expressed his disapproval of the three-bedroom room.

Zhang Rilong said casually: "It's convenient to climb the stairs, I have a habit of exercising, and this elevator is often broken, take the stairs when you go down, don't break it halfway." ”

Qin Duoyi said: "It's okay, we have already asked people to repair it before they come up." ”

Zhang Rilong said speechlessly: "Please sit down, the leaders of the play and Mr. Liu have something to say, I only have cold water here, so I won't take it out." ”

Qin Duoyi asked, "Do you know me?" ”

Zhang Rilong said: "I saw it at the school party last year, and I saw you go out to breathe when I saw you on stage, but I didn't hear anything specific. ”

Liu Suifeng knew Zhang Rilong's temper, and after sitting down, he said: "Then I'll say it directly, it's not easy to find you, this time I want to know your general thoughts." ”

Zhang Rilong sat down and leaned on the armrest of the sofa with one hand, "For example?" ”

Liu Suifeng said: "For example, the general script. ”

Zhang Rilong thought for a while, "It's roughly the story of a young swordsman meeting a fairy, and then adventuring all the way, the final ending is a little tribulation, and the final reunion will be happy." ”

The original work is not a happy ending, and the tragedy may be more impressive, but Zhang Rilong thought about it seriously and decided to end the group members, and he will try his best to take this kind of happy ending in the future, and the current audience can't accept such a profound tragic ending.

Liu Suifeng asked, "Have you thought of a name?" ”

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy." Zhang Rilong said his original name.

Liu Suifeng is more down-to-earth, and the name sounds inexplicably reliable.

"Is a billion enough?" Liu Suifeng asked if the money was enough.

In this era, there are more than one billion big productions.

One billion sounds like a bluff, but in this day and age, with a word count of more than one million, it can be calculated in yen.

In this magical era where funds are extremely concentrated, there is no money at the bottom, and there is money at the top that cannot be spent, so there are not only a general monthly salary of four or five thousand, but also more than one billion celebrities who don't take things seriously.

Liu Suifeng said: "In high-cost TV series, one episode is more than 100 million, just the salaries of several major stars add up, each episode will go out 40 or 50 million, 100 million is too little, right?" ”

When Lin Yaru was invited alone, she almost emptied all the money, and Lin Yaru at that time was not a first-line star, just a second- or third-tier star.

The cost of a big star is higher, and if a drama has more than five first-line stars, the salary will rise.

Because between big-name stars, there will be drama.

A star has four or five million a day, and sometimes he may not be able to finish an episode in a day, and a few more can add up to hundreds of millions.

People can sing two or three million songs for a few minutes, how can they not make money?

Zhang Rilong said directly: "Use newcomers, this can reduce costs, I think newcomers are easier to fight, and they are more willing to seize opportunities, and if they are all old faces, it is easy for the audience to be confused with the roles they played before." ”

Qin Duoyi said happily: "This is indeed more cost-effective, now there are many trainees in major companies, and there are also many young people in the performance department of major universities. ”

Liu Suifeng thought for two seconds, "Then it's still you who chooses?" ”

Zhang Rilong nodded, "Of course, I don't care who invests, and I don't care who makes money with me, I definitely want to make money, and I also want to keep my reputation, I will personally check the quality of the TV series, and the actors are also up to me." ”

Liu Suifeng said: "We don't have an opinion on this, and the above doesn't care about this, the request for me to negotiate with you is a matter of the plot and the scene, last time the White Snake Legend didn't run the whole province, this time it means that you will take care of several other places in the province, and someone has raised opinions with the province, and the development is uneven." ”

Zhang Rilong frowned, "I don't understand this, what do you mean?" ”

Liu Suifeng explained: "The map is a little bigger, but it is as much as possible in Zhejiang Province, and it is required to name several scenic spots and scenic spots, and the rain and dew are evenly wet." ”

Zhang Rilong understood, and the people above still watched according to the tourism promotional video.

This can't be helped, it was famous for this from the beginning.

Zhang Rilong nodded and said: "Yes, you can choose the general scene, and it is required to have an ancient manor pavilion, an island, as well as an inn and a broken temple in the peach forest, these should be easy to find." ”

Liu Suifeng said again: "In terms of actors, try to use people from Zhejiang Province. ”

Zhang Rilong said indifferently: "I can't help this, if you choose an actor and look at the household registration, then I have a lot less choice, and besides, I, the director, am not from Zhejiang Province, don't be so picky." ”

"It means as much as possible, not that it doesn't have to be like this." Liu Suifeng explained: "Last time, Lin Yaru's incident had a very bad impact. ”

Zhang Rilong said unhappily: "Then it's not Lin Yaru's problem, the script and the actors who get in the way are all your people, why don't you think about whether you are a local at this time?" ”

Liu Suifeng said calmly: "I know this, but the bad result has indeed appeared, try to use our people, so it is more convenient to publicize it." ”

Zhang Rilong said indifferently: "It depends on the situation, I don't guarantee this, I can't say this thing at the edge of the eye, suitable is appropriate, you don't want that kind of thing to happen again, right?" ”

Zhang Rilong was afraid, he didn't want to be bullied by the Internet, so the finale did not end with the initial tragedy.

Modern people, how can they accept such a profound ending, forget it.

Liu Suifeng also nodded and said: "You don't have to worry about the investment, we will prepare the funds and the production team, when are you going to start?" ”

Zhang Rilong said: "I have roughly written the script, I will send you the characters I need, I can go to interview the actors when I have a break on the weekend, you find someone to talk about the salary, I am only responsible for the selection, script, music, and finally get the money, the director can find a professional to be responsible, I don't have time to watch it all the time." ”

Liu Suifeng asked: "This is not the fixed script of the White Snake Legend, last time it was an old wine in a new bottle, if you don't watch it, you won't watch it, how can you do it if you don't watch it this time?" ”

Zhang Rilong took out his mobile phone to send a document, "It's okay, it's okay to follow the script, I don't care about anything, I will watch the first few episodes remotely, just as if it is an online office, and I will fly over to see it on weekends, anyway, it's not far away." ”

Liu Suifeng couldn't help it, "Then let's do it first, in addition to the people who are in the play, we also have a well-known media college in Hangzhou, and there are more people." ”

Different from schools such as Shangju and Beiju, the media college in Zhejiang Province has more than 10,000 students, which is under the jurisdiction of the provincial capital, with media and art majors as the backbone, and the coordinated development of culture, economics, industry and management.

It can be said that the four famous schools are the top level of the volume, and the students of those media and art schools in universities across the country are all part of the volume.

A place like the entertainment industry is not only a stage for students from several famous schools, but also a holy place for hundreds of thousands of art students and related majors.

Some people, who have worked hard all their lives, have not even been close to the edge of the stage, and have been staring at the wide stage illuminated by the flash lights at the edge of the darkness, staring at the handsome men and women in bright clothes on it.

Zhang Rilong understood what the local forces represented by Liu Suifeng were going to do.

They want to make money, and they want to improve the popularity of several scenic spots, not only to come up with high-quality works to promote the momentum, but also to brush the reputation of the local school, and support the local film and television school to brush a few stars as an enrollment propaganda outlet.

For many people, not only improving tourism is a factor, but also helping to support local colleges is also a very important assessment factor.

All things considered, money doesn't matter.

Zhang Rilong can succeed this time, don't say one billion next time, even if it is an investment of two billion, someone will give it.

"If he looks appropriate, his acting skills are fine, and he is willing to work hard, I don't care which school or place he is."

Zhang Rilong still insists on his rights, everything is based on the premise that TV dramas can be popular, which is the foundation of everything.
