The following period of time was an intensive contract with advertisers, who were not invited by bidding, but were directly invited by Yishanyi Media.

For those companies that Zheng Xu doesn't know, those who are not familiar with them, don't even think about it, and don't take you to play at all.

This has screened out some inferior corporate sponsors at the root.

For the rest, clothing sponsorship, Flashing Media has signed nearly ten clothing companies, and the scale of these companies is not big when taken out alone, but small also has small benefits.

Each of them sponsors several sets of clothing, and when the time comes, Zhang Li, the vase role, will rely on them to sponsor the daily clothes, and the sponsorship fees ranging from 100,000 yuan per family add up to a total of not a small amount.

Excluding clothing sponsors, there are also sponsorships from several of Zheng Xu's friends, car sponsorships, and so on.

In addition to the sponsorship of Want Want Group, in order to compensate for the sponsorship of real estate developers last time, the city brought a more fierce one to Zheng Xu!

Evergrande Real Estate!

Speaking of the big boss of this enterprise, Zheng Xu is also a fellow countryman, and he is developing in the south, although he is not close, he can talk about his fellow countryman when he goes out.

This Boss Xu has also been obsessed with football in the past two years and has set up a football club by himself.

Two years ago, I returned to my hometown to develop real estate, and this time I was invited by the city to participate in Zheng Xu's project.

After reading Zheng Xu's project plan, without saying a word, he took out a real estate building very arrogantly and took it casually!

People don't care if it's a ghost or not!

The sponsorship fee is also 20 million in one go!

In the end, a bit of a calculation, good guy, the new drama has not started filming yet, only advertising sponsorship fees, and tens of millions of dollars have been collected first.

At least the money for the fighter jets is more than enough!

........................

At the beginning of June, the internal meeting of Flashing Media was completed, and all the preparations for the new drama had been completed, and it was only time to start work!

Some of the personnel began to go out to arrange the venue, and the location of the real estate taken out by Boss Xu was a little off, but fortunately, there was no need to go to the field, and the belongings used were transferred to the past several times.

The remaining main actors held a script reading meeting within the company.

Now this reading is also left in form, except for the two new actresses, the others... Everyone is familiar with it.

Zheng Xu sat at the top, looked at his phone absentmindedly, and was about to end today's reading meeting, when he looked up, he saw Lei Mu just raising his hand, a little funny and wanted to speak.

"All the bells and whistles, let it go if there is a fart, and raise your hand..."Zheng Xu glared at Lei Mu.

"Dao'er... I found out that this time you finally don't have to shoot the scene where you came up and hung up..."

Lei Mu didn't know what to think, and suddenly mentioned this stubble.

Except for the two new actresses who don't understand this stalk, the rest of the people present are a little unable to hold back after listening to Lei Mu's words!

Since his debut, Zheng Xu has filmed five dramas, two of which died, and the others are also villains.

The mortality rate in the play is as high as 40%!

After listening to Lei Mu's words, Zheng Xu gritted his teeth and said gloomily: "I suddenly feel that the male protagonist's image is a little problematic, it seems to be more suitable for Lei Jiayin, Xiaomu, you two have a good relationship, you call Jiayin, let him come back early, take over your role, and you go behind the scenes." ”

"Brother!!

Lei Mu stood up, ran to Zheng Xu's side very doggedly, and pressed his shoulder: "Big brother, you are my own brother, I am playing with you... With Da Lei's appearance, where is it suitable to play a zombie, I have to come, Da Lei is busy making money outside, let him be busy. It's enough to have me at home!! ”

Zheng Xu glanced at him: "I'm also playing with you..."

Seeing that these two people actually got into trouble, Wang Ou couldn't stand it anymore, although they were all her own people, she still paid more attention to maintaining Zheng Xu, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, what does it look like, Xiaomu go back and sit down." ”

Remu looked at her, didn't dare to refute, and honestly returned to his seat.

Wang Ou glanced around, and saw that everyone was looking at her, before he spoke: "Can we start this boot press conference?" ”

Twinkle and Twinkle Media, or to be precise, Zheng Xu has a bad problem, he doesn't like to hold a start-up press conference, like the crew outside, holding various press conferences, and before preparing to shoot a new drama, announce a makeup photo, talk about the name of the play, the cast or something.

The last time I started the press conference, it seemed that I was still filming "Heartless Dao", right?

How did it open at that time, like nonsense, several assistant directors set up cameras under the stage, Zheng Xu took a few people to the stage, took a few photos, and sent them to the penguin video, which is the end of the matter!

You said he opened it, people have photos, it's open, you say he didn't open it, he didn't say anything, he just posed and took a few photos, everyone was not famous at that time, and several "group performances" in the audience were still unknown to the outside world, and they could still get by.

Now even these "group performances" are a little famous, how can they pretend.

Zheng Xu didn't take it seriously at all, and waved his hand: "It's still the same, take a photo, what kind of press conference will it only cause trouble for us to shoot, and when the reporter surrounds us on the set, isn't it a delay?" ”

Wang Ou frowned and looked at Zheng Xu, and nodded a little helplessly, forget it, so be it.

..................

In Zheng Xu's original world, in the late 90s of the last century, there was a Hong Kong film drama, which was still very influential back then!

It's just that when I watched this film at that time, the "young and ignorant" Zheng Xu only cared about watching the fight scenes, and ignored the long-legged young lady!

It's like a child watching Ultraman only looking at Ultraman and monsters, and the "big kid" only watching the little sister in the Ultraman Garrison.

At that time, this drama was filmed three times, but with the development of the times, this drama was gradually forgotten.

It's not that it's not popular, but this theme was not allowed to be filmed later!

Not even a theme like ghosts, but now, it's different in this world, and now Zheng Xu can shoot boldly with confidence!

Back then, this "I Have a Date with a Zombie" had a great influence!

And the subject matter is very appetizing to Zheng Xu!

Why did you choose the drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie" for the new drama?

First of all, the subject matter is suitable, this is a drama with an urban background!

Advertisers are well arranged!

This congenitally occupies the advantage of commercial films, not that costume dramas are not good for commercial films, but that modern themes are easier!

You can also insert more product placement ads in the plot!

For the rest, Zheng Xu is familiar with the war scenes, fighting scenes, and fighting scenes that appear in this drama!

His first drama is "Tomb Road", with the theme of tomb robbery, which is related to the urban theme, which is somewhat experienced.

The second "Heartless Daochang", a modern ghost, fantasy, romantic drama, a little fight scene and fighting drama!

This theme is also the most successful drama he has made.

Needless to say, "Hot Afternoon" and "Above the Yellow Sea" are both urban themes, although the filming locations are different, but the core shooting experience is universal.

The last "Why Did They Die in Yanguo", to be precise, is an anti-Japanese war drama, with a certain number of war scenes, but it was only a small scene filmed at that time, which can be regarded as passing over some scenes of quelling riots.

But a war drama is a war drama!

Some of the people under him, the props team or something, after this exercise, they can deal with some small scenes of war scenes, and they can already do without external support!

In this way, several dramas he has filmed before, and the things and experiences he has practiced can be used in this drama!

Isn't it a coincidence?

This kind of thing is like reviewing before the exam, and after reviewing the key points of several subjects, it is just time to take a thorough exam!

And the content of the exam happens to be the key content that has been reviewed!

Zheng Xu also wants to see how far he, and his team can film this drama now.

Or can it surpass the original.

And there are a lot of interesting supporting roles in this drama, and the company's actors can arrange them!

Now even the problem of character resources has been solved!

The most important thing left is the broadcast platform, if it is broadcast on the TV station, Zheng Xu will definitely not dare to choose this drama.

But it's different when playing on online video platforms, this scale can be slightly larger!

After all, most of the people who are online are young people now!

What do young people watch?

Love!

Magic!

Ghosts!

That's all selling point!

Since he agreed to Wang Jie to make a commercial film, Zheng Xu will definitely not cheat him.

After all, it is not easy to turn out a TV series that meets his current situation in all aspects.

As for whether he will lose his weight in filming this kind of drama now?

Does that matter?

Who stipulates that directors can only make films?

The current domestic film market, to put it mildly, is monopolized by the major top film and television production companies, generally no company with two brushes dares to play movies, then the end, there is a high probability that it will lose very badly, whether it can be released or not, not to say, even if it is released, how much money can it make?

Not to mention ordinary companies, even those top domestic film and television production companies, losing one or two movies will also hurt their muscles and bones, and they will collapse, and the risk in this line is too great.

And completely uncontrollable.

The pool of the domestic film industry is so small, it is full of predators, Zheng Xu doesn't want to go down and mix with them at all, not to mention how much meat he can't eat, and he makes a commotion, no!

Wait for Director Xu's "Thai Embarrassment" to be released this year, and then take a look at the situation, let him explore the way first, and see if Director Xu can muddy the water.

In this era, a movie with a box office of hundreds of millions is already a big hit!

Remove production costs, cinema sharing, publicity and distribution costs. How much is left?

Although it is said that the compulsion of making movies is very high, in Zheng Xu's opinion, now these people are just dying to save face and suffer crimes, and if they are forced to make a movie, what about the money?

Like more than ten years later, the box office of the movie is billion, billions of box office, in the current view, it is a fantasy!

Zheng Xu's planned route is that in China, he will make TV series when he makes money, and even if he makes movies, he has to jump out, try to go abroad to make movies, and not mix in the domestic pool.

In this way, at least you don't have to grab food with a bunch of bigwigs, and you won't have a grudge, and you can guarantee it.

When the domestic market is basically bigger, he will kill a horse pistol, and when the pool is bigger, with his status, he can naturally add in.

.................

Right now, filming this "I Have a Date with a Zombie" is to make money!

When the audience is happy, Zheng Xu is also happy, and other sponsors are also happy to advertise!

Isn't that enough?

As for word-of-mouth, Zheng Xu doesn't care anymore, when the time comes, even if the word-of-mouth is low, when he makes money, he will make a deeper movie, and everything will come back!

Make money, don't shudder.

"I Have a Date with a Zombie" is an improved version of the traditional zombie film.

And when it comes to traditional zombie movies, in another world, there is a person who can't be avoided.

Uncle Ying!

Zheng Xu remembered that Uncle Ying, a Taoist professional, starred in the film, all of which were classics, but unfortunately they were a bit out of time.

If it is filmed a few decades later, now, Uncle Ying's zombie movie universe will not be worse than the series of movies in the Marvel universe!

One of the things that impressed him the most.

I remember once reading a post on the Internet, and some viewers posted that Uncle Ying's zombie film was real, and the props were good!

If you never get tired of watching it, the audience will be curious.

How do you think this kind of film could be made in that era?

Even the special effects are good.

And under this post, there was a message from a netizen at that time, Zheng Xu thought about it for a long time after reading it, and he was very scary.

This netizen replied: Why do you think they are all acting? Could it be that some real "things" were taken for real shooting?

Zheng Xu doesn't comment on these things, but when it comes to zombie films, this audience is very wide!

First of all, this is not the kind of pure horror movie that is just scary for the sake of being scary.

Zombies, what you see is the fighting and fighting methods between Taoist priests and zombies.

And the drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie" took a different approach and arranged the identity of the male protagonist as a zombie.

The saying is borrowed, zombies are both good and evil, before becoming zombies, the more righteous people are, the more positive they are after becoming zombies!

Vice versa.

But this is positive, and it will be somewhat contaminated with the evil spirit of zombies.

The male protagonist Guo Guohua was the captain of the guerrillas during the Anti-Japanese War, in order to protect the son of the farmer He Fusheng, he fought a separate battle with the Japanese invader Kazuo Yamamoto, and defeated Kazuo Yamamoto, and the son of the farmer He Fusheng was held hostage by Kazuo Yamamoto.

Under duress, Guo Guohua put down his gun and was shot and wounded by Kazuo Yamamoto, and when he was about to die, the zombie generals appeared and sucked the blood of the three people dry!

Madonna, the contemporary descendant of the exorcist clan, rushed to the scene, although she repelled the generals.

But there was no trace of Guo Guohua and He Fusheng.

Madonna knew that those who were bitten by the generals would also become zombies, and predicted that the future would be troubled from now on.

This is where the plot begins.

After the male protagonist Guo Guohua woke up, he found that he was not dead, and the enemy Kazuo Yamamoto also disappeared, and took He Fusheng and the two depended on each other.

Later, it was discovered that after the two were bitten by the zombie king's generals, they also became zombies, and they lived on blood.

Later, under the pseudonym Guo Tianyou, he joined the Xiangjiang police and took He Fusheng to live in Xiangjiang.

..................

The background setting of this drama Zheng Xu is not ready to make a big move, although the setting of the two major exorcism families in the south and north of Malaysia, that is, the mutant Taoist, is a bit ridiculous, but this does not involve real religion, it is all apocryphal!
