Liang Guanhao did not agree on the spot.

He offered to take a look at the script before speaking.

Xuluo readily agreed to his request and handed him a copy of the script he had with him.

Liang Guanhao was a little surprised by this.

He thought that Xuluo would say something, or he felt that he was not being promoted, but he took the script very sincerely, and it was a complete script, which proved that Xuluo had a plan for a long time.

From this point of view, Liang Guanhao still has enough understanding of the serious mentality of Xuluo in making TV series.

Before leaving, Liang Guanhao asked more about the production of this TV series.

Xuluo immediately pulled the banner.

"Produced by a subsidiary of Eying Studio, we are ready to invite Mr. Wang Fulin to be the director."

Listening to this, Liang Guanhao felt that this young man was reliable.

I'm going to go back and read the script, if it's not too much, then I'm definitely going to take it.

This is still his first TV series role, the villain is a little bit of a villain, nothing.

……

As Liang Guanhao thought, although the character of Fahai is a villain, he is actually not a bad guy.

It's just that Fahai's insistence is different from what everyone likes.

Therefore, he only thought about it for a day, and then gave Xuluo an affirmative answer.

So Xuluo got the second main actor.

Xu Xian's actor Ye Tong was on the side, and Xuluo also found Wang Fatzi to lobby.

The Xiangjiang entertainment circle is not big, and Ye Tong is not a big-name actor, so as long as the salary given to her by Xuluo is in place, Ye Tong has no heart to resist at all.

Especially when she heard that the heroine was Zhao Yazhi, she had no scruples.

Isn't it just an anti-string man?

For an actor, it is a very normal operation.

Of course, Ye Tong's salary is only 20,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode.

Liang Guanhao's salary is even less, and the whole package is only 50,000 yuan.

For this amount, he is already very satisfied.

After all, Liang Guanhao's salary plus performance subsidy is only 432 yuan a month.

The supporting role of a TV series gave him more than 100 months' salary, what else do you want?

The original version of "The Legend of the New White Lady" is basically an actor from Hong Kong Moss.

On Xuluo's side, there must be changes, except for Zhao Yazhi and Ye Tong, the rest are all mainland actors and behind-the-scenes staff.

The combined salary of these people is estimated to be no match for Zhao Ya's remuneration.

It's not that Xuluo treats them differently, in fact, if it is possible, Xuluo will only give Zhao Yazhi a salary of 50,000 yuan.

But is this possible?

Zhao Yazhi is not a fool, let alone Xuluo's mother, it is impossible to use this price to act.

For the smooth filming and broadcast of "The Legend of the New White Lady", Xuluo can only come up with this "sky-high price".

As for the rest, if you can save it, you can save it.

Of course, if it sells well and makes a profit, it is impossible for Xuluo to give them less red envelopes.

This brings us to the issue of funding.

Xuluo sold Xiangjiang's scripts and borrowed 9 million yuan before.

Then he got a total of 8.7 million yuan on the mobile phone patent.

Mom, Kaig, now this money is in Xuluo's hands.

He first gave Xu Feng 4 million as the preparation and filming expenses of "Farewell My Concubine", and prepared another 2 million for the additional expenses prepared for "Farewell My Concubine".

Mi Jiashan was given another 2 million as the preparation and filming of "The Story of the Editorial Department", and another 2 million was prepared for the next "I Love My Home".

The $500,000 he brought back from Miguo is not going to be used for the time being, and in this year, the role of the dollar is much greater than that of the renminbi.

Xu Luo had almost 10 million yuan in his hand, and part of it was left to Zhao Ya

and Ye Tong's salary, the other part is emergency preparation.

The production cost of "The Legend of the New White Lady" may not exceed "Farewell My Concubine", but it is not much worse.

If you add its exterior scenes, plus the part that was originally undertaken by Beijing Film Studio, I'm afraid that five or six million will really not be able to hold it.

But Xuluo is not in a hurry.

Because "The Legend of the New White Lady" will only start filming next year.

Prior to this, I had "The Story of the Editorial Department" to be broadcast in September, and I dare not say anything else, it is feasible to sell it at twice the price.

Then next year, no matter how "Friends" should be broadcast, with the price level of Lao Mei, can't I make two or three million dollars?

So "Friends" is the big head.

I have never doubted its popularity.

It depends on whether Michael Calliton and Chen Xiyue can handle the autumn file.

……

Coincidentally, Xuluo was pondering the Mi Kingdom when he received a call.

"What are you doing?" The beautiful big sister over there asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

"I am studying hard and striving to be a young man with ideals, ambitions and morals in the new era." Xuluo replied seriously.

"Go, go!"

Chen Xiyue scolded funny, "I have to congratulate you, you have succeeded again!"

Xuluo's spirit was shocked: "'Friends' has passed?"

"Hmm!"

Chen Xiyue replied, "NBC has approved 3 pilot episodes, has placed an order for 24 episodes of the first season, priced at 300,000 per episode, and they have given $3.6 million in upfront funds. If the number of viewers exceeds 7 million, the price rises to 500,000; If the number of viewers exceeds 10 million, the price is $1 million per episode; If it exceeds 15 million, it is $2 million. If more than 20 million people watch it, the price will be negotiated."

After a pause, Chen Xiyue said, "The terms of the termination of the contract are also very harsh. If the number of viewers does not reach 4 million for three consecutive episodes, then the contract will be terminated immediately."

"How much does one of our episodes cost?" Xuluo asked, he didn't ask if he could reach 4 million at all, if "Friends" was so weak, how could it shoot so many seasons?

"So far, the cost of an episode is $250,000, but it will be much less in the future." Chen Xiyue said frankly: "According to the price of 300,000 episodes, we will not actually lose, but it is just a small profit to protect the capital. …… But if there is a second chance to rerun, then we will make pure money, and according to Cleighton, at least 100,000 dollars per episode."

The TV series of the production company purchased by the Miguo Public Television Network is only the first broadcast copyright, and the rest of the second, third, videotape and other peripheral rights and interests are reserved by the production company.

In a certain way, this is also an important reason for promoting the flowering of Miguo TV dramas everywhere and the emergence of high-quality products.

Profit is always the driving force of people's hearts.

"What is the approximate level of the 7 million viewers?" Xuluo asked.

Chen Xiyue said: "Last year, the number of viewers ranked 10th in the country was around 13 million. With 7 million viewers, you can enter the top 30, and if you have 10 million, you will almost stay around 15."

Xuluo smiled wryly, "It seems that their requirements are really not low."

Chen Xiyue also said, "Yes! But if we don't give up such a big benefit and don't sign this unequal treaty, we won't be able to squeeze into the autumn slot. …… ABC proposed that it could be placed in the spring file, and the guaranteed price could also be increased to 400,000 per episode, but we refused. If you don't get the money, you won't be able to continue the filming later."

After a pause, she smiled and said, "Besides, we believe in you too! You say it's very good and it will be brilliant, and that's right!"

Xuluo smiled dumbly.

He had already thought about it.

"Friends" can appear in the restart of his memory, and he can make himself watch it with relish, and it feels no worse than "Seinfeld", that

It is at least one of the top 10 dramas in the number of viewers in Miguo.

That's why he is so confident that Chen Xiyue and Michael Kelai will come to the autumn file.

If you follow what Chen Xiyue said, Xuluo feels that even if it is only the first season, the guarantee of "Friends" will be around 10 million on average, and maybe it will be able to rush to 15 million!

However, the 20 million estimate is still a little worse.

But who can say for sure?

Xuluo had great hopes for this.

But there is a point.

NBC's upfront fee is too low, only $3.6 million, and even if you add the $3 million given by Xuluo, it can only finish the first season of "Friends".

Xuluo's plan to extract 10,000 dollars from it completely failed.

Considering that the autumn file of Miguo will not be broadcast until February next year, if it does not get 7 million viewers, it will be able to get the final payment of 3.6 million by then, but it will be able to catch up with Xuluo's production of "The Legend of the New White Lady".

As for repaying the loans of several bosses in Xiangjiang, I'm afraid I have to back down.

Thinking of this, Xu Luo didn't feel a little melancholy.

It is really not enough for a reborn person to be unable to complete the first step of wealth accumulation for a year or two, and he has to raise money tightly.

Unexpectedly, what Chen Xiyue said was not finished.

In his thoughts, she continued, "And then there's the second piece of good news, the 'The Walking Dead' you sent, Creighton has read it and thinks it's very good, but he doesn't think it's the best choice."

Xuluo was stunned, "What should I do then?"

"Out of the comics!" Chen Xiyue said firmly: "Directly submit to the comic company and tell this zombie story in the form of comics, so that it will be more impactful and can better let the audience appreciate this story."

"Manga ......"

Xuluo thought for a moment and asked her, "That's good, but aren't comic book companies, such as DC and Marvel, demanding and having to get the copyright?" I don't want to lose my copyright just to publish a comic."

Chen Xiyue smiled, "I knew you would say that! Clayton suggested that you invest in a new comic company, Dark Horse Comics, which only publishes your comics and shares your comic books, and they don't ask you for any copyright."

"So good?" Xuluo couldn't believe it, this is unrealistic!

"Well, their boss is tired of these domineering regulations of DC and Marvel, so he specially set up such a comic company, and many emerging comic artists with ideas in Mi Guo are willing to submit to them. Now Dark Horse Comics is already in the top 10 of Mikoku Comics!"

Listening to Chen Xiyue's explanation, Xuluo steadied at this moment: "Okay! Then do it! Initial royalties or something, we can all give in first, and wait until the results are good, my request is ......."

"It has to be published as soon as possible, right?" Chen Xiyue answered him.

Xu Luo smiled wryly: "Sister, you also know that I have this habit."

Chen Xiyue smiled: "I really don't know why you have such a broken habit, it's like if you don't publish or produce and broadcast at the moment, you won't have a chance in the future!" You've got a lot to lose about it!"

Xu Luo didn't dare to say the real reason, he said, "Sister, we make money abroad, and we always settle in our pockets first, and those who are in our pockets are ours."

"Whatever you want!"

Chen Xiyue didn't think about it, in fact, Xuluo's idea was also very appealing to her.

Chinese people can't change their deep-rooted thinking outside, and being cautious is a very basic operation.

In fact, Chen Xiyue also agrees with publishing "The Walking Dead" in comics first.

Xuluo told her that this was actually a script.

It's just that a script is released for no reason, where is it better to come up with a complete story and cultivate fans first?

Present

"Jurassic Park", isn't it a typical example?
