Chapter 79: The Male Protagonist and Travel
Yan Ying's audition is over.
The main roles like the first female and second female have been decided, and the other roles except for the male one Minjun must be decided by Qin Muchu, and the rest are handed over to Huayi to choose people.
"Director Qin, the script has been sent, and according to your request, they were given twenty days to prepare, and the film will start on July 3rd.
We also went to Hengdian to rent a venue according to your drawings, and we also went to Hengdian to rent a venue, as well as the makeup artist and costume designer you requested, and we are contacting first-class ...... at home and abroad."
Producer Wang is reporting to Qin Muchu.
"Well, it's been arranged in such a short time, no wonder Mr. Wang values you so much."
Qin Muchu nodded with satisfaction.
The cost of "My Love from the Star" exceeded one million, of which the actor's salary accounted for a small proportion.
The female number one is not very popular, considering that it is the heroine - 30,000 episodes.
This is still Qin Muchu gave a high price, otherwise 20,000 yuan can be negotiated.
Not to mention the second female Tang Yan, now it can almost be said to be a complete newcomer.
Not to mention asking for a salary, when Huayi contacted Orange Sky to sign Tang Yan's second female contract, their surprise was beyond words.
It is estimated that you are willing not to pay for the money.
But Qin Muchu is not a stingy person, with a wave of his hand, he gave the price of two thousand episodes.
Some other supporting roles, then even lower.
For example, Mr. Cui, she originally planned to appear for free, but Qin Muchu was so bad that she agreed to the package price of 20,000 yuan - 20,000 yuan for the whole play, not 20,000 for one episode.
Overall, in the cost of more than one million episodes, the actor's salary accounts for only a fraction, and other expenses account for nearly one million.
So where did the nearly a million dollars go?
The service path occupies a large part.
In this era, domestic idol dramas are still led by Bay Province.
"Meteor Garden", "Fated I Love You", and "The Prince Becomes a Frog" are popular all over the country.
The actors in the play have various "washing, cutting and blowing" hairstyles, extremely long bangs, most of the clothes are jeans, and the makeup is not exquisite.
Qin Muchu, a person who knows the future, of course can't bear these looks that can be called black history when he later recalls.
Therefore, he spent a lot of money to hire the top makeup artists, costume designers, etc., at home and abroad, to design the looks and clothes for the actors in the play according to the images of later stars he has seen.
Try to restore or even surpass the service of the original play.
It's a dimensionality reduction blow to play.
Crush the abnormal aesthetics of this era!
Because Qin Muchu went to the barbershop last time, that teacher Tony was shocked and pulled him to get him a "funeral family" look......
Qin Muchu shuddered unconsciously when he thought of his long colorful hair.
Hurry up and talk to Producer Wang about business:
"You have to look for the male protagonist quickly, it looks younger than Cao Li, young and handsome, but there is also a sense of maturity that does not match the age, do you understand?"
"Well, that, Director Qin, there is a sentence I don't know if to say or not......" Producer Wang looked embarrassed.
"Usually I don't know what to say or not to say, and it's basically not right to say it." Qin Muchu said.
"Well, then I won't ......" Producer Wang was a little embarrassed.
"So next time you have something to say directly, you will know that you have more contact with me, I don't like to go around in circles." Qin Muchu said again.
"Well, yes, yes, I'll pay attention next time." Producer Wang nodded repeatedly.
He looked at Qin Muchu:
"Director Qin, I think according to the conditions you said, you are quite suitable for the male lead"
Seeing that Qin Muchu didn't interrupt him, he continued:
"You're young and handsome, and you're very mature in your speech, and when you say something offensive, sometimes I feel like I'm talking to my peers, not an eighteen-year-old ......"
Qin Muchu frowned:
"Makes sense, but I can't act."
When Producer Wang heard this, he hurriedly said:
"You're both a screenwriter and a director, and you know the heart of the character.
Acting, as long as you know where the camera is, how to move it, and the rest grinds little by little.
And the male protagonist of our show, according to the word you said before, what is it called, Gao ...... High cold! Yes, Gao Leng, isn't that just expressionless? You are acting in your true colors again, and your acting skills are definitely enough! ”
After supervising Wang said this, Qin Muchu also felt that it was very reasonable.
But I still didn't make a decision, and thought about it:
"It's a contingency plan. Don't relax when you look for actors, in the end there is really no suitable one, I'll play it again. ”
"Yes, Director Qin."
……
Quadrangle.
Qin Muchu temporarily put aside the various things of "Star You" and made his own travel plan.
"Hong Kong Island has to go, and there is Wanwan...... RB, well, forget it, don't go abroad.
Xi'an Terracotta Warriors, Big Wild Goose Pagoda......
By the way, I also promised to visit Ban Jiangzai......
You can go to Hengdian to have fun, and by the way, take a look at the shooting location......"
Holding a pen and brush, I kept revising and revising on the paper, and finally, the travel plan was completed.
"That's it!"
Qin Muchu stood up and looked at the altered "travel plan" with a satisfied expression.
Visiting the old baby, Hong Kong Island, Wanwan, Xi'an, and finally going to Hengdian, just filming "Star You".
"Bell bell bell"
The phone rings.
"Xiao Qin, is the casting over?"
It was Zhou Yun who called.
"It's almost over."
Qin Muchu said, and then told her about his travel plan.
"Are you really going to visit?" Zhou Yun was very surprised when he heard Qin Muchu say that he was coming, but as if he thought of something, his tone changed:
"But the movie is about to end in the next two days, and your father is going to RB to find a master to score the movie, I don't know if you can ...... it in time."
Suddenly, Zhou Yun paused and said:
"Your dad is here, let him talk to you."
Then, a familiar Jiang Wen voice came from the phone:
"What's the matter, the TV series is busy?"
"Almost, just practice your hands." Qin Muchu replied.
"That's right, don't be afraid of failure when you're young, it's good to try more." Jiang Wendun taught.
"Well, I think so too, it can't be popular in Asia, and it's okay to be popular all over the Celestial Empire." Qin Muchu agreed.
Unlike "The Gift of Room No. 7", there was a comic-style storyboard when filming that.
It is equivalent to copying homework.
"Star You" was created by him purely from memory.
Although I don't know what the reason is, Qin Muchu's memory of the film and television dramas in his previous life is relatively clear, and he can recall a seven, seven, eighty, eight.
But the rest of the "three, three, two, two" are all created by himself.
Including some lines and plots in the play, they must also be changed to things from the Celestial Empire.
Especially Du Minjun's role in ancient times was completely original to him, placed in the Ming Dynasty four hundred years ago.
Therefore, he is not sure whether the "Star You" that he has overhauled will still be as popular in Asia as in his previous life.
On the other side, Jiang Wen listened to Qin Muchu's words and was silent for a while, as if he had been choked, and then said half-loudly:
"If you talk like that, we won't be able to talk about it for the rest of the day."
Qin Muchu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, I really didn't want to pretend this time, but I got it again."
"Do you still fart? No I left it out! Jiang Wen scolded.
"Am I not going to go to your place to see you? Sister Yun said you were going to RB? ”
Hearing Qin Muchu say this, Jiang Wen became interested, like a child showing off his toys, and said excitedly:
"I'll tell you, I'm going to go to RB to find Jean Hisaishi and ask him to make a soundtrack for "The Sun", it has to be top-notch!
When the time comes, my top-notch movie with a soundtrack, tut-tut-tut......"
In the end, Jiang Wen sighed, as if he had seen the scene when the film won awards at major film festivals after it was completed, and he stood on the podium and said his acceptance speech.
"A top music master? That should be quite expensive, right? "Qin Muchu's focus is always so strange.
"Money is a bastard, art! Art is the most important thing! ”
Jiang Wen despises Qin Muchu, a box office director.
That's right, definitely contempt, not sour.
"Oh yes, art is really the most important thing." Qin Muchu said.
Just when Jiang Wen thought that Qin Muchu had "woken up", he heard Qin Muchu say:
"It's really unlucky that the investor has to pay an extra sum of money."
“……”
Jiang Wen took a few deep breaths, suppressed his boiling emotions, and pretended not to hear what Qin Muchu had just said:
"Go to RB with me? Take you to meet Hisaishi, and you will also find him to score movies in the future, this old man does have a few brushes for soundtracks. ”
"No, no." Qin Muchu decisively refused.
"Why?" Jiang Wen wondered.
"When I went there, the devil begged me respectfully, and I thought about whether to reward them with this face."
"Or will you pretend!" Jiang Wen praised.
"Then I won't go to your place, and I'll see you in Yanjing then." No, I won't go back to Yanjing, filming is in Hengdian, if you come back, if you have time to come to me, let me, the big box office director, give you some attention, and then your movie may be able to lose less. Qin Muchu said.
"You kid ...... special code"
Jiang Wen was so angry that he was about to start talking about the quintessence of the country.
Qin Muchu decisively hung up the phone and interrupted the spell casting:
"That's it, the phone is out of gas!"
He let out a long breath, this feeling of running away after pretending to be forced...... Refreshing!
