87 "My Love from the Star" casting

In mid-January, the filming funds for "My Love from the Stars" were roughly complete.

The current capital is about 26 million, accounting for a total of 55% of the investment share, and the remaining 45% goes to the blue whale.

In addition, the crew also attracted free sponsorship and advertising placement from many brands such as Sina.com, Feixin, Mercedes-Benz, Hollyland, Dior, Versace, and Sony.

Sina.com and Feixin are the most generous, a 3 million + Weibo campaign plan, and a 2 million plan.

The others are more reluctant, with hundreds of thousands of large ones, one or two hundred thousand small ones, and scattered ones can add up to about 3 million.

But even so, a TV series advertising implant absorbs 8 million, which is definitely a big deal in today's TV drama field.

And the reason why "You from the Star" can have such appeal,

On the one hand, Fan Xiaopang, and on the other hand, Wei Yang is not an unknown person.

The two dramas "The Best of Us" and "Orange Sheng Huainan" have been rebroadcast nearly 20 times on national TV stations, with excellent webcast data, and have a strong degree of topic among young people, and are even known as "Campus Youth Idol Drama Model".

For such a project, the advertising effect is much higher than that of ordinary TV series, so the brand will also favor Wei Yang's new work accordingly.

In addition, there is another key point that Weiyang has found a good one, and took the initiative to contact Sina and Mobile, which need to be promoted and exposed, and impressed the relevant persons in charge of these two companies with detailed and accurate advertising placement plans.

Sina is not stingy with money in order to push Weibo.

Not to mention moving, even if it doesn't work, this money is just a sprinkle for them.

Due to the contract formulated in advance, this commercial placement is not a profit, but is included in the shooting cost in the name of Blue Whale, plus a fixed share of the leading production, so Blue Whale can finally get a 45% share.

36 million shooting + publicity costs!

Wei Yang had never had such a rich account in his two lives, and Xia Cong next to him was about to laugh.

He was involved in projects with more production costs, but at that time he was only one of the people in charge of listening, and now he is the chief producer and the second-in-command of the crew.

And the number one leader is naturally Wei Yang, who is also a producer, producer, screenwriter, starring and other positions.

Blue Whale Company, Conference Room

Wei Yang sat in the main seat, Xia Cong and Liu Junjie were on his left and right hands, and the major leaders of the blue whale were sitting under the two, and the atmosphere was very harmonious

Although the blue whale is still uncertain about the future, with a large project of tens of millions in hand, the people in the company at least do not have to worry about being kicked out by the landlord one day.

"Quiet and have a meeting."

Wei Yang knocked on the table, and the conference room immediately fell silent, which was absolutely not available in this prestige when Wei Yang first took over Blue Whale a few months ago.

Although he participated in the production of the two dramas "The Best of Us" and has a certain reputation within the Blue Whale Company, everyone recognizes his talent more.

Talent is talent, and managing a company is another matter.

Wei Yang is a young man who has not yet graduated, more than 90% of the company's employees are older than him, and suddenly became the boss of the company, and it is normal for everyone to have doubts.

But soon Wei Yang used his actual performance to break everyone's suspicions about him.

The starting point was the publicity and distribution of "Orange Life Huainan", and almost under the noses of all the employees of Blue Whale, Zhao Ji, a new flower, was brought out and successfully signed.

After "Orange Life Huainan" became popular, most of the Blue Whale people have recognized Wei Yang as the boss.

But I didn't expect Boss Wei to really show his strength after setting up the project "You from the Star".

rushed to the capital and "prostituted" Fan Xiaopang, a popular flower!

Practiced, brought in 20 million+ funds!

The means are superb, the advertising placement absorbs 8 million, and successfully retains the dominance and income ratio of the blue whale!

The Blue Whale employees were dazzled, and then deeply impressed, Boss Wei's prestige within the company rose rapidly, and he had already crushed Lao Xia.

However, although Wei Yang's prestige is high, he is still slightly inferior to the former boss Lao Zheng in terms of popularity among employees, mainly because he did not arrange for everyone to wash their feet and sing K.

But Boss Wei also said first, Blue Whale [excellent corporate culture] can't be lost.

Now work first, and when the company returns to make solid money, there will be singing K, pinching feet, and even going up to the third floor The company can't consider reimbursement.........

After a satisfied look at the quiet venue, Wei Yang looked at Liu Junjie next to him.

"Director Liu, after the year, all aspects of the crew will start to co-ordinate, ask for money for money, and ask for people to give people."

"No problem."

Liu Junjie nodded, when the blue whale changed before, although Lao Liu did not run away, he was always in a wait-and-see period.

Until the "My Love from the Star" project took shape, Liu Junjie began to be active in the company again.

Wei Yang did not look for the account, the company's prospects are unclear, and it is normal for people to wait and see.

Liu Junjie also had a little affection for Wei Yang before, and Wei Yang always remembered that as long as he came back, he would still be the contracted director + art director of Blue Whale.

"Pay attention to the location, especially the room of the male and female protagonists, more than half of the scenes are filmed here, the aesthetics should be high-end, reflecting luxury and refinement, it is best to find a high-rise near the Huangpu River, you can shoot the river view......"

With abundant funds, Wei Yang's requirements have also increased, even if he spends a little more money, it doesn't matter, the key is quality.

Wei Yang told the clothing and styling again, put forward a lot of requirements, and the last sentence of the summary made the relevant person in charge of the pressure a lot.

"We not only want to make "My Love from the Star" a benchmark for idol dramas in the mainland, but also to lead the fashion."

Wei Yang also knew that this requirement was a bit excessive, so he said that he would also participate in clothing and styling design, and the relevant person in charge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, I talked about casting, and there are actually not many main characters.

The female protagonist Fan Qianqian has been decided, the male protagonist Gu Xi, a professor of psychology at Jiaotong University, is set to be an alien who has lived 500 years since the Ming Zhengde period.

This character's ability to attract fans is better than that of the heroine, the original version of [Professor Du] is popular in Asia, and the actor Kim so-hyun has been promoted to the top of Asia.

Although due to the channel, Wei Yang does not necessarily guarantee that "My Love from the Star" can be as popular in Asia as the original, but he still has a certain degree of confidence in China.

Therefore, this role should be played by himself.

The most pessimistic assumption, even if this drama loses, Wei Yang will accumulate more popularity, and there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future.

In fact, the setting of the male protagonist of "You from the Star" is actually a bit infatuated, which somewhat disrupted Wei Yang's idea of preventing stereotypes and changing the way of playing, but for the sake of the company's great cause, personal career choices can be put back.

And this character is a facial paralysis and sullenness, although he is very infatuated, but unlike Lu Xinghe and Zhang Wansen's personality, he can still perform some different feelings.

In addition to the male and female protagonists, the important roles are the anti-one, the second male and the second female.

The anti-one setting is the heir of the Hongxia Group, with a perverse personality and ruthless means, and his name is Xia Sheng.

There is a small easter egg here, Hongxia looks very similar to Xia, but in fact, Xiamen is the same shark, Hongxia refers to the blue whale, and the word Wei is too dramatic, so let Lao Xia be on top.

This anti-one is a bit crazy, Wei Yang picked it, and his own drama brother Wang Yang played it.

Wang Yang is a student of the 98th grade, who debuted very early, but has been tepid, and later became a late bloomer with dramas such as "Celebrating More Than Years", "Rebel", and "The World".

Wei Yang admires this senior brother very much, he has an outstanding temperament, superb acting skills, and good looks, which is very suitable for those elite roles, and he is not as aggressive as Jin Dong.

As for the second male, in the plot setting, he is the younger brother of the anti-one, and he is also a rich second generation, the female protagonist licks the dog, which is regarded as an infatuated male partner, and the character design is still very pleasing, and it can also attract fans.

Wei Yang has never thought about who to find to play, he must be a handsome guy.

He didn't worry at all about finding a handsome guy to steal the limelight from him, and Boss Wei was more confident in his face than his talent.

Even from the perspective of ratings, Wei Yang intends to contribute a Yangou feast to the audience, and considers finding another drama master, Yan Kuan, or Qiao Zhenyu.

These two are handsome enough, and they are relatively cheap and easy to invite, what Zhong Hanliang, Huo Jianhua, and Hu Ge are too expensive, and they may not be able to invite them.

In addition, there is a second female lead, the setting is that she is a good friend with the heroine, but she is jealous of the heroine behind her back, and she has a crush on the second male, so she has done a lot of things against the heroine.

looks like a vicious female partner, but it also has some shining points, which is half good and half bad, and the final ending is not bad.

Wei Yang originally intended to let Zhao Ji act, after all, he was his own artist, but Zhao Ji took over a TV movie before, and he couldn't move the schedule.

And director Liu Junjie felt that Zhao Ji's gentle temperament did not match the role, and his image was also a little darker and thinner.

Therefore, Wei Yang sent the invitation to a few female artists who knew each other, so they were friends, and the fat water did not flow into the fields of outsiders.

However, Yang Rong and Liu Shishi conflicted with the schedule of "You from the Star".

Xiao Zhao's coffee position is too low, taking over the company's first play, Wei Yang is not very good at directly promoting, and plans to go back and get Huayi there, and then give resources.

The rest is only Tang Yan and Qi Wei who have time, and the price is not too expensive.

Wei Yang thought about it for a while, but still chose Tang Yan.

It's not that I have a better relationship with her, but when "My Love from the Star" is broadcast, "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" will also be broadcast.

Qi Wei's role is limited, not particularly outstanding, and Tang Yan's Zixuan is also a fairy sword and three beauties, comparing the two, it is naturally not difficult to choose.

To some extent, "My Love from the Star" can be regarded as a copy.

Wang Yang is not a big problem, he is not very famous, and he will not refuse to participate in "You from the Stars".

Yan Kuan and Qiao Zhenyu still have to talk about it, after all, these two are not unknown people, it is difficult to say whether they are willing to take this second male, Wei Yang also made an alternative.

This kind of role is not like the heroine, and the effect of others is much worse without Fan Xiaopang.

is an infatuated and handsome male supporting actor, there is really no shortage of such actors in the circle, and they can play a similar role, and it is not impossible to make Li Jiahang on top if he is in a hurry.

After all, a certain eighth school grass also played Er Kang in his previous life.

If it weren't for Zhang Wei's really impressive appearance, he might have taken the idol line.

As for Tang Yan, she promised very happily, and after a phone call, she directly responded without asking about the salary.

Although Wei Yang understands very well that Tang Yan does not have the confidence of Da Mi Mi and Liu Shishi, and her resources are much worse than the two, it is a good thing to be able to match Fan Xiaopang's new drama with her.

But having said that, Wei Yang made a phone call, and as soon as Tang Yan heard that it was Wei Yang's drama, she answered it directly without asking, and her attitude made people feel comfortable.

Especially compared with a certain big honey, Wei Yang's favorability towards Tang Yan has risen.........
