Chapter 237: Borrowing
Meng Wen and his entourage arrived at the hotel, and under the leadership of the waiter, they came directly to the large private room that had been booked before, and it was no problem to sit sixteen or seventeen people.
Entering the private room, everyone was not polite, they each found a seat and sat down, Meng Wen, Tang Huan, Liu Hao and the three men sat together, Ouyang Die, Meng Xue dormitory four people and Yuan Xiaoqing three sisters sat together. At the intersection of men and women, Meng Wen and Ouyang Die are next to each other, and there are several seats vacant between Liu Hao and Meng Xue on the other side.
Meng Xuezhi's so-called sitting so far away was mainly to be able to be next to Liu Qian for a while. After Zhao Xinming and his entourage came after a while, the men definitely sat next to Liu Hao in turn, and the women could only sit next to Meng Xue. Meng Xue has a great chance to be next to Liu Qian.
Everyone sat in the private room, chatting with each sentence while drinking tea. The four of Meng Xue's dormitory got together and talked to themselves, but the three sisters of Yuan Xiaoqing were a lot quieter, and with Tang Huan's warning, they were basically in a state of listening.
Meng Wen watched the time early, and he was not in a hurry to order, after hearing about Kuying's self-made online drama plan from Tang Huan in the morning, Meng Wen was thinking about what to shoot himself. Now that my big words have been released, this time Cool Shadow has made a lot of money, if you don't pick a good online drama, you will likely be compared to Cool Movie, and your face will be lost at that time.
Meng Wen recalled the dramas in his previous life in the afternoon, considering his current shooting level, the most suitable is the pure spoof "Diao Silk Man", "Diao Silk Man" does not need any plot connection, just a series of wonderful short films of one or two minutes, the shooting is simple, the important thing is those funny ideas, but it is also a piece of cake for Meng Wen.
Although Meng Wen watched "Diao Silk Man" in his previous life, deep down he didn't like this kind of pure spoof online drama too much. This is also why Meng Wen chose "Waste Wood Brothers" instead of "** Silk Man" when filming online dramas before, and "Waste Wood Brothers", which is also an online comedy, is undoubtedly a little more connotative.
But one thing is undeniable, that is, Meng Wen doesn't like it, it doesn't mean that others don't like it. In the previous life, "Diao Silk Man" deservedly ascended to the throne of online dramas with more than 100 million hits per episode. Its billions of views at every turn are all proof that the audience loves it.
This time, Meng Wen wanted to fight Cool Shadow, as well as Wang Lianhai and his son. I don't care about my own preferences, as long as the number of clicks can surpass them, everything else is a floating cloud. The only difficulty now is to find those cameo star characters.
In the previous life, "Diao Silk Man" was so popular, on the one hand, it catered to the appetite of countless ** silk, and on the other hand, a large number of stars joined, these stars brought a lot of attention to "** Silk Man" and attracted huge popularity.
In the previous life, Dapeng invited these big-name celebrities to make cameos, some of them were his friends, and some of them were the resources of the investor Sohu. These celebrities and big names are all free cameos, or just a symbolic appearance fee, otherwise these celebrities' salaries alone will not be able to come down without millions of dollars.
Because Meng Wen has not yet begun to write the script, but in Meng Wen's impression, there must be at least 40 stars who appeared in the first season of "Diao Silk Man". Not to mention inviting so many stars, it is a big problem to coordinate the schedules of these stars.
I don't seem to know a few stars in the film and television industry, except for Liu Qian, and then there is Wang Ting's father, who is an old TV actor. In addition, they are the characters in "Waste Wood Brothers" who are popular, the three male protagonists Li Longteng, Wang Qiang, and Hong Weide, and the heroines are Wang Ting and Ouyang Die.
In Meng Wen's initial concept, he wanted to use his connections in the music industry to find a group of beautiful and handsome guys in the music industry to play cameo roles. The number of people is set at about 30. The candidates in this regard are mainly concentrated in the artists under Tang Huan and the artists of Zhao Xinming's company. In addition, I also have to write the theme song, background music and songs used in the show for "Diao Silk Man", etc., and use these songs to attract a group of real music industry names.
The remaining 20 or so film and television stars finally have to ask Tang Huan for help, Tang Huan has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, it should not be a problem to find more than a dozen film and television stars. This is completely a matter of fighting for connections, if you let Meng Wen find it by himself, Meng Wen can also find it, but it costs money, and people don't know you, and they don't have a relationship with you, so why should they play it for you for free.
Thinking of this, Meng Wen said to Tang Huan: "Brother Tang, it's okay now, let's talk about business?"
Tang Huan repeated with some doubts: "Serious business?" The two seem to have nothing else to do except for the company's cooperation, could it be that Meng Wen promised to write a song for himself?
In Tang Huanzheng's thoughts, Meng Wen continued: "Yes, it's about this web drama. ”
"Oh, that's what you say. Tang Huan said, "You just pat, of course I raised my hands to support." ”
Meng Wen saw that Tang Huan was happy, and said angrily: "You just raise your hands and move your mouth, you have to be practical." ”
"No, Long Shao. You are the best at filming online dramas, how can I help?" Tang Huan finished speaking, and after thinking about it, he said again: "Are you going to borrow money? It's not right, your novel manuscript fee and song income are about to come down, this money should be enough." Tang Huan vetoed himself.
Meng Wen ignored Tang Huan's speculation, and said directly: "I'm not borrowing money, I want to borrow people!" I need a lot of characters to make cameos in this online drama, and these roles must at least be played by well-known popularity in the entertainment industry, of course, it is better to have big names." ”
"That's not easy to say, aren't all people at this table ready-made, you can just pick and choose. Not enough for a while, didn't Zhao Xinming bring anything else?" Tang Huan said indifferently.
"It's just a few, I've said it, I need a lot, at least forty or fifty!" Meng Wen said.
Tang Huan said in shock: "How many? forty or fifty." Long Shao, are you making a movie or an online drama, you don't want to think that forty or fifty characters will have celebrities to make cameos, right?"
Meng Wen looked at Tang Huan's surprised appearance and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily. Celebrities in society are also okay, anyway, as long as they meet one requirement, that is, they must be well-known. ”
Tang Huan was relieved when he heard that it was not necessarily. Hearing the latter words, I almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. Invite celebrities in society, it is better to invite celebrities. Famous people, who is watching your online drama!
