In the whole "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", there are mainly five starring actors, the heroine Shen Zhu, Li Jiao, the king of Guangping, Murong Linzhi, the princess of Jianning, Dugu Jingyao, the daughter of the king of Yunnan, and Li Qi, the king of Jianning.

Other characters, twenty!

Except for a few finalized people, other roles are auditioned.

Now the salary of TV dramas has been increasing in recent years.

Like Zhang Guoli, Chen Baoguo, Chen Daoming, Li Baotian, Siqin Gaowa, etc., the salary is 10~150,000 RMB/set, Li Youbing, Li Xuejian, Tang Guoqiang, Jiang Wenli, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, Sun Li, etc. 20,000~100,000 RMB/set.

Hu Ge is a popular student, popular enough, this year's "Fairy Sword 3", the salary is said to be only 40,000 yuan / episode, probably because the Tang people filmed, the salary will be lower, but Hu Ge's salary no matter how good the salary is, the salary has not reached 100,000 yuan / set.

Liu Yifei, who is popular enough and starlight strong enough, is also paid at 30,000~50,000 yuan/episode, and I heard that he starred in "The Condor Heroes", and the salary is only 8,000 yuan/episode.

But Zhang Dabeard's drama is like this, no matter how big a star is, when he goes to his crew, the salary has to be greatly reduced, and he is even willing to get zero pay!

The audition attracted a lot of people.

There are too many people who want to be stars, and there are too few film and television dramas.

It belongs to the monks with more porridge and less porridge.

Fifteen roles attracted hundreds of people to audition.

After all, "Sito" is a big hit, and Li Hao can be regarded as famous, and now he wants to start filming a new drama, which is naturally attractive.

"It's time to go!" With Li Hao's order.

Soon, a staff member began to call people.

There was a knock on the door outside.

Then a very pretty-looking girl walked in.

"Hello four teachers, I'm Shu Chang, 22 years old this year, I'm here to audition for the role of Murong Linzhi."

A different color flashed in Li Hao's eyes.

He is naturally no stranger to this one, although he is about the same age as Jing Tian, but he has been famous for many years.

As early as 2003, she starred in the TV series "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" in the role of Concubine Dong E, and in recent years, she has become a star with costume dramas such as Xiaoyu in "Baolian Lantern" and Jingwei in "Jingwei Reclamation", and it can be said that she has rich acting experience.

Li Hao didn't expect that Shu Chang, who had been playing the heroine constantly, would come to audition for a supporting actress.

He looked at Shu Chang carefully, this woman is not the kind of amazing at first glance, but it is very attractive, and the more you look at it, the more flavorful it becomes.

Of course, Li Hao was very surprised, because in his mind, the glory of the Tang Dynasty, Murong Lin Zhi was played by Shu Chang, and he acted very well.

Is this a kind of fate!?

The audition went smoothly.

Li Hao muttered in the ear of a staff member.

The staff ran out and told the other people who were going to audition for the role of Murong Lin Zhi that there was no need to audition, the role had been decided, but they could audition for other roles.

All of a sudden, many people looked at Shu Chang.

Shu Chang was still a little foggy, from the time she went in to the time she came out, it only took three minutes to win the role.

......

In the evening.

The company ushered in an uninvited guest.

"Hello Director Li." One of the women laughed.

Li Hao was slightly surprised in his heart, he recognized this woman.

Wang Jinghua, the well-known No. 1 broker in the mainland.

In the past few years, Wang Jinghua has been planning to leave twice in four years, but it has set off a big wave in the entire entertainment industry.

In 2005, Wang Jinghua led dozens of its artists to jump to Orange Sky, and the media directly exclaimed that "Huayi has been hollowed out". In 2008, Wang Jinghua, who seems to have the feeling of an independent brokerage kingdom under Orange Sky, once again supported self-reliance, and the artists who followed her continued to follow, never abandoned, looking at the entire entertainment industry, this kind of super cohesion for artists, except for Wang Jinghua, there are almost no others.

"I've wanted to get to know Director Li for a long time, and it's really like the rumored young and promising." Wang Jinghua said with a smile.

"Mr. Wang is polite." Li Hao smiled lightly.

Subsequently, Wang Jinghua began to test her words, wanting to win a few roles.

Li Hao refused.

He doesn't like to make this kind of trade.

Wang Jinghua's face was a little unsightly and left.

She didn't expect that Li Hao, a rookie director, would be so faceless.

Li Hao didn't take Wang Jinghua's matter to heart.

In three days, the audition was completed.

Then it's time to sign the contract.

There are no big-name stars, and the most famous little flowers are Shu Chang and Jing Tian, Jing Tian is his own person, and the salary is 10,000 yuan per episode, that is, 500,000 yuan.

And Shu Chang, the salary is also 10,000 yuan per episode, and the total is 400,000 yuan.

As for the other female characters, they are either newcomers, two or three thousand per episode, or although the salary for a single episode is relatively high, the number of episodes is not much.

On the actor's side, the actor chose Nie Yuan, Nie Yuan played the male protagonist Qi Tianlei in "The Wrong Sedan to Marry the Right Lang" in 2000, and became an instant hit, and then participated in "The Granary of the World" in the second year as the young Qianlong Emperor, and in 2003 starred in "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" Luo Cheng.

The salary is 20,000 episodes, a total of 1 million yuan.

Dugu Jingyao, who chose Jingtian's classmate Kan Qingzi, was paid only 3,000 yuan per episode, and the total was about 100,000 yuan.

The total salary of the actors will not exceed 4 million yuan.

The total investment of "Glory of Chang'an" is 40 million yuan, and the actor's salary accounts for almost 10%!

Of course, this is not counting Li Hao's expenses, after all, this is a TV series that he invested in alone, and the company is also his.

......

March 24, Hengdian Film and Television City.

After investigation, the filming location was placed in Hengdian Film and Television City.

Originally, Zhuozhou Film and Television City was considered, where there was the Tang City, which was the most used in Tang Dynasty costume historical dramas during the millennium, "Daming Palace Ci", "Tang Ming Emperor", and "Wu Zetian", all of which were filmed in this 150-acre Chang'an City.

It's a pity that with the rise of Qing court dramas, Tang palace dramas gradually declined, so that although the Tang City buildings are towering and magnificent, when the maintenance is not in place, the streets, city walls, houses, and palaces reveal a decay and depression of dynastic thoughts.

For the glory of the Tang Dynasty that began in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, it is obviously not satisfactory.

So after comparison, I chose Hengdian Film and Television City.

The opening ceremony was also chosen in the Qin Palace.

Compared with "Sito", no one knows about the start, there is not a single media reporter, and there is not a single entertainment gossip news, but this time is different.

Since the new drama was revealed from the time of Happy Camp, the news has been constant, and there have been many reports during the audition.

This time, the launching ceremony of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" attracted many media reporters.

The start-up ceremony was very heavy, and all the main creators were present.

The firecrackers crackled and looked particularly lively.

Li Hao sent a red envelope to everyone, which was auspicious.

Then there is the makeup photos first, which will be put into the early publicity first.

It wasn't until the afternoon that filming began.

is different from the time of "Sito", this time there are 2 assistant directors and 2 executive directors of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", and as for other crew members, there are even more.

For example, action guidance, etiquette guidance, and so on.

The strength of the crew is far from being comparable to the original.
