Chapter 160: The Mouse That Can't See the Light

Fenghua Film and Television Company's new drama "Dashang Palace" was established, and the young actress Hao Lei was chosen as the heroine, this matter quickly spread in domestic entertainment, many actresses were very envious of Hao Lei, and the big guys realized that this previously unknown woman may be like Sun Li, an instant hit.

Moreover, Sun Li is acting in a co-production drama of Fenghua, and Hao Lei is acting in a large-scale costume TV series directed by Li Shengyao himself, and there are more people who are optimistic about Hao Lei.

Hao Lei has not yet acted in "Dashang Palace", many businesses have asked her to endorse, and some film and television production companies have asked her to make an appointment.

This was something that neither Hao Lei nor her agency had ever thought of.

She's naturally happy, and while she's always pursued the performing arts, who hates making money?

Her agency also knew that if "Da Shang Palace" was a big success, Hao Lei's value would rise at that time, and now the signing is actually a loss, so she only chose two endorsements with excellent conditions, and the others were rejected.

This matter spread in domestic entertainment, and more actresses stared at Fenghua Film and Television Company, eager to become the next Hao Lei.

Li Shengyao had heard about things outside, but he didn't pay attention to them.

This is normal human nature.

Hao Lei is sure, as for the actor, it is much easier.

Li Shengyao decided early on that Zu Feng would play it.

This is a female inspirational drama, and this male protagonist is not important in the play, and he doesn't need to be too handsome.

Li Shengyao doesn't even need these two people to have a sense of CP, he doesn't want the love of the hero and heroine to overshadow the heroine's personality.

This drama is mainly about a great woman, not about love.

As for the heroine's parents, Li Shengyao asked Guo Xiaodong and Yan Danchen to play them, these two roles don't have many roles, so they should be two people to make cameos.

Some other roles are relatively easy to find, and there are still a lot of powerful actors in the mainland.

In this way, Li Shengyao prepared "Dashang Palace" in a firm and orderly manner.

The day was beautiful, and the time came to the end of March, and in the joyful singing of the birds, he drove to Fenghua Film and Television Company.

"Boss, a businessman from Hong Kong Island came, and he said that he wanted to invest in "Dashang Palace".

Businessmen on Hong Kong Island are still very popular with mainland film and television production companies, and at this time, many domestic entertainment dramas have Hong Kong and Taiwan capital.

But Li Shengyao didn't really care much.

In his previous life, "Da Chang Jin" sold more than 90 Guo Jia, of which Shonan Satellite TV spent nearly 35 million to buy this drama, as long as he filmed well, he would definitely be able to make money, and he was not short of money.

"Got it, let's go."

Soon after, Lee met the businessman from Hong Kong Island in the conference room.

"Director Li, my name is Chen Mingzhong, I am from Hong Kong Island, and I like the drama made by your company very much."

Chen Mingzhong is not tall, with dark skin, a wide nose, and thick lips, which is indeed what he looks like over there.

Li Shengyao shook hands with him, "Hello Mr. Chen. ”

The two sat opposite each other and exchanged a few words, Chen Mingzhong then expressed his purpose, "Director Li, I like your drama very much, what about me, I have always had a dream, I want to enter the film and television industry, so I want to cooperate with you, I heard about "Dashang Palace", I want to invest in this drama." ”

"How does Mr. Chen want to invest?"

"How much money does Director Li need for this drama?"

Since "Dashang Palace" is a large-scale costume TV series, it naturally costs more.

This drama has nearly 70 episodes, not to mention the costumes of various characters, filming locations, and the need to show all kinds of delicious dishes in the play, which is a lot of investment.

Li Shengyao has made the planning table for this drama, and the total budget is 20 million.

Shonan Satellite TV spent 35 million to buy "Da Chang Jin" in 05, so that the producer could directly recover the cost, and Li Shengyao produced it more than two years in advance, and it was sold for at least 20 million.

Although we are compatriots, it is impossible to be too cheap.

If you send money to the people of the peninsula, you must also send money to Fenghua.

"My budget is 30 million."

The actual budget is one thing, and the external publicity is another.

This Chen Mingzhong is not an acquaintance, and it is impossible for Li Shengyao to tell him the truth.

Four years ago, "Huanzhu Gege" was a large-scale costume drama, with a total investment of more than 10 million, which is already a big investment.

And a year ago, in "Mansion Gate", there were so many celebrities, and the total investment was 12 million.

Now the investment in "Dashang Palace" has doubled, saying that it is 30 million.

If you are an ordinary person in the film and television industry, I am afraid that you will be very surprised.

Chen Mingzhong heard this, but his eyes lit up, "Director Li, there is no problem, our company invests, all of which are invested by our company, 30 million is all included, and I only have 50% of the domestic dividends of this drama." ”

All the investment, as long as the domestic five components are red, this person is afraid that he is not stupid.

Li Shengyao believed that Chen Mingzhong still had unfinished words, smiled, and waited for Chen Mingzhong's next words.

"Director Li, my requirements are very simple, how much money you can say, 30 million or 40 million, there is no problem, I will make fifty red, and arrange some people to follow you to make a TV series, let them learn."

This is reasonable, but it is illegal.

When Li Shengyao heard this, he immediately realized that this guy just wanted to take the opportunity to launder money.

He didn't expect these people to find him.

After the turn of the millennium, mainland film and television dramas have been popping up, and the number of film and television dramas filmed every year has grown very fast.

Many people think that the coal boss is gone, but in fact, it is not.

The coal boss asked his girlfriend to be on camera and on TV.

It's more that some people want to launder money, and a lot of messy TV series were filmed during this period, not seeking to be on the stars, not seeking to be broadcast, and losing the warehouse after filming.

Are these investors all bad hands? You don't release an investment hammer.

Of course not, people didn't expect it to be released in the first place.

They just use the filming of TV series as a whitewashing channel.

There are many films in the film industry, especially Hong Kong and Taiwan movies.

This time, the surnamed Chen was not only not afraid in the face of a huge investment of 30 million, but was even more excited, which was too abnormal.

Mr. Lee could pretend he didn't know and save the company a lot of money, but he certainly didn't want to be involved in this mess.

He is not short of money now, and the main thing is that he hopes that Fenghua's dramas will be clean.

He didn't bother to say anything more to this person, and shook his head, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, this drama is the main investment, we don't need investment from other companies, I'm busy beforehand." ”

After the words fell, he strode away, and before leaving, he gave the assistant a look and asked him to give it away.

Soon after, the assistant came back, "Boss, that guy is swearing in Cantonese, I don't know what he said, but it's certainly not a good thing." ”

"Don't bother with him, it's just a mouse that can't see the light."
