Chapter 269: Economic Tension

"I was just about to tell you, during this time, I have contacted many well-known actors, high-ranking actors, and some famous actors, and the quotations are very high, with the money we have in hand now, I am afraid that we can't afford to hire actors and well-known actors."

This time, Xuan Zefei found Fang Yu, in addition to wanting to tell the other party about the studio, the main thing was to report the economic situation to Fang Yu.

Because the book "Fairy Sword" is a well-known IP, it cost them a lot of money just to buy the copyright, and then they have to buy shooting equipment and rent a shooting venue.

Since you plan to shoot it, and you are still filming a masterpiece like "Fairy Sword", you naturally have to shoot it well, otherwise, it is better not to shoot it.

But the funds in his hands are really limited.

At first, he thought that making a TV series was very simple, but now that he really started to do it, he found that there were too many cumbersome things, and money was the most important thing to create.

Although he is also a rich second generation, he is not very old, only in his early 24s, plus he was obsessed with writing novels a few years ago, his family has always felt that he is hopeless and incurable, and it is this stereotype that his father is very tight with him in terms of money.

Worried that he would become the kind of cynical second ancestor on TV.

After that, his father stuffed the shrimp ball pot restaurant to him for management, the main purpose was to exercise his ability, and the income generated by the shrimp ball pot could not be directly handed over to him, but to his father.

He is equivalent to working for his father, and his father pays him a salary.

However, his salary plus pocket money is actually quite a lot every month, millions of dollars.

This gave him the illusion that he had the ability to shoot the "Fairy Sword" TV series before, thinking that his pocket money plus Fang Yu's investment should be enough, after all, he really only knew how to write novels before, and he had never been in contact with the entertainment industry.

It wasn't until I really got in touch that I realized that I was thinking too well.

Xuan Zefei couldn't help but sigh: "The salary of a first-line actor alone is tens of millions, how can you afford it!" A little bit of popularity, cheaper, all have to be about 8 million, and some actors with big coffee positions and high popularity actually calculate the money according to the number of episodes filmed. ”

Fang Yu held his chin and thought about it, this thing Xuan Zefei said was indeed true.

He did make a lot of money by writing songs in the name of Danqing and writing novels in the name of Xiang Tianxiao before.

There must be tens of millions, and among these tens of millions, he still has to keep a few million, which is for his parents, and this part of the money cannot be moved.

In the past few years, he has spent a lot of money on traveling everywhere, and while traveling to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, he has also traveled to many poor areas, and he will also donate.

Donated a lot of money.

Despite such lavish spending, he also has money in his hands.

Therefore, for most of the past half a year, he has been very messy, he has never written a song with Danqing, and the novel "Fengshen" was also opened not long ago.

Even if the income of "Fengshen" is very good now, with a manuscript fee of several million a month, it is estimated that it is difficult to maintain the filming of "Fairy Sword" TV, and the TV shooting has to spend a lot of money in advance.

Advance payment is not possible.

In addition to finding actors, you have to use special effects later, find a director, find a cameraman, hang Weiya, hire a makeup stylist, and you have to spend money on everything.

But Fang Yu didn't really want to attract investment and find other partners.

As long as there are other partners to join, then the whole crew will no longer be what he says, he doesn't want to do this.

The TV "Fairy Sword" is still filmed according to what he said, which is better.

Without waiting for Fang Yu to speak, Guo Yang, who was listening on the side, made a surprised voice.

"What? You don't have enough funds?? Didn't you ask me to ask for money in advance before you asked me to write the script? ”

Xuan Zefei spread his hands: "No, the funds all depend on the two of us!" ”

Guo Yang glanced at Fang Yu, then looked at Xuan Zefei and continued: "Then when you first looked for me, how did you say that Ling Ran, a great doctor, patted his chest and said that it was definitely a big production?" ”

Xuan Zefei's heart was weak: "My expectation is like this!" ”

Co-authoring is a big pie!

When Xuan Zefei found Guo Yang, he talked about Yuanwang, the loneliness of today's costume fairy, and the value of the book "Fairy Sword".

fooled him around, let him come for so long, and never doubted Xuan Zefei's reliability.

In addition, Xuan Zefei really got the copyright of "Fairy Sword", and Guo Yang has also watched "Fairy Sword", so he is convinced of it.

Later, after knowing that Fang Yu was the author of "Fairy Sword", he decided that this was about to be a reliable crew.

As a result, in its current form, it seems.

The most reliable is the copyright of the novel "Fairy Sword" and the author Fang Yu.

Xuan Zefei cautiously said to Fang Yu: "Brother Yu, I have a note, look, do you want to borrow some money from Youmeng?" Anyway, it's your daughter-in-law, so she shouldn't refuse. ”

"Not my daughter-in-law yet!" Fang Yu replied quickly.

"Isn't that a matter of time? She's a real rich woman! Wait for "Fairy Sword" to be broadcast, you make money, and return her more! ”

Fang Yu glared at Xuan Zefei.

If he went to borrow money from that silly little rabbit, he would definitely borrow it, but he didn't want to.

"We can first shoot a movie with a small investment and a big return, make a lot of money, and at the same time open up our popularity, we can get the money to shoot "Sword and Fairy", what do you think?"

Now Xuan Zefei goes to meet the actors and directors every day to negotiate, and no one wants to join them, in addition to having no money, there is also the fact that Xuan Zefei is a newcomer, even if "Fairy Sword" is very famous, those actors don't believe that the team that Xuan Zefei has put together can shoot this big IP well.

Many times, big IPs are made into TV series, which may not necessarily become popular, but will be scolded by book fans.

For example, the Douqi Horse on Earth is an example of this.

As soon as Fang Yu's words came out, Xuan Zefei and Guo Yang looked at Fang Yu with doubts and surprises on their faces.

Xuan Zefei even stretched out a hand to put it on Shang Yu's forehead: "Brother Yu, no, although the method you said is feasible, it is not practical!" ”

"Movies with a small investment and a big return?? Where are we going to find a movie like this? Do you want to make a movie as soon as you come up? ”

Guo Yang even said directly: "Although I am well-known in the screenwriting industry, I dare not say that I can write this script with a small investment and a big return!" ”

"I can write!"

Fang Yu's simple words made the two people at the scene drop their jaws again!

"Brother Yu, what you said is really fake?" Xuan Zefei glanced at Guo Yang in disbelief and asked.

"Really, I'll write the script for you to read in two days!" Fang Yu said.
