The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 1663 Different Moods

Li Menglong's side is still in the final preparation process, but the girls' side is making rapid progress. After all, there are so many people, it is enough for everyone to help a little. Although it will make the scene more chaotic, it is still There are more positive effects.

After a very simple selection, the choice of writers and directors fell on Xiao Min and Xu Xian without accident. After all, no one wanted to compete with them in this regard. There is a suitable character who can get what he deserves in this miniseries.

Because the goal at the very beginning was very clear, so a group of girls did not snatch it as fiercely as imagined. After all, on a certain level, everyone is a person who wants face, just like the girls who flatter Xu Xian at home, but There is always a posture of a sister at the scene.

Fortunately, the role is only one aspect. There are many other things that everyone can do besides the role. It does not mean that only the director and writer have to bear the greatest pressure. In this drama, everyone is the master, so we must play the role of master.

So before the official establishment, there are already a bunch of assistant directors, assistant cameramen and other positions, and the busy schedule is very enjoyable, which makes Xu Xian and Xiaomin who were originally nervous a lot relaxed. There is something to find someone, isn't it.

That being the case, let's go ahead and choose people with confidence. It's a pity that the roles in the play are limited. Although everyone can be included in it, the difference in importance is too great. Fortunately, everyone said that they can understand. Just follow your heart.

Originally, Seo Hyun had a good idea, that is, just choose according to the script in a fair and just manner. Hyo Min also meant the same thing, even the two of them had greeted their own groups separately, but imagination and reality are after all different. There are some gaps, and they are not small.

It’s nothing in itself to choose people according to the script, the key is fairness and justice. In this regard, Xu Xian is more difficult than Xiao Min. After all, the objective conditions are here. Because of the popularity of the girls, there has been no shortage in the past two years. Getting the chance to star in a TV series is a lot better on the resume, and being an actor is a profession that you are familiar with but not new to.

Therefore, the girls are relatively ahead at the starting line. As long as the roles are not particularly suitable for someone, in theory, the girls will take all the roles, but it seems fair. The rest of the people Will you agree?Xu Xian himself was a little panicked!
But it made her a little sad to have to go against her heart and choose someone else, so her expression was very gloomy for a while. If Li Menglong could chat with him at the scene, but she would have known it when they parted in the morning. Li Menglong should also I'm busy with my own business.

Now that both of them are directors and are responsible for their respective works, it seems that it is not easy for him to let go of the work at hand to comfort himself. Xu Xian is not so thick-skinned yet, so he can only carry it down by himself: " This role needs to look fierce, but always contain a touch of tenderness in the heart, can you do it?"

Xiaoyuan on the opposite side looked at her roommate in the same room. To be honest, in the past two years, she can be regarded as Ernie who has the best relationship with Xu Xian. In private, she gave Xu Xian many mature suggestions from her mature perspective. It can be said that she watched Xu Xian grow up recently.

So at the moment Xu Xian's embarrassment is clear to her. It can be said that this role basically fits Hyoyeon's image. As for her acting skills, that's the case, but at least everyone looks similar.

But Xu Xian still asked this question, obviously there is a little entanglement, although I don't know what it is, but Hyoyeon is really not interested in acting, so why not help out: "I really act It’s not very good, so I’ll go back and practice, thank you director and writer for taking the time!”

Xu Xian was almost embarrassed by what was said, after all, she knew best what was going on, but to put it simply, girls occupied too many roles, even though it was only in Xu Xian's plan, but for the sake of To maintain the relative balance of numbers, only some girls can be sacrificed.

This choice of Chi Guoguo's interests really made Xu Xian particularly uncomfortable. She would feel that she was a little dirty. This was also a compromise for her change of direction. When would Xu Xian not be able to do it by herself?This is against her principles!
But Xu Xian is still mature after all. If it were a few years ago, maybe she would have dropped the pick directly. Anyway, she would either not do it, or wait for her to sort out her thoughts. She is so unclear. It is impossible to continue.

But now Xu Xian endured it, forcibly suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and continued to say those words that made her unhappy, just because she knew that she was the director of this drama and the core of the entire crew. The messy one shouldn't be her!

With this fearless spirit, Xu Xian forcibly endured in the crew, but Li Menglong's side was much smoother than her. After all, he didn't need to make such complicated choices as Xu Xian, as long as he really chose according to the needs of the role. People are good, girls dare to come and say something to him?A big slap across the face!
Of course, this is just a picture in Li Menglong's imagination, and the girls will not let this kind of thing happen. Although they usually ask Li Menglong for roles from time to time, but when it comes to dividing roles, no one will complain. One is a double insult to himself and Li Menglong!

Since he doesn't need to worry about actors, Li Menglong is naturally more concerned about some hardware issues, and all hardware issues can be boiled down to money in the final analysis: "So what is the budget of my movie? Don't tell me that the whole company I can use the funds as I please, do you believe this when you say it?"

Li Enxi smiled, of course she doesn't believe it. If Li Menglong dared to empty out the company to make movies, she would dare to sleep directly at Li Menglong's house, or squeezed between Li Menglong and his wife. Since she doesn't want her to have a good time, then Don't even think about it.

Although he has always expressed his supportive attitude, but when it comes to specific money, this instinct makes Li Enxi a lot stingy: "Your work is just a youth film, with no special effects, no big scenes, and no famous actors. I guess three to five billion is enough, right?"

"Your joke is not funny at all, so hurry up and change it!"

"Who is joking with you, three to five billion is too much? Then I can lower it a little more!" Li Enxi is planning to carry out the shamelessness to the end. Anyway, only when the cost is suppressed can she be worthy of her position in the company. This is the money.

As for the common problem of low-budget movies, Li Enxi is naturally aware that not enough money is definitely fatal to a movie, just like a baby born with malnutrition, it is difficult to wait until the child grows up.

If it were any other director, Li Enxi wouldn't ask for such a hard price. Anyway, he should justify it, making a movie for [-]-[-] million yuan?Leaving aside the salaries of the actors and staff, that's enough. A big-budget TV series might cost so much for an episode. Li Enxi is indeed suspected of joking.

But this is not to face Li Menglong, he will not allow his films to be restricted by money, besides, he is already very frugal, and there is still a lot of money that cannot be saved: "I don't want too much, it's a one-buy price 100 billion, it will definitely be returned to a blockbuster movie!"

If Li Enxi was joking, then Li Menglong's words are also somewhat suspicious, and he just opened his mouth for 100 billion?Did Li Menglong think he was making a sci-fi blockbuster?The kind that wants to produce special effects on a large scale?
To be honest, 100 billion yuan is really not too much money in the film field, especially in the increasingly popular global market. After all, it is only 6000 million yuan. Maybe an actor dares to call for such a large salary.

However, the objective factors in the Korean market have set a ceiling for movies. Although it is invisible and intangible, it is real. From the actors' remuneration all the way to production and publicity costs, there is a price list that can be referred to privately.

Once this unspoken rule is broken, it is likely that the film will be crowded out, and it is precisely because of this that the production cost of Korean films can be kept down to a relatively low cost, and more funds are invested in the story.

But things have to be looked at dialectically. One of the biggest factors that keep the cost of Korean movies from rising is the rate of return. Because it is difficult for movies to go abroad, basically most of the income comes from China.

However, the population of South Korea is only so large. A successful movie with over [-] million viewers is only a few tens of billions in box office. Converted into RMB, it is worth more than [-] million but less than one billion. If If it is converted into a US knife, it will be even more unreadable.

Therefore, the investment in movies is directly proportional to the rate of return. If Korean movies can achieve global box office, then the so-called traditions and unspoken rules will definitely be broken. After all, when pursuing capital, everything can be done. of.

All in all, the price that Li Menglong called out was a bit inflated, and it was not a little bit. Li Enxi was naturally very dissatisfied, but Li Menglong still had plausible words: "We are also a big cast and a big production. The girls came here to participate. You have to give everyone a salary of [-] to [-] million yuan? One-fifth of this is already gone!"

"I admit that Girls' Generation is really popular, and I didn't intend to squeeze them! To be honest, as the protagonist, even if the female number two gets [-] million, I think it's a profit!" Li Enxi couldn't help but pat the table when he said this: "But why do those seventh and eighth women take so much? Your family burned too much money, right?"

"I've gotten used to it for a while. They go out and ask for an equal share of the price!" Li Menglong said indifferently, but only he knows whether it was intentional: "Then let's give it according to the team, otherwise they will give it to you." It’s not easy to divide when you go back, how about a combination of 20 billion?”

Li Enxi is really in a dilemma. After all, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. The girls' money is also distributed to the company, but the proportion is not very high, so she hesitated again and again. She still thinks it is better to save money for the company: "Three hundred million nine people Points, already a lot..."

Finally, I was able to get off work on time. This repeated discussion with Li Enxi really consumed a lot of brain cells, but he can't treat it casually. After all, it will be very troublesome when the money is low. As for things like adding money temporarily He hasn't learned yet.

After picking up the girls in the past, a group of people rushed back home, but it seemed that Xu Xian was so tired, and the originally pink and tender apple muscles seemed to have shriveled a lot: "Is this someone bullying you? Don't worry Tell oppa, I will avenge you!"

"You have to be responsible for what you say, don't make such fanciful guesses, do you have evidence?" Kim Taeyeon behind defended herself: "Besides, you are all directors, now the world is the biggest director, who are we?" How dare you offend the director? During the interview just now, I was severely reprimanded by the youngest!"

"Isn't it normal to reprimand you? If it were me, I wouldn't even give you the chance to audition. Isn't this a waste of my precious time!" Li Menglong said that it was annoying, but his eyes were always on On Xu Xian's body, this girl didn't smile!

Because of Xu Xian's relationship in the car, it seemed a little silent all the way. Although Xu Xian didn't talk much on weekdays, it was completely different from the present. hi?The nine of them are one!
Seeing that he was at home, Xu Xian trotted a few steps, rushed into the room ahead of everyone, and then apologized with a [-]-degree bow to everyone: "I'm sorry O'Neills today, I will definitely adjust myself ,See you tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, without giving everyone time to answer, Xu Xian ran up in a gust of wind, leaving only the girls with dull faces below, who can tell them what's going on?Did they accidentally offend this little girl?

It was Xiaoyuan who took the initiative to stand up and explain it to everyone. At this time, everyone suddenly realized that it was the little girl who blamed herself a bit: "Hey Yigu, what a big deal, I was brushed off by Li Menglong not once or twice, Have you ever seen me have any hostility towards him?"

"I still need to answer this myself? The eyes of the masses are discerning. How big is the difference in your face when you beg me and when you are rejected by me? You don't know this yourself, do you?"

"Where is it? I learned it with an attitude of learning!" Yuner said disapprovingly, but the girls around all agreed with Li Menglong's statement. After all, that is the truth, and Yuner is like this As for reality, of course it’s okay to say it’s pure!
"Xiaoxian is the same, but he has to think so much, how normal it is to eliminate you crooked melons!" Li Menglong said very seriously: "If it were me, it wouldn't matter if you were all kicked out. What a surprise!"

"That's why we love our youngest, and you are always beaten..."
