Rebirth, I really don't want to be a warm man

Chapter 420 Little Plum (Modify)

Even ten years later, top-tier celebrities are not willing to act in online dramas, unless it is a big production.

Otherwise, there would be no such term as internet drama cafe.

At this time, web dramas have just sprouted, and they are synonymous with rough and bad production. Eighteen-tier young actors are unwilling to act, let alone top-notch first-tier actors like Liu Yufei.

Many people are even ashamed of acting in online dramas, and feel that they are very cheap.

This is like someone telling Yang Funn and Zhao Xiaodao, who are just now popular, why don't you act in a big online movie?
How do you think they will feel?
This is how Liu Yufei feels now.

She forced a smile, "Brother Zhe, are you kidding me?"

"Of course I'm not joking." Li Zhe leaned on the sofa and put his arms around her waist.

"This is a web drama, but it is a big production with an investment of more than 3000 million, and it will be co-produced with South Korea. It is mainly aimed at overseas, especially the Asian market."

The new play that Li Zhe arranged for Liu Yufei was not "You Star", but "Moon Hotel" by Li Manyue.

That's Hotel Del Luna.

"Star You", he was going to press back.

"Moon Hotel" is a bit like a cross between "Ghost" and "Pawnshop No. [-]".

Moon Hotel is a magical hotel. Its guests are all kinds of ghosts. They have more or less obsessions and demands in their hearts and do not want to be reincarnated.

The job of Zhang Manyue, the owner of the hotel, is to help them fulfill their last wishes, and at the same time collect a certain amount of remuneration.

Li Zhe would like to make "Moon Hotel", mainly because the plot of this drama is indeed more creative, especially there are no such films and TV dramas as "Happy Family" and "Ghosts" that satisfy ghosts' wishes.

The subject matter of domestic film and television dramas is still relatively limited, for example, there are no ghosts in TV dramas and movies.

Fortunately, at this time, the review department has not yet supervised the online drama, and the subject matter can be filmed casually.

This "Moon Hotel" will definitely become a hit after it is broadcast online, just like "Soul Ferry".

Because the theme of ghosts and ghosts is too rare in China, it is extremely attractive to the audience.

However, the good period for web dramas to flourish is only a few years. When the review department strengthens the supervision of web dramas, web dramas are not allowed to be filmed casually just like TV dramas.

Therefore, Li Zhe plans to use these few years to shoot more film and television dramas involving supernatural and time-traveling themes.

After listening to Li Zhe's explanation, Liu Yufei understood, but she was still reluctant.

She doesn't even want to make TV dramas, let alone web dramas.

If it wasn't for Li Zhe, if it was someone else, she would have rejected it long ago.

Li Zhe glanced at her and said, "Qiqian, who is the actress with the highest salary in domestic TV dramas?"

"I don't know much about this, but the salary of first-line stars in TV dramas is roughly 15 to 20."

Liu Yufei paused and said, "Brother Zhe, why are you asking this?"

At present, the salary of domestic stars has not skyrocketed. The highest salary for an actor is Li Youbin at 20 an episode, and the highest salary for an actress is Jiang Wenli at 15 an episode.

Other first-line male and female stars are probably between 10 and 15.

This salary is extremely high compared to ordinary people, but it is far from comparable to the sky-high salary of later generations.

8000 million for a play?Baby Yang: I worked very hard in acting, and it was worth the price.

"Up to 20, right?"

Li Zhe looked at Liu Yufei and said, "If you take me, I'll give you 20 an episode."

This "Moon Hotel" is calculated as a 45-minute episode, and it will take about 25 episodes. That is to say, Liu Yufei can get 500 million for this drama.

This is definitely a sky-high price for actresses in the current circle.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yufei quickly said, "Brother Zhe, it's not about money!"

It really wasn't about money. An actor like Liu Yufei wouldn't take on any drama just for money.

At least this price is not enough to hit her.

Li Zhe smiled, pulled Liu Yufei into his arms with all his strength, stroked her back and said, "Qi Qian, trust me, I will definitely not cheat you."

"If this drama is done well, you can gain popularity throughout Asia."

Liu Yufei leaned her head on his shoulder, bit her lip and thought for a while and said, "Well then, brother Zhe, I'll listen to you, but you really don't have to pay such a high salary."

20 an episode, more than a senior in the industry like Jiang Wenli, this is putting her on the fire.

"Then it's 15 episodes, no more reductions, you're worth the price."

Li Zhe paused and said: "The salary represents the status of a celebrity, and because it is an online drama, your salary cannot be lowered."

Why did he have to let Liu Yufei play "Moon Hotel"?
Because the influence and user radiation of online dramas are still too low at present, it is far from being able to compare with star dramas, especially at this time, it is still a four-star drama, and its influence is too great.

It is not difficult for "Moon Hotel" to become a small hit on the Internet, but if it is to explode and become a phenomenon-level hit drama that is sought after and discussed by the whole people, it must have top-notch franchisees.

Top streamers like Liu Yufei have their own enthusiasm and topics.

If people buy tickets to enter the movie theater, it is estimated that not many people will buy it except her fans, but if it is a free TV series, then her influence will be too great.

Not to mention that this is the first time she has appeared in a TV series again after four years. This gimmick alone is enough to make countless audiences look forward to it.

Besides, Liu Yufei is also very suitable to play Zhang Manyue - a character who is arrogant, glamorous and lonely in heart.

She is suitable for this kind of airs, ungrounded role.

Liu Yufei is most suitable for acting as the lead actress, and she transitioned to making movies, especially literary films, which are purely nonsense.

Wouldn't it be good to make a vase with acting skills?

Li Zhe let go of Liu Yufei, looked at her and said, "The actor who will act with you is called Chen Xiao, he is a new artist signed by the company, he graduated from majors, and his appearance is good, but he is not famous."

"The second male lead and the second female lead are both from South Korea. One is called Lee Ji-eun and the other is Kim Soo-hyun. They are both newcomers, so this drama depends on you to play the leading role."

Li Zhe not only signed Li Manyue and Li Zhien, but also recently asked the South Korean branch to sign Kim Soo Hyun.

Professor Dou is more suitable for the role of Kim Soo Hyun.

His so-called co-production is left-handed and right-handed. Quku Entertainment co-produced with South Korean branch LZ Entertainment, and the actors are also artists under LZ Entertainment.

Co-productions have policy advantages and are also conducive to entering the South Korean market.

Besides, the theme of ghosts and ghosts is still relatively sensitive in China, even if it is a web drama.

It's okay if it's not hot, if it explodes, it's easy to attract the attention of the above.

But if it's a co-production drama, it won't be so eye-catching.

Liu Yufei hummed and nodded, "Brother Zhe, don't worry, I will perform well."

Li Zhe smiled, "I'm sure I can trust you."

In terms of professionalism, Liu Yufei has nothing to say, she is very serious and hardworking in filming, and can endure hardships, not to mention that she completed many difficult scenes in "Sculpture of God" by herself.

For this alone, few of the traffic stars in later generations can do it.

After "Moon Hotel" is filmed, Li Zhe will broadcast it on the dual platforms of station b and fun video at the same time.

And get out the paid advanced screening in advance.

If "Moon Hotel" can succeed, it proves that the model of dual-platform playback + top-level production is feasible.

In the future, the TV series produced by Quku Entertainment will mainly be webcast and sell overseas copyrights.

Li Zhe doesn't really want to sell the TV series directly to the TV station. If he wants to sell it, he has to wait until the TV series becomes popular on the Internet, and the TV station will take the initiative to buy it.

In China, if you want to sell TV dramas, you have to rely entirely on the face of the TV station. When selling dramas, you have to build relationships. After the dramas are aired, you have to buy ratings.

The online copyright of popular dramas will skyrocket in the next two years.

This year's hit drama "Who Calls My Youth" is a sky-high price of 2/11 episodes, but it is normal to wait until 2000-3000 million to buy a "solo drama" in [-].

Penguin Video even bought the unbroadcast "Palace Lock Bead Curtain" at a sky-high price of 185 million per episode.

At that time, the TV series produced by Quku Entertainment can be sold to other video platforms at a high price even if they are not broadcast on Qudong Video.

After talking about the business, Li Zhe got tired of hugging Liu Yufei, buried his head in her fair neck and dawdled, his hands became disheveled.

Just when he was thinking about whether he wanted to have an office scene with her, Liu Kaiyue opened the door and walked in with two cups of coffee.

Seeing the intimate scene of the two, she froze for a moment, with a playful look on her face, as if she was caught in bed.

"Ahem!" She coughed twice.

Only then did Liu Yufei notice that someone was coming, she quickly pushed Li Zhe away, and stood up with a blushing face.

Why didn't the secretary even knock on the door?
Li Zhe glanced at Liu Yufei who was in embarrassment, then at Liu Kaiyue who was playful, and smiled indifferently.

His face is now thicker than the city wall, and he is no longer the introverted boy who would blush after a few words with a girl.

"Zhe... Mr. Li, if there is nothing else, I'll leave first." Liu Yufei said.

"Okay, I'll see you off!" Li Zhe stood up with a smile.

He sent Liu Yufei all the way to the door of the president's office, watched her walk away with her assistant, and then turned back to the office.

Outside the office, Zhuang Qian, Bai Wei, and Huo Mengyan, a dozen or so girls, were all dressed up in small shirts + white shirts + hip skirts, sitting at their desks busy with their work.

Li Zhe took a look at them, and each pair of stockings had beautiful legs with their own characteristics.

He was a little tired of seeing them wear stockings every day.

Huo Mengyan stood up from the desk, pointed to a stack of documents on the desk, and said, "Mr. Li, these documents were just delivered from below, and you need to go through them yourself."

After speaking, she picked up the file.

Li Zhe walked to Huo Mengyan's side, "Don't bother you, I'll just take it in by myself."

With that said, he took the document from her hand.

Back in the inner office with the documents in his arms, Li Zhe found Liu Kaiyue sitting behind his desk, leaning back on the chair, with a pair of black legs close together, staring at him with a half-smile.

She looks a bit like a beautiful president.

This long leg is really getting smaller and smaller, is that seat where she can sit?If she wanted to sit there, she could only sit on his lap.

Li Zhe put the documents on the desk, glanced at her with a smile, and joked, "Mr. Liu, these documents have just been delivered from below, and you need to see them yourself."

Liu Kaiyue smiled reservedly, "I see, little Li, you go out!"

Little plum?
Li Zhe was angry and funny, came to Liu Kaiyue, pulled her up from the chair, put her on the desk, then raised his hand to her buttocks, and slapped her hard.

"Snapped!"

"Let you be big or small!"

"Yeah!" Liu Kaiyue hummed after being beaten, turned her head, and looked at him with resentful eyes.

"Husband, didn't you say that you are not interested? Why do you become interested again when you see Liu Yufei?"

This guy pushes her back and forth, but is very aggressive about being a dragon knight.

After hearing this, Li Zhe couldn't hold back his face a little, and hit her again in a fit of embarrassment.

"Snapped!"

Can this be his fault?It's all about the damn freshness!

"Okay, get up!" Li Zhe let go of Liu Kaiyue.

Liu Kaiyue got up from the table and hugged him coquettishly, "Husband!"

"Hey, don't move around!"

……

Entering late January, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the weather in Shanghai is getting colder and colder, with the lowest temperature reaching minus 1 or 2 degrees.

In the past half month, Li Zhe finally felt more relaxed, and he made a new schedule for Xiao Qiao and Zhou Ziyu.

He took turns to accompany them one day a week and rest for one or two days.

However, it's impossible to say how easy it is, he still has to talk on the phone with Wang Zhining, play with Liu Yufei, and take care of Luan Xiaolin and the others.

In addition, as the end of the year is approaching, the company's affairs are also extremely busy, and it can be said that it is very busy all day long.

January 1 is Laba Festival.

In the evening, after Li Zhe got off work from the company and returned to the villa, he saw Xiao Qiao and Shen Xin sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV and discussing something.

Shen Xinyi was stuffing snacks into her mouth from time to time, her mouth was bulging.

"If You Are the One" is on the TV.

Not the movie "If You Are the One", but the dating show "If You Are the One".

The show was broadcast on January 1th, and when the third episode aired on the 15th, a female guest surnamed Ma said, "I'd better sit in a BMW and cry!", which quickly ignited public opinion.

It is better to cry in a BMW than to laugh on a bicycle. This sentence has also become a buzzword on the Internet.

With the popularity and topicality brought by this incident, "If You Are the One" started to explode.

Seeing that Xiao Qiao and Shen Xinyi were seriously discussing which of the three female guests the male guest would choose, Li Zhe couldn't help but say, "This is all fake, just play around with it, don't take it seriously! "

It has been revealed in later generations. This show has a script, and many guests are also trustees. It is an entertainment show with a blind date gimmick, but now many people are watching it seriously.

Xiao Qiao and Shen Xin liked watching this show very much, and they didn't need a blind date, so what's the use of watching it?

"fake?"

Xiao Qiao turned her head to look at Li Zhe, "You haven't been on the show before, how dare you be so sure?"

Suddenly, she thought of something and her eyes lit up.

"Husband, why don't we both go to the show too, and I'll stand on the stage, and then you will hold me?"

When Li Zhe heard this, he was speechless.

This little Joe is really whimsical!

He, a rich man worth tens of billions, went to a blind date show?What international joke?
If it got out, he would lose face in the rich circle.

"If you want to be on the show, you can go, anyway, I won't take you!" Li Zhe said angrily.

Xiao Qiao curled her lips, "If you don't go, you won't go, why are you so fierce?"

At this time, Zhou Ziyu walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron, and Zhao Mingyao followed behind her.

In the past half month, she often brought Zhao Mingyao to live here, and Xiao Qiao also often brought Bai Wei to live here, the two seemed to be competing with each other.

However, the rivalry between the two of them hurt Li Zhe.

There are two beautiful grasses beside the nest, which dangle in front of my eyes from time to time, but I can only look at them but not eat them, which is somewhat torturous.

I can't blame Li Zhe for being too careless, it can only be said that men are all greedy for novelty.

Zhou Ziyu helped Li Zhe take off his coat, and said with a smile, "Husband, today is Laba, so let's not go out to eat. I cooked Laba porridge, and I cooked some home-cooked dishes with Mingyao."

Li Zhe also nodded with a smile, "Okay, listen to you."

Then he looked at Zhao Mingyao, "Mingyao can still cook?"

Zhou Ziyu glanced at Zhao Mingyao with a smile, "Her skills are quite good!"

Seeing Zhou Ziyu courteous to Li Zhe there, Xiao Qiao finally realized that she was...competed by Zhou Ziyu again and again.

Fox's scheming this week is really too deep!

Xiao Qiao's nature is more casual and lazy, and the convenience of watching and serving others is completely incomparable with Zhou Ziyu.

Moreover, she became enthusiastic about doing things for 3 minutes. Before she was determined to become a blockbuster, she enrolled in a lot of talent tutoring classes such as interjection, painting, playing the piano, etc., but recently her enthusiasm for learning has faded. .

Xiao Qiao also found an excuse for herself. She has to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination next year and is busy preparing for the beauty club.

In fact, she was not ready for the postgraduate entrance examination, and she didn't care much about the beauty club.
