Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 131 Ghost Blowing Lamp is online, actor joins
If it weren't for the phone call, people from Tencent would have spit on Yuan Hua.

The star drama still wants to sell them 3000 million, what do you want?

You are already on the stars, [-]% to [-]% of the viewers go to watch TV, who still come to our website to watch?
"Mr. Yuan, the price can still be negotiated. Do you think it can be played on Tencent Video?"

"It's not that I don't cooperate. The next film is huge and destined to cost a lot of money. You're just webcasting and relying on advertisements to make money. You can accept 2000 to [-] million yuan. If it's too much, you can't digest it. I don't think people in the production department will spend a lot of money to buy it. of."

Yuan Hua plans to use 2000 million yuan to shoot the second part, and the shooting cycle alone will take three months, not counting the pre-production and post-production.

It is not cost-effective to sell all 3000 million yuan to Tencent in a package, and the profit is a bit small.

So he plans to go on the star, put it on the TV station, hand over the webcasting rights to Tencent, and earn money at both ends.

After listening to his words, the project leader of Tencent was silent for a while. Indeed, as Yuan Hua said, they couldn't afford too much.

Video website revenue comes from advertising fees.

Listening to Yuan Hua's tone, if they want to buy out exclusively, it will cost more than 3000 million, maybe [-], or [-]. How many advertisers will they have to find to earn back so much money?
I'm afraid it will take 10 minutes for an advertisement.

"Mr. Yuan, even if it is a webcast, 3000 million is too much."

"Not many." Yuan Hua explained: "The TV dramas are broadcast at 07:30 or [-]:[-] p.m., and after one episode is broadcast there, you will immediately broadcast an episode here, which is equivalent to only one episode later, and the retention rate is still quite good. Many."

Interesting, this is the first time people from Tencent have heard of this kind of gameplay: "But we still want to put it on the webcast. You can see if this works. We can pay part of the purchase funds in advance to relieve you of financial pressure."

"Mr. Yuan, it's not that easy to be a star. It's not that you're not good enough, but that the theme of tomb robbery is sensitive. It's just a webcast. You don't even know how many times we have been reported."

"If it is placed on a TV station, it may not be able to withstand the pressure there."

It's not impossible to play an episode later, but when thinking of the huge number of users of the TV series, the people of Tencent Video feel trembling.

Even if it is 10 minutes late, the user does not know how much to run?

"4000 million!" After thinking for a while, Yuan Hua made a quotation: "Ads can be placed during the shooting."

He is also a little afraid of being reported. After all, the beaming and gray wolf can't handle it, so your tomb robbery notes are nothing.

The person in charge of Tencent's project couldn't help but said: "Mr. Yuan, can you tell me how much investment is required for 35 episodes? I want to hear the truth."

A web drama sold 4000 million, which is a bit exaggerated.

"The estimated investment is 2000 million." Yuan Hua didn't hide anything.

This time I have money, and I can't act as an actor voluntarily like last time, and I really need to send out the salary.

For 35 episodes, he was paid at least 200 million yuan. There was no way, there were fewer scenes, and he didn't have as many roles in this drama as the first one.

"Even if the actor's salary is 600 million, it won't cost 35 million to shoot 400 episodes, right?"

People from Tencent Video have already figured out Yuan Hua's bottom line. The last Tomb Raider Notes cost 600 million yuan and took ten episodes, with an average of 60 yuan per episode. Considering the scene construction and some special effects, it is understandable.

In fact, this kind of production is already a high standard.

90.00% of the TV dramas in Nine did not play like this.

This is also the reason for the rave reviews after it aired.

For the second film this time, if the funds were lowered a little, 400 million would not be enough. After all, not every episode has to be as exquisite as the first film.

"Mr. Wang, you haven't read the Tomb Raider Notes novel, have you? There are many big scenes in the latter few, such as the Xisha Undersea Tomb, the Zhang Family Ancient Building, the West Queen Mother's Palace, the Gobi Desert, and the Devil's City. You have to travel all over the country for the shooting location alone." a place."

"There are still a lot of places that need special effects, and it is a waste of money."

"Let me think about it and give you an answer in a few days."

4000 million to buy an online drama, this is not something he can decide, he has to discuss it with the higher-ups.

Notes on Tomb Raiders aired No.20 for five days and officially ended, with a total of 8000 million views, especially the last episode, which was watched by a lot of people.

This wave of Tencent and Yixin Film and Television is a win-win situation.

It was also on this day that Tencent agreed to spend 4000 million yuan to invest in Ultimate Notes, but Yuan Hua was required to come up with the script, shooting plan, and cast first.

And in the lineup of the production team, their people must be the supervisors, have the right to audit accounts, and so on.

The most important thing is the placement of advertisements, there are eight in total.

Yuan Hua agreed that as long as he wasn't too frenzied, he could accept it.

As early as when the Tomb Raiders Notes Seven Star Lu Palace was finalized, he asked Yang Siwei to schedule the script of the Ultimate Notes, and a few months later, the script came out.

In terms of actors, in addition to the original cast of the first film, there are five or six new characters.

For example, Black Glasses, Wu Erbai, Xie Yuchen, Jude Kao, etc., all invited are all capable.

What's worse is a shooting plan.

……

"When you get there, act well, don't embarrass our company, this time your salary has been raised, 60."

In the company, Yuan Hua turned his pen and chatted with Li Yifeng.

In Tomb Raider Notes: The Ultimate Notes, he doesn't have many roles. The main focus is on Li Yifeng. With the first part as the foundation, he can barely support the ratings in the second part.

After all, it is a series, as long as the first one is good, the audience will generally follow the second one.

If the second part is successful, he doesn't mind letting Li Yifeng complete the Tomb Raiders series.

"60!" Li Yifeng raised his voice, "So much!"

He paid 20 yuan for his last film, and this time he tripled it, which is too fierce.

A few months ago, he had to borrow tens of thousands of dollars from others, but he didn't expect the feng shui to turn around. In a short time, he will play the second leading role in his life, and the salary is as high as 60.

Wouldn't it be 100 million to play two more movies?

The former Yuan Hua was not as awesome as him, right?I heard that I did Fendou and Xinshangtan, Let the Bullets Fly, and I didn’t make much money as a special soldier.

Could it be that he is the legendary Son of Destiny?

"That's right, it's 60." Yuan Hua could understand Li Yifeng's mood, "It just offsets the 60 you owe me, and now we're both settled."

"Work hard for the next play, and try to buy a suite in Shanghai. Come on, I'm optimistic about you."

"I……"

Li Yifeng was in a daze, busy working on two dramas, and the whole f*ck paid off his debts.

This can't be done!

"Brother Hua, can you lend me 200?"

What should Yuan Hua do if he doesn't owe the company any money?It's better to owe money, there is no way to block him in the future.

Blocked me, couldn't find a job, and still haven't paid back the money?
"Damn!" Yuan Hua was speechless, it was the first time he met such a cheeky person.

"180 million is fine!"

"How about 150?"

"100 million! I'll give you interest, let's count it as usury!"

"roll!"

After Li Yifeng left, Yuan Hua laughed out loud, then shook his head and made a call on his mobile phone.

"Mr. Wang, I agree with what you said, but I don't want money... I also want to recommend an actor to be the second male lead. I hope you can think about it..."

After the webcast of Notes on Tomb Raiders became popular, many people focused on the theme of tomb robbery. After all, there is also a well-known Ghost Blowing Lantern.

A few days ago, Huayi's boss called him, saying that he wanted to buy the copyright of Ghost Chuideng to make a movie.

Originally they were looking for the original author, but when they inquired, the copyright had already been bought out by Yuan Hua.

Knowing that Yuan Hua was worth more than 100 million yuan, Hua Yi proposed to let Yuan Hua play the male lead, saying that she wanted to cooperate with him a long time ago, but was blocked by Sister Hua.

Yuan Hua didn't know if their words were true or not, but it didn't matter, the important thing was to make money.

Huayi has its own theater chain and is not short of money, so it is not a loss to cooperate with them.

Anyway, Gui Chudeng couldn't eat it alone.

Making a movie is no better than making a TV series. There are too many big scenes of ghost blowing lights, and special effects are everywhere. It takes less talk to do it.

Huayi paid him 300 million yuan for the role of Hu Bayi.

On the phone just now, he changed his remuneration into shares, Hua Yi didn't refuse, they were preparing to attract investors, Yuan Hua sent 300 million yuan to their door, don't want it for nothing, in their view, this is a disguised form of support for the film, which means friendship.

"Hey, Brother Bo, what have you been doing lately?" After hanging up the phone, Yuan Hua dialed Huang Bo: "Hua Yi has a movie looking for me. It's a big production. The male lead is still available. Do you have time to try it out?"

Just at the Golden Horse Awards Gala that just passed, Huang Bo won the best actor award by virtue of the bullfight, and finally became famous in the circle.

It's been ten years since his debut, but if he doesn't sing, he's already a blockbuster!
When the box office of the bullfight hit the street, those who laughed at him were so happy, how painful their faces are now!
"I definitely don't have the time for others to find me. You must have time to find me. Hahaha, just kidding. I'm almost too poor to solve the problem. Thank you Jianghu for the emergency. I'll go now."

"You are a movie king, and you can't get rid of it. Aren't we young actors going to starve to death... Let's have dinner together when we have time. See you on the set, bye."

Let Huang Bo, a film king, play the second male lead. To be honest, Yuan Hua is a bit high.

His reputation is higher than that of Huang Bo, and he has acted in popular dramas in the past few years since his debut, but he has never won a heavy award.

You said let the bullets fly more than 6 million at the box office?
Huang Bo: I won Best Actor
New Shanghai Beach ratings explosion?
Huang Bo: I won Best Actor.

I am the special forces annual hot drama, sweeping the same period, known as the benchmark for special forces?
Huang Bo: I won Best Actor
Feng Sheng won two Best Supporting Actor?

Huang Bo: I won Best Actor
Actor, the highest award in the film industry, who doesn't like it, taking it is a proof of strength, even if Yuan Hua is more famous than Huang Bo, and more popular than Huang Bo, he still has to be shorter in front of him.

The reason why he agreed to play Ghost Blowing Lantern this time is that Yuan Hua also wanted to be a best actor.

If he remembers correctly, the movie Past Life was released in 2015, and Bona Huang won the best actor award.

Everything I say this time has to be cut off!
"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

At the door of the office, Yang Siwei knocked on the door with documents in her arms. Yuan Hua was on the phone just now, but she didn't bother.

"Come on, sit down!"

Sitting opposite Yuan Hua, Yang Siwei put the documents on the table: "There are seven copies in total, all of which require your signature."

"Thank you for your hard work. You haven't had much rest since the beginning of the year. The second part of Notes on Tomb Raiders is about to start again. Some of you are busy."

The corner of Yang Siwei's mouth twitched: "It's good if I'm busy. At least it proves that I still have work. If I'm not busy one day, it's over."

"That's what I said, you should also pay attention to rest." While signing, Yuan Hua said: "I gave Hua Yi the Ghost Blowing the Light, they are going to make a movie, the investment is quite large, over [-] million, I will play the male lead .”

"In the next six months, I will run on both sides. I am very relieved that the company will be handed over to you."

With her hands folded in front of her chest, Yang Siwei turned her head and snorted: "Heh, man, you just told me to pay attention to rest, so turn your head and act like a shopkeeper."

After Yuan Hua finished signing, he took out a contract from his drawer: "I also have a contract that needs your signature."

"What contract?" Yang Siwei felt strange.

The boss of the company is Yuan Hua, and it stands to reason that he is the only one to ask for instructions, so why does he ask for instructions to sign?
After taking the contract and looking down, Yang Siwei's heart was pounding, he stood up and gave him a big hug, and even patted his forehead.

"Thank you boss, I will do my best to die."

According to the contract, Yuan Hua arranged for her a new position, artist director.

In the future, she will get 5.00% of the income generated by Yuan Hua's company. Of course, it is only limited to advertising endorsements, commercial performances, film remuneration and the like.

But not less.

Adding the base salary, she, Yang, will be earning a million dollars a year from now on. Can you not be excited?

After joining Yixin for so long, she worked so hard to do anything, not for today.

"Ahem, ahem, you should pay attention." Yuan Hua took a sneak peek, and the employees were all looking this way.

"I know, I'm just so happy."

She already had an annual salary of one million in her 20s, and the wish she made at Orange Blossom did not expect to come true so soon.

After signing his name on the contract, Yang Siwei walked out of the office domineeringly and shouted: "I'm treating you tonight, don't leave!"

Packing up, Yuan Hua planned to get off work, he had a busy day today.

As soon as it was packed, another phone call came, from Charlotte.

He didn't answer, he just hung up.

This is not the first time that Charlotte has called him. The last time he bought a song was rejected, and he had a cold war with him for a few days. After Tomb Notes became popular, he licked his face and said that he wanted to invest in him for the second part. .

He declined.

Then there is the constant harassment.

After walking a few steps, the call came again.

Unable to take it anymore, Yuan Hua answered: "Tomb Raider's Notes is really not short of funds. If you really want to invest, go invest in Huayi. It's also my game, Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon."

"Can you make money?" Charlotte wondered.

"Probably can!"

"What is probably?"

"I'm an actor, not a fortune teller. If I'm [-]% sure, I'll be the richest man in the world!"

As a public figure, being able to swear at Xia Luo shows how angry Yuan Hua is.

This money calls him every day, when eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom, Jing Tian almost thought he was someone outside.

"Okay, brother, I only invested because I believed in you..."

Yuan Hua didn't listen to his bragging, and hung up the phone. To be honest, he didn't know how much money he could make from Blowing the Lamp and Finding the Dragon.

In the previous life, I heard that the box office was good, but that was 15 years ago, and the times were different.

After 13 or 4 years, the film and television industry exploded. Movies worth more than [-] million yuan are like crucian carp crossing the river, and more than a billion yuan is nothing to worry about.

It's not yet the time, how can he know how much he can make, if he invests more than 300 million yuan, if it goes wrong, so he only got [-] million yuan to test the water, if he loses money, he will treat this drama as a waste.
