Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 165 The Legend of the Ancient Sword
Being violently attacked by Huang Xiaoming and Hu Ge, Yang Mi was embarrassed. She was not ashamed to say that the premise of watching ten episodes of Shonan Satellite TV was that she agreed to play the leading role.

Shonan Satellite TV is also one of the top heavyweight TV stations in China, how could it be possible to buy a fairy tale drama that is not a big director or a big production.

That is to say, she is a bit famous, so people dare to ask for it.

Watching the first ten episodes is already very face-saving.

Of course, they said that if one of Huang Xiaoming, Yuan Hua, and Hu Ge plays the leading role, they can buy it before the film starts.

The three big and small students are not built, and if you pull one out randomly, it will either guarantee the box office or the ratings, especially Yuan Hua, who has been too popular in the past two years, and the next stop is the ratings.

"Brother Hua, what do you think?"

Yang Mi once again Aite Yuan Hua.

Yuan Hua was still chatting in the group ten minutes ago, so she should be there at this time, if not, she can only go to the company to find it.

Yuan Hua pointed on the screen and typed quickly: "We can talk, let's go to Laohu restaurant to talk."

"Be there in half an hour!"

Yang Mi put down her phone, picked out a more casual dress to change into, took her car keys and documents and went out.

There is hope if you can talk.

Compared with Huang Xiaoming and Hu Ge, Yuan Huacai is an expert in the film and television industry. He is on an embarrassing journey, Notes on Tomb Raiders, my dear, he has already had rich experience in several plays.

Money and experience are secondary, the key is to be able to produce people. If Yuan Hua agrees to play the leading actor, Shonan Satellite TV will be able to pay immediately.

She has earned the money for sure, and Yuan Hua must join the bandit, even if she pays a high price.

In Shanghai, Hu Ge Restaurant, Yuan Hua parked the car and asked for a private room upstairs with a good view.

Speaking of which, he is also the boss here, but it's just his first time here.

As a boss, the only advantage is that you don’t need to pay for food. Hu Ge said in the group before that everyone can keep accounts for food, and deduct it from the dividend at the end of the month.

After Yuan Hua sat down for more than ten minutes, Yang Mi pushed the door open and entered, walking in a hurry and panting heavily.

It's a pity that I couldn't see the scene of the chest rising and falling.

Big honey is still little honey now.

"I'm sorry Brother Hua, I've been waiting for a long time. If I knew you were at home, I would have come directly to the door."

Yuan Hua picked up the teacup and took a sip: "My house is under surveillance, if you come to the door, I'm afraid I won't survive the next day."

If Jing Tian knew that Yang Mi came to look for him alone, he would have to kill him from the crew and tear him up.

"Yeah, I forgot, you are a person with a family, disrespect and disrespect." Taking out the information and putting it on the table, Yang Mi said, "I won't gossip anymore, you should read it first."

Yuan Hua didn't even lift his eyelids: "Don't look, you made it very clear in the group, and now there is no grassroots team, right?"

"No, the script is already being worked on, and it will come out soon, and the filming team is nothing to worry about. As long as the actors are in place and the location is determined, the film can be started immediately."

Yuan Hua smacked his lips: "You should have become a boss earlier, and you've lost your talent as an actor."

If a layman is here, she might really be fooled by her. Judging from her tone, she makes it seem like she can turn it on at any time. In fact, it is a lot of trouble.

After the script is written, it needs to be reviewed. After the review, there are still a lot of things to do, such as filming license, advertising investment, actor selection, location shooting, costume and prop customization.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

Yang Mi knew that Yuan Hua was not easy to deal with, so she didn't fool him anymore, and directly confessed: "The heroine is tentatively supposed to be me, and Shonan Satellite TV has already contacted them. As long as you come, they can buy it immediately."

Yuan Hua shook his head slowly, Yang Mi was taking advantage of Qian Qian.

"Let me ask first, what is the budget for this movie?"

"About 3000."

"How many episodes?"

"About fifty episodes."

"How much do actors get paid?"

After a moment of silence, Yang Mi said, "Your 700 million, mine [-] million."

Good guy, Yuan Hua clicked his tongue.

His salary for external TV series is about 20 per episode, and it is indeed 1000 million for fifty episodes, but this is the highest limit and can be negotiated.

There is really a good script, and it is not impossible for him to accept 800 million.

Fortunately, Yang Mi offered 200 million directly, which was almost the salary of the top group of TV dramas.

As far as he knows, there are very few domestic TV dramas whose salary exceeds [-] million yuan.

The 700 million that Yang Mi offered herself was a bit high. With her worth, it was not worth the money for the time being, and 500 million could be won.

Now the two of them have 200 million yuan, 700 million yuan, and 900 million yuan, just like that.

You must know that the total budget is only 3000 million.

What can I do with the remaining 100 million, and the salary of the second male lead, the third male lead, and the second female lead and the third female lead.

This is not counting the salary of the crew, the remuneration of the extras, the rent of the venue, the post-editing, and the rendering of special effects.

"Your way, the capitalists will cry when they see it." After holding back for a long time, Yuan Hua said this sentence.

Knowing that she was not a professional, Yang Mi blushed. She really didn't think about being a fine artist, she just wanted to make money.

With her and Yuan Hua around, the scenes were kept simple, and the special effects almost seemed to be fine, as long as Shonan Satellite TV could pay for it.

"How about I add another 500 million budget?"

"500 million?" Yuan Hua sneered: "You can add another 2000 million."

Yang Mi was shocked: "With a budget of 5000 million, I'm crazy!! And Shonan Satellite TV may not necessarily buy it."

A TV series with a budget of 5000 million is already a high-end production in the market, and it is generally only a big director and a big company that can afford it.

She only makes so much money a year, so she doesn't dare to take risks.

Leaning his elbows on the table, Yuan Hua explained: "Xianxia dramas cost the most special effects. I said 5000 million is still a little. Besides, how do you know that Shonan Satellite TV doesn't sell them?"

"If you just want to make a one-shot deal, I advise you not to look for me, I'm afraid of being blacklisted by Shonan Satellite TV."

No one is an idiot, even if they are willing to pay for it, when the finished film comes out, they will not hate him when they see that it is such a thing.

Xiaomi is still too young.

"If you really want 5000 million, we can only cooperate with the two of us, and each will contribute a part of the money." After thinking for a while, Yang Mi planned to share the risk equally: "As for the actors, we two will be the male and female leads, and you will give the second female lead and the third female lead." I'll keep it, I'll welcome the newcomer."

Picking up the teacup again, Yuan Hua said calmly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to act."

As he spoke, he took out the latest semi-smart phone and clicked on the photo album to show her a photo.

His medical card.

After filming the scorching sun, he went to a big hospital for an examination, and the situation was much more serious than he had imagined.

The body stretching the hips is second, and there are also psychological problems.

Insomnia, anxiety, some depression.

In short, I can no longer film in a short time.

"Ah, here." Yang Mi was startled: "Then you came to see me?"

Putting away the phone, Yuan Hua said indifferently: "Although I can't act, it doesn't mean that other people can't act. Li Yifeng from our company will play the male lead. Do you think it will work?"

"Forehead……"

Yang Mi was a bit reluctant to let Li Yifeng play the male lead. She has a higher status than Li Yifeng. Wouldn't it be flattering to play the male lead with him?
She has no one herself.

"Can you change someone, such as Brother Xiao Ming, or Hu Ge?"

Leaning back on the chair, Yuan Hua said, "Then there's nothing to talk about."

Can Huang Xiaoming and Hu Ge come to play?It's so powerful, anyway, no investment is needed, as long as the salary is in place.

Yang Mi is one of the four female roles, she is still very popular, and she doesn't lose her reputation when she cooperates with her.

"I, can I think about it, my mind is a bit messed up."

"Okay, think about it slowly, I've been idle for a while." Yuan Hua got up and was about to leave, and after taking two steps, he turned around and asked, "By the way, did you buy the copyright of Gu Jian Qi Tan?"

Yang Mi's heart tightened, worried about being pried into the corner of the wall, she hurriedly said: "I bought it, I bought it."

Yuan Hua smiled playfully: "Miss, I said I bought it and made it myself."

Yang Mi couldn't laugh.

In the afternoon, she contacted Gu Jian Qi Tan Game Company. She spent 800 million yuan to acquire the film and television copyright. In the evening, she contacted Yuan Hua, saying that she could talk again.

I bought the copyright, if I don't shoot it, it will just rot in my hands.

The next day, Yang Mi came to Yixin Film and Television.

The two companies invested together. In addition to the copyright fee, she paid another 2000 million, and Yixin paid 300 million. After selling the play, she will get a [-]-[-] share.

Yixin is responsible for the shooting team, post-production, special effects company, and sales.

In the end, Yuan Hua abruptly cut Yang Mi's salary by 300 million to 400 million, and Li Yifeng's was less, 100 million.

The general direction was about the same, and Yang Mi talked about the small details: "I plan to let Reba play the second female lead Fuqu, and the third female fox spirit Xiangling Xiaoshuang is pretty good, she is quite popular now."

Yuan Hua pursed his lips, dared to use Shuang Zi, Gu Jian Qi Tan would be sealed in a few years.

"Forget about Xiao Shuang, let Tan Songyun come, she is no worse than Xiao Shuang in this kind of eccentric drama."

"Where is the second male prince, Changqin?"

"The male god in ancient costume, Qiao Zhenyu."

"Alright, where's the male No. [-] real Ziyin?"

"The ancient costume male god Zhang Zhiyao."

Yang Mi said weakly: "Is this coffee position a bit big, is the budget enough?"

Qiao Zhenyu and Zhang Zhiyao are both excellent actors in the field of ancient costumes. They are not cheap. Qiao Zhenyu is better, more than 100 million should be able to knock down, and Zhang Zhiyao may need more than 200 million.

"Otherwise, why do you think there is a budget of more than 5000 million yuan?" After glaring at her, Yuan Hua continued: "By the way, leave a role for Yang Yang and Zhao Liying, and you can watch it, and the rest will be open to the public."

Well, the main lineup has been decided in a few words, and the remaining small supporting roles will be publicly selected. Yang Mi has seen how dark Yuan Hua is.

"After the script comes out, let's talk to Shonan Satellite TV. After the price is negotiated, we can decide the supporting role. It's useless to talk about it now. If you don't buy it there, the filming will be for nothing."

"I know, so I have already contacted Shonan Satellite TV. Let's go to Shonan when your script comes out."

"So fast?"

"Men, hurry up."

"I'm afraid it's not your kidney that hurt you."

……

On Monday, when the script came out, Yuan Hua and Yang Mi took a trip to southern Hunan.

As soon as I got off the plane, a hot air hit my face.

The hot weather is like a big steamer, stuffing the city in a pot.

Fortunately, someone from Shonan Satellite TV came to pick them up, and the two of them got in the car and were blown by the air conditioner, making them much more comfortable.

When passing by the Shonan International Convention and Exhibition Center, Yuan Hua said with emotion that Shonan Satellite TV is really a local tyrant, and the convention and exhibition center is the back garden of their home, where New Year's Eve concerts and large-scale variety show recordings are usually performed here.

Anytime, anywhere, you can use it as you want.

The distance from Taili is not far, a few hundred meters, and it takes ten minutes to walk.

When the convention center is not in use, it is rented out to singers for concerts. It is said to be very popular, and you have to queue up, and you have to make an appointment three months in advance.

"Teachers, here we are!"

At the entrance of Shonan Satellite TV, the two got out of the car and went to the leader of the station under the guidance of the staff.

When passing by a corridor, Wang Han came to meet him, holding a document in his hand, looking down, suddenly looked up and saw Yang Mi and Yuan Hua.

"Hello, Teacher Yuan Hua, Hello, Teacher Yang Mi, I'm Wang Han, the host of Tian Tian Shang."

After walking a few steps quickly, Wang Han stopped to say hello.

Wang Han's current image is similar to his previous life, wearing glasses and growing a beard. The only difference is that his hairstyle is the oblique bangs that are very popular nowadays.

"Hello."

Yang Mi was not familiar with Wang Han, but He Ling, the first brother in Taili, was familiar with him. Knowing that he was not well-known, he just nodded indifferently.

"Hello." Yuan Hua was much more enthusiastic, took the initiative to shake hands, and greeted him with a smile.

The two parties just met in a hurry without having a deep chat, and passed by quickly.

With a bunch of glasses on the bridge of the nose, Wang Han stared at the two people's backs going away, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gu Jian Qi Tan invested more than 5000 million. If Shonan Satellite TV wants to buy it, it must be more than 5000 million. It is a big business with tens of millions, and it cannot be negotiated in a day or two.

Yang Mi and Yuan Hua stayed in southern Hunan for four or five days.

In the middle of the trip, the leader of the film purchase company invited He Ling and Wang Han to accompany him.

On the sixth day in southern Shonan, cooperation matters fell under the hammer.

Taili still didn't buy it directly, just Yang Mi and Li Yifeng. The risk was too great, and it might hit the street.

They offered another way of cooperation, paying part of the funds first, and after the finished film is shot, it will be broadcast on the TV station, and the final payment will be based on the ratings.

Yuan Hua and Yang Mi had to break 3 ratings if they wanted to keep their capital, and 4 if they wanted to make money.

Not too much pressure.

The users of several major video websites in the past few years are not as scary as they will be in 14, and ordinary people still watch a lot of TV dramas.

Shonan Satellite TV is also a leading big TV station with a large number of viewers, and usually wins the championship. As long as the drama is not too bad and the quality is above average, it is not a problem to break 3.

It is a bit difficult to break through 4. In addition to the excellent drama, the station must push it hard, such as the issue of broadcast time.

The prime time at eight o'clock and the midnight shift after ten o'clock are completely different concepts.

This kind of requirement is almost the same as betting against each other. It is just an unfair one-sided betting. If you win, you get what you should get, and if you lose, you lose money.

Sellers need to have confidence in their work.

After hearing Shonan Satellite TV's request, Yang Mi withdrew that night.

It really exceeded her psychological expectations, and she was afraid of losing.

No better than Yuan Hua, she lost all her fortune this time, and she lost everything when she lost.

In the restaurant of the hotel, Yuan Hua crossed his legs and said, "You know he is amazing, no one is a fool, you still have time to quit now."

"I will still invite you to be the heroine, and I will also invite Reba from your studio. I will take care of this drama."

Yang Mi's face was strange: "You don't want to wait for me to go, do you?"

Of course, she alone can't shake Shonan Satellite TV. Yuan Hua is different. As long as Yuan Hua plays the role, they will change their tone every minute.

Pointing to the mobile phone, Yuan Hua said: "I check the post eight times a day, and when I go to the bathroom, I have to compare myself to take pictures, and I am not allowed to film movies."

Rubbing her temples, Yang Mi sighed: "Let me think about it, I'll give you an answer tomorrow.".
