Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 327 Happy Cooperation
What is the most important thing in filming these days, money?

Money is the father.

Although the salary limit order has reduced the actors' remuneration, the cost of a film is still very high. In an era of [-]-[-] million investment, [-]-[-] million can only be called a small and medium cost.

With so much money, you won't be able to get them out of everything.

Countless whimsy and dreams were stranded.

You are not well-known, and you can't attract investors even if you want to, so who cares about you.

From an actor's point of view, it is also very difficult to find a leading role, but every movie that goes to theaters, behind every casting is a capital game, a bloody storm.

Without connections, strength, and a strong agency, it is very difficult to play the heroine for the last time.

After so many years of debut, at least Zhang Xiaofei and Jia Ling have never acted as leading actresses.

It's not that they don't want to act, they really can't win the role.

Now Yuan Hua came up to help them make movies with funds. With the strength of Yixin Film and Television, a few hundred million is not a big deal.

Not only money, but also the shooting team, and even post-production, publicity, distribution and release are all resolved.

The key starring team is given to them, which is the most touching.

Zhang Xiaofei looked at Jia Ling eagerly. If there were not so many people, she would have wanted to knock Jia Ling's head down and kowtow to Yuan Hua on the spot.

Jia Ling met Zhang Xiaofei's hungry gaze, and she could see it, the words "quick promise" were written in her eyeballs.

Well, Li Huanying’s sketch is about her daughter being admitted to college, her mother falling down, and her emotions going up and down, her daughter travels to the 80s, and when her mother Li Huanying was young, the mother and daughter met when they were young...

In this sketch, Zhang Xiaofei plays the role of mother Li Huanying, and Jia Ling plays Jia Xiaoling in her true colors. If it is adapted into a movie, and the framework remains the same, it will not be surprising that this will be a movie with two female protagonists.

So Zhang Xiaofei was very excited after hearing Yuan Hua say that the starring team would not change.

She and Yang Mi are classmates. It has been ten years since she graduated. Yang Mi has long been a popular actress, but she is still unknown. Now that she is 32 years old, how many times will she have a chance to stand up?
This time may be the only chance in her life to change her destiny, and she has to seize it.

"Brother Hua, is it true or not?" Jia Ling smiled bitterly after being stunned for a few seconds.

"Of course it's true. I've seen your sketch, and it's worth adapting. If you want, we'll shoot it. We'll find someone to adapt it later. It will be released next year."

Yuan Hua said with a smile.

"If you want, I'll let you be the director. You arranged this sketch. No one should be more familiar with it than you."

Does Jia Ling have the ability to direct?Yuan Hua is not sure. Although she graduated from Chinese opera, she is studying in a junior college class of Chinese opera, majoring in cross talk.

Judging from his experience in the industry for so many years, even if there is, it must not be much higher.

But it is not important.

How many directors who have changed careers these days are capable?
In addition to the executive director, there are four or five assistant directors in a production crew, and Jia Ling is not bad at all. Her name is more for publicity.

For this gimmick, many people can be attracted to the cinema.

"Ah, this." Jia Ling scratched her head: "It was a bit sudden, and I couldn't calm down. If you are not busy, let me think about it all night, and I will give you an answer tomorrow morning."

"Yes, it should."

After chatting for a while, Yuan Hua left space for Jia Ling to go to other places by himself. As soon as he left, Jia Ling's place became lively.

Zhang Xiaofei grabbed Jia Ling's arm and said excitedly, "Sister Ling, good news, you're going to post this time."

"I didn't even drop my horoscope. To tell you the truth, I panicked a lot."

"Someone gives you money and resources to support you, so there's no need to panic. If you lose money, it's not your money. We have nothing to lose."

"That being said, I'm not prepared at all. I'll think about it after the New Year's Eve concert is over."

The cake Yuan Hua gave was too big, and she still hasn't recovered from it.

When other artists change careers and become directors, they either sell their houses or cars, or take all their savings. She doesn't need anything, the money and the crew are arranged by someone, just show her face.

For a moment, she wondered if Yuan Hua wanted to use her to launder money.

Guan Xiaotong said in an envious tone: "Sister Ling, I think you are worrying too much. If I change it, I won't think about it. Yixin Film and Television's drama is not good."

Don't think people call her Beijing Gege, she also knows many directors, and it is not easy to play a heroine with an investment of over [-] million.

There are so many investors in a movie, and there are many interests involved. When it comes to money, it doesn't matter who you are.

Businessmen value profits, they only look at whether you have commercial value and whether it is beneficial to them.

Jing Tian came to Yuan Hua's side, gave him an elbow on the chest, looked at Jia Ling and said, "They don't look very well, what did you say?"

Covering his chest, Yuan Hua coughed a few times: "It's nothing, I just want to invest in an adaptation of Jia Ling's sketch."

"It's new to adapt a sketch to a movie." Supporting Yuan Hua's shoulder with one hand, Jing Tian stroked his chin and pondered: "Is the risk too great? Are you worried that next year's performance will not meet the standard, and you will go to the doctor in an emergency?"

"I have already decided on the project for next year. This is a private investment and will not go through the company channel."

"So confident?"

"of course."

In Li Huanying's previous life, the box office was 40 billion, and the release was postponed continuously, and finally the box office was more than 50 billion.

Yuan Hua doesn't know the specific investment amount, but judging from the viewing effect, the cost will not be too large. The production cost is about more than one hundred million yuan, and with the promotion and distribution, it may be two to three hundred million yuan.

Yuan Hua is willing to place a bet of two to three billion to more than 50 billion.

Even if the film does not have a box office of more than 50 billion, even if it is 20 billion, he will still make money.

This bet is almost guaranteed to pay off, only a fool would not do it.

He also never thought about using the company channel to bet against Huayi that there is Wandering Earth, the box office revenue there is enough to complete the bet, and Li Huanying is completely at the expense of others.

So in this wave, if he does it himself.

……

It took several hours for New Year's Eve, and Yuan Hua and Jing Tian came on stage relatively early. After singing, they went back to the hotel to rest. It was almost twelve o'clock when they returned to the stage to participate in the New Year's Eve countdown.

"TEN, NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN, SIX, FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE, [-], HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!"

At the end of the New Year's Eve, Jia Ling immediately called Master Feng Gong, told about Yuan Hua, and asked for his opinion.

Speaking of which, she is not a child anymore, but in front of an old Jianghu like Yuan Hua, she feels a little unappreciative, worried that there will be too many pitfalls, and she has to find someone who can make up her mind.

Feng Gong is such a person.

Lao Feng is her master who kowtows to her teacher and serves tea, and has a very good relationship with her.

Back then, she was a fledgling, just emerging, and relying on her talent, she arranged a sketch to sign up for the language program of the Spring Festival Gala. She passed both the first trial and the second trial, but not the latter.

With the sketch, she went to another TV station to perform. Just after recording, a call came from the Spring Festival Gala, saying that she wanted to use her sketch.

The skits in the Spring Festival Gala must be the first broadcast. If it is broadcast here first, the Spring Festival Gala will not be available.

At that time, it was Master Feng Gong who came out and spent the whole night on the phone, looking for connections and people, and finally suppressed the program here, and then broadcast it after the Spring Festival Gala.

In the Spring Festival Gala that year, she became an instant hit.

Comedy actresses in the field of sketches have produced Song Dandan for so many years, and she is one of the few famous ones.

It was because Master took advantage of her that year that she has achieved what she is today.

So when she encounters any major issues, she will discuss them with her master.

In the morning, Yuan Hua came to the hotel lobby, and Jia Ling, who hadn't slept all night, was waiting for her.

"I got up so early, I've been waiting for a long time."

Let Jing Tian take the child into the car first, and he walked over.

With two dark circles under her eyes, Jia Ling smiled and said, "It's not early, I just came."

Yuan Hua laughed: "I haven't slept all night, how about thinking about it?"

"Think it over, thank Brother Hua for giving me this opportunity, it is a great honor to cooperate with Yixin Film and Television."

Master told her last night that a comedian cannot be a lifelong comedian, especially a female comedian, if she can get on the shore, she will go ashore.

Let her do it freely, and the master will know what's going on.

She didn't sleep all night, and she came to squat Yuan Hua in the lobby early this morning.

Only she knows the suffering of a female comedian. Playing ugly on the stage every day, making people happy, feels uncomfortable.

Worrying that the audience won't like her if she loses weight, she has been afraid to lose weight for so many years.

As a girl, who doesn't like to be pretty, and who doesn't like to wear long skirts to show off her figure on the red carpet, she can't do it.

Encouraged by her master, she made up her mind to cooperate with Yuan Hua and accept her investment. There will be a special lawyer during the contract signing process, and she can't be fooled even if she wants to.

If he knew what Jia Ling was thinking, Yuan Hua would definitely laugh out loud. He never thought of deceiving others from the beginning to the end.

PS: Damn, I slept in the afternoon yesterday, and woke up at 02:30 in the middle of the night, thinking it was evening, I was so dazed at the time, it took me a while to remember that I didn’t write a single word.
