Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 341 Investing [-] Million

Not long after Yuan Hua sent out the voting list, the phone ringing never stopped.

Artists with great powers directly found his phone number and wanted to play a role, and the boss of the company who didn't have enough coffee seats would do it himself.

Those who are weaker do not have his phone number, so they ask someone to ask for WeChat, or ask someone to relay it.

There are thousands of emails in his mailbox, all of which are self-recommended actors, some are acting school students, some are special actors in Hengdian, and some have been in the circle for several years, but their reputation is not obvious.

Generally young people are in the majority, especially young girls.

It is estimated that I have some understanding of the original novel. Many artists are targeted to play a certain role, personal resume, ancient costume appearance, and the roles they have played in the past are sent by email one by one. When posting ancient costume pictures, Some people even seduced him.

Without a manager, Yuan Hua had to do all these tasks by himself. For two days, he basically sat in front of the computer.

After another week, the voting time stopped, and the number of votes behind the name of the actor who ranked first in the role was as low as one million, and the highest was over [-] million.

After the list was counted, Yuan Hua took the last step and called to invite.

It is true that the candidate has been selected, but it still depends on whether the right person has time. If the person is not willing to act, everything is useless. The other is the salary, schedule, and see if we can negotiate.

"Mr. He, I'm Yuan Hua. We have a drama. Netizens have high expectations for you. I hope you will act in..."

"Thank you, teacher, hello, hello..."

"Old Hu, come to live."

"Miss, this time you will come here for whatever you want, bring Reba with you, pay, talk about pay, won't you?"

"Little Zhao..."

Not long after Yuan Hua made the phone call, various artists also announced on the Internet that they had accepted the invitation and would join the group regularly.

I saw that the emerging artists are getting bigger and bigger, and some are old actors who didn't participate in the voting, but still have roles.

"Congratulations to my sister for playing the role of Wang Chudong, looking forward to your performance."

"congratulations."

"Yuan Hua is awesome, he really pulled Hu Ge in, and Huo Jianhua is also there, okay?"

"Xie Junhao, the former Jiu Sword Immortal, Nanhai Shisanlang, the man who defeated Zhang Guorong, Li Chungang in his heart."

"Yang Mi, Reba, Zhao Liying, Jing Tian, ​​Bai Lu, Li Xin, Liu Yifei... Is Yuan Hua going against the heavens?"

"Teacher Chen Daoming is also there, as well as Hu Jun, Wu Gang, Li Jianyi, and many national first-class actors."

"I just want to know, how much did it cost to hire these actors?"

"To be honest, with this lineup, not to mention acting, even filming everyone's life on the set should be watched by many people."

"Why is there no brother from our family? He obviously voted very high, and there are shady things."

"Yuan Hua came out and explained why someone was selected but didn't receive an invitation?"

There are not many actors in the first part of Swordsman in the Snow, but it can't stand the big names. Most of them are first-line entertainers, movie kings, Shidi, and national first-class actors.

While other artists posted that they had received invitations, those who did not receive invitations were a bit embarrassed, especially those who voted highly.

In this regard, Yuan Hua gave his own explanation: "First, the role does not match the character, and second, the salary and schedule are not agreed."

In order to get their idols on the list, some fans swiped tickets with their arms around each other. They obviously have a horse face and no experience in film and television shooting, so they dare to join in.

A few artists were selected, and their appearance was suitable, but the price could not be negotiated.

It's not that Yuan Hua is reluctant to spend money, but that Knife in the Snow is a group drama. Except for the protagonist and a few people around the protagonist, most people don't have many dramas, and the salary is only hundreds of thousands, or several million.

He can only give hundreds of thousands, and others want millions, tens of millions, and it's fine if the two sides can't agree.

Of course, the main reason is that the other party’s celebrity is not big enough. If it’s an eye-catching character, and the netizens’ voices are high, Yuan Hua is still willing to spend more money, such as Liu Yifei and Hu Ge.

end of January.

"Officially, the martial arts team is Yuan Jiaban from Xiangjiang, the martial arts instructor is Yuan Baye, the world's number one martial arts finger, and the special effects team is also from Xiangjiang."

For martial arts dramas, martial arts is the most important thing, and half of the success is achieved when martial arts is done well, so Yuan Hua specially spent a lot of money to hire Yuan Jiaban.

Although Swordsman in the Snow is a martial arts film, it is actually biased towards fantasy, and special effects are naturally indispensable. Some special effects companies in the mainland are hard to describe, so he looked for Xiangjiang.

If you think about 20 years ago, the special effects of Legend of Shushan could beat 90.00% of the five Xianxia dramas on the market, and you can see how many people are doing badly.

You know, Chuan Shushan is a movie made in the [-]s. I don't know if I blush in the current fairy tale dramas or martial arts dramas.

It's okay to say that the special effects are poor, and he can't do martial arts, and he can't even do somersaults with swords and flowers.

Liu Yifei was only seventeen or eighteen years old when he was filming The Legend of Condor Heroes, and he could ride a horse, dance a sword, and complete various difficult movements by himself.

How many of the current actors ride real horses?
Not to mention riding a horse, even if there is a slight split, you have to stand in for the shot.

So this time when signing the contract with the actors, Yuan Hua specially marked in the contract that those with martial arts dramas would join the group half a month in advance, and those without martial arts dramas would join the group one week in advance.

Come if you can accept martial arts scenes, don't come if you can't.

In February, the crew's official Weibo released photos of the actors' makeup.

In March, the launch conference was officially held.

At the meeting, a reporter asked how much the movie was invested in, and Yuan Hua said [-] million.

Among them, actors' remuneration accounted for the bulk.

Among the staff, there are more than 400 people in martial arts, photography, art, lighting, props, costumes, and make-up, and their daily salary exceeds 20.

This is not counted as group performances. There are several scenes that require thousands of group performances who can ride horses, and no one can afford to pay hundreds of dollars a day.

Special effects also cost money. As the production crew started up, people from the special effects company also entered the set. They were busier than the actors. Of the [-] million investment in this film, more than [-] million was spent on special effects.

"Move the red armor, Lavia's attention and cooperation, one, two, three, up!"

"Mr. Xie can go, okay, perfect, the upside-down camera stand-in."

"Thank you teacher for making up the shot."

On the set, the crew was filming the scene of the battle against Fu Jiang's red armor, which also used stuntmen.

Yuan Hua is not an unreasonable person. There are very few actors who are all-round. It is impossible to train as professional as a martial arts actor in a short period of time. They cannot do some moves.

For those actions that couldn't be done, he allowed Yuan Jiaban's substitute.

But what can be done is to let the actors try their best to overcome the difficulties and do it by themselves.

In June, the crew wrapped up.

It took three months to shoot a movie, [-] episodes before and after, and an average of ten episodes a month, which is very slow in the field of TV dramas.

However, post-production is not much longer than shooting.

Yuan Hua was not idle when the TV series was in the later stage, and pulled a group of leading actors to record the theme song.

The tide of the world!
He didn't write this song, but a version that existed a few years ago, and he bought the copyright.

PS: The next chapter will be later, but it will definitely come out before twelve o'clock.
