Top actors of Huayu

Chapter 219 You are a little ambitious.

(The investment in the last chapter was written less, and it was revised to a total investment of 8500 million.)
After choosing the heroine candidate, the next step is the choice of actors for the second male lead and the second female lead.

Since it is decided to use this drama as idol love, and the second male lead and the second female lead will also have emotional lines with each other, then handsome men and beautiful women are naturally indispensable.

You can't always eat the cake by yourself, you have to share some with others.

Therefore, Zhang Feiyu intends to choose these two candidates from other external brokerage companies.

He was too lazy to think about who they were.

Anyway, there is only one requirement, the male actor should be handsome and tall.

An actress needs to be beautiful and have a good figure.

After Zhang Feiyu passed on his choice of actor, Feitian Film and Television soon launched a new round of plan selection for this actor.

In the end, a new budget plan came out, and the total investment was still about 500 million, but the proportion of capital investment was different.

Zhang Feiyu nodded, quite satisfied with the new budget plan.

In this new plan, because Zhang Feiyu asked not to invite South Korean actresses, but to use artists from his own studio.

Therefore, the proportion of the actor's remuneration is allocated to the publicity and special effects production.

In this way, the special effects of the screen produced by this program will definitely be very exquisite.

It is no longer the fifty-cent special effects like the majority of domestic dramas.

If it wasn't for some tax issues, otherwise Zhang Feiyu would have wanted to act with zero pay.

After all, the money belongs to him, and if he pays himself for the film, isn't that the right hand instead of the left hand?

Then it's time to choose the broadcast platform and co-production company.

Zhang Feiyu wants to make this drama a hit, so it is inevitable to say hello to other film and television companies or platforms.

Even if the cooperation fails, don't offend them, let alone let them trip the show.

For example, deliberately blocking episode search, or lowering the weight of episode search, etc.

As the current webcasting platform TOP, Kiwi has the largest traffic.

Two of Zhang Feiyu's works were aired on Kiwi before. The last time "Screaming Night", the boss of Kiwi also greeted him, and they have a little friendship with each other.

But for businessmen, this little friendship is not enough for them to make concessions for their own interests.

Although they are optimistic about this work starring Zhang Feiyu, they also feel that they are the number one platform for webcasting, and the cooperation between the two parties is mutually beneficial.

Therefore, when Feitian Film and Television completed the project approval of "The Lonely and Brilliant God and Ghost" and gave the word in the industry, it wanted to choose the premiere platform.

Kiwi came to the door, but the quotation it gave was only so-so, only 1 million, which was far from what Zhang Feiyu expected.

The investment cost is so high, and he can only earn 1500 million yuan, and he has to pay taxes. A drama does not earn as much as his film salary, and the picture is broken.

Followed by the cool platform, as a major film and television platform backed by Ali e-commerce.

Although the platform traffic is not as good as that of Kiwifruit, it is still well-known in the industry. At least other Sohu, Kuaishi and others are not rivals at all.

But I don't know if it is a little dissatisfied that Zhang Feiyu has not chosen to cooperate with them before.

The quotation that the cool platform came to him was even lower than that of Kiwifruit, 9000 million.

500 million more than the production cost, the exclusive broadcasting rights are needed, and the beggars are dismissed.

Although Zhang Feiyu silently dropped his pass in his heart, he didn't express it on the surface, but said that he still needs to think about it and discuss it with other executives of the company.

Then there is the third film and television platform that Zhang Feiyu is looking forward to.

Penguin Video.

Most of the drama series invested by Feitian Film and Television before were selected by Penguin Film and Television.

The two sides are in a sense of the honeymoon period.

And as Penguin Film and Television, which is backed by Penguin and has a big business, it came up with a very generous offer.

1.1 million.

Zhang Feiyu thought for a while, but did not give an answer immediately.

On the contrary, the person in charge of Penguin Film and Television quietly revealed a piece of news to Zhang Feiyu.

It means that Penguin Films and Television really wanted to offer 1 million yuan, which is the same as kiwifruit.

The reason why there will be an extra 1000 million at this time is purely because the two companies are in good cooperation.

The 1000 million yuan should be regarded as the cost of maintaining the relationship between the two parties.

Zhang Feiyu was noncommittal about this.

When he was a child, a businessman could not get up early without profit, and as a leader in the industry, Penguin was even more so.

The reason why they gave such an offer must be that this drama has something worthy.

Otherwise you want merchants to give you money for free?

It's not a dream.

In fact, a show can earn 2500 million, and that's when the show doesn't have any popular actors.

It is already a very good condition.

For some other crews, even if the episodes are all filmed, they may not be able to recover the cost.

Unlike Zhang Feiyu's drama, before the filming of the series officially started, the platform offered a buyout offer and made a profit.

It can be said that if Zhang Feiyu really wanted money.

It is absolutely possible to use this drama to collect funds after the production of the drama is completed, and immediately start the shooting plan of the next drama.

Although Zhang Feiyu still has a lot of cash flow.

But money, no one thinks there is too much money.

It's just that, after all, this is the first work Zhang Feiyu's company invested with a cost close to [-] million.

He is also confident that this drama will become a hit.

Just selling 1.1 million yuan and earning 2500 million yuan, I'm really not reconciled when I think about it.

Undecided, Zhang Feiyu once again held a meeting within Feitian Film and Television, and most of the top executives were inclined to agree to Penguin's offer.

This made Zhang Feiyu feel a little disappointed, but immediately after, Zhong Lifen's words made his eyes shine.

"Mr. Zhang, if you are not satisfied with this offer, and you are confident that this show will become a hit, how about this, let's set up a betting agreement with Penguin Films and Television, and use the number of broadcasts as the benchmark to reach How about just a few percentage points more for the playback volume?"

Zhang Feiyu thought for a while and said.

"However, taking the playback volume as the benchmark, it is easy to be faked by the platform, right? If our playback volume has clearly reached that benchmark, but they deliberately adjusted the data and lowered them, what should we do?"

Zhong Lifen continued.

"If the number of broadcasts is used as the benchmark, it may be faked. Then we can change the way. Instead of buying out the whole unit, we will adopt a lower limit base price plus ad share, plus paid click share. Everything speaks by performance, and requires Penguin Film and television and we make the data of this drama transparent."

"However, in this way, if the show hits the market, we may not even be able to recover the cost."

said one executive.

"This is not good, the risk is too high."

"After all, they are all newcomers. Although Mr. Zhang himself has some fame, after all, he alone can't fully carry the call for the broadcast volume of the whole drama."

Other executives talked a lot, and they were not very optimistic about this plan.

"Isn't there a lower limit for the reserve price? That reserve price can protect our costs."

Zhong Lifen said noncommittally.

"If you want high profits, how can you not take risks?"

"If it really doesn't work, we can only work on publicity and distribution. Since the actors are not enough, we should spread more advertisements."

Zhong Lifen's suggestion is heart-warming, but the words of other executives are not unreasonable.

The risks of doing so are too great.

Even if there is a reserve price to protect the cost, what kind of figure the reserve price should be set at is another question.

After all, Penguin Film and Television is not a fool.

They buy dramas to make a profit, and it is impossible to do charity for nothing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Feiyu felt a little headache.

If this is really the case, maybe he will replace the hostess and choose other popular actresses in the front line.

But in the industry, there are almost no first-line and his age, and even if there are, they are not up to standard in other aspects.

For example, Zhou Dongyu.

And if he is looking for Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Liu Yufei and others.

The age gap with him is too big.

"Well, let's do this first. I'll think about it first. After everyone goes down, you can also think about whether there are other better plans. Today's meeting will be held here first."

Zhang Feiyu's head hurts, so he can only dismiss the meeting temporarily.

Before he knew it, he walked over to Feitian Entertainment Studio.

Came to Mo Xiangwan's office.

It is undeniable that although Mo Xiangwan is his subordinate in name, he gave Zhang Feiyu a lot of reference and suggestions in some aspects.

Therefore, he was also willing to listen to Mo Xiangwan's answers on many things.

After listening to Zhang Feiyu's embarrassment.

Mo Xiangwan nodded to show she understood, and after thinking for a while, she said.

"Boss, I think, in fact, you are a bit too ambitious... Judging from the current situation, we should make as much profit as possible while keeping the production cost, but what I heard from you seems to be Is it possible to make a lot of money through a drama? To be honest, I don’t quite agree with Mr. Zhong’s proposal. It is impossible for Penguin Movies and Television to agree to this proposal. Don’t think my words are harsh, after all, your current situation The famous coffee position is not as good as Brother Hu..."

One word awakened the dreamer, and Zhang Feiyu was startled.

That's right, the current him is just a newcomer actor who is not well-known in the entertainment industry.

Although I have appeared in many productions, none of them have been aired yet.

There is no specific translation into his popularity and word of mouth.

An actor whose future is uncertain and who does not know what the future will hold.

Plus an all-new lineup.

It seems to be a series of big investment and big production.

Even if Zhang Feiyu knew that this show would become a hit when it aired.

But others don't know.

The world does not rely on itself to maintain its operation, but on itself, others and society.

How could the platform pay for his future?
Besides, how did Zhang Feiyu know that this drama would become a hit?

Although he was a hit in Korean dramas before, that's right.

But now Zhang Feiyu has localized the show.

And the actors have changed too.

Based on China's national conditions and soil.

It's hard not to say whether this drama can reproduce the success of its previous life.

It's also hard not to guarantee that this drama will be stopped by Optoelectronics in the middle of the broadcast because it involves gods and monsters, and it will still be aborted.

Right now, the quotation given by Penguin Film and Television is not insincere.

But Zhang Feiyu wanted more, no wonder Mo Xiangwan said that he was a bit too ambitious.

No wonder people often say what kind of mess you were in your previous life. If you are a loser, Luther.

Even if there is an afterlife, you may not be able to become a successful person.

Because the reason why you failed must have a reason, which not only includes many factors such as character, vision, and means.

Zhang Feiyu was just a second-tier actor in his previous life, and had been working for other companies.

In this life, it is the first time that I take the helm and decide the direction of a company with full power.

It was okay to say before, because there was only a cost of 4000 to [-] million, and I was just a newcomer.

So Zhang Feiyu's decision is a bit random, he doesn't care much about gains and losses, he just wants to increase his popularity as much as possible through these dramas.

But now, with the popularity, the investment cost has reached almost [-] million.

Zhang Feiyu became a little swollen and began to want more.

Thinking of this, Zhang Feiyu felt a little ashamed.

He has been a human being for two lives, but he is not as clear as a 30-year-old woman.

"Sister Xiang Wan, thank you, I know what choice I should make."

Zhang Feiyu said gratefully.

In this life, the most fearful thing is that there is no guide, or no one to help you correct your mistakes.

Now that he has made a mistake and realized the problem, he naturally needs to make corrections immediately.

After bidding farewell to Mo Xiangwan, Zhang Feiyu returned to Feitian Film and Television Company and called many high-level meetings.

At the meeting, he sincerely admitted his mistakes to everyone and told the fact that he was a little ambitious.

The executives expressed their understanding of this, and they laughed and said that everyone is like this, they all want more, and they all want to make money for the company.

Zhang Feiyu didn't investigate whether there were any truths or lies in these words.

Just regarding the quotation given by Penguin Film and Television, he asked the executives for advice to see if he could get a higher quotation.

"A higher quotation is probably a little bit hanging. In a play, the director, screenwriter, actors, soundtrack, post-production special effects production, and scenery will all affect the quotation. After all, the upper limit of our show is there. Director, screenwriter , the actors are not very well-known, and the post-production special effects did not say that they are looking for a big-name company in Hollywood."

An executive makes an opinion.

"What about the soundtrack?"

asked an executive.

"After Immortal Sword, it will be difficult to produce phenomenal TV drama theme song soundtracks. If you find some Tianwang Tianhou to sing the theme song, and increase the production cost, the loss outweighs the gain."

"As for the soundtrack, because the main tone of this show is sadness and healing, so we should find singers who fit this style, let alone the kings and queens."

Zhang Feiyu remembers that there were many theme songs and episodes of "The Lonely and Brilliant God and Ghost" in his previous life, and the most famous of them was "Stay With Me", which was once called a battle song by the audience.

This song is a mixture of Korean and English, and if the lyrics are localized, then the singer will naturally have to find mainlanders and change them to Chinese and English.

"The soundtrack is on the one hand, isn't there still a set, no green screen, all use real scenes, I remember that the script in this play has many foreign scenes? What about the enlarged maple forest, what else? Scenes such as grasslands and castles all use real scenes.”

Zhong Lifen said.

As a professional manager, her advice always hits the nail on the head.

"this is okay."

Zhang Feiyu agreed.

He also hated those green-screen sets, by the way.

When South Korea filmed this drama in the previous life, they could find suitable sets within their narrow territory.

China's mountains and rivers are so magnificent and beautiful, can't you find a more suitable scenery for shooting than South Korea?
