The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 68
At ten o'clock in the morning on February 2001, 2, the temperature in the Yanjing area rose a lot, and it seemed that spring was coming.

In the conference room of Fenghua Film and Television Company, Li Shengyao sat on one side, and two middle-aged men sat opposite him.

These two people are the three Trojan horses of domestic fashion products.

Li Shengyao came back from the beautiful country the day before yesterday, and everything went well. With an investment of 20 yuan, he received a [-]% profit share from "Chain Saw".

He also read the script prepared by Wen Ziren and Werner, which was almost perfect at this time. Li Shengyao pointed out some loopholes and areas for improvement based on the complete script in his previous life.

Wen Ziren and Werner were shocked.

"Li, you stay here, I can feel your talent, let's work together, we will succeed."

"No, I still have a lot of work in Huaxia, but if you have any questions, or want to hear my advice, we can call."

He rejected the invitation to stay in the beautiful country, and pointed out that two people could try to find Lionsgate.

This film and television company is not considered a giant in the beautiful country, but it has always been more thoughtful and often invests in some special movies.

In fact, whether it is "Chain Saw" or "Pirates of the Caribbean", they are all films approved in 03.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" was broadcast at the end of 03.

"Chain Saw" was played in 04.

There are still two or three years from now.

He wasn't sure he would change history.

He just arranged it in advance.

"Chain Saw" was the first film that had a loophole for him to invest in. At this time, Wen Ziren and Werner could hardly survive.

It doesn't matter that he has no resources or contacts in the beautiful country, and he will definitely not take him to play in the second part.

The cost of "Saw" is 120 million dollars, and the net profit is about 5000 million dollars. Lionsgate still needs to use this movie to promote its performance. All in all no problem.

He returned to Yanjing, and then arranged for two assistant directors to go to Harbin to scout the scene, prepare the studio in advance, and the photographer Liu Sheng also went.

Before leaving, Li Shengyao said seriously to Liu Sheng: "I told you long ago how important the photography of "Winter Sonata" is. There’s a beautiful yet fragile vibe to it.”

"You have to find this feeling. If you can't find this feeling before starting the machine, I will replace you."

Li Shengyao still stayed in Yanjing, he had some things to deal with, the most important thing was that he had to find a makeup artist here to satisfy him, and there were also some important supporting roles to be recruited.

The male and female protagonists of this show are stylish and good-looking. Even if you watch it 20 years later, you won't feel outdated.

Makeup artists are essential.

As for the supporting roles in this play, they are also very important.

Among them, the hero's mother needs a beautiful woman in her 50s who is still charming and has a sense of fashion.

There is also the female number two, a young, bright and beautiful woman.

There is also the male lead, the father of the male number two, who needs a man in his 50s who looks quite elegant.

To his surprise, the makeup artist and supporting roles have not been found yet, but someone has come to give money.

First, there was Harbin Beer, the most famous beer in Harbin. The leader heard that Li Shengyao was going to film a modern romantic drama in Harbin, so he rushed over immediately and expressed his intention to sponsor.

Lee Sing Yew's "Love Hotel" was a great success after it was aired, and Jin Jiang Hotel, where it was filmed, became a new tourist spot in Shanghai.

Many fans went to Jin Jiang Hotel to check in. After the TV series was broadcast, the performance of Jin Jiang Hotel doubled.

This matter has long been spread in the industry.

"Winter Sonata" has a lot of scenes of drinking, so Li Shengyao naturally agreed.

So Harbin Beer sponsored "Winter Sonata" with 30 yuan.

After Harbin Beer, people from Rejoice and Belle came over soon.

Rejoice is a shampoo, Belle is a shoe brand.

Rejoice is a foreign brand, while Belle is a Hong Kong Island brand.

Shampoo doesn't matter, any brand will do.

In the Korean version of "Winter Sonata", the hero and heroine's coats look high-end at first glance, and their shoes don't have many shots, so it's just passable. Lee Seung-yao doesn't have too many requirements in this regard.

He also agreed, and the sponsorship fee of these two brands is 30.

Before the shooting started, 90 yuan was credited.

But today, the people from the Three Trojan Horses came over.

Li Shengyao asked his assistant to pour tea and serve fruit plates, and then invited people to sit down.

The two outsiders of the Trojan Horse drank tea, and then expressed their own brand's idea of ​​sponsoring the show.

"Director Li, we can provide all the costumes of the hero and heroine for free. They are absolutely beautiful and dazzling."

Li Shengyao glanced at the middle-aged man in a suit across from him.

"Two, I can't agree to this matter."

It wasn't that he was trying to pick things up on purpose. In fact, he often wore Trojan horse clothes in his previous life. Trojan horse and Baleno were the two brands he wore the most when he was in school. He didn't think there was any shame in it.

However, the woolen coats of the hero and heroine of "Winter Sonata" must be good-looking and textured.

It is required to still be in style in the heavy snow.

This point is really beyond the reach of the Trojan horses, and in fact, neither can Korean clothing brands.

Bae Yong Joon wore Daeyoung's Burberry for filming, and Choi Ji Woo wore Italian Max Muller.

In this play, she changed 76 sets of clothes and wore down jackets twice, which lasted no more than 15 minutes. The rest were all turtleneck sweaters and woolen coats.

Both Burberry and Max Muller are luxury brands.

The price of Burberry is more than 1 pieces in the Mainland, which is equivalent to the annual salary of a white-collar worker in Yanjing.

Naturally, these two brands will not sponsor him, he doesn't have enough face now.

There are not many episodes of "Winter Sonata", but in order to achieve the best effect, he prepared three months of shooting time.

For such a long time, he has no way to rent, but to buy.

The heroine has at least five coats, and the heroine has at least ten coats, which will cost about 15 yuan.

Li Shengyao also wanted to save this money, but there was no way to save it.

"Director Li, we can increase the sponsorship fee, how about 40?"

Li Shengyao shook his head, "It's not about the sponsorship fee. I value this drama very much. I want to achieve the best results. I have already decided to buy clothes from Italian and British brands."

"Director Li, 45."

These two people should have worked in sales, before Li Shengyao could speak, he continued: "Director Li, we will invite Zhao Yang and Yan Danchen to be the spokespersons of our Trojan Horse, 30 a year, a total of three years."

"In addition, we unconditionally support your next fashion show, and the sponsorship fee is still 45."

They obviously did their homework, knowing that both Zhao Yang and Yan Danchen are artists of Lee Shengyao's company, and Lee Shengyao can also earn money if these two endorse them.

Plus unconditional support for the next fashion drama.

Sincere.

But sincerity cannot solve all problems, Li Shengyao shook his head, "No, I have already made a decision, both male and female protagonists should wear branded coats."

"Director Li, now that domestic clothing brands are on the rise, can't you support domestic products?"

"It's not that I don't support it, but that the texture I want is something you can't achieve for the time being."

Hearing this, the two nodded with wry smiles, then got up and left.

Li Shengyao arranged for a gift to be sent out.

He stood by the window and looked into the distance.

Yanjing is full of construction sites at this time, and this great city is undergoing tremendous changes.

The same is true of this ancient nation.

He is proud of his bloodline identity.

It's not that he doesn't want to use domestic products, but the quality is not up to standard, and he needs to be responsible for his own works.

It can only be said that everyone needs to work hard and improve themselves.
