China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 181
As soon as he returned to the capital, Gu Wei told Yang Mi about [Xiu Chun Knife 2] finding her as the heroine.

Of course, the sooner the better for this kind of thing, Lu Yang is still waiting for her to go to try it out.

Decide on the starring role early, so as to communicate the schedule and prepare other matters before the movie starts.

There are a lot of things to prepare for a film from preparation to filming, especially for a blockbuster such as "Xiu Chun Dao".

That's right, because of the huge sales of the first movie, now the second part of the movie has become a complete big investment.

Gu Wei's salary alone is 2000 million, and Yang Mi's current film salary is also between 500 and 800 million.

It's not surprising, the two are also popular this year, maybe Yang Mi's popularity is even higher, but in terms of film remuneration, Gu Wei is so much higher than her.

This is actually very reasonable. In today's movie market, except for a very small number of "chick movies", male actors basically take the main roles.

Investors usually also think that male actors are more attractive than female actors.

Especially in some action movies, female characters often play the role of a vase. Both the proportion of the role and the importance of the characters are far less than male characters, and naturally the pay will be much lower.

This situation will be much better in the TV drama circle.

Unlike movies, no matter what type of Chinese TV drama is filmed, it is often inseparable from dating, and the proportion of male and female characters is about the same.

Over the years, some TV dramas with major heroines have become more popular with audiences. If they can attract audiences, they will naturally be worth more money. Therefore, when filming TV dramas, actors and actresses with the same level of fame tend to be paid about the same.

If Yang Mi could receive high-quality resources like [Xiu Chun Dao 2], he would definitely not ask for a high salary, which is estimated to be 500 million.

In this way, the remuneration for the male and female leading roles alone is as much as 2500 million, and the investment for the first film is only 3000 million.

Lu Yang estimated that the shooting cost of the second film would be about 8000 million. According to the box office of the first film of 2.2 million, although the investment is more than double that of the first film, it is still very easy to recover the cost.

In the morning, after breakfast, Gu Wei tidied up his clothes, put on a peaked cap and a mask, and was about to leave Yang Mi's house.

Last night, he was invited to the dinner party. There was no other way. It was usually difficult for Gu Wei to refuse an invitation from a big sister.

To express his gratitude, Yang Mi personally cooked some special dishes for Gu Wei.

The two spent a wonderful night together. Of course, what impressed Gu Wei the most was definitely not the food cooked by Yang Mi.

"Can you come over tonight?"

Yang Mi followed Gu Wei to the door, stretched out his hand to straighten the collar on his chest, and asked softly.

Now she is more and more satisfied with Gu Wei.

He has a good figure and looks, and can help himself in his career. The only disadvantage is that he is too young and not exclusive to him.

Gu Wei thought for a while.

"These days are relatively busy, and the new drama will be launched in Shanghai in a few days. You also know that there are many things to worry about in your company's drama."

"When will we be able to cooperate in another TV series next time, just like [Gu Jian], it must still be a blockbuster?"

Gu Wei said a little funny.

"Sister Mi, you have 3 films to be co-produced next, except for [City in Love] which is the heroine of the unit, [Why Sheng Xiaomo] and [Xiu Chun Knife 2] are both big IP heroines.

Didn't you always want to make a movie, why did you think of making a TV series again? "

"Hey~ You don't know, although I really want to make a movie, but every time I finish it, I don't know what to do, and I have been scolded by the audience for bad movies too many times.

On the contrary, I am full of confidence when filming TV dramas. "

Gu Wei didn't care about Yang Mi's Versailles, and confessed again.

"Director Lu Yang, you should go early, I've already said hello, just call him and make an appointment to audition.

I leave the script to you, prepare it carefully, although I think there is no problem, but it is best to leave a good impression on the director. "

"Okay, I know"

In the company's conference room, the main management personnel are present.

There are still a few days before [Small Smiles Are Allure] will be launched, and today's meeting is also a report and summary of the recent preparations.

"Mr. Gu, so far, a total of 28 advertisers have negotiated with us to place advertisements in the drama [Wei Wei].

According to our several rounds of screening, we also communicated with director Lin Yufen and screenwriter Gu Man, and finally reached a cooperation agreement with [-] of the manufacturers without affecting the filming of the TV series.

They are A Chinese Ghost Story, RIO, OPPO, Three Squirrels, HP, Baicaowei, Yakult, Kuaike, Dongpeng Special Drink, Mofashijia, Weiquan, Vipshop, Jeep, Youlemi, and Mofan.

Among them, the biggest advertisement placement party is Netease's "A Chinese Ghost Story", which replaced "Dream Tour" in Gu Man's original novel and became the background game in the TV series.

Because the proportion of this game in the TV series is too large, we finally negotiated with NetEase that the cost of advertising placement is 3000 million. "

"so much?

Netease simply paid for it? "

Hearing this, Gu Wei interrupted. Gu Wei didn't know how much Yang Yang and Zheng Shuang's version of [Weiwei] NetEase paid for the placement of advertisements, but it certainly wasn't as much as 3000 million.

When the original version of this TV series was filmed, Yang Yang was not the top streamer later, and his reputation was not very great.

On the contrary, as the heroine, Zheng Shuang has been popular for several years, and the publicity mainly depends on the heroine.

"Because our company has successively produced two popular online dramas [Princess Concubine] and [Yu Sin], advertisers have a lot of confidence in [Weiwei].

You, the boss, are still starring in this TV series. Although the filming has not started yet, there are a lot of discussions on the Internet now.

And what Netease signed with us is a contract in the form of gambling.

After the TV series is released, the online broadcast volume is more than 30 billion, and we can get the highest advertising fee of 3000 million. If the broadcast volume is between 20 billion and 30 billion, it is 2000 million. Ten thousand. "

"Hehe, NetEase is really a chicken thief. I don't want to suffer at all. Has [Yu Zui] reached 30 billion views now?"

"Not yet, the second season is currently in theaters, and the current broadcast volume has just exceeded 20 billion. According to LeTV's prediction, there is hope to exceed 30 billion after the broadcast.

At present, the only TV series with more than 30 billion online views this year is Boss Yours [Gu Jian Qi Tan], and other TV series including [Love Apartment 4], which became popular on the Internet at the beginning of the year, have only 25 billion views. "

"What about the other advertisers?"

Gu Wei was not worried at all about whether he could get NetEase's 3000 million advertising fee. The original version of "Wei Wei" became popular on the Internet when it was broadcast exclusively on Youku, and a single episode once reached more than 10 billion views.

Now he is acting instead of Yang Yang. With his reputation far surpassing Yang Yang and his better acting skills and appearance, the performance of the TV series will only be better.

The only problem is the heroine Nazha. Although she is far better than Zheng Shuang in terms of appearance and figure, it can be said that she is closer to the image of "Bei Weiwei" in the original book.

However, his acting skills may be slightly inferior, and his popularity is even worse. During this period, Zheng Shuang had a lot of fanboys on the Internet.

However, Gu Wei has confidence in himself, and it is not a problem to bring up a Nazha with his strength.

"The advertising fees of other manufacturers range from 100 million to 500 million depending on the length of appearance.

The total advertising expenses of the 14 companies are around 4200 million. "

Before the filming of the TV series started, the income from placing advertisements was 7200 million.

[Small Smile is Allure] is a youth romance film, there are no special effects and big scenes, the only place that needs extra money is the gamification scenes in the play.

The total cost of the whole show was around 5000 million. Because it was a show solely owned by his company, Gu Wei only got a small salary, otherwise he would have taken half of the total investment by himself according to the market price.

Now that the TV series has not been launched yet, it can make money by placing advertisements.

Subsequent sales of films will make money no matter how much money they sell.

Gu Wei can now be considered to have experienced Feng Xiaogang's mood when he was making a comedy movie.

It is said that when Director Feng filmed "If You Are the One 2", 14 placements and 10 pre-roll ads earned a total of more than 5000 million yuan, which basically offset the investment, and the box office of more than 4.5 million yuan was equivalent to a net profit.

In the film and television industry, only head products that are really favored by everyone can achieve this level.
