Chapter 379 He still has to thank us

Su Zhe had not planned to film "Wulin Gaiden" so early.

Because it can’t be sold at a high price.

After all, this is a low-cost costume sitcom, and it didn't sell for too high a price in its previous life.

In this world, Su Zhe doesn't expect any platform to be able to see its potential in advance and purchase the copyright at a high price.

But if it was sold at a low price, he thought of the achievements and influence of "Wulin Gaiden" and felt that it would be a huge loss.

He even felt that if no one really had the discernment, he would break his principle and sign a betting contract.

In other TV dramas, he is worried that he will not adapt to the local environment and pays attention to safety, but "Wulin Gaiden" is worth his gamble!

But he didn't expect that the opportunity would come so suddenly.

Because of the successful cooperation, and seeing his creative attitude of not wanting to make money in order to ensure quality, Oil Depot was full of confidence in him, and was willing to pay for it as long as it was a martial arts drama without reading the script or planning book.

Su Zhe didn't hide it from him:

"Yes, is there a problem?" Su Zhe looked at him curiously.

"After the three dramas are aired, once I release the news about "Wulin Gaiden", they will know that they are anxious and have to beg me."

Su Zhe smiled and said nothing. He put his left hand on his chin, thinking about something.

"Business cannot be done without mercy. Mr. Su is now cooperating very well with Penguin and Chengzi, and there is no shortage of buyers."

"What I'm struggling with now is whether I want to star in "Wulin Gaiden"?"

And pay in advance!

And those who are stereotyped by comedy roles are not good at acting in the first place. For example, He and others, without Zeng Xiaoxian, would not even have a chance to be stereotyped, so they would simply find this person.

"You already have a script?" Zhang Hongwei looked at Su Zhe strangely. Why didn't he let the oil depot read the script?

But thinking of his past achievements, Zhang Hongwei had to be superstitious and convince himself:
"I believe you, genius is used to break the rules. No one has succeeded before because they are not you."

Zhang Hongwei was stunned and shouted:

Indeed, most of the sitcoms that became popular in previous lives were based on modern settings, such as "I Love My Family", "Family with Children", "Love Apartment", etc., as well as foreign "Friends" and "The Big Bang Theory".

"I can rest assured that Mr. Zhang is doing the job. We can also prepare the crew. Filming will start after the contract is signed."

Even if he doesn't appear, a single episode of 1500 million is still 12 billion!
As long as Su Zhe is not stupid, of course he wants to finalize the contract directly:

After leaving the oil depot, Zhang Hongwei was also very confident:

When the oil tanker saw it, he didn't dare to mention the script and started negotiations immediately, but he planned to see the broadcast results of "Yitian" and other dramas first.

So he simply used the usual methods used by traffickers - no script, no planning, no lineup, just my name, how much do you think it is worth?

In this world, there isn’t even a splashy costume sitcom. Zhang Hongwei’s reaction was very normal and real——

As for costume sitcoms, with the exception of "Wulin Gaiden" which was a hit, "The Dragon Gate Escort" and "Legend of the Magpie Sword" were only minor hits.

"Because it's a sitcom, I'm afraid they won't have the vision and won't believe me."

You know, "Wulin Gaiden" has a total of 81 episodes, and 2000 million for a single episode is 16.2 billion! Far exceeding the sales record of Chinese TV series.

"scene……"

Su Zhe has always been very conscientious and insists on keeping the plot straight. The maximum number of TV series is forty or fifty episodes. Therefore, while repeatedly breaking the price record for a single episode, the total price has never surpassed his peers.

Su Zhe is not in a hurry. Once the three dramas are aired, he will be able to sit on the Diaoyutai more firmly, and maybe he can raise the price.

"Don't worry, I am confident that "Wulin Gaiden" will become the most successful martial arts drama."

He has never seen a successful example, how can he believe it? He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:
"Not only does the oil depot have no vision, I'm also worried. Is it really going to be popular?"

Zhang Hongwei immediately shook his head and said:

Su Zhe couldn't help but nod, thinking of the various actors who appeared in "Wulin Gaiden" in their previous lives. Their acting skills were so strong that few of them were stereotyped.

This is a bit like contract fraud, but Su Zhe believes that when "Wulin Gaiden" is launched, the oil depot will have to sincerely thank him.

Su Zhe nodded and smiled:

Su Zhefeng said calmly:
"I don't lack the 4 million, otherwise I would have starred in "Dragon" and "The Deer and the Cauldron". I'm thinking that it's too easy for actors to be stereotyped in sitcoms."

Su Zhe understood very well, but he couldn't let them review the script - otherwise, after seeing sitcoms, rap, time travel, chicken king competition and other plots, it would be impossible to pay so much money.

He tried hard to lower his voice, as if he had something wrong that he didn't dare to let others know, and whispered the next two words:
"comedy?"

But the oil depot is not stupid. When Su Zhe proposed that "Wulin Gaiden" has a total of 81 episodes, they also hesitated——

Hey, this is called "The enemy can go, so can I."

He motioned to Zhang Hongwei and said:

Now I am suddenly talking about episode 81, which is also a long one compared with those of my colleagues in Water Memories. Are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to make money?
Bang Bang 16 billion is thrown out. Anyone who wants to evaluate the TV series in depth needs to read the script first.

"Why not?" Zhang Hongwei immediately returned to normal after no longer worrying about whether he could succeed, and calculated for him, "If you appear in 81 episodes, you will earn an extra 4 million!"

Su Zhe put down his hand, turned to look at him, and said with a smile:

Zhang Hongwei rubbed his face, took a long time to adjust his mood, and asked:
"In my memory, sitcoms are not that valuable, right? And the most popular sitcoms are all in modern settings, and they don't seem to have period costumes?"

"Mr. Su, this is a fallacy. An actor is not good enough, but sitcoms mainly rely on scripts and lines to make him famous and create a lovable character. Later, if he doesn't encounter a better script, can he still complain about being stereotyped?"

Su Zhe figured it out and smiled:
"In that case, I will star. I really like this show and want to play a role."

He didn't lie. He had watched "Wulin Gaiden" countless times in his previous life. If there was a chance to stay in this classic, why not?
There is no shortage of money now. Isn’t that the joy of being an actor?
As for the main role in "Wulin Gaiden", there is only one suitable for him - the Pearl Jade White Jade Tang, the romantic (crossed out) Thief Saint Bai Zhantang!

Zhang Hongwei couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw his enthusiastic look:

"Mr. Su is still at a high level. I was thinking about 4 million yuan, but what he was thinking about was creating a classic character! Or maybe he is a big boss and an artist?"

"I'll give you the script in a few days." Su Zhe thought for a moment and couldn't rush the shooting, otherwise it would be leaked immediately. He ordered, "Finalize the contract first, and then prepare the crew."

Zhang Hongwei nodded and reminded:

"Then we can't start filming until at least the end of the year. Long Aotian has withdrawn all his funds. The only projects he has now are Zhu Guosong's "Jianghu Grocery Store" and Sun Mei's "My Deskmate." The rest of the money can't be earning interest in the bank. Bar?"

Su Zhe joked:
"Mr. Zhang, are you urging me to go to work?"

Zhang Hongwei laughed loudly:
"There is no way, who makes Mr. Su the soul of our Long Aotian?"

Su Zhe thought about it and realized that he had almost rested. He couldn't really retire:
"Okay, but the three TV series have already filled up the schedule. If I make another TV series, won't I be beating myself up?"

Zhang Hongwei smiled and said:
"Movies are also available. Many movie fans are looking forward to it."

"The summer holidays are almost over, and there's still "Tang Detective" on the Spring Festival holiday, so there aren't any good dates in between."

The schedule has a huge impact on the movie box office, so Su Zhe has no intention of bucking the trend, as it would be too costly.

Zhang Hongwei nodded and said:
"If Mr. Su has no inspiration, I have a project here. China Film and Television has prepared a platter movie to celebrate the New Year and the National Day, and I want Mr. Su to take the lead in editing and directing one."

Platter movie?

Su Zhe is quite disgusted with this kind of movie model. If you want to watch short dramas, why not go to a certain movie?
The charm of movies is to lead the audience into a world and a story, which takes a while to achieve.

Of course, short plays also have the charm of short plays, but the fast-paced excitement is completely different from the long-term immersive experience. He didn't want to agree and evaded:
"It's only a month before the National Day. They just started filming now, can't they catch up? If I fool the audience, I won't be scolded."

Zhang Hongwei gloated:

"The filming has been completed a long time ago, and the schedule has been arranged. As a result, the main character of one of the short films collapsed, and now he is worried to death! If anyone in the industry can save the situation, the only one is you, Mr. Su."

Su Zhe filmed "Tumor King" in just one month, and his reputation as a "quick shooter" has already become famous.

Su Zhe laughed loudly:

"The collapse of a celebrity's property is the biggest risk in film and television investment. By the way, who's property collapse? Why haven't I heard of a big-name property collapse recently?"

Zhang Hongwei thought for a while and casually named two people: "They seem to be Gao Yuyu and Qiao Wenjun."

"Who?!" Su Zhe was a little confused and immediately thought that this matter was related to Yan Xiling and called her immediately.

After Yan Xiling heard his question, she answered with a smile:

"Isn't Zheng Feng arrested? I asked someone to find out that he had some videos of Gao Yuyu and Qiao Wenjun on his computer, and he was trying to find a way to expose them. I didn't expect China Film and Television to know about it so early."

As a state-owned enterprise, China Film and Television certainly has better information. They knew it in advance before the media exposed it.

Just like a certain Yifeng was canceled from the show before he was exposed, the ban came earlier than the exposure.

But it doesn’t matter if one program is canceled at the party. How can the platter of movies be released without a short film?

No wonder they were anxious.

But what Su Zhe is more curious about is:

"What kind of video is on the computer?"

"I'm embarrassed to say it, it's really explosive anyway." Yan Xiling was mysterious.

Su Zhe was speechless:

"I've already imagined how explosive it would be. No wonder Zheng Feng favors Gao Yuyu. This guy really can't bear it."

Yan Xiling laughed for a long time before saying:
"I guess what you're imagining, but the video might be more explosive than you think."

Su Zhe:? ? ?
Oh my god, I don’t dare to think about it!
Yan Xiling is in high spirits:
"In short, the dirty water they poured on Wu Peipei will be cleaned up quickly, and they can also take the opportunity to market and win the sympathy of netizens."

Su Zhe nodded, in a good mood, and looked at Zhang Hongwei:

"Haha, then I really saved the day."

Otherwise, even though he did nothing wrong, he still offended China Film and Television. After all, it is a semi-official organization. It cannot accomplish anything, but it is easy to do bad things. It is better to give favors if you offend.

Zhang Hongwei added:

"The rescue is not in vain! China Film and Television is willing to transfer 20% of Zheng Feng's investment to Long Aotian."

"Okay." Su Zhe just agreed happily when he heard Yan Xiling stopping him on the phone.

Yan Xiling is very determined:

"Investment is investment, and remuneration is remuneration. Even if China Film Group has to pay, don't think about it for nothing!"

Su Zhe approved her, so Yan Xiling discussed with Zhang Hongwei and China Film and Television many times and finally finalized the contract.

Long Aotian was responsible for setting up the crew to shoot a short film of about half an hour, starring Su Zhe, which accounted for 40% of the total investment.

As the screenwriter and star of the short film, Su Zhe received a salary of 1 million, which was paid by Long Aotian.

Su Zhe was a little confused about this condition:
"Isn't this how I'm giving myself money? What's the need to change my left hand to my right hand?"

Yan Xiling explains:
"This 1 million remuneration is included in Long Aotian's cost, which increases the amount of investment. Otherwise, how could it be possible to give Long Aotian 40%? It is almost half and half with China Film and Television. And there is another advantage..."

She paused, took out her phone, and found the hot search——

#华影 prepares for "China and Me", and invites Su Zhe for a salary of 1 million#
Su Zhe looked at the comments below:
[Awesome, China Film and Television believes that Su Zhe is worth 100 million yuan in salary. He is truly the most valuable star in the country! 】

[Before, Su Zhe paid himself a salary of 100 million yuan, and he felt a bit like talking to himself. Unexpectedly, even Huaying has admitted it now. 】

【What do you know? The industry has long recognized this salary. Many companies are willing to hire him for 100 million, but when he sees that the script is not good, he will not go at all. Su Zhe is not short of money. 】

[Awesome, he won’t spend 100 million. Should I say he is too principled or too rich? 】

[Have you forgotten that he was only paid 1 million for a movie before? This time it is a short film, which is only 1/5 of a movie! Equivalent to 5 million film remuneration! 】

[This is the appearance of China’s number one superstar. 】

Su Zhe suddenly realized:

"Sister Yan, you are so good at taking advantage of situations."

Yan Xiling laughed:
"Anyway, everyone knows that you are rich, and you don't care if you hype up your salary and cause hatred against the rich. Just use this exaggerated salary to confirm your status as China's number one superstar!"

Su Zhe smiled and said:

"Is he the number one superstar in China? Isn't he a little too fast?"

He became famous less than three years ago.

Yan Xiling shook her head:
"Superstars don't rely on long working hours. Any star who can touch the throne must be extremely dazzling for a period of time and block out the light of everyone else."

Su Zhe nodded and shook his head:

"My achievements in the music industry are sufficient, but this is not the era when music superstars dominate the entertainment industry. In film and television, although I have good results, I have not yet reached the first place. I am afraid that many people will not accept my claim to be the number one superstar, right?"

Yan Xiling hesitated:
"There is no need to care about the noise, as long as the momentum is enough..."

Su Zhe interrupted her with a smile:
"You won't be able to secure your throne by relying on fans' hard support, and you can't say number one by yourself. Don't be anxious, don't hype it up yet, wait until the end of this year."

Yan Xiling looked at him.

Su Zhe smiled confidently:

The movie "Tang Detective", the TV series "Wulin Gaiden"!
The future is in his hands.

After Yan Xiling left, Su Zhe began to retreat and concentrate on writing scripts for "Wulin Gaiden" and short films.

The former still has time, but the latter is in a hurry.

Su Zhe went through the more famous film compilations from his previous life in his mind - Motherland, Hometown, and Fathers, more than a dozen short films in total.

There are no particularly excellent short films here, but there are probably a few that are pretty good: "Hello BJ" (Ge Y), "The Last Lesson" (Fan W), "Ma Liang" (Shen T), " "Poetry" (Zhang Ziy), etc.

Among them, only the protagonist in "Ma Liang" is suitable for Su Zhe to play.

"I don't have a choice."

Su Zhe scratched his head, wrote out the script for this short film, and thought about it for a moment:
"It's quite funny, that's it!"

As a comedy short film, it is enough to make the audience laugh over and over again.

It can also add the content of rural construction to the topic, which can be regarded as an excellent proposition composition.

Of course, if compared with a salary of 100 million, it seems a bit watery...

But it doesn't matter. It's normal to pay a premium for saving the scene. That's all, Huaying has to thank him!
