China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 214 Invitation to the Tang Dynasty

1 month 31 number.

The sixth day of the new year.

After the MV shooting was over, the group of people flew back to China, but their destinations were different.

There are people from all over the world. As compensation for overtime work during the Spring Festival, Lu Yuan gave everyone a month and a half long vacation.

This time, Lu Yuan did not fly directly to Yanjing, but flew back to the Magic City.

During the Chinese New Year, I always have to go home for a few days.

The eldest aunt called him several times in a row.

Lu Yuan planned to stay in Shanghai for a few more days. He planned to stay here before flying to America.

Staying in the Magic City is not a complete rest. During the day, he has to go to Sugar Man Studio to make up for the post-dubbing of "Sword and Sword 3".

As for reshooting his personal scenes, he can only wait until after he attends the Grammy Awards.

Sugar Man Studio.

"Sister Cai, happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Xiaoyuan."

Although the post-production work of "Sword and Sword 3" has been delayed a lot because of Lu Yuan, Cai Yinong is not dissatisfied.

Star Media will be responsible for making up for this part of the postponement, and this part of the funds will not be included in the investment limit.

In addition, the addition of Lu Yuan also caused the value of "Sword and Sword 3" to soar.

Satellite TV channels such as Blue Channel, Tomato Channel, and Jiangsu Province did not even participate in the previews. Various quotations have been sent over.

The highest bidders were Tomato Channel and Suzhou Satellite TV. The two TV stations made a joint bid through a joint premiere, with a single episode price of 150 million.

150 million per episode * 37 episodes = 5550 million.

If this quotation is followed, the first round of broadcasting will not only recover the cost, but also earn back 2000 million.

Although the subsequent second and third rounds of bidding are not as high as the first round, there should be no problem in recovering tens of millions of dollars for various carousels, DVD rights, etc.

The return on investment of a TV series is 100%.

With such a performance, what else is Cai Yinong dissatisfied with?
The two chatted for a while, and Lu Yuan suddenly asked.

"Sister Cai, do Lao Hu and Shi Shi still have schedules in the second half of the year?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Yinong was stunned for a moment, then nodded expectantly.

"Yes, Shi Shi and Hu Ge are still available for the second half of the year."

In fact, Hu Ge and Liu Shishi have work arrangements for the second half of the year, but judging from Lu Yuan's tone, he should be looking for them to audition.

Compared with that bit of work, the invitation from Star Media is definitely more important.

There is always time to squeeze in.

of course.

If Lu Yuan is asking about the schedule in the first half of the year, then he probably doesn't have time, because Hu Ge will be filming the TV series "Myth" in the first half of the year.

This drama is a CCTV drama and cannot be rescheduled.

And Liu Shishi has already joined the filming of "White Snake", and the schedule cannot be adjusted.

"That's just right. Star Media is going to invest in a martial arts movie in the second half of the year. Please ask Sister Cai to adjust the schedule. Lao Hu will stay for at least two or three months. For Shi Shi, one month will be enough."

"In a few days, I will ask the company to send you the script."

"well."

When he heard that it was a movie, Cai Yinong couldn't help but beam with joy. Although Lu Yuan didn't say what the specific role was, but it was scheduled for two to three months, at least it was the core role of the movie.

Shi Shi's one-month schedule will definitely not be a supplementary job.

"Xiaoyuan, thank you, thank you for thinking of Hu Ge and Shi Shi."

"Sister Cai, you're welcome. The main reason is that the role is suitable."

Lu Yuan chuckled. The main reason why he went to Hu Ge and Liu Shishi was to compensate. After all, he did owe something to the movie "Sword and Sword 3".

As for the movie he is talking about, it is not a pie in the sky.

The script was provided by Lu Yang. The title of the play is "Xiu Chun Dao". In the second half of last year, Lu Yang began to prepare the script. Not long ago, the script was completed.Lu Yuan is planning to let Lu Yang direct this drama.

After the experience of several dramas such as "Star You", "Sword and Sword 3", and "Cohabitation in Time and Space", Lu Yang's directing skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

It's time to straighten things up.

However, to ensure nothing goes wrong, Star Media plans to invite Xu Ke to serve as the film's producer.

The specific schedule is still being negotiated.

Xu Ke is going to film "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire" this year, so he may not have time.

"Tongtian Empire" is Huayi's main investment and is expected to cost hundreds of millions. It stars Liu Dehua, Liu Jialing, Li Binbin, Deng Chao and Liang Jiahui.

Properly big production.

Huayi also invited Xingchen Media to invest together. Boss Lu symbolically invested 800 million yuan, accounting for 8% of the share.

The main reason for investing so little is because I have the impression that Tongtian Empire doesn't make much money and is barely managing to maintain capital.

Finally, with the identity of an investor, the schedule adjustment period will be smoother.

After all, a producer is different from a director and does not need to follow the team throughout the whole process.

Old Monster Xu still has a few skills in making martial arts films. Lu Yang would learn from him, which would make it easier for him to steal his lessons.

This 800 million should be regarded as Lu Yang's tuition.

With Boss Lu's instructions, Xingchen Media moved quickly. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, as soon as the company started work, the script was sent to Cai Yinong.

"Xiuchun Knife?"

Cai Yinong was a little confused when he saw the name of the script.

Then reading down, she finally understood the plot.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, and the eunuch party headed by the eunuch Wei Zhongxian was liquidated by the new emperor.

The three brothers Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing, and Jin Yichuan in the Jinyi Guard are decent people.

The eldest brother Lu Jianxing wanted to be promoted to Baihu, the second child Shen Lian wanted to redeem Zhou Miaotong, a prostitute from Jiaofangsi, and the third child Jin Yichuan wanted to get rid of his senior brother's entanglement. The three took over the task of hunting down Wei Zhongxian.

After a bloody storm, the three completed their mission, and Lu Jianxing got his wish and was promoted to Baihu.

Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan are about to fulfill their long-cherished wish. However, Shen Lian hides a secret.

Wei Zhongxian is not dead.

After that, the three little people were suspected by the cabinet ministers and fell into a long strangulation.

They underestimated the ferocity and cunning of the imperialists and eunuchs.

After reading the plot summary, Cai Yinong glanced at the staff performance list.

Shen Lian - Lu Yuan

Lu Jianxing——Wang Qianyuan
Jin Yichuan - Hu Ge

Zhou Miaotong——Liu Shishi
Wei Zhongxian——Li Jianyi (Eunuch Cao)

East Factory Governor Zhao Jingzhong——Chen Kun/Wang Jinsong

Cabinet Minister Han Kuang-Zhang Zhijian
……

According to the order in the script, Hu Ge is the third male lead and Shi Shi is the first female lead?

After a while, after reading the script from beginning to end, Cai Yinong showed a satisfied smile.

Although Hu Ge's role is only the third male, he has a lot of roles.

On the contrary, the female lead is Shi Shi, but she doesn't have many scenes.

However, this is normal. After reading the book, Cai Yinong still didn't understand that "Xiu Chun Knife" is another typical men's drama.

This is also a common problem in the film industry. Except for romantic dramas, all major costume productions focus on men.

Most of the female characters are embellishments.

Therefore, the level of competition among female stars in the film industry is much higher than that of male stars. If they encounter a movie with a major female protagonist, they will not hesitate to break their heads for the role.

Gratitudes like the one between Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Manyu are not unusual at all in the entertainment industry.
