China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 260 Entertainment is a Circle

Huairou.

After filming the noon scene, Lu Yuan changed his clothes and took Zeng Li to a teahouse.

Arriving at the box, a chubby man with short hair stood up with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lu, hello."

"Hello, Producer Zeng."

"Hello."

After some pleasantries, both parties formally took their seats.

"Teacher Huang, have you brought the script?"

"Bring it."

While talking, Huang Ke took out two scripts from his handbag and pushed them in front of Lu Yuan and the others.

When I looked down, I saw a line written on the cover of the script.

"Before Dawn" - espionage.

"Teacher Huang, wait a moment, I'll take a look first."

"Please."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan and Zeng Li began to read the script. This drama was recommended by Cai Yinong.

Tang Ren is not good at making spy dramas, so she pushed her script to Star Media.

As for how Tang Ren received the script, it was because the screenwriter Huang Ke was Huang Sanshi's cousin.

Huang Sanshi wrote, directed and starred in "Times Past", and Huang Ke is one of the screenwriters.

Cai Yinong and Huang Sanshi have known each other for a long time. Sun Li, the former first sister of Tang Dynasty, initially signed with Tang Dynasty because of Huang Sanshi's relationship.

Hai Qing, the female lead in the original version of "Before Dawn", was also a student of Huang Sanshi. Then, Haiqing's agent Zhou Yanxi was also the agent of Wu Xiubo and Lin Yongjian.

Zhou Yanxi also came from the Haiyan Department. Later, she founded Xitian Culture and successively signed Zhang Tianai, Li Guangjie, Wang Xiaochen, Zhang Xinyi, Song Zuer and others.

So, entertainment is a circle.

People who work hard in this industry are like a large group of people, and their relationships are intricately linked.

For example, why Xinli Media, the producer of "Celebrating More Than Years", chose Zhang Ruoyun as the male lead is because his father, Zhang Jian, has a good relationship with many big names in the Beijing circle.

Zhang Jian's ex-wife Liu Bei and Chen Daomin are good friends. The proprietress of Xinli Media often goes to the Mengzhou Club he founded, and they have known each other for a long time.

"Snow Leopard" and "Black Fox" are the anti-Japanese trilogy shot by Mengzhou Culture. The other "Love Song" and "Snow Leopard's Strong Years" were directed by his father.

"Teacher Huang, are you interested in joining Star Media?"

After quickly reading the plot summary, Lu Yuan closed the script.

Huang Ke pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Lu, thank you for the invitation, but signing the contract is a big deal and I need to think about it."

"it is good."

Lu Yuan nodded. The invitation was just a casual mention. Whether to sign or not is a personal choice. Besides, Xingchen Media is not short of screenwriters.

Today, Star Media has a team of more than 30 screenwriters.

Within Star Media, the screenwriting model is more professional, and the original idea may be the idea of ​​a certain screenwriter.

But the final product is the result of collective efforts.

After all, one person can measure the shortcomings and two can measure the strengths. With multiple people involved, it is easier to control the quality of the script itself.

of course.

All participating writers have authorship rights.

Not only that, in addition to the fixed salary and script royalties, Star Media's screenwriters also have the right to receive dividends from scripts.

Although the dividend ratio is not high, only 1-3 points of net income, it is available for both new screenwriters and screenwriters who have already worked on hit dramas.

Don't treat them differently.

A capable screenwriter will only get higher dividend points.

In fact, the ratio of 1-3 points may not seem high, but the actual money obtained is not a small amount of money.

Taking "Xingyi" as an example, chief screenwriter He Ran and deputy screenwriters Liu Chen and Zhou Haixing received a total of 100 million in dividends.

Among them, He Ran received 60 yuan, and Liu Chen and Zhou Haixing, as associate screenwriters, each received 20 yuan.

"There's nothing wrong with the book, but I think it's not finished yet." "There's still a little finishing left." Huang Ke said sheepishly, "In another month, I should be able to finish it."

"OK."

Lu Yuan didn't mind waiting for a while. Anyway, the director of this drama didn't have any schedule for the time being.

He plans to let "Snow Leopard" director Chen Haowei and "Before Dawn" original director Liu Jiang co-direct the drama.

Chen Haowei currently has enough schedule, but Liu Jiang needs to wait for several months.

Because he is currently filming "The Beautiful Era of Daughters-in-law".

Xingchen Media got to know him through the "Xingchen Media Young Director Support Program".

In 08, the first supported film of the "Opportunities for Young Directors" launched by China Film Group was "Starting Today" shot by Liu Jiang.

However, this comedy starring Fan Wei and Liu Ye did not make any splash.

At the end of last year, Liu Jiang submitted a script for a small-budget comedy to Xingchen Media, which invested 500 million.

Well.

The movie was released in May and grossed over 100 million at the box office. Star Media made a small loss of [-] million.

Of course, you have to make back this loss.

The drama "Before Dawn" is of good quality, and the money it makes back is plenty.

However, since it is invested by Star Media, the actors will definitely not copy the original cast.

There was no suitable candidate for the starring role [Liu Xinjie], a contracted actor under Star Media, so Boss Lu immediately thought of someone.

The actor who plays Director Qi is Xu Guanjun.

When he was young, he was also a young star. He has grown handsome from childhood to adulthood, and his charm has not diminished since he reached middle age.

In terms of acting skills, Director Qi is better than Bobo.

The Director of the Eighth Bureau [Tan Zhongshu], the sailor [Duan Haiping], and Lu Yuan are planning to use the original team, although they have nothing to do with Star Media.

But if you work more with these veteran actors, you won't suffer.

Like Xu Guanjun, he is an actor at the China Children's Art Theater. It is impossible for him to break out of the system just because of a play.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether you sign or not, the quality of the series is more important.

As for the role of the heroine [Gu Yejia], if Zeng Li is willing to play it, let her play it. If she doesn't want to, she can find someone else to play it.

She is a producer, so she can choose whoever she wants to act.

After discussing the cooperation, Lu Yuan and Huang Ke chatted for a while and left the teahouse around one o'clock.

"How about it."

On the way back, he chatted with Zeng Li about the show.

"It's your first time as a producer of a TV series. Are you nervous?"

"not bad."

Zeng Li smiled and said: "Our company's dramas don't have only one producer. I just follow and learn, so there is no pressure."

"Too."

Lu Yuandao: "This book is good. Do you want to play Gu Yejia?"

"The heroine?"

Zeng Li thought for a while, shook her head and said: "Forget it, being a producer is enough for me to learn. If I play the heroine again, I'm afraid of getting involved."

As she spoke, she paused.

"When will this drama be filmed?"

Lu Yuan recalled the team's schedule: "It's estimated to be October or November."

Hearing this, Zeng Li immediately gave up his plan to invite Hu Jing.

November is Hu Jing's due date. After giving birth, she will still have to undergo confinement. If the filming takes place next year, it would be appropriate to hire her.

It's the end of the year, it's too early.

The main reason why she thought of Hu Jing was because Hu Jing told her that she would not give up her acting career after marriage.

If I encounter a suitable book, I will still take it.
