China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 306 Rising wages raise all boats

In the end, Lu Yuan just sighed.

What a pity for Hu Ge and Damimi.

However, we are all adults. Judging from the state shown by Damimi, even if the two break up, they should break up peacefully.

It won't be as ugly as the original timeline, and it will look like they will never interact with each other until death.

After a while, Damimi left the office in a hurry.

In fact, she figured it out earlier.

Man, it’s just a pendant.

Instead of having a love affair that is laborious and may not lead to successful results, it is better to concentrate on your career.

You are right to join Star Media.

Next year, she will have two dramas in total, one is the TV series "The Good Doctor" with Lu Yuan, and the other is the just-acquired "Now You See Me".

"The Good Doctor" will probably start filming in mid-to-late January.

In the past six months, apart from fine-tuning, she spent the rest of the time preparing for the show.

The style of Xingchen Media is completely different from that of Rong Xinda.

Rolling?

Don't even think about it.

Not only were they unable to participate in the show, the leading cast of "The Good Doctor" also had to go to the hospital for half a month for further training.

It is mandatory to experience life, observe the profession of a doctor, and design some small actions according to the character.

In addition, there are a lot of medical professional rankings in the script of "The Good Doctor", and even if they are convoluted, they have to be memorized.

Because the studio will record the sound live.

Although Damimi is a child star and has filmed many movies, she really doesn't have many cast members like "The Good Doctor".

Even the crew of "Red Mansions" didn't have such strict rules.

However, Damimi has no complaints about the new owner's style.

In an impetuous circle, it is rare to have such a breath of fresh air.

It’s no wonder that many of the film and television works produced by the company are high-quality. If other companies can be like Star Media, the chances of producing hit dramas will not be too low.

Those producers are not incapable or have no money, but they are used to making quick money.

If you can make one million by putting in three points of effort, why should you put in ten thousand efforts to make two million?
  If you have the time, wouldn't it be better to divide it into three parts and earn three million?

After Damimi left the office, Lu Yuan continued to immerse himself in work. The production department submitted a bunch of project execution orders for TV series and movies, all of which required his final decision.

Next year will be the year that Star Media breaks out.

The copyrights of several of Gu Man's published novels have all been acquired by Xingchen Media, and Xingchen Media has also signed a preemptive purchase agreement with her.

"Shanshan Comes to Eat" (Shanshan Comes to Eat) and "Why Shengxiaomo", which have been released now, have been included in the production list.

The male protagonist of "Shan Shan Comes to Eat" is Lin Gengxin, and the female protagonist is Miss Zhao. The remaining second and third episodes are either given to her own family.

Either used for resource exchange.

The male lead of "Why Shengxiao Silent" is Qiao Zhenyu, and the female lead has not yet been decided. In fact, he really wants Yaya to play the role.

But when I think about this future development.

Lu Yuan gave up this idea.

When gods fight, don't get involved.

In addition to the modern dramas adapted from the two novels, Xingchen Media also invested in the urban drama "Yanjing Love Story" that Xinli is preparing to film.

This drama was created by the protagonist group of "Soldier Assault". They didn't know how to get the relationship, and finally found Cao Huayi.

Although Chen Sicheng's request was a bit excessive and he wanted to direct and act himself, Cao Huayi still voted for this drama because of the original cast of "Soldier Assault". Anyway, the cost is not high, 30 per episode, and the investment for the whole series is about 600 million, of which Xinli only needs to invest about [-] million.

The rest of the money comes from advertising.

With the current popularity of the film and television industry, investing 600 million in the protagonist group of "Soldier Assault" should not have any problem getting the money back or even making a small profit.

If the ratings fall off the charts, Xinli will not lose. It has already made money, but the real losers are the main characters Chen Sicheng, Li Heiniu, and Zhang Yi.

When Cao Huayi and Lu Yuan talked about this drama, they also lamented that Chen Sicheng was very skillful.

With an investment of [-] million, while ensuring quality, it can also bring in the starring roles of Li Heiniu and Zhang Yi. Obviously, these two will definitely have to reduce their salary.

Otherwise, the little money invested will not be enough at all.

The time is coming to 2010. Compared with last year, actors' salaries have increased sharply.

Li Lian, the heroine of "Snail House", was paid a package price of 5000 per episode when she starred in "Snail House". Now there is no 6 per episode, and people don't even read the book.

When Hai Qing was filming "Double Sided Tape", his salary was RMB 4. After filming "Dwelling", his salary tripled to RMB 12 per episode.

The salary of the newly minted girl Yan Ni (the heroine of "Three Guns") has also doubled or tripled, with an external quotation of 15 per episode.

When Lu Yuan was filming "Sword and Sword 3", his salary was only 12 per episode.

At that time, 12 yuan was a salary that only top-tier celebrities could get, but now, the salary of first-tier stars has risen to 20 to 30 yuan.
  For the TV series version of "Mobile Phone" that has been completed, Chen Daomin's salary alone is 790 million, with an average of 22 per episode.

Xie Biwang took over the filming of "Sword Fairy Love: Hidden Sword Villa", and the single episode salary was as high as [-] yuan per episode.

That is to say, Kingsoft Games has a lot of money. If it were another producer, I am afraid that it would not be able to afford such a high price.

Strictly speaking, Xie Biwang's salary is higher than that of Lu Yuan. The leading actor he starred in in "The Good Doctor" didn't even have [-] yuan.

"The Good Doctor" has a total of 500 episodes. The male protagonist is paid 25 million, with an average of [-] per episode.

of course.

If the quotation is external, let alone 25 per episode, even if the producer offers 100 million per episode, Lu Yuan will not take the role.

The skyrocketing remuneration has also made Star Media miserable.

Although the protagonists of "Shanshan Is Here", "Why Shengxiao is Silent" and "The Good Doctor" are all family members, the remuneration will be appropriately lower.

But no matter how low it is, it can't break bones.

Damimi’s external quotation is 15/episode, and filming of The Good Doctor is 10/episode.

Others like Qiao Zhenyu, Lin Gengxin, and Tan Songyun also have to pay 8-10 per episode.

Fortunately, according to the contract, I can recover part of my salary.

But it definitely won’t work if you press it like this all the time.

It's okay to say one, two, or three. After all, Star Media has made them famous. However, if this continues, sooner or later someone will change jobs.

People change their minds.

And this is also the reason why Lu Yuan prefers to use newcomers.

Cheap.

The buffer period is long enough.

He would rather go to Da Mi Mi than find Li Binbin, Zhang Ziyi and other big flowers who have better business capabilities.

The input and output ratio is not cost-effective.

In addition to TV series, Star Media will also invest in three movies next year, one of which is the large-scale production "Now You See Me".

The other two are small and medium-budget movies, "Love Is Not Blind" and "Youth".

Huh?
  Suddenly, Lu Yuan saw a surprising movie project.

"The Girl We Chased Together All Those Years"?
  Isn’t this a novel written by Wanwan?
  Not filmed yet?
