Consumer male god

After voting for "Why Shengxiaomo" and getting the qualification, Han Lie signed a contract with Huace the next day to acquire the film and television rights to "Wei Wei".

The price was 40 million yuan, which was paid from Shiji Xinyi's company account. As expected, there was no experience.

Investing in film and television dramas as an individual is not a right path. Not to mention anything else, the 45% individual tax that an individual subject ultimately has to pay is an unbearable burden.

Han Lie didn't plan to open his company in Horgos to make money from the policy loopholes, but he wasn't so sincere that he would continue to engage in heavy asset investment as an individual.

Others will suspect that he is not sane.

After getting the copyright, it was Lao Su’s job next.

Lemon, which was just established, immediately took action and started preparing projects.

Su Xiao personally served as the producer and immediately roped in Gu Man to work on the script.

The scripts of film and television dramas must be adapted from the original text of the novel. After all, they are two completely different presentation arts.

Text is more suitable for stimulating imagination, while appropriate picture transformation is to restrain, trim and fill in details of this imagination.

This kind of transformation is actually more difficult than many people imagine. Most of the classic male videos are shot to pieces, which is a reflection of its difficulty.

For example, the often-complained Dou Qi turned into a horse, and the screenwriter felt aggrieved: If I don't turn into a horse, what would I turn into?

Really do large-scale light wing special effects?

Good guy, if you spend 80 million, you can only get a relatively average effect. Then the pollution caused by the light wings will make the long shots basically unusable, the close shots are particularly fake, and the shooting difficulty will make the director lose his hair like crazy.

And if you don't ride horses, is it realistic to ask dozens of non-professional martial arts actors to collectively perform martial arts in real scenes such as snowy mountains?

An accident can cost investors their money.

Some people may think that in the final analysis it is just the producer who is not willing to spend money.

Well, according to the standards of top American dramas, the actors are all hanging wire in front of a green screen, and the background is all made of special effects. A single episode, 30 episodes per season, a total of 3 billion, maybe it can be interesting.

The question is, how do you make back the investment?

Therefore, all domestic Xianxia dramas are love idol dramas that emphasize plot and light special effects. They are not prepared for male audiences at all.

You can blow the words however you want, pull the coffin with nine dragons, destroy the galaxy with a single palm, open your eyes and annihilate countless timelines...

When converting images, you have to follow basic methods. If you can’t shoot it, you have to change it.

As a love idol drama, "Wei Wei" is not that difficult to adapt, but the details are still very annoying.

Gu Man still had to work on "Why", so she didn't have enough time, so Lao Su found a few experienced but unknown low-level colleagues to help her and create a collective work.

The script started to move forward with stumbling.

As for the director, Su Xiao tricked Cai Yinong and brought Lin Yufen over.

Lin Yufen is the director of "Sword and Sword III" and "Step by Step". She has been cooperating with Tang Ren for a long time, but she is not a contracted director of Tang Ren.

But at the moment she was thinking about Tang Dynasty's new drama "Bu Bu Jing Qing". They were talking about it and just had to sign the contract, but Su Xiao stopped her halfway...

"Well done!"

Han Lie gave Su Xiao a thumbs up. Old Su laughed and felt quite pleased with himself.

Lin Yufen is almost the best director that the "Wei Wei" project can find. Currently, there are only two directors who often cooperate with the Shanghai film and television industry and are good at romantic idol dramas, one is her and the other is Zhu Ruibin.

But Zhu Ruibin's filming was obviously a bit greasy, and he often made mistakes with water injection, and the language of the scenes was very difficult to describe.

The difference is quite obvious.

If Su Xiao and Peng Hu hadn't come forward together and found the vice president of ATV in Xiangjiang, Director Lin really wouldn't have been able to invite him. After all, he and Tangren cooperated so happily.

This is the ability of a professional boss. If Han Lie relied on himself, he wouldn't even know who to invite, let alone the Tang Dynasty.

After finalizing the director's contract, no one else was doing much, and Wu Qilong was numb.

He was confused, and repeatedly confirmed with Cai Yinong: "What? The director our crew has appointed has been kidnapped, and the filming has to be postponed?! Damn, who did this?!"

Brother Long, I have such a bad temper...ah? ! Han Lie? !

That's okay.

Brother Long endured it, but made a special call, complaining to Han Lie in a faint and resentful voice: "Teacher Han, that is a key project for me and my teacher to reunite! You just messed up for us with your words... "

It was originally a bad drama to make money. The plot and lines were simply useless. It was just pornographic...

Muttering in his heart, Han Lie laughed: "Isn't that just right? You two should seize the time to get married, get together in bed, and stop spreading shit on the screen!"

Lao Wu was choked to silence and retreated in defeat.

Mr. Cai did not say anything. She knew that "Wei Wei" was prepared for Nazha, so she was particularly conflicted.

It would be too late if Shishi didn't hurry up and squeeze out the oil, but it was also important to promote the development of Zezha and take over as soon as possible. The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh, so she had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Three times, five times and two times, the production, directing team, script, and female protagonist are all OK. The only big problem left is the male protagonist.

Su Xiao did not make the decision on his own, but invited Han Lie, Director Lin, Zha Zha and other main creatives together for a small meeting.

When Zhazha followed Han Lie to Lemon, he was timid, like a timid rabbit.

"Don't be afraid."

Han Lie comforted her softly: "This is our home field. The project was established for you. The director and producer combined are not as big as you."

Brother Lie didn't brag.

The estimated production cost of "Wei Wei" is 60 million, including the 40 million for the script, a total investment of 100 million.

Century New Idea will obtain 80% of the overall revenue with copyright + 50 million in cash.

Lemon will fully assume production, distribution, sales and other responsibilities, and will invest 10 million in cash and receive 20% of the income.

Su Xiao received a friendly price, which was not much compared to the workload.

But Han Lie also gave Lemon a chance with a real and super high investment. Otherwise, how could a start-up company have the opportunity to handle a project of such a scale?

In terms of power in the crew, Producer Su and Director Lin are consistent in their words.

But Zhazha is the boss of Century New Idea, the investor representative, and the core of the project's existence. No one needs to be scared.

"But I'm just a newcomer..."

Zhazha is still a little weak. She is very aware of her own level and can't be tough no matter what.

Han Lie was so good at comforting people that he taught her a trick on the spot.

"Just think about it, other female stars are so awesome when they bring money to join the group, what's your current state?

Fully owned representative, the boss lady comes down to play!

In this way, you can chat with them normally later. If you don’t understand something, just act coquettishly with me on the spot: Husband, what does that mean?

I promise to cooperate well..."

"Pfft!"

Zhazha's humor has never been very good, so he was teased by Han Lie on the spot.

"How could you do this? You just want to see me embarrassed, right?"

Gou Lie smirked: "You must always remember your position below me..."

"Pooh!"

Zhazha understood, and his voice suddenly became greasy: "You are so annoying!"

Gou Lie almost knocked her down in the elevator. After having fun for a while, he was no longer nervous.

…

When the small meeting started, Gu Man looked at Han Lie and it was obvious that something was wrong.

It’s hard to use words to describe the entanglement, hesitation, half confusion and half numbness... Anyway, it is very complicated.

From now on, when I write about scumbags, I have a top reference...

But she was smarter than Mo Bao, and she quickly reacted, quietly giving a thumbs up to Brother Lie, and mouthing the highest praise: Niubi!

Why does Han Liezhao care about me?

If you spend 40 million to buy my copyright, you will be my real father!

Director Lin even opened his mouth to praise: "Wow, our Weiwei is so beautiful! With such a heroine, what kind of filter should I add?"

Zhazha immediately showed his soft and cute aura, and waved his hands in embarrassment: "No, no... Hello, Director Lin, I am Guna Zhazha."

Gu Man smiled and said: "When I wrote it, I actually based it on the school beauties of our Nanjing session, and added some artistic processing, but I didn't dare to think that there are really girls who can be so beautiful - among all the female stars I have seen, Zhazha is really one of the best, so beautiful that she shines!"

Su Xiao said: "With strong soldiers and a perfect match for the heroine, there is no reason why our project will not succeed. I see, Mr. Han, you can prepare the celebration banquet in advance!"

A circle of flattery was filmed, it was lively and the atmosphere was very good.

It is true that Han Lie is not familiar with the entertainment industry, but it is no problem for him if money can feed him.

Director Lin and her directing team are not conceited at all, they are proactive and provide suggestions.

In fact, in their opinion, using 60 million real-life filming funds to shoot a modern idol drama with some special effects can be regarded as... well, what's the serious problem in today's era?

But, it smells so good!

When discussing the male lead, the casting director cautiously expressed his position: "The filming funds are very abundant. I think, how about hiring an A-list actor to be the male lead?"

As a newcomer, Zhazha has no appeal and cannot carry the drama, so she has to be matched with a male star who can carry the ratings.

But this person is hard to find.

"Age is a big issue... How about Li Yifeng?"

"Isn't it enough to be a teenager?"

"Where's Hugo?"

"The ruffianism is enough, but the nobility doesn't mean much, right?"

"There are not many male stars who are young and popular with the audience. You can't look for Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Han, right?"

"Is there a suitable candidate for Hong Kong Island Wanwan?"

"No. The male actors around 90 are a bit out of date... Can't we use a newcomer who fits the image?"

The more Han Lie listened, the more puzzled he became, and he couldn't help but ask: "Where's Yangyang who plays Jia Baoyu?"

Su Xiao and Lin Shaofen were asked directly. The casting director Lao Chen responded quickly and quickly remembered who it was.

"Mr. Han, are you asking about Yangyang from Li Shaohong Company?"

"probably?"

Han Lie doesn't know either, he only knows that he is Wei Wei's leading actor.

Although he didn't understand why Han Lie would ask about an unknown newcomer, Lao Chen immediately picked up his phone and turned around to go out: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll ask."

He came back and reported 10 minutes later: "The schedule doesn't match up. He has accepted an online drama "Tomb Raiders" and a movie, and has been unavailable since May."

Han Lie suddenly realized the wonders of the world.

"Wei Wei" is expected to start filming in mid-May and be released early next year. The original actor will definitely not be able to catch the train.

But without Yangyang, and without the perverted Shuang Shuang who is known as a million die-hard fans... could "Wei Wei" still reach the heights of its previous life?

The more critical question is...where can I find a male protagonist who is around 90 years old now? !

The directing team looked at each other for a while, then Director Lin tentatively asked: "Mr. Han, do you have any ideas for the male protagonist?"

They are all smart people. As soon as they heard Han Lie ask about Yangyang, they knew that the boss had something in mind, and he was not just a boss who didn't know anything and didn't want to get involved.

But it was okay if she didn't ask, but it made Han Lie even more miserable when she asked.

Although Xiao Yang's acting skills are very awkward, when he starred in "Wei Wei" in his previous life, he had to have a good image, be well-known, and fit the protagonist very well, so he was almost the most suitable candidate.

Now "Wei Wei" is being filmed more than a year in advance, and I can't find someone to help with emergencies...

So, what to do now?

There are two ways, the first is to find an older A-list actor whose image doesn’t have enough filters to make it work.

The second is to give up influence directly and simply go to the three major colleges and universities to find new people.

There are two methods, the former is costly and the latter is risky, both are quite troublesome.

Han Lie tapped the table gently, pondered for a moment, and finally decided... to be tough!

"Go to the three major film and television schools to find new students!

"Wei Wei" has Mr. Gu Man's fan base and natural expectations. "Shanshan" and "He Yi" should both be released in front of us, and we can draw on our strength when the time comes.

In this way, the actor's own lack of appeal can be compensated to a certain extent, and character suitability becomes more important.

And all the saved salary costs can be spent on publicity. As long as the quality of our drama is good enough, it shouldn’t be a problem to break out of the siege..."

Han Lie's idea is actually very risky, and it is not the normal attitude of ordinary companies towards major investment projects.

But Su Xiao agreed immediately: "As long as the quality is good, I can guarantee that it will be a star on Shanghai TV in the first round of broadcast!"

Lin Yufen and Gu Man couldn't help but look sideways, surprised by Mr. Su's madness.

In fact, this confidence was brought by Han Lie.

If Su Xiao + Peng Hu still can't handle the satellite TV station, can Han Lie just ignore it?

At that time, as long as the net value of the fund increases, our Lieshen's face will definitely come in handy.

What if the fund loses money?

I don’t care how far you are, I’ll flatter you first!

After the investors and the chief producer reached an agreement, Lin Yufen naturally did not refute and nodded happily: "Okay, then I will try my best to choose the most suitable Xiao Nai!"

Gu Man hesitated for a moment, and then asked quietly: "Do you think... In fact, Mr. Han's image, temperament, age, etc. are the most perfect?"

⊙o⊙Huh? !

When the sound hit the ground, everyone in the audience was stunned.

Girl, you really dare to think!

But after the surprise, the eyes of the creative team all started to shine, staring at Han Lie with dazzling eyes.

A man with 89 points of appearance is basically equivalent to 95 points among women.

Because whether a woman is beautiful or not, the details of her skin, the proportions of her facial features, and even the corners of her eyelashes and eyes are very important.

But men are different. The whole is greater than the details, and there is no need to be too refined at all.

So there is no doubt that Han Lie is already a handsome guy, especially his eyes.

Coupled with the golden proportions created by cheating, broad shoulders, long legs and a dog-like waist, he can definitely be called a male god.

And from the perspective of role adaptation, Han Lie is truly Xiao Nai in the world - no matter how popular the so-called Master Xiao is on campus, can he compare to Niubi, the God of Fierce?

When Gu Man was imagining his words, he never dared to think that there could be such a monster in the world!

Zhazha was stunned for two seconds and suddenly said: "Honey, you come to play my boyfriend! Really, there is nothing more romantic than this! And I will definitely be able to exert 800% of my strength..." "

Stop, stop, stop!

You have to talk about some basic rules when you're bragging, right?

Brother Lie had a head as big as a bucket and glared at Gu Man fiercely.

What a bad idea!

How dare you think...

"Go to the Film and Television Academy for an audition. I have billions of dollars in funds there, so how can I have time to act?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped.

The two funds are worth 7.5 billion, which is equivalent to 75 "Wei Wei" movies. It is not of the same level at all.

Is it crazy for a good financial tycoon to become a celebrity?

Han Lie's attitude was very resolute, and no one dared to mention this matter again, but from then on, Zhazha pouted slightly and was depressed until the end of the meeting.

Love-minded little girls are fun to flirt with, but troublesome to coax.

Han Lie felt a headache. Then he went back to the hotel and took out the pet suit that had been gathering dust for a long time.

The result completely opened a wonderful door.

At the beginning she was reluctant, but at the end she was still unsatisfied.

And he is so well-behaved that he doesn't make any fuss or make trouble at all and does whatever he is told.

So Gou Lie was puzzled and aching - if I had known it was so simple, why would I go in such a big circle?

Patting the little waste that had become limp into mud, Gou Lie asked tentatively: "You are too useless. I won't play with you anymore... I'll find you a sister to be your teammate next time. How about that?"

Logically speaking, she should have exploded, but she didn't.

There was just a lazy and strange cry.

"Meow~~~"

Good guy, you have a lot of stamina, are you still on top? !

Han Lie smirked twice and took it as her promise. He felt that the day of immortality was just around the corner, and he was striding towards him with steps that he would never recognize his relatives...

I didn’t expect it to be so controversial, so I’ll put it aside for now.
