Let you invest, you support half of the entertainment industry?

Especially Liu Tao.

In the previous life, "Langya Bang" and "Ode to Joy" succeeded in becoming popular thanks to the two dramas of Noon Sunshine.

In this life, she will not join Jiaxing's words.

Naturally, it was impossible for Xu Jia to release the position of the heroine.

And Wang Kai, who originally played Prince Jing, is also quite optimistic.

But with Hu Ge in Jiaxing, there is no need for the same type of actors.

On the contrary, Liu Yijun and Wang Song are old actors, but they are valued by Xu Jia.

Whether you sign or not, leave a contact information.

When it is always useful in the future, whoever makes the salary of Xiao Xianrou skyrocketed, the cost-effectiveness of these old actors will be highlighted.

Hou Hongliang circled or crossed each actor's name after the audition.

"How is it going?"

"It's okay. Liu Tao will play Concubine Jing, Liu Mintao will play the eldest princess, and Wang Kai will play Meng Zhi. That Huang Weide is quite serious. King Yu can give him a try."

Xu Jia nodded. This is similar to the crew of "Langya Bang" in the previous life. It can be seen that even if there is a butterfly effect on aesthetics, it is difficult to change.

As for Huang Weide, this actor is the one Xu Jia remembers most in the audition.

He directly carried the fifty-page biography to the scene.

After all, there is an original script for this play, so it is normal for the actors to prepare in advance, and some well-connected ones got the script before they came. But for being able to prepare so well for a supporting role, it was a bit of Liang Jiahui's attitude when he played Zhou Chaosheng back then, which moved everyone present.

Except for Jin Dong who was inserted in Noon Sunshine, the rest of the characters were auditioned.

Xu Jia really wanted to take Jin Dong into his pocket.

Uncle-type actors will become popular in the future.

It's a pity that he is the lifeblood of the midday sun, so he dismissed the idea.

"Hey, by the way, do you want to play a cameo role?" Hou Hongliang said.

It has become a tradition for Shanying to make cameo appearances by the director team, and this drama is even more amazing, with nine directors all set to play cameo roles.

Kong Sheng planned to play a cameo role as one of the ministers in the scene of offering sacrifices to the Empress Dowager.

The three executive directors were named Xia Jiang, the head of the Xuanjing Division, Ouyang Chi, the general of the Patrol Battalion, Zhen Ping, Mei Changsu's subordinate, and four assistant directors.

These are all characters with names.

As soon as Xu Jia heard that he was interested, he thought about it in the role list.

"Yan Yujin."

"Huh? Why?"

Hou Hongliang was quite surprised by this answer.

He originally thought that Xu Jia would choose a character who could be handsome or pretend to be aggressive.

"This role can be regarded as a pistachio to ease the atmosphere in the play. I like this kind of relaxed plot, and the plot is not heavy." Xu Jia explained.

It is impossible for him to spend his mind on the characters, and the laughing and joking characters are more suitable for him.

Moreover, Yan Yujin's scenes are concentrated in the early stage, and there are not many scenes in the later stage, so there is no delay.

"Director Kong, I'll have to show mercy when the time comes." Xu Jia laughed.

"It's easy to talk about."

Everyone laughed kindly.

In the eyes of others, the role that cannot be desired is so lightly settled.

Actors, after all, are mostly at the bottom of the food chain.

The main role is set, followed by large and small supporting roles, as well as the arrangement of shooting time and location.

Xu Jia will not participate in the discussion of these matters.

He left "Langya Bang" on the front foot, and went to the preparation team of "A Thousand Bone Flowers" on the back foot.

Compared to the orderly midday sun.

The preparatory team for "A Thousand Bone Flowers" seemed disorganized.

With a messy chicken coop on his head, Wen Muye had a bitter expression on his face: "It was only when I came that I realized that this place is not just about starting over, leaving the original team, it's almost like just establishing a project."

"Mr. Xu, I'm worried that with my ability, I'll mess up this project again."

Xu Jia frowned, instead of scolding Wen Muye, he looked around for a week: "Where is the producer sent by Ciwen Media?"

"That guy didn't come today, and I don't know what happened." Wen Muye said.

wipe.

Project preparation, producer absent.

What the hell is Ciwen Media planning to do?

Xu Jia immediately called Ma Zhongjun: "President Ma, do you still want to do this project? If there is no suitable candidate, we can choose a producer."

Xu Jia naturally couldn't bear to let his own people be sent here and be left here.

"Mr. Xu, it's not that we don't do it, it's that the policy has changed. A drama with four stars has become two stars. With the investment cost of "A Thousand Bone", it's hard for us to make money back. If we don't make it now, we will lose tens of millions at most. , if it is filmed, it will be unstoppable for hundreds of millions."

Ma Zhongjun is also very helpless, this project is not done, thanks to Ciwen Media.

But there is no way, the four stars in one drama changed to two stars, and the previous profit plan was basically overturned.

Xu Jia frowned even tighter. The so-called four-star TV series means that a TV series can be broadcast on four satellite TVs.

After becoming two stars, it can only be broadcast in two at most.

It is equivalent to selling four plays in one play, but only two can be sold, and the cost cannot be shared, so naturally it has increased a lot.

Satellite TV will also consider whether to spend so much money to buy big productions.

I can't blame the skyrocketing salary of actors who became famous later.

There are fewer dramas that TV stations can buy, and the cost of purchasing movies is high. Of course, it is important to choose good ones, and that can only be seen from the lineup. This is the first line, and that topic is hot, and it must be more secure than a pure rookie lineup.

Everyone thinks so, and actors with their own traffic naturally attract competition.

But I never thought that when the proportion of actors' remuneration is too high, the production cost will be squeezed. How can there be quality in this way?

It forced the old drama lineup to come out.

Even so, the TV drama market has languished since then.

"If you don't want to do this project, or if you can't proceed, you can sell it to me, and I will do it." Xu Jia said solemnly.

"Uh... It's not that I don't want to, it's because there are big internal differences, why don't you give me a little more time?" Ma Zhongjun said hesitantly, he didn't want to give up this project, especially since Xu Jia valued it so much.

However, the company is not doing well, and it is difficult to see the prospect if it continues to invest in this project.

If you sell it to Xu Jia now, not only can you recover the cost, but you can also make a small profit.

"The price is 20 million yuan. The copyright and project belong to me. If you agree, you agree. If you don't agree, I will take people away immediately. I don't have time to waste here." Xu Jia said firmly.

He would rather give up this project than let Wen Muye and others waste time here.

In the stage of rapid development and change in the entertainment industry, wasting time is tantamount to wasting life.

"Okay, it's only 20 million yuan, but let me remind you, if you add this cost, it will be very difficult for you not to lose money in the later stage."

"I have money, love to do charity, generate electricity for love, and I can afford it."

Hearing Xu Jia's answer, Ma Zhongjun couldn't help smacking his lips.

There was a time when he was so rich, but unfortunately, the cost of the entertainment industry has risen too fast this year, and he simply cannot afford to bet on it.

He even had the idea of ​​cashing out and leaving the market.
