They were all so into the drama!
Chapter 618 Gold Finger, I want virtual reality technology!
After finishing his trip to co-produce a movie, Huo Mingjie finally set off back to Yanjing. As soon as he got off the plane, he was dragged directly to the company by his cheap nephew without even returning home.
After piling a pile of new project plans in front of his second uncle, Huo Chengyin chuckled and said shamelessly:
"Would you like to pick two of these?"
"Shall I shoot?"
Looking at the pile of new projects in front of him, Huo Mingjie raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but said:
"This is too much. I just came back from outside!"
If I remember correctly, I seem to be the biggest in the company. Why do I have to be squeezed now...
After hearing what his second uncle said, Huo Chengyin quickly laughed and explained:
"No, you didn't shoot it. The main reason is that the company has too much liquidity now. Isn't it just to invest in a few more TV shows and movies..."
"I know you have a good taste and you can always pick out scripts that are going to be popular!"
The movie was released in Sakura Country and Bangzi Country, and almost returned with three small goals. Then there are TV drama introduction fees, DVD copyright fees, Huo Mingjie peripheral support items and other messy things, and there is a lot of money to be made piecemeal.
Nowadays, the liquidity on the books of Green Shade Media is too abundant. I’m afraid none of my colleagues in the industry are as well-funded as Lu Yin!
Now that he has money in his hands, Huo Chengyin can't help but make some big moves. He can't let the money in his hands be regarded as dead money.
Hearing this, Huo Mingjie frowned slightly and said:
"Haven't all the company's projects been finalized this year?"
"The company's four projects per year are because the previous production capacity of the film and television production department could only undertake so many."
The TV series and movies produced by Luyin Media are all in-house teams, from the creative staff behind the scenes to the actors, crew directors and the entire shooting team.
There are only so many manpower, and we can only produce these outputs in a year.
Huo Chengyin paused, and then continued to explain:
"But our company is now bigger, and there are so many actors and artists under it, which requires more resources. We can't continue to use this model!"
"Our company previously participated in the investment and co-production of "Before Dawn", and the ratings were good after the previous results. This cooperation model can still be promoted."
The current model of Luyin Media is actually no different from that of Sugar Man. They are both equivalent to a "self-sufficient" small workshop model.
This model has the advantage of ensuring that the quality and reputation of the film and television works produced are good.
But as the company grows larger, it is no longer suitable!
After all, the entire company can only use so many resources. If some are reserved for its own actors, some must be used to exchange resources with other companies. How can it be used?
Moving on to Sugarmen who are no longer in their prime, those artists with potential are either being suppressed, or they are desperately fighting lawsuits to find a way to leave Sugarmen.
This is certainly due to the factors of Sugar Man’s senior management, but it is also an objective fact that the resources are insufficient!
Therefore, at this time, Luyin Media must learn from the "wide spread network" model of Huayi and Chengtian, and participate in the investment of film and television works everywhere, so that it can obtain more and sufficient resource allocation...
But the only problem is that if you want to ensure the healthy development of the company and its artists, you must have a good eye for drama selection!
Otherwise, like Huayi, they could easily lose tens of millions or hundreds of millions, which is unbearable.
Huo Chengyin, who had great trust in his second uncle's vision, decided to pass the burden of choosing dramas to Huo Mingjie!
When Huo Mingjie heard his explanation, he couldn't help but shake his head and said:
"Don't just count on me, the company supports so many people, you can try to leave things to them."
Although he said this, after Huo Mingjie finished speaking, he couldn't help but reach out and look through the plans for these new film and television projects.
Since there are still some vague memories that can be used for reference, Huo Mingjie does not intend to waste it. After all, it is his own money...
Seeing that his second uncle agreed, Huo Chengyin said happily:
"Actually, the company has already done some evaluations, and some of them are quite promising. I'll show them to you!"
Huo Mingjie took over several project documents that his nephew had found, flipped through them casually, and was stunned for a moment.
"Jingxin" was sent from Sugar Man, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was sent from Yanjing TV Drama Center, and "Gong Lock Heart Jade" was created by the dead girl Yu Zheng.
Hey, the people in charge of selecting dramas in my company are really good, they are all popular dramas!
It's just that there are so many dramas about the Qing Dynasty that it makes Huo Mingjie want to complain...
Huo Chengyin on the side couldn't help laughing at this time:
"I wanted to hire you to film these three dramas from the beginning. Do you have any ideas?"
That's right, forget about "Step by Step" and "The Palace", and even "The Legend of Zhen Huan" originally wanted Huo Mingjie to star.
Although Chen Jianbing’s fourth uncle always makes people complain about why a group of concubines in the harem can fight to the death for the love of Big Fat Orange...
But the original novel is not actually about Yongzheng. The male protagonist is a standard female male protagonist, and the relevant description is "young, handsome, gentle as jade"!
It was after the adaptation by Zheng Xiaolong and his wife that the background of the story was changed to Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty.
Even though Huo Mingjie's overly handsome appearance is not consistent with the historical image of Yongzheng, as long as he is willing to star, no one will have any objections.
Kang Mazi could grow up to look like Cheng Daoming, so why couldn't Yongzheng let Huo Mingjie come?
When Huo Mingjie heard this, he smiled and said:
"Investment is okay, just let me take pictures!"
Not to mention that he didn't like the style of the Qing palace drama. In terms of income alone, it didn't attract Huo Mingjie at all.
He has no shortage of fame and national popularity, and he also has his own representative works.
I don’t get much remuneration, and even considering the golden finger rewards, I feel like I don’t get any useful skills or items!
Huo Chengyin was not surprised to see that his second uncle showed no interest.
While Huo Mingjie continued to look through the remaining project books, Huo Chengyin continued to ask:
"By the way, second uncle, are you willing to accept the endorsement now?"
"There is a game here that wants you to be its spokesperson. It has even invested in a promotional TV series and wants you to be the star..."
"You are really willing to spend money. The endorsement fee is 15 million. If you are willing to star in a TV series, I will give you another 10 million!"
All the endorsements Huo Mingjie had accepted before have now expired. Because I am not too short of money, I am not too active in this aspect.
The reason why Huo Chengyin mentioned it now was because the money was really large!
Today, it is still only 10 years ago, and the endorsement fees of first-line stars are only in the range of 5 to 6 million, while the remuneration for TV series is even less.
Last year, in the mainland celebrity income rankings, the income of 25 million ranked among the top 20, which is really a lot!
However, Huo Mingjie was not short of money, so he just looked at the project book in his hand and asked casually:
"What kind of game is this, so generous?"
"What is the swordsman's love called..."
Hearing this answer, Huo Mingjie couldn't help but raise his head, then shook the plan he was holding in his hand and said:
"This "Swordsman Love: Hidden Sword Villa" is the TV series planned to be used to promote the game?"
Huo Chengyin didn't expect such a coincidence. He glanced at it to confirm, then nodded and said:
"That's it. Not only do they want you to participate in the show, they also want to cooperate with our company..."
"It's just that the professionals in the company have read the script and said that the setting is quite interesting. However, I feel that the quality of the screenwriters hired by the game company is really not good, so I am not very optimistic about it."
Well, Huo Chengyin said that the screenwriting level is not good, which is already very tactful.
In fact, this level is really disappointing!
It is set at the beginning of the script that the game is a virtual online game, and you can enter the game world through sensors.
Then at the game launch conference, it was hacked, and everyone who participated in the experience was trapped in the game world and unable to exit.
Virtual online games, coupled with the development of Sword Art Online, are still a virtual world with a Chinese martial arts background.
A TV series with this setting is still very attractive.
It's just that due to the poor quality of the screenwriter, the main line of the story is confusing, and the plot jumps back and forth. It feels like something is wrapped in a gorgeous package.
At this level, it's no wonder that the TV series produced is so popular. It's no wonder that Huo Mingjie has no impression in his memory...
In the past, Huo Mingjie probably wouldn't have thought too much about it, and would have simply thrown aside a script of this level.
But looking at the project book in his hand, Huo Mingjie showed hesitation and thought.
He is not short of money either, so he naturally doesn't hesitate because others give him more money.
The main reason is that Huo Mingjie has reached a stage where he no longer pursues fame and remuneration when filming.
In addition to using movies to increase his popularity abroad and participating in idol dramas for cultural export, Huo Mingjie can now consider how to make the most of the golden fingers rewarded by the role!
Previously, Huo Mingjie's attention was only on scripts such as martial arts and fairy tales, and he wanted to obtain the extraordinary skills and items in them.
But after acting in "Inception" and acquiring a series of new energy technologies, he also began to notice the science fiction technologies in various film and television works.
Just like in this script, virtual reality technology is mentioned!
As early as the last world, there have been people studying VR technology, but it was unable to be applied due to technological limitations.
If I could develop the virtual reality technology there, even if it would be weakened and unable to produce any rapid technological development, it would at least be a gimmick.
When the time comes to hype up "VR" and "Metaverse", a lot of money can be made by listing on Yingjiang...
The reward after the character is settled is random, which is a bit troublesome.
But over the years, Huo Mingjie has some ideas.
The richer the characters and settings, the more scenes and plots there will be, and the more skills and items the characters have, the better.
Likewise, rewards become more uncertain!
On the other hand, the thinner the character settings, the fewer scenes and plots, the few skills and items they possess, and the quality is not good either.
But also because there are fewer things in the "prize pool", the rewards you get are easier to predict!
In order to maximize the use of Goldfinger and obtain something useful to him, Huo Mingjie felt that he needed to start with the script.
Try to grasp the scale, and then you can use your golden fingers to accurately get good things that are useful to you!
The script of "Swordsman Love" in front of him is completely an opportunity for Huo Mingjie to try.
Anyway, even if it doesn't work, I won't lose anything by getting an endorsement fee!
Thinking of this, Huo Mingjie had already made up his mind and said:
"Let the game company come and talk!"
Hearing this, Huo Chengyin was a little surprised and said:
"You really like it?"
To be honest, Huo Chengyin felt that there was no benefit at all for his second uncle to shoot this drama.
If you have to choose, any of the three scripts just now is better than this one, and you shouldn't choose this terrible script anyway!
Facing Huo Chengyin's doubts, Huo Mingjie nodded and said in a deep voice:
"I am quite interested in the setting, but the script is too bad. If the game company is willing to let us modify the script, we can talk about it..."
"If not, forget it!"
First of all, the script is too bad. There is nothing eye-catching except the setting. Huo Mingjie doesn't want to ruin his reputation.
Secondly, I also want to start with the script and try to make the most of the golden finger reward...
When Huo Chengyin heard that his second uncle had this idea, he suddenly realized it, and then couldn't help saying:
"In this case, our company will have to start the fifth project this year?"
The opposite is a game company, how can they know anything about filming.
According to Huo Mingjie's meaning, it is completely taking over the leading power of filming, which is naturally the fifth project of Green Shade Media this year!
Huo Mingjie nodded without comment, and then asked:
"Can the company transfer a filming team?"
"It has to wait until the second part of "The Great Qin Empire" and "The Journey of Flower" are finished, at least until September in the second half of the year..."
"But at that time, you have to go to the other side of the ocean to shoot a movie, and your schedule will not be missed!" Huo Chengyin said with some embarrassment.
In the second half of the year, there is also a "Time Traveler" waiting for Huo Mingjie to shoot on the other side of the ocean!
Huo Mingjie thought for a moment and shook his head:
"I'm not the protagonist, so my role in the film shouldn't be too important. It's fine as long as we coordinate the schedule..."
"We have communicated clearly with the game company. If they agree, we can cooperate and the salary can be paid at the normal price. But if they don't want to, forget it!"
It's just a try anyway. If they don't want to, Huo Mingjie won't force it!
At this time, Huo Chengyin just felt that his second uncle seemed to really like the setting of the script, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, I understand, I'll contact them now!"
Not to mention that his second uncle has always had a good eye, just because he likes the setting of the script so much, just shoot it...
