The road to the pinnacle of the entertainment industry

"Brother Liang, read the script first."

"The character you want to play is a gangster named Mike."

Liu Hui said to Ma Youliang.

"A villain?"

Artists at the king level will be very cautious about playing villains, fearing that it will affect their own image.

Ma Youliang looked at Liu Hui, who just smiled and didn't answer him.

"Okay, let me take a look first."

After receiving the script from Liu Hui, Ma Youliang sat on the sofa and read it carefully.

At the beginning of the script, the storyboard was a bit messy, and Ma Youliang almost thought it was a bad script.

When he looked down patiently, the situation changed.All the sub-cameras are connected in series, and the funny plot begins to appear.

When seeing some wonderful dialogue lines, Ma Youliang couldn't help laughing out loud.

There was a big reversal in the final ending, which made Youliang Ma's eyes shine.

"Good script, I haven't seen such a good script for several years."

"What a pity, what a pity."

Ma Youliang sighed.

"Brother Liang, what's wrong?"

Hearing Ma Youliang sigh, Liu Hui was a little confused.

"It's nothing, Mr. Liu, don't get me wrong."

"I'm not talking about the script, what I regret is the role of Brother Dao."

"I love this character so much, it's a pity that my image doesn't quite fit."

"However, I also like the role of Mike very much. He matches my temperament and image very well."

Worried that Liu Hui would misunderstand, Ma Youliang said quickly.

"You have finished reading the script, do you want to play this Mike?"

"If you don't like it, I'll find someone else to act."

Liu Hui was joking and said with a smile.

"I took this role, such a good script, how could I miss it?"

Ma Youliang really did not expect that Liu Hui could write such an excellent script. It seems that he still doesn't know enough about his boss.

"Mr. Liu, how are the preparations for the film crew going? When will the filming start?"

Ma Youliang is ready to arrange his own schedule.

"The estimated investment of the film is 2000 million, 1000 million will be used as shooting expenses, and the remaining 1000 million will be used for advertising and promotion."

"Directed by director Lu Ding of the company."

"I have read his filming plan, and the main actors and supporting roles are already in place. In four days, we will leave for Shu City for filming."

"It is estimated that the shooting time in Shucheng will be more than half a month."

"All shooting, editing, and production were completed within one month."

Liu Hui said to Ma Youliang.

"So fast, it's all done within a month?"

Ma Youliang did not expect the shooting schedule to be so short.

"Didn't you read the script just now?"

"I have provided all the sub-shots of the script. As long as Director Lu shoots according to the sub-shots, the post-editing work will be very easy, and it will not take a few days."

Liu Hui replied.

"That's right, I was so fascinated by watching it just now, I didn't even notice it."

"These are all shot-by-shot scripts, which are really rare. No wonder when I read the script just now, I felt like I was watching a movie."

Ma Youliang had to admire Liu Hui. This kind of script is impossible for ordinary people to write.

"Mr. Liu, there are still four days before the production team leaves, and I can just use these few days to record a new song."

Ma Youliang planned his time and said to Liu Hui.

"Brother Liang, look at your time arrangement."

"If you're short on time, I can say hello to Director Lu and ask him to finish filming your scene first."

Liu Hui said.

"No need, Mr. Liu."

"Such a good script, I plan to shoot with the crew, and follow the director's arrangement to play the role well."

"One month, I can still spare it."

Hearing Ma Youliang's words, Liu Hui nodded.

"Mr. Liu, if there's nothing else, I'll go to Minister Liang to get the accompaniment for the new song."

Ma Youliang said.

"Okay, you go to work first."

Watching Ma Youliang leave the office, Liu Hui thought he could relax for a while.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ma Youliang left, director Sun Li of the TV series came to the office.

"Mr. Liu, this is the shooting plan for Journey to the West."

"Look carefully, if there is no problem, I want to start shooting as soon as possible."

Sun Li's two eye circles were a bit dark. In order to finish the shooting plan of "Journey to the West" as soon as possible, he had worked a lot of night shifts these days.

Liu Hui took Sun Li's shooting plan and read it carefully.

"Journey to the West" has a total of 25 episodes, and the estimated shooting cost is about 5000 million yuan, with an average of about 200 million yuan per episode.The cost of post-production computer special effects is about 1000 million.

Not counting the promotion expenses, all TV dramas have been produced, with a total investment of about 6000 million.

The amount of investment is within the scope of the company's finances.

Seeing this, Liu Hui nodded.

The filming and post-production of the TV series have all been completed, and it is expected to take about four months. The time period is not very long, and it is two months earlier than Liu Hui's expected half a year.

Liu Hui continued to read the proposal.

Liu Hui frowned when he saw the stills of the main actors' makeup.

This Sun Wukong set makeup...

Is this a headgear you just found to put it on?This is a gorilla, how can it look like a monkey?

The exposed parts of the hands, feet and neck have no body hair.

Liu Hui compared Sun Wukong's custom outfit in his previous life, and they were far from each other.

Zhu Bajie's makeup problem is even bigger.

Apart from his big belly, how could he be seen as a pig?There is no character at all on the face.

The makeup of Tang Seng and Sha Wujing is also very problematic.

"Who did the makeup of the main actors?"

Liu Hui asked a little angrily.

"It was decided after two days of discussion with the artist and makeup artist of the crew."

Hearing Liu Hui's question, Sun Li replied nervously.

"The makeup of all the main actors has been redone."

"What are you doing here?"

"Sun Wukong is a monkey, not a gorilla."

"This Zhu Bajie, from the makeup you made, you can tell that he is a pig."

Liu Hui did not expect that their understanding of the main characters in "Journey to the West" would be so poor.

"Mr. Liu, none of the main characters in the script have appeared before, and we can't find any reference characters."

"These makeups all depend on the imagination of a few of us."

“It’s pretty good that we can do this.”

"If you're not satisfied, I'll go back and find a few more people, and we can think of a solution together."

"Fix the makeup, I will do it again as soon as possible."

Sun Li felt a little wronged, but he had indeed tried his best.

"Forget it, let you continue to do the makeup of the characters in the script, it's really a bit embarrassing for you."

"You take me to find the artist of the crew."

"I will do the makeup for "Journey to the West" myself."

"Let me show you what Monkey King and Zhu Bajie look like."
