The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

"Come and listen, listen to their boss's plans every year, and then look at what our boss does every day. The gap is more than just five to eight years." Juzi glanced at Xia Haoyang, and Xia Haoyang was at this moment He was picking his nose with his legs crossed, looking stupid and ugly. Juzi shook his head in disgust.

"Mr. Wang, I asked you many questions today, including the future development of your company, the impact of AI on the film and television industry, and I also learned about the high-tech virtual movie studio that you and Forty Thieves have vigorously developed. In fact, I also have a I want to ask you a question, which I believe many fans are eager to know." Host Lan Yu looked directly at Mr. Wang with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them." Mr. Wang seemed to be prepared.

"Yesterday, both your company and Fat Cat Studio issued announcements that your company purchased a 2.4-episode TV series script by Mr. Xia Haoyang for a sky-high price of 9 million. Why is this script so expensive? Why did you spend such a high price to buy this script? ? Do you know? Some netizens said that you are buying horse bones for thousands of dollars. According to expert analysis: the number of students applying for the Screenwriting Department of the Film Academy will increase more than tenfold next year! What is your purpose in buying such an expensive script? "

This problem is not only incomprehensible to host Lan Yu, but also to netizens. In fact, it is also unimaginable for the people at Xia Haoyang Studio.

"Haha, this expert analysis said that there will be ten times more students applying for the Screenwriting Department of the Film Academy next year. This is a bit exaggerated. Which expert can make such an estimate." Mr. Wang smiled.

"This is true. It is the speculation of Zhang Xuefeng, a well-known instructor for the postgraduate entrance examination and college entrance examination. He is an expert trusted by netizens and fans." Lan Yu explained with a smile.

"Zhang Xuefeng, I know that he is a man of real ability and practical, which is commendable."

"Today we are not talking about Teacher Zhang Xuefeng, but about you. Mr. Wang, can you give us netizens an answer? Why did you spend such an expensive price to buy a script?"

"Because he is worth it!" Mr. Wang said calmly.

"A script worth 2.4 million yuan is only nine episodes. What do you think is it worth? Where is the value? The script for 80 episodes of "The Ming Dynasty" is only million yuan."

"According to our predictions, this script will bring us at least 15 billion in revenue in the future." Mr. Wang said softly.

"Revenue of 15 billion? How can you do it? Will any TV station spend such a huge price to buy it?" Lan Yu expressed disbelief.

"Now in early September, I will see if I can film this script before the end of this year. Then everyone will know why he is worth it. Please forgive me for holding back for now." Mr. Wang said with a smile.

"Okay, then we are all waiting for the filming and release of Mr. Wang's film. What kind of film will this TV series with a record script cost be? The audience is like me, wait and see."

"Tch, after reading the interview, I didn't say anything. It was a waste of my time." Juzi still had more to say.

"Actually, Mr. Wang said, because he is worth it." Xia Haoyang said proudly.

"Fat man, this matter will be remembered by netizens this time. People hate the rich. If the filming of the TV series is a little worse, netizens will curse and criticize your script. 2.4 million, this money is earned Make netizens jealous." Lao Xie patted Xia Haoyang on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang's prediction is correct. By then, various adaptation rights and the copyright of various gadgets will really make over a billion."

"Then let's wait and see. By the way, Fatty, your film was sold to the Wang brothers. They may not hire one of us to play the heroine when filming this drama."

"There aren't really any female roles. It's okay. Whoever you love will play the role." Xia Haoyang didn't take it seriously.

Fat Cat Studio no longer cares about the female characters in this script, but Mr. Wang or Director Zhang from Friendship Brothers Films is still very generous and sent an invitation letter hoping that Zeng Jingyi will play the role of the short-haired thief in the film. In this script, she is already the female character with the most roles.

To their great surprise, everyone at Fat Cat Studio did not hesitate and agreed to offer Zeng Jingyi 900 million to star in the film.

As for why Zeng Jingyi was named to play the most important female role, he probably wanted to tie Xia Haoyang together. As we all know, Xia Haoyang himself would not bother to go to the crew if there were no Tara members. This drama is the most popular drama of Friendship Brothers in the second half of the year. Important investment, both Mr. Wang and Director Zhang hope that Xia Haoyang can communicate and cooperate more with the crew, so it is natural to invite Zeng Jingyi to play the female lead.

What is different from all previous script shootings is that Xia Haoyang really attaches great importance to this drama. It is the first time for Xia Haoyang to join the crew on the first day of filming.

Moreover, in the crew, not only the content of the story, but also the shooting ideas and methods are communicated with the director, and even the costumes and settings Xia Haoyang has interference and naming requirements. Director Zhang also attaches great importance to Xia Haoyang's suggestions. Basically, the requirements for the screenwriter Xia Haoyang are: Take all orders as ordered.

The filming of "Squid Game" has also attracted a lot of media attention. Many media wanted to visit the crew but were rejected by the crew. In order to ensure that the plot is not leaked, not only the actors but also all the staff have signed a strict confidentiality system.

The most outrageous thing is that even the male protagonist with the most roles in this drama did not receive a complete plot outline. Only three people in the crew knew the complete story, director and screenwriter Xia Haoyang, and supporting actress Zeng Jingyi.

The male protagonist of this film is also an old acquaintance of Xia Haoyang - Zhu Longyi.

The first time he interacted with Xia Haoyang was when he guest-starred in Tara's micro-movie of a girl group song; the second time they worked together was when he was filming Xia Haoyang's movie "Love Is Like a Song" and played the male lead, and this time he played the male lead, which was also the third time Zhu Longyi collaborated with Xia Haoyang. .

Zhu Longyi's agent was also very emotional. He originally had an idea and made a guest appearance in Xia Haoyang's micro-movie with the purpose of not offending him. As a result, he was rewarded with the leading role in two films. "Love Cantate" did not exceed the box office. To one billion, although many hardcore fans like the music of this movie, the overall response to the movie is mediocre.

Nowadays, the leading actor in "The Squid Game" is very popular. Many big-name stars are willing to play the role even if their net worth is reduced. It is said that it was Xia Haoyang who suggested it. Director Zhang then negotiated with Mr. Wang against the crowd and decided to sign Zhu Longyi with a top-notch net worth of 8000 million. cooperate.

A guest appearance in exchange for such an opportunity can only be said to be worth it.

So on the first day when he joined the set, Zhu Long and his agent invited Xia Haoyang to dinner to reminisce about old times; Xia Haoyang did not act like a big name, and went to the appointment generously with Zeng Jingyi, and the two of them chatted and laughed.
