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

Especially Liu Tao.

In his previous life, he relied on two dramas, Noon Sunshine, "Nirvana in Fire" and "Ode to Joy" to become famous.

In this life, she would not join Jiaxing.

It is naturally impossible for Xu Jia to release the heroine's position.

And he was quite optimistic about Wang Kai, who originally played Prince Jing.

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

On the contrary, veteran actors like Liu Yijun and Wang Song were the ones Xu Jia valued.

Whether you sign or not, leave your contact information.

There will always be a need in the future, and the salary of Xiaoxianrou will skyrocket, and the cost-effectiveness of these veteran actors will be highlighted.

After Hou Hongliang auditioned each actor, he would draw a circle or a cross after his or her name.

"How's it going?"

"It's okay. Liu Tao plays Concubine Jing, Liu Mintao plays the eldest princess, Wang Kaiwen plays Meng Zhi, and Huang Weide has a very serious attitude. Prince Yu can give him a try."

Xu Jia nodded. This was similar to the team of "Nirvana in Fire" 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 was the one who impressed Xu Jia the most during the audition.

He arrived at the scene directly carrying a fifty-page biography.

After all, this play has an original work, so it is normal for the actors to prepare in advance. Some of the well-connected people got the script before they came. But being so well prepared for a supporting role, a bit like Liang Jiahui's attitude when he played Zhou Chaosheng, moved everyone present.

Except for Jin Dong, who was inserted into 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 was a pity that he was the lifeblood of the noon sun, so he gave up the idea.

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

It has become a tradition for the director team to guest star in the film, and this drama is even more unique as nine directors have all booked guest roles.

Kong Sheng plans to play a guest role as one of the ministers in the scene where he pays homage to the Empress Dowager.

The three executive directors are Xia Jiang, the head of the Hanging Mirror Division, Ouyang Chi, the patrol battalion general, Zhen Ping, Mei Changsu's subordinate, and four deputy directors.

These are all characters with names.

Xu Jia was interested when he heard it and thought about the character list.

"Let's talk about it."

"Huh? Why?"

Hou Hongliang was quite surprised by this answer.

He originally thought that Xu Jia would choose a role that could be cool or show off.

"This character is the pistachio that eases the atmosphere in the play. I like this kind of relaxing plot, and the plot is not heavy." Xu Jia explained.

It was impossible for him to focus on the characters. The laughing and joking character was 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 it won't delay things.

"Director Kong, you have to be merciful when the time comes." Xu Jia said with a smile.

"It's easy to talk about."

Everyone laughed good-naturedly.

In the eyes of others, the role that is desirable is so easily settled.

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

The main roles have been decided, and the supporting roles, big and small, as well as the shooting time and location will be arranged later.

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

He left "Nirvana in Fire" before joining the production team of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers".

Compared to the orderly midday sun.

The preparation team for "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" seemed disorganized.

Wen Muye looked at the messy chicken coop with a bitter look on his face: "I found out when I came here that not only do we have to start over from scratch, but leaving the original team is just like setting up a project."

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

Xu Jia frowned and did not rebuke Wen Muye, but looked around: "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.

The project was being prepared and the producer was away.

What kind of evil is Ciwen Media planning to do?

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

Naturally, Xu Jia couldn't bear the tone of being left here after all his own people were sent here.

"Mr. Xu, it's not that we don't do it, it's that the policy has changed. A four-star drama has become two stars. With the investment cost of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", it will be difficult for us to make back. If we don't film it now, we will lose tens of millions at most." , if it is shot, it will cost hundreds of millions and it will be unstoppable."

Ma Zhongjun was also very helpless. If he didn’t do this project, it would be Ciwen Media.

But there was no way, one drama had four stars instead of two, and basically all the previous profit plans were overturned.

Xu Jia frowned even more tightly. The so-called four-star TV series means that one TV series can be broadcast on four satellite TV stations.

After becoming a two-star broadcast, it can only be broadcast on two channels at most.

It's like selling a play to four houses instead of selling it to only two. The cost cannot be shared, so the cost has naturally increased a lot.

Satellite TV will also consider whether to spend so much money on large-scale productions.

I can't blame the actors who later became famous and famous for their skyrocketing paychecks.

TV stations have fewer dramas to buy, and the cost of purchasing movies is high. Of course, they have to choose good ones, and that can only be seen from the lineup. This is the first line, and that topic is hot, so it is definitely better 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 it be of high quality?

It forced the veteran cast to come out.

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

"If you don't want to do this project, or it can't go ahead, 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 hesitated. He didn't want to give up on this project, especially when Xu Jia valued it so much.

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

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

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

He would rather abandon this project than let Wen Mino and others waste time here.

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

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

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

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

There was a time when he was so wealthy, but unfortunately the costs in the entertainment industry have risen so fast this year that he simply cannot afford to gamble.

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