Entertainment: God-level nanny

Wang Xiyao has always been looking gloomy recently, not just because "I Am a Singer" has always been beaten by "The Masked Singer" in terms of ratings.

What's more, he has a script for a criminal investigation drama in his hand. Although it's almost ready, he hasn't been able to shoot it!

The reason is simple: lack of actors!

The fundamental reason for the lack of actors is the lack of funds!

When funds are tight, first-line actors can't afford to hire them, second-tier actors don't want to come, third-tier actors are given less, and fourth-tier actors don't want to come!

This embarrassing situation continues until now.

"Mr. Li, Director Wang, I think I need to remind you."

Zhong Weiwei said at this time: "Yiming is an outstanding graduate of the acting major of Longxia Drama Academy. He came from an acting major. I heard that he played the leading role in the graduation drama.

There shouldn't be any problem with starring in a TV series. "

Although Su Yiming and Zhong Weiwei have only known each other for a short time, as Long Xia's most popular singer at the moment and a competitor on the same stage, how could she not get to know each other?

What's more, this information is well documented in Baidu Encyclopedia.

"That's right. I would have forgotten if Weiwei didn't mention it. Yi Ming graduated with a major in acting."

"Director Wang's calculation is wrong now. As a graduate of the acting major, the price cannot be lowered."

"Yi Ming, you're hiding it a little too deeply..."

Zhong Weiwei's words reminded everyone, and they remembered the major Su Yiming studied at university.

If you are just a singer, then you won't get much remuneration for starring in movies and TV series.

But if you add the status of an acting graduate, even if the salary cannot be the same as that of a singer, it must at least be the invitation price of a second-tier actor.

This is an implicit industry rule.

"what?"

Both Li Chengfeng and Wang Xiyao looked at Su Yiming with surprise in their eyes.

That seems to be asking: Is it true or false?

"After graduating from Long Opera, my brother and I also worked in some theater groups and played some extras and small supporting roles, but the results were not very satisfactory."

After watching everyone chatting for a long time, Su Yiming, who had been picking shrimps for the seedlings, said with a smile:

"Of course, it's not that the acting is bad, it's just that the films and TV series produced are all small productions, and it won't be of any benefit to us even if they are broadcast.

At that time, it was purely about accumulating experience. "

"Then it seems that my invitation just now was quite timely."

Wang Xiyao's eyes lit up and he said: "How about it, also named, are you interested in starring in my play?"

Several other people also looked at Su Yiming, waiting for his answer.

"Director Wang, I didn't have a choice before, but now I have the ability, so..."

Su Yiming looked at Wang Xiyao and said, "I want to see if the script is suitable for me first. If not, I'm afraid I won't be able to agree."

Yes, now that you have the ability, why can’t you pick and choose scripts?

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi!

"Script?"

Wang Xiyao frowned and said, "It's okay to look at it, but you have to sign a confidentiality agreement."

"can."

Su Yiming nodded and said, "Do you have a script now? Or you can introduce it to me first."

Reading scripts and signing confidentiality agreements is a routine practice in the entertainment industry.

Although the script has been copyrighted, plagiarism is not allowed, but imitation is allowed, right?

So necessary confidentiality is still necessary!

But it doesn’t matter if I briefly introduce the plot. It’s just an introduction to the story and has no impact.

"can."

Wang Xiyao glanced at Li Chengfeng and saw his boss nodding, so he introduced:

"This is a TV series script called "Twins".

It tells the story of Guan Feng, captain of the criminal investigation detachment. In order to clear his brother Guan Yu of murder charges, the two exchanged identities and solved multiple cases along the way to find the truth.

This involves many cases, and it is expected that 40 episodes will be filmed, which will be broadcast directly on Xiangnan Satellite TV during prime time. "

This content?

Su Yiming frowned, why does it feel similar to "White Night"?

Forget it, we’ll know when we see the specific script.

Picking up a tissue and wiping He Miao's mouth, Su Yiming asked, "Director Wang, how long is the expected shooting period for this book?"

"About 3 months."

Li Chengfeng took over the conversation and added: "It is expected to be released simultaneously on Hunan Satellite TV and Youku Video on May Day this year."

"So, Youku is also involved in this investment?"

Su Yiming asked.

"Correct."

Li Chengfeng nodded, and suddenly an embarrassed look appeared on his face:

"But, the investment in filming is only 4 million Longxia coins, so you may have to be more frugal in terms of filming, actor invitations, publicity..."

"Isn't it right, Mr. Li?"

In addition to being a singer and songwriter, Sha Shanyue is also an actor. He said:

"The filming cost of a 40-episode TV series is 4000 million. Excluding the pre- and post-production publicity expenses and the actor invitation fees, it means that the production cost of each episode is only 100 to , not even million.

Such a production, no matter how good the book is, may not win much reputation. "

Of the current 40-episode TV series, no matter urban or costume, which one does not cost around 1 million to shoot?

For this little money, I’m afraid the production won’t be good enough!

"Shan Yue, I understand what you are saying, but the higher-ups are unwilling to pay more. What can I do?"

Wang Xiyao spread his hands and said leisurely: "Mr. Li can help us apply when the time comes..."

"Old Wang, it would be unconscionable for you to say that."

Li Chengfeng interrupted Wang Xiyao and said, "If I hadn't gone to Chen Taiduo specifically to ask for 800 million, do you think you could get so much money?"

"Come on, Mr. Li, you've said this eight hundred times, and my ears are ringing."

Wang Xiyao didn't appreciate it at all, he said: "With this little money now, I don't think about being a first-line actor. It would be great if I could get Yi Ming to be the leading actor.

Also known as, if you are willing to come, I will make the decision and I can give you a salary of 600 million, how about it? "

There are various ways to pay actors' remuneration. It can be paid once per episode, or it can be a one-time payment based on the total number of episodes, or other forms of payment arrangements.

Of course, for well-known actors, they are usually calculated based on the total number of episodes.

Su Yiming is a new first-line singer. Although he has no famous works in film and television dramas, he can directly receive a salary of 600 million, which is considered top-notch among second-tier actors!

600?

Su Yiming was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to get such a large salary.

This accounts for almost one-seventh of the total investment, and Wang Xiyao is really willing to do so.

Seeing that Su Yiming didn't speak, Wang Xiyao thought he disagreed, so he continued: "Yiming, I can only squeeze out so much money. After all, I have to invite other actors..."

"Director Wang, I am definitely happy to act in a TV series, but as I said just now, I have to read the script before I can make a decision."

Su Yiming interrupted Wang Xiyao's chatter and said: "And if the script is particularly well written, our studio can also invest in it.

I just don’t know if your Taiwan and Youku can agree? "

investment!

Speaking of this, Wang Xiyao's eyes immediately lit up: "How much can you take out?"

"It has to be 20 million anyway, right?"

Su Yiming quickly said: "I think the total investment of 6000 million yuan should be enough to produce this TV series.

And even if I didn’t come to make additional investment, the funding for the filming should be more than 4000 million..."
