Chapter 487

Men's Gang, because of Lu Yang's rebirth, entered the shooting two or three years in advance, but just because it was two or three years in advance, many things are different, and money can't solve them.

For example, the original three male protagonists in men's gang - Sun Honglei, Huang Lei and Wang Jun.

Fortunately, Huang Lei has not really become famous. He has participated in several TV dramas, even wrote, directed and performed one by himself. He has made records, published essays and presided over radio programs, but he has not been remembered by the public. Therefore, there is no urgent itinerary at present. Wang Lin successfully signed a contract with Lu Yang according to his name and approximate age.

But the other two heroes can't help it.

Sun Honglei, the actor of Xiaobai, the first male customer of the men's Gang, is currently starring in a large-scale war film with a total investment of more than 50 million - "the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life", which is in full swing in Beijing! Want to dig him up for the men at this time? Bullshit!

Wang Jun, the third leading actor, is a national first-class director with a master's degree. He is a first-class director of the General Political Bureau Opera Troupe. His qualifications are frightening. The original time and space. Two or three years later, director Zhao Baosteel invited him to play the third man in the men's gang. It doesn't mean that Lu Yang and Wang Lin have this face. Moreover, Wang Jun is also very busy and is participating in the shooting of another TV play. Wang Lin's contact number was called, and others politely refused, making you lose your temper.

In addition, several heroines and supporting actress of the play have basically been replaced. It can be said that the play has changed beyond recognition before shooting.

If there's any good news?

There is only one! At the beginning of this month, the shooting of "dragon and snake attack" has just ended and entered the post production stage. Lu Yang and Wang Lin personally contacted director Yuan Yu and finally hired a large number of crew members from the crew of "dragon and snake attack", which somewhat relieved Lu Yang and Wang Lin.

Otherwise, a TV play with a total investment of no less than 30 million may not go well, and it will be impossible to shoot.

On the first night of Lu Yang's arrival in Shanghai on April 16, he and Wang Lin came to a barbecue shop on the Bund. Two big men ordered some barbecue. One man grabbed a bottle of beer and frowned while drinking to discuss the men's gang.

Although the crew has been set up, there are still many problems.

The first thing before them is the total investment of more than 30 million yuan. It's not that they can't afford the money, but that they need to spend so much money on TV dramas for the first time. Both of them feel great pressure. If they miss, if they hit the 30 million yuan, they may lose their money.

The second is the problem of the other two male protagonists. If the male protagonist is not selected well or not, the stills will be destroyed.

"Wenda! You make up your mind! Why don't we make a movie? You write another script, a ready-made crew, and the actors signed before should discuss it with them. It should be no problem!"

Wang Lin is a little afraid of difficulties.

It's a total investment of more than 30 million, which is a little large. Even if the two share equally, each person has to spend 15 million. With so much money, Lu Yang needs to sell shares, while Wang Lin needs to go home and convince his parents that he may not be able to succeed.

Lu Yang grabbed the wine bottle and touched Wang Lin again. He gulped down the wine, and he was a little upset. For the rebirth novels he had seen in his memory, when the hero returned, it was like playing in movies and TV dramas. How could everything go wrong when it was his turn? Am I not the hero? Lack of hero aura?

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and began to recall the original men's gang and his own script. At this time, he wondered why others dared to invest more than 30 million or even more to shoot men's gang. The play had only about 30 episodes, but the investment was so large.

After all, this modern play is too modern! All kinds of modern scenes and costumes in the play are beautiful. Although the plot is easy, the total investment is less, so it's really hard to play.

And the pay for those starring!

It is not a single male and single female TV series. There are three male protagonists and more female protagonists. Each of the three male protagonists has to be equipped with two or three or even more female protagonists.

Once positioned as a heroine, the film pay is naturally high. In addition, the film pay for each episode of the three male protagonists may be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. After 30 episodes, the film pay for a single protagonist will be hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

When Wang Lin saw Lu Yang squinting and thinking, he didn't bother. He just frowned and ate barbecue there. He looked at Lu Yang from time to time. He had no choice.

"Three points!"

Lu Yang suddenly opened his mouth. Wang Lin stopped a piece of barbecue at his mouth and stared at Lu Yang. He couldn't think of it at all, but Lu Yang suddenly told him three points.

Lu Yang didn't care how surprised he was. He began to say: "First, find sponsors! We promise to insert advertisements into the play, let them pay sponsorship fees, and all kinds of cosmetics, mobile phones, clothes, shoes, etc. as long as all the things that can be used in the play are listed by the prop group, and then talk about them one by one! Modern drama also has the advantages of modern drama. All the things that appear in the play can find manufacturers and businesses! Can we compete Take as much as you can! Especially Jingdong and Taobao! Try to let them spend a lot of money on our naming right! If the naming right is not enough, you can also insert advertisements for them in the play! Try to make a price of 10 million! The lowest price can't be less than 5 million! "

Wang Lin shook his hand and the barbecue on the chopsticks fell on the table. The barbecue bounced on the table twice.

"Is it too cruel?" Wang Lin muttered to himself.

Lu Yang continued: "second! It's obvious that the male and female protagonists don't look for big names! Not one! Also, there are three male protagonists in the play. This can't be changed because the title is called men's gang." , but there is only one heroine! When other heroines sign the contract, they all sign as supporting actress! They may not be famous, or their acting skills are not high, but they must be beautiful! Strive for all heroines except the only heroine, and the film pay for each episode shall not exceed 5000 yuan! "

Wang Lin was about to take a sip of wine. When he heard the last sentence, he choked all the wine in the intake pipe and coughed continuously there.

Too cruel!

This time Wang Lin couldn't say it, but he said it in his heart.

Lu Yang looked at him, smiled a little and continued: "third! We don't have another crew! Look at the appropriate actors in the crew, and try to let them come to the men's gang for friendship guest roles! Give them some fares! You can save a little!"

"Wenda! Is that too cruel?"

Wang Lin finally said this.

Lu Yang smiled at him: "do you have a better way?"

Wang Lin opened his mouth. He didn't think of one before.

"I think of another point. Maybe it's feasible!" Lu Yang said again.

"What?" Wang Lin looked forward to and couldn't bear it. He felt that if this continued, their moral integrity would be lost, which would soon become an empty handed white wolf.

Naming rights, crazy wantonly insert advertisements in the play, reduce film pay, catch strong men and make friendly guest appearances. Now there are

"The fourth point! After we shoot the first three episodes, let the publicity team go out to the TV station and try to sell the first round broadcasting right! How much can we sell! And the second round broadcasting right, etc.! Try to get back about 10 million before half the shooting progress!"

After Lu Yang finished these four points, he was also slightly relieved and finally thought of some ways. Otherwise, the pressure of more than 30 million yuan would be too great just because of his investment and Wang Lin's investment.

With these four points, if the operation is good, it should save more than half of the investment.

"OK!"

Wang Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. The last point was not so immoral. It was a normal commercial means. Wang Lin raised the beer bottle in his hand and said, "Wenda! Have a drink for our collusion!"

Lu Yang lost his smile, but he still grabbed the wine bottle and touched him. As soon as he tilted his neck, they both drank a few mouthfuls. They always felt a lot relaxed in their hearts.

With so much investment left, other problems put much less pressure on them.

As long as each person only needs to invest a few million, even if he loses in the end, he can't lose much.

"Where's the hero? Wenda! There are still two heroes!"

With four plans to significantly reduce investment, Wang Lin has more expectations for Lu Yang. He hopes that Lu Yang can solve the problem of the hero tonight.

But Lu Yang is not a god! The problem with the hero is not that he can find someone who is suitable. The actor's image and acting skills are suitable, but only the prerequisite. It also depends on whether the other party has a schedule and whether he is willing to participate in their TV series.

With their current fame, even if their actor image and acting skills are suitable for starring in men's Gang, there is a gap period, but they may not be willing to play with them.

"You should have a recently collected actor list there? Show it to me tomorrow and I'll think about it! Well, don't give me the actor information without schedule!"

Lu Yang can only answer that.

"OK! I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning!"

Wang Lin is not disappointed. Lu Yang is not from the film and television industry. He doesn't have the information of those actors. It's really unreliable for him to think about choosing the hero just by his head.

……

The next morning, before nine o'clock, Wang Lin sent a large stack of information about mainland actors to Lu Yang's hotel. At that time, Lu Yang just got up, ate the breakfast provided in the hotel and drank milk, while turning over the information about the actors. He read it quickly. Basically, he only looked at the names of these people and turned to the next one in his heart, Lu Yang still wants to find an actor who is not famous in his memory, but will become popular in a year or two. He wants to find a guy who is very cheap but excellent in acting.

Wang Lin didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing him flipping through the information so hastily, he felt a little painful.
