Chapter 1188 Money Dropped from the Sky
It was quite difficult for Miao Lanzhi to remove her makeup in broad daylight.
Because of her work, her mother-in-law has developed the habit of getting up early every day to put on makeup, without going to bed or taking off her makeup.
After having several children, she occasionally took off her makeup during the day and let her children kiss her on the face.
Hua Zhao whispered to Ye Ming, who was having a great time playing with Xiao Shenxing.
"Brother, why are you here? It's rare to see you during the day." Hua Zhao looked at the sky outside. It was only around 4 p.m. and he hadn't gotten off work yet.
Ye Ming looked up at her and smiled: "I went to pick up my mother when she came back."
"What's wrong?" Hua Zhao asked strangely.
When Miao Lanzhi goes out to film, she almost always goes with the team. We all go there by car and go back together, sometimes by truck, sometimes by bus. If the conditions are good, we can use a small jeep, but there is no nanny car.
"There is a problem with her scene, and it may not be possible to film," Ye Ming said.
"Ah, I said that my mother's expression seemed a little bad just now, and I thought I was wrong." Hua Zhao said.
Ye Ming smiled at her. How could her eyes be wrong? If she was wrong, she wouldn't ask him in a low voice now, for fear that Miao Lanzhi would hear him.
"What's the problem?" Hua Zhao asked curiously.
"The heroine was suddenly discovered to be pregnant and she was not allowed to act." Ye Ming said.
"Ah?" Hua Zhao didn't understand: "Can't you act while you're pregnant? I remember that the heroine in that movie didn't have a martial arts plot, right? Even if there was, couldn't she find a substitute?"
Miao Lanzhi acted in a costume drama, in which she played the heroine's mother.
"The female lead isn't married yet, and she hasn't said she has a partner yet," Ye Ming said.
Hua Zhao was stunned for a moment and understood, remembering that this was 1982, not 1992.
At this time, actors all had professional jobs. They worked and received salary plus bonuses, and there was no remuneration.
The salary is higher than that of ordinary people. When the per capita salary is a few dozen yuan, a leading role can cost a few hundred yuan a month.
A serious woman in a serious workplace suddenly reveals she is pregnant out of wedlock. This is a big deal. She has a bad lifestyle and will lose her job.
Since my job is gone, I am naturally not qualified to act.
This is thanks to the year 1982. If this were the year 1972, it would not only be as simple as losing a job, but also meetings, wearing worn-out shoes, and parading in the streets.
"Then what should we do now? I heard that it is a big drama, and we have invested several million! Cut it in half? Should we change the heroine and start from scratch?" Hua Zhao asked.
The millions in this era are truly astronomical figures, and the hundreds of millions in the future may not be comparable.
"I don't know, their work unit will discuss it." Ye Ming doesn't care whether a TV series can be made.
It's just that when my mother called me today, she sounded very depressed, saying that she didn't want to stay on the set anymore and it was a bit chaotic, so he hurried to pick her up.
Miao Lanzhi had already walked out of the bathroom. Seeing their expressions, she guessed that Ye Ming had told Hua Zhao.
Originally not intending to hide it, Miao Lanzhi immediately complained to Hua Zhao.
She has too many expectations for this drama, and she takes the filming very seriously. During her break, she will even discuss the characters, plot, and even the scenes with Hua Zhao.
Unexpectedly, all the efforts were in vain.
"Don't be too disappointed. At worst, we'll have to work hard again, find a new heroine, and film her scenes alone. It won't be too much," Hua Zhao said.
Because she had discussed it with Miao Lanzhi, she knew that this was a group drama, and she was said to be the heroine, but she should actually be one of the heroines.
There aren't many scenes about her, and she can't be guaranteed to appear in every episode. She only shows up for a few minutes.
"To put it simply, it would require mobilizing a lot of manpower and material resources." Miao Lanzhi said: "For example, in the scene on the grassland, the heroine played opposite almost all the leading actors there, as well as a large number of extras, and a large number of cattle and sheep.
.
"If you want to reshoot her alone, you have to drag everyone over and do it all over again! You may even have to wait a year."
How much does it cost? Staff, food, accommodation, and extras are all paid in cash without wages. Isn’t that money?
Moreover, it was filmed in late autumn, and we had to wait more than half a year before we could reshoot it.
"As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem." Hua Zhao said: "How about I sponsor it?"
It's only a few million, and she doesn't need to invest all of it.
"Is one million enough?" Hua Zhao asked.
Miao Lanzhi and Ye Ming both looked at her strangely. They had never seen Hua Zhao be so "generous".
Sponsoring a TV series is a waste of money, right?
"I only ask that my company's advertisement be added after the opening and ending songs, and the time should not be less than 10 seconds." Hua Zhao said: "As for which company, we will study it later, maybe one, maybe several, but in any case
The time should not exceed 10 seconds.”
"And I request that this 10-second advertisement be bound to the TV series. No matter who the rights to the TV series are sold to in the future, this advertisement must be broadcast."
She suddenly became excited and felt like money was falling from the sky.
1 million can add a permanent advertisement, the time is uncertain, maybe ten years, maybe decades.
She felt like she had picked up 1 billion.
She knew about Miao Lanzhi's drama, but she was a little confused as to why she had never heard of this drama in her previous life.
It stands to reason that with this plot, this cast, and this investment, she would have heard of it if it was filmed.
At this time, the film studios were all public-owned, and it was not easy to start a project, and even fewer invested millions.
In 1987, only over 6 million was invested in the Dream of Red Mansions.
There are four other classics, and the 1980s versions can be played for 20 years.
It adds up to 20 seconds of advertising, and it is not limited to TV stations, and there is no limit to the number of times. You can watch it once after one episode... She feels that 1 billion is too little.
Just because of this advertisement, she felt that she would be sorry if she didn't open more companies.
"Do you really want to invest money? 1 million?" Miao Lanzhi asked.
She thought differently from Hua Zhao. She felt that it was a waste for Hua Zhao to spend 1 million just for a 10-second advertisement.
"If that doesn't work, just make it longer, 30 seconds? 1 minute?" Miao Lanzhi bargained for her.
Hua Zhao refused: "It can't be too long, otherwise it will have the opposite effect and make everyone hate it to death."
Forget it until the end of the credits. Play whatever you like after the TV series is over.
At the beginning of the TV series, people are eagerly waiting for the show, and the commercials are indeed endless.
Damn it, boycott this company!
"I think 10 seconds is too long. It's better to have 5 seconds," Hua Zhao said.
Miao Lanzhi...she thought it was right after hearing Hua Zhao's explanation.
"Then I'll call the director and screenwriter over and let's talk about it?" Miao Lanzhi said.
"Come quickly." Hua Zhao said.
Miao Lanzhi immediately called.
The other party heard that someone was investing, and the price was only a 5-second advertisement, and they wanted to fly over with wings.
But they were stymied by the emotional actors, so they asked Miao Lanzhi to wait for two days, and they were sure to arrive!
Here, Tao Lan heard that she was going to invest in a blockbuster movie and immediately came over.
"What do you think of me being an actor?" he asked.
Chapter completed!
