Chapter 272 Love
So Chen Zhengqian was a little surprised when he heard Liu Dong say that he wanted to shoot a script with supernatural themes.
Then I thought to myself: Could it be that Liu Dong is still a fan of supernatural thriller themes?
In fact, it is not impossible to shoot supernatural things, but I’m afraid he has no experience. What should the audience do if the filming is not paid?
Sure enough, Liu Dong's answer confirmed Chen Zhengqian's conjecture.
He said: "I personally prefer this style. The style of this work is more realistic and does not have too many supernatural elements. However, it is written in a horror atmosphere, and it feels like it will be a good work. And it is not entirely supernatural thriller plots. What the author wants to express is that through these stories, we advocate the concept that people's hearts are good and good and evil will be rewarded in the end."
Chen Zhengqian asked him: "Are you sure about this work?"
Liu Dong gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to say, "Yes! Please believe me, Mr. Chen, I will definitely make this work!"
Chen Zhengqian nodded: "Since you feel confident, then take a photo!"
This kind of niche movie will not be very invested in, as long as it can recover the cost, if it can make one or two newcomers famous, it will make a profit. At that time, you have to promote it well.
Liu Dongda breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Thank you, Mr. Chen! I will definitely make this work!"
In fact, he was not sure about it just now. After all, he could only be considered a semi-new person. He studied for so long, but he had no experience in directing alone. It is still unknown whether he could shoot well.
But since the big boss supports him so much, there is no reason why he still has no confidence in himself!
He has also filmed some micro-videos on related topics before, and he has barely had some experience, but the success of a work involves too many factors, and he cannot guarantee that he can only do his best to do his job well.
So Liu Dong secretly made up his mind to study the novel thoroughly when he went back. It is best to find the author of the book and discuss his ideas about the book with him to see if he could get some inspiration from it.
Chen Zhengqian highly recognizes the opinions of the two directors. Since they are so confident, let go and do it. I believe that with everyone working together, they will definitely gain something!
There must be money to shoot, he told the two directors: "As for funding, have you ever made a budget?"
Lin Yiming replied: "My new drama may require 7 million to 8 million yuan, and I plan to shoot 30 episodes."
Liu Dongze said: "I need about 5 million here, and I will shoot about 25 episodes."
"So that?"
Chen Zhengqian tapped the table with his fingers and fell into deep thought.
To be honest, this budget is quite reasonable. The reason why the previous drama was so low was that it used all new actors. But now these two dramas are definitely impossible, at least the actors' pay accounts for a large part. And if you want to make a fine product, you must be carefully engraved, and a certain cost investment is necessary.
However, Chen Zhengqian decided to agree.
Lin Yiming and Liu Dong were both worried, wondering if they were too arrogant and would have to leave more than 10 million yuan in a row, for fear that the boss would not agree.
Just when they were worried, Chen Zhengqian said, "Okay, I agree! I came back to sign with the plan, and then went to the Finance Department to get the money!"
Lin Yiming and Liu Dong were overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
In fact, they are ready to have some of their budget cut. Even if they give them a little less, they will set up the crew first. At worst, they will cry to the boss and see if they can make up for it.
Who knew that the boss agreed so readily, he was simply a conscientious capitalist!
For a moment, both of them were very happy and naturally felt infinitely grateful to Chen Zhengqian. Facts proved how important it is to meet a good boss!
Chen Zhengqian looked at the two of them and smiled, "Okay, okay, you two can just do your best to film." Then he said to several directors of other departments: "The company must cooperate with these two projects and implement them as soon as possible!"
Everyone answered it.
Always feeling something was missing, Chen Zhengqian thought about it, patted his head, and said, "Oh, by the way, what do you two have in terms of actors?"
Lin Yiming quickly said: "I prefer to use the original cast of the previous drama. It should be fine, that is, the actor's remuneration will probably increase."
This is fine, Chen Zhengqian agreed. He didn't participate by himself, so the male lead was probably Zhang Sirui. In addition, the company seems to have signed many newcomers recently, and then they will give a role and go to the crew to play a supporting role.
Liu Dong said: "In addition to the protagonists who can use newcomers, there are other important supporting roles in this drama. I hope to find some not-famous old actors to participate in the role. The pay will not be too high, but the effect will be good. After all, it is a realistic style, and the actors should be the kind with some life experience."
Chen Zhengqian also agreed.
However, at this time, Xiao Yueqing, who is in charge of the film and television production department, interjected: "Mr. Chen, there may be some problems with the actors."
Chen Zhengqian frowned: "What's the problem?"
Xiao Yueqing said: "There is no problem for others, but Zhang Sirui has some trouble..."
Zhang Sirui? What trouble did this kid cause for himself?
Chen Zhengqian couldn't figure it out.
I heard Xiao Yueqing say: "Zhang Sirui returned from the Maldives last night and was photographed by a reporter at the airport with his young girlfriend. It was circulated and the company has not responded to this yet. This morning he came to me and told me that they wanted to disclose their relationship."
"Open the relationship?" Chen Zhengqian was stunned. He didn't expect it to be because of this.
In fact, judging from the development of the entertainment industry over the years, it is no longer a new thing for celebrities to open their relationships.
In the past, most celebrities took the youth idol route. Once they made their relationship public or their marriage, their career development would naturally be impacted. Even if the impact was not big, it would have a certain impact. Therefore, many celebrities would try their best to hide it from their fans when they are in love or get married, so as not to affect their popularity.
But now, as the entertainment market is developing more and more mature, celebrities can package it well through artist companies and have rich development routes. The impact of revealing personal feelings is no longer as serious as in previous years, and they can even use this to hype and increase exposure.
Haven’t you seen the current entertainment headlines, it’s all about Xie and Wang’s reunion, Zhang and Zheng’s breakup. There are so many things to count.
However, the news headlines are not so easy to hit now. There are no big hits and media reporters are not stupid. How can you help you promote your popularity in vain?
After all, Zhang Sirui was brought out by himself, and he is also a popular young actor who is now popular in the company. If he really makes his relationship public so simply, if it really affects his future development, it will be a considerable loss for the company.
So when Chen Zhengqian heard this, he couldn't help frowning and thought to himself that this kid would really cause trouble for himself!
Chen Zhengqian asked everyone to take a break first, and then someone asked Zhang Sirui to come over and decided to talk to him. (To be continued.)
