my crew is not human

Chapter 385

The addition of Chen Zili delayed the start of the filming of the Super British series.

Because he wants to change the script.

However, this was agreed upon during the initial discussion, and Li Xianyun did not object.

The director's job was handed over to Chen Zili, but Li Xianyun, who had a strong desire for control, still took over the producer's job.

This guy is a typical do-nothing-uncomfortable ski.

Originally, Chen Zili had his own favorite actor, but Li Xianyun would not agree with this. This was also the focus of the debate at the beginning, but Li Xianyun also knew that he should not only consider the cheapness of his own artist, the suitability of the artist is the most important thing.

It is finally determined that in the trilogy of the Chaoying series, Zhang Ruosheng will play the first male role, replacing Lin Xiaoyu's role as the captain of Huaguo.This is an artist under the Linglan Company, a top-notch contemporary artist, but her acting skills are average.This is the condition of cooperation between them and Yisheng Media, which cannot be changed, and it is one of the factors that Chen Zili is most dissatisfied with. For this reason, he has repeatedly revised several drafts of the script, just to suit the artist's temperament.It was Li Xianyun who repeatedly assured him that our phenomon patch would definitely make his acting skills outstanding, so he agreed.

The male lead is played by He Junwei. For his own purposes, Li Xianyun has arranged for He Junwei's second half of his life. It is impossible not to give him some care. Besides, he was also the lead actor of Chaoying, and he still plays the track hunter.

The male third is starring Feng Xinlong. This is an actor who has a good relationship with Chen Zili, and he is also a second-tier actor. However, in order to win this role, Feng Xinlong also lowered his value. The three plays only cost 800 million , and as a concession, Li Xianyun accepted Chen Zili's role as Feng Xinlong. His role is actually similar to that of He Junwei, replacing the original role of Frozen Man.

The female lead is played by Han Xinyu, who replaced Lan Lan's role and played the sharpshooter. She is good at this kind of heroic heroine role, and this is the most uncontroversial.

As for Lan Lan, Li Xianyun had already given up on her - this woman had been with Zhang Beihong for three months, got two endorsements from Zhang Beihong's relationship, and even did the thing of skipping the agent to take on the show.You must know that she and Yi Sheng's agent have an exclusive contract, which is a breach of contract!

Enterprises are about systems. It’s okay for you to sleep with someone, girl, but it’s absolutely not okay if you don’t pay.

Of course, Boss Li is also magnanimous. Seeing that he did his best to serve him at the beginning, he didn’t plan to retaliate. Just find a company that is willing to take over and sell it. It will give your artists another chance and will not delay your future.

Han Xinyu's film salary is 8000 million plus a [-]% profit share. This price is basically comparable to that of the male Zhang Ruosheng. Zhang Ruosheng is a top class in China. In terms of popularity, he is much higher than Han Xinyu, but in terms of acting skills, he is not as good as Han Xinyu.Li Xianyun must take care of his family, so he directly set high standards.

The second female lead is played by Qin Yulin, and this time she is also playing her own identity, so there is no controversy.

The third girl is played by Jiang Lanwen. Just as Li Xianyun judged, Jiang Lanwen has become one of the most popular characters in the [-] Internet series, just like Rocky, so the number of roles has also greatly increased.

Naturally, such a role should be retained, not to mention the intimacy. Jiang Lanwen also came to see Li Xianyun from time to time.Li Xianyun originally refused, but when she heard that she broke up with Lin Xiaoyu again, she accepted it with a smile.

In addition, there is Luo Yunyun, she participated in the drama of the old ghost, and her popularity is just around the corner. Now is the cheapest time, so there is no need to waste such resources.

Further down are some personnel from the original Superhero series. As long as they performed well, a considerable part of them will be reused, and only a few will be replaced.

Lin Xiaoyu was a little unhappy about this, and Li Xianyun also promised to make up for him in other major dramas.

Other than that, it's the same old routine: star artists from both agencies will come to guest star.

But this time, Li Xianyun didn't refuse to give money, and he even gave some hard work expenses. After all, he didn't pay the money alone, not to mention that there are so many profit shares.

Chen Zili also had nothing to say about this - damn it, I knew you would squeeze profit margins.

Fortunately, the hands and feet are not big, and everyone is used to taking advantage of the boss.

Squeezing employees is a science. If you don’t squeeze you, you won’t have enough profit. If you squeeze employees too hard, you will have problems in their work.How to squeeze out and keep employees from slacking off is precisely an art that every boss needs to master.

Li Xianyun's "spirit" is not enough, and the pressure is not ruthless. Generally speaking, everyone has little opinion.

Interestingly, at this time, the Jasmine Company came to intervene.

They suggested: How about we use Chaoying for our first cooperation.

Jasmine's calculations were very shrewd: the copyright of the Chaoying series is owned by Yisheng Media, and Lanyuan is only a brand sponsor and does not own the copyright.The first [-] online dramas of Chaoying have achieved results, but this part of the box office will not be counted in the cooperation between Li Xianyun and them.

That is to say, if they make a superhero series of games, even if the film produced by Yisheng Media loses money, they can catch a wave of enthusiasm in the early stage.

And the most important thing is: this is a work that has proven successful!
Enterprises pay special attention to the concept of "proof of success", and the reason is still the same: stability.

When Li Xianyun was an online writer, he once suggested to some partners: Or I will write works for you. In this case, it is cheaper than buying copyright directly.

But basically all companies are rejected.

Because the works you write may not be successful.

The copyright we buy must have proven successful.

Cheap is not important, success is important.

The Chaoying series is like this: No one knows whether Li Xianyun's other works will be successful, but the Chaoying series is a successful work. No matter how it performs later, the previous performance is not bad anyway.

I don't have to pay more for it.

That being the case, why not use it for cooperation?

There is no one who is not shrewd in business, and Li Xianyun is also happy about it.

Does he mind this? The problem is that according to the peer-to-peer investment agreement, our film is worth one billion yuan, but you only paid 1.2 million yuan, which is unreasonable.

With a wave of Wang Shuai's hand, it's simple, just let us invest more.

It just so happens that we have a big production in the works, and it is also a superhero, so there are no game characters that are not superpowers...so just a little modification is fine.

But Li Xianyun is still not happy, because there are other investors in this film, and they will definitely demand a share of the game's revenue when the time comes.

So Wang Shuai gave him a suggestion, otherwise, the Jasmine Company will use a sum of money to help Li Xianyun directly buy out the surrounding area.The game copyright is divided into peripherals, and other parties do not participate.At the same time, Jasmine Company will contribute another sum of money to help Yisheng Media reduce the financial pressure. In this way, their game production will not need to invest as much as one billion yuan.

Yisheng Media thinks this is okay, but the original leading actors can't do free promotion, because this time the leading actors are all big names.

Jasmine also agreed, the non-big coffee will continue to promote for free, and the big coffee will follow the original method.

So Li Xianyun pulled Linglan and they negotiated again. In the end, Jasmine and Feiteng invested 4000 million to help Yisheng Media buy out all the peripherals of the Chaoying series.

At the same time, Jasmine and Feiteng provided another 6000 million sponsorships for Yisheng Media, and this sponsorship was personally accepted by Li Xianyun.

And the production cost of Jasmine was raised to 2.4 million, which is actually their original big production, except for some modification costs, there is no need for additional investment.

To put it bluntly, it is to further save costs and reduce risks.

In this way, what they get is the flow of billion-level movies, but their own investment requirements have dropped to 3.4 million.

Such a general change basically locks in the cooperation of the three companies, which is a pattern of large investment and large production, but at the same time, because it is not an additional investment, everyone can accept it.

However, after such an operation, Chen Zili was immediately numb - because he had to consider the needs of Jasmine Company when he changed the script.

Because of this, he rushed over and had a big fight with Li Xianyun, as if I wanted to roll up my sleeves and quit.

Li Xianyun was also very simple, and gave him a check for 50 yuan.

Your script modification fee.

Enough atmosphere, right?
So Chen Zili obediently went back to torture the screenwriters.

The hard-pressed screenwriters said: Why is the excess revision fee not ours?unacceptable!

So Li Xianyun approved another 20 yuan, which was divided among a group of people.

In short, this is the way of doing business. The plan cannot keep up with the changes, and it will be tossed at any time.

It's not just money, but also time.

The Super British trilogy series, which was originally scheduled to start filming in July, has been postponed, and it seems that it will take another three or four months at the earliest to get it done.
