China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 129 Getting Ready
The time has entered August, and the time for the BJ Olympic Games is getting closer and closer.

It took nearly a month, and the script of "The Age of Awakening" finally passed the review after numerous revisions.

During this period, the general information about He Hua's script was almost inquired by interested people in the circle. After all, this book was registered in the Ministry and the General Administration.

The information obtained made the circle more enthusiastic about this project:
For film and television companies, small companies may also consider the cost of this kind of production and whether they will be profitable in the future;
Big companies basically don't think about these things, gift dramas, some things can't be measured by money.

Not to mention the actors, many of them found intermediaries to entrust their relationship to He Hua, saying that they could star in this drama with a reduced salary.

Among them are some current first-line stars, such as Huang Xiaoming, Xu Zheng, Tong Dawei and others.

But they were all rejected by He Hua on the grounds that the director had not been decided.

Good guys, where can you go? For these 45 episodes of TV series, you will take away several million. Is the remaining money enough for the production fee?
Besides, no matter what, these few don't look like the progressive youths of the Republic of China.

However, when the behavior of these people is passed into the ears of another person as gossip after dinner, it makes this person have a different idea:
The TV series is too long, no matter how few plots there are for one person, there will be no less, so it is inappropriate not to pay the film;
But movies are different, everyone gives two shots, are they ashamed to ask for a salary?
Coupled with the gift film, it seems to be a trick!

He Hua didn't even know that his actions would prompt another movie to come out earlier.

But even if he knew, he probably didn't care to pay attention.

During this period, He Hua successively met with Zheng Xiaolong, Hou Hongliang and others while attending the seminar.

After several meetings, the director of this drama was finally finalized—Shan Ying Kong Sheng

Why did you choose Kong Sheng instead of the original director Zhang Yongxin?

Is it because Kong Sheng is more famous than Zhang Yongxin now?

In fact, this is only one aspect.

Fame is of course very important. Now that Kong Sheng already has a masterpiece "Crossing the Guandong", choosing him can make the companies participating in the investment feel more at ease.

Another aspect is Kong Sheng's own ability.

"Mountain and Sea Love" directed by him is compared with Zhang Yongxin's "Awakening Age".

It can be clearly seen that Kong Sheng is stronger in promoting the plot and grasping the rhythm.

I also feel that Kong Sheng is very good at leading apprentices, whether it is Zhang Kaizhou who is currently working under He Hua, or Sun Molong and Jian Chuanhe who will shoot "Parents Love", "I Am Yu Huanshui" and "Everything is Good" in the future, every time Each can stand alone.

Therefore, He Hua chose Kong Sheng's other careful thought is to let him help lead the team and select talents.

The director has made a decision, and the next step is to determine the partner.

In fact, this step should be before the director is appointed, but there is no way, who asked Hou Hongliang to come to the door first.

This is also very good, to prevent those investors from intervening in the production.

"Hua Zi, Hengdian Film and Television Company promised to build corresponding scenes for us, but the premise is to sign a priority cooperation agreement with the company."

"Including but not limited to theater costumes, prop rental, life services, post-production, film and television investment and financing, etc."

He Hua put down the sketch pen in his hand when he heard Huang Lan's words, and said with a mocking smile:
"With such a big appetite, I'm not afraid to hold on."

"Since this is the case, we should cooperate with ZG International Television Corporation and provide part of the funds to let them help build corresponding scenes in North Putuo Film and Television City and Zhongshan Film and Television City."

Huang Lan hesitated and said:
"In that case, our production cost will rise again, isn't it too high?"

Now the cost budget of "The Age of Awakening" is already as high as 6000 million. If it is higher, the current purchase price of the TV station will not be able to recover the cost at all.

He Hua also understands this problem, but this is an unsolvable situation.

To ensure the quality of TV dramas, it is necessary to create real scenes.However, if the investment in real scenes is too high, the cost of TV dramas will be high, and it may not be profitable.

He Hua frowned, picked up a pen and continued to draw his own storyboard script:
"When Director Kong comes over, I'll talk to him again to see if I can reduce some unnecessary expenses."

"You also go to talk to the management departments of these two film and television cities, see if it is okay to send a few more thanks, after all, it is the Ministry's strong support."

"alright."

Huang Lan pushed the door and walked out.

Within a few days, the cooperation on "The Age of Awakening" was finalized:

Youhua Entertainment, ZG International TV Corporation, BJ TV Production Center, ShanD Film and Television Production Center, Modu Wenguang Media, Radio D TV Station, Huayi Brothers, Guangguang Media, Ciwen Media, Galloping Horse, etc. Signed a cooperation agreement with a total investment of 8000 million to invest in the filming of "The Age of Awakening".

Youhua Entertainment and Shanying are responsible for the production of the TV series.

Youhua got 500 million bank loans plus 300 million free funds, and the script counted as 200 million, accounting for 12.5% ​​of the shares.

"Aren't you coming back to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympics?"

He Hua looked at Liu Yifei in the video and asked.

The two reconciled a long time ago. After getting angry last time, He Hua counted the time difference and rushed to get up at the time Liu Yifei woke up the next day.

He sent a text message to say good morning, and sent Liu Yifei the pictures of various delicacies at the morning market that he took early in the morning to Liu Yifei via MMS.

At that time, I received a "hammer hammer villain" emoji.

He Hua knew that her anger was gone.

Sure enough, at night Liu Yifei vaguely mentioned that she was willing to play 'Liu Mei'.

"I won't go back, let's watch it on TV." Liu Yifei shook his head and replied.

"Is that so?" He Hua looked at the Olympic tickets sent by someone beside the computer, very disappointed.

Liu Yifei also noticed He Hua's loss, and comforted him softly in a childlike tone:
"I'll be back in the middle of the month, soon."

"Alright then." He Hua pulled himself together again.

This is what He Hua knew. Liu Yifei was going to meet Kong Sheng in the middle of the month. It was an unofficial decision, but at least he had to express his respect for the director.

Speaking of which, He Hua also violated his previous principles and directly opened the back door for her.

Then the two chatted about Liu Yifei's life there. Near the end, Liu Yifei suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked He Hua:

"By the way, when will the filming of the TV series start?"

"Late September and October, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, but Wuzhong invited me to shoot a promotional video. The tentatively agreed time is from the end of August to the end of September. I'm afraid it will affect this side, so I just ask, and the time will be staggered."

Liu Yifei explained to He Hua seriously.

He Hua listened to this arrangement, and was a little worried: "This seamless connection, will it be very tiring?"

"No, it's fine."

A sunny and bright smile appeared on Liu Yifei's face.
