Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 83 The road to making money explodes!

A little after four in the afternoon on the 19th.

Many of the main creators took makeup photos one after another. When they took turns changing clothes, Li Jiaxin didn't care about the tacit understanding between her and Pang Bing.

She quickly walked to Li Wenyu's side and said, "Director Li, can I take these sets of my makeup photos with me?"

She used to be very pretty. After all, she was the most beautiful Miss Gang, no, the most beautiful Miss Hong Kong.

But the fashion circle keeps going round and round, and suddenly I feel that the clothes and bags I bought before are a bit tacky and out of date.

Not only Li Jiaxin, there are many people watching here from behind.

Li Wenyu was speechless, "Let's talk about it next time. We'll release the final makeup photos after the filming officially starts."

"Including group photos, this drama wants to attract enough attention so that TV stations will compete with each other for high prices for the first round of broadcasts, and the topic cannot stop."

A group of people are watching.

Li Jiaxin glared at him angrily before leaving.

Fat Bing smiled and said, "How much do you plan to sell in the first round? Our episodes are a bit short, only 21 episodes."

Taking "Return of the Condor Heroes" as an example, the first round of broadcast of "Return of the Condor Heroes 2" was sold for 55 yuan per episode, and the total number of episodes was 48, so the mainland broadcasting rights were sold for more than 2600 million yuan.

Then other TV stations packaged the second, third, fourth and so on rounds, giving one a few million and another a few million.

Don’t think that the TV station is losing money. Beijing TV collected 2500 million in advertising fees in one round, and the gross profit of advertising insertions on Shanghai TV exceeded 4000 million.

That was the era when countless people complained about watching TV dramas in commercials!!
The copyright of videotapes is also being gradually developed in the legitimate market.

This is the case in the mainland, and the local teams in Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and South Korea have gone to negotiate again and again.

This is how you make money slowly.

My Love from the Star is a modern fashion drama, and it can generate much more advertising revenue than My Fair Princess 2, but it does involve special effects after all.

We contacted the special effects base while filming. Most of the special effects were sent to Hong Kong Island, where they were already very good, and a small number of the best ones were sent to Hollywood.

The development of kung fu special effects was promoted by Columbia. Li Wenyu is currently working with Columbia to win awards for "Marriage Story", so it's easy to talk about.

Li Wenyu lit a cigarette and smiled, "I'm shooting with a film camera this time. When I promote the final photos on Weibo, I'll do a cinema-quality big-screen audio-visual experience for publicity."

"This is not a dozens-episode ancient idol drama like Huan Zhu, but a 21-episode movie-like romance, fantasy, and suspense blockbuster."

"Huang Xiaoming's The Emperor of Han Dynasty has been a hit, and he has become famous. He still has a little bit of appeal."

When talking about Huan Zhu, Pang Bing got excited. "Now Huan Zhu 3 has completely changed its cast. It is bound to flop. Aunt Qiong has lowered her moral integrity in order to make money."

"But those Qing Dynasty palace dramas are definitely not as good as our gorgeous and fashionable modern dramas!"

This is a fact.

The previous batches of makeup photos and styling will set off a new round of Asian fashion storm once they are released.

Li Bingbing nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Director Feng of Huayi is currently planning a new film, and he's been working day and night with screenwriter Liu to come up with ideas. He said he's calling for a mobile phone."

"It's also a modern urban drama, but the way we select the actors and take the makeup photos over there is different from what you do here, Director Li. It's like two generations from two different eras."

Originally, the filming of the mobile phone was scheduled to start in 03.

Now, Lao Feng's reputation as a famous director in mainland China is being overshadowed by Li Wenyu. Last year's Lunar New Year box office big names made a lot of money! !
The problem is that the box office hits of Fat Ice are all award-winning films, which have grossed 3800 million in the mainland, close to the level of big names.

This is obviously a huge stimulus to Huayi and even Director Feng, much greater than Xu Jinglei's desire to transform into a talented director ahead of time.

Mobile phones came into being ahead of time.

This movie has really ruined Lao Cui's life. Lao Cui's "Speak the Truth" has been popular for several years.

This is one of CCTV's most successful talk shows.

After finishing the makeup photo shoot, Li Wenyu returned to his office and handed over some documents to his secretary to review. Then, Pang Bing came over with Li Bingbing and said, "Brother Yu, the Central Academy of Drama student Jin Dong you wanted to meet is here."

"Bingbing and I took a look and thought he was really weird. Was he a special actor? Like the skinny monk Che Paul?"

Li Bingbing nodded, agreeing without saying anything.

With Li Wenyu's current status, he has too much face in the entertainment industry.

Someone specifically sent someone to sign the contract, so he must be very powerful?
But just now Li Bingbing saw Jin Dong waiting for the interview. He was tall and thin with no flesh on his face.

To say he is handsome is not necessarily a good-looking guy at first sight, but to say he is ugly is not the same either.

Li Wenyu almost choked. "It's okay. It's special, so be it. Ask him to come in and talk. If you want to go out and have fun, go ahead."

More than a decade later, the National Friends of Middle-aged and Elderly Women was able to use his profile picture to impersonate a scammer.

But Old Jin, who is also a senior at the Central Academy of Drama this year and will graduate next summer, was too thin when he was young, so thin that he looked unrecognizable, which really fits the look of Che Paul.

Now the plan for You Who Came From the Stars is finalized, and we can start filming on a date next month.

He is also laying the groundwork for the next big idol drama, "The Lonely and Great God: Oddity," which may be directed by Xiao Yang.

The first and second female roles in Goblin are currently scheduled to be Liu Shishi and Jiang Shuying.

There are still options for the male lead and the second male lead, such as Deng, Hu Ge, and Jin Dong would also be a good backup.

Hu Ge had just entered the first semester of his sophomore year, while Jin Dong was already a senior.

A moment later, Jin Dong entered the office and greeted him stiffly. Li Wenyu threw him a bottle of mineral water and said, "Old Jin, don't be nervous. You are a senior this year, and so am I."

"Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama have a long history. My company is planning to sign you. What are your thoughts?"

Jin Dong almost fainted on the spot.

Especially the sentence "You are a senior and I am a senior too!"
He nodded hurriedly, "Thank you Director Li for your consideration. I'll sign it."

With the expansion of the You Who Came From the Stars team, this TV series has already become very popular in the film and television industry, and it started to compete with Meteor Garden and My Fair Princess.

As for whether the outside world has questioned whether Li Wenyu set the standard too high?

Do you doubt that his slogans are so loud and clear, and that you can make a masterpiece like "My Fair Princess" just by wanting to?

There are quite a few people who have doubts!

But Ning Hao and Xiao Yang had been running back and forth, from car and watch manufacturers to computer manufacturers, and even with 10 million from Tsingtao Beer and 20 million from Youngor, they still hadn't started...

The crew of "You Who Came From the Stars" and Time Media have recovered tens of millions of RMB.

This is driving people in the industry crazy.

But this is the appearance of top directors.

Why does Lao Feng earn tens of millions when he starts filming with big names? Because they have masterpieces before.

Li Wenyu's masterpiece? Single-handedly driving hundreds of millions of registered users to vote for Pang Bing as the most beautiful woman, along with The Shallows and The Piano Tuner.

He is the most hype-making Asian marketing king in the global brand capital circle.

Lao Feng is the youngest of the brothers.

Li Wenyu smiled and drank water. "Welcome to join Time. By the way, I have a suggestion for you: gain about ten pounds. You are too skinny now, with no flesh on your face. You are not photogenic at all."

Jin Dong joins and can play the role of Hu Que’s colleague, the police officer.

The death of Gao Yuanyuan, the fourth female character in "My Love from the Star", caused a sensation. The police solved the case, and his character and Hu Kuo appeared in many scenes. …………

September 9, after the autumnal equinox.

Li Wenyu arrived in Shanghu again. He had previously accumulated 100 free attribute points, and considering that he finally added some to fitness over the next few days (300/100).

At this stage, he is evolving more and more into a little superhero like Spider-Man.

He only has the 5 free attributes that just appeared around the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.

When he drove to the residential complex where "Star You" was filmed, he saw that compared with four months ago, the exterior walls of a residential building facing the street were also painted and decorated very beautifully.

Li Wenyu pulled over and lit a cigarette. "Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering, Cybersecurity, and Software Engineering—I'm still using the newly accumulated attribute points to increase the attributes above 80 points."

"My fitness level has reached 300, and my learning ability has improved a lot. I can learn faster and more efficiently."

After finishing a cigarette, another car drove up quickly in front. Ning Hao and Xiao Yang looked tired after getting out of the car.

But the mental states of these two are better than each other.

Ning Hao strode over to smoke a cigarette, "Boss Yu, that's awesome! That's all I can say. A TV series that earned tens of millions in advertising fees."

"I feel like with my experience as an assistant director of You Who Came From the Stars, I can go out and beg for money if I want to make my own movie next time."

Ning Hao became the deputy director of You Who Came From the Stars and also signed with Time Media.

I was originally thinking about asking Boss Li for funding to shoot his theatrical movie, but I have been running around for the past six months...from Tsingtao Beer to Yageo.

The road to making money is taking off explosively!

Xiao Yang also nodded vigorously. "I just started the first semester of my sophomore year, and you and Brother Hao took me on a flying tour. I learned so much more than I did in school."

"By the way, the film and television street in Ming Wanli Town has been completely built and has been there for a month. Brother, are you going to inspect it today?"

Li Wenyu nodded. "Let's go and take a walk around the community. If it's suitable, we can spend the National Day holiday and choose a day to start filming."

"I'll find a place tonight and we can have a nice drink to celebrate. Oh, and call Miao Pu, Pan Yuchen, Huang Xiaolei and the others."

Miao Pu is Jiang Shuying's one-on-one instructor, and Qin Lan is taught by Pan Yuchen.

Huang Xiaolei, an old classmate from Class 99, started leading Liu Shishi's crew as a supporting actress during the summer vacation and took over the role of Little Shishi.

Originally, Huang Xiaolei had sneaked into "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and played a supporting role in the crew where Liu Yifei played Wang Yuyan.

Now she has no shortage of TV drama resources at all.

After all, he is one of the veteran water army leaders, from The Shallows, The Big Shot, Wonder Boy to Infernal Affairs, Forget Me Not, The Demon Cult Master 2 and so on.

The network of contacts that the three generations of the Beijing Film Academy’s water brigade have access to is extremely extensive.

Everyone has the phone numbers and Penguin account contact information of several assistant directors or producers. In addition to her daily work, Huang Xiaolei takes Liu Shishi to the crews in Beijing or Shanghai to learn acting.

I won’t say what the dinner was like.

It was mainly a group of people getting together for a meal, and he also wanted to see if Liu Shishi and Jiang Shuying's acting skills had improved after being extras for two months.

五月份的时候江淑影演技（31/100），刘师师那个大坑妹7月下旬查看她演技才（29/100）。

This is a pair of difficult sisters!

…………

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, I went to a private room in a big hotel in Shanghai.

Li Wenyu saw a group of senior sisters or Miaozi approaching, glanced at Jiang Shuying and Liu Shishi, and called out to Ning Hao, "Old Ning, quickly pour champagne for Senior Sister Miao and Senior Sister Pan."

"They have been very troubled and worked hard over the past few months."

After not seeing her for a while, Jiang Shuying's acting skills have improved from 31 to 42 points.

Liu Shishi, this scumbag girl, has finally reached the "height" of 31.

Qin Lan’s acting skills are (65/100).

Although it is slow, this is the girl's first year in the industry, which is similar to the freshmen in several universities.

With Qin Lan's acting skills, she still needs to work harder to play the second female lead in "My Star". At worst, her role can be put in the last episode of filming.

Or you can do it dozens of times from time to time and take your time.

The process of refining shots is just like what Pang Bing did back then. I can use a digital camera to see the results every time and loop them over and over again.

While Ning Hao and Xiao Yang were pouring champagne, Huang Xiaolei ran to move around, "I'll do it myself. We're not strangers. We can eat meat if we follow Mr. Li."

"Xiao Yang, you are the fattest one among our three classes."

After some more banter, Li Wenyu invited the crowd to eat and began to explain, "Miao Pu, you can go to Hong Kong Island after the New Year and play a supporting role in a movie produced by China Star."

"The female lead is Zhang Bozhi and the male lead is Ren Xianqi. The resources are pretty good."

When Miao Pu excitedly stood up to pour the wine, he waved his hand and said, "We are all classmates. You don't need to drink white wine, champagne will be fine."

He looked at Pan Yuchen again, "Senior Sister Pan, go to the Emperor Entertainment Group's production of "The Thousand Machines" at the end of next month. This is Old Yang's new talent, a vampire story. But this stuff sells well in the West."

He recommended two senior schoolmates to perform, and these were supporting roles that the Xiang family and Emperor Entertainment Group's Lao Yang contacted him many times and asked him to arrange at will.

I can only say that this time is stuck in some wonderful links.

Before the summer of 2003, the number of Hong Kong films that could be screened in mainland China was limited each year.

There will be no limit until next summer, and it will become an unlimited co-production between the two locations. As for the screening rate after you come in, that will be discussed with the theater chain.

This matter has been discussed since January 2002, and it is not limited to the film industry, but is discussed in all 1 industries.

Therefore, neither the original series, The Legend of Mir 1, nor The Good Man of the Xiang Family, have been released in mainland China!!
The box office in mainland China has been a big flop, with only a few hits a year. China Star and Emperor Entertainment Group don’t really care whether "The Matrix" and "The Last Airbender" can be released.

I don't think I can earn much.

But during this period? Infernal Affairs 1 grossed 7800 million in mainland China.

It’s really China Star, Emperor Entertainment Group, etc., who call me from time to time and say that there is a new project here. Director Li, if you have a candidate, just arrange it. After the film is released, we will cooperate well in the water army promotion.

The original track of "The Thousand Faces" was not able to be released in mainland China. It was a purely Hong Kong film. The second part included Qu Ying and Pang Bing. Hu Jun from "Infernal Affairs 1" also got in this way.

The group of people in Infernal Affairs 3, including Chen Mingming, are not the only ones who are popular in mainland China. It is because of the co-production that the film is released in theaters without restrictions.

This is all pure water army face!!
Once you get in, you still need a lot of publicity and promotion, and Weibo is also a big platform!
After stopping the two from pouring the white wine, Li Wenyu smiled at Huang Xiaolei and said, "Xiaolei, you are one of the navy commanders, contact the crew of Hong Kong Wanwan yourself."

"If you want to promote a film, talk to the investors and producers. They will definitely be willing to give you a supporting role. I hope the online troll army will be more active after the film is released."

Miao Pu and Pan Yuchen almost popped their eyes out after hearing this. Is this even possible?
Huang Xiaolei was also stunned and insisted on ordering a glass of white wine to calm her nerves. "Mr. Li, no, I'd better call you Old Li. I don't think you're trying to create a social class gap with our classmates."

"In less than a year, the situation has become like this?"

Since the Asian beauty pageant, there have been large-scale water army teams, and there are definitely more than just the third batch of people from the Beijing Film Academy. Other groups are also causing trouble.

Amateur internet experts have discovered that water armies seem to be able to do a lot of things, and some of them are even organized spontaneously.

But there is no doubt that what the three graduates of Beijing Film Academy have in their hands is the biggest and strongest!
