Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 110 Arrangement
Today, Zhouyi has developed to the stage of producing its own dramas and is no longer the small Pumpkin Creative Center.

Relying on his writing skills and achievements in previous years, Zhou Yi’s new drama is actually not short of investment and channel resources.

But the chips Lu Jiang offered were indeed attractive.

However, since it was a major matter involving shares, Zhou Yi was ultimately cautious and did not make a decision directly, saying that he would consider it for a few days.

Of course there is no problem with that. Lu Jiang is not the kind of person who would force anyone to buy or sell something.

But there has to be a deadline for consideration.

Lu Jiang took the opportunity to invite Zhou Yi and his wife to attend the investment promotion meeting of "Full House" a week later, so that they could see the strength of Dawn with their own eyes.

After the meeting, Fan Binbin said to Lu Jiang: "Lu Jiang, you don't have to be like this."

"Comrade Bingbing, what do you think?"

"With Yu Bo and I here, the show will definitely attract a lot of attention, so don't force yourself. I'll be upset if you do."

"." Lu Jiang laughed in his heart.

So this is what the girl was worried about. I thought she had a new way of negotiating.

"It's okay. It's not certain whether we can cooperate."

"If we really cooperate, do you really want to act?"

"Of course, that's what we agreed on."

"But will you?"

"Don't worry, even if I suffer, it's for you. Just be nice to me in the future."

Lu Jiang didn't explain much. Now that Zhou Yi had set up his own business, he hadn't made any achievements yet. It was a bit unrealistic to say that he was very optimistic about their guaranteed profit.

And there's no point in explaining it.

That's pretty good now.

A simple and crude love talk was thrown, and Xiaopang was moved again. If he hadn't gone to Shanghai to run an announcement in the afternoon, Lu Jiang would definitely be sucked dry tonight.
After parting with Fan Binbin, Lu Jiang and Yu Bo returned to the company.

At this time, Li Chao and Deng Chao also returned to the company.

"How's it going? Is it done?"

Lu Jiang asked directly, and Li Chao responded easily: "Of course, it's easy and enjoyable!"

"No twists and turns?"

"Yes, there are some, but our Chaoer is very capable and can handle it easily."

"Really? Tell me about it."

Lu Jiang became interested.

Deng Chao immediately talked about his experience today.

Today he and Li Chao went to audition for "The Emperor of Han Dynasty", the original drama starring Huang Xiaoming, Chen Daomin and Jia Jingwen.

Like Fan Binbin, after "Meteor Garden" became popular, several of them received invitations to appear in many film and television dramas.

Lu Jiang also plays a gatekeeper role.

As for Deng Chao, Lu Jiang chose "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" for him. This was the only famous and serious drama among the projects that came for invitation.

Moreover, being able to cooperate with Chen Daomin will be a great benefit to the Deng Dynasty.

This is not just a question of ratings, it is something that will really bring many benefits to his career.

Originally, the other party invited Lu Jiang, but the shooting period was too long, so Lu Jiang asked Deng Chao to try.

Of course, the other party was not very happy at first.

It’s true that Deng Chao is very popular, and he is indeed one of the candidates for the leading role in their casting list.

But it’s not the first choice after all.

If Lu Jiang doesn't act, Chen Kun will be next in line, as determined by an investor.

However, in the end Chen Kun was unable to perform due to schedule issues, and Deng Chao was able to successfully fill in.

But when I went there today, a new competitor showed up, and that was Huang Xiaoming.

"That guy was quite enthusiastic. He rode a bicycle all the way here, sweating all over. If I were a casting director, I would definitely give him a second look, but it's a pity."

Li Chao smiled and continued to talk about the follow-up.

Huang Xiaoming got the audition opportunity thanks to his proactiveness.

But in terms of performance, it would be a stretch to say that he can be on par with Deng Chao, let alone surpass him.

Besides, Deng Chao is an Asian-level popular idol star after all.

Better acting skills and overwhelming popularity.

How does Huang Xiaoming compare?
So in the end, Deng Chao successfully signed the contract for "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" and replaced Huang Xiaoming in the original version to play the emperor.

"Well done!"

Lu Jiang patted Deng Chao's shoulder.

Deng Chao was also very happy.

Being the leading role in a drama and working with Chen Daomin is indeed a rare opportunity.

Lu Jiang then reminded: "Chao'er, you have to act well!"

"Don't worry, brother. I will let everyone see the true strength of our Central Academy of Drama!"

Deng Chao was working hard.

Now everyone sees him as an idol drama actor, an actor with great acting skills, which is completely unrelated.

How can this work!

So this time, we must take off this label!
Lu Jiang nodded, and then reminded Li Chao, "When you have time, invite the film crew to have dinner together, so that they won't change their minds at the last minute."

"They also want to invite you to dinner. The boss has a little niece who wants to come and show her face here."

"So I'm waiting here. No problem. I'm available for the next week. Go ahead and make an appointment."

"it is good"

At this point, all arrangements for the company have been completed.

Yu Bo and Fan Binbin have Zhou Yi's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Even if they fail to acquire shares, they can be sure to star in it, after all, the performance contract has been signed.

The Deng Dynasty had "The Emperor of Han Dynasty".

The popularity of these two F3 members is guaranteed.

They are all excellent resources, and if you perform well, they can bring great benefits to yourself.

Qiao Zhenyu will play the second male lead in "Full House". His role is also quite important. As for the leading role, it can be arranged later.

Finally, there is "The Best Under Heaven", in which all four of them will star.

In this way, at least we don’t have to worry this year.

The next day, Lu Jiang had dinner with the two investors of "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" and met the so-called "little niece", who was actually that person.

Shang Rong, born in 80, is said to be taking the entrance exam for the Central Academy of Drama this year. As for whether he will be admitted, the investor's expression has already told everyone: this is not a problem at all.

Lu Jiang understood and didn’t ask any more questions.

Finally, it was finalized that Lu Jiang would choose one of the two dramas to arrange a role based on the situation. Anyway, there was no need to think about the third female lead or above.

The other party is also clear-headed. After all, Lu Jiang's new drama is now attracting a lot of attention. Moreover, Deng Chao's joining the crew will also be a huge addition to "The Emperor of Han Dynasty". Therefore, an equal exchange is absolutely impossible. They are already very satisfied to get a role with lines.

The matter was finalized and the investment promotion for "Full House" was officially launched.

The first is the investment in the drama.

Lu Jiang set the total investment for "Full House" at 1500 million.

No copyright fees are included.

"Full House" is adapted from a Korean comic. The copyright has now been purchased, and the film and television adaptation rights for mainland China, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other countries have been purchased, spending 500 million RMB.

According to Gold Finger, these countries will remake the film in the future, which means that Lu Jiang will be able to make a fortune from the copyright in the future.

Originally, he wanted to buy all the ones in Japan, South Korea, and even the whole world, but they refused to sell them. It was difficult to negotiate without the blessing of the golden treasure chest. After much negotiation, Lu Jiang finally gave up.

The production cost was 1500 million yuan, of which the performance fees of Lu Jiang, Fan Binbin and Qiao Zhenyu accounted for nearly 500 million yuan.

Lu Jiang earns 12 per episode, which is a record among male stars in the current domestic entertainment industry, and no one has any objection to it.

The previous record was set by Zhao Wenzhuo last year when he was filming "Feng Yun", when he earned 10 per episode.

Fan Binbin earns 8 yuan per episode, which is top-tier among first-line actresses. This is not an exaggeration and is in line with her net worth.

Qiao Zhenyu also earns 6 yuan per episode, which is also in line with his current market price.

Everyone has different roles, and the total amount is nearly 500 million.

Add to that Lu Jiang’s director fee of 300 million, and the film remuneration accounts for more than half.

Of the total investment of 1500 million, a maximum of 50% can be distributed.

If you want the project to run smoothly, you must share the profits. It is not advisable to eat alone, especially in the current starting stage.

Lu Jiang naturally understood this principle.

However, not everyone is eligible to share the profits.

The first is the TV station.

This is the absolute home turf of the current TV drama market.

Since they have decided to continue cooperating with Macau TV, enjoy local preferential policies and support, and achieve early broadcasts, tax incentives, etc., then they must be the largest part besides Dawn.

In the end, Macau Channel won 30% at a par price.

The remaining 20% ​​was taken by four mainland TV stations, three Southeast Asian TV stations and two mainland film and television companies.

Among the two mainland film and television companies, one is Beijing Jinyingma where Fan Xiaotian is located.

Fan Xiaotian is an old friend of mine. His company’s upcoming Fortune Star Pig Bajie series is also very profitable, so it’s very cost-effective to exchange resources.

The other one is the Beijing Film Studio, which is still an affiliated unit. It has to give this face to get the production license for the TV series and film "Dawn".

Originally, there was another company that wanted to invest, and that was Huayi Brothers.

But Lu Jiang was very dissatisfied with the resources the other party provided.

Wang Zhongjun of Huayi brought two plans this time.

One is a 20 million investment in Dawn, and the other is a resource exchange for a single project.

Regarding the idea of ​​investing, Lu Jiang directly refused.

He is not even happy with cross-holdings.

Huayi will be listed in the future and its market value is not small, but that amount of money is not worth giving away shares, and it is 35% of the shares at that.

The resources exchanged are also average.

Wang Zhongjun offered 200 million in cash and TV drama resources. In addition to obtaining an investment share in "Full House", he also wanted a second female lead, to be played by Li Binbin.

In terms of TV dramas, the two dramas are said to be Huayi’s key projects this year.

One is called "The Taste of Love" and the other is "I Can't Live Without You".

You can choose the male or female protagonist at will.

But the problem is that Lu Jiang has never heard of these two dramas.

Naturally, he was unhappy.

Seeing this, Wang Zhongjun used his ultimate move and went straight to the movie.

The movie "Brotherhood" is said to be a project jointly produced by Wong Jing's company and Huayi Brothers, a co-production between Hong Kong and mainland China, and it can be given to the female lead.

The plot is about orphans and is said to be able to win awards.

Film awards are still quite attractive to actors.

Moreover, movies co-produced with Hong Kong are indeed very "high-end" nowadays.

It is a resource that countless mainland artists dream of.

But Lu Jiang still looked down on him.

Not only because I've never heard of this movie.

What’s more, the other party not only provided the film resources but also had to invest his own money.

The key male lead, Zhang Zhilin, is now at most a second-tier actor in Hong Kong.

They actually thought of using the most popular actress in the mainland to promote a second-tier star in Hong Kong!

After rejecting both options, Wang Zhongjun expressed regret and left.

But soon, word spread in the industry that Wang Zhongjun was secretly criticizing Lu Jiang, saying that his eyes were on his forehead and that he was a little ungrateful.

Lu Jiang naturally ignored it.

With a golden finger, there is nothing to be afraid of.

At this point, the issue of shares was completely finalized.

The next step is advertising and investment promotion.

At this point, advertisers are about to fight
