Global Movie Emperor

Chapter 75 New play (it’s gone tonight)

pushed open the door of the company, and a cool air blew on Lu Ze’s face head-on. Lu Ze, who had been tortured by the high temperature, instantly shook his spirits, feeling that every pore was opened and he began to emit heat.

“Brother Lu is here? Director Han is already waiting for you in the conference room.”

“I know, thank you, Xiaomei, I’ll go over here, wait a minute…The eyebrows are beautiful today.”

Today at noon, Han Chen called him and asked him to come to the company. He was the only director of Gan Sega who had signed an interview with Lu Ze’s Korean director.

Lu Ze’s head was confused, and he didn’t know what Han Chen was looking for. After all, the two of them were in the company, except when they met during the interview, they had no other intersection, but it also showed that he was really okay. Go downstairs and take a taxi, and run over at the fastest speed.

After arriving in the conference room, Lu Ze found that not only Han Chen, but also Gao Jian, the Minister of Commerce, sat inside. His role was to negotiate with other companies or individuals to reach business cooperation, and he had nothing to do with Lu Ze. contact.

knocked on the glass, Han Chen turned his head and saw Lu Ze outside, beckoning to Lu Ze with a smile, Lu Ze pushed the door in, and quickly let Lu Ze sit down.

“Director Han is embarrassed, I live a little bit far away, so you have to wait for me for so long, Minister Gao is embarrassed.”

“It’s okay, we didn’t wait long, hey? Where do you live now?”

Han Chen’s attitude is very good. After all, he and Lu Ze are both contractors of Qian Sega, and they are their own, so there is no need to put on airs or make a face.

“I live in Huangpu, not too far away.”

“Ah, this time I came to you because Mr. Hu gave the indicator. Minister Gao and the others negotiated a contract. They just spent four million dollars and then asked for a notebook.”

Lu Ze’s brain suddenly flashed, and many things were connected. The trade secrets Gao Wanzhi talked about, the script that Mr. Gao bought, the director Han found himself, it is very simple, he wants to have a movie.

“Then what do you mean?”

Han Chen took out the cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Gao Jian and Lu Ze. After Lu Ze got up and lit them up, he waited for Han Chen’s message.

“Yes, you are the leading role, your own company invests in filming, who else can you give if you don’t give your own actors? But don’t think too much, don’t invest too much, try the water play, I direct, you are the male one, it’s that simple.”

Han Chen smiled happily. He didn’t expect to be sent to play so soon after signing Gan Sega. Although the investment is smaller, he doesn’t choose! He really doesn’t pick!

And he only stuffed himself with Lu Ze as a male number one. Lu Ze has good acting skills, and it matches the protagonist’s setting. It just solves the problem of casting his starring role. What makes Han Chen unsatisfied?

It’s just that Lu Ze is a little puzzled. A script cost four million. How can the investment be small? Five or six years ago, the cost of scripts accounted for about 5% of total expenditures. In the era of heavy traffic, the price of scripts did not increase, or the increase was small, accounting for about 2% of total expenditures. , Three or so.

“Which screenwriter wrote this script? Can it sell for such a high price?”

Han Chen and Gao Jian both laughed, making Lu Zeyun wonder what was going on in the mist. Han Chen first stopped smiling and suddenly changed his face, very serious.

“Who told you I bought a script?”

“Huh? Didn’t you say that Minister Gao bought a book? It’s not a script, can it be?”

Lu Ze was quite relaxed. After all, he was his own, and he was not too old, so he made a joke that two of them might not understand. Who knew Han Chen really knew, he was coughed by Lu Ze.

“Oh! What mess, tell you, novels, IP, web dramas, understand?”

Lu Ze just realized it, web dramas, who doesn’t know? Who hasn’t watched a few online dramas in recent years?

Lu Ze has been paying attention to web dramas five or six years ago, but at that time, web dramas were only synonymous with shoddy productions. Lu Ze watched all meat-selling dramas. After all, young people like to watch it in Internet cafes after working. Some mess…

Until four years ago, the big fire drama appeared. That drama was adapted from a novel, and it took the lead. It set off a wave of remakes of novels, which is the IP era that old men and women know.

Lu Ze didn’t think it was bad for Ganshijia’s first investment in the online drama market. Instead, he felt right. After all, Rongchuang Group does not have an online company, but instead has a pea video. Fire, not a mainstream video site.

The main traffic support of Pea Video now is sports content. Real-time broadcast of football and basketball, boxing, fighting, rugby, ice hockey, and many of them are sports that the common people don’t know how to play. This also restricts the discovery of the site and is destined to not be popular. Up.

“So Hu always wants you to make a web drama and play it on the pea?”

“Yes, after all, it is a brother company, and I can be considered as the brother of Sega, but everything is still profit-oriented. The first part must make money.”

Lu Ze nodded thoughtfully, and the topic was back on track again: “Which novel is that adapted from?”

Han Chen pinched out the cigarette butt, took out a book from a file folder, and threw it in front of Lu Ze with a bang.

“”The Eleventh Finger”? Suspense?”

“Yes, take the book back and have a look, and prepare to start writing a short biography. Although the investment is already in place, we only have a budget of 10 million, which is not much.”

Lu Ze flipped through the book and didn’t care too much. Ten million filmed online dramas, how little? Already a lot, okay?

“Ten million is a lot, it depends on how many episodes you plan to shoot with Director Han.”

“It is estimated that we will shoot 20 episodes. I researched it, and the number of episodes is not bad.”

Lu Ze estimated that a small investment has a small investment strategy, ten million, twenty episodes, which is safe and adequate.

“It should be about the same, other places spend less, there should be no problem.”

“But I have already spent four million to buy the copyright to the novel.”

“what?”

Lu Ze raised his head fiercely, looking at Han Chen’s shocked face, this grandson is too courageous! Twenty episodes for six million? How much is an episode? Three hundred thousand! Counting the cost of the actors, the daily expenses, the equipment, the wages of the behind-the-scenes personnel, and the venue costs, 300,000 per episode? Can it? Han Chen, Han Chen, are you tired of living when you are just over thirty?

Han Chen is also very helpless. After all, it is a physical publication, and his reputation is not small. Selling for 4 million is actually a normal price. If he does not shoot this movie, he has not the confidence to shoot other IP adaptations.

“I calculated it carefully Two cameras are enough for this movie. I plan to have three photographers and three leading actors. Recently, the company is going to interview a group of new actors. I can’t find them there. I’ll look for other people to perform in special styles. You can’t charge high prices because of the company’s assignments, right? The venues are not in downtown areas. Many of the scenes are in the wilderness. There is no need to spend rent, it is easy to solve indoors, the kind of one-day rental apartment…”

Lu Ze found out that the director really has any personality. Guo Mingde has a hot temper and is harsh on the scene. Cheng Yuan is accidentally smooth and good at scheduling, and Han Chen? No face and no skin.

Listening to him calculating the trivial account, Lu Ze covered his face. He really didn’t want to listen. His head really hurts, but what he said was also, how much money can he ask for for his own company investment scene? And I am not a wrist now, let alone more.

Han Chen seemed to be selling miserably to Lu Ze, but he was actually threatening Lu Ze, but Lu Ze still had to take this set. No wonder he talked to Lu Ze instead of Shen Jinghan, because he also knew that he could not get Shen Jinghan, so he could only It ate Lu Ze to death.

Rubbing his face, Lu Ze sighed: “After you’re done with Director Han, the investment approved by President Hu is in your hands. You are the director. If I guess right, Minister Gao is the producer? You can spend the money as you like. , I accept the company’s arrangement.”

“Well, the contract is not ready yet. Just wait for a few days to sign the contract. The crew is not big, and the preparation work will be over soon. I will try my best to sponsor as much as possible. After all, modern dramas can insert a lot of advertisements. This money can actually be obtained, and it will not be less. Now the script has been changed by hand. There are not many episodes. According to the original work, it will be released soon. As for the title of the play, I have already thought about it.”

“what is it call?”

“Forensic Medicine Qin Ming.”
