This actor needs more money

In a blink of an eye, the end of the year has passed, and the time has come to 2017. The moment the bell rings, the new year has arrived.

On the first day of the new year, Qin Chao entertained. Qin Gang was holding a meeting and drawing cakes for his subordinates.

"First of all, congratulations to our brother Xiu, who won the Golden Rooster Best Actor in the past year. We will strive to win a gold statue this year and complete the Grand Slam."

"Congratulations also to Tang Yan and Splendid Weiyang for winning the 22nd Huading Awards TV Drama Award for Best Actress."

Last year, Tang Yan aired a drama, Jin Xiu Wei Young, which received a very good response and won an award, the Huabiao Award.

It sounds quite bluffing.

Many viewers easily confuse this award with the Huabiao Award. In fact, the two are not the same award. There is a huge gap between Huading and Huabiao.

The Huading Award is a traffic award, and the Huabiao Award is a government-recognized award, where big names gather. The two are not the same concept.

"Brother Bo's performance last year was very impressive. He won another Best Actor at the Magic City International Film Festival and was shortlisted for Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards. He almost won the award for the second time."

Throughout last year, in addition to Ding Xiu, Huang Bo also performed very well. In other words, Huang Bo's performance has been very stable in the past few years, and he is nominated for Best Actor from time to time.

"Of course, congratulations to Zhao Liying. Xiao Zhao has worked hard. With her unremitting efforts, Hua Qiangu, Lao Jiumen, and Zhu Xian have achieved great success. At this point, the company is ready to give the following rewards to the above artists..."

Excellent artists and excellent employees, Qin Gang does this every year to motivate people.

Everyone in the audience was envious as they watched them take the stage, thinking about trying to compete next year, because Qin Gang's reward was indeed very generous.

Artists are given shares and employees are given money.

After finishing the employee incentives, the next thing Qin Gang wants to talk about is the artists' annual goals. Because they made money last year, there will be more investment this year, and everyone will have work to do.

Lei Jiayin, Zhou Yiwei, Reba, Xin Zhilei and others who have joined the company in recent years can all play leading roles this year.

Mahua still supports one movie a year, with Shen Teng taking the lead, followed by Ma Li and the others.

After the meeting, Ding Xiu walked out of the conference room. His assistant came over and said to him: "Brother Xiu, Director Han Jia is looking for you. I have arranged for you to be in the office."

Knowing that Ding Xiugui often forgets things and comes into contact with many people, he may not remember this person, so the assistant reminded: "Mr. Han's daughter."

"It's her. Go prepare two cups of coffee."

Ding Xiu handed the meeting minutes to his assistant and walked straight to his office.

He opened the door and said with a smile: "Sorry, Director Han, I was in a meeting just now. I've been waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, I came uninvited, brother Xiu, don't be surprised."

"Whatever it is, you are welcome at any time. The last time we met was at my wedding. Time flies so fast. My child is one year old in a blink of an eye. You should have graduated too."

Ding Xiu remembered that the first time Han Jia Nu met him was at his wedding, and they had no contact with each other since then. If he hadn't come to visit today, he would have almost forgotten about this person.

"It's been more than a year since graduation." Han Jianu nodded with a smile.

At this time, the assistant came in with coffee, Ding Xiu gave Han Jianu a cup, and the two continued chatting.

"Where are you going to pursue your career now? Do you plan to be an actor or a boss?"

"Brother Xiu, don't laugh at me." Han Jia Nu took a sip of coffee and said, "With my figure and appearance, I can't make a living in your acting industry."

"I don't have the luck to be a boss. First, I don't have the funds. Second, I don't have the connections. Third, I don't know the business and can't do it."

"That's right. With Xiao Hanqian's temperament, she is a perfect heroine. If you join the industry, you will be the next Golden Eagle Goddess."

Everyone carried the sedan chair, and free compliments kept coming from Ding Xiu's mouth.

Although it is very possible that he is talking nonsense, it is not entirely a lie.

If Han Jia Nyeo really joins the industry, given her status, can Xiangnan Satellite TV not give her a Golden Eagle Goddess? She is the leader's princess.

Who dares to offend her?

"Really, brother Xiu, please don't fool me?" Han Jianu was amused and laughed.

Ding Xiu tentatively said: "Why are you lying to me? If you are willing, you can come to work in our company tomorrow and I will sign you in person."

"Forget it, I'm not interested in actors." Han Jianyu shook her head and said, "I majored in directing. If I came to be an actor, my dad would be angry to death."

"Alas, it's a pity that our company has lost a general."

"Not necessarily." Miss Han smiled and took out a stack of scripts from her bag: "I will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing this time. If I need help, Brother Xiu."

"This is a script I wrote. Brother Xiu, are you interested in reading it?"

It turned out to be for the autumn wind.

Ding Xiu understood.

I graduated from the directing department and came over with a script, probably hoping to get some money from him.

Ding Xiu took the script with an unchanging expression, intending to read it first before talking about it. For Han Sanping's sake, he would just invest 18 million yuan when the time comes.

Who makes this aunt's background so powerful that she can't afford to offend her?

"I'm not the god of medicine."

A few big words on the script.

While Ding Xiu was flipping through it, Han Jianu explained: "This is a news I saw two years ago. There is a man named Lu Yong, who is a leukemia patient and was caught selling generic drugs."

"When he was interviewed by the police, he said that if he didn't sell the drugs, all of these people would die."

"Brother Xiu, you may not know that the genuine version of the medicine he sells is very expensive, costing more than 20,000 yuan a bottle, and the imitation version costs more than 4,000 yuan a bottle, but the effect is the same."

"I thought this subject matter was very interesting, and then I collected materials and after more than a year of hard work, I wrote this script."

"The male protagonist is Cheng Yong, who sells magic oil. His business has certain channels through Ah San. His life is gloomy. His wife looks down on him, his brother-in-law looks down on him, and he is still poor."

"When the leukemia patient came to him, he refused at first, and then he was ridiculed and laughed at, and then he was ready to do this job."

"After getting rich, Cheng Yong was ready to give up the business of selling counterfeit medicines and wanted to clear his name and go to shore. The friends he made during this period also broke up."

"Later, a friend who couldn't afford generic drugs came to him again and begged him to return to his old business. This time, for the sake of his friends, Cheng Yong came back to work. However, the legal system was very open, and Cheng Yong was eventually arrested."

After saying that, Han Jianu took another sip of coffee and waited quietly for Ding Xiu's reply.

Ding Xiu said nothing, still immersed in reading the script.

Han Jianu was not dissatisfied, which showed that Ding Xiu was paying attention.

Ten minutes later, Ding Xiu finished reading the outline, closed the notebook and said, "It's interesting. Is there a script for the protagonist? I'd like to read it."

"Yes, of course." Han Jianu immediately found a male protagonist script for Ding Xiu: "But Brother Xiu, if you don't want to vote after reading it, you can't leak it."

"Don't worry, I still have some professional ethics. How about I write a contract for you now."

"That's not necessary. I still believe in you, otherwise I wouldn't be the first to come to you."

Soon, part of the script written by the male protagonist Cheng Yong fell into Ding Xiu's hands. Ding Xiu slowly read through it, just reading it hastily for an hour.

After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in disbelief: "It may be a bit presumptuous, but I want to ask, is this written by you?"

He had some doubts that Han Jia Nyeo had stolen the script from a cabinet in Han San Ping's office.

Because the writing is so sophisticated.

Whether it is the characterization of the characters, the framework of the story, or the coherence of the plot, it is not like what young people can write.

Regardless of the author's signature, he felt that it was written by Feng Xiaogang and Xu Anhua.

"I wrote it, I can guarantee it." Han Jianu confirmed on the spot: "I have been writing for more than a year, and there are still many scrap manuscripts at home. If you don't believe me, ask my dad."

"That's not necessary."

Ding Xiu will know if he copied it or not, and he will take it to Optoelectronics for filing. If there is no similar script filed, it means that this is the first draft.

"Your book is pretty good. How do you want me to vote for it?"

Han Jia'v said sheepishly: "I have never directed or filmed a movie, so I have little experience. Brother Xiu, what do you think the budget would be for this book to be made into a movie?"

Although she majored in directing, she has never directed a play so far. She has only made short films. Her graduation project was only a 30-minute sketch.

It was a bit difficult to ask her to estimate the budget of a play.

"It depends." Ding Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Now when directing a movie, the biggest expense is the actors' remuneration."

"Leaving aside the actors' remuneration, I think it will cost at least 50 million in production costs to film this story."

"Of course, you can shoot with 20 to 30 million, but the effect won't be that good."

Regardless of the actors' remuneration, the production fee of 50 million is not considered a top-notch production, it is quite satisfactory.

Of the 50 million, at least 15 million were used in post-production, leaving only 35 million in pre-production expenses, which is really not much.

"But if we want to film it, we will film it. We have spent 50 million, so we must hire better actors. After all, we have to consider the market, revenue, box office appeal, and acting skills, right?"

"If you hire a first-tier movie actor to be the protagonist, let's count the salary as 50 million."

"The rest of the supporting roles should not be too well-known. At least one veteran actor should support the scene, and two or three third-tier actors should be green leaves. These people should be able to pack in 50 million."

"In this way, the total budget will be about 150 million."

"By the way, the director also needs to be paid. It depends on whether you are looking for a famous director or an ordinary director. There is still a big price difference in this aspect."

"Later-stage publicity is also a big deal. There is a bottomless pit in this area. Twenty million is just a drop in the bucket, and four to five million is not much."

"If you calculate it this way, it would take at least 200 million to put I Am Not the God of Medicine in movie theaters."

Two hundred million, Han Jianu's face turned pale when she heard this.

I originally thought that by relying on my father's reputation and walking around, I could make a fortune of 40 to 50 million.

Unexpectedly, after Ding Xiu's calculation, it was 200 million.

Even if I ask her to invest in such a large amount of money, I may not be able to get it.

"But if you believe me, I can save you some money." Ding Xiu touched his chin and said, "Our company has a director with rich shooting experience and mature skills. The price is easy to negotiate and cheaper than outside."

"I can also handle it for you in terms of actors. I will play the male lead myself. I don't need to pay for it. I will convert it into box office dividends."

"For other male second and third male leads, I can also let the company's artists join the group at a discount. The price is definitely lower than the market price, and their acting skills are guaranteed."

"You know, although our company is a brokerage company, we have always had film and television production, such as post-production, promotion, and distribution. We have channels. We can package it for you in one stop."

"You don't have to worry about money. Qin Chao Entertainment will take care of everything for you. You won't be short of money."

Han Jianu was stunned for a while after hearing this, and her heart felt like a roller coaster, especially since Ding Xiu played the male lead for free.

But the next second it was said to be converted into dividends.

He also said that the director uses his people, as do the actors, and he does everything from shooting to release.

Well, the plan was perfect, great.

The question is, what do you do?

You're an outsider, right?

"Brother Xiu, what should I do?"

"You? If you want to seek stability and make a small fortune, I can fund the purchase of your script."

Han Jia Nu has a bad face, okay, okay, she came here to attract investment, but in the end she got a share of the script money.

They are all used to make wedding dresses for others.

"Mr. Ding, what do you mean?"

The script cost only a few dollars, and a movie script on the market cost about one or two million, so she looked down on this little money.

What she wants is to be a director, get a share of the box office profits, and become famous in one shot.

Ding Xiu wanted to eat her like this, but there was no way.

"We are all old acquaintances. I won't let you suffer. The price is five million." Ding Xiu immediately made an offer.

Damn it!

Even Han Jianu couldn't stand his indiscriminate bombardment.

It costs five million, which is several times more expensive than the market price.

"Brother Xiu, isn't this good?"

"Seven million. In addition, the screenwriter still has your name on it. If you are interested, you can come to the crew and become an assistant director to participate in the filming."

"Brother~"

"By the way, selling a script is selling a script. The assistant director's money and the screenwriter's money are separate. There are always 1.8 million or less."

"make a deal!"

Han Ga Nyeo decided to give up her dream of being an executive director for the time being and start working as an assistant director step by step to gain experience and fame.

When this drama becomes popular and she launches the next drama, a lot of people will be willing to invest in her.

One script earns eight million, and she also took on the work of a screenwriter and assistant director. If she succeeds in this project, she will have no shortage of fame in the future.

Eight million, it's so nice, her father has never made that much money in his whole life working at China Film Academy.

When she walked out of the gate of Qin Chao Entertainment, Han Jianu's steps were swaying.

"Hey, girl, how are you doing with the investment? It's not easy, is it?"

"No, it's easy."

"Really, how much did you pull?"

"Two hundred million."

"How many?"

"Two hundred million, by the way, I also made eight million. Brother Xiu said he would buy out my script and let me join the team as a screenwriter and assistant director. Dad, I made a lot of money this time. I sold the money. I have also accumulated work experience, so I haven’t embarrassed you..."

"Okay, okay, is Ding Xiu next to you? Give him the phone and I'll have a few words with him."

"He's not here. I just left their company."

"Go back to him right away and ask him to answer the phone."

"Okay... Dad, his assistant said he just left on a business trip. What do you want from him?"

"It's nothing, I just want to have tea with him. Alas, forget it if he's not here. My daughter, remember to tell me next time you sign a contract. I'll give you some advice. I've read your script. It's a pity."

At this time, Ding Xiu was hiding in the cloakroom of the office at Qin Chao Entertainment. He didn't wipe the sweat from his forehead until Han Jianu left on the phone.
