Chapter 125: Tomb Raiders Notes Shooting
Yuan Hua explained why he was not sold for 13 million with his fingers: "The production fee of 6 million plus my 2 million pay, Li Yifeng's 300,000, Jing Tian's 800,000, and the copyright of 800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000."
"Teacher Huang is so big that he can only earn one million people. It's not an exaggeration to say that he has invested 10 million yuan."
"From buying copyrights to finding screenwriters to adapt, selecting shooting venues, contacting the shooting team, actors joining the group, and post-production, I guess I'll be busy for half a year."
"I'm crazy just to make three million in half a year. Why can't I do if I have this skill? Even if I get ten million to lend money, it's a lot of money."
Yang Siwei applauded and said in admiration: "You learned mathematics from your physical education teacher. Is there anyone who settled the score like this?"
"We only invested six million yuan. Whether it was Li Yifeng, Jing Tian, or Huang Lei, we didn't pay any money. Tengxun paid 13 million yuan, and you made seven million yuan by replacing it."
"After the film is broadcast, it can also reap a lot of popularity and increase exposure, which is a gain of both fame and fortune."
Yuan Hua said: "The account is not calculated like this. What do you say? I can take on a show in half a year and I can still earn six million."
Yang Siwei rolled her eyes: "Where did the six million dramas come from? You think the protagonist is Da Baicai, and you can have it if you say there is one? Just stop when you see it is better."
"Listen to me, I won't sell it for one thousand three." Yuan Hua said after pondering for a few seconds: "Tell them, one thousand eight."
"Fuck!" Yang Siwei swears in front of Yuan Hua for the first time, with eighteen million, and he really dares to say: "Brother, why don't you go and talk, I really can't open my mouth."
"In this way, you told them Yixin Film and Television that the number of views of the Tomb Raiders Chronicles is not less than 60 million when they are broadcast. I will also carefully create a theme song for the drama and put it on the Penguin Music website under Tencent for free."
Yuan Hua also knew that it would be 18 million people would not agree to the question, so he signed the bet, and the number of views was not less than 60 million, plus a song.
In a few years, 60 million views are a joke, and Li Yifeng's version of Tomb Raiders' Chronicles in 2015 has 3.6 billion views.
However, the times are different. The trailers of that era, previews, pausing once in the middle, and clicking again is considered to be a playback.
The current 60 million is the real 60 million, and it’s just one episode.
A viewer contributes ten plays after watching ten episodes, and 60 million plays require six million viewers.
"Brother, Tengxun Video users are only more than 7 million." Yang Siwei bowed to Yuan Hua: "You are giving money to others."
Yuan Hua's songs are of good quality, and it is not a problem to make an album and sell it for millions. It is a bit of a loss to use it here.
Yuan Hua also felt a little impulsive, but he couldn't bear to let his children get trapped. High returns are often accompanied by high risks. It is impossible to make money but not take risks.
"Listen to me, just like that. Please help me bring the original words. In addition, the bet is based on 13 million, not that we don't want to play less than 60 million."
"Ah, this is almost the same." Yang Siwei reacted and smiled: "But it's still a little loss, the song is losing."
I won 18 million, but I lost 13 million. It seems good, but I still have a little loss. It would be fine if I didn’t add the theme song and put it on Penguin Music for free.
After all, no matter how you look at it, you don’t have much chance of winning.
But Yuan Hua said so, and she couldn't argue.
On the same day, Yang Siwei contacted Tengxun Video and told her about the betting agreement and the song delivery. In less than an hour, she called back and agreed to the betting.
Taking legal affairs, Yang Siwei ran to Shenzhen City the next day to discuss the specific details.
Tengxun Video has more than 7 million users. If you want to reach 60 million views, 85% of users must click on the Tomb Raiders Notes.
No matter how the official promotes it in Tencent Video, it is impossible to click on the Grave Robber Notes for 85% of users.
After all, the taste is different, and it is considered as high as 60%.
Therefore, to achieve the indicators mentioned by Yuan Hua, external publicity is inseparable from external publicity, using Weibo, major websites, mobile phone text messages, Internet apps, chat software, etc. to promote Grave Robbers' Notes to attract new users.
This time, Yang Siwei went to Shenzhen City in person to discuss promotion issues. The two companies worked together to promote the Tomb Raiders Notes. Once exposed, there will be new users, which is good for everyone.
In November, the leaves are withered and the mountains and rivers are already in autumn. The Grave Robbers' Notes are on high-profile.
From preparation to booting up, there were so many people who knew about the shooting of the Grave Robbers' Chronicles. There were many rumors on the Internet before, causing a huge uproar.
But the official did not explain, and everyone didn't know whether it was true or not. They thought the matter had subsided, but they didn't expect that the computer was directly announced not long after.
This time, the official Weibo of Tomb Raiders announced the cast and investment budget. After the broadcast platform, netizens were furious and became popular, and six or seven hot searches a day.
"Fuck, investing 10 million to shoot ten episodes, a single episode exceeds one million, are you serious?"
"Fuck, this is the big production!"
"The starring actors Li Yifeng, Yuan Hua, Huang Lei, Liu Tianzuo, Jing Tian... Wow, it's so great."
"Yuan Hua, if you are forced, go back to me."
"I've fallen, Yuan Hua and Huang Lei, actually filmed online dramas, are you doing so badly?"
"Is this the scene that I can't get? I've fallen to the point of filming online dramas."
"Actors should be clean and cherish their feathers. Don't take on inappropriate dramas like online dramas."
"I can still see the filming of the Grave Robbers' Chronicles in my lifetime. I am excited. I hope Yuan Hua will not mess up, come on!"
Netizens commented mixed praise, some supporters, some opposers, most of them were Yuan Hua fans and readers of the Tomb Raiders' Chronicles, while many people opposed it, and all of them were involved. People who claimed to be experts all joined in, criticizing Yuan Hua and Huang Lei, saying that they were not doing their jobs and were willing to fall into depravity when filming online dramas.
The Tomb Raiders Chronicles were discussed for a week, and the popularity gradually decreased. Just as everyone was about to forget, the crew sent out a set photo of the actors.
The first set is Yuan Hua’s.
He has a handsome and elegant appearance, his long broken hair half covers his eyes, his face is expressionless, his eyes are deserted, and he looks a little out of the world.
The most eye-catching thing is his bare shirtless, his muscles are even, his lines are soft, and his eight-pack abs are just right.
A Qilin tattoo spans the left shoulder and most of it falls on the chest.
When the cast was announced, it was not announced who played whom. Netizens thought that Yuan Hua played Wu Xie, but the original writer knew that he played the young man Zhang Qiling when he saw this image.
In the following photos, Yuan Hua is wearing clothes, with a black hooded sweatshirt covering her head, and a black ancient gold knife behind her back.
Overall, it is very consistent with the image of Zhang Qiling in the original work.
The second set of makeup photos is from Li Yifeng. She is in her early twenties, handsome, simple eyes, and a little naive.
Let’s not talk about the acting skills or whether it’s famous, at least in terms of being handsome, I have indeed passed the test.
When reading the script, Yuan Hua joked that the two of them were responsible for their appearance and handed over their acting skills to Teacher Huang.
Of course, Fatty Wang is indispensable in the Iron Triangle of Tomb Raiders.
Yuan Hua invited Liu Tianzuo, a drama actor, with a suitable image and no mention of his acting skills. He is better than most actors.
Finally, there are Jing Tian and Huang Lei.
In order to match the character's image, Jing Tian's long hair was cut into shoulder-length short hair, paired with leather jacket and leather pants, which was refreshing, capable and cool.
Huang Lei is the simplest, with almost no changes in appearance. Now Huang Laoxie has a good appearance, his weight has not increased, and he still maintains a bit of elegance. With his image and acting skills, Wu Sansheng has no problem at all.
As soon as the crew's final makeup photos were released, another round of hot searches was occupied. Netizens were more impressed by the Tomb Raiders' notes. Before the scene came out, Li Yifeng's Weibo fans increased by more than 100,000.
Hengdian, the shooting scene of the Grave Robber's Chronicles.
"Brother Hua, I can't figure out why you gave me Wu Xie." Li Yifeng talked to Yuan Hua during the waiting time.
Before getting the script, he bought a book of Grave Robbers' Chronicles and read it every day. He often fantasized about playing Zhang Qiling's appearance, and he didn't dare to cut his hair even though he grew his hair.
Who knew that Yuan Hua would give him the male lead Wu Xie and play Zhang Qiling himself.
When signing a contract with Yixin, Yuan Hua and Huang Lei were matched with him in the first drama, there was no one else in this treatment.
"Because it doesn't have much impact on me whether I take the lead or not. You just debuted and need more fame than me."
No matter how good the reputation and how many broadcasts of ten episodes of online dramas are, it will be very helpful to a new artist and very little to him.
Second-tier artists have all fallen to the point of filming online dramas. What else do you want to praise?
If you act well, people will say that their level is not lost, but if you don’t act well, some people will scold you.
Ten episodes of online dramas make money for the company as a good start, and by the way, Li Yifeng is just right.
"Brother Hua, I really don't know how to thank you."
"I thank me if I play the role well." Yuan Hua looked at Li Yifeng, not to mention that, his image is quite suitable for Wu Xie.
Twenty-two years old, handsome, fair-skinned, gentle and elegant, cheerful, naive in doing things, and sometimes frivolous.
The fledgling Wu Xie is almost the same.
However, he can only play the role of Wu Xie, who is a fledgling player. The middle-aged Wu Xie is in trouble. He does not have the domineering aura and the courage to be indifferent to life and death, and his scheming.
"Well, I will definitely play Wu Xie well." Li Yifeng focused his attention.
"If you don't know anything, ask Teacher Huang more, just before the filming has been completed."
"Okay, I've written it down."
Holding the teacup, Yuan Hua got up and went to the monitor to watch today's replay, and said, "This one doesn't work, it's a reshoot, the martial arts movements are not in place, and there is no sense of power."
A few meters away, just after filming a martial arts scene, Jing Tianteng, who had not had sweat, suddenly glared at him. Yuan Hua was not willing to be outdone and glared back, and letting a woman ride on her neck was ok.
"Of course, it's mainly a matter of martial arts guidance. The blood corpse actors add layers of protection, and the actors do it again."
With a light snorting, Jing Tian sat down and put on makeup.
In other words, Yuan Hua looked for her, but if it were someone else, she would have run away long ago.
Not to mention the pay for a single point, the content of the ten episodes is that there is not a single episode yet. Just for this episode, Yuan Hua cut her hair that she had been leaving for many years.
Not only did she cut her hair, she also asked her to learn martial arts. She either raised her legs high or whipped her legs and kicked her legs. After a few days, her legs were almost ruined.
Chapter completed!
