In the private room of the hotel, there are wine and chatting.
"Brother Honglei, we need to drink a few more cups."
"After drinking this cup, there is one more cup."
"After drinking one, there is three more cups." Cup..."
Zhang Yuan pulled Sun Honglei, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and the bottle was empty.
Not long after the meal started, half of the hot dishes were served, and they each drank a bottle of one pound of white wine.
Sun Honglei had an illusion when he saw this.
It seems that today I am not here to talk to the crew about work, but to come to talk to old friends about the past.
His head was slightly dizzy.
A pound of white wine is not a big deal for him.
After all, I got married from the dance hall, so it is impossible to have no alcohol.
This person starts with two pounds, and he can handle three pounds even if he holds it.
It is necessary to travel around the world and drink in society.
The same is true for Zhang Yuan’s men. Most of them have better alcohol content.
The family conditions are relatively poor.
It’s not just the helplessness of life, and the alcohol tolerance that can be forced to be produced.
Sun Honglei recalled that Zhang Yuan's alcohol tolerance was still enough back then.
After all, he was convinced that "Song Laohu" was having a quarrel.
But it is not as fierce as it is now!
I have a little bit of a big tongue, after all, I am anxious to drink.
But the other party was not drunk at all.
The key enthusiasm is like back then, without any investors' airs.
Especially after drinking a few more cups, Zhang Yuan took out something, which made him recall the past. "Brother Honglei, do you smoke?" "I have it, smoke me." Sun Honglei took out a bag of soft shells of Huazi.
If he was really confused, he was now China's smoking, and it was indeed the scene.
But Zhang Yuan waved his hand to refuse. "You can't do it, smoke me." Sun Honglei wondered, Huazi is not good, what kind of cigarette is it.
Panda or the world?
There were still sky-high cigarettes back then, and it was not surprising that one was 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
Sun Honglei thought, could this kid be rich, and he still planned to show off.
But when he saw the cigarette box that Zhang Yuan took out, he narrowed his eyes and smiled.
It's not a sky-high price cigarette at all.
It's even cheaper.
It’s just a pack of white boxes of Hongta Mountain!
A bag of soft box of Zhonghua can buy four or five packs of Hongtashan.
"Come on..." Zhang Yuan tore up the cigarette box and dispersed everyone.
The people in Dongyang Qingyu are not sure about this.
The bigger the boss, the more he is?
Zhang Yuan treats guests with such a cheap cigarette?
They didn't understand, but Sun Honglei picked it up and handed it in his mouth, and Zhang Yuan gave it to him a big fire.
It's the same as back then.
Not only does the movements are the same as people, but also the smoke.
Liu Huaqiang was the one who drew Hongtashan back then!
Only after everyone understood this explanation was that there was another way. "It was good to have this to smoke back then." Zhang Yuan said with a smile. "That Gao Qunshu and Director Gao is so stingy that Hongtashan can't bear to smoke it for us." "Recalling the time back then, it's just two words." "Green and sophisticated." ! ”
Sun Honglei also listened, laughed and twitched.
I also look at half of the cigarette in my hand from time to time.
As accustomed to smoking high-priced cigarettes, I felt that my throat was a little numb and my lungs were irritated, which was not so easy to breathe.
But Sun Honglei's heart was extremely at ease.
First, through this cigarette, I remembered the days when I was so tired that I only earned tens of thousands of yuan in a drama.
Secondly, through this cigarette, he also received the information given by Zhang Yuan.
I haven't forgotten the friendship back then.
So he felt relieved.
Zhang Yuan saw his brows stretching, and the little bit of restraint after entering the room also disappeared, and he realized that the other party had settled down.
That's good.
Your own goal is achieved.
He has to be at ease in order to talk further. "Sorry, I'm late."
Just just as Zhang Yuan and Sun Honglei were having a more happy chat, the door of the private room opened and a tall and thin woman was coming from outside the door. I walked in and felt sorry.
The visitor was Yao Dazui who was called by Zhang Yuan.
In this way, the original male and female protagonists gathered together.
Zhang Yuan attaches great importance to this movie, but the reason is actually to make money.
"Luxing" is a real drama, the kind that is definitely a big profit.
So to be safe, of course he would rather use the original staff, which would be safer.
Low risk and high return are his pursuit.
Besides, Yao Chen is still his own person. She became famous with this movie, and the company can earn more from her. This is a positive cycle and a virtuous cycle.
The best quality, deep-seated method of squeezing an artist's value.
You can only grab the gods from both ends.
Dongyang Qingyu handed over the first version of the script to Zhang Yuan.
He handed the notebook to Yao Cheng again.
"I'm really sorry, the plane is delayed." "Sorry, sorry." Yao Dazu clasped his hands together and greeted him one by one, and then he was called by Zhang Yuan who was waving to sit next to him. "I haven't seen each other for a long time." Zhang Yuan turned around with a smile.
"The first two times the company had dinner in the courtyard, but you didn't come."
"I finally saw someone this time."
"If I don't see you, I'll almost forget what you look like." Zhang Yuan complained.
Yao Cheng's face tightened, his eyebrows were strange, and he replied with a stuttering look.
"I, I, I have all the troubles, not intentionally..."
"I understand, everyone is busy."
"It's normal not to touch it."
"Let's do this, they are all new friends, let me introduce you." Zhang Yuan greeted him one by one.
Yao Cheng punished himself for three small cups because of his lateness, which was only one or two taels in total, not too much.
After another half an hour, not only did the food be served, but most of the food was eaten. The female boss Zhang Jing started chatting about the show.
No need to say, Sun Honglei meets the key condition that the director does not have a handsome guy.
And to be honest, Brother Honglei is as famous as his name, and the roles he plays are so loud.
He has its own traffic in the film and television industry, especially in the TV series industry.
Although it looks average, it has its own characteristics, the audience can remember it and can also call it a name.
Zhang Jing took the initiative to contact him on Yao Cheng's side.
The other party originally intended to think that since they cooperate, they would not say the right to casting in half, but at least they had to ask for their own opinions.
After all, the copyright of the novel is in my hands.
If you are not satisfied, Zhang Yuan can call for a stoppage of the project at any time, so they will lose a lot.
Just, the heroine Cui Ping, designed when the original work and director Jiang Wei deepened the script, is a very distinctive woman of the era.
Just like Yu Zecheng, you cannot use traditional beauty to act.
You let Fan Fei and Zhao Wei perform like this immediately.
In the original work, the character Cui Ping is the female guerrilla captain with an extremely distinct personality.
Smooth welding cigarettes, you can't use the toilet or the stove.
When I came back to the stage, although I had shaved water on my head... I could be treated as oil, but I didn't look clean.
What is certain is that this character is not only not a beauty, but also a "bold man".
The character is fierce, the force is extremely powerful, and it goes straight.
It just so happens that it shows an extremely strong contrast with the rich wives of the other leaders of the Secret Bureau.
The original work is less than 20,000 words and the description is not detailed.
When Director Jiang Wei deepened the script, he added a lot of light comedy scenes to the role of Cuiping, using this unconventional female character to highlight a different story with the plot and other characters. cute.
There is a saying in the actors, which is called "The Legend of the Conservation Man" and "The Legend of the Conservation Man".
The drama protector is just like an actor, but the works and characters themselves are full of charm, so they are forced to be promoted to the actors.
In fact, it is not just an actor, but also a typical drama protector.
I am a group of top experts, from camera, screenwriter, costume, coordination, etc., and adding actors and scripts, I have been forced to Director Chen Da.
People's Protection Opera, the opposite is true.
The most famous one is the sketch "Torchbearer". After Zhao Benshan finished the performance, he went backstage and hugged Song Yu and cried loudly.
Not excited.
Because the sketch "Torchbearer" is a topical essay.
It's going to be the Olympics, and the Spring Festival Gala requires him to do this.
Zhao Benshan dislikes topics and compositions the most, so the book is not very well organized.
The book is not good, but it has to be hard.
I am afraid of smashing the signboard, and I am afraid that the audience will not like it, or I am forced to do things that I don’t like.
So he was so stressed that he almost collapsed.
And said in person that if he and Song Yu hadn't been involved in this show, it would have been muddy.
This is the PICC drama.
For the drama "Luxing", it is interesting.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
This movie is a film that has both a play to protect the actors and a play to protect the actors.
Sun Honglei is obviously more PICC dramas, and Brother Honglei has absolutely no problem with his acting skills and personal charm.
When when it comes to Yao Cheng's side, there are more people in the theater.
Because Yao Cheng is actually a very smart and lucky woman.
First of all, the role that made her famous in the entertainment industry is well deserved to be Guo Furong in "Wulin Waizhi".
The reason why Teacher Zhu Yuanyuan chose her to play Cuiping after she became pregnant is because of the role of Guo Furong!
The character is fierce, the force is extremely powerful, and it goes straight.
Guo Furong and Cuiping are in common in these traits.
And Guo Furong's official favor is Lu Xiucai, and Cuiping's official favor is Yu Zecheng.
Both pairs are both "weak men and strong women".
And during the script design stage of "Luxing", Director Jiang Wei clarified the goal of "not preaching", and tried to be serious and humorous, so that the audience would love to watch more.
Most of the funny scenes are on Cuiping.
Yao Cheng happened to be famous for comedy. When putting it in this position, it not only does not be inconsistent, but also enhances this comedy effect.
This character is accurately stuck to her comfort zone.
So she is lucky.
One ring is tied up and one ring is gone. If there were no Guo Furong, there would be no Cuiping.
Guo Furong made her a well-known actress, and the role of Cuiping made her a first-line actress in the TV series industry!
This luck is rare in the circle.
In fact, Zhang Yuan knew that in terms of acting talent and skills, Yao Cheng was actually just like that in the film and television industry, and he was neither up nor down.
He is the kind of special actor who needs a specific role to be able to exert his strength.
Just fit the role.
I had a very happy chat with Zhang Jing.
Whether Sun Honglei or Yao Cheng showed sufficient interest in this drama.
In addition, Zhang Yuan was beating the side drum.
One of them is his old friend and the other is his subordinate.
With him here, things will naturally go smoothly.
Eating is to finalize the general intention.
After the intention was clear, neither of them nor Zhang Yuan left in the next few days.
Get together with Zhang Jing and Jiang Wei and study the specific arrangements afterwards.
It took less than a week to negotiate the contract stage.
It was very smooth.
Since you start talking about the contract, you will inevitably start pay negotiations.
Yao Cheng is easy to deal with.
Call Yang Siwei, Zhang Yuan is here again, it's not a problem.
There are 30 episodes in total, and each episode talks about 50,000 yuan.
That is, the total package price is 1.5 million.
Don’t look like it’s only one million, it seems to be average.
But in fact, it was already very high in that year.
When filming "The Smoke and Clouds of Jinghua", Zhao Wei's pay was only 100,000 yuan per episode.
Zhao Wei is really the top star, and she is definitely the best TV series.
This is why all those who shoot TV series want to climb into the movie circle, because the upper limit of the two is one level different.
All four-dan double-ice, the international chapter's pay can easily crush Zhao Yanzi, which is that much worse.
However, after the rise of online platforms in later generations, the upper limit of the pay of TV dramas was quickly raised, to the point where radio and television had to issue salary limit orders.
What level is Yao Cheng's level? It would be great if he could get this.
Moreover, half of the total investment of 20 million yuan was paid by him, and the pay was equivalent to him paying, so naturally it cannot be too exaggerated.
Yao Cheng had an agreement and signed a contract with producer Dongyang Qingyu, and the filming started only a few months later.
But Sun Honglei's side did not go so smoothly.
Brother Honglei is a man who knows his situation very well.
So the offer is never ruthless.
"Since you asked me to mention it, I'll say it."
In the office, Sun Honglei put on a standard squinting smile, and his smile was a bit cunning.
Then two fingers were compared.
"300,000 per episode!"
300,000 per episode.
It was a sky-high price in those days.
The 30-episode TV series, his salary alone will be 9 million.
The total investment is only 20 million, and he wants to get nearly 50% by himself.
Is it reasonable?
It is actually reasonable.
It is common for the male and female protagonists to add up to more than half of the total budget.
And this is the other party’s offer.
For people like Sun Honglei, there must be room for bargaining.
But even if it is reasonable, Zhang Yuan is unwilling to give it to him.
I just want to lower the price!
"This is too high..." Director Jiang Wei was about to speak, but Zhang Yuan raised his arm lightly and interrupted his words with just one move.
And everyone present discovered that the room had a very harmonious and cheerful atmosphere just now, as if it had changed instantly.
I saw Zhang Yuan pursing his lips, lowering his waist, and leaning forward.
The eyes stared at Sun Honglei without even blinking.
Then he spoke slowly.
"Brother Honglei." "I'm willing to give this price." "Oh..." Jiang Wei was anxious when he heard this, why did you still make a reservation?
But he was stopped by the boss Zhang Jing on the side.
Zhang Yuan continued.
"I'm willing to give it to it, do you dare to take it?"
After saying that, he still looked at the other party intently.
After about a half minute, Jiang Wei, Zhang Jing, Yao Cheng and others felt the room was cold. When it was cold, Sun Honglei coughed lightly and looked away.
When looking at each other, whoever turns his eyes first will lose.
Although Brother Honglei's face did not change, his heart was thumping.
Zhang Yuan’s eyes just now... were so cruel!
The money is easy to get, the question is, if you take it, can you still leave?
Sun Honglei has some background and background.
But the backstage with strong ideas is all in the northeast of my hometown.
In the imperial capital and Hengdian, he was almost white.
I have also heard about Zhang Yuan, Boss Sun and Jia Dai.
This matter is true, and those who know it will not say it, so what is spread is amazing.
So Zhang Yuan was shocked just now!
Brother Honglei finally understood.
Five years ago and the young man who poured wine and lighted cigarettes for him a few days ago were just one of Zhang Yuan's side.
And the reason why he can move up so fast is because of his current side!
The joy and emotion after the reunion made him almost forget that he had climbed from an extra to an investor within five years.
It is definitely not that easy to bully and scare.
Especially the other party's momentum just now did not seem to be fake.
If I really have to be so expensive, I may not be able to escape unscathed after the negotiations collapse.
However, Sun Honglei started running around the world in his teens and soon calmed down.
"All the price is asking for money, and I will pay it back when I land."
"Zhang Yuan, we have been friends for many years."
"No need to be so serious."
"Brother Honglei said!" Zhang Yuan immediately changed his expression and changed into a smile.
The others also felt that the atmosphere in the house changed, as if spring was warm and flowers were blooming.
Zhang Yuan understood that relying solely on scaring may be useful to deal with others.
But for an old man like Sun Honglei, he can at most take the initiative and momentum.
In the end, we have to have a good talk...(This chapter is over)
